Free Report + Podcast Reveals Internet Marketing Experts Biggest Mistakes, Best Advice and Action Tips

Can You Really Be An Offline Business Internet Marketing Consultant Without Experience?

James — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 02:53:28 +0000

Fellow Australian Marketer Kyle Tully is back for another interview. Kyle and I have been discussing internet marketing for a few years because we share the same views on most topics. This time we talk about offline business consulting and who is qualified to do this model. Both of us have been pursuing this lucrative internet marketing business model for several years.

Early start
Kyle got into marketing at an early age. He came through the traditional Dan Kennedy style of direct response marketing. This is the same sort of material I would recommend all serious marketers get access to. I own every one of Dan Kennedy’s NO B.S books.

Do offline business internet marketers need to be technical?
We discuss technical versus marketing skills. Putting together a business is going to involve some basic technical learning. If you can learn these things even a little you can put your self into a position where you can outsource later anyway. When you outsource the technical stuff you can know what to expect from outsourcing and you can fix things on the spot if you have to. Being able to talk about these things confidently will give you a boost when it comes to talking to offline clients. Professional web clients (corporates) will happily pay you to make small changes. You can outsource this and charge the client. We discussed the ‘done for you’ with a maintenance service model. Kyle says clients want this and I agree.

One time fee or recurring income?
Both Kyle and I were selling one time payment jobs when we started and now we both offer maintenance packages. Maintenance programs are something you should educate clients to have and also something that is very good for them. There are different things you can sell at various price points. (Kyle runs a membership site called Consulting Tycoon) Typical services clients of Kyle will learn are how to sell packages of websites, traffic, SEO (Search Engine Optimization, newsletters, article writing, PPC (Pay Per Click) , followup marketing with auto-responders. You can work within your strengths and clients will happily pay you to learn on the job. Once you learn a skill for a client you can use it for other clients and your own business.

Just do it for yourself or do it for others?
Kyle and I discussed the dream goal of sitting at the beach making money. (Ironic given that I am typing this from the beach house!). We agreed that providing a service for others is a great way to start cash flow and get great experience. We both still serve clients through services and personal content because we can hone our skills. Kyle gets a lot of enjoyment from helping business owners. The average business owner has a very low level of knowledge about Internet Marketing. Even with a small exposure to internet marketing and solid offline consulting strategies you will be able to impress.

Success stories
Some of Kyles students have started out with a good mindset and created a very good business within a short period of time. One of my own Business Internet Formula students (Jock Purtle) pursuing this model generated a six figure contract within a few weeks! We both have seen people do this fast when they apply the methods we teach. I have some templates in my SuperFastResults forum and Kyle has massive content in his membership.

Warning: Not so ethical Internet Marketers
Kyle and I have seen a lot of trashy products coming out in this niche (the ‘offline gold local business’ niche). Many of these were put together by students in dorm rooms with nothing but a taste for opportunity. For example any product that puts a heavy bias on cold calling is missing the point. Many traditional internet marketing experts have cobbled together products (often with a no-name business partner) to serve this hot niche. What you should be looking for is a solid business plan that involves creating a ‘pull marketing’ system (where the client will come to you). You should look for better ways to have clients come to you and they should also be keen to buy from you.

The real deal
Kyle invested over $50,000 in educating himself and formulated direct mail templates that he has included in the membership site that he runs. He has been selling these services to corporates as I have for years. Real experience in the market is irreplaceable when you are looking for someone to model from.

Hot Tips
When asked for advice Kyle suggested people take action and just get started. Start telling people that you are in the business and get going with it. One of the biggest things that is separating Kyles membership from the rest of the products out there is Kyles special Licensing information. I truly believe that Kyle is at the top of the game and he has produced more winners than any other offline community I have seen.

Complement Offline training
For people looking for offline consulting education from Kyles program I will include a 30 day free trial access to SuperFastResults. Plus a copy of ‘Its not about the website“. Kyle has generated at least $10,000 from information in my forum.

Dan Thies Explodes Internet Marketing SEO Myths In This Search Engine Optimization Interview

James — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 02:10:32 +0000

Dan Thies can be counted on for a controversial SEO perspective and he is qualified too. He is one half of the SEO Brain Trust, a new project for dedicated Search Engine Optimization enthusiasts and students. The other half is Leslie Rohde.

Internet Marketing all-rounder
Dan Thies is a very capable SEO (Search Engine Optimizer) and PPC (Pay Per Click) marketer. He has a very good business mind honed from being in the market for such a long time. If you can get good at both SEO and PPC then you have a great combination for making money online. I respect him very much and he is the man I ran my latest SEO product past before publishing because he knows a lot about this topic. He has a real business mind. We got to catch up and share some fresh information in this interview.

Keyword Strategy
When looking for the right words to use on the site you should use both the obvious ones AND the ones you dig up later through research. You will find they break into general relevance and specific relevance. (Ignore wishful thinking keywords!). Every page is a marketing channel. Traffic to the site will typically be coming to the site through multiple pages so you want to cater to as many relevant key phrases as possible.

Google Changes
Now with the way Google displays results there is a premium on the top few listings in Google. The top few spots are super sought after. The top three listings carry the greatest click through rates. Google are now trialling triple listings in the search results pages (SERPS). This is especially important since explorer browser uses tabbed browsing and this takes up more space.

CTR (Click Through Rate) Statistics
Statistically (over 800 domains) Dan has gathered private data that shows the click through rates of the top three listings. 50% of the clicks go to the top three results. 60% of those clicks go to the top position. In other words, Dan recommends trying to get number one listings for less competitive terms than lower page one rankings for difficult terms. Google are also inserting shopping listings and video listings in the middle of page one on a frequent basis.

SEO is a resources game
Try to do the on-site stuff at once but work on the link building as quickly as you can to get the site making money. Put the profits back into the site and build the amount of links for every possible relevant phrase. Keep using the resources you have to get top rankings for as many phrases as you can.

ACT
ACT stands for Analytics and Conversion Testing. Working on persuasion elements (paying off on the promise) is a deep science that gets huge yields. This is an area Dan is passionate about and deeply specialized. When doing SEO consider that conversions are a HUGE part of the equation because that is the ultimate purpose for a site.Profit comes from traffic multiplied by conversions.

Strategy and tactics
You need to do a lot to stay ranked because the competitors with the deeper pockets will out spend you in maintaining a top SEO listing. The competition moves down to lower and lower competition keywords. You will need to get savvy with SEO because the game is getting beyond article spinning and made for adsense sites. As time goes on more webmasters will be getting smarter.

Short v long
Sometimes the choice keywords are the short ones however not always. Often the longer tail phrases are more profitable. Revenue per click for pay per click ads show that the highest ranked keywords get more clicks and make more money per click. This means you should be aiming high for PPC and SEO using the RIGHT keyphrases.

Using PPC?
Use exact match because broad match sucks. Recently the live quality score has meant that a lot of exact match phrase match ads no longer display. Dan will be releasing a PPC course to cater for these changes. These are being rolled out in brainstrust. PPC and SEO go very well together. Use SEO to locate the traffic for PPC campaigns. You can buy more profits this way. (I run the Google search query report to tell me what key phrases are bringing me the traffic). Having great SEO with great rankings you can expect to have an excellent quality score. I have long advocated the use of both paid and SEO traffic techniques to get a larger part of the pie.

Amateurs days are numbered
We discussed the state of the market where there are some low quality operators out there jamming out spun content and fully automated blogs. Dan predicts they will get wiped out if they do not pay attention. The only way to play that game is volume related. Sites will get filtered as Google gets smarter and dials up the sensitivity. Dan prefers working on real sites with real content. The hybrid method Dan suggests revolves around having both the money sites and the content sites.

Daily original content
Have an assistant screen topic related RSS feeds and within 30 minutes create 10 pages of content. It is a useful human driven content aggregation system. We discuss the feedwordpress and wp-o-matic plugins for Wordpress. Putting fresh content on each site allows you to have a bigger site than your competitors by using the inbound links that are on each page pointing back to the page you need. The next step is to do this outside your site by building feeder sites that are building links to your but this is even more effective if you build links to your linkwheel sites. The more links you have and the more pages you have the more rank you can expect.

Useful Tools for Internet Marketing
Excel spreadsheets and RSS reader tools are handy for workflow management. Dan uses Delicious bookmarking for his outsource team. He bookmarks anything he wants his team to create links for and they automatically start linking. Using automation for Facebook, Twitter or some similar device is a very smart idea. Always offer readers a Twitter or Facebook sharing button option. (HINT – this blog post has one!)…. We are programmed to help share awesome content when we find it. Do whatever you can to get do to get a large fan base. Facebook fan pages are a good idea (and possibly better than an opt-in list according to Dan).

Great content is easy
Every page that carries good content can give to more links to your sites, enter your market as the bookmarking site for that industry and bookmark your own stuff too. If you can get user generated content you are ahead of the game.

Is PageRank still important?
What matters far more is whether Google is indexing your page and is the cache date up to date. Dan says pagerank is nothing to be obsessing about, he does not even look at it. Google originally intended the PR device as a value ad for the toolbar. It probably helped them to get a lot of tool bars into the browser of the civilian market. Professional SEO’s need not worry about the PR toolbar.

Getting links
If you need links just go to a forum and post. The closer the forum is to topic related matter the better the link. Answering posts in forums gets you links to your site. You can use the search function and find topics that are on theme. You don’t need monthly high PR backlink reports.

Get Dan on your side
If you want to get access to more of Dan Thies stuff then I recommend you get into SEOBrainstrust. They are offering research, testing, special private data, Bugs in Google, safe exploitations and other things that nobody else discusses are on the agenda. One of the excellent features is the Q & A podcasts. I have checked it out and it is excellent especially the clear videos. If you have a business or you are an SEO then this is perfect. Dan also shares data on Link liberation lessons (how to get links, where to get links, why to get links etc). I am also offering a bonus for you if you join through my link.

SEO Brain Trust Bonus
When you become a paid member of SEO Brain Trust you also get two months access to SuperFastResults forum. This is my own private forum where you can get help from me and other switched on marketers. (If you are already a member then you can select a digital copy of Business Internet Formula instead).

Blind Internet Marketer Reveals Winning Mindset Secrets

James — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 03:07:10 +0000

Matt Wadsworth is not (yet) a big player teaching IM however he runs a great niche online business. I met Matt in Dubai where we were both speaking to a new emerging market of Internet marketing students.

Strategy
Matts success in the niche markets depends on a specific strategy. He went looking into this business because he wanted more money than he earns as a classical musician. Going from a specialist to an internet marketing expert forced some great habits that others can learn from.

Knowing why you want to be an internet marketer is more important than doing the processes themselves. A specific focus around mindset is essential before you get too far into the ‘tactics’.

Doing the right things
5% of what you do will get 95% of the results. The internet is a business and knowing what your objectives are from the outset will help you be more effective, Matt suggests stepping away from the computer first to plan a little. You will also need persistence and perseverance to get success. Don’t expect things to happen automatically from the start. Once your business grows you can then automate and leverage.

Desperate mindset
I asked Matt about his attitude towards money. We both found that by NOT focusing on just money we can get more of it. We both focus on delivering value to as many people as possible. Taking responsibility for your own financial well being rather than expecting others to provide you a magic carpet ride is the surest way to get ahead fast. Being able to generate your own income is a very empowering thing.

Tear up your ‘excuse list’
When it comes to reasons why people cannot succeed Matt has got some perspective. Matt has been blind since birth. In this interview Matt explains how he makes money online without sight. One very important point Matt makes is how much better you can focus when you have less distractions. Knowing where to put attention is key in Internet Marketing. I say write down every excuse you have for not making money online and the ‘tear up your excuse list’. One of my many mentors Bruce Dyer taught me this years ago when I was a young sales person.

How does a blind marketer do internet marketing?
This is the easy bit according to Matt. A software program called ‘JAWS’ speaks out all the text on Matts screen. He is very adept at keyboard shortcuts too! The internet has made it easier for people who are in a similar situation to him. Accessibility on the web is improving for all of us it seems.

More with less
Matt can do all of this without some of the software items we can use. We do not need to have the latest brightest objects all the time. The other thing that Matt has developed to a great level is outsourcing. He has a team of people who have become his ‘eyes’. I notice Matt asks others for their opinions on the way things ‘look’ so that he can triangulate an opinion on the object of his focus.

Decision time
We discussed decision making ability. What we have now is the result of decisions we have made in the past. Looking back to assess decisions is a good technique for refining your future decisions. Match your business to your skill set and make decisions based upon that. What has gone well for you in the past? How can you bring more of that into you future. Find what you are good at and do more of it. Teach it and transfer it to others.

Simple truth
Generally when things are simple – not everyone is not doing it so it can cause you huge success. Matt gives the example of the website. Many people make it the big focus but the website is the last step. First you need to plan out the program. An important step is to identify a team to get around you, Find someone who is doing really well at what you need help with. Then you want to focus on traffic and conversions. The traffic must go to an offer and the conversions is turning the traffic into a customer. Matt like Joint Venture traffic. This is where you get others to promote and you pay them commission. You get paid to build a list.

Build the system
There are plenty of broke web designers around so focus more on the building of the system rather than the website. Matt likes creating his own product instead of selling other peoples products. Solving a problem is the key to selling more stuff since people pay for solutions. Do the things you are good at and get others to do the things you are not good at.

Buy with bonus strategy
When selling an affiliate offer create a bonus to give away. Find something that is already selling and create a complementary product. Offer it for free and you now build a list of clients from the market that you can now up-sell to. Buyers will jump at the chance to get a free bonus. The other product owners in the market will all approach you to sell their products and offer you special privileges.

Research tip
Looking around to see what is already selling is a great way to determine which products to create. Matt likes looking at the sales pages in the market and getting a feel for the bullet points. Check the magazine racks in the local store and if there is a magazine then you are in with a great chance.

We discuss Fear…
In public forums asking basic questions can often get you ‘flamed’. Success is all about failing fast, Falling down a few times is fine because it is likely to happen when you are starting anything new. Matt discusses why failing is a cultural thing we often fear. We discussed why a lot of out childhood programming and the school system is not really ideal for being an entrepreneur. We should question everything and be prepared to taking risks. Compared to buying a franchise we have very low risk online.

Free can be damaging
Some marketers ‘try’ internet marketing for free. It can be very hard to make money online using free things. Once you get serious and have a few paid options your business can scale much faster. Examples, a professional auto responder will outperform a free server based email auto responder system. Paid hosting is FAR better than free hosting where they display free ads on your prime real estate.

Invest in experience
Failures are just an investment in experience. Buying training, coaching or mentoring can be an excellent decision when you feel you will be better off and you will get a return on your investment. When you buy resources you are better to consume them as quickly as possible. You will get better value if you can dive into some work in transit time or traveling. Reduce notes down to bullet points and implement as soon as you can. Key action items in order will help you get the high value from the timing of new information. Set your self a time limit of a few days.

Lifestyle
Matt agrees. If we can do it other people can do it. There are people out there doing very well so we should find it easy to be motivated by the fact that it can be done. Things can happen fast when you focus on the reasons why and the strong belief that it is doable. I recommend you focus on your business each month. A small fraction of the tasks you do will be making you the most money. A number of things you do will NOT be making you money. They need to go on your ‘to don’t’ list.

Outsourced leverage
Effort into things that you are good at does not automatically mean you will get rich. Never get too good at the little jobs. Don’t muck around with the little tasks too long if you feel you need to know how everything works. Once you know how to do the task it is time to outsource it. Leverage yourself by automating and systematizing as soon as possible. Realize what the value of the task is and score yourself accordingly.

Matt gets famous
Expect to see Matt Wadsworth speaking at a very high profile yet ‘underground’ event in Washington D.C. Matt will be building his list in the Internet Marketing space now and he feels it is time since he has been proving himself in other niches first. Matt will be helping people with struggles and helping them out when they get stuck. Giving back is very important to Matt.

Final tips
Ask better questions. This will get you better results. Yanik Silver reminds me of this each time I have a brainstorm with him on a maverick tour. Matt adds to this. Ask better questions to better people. Find the best people and ask them. Find the best you can and get the highest level success answer! This is the fastest way to succeed.

Software
We both agree software is the great thing to sell if you have it. It is more complicated to get up and running but has a longer shelf life.

Comments
I am sure Matt will be keeping an ‘ear’ to this post so if you have questions for Matt or any comments about this content please post just below and perhaps Matt can help you:

The 7 Most Common Affiliate Marketing Questions (And Answers) FREE MP3

James — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:10:39 +0000

As I am putting together a product teaching people how to make money as affiliate marketers, I just conducted a detailed survey. The point of the survey is to make sure my product addresses the core concerns of my client base.

Internet Marketing Secrets

Traffic Evolution Jonathan Mizel Bonus

James — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:55:08 +0000

If you only use Google for traffic then you are only going to reach a fraction of the available market (possibly less than 20%). Most serious Internet Marketers are using paid traffic WAY beyond Ad Words. In Jonathan Mizels course Traffic Evolution you will discover the real scoop on paid traffic. Google Slaps are a thing of the past.

Jonathan Mizel is an internet marketing veteran who really understands the industry. I have met him several times at Yaniks Underground event. He was the first person I paid to receive newsletters from when I started out online. Jonathan is often credited for the name squeeze concept. The stuff I learn from him is always powerful and high quality.

What is Traffic Evolution?
Traffic Evolution is a course that teaches you how to leverage paid advertising. Be prepared to delve into the lucrative world of banner advertising. Once you know how these work and where to place them you can hook them up to ultra high converting squeeze landing pages. Use this combo to build a list of buyers and you are in business! The course covers ad dimensions, creating ads and much more.

Paid V Free?
You will discover why paid traffic is so much more reliable and consistent than free traffic. There are certain ‘rules’ and conventions in the industry you can just glide around once you know the insider code. You can also get access to the mountains of inventory reserved for those in ‘the know’.

Free is NOT really free
Plenty of new internet marketers focus on FREE. It is some sort of destructive obsession. Why is the emphasis on free when there often is a TIME cost to do free stuff? When you pay for things you can get leverage. Buying traffic speeds up profit when you have a good converting offer. Also you get a first to market advantage over all the free methods. While people are trying to SEO blogs and wait for articles to get indexed you can be bringing in revenue via ad network campaigns.

Learn the lingo
In the paid traffic world you will encounter terms such as ‘IO’ (Insertion Order). Then there are terms such as: PPC,CPV,CPM,PPV,RON,ROI, Frequency Caps, Solo Ads and more…. These will all be explained in detail. When you understand the codec of the industry it is easier to determine value and get the best deals.

Beyond Banners
Once you get into email logistics and techniques you will have valuable knowledge to leverage your assets. Buying links and understanding metrics are great ways to boost whatever you have in play. When you run email advertising you will need to learn about suppression lists and abide by them. I like the rounded approach of Traffic Evolution because it covers more than just one technique or trick (like some lesser products). Learning about tracking and testing will place you in the pro division.

Blogs, Articles, Affiliate and more…
Some people (like me) combine blogs and articles with paid traffic. Plus there are extra profits to be made by working with both affiliate offers AND your own products. Learn how this works in the course. If you need credit for running paid advertising then you will be pleased this is covered too! Price negotiation is a valuable subject included as a well.

What you get
The product is made up of:
- 7 Module video training (3 hours of streaming screen cast video or downloadable).
- PDF guide
- Resource manual
- Forum access

Who needs this?
If you have an offer that converts or you have an ad budget to invest then this will guide you. Many of the paid traffic sources compiled in the resource guide have excess inventory just waiting to be tapped. If you want to learn how to get into fastest and most measurable way to consistently generate floods of traffic then this course is for you.

Do I use these techniques?
YES! – I have been doing this for several years and I even released two very similar products over a year ago. One was called ‘UnderCode’ and the other was called ‘OptinBoost’ (Both part of the Traffic Secrets Monthly series). I covered many of the same techniques and resources. I was sent a review copy of Traffic Evolution and I watched the whole thing. Traffic Evolution is the best product I have seen on this topic of PAID traffic because it is so pure in concept and delivery.

Fully Guaranteed
The quality is high so the 100% Guarantee is offered. Jonathan wants every buyer to be completely satisfied and I expect they will be. I have been following his work for three years and he does great stuff.

WARNING
Traffic Evolution will close at some point soon. If you want it and it is still available grab it while you can.

BONUS
Naturally I want to make buying Traffic Evolution a no-brainer for you so I am offering you access to my new video “It’s not about the website” which is for intermediate to advanced marketers. It is a summary of the most important things you need to know to catapult from small to large online profit.

How to Always Achieve Your Goals and Clean Up Any Mess

James — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 20:26:46 +0000

Mindset and personal habits will make or break your outcomes regardless of the business model you choose. For this reason I went to Toronto to visit New York Times Top 10 best selling author Raymond Aaron a world leading success coach.

Success Author
Raymond is an authority in this field. Check out the books he has published:

How To Outsource and Grow Your Internet Marketing Empire

James — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 03:01:30 +0000

If you really want to scale up your Internet Marketing business you will have to outsource at some point. Most entreprenuers know this however not all of us are able to do it as well as others. This is when you look to others and see how they do it and get some ideas..

How do you find someone to ask?
Don’t worry about that I’ve found a few young guys who have 80 staff and managed to leverage their time (replacing their income within 3 months). The sum total of their experience (100,000 articles, 1000 websites, a 30 person SEO team in India). Introducing….

Marc Lindsay, (James Schramko) and Daniel Turner

Outsourcing Experts
Daniel Turner and Marc Lindsay are two switched on gents who really understand outsourcing. They run a multi-million dollar business from a small office in Queensland Australia. On this conversation I asked Daniel all sorts of questions I imagined you would like to ask him if you had the chance to get some coaching from him.

Categorize
They break down the online outsourcing into four main categories. (Design, Content, Traffic, Programming). Each of these elements need to be managed as a separate business unit. By setting up team managers the team can be managed effectively with cutting edge software. Daniel and Marcus have developed a business management tool however in the audio Daniel lists alternatives that have since become available.

Where to start?
Once you decide to outsource you can either use an outsourcing management company or you can learn the more advanced outsourcing techniques and do it yourself through a talent aggregation website.

How much should you pay?
You should avoid dealing with the lowest bidder. Also you should be avoiding automatic bidding companies (people who reply to every job without even reading the brief). Look for people with experience in the exact field you are requiring. Check feedback and ratings to make sure they were rated for the same type of work you are requiring. Make sure they are responsive prior to getting the job.

Advanced tip
Post small jobs first to select a few people to do it and then scale up with the winning supplier. If you get a few people to complete the same small job you will be minimizing the risk over the long term.

How do you pay outsources?
Keep the money in the system you are using. So if the network you use (like RentaCoder) uses escrow then continue to use that. If you branch out to friends and referrals from your original designer you may wish to use Paypal or a direct debit / International Bank transfer.

What mistakes should you avoid?
Software is one of the hardest things to get done for you. Daniel works with the rule of 3 to 6. Software usually costs 3 times more than quoted and 6 times longer than quoted! The other common mistake is to delay outsourcing too long. If you value your time then you really need to outsource as soon as possible. Start out small and start early.

On a limited budget?
Pay a little bit more and do your diligence. Spend a little bit more and make sure you have a chance of getting the job back. Post the small jobs to a few people at first and then run with the winners. Measure the results early and go with the most effective supplier. Write great descriptions for your jobs.

What things should you do your self and what should you outsource?
Strategic stuff and relationships should be done by you. If it is tactical stuff like FTP, design, content, traffic, programming, help desk can all be outsourced. Spend your time on your marketing. Look for ways to use system. Anything you hate should be outsourced!.

Is it bad to do things your self?
In the beginning it is ok to do stuff yourself. The trick is to get your outsourcing in motion as soon as you can re-invest in your business. Make sure you record the processes so that you can give the recordings to your outsource worker. This leverages your time. Daniel steps us through his action plan as if he was starting from scratch. Within a week he would be bringing in affiliate commission to re-invest in content. The next investment he would make would be design.

Look to your personal life first to free yourself up for your business
One key to building your business is to outsource the stuff you do at home. Here is a list of some of the things you might look to get others to do for you both at home and in your business:

- lawn mowing
- dry cleaning
- driver (hire car)
- food preparation
- event management
- personal assistant
- help desk
- link building
- keyword research
- spying (research tools)
- ppc management
- design
- recruitment
- management
- backup
- call centre
- copywriting
- newsletters
- pictures
- posting
- travel bookings

S.Y.S.T.E.M
Saves you stress time energy and money. That is what system means to me. If you can make a great system you also have a commercially viable product that others will be interested in. Make sure you set your business up as a system so that it is easy to run. If you are not spending time on the mundane stuff. Look at structuring deals with others to leverage your skills with others. Equity shares allow you to build profit systems for others while you do the things you enjoy the most.

Get Started
Make a goal for yourself to outsource at least one thing this week. Make a comment below and announce it. It is not a question of if you should outsource, it really a question of when. If you are thinking of growing a large online business and you place a high value on your precious time, you should be checking out the Outsource Method.

7 Things Killer Bunnies and German Fetish Porn can teach us about Buzz Marketing

James — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 12:45:48 +0000

Many of you already guessed from the headline this post is clearly about Dean Hunt the famous Buzz Marketer. I admit it is a blatant ploy to attract your attention. In this case it is very appropriate because my interview guest is a specialist in these matters…

Thing 1 – Be outrageous
Dean Hunt reckons it is ok to go against the norm a little with your marketing and who am I to argue. He is known for outrageous marketing stunts such as selling himself for $1,000,000! (Advertising space on his T-Shirt that is).

Thing 2 – Innovate
In the interview with Dean we learn about creativity and innovation. Basically you can steal other peoples creative genius and use it as your own by giving it a little twist. (Be sure to take full credit Dean mentions!). Take the most popular beliefs and poke fun at them. Bend and stretch norms into creative hooks to compel your audience.

Thing 3 – Always / Never
Dean mentioned a great technique to discover the way to stand out from the crowd in your industry (even if you are a plain old accountant). The method he uses can be applied in minutes and has proven to be a big winner for many others. It is called the Always / Never comparison. (Listen to the interview for more details…).

Thing 4 – Market Research
Dean mentions his top three resources for getting a window into viral traffic. These three sites are Digg.com, Delicious.com and Stumble.com. You can take the leading stories from there and craft your own version of that.

Thing 5 – How to write killer content
Dean writes for himself instead of search engines. If the content speaks from his heart he feels as though it will be more compelling to others.

Thing 6 – The sneaky little headline writing secret
The great technique for getting a really awesome headline is to write the content FIRST then do the headline last. You should have a strong feeling for the theme of the content by the end of the writing phase.This makes perfect sense and allows you to weave a good hook for the story.

Thing 7 – The world is your swipe file
Everything you observe as you conduct your life can provide ‘blueprints’ for effective buzz marketing. The key is to see everything as a technique you can repeat for yourself. Hence the world provides examples for you to model from. If something sparks your imagination then you have to ask how and why. Put that element into your own marketing and watch the results!

Dean Hunt runs a very personalized private buzz marketing coaching service. Dean is also a contributor to the FastWebFormula program of mine…

John Carlton Copywriting Interview

James — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 17:27:52 +0000

How To Write Killer Copywriting People Will Try And Steal From You (Even If You Can’t Spell)…

Revealing interview with living legend John Carlton

While John Carlton has been visiting Australia I have been learning more about Copywriting than ever before. John is touted as the greatest living copywriter and he studied under Jay Abraham and Gary Halbert. In this revealing interview we discussed some great sales copy themes…

John Carlton and James Schramko

People often get stuck when it comes to copywriting. Sitting there in front of a blank page can be intimidating for new marketers, especially when it is the most essential part of the ‘money getting’ process.

Push them over the fence!!!

John Carlton revealed some great insider tips regarding how to motivate people to make a purchase. In this revealing interview we discussed buyer motivation and various techniques marketers use when writing sales letters.

Nothing gets done until the copy is done

You really don’t have much happening until the sales copy gets written. Doubling conversion has the same effect as doubling traffic. If you combine them both you have an intensively profitable situation.

Hard hitting questions

I asked John about his thoughts on automated sales tools, long copy versus short copy, how to hire a copywriter and more. The answers may shock you.

Last minute advice

I love Johns advice to Frank Kern just prior to the worlds most successful Internet Marketing launch (Stompernet). John was able to clearly set Frank on track, solving the challenge he was having at the time. This snippet is something everyone should be aware of and is simple to apply. I wish I had know this several years ago.

Motivation

It was really great to learn what motivated John to go from ’slacker’ to success story. His story is inspiring and he also recommends some resources you can look up.

Two things every sales letter should contain

Did you know there are two things every sales letter should contain? Once you embed these into the sales process you can expect an increase in sales. ‘Lizard brain’ is one of them. This triggering of ancient mind patterns is so powerful it causes fully grown adults to move into a buying frenzy beyond their own control!

Common sales writing mistakes

In the interview you can get an insight into mistakes you really need to avoid. Once you steer clear of them your results should improve. Applying just a few of these tips can shift your mindset forever. Putting words into a codec of proven sales persuasion is one of the best ways to crank up profits in an already established website.

Fast gains for YOU

When you combine scarcity tactics, bullet points and several other secrets John mentions, you will be in the elite category. Perhaps you will double your sales too!

PPC Bully 2 Review Bonus

James — Sun, 24 May 2009 04:25:33 +0000

Emil Paz – PPC Bully 2 Founder

In our interview we discuss a few PPC techniques you may want to consider. I accidentally uncovered some of Emil’s hottest PPC strategies! Listen in and see if you can spot them… We discuss Clickbank, CPA, international bidding and more…

Finding profitable PPC campaigns using spy tools becomes more and more popular. Why? Because it actually works. Tweaking your campaigns until they get profitable can be expensive and requires a lot of time. Spy tools can help to identify profitable much faster.

This is the traditional way of finding profitable campaigns

Spy tools like Keywordspy, Spy Fu, Keycompete have been available for some time. There are great to spy on your competitors and find profitable keywords. But they show just a snapshot and don’t display when the ads have been appeared for the first and last time and how many times they have been displayed.

The first tool that showed the history of Adwords campaigns was Chris Carpenter’s Google Cash Detective. It was launched in March 2009 for $1997 and is currently sold out.

Enter the new bad boy on the block!

Emilio Paz from PPCBully just developed version 2 of his popular ppcbully online PPC tracking software. Version 2 has similar features as Google Cash Detective. It shows when an ad was first/last seen in Adwords, how many times it was found, the ad position and average CPC.

How does PPCBully 2 work?

1. First you enter a keyword, destination url (e.g. affiliate link) or display url:

2. In the next step you can sort the results based on a profitability index (PI). PI is calculated as follows: (number of days the ad is seen * percentage seen)/number of days since last seen. Campaigns with a PI over 10 are worth to be investigated further.

3. Once you have found profitable campaigns you can access the other keywords the affiliate is bidding on with a click of a mousebutton.

The data is revealed instantly

The PPC Bully 2 Method of profitable campaigns!

Now you have all the results to replicate the successful campaign. It’s highly recommended not just to copy the ads, but to create similar ads and try to improve them.

Top Ten Reasons I like PPC Bully

1. Only TOP and quality keywords with traffic are listed (you’ll not find ‘nonsense keywords inside…like in other products…) they use a very good screening and educated keyword generation to enter into the system from all IM niches.

2. As a result of #1 for CLICKBANK alone they have over 2,000,000 direct linking ads that are checked twice a day and the new encryption is NOT an issue…

3. Very simple and cool user interface that anyone can use with minimal instruction

4. Download capabilities for keywords. Just click a button and save to y oru desktop…

5. You can choose your results from UK (HUGE market) or US (doesn’t exist in the competitors)

6. filter and sort capabilities…you know exactly where you are the whole time…

7. Time parting of the ads –> graphs that shows you exactly on what hours of the day and days of the week the ad was seen

8. No need to wait, just search and get the results on the spot! The best keywords are already there.

9. Automatically identifies direct linking ads from over 60 affiliate and CPA networks

10. Live and real people support … they hate the traditional ‘ticket’ system …

Conclusion:

PPCBully 2 is a powerful spy tool to find profitable Adwords campaigns quickly. It works very similar as the Google Cash Detective. You can just enter affiliate links (the Clickbank affiliate nickname for example will do) to find profitable direct linking campaign, keywords or destination urls and PPCbully will return all running Adwords ads with their profitability index.

I concentrate on Ad Words in the US and UK markets so this is ideal for me. The tool deals with high competition keywords so the database is extensive enough straight out of the box.

Thumbs Up!

I recommend this tool for PPC affiliates who want to have an unfair advantage over their competitors. It’s great to find profitable direct linking campaigns.

They just released a free report where Emilio shows how he found a successful PPC campaign promoting a Clickbank product in less than 56 minutes.

Internet Marketing Secrets

James — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 13:48:08 +0000

Very occasionally a marketer like Kyle Tully comes out with something so truthful and daring that is smacks you in the face. If you are expecting a huge secret then you will be shocked. There is NO secret to making money online.

Have you noticed in Internet Marketing that every few days there is a new must have secret?

The boring truth is that almost every single one of the hype marketers are using the exact SAME core skills no matter what it is they are trying to sell you. Once you realize they are all using basics such as copywriting and other core skills you can reshape your mind about how to approach internet marketing.

Deceptive Conduct

Kyle has put a different twist on newsletters and forums. Instead of the constant blast of affiliate promotions Kyle wanted to share the nuts and bolts of his business. He sat down to right a genuine newsletter sharing the REAL skills you need to make it in this business. He ended up with much more than a newsletter…

The first newsletter became a report

It is a report about running a business, how to choose a market, how to sell it to them, traffic, making offers, surveying customers, list building, testing, one time offers. Kyle is convinced you can get started fast building your business even if you do not have a lot of resources such as money or time.

4 Hours is plenty of time per day for a full time income…

Naturally when things take off you need to re-invest into your business and as it grows. One of the most important thing is to start at a level that allows you to progress. Trying to make a home study course as your first product is a mistake because it takes so long.

Being a perfectionist will kill your chances

Kyle does include techniques to overcome procrastination. The thing I like about Lost Blueprint is that it has no fluff. The report is concise and easy to put into action. The money online comes from mastering yourself and learning what to produce and how to produce it is the available time. Kyle will not waste your time with this report.

The Lost Skills

Copywriting is a really important thing to learn and you will be able to leverage up your business once you get the hang of it. Persuasion and influence are great copywriting techniques. Kyle says copywriting is a persuasive conversation. Being honest and telling a true story is a great way to convince people and is also the easiest way to get started.

Avoid Overload

If you try and learn too much information you can overload your brain with too much information. The lost blueprint covers the basics that every internet marketing success contains. New people can get the best value from the report by getting the concept that they must be putting together a Website (wordpress is good), a domain name, a sales page, be building a list and using email marketing.

What to giveaway to get a name?

Kyle has had great success creating simple products to use as giveaways to build a list. Two pages and a good reason is all you need. 7 Part email newsletters are also effective for giveaways. Audio and Video are high value giveaways. Above all, make it very simple. You can tell if what you are offering is good enough by the feedback that you get from subscribers. The more content you publish and you put out there, the more confident you will get.

New to all this?

It is ok to be a little nervous about publishing new content. This is just normal for new product creators. Keep it very simple. Kyle has done this in his report by pointing out the main things the most successful people are doing rather than the fads many of them are teaching. Kyles final advice is get something going. Just get a website up today and get going with building your list.

Recommended resources:

Hosting
Domain Name
Aweber (Build a List)

Verdict

The most money is made by building a list and having great sales copywriting. The report is excellent value and Kyle walks the walk. Great way to invest $10.

The write stuff – How to turn your writing passion into a high paying lifestyle

How To Increase Sales by 66% Using Tribal Association Marketing

James — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 12:59:12 +0000

26 Months average continuity for members is a pretty high ’stick rate’. Tim Schmidt from TribalMarketingAssociation.org averages that easily with his profit pulling association business model.

Behavior of members…

Tim has tapped into the hard wiring of humans to come up with an extremely effective business model that turns traditional KPI numbers upside down. In this interview about Tims tribal marketing secrets I leave no stone unturned as we delve into the hidden world of tribal associations.

Tim was losing money fast

Tim had his back against the wall because he was losing 15 – 20 k per month on his dream publishing business. The household finances were straining under the pressure to a point where something had to give. Listen to the interview and hear how Tim was at the edge of financial ruin before he turned things around.

Why can other people make a profit and not him?

He noticed other companies getting along ok and then he found a way to blend a few ideas together in a super powerful combo. The new recipe for the publishing business was very solid. Tim had combined several aspects of direct response marketing, membership forums and offline magazines to form an ‘association’. The good news is, the success is replicatable because all the systems are checkbox documented. Tim has tested the model several times for the same results.

To revamp your business you just inject a ‘need to belong’

Clients care about products and services. You can have clients turn into fanatics and true believers if you inject a reason to belong. Associations allow members to have an identity and a feeling of tribe. Whatever business you are in you can wrap one around it. Members buy 66% more stuff. Tim says there are seven essential factors for creating a tribe:

- common enemy
- story
- reason
- ritual
- language
- jargon
- leader

Who Can Profit From An Association Business Model?

Tim says a lot of times people dismiss the idea of association marketing however it could work in a huge number of specialties. The list of opportunities is endless. If there is an association in your space this is a great sign because you have a market worth serving. If you are first in, even better. If there is an existing association you can come in and do it better. There is almost no chance they have stumbled across this powerful combo.

Layer upon layer

The different elements of association memberships give people a way to communicate and grow. You can step in the modules of the association such as publishing magaizines for members. With just a slight shift in perspective customers become believers. Add the layers as the association grows.

Benefits of using association marketing

Association marketing is very simple to implement and it is not like a fad or a technique – this is a lifestyle which will be strong and survive many different economies. Tim says you can use it to build a business that is real even in the worst recession the U.S has seen for decades.

What if you are not a leader?

Tim was not a leader and he spent ten years avoiding people. Leadership is not about convincing people to do your work for you. Tim is not sure how he switched but decided to lead by example and inspire people. He wanted to put his people in a position where they were set up to succeed. This is real leadership. He quit fighting and decided to be responsible.

The personal touch

Tim has an interesting technique he uses to contact his members and it is super powerful. You need to listen to the call to discover what that is.The response he gets is amazing and builds a huge loyalty with the members, No wonder they stick around. Having really interesting promotions is a great way to spread the belief. You have a feeling of friendship with members. Once Tim did a promotion where he interviews Turkeys. The graphics were very comical and his members loved it. He also did a ‘Tims broken toe’ sale including an xray!

Nuts and Bolts

For payment, Tim sets up recurring monhtly or annual invoice fees. The membership revenues equal roughly 50% and the other 50% comes from backend sales. Members decide what titles they want and how much they would pay for them. The products are physical multi media products. Workbook, DVD and CD’s etc… Titles are on topics members find of high value. Tim gets experts to help him prepare them.

Affiliates optional

The affiliate program is very tightly run and the association does not require sales from affiliates. Tim does a lot of PPC marketing and direct response advertising in magazine memberships. Once you know your aquisition cost you can measure advertising very effectively.

How to get started

For hardware and software you can spend as much as you like or you can duct tape some software together and make it work. You can use Wordpress and Amember to make it integrate or a professional solution like membergate. The most important thing ever is how you communicate with yoru members. It starts with how you integrate your message into the belief system. This is more important than the way the system is built.

User Generated Content

The forum has over 600 posts a day and the members generate an enormous amount of content which is special since people are paying to be there and they care about it. Content is very good quality and members are highly protective of the environment. Once you get momentum your members will protect the environment.

Summary

You get results long term. The business grows and grows and grows. The developement of a strong association can recession proof your business. You are truly building a massive asset. Tim gives a huge amount to others and he has a lot of passion. He is now keen to give back. If you want to start a highly profitable association I recomend you seek the world expert – Tim Schmidt He is the go to authority on the subject of tribal association marketing.
