A bank busting time machine?

I’m going to make this quick, because there really isn’t a lot of time to waste here…

I’m not sure how long you’ve been in this business, but if you’ve been around for a few years, there is no doubt you remember just how easy it was to make sales and get subscribers “back in the day”.

Seriously, you could literally put any sales or squeeze page on the first page of Google or any other search engine for that matter, and the sales and leads would just PILE in pretty much NON-STOP.

It sure ain’t like that anymore! One needs to have a page full of  “relevant” content just to get people through the Google search results to your site and then while on your site convince them to click the link that you’ve placed there to go to the actual sales/squeeze page.

Less steps is ALWAYS better, yes?

Consequently …  how would you like to jump into a time machine and go back to the good ol’ days?

When ranking a sales/squeeze page was, shall we say, EASY!

Register Here  -> Rank that Sales/Squeeze Page <-

Don and Jeremy have created a tool that will allow you to “swap out” a sales or squeeze page for ANY WordPress site that you have online.

So, instead of your visitors seeing the keyword stuffed content that you have to put up so the search engines will rank your site, EACH and EVERY visitor to your site will see the sales page or Squeeze page of your choice.

There is no doubt that this is powerful stuff, and in all honesty, there isn’t another piece of technology like this on the net right now, but Don and Jeremy have agreed to do a webinar showing you exactly how it works, why it works, and give you the whole run down.

Unfortunately though, only 1000 people can get on the call live, so you’re going to have to register now to make sure your spot is safe and secure.

Register Here  -> Rank that Sales/Squeeze Page <-

P.S. I wasn’t joking when I said that there isn’t another piece of technology like this, so it’s important that you register, so you aren’t left in the dust when your competitors get their hands on this killer plugin.

P.P.S.

I understand time constraints and other commitments that would keep you from the live event. There should be a replay of this event up within a day. But, upon occasion, the live event comes with extras, bonuses and the like that you may not get during the replay. I don’t know if that’s the case with this event.

However, money likes speed and getting this plug-in, implementing it and getting super results is in your best interest!

I own it, it works!

Register Here  -> Rank that Sales/Squeeze Page <-

This sounds pretty easy, but for most people getting started making a product can be a challenge…

Enter Mike Cowles.

Mike has over 30 successful products and has product creation down to a science. If you’ve been online at all, you probably already have a few of his products. Tomorrow at 8:00pm EDT, he’s gonna be not only teaching you how to do product creation with PLR, he’s actually going to put one together on the call and set up an affiliate program LIVE on the call!

One of Mike’s signatures is over delivering, and this webinar will be no exception.

I’ve been hacked – a lot!

And, quite frankly, it’s all my fault for not educating myself to take the necessary precautions to keep these blog hacks from happening in the first place.

Consequently, I’ve found someone (an authority on the subject) who is offering a free online digital course explaining exactly what to do to keep your (and my) blogs secure.

Yes, there is always a catch with anything free. If you want a copy of the course on DVD, you’ll need to pay for it. Otherwise the online digital format is absolutely free!

This should go without saying, whatever niche one is involved in or
decides to involve oneself in, QUALITY CONTENT is a prerequisite!

Once one decides to solve a problem with QUALITY CONTENT, the
next step is driving traffic to the excellent solution.

Driving traffic to a solution is, in and of itself, a problem that
many people are having a tough time doing.

Traffic Dashboard by Kim Roach is a series of traffic generation
training modules presented in video format with an accompanying PDF
(Portable Document Format) file.

I first heard of Kim Roach within the War Room of the Warrior Forum
(a forum that you should definitely belong to). She was passing out a
PDF entitled “Underground Traffic Black Book”.

*Now available to the public ->  Underground Traffic Black Book *

The book is exceptional and showed Kim’s expertise in traffic generation.

Kim’s Traffic Dashboard closely follows the table of contents of her
book – in video format with additional PDF files.

The only 2 places that I know of that you can pick this book up is
either the War Room of the Warrior Forum or Dennis Becker’s
Earn1KaDay forum.

The reason I say this is because at the time of this writing 11/27/2010,
Both the Warrior Forum and Dennis Becker’s Earn1KaDay forum are more
costly to join then the cost of this video training.

Why did I strike through the last 2 paragraphs?

Because that book, the Underground Traffic Black Book, is now
available to the public.

Go here -> Underground Traffic Black Book  <-

I am in the process of going through this training myself and Kim’s
teaching style is, in my opinion, excellent and she is teaching stuff
that would have taken me years to find out for myself.

You owe it to yourself to click on the image below and, at the very least,
watch her introductory video.

The video’s link is my affiliate link. I have no compunction whatsoever
about promoting this and earning a commission.

What the heck does that mean? You might be thinking that
this is an astrology course. Nothing could be further from the truth!

This article is not going to show you how to “wish” on a star for you
to achieve your heart’s desire. This is about a simple strategy to get you
into profit with your online endeavors as an affiliate marketer.

First things first, I’m going to assume that you are reading this article
because you have a basic knowledge of the words that people use in reference
to that all inclusive business niche – how to make money while online,
you’ve done a search for affiliate marketing and found that headline interesting.

Yes? In all liklihood that’s how you’ve arrived here.

Therefore, I don’t feel the need to go into a lengthy explanation of
what is affiliate marketing. Suffice it to say that there are basically
three ways to make money while online (many tactics and strategies but,
basically – three ways).

Those three ways are, selling other peoples products and/or services (affiliate marketing),
sell your own stuff or sell ad space on your digital real estate (your websites).

The vast majority of people that are looking at the Internet as an income generation
tool (the Internet is different things to different people. If your mindset is
to make money while online, then that’s what it is – a tool) begin their journey
by promoting other people’s products and/or services (again, affiliate marketing).

Now, in order to have a profitable affiliate marketing campaign, one absolutely
needs to hook up to a star!

What is a star? A person and/or company that has an in need or in demand product
and/or service, that sells well for a good price, that has an excellent affiliate program
with the requisite affiliate tools, that pays a good commission, that has excellent
customer service, that said person/company has mastered the art of targeting consumers
of said product/service and that,above all, can put out quality content on a regular
basis to their product/service leads and customers.

Amongst affiliates for star people/companies like this, the competition is fierce and, more
often than not, very hard to crack into considerable commissions.

O.K., what does one do? Hook up to an up and coming star. This is not without risk. Kind of
like researching beginning trends, hooking onto one, hoping that it isn’t a passing fad and
that it has long term profitability.

Visit forums, subscribe to newsletters, comment on blogs, ask established marketers who they
recommend. It takes time, attention and a bit of luck but it can be done.

May I make a recommedation? Take the “luck” out of the equation? Follow me.

 //// By Marlon Sanders \\\\

There are 6 basic ways to get dough online:

1. Promote affiliate products

2. Google adsense

3. Sell a service

4. Sell advertising

5. Sell physical products (think ebay)

6. Sell information

You’ll notice that the last 4 all involve selling something. That’s the approach I wanna talk to you about today.

I did a survey with my Milcers and Alist members. I found out that most of them are still stuck to a degree in getting things going.

I want to give you an abbreviated action plan that I spend 100 pages elaborating on in “Gimme My Money Now” and that the icons walk you through in “The Marketing Dashboard”.

There are MANY Formulas out there. Here’s the Marlon Sanders Formula in a nutshell. So many of you have written and said, “I need a Formula. I need step-by-step.” This is the big picture:

1. Find demand

2. Write sales letter

3. Create info product to meet demand

4. Roll out with affiliate program

That whole formula is elaborated on in much greater depth in both Amazing Formula and Gimme My Money Now.

Here’s what I found out from my survey. Most of you guys and gals have jobs that you want to escape from. You have bills and debts to pay.

And most of you are coming into this without a lot of prior knowledge of marketing and some of you have limited computer skills.

Based on that, do you think it’s safe for me to say it’s unrealistic to think you’re going to quickly and easily become a zillionaire? Well, it’s true. If you have no background in sales and marketing, and you don’t have very good computer skills, you have a learning curve ahead of you and that takes time.

HERE’S HOW I PERSONALLY DID IT

I remember when I was broke and bought deodorant with all pennies. But what I did was kept learning and didn’t expect easy nor overnight results.

I kept buying books when I could afford them. There were no cheap and easy ebooks back then. I could have done it 10 times faster if I had access to all the information available today.

Anyway, my way out was self education. And action. I kept doing little projects to put what I learned into ACTION.

I ran this one little business where you sold booklets using answering machines. You didn’t have voice mail then. So I had 3 answering machines hooked up in my home (my friends hated it).

I ran these little ads in what we call in the U.S. “penny shoppers.” These are little papers given away for free that are all classified ads.

I ended up running ads in 72 cities! And people would leave their name and address on the answering machines. I shipped the books C.O.D. Half the books came back. It was sorta like paying out 50% affiliate commissions.

You didn’t have Paypal or easy merchant accounts in those days. So you had to do C.O.D. I sold $12,000 of books via “mail order.” And I was exhilerated to do so. I think at the end of the day I probably LOST money.

But I sure learned a lot.

Then AOL and CompuServe came along and I started writing sales letters and running ads on there. You’d run a little classified ad (they were free on AOL). People would email you.

Since autoresponders didn’t exist, you’d personally email them back your “free report.” Since there weren’t any PDF’s then (at least, that I knew of), the free report was a long email.

The “big trick” my friend Jonathan Mizel taught back then was to put their name in the return email! That was a big secret back then.

Mizel, me, others all learned copywriting from Tested Advertising Methods by John Caples. That was like one of 4 or 5 books on copywriting. But you know what? We wrote some pretty good sales letters back then. I first met Jonathan Mizel ’cause he sent me one of his sales letters, and I thought it was good. So I wrote and asked him where he learned to write copy.

Of course, he said “Tested Advertising Methods” by John Caples. So we were immediate friends.

AOL was great. You could test out your little ads, emails and sales letters. I don’t even think in those days we sent out follow up emails.

As far as I know, my friend the late Corey Rudl created the demand for autoresponders when he wrote about how he brought in all this money by automatically emailing buyers 4 days later.

It was only after that someone was smart enough to create an autoresponder. Corey’s stuff was hand coded. Gosh, I miss Corey. And I reckon you’ve been in this business a long time when you see your friends move on to the next great adventure.

Somewhere in this timeline (it all escapes me), I had a little retail store selling self help books and tapes. The first thing newbies think to sell online is either diet stuff or self help.

Man, self help is a tough sell. Both Dan Kennedy and I had self development stores. And we both lost bux on ‘em. But I did have the chance to write and send out a few sales letters. And since I often didn’t have the money to print and mail letters, I’d call ‘em on the phone.

I found out that just by calling people, I could say ANYTHING and I’d STILL get a lot of people coming in for the next 3 weeks.

That’s the power of staying in contact with your customers.

Anyway, I could go on with this story. I’ve told the rest of it in bits and pieces in different places.

What are you supposed to get out of this?

Dan Kennedy I think had a path kinda like mine. And what he said once is profound. He said, “I became an overnight success after 20 years of effort.”

Now, I’m NOT saying you need 20 years of effort. You don’t. But neither is 20 minutes a week gonna do much for ya.

Most of the people I’ve seen make it in this business do so after trying things that didn’t work. And they kept on trying. And sooner or later, somethin’ clicked.

I think I shoulda called this article, “Sooner or Later, Something Clicked.”

So you got a job that sucks. You got bills that are stacked up. Hopefully you can buy deodorant with something other than pennies like me in the old days.

So what do YOU do?

My friend, I’d personally tell ya to do what I did. Fall in love with the process more than the immediate fixation of “I gotta make this work now or the whole thing is a scam.”

What you’re learning is marketing.

And that’ll benefit you your whole life. It can help you get your son or daughter or friend a job. It can help you raise money for your Church or charity. It can help you promote an idea whose time has come.

See, a LOT of people say, “I feel like I’ve just wasted my #*$&* money on stuff.”

I my response is, “Then you don’t understand what you’re learning. No wonder things haven’t clicked for you yet.”

See, this isn’t about gimmicks. It isn’t about you figuring out how to trick people into buying with magic words. It isn’t about fooling the search engines into stickin’ your stuff at the top. If you do this business the way I teach it, it’s about learning marketing. And yeah, I said the dirty 5-letter word — LEARN. You can paint it up. You can put perfume on it. You can sell the sizzle not the steak.

But my friend, what you’re doin’ is learning. And like my friend Jim Edwards says, “That isn’t something you microwave.”

“So Marlon, tell me how long this is gonna take and how much I’m gonna make when I’m done?”

Rule 1: People learn at different rates, so no one knows.

Rule 2: You’ll never be done.

Rule 3: It depends on what you sell, who you sell to, how much you charge, what your margin is and how often they buy.

Some people like Russ Brunson get in this business, do it part time between classes in college and go great guns with it. Russ was one of my top affiliates. But he figured out this business so quickly, before I knew it he had his own line of highly successful products. More power to him!

Others are like me and take like 10 or 20 years to learn it. What’s average? Average is not doing anything, therefore not learning anything, therefore the bills pile higher and the job gets tougher.

“Well, if you can’t tell me how much I’m gonna make, how long it’s gonna take and how much it’s gonna cost me, then I think this whole thing is a scam.”

To say that is to say you believe marketing is a scam. Because at least the way I teach it, that’s what you’re learning.

What’s my advice?

Think of the best info product idea you know how to come up with. Interview some experts and record it. Or have a friend interview you. Do a little 3-hour product, write a sales letter for it. And see if anyone buys.

If they don’t buy, guess what? You asked the market a question and the market answered.

You asked the market, “Do you want to buy this?” And the market responded, “No, not in the way you’re presenting it to me.”

Your choice is to present it differently or do another product. Along the way hopefully you learn some things about how to find out what people want, how to get ‘em to buy, how to fulfill products, write letters, create sales pages and so forth.

Honestly, in the DOING, you’ll learn a lot more than you’ll ever learn in the reading. You ask. The market answers. You learn along the way.

But if you’re a spectator and you never get in the game, I can guarantee you one rock solid thing: You’ll never win the game if you aren’t in it.

This is a great business. It isn’t for everyone. It sure isn’t a way to become a zillionaire overnight. Maybe after 5, 10 or 20 years you hit that zillion and you’re the next John Reese or Jeff Walker.

I don’t think everyone should be in this business. If you don’t wanna figure anything out yourself, if you don’t wanna learn how to solve problems, if you don’t wanna learn more things about html and the computer than you really wanna know, if you can’t tolerate risk, if you need your first attempt to be a success, or even your first 3 or 4, then I don’t know, if you can’t afford to spend money on learning and education, if you can’t afford to try things that don’t work, if you think it should all be simple and easy, I don’t know if this industry is for you.

A lot of people get seduced by the lure of ez dough. The promises of zillions without learning. Just connect the dots and you too can be John Reese, Marlon Sanders or whoever you wanna choose.

Here’s the deal: People WILL sell you a turnkey system to escape your job, make zillions or whatever. They’ll give you the fish. I want to teach you TO FISH.

I have a strong belief that unless you buy a franchise, in most cases your going to better off learning marketing than “buying a fish.” There are exceptions. But more often than not, buying a fish doesn’t serve you well.

Some of my friends would disagree with that premise. I happen to have a strong conviction that you are better off learning marketing. My friends are RIGHT in that people DO want to buy the fish versus learn how to catch it. So oftentimes, you’re best off selling a “fish” product.

But everybody has their perspectives. And for me, my criteria for buying a product: If whatever “IT” is doesn’t “pan out” for you, are you STILL better off from having spent money on it? Will it continue to benefit you, your family or your friends in the future?

If the answer is NO, then think twice before spending your money.

You have a job you wanna escape, bills to pay off, retirement to prepare for. Or special needs like a sick loved one. Or a sickness yourself.

I can’t promise you ez zillions. There’s no integrity in that.

I can’t promise you 6 figures a year ez as pie.

What I CAN promise you is that selling products works. It’s no scam. People been doin’ it for thousands of years.

I can promise you that marketing works. Always has. Always will.

I can promise you that money and time spent learning marketing can pay off in many ways.

I can promise you that if you find demand, meet it with products and well-executed promotions, and you do that over time, those bills will likely fade away.

I can promise you that everybody on the Net selling you this or that “dough making system” ALL have 1 thing in common — THEY are selling you a product, service or seminar.

They have a target market.

They have an intro offer.

They have a back end.

I believe in paying more attention to what people DO than what they SAY.

People get all confused what to DO. And there’s a new system invented every day that’s the next big thing. Thank God. I love commerce.

But to remove the confusion, understand this:

They all may disagree on HOW you make money. But one thing is certain: They’re making bux selling a product to a target market — YOU!

Go and do thou likewise.

I remember back then. When I bought deodorant with all pennies.

I remember the date I had with a model in a car that smoked like a bomb.

And to me, there’s no confusion. It’s all crystal. It’s all simple. Take away the smoke. Take away the mirrors.

You need a product. You need people who want it with the money to buy it. You need some great promo out there.

There’s only ONE method people having using to pay their bills and quit their jobs for the past 1,000 years –

Selling products and services to a target market with a great sales pitch that presents benefits and solves problems.

I know you want more details on how. How do you find target markets? How do you identify demand? How, how, how.

I have provided a lot of those answers in the Milcer’s newsletters, Amazing Formula, Gimme My Money, Action Grid.

You wanna quit that job? You wanna liquidate that debt? I don’t have an ez zillion for you. But I do have a crystal clear answer.

Find a group of people. Find out what they need and want. Meet those wants with a product. Provide great service.

And who knows. Maybe. Someday. If the stars shine down on you, you’ll hit that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
