I’m sure by now, you’ve either encountered a website scam yourself or know of a “friend” that fell into the trap of those very convincing internet scams. Well, I just finished up a chapter on website flipping scams in the updated version of Flip-That-Site, and I know that not every one of our readers can afford our products and eventually just try to do website flipping on their own – only to run into more problems. So, I decided that I would share the resources I found that I felt all of our readers should have to protect themselves when buying and selling websites on the internet.

As with any business sale you’re going to want to protect yourself in the process.  We highly suggest contacting a lawyer to draw up your contracts to protect not only yourself but also your buyer (We have to say this – “we are not lawyers and can not give you legal advice.”) Here’s a list of contracts you’ll want to have on hand as a website flipper.

1. Website Sales Agreement http://www.findlegalforms.com/product/website-sales-agreement/
   This is a contract that you would use when you sell a website. Having this agreement (prepared by an attorney) will help you protect yourself and your rights when selling a website. (You could substitute this agreement with a Bill of Sale Agreement – this one is just more specific to the details of a website).
2. Asset Purchase Agreements & Sale of Business
   http://www.findlegalforms.com/forms/sale-of-business-forms/
   Business documents, legal forms, and legal agreements used when starting, operating, buying or selling a business for use in all states.
3. Non-Compete Agreement
   http://www.findlegalforms.com/forms/non-compete/
   You may want to use this document when selling a high end site so that the previous owner doesn’t start up a duplicate site and compete against you after you purchased their site from them.
4. Domain Name Sales Agreement
   http://www.findlegalforms.com/product/domain-name-sales-agreement/
   A contract for the sale of a Domain name. Having this agreement (prepared by an attorney) will help you protect yourelf and your rights when selling a website.
5. Domain Name Assignment
   http://www.findlegalforms.com/product/domain-name-assignment/
   With this document you will transfer your rights as the domain owner to another party (the new owner).
6. Website Design Agreement
   http://www.findlegalforms.com/forms/website-design-agreement/
   This contract provides the basic conditions, project parameters, consultation, updates, treatment of confidential information, the terms of payment for the designer’s services to the client and much more. It clarifies copyright ownership, liabilities and expectations of the parties.
7. Website Maintenance Agreement
   http://www.findlegalforms.com/forms/website-maintenance-service-agreement/
   Provides the basic conditions of employment, service parameters, consultation, treatment of confidential information, the terms of payment for the consultant’s services to the client and much more. It clarifies copyright ownership, liabilities and expectations of the parties.
8. Business Plans Business Plan Kits and Forms
   http://www.findlegalforms.com/forms/business-plans/
   If you’re looking to get any investors in on a business deal with you – a business plan is a must. This legal form kit provides the tools, guidelines and forms for developing and writing your company’s Business Plan.
9. Intellectual Property
   http://www.findlegalforms.com/forms/intellectual-property/
   The internet has made it increasingly easy to duplicate another persons business. One way you have to protect yourself is through your internet property. We suggest reading through these intellectual property agreements, including intellectual property rights forms, reprint permission forms and intellectual property release forms, for all states.

Though you may not need all forms at one time I highly suggest at a minimum the Website Sales Agreement, Domain Name Sales Agreement, and a Non-Compete Agreement (if you’re moving into a niche and don’t want the chance of the seller starting up a competing site against you for your protection.

As my story goes, I sucked at making money online until I found a website marketplace. Which is when I started selling my “failures” to others who knew what to do with them.

Eventually it started getting called Website Flipping and our seniority on the topic has made us the foremost experts on the subject.

Our most often asked question  is where do you sell your websites, so we thought it would make a good blog post. Plus now we can have just one link to send people to when they ask.

If you want to buy an Internet business, then any of these marketplaces would be great research points…

Top Three Website Marketplaces (Must Use)

Flippa.com

Used to be the Sitepoint Marketplace but is now Flippa.com – This is currently the #1 most active marketplace. Although, lots of controversy over switching names and drastic price increases have lead to a slow and steady decline in activity and listing quality. To their credit they are still seeing hundreds of thousands of dollars changing hands each week. I’ve sold websites for as much as $40,000 in this marketplace.

WebsitePush.com

The new cowboy in town! I use the term cowboy because they have come out with guns a blazin’ – I’ve spoken with the founders of this site and they are working 14 hours a day improving their marketplace and driving traffic. Right now they are the least expensive option while still having a good chance at selling your site.

WarriorForum.com (WSO Area)

This is the highest traffic place to sell your site and I recently sold one for $7,500 in this marketplace. This one has worked very well for me in the past and just about any website valued at $200 or higher will work. This one will cost you $20 for the listing and you will need to meet some basic forum posting requirements before being able to list.

These Should Be Mentioned Too…

WebsiteBroker.com

This site get’s some decent activity but their listings are expensive compared to how much more activity the top 3 marketplaces are getting. They have some great resources for website flippers and website buyers as well. If you’re selling a site for more than $1,000 and not listing it here you are making a mistake. This marketplace owns the #1 rankings in Google for almost every website for sale keyword you can think of which means buyers passing through from search traffic.

Webmaster-Talk.com

Ton’s of traffic plus it’s FREE! However, your listings are mostly auction style here and there is no real “BIN” (Buy It Now) button like in other marketplaces. Yes it get’s lots of traffic but it’s website sales area is lacking and action is low – Good thing it’s still free! Did we mention this one is free?

WebsiteAuctionHub.com

I have used this one successfully in the past, but it’s no where near the top three in successful sales. It’s much better for either really low priced sites or websites that are already earning a monthly income of $1,000 or more. Mid-level sites for a couple hundred dollars with no revenue rarely sell here.

BuySellWebsite.com

This one is not good for selling websites that are not already making money. However, most of the sellers in here are way overpricing their websites so if you have a site already making money and charge 7x to 10x monthly revenue you should be able to outsell the competing listings.

“All It Takes Is Action And Action Builds Confidence”

“My buddy John tried PPC and lost $1,000 overnight and made no money…”

“PPC works but if you make one little mistake it can cost you a fortune…”

“Using Google Adwords is like attaching a vacuum to your bank account…”

These are the horror stories I hear people mentioning when PPC is talked about in the marketing/webmaster forums. Which kind of weirds me out because PPC is one of my favorite ways to spend money.

Like I would literally prefer to spend money on PPC over buying some new fun “man toy” or tech gadget.

So I got to thinking… carefully so I didn’t hurt myself

Why do my friends and I love PPC soooooo much but this other huge section of the IM world runs screaming the other direction?

Who’s Making PPC So Scary?

Well, my favorite and everyone’s favorite group to point a finger at is the “Guru’s!”

And they are partly at fault with their  ridiculous “You can make $50,000 a day with PPC… Just set your daily budget to $500/day… And bid on this ultra tough keyword”

Uhmmm… If I had $500/day when I first started using PPC, I WOULDN’T HAVE NEEDED TO USE PPC!

Most of us when we are just starting out online are fantasizing about $100/day or even just our FIRST SALE. To be told to have a $500/day budget on PPC is just straight up redonkulous.

So yes, some of the reason why rookies are so scared of PPC is because there is just some REALLY BAD courses for sale on the topic.

1-800-Sav-A-Guru

To their defense they really aren’t trying to target the “rookie” with their salesletters. Some of them definitely are and should be tarred and feathered. However, the good guys who are selling courses about PPC are targetting established business owners who want to learn and exploit a new marketing channel.

It’s kind of like the Dolphins that get caught up in the Tuna nets. The Tuna guys aren’t trying to catch the Dolphins but they get caught up in the dragnet.

AGAIN… Some guys are evil and purposely say things like “even a beginner” can do it. But a lot of the time it’s just the rookie seeing the big numbers and chasing a dream. Shame on the irresponsible guru and shame on the unrealistic rookie.

Who Else Is At Fault?

Dare I say it… GOOGLE!

OMG now I’m going to have my house broken into by the Google samurai ninja hitmen in the middle of the night… It was nice knowing you!

It’s true though and you really can’t blame them or be mad at them. They are running a business and Adwords is their biggest profit center. Sure they are going to teach you how to use it, even for free. However, you better bet your ass that they are going to teach you how to spend the most money in the quickest way possible!

Mr. Goog surely ain’t going to tell you to put up a $2/day budget cap, target only 3-5 keywords, and put the price of your product in your ad.

Because if they told everyone that then they wouldn’t be so dang rich!

However, I CAN TELL YOU THAT because I don’t have a vested interest in how much you spend. My vested interest is that your PUT DOLLARS IN YOUR POCKET.

Because when I teach you something and you make some money off of it then you’re prolly going to buy something off me, tell someone about me, or even just think I’m a pretty cool guy. That’s my secret, the bag is out of the cat… ermmm… maybe it’s the cat is out of the bag?

7 Steps To Making PPC Work For You

1. Set a super low daily budget that you can afford. I started out with just $2/day and you can go even lower than that if you want.
2. Research the cost of keywords before you make your campaigns so you can start with just the cheapest ones and work your way up AFTER YOUR MAKING SALES!
3. Don’t try to get lots of traffic… Traffic sucks… Sales is what you want… LOTS OF SALES! So put the price of your product or the product you are promoting in your ad. This will slow down the clicks and make sure people that DO CLICK are already ok with the price.
4. Target only product names – People are 10x more likely to buy something when they are typing in the actual name of a product or model #
5. Don’t use lots of keywords – Start out with just a handful that you can manage and that are cost effective.
6. Don’t target the whole world with your ads. When I start a campaign I target just the U.S. to start out with and then when I see things working I slowly start adding more countries while watching my stats closely.
7. TURN OFF THE CONTENT NETWORK – Don’t even think or say the words Content Network until AFTER you have a couple profitable normal campaigns.

What My Math Teacher Taught Me About PPC

Regardless of the cost of your keywords or how awesome your keyword is there is still a general conversion rate to worry about.

WHOA… What?

Ok so a good salesletter will convert 1 out of every 30 – 50 clicks into a sale…

If you are paying $0.50 per click and need 30 clicks to get a sale that’s $15…

And if you only make $20 per sale then well that kinda sucks but at least that situation made you money…

What if you had to pay $1.00 per click… Now you lost money!

So when you target cheaper keywords like ones that cost you only $0.05 – $0.25 it means you can afford more clicks to make it to that sale. Sure that awesome keyword your buddy told you about might get lots of traffic but it might be too expensive.

Give yourself a fighting chance and research your keywords costs first!

If you listen… If you DO what I’ve said in this blog post then you can effectively put training wheels on your PPC marketing until you’ve found your balance and can start scaling out. As with anything I talk about on this blog it just doesn’t work if you just read it.

All it takes is action and action builds confidence!

As always I’ll hang out and watch the comments on this post for a few days. If you have questions, concerns, want to chit chat, or just want to thank me you can do so by leaving a comment below. I read them all and try to answer any of them that need an answer.

This week in our live 20 Minute Tackle show we covered how to drive web visitors to your websites for free. Watch the video below to learn how we do it…

Last night we did our usual Tuesday’s Twenty Minute Tackle live show, and I talked about one simple principal that if followed will bring success to your business no matter what industry you are in.

This little golden nugget work for CPA, Affiliate marketing, website flipping, info products, Adsense, offline, and anywhere else where you are selling something to an end user. Heck it even works in video game worlds!

Without further ado, here is the video where we explain the simple stratagem as well as answer lots of questions from the audience about making money online…

The method is simple, no matter what you want to sell you first have to know who you are selling too. Then you need to know whether they want what you are selling. If they do then you simple offer it at a fair price.

As it was taught to me years ago by Travis Sago, who said 1.) Find a type of fish you want to catch 2.) find out what type of bait that type of fish likes 3.) Put that bait on a hook and show it to that type of fish.

His metaphor basically meant that first you need to find a group of people. Meaning a niche market, then you need to find out what those people DESPERATELY WANT. Not what they need, not what they MIGHT want… But what they are desperate for… What has their hair on fire and what will put that fire out?

Once you find that, then you simply tell those people where to get it. Maybe you’re doing that with PPC ads or maybe through listbuilding or maybe you have your own clickbank product. Either way the lesson remains the same and if you apply it to everything you do in your marketing then you will always win.

As usual, this tip means nothing if all you do is read it. To turn this tip into dollars in your pocket you have to take action and action, no matter how big or small, builds confidence for more action.

P.S. If you have questions or your own tips, please feel free to leave them as a comment below. I always read my comment and try to reply to most.

Long time friend of mine, Amir Darwish, created a very popular PPC software called Xtreme Conversions. For years it was the only tool of it’s kind and still is a mandatory tool for anyone serious about PPC.

However, we’re not talking about that today. Today he’s given me his PPC Blueprint report to share with all my readers as well as some case studies of his famous PPC methods.

I started using PPC with just $2 per day and it changed my financial life forever. Quickly read and watch Amir’s stuff and then DO what he’s teaching. You’ll thank me later for showing you Amir’s methods.

You can’t turn on the news today without hearing “the sky is falling” from your local newscaster talking about the state of the American economy.

Things are in the shitter!

But some of us are doing something about it and I’m hoping you’ll join us. The leader in this movement is Dave “World Changer” Lakhani.

What Dave is doing is one of the most noble things any of my friends are doing right now in fact probably the most noble thing anyone I’ve ever been able to call a friend has EVER done.

And what he’s saying is true, we can’t expect the government to fix us. We can’t sit back and wait for them. WE built this nation, WE built the government, WE need to fix our economy and WE can do it if we become a WE and not a bunch of “I’s.”

It doesn’t matter if you can’t donate a lot of money. You can help with a single blog post. You can help by re-tweeting this blog post. Digg, Stumble, Tell your friends, volunteer your time, ANYTHING.

In the next 3 days I will drive over 2,000 people to this website. If we all could give what’s equal to one hour of our time to Dave’s movement then that would be 2,000 hours of assistance.

Imagine if we had 2,000 tweets about this…

Imagine if we had 2,000 Diggs…

Imagine if we had 2,000 people email 5 of their friends about this…

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Dave on a business level and a personal level. We’ve eaten some of the worlds spiciest chicken wings together at Buffalo Wild Wings. We’ve debated UFC matches during pay per view fight nights at my house, and we’ve masterminded together about ways we can help more people that are living in these tent cities.

There are no hidden agenda’s, Dave just simply understands the basic human rule of giving to others and good things will be given to you in return.

There are not enough people in Dave’s position using their elite marketing powers for such great causes. I feel we should reward Dave for that, but what’s more important is that we reward those people living in the tent cities.

They are not traditional homeless people, they are our neighbors, cousins, and uncles. People that were trying their hardest to make things work but their worlds were turned upside down by the company they were working for going under or an injury.

I’m contributing by helping Dave build a video resume website for each tent city across America. Dave is leaving behind cameras for them to make video resumes and they’ll be posted on these websites for the world to see who these people are and how they can hire them.

Some of the guys in these tent cities are masters at their trade and willing to bust their butts for a job. Anyhow, I just had to post this on my blog to do my part in telling everyone I can about Dave’s movement.

I hope you’ll do what you can in your own way also…

If you have any questions, ideas, or contributions you can make then please tell us in a comment below.

The thing I love most about website flipping is there are SOOO many ways to do it. I can literally find a “style” for anyone that will put dollars in pockets – if they take action!

One of the fastest ways to flip a 5 figure website aka sell a website for over $10,000 is to use CPV traffic and CPA ads on your websites.

Before we go any further you’ll need to be a member of a CPA network. For example, NeverBlueAds, COPEAC, ClickBooth, AzoogleAds. If you’re having trouble getting accepted to CPA networks then read this http://sitefling.com/getaccepted.html (affiliate link)

Normally, I don’t promote Clickbank products but this one promised 100% acceptance and that’s huge for anyone who’s ever tried. I talked with the owner of that course and I know the owner of the CPA network they are getting people accepted too… It’s all 100% legit and get’s my full endorsement because of it.

Just getting accepted is worth hundreds of dollars in my eyes because getting “IN” is the hard part. Once you are a member there are tons of methods and gobs of information about how to use them.

If you’re already accepted into some CPA networks then keep reading…

************************************************
WARNING: This Method Isn’t For The Timid!!!
************************************************

One of the hottest CPA marketing techniques is to build a salesletter that looks like a blog. It still has all the important elements in the same places like headline, personal triumph story, proof, testimonials, call to action, and answers to frequently asked questions.

See the whole site at kevinsmoneyblog.com

It’s been said that the best advertisements are those that don’t look like an advertisement. Which is exactly why these type of blogs work so well. There are sites like these in the make money online, weight loss, teeth whitening, and other niches.

They work REALLY REALLY well at converting cold traffic, meaning people who have never met you before and found your site through some search engine or advertisement.

How To Make The Sites

All of them have the same attributes like having someones name in the domain followed by the topic followed by the word blog. For example: justinstomatoblog.com

On the page they tell a story and show lots of proof about how they accomplished success in their topic and then they drop a link to the CPA offers that helped them. Are the stories real? I don’t know

Should you go around the net making up fake stories? Hell no!

Russell Brunson, my mentor, made one of these sites from my story talking about my success. He didn’t need to lie to make his and it’s just as effective.

You can have one of these sites built for you pretty easily for about $50 – $150 on Scriptlance.com, just make sure to provide links to a couple examples. KevinsMoneyBlog.com, Keiths-Workouts.com, EmilysTeeth.com

Or you can buy Zero Friction Marketing through my link http://sitefling.com/getaccepted.html and I’ll give you the template I had my designer build. Do it that way and you’ll get his course, access to the 100% guaranteed acceptance CPA network, and my template.

(It’s a blank template that you can use for any niche over and over again)

How To Drive Traffic To Them

Since these sites are such high converters you can drive almost any type of traffic to them as long as it’s somewhat targeted. For example you won’t want to send a bunch of 12yr old girls to a “Get Six Pack Abs” offer, but you could send just about every male human being on the planet to it!

I’ve covered website traffic strategies to death on this blog already. I talked about where to get paid traffic here and where to get free traffic here.

On of the methods that I don’t think I’ve covered too much is CPV advertising or some of you might call it PPV advertising. It’s a lot like pay per click where you bid small amounts of money per click for people that type in keywords that you specify.

However with CPV advertising its better to target URLS, but you can still target keywords. What happens is these people are part of a network where they are given special content that they asked for… In exachange for that content they agreed to be shown advertisements.

So these people in these networks are shown advertisements whenver they type in certain keywords, phrases, or URLS when they’re on the web.

For example let’s pretend I was one of these guys in the network. I’m surfing around the net and I type in WeightWatchers.com and all of a sudden up pops a full screen version of your weightloss website!

Average costs per view of your website with this traffic method is around $0.04 per view. Using CPV I’ve driven as much as 4,800 visits to my website for less then $200!

Networks I recommend are MediaTraffic.com, CPVMarketplace.com, Adonion.com, and TrafficVance.com but you must have at least $200 to start an account with them. You get to use that money for your account though, they just need funds to get you set up.

Putting It All Together

1.) Talk with one of the affiliate managers they make available to you in your favorite CPA network. Or if you’re not a member of a CPA network then get accepted though here and pick out one of the high converting offers they recommend to you.

2.) Build a salesletter that looks like a blog promoting that offer. If you don’t know how to build them you can pay to have it built for you pretty cheap at Scriptlance.com or you can have my template.

3.) Drive traffic to your page either with paid methods or free methods and you might try out some CPV advertising to speed up your results.

4.) Once the site is making a little bit of cash you can sell it for several hundred to a couple thousand dollars by listing it on Flippa.com, WebmasterMarketplace.com, or SiteDeal.org
(Multiply the sites monthly income x7 to get your sale price)

If you need further assistance with this method we teach stuff like this in our 21 Week Coaching Program. Feel free to ask as many questions as you want in the comments below though. I’ll watch this post for the next couple weeks just to make sure I answer all your questions.

Remember, new things might look intimidating and the doubt monster is always whispering in our ears. However, all it takes is action and action builds confidence!

Most or all of you who read my bloggy wog here know that I’m an avid Twitter user. By the way if you’re not, then I think your nuts. It’s one of my LARGEST traffic drivers and scores me the biggest deals/partnerships I’ve ever landed in my life.

Man up and start twittering!

If you ALREADY are using Twitter then no doubt you’ve seen the “Auto DM’s.” Those direct messages you get from people immediately or sometimes a little while after following someone.

You did know those are fake right… well 90% of them are anyways.

The worst ones are the super uber spammy “Get a buhzillion twitter followers by clicking here.” Then you have the less spammy “Hi, thanks for the follow. It’s so nice to meet you and I hope we become friends.”

Finally you have the guys who KNOW everyone hates auto dm’s but tries to “do it better then everyone else” by putting up a message with some humor or with some personal story.

Which reminds me of the biggest lesson I ever learned about marketing on the Interwebs… NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU! They care about the sinus headache they have and how to fix it fast. Or they care about the forclosure looming over their heads and how they can fix it fast.

People are on the web to solve something for themselves. On Twitter it’s usualy to communicate with friends or build relationships. Worst thing you can do to build a relationship is to make your first step a FAKE ONE!

By the way WE ALL KNOW IT’S FAKE! You’re not tricking us, even with you’re really clever message!

If you want to do it the right way then hire an overseas assistant to watch for new follows, find something unique about that person, and send a quick personal @ message NOT A DM! You can get this done for about $50 per week with a part timer.

DM’s are supposed to be “private messages” from friends and personal acquaintances. That’s what’s so annoying about auto dm’s is that they clog up your box with fake sheeit and then you start ignoring it and then you can’t even use it for your friends because you’re ignoring it!

I realize I’m trying to move a mountain by just yelling at it with this post. However, I know how we can REALLY get rid of auto dm’s…

Make them non-effective!

The reason people use them is to some degree they are effective (unfortunately it is easy to prey on the newbies and some people are in spots where they have too in order to make money). I don’t like it, I don’t condone it, but I do know that they can be effective in the right situations.

However, to the other 70% – 80% of the world you look like a dueche bag!

The way to make them non-effective is for you to tell everyone you know about these 5 resources. Then tell them to tell everyone they know. With the power of viral marketing we CAN get enough people on our side to render auto dm’s less effective to the point that even the spammers will look for another way.

1. First and foremost you need to go opt-out of the service 90% of these auto dm’ers are using to send their “fake hello’s.” Go here to opt-out http://www.tweetlater.com/optout
2. Start reporting people that auto dm you to this guy http://twitter.com/stopautodm that way at least twitter staff will have one centralized location where they can go to find them all and start killing off their accounts.
3. When someone sends you an auto dm, send them one of these links http://turnthisthingoff.com or http://stopautodm.com – If they’re not one of the robot spam twitter’ers then after getting those links 3 – 5 times they’ll start to get the hint that they are in fact actually a deuche bag!
4. Finally, send your twitter followers to this blog post so they can learn these steps also. Sure that kinda helps me out with some traffic, but this blog post is just yet another tool we all need to stop the auto dm madness. Tweet this blog post, digg this blog post, stumble it, heck go outside and yell the URL to your neighbors if you have to!

LET’S GET OUR DM BOXES BACK IN OUR CONTROL!!!

WOW! Florida is HOT!! We knew it would be, but just didn’t quite believe it. The day after we landed in Florida we all went shopping for a new wardrobe – our Idaho wardrobe just didn’t cut it down here in Florida. One really good thing that’s come from our move is the new time for the Twenty Minute Tackle.

This week we moved to a new time (11pm Eastern) and got a BUNCH of new viewers. We let all of them in on the power of free trials. Here’s the inside scoop…

The other day when I posted that State of the Industry Report a lot of you had questions in the blog comments. I answered them all of course, but they were very important questions that I thought everyone should have the answers too.

Plus, you’ll get to see a sneak peak into my new house in Tampa (Brandon), Florida…

Now that I have finally found the best methods to help the most people, we’ll be talking a lot of about website flipping. However, we won’t just be talking about flipping sites. We’ll be talking about the “what do you do to make a site flippable” stuff like traffic strategies, web business models, increasing conversions, listbuilding, and everything else that makes a websites value go up.

It’s Internet marketing with the purpose of eventually flipping your site for a big pay day at the end. Whether you do it once a week or once a year… It’s still the goal if you are a “siteflinger.”

Before I duck out for the evening I wanna know if I have any siteflingers out there? Is anyone with me in learning and applying high caliber Internet marketing strategies with the goal of eventually cashing out with a big website sale?

For us SiteFling is the whole process of building a website, turning it into a revenue stream, and then flipping it for a big paycheck. We have always been a leading force in the website flipping community and now more then ever.

We want to see website flipping become as big as it is in our hearts in the hearts of everyone across the world. There is no reason why it can’t be as big and as popular as real estate. So from now on, once a month we will be creating a “State Of The Industry Report.”

This report is for all the website flippers to learn the latest statistics, research, and popular news in the industry. We are spearheading this movement and hope we can get your help to spread the word about website flipping as a legit and profitable form of doing business on the Internet.

This is bigger than any of us, bigger than an ebook or a membership site… This is the flag in the ground moment when we say “Website Flipping Is Here To Stay” and rally the world behind the acceptance of a whole new sector of business.

Please enjoy this first edition of the monthly State Of The Industry Report for website flippers!

You must be an action taker and you must be willing to document your success along the way. We’re only doing this so that we can have live people to test our course. We want to make sure our course is already proven when we release it later.

Basically, for the next 30 – 90 days you will be sent video tutorials, interviews, checklists, website scripts, templates, and action plans. These are for you to use the way the course tells you. Then you document your experience along the way and give us feedback.

I’m sorry if it’s gone when you get there, I didn’t know of a better way to pick the beta testers. I did create a waiting list for after the first 3 are picked. If they don’t work out they’ll be kicked out and we’ll fill that spot with someone else from the waiting list.

On our drive down to our new house in Tampa, FL we stopped in Georgia to visit with our friend Joe Lavery. While we were there we put him on our usual Tuesday’s Twenty Minute Tackle show and grilled him about his ultra highly effective Internet sales tactics.

Starting next week we are planning to move the Tuesday Twenty Minute Tackle to 11pm eastern time. Our thinking is that this is when most of us are “working” and it’s after all the meals, kids in bed, and T.V. shows.

Let us know how you feel about that by leaving a comment below. Also, tomorrow (Wednesday July 1st 2009) I am interviewing Sitepoint.com in my first “State Of The Industry Report” for website flippers.

I’ll have the full recording available for you on Thursday!

Just over 30 days ago we launched our SiteFling 30 Day Apprentice Challenge where people could learn how we do what we do step-by-step and the biggest action takers would win a chance to become our apprentices.

Well the results are in and they are amazing! People are making their first sales online, building lists, hosting webinars, and getting traffic at will. Two stars did shine brightest among the group, one even landed over $30,000 in client contracts from our teachings. Here’s the official announcement…

Congratulations to Jason Benfield and Bill Romer for their hard work and dedication. You’ve now got the whole SiteFling team as your partners!

Great job to Chris Jensen and Karoosh (KayVee) for their hard work also. You guys are right there and about to explode. We’re going to get with you 1on1 to try and help point you in the right directions and polish you guys into the Ace’s that you are.

Lastly thank you to Eddie, Maggie, Clint, Yvonne, Eric, and the Robin/Travis team. You guys showed phenomenal effort and we’re going to hold a private mastermind webinar to try and help you guys pinpoint a target and path to lead your rockets down.

Thank you to everyone who participated and I hope you won’t stop just because the 30th day came. Keep going! Stopping now would be like swimming 90% of the English channel only to turn around and swim back.

Anyone who wants to go through the 30 Day Apprentice Challenge is more then welcome. We set it up in a way that no matter when you join you’ll still go through each day’s lessons one at a time just like if you started with everyone else.

The best part is now the forum inside the challenge area is CHOCK FULL of all kinds of extra tips and answers to tons of questions people had. I confidently call this the fastest way to go from newbie to intermediate marketer.

And as you saw in the video Russell Brunson’s offering free pre-loaded MP3 players that have his MicroContinuity course on them. I get a kickback for everyone who buys through my link so I think it’s only fair I give you a kickback also.

If you get a free MP3 player from http://www.microcontinuitysites.com and email me with proof… Then I’ll send you the templates I use to build my MicroContinuity sites. That way you can just copy/paste your header, footer, and content in the right spots and be all setup.

Plus I’ll tell you about the new easier wordpress method that we’re using to build MicroContinuity sites with. If you know how to blog then you can make killer membership sites with this method.

Well thats all the news for today, I’ll be back with more tips and tricks as soon as I can. We’re 3 days away from our big move back to Florida, pretty soon everything will be back to normal again. Can’t wait to have my full office back! (I miss my plush grey crushed velvet chair!)

P.S. Be sure to congratulate Jason, Bill, and the rest of the stars from the 30 day apprentice challenge. they worked their butts off and it’s paid off for them.

Michel Fortin started a really good conversation about whether or not Larry Winget went overboard on his blog about the guy who stole his Facebook username.

The short story is Facebook offered everyone the chance to get a Facebook.com/YourName address for your profile. Lots of people lost their names to other people who had their name and others to slicksters who stole other people’s usernames – And thats the part pissing people off.

This guy who stole Mr. Winget’s username says he did it to try and get Larry’s attention. That he was doing him a favor by holding the name hostage from anyone else and that he thought it was worth a free consultation. Well he sure got Larry’s attention!

However there are better ways to get attention, like ones that won’t make you doosh of the day in the blogosphere. Michel was talking about how you shouldn’t try to get attention at the expense of others. Which I totally agree with, but  I felt a little like “well what is the right way then.”

So I’m going to pick up where Michel left off and elaborate on some ways to get attention without being annoying.

Getting The Attention Of A Potential Mentor

I got my big start online by getting the opportunity to intern with Russell Brunson. What I didn’t do was steal a domain of his and then try to sell it back to him. Instead I contacted him and told him how hard I would work for him.

Then later on when he needed a new VP of marketing for his MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR COMPANY I got his attention again. This time I wrote out all my ideas for how I could help him.

Before I get to the point let me give another example…

I now have Matt Bacak on speed dial and we chat on instant messengers about our sites. Again I didn’t try to extort him or scream over all the others that wanted his attention. I just started promoting his products and sent him case studies of results I got from his methods.

I’ve done it over and over again… Russell Brunson, Dave Lakhani, Matt Bacak, Keith Baxter, and many others. I’ve gotten some of the best mentors in my industry because I put their needs before mine. Instead of asking them to help me, I told them how I would help them. In return for helping them they helped me.

I learned of this first in a book written by Robert Greene called “The 48 Laws Of Power” and I highly suggest reading it. I use the lessons from that book everyday of my life. He talks about the “position of power” and how it’s always changing.

Positions of Power (My Favorite Lesson Of All Time)

In every discussion, conversation, and relationship there is a hidden passing back and forth of power. If you know what to look for and concentrate though you can see where the position has stopped at and bring it back to you.

For example, you want a mentor…

Well the person you want to mentor you has the position of power, you are the one needing it. No one wants to physically give you their “power ball” so you have to earn it from them. If you help that person do something they couldn’t have done with you all of a sudden that position of power is transferred to you.

Now that you have the “power ball” you can pass it back to the mentor by asking them to help you. The other important thing about positions of power is EVERYONE ALWAYS WANTS IT (especially wives! haha jk).

You can get whatever you want when you practice being aware of positions of power and how to gain them.

Getting The Attention Of A Customer

In a competitive market the most basic marketers try yelling louder then everyone else to get their customers attention. However all they are doing is intimidating their customers and once everyone is screaming and shouting the prospect is just annoyed and jaded now.

For example take a look at the history of banner ads. First they were just blocks of text, then they became colorful images, then they made them animated, then blinking, and now today we have full audio inside some banner ads!

Because everyone was screaming and shouting in the banner ads the prospects learned how to tune them out. That’s why the best banner ads today are ones that look nothing like a banner ad.

Instead of giving themselves away by blinking, shouting, and being colorful the best banner ads camouflage themselves as useful information, games, questions, and spots of interactivity. You can learn from these banners too.

If everyone else is using a salesletter… What if you used an article? In fact some of the smartest marketers are now using blogs as salesletters. For example check out http://mywhiteteeth.greatblogsabout.com

The prospect has the position of power. They have the money you want… If you put a salesmen in front of them or the equivalent they’ll hug and squeeze their “power ball” to never let it go. However, the prospect still has some sort of problem maybe it’s yellow teeth, maybe it’s toenail fungus.

If you can camouflage your sales process as a solution like a blog post instead of a salesletter then the customer will walk into your arms. Once you show them you know where the solution to their problem is, then all of a sudden the “power ball” magnetizes itself to you and you earn the position of power.

One last example because this is HIGHLY EFFECTIVE customer getting information is postcard marketing. I’m a fan of it but it’s going down the same path of banner ads on the Internet. Now the postcards are yellow, orange, pink, and red. If you open your mailbox and see a neon pink postcard… Whats your first thought?

SALES CARD! RUN!!! DON’T EVEN LOOK AT IT, JUST THROW IT OUT!

However, if you see a normal sized envelope, handwritten, and addressed to you then it almost certainly gets read. If when you open it you see a newspaper clipping that has a post it note addressed with your name handwritten on it… You’re going to read that newspaper clipping.

It looks like a friend sent you something that you need to see. This kind of marketing is called a tear sheet and there are several companies (LumpyMail.com is the best) that will do it for you in mass, even with the handwritten post it notes.

But That’s Too Complicated/Expensive

All of us inherently know that if we send a gift basket with a personalized DVD video prsentation of our product it’s probably going to work better then a neon pink mass print postcard. However, most of us have the mentality of just doing enough to get by.

You might think well I need the money fast, I don’t have time for all that fancy stuff. Which makes me think of the guy speeding down the road in his car rushing to get to work before he’s late and he gets pulled over by a cop. Sometimes it really is faster and more effective to do things right the first time then to try and cut corners or do the “rush it and pray” method.

So before you think about your next project ask yourself if there might be a more creative way of going about your business. Often times you’ll see much higher results from less work if you just stop and think about how you can be different from everyone else instead of trying to be bigger or louder.

P.S. Four more days of sitting around a house with no furniture and then I can get back to the normal way of doing business. Thanks for hanging in there with me guys! We have some crazy crazy cool stuff planned for you in July once we’re in our new house.

10 days away from our move to Florida and everything is finally almost packed. I can’t wait to get back to the normal swing of things too, I miss being able to blog everyday. I did manage to squeeze in a special treat this week though.

On this week’s Tuesday’s Twenty Minute Tackle episode we interviewed Russell Brunson about his concept of MicroContinuity Sites. Here’s the inside scoop…

Get a copy of Dave’s book at any of these great places…

As most of you know by now, we’re moving back to Florida to be closer to family. I know it’s just an excuse but the “move” has had me so distracted that I can’t seem to get myself in the working mood.

However, today I pulled myself up by my britches and I’ve got a lot of news to share with you. Plus, I want to ask you what you would do if you owned my company… I need your help guys and I reward well!!

Before I get into the fun part of asking you what you would do if you owned my company I want to tell you about a very special episode of our Twenty Minute Tackle show.

Best Selling Author, Dave Lakhani, Stops By

On Tuesday June 9th at 6pm mountain (8pm Eastern) we have a very special guest dropping by our house to answer any questions you have. His name is Dave Lakhani and he is THE GUY when it comes to persuasive arts. Literally, he wrote the book on it as well as several others.

Dave is a best selling author and his books can be found in any local bookstore, Amazon.com, and I believe I’ve even seen a copy in an airport bookstore. He writes and speaks on the topics of sales, coercion, and anything related to persuading someone to do what you want them to do… Like buy your stuff!

I’ve had the pleasure of really getting to know Dave recently. It all started when I went to one of his seminars about becoming a speaker. Since that event I’ve made over $10,000 as a speaker and even landed an international speaking gig. Dave delivers the goods and you won’t want to miss him on our show this Tuesday.

We’ll be talking about his new book called “How To Sell When Nobody’s Buying” and how you can relate what he’s teaching to Internet marketing. If you have any questions about sales, copywriting, or just making more money period… Then please email them to us so he can answer your questions on the show.

What Would You Do If You Owned SiteFling?

This is really important to me and I really need your help here. This literaly has everything to do with you and little to do with me. Let me explain…

I want to make sure that whatever I’m doing whether it be my blog posts, emails, or creating products that it’s the most helpful thing I can be doing for you. So I ask you to really take a minute and think about if you owned my company with all of it’s resources, contacts, and experience…

What kind of product, service, website, anyting would you create that would help you get the most success or entertainment?

Sample Ideas We Had…

• Re-vamping our SiteFling Mafia site into a bunch of 12 week programs that taught various Internet marketing topics like; Copywriting, Traffic Generation, Website Flipping, and Social Media
• Creating an Amazon style directory/review site of PLR and Resale Rights products
• Remaking the 20 best PLR and Resale rights products with professional designs, copy, and even turning them into physical products along with pre-researched marketing manuals for each
• Creating pre-made product funnels including front-ends, upsells, autoresponder series, and backends
• Hosting extreme mastermind groups like a Shark Fishing Mastermind Trip

Think about these examples, plus what you personally need and want. Then let us know in a comment down below what we can do for you that would help the most. If I get at least 25 comments with peoples feedback then I’ll send out a free landing page template kit that I had my designer design for me.
