What Are Your Goals For 2008?

So how has 2007 been for you?

According to my annual review at my dayjob I’ve achieved all of my targets, and even overachieved in a couple of areas, so promotion is on the cards :-) The internet business is also on the up, I now have 2 profitable websites, and generated over $10,000 worth of sales during 2007.

On the family front all the girls in my life are doing well, and we’ve got another baby due in May, so overall life is looking good. Now although I’ve achieved a lot of things, my goal of getting rid of all my debt caused by an adventerous and mispent youth has not be achieved.

Technically this means that I’ve not achieved my 2007 goal, so I need to include this in my 2008 goals.

This brings me to the goal setting part…

Wipe out all the debts
Swap my little Ford SportKa for a 7 seater without using credit
Achieve promotion at work
Launch another 2 profitable websites
Make this blog an authority for people wanting to learn about squeezepages / list building

Now a couple of these may be stretch targets as trying to find the actual physical time to do all these things may prove to be difficult, but if you set your goals low then you’re never going to actually achieve.

I know that many of you reading this will be in different situations to me, but please take a minute to post a reply and let me what it is you want to achieve in 2008. If it’s anything to do with listbuilding and generating income via the internet it would be great to hear from you.

One of the products I’m going to be creating will be aimed at teaching the newbie the basic skills required to create profitable squeezepages, so by letting me know where you’re struggling I’ll be able to create a better product and help you achieve your goals. This makes a win-win situation, and this is a great situation to be in.

So in conclusion I hope you’ve had a great 2007, and look forward to reading about your goals, and even helping you to achieve them in 2008.

Happy List Building

How To Make Money And Get On The JV Radar

Hi folks

Today I want to apologies, and tell you why your inbox has been flooded with requests.

The reason is 2 fold…

#1 A lot of products are being released

#2 I want to get on the radar’s of some people to help me achieve my 2008 goals.

Now in case you didn’t know it, one of the best ways to get a JV deal is to be a top affiliate for the person you want to promote your product. So here’s why I’ve decided to promote 3 different products in a 24 hour period.

MyViralSpiral3

I offered Tim advice on how to fix a bug in the butterfly marketing script he uses on his listmission site. On realising we’re both in the UK we spoke on the phone to ressolve the issue and realised that we had similar interest in the list building niche. Knowing that I was good with scripts he let me have a beta copy of his MVS script, and now it’s on the third version it’s a must have tool for serious internet marketers.

The Last Affiliate Secret

I really love Eric’s clickbank undercover report, and by promoting in my follow up I earn regular $7 payments, and I get advance notice / preview copies of his latest products. Having read the ebook I can say it’s another good solid product with an excellent salespage, and is something that will make money.

Not only will I make money from it, but if I achieve a certain number of sales I will get a mailing in return from Eric during 2008. Given I’m working towards launching a new site in the spring it’s in my interest to promote him now. This is a classic example of leverage, so if you want a mailing from me please promote 7dollarexpert.com

MyViralPopAds

Most of my first big paydays came from promote trackthatad, and I’m a big fan of the ability that Craig has to come up with novel and inventive membership sites. Again I’ve been given prior knowledge as I’m on Craig’s radar, and if I know that this site will provide me with traffic, and make some clickbank sales.

Again I have an alteria motive…

I plan on relaunching listbanditexpert.com in January. I’m going to be adding new affiliate tools, a downsell, and just generally improving the top of my marketing funnel. I know that Craig has a huge downline in listbandit, so hopefully I can convince him to mail out for me.

The Conclusion

It’s not what you know, it’s who you know…

Happy List Building

p.s. Let me know who you want to JV with, and how you’re going to get on their radar in 2008.


Review of Tim Brocklehurst’s MyViralSpiral3

Please watch the video below to see MVS3 in action…

When I met Tim back in October he was telling me all about his plans for MVS, and how it was going to be the must have software for 2008. Well I think Tim has delivered on his promises, and anyone who puts a bit of effort and adds some rebrandable ebooks to the system will achieve sucess.

Like I explain in the video you can find brandable pdf’s for many of the top clickbank products, and make a small fortune by giving them away. Add them to giveaways, or advertise them on Traffic Exchanges / Safelists and you could easily be adding a hundred subscribers a week to your list.

The last, and the best thing about MVS3 is that you can pay a monthly fee so that Tim looks after all the technical stuff for you. Trust me, this will save you hours of time in frustration, and unlike other software you buy it won’t sit unused as you couldn’t get it work like it said on the salespage.

Also I’m going to throw in a bonus, when you buy get in touch with me, by commenting below, and after christmas I will get in touch you via skype and help you achieve a list of at least 500 subscribers.

The Importance of the Follow-up

This is an article from Glen Hopkins. He is an internationally renowned Internet marketer and the #1 Best Selling Author of, Lucrative List Building. This article focuses on what to do once you’ve decided to build a list…

Okay now you have a domain name, a Web host and sequential autoresponder. You have already set up your squeeze page to capture your visitor’s contact information and your sales page describing what you are selling and why your visitor’s need it.

Now you are ready for your follow-up emails with a Sequential Sales Message.

The average person must be shown or exposed to your message, you or your brand approximately seven times before they will consider buying from you. Marketing guru, Jay Levinson figures the average person needs to see an ad twenty-seven times before it has the desired impact.

That is where your autoresponder comes in to play, because it is designed to send out predetermined sequential messages to your visitors. These messages help you develop a rapport with your subscribers so they can learn to know you, like you and trust you. Everybody is going to buy at a different point; the key is to get them on your list.

So, what do you send out in your messages?

The first message should be thanking your subscribers for requesting more information on your product or service as well as delivering the information you have promised. For example a free report or whatever you want to give free to your subscribers to get them to subscribe and buy.

The second message, about two day later, you should ask them how they liked their free report and ask them if they have any questions. What you are doing here is reminding them that you have given them something of value for free and you are soliciting their feedback by asking if they have questions.

The third message around day seven should include more information about your product and information that highlights the core benefits related to that subscriber.

The fourth letter on day 14 could be an email highlighting the most common questions or concerns that other customers have had about your product. How many times have you seen, ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ on a website? This is what is known as managing objections.

Day 21 or your fifth message could include testimonials that you’ve gathered from existing customers. If possible, include some from highly respected people in your field.

The next email should be one addressing common concerns of your payment plan. You might suggest that many people have contacted you stating that your product or service was too much money. So, you come up with a special payment plan, such as installments.

A later email may be a sale, like a Holiday sale or damaged goods sale. Whatever the reason, just be sure to give your visitors a reason. Everyone wants to know why you are doing something. Give them the reason why you are offering a sale and why they should purchase from you now.

Remember, a common phrase in the email marketing world states, ‘The fortune is in the follow-up.’ This is how your visitors get to know you, like you and trust you. Three important aspects of making a sale.

What Is MVS3? How Can It Benefit Me?

Later this week Tim Brocklehurst will be releasing version 3 of his myviralspiral software.

Throughout this year Tim has been travelling the world and spreading the word about MVS, and building up a list of success stories. I’d like to think that I was one of these, after all thanks to myviralspiral I’ve added an extra couple of thousand members to my list - and made a few bucks from this :-)

Now version 3 isn’t going on sale till late this week, but Tim has prepared an excellent 5 minute video that explains exactly why the system is so powerfull.

p.s. If you do make an investment in MV3 this week then please post a comment with your skype details and I’ll put 30 minutes aside to talk you through it - remember to go for the hosted option.


Review Of Post Launch Profits From Alex Jeffries

Well the video pretty much says it all, but having read the Post Launch Profits Report I know think that Alex will achieve his goal of 7 figure in 2008, and his blueprint on how he achieved 6 figures in 2007 is an honest report that was really easy to follow and understand.If you want to give yourself a headstart buy the OTO, but I personally found the downsell to be much better value :-)Happy List BuildingAndrew
p.s. Once you’ve read the Post Launch Profits Report please post a comment and let me know if you agree with my thoughts about Alex.


Christmas Giveaways

Once you’ve watched the video above here’s the links

http://www.andrewstark.com/recommends/12Days

For Santa Sal I’m afraid it’s not a public link, so post a comment with your email and I’ll send it to you asap.

Please remember that if you do want to ensure that giveaways will work in the future you need to add a product that has actually helped you, and not something you picked up at last year’s giveaway.

Happy List Building

p.s. I kept my promise, no mention of Ewen Chia, with all his super affiliate friends mailing I don’t think he needs my help.
