If you’ve ever bought a product to get a bonus then this is the post for you.

Having something that will compliment an affiliate offer is something that will skyrocket your conversions and make you a lot more sales. As you will learn in the video above this needs to be done properly or you can end up looking like a dick, yes I do actually call another marketer a dick for the way he tried to sell affiliate millionaire to me.

Anyway to cut a long story short Robert Puddy has a great new product that will allow you to offer bonus products and make more affiliate conversions.

Enjoy

Andrew

p.s. Can you spot the 2 deliberate mistakes in the video?

So I spent a very enjoyable 24 hours in Newcastle at Lee McIntyre’s Continuity workshop.

As is to be expected from Lee the content was brilliant, and I’ve got a lot of ideas on how to go about expanding my business and adding in that all important continuity to create a real sustainable business revenue vs the boom & bust of product launches.

During the day it became clear to me that the people who invest in learning and buying products / services were those who were achieving success, so I want you to watch this 1 minute video and tell me if you’re a buyer or a tyre kicker?

Andrew

p.s. I really want to hear from you tyre kickers so I can see what’s holding you back from achieving success.

p.p.s The only tyre hurt in this recording was on the “Mighty Zaf” which is just a workhorse and used to the rough & tumble of family life.

This is something that I want to do more of, so every time I see my inbox flooded with pre-launch messages I’m going to record a video critique so that you can see what the big players are up to.

Hopefully this will allow you to “copy the best” rather than trying to re-invent the wheel.

Here’s the link to Howie’s Mobile Marketing Leadership page (currently in pre-launch) and I’m halfway to winning a robotic darth vadar arm! So please do sign-up for more info this does look to be a very profitable area of the market – I know that my time online via my phone is increasing!

As every please leave a comment so I know what you liked / hated about the video.

So I won a copy of “Crush It” from my twitter buddie AlanWho and although I’d seen the buzz on twitter when it came out it wasn’t something that made me go order a copy. Long story short this is a cracking little book, that everyone with a passion should read asap and embrace the world of social media.

Now I’m going to make my passion squeezepages, I was able to think of at least a dozen good headlines for blog posts, so I’ll be starting a new blog later this year to really drive traffic to my sites and share the many different ways of setting up profitable squeezepages for loads of different niche markets.

Please let me know what you’re passionate about, and if you leave a link to your opt-in page within the comment I’ll try to do a video critique for you to help you get better conversion, and make more cash.

Andrew

This married life is really hectic, but the plan for this year is to send you more content and quality offers rather than just hitting you all the time with offers for “shiney new things” where my commission is more important than if the product is any good.

BTW if you want more info on the reasons behind this paradigm shift then perhaps you should read Yaro Starak’s blog post (link opens in a new window)

I have made a video walk through of surfing ThumbVu, but thought I’d also give you the 5 reasons in writing in case I didn’t cover them in the video.

1. It’s all about the branding, not only do you get your pages seen, but you can really build up your social media profiles at the same time.
2. Watch out for the thumbnails with the border, these people are paying to get their pages seen, so start following them and do some proper networking.
3. If you have a smart phone you can be generating traffic to your site without being at your computer. Great if you have to spend time waiting about for the kids!
4. List building, having your opt-in form on the surfbar is brilliant, but I don’t think this option is available for free members.
5. Last but probably most importantly – Results! I’ve been looking at my TEtoolbox stats, and not only is ThumbVu delivering the traffic, it’s currently got the highest conversions, so please think long and hard about the upgrade – I took the 2nd option of $17 per month.

Hope this honest review will make you see the value in traffic exchange advertising.

Happy surfing

Andrew

p.s. I’ve installed sexy bookmarks, and it you like this video please give me a digg, and I’ll follow you back.

For the last 2 weeks I’ve had no access to the internet, as the video shows I was in the Highlands getting married.

After 1 day back at work I’ve now got a couple of “snow days” as the 6 inches of snow mean that all the schools have shut – unlike Scotland cheshire council seem to just hope for the best and haven’t got any snowplough’s capable of clearing the roads!

Anyway enough ranting, I hope that you had a great christmas / hogmany and look forward to a profitable 2010.

Andrew

p.s. I just installed the sexybookmark plugin, so feel free to use it.

Head’s up for Thursday when Phantom Link Cloacker goes live.

In case you can’t be bothered watching the video I’m offering the perfect bonus.

I will install the script for you, so that all you do is paste in your affiliate link and you’re creating /recommends /uses /download links that go onto the end of your main domain. This is powerfull stuff and will really increase clickthtough rates and help you build up your brand.

To claim the bonus send an email to andrew.stark79@gmail.com with the details of the site you want phantom link cloacker installed onto. Please note I will need your cpanel details, and the license code that you will generate inside the members area of phantom link cloacker – if you can’t figure this out then include your login in the email.

Look forward to setting up this cool software for you.

Andrew

Recently I’ve going back to basics, and it has added hundreds of new members to squeezepagesecretsrevealed.

The video above shows you what to do when joining a credit based safelist, and how to label up your gmail accounts so that you easily sort out the mail. Remember that if you don’t check for good headlines then why are you expecting other people to click and join your list?

The advertising I’ve been using is just the standard copy & paste of the promo tools within the members area, and a couple of lucky members are now owed commission as I’ve been using affiliate links rather than just the main link.

My next plan is to set up a splash page using TEtoolbox and compare Traffic Exchanges against Safelists, and I’ll be posting the results here so that you can see the best places to spend your advertising dollars.

Happy List Building

This video shows you an example of a great squeezepage that converts traffic into leads. These leads are converted into clickbank sales by the brilliant follow-up system that Soren & Cindy have in place.

Now the dullest and most difficult part of affiliate marketing is trying to figure out where the sales came from, and having to deal with really ugly tracking links – I mean does http://cbpirate.com/s/cbp/shugster/10-09-09BlogPost really look a link you’d be desperate to click in an email?

By creating a new folder on your server & uploading this index.php redirect onto your website you will be able to have proper tracking & get people seeing your brand.

<?php
header( ‘Location: http://cbpirate.com/s/cbp/shugster/trafficsource’ ) ;
?>

If you’ve joined cbpirate it’s just a case of sending traffic and seeing what gives results and repeating.

For those of you who have your own squeezepages then use the same redirect technique, but put in your hitsconnect link with the traffic source tagged onto the end. If you want to have the opt-in conversion added then you’ll need the premium account, so it’s probably more cost effective for newbies to promote & use the tracking provide within CBpirate to find good traffic sources. Then once you a solid residual income you can invest time and money building your own list.

If anything doesn’t make sense then post a comment, and I’ll try to explain spefic points in more detail.

So today the whole world seems to be promoting KeyWord Elite

Now although this is a great product I’m not putting out a cut & paste email about it, hoping to make $97 commissions and praying that you stick with the recurring billing.

Instead I wanted to share with you some marketing advice that you can try out next time you go to the shops. Simply browse the magazine rack, and pick out the headlines that sell – you know the ones that grab your eye and make you pick up the magazine… These are what you should be using on your squeezepages!

If you watch the video you’ll find the SMART headline that Men’s Fitness used, and it’s a great headline that you could modify to your own niche.

eg. How To Generate 1,234 Fresh Leads In Under 30 Days…

Please share the headline on the last magazine you bought, and I bet it could be modified to the IM niche.
