Like many many other people in the internet marketing niche I suffer a lot from proscastionation. I have read and listened for hours about online business, but it isn’t until I turn the thoughts in my head into actions that good things happen. For example it has taken a lot of effort to get this blog post online – christmas parties, hangovers, broken wordpress theme, and many many other reasons make the first post in December even though I’ve had dozens of ideas.

The take home message is that if you do nothing then expect nothing to happen.

People won’t pay you for the ideas in your head, but if you turn them into a product and sell the information they will hand over money, and this is the starting point for creating an online business.

Setting up your first website is daunting and despite what everyone says the learning curve is steep at the start, and then once you get to the top it’s another rollercoaster ride to generate traffic and start ot see a return on investment.

Below is a video of someone who is taking the first steps towards building his own list. Ian Clarke purchased my safelistsecrets report and I’m delighted that he’s followed the steps outlined and you can see how he’s now head and shoulders above the majority of other safelist users who are still promoting get rich quick in the hope that someone newer than them will make the same mistakes.

Please join me in congratulating Ian, and giving me content to share with you.

As you know I offer a video critique of squeezepages over at fiverr – http://fiverr.com/andrewstark/critique-your-squeeze-page-and-screen-record-the-opt-in-process

So today I thought it’s about time I recorded my own squeezepage and showed you behind the scenes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XuNC4yUAAI

This sticks to the KISS method, Keep It Super Simple. The page fits the window in the browser, it is super targeted to my traffic source, and it’s clear what I’m giving away. Once the email is collected the aweber video gives me a fantastic double opt-in rate and then the download page has many different soft offers.

Remember if you want to know how to do that cool thing with the ”pretend video” leave me a comment.

Happy List Building

Andrew

So I managed to find some quiet time in the house and I’ve managed to record a video showing you a great way I’ve found to increase my social branding by surfing Traffic Exchanges. By watching the video you will see that rather than looking at the pages being advertised I’m looking at the people who are advertising.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RaaS7ieFBY

I want to connect and form relationships with people who already know what internet marketing is.

As you will see surfing has evolved, and listsurfing, thumbvu, and sitexplosion are all about relationship building.

Please make sure that you have uploaded a picture, and added in the links to your social media sites. The extra traffic and branding this generates is worth so much more than the normal 10 seconds you get to impress during normal surfing.

Second part of the pre-launch from Ryan Deiss for Digital Marketer
http://andrewstark.com/Half-Price-FaceBook-Ads

The content of the video is solid, it does show you a tactic used by Ryan’s staff to half the CPC of their adverts that are targeting the survival niche. It’s a great example of how doing the basics really does save you money.

Again I’ve recorded the opt-in process, very valuable if you want to see how the real experts are setting up squeezepages and adding in easy ways to make their content go viral.

Like all good squeezepages it’s super clear what is being given away, lot’s of arrows pointing to the opt-in box, and the video with pop-up is a classic Ryan Deiss design.

Watch, learn, and take action on the way that this squeezepage is set up.

Apologies for the lighting, but it was filmed on location in a dark Swedish hotel room!

Anyway the audio should be clear, and the take home message is the same as Affiliate Funnel – Promote Yourself First.

Look forward to your comments

DOWNLOAD THE FREE PROFIT STRETCHING REPORT

Apologies for not getting this up sooner, but somehow this blog was attacked and although hostgator have been brilliant about removing all of the code google are being slow at removing the warnings, so apologies to firefox fans using a different browser.

If you are just starting out these rebrandable pdf’s are a great way to set up affiliate landmines until you decide you’re ready to create your own products and reports.

Enjoy

So after 5 years of waiting Gary Ambrose has finally released list wire.  This is a fully functional autoresponder and is in many ways an upgrade to his existing paid emailaces service.

When you join make sure you have 15-20 minutes to listen to Gary’s rambling OTO, you’re browser won’t explode, but as you can see in the video above I highly recommend his quality list course. I ended up buying the crappy Million Dollar March course for stupid money to get this material as a bonus so you will be getting yourself a great deal if you take Gary up on his offer.

Remember that list wire is free to join and I’ll be making a series of video’s showing you how to use it properly and putting part of the “quality list” course into practise – I’ve even just bought a new domain for the project.

Enjoy

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?
