Hi folks

Previously I wouldn’t have thought twice about promoting anything by Mike Filsaime.

It was his carbon copy videos that taught me html, the butterfly manuscript helped me learn the whole concept of the “One Time Offer”, and his Butterfly Marketing Script powers my ListBanditExpert website. His new product is a condensed version of the “7 Figure Workshop” that people (including me) paid $777 in July last year, so I know that what you’re getting will be top quality information.

The reason I’m not sure about promoting is because although it’s free you will have to enter your credit card details to pay for the p&p. Now recently he’s been giving away some of his other products in a similar way, but when you read the small print it says you’re also joining his paid newsletter and you will get billed $24.95 after 7 days, and every month you remain a member of the newsletter.

To me this is pretty sneaky and part of a growing trend where more and more of the big names are trying to people into forced continuity programmes. To me the idea is a bit like the porn industry where you get the instant gratification for free, and then rely on you forgetting to cancel the billing.

Also I’m sure that the site will have a whole host of upsells & downsells, and you will probably get the chance to buy the digital download of the Butterfly Marketing Script for a lot less than $1500 - brilliant if you want to launch your own site in the near future.

So please post a comment to let me know your opion on this matter.

The site is now live, I won’t be promoting directly, but I can confirm that Mike has been totally upfront about adding you to his monthly newsletter, so if you take up his offer but don’t want to pay the monthly fee for the newsletter then make a note of the number on the order page so you just pay the S&H.

Here’s Bob Jenkin’s link, he’s giving you extra material for going through his link

Thanks for all the comments, and in future please give Mike the respect that he deserves, it was a bit unfair of me to make comments on something that I hadn’t personally seen.

Like I say in the above video I need your feedback for what to include in my next product.

So what is stopping YOU from building a list?

1. Don’t understand autoresponders?
2. Can’t find reports to use?
3. Scared of html?
4. Creating killer headlines?
5. Turning freebie seekers into buyers?
6. Something else?

Remember that I plan to make a series of camtasia video’s, and if I answer one of your questions I’ll be giving you a direct link to the video that I make, so this is effectively free 1:1 mentoring I’m offering.

All you need to do is leave a comment here and I’ll do my best to help you get started building a profitable list.

I hope you find this article usefull, and I’d love to read your comments. 

#1 Sell Other People’s Products

Basically you drive traffic to your affiliate page, and if anyone buys then you get a commission on the sale. Clickbank & PayDotCom are great places to find ebooks where you can earn up to 75% commission.

Now although I’ve put this as #1 I don’t rely on this as my main source of income. If I was to spend all my time driving traffic to other people’s sites then I would be building someone else’s list rather than mine. The best way to make affiliate sales is to include them in your autoresponder series or promote via viral ebooks as part of your listbuilding.

#2 Resale Rights Products

This is where you buy the product and sell it on for 100% profit.

Now you should be carefull when selecting a product to resale. It should be a product related to a niche that your interested in, and it should come with graphics and a salespage that you can customise to fit your market.

If you combine several resale right products from the same niche you can put these together and sell as a One Time Offer to anyone who opts-in to your list.

#3 Private Label Products

This where you buy the rights to fully edit a complete product, and then sell it as if you were the author.

A lot more work is involved here, as if you’re selling with your name on the cover then it needs to be something that you’re proud of, and not just a series of rehased articles full of spelling mistakes.

A good tactic with PLR products is to take out a chapter and turn it into a viral report than you can use in giveaway sites to generate leads and send targeted traffic back to the main salespage.

#4 Create Your Own Product

If you’ve been targeting your list on a specific niche then you should have lots of ideas for potential products.

Typical content would be an e-book, a piece of software, interviews with experts, or a mentoring service.

Now in order to sell this product you will need to create some graphics and a salespage - I would highly recommend that you outsource the graphics and copywriting. Now this probably won’t be cheap, but the more you spend on your copywriting the better your salespage will convert.

#5 Create Your Own Affiliate Army

Now that you have your own product you should provide a way for other people to sell it.

If you sell the product using a membership script like Launch Formula Marketing ever buyer will automatically be given an affiliate link. By using LFM you can also give away copies of your products to the big players in your niche and get them on board as Joint Venture partners.

To really kickstart your online income it would also be great to get your product listed on Clickbank or PayDotCom so that you can get affiliates from all over the world promoting your product.

To me the word “newbie” is a state of mind that holds many people back

A Newbie is someone who spends their money chasing the dream of creating an online money tree, but even after planting hundreds of acorns no oaks are in sight.

You see the world of internet marketing has set up so that people get caught in what I call the “Newbie Trap”. Far too many people believe the dream that overnight welath can be created from an adwords campaign and the latest much have $47 ebook.

Once you make that first purchase it’s a downward spiral of spending more money and trying to learn everything that you think you need to know. After I purchased my first ebook I was called up and told that if I paid a few thousand and joined a mentoring programme I would be earning tens of thousands within months.

Like a true newbie I was out with the credit card and started trying the coaching calls. Sadly the guy who was training me was totally rubbish, and it was only when I started to do background research I found much more valuable content for free in marketing forums like NetMarketingForum & TheWarrior Forum.

Fast forward a couple of years and now that I’m a bit more savy I want to share 3 tips with you that will help you to get started actually making money.

1. Stop calling yourself a newbie, and avoid products that are advertised as being suitable for newbies. The people selling these products realise that you have a shiny new credit card and rely on you being green behind the ears and pay copywriters to play on this.
2. Identify the Mavens that you want to be like. Download the free reports, participate in forums, comment on blogs, and become a student of marketing.
3. Start building your list. This is easier than sounds, as you don’t need to re-invent the wheel! Rebrand / get giveaway rights for a report you downloaded in step 2, and add your own aweber code and thank-you pages.

Now I hope you understand this, and if you need help with #3 then please get in touch

Simon Hodgkinson and Jeremy Gislason fall into the catagory of “super affiliates” who can make thousands of dollars from a single email promotion.

The reason behind this success is that many people see them as authority figures.

More importantly the reason why people regard them as authority figures is based on the thousands of people they have in their membership sites. So I wanted to let you know about this great new site that Jeremy and Simon have been
secretly putting together over the past couple of months.

Why?

To teach you everything they know about building online businesses and marketing with membeship sites.

There is already lots of great software around to build membership sites, but they have discovered many of you need more training n the mindset, ins and outs, behind the scenes etc.

Lots of free content available and tons more content in the upgraded Silver member area.
