Armand Morin Reveals His New Video Sales Letter. Does this Signal the End of the Long Copy Sales Letter?

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 12:41:00 +0000

Internet Marketing Expert, Armand Morin, has just released a new sales letter except that this is no ordinary sales letter. Yes, it is a video sales letter and it takes video sales letters to a new level.

Does this signal the end of the long copy sales letter?

For years, one of the most hotly contested questions about copywriting was - short or long copy. Until now, most Internet Marketers and Copywriting Experts would answer "Long copy." Today, the answer is less clear.

About four years ago Armand Morin paid a copy $12,000 so that he could walk onto a stage and make a video recording to promote his training event - The Big Seminar.

Today, technology has moved on such a pace that the same effect can be generated for a mere fraction of that price. In fact with a little know-how and a $200 digital camera you can create a compelling video.

Several Expert Copywriters including Michel Fortin (author of Death of the Salesletter) and Ray Edwards have predicted that the video sales letters will become more prevalent. In a recent interview Ray Edwards said:

"The days of the super-long, hyped-up sales letter are coming to an end."

Armand Morin's video sales letter contains all the elements of a written sales letter. However, the difference is that each of the traditional elements of a sales letter is delivered by a series of short videos of Armand Morin, each no longer than two minutes, interspersed with even shorter video testimonials.

He was also one of the pioneers in using video testimonials. Yet, when he first used video testimonials, it took him three weeks to install just five video testimonials onto his website. You only have to look at a website such as Alex Mandossian's Teleseminar Secrets to know that adding video testimonials to your web site is today a much simpler process.

It has been proven that using video can almost miraculously increase your sales conversion and the one thing you can do to change your bottom line is to change your marketing message and so it makes sense to use video. The knock-on effect of an increase in the use of video is the use of shorter, tighter copy.

This latest video sales letter lays down the gauntlet to Internet Marketers and provides the opportunity for a fascinating and very revealing case study.

One thing is clear. Video is here to stay but from here on, copywriting for the Internet will never be the same again.

Copywriting Expert Ray Edwards Gives His 4-Step Formula for Writing a Sales Letter

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 08:38:00 +0000

Ray Edwards is an expert copywriter who has written copy for virtually all the major Internet Marketing experts and the copy he has written over the years spans a very spectrum indeed. He has a very simple yet obviously highly effective 4-step process for writing an income-generating sales letter. Here are Ray Edward's expert copywriting tips:

1. Explain what you're selling

This is basically your headline and most of your attention has to be focused on crafting the right headline because this is the first thing that people will read and, in some cases, the only thing that people will read.

Dramatic results have been achieved in marketing results just by tweaking the headline.

And there's an evolution afoot. Video is increasing in popularity on the Internet and video headlines will be the next thing to become vogue.

Internet Marketer, Mike Stewart said in a recent interview that we are essentially an audio-visual society. The great advantage of using video is that you can target all five modalities at the same time.

"…a 2 min video done properly with a Direct Response approach, like the home shopping network does and they're master of it…I believe can convey a million words of information because you're hitting people with five modalities at the same time. You're able to control people's emotion with music. You're able to create sensations of realism with sound effects. You're able to hit all parts of their brains at the same time with visuals - multiple visuals. You're able to look them in the eye. You're able to build trust. You're able to demonstrate. You're able to give so much information."
Mike Stewart

And what Mike Stewart says at the beginning of the quote above is a critical factor in crafting an effective video headline. Ray Edwards recommends that it should last no more than 60-90 seconds. In other words, your video needs to be short and hard-hitting.

2. Here's why it's right for you

After the headline Ray says describe why your product or service is right for your target market. You have to describe the benefits of your product.

Speak to your prospects in a language that will resonate with them. Ray recommends getting inside the head of your prospects. Imagine a day in the life of your prospect.

What do they eat and drink?
Where do they work?
How do they travel?
Where do they shop?
What do they do for fun?
How do they speak?

And so on.

Your prospect wants to be understood. The more accurately you're able to build the picture of your prospect's life the more effectively you'll be able to communicate with them through your sales letter. This helps to build rapport and trust and this leads to sales.

3. Here are some questions you might have

People do not buy products or services. People buy solutions to their problems. As Persuasion Expert, Dave Lakhani, says, "People are looking for salvation" so you need to prove that your product or service is indeed their salvation.

When your prospect reads your sales letter they are going to have a a number of questions and a series of objections running through their mind. You have to anticipate the questions and objections and answer them in a convincing manner.

Get this right and you are left with a prospect without any further objections to buying your particular product or service and so they click on your order button with complete confidence and complete the sale.

4. Here's what to do right now

The next step that Ray recommends is actually instructing your prospect what to do next.

Some marketers seem reluctant to ask for the sale. The thing is you don't know from one prospect to another is at what point during reading your sales letter that they will be ready to purchase.

However, when they make that decision you don't want your prospects to have to go searching for an order link. That could result in you actually losing the sale. Armand Morin recommends asking for the sale 7-12 times!

Plus, you have to be very explicit in directing people what to do as they start the process of completing the order form. It may seem obvious but spelling things out will actually help to increase sales.

The point where a customer arrives at your order page represents a critical stage in the buying process. Many people actually have a change of heart when they get to the order page. So again, you need to ensure that the instructions for completing the form are very clear.

This is where audio and of course video on your order page can be very helpful in reassuring your customer that they are indeed doing the right thing by purchasing your product.

The 5 Best Tools to Provide Your Affiliates for a Top Affiliate Program

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 08:05:00 +0000

In a recent interview, Stu McLaren provided his recommendations for the best tools to provide your affiliates to create a top affiliate program.

"You want to do everything you can to take the thinking part out, to take the hard work out. And, if you do that, they'll be much more likely to continue promoting your products month in and month out and that's what we're really looking for, that on-going activity from our affiliates."
Stu McLaren

When you provide your affiliates with effective tools, straight out of the gate, they can focus on marketing your products as opposed to creating marketing tools to market your products. Some affiliates will simply get frustrated and give up if they don't have the right tools.

So here are the recommendations of expert Affiliate Manager, Stu McLaren regarding the basic tools to provide your affiliates in produce maximum sales.

1. Email Templates

Provide your affiliates with at least 3 email templates - one short and two longer emails.

The short email will get more or less straight to the point and direct the reader to a call to action. Whereas the longer email templates can provide more of a story and give more background, etc.

Choose two different angles when crafting your longer emails to give your affiliates more options. The longer emails also provide your affiliates with greater scope to add their personal touch to the content.

2. Blog Reviews

Provide your affiliates with 2-3 blog reviews. These should be written as though coming from a third party.

Your reviews should be balanced. So give the pros and cons without belabouring any negatives that your product or service might have. At the end of your review you should provide your conclusion or summary.

3. Articles

Provide about 3 articles. These can be used by affiliates in multiple locations, for example on their websites, blogs and newsletters. They can even be used offline in magazines, newspapers and in direct response mailings.

The articles can also be recorded to create podcasts. In fact, the number of ways in which the articles can be used is down to the imagination and creativity of the affiliate.

4. Banners

There are a variety of different size banners that you can use in affiliate marketing and they should be created so that your affiliate's code is automatically embedded into the banner. You want to provide the html code for your banners so your affiliates can simply copy and paste the code onto their website.

Some affiliate programs provide banners that are no more than pictures and it is left to the affiliate to work out how to link their affiliate code to the image. Remember, you want to make the life of your affiliate as easy as possible. If you take care of the technical aspects then they can take care of just marketing your products and services.

Common banner sizes are as follows:

Standard 468x60 px
Skyscraper 120x600 px
Box banner 125x125 px
Very Small 120x60 px

Banners which are 125x125 or 120x60 are very popular with bloggers because they are small and compact and can easily be integrated into a blog template or a blog post. The banner at the bottom of this post is an example of a 468x60 banner.

5. Video

Videos are more advanced tools. However, with the rate at which the Internet is evolving and with the increasing popularity of videos they will become more and more commonplace. So while videos are not expected as part of the basic package of affiliate marketing tools, they are a great asset and definitely something to consider for the future.

A short video which redirects through your affiliate's link can be a very powerful marketing tool.

So provide these tools to your affiliates and you will have a very well equipped affiliate marketing sales force indeed.

Internet Marketing Expert Stu McLaren's Proven and Tested Strategy for Recruiting Affiliates

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:30:00 +0000

Stu McLaren is the Affiliate Manager for some of the Internet's top marketers including Armand Morin, Mark Victor Hansen and Glazer-Kennedy. So he has a wealth of experience in affiliate management and recruiting. However, particularly if you're just starting your online business finding top affiliates can be a challenge.

There are two main criteria you need to bear in mind when recruiting affiliates.

Your affiliates should:

1. Have a lot of traffic to their website, and or
2. Have a large list that they can send emails to.

So how do you find such marketers?

Here's Stu McLaren's proven and tested strategy for recruiting affiliates.

1. List Your Keywords

Make a list of keywords related to your products or services, i.e. the words that individuals would type into the Google search engine to find the type of products that you promote. Once you've written your list whittle it down to the top 20-25 keywords associated with your niche.

2. Google Search

Go to Google and do a search. Start by typing in "Keyword one + ebook". On the left hand side of your search results will be websites and blogs that organically rank high in the search engines. On the right hand side will be a list of marketers who have paid to advertise for that particular combination of key words.

Websites listed on the left hand side will be getting a large volume of traffic for those particular keywords. Therefore, make a note of these websites.

Also make a note of the websites on the right hand side because if people are paying to advertise then they are generally either:

a) Building a mailing list by directing prospects to an opt-in page, or
b) Building a customer list should the prospects directed to their website actually make a purchase.

Make a note of:

1. The contact information for the website owner;
2. The website's page rank, and
3. The website's Alexa ranking (though note that the latter is not accurate so just use it as a guideline to see the site's popularity).

Compile the data you are collecting into an Excel spreadsheet.

Next you want to repeat the process for your first keyword and words such as seminar, report, home study course, podcast, blog forum, etc.

Downside

This method is time-consuming and laborious.

Upside

Once you recruit your core band of affiliates you will likely have a global sales force working night and day to sell your products. So keep the end-goal in sight.

Plus, there is a short-cut or rather a more efficient way to conduct this research. You can use a special Search Engine Optimisation Software program called SEOElite.

Downside

This software is not free.

Upside

You will be able to conduct your research much faster and more efficiently.

So there you have it - a free way to uncover potential candidates for your elite sales force of affiliate marketers and a slightly more expensive route that will help you to achieve your goals that much faster.

However, here's the real gem. Get your recruitment done right and your affiliate sales force will start to grow virally because your affiliates will attract new affiliates to your business.

Internet Marketing Expert, Matt Bacak's, Easy 3 Step Action Plan for Internet Success

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 16:27:00 +0000

Internet Marketing Expert, Matt Bacak earned his first million online as an affiliate. In a recent interview with fellow Internet Marketing expert, Armand Morin, challenged Matt Bacak and asked him what he would do if lost everything and had to start all over again. So here's Matt Bacak's three step action plan for those starting an online business and selling a info-product with very little start-up cash.

Step 1: Set Up Your Website
Set up your web site with a compelling sales letter. If you hate copywriting then you can hire someone to write the sales copy for you from sites such as Elance, Rentacoder or Guru. Alternatively, there are some excellent sales letter software programs that you can choose from. In addition, you can also use these sites to find website builders as well.

Once you've written your sales letter you also should consider having an opt-in page so that you can start capturing the names of visitors to your website.

Step 2: Set Up Your Autoresponder Series
Here you can re-purpose the copy for your sales letter by breaking it down into small components that focus on the benefits of your product.

Using this autoresponder series you can continue to promote your digital product to those who opt-in to your list but do not immediately purchase your product. In your

You can choose services such as Aweber or GetResponse to set up your autoresponders.

Step 3: Generate Traffic
Matt Bacak advises writing ten articles as quickly as you can and submitting them to key article directories. You can use your resource box to drive people back to your opt in page.

Obviously, the more consistently you write the better your results from this traffic generation method. Here are three key advantages of using articles as a traffic generation strategy:

1. It can be done for free unless you choose to use a ghost writer.
2. Even if you choose to use a ghost writer costs can be quite low.
3. Article writing can have immediate, short-term and long-term benefits as, once published your articles are permanently in cyberspace and their reach can be far and wide.

Initially, you may want to just start out by submitting articles to a few strategic sites but to achieve a wider distribution you can use an Article Submission service such as Article Marketer which offer a low-cost, yet efficient service to distribute your articles to thousands of sites. They even offer a free service to 29 sites.

In addition to the website already mentioned sources of ghost writers or freelance writers include iFreelance and GetAFreelancer.

If you want to write your own articles but hate writing try speaking your articles. Some individuals find it much easier to talk into a microphone and this can be a relatively quick way to create articles. You simply get your audio recording transcribed and after, hopefully, minor editing you have a written article.

An advantage of this method is that you have both written and oral content and using both on your website or blog will increase access to your material. Just as you may not like writing; some people don't like reading and prefer to use their hearing modality.

Special Invitation to FREE Teleseminar with Business Building and Internet Marketing Gurus Jay Abraham and Rich Schefren

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 11:05:00 +0000

The reality is that only a small percentage of people, about 3%, are making a significant income online. If you fall into the 97% category then you know that it's time you started doing things differently and here's your chance to start learning how.

Let's face it online and offline business is changing. People are bombarded with marketing messages. Do you know that by age 10 a child growing up in the Western world would have been exposed to over 400,000 commercials?

As a result people are far more wary today than ever before. Business building today whether it be online or offline, now more than ever is built on trust. If you are not seen as the "go-to" person in your field or industry then your door to wealth will be forever shut.

Becoming that "go-to" person is described as mavenship and I know of two people who are uniquely qualified to help you transform yourself into a maven. What's more you can achieve this in just 3 short days. This teleseminar that I'm inviting you to is just the beginning.

The first person is Rich Schefren, the guru of gurus. Rich has achieved phenomenal success offline and online. His client list reads like the "Who's Who" of Internet marketing. He has coached famous clients such as Mike Filsaime, Tellman Knudson, Jim Edwards, Rob Ball, Stu Mclaren, Brad Fallon, Marlon Sanders and many more.

The other is Rich's own personal mentor, marketing genius, Jay Abraham. Jay has done it for more people in more industries - offline and online - than anybody else I know of.

Jay's long list of clients includes AT&T, Charles Schwab & Co., General Electric, Holiday Inn, IBM, Microsoft, Shell Oil Co. and many more. In fact, Jay has significantly increased the wealth success and income of over 10,000 clients in over 400 industries worldwide.

1 + 1 does not always equal 2

You've heard of synergy? The definition of synergy is "the interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects".

Question

So what do you think would be the result if you combined the two powerful forces of Rich Schefren and Jay Abraham?

Answer

One MEGA event - and you could be there in person to witness it.

World Premier Event

In fact it will not only be MEGA event, Jay and Rich have come together to create the world's first and only "Maven Makeover Transformation Training Program", from 27-29 February 2008 in Orlando.

This is high-level, accelerated learning seminar is focused entirely on transforming yourself from the ordinary to extraordinary, and becoming the dominant maven in your market.

Click HERE to find out more…

Why a Maven?

Because as Rich explained in "The Attention Age Doctrine, Part II", unless you can position yourself and/or your business as the thought leader in your field, people are less apt to give you their time, attention, or trust.

But if you can catapult yourself into true maven status in your market, everything changes.

You stop chasing people. Instead, you attract people come to you like a magnet attracting iron filings. People anxiously await your every communication. Your e-mails, letters and blogs get read immediately. You become their most trusted advisor.

And, once you've ascended to that rarified stratum of establishing an intimate relationship with your marketplace, doing business becomes much easier.

You no longer sell. People enthusiastically buy.

You no longer work to get exposure. People come to YOU for help, ideas, advice, and lucrative deals.

Sure you've still got to put the work in but business building and wealth creation start to become effortless. You can focus your attention on executing deals rather than creating them.

In short, your entire business life shifts totally into another dimension, a dimension that only a select few will ever hope to experience.

But for YOU, it can be a very doable goal.

Because come 27-29 February 2008, Jay and Rich will be pooling their resources and transforming a few hundred select individuals from average marketer to dominant maven in their markets.

Want a sneak peek? Go ahead...it doesn't cost anything.

Discover the secrets of MAVENSHIP

You're invited to join Jay and Rich for arguably, THE most insightful two hour teleconference call you've ever experienced.

For 120 non-stop minutes, Jay and Rich will be showing (not telling) you some proven ways you can move yourself from mediocrity to maven in the fastest possible time.

They'll explain exactly what a "Maven Makeover" entails, how to fast-track it yourself, the nine biggest weaknesses you need to replace in your current mindset - and most importantly, how easily it can happen for YOU.

And that's only the FIRST half.

Transforming You into the MAVEN of Your Market

Part two of the call will zoom-in on real case studies of ordinary people, much like you, that Jay or Rich have made over into the dominant mavens in their market.

You'll listen in on their private before-and-after success stories, and maybe (time allowing) even get a few actual clients on the phone to tell you some stories themselves.

Both men promise they'll reveal little-known, highly profitable, never-before-shared, and totally actionable knowledge that can produce a whole new level of success and prosperity for you.

So why are they doing this?

Simple - they want to attract only the very best people to attend their innovative, "Maven Makeover Intensive". It will be an awesome meeting of great minds. Just think of the networking opportunities and strategic alliances you can create.

Despite their impeccable qualifications and mind-blowing track records Jay and Rich know that they have to prove to you that they can deliver the goods when you come to their three-day event in Orlando, 27-29 February 2008. So they are investing generously and openly in you.

How to Create Income Generating Info Products Fast and Easy

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 12:09:00 +0000

Many Internet marketers simply hate writing but they can wax lyrical about their Internet marketing niche. What's more they also know how to extract the juiciest bits of information from other experts. So one of the fastest ways to create an info product is to host a teleseminar.

Using a teleseminar format, good content can be converted into an info product in several ways. Here are some of the ways in which you can make money from teleseminars. You can:

1. Charge an admittance fee to your teleseminar,
2. Sell the transcript (digital or printed),
3. Sell the Audio CD(s),
4. Sell the MP3(s), or
5. Sell combinations of the above .

Teleseminar Hosting

One way of easily setting up a teleseminar is by using InstantTeleseminar.

This is a great system that many Internet Marketers are using to promote and host their teleseminars. The beauty of this product is two-fold:

1. It is easy to use and flexible, and
2. Participants can either listen via the phone or via the web

Ease of Use
You can literally set up a teleseminar in minutes. Sample templates are provided for your promo webpage header and photo.

Phone vs Webcast
The basic set-up for InstantTeleseminar allows up to 200 people to call the bridge line and up to 2,000 people to attend via a live webcast. Research has shown that where participants have the choice of either dialling in to a teleseminar or listening via the web that 65% will tne into the webcast. Therefore, it is important to give your teleseminar participants this option if you want to boost your attendance figures.

You can see an example of one of the promo pages created using InstantTeleseminar by clicking the link below:

"The Secrets to Being a Successful GhostWriter"

All the main information that someone wanting to participate in this event is provided, i.e. date, time, number to dial if listening by phone or how to listen online. To listen online you just have to re-visit this webpage and select one of the options:

1. Flash Player,
2. Windows Media, or
3. Pop-Up Player.

The countdown clock makes it easy for visitors to see exactly when the event will begin whatever timezone they may be in.

Also, note that you can have links to your website and a "Call to Action" button although this is not shown on this particular example. This is useful if you have a special promotion that you want to direct people to duing your call.

The teleseminar webpage also allows participants to submit questions for the event either before the event or during the actual live teleseminar. The moderator can choose whether to reject or approve a particular question.

InstantTeleseminar allows you to record your event in two ways. A back-up recording is automatically made of your event which is available for a limited period. Alternatively, as the Moderator of the teleseminar, you can record the event yourself by simply pressing the record button in the Moderator Tools section.

You can test the system for 3 weeks for just $1 and I highly recommend that you give it a try even if you use other methods of hosting your teleseminars.

Equipment

The basic equipment you need to host a teleseminar is a headset, telephone, microphone and of course your computer.

When starting out you can use one of those headset and microphone combinations. However, there will come a time when you will want to start creating higher quality recording. People tend to be fairly forgiving when it comes to the sound quality of teleseminars if the content is good. However, if you want to re-purpose your teleseminar and create MP3S and CDs then you want a high-end recording of your teleseminar.

Armand Morin recommends the Samson C03U microphone. It is a condenser microphone with a USB output and you can check it out by clicking the link below:

Samson C03U Microphone

There are several microphones on this page. Just scroll down until you get to the Samson C03U.

Software for Editing (and Recording)

You will also need software to edit you recordings. You'll want to delete some of the umms and ahhs and some of the background sounds if they prove to be distracting, adjust the base to give a richer sound, even out the volume of the recording, etc. You can purchase AdobeAudition. It is an excellent audio production and editing tool for the professional sound engineer.

Or, you could go with a FREE software program called Audacity. Audacity may be free but it is a great program and very easy to use. You can download a copy by clicking the link below:

Placing Your Audio on Your Website

There are two main ways in which Internet Marketers are placing streaming audio on their websites.

1. AudioGenerator
2. AudioAcrobat

AudioGenerator offers a 21 day trial for just $1 and AudioAcrobat offer a free 30 day trial. Rather than give a lengthy overview here I recommend checking them both out and seeing which best suits your needs. They are both easy to use.

One of the advantages that AudioAcrobat has over AudioGenerator is that it allows you to place links on your website that allow the end-user to download your MP3 files.

AudioGenerator allows you to send customisable AudioPostcards which are an excellent marketing tool.

So there you have it, a brief overview of how you can quickly and easily create an info product and re-purpose it so that you can sell it in a variety of formats.

How To Create Blockbuster New Products That Cash In On The "Long Tail" And Dump Tons Of New Customers Into Your Marketing Funnel

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 15:41:00 +0000

How I've Created a Small Fortune With "Flanking" Info Products, How They Differ From What Almost Everybody Else Does, And How You Can Pocket Tidy Profits Year after Year With These Evergreen, Always Selling Profit Trees.

By Marlon Sanders

There are normal products that are the bread and butter of a business.

Then there are BLOCKBUSTER products that create businesses from scratch. These are the products that have the power to bring large numbers of new customers into your fold.

I call them "New Blood" products because they bring new blood into your business. That's what your survival depends on.

If you don't have a way to get new customers into your marketing funnel, you don't have a business.

Job #1 in business is to have a way to GET new customers.

The key to that is the blockbuster product idea.

I've been fortunate in my career to have a number of these products. For example, "Amazing Formula" was and still is legendary and holds a strong place in Internet marketing history.

"Gimme My Money Now" largely created the whole mini-site craze.

"Push Button Letters" spawned a whole new generation of software programs for creating sales letters.

"Design Dashboard" and "Product Dashboard" are my latest mega hits.

But that's me. Let's talk about YOU. How do YOU create not just an ordinary info product, not just a regular info product, but a bonafide blockbuster that draws hundreds or thousands of new customers into your marketing funnel?

The secret of creating blockbuster products is to NOT do what everybody else does! It's that simple.

Everybody else copies successful products and knocks them off. That's the way to NOT have a blockbuster.

The Marlon Sanders tested, proven formula for creating blockbuster info products is 3-fold:

Step one: Create products are the first on the topic or angle

I like how Michael Masterson calls this "one step removed." You don't wanna be so far out ahead of everybody that you get lost in the wilderness.

You wanna be just one step ahead of the other products in the field. Yet, it needs to be on a topic or angle no one else has covered yet.

In "Red Factor," I called this the underserved market.

In Guerilla Marketing terminology (a topic I covered when I spoke at Joel Comm's outstanding "Next Internet Millionaire" event), this is a "flanking" move.

That means you attack uncontested territory where there is little resistance. You don't battle leading products head on. You go where other people aren't.

One time I heard Billy Simms, the great runner for the Detroit
Lions, say that the secret to his success was running where the defense wasn't. That's flanking! Uncontested ground.

Step two: Create products that offer a big benefit

If your product angle or idea has a benefit that isn't clearly different from everything else, you'll be swimming in a sea of "me too" products.

The blockbuster product has to escape the sea of sameness.

Step three: Create products that have undeniable PROOF of value

That proof can be success stories or testimonials.

It can be case studies.

It can be a demonstration.

But the breakthrough product needs PROOF that it delivers on the big benefit.

For "Amazing Formula," I had over 100 pages of testimonials I collected and published as the product sold. An idea I owe to Bob Serling.

"Design Dashboard" had my own web sites as proof as well as some strong success stories.

"Product Dashboard" had a long history of successful product launches as proof I knew how to create info products.

"Push Button Letters" had the benefit of fast results. You could get the software, use it and get an immediate result yourself, so there was no doubt about the product's value.

"Gimme My Money Now" was a contrarian product that went totally against the prevailing wisdom of the time (and still prevalent today) that you need to create web sites with content in order to get traffic.

Gimme was the first product to advocate the 2-page web site model.
That was its uniqueness.

If you follow the 3 steps above, you'll create what I call "Evergreen Profit Trees" that bring in hoards of new customers into your marketing funnel AND grow profits for you year after year after year.

Just by having them on your web site and leaving them there, you'll rake up those tidy little long tail profits. You can have a whole host of these money trees in your online catalog and make easy sales year after year after year.

How to Get the Best from Your PLR Products

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 09:39:00 +0000

PLR products sometimes come complete with a webpage, order form and thank you page, and graphics so that technically you just upload the information to your website, market your product and "kerching!" - you've made a sale.

The best PLR products are those with the greatest amount of flexibility, regarding how you can sell them i.e. those which you can:

1. Edit
2. Put your name as the author
3. Breakdown into articles
4. Use as web or ezine content
5. Add to membership sites
6. Sell in any format
7. Sell on auction site
8. Publish online
9. Offer as part of a package
10. Offer as a FREE bonus
11. Convey Private Label Rights
12. Convey Master Resell Rights

However, while this level of flexibility can work to your advantage you have to remember that there will be several vendors selling exactly the same product. This is why Armand Morin strongly recommends that you at least do these three (3) things:

1. Change the name of the product to differentiate yourself from the marketplace
2. Change the author use your name, make up a name (penname) or use the name of your publishing company, and
3. Always change the sales letter headline.

Research has shown that most people only read the headline of a sales letter. Hence, you will really make it difficult for yourself if you don't change the headline on the sale letter marketing your PLR product. Armand Morin says that people will be unlikely to read your sales letter if they think they have seen it before.

You will also be staking the odds against you in the search engines. The reason for this is if there are several webpages on the Internet all with the same headline then your website will be competing against the all the other websites. Some of the factors that Google will use to rank these sites are:

1. Volume of traffic,
2. Length of time on the Internet, and
3. Current ranking.

Therefore, it is clear that just from these basic factors that your website may not come out on top. You need to differentiate your web site from the multitude of websites selling the same product.

People don't generally read a sales letter word for word. They skim it. Therefore, it needs to stand out and look interesting. One way of achieving this is to use great graphics and you don't have to rely upon the graphics you may have been provided with in your PLR package. There are lots of Internet site where you can order custom graphics at an affordable price. Examples of such sites include Ecover Design, Killer Covers, Monster Covers and eCover Geeks.

This may seem to be a lot of additional hassle but differentiating your product from the masses and giving it that professional touch can pay great dividends.

As people judge your products by their look and feel so Armand Morin recommends that you change the look and feel of your PLR product. You want to make it different from everyone else's. It's also important to give it that professional touch.

Internet Marketing - Armand Morin's Secret to Online Success

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 09:06:00 +0000

In a recent teleseminar Armand Morin spoke very candidly about Internet marketing. He said that while some individuals were glamorizing Internet marketing that:

"Running an internet marketing business is one of the toughest jobs you'll ever have. It's also one of the toughest jobs you'll ever love."

Only a small percentage of the millions of people online are actually making a significant income. Morin says the secret to online success is doing the right things in the right order.

He says that fundamentally there are two main ways to make money on the internet:

1. Selling other people's products and services, or
2. Selling your products and services.

He does not advocate on relying upon Adsense to make money on the internet when you are starting out. Income from Adsense is dependent upon your ability to drive vast volumes of traffic to your website as well as have a high percentage of that traffic actually clicking onto the ads on your site. The level of traffic generation and conversion to bring in any significant income for a beginner is a tall order and the pitiful results that a beginner can realistically expect can be very discouraging to a newbie.

It's important for anyone embarking upon any kind of project to experience some measure of success early on in the game. It is what helps to motivate the individual and what helps to keep them taking action to achieve better and better results. In Internet marketing your mindset is critical to your success and early success will help to boost your self-image and help to foster the right attitude and work ethic for Internet success.

So Armand Morin suggests that the best way to earn money online is through the sale of products and or services. If you don’t have your own products or services you can always become an affiliate and sell someone else's and doing this can earn you from 5-100% of the price of the item. Naturally, the upper end of the scale is a rarity. It is more customary to earn 50-70% of the price of the product or service and on big ticket items this can result in significant income.

However, marketing a product on the internet whether it is your own or someone else's requires the same amount of work. So Armand Morin recommends selling your own products for sale. If you baulk at the idea just remember that you don't have to create your own products from scratch.

A few way of getting around this issue are by using:

1. Private Label Rights (PLR) Products
2. Resell Rights Products
3. Public Domain Products

Private Label Rights Products

Very briefly PLR products allow you to make changes to them. You can often edit them and put your name as the author. You can also pick up packages of PLR products very inexpensively.

Resell Rights

Resell Rights products do not allow you to make changes to them. You have to sell them as they are. The price that you can sell such a product for is often specified as well.

If you obtain the Master Resell Rights to a product not only can you sell that product, you can also sell the rights to sell the product.

Public Domain

Public Domain products are those created from material that was not copyrighted in the first place, whose copyright has expired, or is uncopyrightable. You can take such material and an example of this is Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich.

However, public domain material is not restricted to literary works. It also includes art such as posters, photos, music, even Government reports. So there is a wide range of material to choose from. However, you do need to do your research thoroughly and make absolutely sure that the material you have selected does indeed fall into the public.

Alternatively, you could simply outsource your entire project. You can use sites such as Elance, Rentacoder and Guru to find and hire ghost writers, web designers, graphic designers and programmers.

So if you're not inclined to create your own products you can choose one of these three routes to get started to building your online business. It may be a tough business to be in but it can also be very rewarding.

Writing the Perfect Sales Letter - the Basics

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 13:43:00 +0000

Here's a 7-step plan recommended by Armand Morin for writing the perfect sales letter:

1. Headline
2. Shocking statement
3. Tell your story
4. Introduce the problem
5. Agitate the problem
6. Give your solution - your product
7. Introduce your product

Let's take a look at the first and last of this 7-step plan.

The headline is the most important element of a sales letter. It is the first thing a person will see when they land on your website and it plays a critical role in whether a prospect will continue reading your sales copy or whether they will click away.

Many great copywriters will tell you that 90% of their time is spent on the headline because it is fundamental to the success of a sales letter. Changing the headline alone can dramatically affect your sales. Armand Morin said that a change in one of his website's headlines resulted in an 800% increase in sales. Sounds almost unbelievable but other Internet marketing experts and copywriters can also attest to such statistics.

Armand Morin also gives a basic template for a headline which is:

"If you want to do this, this and this then this is what you will receive."

Alex Mandossian's headline for his main sales page for Teleseminar Secrets is a classic example of this.

"If you're an entrepreneur, independent professional or small business owner, I encourage you to find out why my Teleseminar Secrets training is absolutely your fastest, easiest and most economical way to…"

He clearly identifies his target audience and then gives three irresistible hooks - 'ease', 'speed' and 'save money'. Also, notice the use of the three dots at the end of the headline. These draw your eyes downwards to the eight benefits of Teleseminar Secrets that he lists below.

Internet Marketers use multiple ways to increase the stickiness of their websites because they know they have mere seconds to convince a person to stay or click away. Hence, the use of graphics, colour, audio, video, font size, etc.

Alex Mandossian uses a relatively small font size in his headline - just 14px - and the headline is written in sentence case for Alex is talking to you, seducing you with his words. In this case it's very effective.

Now for the main part of your sales letter - point 7. When you are introducing your product Armand Morin recommends "chunking" or writing in segments. Each chunk is capable of standing alone but it also flows into the next chunk and provides a compelling reason why someone should buy your product.

In other words it describes the problem that your product will solve. After each chunk you ask for the sale. Therefore, you will end up asking a prospect to buy your product 7-8 times. If you only ask a person to buy once then if they say "no" you are left high and dry.

There's an art and science to copywriting and research has shown that, for the average person, you have to ask for the sale at least 7 times to close the sale. If you only ask for the sale once you really are shooting yourself in the foot.

You have to understand what happens mentally when a qualified prospect reads your sales letter. They are interested in your product and if they are continuing to read your sales letter their interest is increasing but as soon as you ask them to buy their interest drops. You are trying to persuade them to get their credit card out while they are thinking of reasons not to spend money.

But they stay on your website and continue reading so you give another compelling reason to buy. Their interest starts to rise but again drops when you ask for the sale. However, if your copy is working, the resistance to buy is not as great. Can you see that with a successful sales letter a person's interest will therefore climb in saw tooth fashion until they click your order button?

The trouble is you don't know what reason will trigger the buying response. This is why you need to ask multiple times. Software exists so you can actually track the effectiveness of your order buttons and this data can help you to improve the conversion rate of your sales page.

You also have to convince a person why it is important to buy your product NOW, TODAY. You have to think that your prospects will never come back and so you have to pull out all the stops while you have your prospects in front of you.

There are two main ways to persuade a prospect to buy now. One is to make your offer time-sensitive, e.g. you can have special bonuses that are only available for a limited period. You can also have a limited quantity of your product. For instance, you may be promoting a membership site that you want to restrict to a limited number of individuals.

So there you have it, some of the basics that go into creating that perfect sales letter. While I have only skimmed the surface of this topic, the beauty of this is that even if you applied just one thing from the information provided you can still dramatically increase your conversion rates and transform the bottom line of your business.

Affiliate Marketing Case Study: eBookGenerator Software

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 13:30:00 +0000

Armand Morin now has a collection of 15 great GeneratorSoftware Products. However, he had somewhere and the first of his products was EbookGenerator which is a simple to use software program designed to enable you to create ebooks with that professional flair.

Other benefits of this versatile software include:

1. It enables you to create ebooks that you can let others brand allowing you to create a viral ebook, and

2. You can disable your ebooks to prevent unauthorised use of your ebook.

But back to how Armand Morin went about promoting this software.

He sought out 500 Internet marketers that had a newsletter whose subscribers would be potentially interested in ebook creation and then he contacted each one and gave them a copy of ebookGenerator asking them if they would promote this program.

As a result of this, 175 individuals signed up as affiliates. Armand had his first affiliate sales team. To become an affiliate each one of these individuals had to visit his website and enter their name and email address.

Now Armand could contact his team of affiliates and send them promotional tools and offer them on-going affiliate training. This is the secret to building a formidable affiliate sales team.

Although, initially, giving away so many copies of eBookGenerator was a large financial outlay, it set-up a win-win situation as, from here on:

1. Every sale of this product generates profit for Armand,

2. Buyers get the use of a great product complete with tutorials and lifetime upgrades, and

3. His affiliates earn a commission with each sale.

eBookGenerator is just one of four Generator Software products that you can get when you purchase Internet Marketing Explained. It is also just one of many other great bonuses which you can find out more by clicking HERE.

How You Can Use An Affiliate Program To Increase Traffic To Your Website And Crank Up Your Sales

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 08:16:00 +0000

According to Internet Expert Armand Morin, if you have a great product, creating your own affiliate program is one of the best ways to increase traffic to your website.

Note the proviso - "if you have a great product". Armand Morin says that many Internet Marketers create good products but they fall short of being great. You need to ask yourself:

"How can I make my product stand out from the competition?"

"How can I give my product the WOW factor?"

You want your product to be so good that people will tell others about your product without compensation. Recall an occasion when you experienced a product or service that you just couldn't help but tell people about it.

At this point you may be scratching your head thinking how can I make my product great? Often, this boils down to doing something that your competitors are not doing or are unwilling to do.

Also, this is one occasion where thinking small, rather than big, can be to your advantage because it is in the attention to detail that you will be able to make your product outstanding. You will be amazed at how small changes that you probably think don't matter very much can result in significant increases to your conversion rates and your income.

So, if you have a great product you should definitely consider setting up an affiliate program. Just imagine what a sales force of 10, 20 or even 100 or more all promoting your product and or service can do to increase your profits as opposed to you going it alone.

CAUTION!

Armand Morin advises that before you even think of starting an affiliate program you MUST know the conversion figures for your website. This is a question that any affiliate worth their salt will want to know.

Now a 1-2% conversion rate is okay but make those small changes, tweak and improve your opt-in page, your sales letter, your graphics, etc. and push your conversion rate to 3-5%. Now you have the foundation for developing your own affiliate sales force.

Now when you set up an affiliate program please don't just give your affiliates a link and say "Good hunting". Give them a range of promotional tools to use - emails, blog posts, articles, reviews, banners, text ads, etc. It will help them get started immediately and without a range of promotional tools to start out with (I say "start" because your affiliates will want to change and personalise many of these promotional materials) your affiliates will become discouraged and look for better affiliate programs.

So here's the thing. You need a great product and an affiliate program to match. You also need to pay generous commissions. Forget the measly 5% - who wants to put in all that work for such little reward? The best affiliate programs will pay you upwards of 50% of the product price. Now you're talking! And it's worth it to you because even if you only get 50% of your asking price, it's a sale you may not have otherwise made. Plus you get a new customer that you can continue to build a relationship with and market to. Affiliate programs can help you to build a highly responsive list FAST!

You also want to pay your commissions on a regular basis. I know of one affiliate program that pays on a daily basis. You make a sale and "kerching!" - you've got money in your account. In this way good affiliates can make money fast and that's a great motivator.

Another motivator is to have a competition for your affiliates. They just love the friendly rivalry. Competitions work best for product launches and for items that have a limited shelf life such as seminars or other events because obviously you can't sell tickets for an event that is finished. So get some fabulous prizes and keep your affiliates posted of changes in the ranking tables. It's interesting to watch the jostling of positions as the competition unfolds and to sometimes see a late starter surge to the front.

It also creates a learning experience for your affiliates because they get to see who the top affiliates are and the methods they use. Now while blatantly copying their methods may not be to an affiliate's advantage, seeing how others approach that particular campaign can give them new ideas of things that they can try out next time. Analysing these case studies will also help you to improve your marketing campaigns.

However, I'm sure you can see that while having an affiliate program is a great way to increase traffic to your website and boost your sales, that managing it can be quite time-consuming. The solution is to have an Affiliate Manager. If your cashflow is somewhat limited to start with, you could simply offer them a higher commission on their sales.

Even with an Affiliate Manager it is important that you remain involved in your marketing campaign. It's important for you to build your relationship with your prospects, customers and affiliates but having an Affiliate Manager will help to free up your time so that you can do this more effectively and, of course, start thinking about your next great product.

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 15:47:00 +0000

You may have read somewhere or heard somewhere that Google penalises, i.e. score your website lower in its Search Engine ranking, for having Duplicate Content. Some individuals have interpreted this as having the same content on your site as on another website, e.g. having your article in multiple places. However, Armand Morin, the Internet Expert behind Internet Marketing Explained disputes this.

To add credence to his case he takes an example from Google itself. Google News, he explains, is nothing but Duplicate Content. It is simply an aggregate of news from other sources and is described by Google as follows:

"Aggregated headlines and a search engine of many of the world's news sources."

Other Internet news agencies such as Reuters and CNN are also news aggregators and they certainly are not penalised in the Search Engine rankings. According to Google, Duplicate Content generally refers to:

"…substantive blocks of content within or across domains that either completely match other content or are appreciably similar."

So you will be penalised in the Search Engine rankings if, on your website, the exact same content appears more than once.

However, don't worry about your articles appearing in multiple places and don't be concerned about printing your articles on your website or blog as well as submitting them to article directories. Certainly, you want to have fresh, original content on your websites but the wider the circulation for your articles the better if you want to drive traffic back to your website.

Article marketing is a great to generate traffic to your website but not everyone enjoys writing articles and, if you have several websites, it can become very time-consuming. Don't worry, help is at hand. There are a wide variety places on the net where you can get ghost writers for your articles and you will be pleasantly surprised at how inexpensive it can be.

In my last article I mentioned Article Marketer as one place where you can get custom-written content for your website or blog. Here are a few other places (listed alphabetically) you can try:

1. ConstantContent
2. Elance
3. Guru
4. Rentacoder

Armand Morin, the Internet expert behind, Internet Marketing Explained, recommends Digital Point Forums as another place where you can find writers.

Time-Saving, Cost-Effective Way to Drive Traffic to Your Website

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 11:02:00 +0000

New web traffic generation techniques are being developed all the time. The problem is that some of these techniques may not be around for long. In a recent teleseminar Armand Morin, creator of Internet Marketing Explained, cautioned against using such techniques which amount to nothing more than tactics that will probably be rendered useless in six months leaving you high and dry. Instead, he advocates using basic tried and tested methods. They may not be "sexy" but, when done properly they are highly effective.

"Create traffic systems that don't stop."

One such traffic generation strategy is article marketing. This involves submitting an article to an article directory. An article directory is a suppository for articles and they provide content for other websites, ezines and blogs. They generally cover a wide array of topics so they are sites of high content - just what Google likes. Hence, your article is likely to rank high in the Search Engines.

The beauty of article marketing is that each of your articles will have a resource box at the end where you get to promote yourself and your product or service. Any website, ezine or blog subsequently publishing your article has to keep this resource box intact. Your articles can reach far and wide and they become part of the fabric of the Internet generating traffic to your website in the short and long term. A single article can result in thousands of back links.

However, many people may be put off by the thought of writing an article but the thing is you don't have to write your own articles. There are individuals out there in cyberspace, ghost writers, who will write articles for you and it doesn't have to cost a lot. You can pay as little as $2 for a 400-500 word article.

The next thing about article writing is that for maximum effectiveness you should be doing it consistently and ideally on a daily basis. Some writers submit 2-4 articles a day to Article Directories but some Article Directories have restrictions on the number of submissions you make.

Also, you don't want to be submitting articles manually. There are article submission software packages on the market - forget them. It's just too time-consuming. You have to register with the various ezines to which your article will be sent. You have to know the criteria for submitting to the various ezines. They tend to be fairly standard but, for instance, there may be differences in the number of URL links you can have in your resource box. Most directories will accept at least two but there are a few that only accept one. Trust me, manual submission is a pain.

Armand Morin recommends using a submission service like Article Marketer. I use this service myself and so can attest first-hand to the quality of their service. An article submission service will also ensure that your article makes the grade and that they are no issues with formatting that might cause your article to be rejected.

With Article Marketer you also get a report for each of your articles in distribution outlining:

1. The number of times your article has been submitted, and
2. Where it has been submitted

Plus the service also provides you with your article ranking for:

1. Google,
2. Yahoo,
3. MSN, and
4. Ask

Article Marketer also provide an article formatting service and a ghost writing service making it a one-stop shop for article creation and submission.

What's more it's a very affordable service. If you pay quarterly it's just $79.99 every three months. If you're just starting out or want to test the waters they even offer a FREE partial distribution. So it's well worth checking out.

How To Have An Amazing 2008 By Trading Products For Dollars

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 17:55:00 +0000

Even if you're filled with doubt, fear, or uncertainty and creating your own product feels like pulling teeth, you can have an amazing 2008 by trading products for dollars.

I can show you how to get it done even though you don't know if you're doing it right. Even though you might be making mistakes. Even though you are following a less than optimal process.

By Marlon Sanders

I'll never forget writing my first newsletter.

It took forever. I never dreamed I'd be able to do one monthly.

The first time you do anything, it's like pulling teeth. Sometimes you sweat bullets. You feel like you'll never get it done. You make lots of mistakes. You feel uncertain about every little detail.

This is what STOPS most people from HAVING their own info products. They let doubt, fear, indecision, and uncertainty stop them from getting it done.

Yet, this IS the path to having a great 2008. Finding a way to get it done anyway. Because it DOES get easier. It really does.

By the end of 2008, you will either be trading your own personal time for dollars. Or you will have a product of your own that you can trade for dollars.

Once you learn the process, you can bang out new products in a week or two. Maybe even less. But to get to that point, you have do it 3, 4 or 5 times. And the first few times will be tough. Hard. Almost like pulling teeth.

That's life. It's called a "barrier to entry." It's what STOPS people from doing it. Which is a good thing. Because if everyone did it, the opportunity would be greatly reduced as I explained in Red Factor.

What I CAN tell you is it gets easier.

The first newsletter I wrote took almost a month. The second one took something like two weeks of sheer agony. The third took a little less time.

Soon it was a week, then three days. Then a day or less.

Don't get me wrong. I still find those four to eight hours difficult and even agonizing at times. But at least those feelings only occur over four or eight hours and not a month!

My first products sucked. They took forever and weren't easy. I made a bonus video where I showed a few of my first info products.

One was a booklet on "How to Avoid TV Repair Rip-off." I spent six months or so working on it as I recall. Whew!

Here's something I want you to understand: You WILL feel UNCERTAIN when you do your first anything. You won't have all the answers.

The people who make it plow THROUGH uncertainty and do it anyway. Others let it stop them.

Now, my Product Dashboard is an uncertainty reduction process. I try to remove a LOT of the uncertainty. But you can't totally eliminate it. You have to plow through it and get things done anyway - even though you are uncertain. Even though you're unsure. Even though you don't know if you're doing it right. Even though you might be making mistakes. Even though you are following a less than optimal process.

You do it anyway.

It gets faster. It gets easier. It gets simpler. It becomes less painful. It can even become fun. Although I can't say I'm at that point. I don't wake up in the morning and go, "Oh boy, instead of shopping today (like I do almost every day) I'm gonna create a product!"

I don't do that.

I'd rather be shopping. Rather be at a coffee shop or bookstore.

But the whole process DOES get easier and simpler.

What's more - is SURE beats working 8 hours a day at a J.O.B.

You work once on a product and get paid over and over and over on it. Instead of working 8 hours and getting paid for 8 hours.

What I offer you is an uncertainty reduction process called "The Product Dashboard." It helps but doesn't totally eliminate the fear of screwing up, fear of making mistakes, fear of feeling or looking stupid.

THOSE are the reasons most people don't have info products.

THOSE are the emotions and feelings you have to overcome.

If you're really struggling with that, if you're the kind of person who knows WHAT to do and HOW to do it but you don't just DO IT, then I highly recommend Anthony Robbin's 30-Day Personal Power Program.

Yeah, that's the one. The one he used to pitch on late night TV. You can even buy it on Ebay.

It will give you that kick in the tail end you need to get it going. I highly, highly recommend it.

Why? Because at the end of the day you either trade your time for dollars or products for dollars.

And trading products for dollars is a lot better choice.
