A List Building Strategy that's working extremely well for me.

I have not posted on this forum lately; but today, I'm going to share with you the list building strategy that's working extremely well for me. I'm going to keep this really short and simple. Do not ask me to provide proof of my earnings or links to my squeeze pages as I'm not here to sell you anything.

Here are some of my list building dos and don'ts -

** For the giveaway, I rarely use a report that can be downloaded right after they opt in as a high percentage of subscribers will opt out the minute they get their hands on your report.

I usually buy a high quality plr and turn it into a 7 to 10 day e-course. I do not use the PDF format to deliver the course. Instead, I do so via a wordpress private blog. I create a page for each day of the e-course. As I create these pages, I do some rewriting - such as changing the titles and headlines; and writing a small, one paragraph intro or summary of the page. I do not use a membership site.

If you need to know how to keep your blog private - from being indexed by search engines - the video below will show how.

** I never redirect people to an offer the minute they opt in. To me, list building is about developing a relationship with your subscribers; sending them to an offer immediately after subscribing is not the best way to start building that long-lasting relationship. I find that waiting at least until the third day before I make them an offer work best in the long term.

Since I only use high quality giveaways, I give them the option to get immediate access to the rest of the course (on the third day) for at least $7.00 ($17-27 if it includes professional, HD videos). I make this offer on the email that goes out to let them know that day 3 has been added to the blog; and at the bottom of that particular e-course page.

__________________________________________________ ________

Here is a trick I learned from the writer of "The 4 Letter Killer", David Bullock; according to David, this eBook was downloaded over 260,000 times. He was great at keeping his subscribers active, happy and anxiously waiting for his next email. I know this for a fact, I was one of those subscribers for over 5 years.

His offer would be something like this: "Hello Frank, I hope you are having a wonderful day. I found something that can really help you with your online business. This system is so good that I decided to buy the rights to it so I can share it with you. Click the link below for complete details. P.S. Don't forget to click on the elephant at the bottom of the page for a nice surprise."

When you clicked on the elephant (pink, purple, blue; don't remember the color), you would be taken to a Paypal payment page where the price would be $10-$20 less than the advertized price. I found myself clicking on that darn elephant and buying his products every Friday morning; our relationship lasted until he stopped sending emails 6 years later. I suspect that there were thousands of elephant clickers on his list.

Later, I found out that the "exclusive product" he bought just for me were resell rights items from the Unselfish Marketer membership site; but this didn't upset me for they were of high quality and I always learned something from them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

** On the squeeze page, I always use two fields - First name and email address. Personally, I think that if you want to develop a relationship with your subscriber, you need to make them feel that they are more than just an email address to you.

** For my squeeze page - I use the one that comes with the product or I develop my own using OptimizePress. Most of the private label rights products I purchase provide excellent marketing material. I also use Presell Crusher to create presell surveys landing pages.

** On day 1, I tell my subscribers how important it is for them to stick with the e-course 'til the very end; they get an introduction to the course; my promise to them; what to expect over the next few days, etc. Day 1 is basically a sales or presell letter to the course. It works great! Sometimes, I get emails asking if they can buy the entire course right after they have read Day 1.

** I keep my promises. On my squeeze page, I promise that I'm not going to share their info with other marketers, and I keep it. I keep this promise by not doing ad swaps or selling solo ads.

** I only email my list two times per week - Freebie Tuesday and Bargain Friday. On Tuesday, I sent them something that is related to the course for free. I make sure the info is good before I send it to them. On Friday, I sent them an offer. It could be my own product or a high quality resell rights products.

** I do promote clickbank products within the e-courses. Especially the ones with rebilling. I tell my subscribers that they will be added to a mailing list once they make a purchase; I also remind them that they can get a refund within 60 day and can opt out from the seller's list any time they wish to do so.

** My favorite niche is online marketing / mmo as it offers so many products you can offer; but there is one that I really enjoy, it's the dog training niche. I recently developed a course from an e-book and mp3 I purchased 6 years ago. It's a 15 day course, but by the third day I give the subscriber the option to pay a small price to have immediate access to the rest of the course; I get a lot of takers to this offer - and of course, I practice that "David Bullock thing". I have a picture of a dog at the bottom of the sales page and tell them.... Click on my doggie for a nice surprise"; two things happen when they click on my doggie, 1 - they get a $10 discount and .... 2 - I hear my cash register going crazy ... ching!-ching!-ching!

** I usually buy a new domain name for each course and install wordpress on the root domain and subdomain. The root domain is for the landing and presell pages; the subdomain is for the private blog I use to deliver the course.

** How I promote my e-courses - For each e-course I develop, I create a fan page, a youtube channel and a slideshare account. My goal per day is to upload at least 5 videos to youtube and facebook and 5 presentations to slideshare for the first 7 days. I upload the same videos to youtube and facebook; the power point presentations is basically the same info as in the videos. After 7 days, I have 35 videos on youtube, 35 on facebook, and 35 presentation on slideshare sending free traffic to my e-course squeeze page. Recently, I started buying bookmarking and blog posting gigs from the Warriors For Hire forum and this has greatly increased my traffic and opt ins.

How long does it take to upload each e-course? In less than a day I can have the e-course, fan page, youtube and slideshare account done. I could do much better - but my love for netflix's sci-fi movies will not let me.

About my video marketing - My videos and presentations are not spammy; I do provide useful information. I never had any of my videos banned or deleted by youtube. I use youtube's creative commons on a daily basis. Youtube cc has some great videos that you can use as your own without worrying about copyright infringements. They even provide you with an online editor so that are able to add an intro and ending with your info to these videos. Below is the link to the youtube creative commons video editor.

https://www.youtube.com/editor

As of today, I have 15 e-courses uploaded and getting me subscribers on a daily basis. My initial goal was to get at least 10 subscribers per e-course - per day. I have achieved that - and more. I have found this to be the best and fastest way to $100 per day online.

To get started, you'll need a hosting account, an autoresponder and a high quality plr product. I stay away from free autoresponders - as they are not really free.

If you have any questions - other than asking me for one of my links - don't hesitate to ask.

I leave you with this.....

** As a marketer, you will always be building a list - whether you want to or not. If you are not building a list of your very own .... then .... you are building the lists of the owners of the products you are promoting. Which list do you want to build?

Best Wishes, Frank

      Awesome information Frank. I love the idea of letting them get the first part free then having to pay for the full course. Maybe another way to do this is give a condenced overview version that covers everything and provides value then have a full course that goes deep into each subject.

      Anyways,
      Thank you

      Hi Chaudhary,

      Most of my private label rights products on online marketing / mmo come from jvzoo and the warriors special offer forum. I look for plr products that can be given away for free in exchange of lead. Most high quality plr sellers don't allow you to use it as web content, but will allow you to use the content on a membership site or private blog. When the plr license does not allow me to use the product as I need to, I contact the seller and offer to purchase better rights. I rarely get turned down when I explain how I'm going to use their product.

      Regards, Frank

        Hi Franck
        Your technique is very interesting.
        I have 2 questions:
        How do you find the Free PLR on JVzoo in exchange for leads?
        I promotes offers, and when I use their originals squeeze pages or sales pages, they usually have an optin where they get my leads anyway, unless I do my own squeeze page and built up my list with my option.

        Thank you

            What I was actually trying to ask, is how technically Frank is dealing with the PLR owners when it comes to exchange a free PLR against the lead's list.

            Thanks

                Hi Jacko - Thanks for your question. The developer of Presell Crusher have several videos on youtube that shows everything you need to know about the product. It's very simple to use. You just ask questions and give people the option to answer yes or no. Once they are done answering the questions, you can redirect them to an optin form or offer.
                Best Regards.

          Hi Walt - I think you misunderstood my post. The plr that I get from JVZoo are not free as I have to pay for them. My subscribers get it for free.

          Some plr licenses state that you cannot give the product away as a freebie and even provide a suggested price. Technically, when you ask for an email address in exchange for the plr product, you are not giving it away for free.

          You should always have people optin to your own list before redirecting them to an affiliate offer page; otherwise, you are spending your time and money to build the list for the owner of the affiliate offer.

          Best Regards,

    Hi,

    You could create a 7-10 day e-course out of those you just shared!

    Well done this will go down well with your reputation as someone who gives
    real value to his followers.

      Hey Jason - the best thing about the e-course approach is that you are building a relationship with your subscribers on autopilot. Once you set up your e-course the rest is easy. There is no need to write big follow up emails during the first 7-10 days - or ever for that matter. My follow ups emails are short, personal and to the point.

      ______________________________________________
      Here is an example,,,,

      Hello John -
      I hope you are doing great.
      Just wanted to let you that I just uploaded day 3 of the ____ ____ training.

      Here is the link....

      If you have questions, please post them at the bottom of the page
      and I will answer them as soon as possible.

      Best Regards,

          Frank places the e-course content on private blog pages that are not indexed by Google.

          Also the URLs for the pages are not going to be obvious, such as part1, part2, etc.

          Hi Issyvee - Peter answered your question above. The pages URLs are sent via emails. The only links you will see are links to pages that you have already viewed. For example - if you are up to day 3, you will see links back to day 1 & 2.

            I think there's a setting in the WP Dashboard where you can choose to have the search engines to either have access or not to the pages, by turning it on or off. Correct me if I'm wrong Frank.

          I like to sign up for other marketers lists and see the subject lines and style they use as a baseline. Of course you can always hire a copywriter to write a 7 day AR series for you as well. Just tell them about your product or e-course and what you are trying to accomplish.

          Like the example above, just keep it personal and simple.

          You will need an autoresponder; aweber or get response will do; both offer free 30 days trial.

          If you are new to list building, you need to spend time doing research. You will find everything you need to know on this forum and on youtube - absolutely FREE. Go to youtube and enter keywords such as "how to build an email list", "how to create a sales funnel", "how to setup your autoresponder". etc. In a few days, you will learn a great deal - without spending a dime.

              Here are three things you must do ...
              1- Use your blog to build a list.
              2- Choose a niche that people wouldn't mind sharing with their friends. For example, no one is going to share a penis enlargement, how to treat yeast infection or how to cure herpes blog or fan page with their friends.
              3- Interact with your subscribers. Answer their questions and concerns.

                Hi Frank. Great thread. I especially like how youe are building a saleable asset in the process.

                One question. For each of your ecourses: do you use your own name, a pseudoname or a handle? I'm especially interested in the context of selling the sites at a later date and not having to introduce a new owner to everyone.

                  Hi Mark - Appreciate your words. I use pen names. For the e-courses I recently traded (golf and gardening) , I introduced the new owners as admins because they wanted to use their real names.
                  Regards, Frank

      Hi Parg,
      I use the creative commons videos for my youtube and facebook accts only;
      Some of these videos are really great and it only take a few minutes to edit and add them to my youtube acct. I get plenty of views and traffic to my landing page from them.
      Regards,

    These are great tips Frank.

    I'm sure that this leads to more responsive, hungry subscribers that anticipate the email that is coming.

    I used to provide the download link to the course right after they opt-in and I paid dearly for it.

    The result was a dead list.

    Now, I've changed to put the content in the email, and since then I've been getting more responsive subs.

    I usually don't give an offer until the15th day.

    List-building is all about the relationship, so build that trust early on!

Do not ask me to provide proof of my earnings or links to my squeeze pages as I'm not here to sell you anything.

    Here are some of my list building dos and don'ts -

    ** For the giveaway, I rarely use a report that can be downloaded right after they opt in as a high percentage of subscribers will opt out the minute they get their hands on your report.

    I usually buy a high quality plr and turn it into a 7 to 10 day e-course. I do not use the PDF format to deliver the course. Instead, I do so via a wordpress private blog. I create a page for each day of the e-course. As I create these pages, I do some rewriting - such as changing the titles and headlines; and writing a small, one paragraph intro or summary of the page. I do not use a membership site.

    If you need to know how to keep your blog private - from being indexed by search engines - the video below will show how.

    WordPress Tutorial - How to Block Your Site From Search Engines in WordPress - YouTube

    ** I never redirect people to an offer the minute they opt in. To me, list building is about developing a relationship with your subscribers; sending them to an offer immediately after subscribing is not the best way to start building that long-lasting relationship. I find that waiting at least until the third day before I make them an offer work best in the long term.

    Since I only use high quality giveaways, I give them the option to get immediate access to the rest of the course (on the third day) for at least $7.00 ($17-27 if it includes professional, HD videos). I make this offer on the email that goes out to let them know that day 3 has been added to the blog; and at the bottom of that particular e-course page.

    __________________________________________________ ________

    Here is a trick I learned from the writer of "The 4 Letter Killer", David Bullock; according to David, this eBook was downloaded over 260,000 times. He was great at keeping his subscribers active, happy and anxiously waiting for his next email. I know this for a fact, I was one of those subscribers for over 5 years.

    His offer would be something like this: "Hello Frank, I hope you are having a wonderful day. I found something that can really help you with your online business. This system is so good that I decided to buy the rights to it so I can share it with you. Click the link below for complete details. P.S. Don't forget to click on the elephant at the bottom of the page for a nice surprise."

    When you clicked on the elephant (pink, purple, blue; don't remember the color), you would be taken to a Paypal payment page where the price would be $10-$20 less than the advertized price. I found myself clicking on that darn elephant and buying his products every Friday morning; our relationship lasted until he stopped sending emails 6 years later. I suspect that there were thousands of elephant clickers on his list.

    Later, I found out that the "exclusive product" he bought just for me were resell rights items from the Unselfish Marketer membership site; but this didn't upset me for they were of high quality and I always learned something from them.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ** On the squeeze page, I always use two fields - First name and email address. Personally, I think that if you want to develop a relationship with your subscriber, you need to make them feel that they are more than just an email address to you.

    ** For my squeeze page - I use the one that comes with the product or I develop my own using OptimizePress. Most of the private label rights products I purchase provide excellent marketing material. I also use Presell Crusher to create presell surveys landing pages.

    ** On day 1, I tell my subscribers how important it is for them to stick with the e-course 'til the very end; they get an introduction to the course; my promise to them; what to expect over the next few days, etc. Day 1 is basically a sales or presell letter to the course. It works great! Sometimes, I get emails asking if they can buy the entire course right after they have read Day 1.

    ** I keep my promises. On my squeeze page, I promise that I'm not going to share their info with other marketers, and I keep it. I keep this promise by not doing ad swaps or selling solo ads.

    ** I only email my list two times per week - Freebie Tuesday and Bargain Friday. On Tuesday, I sent them something that is related to the course for free. I make sure the info is good before I send it to them. On Friday, I sent them an offer. It could be my own product or a high quality resell rights products.

    ** I do promote clickbank products within the e-courses. Especially the ones with rebilling. I tell my subscribers that they will be added to a mailing list once they make a purchase; I also remind them that they can get a refund within 60 day and can opt out from the seller's list any time they wish to do so.

    ** My favorite niche is online marketing / mmo as it offers so many products you can offer; but there is one that I really enjoy, it's the dog training niche. I recently developed a course from an e-book and mp3 I purchased 6 years ago. It's a 15 day course, but by the third day I give the subscriber the option to pay a small price to have immediate access to the rest of the course; I get a lot of takers to this offer - and of course, I practice that "David Bullock thing". I have a picture of a dog at the bottom of the sales page and tell them.... Click on my doggie for a nice surprise"; two things happen when they click on my doggie, 1 - they get a $10 discount and .... 2 - I hear my cash register going crazy ... ching!-ching!-ching!

    ** I usually buy a new domain name for each course and install wordpress on the root domain and subdomain. The root domain is for the landing and presell pages; the subdomain is for the private blog I use to deliver the course.

    ** How I promote my e-courses - For each e-course I develop, I create a fan page, a youtube channel and a slideshare account. My goal per day is to upload at least 5 videos to youtube and facebook and 5 presentations to slideshare for the first 7 days. I upload the same videos to youtube and facebook; the power point presentations is basically the same info as in the videos. After 7 days, I have 35 videos on youtube, 35 on facebook, and 35 presentation on slideshare sending free traffic to my e-course squeeze page. Recently, I started buying bookmarking and blog posting gigs from the Warriors For Hire forum and this has greatly increased my traffic and opt ins.

    How long does it take to upload each e-course? In less than a day I can have the e-course, fan page, youtube and slideshare account done. I could do much better - but my love for netflix's sci-fi movies will not let me.

    About my video marketing - My videos and presentations are not spammy; I do provide useful information. I never had any of my videos banned or deleted by youtube. I use youtube's creative commons on a daily basis. Youtube cc has some great videos that you can use as your own without worrying about copyright infringements. They even provide you with an online editor so that are able to add an intro and ending with your info to these videos. Below is the link to the youtube creative commons video editor.

    https://www.youtube.com/editor

    As of today, I have 15 e-courses uploaded and getting me subscribers on a daily basis. My initial goal was to get at least 10 subscribers per e-course - per day. I have achieved that - and more. I have found this to be the best and fastest way to $100 per day online.

    To get started, you'll need a hosting account, an autoresponder and a high quality plr product. I stay away from free autoresponders - as they are not really free.

    If you have any questions - other than asking me for one of my links - don't hesitate to ask.

    I leave you with this.....

    ** As a marketer, you will always be building a list - whether you want to or not. If you are not building a list of your very own .... then .... you are building the lists of the owners of the products you are promoting. Which list do you want to build?

    Best Wishes, Frank

      Hi Raelyn -
      My private blogs are really membership sites, but without the monthly subscription fees. Since there are no monthly fees, people don't drop out. I don't push them into buying anything; I let the content do the selling for me. I provide valuable and up-to-date info and get thanked over and over for it. I make sales on a daily basis from these private blogs by inserting links within the content. When you read an online newspaper or magazine, you are going to see blue links leading to related stories. I use the same techniques and they really work.

      Here is an example.....

      "making sales online ...blah...blah...blah... creating your own blog ...blah...blah...blah... (The best converting website ever? See my results!). and more......blah...blah...blah...

      When they click on the link, they are taken to a post that has an image of my cb earnings per hops that are extremely high. I give them a brief overview of the system that can show them how to develop websites that make sales; I add a link for them to click and next thing you know... there are $44 on my cb account - from just one or two hops!

      Free membership sites do work. Do a search on google for "top earning blogs" and you will see. If people would copy what the owners of these blogs are doing, they could be doing just as well if they stick with it for a year or two.

      I have been doing e-courses for many years. My first one (2001-2003) was on network marketing training; it had over 40,000 subscribers. It helped me launch 3 hugely successful inhouse programs that kept me busy and making money for almost 9 years.

      Best Wishes,

      Hi Niles - They get the entire e-course for free. Most of my money comes from sharing links to cb products (see my post above).

      On day 3, I give them the option to buy the course if they want immediate access to all the pages.

      As the list grows, I get more and more people wanting immediate access to the entire course the same day they join. Because of this, I have been thinking of moving the full access option to day 2.

    Hi, Frank.. Thanks a lot for your thread..

    Making an e-course is a great thing to keep our subscribers reading followup emails..

    Do you use single or double opt-in??

    I did it it a couple times and the results is my list become more responsive.. Even after the course finished and i started to send broadcast/newsletters, they keep opening and my CTR went to 5-7%..
    I always use single opt-in, (except for buyers list..)

    Just wondering if the CTR can be higher when using double opt-in??

      Hello jfalxr,
      I use double opt-in and let them know that they will be getting their access info to the course by email. When I used single opt-in in the past, I was getting too many spam complains.

    Thanks a lot for the share.

    I picked up 5 different ideas that I can take action on right away.

    I was thinking of changing my follow up anyway and you gave me some good ideas.

    Have you ever thought of adding adsense to your blog to add some extra revenue?

    I started sending all my non T1 subs to blog posts with adsense and the resuts have been very good. Just a thought.

    Well better get to work on this! Thanks again

      Hi - I'm happy you got some good ideas from this thread.

      About adsense - A few years ago I created 50 blogs hoping to make $1-$5 from adsense per day per blog. Only 5 of those blogs went on to reach my desired income goal; and those were the blogs that I updated with a new post at least once a week. The ones that I didn't update -- because I was not interested or didn't know much about the niches -- only made about a buck a month.

      Thanks to adsense, I developed what I call the "Adsense Mentality". In other words, I'm still building a whole bunch of sites every time an ideas comes to mind. No so long ago I wanted to create a cb product reviews site. The adsense metality took over and I went on to built 10 of them. The ones that I worked on once-in-while (3 of them) made money on a regular basis; the rest ... a few sales here and there.

      The same thing happened when I decided to going back to creating e-courses. I went on to create 15 of them and found myself unable to manage all of them. I had to train a part-timer to provide support and answer questions. My first e-course had over 40,000 subscribers and helped me launch 3 fabulous programs - but once again - thanks to my adsense mentality - I forgot that 1 blog could make as much money as 15 of them - if you stay on top of it.

      The way you are using adsense is one of the best ways to do it. But also, don't hesitate to add an affiliate offer to your post. It could be the difference between making $5 a day or $50 per day.

      Don't use banners on your post as most people suffer from "banner blindness". I'm one of them; I don't even read banners any more. Instead do your links like I show on post #18 above.

      Have a great day.

      - Frank -

    How would you apply this to a postcard marketing for dentists business...where I would be looking for ways to build a dentist list for future postcard mailing opportunities?
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[9351232].message }}

      Hi there - As usual, I going to tell you a little story before answering your questions. I do have lots of stories to tell.

      Postcards are my all-time favorite way of building a business. It's also how I met my second wife. To this day, I don't know what impressed her the most about me; my good looks or the fact that I had a big a$$ stack of $1 bill piled up in front of me. hahaha.

      During the mid 80's and late 90's, I built 2 huge mlm downlines (Life Plus and Changes International) mailing two of the most response-getting postcards ever. I was mailing about 60,000 postcards per month myself and asking for $2 to cover the cost of mailing them the package. The $2 request was also a way of separating the good prospects from the freebie-seekers. I was also sending out packets on behalf of my organizations. Every time I went to the post office, the clerk would hand me a box full of letters - each containing 2 bucks. Each packet was costing me about 46 cents for printing and mailing.

      My next thread will be on how I built an offline affiliate program in the early 90's.

      And now to answer your questions. If you are going to be providing a service to dentists, you can contact them by email messages and by postcards. Your email and mailing list can be compiled by doing a google search (dentists in new york , etc.). Google will provide you with a never ending list of prospects.

      Most businesses will not respond to emails, Some get hundreds of spam per day and it's more than likely that your message will be treated as a spam - and deleted with the rest. I for one will never purchase anything from people who send me unsolicited emails - and there are lots of business owners who feel the same way.

      Postcard mailers get treated better. I get a postcards once a while and if the offer can be useful to my business, that postcard will stay at my desk for a while.

      I always used yellow stock paper for my postcards. I tested different headlines and bullet points until I found the pc that was getting the most responses.

      Compiling your mailing list - you can use MS Word's Envelope and Labels tool - which you can find under the mailing tab. Use the 30 per sheet label template. You can find 30 names to mail to within the first 3-5 pages of your search. You can get peel-and-stick labels at walmart or any other supply store in your area. Adding the names to labels and getting ready the postcards to be mailed can be done in 30-45 minutes (maybe less). You are going to find that it might take several mailings before a person order from you; thus, mailing to the same list more than once will work.

      Do one website per niche. Try to sell them a service they would need on a monthly basis. The cost of printing and mailing 1000 postcards can be less than 40 cents per card (.34 cent stamp and about .03 per card). Make sure that one order from your mailing can cover these expenses. Don't order the postcards from your local printer. You can get them for much less online.

      Most off-line wso sellers will tell you that you can get rich by sending 30 unsolicited emails per day; I think that you would probably do much better by sending 30 postcards per day - as postcards will be kept a lot longer than spam emails.

      Take care, Frank

        During the mid 80's and late 90's, I built 2 huge mlm downlines (Life Plus and Changes International) mailing two of the most response-getting postcards ever. I was mailing about 60,000 postcards per month myself and asking for $2 to cover the cost of mailing them the package. The $2 request was also a way of separating the good prospects from the freebie-seekers. I was also sending out packets on behalf of my organizations. Every time I went to the post office, the clerk would hand me a box full of letters - each containing 2 bucks. Each packet was costing me about 46 cents for printing and mailing.

        My next thread will be on how I built an offline affiliate program in the early 90's.

        And now to answer your questions. If you are going to be providing a service to dentists, you can contact them by email messages and by postcards. Your email and mailing list can be compiled by doing a google search (dentists in new york , etc.). Google will provide you with a never ending list of prospects.

        Most businesses will not respond to emails, Some get hundreds of spam per day and it's more than likely that your message will be treated as a spam - and deleted with the rest. I for one will never purchase anything from people who send me unsolicited emails - and there are lots of business owners who feel the same way.

        Postcard mailers get treated better. I get a postcards once a while and if the offer can be useful to my business, that postcard will stay at my desk for a while.

        I always used yellow stock paper for my postcards. I tested different headlines and bullet points until I found the pc that was getting the most responses.

        Compiling your mailing list - you can use MS Word's Envelope and Labels tool - which you can find under the mailing tab. Use the 30 per sheet label template. You can find 30 names to mail to within the first 3-5 pages of your search. You can get peel-and-stick labels at walmart or any other supply store in your area. Adding the names to labels and getting ready the postcards to be mailed can be done in 30-45 minutes (maybe less). You are going to find that it might take several mailings before a person order from you; thus, mailing to the same list more than once will work.

        Do one website per niche. Try to sell them a service they would need on a monthly basis. The cost of printing and mailing 1000 postcards can be less than 40 cents per card (.34 cent stamp and about .03 per card). Make sure that one order from your mailing can cover these expenses. Don't order the postcards from your local printer. You can get them for much less online.

        Most off-line wso sellers will tell you that you can get rich by sending 30 unsolicited emails per day; I think that you would probably do much better by sending 30 postcards per day - as postcards will be kept a lot longer than spam emails.

        Take care, Frank
        Thanks again Frank!

        The business is actually postcard marketing and direct mail, so I'm looking for the best way to build an opt-in list of dental practices interested in allowing us to do their future postcard mailing campaigns.

          Dental marketing is not an easy niche to break into, but nothing is impossible when you have a good marketing system in place. When you do a search on google for "dental marketing". the top of the page and right side are filled with ads. The suggested bid for the Dental Marketing keyword is $23.23. In fact, all the top keywords bids are over $20.00. If advertisers are willing to spend that much on a search term, then there is a lot money to be made on that niche.

          Best wishes, Frank

      How would you apply this to a postcard marketing for dentists business...where I would be looking for ways to build a dentist list for future postcard mailing opportunities?
      This is wholly dependent upon the product/service you will be marketing to them in the future. However if you structure your emails to be short, personalized, and inquiring about something (relatable to your product) -- then you will get responses.

      It might take more email exchanges to transition them into your funnel, but this is marketing to business, not consumers --- so you will have to slow things down, take your time to develop a conversation.

      I've had success by simply soliciting a referral for the decision maker there. Pretty straight forward: just ask who the best person is to answer your question about "x". For example, if I were marketing, say some accounting software for dentists that has some unique features that helps them handle past due accoutns, then I'd initially ask for a referral this way:
      "Hi,

      Who would be the best person there to ask a question about delinquent accounts?

      Thanks,
      Jim"

      Hello Stuart - that "elephant thing" works.

      I use a a dog. I didn't add it to my offer last week and didn't have many takers. One lady wrote back and asked, "where is the little pooch?
      I send a second email ... "sorry about my doggie. He is waiting for you now".

      Once you get your subscribers used to something, you need to continue doing it.

      Best Regards, Frank

      Hi Dan - Depending on the niche, I always find 10-20 videos that can be added to my channel. For some niches you are going to find less. I created and intro and closing for each e-course using camtasia and add them to each video I edit. For those who don't have camtasia to create the intro, windows moviemaker or power point video templates like the ones sold on the wso forum will work just as well. Also, the youtube editor allows you to add text at the beginning and end of the videos.
      Best Regards, Frank

      Hi there - I use squeeze pages for the e-courses and don't depend directly on google for traffic. Most of my traffic comes from slideshare and youtube; some from facebook. Recently, I added bookmarking and blog posting and that's bringing in a good amount of traffic (I buy gigs from the warriors for hire forum).

    Hi uwa223,

    Thanks for the great post. May I ask you some questions.
    I didn't understand the model.

    Do you provide a link to the post in your email every day and if someone purchase the course they can download it immediately.

    Or do you send them all links to the posts at once?

    I missed that part. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

      Hello Ivantk - your questions are are fine and they will help me explain what I do much better.

      "Do you provide a link to the post in your email every day and if someone purchase the course they can download it immediately." This is correct.

      Or do you send them all links to the posts at once? No;they get the link to the posts or pages one day at at time. If the e-course is 10 day long, the subscribers will get one email per day for 10 days.

      They only see the post and pages I want them to see. Each page will have links to past pages. For example: the day 4 page will have links to page 1, 2, 3 in case they missed the email from previous days.

      Regards, Frank

        I also have a question.

        I know your ecourse is posted to private pages, but since you have subscribers opting in every day/week/month, I'm sure your entire course is already on your site when people are opting in, so when you give them the link to day 1, can't they just go to day 2, day 3, etc? Couldn't they figure out the links to the other pages right away, without having to wait? Is there something about private pages that I don't know?

        Or, how do you keep new subscribers from accessing the later days of the course if it is already posted to your blog?

        Thanks

          Hi Tony - Not many of my subscribers will ever find the post or pages ahead of time. For example - I would never name the page "mysite(dot)com/day1", etc. Each page is named differently and so far they have not been indexed by search engines. If someone finds the hidden pages and it makes their day, I'm happy for them. I don't worry as much as I used to about people finding my download page.

    Here is a question for you - Ladies & Gentlemen. You can thank me later. hahaha.

    What can the weight loss niche and your e-course (any e-course you can think of - kite flying, bird watching, dog training, make money online, getting your ex back, etc.) do for you?

    Here is the answer: "Make you a ton of money!!!"

    Here are some facts you need to know:
    -68.5% of your subscribers are overweight.
    -34.9% are obese.
    -6.4% are extremely obese.

    (*From the U.S. Prevalence of Adult Overweight and Obesity report - NHANES 2011-2012)

    Weight loss is what I call a universal niche. The same term applies to the make money online niche.
    There are two things most people on this planet want: (1) they want to look sverte and (2) they want to have money in their wallets.

    One of my dog training course subscribers was talking about her lazy and overweight husband. I closed my eyes for a moment and imagined all the money coming into my clickbank account thanks to her. Armed with the above facts, I posted my "how I lost 15 pounds in 30 day" story I wrote 5 years ago and within the hour, the green bar in my cb account started getting bigger and bigger. That post is available for every one who joins; and sales are coming in on a daily basis.

    It cannot get any better than this ----- My dog training course is selling weight loss products for me!
    Life is great!!

    Yeah, that's is absolutely correct. There are no untargeted visitors for the weight loss niche. And it will become even better in the next years.

    By the way, I am gonna try this method for gaining subscribers and selling products, it is simply great!

    I am also thinking what if I create several related courses and give an upsell offer to the subscribers to get all courses for XXX. You can also get creative by offering them the reseller rights for even better price.

    I think it is possible to cash a lot more form the same amount of subscribers that way.

      Hi Ivantk - Here are 2 things you need to do before you start your e-course/blogging adventure...

      1 - Read post #18 about the "adsense mentality". I created 15 blogs and e-courses; when all I needed was just one or - maybe - two. It took me 15 weeks to develop these blogs, e-courses, promo videos and slideshare presentation. If I would have built just one blog and used the other 14 weeks to work on it, I would probably be earning just as much - be less tire and have more free time to do other things. I did accomplish my goal of 10 subscribers per day per blog from free traffic.... but all this work took its toll and until a few days ago, I felt totally burned out.

      2. Go to google and enter "top earnings blogs - make money online blogging" and you will see that there are people earnings fabulous incomes with just one blog. Many are earnings over $100.000 a month. You can learn a lot by visiting and spending time studying these blogs. If you choose the right niche and work diligently and intelligently for the next six month, you could be earning a life changing income by then. It may not be as big as the $2,330,000 per month the owner of the Huffington Post is making, but $2,330.00 per week is not impossible.

        Thanks again! I know this for a fact, because during the yeas I've created many websites and only few were successful. But you never know what is successful and what is not until you created it.

        Paid traffic is a good way to test it fast and if it works continue working.

        I've started building my audience a month ago and I really liked your method for modernization. It is an honest method and your subscribers won't mind.

    Hey Frank. Epic post. Just a question about the facebook fan page and videos that you post on them. Do you use the fan page and go out and get likes with it or do you drive traffic to it. Just wondering with a new page and 0 likes how does it help your traffic? Maybe I just don't understand the fan pages. I know with youtube it will show up in searches. Not sure with facebook.

      Thanks John - I have many fans pages with lots of fans. By just posting a link on one of these pages, I can get 100s of fans for a new fan page. I also add the fan page link to each video description and slideshare profile. There are many ways to get likes for your fan page without spending a dime. If you do a search on youtube, your are going to find lots of of videos on how to get free traffic and likes for your fan page. Make sure to never use pay-for-likes websites or fiverr gigs. They are just a waste of time and money.

    Another question for you about list management Frank. I have lists colliding with lists and it drives me a little crazy sometimes. I just want to combine them all haha. When you have a new subscriber for a course do you have two lists for them one for the course and one for the freebie tuesday and bargain friday or is that part of your auto-responder messages. My problem is that I have a list that I have so many auto responder messages it would take a new subscriber 9 months to reach the end but i feel one day some of the first messages may get outdated. I hope you understand what I am getting at here.

      Hi John - I know the feeling. A few years ago I loaded my autoresponder with 52 newsletters; a short time later, the programs I was promoting decided no to continue the affiliate programs.

      With the e-courses, I don't have this problem. My follow ups are simple emails letting my subscribers know that the info they've been expecting is now available. If the e-course is about twitter marketing and twitter releases a new update, all I need to do is edit one or two blog pages - instead of a whole bunch of follow ups.

      I have two lists per e-course; freebies and buyers. When a subscribers buy immediate access to course or another one of my products, they get added to the buyers list and deleted from the freebie list. The autoresponder does this automatically.

      I have been thinking of discontinuing Freebie Tuesday as I'm already providing plenty of free info. Bargain Friday adds cash to my paypal acct every Friday. They are not part of the follow up sequence.

      I hope that I provided the answers you were seeking; if not, don't hesitate to make another post.
      Best Regards, Frank

      • Hi Frank

        Great thread you've started here. I'm a bit late to it but just spotted this comment you made a while back.

        " I know the feeling. A few years ago I loaded my autoresponder with 52 newsletters; a short time later, the programs I was promoting decided no to continue the affiliate programs."

        I've got a tip that I thought would be helpful. Although it would be expensive if you're promoting multiple products, it does work if you're only promoting a couple.

        Buy a cheap .info domain. You can get them from GoDaddy from about $1.99. You can also get their Baby Plan Hosting which allows you to host multiple domains for about $6.00 per month

        Have that domain re-direct to your affiliate link. (which is very simple to set up with any hosting provider in about 2 steps).

        For anyone reading this that doesn't know, you just go to "re-directs" in your hosting account.

        Choose the domain name you want to use.

        Where it says " re-direct to" ( or words to that effect) just enter in the whole url of your affiliate id i.e. youraffiliuateid.stopnoise.hop.clickbank.net/ReverseYourTinnitus!

        (Your full url affiliate ID would include the http://www. etc of course )

        So when your subscriber clicks they are re-routed via that domain name before hitting the page where your affiliate product is.

        If for any reason you can't/don't want to/find a better product to promote all you have to do is go into your hosting account and change the affiliate id you want it redirected to.

        Then all of your links in ALL of your content, whether it's on a blog, in a PDF, in an email message will automatically redirect to the new affiliate product.

        Saves loads of time trawling though all your content and changing links manually for every link.


        Thanks for all your valuable information

          Hello Debbie,
          Thank you so much for your tips and ideas.

          At the time of the 52 newsletters, I was promoting one of the hottest weight lost program on clickbank. The idea that they were going to discontinued the affiliate program never crossed my mind. Shortly after, I turned the 52 newsletters into an e-course and the results were much better.

          I use public and private blogs in all my list building methods. I never send leads directly to an affiliate offer as I'm not in this business to built the affiliate program owner's list. All my leads (paid or free) go through a sign up form and blog before they see an affiliate offer.

          As you said, buying .info domain is quite inexpensive - until you have to renew them. You can save yourself all that extra money by just buying one domain, building a blog and using a link cloaker plugin such as pretylinks to cloak your affiliate links.

          Having a blog is probably the easiest way for building a relationship - and keeping your subscriber engaged.

          A blog helps me keep all my follow up messages short; instead of writing those long email messages that can take a long time to write, I write a brief follow up message and send them a to a blog post where I would be able to add links to other offers (as I show in post #18).

          Having a niche blog to build your list is like killing two birds with one shot; (1) building your list (2)while building web asset.

          Once again, thanks for your post.
          Best Wishes,
          - Frank

    No that answers my question. I'm happy to hear the frustration that others have also. Haha. I have been doing broadcast only lately and has been doing fairly well. Just trying to find a way to keep all subscribers in my list but be able to tag them maybe with AWProtools when they purchase something. That way I can exclude them on certain emails. I like your idea also. Gotta test the waters for a little while.

      Hello Raelyn - Please excuse me for taking so long to respond.

      I don't attach any images to my emails (but you can if you wanted to). The image of my dog is at the bottom of the sales letter - close to the product price).

      On the email messages, I use postscripts. Something like this ....

      "P.S. Don't forget to click on my doggie at the bottom of the page for a really nice surprise. You will not be disappointed!"

      I also use it on offers placed on the pages of the e-courses.....
      "Do I need to remind you to click on fido?"

      I have tested this by not adding it to some of my offers and people do write back asking, "Where is the doggie? Is there a discount?"

      Once you get your subscribers used to this and leave it out of an offer, they will contact you.

      Postscripts not only work great for sales pages, but they work great on email as well.

      A short email message with a postscript works for me almost every time. I leave the long stuff for the e-course pages.

      Raelyn.... My very best wishes to you.

      - Frank

    1. Thanks a million for sharing this info...which I may consider like a WSO package. I hope you get the reward for sharing.

    2. I have questions as well. After you completed let's say 7 days of e course, what happen to your list? Will you after that broadcast promotions or continue creating other ecourse?

    3. Another question is related to post #48. I don't quite get it. Do you mean that you offer your exisiting list something else like weight lost to build a new niche list? Which means from MMO to weight lost? Hope you can please enlighten me on this.

    Thanks a lot again. Can't wait for new update from you.

      Hi Alzack,
      What I do after the 7 days over - or however long the course is - is to continue providing valuable information to my subscribers. For my dog training e-course, I can go on posting good content for many years to come. I have a hard-drive full e-books on dog training and maybe about 1500 articles on the subject as well; thus, I have more than enough content to keep my subscriber happy for many years into the future. When I need content, I 'll take an e-book and go through it and if I find something interesting, I would consider adding the info to the member's area. I just don't add it as is; I make changes to it; I make the info more personal. If I'm not sure the info is correct, I search for reliable sources. My subscribers have labeled me an expert and that labeling is keeping my paypal, clickbank and amazon acct quite busy.

      About post #48 - Although, I have an e-course on weight loss, I have never shared it with the people who joined my dog training blog. You could if you want to, but for now, I won't.

      When one of my subscribers opened the door for me by telling the group how lazy and fat her husband was getting, I jumped on the opportunity and shared my weight loss success story with the group. I posted my story and linked it to an expensive clickbank product with a very low refund rate. That post is still making sales on a daily basis - and it has nothing to do with training fido. But there are statistics that say that about 70% of the population is overweight - which means that 70% of my dog loving subscribers need to lose a few pounds as well. My clickbank account is showing me that my assumptions were correct.

      Thanks for your questions,
      Frank

          Hi Alzack,
          I have nothing against solo ads sellers, but I wouldn't do it myself; no matter how much extra money I could make at the end of the month.

          The things that I'm sharing here with you, are things that I've learned over the years from being on several lists that had 200,000-300,000+ subscribers - not from the guys ad swapping or solo mailing me to death. These big list owners kept their promises and never exchanged my information with others. And because they kept their promises, I trusted them and continued buying products from them for a very long time. These are the people who would send an email on a Friday and end up with $30k in their Paypal accts that same day.

          When I tell my subscribers that I will not share their info, I keep that promise.

          My family, my friends and the people who join my list trust me because they know that.....

          "My WORD is my BOND."

      Hi Javisito,
      Like I said on the post above, I don't do solo ads - but have nothing against those that earn their money that way.

      If you do things right, you will not have to do solo ads with this list. Once you get this type of list building in motion, you will get a plenty of sales from your members area without sending any emails.

      I would suggest that you keep your solo blast list and the e-course list separate.

      Have a wonderful day,
      Frank

        With a few exceptions, we've found Tuesday to be the best day for sales. Not entirely sure why. Might be worth a test to swap the freebie with the bargain...

        BTW Love the story.

          Hey Terry,
          I think bargain Friday had something to do with fact that Friday is payday in most places. Saturday - Tuesday are my most profitable days when it comes to clickbank products.
          Have a nice weekend,
          Frank

    About a week or two ago.... I said that I would share a case study, but what I'm about to share with you today, cannot be qualified as a case study. I'm going to call it a feel-good-story. I think I told you guys how I love telling stories.... right? Here's another one.

    About two months ago, I overheard my neighbor telling his wife to stop feeding the strait cats from the neighborhood because she was spending money that could be used on something more important. She has been married to this grouch for over 40 years and probably has not enjoyed a full day of happiness during those 40 years. Feeding these cats is about the only thing she enjoys in life and now the grouch wanted to end that as well. I felt the need to do something about that; because I also like cats. They say that owning a pet will extend your life by many years.

    I asked her if I could help her feed the cats since I also was a cat lover myself and she promptly agreed. That very same day, I went to the store bough two large bags of purina cat chow and several toys and these homeless cats are now happier than ever!

    She's always snapping pics of the cats with her cell phone and sharing them with her family. I told her that it would be easier to share her photos with everyone if she had a facebook acct. She said that all her kids and grandchildren were on facebook, but that the "grouch" thought it was a waste of time. I told her that I would help her set up an acct in a few minutes and all she had to do was spend a few minutes a day sharing her pics and staying in touch with her friends and family. I helped set up her profile and showed her how to upload photos and search for friends and family. A week later I looked at her profile and her list of friends had grown to over 200! Her photos of cats were bringing lots of visitors and requests

    She didn't know it just yet, but she was on the way to earning a nice monthly income - for doing something she loved doing. To get her started I said, "do you know that there is a way for you to get your cat food for free?" and she responded, "Frank, I hope you are not trying to recruit me into another mlm deal." I assured her that it had nothing to do with mlm and that within a month or two, she would be earning several hundred dollars per month. The "grouch didn't like the idea, but we went ahead anyway.

    We created a fb group and a fan page first. A day later, we bought a domain and set up two blogs - one public and the other private. The auto responder would come later since she was building a list of fans and group members on FB already. I showed her how to join other groups and fan pages. She posted valuable info and photos on these groups' walls and started getting others to join her group and fan page. Her group has over3000 menbers and her fan page is getting 50-100 likes per day from people who enjoy her stories and tips.

    After two weeks of getting sick from hearing the grouch complaining all day long, the first sale came in from a cb product that pays about $17 commission. This set her on fire! a week later, she had 2 back-to-back $100 day - $101 from clcikbank and $127 from amazon. I almost fell of the chair when she asked if she could switch the name of the accounts to her husband's name because when they got married, he told her that she no longer needed a bank account of her own. I told her it was too late and that she would have to open an account of her very own.

    To end this story before it gets any longer.... this past month she earned over $800 from amazon, cb and from an ebook she is selling for $7. And now she has several hundred fans waiting for her next ebook - after she posted on her group and fan page wall, "how I'm earning $800 a month from home doing something I really love and enjoy". And to think that 60 days ago, she didn't know anything about fb, forums or making money online.

    What about you? What's your story?

      Great story, great sharing. This case study alone can be valuable since it may contain some specific step by step approach. Hope there is a more detail story of this case study.

      You are very kind to help her Frank.

    This is PURE GOLD.

    And giving all this away for free? You are truly THE MAN!!

    Thanks for this one, its given me some ideas I'll be implementing right away and tracking the results. This adds more value than probably 80-90% of any list building WSO that's been released here...

    And I gotta thank Phill Wess for posting the link to this thread up on FB or I would have skipped right over it (hell, I did already for the last few weeks since you posted it!)

    Thanks again man, appreciate you sharing your experiences with all of us!

        This is great advice for someone like me who has never started a list before, thank you verymuch for sharing and no wonder you have a lot of subscribers if this is the info you give away!

        A few questions when you get a moment...

        1) I am starting my first list. Would you recommend giving away a high quality PLR product with some tweaks or a brand new made fro scratch information product? Want to start off the right way and not look like a jerk giving away crap or old outdated content and I do have money to spend on this if necessary.

        2) I see above in your e-mail example you address them by name, do you actually type out your e-mails or does the auto-responder service plug in their name?

        3) How many hours per day on average would you say you spend on engaging your list and adding/creating content? I work a FT good paying job but would like to get a steady extra income stream going and PPC/PPV did not work well for me, I just didn't have time for all the split testing.

        4) Since you are using e-mails and blogs do you use tracking? Since their are no landing pages or squeeze pages is there anything to track other than your website traffic?

          Hello DreamTFK - below are the answers to your questions.

          1) I use a high-quality plr product and update it or make changes to it as I post the pages (as explained in post #1). If you are good at writing, then you can write your own material, but I prefer to do some testing before using my time to write a product from scratch. You can use the product you create as an upsell to the product you are giving away. I always improve the quality of my plr products by adding graphics and rewriting headlines, introduction, and adding a summary at the end.

          2) The auto responder takes care of this when you request their name on the signup form.

          3) I usually work 4 hours - more or less - per day on the e-courses. I do have an assistant that is doing most of the work these days. I like the e-courses because it is one of the best and easiest ways to build a relationship with your subscribers; keep them engaged.

          4) I do use a squeeze pages and landing pages to get people to sign up for the e-course; I could be doing more tracking , but mostly use the tracking provided by the autoresponder and hosting.

          I'm glad you like the thread and thanks for the nice words.
          - Frank

    Hey Frank,

    your post really was literally mind blowing. I had just written the whole strategy for my new website and after reading that post wiped the whole structure and notes from the whiteboard. You gave me that final touch on how to combine website + membership (free) + autoresponder sequence.

    I haven't tried it yet, but the strategy makes perfect sense and actually works (for you, and I'm sure for many others)

    So thank you again for sharing all that value selflessly.

    Best luck,

    Phill

    Selecting the right e-course when getting started.

    You need to choose something that your subscribers and fans will be happy to share with others. If your e-course is about curing yeast infection or herpes, you are not going to find too many people willing to share this information with their friends; I make good money promoting these types of products using pay per clicks, but you will never find me sharing or liking fb pages or groups having anything to do with these health issues. If you do, it's almost like admitting that you are infected. Not me! No siree!

    The same applies to the make money online opportunities. People will not share your fan page or posts with their friends on facebook. I guess they are afraid of what their friends would think. If you were to create a fan page on this niche, it's not going to be easy to get fans as you will have to get most of the fans yourself.

    Here are 3 things I do before launching an e-course -
    1 - I search the clickbank marketplace for a niche or product that people wouldn't mind liking or sharing on facebook. As and example we will search the self-help category; We like the law of attraction niche.
    2 - We go to facebook and search "law of attraction" and see that there are pages that have hundreds of thousands - even millions - of fans. I'm willing to bet that most of these fans were referred by others. The owners did some work at the beginning and then these pages went viral.
    3 - I look for a good plr product on the subject and rewrite it as I create the blog pages. I find that rewriting is easier for me as I post the article or chapter. I also like to do it in the morning when my mind is rested.

    It is that simple.

    Hi Frank, Great post that really does give an excellent model to implement. I have been doing a number of experiments and coming to the same conclusions. You have short cut my journey by more then 12 months of further trial and error I would guess. Thanks again!

      I'm glad you have found this thread helpful. There are not too many shortcuts to making money online; building a list is one of the few available. There is nothing better than being able to send an email and see the money coming into your account a short time later.

      For me this is a 3 year plan. I do not see this as a way for making money fast; I see it as shortcut to an early retirement; a condo or house by the sea.

      Here is a perfect example of how much people are willing to pay for these blogs once they are established.......

      On May 9, 2005, Arianna Huffington launched the Huffington Post, a news aggregator blog. At first the content were rss news feeds and copying and pasting articles from online newspaper and magazine - nothing original.

      On February 05, 2011, AOL wanted her blog and was willing to pay over $300,000,000 - 315 millions to be exact. It all got started with an inexpensive domain, hosting and some rss feeds from news sources - and six year later, she sold what she started for about the cost of dinner for two for 315 millions!

      A few weeks ago, a good friend needed money and sold 3 of her blogs to a private buyer for over $90,000. She created these blogs about a year or so ago and together they earned her less than $3000 per months. The person who bought them was willing to pay 30 times more than these blogs were earning.

    Fantastic post. The forum needs more of this. Here are some followup questions for you:

    1) Are you using upsells/downsells after your sales?

    2) Are you offering any type of coaching or high ticket items deeper into your relationship?

    3) You mentioned you have 15 e-courses and each one has it's own unique Fanpage, YouTube, Slideshare, domain, etc. I'm curious why you're approaching it from this angle instead of building one universal brand/domain with the landing pages located in sub-directories or WordPress pages. Is it for SEO? It seems like it's more work building these e-courses from scratch each time.

      Thank you Jesus -
      I pretty much follow the same procedures I posted here with all my list building strategies.

      I never send subscribers to an offer as soon as they opt in. I do have one or two offers on the download page. If the free offers is about facebook ads, I will have an e-book for $9.95 and HD video course for $27.00 - both offers are related to the free offer.

      I make sure that what I offer free is of high quality. I usually give away the best chapter of my ebook or the best video of my video course. Right below the download links, I tell them, "if you liked this video, you can get the rest of the course by clicking here. etc."

      At this time, I'm not offering any coaching. I spend most of my time traveling and don't have the time to set up a coaching program. Most of the product I sell are in the $9.95 to $97.00 range. I rarely get any refund requests as I don't make absurd income promises. My product would not do well on forums as my headline would not be found attractive by most members. This is what sells on most forum..... "Make $10,000 a month working just 10 minutes a day - no website or list needed." These sellers are telling the buyers what they want to hear: Make big money overnight without having to do any work. People just love to be told that they don't have to build a website to make big money online.

      I have 15 e-courses - soon to be 13 as I'm exchanging two of them for a 1974 Corvette T-Tops. I had the same model in NYC back in 1987 and really enjoyed driving that car. My neighbor and his wife are getting my golf and gardening blogs and I'm getting the corvette he wanted to sell me for $35,000. The blogs will keep them busy and making a nice monthly income for doing something they love. She has one the most beautiful garden I have ever seen and he gives golf lessons to seniors.

      I used separate domains because I plan to sell these blogs in 2-3 years. Once the initial set up is done the rest is much easier. I have a local girl working part-time for me. It only takes a few hours per day to to update the blogs, answer questions and post new offers.

      I hope I answered all your questions,
      Frank

    Another success story ---
    Another friend started a blog about the 15 best places to visit while on vacation in her country. Most of her earnings come from charging hotel and resort owners for being on the top 15 list. Her blog is very popular and she is making about $30K a month from it. The resort at the top of the list is paying her $5,000 a month to stay there. This blog is worth over $250,000 today; but she will not sell it. She started it about 3 years ago; invested about $30 for domain and hosting the first year; all the images she used at first came from public domain sources.

    Monetizing your blog -
    One of the best ways to monetize blogs is by creating product rank lists; such as:
    "10 best rated tablets", "3 top selling cell phones". best mountain bikes", "5 best microwave ovens", best rated washing machines", etc.

    You are taught to use the name of the product as your title, but most people are not searching for product names when on google. If they are looking to buy a camera, they will enter something like "best rated digital camera" - rarely would you see someone searching for "Nikon D3200 24.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera Review".

    Just about all of my blogs make me money from these rank lists. The best thing is that I'm not even reviewing these products. I do a brief description of each product - consisting of 100 to 150 words per product - which I take from the product's sales page.

    This is one of the easiest way to make money from your blog

    Thanks, Frank. More questions if you don't mind. I'm trying to fill in the gaps.

    You mentioned:

    Recently, I started buying bookmarking and blog posting gigs from the Warriors For Hire forum and this has greatly increased my traffic and opt ins.
    Care to share any of the bookmark or blog posting providers? It's hard to find good ones. Also, are you linking straight to your blog, or to your YouTube, Facebook and Slideshare properties?

    Do you feel you could pull off your traffic strategy without Facebook and only SlideShare and YouTube?

    What's your FB posting strategy like (besides uploading the videos)?

    After the 35/35/35 are submitted in the first week, what does your maintenance schedule look like? It sounds like you're uploading daily to YouTube but what about the others?

    The YouTube Creative Commons part threw me off a bit. Can you expand on that? I understand what CC is, I just don't understand how you're using it in YouTube to expand your business.

      Hello Jesus - I stay away from recommending seo service providers on forums. You should do a search for the services you want on the Warriors for hire forum; bookmarking, blog posting, etc. There is one gentleman that I'm going to be buying seo services from in the near future. His user name is GyuMan82 and his thread has over 70 pages of comments and reorders. Reading his opening post and the last few pages of his thread will help you make a wise decision. Once again, I'm not endorsing any seo service providers. I'm just giving you a name - the rest is up to you.

      On facebook - I think every business should have a page. I have not spent any money on fb ads for my e-courses, but I'm getting a good amount of traffic to my landing pages; mostly from subscribers sharing my e-courses with friends and family. You can create a fb page, add a few posts and images to it in less than 20 minutes. I get a lot of traffic from my youtube channels and slideshare presentations. By listing my fb page on these properties, I'm getting lots of visitors to my fb pages. I use a like gateway as my fb landing page.

      After the initial work is accomplished - maintaining these blogs and properties is keeping me busy for at least 4-6 hours per day. You can do a lot in 4 hours if you concentrate on what needs to be done. During those 4 hours, I let the answering machine answer calls, I do not check my emails or get on fb to see what my friends are up to. It's all about accomplishing my daily goals. The same applies to the young lady who works with me. We switch jobs on a daily basis. One day I work on fb and youtube and she would works on the public and private blogs.

      On fb, you must keep people engaged. We spend about 15 minutes per page each day; answering questions, thanking fans for their comments and posting something of interest. On youtube, I upload 1 video per week to each channel, thanks people fro their comments and remove spams.

      Below is a video tutorial for using youtube's creative commons. Since this video was made, youtube has made some changes to their menu and interface.

      To get to the creative commons area, you need to log into your account. Click on "Upload" and then on "Video Editor" to access the creative commons videos.

      The video below is not mine, but I'm sure you will find it helpful. Do a search on how to use creatives common videos as there are plenty of tutorials on the subject.

      You mentioned:



      Care to share any of the bookmark or blog posting providers? It's hard to find good ones. Also, are you linking straight to your blog, or to your YouTube, Facebook and Slideshare properties?

      Do you feel you could pull off your traffic strategy without Facebook and only SlideShare and YouTube?

      What's your FB posting strategy like (besides uploading the videos)?

      After the 35/35/35 are submitted in the first week, what does your maintenance schedule look like? It sounds like you're uploading daily to YouTube but what about the others?

      The YouTube Creative Commons part threw me off a bit. Can you expand on that? I understand what CC is, I just don't understand how you're using it in YouTube to expand your business.

    Hey Frank,

    Cool thread and super info you've shared.

    When you have your bargain day every week how do you seek out these -10$ offers? Do you contact vendors and ask for a discount for your list or do you offer a product you own every week at a discount?

    Also these videos you upload every week are they powerpoint recordings with info or do you go out and shoot videos on how to train your dog, grow the most beautiful roses, perfect your golf swing...?

    Thanks in advance and love this thread you started, you provide more free value then what is sold on most BS wso's, just my 0,02$

      Hey Liquid Ice,
      On a post above I stated that I work 4-6 hours per day on these blogs, but these hours are spent on maintaining them only. I do spend more hours per week preparing offers, specially for blogs that have to do with online marketing. I buy the rights to resell products that offer good values. I don't mind spending $50 to $100 purchasing the resell rights to a products that can make me money for the long term. I also use high-quality plr products. I'm not talking about crappy plr products here; These plrs are of great quality and just one of them can keep your business going for several years.

      For blogs that are not about Internet marketing, I use mainly resell rights products as my offers. I also rely a great deal on products sold on amazon. If my blogs is about "best places to enjoy a nice vacation", I would sent emails about cameras, sun glasses, things that people might need while on vacation. These blogs would also have posts or pages such as "5 best digital cameras", "best cell phones and tablets to take with you while traveling". etc.

      My video are mostly powerpoint presentations with inserts from other videos. I edit videos from youtube creative commons that are related to my blogs. After I'm done editing these videos, they really look good. I have an intro and a call to action for each of the e-courses that I use when editing these videos.

      There is a video on one of my post above that can show how to do these things.

      Thanks kind words,
      Frank

    Hi Sandytuff. I'm glad you like what I'm sharing. I don't mind sharing what I know and what's working for me. But as I stated on the first post, I'm not here trying to get people to optin to my list or to buy something from me; therefore, I will not be sharing any links to my blogs or fan pages on this thread.

    I'm getting questions by pm on posts # 107 and 108 and decided to answer them here.

    1 - In your success story example of the 15 best places to visit while on vacation in her country, how many pages does the blog have to get $30k per month?
    At first, she only had a few pages as the blog was not originally set up to cater to hotels and resorts owners; most of the pages were added after the second year; now it has hundreds of posts, pages and comments from people that stayed at the places she recommends.

    2 - Is there a large email component to the blog or is it mainly just the blog?
    She does have a nice size email list as she is giving away a free report and tips.

    3 - Is your friend with the travel blog selling an e-book or promoting affiliate programs?
    Like many marketers, she set up her blog thinking she was going to get rich selling a $7.00 e-book; when she didn't strike it rich with her ebook, she started promoting travel affiliate programs, but that didn't work either. She thought about not renewing the domain after the first year, but I convinced her to give it one more year; that I was going to help her earn a good yearly income from it.

    4 - How does she get her offline customers?
    I got her the first 5 customers; people who owned bed & breakfast and hotels that had less than 20 rooms or suites. I had stayed at these places on many occasions and most of the times, more than 2/3 of the rooms were empty. When I told them that I knew someone that could help them make an extra $5K-$10k a month for about $500 per month to cover ads feeds and other expenses, 5 of them send her the money a few days later.

    4 - Are you willing to give an example of the type of blog it is?
    As stated above, it's wp blog recommending cities, hotels and resorts.

    5 - Is she paying for traffic to the blog?
    Yes, she spent from $5k-$10K a month on press releases and fb ads.

    6 - With the blogs that were sold for $90k what made them worth 30 times their monthly rather than 10 times monthly incomes?
    She was not doing a good job of monetizing her blogs and I told her so. I made some suggestions, but she wouldn't listen. The person who purchased these blogs saw the potential to make much more than she was making.

    So Frank, how did you stumble upon this concept? Was it through testing ecourses vs ebooks? Or did you observe and mirror someone else's success?

    Also, when posting to SlideShare and YouTube, I suspect you're capitalizing on keywords. How do you find them and decide on the best ones to use?

      Hello Jesus - I chose e-courses over e-book as giveaways because I wanted to create web assets while building my list. The e-courses has helped me to accomplish both of these goals; plus, it has made it easier for me to build an engaging and long-lasting relationship with my subscribers - without spending most of the week writing long and tedious follow up messages.

      As for keywords - I use the google planner tool for keywords ideas. I also use ubersuggest.org, a free keyword suggestion tool. I prefer long tail keywords that are getting at least 1,000 exact searches per month.
      Best Regards, Frank

      Hi Gedeon - Thank you for your kind words,
      It seems like traffic is coming from everywhere these days.
      I do get a good amount of traffic - about 25% - from social bookmarking sites and blog posting. Youtube and slideshare have always been great for getting traffic to blogs. Facebook started slowly since I was not buying ads; but now I get a good amount of traffic from them due to my subscribers sharing my landing pages and blogs with their friends.

      I was not expecting much from google, but recently I have been getting traffic from them as well.

      Have a nice day, Frank

      P.S. I do spend about $25 per month per site for backlinking and traffic (mainly social bookmarking and blog posting.

    From a beginner to list building (who is struggling a little bit) I want to truly thank you for this great post. This gives me some insight and ideas to switch up the whole free ebook or report deal as I have watched what you explain happen. Get their gift... Log out...

    I have a question about follow-ups, as I am not a copywriter. What would you say is the best way to start forming a relationship through a follow up sequence? Everything that I have tried has just gone unopened.

    Thanks,

      HI Jeff - Establishing a good relationship with your subscribers starts with the product you are giving away in exchange for their email addresses. It needs to be of high quality. A lousy product will get you lousy results. If the initial product you use to start building your list is something that doesn't provide good value, you are not going to get many - if any - of your follow up messages read.

      There can be so many factors as to why your emails are not getting open. You need to analyze your list building strategies from beginning to end..

      You can start by asking yourself these questions ....
      "If I was the subscriber instead of the list owner, would I be satisfied with what I'm are getting for subscribing?"
      Am I delivering what I have initially promised on my squeeze page?
      Am I sending too many offers or too messages to these people?
      If you don't like the answers your getting, then you need to make the necessary changes.

      I would also suggest that you take time to improve your copywriting as it can be the difference between success and failure in list building / online marketing.

      Best Wishes, Frank

        Hi Frank,

        1. May I ask which salesletter formula (ex. AIDA) do you use to promote 'immediate' access to all e course pages (as oppose to your list just waiting for them via e mail)?

          Hi - I keep things simple. You don't need a long sales letter when you are offering a free course.

          I send all traffic to a squeeze page - this page includes a powerful headline and a list of benefits and results they will receive by joining the course.

          Not so long ago, I added a public blog to increase the value of each course.

              Thanks for posting all this Frank, you are a rockstar, someone down to earth, showing what he does, without trying to sell anything in between.

              I learned a few important things from you that will be very useful for my projects that are under development right now, especially as I wanted to give away free ecourses it's an excellent idea to spread that over 10 days.

              I like the doggie / elephant thing as well, though I won't be selling any informational products as I have my own products and services to sell, the guides are just the move in the right direction and once they seriously want to get started I offer all they need.

              I've seen creative common video's last night for the first time but I had no idea what they are for, now I learned from you anyone can use them, I searched my niche right away though no luck as it was a hell boring video with his website name mentioned many times, but well that niche is a very specific product so not too surprising, more surprised I could even find one on the topic so that means there are a LOT of such video's out there.

              Big thanks, you're making my life a lot easier now that I have a robust plan to go with!

    Is the strategy will be helpful for a soccer news website?
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[9444925].message }}
    • Profile picture of the author uwa223
      Hello Mike -
      None of my e-courses are on sports; thus, I cannot predict how this strategy would work for a soccer news site; but if you make the right offers to your visitors, they will subscribe. Since you love soccer so much, perhaps you can develop a good monthly newsletter for your subscribers.

      A few years back, I was selling sports tickets online and wanted to give away books or reports to bring customers to the site; the only plr book I found on soccer was "Soccer Fitness", which had to do with getting in shape or becoming soccer fit. I looked a few minutes ago and it's still available on some of the plr sites. Maybe you can improve this book and use it as your giveaway.

      If you are looking to rank for "soccer news", it might be a bit difficult. Unless you are there already, it might be hard to get on page one of google as the page is dominated by channels such as espn, nbc, national and international newspapers and magazines. But your site can still be a huge success - even if you don't rank within the first 10 pages. I, for one, don't worry much about ranking on page one as I don't rely on google for my traffic.

      Wishing you great success with your soccer news site,
      Frank

      Hello Johnec - Although this thread is not about looking at people's websites. I gave yours a look over and have some suggestions for you. I have worked with and owned several Spanish magazines - one about news in Colombia and Venezuela and the other was for men who wanted to marry women from Latin America.

      Here are some of my suggestions for you -
      1. The home page is too crowded. Look at other magazines or newspapers and see how their home pages are structured and redo yours. I would leave some ad space for Google Adsense.
      2. Your domain trafficnews.ec and main keyword, "traffic news", do not reflect the content on your site. When people search for "traffic news", they expect to find news about ground or local traffic, not a site on tourism and air traffic. Your main keyword gets 200,000 searches per month, but these people are not finding what they are searching for on your website.
      3. your other 2 keywords, which are related to your content, "noticias de turismos" and "noticias turisticas" are only getting 2900 and 880 searches per month. That's not enough.

      I suggest that you make your home page less crowded, get a better domain name and better keywords to help build a targeted list and get this website moving in the right direction.

      Another suggestions.... Build yourself a website about news in Colombia Venezuela and Ecuador and in 5 years you will be a millionaire. Two sites that were build a few years ago, Lapatilla.com and Dolartoday.com are each worth well over a millions dollar today.

      Noticias24.com was purchased by the venezuelan government because it was printing news against chavez. The word is that noticias24 sold for over $10 million dollars. It was started from home by a husband and and wife team for the cost of a domain name. The site lost have of its visitors in the last 3 years, but are still getting over 3 million unique visitors per month.
      Buena Suerte,
      Frank

      Hi Lukeguy - Thank you so much.

      I share a Netflix account with my son and all I hear all day is - "Dad, I cannot believe you watched that movie." After I gave "the creature from the black lagoon" 5 stars and it showed on his Facebook profile, he just couldn't take it anymore. The next day he separated the accounts.

    I have been receiving pm's with questions and I'm going to answer them here and share the answers with everyone.

    -- What are your plans for these sites?
    The plan is to sell everything in 3 years. It would be best if I could sell everything to one person. Two people I know sold their 5 blogs to 1 buyer 2 years ago for around $750k - then they went back to build some more blogs and now are ready once again for a huge payday - yes - once again!

    How much are you planning to sell them for?
    The final value will probably be based on the size of the list, the number of fan on fb, traffic and earnings.

    Are you using other list building strategies?
    Yes. I went back to this style of list building | e-courses around December of last year; but I have many squeeze pages that giveaway reports. These reports are not the "make $100 per day" types. I prefer to give away helpful info, my report might be something like "How to get an extra 100 visitors per day to your site - in 15 minutes or less per day". This report would tell them about bookmarking for traffic and provide a list of good bookmarking sites. I find that people appreciate this more than reports promising $100.s per day.

    Are they directed to an offer right after subscribing?
    No. After they opt in, they will be sent to a download page where I will have related offers. I never send them directly to an offer right after they've subscribed. But you don't have to do as I do. I just don't think that leading them to an offer right after signing up would be appreciated by your subscriber. I want to keep my subscribers for the long term.

    Is this the best way to build a relationship with your list?
    The main purpose of this strategy is not only to build a relationship with my subscribers; it is also to build web assets - web real estate - which I can sell for a great deal of money a few years later.

    People are getting rich selling established sites; you don't read about these people on flippa or on this forum. Some people are flipping sites right after building them, but if they waited 3 months, the same site could sell for 5-10 more money - and after 3 years, the same site can pay for a brand new car and/or a down payment on a house.

      Hey Frank,

      So these people you know all sold their sites privately? Never through Flippa or other action sites? Do they contact brokers or how do they find these buyers?

      Also the link to "the bucket brigade" on docstoc is only downloadable if you pay for a membership with them, is there another way you can share it?

      Thanks in advance,

        Hi Liquid Ice. I have only been able to sell a few sites I listed on Flippa. Some of the offers I received from buyers were ridiculously low. It seems like site buyers on flippa are looking for desperate sellers. If a site is making me good money, I'll keep it until I find a buyer who's willing to pay or come real close to my price.

        I sold many of my sites through brokers. I also sold some to my subscribers who liked the idea of blogging for money.

        About the Bucket Brigade ... I have a copy somewhere and if and when I find it, I will make it available. I was a member of docstoc at one time, but let my membership lapse. I recently read the entire 16 pages on docstoc without the need to becoming a member. You can click on "full screen" at the top of the document to make it easier on the eyes. I think the link to the Bucket Brigade is available on post #154.

        Best Regards, Frank

        The JVZoo marketplace and the Warrior Special offer forum are great places to search for plr products.

        I do not use videos for the e-courses. I use text and graphics and upsell the videos as an upgrade.

    Hi Frank,

    First of all thank you very much for the post you created and for your answer on follow up questions.

    This thread is a gold mine.

    Given that delivery is very important to you, out of curiosity which auto responder you use? And what do you use to accept payments (the ones to get access to full course right away)?

    Thank you again,

      Hi - I started with Aweber and I'm still using them. I also like GetResponse. I would never use the so-called free autoresponders - free can be very expensive - sooner than later.

      As far as taking payments, I had several merchant accts, but have been using paypal since they came into the marketplace.

      Thanks for the nice words,
      Frank

    Improving your copywriting skills -
    In 2004, for the first time in my life, I wrote a very long sales letter. My sister (my proof reader at the time) told me that no one was going to read the entire letter because it was long and boring; and she was right. I was selling a good product for $47, but the sales copy didn't help. I was getting several thousands unique visitors per month and decided to reduced the price to $7, but even at $7, I was only making one or two sales per month.

    A few years later, I came across an e-book that changed the way I wrote sales letters, newsletters, articles and email follow ups forever. I went back to the "long and boring" sales letter and added some of the techniques I'd learned from the e-book and asked my sister to read it again. An hour later, she called and told me that this was the best marketing material she had ever read from me and suggested for me to raise the price back to $47 because I was going to get lots of sales this time; and she was right, as I went from making 1-2 $7 sales per month to 2-3 $47 sales per day.

    Today, I'm going to share with you the e-book and the simple techniques that took my copywriting to the next level.

    The name of this ebook is - "The Bucket Brigade", by Derek Pankaew. You can get a free copy of what was a life-changing information for me by clicking on or searching for the title below. Enjoy, Frank

    Hi Frank,
    Thank you for the great tips. i have a question :
    1-How do you know which subscriber bought the whole e-course so you can not send him again the sequence emails after that ?

    2-Let say i send 100 people to my squeeze page for a free eBook, 40% of them sign up and from that 40 people 20% buy my main product which related to the free eBook.

    so Now, i have : 40 emails and 8 buyers. i want to send sequence emails to those 32 non buyers via 3 emails to convince them to buy .

    My Question: how do i know from my auto-responder provider (i have Mailchimp) those 32 people ? i don't want to send these 3 emails to the 8 buyers since the list will have 40 subscribers .

    Thanks
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[9467337].message }}

      Hi - I have never used Mailchimp; thus, I cannot help you automate things with them.

      I use Aweber and Getresponse. With them, you can set automation rule to unsubscribe people from a prospect list when they purchase a product and sign up to a customers list.

      #1 - This can be done automatically by creating another list and setting the rules for Aweber to add the buyer to the new list and delete them from the freebie list. Once they are removed from the freebie list, that email sequence will stop. If you have created email follow ups for your buyers list, they will automatically start getting those.

      #2 - By now you will have two lists - a freebie and a buyers list. Your freebie list will have 32 prospects that will continue to receive that particular list email sequence. The buyers list will have 8 new people.

      Best Wishes, Frank

    Outliving Your Competitors.
    In Spanish there's a saying that goes .... "Siéntate a la puerta de tu casa y verás el cadáver de tu enemigo pasar." Translated to English means..... "Sit at the door of your house and see the corpse of your enemy pass."

    This saying also applies - quite nicely - to internet marketing. If you keep your website long enough, you will see most of your competitors' websites died or disappear. It is a fact that a very high number - over 90% I would say - of all marketers will not renew a domain after the first year.

    How do I know this? Because I was 1 of the 90% - but only for a short time, thank goodness. A few years ago, I decided to build some niche blogs using plr articles as content - I built 10 blogs to be exact. Most of the plr articles came from the wso forum. In most cases, I was the first one to have the articles indexed as I didn't wait around for the competition to get a head start.

    After a few weeks. I did a search on google to see how many people were using these articles and found only a few sites using them. 3 month later, there were around 40 sites using the same articles. A year later, 2/3 of those sites were gone. After two years, another bunch disappeared. Another year went by and there were only 3 sites sharing the same content.

    I now have seven sites with unique content and great domains. These sites are making sales for me - anywhere from $100-$400 per month each. The only thing I have done to these sites since I built them is to upgrade wp and updates the plugins. That's it!

    These sites are worth a nice chunk of change right now; great domain names, great content and making sales; talk about building web real estate!

    Knowing that Spanish saying ...... "Siéntate a la puerta de tu casa y verás el cadáver de tu enemigo pasar." .... helped me outlive the competition and built web asset.

    What about you? Are you going to have the patience to give your business time to develop or are you going to start a new one every other day - for the rest of your life?

    Best Wishes.

      Hi Frank,

      Do you do much in the way of keyword research prior to deciding on the topics for your videos, blog posts or slideshares? What kind of figures are you looking at with regards to search volume and competition etc? Do you look at these things before doing the social bookmarking etc?

      You mentioned in a very early comment that you started an affiliate program in the 80's, are you going to share any more information or stories on that at all?

        Hi - No one hates doing keyword research more than me, but it needs to be done. And since I hate it so much, I keep it simple. I usually pick 10-15 keywords per niche.

        I don't worry much about competition or ranking as I don't depend on google for traffic.

        I posted this on an earlier post.....
        "I use the google planner tool for keywords ideas. I also use ubersuggest.org, a free keyword suggestion tool. I prefer long tail keywords that are getting at least 1,000 exact searches per month."

        About my offline affiliate programs in the 80's and 90's; it's a long story, but I promise to cover it on a later post.

        Best Wishes.

    I have a question
    1. What do you send them when they optin to your list? Like you said if you send a freebie/report most probably they will get it and optout. You also said they optin and you email them after 3 days. If they won't get anything they will optout. please elaborate.

      It's in the original post, front page.

      "** On day 1, I tell my subscribers how important it is for them to stick with the e-course 'til the very end; they get an introduction to the course; my promise to them; what to expect over the next few days, etc. Day 1 is basically a sales or presell letter to the course. It works great! Sometimes, I get emails asking if they can buy the entire course right after they have read Day 1."

      Thank you Jesus.

      Hi Desi - Right after subscribing, they will receive a welcome email thanking them for joining our training and giving them the link to day 1 of the course. on the third day, I give them the option to purchase the entire course or continue getting the info for free. When I give them the option to buy on day 3, I also offer a bonus that is sometime better than the actual e-course.

      "** On day 1, I tell my subscribers how important it is for them to stick with the e-course 'til the very end; they get an introduction to the course; my promise to them; what to expect over the next few days, etc. Day 1 is basically a sales or presell letter to the course. It works great! Sometimes, I get emails asking if they can buy the entire course right after they have read Day 1."

      I have a question
      1. What do you send them when they optin to your list? Like you said if you send a freebie/report most probably they will get it and optout. You also said they optin and you email them after 3 days. If they won't get anything they will optout. please elaborate.

      Thanks.

        Hi Frank

        You explained in Post #110

        "I'm not offering any coaching. I spend most of my time traveling and don't have the time to set up a coaching program. Most of the product I sell are in the $9.95 to $97.00 range. I rarely get any refund requests as I don't make absurd income promises. My product would not do well on forums as my headline would not be found attractive by most members. This is what sells on most forum..... "Make $10,000 a month working just 10 minutes a day - no website or list needed." These sellers are telling the buyers what they want to hear: Make big money overnight without having to do any work. People just love to be told that they don't have to build a website to make big money online."

        I would like to first of all thank you for this thread. Not only have I found it helpful; but it is obvious from the response of other warriors that this thread is very helpful and that many warriors want to know more about your system. Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer all the questions warriors are asking about your system.

        Since you are not in a position to offer coaching and you already create products; can I suggest that you create a WSO and explain in a bit more detail your system - how you create your ecourses and set up your site. I think that will save you a lot of time.

You are genuine and generous, and I am a fan for life.

      Great post. thump up @OP.

      For those who don't know how to find CC youtube videos.

      Youtube is another of my favorite sites for videos that offers Creative Commons-licensed videos. there is no easy link for you to access the list of Creative Commons videos, but you can append the word ", creativecommons" (including the comma) to the end of your search term.




      I hope this helps.

    Email Follow Up Sequence:

    I have received several messages asking me to share other strategies I use to build my lists. Today, I will go over some of my follow up or broadcast strategies.

    Here is the email follow up sequence I use with other methods of list building. These subscribers get 3 emails per week.

    To make it easier to follow, I will start with what I do on Wednesday.


    Email #1 - Wednesday - This message is sent to give the subscribers a hint or update on what's coming on Friday. This email raises curiosity and expectation - and it gets most of my Friday's emails opened.

    I keep this message short and simple.......

    "Hello Mary,
    I hope this message finds you in great health.
    Just wanted to let you know that I've recently came across a report that can help you keep your dog happy and healthy for many years to come. I've found this information so valuable in expanding the life of my dog that I decided to purchase exclusive rights to the reports so I can share it with other dog lovers. I will be sending you another update in a day or so.
    Have a great day,
    Frank"


    1 - This email contains no links to the report.
    2 - It has Mary anxiously waiting for the next message to learn what this report is all about. She loves her dog and wants keep it around for the long term.
    3 - Since I told her that I purchased the right to share the report, she wouldn't mind paying for it as well.


    Email # 2 Friday - An offer. It does not have to be related to the offer or course they originally subscribed to. These are people and people do need other things. How many e-books on dog training will your subscribers buy from you? A few the most. Would you believe that most of the money I have earned from my dog training e-course subscribers is on weight loss products?

    A few weeks ago, I purchased a stove-top grill from Amazon. It's easy to use, easy to wash and the grilled steak and chicken taste terrific. I decided that this grill would be my Friday offer to all my subscribers - and I mean everyone I have on Aweber and Getresponse.

    I created a post about the grill using text and images I borrowed from Amazon. It took me about 20 minutes to prepare the post and email message. My assistant asked...."You think they are going to buy this? and I said something like..... "this grill is going to help me spend the next 7 days on a beach in Hawaii".

    It's been more than 2 weeks and the orders are still coming in.

    .... Treat your subscribers right and they will buy almost anything you offer.


    Email #3 - Monday - This is more like a follow up or update to Friday's offer. For example, after I sent the grill offer, on Monday I sent to buyers and non-buyer an e-book about eating healthy - and - two things happened; 1) the buyers thanked me and 2) many of those who didn't get the grill on Friday, got it on Monday - thanks to my follow up and e-book (btw, the e-book contains links to other affiliate offers).

    Lately, I have been sending a third email during the week to give my e-course subscribers a hint of what's coming on Friday. So far, the results have been great.

    uwa223,

    I wanted to ask you how you post (I mean where do you store them) your video courses that you give away for free.

    Video usually take a lot of bandwidth and if you pull into your courses even couple hundred people every month then it is going to take a lot of traffic and shared hosting company cannot be happy about it, might even kick out.

    How did you solve this issue for yourself?

      Hi fulfilledlife,
      I have just finished a course on video per Frank's teachings here, and I uploaded the videos on my Amazon S3 account. you just get a free plugin you paste the video url to, and presto, streaming the video on your site. There is lots of places where you can host your videos online off site.
      I hope this helps.

        Hello Fulfilledlife -
        As far as hosting websites/blogs - I share a server with a good friend. He does all the work of maintaining it. It's hard for me to recommend a hosting company since I have not been using them directly.

        You can start with some of the popular ones such as hostgator. Their Business and Reseller plans cost from $10-$20 per month and you will have plenty of bandwidth and storage space to handle several e-courses.

        As far as hosting videos. I use Amazon s3 and youtube. Amazon s3 is VERY inexpensive.

        Best Regards, Frank

          Thanks for your reply. Hosting are not an issue (before having to my own business I used to be a web developer for many years).

          Amazon s3 looks great and very cheap. I will definitely look into using it.

    Awesome information Frank. I adore the thought of allowing them to find the very first element no cost and then coughing up to the whole program. Possibly another means to achieve this is supply a condenced summary variation which protects every little thing and offers benefit and then employ a whole program which will go deep into just about every subject.

      Hi Mah - Thank you for taking the time to read this thread and for your kind words.

      I usually purchase plr products that include videos or give you the option to purchase "look over my shoulder as I do things" videos. If the plr is a good product, but there are no videos, I try find a plr video course that goes with it.

      I use text and graphics (stock images, etc.) for the e-course and give them the option to purchase the entire course after the third day.

      The videos are used as an upsell for those who prefer videos and about 30%-40% of those who like the course will end up upgrading to the videos - which I sell for $17-$27.00.

      I love summarizing articles and pages and I do so throughout each course.

      Here is a summary of this post....
      Give them the text pages for free - use the videos as part of your upsell NEVER give them the videos as part of the free e-course.

      Thank and best wishes.
      - Frank

    Thanks to you Frank,
    I have done mini courses before, but as you said, people opt in, download them and the un subscribe before I can even build up a relationship with them. I created the mini course now, with video and text, on wordpress pages, and I am currently finishing off the Auto responder series for the mini course.

    I feel very good about what I'm doing here, and I think one add a lot more value this way. Pure gold.
    Best regards

    hi , cool stuff, great value..but..
    you seem to be doing pretty low--average volume, at least I assume, correct me if i am wrong.
    Why not scaling big one of these few lists with paid traffic?
    You seem to have done wondrful work on these lists, but the return you are getting is limited to the amount of traffic you are getting (I am getting from your post that most of your traffic is coming from 'free traffic')
    I d rather work on only 1 or 2 niches, but scale a lot, rather than spreading myself a lot like you do.
    You can hit much higher revenues in my opinion.

    What type of volume are you doing?

    I have always been making money with paid traffic, I never understand people who are producing great content and building great sales funnel , and then dont leverage all that work with some media buys..

    Anyway, thanks for the post, it is rare to see so much value in one post in this forum.

      Hi There - Thanks for visiting and sharing your opinion with us.

      First, let me said that you are not correct. My initial goal was to get 10 subscribers per day - per e-course. I accomplished that within a week or two after uploading each course - without spending a dime on paid traffic. Later, I decided to spent some of my earnings for blog posting and social bookmarking. This has increased my opt-ins by about 25%.

      Don't underestimate the power of youtube and slideshare when it comes to getting visitors to your squeeze/landing page - if you do things right. I'm getting more visitors per day from free traffic than most people get per week from paid traffic.

      Second, about spreading myself thin - I agree with you on this. But I'm a hard worker and have had huge successes with past e-courses - including one that had over 40,000 subscribers. Scaling time? I knew that e-courses work, so I went on to scale my huge success x15 by building 15 e-courses that will bring a very large chunk of cash 30 months from now. I have already traded 2 of these properties for a very expensive toy.

      There are things that I used paid traffic for; like my e-commerce websites. Sending targeted traffic from fb to my e-commerce properties has produced fabulous results.

      Once again, thanks for sharing your success with us.
      Best Wishes, Frank

    Frank,

    Thanks for the great information. I have a couple questions:

    1. How long are your individual daily courses? Do they contain video or simply text and graphics?

    2. What is your preferred email service for autoresponders and why?

    3. What kind of traffic do you get solely from your YouTube and Facebook content?

    Thanks again!

      Hello unifiedac, Thanks for stopping by. Below are the answers to your questions.

      1 - Some of the e-courses I have now are from 7-15 days long. The longest one is 52 days. I use text and graphic for the free e-courses; videos are for upsells or one-time-offers.
      2 - I use aweber and getresponse as both provide high email deliverability and are not too expensive. I do not use free autoresponder as free can end up being very expensive. You can't go wrong by chosing aweber or getresponse. They are both very reliable.
      3) It's hard to say as I concentrate more on other results - such as how many subscribers and sales I get per day; maybe 35%-40% of my free traffic comes youtube.

      Best Wishes,
      Frank

          Hi - I don't mind sharing everything I do to build my list with you and with everyone on this forum - absolutely free; but as I stated on the first post, I will not be providing links to my landing pages or blogs.

          My blog are just like any other blogs. The only difference is that some of them are kept private - as I show on the opening post.
          Best Wishes, Frank

    Monetizing An Online Dating Blog - My Way.
    3 weeks ago, I got an email from a young woman asking for tips on how to monetize her dating blog. Today, I got a message from her telling me that the sales are coming in. I thought I share the monetizing tips I gave her on this thread.

    Let's start this with a question and some answers.....
    What do most men really want?
    1- Most men want a bigger THING-A-MAJIG.
    2- Most men want to last longer.
    3- Most men want to date younger women.
    4- Most men want to have the body of Adonis.
    5- Most men want to know how to approach women and say the right thing.
    6- Most men want a wallet full of money.

    Knowing what most men really want makes it really easy to monetize your dating blog. If you help men get what they want, you can earn a very sizable income. Below are some of the stuff I promoted on my dating blog. Some of the reports were developed by me, but you can replace them with affiliate programs from Clickbank.

    1- For men who wanted to be bigger - I would sell them THING-A-MAJIG stretchers. I used to sell at least 2 a day and earn $155 per sale.
    2- For those who wanted to last longer. I would sell them THING-A-MAJIG pills.
    3- For those who wanted to date younger women - I created a special report for them..... "Secrets Revealed: How to date younger women - even if you are short, bald and broke". The price was $27 and it sold like hotcakes.
    4- For men who wanted the Adonis look - I would sell them Turbulence Training. I did great with this CB product.
    5- For those who didn't know how to approach women - I created another report (made changes to a plr product). "The Art of Approaching Women! How To Tell Them What They Really Love To Hear". It also sold for $27.00.
    6- For those who wanted more money - I sold them several options on how to earn money to cover their dating expenses.

    Want to know which was the most read article on the entire blog? It was ... "Does size really matter?This time, I did not tell them what they wanted hear. In fact, after reading the first paragraph, they would be - QUICKLY - on their way to the THING-A-MAJIG stretcher website.

    As you can see, you can make a nice living by helping most men get what they want.

    Best Wishes, Frank

      Hello Frank ,

      Love your post it gave me a whole new view on handeling things .
      I just starting with internet marketing and its verry hard to weed out the good vs the bad info online , so this website was a massive help .
      I do have a question regarding the following text

      **Since I only use high quality giveaways, I give them the option to get immediate access to the rest of the course (on the third day) for at least $7.00 ($17-27 if it includes professional, HD videos). I make this offer on the email that goes out to let them know that day 3 has been added to the blog; and at the bottom of that particular e-course page.

      Basicly you say that you give them the offer to buy the course and dont have to wait till the verry last day .
      But what happens when they do buy , will the followup emails from the course keep comming or will they get redirected past the course ?

      Thank you

        Hi Wesley - I answered a similar question on post #165.

        When someone buys the e-course, I delete them from the freebie list and add them to a buyer's list. This is done automatically by the autoresponder.

        Post #165 -
        I use Aweber and Getresponse. With them, you can set automation rule to unsubscribe people from a prospect list when they purchase a product and sign up to a customers list.

        #1 - This can be done automatically by creating another list and setting the rules for Aweber to add the buyer to the new list and delete them from the freebie list. Once they are removed from the freebie list, that email sequence will stop. If you have created email follow ups for your buyers list, they will automatically start getting those.

        #2 - By now you will have two lists - a freebie and a buyers list. Your freebie list will have 32 prospects that will continue to receive that particular list email sequence. The buyers list will have 8 new people.

        Best Wishes, Frank

    A Complete e-course and sales funnel on list building....
    I get many private messages asking if I could do some coaching or set up e-courses, but I just don't have the time to provide these services. Today, I searches the wso section looking for something that could help people launch and e-course and found a ready to go e-course, sales funnel and training.

    It's the Monthly Paycheck Sales Funnel by JensSteyaert. This is a complete sales funnel that teaches people everything they need to know about listbuilding. It comes with everything you need, such as a squeeze page, a monetized thank you page, follow up messages and a complete training websites with 6 lessons your subscribers can follow.

    You can buy PLR right s to the funnel and the website if you wish. This means you can reverse engineer this funnel and crank out unlimited sales funnels the way this one is built.

    Go to the wso section and do a search for JensSteyaert and his training. I don't know Jens; we have never exchanged messages until today; and I'll never get a dime if you decide to purchase. I'm just trying to help those who have asked for help.

    Best Wishes - Frank

    Thanks for sharing such great info. I was in particular won over by the combination of creating a fan page, a youtube channel and a slide share account to promote your e-course. I hope to implement these free traffic sources to my new Free 10-part Video list building series. Buying of book marking and blog posting gigs from Warriors For Hire was also an eye opener to more traffic sources. Quite rightly put--you either build your own list OR build a list for other marketers.

      Hi Frank,

      Firstly thanks you for the quality information that you are providing here.

      I had a question. You mention in one of the posts that you/your assistant updates both your private and public blogs. When you say your private blogs I guess that they are the private posts, that are part of your sales funnel. But what do you mean by your public blogs.

      You say that you place you squeeze/landing pages on the main domain and the private pages on a subdomain. Do you have a blog part as well, such as domainname/blog.

      Kind regards

      Peter

        Hi Peter - Thank you for the kind words.

        - Private blogs are blogs that are not indexed by search engines. These blogs, post and pages are not found when people do searches. I use this method instead of going through the trouble of using membership plugins. Please view the video available on the first post.

        - Public blogs are exactly that. They are indexed by the search engines; thus, they are available to everyone.

        At first, I was just using a squeeze page and a blog set to private on a subdomain or subfolder. Since then, I have added a public blog to each e-course.

        I don't use the word "blog". I use "magazine" instead. Each of these "magazines" are bringing around 3000-5000 visitors per month.

        To me..... Health & Fitness Magazine sounds much better than Health & Fitness Blog.

        I will do a post or open a new thread on how I set up these magazines without doing any writing myself.
        Best Wishes - Frank

      More exposure but that would probably incur additional fees. You can just create a buy now button or link that sends them to PayPal as you would on any sales page.

      HI Grbrown - I don't use warrior plus or jvzoo - but you could if you want to. I use a simple paypal buy now button. I also keep the sales page looking simple; most time, text, some related images and the buy now button - a la Frank Kern. Simplicity sells.

    Frank,
    Thank you very much for not only having taken the time to make this post but also for your continuing attendance and updating.

    I am curious as to which other niche areas you had targeted- you mentioned 3 main ones you liked/had success in but also mentioned that you had upwards of 15 mini-courses out there running now...

    Separate question- when would you feel the time would be right to package up a few and sell them? Would that be based on average sign ups, revenue generated, or a combination of that plus how much time you are spending on them weekly versus other projects that also earn money/are more interesting to you?

    Thanks!

      1- Affiliate marketing-email marketing

Would that be based on average sign ups, revenue generated, or a combination of that plus how much time you are spending on them weekly versus other projects that also earn money/are more interesting to you?

      Thanks!

I upload the same videos to youtube and facebook; the power point presentations is basically the same info as in the videos. After 7 days, I have 35 videos on youtube, 35 on facebook, and 35 presentation on slideshare sending free traffic to my e-course squeeze page. Recently, I started buying bookmarking and blog posting gigs from the Warriors For Hire forum and this has greatly increased my traffic and opt ins.

    About my video marketing - My videos and presentations are not spammy; I do provide useful information. I never had any of my videos banned or deleted by youtube. I use youtube's creative commons on a daily basis. Youtube cc has some great videos that you can use as your own without worrying about copyright infringements. They even provide you with an online editor so that are able to add an intro and ending with your info to these videos.
    Frank, if I am reading this right you are using free videos available on YouTube for re-use and repurposing them to you YouTube channel for a specific course. You are then adding your own into and ending to the, using Camtasia. You are also uploading these same video to a fanpage you create for each e-course. Am I following this correctly?

    This thread is so full of good info and I just got around to coming back to read it more in depth, thank you again for this great post. A few questions...

    1) Are you using paid traffic on FB to get people to your fanpage?

    2) Are you able to just downloading the videos in order to use them on FB or are you ripping them?

    3) Do you just create one e-course for a single site or do you add more e-courses if the site is successful?

    4) Do you ever use free WSO's or solo ads to get more subscribers to your sites?

    I am spending a lot of time adding blog posts to my site and am wondering if that is a waste of time and should just focus on gaining subscribers and promoting high quality PLR courses to get their love and then promote products such as you are doing. It seems you don't really rely on SEO much as I suppose your sites will gain organic views over time anyhow.

      That is correct.

      This thread is so full of good info and I just got around to coming back to read it more in depth, thank you again for this great post. A few questions...

      1) Are you using paid traffic on FB to get people to your fanpage?

      A few years ago, I was placing fb ads to get fans; but these days, I rarely use paid traffic to get fans. I have several fan pages with over 50k fans each. When I develop a new course / fan page, I just post the links to the new page on the timelines of other pages. Within a few days, I will have several thousands fans for the new page.

      2) Are you able to just downloading the videos in order to use them on FB or are you ripping them?

      Most time I share the video link from my youtube channel to my fan page. This way, the video can be seen on yt or facebook.

      3) Do you just create one e-course for a single site or do you add more e-courses if the site is successful?

      I do add new pages to keep people coming back to read them and view new offers.

      4) Do you ever use free WSO's or solo ads to get more subscribers to your sites?

      I have never used wso's to get subscribers. I used solos many times, but my results were not that great. It could have been what I was offering at the time.

      I do use press releases to announce a new course to the public. It's not unusual to get several hundred subscribers within a few days. I don't, but you could use fiverr for the writing and distribution of press releases. Look for gig owners with 5 star ratings.


      I am spending a lot of time adding blog posts to my site and am wondering if that is a waste of time and should just focus on gaining subscribers and promoting high quality PLR courses to get their love and then promote products such as you are doing. It seems you don't really rely on SEO much as I suppose your sites will gain organic views over time anyhow.

      One of the best ways to build a list is using a blog. Every time you add a post to your blog, send the link to your subscriber. This way, you are keeping your list engaged and building a web asset (your blog). It's like killing 2 birds with one stone.

      Hi - You could if you want to. In my case, I post the content instead of sending a long email that most subscribers won't bother to read.

      Here is what I do:
      Post my content on blog or e-course >>>> add related offers to that post or page (as I show on post #18) >>>> send a brief message to my subscribers with a link to the post.
      Results: a bunch of sales without being pushy!


      The best way to engage your list and keep them active is by having a place where ideas can be shared by you and by others --- a blog, fb group or fan page will do the trick.

      Best Wishes.

      Hi Eunette - For my e-courses, I prefer to ask for the subscribers' names. I'm giving them a high quality product that took time and money to put together. If they are not willing to input their names and emails in exchange for the product, there are other people who will.

      I find it easier to maintain a relationship with my subscribers by using their names.

    At this moment, I'm in the beautiful city of Santa Marta, Colombia. Columbus visited Santa Marta in 1499, during his second voyage. Santa Marta is the oldest city in Colombia, founded in 1525. It's one the jewels of Colombia. It gave rise to myth of El Dorado, the fabled city of gold. Many movies have been made around this myth.

    Can I ask one question? If you selling products, etc. CB, how do you know then changed that subscribers who bought it to yours customers list?

    As I know that when the customers click to CB link they'll go to product langding pages and I just get inform by CB if they buy that product.

      Hi Boeuro - Thanks for your kind words.
      When I post an offers from other vendors on my blog or e-course, I usually offer a bonus or bribe related to the offer. To get this bonus, the buyer would be redirected to an optin form to input their name, email and purchase rec #.

      Example of a bribe or bonus - if the offer is about building a list, my bonus offer would be something like ..... "Let me know when you order this product and I will give you a copy of my best converting squeeze page absolutely free."

      Some will take me on my bribe offer and some won't.

      I have several lists per course - those who joined for free - those who upgraded to immediate access to the course - those who bought CB Product #1 - those who jvzoo product B - etc, etc.

      Best Wishes

      Thanks - appreciate the kind words.

      What I like about the e-courses is that it keeps your subscribers returning to your blog; thus, making it easier to engage and maintain a relationship with them. Subscribers engagement / relationship = BIG MONEY.

      My courses allow people to share their experiences and knowledge with fellow subscribers - which makes it easy for me to keep people active and engaged. You cannot do this with an e-book.

      I have nothing against building your list by offering an e-book. It's just not my preferred method for the reasons stated above.

        Hi Katchool - Keeping in touch with subscribers is very easy. All you need to do is add new pages to your course and email them links. There is enough relevant information out there to keep adding pages to these courses for many years to come. Once you give people what they want, they will keep coming back for more.
        Best Regards.

Do not ask me to provide proof of my earnings or links to my squeeze pages as I'm not here to sell you anything.

    Here are some of my list building dos and don'ts -

    ** For the giveaway, I rarely use a report that can be downloaded right after they opt in as a high percentage of subscribers will opt out the minute they get their hands on your report.

    I usually buy a high quality plr and turn it into a 7 to 10 day e-course. I do not use the PDF format to deliver the course. Instead, I do so via a wordpress private blog. I create a page for each day of the e-course. As I create these pages, I do some rewriting - such as changing the titles and headlines; and writing a small, one paragraph intro or summary of the page. I do not use a membership site.

    If you need to know how to keep your blog private - from being indexed by search engines - the video below will show how.

    WordPress Tutorial - How to Block Your Site From Search Engines in WordPress - YouTube

    ** I never redirect people to an offer the minute they opt in. To me, list building is about developing a relationship with your subscribers; sending them to an offer immediately after subscribing is not the best way to start building that long-lasting relationship. I find that waiting at least until the third day before I make them an offer work best in the long term.

    Since I only use high quality giveaways, I give them the option to get immediate access to the rest of the course (on the third day) for at least $7.00 ($17-27 if it includes professional, HD videos). I make this offer on the email that goes out to let them know that day 3 has been added to the blog; and at the bottom of that particular e-course page.

    __________________________________________________ ________

    Here is a trick I learned from the writer of "The 4 Letter Killer", David Bullock; according to David, this eBook was downloaded over 260,000 times. He was great at keeping his subscribers active, happy and anxiously waiting for his next email. I know this for a fact, I was one of those subscribers for over 5 years.

    His offer would be something like this: "Hello Frank, I hope you are having a wonderful day. I found something that can really help you with your online business. This system is so good that I decided to buy the rights to it so I can share it with you. Click the link below for complete details. P.S. Don't forget to click on the elephant at the bottom of the page for a nice surprise."

    When you clicked on the elephant (pink, purple, blue; don't remember the color), you would be taken to a Paypal payment page where the price would be $10-$20 less than the advertized price. I found myself clicking on that darn elephant and buying his products every Friday morning; our relationship lasted until he stopped sending emails 6 years later. I suspect that there were thousands of elephant clickers on his list.

    Later, I found out that the "exclusive product" he bought just for me were resell rights items from the Unselfish Marketer membership site; but this didn't upset me for they were of high quality and I always learned something from them.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ** On the squeeze page, I always use two fields - First name and email address. Personally, I think that if you want to develop a relationship with your subscriber, you need to make them feel that they are more than just an email address to you.

    ** For my squeeze page - I use the one that comes with the product or I develop my own using OptimizePress. Most of the private label rights products I purchase provide excellent marketing material. I also use Presell Crusher to create presell surveys landing pages.

    ** On day 1, I tell my subscribers how important it is for them to stick with the e-course 'til the very end; they get an introduction to the course; my promise to them; what to expect over the next few days, etc. Day 1 is basically a sales or presell letter to the course. It works great! Sometimes, I get emails asking if they can buy the entire course right after they have read Day 1.

    ** I keep my promises. On my squeeze page, I promise that I'm not going to share their info with other marketers, and I keep it. I keep this promise by not doing ad swaps or selling solo ads.

    ** I only email my list two times per week - Freebie Tuesday and Bargain Friday. On Tuesday, I sent them something that is related to the course for free. I make sure the info is good before I send it to them. On Friday, I sent them an offer. It could be my own product or a high quality resell rights products.

    ** I do promote clickbank products within the e-courses. Especially the ones with rebilling. I tell my subscribers that they will be added to a mailing list once they make a purchase; I also remind them that they can get a refund within 60 day and can opt out from the seller's list any time they wish to do so.

    ** My favorite niche is online marketing / mmo as it offers so many products you can offer; but there is one that I really enjoy, it's the dog training niche. I recently developed a course from an e-book and mp3 I purchased 6 years ago. It's a 15 day course, but by the third day I give the subscriber the option to pay a small price to have immediate access to the rest of the course; I get a lot of takers to this offer - and of course, I practice that "David Bullock thing". I have a picture of a dog at the bottom of the sales page and tell them.... Click on my doggie for a nice surprise"; two things happen when they click on my doggie, 1 - they get a $10 discount and .... 2 - I hear my cash register going crazy ... ching!-ching!-ching!

    ** I usually buy a new domain name for each course and install wordpress on the root domain and subdomain. The root domain is for the landing and presell pages; the subdomain is for the private blog I use to deliver the course.

    ** How I promote my e-courses - For each e-course I develop, I create a fan page, a youtube channel and a slideshare account. My goal per day is to upload at least 5 videos to youtube and facebook and 5 presentations to slideshare for the first 7 days. I upload the same videos to youtube and facebook; the power point presentations is basically the same info as in the videos. After 7 days, I have 35 videos on youtube, 35 on facebook, and 35 presentation on slideshare sending free traffic to my e-course squeeze page. Recently, I started buying bookmarking and blog posting gigs from the Warriors For Hire forum and this has greatly increased my traffic and opt ins.

    How long does it take to upload each e-course? In less than a day I can have the e-course, fan page, youtube and slideshare account done. I could do much better - but my love for netflix's sci-fi movies will not let me.

    About my video marketing - My videos and presentations are not spammy; I do provide useful information. I never had any of my videos banned or deleted by youtube. I use youtube's creative commons on a daily basis. Youtube cc has some great videos that you can use as your own without worrying about copyright infringements. They even provide you with an online editor so that are able to add an intro and ending with your info to these videos. Below is the link to the youtube creative commons video editor.

    https://www.youtube.com/editor

    As of today, I have 15 e-courses uploaded and getting me subscribers on a daily basis. My initial goal was to get at least 10 subscribers per e-course - per day. I have achieved that - and more. I have found this to be the best and fastest way to $100 per day online.

    To get started, you'll need a hosting account, an autoresponder and a high quality plr product. I stay away from free autoresponders - as they are not really free.

    If you have any questions - other than asking me for one of my links - don't hesitate to ask.

    I leave you with this.....

    ** As a marketer, you will always be building a list - whether you want to or not. If you are not building a list of your very own .... then .... you are building the lists of the owners of the products you are promoting. Which list do you want to build?

    Best Wishes, Frank

    any updates on revenue?

    I wanted to ask you, how do you "move" a buyer lead? i mean, if a subscriber buys the course on the 3rd day, do i keep sending him the daily info to the private blog? i mean he already bought the whole course, wouldn't this be pointless and annoying for him?

    how do i move him to the "buyers list" and what type of content is on the buyer list, a whole different follow up emails with diff priducts?

      Hi - I answered this already on several posts, but will do it again since the thread is getting longer and longer.

      I use Aweber and Getresponse. You can integrate either of these auto responders with your paypal button. The video below will show you how is done. If you do a search on google or youtube on how to integrate aweber or getresponse with paypal, you will find plenty of tutorials.

      Aweber - paypal integration:
      Integrating Your AWeber Account with PayPal on Vimeo

      With Aweber and Getreponse you can set automation rule to unsubscribe people from a prospect list when they purchase a product and add them to a customers or buyers' list.

      This is done automatically by creating another list and setting the rules for Aweber to add the buyer to the new list and delete them from the freebie list. Once they are removed from the freebie list, that email sequence will stop. If you have created email follow ups for your buyers list, they will automatically start getting those.

      Best Wishes, Frank

    Do you 'split test' things?

    Example: Do / did you split test your fanpage headlines or
    various offers ( I noticed you said the bulk of your time
    encompasses 'offer' development)?

    Thanks again

      Hi tm - Most of my e-courses traffic is free. Once in a while, I'd paid for bookmarking or blog posting gigs.

      As far as tracking, I use google analytics. I also used the tracking provided by clickbank and other affiliate network tracking systems to let me know which blog or page made the sale.

      Google Analytics is quite good and it's free. It allows you to see where your visitors come from and how long they stay on your website.

    uwa223 Frank - Awesome post buddy! Certainly get's my vote for one of the best postings here.... Much appreciated.... Just want to add that my preference is to use a self hosted autoresponder with leveraging Amazon SES - that way you mitigate against the risks of relying on a third party whilst enjoying the same level of robustness as with top providers and it's way, way cheaper... just make sure to have DKIM and SPF setup....

    Hi Frank,
    This really is an EPIC valuable post. It came just right in time as I was building a list in a new niche so a BIG THANKYOU for being so generous with sharing your knowledge.

    I may have missed this but I just wanted to ask you if you were using the root domain ie home page as:
    i) a mini sales page for the full ecourse
    ii) Squeeze page
    iii) or the public blog/magazine?

    I recalled you mentioning that you placed the private blog on subdomain to deliver the ecourse however I wasn't so sure about the home page and the blog placement.

    Could you clarify? Thanks so much.

      Hello Aimee - Thanks for the kind words.
      I always use a subdomain to build the blog that delivers the course.
      I use the root domain as a presell or warmup page to get people to
      subscribe. All my courses now have magazine type blogs on a second subdomain. The magazine blogs are very effective. Eventually, I will move the magazine blog to the root domain.

      I'm ready to launch another thread about launching your own magazine. I was going to do it here, but it might get loss as this one is already too long.

      Thanks for stopping by. Best Wishes,
      Frank

    Hi UWA223...

    I am confused about certain things about the process below !

    **
    _____________________________________

    For the giveaway, I rarely use a report that can be downloaded right after they opt in as a high percentage of subscribers will opt out the minute they get their hands on your report.

    I usually buy a high quality plr and turn it into a 7 to 10 day e-course. I do not use the PDF format to deliver the course. Instead, I do so via a wordpress private blog. I create a page for each day of the e-course. As I create these pages, I do some rewriting - such as changing the titles and headlines; and writing a small, one paragraph intro or summary of the page. I do not use a membership site.
    ___________________________________

    What i am confused about is you do not allow report to be downloaded right away as a ebook , then how is the ecourse being really delivered:

    1) For each 7 days of the ecourse - do you send them them a separate email for day 1 , day 2, day 3. day 4, day 5, day 6, day 7, with a link embedded in each email to the blog to read the ecourse for that day is that how it works ?
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[9741206].message }}

      Hello onpointinfo,
      You got it right. The course is delivered as pages on a private blog. Each page represents one day of the course. Each day, and email is sent to subscribers giving them the URL to the page for that day.

      Best Wishes.

    Hi Frank,

    The more I breakdown this case study, the more fascinated I become with the possibilities. I've spent hours on this on this 'valuable' input. Frank, got a few more questions...

    1. Pricing - with such large lists, it's certainly profitable for such low cost products. But when you first started out, did you sale or promote ( bulk of your empire) higher value products to build momentum?

    2. Sales - I'm a bit confused re your blog (membership sites). First, you speak of hiding your sites (for obvious reasons).

    But later, you speak of the product rank model (for leads on Google). I was under the impression you were "lying low" on the search engines . Where you referring to sq pages or fb pages?

    Thanks again for your time.

      1. Pricing - with such large lists, it's certainly profitable for such low cost products. But when you first started out, did you sale or promote ( bulk of your empire) higher value products to build momentum?

      I have not made many changes to the ways I do things since I started this thread. So far, I made only two - which were posted somewhere on the thread.
      1- I moved the option to buy the e-course to day 2, instead of day 3. Each day page has links to products with a price range from $7 to $97. In some of my courses, I list high tickets items from Amazon and Commission Junction.
      2- I added a magazine type blog on a subdomain to each course (this will be discussed on another thread)


      2. Sales - I'm a bit confused re your blog (membership sites). First, you speak of hiding your sites (for obvious reasons).

      But later, you speak of the product rank model (for leads on Google). I was under the impression you were "lying low" on the search engines . Where you referring to sq pages or fb pages?

      2- Only the landing/squeeze page that presell the course and the magazine/blog are available to the search engine. The courses remain private. We have made some mistakes in which links to the private blogs were posted on the web, but the way the private blog pages are set up, this probably led to more sales.

      Thanks again for your time.

        Hi Frank,

        I want to thank you again for help. I've been reviewing and updating my notes on this case study. I have a 2 questions if you don't mind.

        You spoke about placing links to 'past pages' in each new eCourse page. You also spoke about having some eCourses as long as 52 pages

        QUESTION 1: Does this mean, for example, you have links to 'all' 51 previous pages on the 52nd page? If not, how do you go about pacing links to past pages if the course is 'extremely' long?

        ----------------------------------

        You also speak of having an optin form for 'each' vendor (affiliate) product you promote (you're not in the habit of building someone else's list :-).

        I assume you are promoting lots of vendor products.

        QUESTION 2: If possible, can you briefly explain how you go about this process? I'm assuming that would be an awful lot of optin forms (lists) for the products you promote.

        Thanks again for this 'wealth' of information. I can only imagine how much $ you are leaving on the table (due to your generosity).

          - Most of my e-courses are 7-14 days long; the 52 pages were actually 52 newsletters on an autoresponder.

          The course is delivered as pages on a blog. The pages are kept out of the blog's page navigation structure and past pages links are added manually at the bottom of each page. For example - on day 3, you will find the links to days 1 and 2. It only takes a few seconds to copy and paste these links.

          I do use posts to make offers and review products. These posts are automatically added to the sidebar navigation of each page or day.
          ----------------------------------
          You also speak of having an optin form for 'each' vendor (affiliate) product you promote (you're not in the habit of building someone else's list :-).

          Once they join the course, they are added to my list; thus, I do not have to create a form for each product I promote. Once they make a purchase, they are added to a buyers' list as explained throughout the thread. If they purchase any of my products, they are automatically added to a buyers list. If they purchase another vendor's product, I try to get them to join my buyers list by offering bonuses and incentives that they would have to opt-in for.

          I assume you are promoting lots of vendor products.

          QUESTION 2: If possible, can you briefly explain how you go about this process? I'm assuming that would be an awful lot of optin forms (lists) for the products you promote.

    Thanks Frank for the excellent advice.

    1. I have a few questions, see the videos you create are each of them unique, and if so how do you add diversity to each of them, seems difficult to me to create diverse content especially when you create so many videos initially.

    2. Also are the videos just mainly text giving the user advice.

    3. I know you recommend YouTube video creator to make the videos, but is there any other video software/ program that would help creating the videos or just speed up the process.

    Thank you a lot,

    David.

      Hi David - .

      Most of the videos we make are about a minute long and provide 2-3 helpful tips or solutions to problems, Right after the tips,we recommend a "much better solution" to the problems and send them to a pre-sell page.that either capture their info or offer a bonus after the purchase that they would have to opt-in in order to get it.

      About 70% of our videos are unique as It only takes about 15 minutes to write the script and make the videos.

      We use the same script format all the time -
      1- A good headline
      2- Make a promise (3 tips that will help you lose 20 pounds)
      3- Deliver what you promised.
      4 Offer a better solution to the tips they received

      My favorite software is Camtasia. I did buy a few of the newer and easier video making software that have been popping up lately. I will make a post about these software later.

      Best Wishes, Frank

      3. I know you recommend YouTube video creator to make the videos, but is there any other video software/ program that would help creating the videos or just speed up the process.

      Thank you a lot,

      David.

        Hi Frank,

        First of all, thank you for the thread. Well, actually, thank you for your time! I'm sure we all will do our best to spread this kindness wave.

        I have a question regarding your videos.

        From the original post I got an impression that you mostly use CC videos.

        From the quoted post it seems that you make your own videos now.

        Having tried finding CC videos, I can't find more than five-ten good videos for my niche (although it's quite large). So, I'm considering creating my own. So, I have a fewquestions:

        1. Do you create slide-show videos or are they demonstrations (here's how to say "sit" so that your dog listens)?
        2. What do you use for the audio? Your own voice, music, anything else?
        3. Do you make the videos yourself or do you outsource? And why?

        Thank you for your time again.

        Alex

        About 70% of our videos are unique as It only takes about 15 minutes to write the script and make the videos.

        We use the same script format all the time -
        1- A good headline
        2- Make a promise (3 tips that will help you lose 20 pounds)
        3- Deliver what you promised.
        4 Offer a better solution to the tips they received

        My favorite software is Camtasia. I did buy a few of the newer and easier video making software that have been popping up lately. I will make a post about these software later.

        Best Wishes, Frank

          Hi Alex - CC videos are great, but they are not the only types of videos we use; they help me get a jump start on my e-course marketing. You don't have to download them as you can edit them online and add them to your channel once you are done. You can turn a long CC video into many short videos.

          1- Our videos are very short. We do use slide shows as most tips can be delivered via text.
          2- We use Camtasia when we need to record our own voices. These days TTS or text to speech video making software have improved significantly. I have purchased 3 of them for my young assistant (now a business partner) and she is putting out some great videos. I will share the name of these software with you on another post.
          3- Most of the videos are made by me or my biz partner. It only takes a few minutes to write a script and do a voice over.

          See post #395 for more info on scripts and format we use to make our videos.

    I'm weird like this but seeing many repeated questions.

    Here's all Franks responses to date - (if it lets me) Great WSO !

    I have not posted on this forum lately; but today, I'm going to share with you the list building strategy that's working extremely well for me. I'm going to keep this really short and simple. Do not ask me to provide proof of my earnings or links to my squeeze pages as I'm not here to sell you anything.

    Here are some of my list building dos and don'ts -

    ** For the giveaway, I rarely use a report that can be downloaded right after they opt in as a high percentage of subscribers will opt out the minute they get their hands on your report.

    I usually buy a high quality plr and turn it into a 7 to 10 day e-course. I do not use the PDF format to deliver the course. Instead, I do so via a wordpress private blog. I create a page for each day of the e-course. As I create these pages, I do some rewriting - such as changing the titles and headlines; and writing a small, one paragraph intro or summary of the page. I do not use a membership site.

    If you need to know how to keep your blog private - from being indexed by search engines - the video below will show how.

    WordPress Tutorial - How to Block Your Site From Search Engines in WordPress - YouTube

    ** I never redirect people to an offer the minute they opt in. To me, list building is about developing a relationship with your subscribers; sending them to an offer immediately after subscribing is not the best way to start building that long-lasting relationship. I find that waiting at least until the third day before I make them an offer work best in the long term.

    Since I only use high quality giveaways, I give them the option to get immediate access to the rest of the course (on the third day) for at least $7.00 ($17-27 if it includes professional, HD videos). I make this offer on the email that goes out to let them know that day 3 has been added to the blog; and at the bottom of that particular e-course page.

    __________________________________________________ ________

    Here is a trick I learned from the writer of "The 4 Letter Killer", David Bullock; according to David, this eBook was downloaded over 260,000 times. He was great at keeping his subscribers active, happy and anxiously waiting for his next email. I know this for a fact, I was one of those subscribers for over 5 years.

    His offer would be something like this: "Hello Frank, I hope you are having a wonderful day. I found something that can really help you with your online business. This system is so good that I decided to buy the rights to it so I can share it with you. Click the link below for complete details. P.S. Don't forget to click on the elephant at the bottom of the page for a nice surprise."

    When you clicked on the elephant (pink, purple, blue; don't remember the color), you would be taken to a Paypal payment page where the price would be $10-$20 less than the advertized price. I found myself clicking on that darn elephant and buying his products every Friday morning; our relationship lasted until he stopped sending emails 6 years later. I suspect that there were thousands of elephant clickers on his list.

    Later, I found out that the "exclusive product" he bought just for me were resell rights items from the Unselfish Marketer membership site; but this didn't upset me for they were of high quality and I always learned something from them.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ** On the squeeze page, I always use two fields - First name and email address. Personally, I think that if you want to develop a relationship with your subscriber, you need to make them feel that they are more than just an email address to you.

    ** For my squeeze page - I use the one that comes with the product or I develop my own using OptimizePress. Most of the private label rights products I purchase provide excellent marketing material. I also use Presell Crusher to create presell surveys landing pages.

    ** On day 1, I tell my subscribers how important it is for them to stick with the e-course 'til the very end; they get an introduction to the course; my promise to them; what to expect over the next few days, etc. Day 1 is basically a sales or presell letter to the course. It works great! Sometimes, I get emails asking if they can buy the entire course right after they have read Day 1.

    ** I keep my promises. On my squeeze page, I promise that I'm not going to share their info with other marketers, and I keep it. I keep this promise by not doing ad swaps or selling solo ads.

    ** I only email my list two times per week - Freebie Tuesday and Bargain Friday. On Tuesday, I sent them something that is related to the course for free. I make sure the info is good before I send it to them. On Friday, I sent them an offer. It could be my own product or a high quality resell rights products.

    ** I do promote clickbank products within the e-courses. Especially the ones with rebilling. I tell my subscribers that they will be added to a mailing list once they make a purchase; I also remind them that they can get a refund within 60 day and can opt out from the seller's list any time they wish to do so.

    ** My favorite niche is online marketing / mmo as it offers so many products you can offer; but there is one that I really enjoy, it's the dog training niche. I recently developed a course from an e-book and mp3 I purchased 6 years ago. It's a 15 day course, but by the third day I give the subscriber the option to pay a small price to have immediate access to the rest of the course; I get a lot of takers to this offer - and of course, I practice that "David Bullock thing". I have a picture of a dog at the bottom of the sales page and tell them.... Click on my doggie for a nice surprise"; two things happen when they click on my doggie, 1 - they get a $10 discount and .... 2 - I hear my cash register going crazy ... ching!-ching!-ching!

    ** I usually buy a new domain name for each course and install wordpress on the root domain and subdomain. The root domain is for the landing and presell pages; the subdomain is for the private blog I use to deliver the course.

    ** How I promote my e-courses - For each e-course I develop, I create a fan page, a youtube channel and a slideshare account. My goal per day is to upload at least 5 videos to youtube and facebook and 5 presentations to slideshare for the first 7 days. I upload the same videos to youtube and facebook; the power point presentations is basically the same info as in the videos. After 7 days, I have 35 videos on youtube, 35 on facebook, and 35 presentation on slideshare sending free traffic to my e-course squeeze page. Recently, I started buying bookmarking and blog posting gigs from the Warriors For Hire forum and this has greatly increased my traffic and opt ins.

    How long does it take to upload each e-course? In less than a day I can have the e-course, fan page, youtube and slideshare account done. I could do much better - but my love for netflix's sci-fi movies will not let me.

    About my video marketing - My videos and presentations are not spammy; I do provide useful information. I never had any of my videos banned or deleted by youtube. I use youtube's creative commons on a daily basis. Youtube cc has some great videos that you can use as your own without worrying about copyright infringements. They even provide you with an online editor so that are able to add an intro and ending with your info to these videos. Below is the link to the youtube creative commons video editor.

    https://www.youtube.com/editor

    As of today, I have 15 e-courses uploaded and getting me subscribers on a daily basis. My initial goal was to get at least 10 subscribers per e-course - per day. I have achieved that - and more. I have found this to be the best and fastest way to $100 per day online.

    To get started, you'll need a hosting account, an autoresponder and a high quality plr product. I stay away from free autoresponders - as they are not really free.

    If you have any questions - other than asking me for one of my links - don't hesitate to ask.

    I leave you with this.....

    ** As a marketer, you will always be building a list - whether you want to or not. If you are not building a list of your very own .... then .... you are building the lists of the owners of the products you are promoting. Which list do you want to build?

    Best Wishes, Frank

    I have two lists per e-course; freebies and buyers. When a subscribers buy immediate access to course or another one of my products, they get added to the buyers list and deleted from the freebie list. The autoresponder does this automatically.

    What I do after the 7 days over - or however long the course is - is to continue providing valuable information to my subscribers. For my dog training e-course, I can go on posting good content for many years to come. I have a hard-drive full e-books on dog training and maybe about 1500 articles on the subject as well; thus, I have more than enough content to keep my subscriber happy for many years into the future. When I need content, I 'll take an e-book and go through it and if I find something interesting, I would consider adding the info to the member's area. I just don't add it as is; I make changes to it; I make the info more personal. If I'm not sure the info is correct,
    On fb, you must keep people engaged. We spend about 15 minutes per page each day; answering questions, thanking fans for their comments and posting something of interest. On youtube, I upload 1 video per week to each channel, thanks people fro their comments and remove spams.

    Put countdown timer on offer

    As for keywords - I use the google planner tool for keywords ideas. I also use ubersuggest.org, a free keyword suggestion tool. I prefer long tail keywords that are getting at least 1,000 exact searches per month.

    Thank you Jesus.

    Hi Desi - Right after subscribing, they will receive a welcome email thanking them for joining our training and giving them the link to day 1 of the course. on the third day, I give them the option to purchase the entire course or continue getting the info for free. When I give them the option to buy on day 3, I also offer a bonus that is sometime better than the actual e-course.

    "** On day 1, I tell my subscribers how important it is for them to stick with the e-course 'til the very end; they get an introduction to the course; my promise to them; what to expect over the next few days, etc. Day 1 is basically a sales or presell letter to the course. It works great! Sometimes, I get emails asking if they can buy the entire course right after they have read Day 1."

    I have received several messages asking me to share other strategies I use to build my lists. Today, I will go over some of my follow up or broadcast strategies.

    Here is the email follow up sequence I use with other methods of list building. These subscribers get 3 emails per week.

    To make it easier to follow, I will start with what I do on Wednesday.


    Email #1 - Wednesday - This message is sent to give the subscribers a hint or update on what's coming on Friday. This email raises curiosity and expectation - and it gets most of my Friday's emails opened.

    I keep this message short and simple.......

    "Hello Mary,
    I hope this message finds you in great health.
    Just wanted to let you know that I've recently came across a report that can help you keep your dog happy and healthy for many years to come. I've found this information so valuable in expanding the life of my dog that I decided to purchase exclusive rights to the reports so I can share it with other dog lovers. I will be sending you another update in a day or so.
    Have a great day,
    Frank"

    1 - This email contains no links to the report.
    2 - It has Mary anxiously waiting for the next message to learn what this report is all about. She loves her dog and wants keep it around for the long term.
    3 - Since I told her that I purchased the right to share the report, she wouldn't mind paying for it as well.


    Email # 2 Friday - An offer. It does not have to be related to the offer or course they originally subscribed to. These are people and people do need other things. How many e-books on dog training will your subscribers buy from you? A few the most. Would you believe that most of the money I have earned from my dog training e-course subscribers is on weight loss products?

    A few weeks ago, I purchased a stove-top grill from Amazon. It's easy to use, easy to wash and the grilled steak and chicken taste terrific. I decided that this grill would be my Friday offer to all my subscribers - and I mean everyone I have on Aweber and Getresponse.

    I created a post about the grill using text and images I borrowed from Amazon. It took me about 20 minutes to prepare the post and email message. My assistant asked...."You think they are going to buy this? and I said something like..... "this grill is going to help me spend the next 7 days on a beach in Hawaii".

    It's been more than 2 weeks and the orders are still coming in.

    .... Treat your subscribers right and they will buy almost anything you offer.


    Email #3 - Monday - This is more like a follow up or update to Friday's offer. For example, after I sent the grill offer, on Monday I sent to buyers and non-buyer an e-book about eating healthy - and - two things happened; 1) the buyers thanked me and 2) many of those who didn't get the grill on Friday, got it on Monday - thanks to my follow up and e-book (btw, the e-book contains links to other affiliate offers).

    Lately, I have been sending a third email during the week to give my e-course subscribers a hint of what's coming on Friday. So far, the results have been great.

    People would rather pay money first than take action

    Hi Mah - Thank you for taking the time to read this thread and for your kind words.

    I usually purchase plr products that include videos or give you the option to purchase "look over my shoulder as I do things" videos. If the plr is a good product, but there are no videos, I try find a plr video course that goes with it.

    I use text and graphics (stock images, etc.) for the e-course and give them the option to purchase the entire course after the third day.

    The videos are used as an upsell for those who prefer videos and about 30%-40% of those who like the course will end up upgrading to the videos - which I sell for $17-$27.00.

    I love summarizing articles and pages and I do so throughout each course.

    Here is a summary of this post....
    Give them the text pages for free - use the videos as part of your upsell NEVER give them the videos as part of the free e-course.
    Monetizing An Online Dating Blog - My Way.
    3 weeks ago, I got an email from a young woman asking for tips on how to monetize her dating blog. Today, I got a message from her telling me that the sales are coming in. I thought I share the monetizing tips I gave her on this thread.

    Let's start this with a question and some answers.....
    What do most men really want?
    1- Most men want a bigger THING-A-MAJIG.
    2- Most men want to last longer.
    3- Most men want to date younger women.
    4- Most men want to have the body of Adonis.
    5- Most men want to know how to approach women and say the right thing.
    6- Most men want a wallet full of money.

    Knowing what most men really want makes it really easy to monetize your dating blog. If you help men get what they want, you can earn a very sizable income. Below are some of the stuff I promoted on my dating blog. Some of the reports were developed by me, but you can replace them with affiliate programs from Clickbank.

    1- For men who wanted to be bigger - I would sell them THING-A-MAJIG stretchers. I used to sell at least 2 a day and earn $155 per sale.
    2- For those who wanted to last longer. I would sell them THING-A-MAJIG pills.
    3- For those who wanted to date younger women - I created a special report for them..... "Secrets Revealed: How to date younger women - even if you are short, bald and broke". The price was $27 and it sold like hotcakes.
    4- For men who wanted the Adonis look - I would sell them Turbulence Training. I did great with this CB product.
    5- For those who didn't know how to approach women - I created another report (made changes to a plr product). "The Art of Approaching Women! How To Tell Them What They Really Love To Hear". It also sold for $27.00.
    6- For those who wanted more money - I sold them several options on how to earn money to cover their dating expenses.

    Want to know which was the most read article on the entire blog? It was ... "Does size really matter?This time, I did not tell them what they wanted hear. In fact, after reading the first paragraph, they would be - QUICKLY - on their way to the THING-A-MAJIG stretcher website.

    As you can see, you can make a nice living by helping most men get what they want.

    Best Wishes, Frank

    Hi Issyvee - Peter answered your question above. The pages URLs are sent via emails. The only links you will see are links to pages that you have already viewed. For example - if you are up to day 3, you will see links back to day 1 & 2.
    Best Wishes, Frank

You are then adding your own into and ending to the, using Camtasia. You are also uploading these same video to a fanpage you create for each e-course. Am I following this correctly?

    That is correct.

    This thread is so full of good info and I just got around to coming back to read it more in depth, thank you again for this great post. A few questions...

    1) Are you using paid traffic on FB to get people to your fanpage?

    A few years ago, I was placing fb ads to get fans; but these days, I rarely use paid traffic to get fans. I have several fan pages with over 50k fans each. When I develop a new course / fan page, I just post the links to the new page on the timelines of other pages. Within a few days, I will have several thousands fans for the new page.

    2) Are you able to just downloading the videos in order to use them on FB or are you ripping them?

    Most time I share the video link from my youtube channel to my fan page. This way, the video can be seen on yt or facebook.

    3) Do you just create one e-course for a single site or do you add more e-courses if the site is successful?

    I do add new pages to keep people coming back to read them and view new offers.

    4) Do you ever use free WSO's or solo ads to get more subscribers to your sites?

    I have never used wso's to get subscribers. I used solos many times, but my results were not that great. It could have been what I was offering at the time.

    I do use press releases to announce a new course to the public. It's not unusual to get several hundred subscribers within a few days. I don't, but you could use fiverr for the writing and distribution of press releases. Look for gig owners with 5 star ratings.

    I am spending a lot of time adding blog posts to my site and am wondering if that is a waste of time and should just focus on gaining subscribers and promoting high quality PLR courses to get their love and then promote products such as you are doing. It seems you don't really rely on SEO much as I suppose your sites will gain organic views over time anyhow.

    One of the best ways to build a list is using a blog. Every time you add a post to your blog, send the link to your subscriber. This way, you are keeping your list engaged and building a web asset (your blog). It's like killing 2 birds with one stone.
    QUESTION 1: Does this mean, for example, you have links to 'all' 51 previous pages on the 52nd page? If not, how do you go about pacing links to past pages if the course is 'extremely' long?

    - Most of my e-courses are 7-14 days long; the 52 pages were actually 52 newsletters on an autoresponder.

    The course is delivered as pages on a blog. The pages are kept out of the blog's page navigation structure and past pages links are added manually at the bottom of each page. For example - on day 3, you will find the links to days 1 and 2. It only takes a few seconds to copy and paste these links.

    I do use posts to make offers and review products. These posts are automatically added to the sidebar navigation of each page or day.

    u also speak of having an optin form for 'each' vendor (affiliate) product you promote (you're not in the habit of building someone else's list :-).

    Once they join the course, they are added to my list; thus, I do not have to create a form for each product I promote. Once they make a purchase, they are added to a buyers' list as explained throughout the thread. If they purchase any of my products, they are automatically added to a buyers list. If they purchase another vendor's product, I try to get them to join my buyers list by offering bonuses and incentives that they would have to opt-in for.

    I assume you are promoting lots of vendor products.

    Hi Frank, can you please give your statistics numbers. How many of your subscribers are usually buying. Let's say you have 1000 subscribers, how many of they would buy (estimated number).

    Also what would be the worst stats signalling that the campaign (ecourse) is not working.

        Question

        How do you keep the videos private. For example a person may click the embedded video on the webpage and be taken to youtube and find all videos associated with the course under your channel.

        How do you prevent this from happening?

        Thanks

          Wow Frank,

          Finding a thread like this makes it worth trawling through 100's of threads parroting the same old...

          My question relates to your repeated and sensible advice to choose a niche where people are happy to share, so the word gets spread.

          My problem is I have expertise in a particular area of human suffering. It's a subniche of a huge evergreen niche. These people are upset and ashamed, so they will not share my site or information with friends. However they are desperate and starving for the kind of information which I have, which is very difficult to find online. Bottom line though - my site won't go viral.

          What are your thoughts?

          Tom

            Hi Tom - If you do an e-course on yeast infection, herpes or erectile dysfunction you are not going to find many people that are will to share this info with others. It would be like admitting that you have a\that particular health problem.

            Before you create an e-course, make sure that it provides information that people would be willing to share with friends and family. A large amount of my subscribers are referred by friends and family members.

            Do a search on fb before you start on your e-course. If you see a pages with lots of fans, go ahead and create the course. If you do a search on fb on any embarrassing health issue such as herpes, you will not see to many people liking those pages.

            You can make big money with these types of products by using other advertising methods.

            You can build a private blog on your niche. If it doesn't workout then open it to the public.

            Best Wishes, Frank

            My question relates to your repeated and sensible advice to choose a niche where people are happy to share, so the word gets spread.

            My problem is I have expertise in a particular area of human suffering. It's a subniche of a huge evergreen niche. These people are upset and ashamed, so they will not share my site or information with friends. However they are desperate and starving for the kind of information which I have, which is very difficult to find online. Bottom line though - my site won't go viral.

            What are your thoughts?

            Tom

          Hi Nat -

          Most of our e-courses are text only. If the plr product brings videos, we use the videos as upsells. These are uploaded as zip files to a secure server. The promotional videos are for everyone to see and are uploaded to youtube, facebook, etc.

          Best Wishes, Frank

          How do you prevent this from happening?

          Thanks
          Nat

      Hi SG -
      I really haven't had the time to look at statistics lately. I do login to Clickbank each morning and see plenty of sales coming in daily. Many of my subscribers are repeat buyers as we only recommend products that we have purchased ourselves or received a review copy from the seller. If we don't think a product is helpful, we don't recommend it.

      We have not yet created an e-course that doesn't make sales. Some make more than others. We do plenty of research to ensure that the info that will be provided has plenty of people searching for it on a daily basis.

      Best Wishes, Frank

      Thank you

    Hi Frank, do you use also ad swapping and solo ads to build you list ? I like the idea of building a relationship with the subscribers without hitting the with offers and download links right after they subscribe. I think it's silly to buy solo ads just to make money on OTO to re-coupe the cost of the solo ad. very bad indeed.

      Hi Benomar -
      I did some solo ads in the past, but not for the e-courses. I have not done solo adv for quite a while. I get most of my traffic for the e-courses from the sources listed on the first post.

      I have not done any ad swapping with my list. If you tell people that you are not going to share their info with others and do ad swaps, then you are not keeping your promise.

      Best Wishes, Frank

      Hi Aaron - To be honest with you, I have not logged into google analytic or cpanel for a long time. The only stats that concern me are sales, subscribers and unsubscribers.So far, sales are great; new subscribers are joining every day. Unsubscribers are rare.

      I still remember those days when I would login to clickbank and keep refreshing the page every few minutes hoping for some sales. hahaha

    Hi Frank, thank you so much for all this. I don't have any new words that others have not used already but truly thank you! I know this thread will help a lot of people, God bless.

    I do have a few questions, forgive me if they are silly - I am new to all this.

    1. Regarding Facebook. How would you advise to get your first fanpage decent number of likes, starting with nothing?

    2. Market research. Lets say we choose the photography niche. How do you suggest to conduct the research? Since we are not aiming for Google or SEO, I'm not sure how important this step would be now?

    3. Is emailing on a daily basis really okay? I have read several times that this annoys people.

    Thank you in advance!!

      Hi Hikari - Thanks for stopping by. Below are the answers to your questions.

      1- There are many ways to get fans. A) You can start by sharing your fan page with fb friends... it's not who you know - it's who they know that matters. B) Make comments on fan pages that are related to your niche. C) spend a few bucks a day on FB ads - page likes.

      Do a search on youtube for "how to get facebook likes". You will get lots of ideas on how to get fans - for free and paid.

      2- You can start researching your niche by using Facebook search. This is very important and it will tell you if the niche is worth pursuing. Study successful pages to get ideas.etc.

      3- As far as making offers, I don't send email on a daily basis. My subscribers do a get a daily email giving them the url to access the lesson of day. There is at least one offer within the lesson or page. You could send offers every day if you want to; I don't, but still get sales on a daily basis from the offers posted within the page.

      Best Wishes, Frank

    Hi Frank,

    Your sharing are awesome and wonderful. I have some situations to share. Hope you can shed some lights for me.

    I am in a B2B Industry and we rely on sale person to generate sale. Recently, we started to build an email database from our customers. We managed to have 20% open rate and out of 5000 email sent out, only 2 orders are closed. Typical deal size is between $8k to $200k.

    We are not into advertising and management is seeking for short term effective strategy. Most marketing strategy works well with B2C and not so effective with B2B. Can I seek some advice from you to how I can fulfill my management's goal? I thank you in advance.

      Thank you for your kind words. As far as giving you advice on marketing strategies for your company, I would have to review your entire campaign - which is something I will not be able to do at this time. My business is keeping me very busy these days; plus, I'm also in charge of a project to help homeless children in Latin America.

    Great tip!

    I feel delivering value to visitors and subscribers is shifting big time to curating and summarizing the high quality info that's already out there. Especially in some over saturated niches like Internet marketing where there's very few unturned stones left.

    The key is finding good stuff, especially stuff you normally have to pay for, reducing the major points to snackable bites and sharing it with visitors.

    • Profile picture of the author uwa223
      Hi Angela - Thank you for your kind words.

      For the last two sites that I sold, the new administrators preferred for me to create fb groups for them and invite the subscribers to join. Later they created Getresponse accounts and I migrated the lists to those account.s It's easy to do this with Getresponse.

      You could do the same with Aweber, but it's more than likely that you would have to ask your subscribers to confirm that they want to be part of the new the list.

      I asked the getresponse people if I could transfer an account and they said that it could not be done.

      Best Regards, Frank

    I've been reading this thread on and off for weeks now.

    The more I think about it, the better this method/idea gets - it is pure gold.

    I think the best nugget that I have taken from this, is to choose a subject that people actually like.

    Everyone would like to make some extra money online each month and most people love dogs.

    Easily and readily shareable on facebook/twitter etc.

    Thanks for putting all this amazing information down on the forum, Frank and also answering everyone's questions.

    Hi Frank - all I can do is tell you the same thing you've already been told a hundred times by the Warriors who've read this post - THANKS for all the great insight - you ROCK! I do have a question I'm hoping you will answer for me. I love your idea of not giving them the goods as soon as they opt in - I can see how that can lead to nowhere. Here's the thing though; all of my YT videos direct folks to my opt-in page where they're promised to download the free version of my book. What can I do now to still leverage those vids and make good on the promise of a free book? Can I say something like "thanks for requesting a copy of the book. I'm currently updating it and I will send you the link to grab it within the next few weeks"? Then use that time to send quality informative emails - get them to know like and trust me - then deliver the goods? Is taking that approach ethical? I pride myself in keeping everything I'm doing to build my IM bizz above board. You know, no made-up testimonials, no false claims in my sales letter(s), etc... What would be your advice on this? Thanks!! Dan...

          Hi Frank I have also set up a course but I intend to keep it updated and as learn and i implement new things I will share the methods etc. I have been advertising my free course via classified sites.


          I I did an add campaign on 7 search which cost me $50 and got over 1200 clicks but not one opt in from that .I am guessing that it was robots or they used pop up adds that people just click off and probably count as a click.As most of the traffic to my site only stayed a few seconds or so not even long enough to read a headline.


          I am currently setting up adds on classified sites to my free offer ( I found this method on another tread here a couple of days ago)


          so far I am getting about 2 sign ups a day but it takes a lot of time and effort to set up each add and get approved on each site.
          I am not sure about facebook fan pages and U tube videos can you
          explain more how this works in getting traffic .Cheers Andrew

    Hi Frank,

    I'm setting my funnel up like this. Almost done. Thank you.

    I have a couple questions if you don't mind.

    - Are you selling your own product on bargain friday? Seems like you must be if you're offering a discount by clicking the dog. If not, then how do you offer a discount?

    - You mentioned that you insert affiliate links throughout the text body of the course. And that those links take the user to your landing page, then directs them to the affiliates product. How in-depth do you make your landing page for those affiliate links?

        Hi again Frank - I searched this entire post to see if you had already answered this question and it looks like you haven't. I think it's a question that will help all that read or subscribe to this post - and there are ALOT of us :-) I set up a 7 day e-course exactly as you'd described and my squeeze page invites folks to opt-in to get the goods. I had a colleague take a look at my squeeze page and they brought up an interesting point: people want the answers to their burning questions now; not spread out over 7 days. I thought this was an interesting - and sensible - critique. Whattaya say about that? Do you state 'multi-day' course on your opt-in pages? Or do you couch it in a different way? Again, thanks for ALL the great info! You're a true MENSCH as we say here in NY ;-)

          To NyNyDanDan,

          I would try putting a "instant access" link somewhere in the 2nd to 3rd day(test to see what works best, maybe on day 1?) for a small fee, maybe $3, or whatever. Once someone buys, create a separate list of paying customers. If they buy once, they will likely buy again. Frank mentioned this strategy in one of his posts.

          Isn't the idea to have people waiting to see the next post? Either way, they become paying customers or will pay attention to the next few days worth of emails.

    Perfect. Thank you.

    I just finished setting up my funnel. Whew!

    I actually made a couple sales (basic course) before my funnel was even complete. Nice! Too bad I didn't have the upsells in place at the time, hah. Oh well. They're in place now so just gotta push forward.

    Already have video's on youtube as well.

    Now I'm going to start driving traffic via facebook PPC. See how that goes.

    Thanks again for everything you've shared!

    I agree to you. List building is about developing a relationship with your subscribers, sending them an offer automatically will cause them to unsubscribe. First impression plays a vital role here n old adage that says "you never get a second chance to make a great first impression." Make a killer first impression now

    So many great ideas to learn from your post. Thanks!

    Very true.

    Quick question though: you mentioned you usually promote IM offers, and occasionally dog training products. Do you have some sort of trick on how to find which of these OTHER (non-im) niches have a saturation on each platform?

    i.e - what niches are saturated on youtube?
    what niches are saturated on slideshare?
    What niches are saturated on facebook?

    i don´t know if this info is usefull to all of you, we use a plugin on wordpress to make some pages private... the plugin is free ,its called s2Member Framework, you also have advanced features but paid... this way when you create a new post or page you can put it available to everyone or only for members on your list!

    Hope this helps!

    Hello Frank, Love the thread, thank you.

    I converted one of my products to this method and just in the process of finishing up.

    The problem with not labelling the pages as Day 1, Day 2 etc. it can get confusing to track pages for editing, so I found a solution.

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/notely/

    This plugin allows you to add a note to the admin panel page list so you can label each page and not have Day 1, Day 2 etc. show up in the title or URL.

    Cheers,

    Thank you for that post. It was very insightful and I will take a lot away from it. Not implementing something like this would be foolish to at least test. I will be testing a similar method on my own products.

    I am setting up a site and would like to know what wordpress theme to use. I already have all the content, but don't know how to format the first page that people come to. Is it supposed to look like a long squeeze page, or is short and to-the-point a better approach?

    Thank you

Do not ask me to provide proof of my earnings or links to my squeeze pages as I'm not here to sell you anything.

    Here are some of my list building dos and don'ts -

    ** For the giveaway, I rarely use a report that can be downloaded right after they opt in as a high percentage of subscribers will opt out the minute they get their hands on your report.

    I usually buy a high quality plr and turn it into a 7 to 10 day e-course. I do not use the PDF format to deliver the course. Instead, I do so via a wordpress private blog. I create a page for each day of the e-course. As I create these pages, I do some rewriting - such as changing the titles and headlines; and writing a small, one paragraph intro or summary of the page. I do not use a membership site.

    If you need to know how to keep your blog private - from being indexed by search engines - the video below will show how.

    WordPress Tutorial - How to Block Your Site From Search Engines in WordPress - YouTube

    ** I never redirect people to an offer the minute they opt in. To me, list building is about developing a relationship with your subscribers; sending them to an offer immediately after subscribing is not the best way to start building that long-lasting relationship. I find that waiting at least until the third day before I make them an offer work best in the long term.

    Since I only use high quality giveaways, I give them the option to get immediate access to the rest of the course (on the third day) for at least $7.00 ($17-27 if it includes professional, HD videos). I make this offer on the email that goes out to let them know that day 3 has been added to the blog; and at the bottom of that particular e-course page.

    __________________________________________________ ________

    Here is a trick I learned from the writer of "The 4 Letter Killer", David Bullock; according to David, this eBook was downloaded over 260,000 times. He was great at keeping his subscribers active, happy and anxiously waiting for his next email. I know this for a fact, I was one of those subscribers for over 5 years.

    His offer would be something like this: "Hello Frank, I hope you are having a wonderful day. I found something that can really help you with your online business. This system is so good that I decided to buy the rights to it so I can share it with you. Click the link below for complete details. P.S. Don't forget to click on the elephant at the bottom of the page for a nice surprise."

    When you clicked on the elephant (pink, purple, blue; don't remember the color), you would be taken to a Paypal payment page where the price would be $10-$20 less than the advertized price. I found myself clicking on that darn elephant and buying his products every Friday morning; our relationship lasted until he stopped sending emails 6 years later. I suspect that there were thousands of elephant clickers on his list.

    Later, I found out that the "exclusive product" he bought just for me were resell rights items from the Unselfish Marketer membership site; but this didn't upset me for they were of high quality and I always learned something from them.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ** On the squeeze page, I always use two fields - First name and email address. Personally, I think that if you want to develop a relationship with your subscriber, you need to make them feel that they are more than just an email address to you.

    ** For my squeeze page - I use the one that comes with the product or I develop my own using OptimizePress. Most of the private label rights products I purchase provide excellent marketing material. I also use Presell Crusher to create presell surveys landing pages.

    ** On day 1, I tell my subscribers how important it is for them to stick with the e-course 'til the very end; they get an introduction to the course; my promise to them; what to expect over the next few days, etc. Day 1 is basically a sales or presell letter to the course. It works great! Sometimes, I get emails asking if they can buy the entire course right after they have read Day 1.

    ** I keep my promises. On my squeeze page, I promise that I'm not going to share their info with other marketers, and I keep it. I keep this promise by not doing ad swaps or selling solo ads.

    ** I only email my list two times per week - Freebie Tuesday and Bargain Friday. On Tuesday, I sent them something that is related to the course for free. I make sure the info is good before I send it to them. On Friday, I sent them an offer. It could be my own product or a high quality resell rights products.

    ** I do promote clickbank products within the e-courses. Especially the ones with rebilling. I tell my subscribers that they will be added to a mailing list once they make a purchase; I also remind them that they can get a refund within 60 day and can opt out from the seller's list any time they wish to do so.

    ** My favorite niche is online marketing / mmo as it offers so many products you can offer; but there is one that I really enjoy, it's the dog training niche. I recently developed a course from an e-book and mp3 I purchased 6 years ago. It's a 15 day course, but by the third day I give the subscriber the option to pay a small price to have immediate access to the rest of the course; I get a lot of takers to this offer - and of course, I practice that "David Bullock thing". I have a picture of a dog at the bottom of the sales page and tell them.... Click on my doggie for a nice surprise"; two things happen when they click on my doggie, 1 - they get a $10 discount and .... 2 - I hear my cash register going crazy ... ching!-ching!-ching!

    ** I usually buy a new domain name for each course and install wordpress on the root domain and subdomain. The root domain is for the landing and presell pages; the subdomain is for the private blog I use to deliver the course.

    ** How I promote my e-courses - For each e-course I develop, I create a fan page, a youtube channel and a slideshare account. My goal per day is to upload at least 5 videos to youtube and facebook and 5 presentations to slideshare for the first 7 days. I upload the same videos to youtube and facebook; the power point presentations is basically the same info as in the videos. After 7 days, I have 35 videos on youtube, 35 on facebook, and 35 presentation on slideshare sending free traffic to my e-course squeeze page. Recently, I started buying bookmarking and blog posting gigs from the Warriors For Hire forum and this has greatly increased my traffic and opt ins.

    How long does it take to upload each e-course? In less than a day I can have the e-course, fan page, youtube and slideshare account done. I could do much better - but my love for netflix's sci-fi movies will not let me.

    About my video marketing - My videos and presentations are not spammy; I do provide useful information. I never had any of my videos banned or deleted by youtube. I use youtube's creative commons on a daily basis. Youtube cc has some great videos that you can use as your own without worrying about copyright infringements. They even provide you with an online editor so that are able to add an intro and ending with your info to these videos. Below is the link to the youtube creative commons video editor.

    https://www.youtube.com/editor

    As of today, I have 15 e-courses uploaded and getting me subscribers on a daily basis. My initial goal was to get at least 10 subscribers per e-course - per day. I have achieved that - and more. I have found this to be the best and fastest way to $100 per day online.

    To get started, you'll need a hosting account, an autoresponder and a high quality plr product. I stay away from free autoresponders - as they are not really free.

    If you have any questions - other than asking me for one of my links - don't hesitate to ask.

    I leave you with this.....

    ** As a marketer, you will always be building a list - whether you want to or not. If you are not building a list of your very own .... then .... you are building the lists of the owners of the products you are promoting. Which list do you want to build?

    Best Wishes, Frank
    Hi Frank,

    First of all, I would like to thank you for the wonderful and great quality tips that you have just shared.

    I am curious to know more about the high quality PLR products. Could you tell me where can I get it if I am interested to purchase it?

    Thank you in advance and regards,
    Gan

    I'm in the process of setting this up, videos made, slideshare ready to go, private blog up and running.

    Right now I am just writing summaries for each day of the ecourse after that I need to setup the funnel through paypal.

    I saw from last year there were some people trying this out, it would great to hear from any of them.

    For the last month I was getting subscribers through solo ads, I spent about $800 and made only $200 back, but that was using a freebie Guide off the hop as soon as they signed up they were sent a download link. After that the open rates for my autoresponder went way down.

    My current autoresponder runs for 40 days sending an email every other day.

    In addition to your tips I would like to recommend https://converdiant.com that i've personally used to build lists from my existing traffic. Been using it for a month or so, and I'm quite pleased with the results.

    Do you have any experience in using tools like this one, and if so what would you say is the best strategy?

    All the best

    Thanks for sharing, I needed this. I started my journey September 2015, around that time I made my first post on warrior forum asking a very amateur question. Since then I've learnt a lot made 3 websites, tried lots of affiliate products, ie. T-shirt, clickbank, had 700 clicks to CB and not a single sale (probably worst on record below 1%) so far I've made one sale on Spreadshirt. Every now and then I feel like throwing in the towel but then I pull myself together, and say I'm not giving until I have absolutely no other choice, even though it's really difficult right now. I've always wanted to make money online and the freedom it provides whilst pursuing my passion, since I was 16 or 17. I'm 36 now and I know life is just passing me buy. In the past I haven't tried hard enough or given up too soon. This time I've told myself I'm going to keep trying until I make it or lose everything.
