Nanobloggers? Any info on this?

how2guy · 12-17-2009, 12:30 AM

Does anyone know anything about this Nanobloggers course that Keith Baxter is promoting?

The guy releasing course is Peter Spaepen, and had a previous course called 'blogging to sell' but I can't find any feedback on this.

Thanks,
Thomas

Peter is a good guy and associated with reputable marketers like John Jonas and Andre Chaperon.

Good product too.

Bill

Daniel Deegan · 12-17-2009, 05:34 PM

I really like the product. It's a very simple and elegant system for blogging. The system requires some work but the philosophy behind is much more in tune with the core strengths of the Internet itself.

For some people like me the beauty of the system clearly shines through. But I can tell others are going to question certain aspects of the system because its different than what most of us are use to. There are no keyword tools used, no seo, and you have to be willing to interact within your niches community on a basic level.

It's also not a set it and forget it type system. You have to put in some work every day. At least 20-30 minutes per blog it seems.

If what I just wrote turns you off, honestly don't let it. Peter does a fantastic job explaining and supporting the "why" of the nanoblogging philosophy which makes a TON of sense. It's just different than what were use to from a Internet marketing course.

If your looking to pick it up Andre Chaperon offers a bonus interview with Peter. I'm considering putting together a bonus my self as I have taken some notes and put together a mind map but I'm not sure if I want to share them with others yet.

Black Hat Cat · 12-18-2009, 03:57 AM

Ehhhh......not overly impressed.

Here's the book boiled down to a few words.....find a subject to blog about, blog about things happening around that subject, then spread the word via the usual channels....social bookmarking, Twitter, etc. That's pretty much it in a nutshell.

That'll be $97 please.

The book is heavy on theory, yet weak on actual examples of practical application. There's not a single example of a nanoblog in action, real or fake, no real indication of how one should look when set up, etc. He avoids a step-by-step process because he says step-by-step doesn't work. For $97, I expect step-by-step, I expect you to fill in the blanks, and I expect to see the "theory" in practice. I don't have to spend nearly $100 for someone to tell me to figure it out on my own. I can get that for free.

Frankly, instead of 102 pages and $97, this should have been a 30 page, $27 ebook.....and even then, it might be overpriced. At $97, there's no doubt it is. If he doesn't flesh out the process a lot more over the next 60 days within the membership area, I'll be getting a refund.

Edit:

I have to make a correction, there is a sample nanoblog setup. The first time I saw it I didn't realize it was supposed to be a nanoblog demo, but it's there, so in fairness I have to point that out.

Lucas Adamski · 12-18-2009, 04:24 AM

I think it's a great concept Peter shared in his ebook. It's very simple and involve using various social tools to create leverage. It has a step-by-step plan but you have to prepared to figure some stuff on your own. Also you should have at least some experience in setting up wordress and basic things to follow the plan.

I'm going to try out this system because I think it can be highly profitable and easy to outsource, so will see

Anyway I recommend it to anyone, it's a complete new and fresh view of marketing and selling products online using social marketing.

This pretty much echos my feelings too. I appreciate the theory and the "why" behind each step but it would help greatly if there were some real examples of the process in action.

There are also some points in the book where as the reader we just have to make assumptions about what specifically we need to do. The details in some areas aren't fleshed out fully.

That said, I think the approach is interesting and unique from anything I have read before. But to make it work requires daily commitment to follow the process for each blog you create and I know it will not be something I will follow through on daily.

Which is why I am interested to see what they come up with as far as the outsourcing info with John Jonas that is supposed to be delivered in a couple weeks.

If they can lay out a good workable plan to pass this off to outsourcers, I will be all over it.

Rennell Garrett · 12-18-2009, 08:59 AM

Real example is something that will drive you. Without that its an incomplete book I would say. This nanobloggers is a new thing for me and I am yet to learn something about it.

jkatzenback · 12-18-2009, 10:59 AM

I bought it cause i am always looking for new ideas to expand my affiliate empire with.. lol.

Overall i thought it was a very clean and cool process but not really for me. I did learn about a new online service (Google@Omgili Search) that i was unaware of and love. I think this is perfect for someone who has a few niches they really want to get into and are passionate about or staff that they can have do this. I truly believe it would make money and i think it is a great way to make a blog that people would actually come back to and read and interact with.

Overall for $97 i think it is a solid buy because the plan is sound... if however it was 47 or 67 i would say get it now... because 97, hmmm... unless you really want to get into becoming an affiliate blogger, then it may not be for you.

But again i actually loved it and for what i need i feel i certainly got my value and i am 100% positive I will make my money back from the investment right away.

brainworker · 12-18-2009, 11:09 AM

Can't say if it is worth$97 or $27

But it's definitely good read at the end of year

SimonHarrison · 12-19-2009, 05:43 AM

I actually thought this was a decent product and as he's giving all the proceeds to charity I have no issue with the price tag. Aside from the actual main focus of the product which for once wasn't a total rehash of something else, I actually picked up two small tips that I can apply to some other stuff I'm doing and profit, overall I actually liked it, it's short and sweet with plenty of information on exactly how to carry out the implementation (for the most part).

The only negative for me is that the chapter which deals with the various methods of monetisation, this really needed a demo site for each of the 3 main methods, this was what would have turned a good product into an excellent one.

Overall, this is one of the better products out there, I'm personally happy that it Didn't include 4 PDF's and 30 videos, frankly I find them overated and long winded, his stuff cut to the chase.

maxi991 · 12-19-2009, 05:57 AM

I guess it's a case of finding some kind of unique terminiology to brand your product against all the others.

I found that kind of interesting actually. If this method is as simple and foolproof as he makes it sound, why not set up a couple of 5 figure per month earning nanoblogs to help fund the shelter? Should be a piece of cake for him to do, and would likely return more than this launch will.

Anywho, I'd like to see him expound on the method somewhat. There's an art to forum and blog participation. Basically, he says just make a few posts in a couple of forums and the traffic will start rolling in. Sorry, not buying it....but I'm open to being convinced.

Apparently he already does give $5k per month to the charity from his business so on paper, he already does the above, this was additional revenue for them.

I wanted to share these little tidbits that I found while searching for - nanobloggers - info today. Maybe it will help clear up some of your questions with the program.

Recording of an interview with the owner:

Anyone that doesn't get the theory because there is no "step by step" are welcome to my version of the story. I can show you this method in application and also notify you that it's not something easy to manage without a team. I haven't read the book but can already tell the guy is teaching good stuff, just lacking the skills to teach it properly. Anyways hit me up if you wanna see samples. Rock on.

I think the key phrase here is "without a team."

This seems to require a labor intensive, cumulative effort and is therefore designed to be outsourced.

After I did a little research I concluded that the nanoblogger thing is basically just the first step in a sales funnel for an outsourcing service. (perhaps this is where John Jonas comes in?)

Not that there is anything wrong with that, of course. I just like to know ahead of time.

He's reputable in the "outsourcing" niche if I'm correct and conected to the product so I guess all suspicions are confirmed.

Daniel Deegan · 12-21-2009, 11:05 PM

Hey Margaret can you shed some light on why you think this product is really just part of a funnel for an outsourcing related product? Have you read the actual nanobloggers course?

Nanobloggers is similar to 2 other products actually. It's just more fleshed out and optimized. The products I am referring to are Goobert and 1 particular blogging method outlined in Jack Humphrey's blog success program.

Next will be PICO logs! NANO means 0.000000001 meters but PICO is 1000 times smaller at 0.000000000001 meters. We will optimize our very tiny focused blogs on keywords that get .02 searches per month but since we are so keenly focused and optimized we will be the only one in the serps! Total domination for our market! At one pageview every 5 years it we can expect to make one sale every 500 years. You just have to build 25 trillion of them.

Jeremy Wilson · 12-22-2009, 10:46 AM

I agree that this method would work better if you had a team. at least for me anyway.

If seems if you are not dedicated to doing the require steps on a daily basis you won't be able to build the traffic momentum you need at least not to the point where it starts to scale in your favor.

So I will be waiting for the report about outsourcing the process and then put it into action otherwise I would never be committed to making it work long term if I do it myself.

I would much appreciate seeing samples you referred to. I've looked at a lot of systems/methods and nanoblogging strikes a resonant chord. I'm planning to run with this so any help as to getting my learning curve up rapidly would be appreciated. Thanks.

Gorilla,

Sounds like you've read both Nanoblogger and Goobert is that correct? If so I'd be interested in your perspective between the two products (a comparison of sorts)? I know you said Nanobloggers was a bit more fleshed out, but that doesn't tell me much when I haven't read either product. ;-)

And if you own one or both have you personally applied the techniques taught and if so are you seeing the kind of success the promoters claim?

Thanks,

Stephen

Sancho Sanches · 12-22-2009, 04:47 PM

.X. and I haven't tried this out *yet* but he has read the product, started a plan and started researching niches.

I have also read it and it's pretty interesting, not so much at what you have to do but in the particular sequence it's done.

We are doing a case study at the site probably starting next Monday and we most likely will get out-taskers to help with this job.

I'm looking forward to it because I want to see this work real-time and not in therory but I'm also cringing cause I hate SEO (in the product he says it's not about SEO but when I think "tweets", anything "social", etc. I think "SEO" anyway)

But we're splitting the load and getting paid to do this is pretty cool so I'm not exactly complaining.

It's been interesting reading this thread to see what I might have to look forward to starting in about a week.

The mind map is pretty detailed but you have to get your head around the main product to understand what is going on.

I'll need to go over the main book at least once more to internalize it.

Well, he says he gives $5,000 of his own money...why not simply set up a couple of nanoblogs specifically meant to help fund the charity? Then he doesn't have to part with his own money, and surely they would earn much more than the paltry $5,000 per month he contributes. His students are earning 6 and 7 figures a year using his method. Heck, one of his students is doing 7 figures a year with just one blog. That could buy a lot of dog food. Surely he could easily duplicate that for the good of those poor dogs.

I think you're just jealous Black Hat Cat because you're obviously a cat and have it in for the dogs!

Just kidding!

I am though wondering why he only gives the results of his students and didn't include his own results. And I'm not saying that to be negative as i haven't read the material in question.

I'd also like to know more about the students who were successful. Did they start out using brand new blogs or did they implement the nanoblog techniques on already existing blogs that had traffic to begin with and the nanoblogging tactics just helped these people to go to the next level?

I mean if I had a really good affiliate product in a traffic rich niche is it possible I too could make 5 figures within two months time going from scratch?

At this point as someone who hasn't bought the product or applied the techniques I'm on the fence. I felt there was a lack of detail in the testimonials and in the rest of the sales page in general. It sounds like from people who did buy it that it kind of leaves out some details as well and is more open to interpretation on what to do in some cases. Personally I prefer a more step by step approach.

Guess I'll wait for some more reviews from people who have bought it or have personally used techniques as taught in the course on their own for a while before making any decisions.

I have NOT purchased the product. My comment was based on 1) the advertising material that was emailed to me by affiliates, 2) reviews and blog posts by affiliates, 3) the adcopy on the salespages [particularly the line: In 2 weeks you’ll receive my blueprint for outsourcing (in co-op with John Jonas)] and 4) comments made by other marketers on forums and blogs.

I did not keep a record of my research and I believe I deleted the sales emails but if you Google around and read what is being said you may reach the same conclusions.

Daniel Deegan · 12-23-2009, 09:39 AM

Hey folks, first I just wanted to say happy holidays to everyone. I'm on mobile broadband at the moment so I will try and post more later. Thanks Margaret for the info. Regarding outsourcing, Peter is also suppose to release a guide on crowdsourcing using micro tasks and mechanical turk. This method I think is abit different then what John Jonas teaches. I'm curious to read more about this method when the new outsourcing report is released.

Chris Thompson · 12-23-2009, 01:52 PM

I loved the book / manual / concept.

I think it IS worth $97 (evidenced by the fact that I'm not asking for a refund

)

But here is why I love it even more:

1) The manual could have been more detailed ...
2) The guy suggests you need to buy a $164 them for Wordpress
3) You need to buy Socialbot for another $24

...so there will be a TON of people who buy this and DO NOT EXECUTE. That's good for me

The truth is that if you put any kind of thinking and planning into this, and actually LOOK at his mindmap, you will understand exactly what to do. If you read it once and want instant success, you'll think it sucks. It's 100 pages of content and you NEED to re-read, make notes, etc.

That's why I've been reading this over and over before we begin the case study at the site. Definitely need to look it over more than once.

henrow · 12-23-2009, 04:21 PM

I was trying to find out more about this method and found some FREE audio (3hours worth) with Keith Baxter and Peter S talking about the Blogging to Sell system which gave me a little deeper insight (I think) of what Nanoblogging is?
It's a little dated, but there are some golden nuggets in it.

I can't post links so just Google "blogging to sell" and you'll see John Jonas link. With in this post are links to the audio and at the bottom is link that says Click Here To Get Started where John as created some How to videos and a PDF checklist that I found useful.

Hope this helps some people like it did for me,
Stacy

PS If you google "nanobloggers" with an "s" you'll find John Jonas's Bonus audio for nanoblogger purchasers.

I believe Margaret is correct. John Jonas operates an outsourcing service, and the way the sales page for NanoBloggers is structured, I'm sure it will tie in with John's service. Nothing wrong with that actually, but as Margaret says, it pays to be well informed.

Warrior Simon · 12-25-2009, 11:35 AM

well, I bought nanobloggers and I tell you what, it's the first time that I took a manual and a mindmap on a usb-stick, went to a copyshop and got it printed out in binder-form.

it cost me 20 bucks but I was actually happy to pay it because I want to get the most out of this course. the mind-map looks creepy first but if you read the manual and follow along everything makes perfectly sense.

I'm not through the course yet but will keep you updated on my progress.

btw, I think this is not for complete newbies but for more experienced marketers. my suggestion: stop buying things, get nanobloggers and focus on that.

Hi X and Sancho,

I have a few questions before purchasing through your link for the nanablogging system by Peter. When I purchase through your link, I will automatically receive the updates of the date you released the videos on how you implement using the nanoblogging system?

Do I need to forward you the receipt once I purchased through your link to receive updates?

I was thinking to purchase through Andres link as he offer good bonuses like the 1 hour and 47 mins audio interview but there is no videos on how they did it but since I saw email from you first and you are creating videos on how you do it, I decided to ask what is the necessary actions that I need to make sure I receive the updates and bonuses from you once I purchase through your link.

The email that I receive from you is not detailed enough to understand how I am going to get the bonuses after I have purchased through your link.

I looking forward to your reply. If X is not here, Sancho, don't mind answer this thread.

Thanks,
Winson

No, not automatically. It's on Clickbank

Hi Winsom,

Thanks for asking for clarification.

I will be contacting buyers who appear in
my Clickbank stats. So unless you do not
hear from me, you can assume all is good
if you see affiliate=blackbook1 at the bottom
of the Clickbank order page.

For clarification, I will be working with Sancho
to set up some test sites and see if we can
further streamline the Nanoblogger process,
which I think we can, and also add whatever
from my own approach (not to suggest Peter
isn't already brilliant here).

I already have my own mind map that I'm
adding to which helps organize the info
a little better for my own needs, as well
as including things like links to the plugins
you need, etc.

The end goal for me is to test this enough
that I can easily hand it off to be outsourced
and I will share those materials.

Mainly, I want to do the webinars to help
people work through the process - we'll do
at least 2 webinars and maybe as many as
4.

Also Peter S is on my list and contacted
me after my promotion to say he'd be
happy to join in - don't know what level
of commitment that means but it should
just add that much more value.

Hope that clears everything up.

X

PS - Again want to repeat that with a
new baby due any day now that's the
priority in my immediate schedule, so
I can't make any promises on a start
date. I will promise no later than the
first week of February.

milo_pl · 12-29-2009, 08:14 AM

I can't believe how many people are getting excited by this. Sure it is a great method, but it's one of the oldest...

The best way to sell(especially through blogging and any other social platform) is to "not sell" so to speak.

By putting on the front that you are an un-biased 3rd party, you automatically make your readers put their guard down.

Sancho Sanches · 12-29-2009, 09:59 AM

Hi, Milo_pl

I agree. It wasn't anything new
to me either in theory but I think
people are attracted to the steps
specifically laid out for them and
the belief that it works.

And to anyone who wasn't exactly
privy to this type of thing it is new
to them.

I think the way it's presented helps
give people confidence in what they
are doing.

I just wanted to post a quick follow up.

What I find really appealing about the course is as follows.

- The focus on a traffic generation method that ignores Google (sorta) and does not rely on paid methods or SEO.

- The writing style and systematic approach of things. Peter does a GREAT job in explaining why he does things in such a way that you really believe what he says works. However this is a double edged sword for him... If it works as he says then everything is all good. If it doesn't work as described hes going to catch some serious flack.

He presented the content as a surefire method. He took over 80 pages to explain the WHY behind things to really convince the reader that he knows his sh*t. He then laid out the actual system of implementation in a handful of pages. On the surface it seems brilliantly simple and elegant.

But...there are holes that become apparent when you start trying to implement the methods. Some things the reader can figure out on their own (dependent on their skill level). Yet there are certain things that need a better explanation. Other things need to be edited and corrected. Hes working on clearing all this stuff up so will see how that goes.

So the bottom line is that the program is worth the money as long as one has enough experience and understanding to sift through the information and use it? Is this what I am getting?

Well....yeah, lol. If you can figure out how to make it work, it is definitely worth the money.

According to the salespage, Peter is supposed to release a full case study of a working, real life nanobloggers project in a few weeks. If he follows through on that, it should fill in a lot of blanks.

Check it out.....if it's not for you, get a refund.

Definitely a fleshed out version of Michael Campbell's GooBert method - I won't say direct rip but it's nearly that.

There is no doubt it works very well, but it IS time intensive and is only really usable with your favorite sites. There are aspects of it that could be considered borderline with the latest tougher approach by the FTC (adopting different persona etc.).

I really like the product. It's a very simple and elegant system for blogging. The system requires some work but the philosophy behind is much more in tune with the core strengths of the Internet itself. For some people like me the beauty of the system clearly shines through. But I can tell others are going to question certain aspects of the system because its different than what most of us are use to. There are no keyword tools used, no seo, and you have to be willing to interact within your niches community on a basic level. It's also not a set it and forget it type system. You have to put in some work every day. At least 20-30 minutes per blog it seems. If what I just wrote turns you off, honestly don't let it. Peter does a fantastic job explaining and supporting the "why" of the nanoblogging philosophy which makes a TON of sense. It's just different than what were use to from a Internet marketing course. If your looking to pick it up Andre Chaperon offers a bonus interview with Peter. I'm considering putting together a bonus my self as I have taken some notes and put together a mind map but I'm not sure if I want to share them with others yet.

Black Hat Cat Senior Warrior Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: , , . Posts: 2,263 Thanks: 21 Thanked 584 Times in 327 Posts	Re: Nanobloggers? Any info on this? Ehhhh......not overly impressed. Here's the book boiled down to a few words.....find a subject to blog about, blog about things happening around that subject, then spread the word via the usual channels....social bookmarking, Twitter, etc. That's pretty much it in a nutshell. That'll be $97 please. The book is heavy on theory, yet weak on actual examples of practical application. There's not a single example of a nanoblog in action, real or fake, no real indication of how one should look when set up, etc. He avoids a step-by-step process because he says step-by-step doesn't work. For $97, I expect step-by-step, I expect you to fill in the blanks, and I expect to see the "theory" in practice. I don't have to spend nearly $100 for someone to tell me to figure it out on my own. I can get that for free. Frankly, instead of 102 pages and $97, this should have been a 30 page, $27 ebook.....and even then, it might be overpriced. At $97, there's no doubt it is. If he doesn't flesh out the process a lot more over the next 60 days within the membership area, I'll be getting a refund. Edit: I have to make a correction, there is a sample nanoblog setup. The first time I saw it I didn't realize it was supposed to be a nanoblog demo, but it's there, so in fairness I have to point that out.

It has a step-by-step plan but you have to prepared to figure some stuff on your own. Also you should have at least some experience in setting up wordress and basic things to follow the plan.

I bought it cause i am always looking for new ideas to expand my affiliate empire with.. lol. Overall i thought it was a very clean and cool process but not really for me. I did learn about a new online service (Google@Omgili Search) that i was unaware of and love. I think this is perfect for someone who has a few niches they really want to get into and are passionate about or staff that they can have do this. I truly believe it would make money and i think it is a great way to make a blog that people would actually come back to and read and interact with. Overall for $97 i think it is a solid buy because the plan is sound... if however it was 47 or 67 i would say get it now... because 97, hmmm... unless you really want to get into becoming an affiliate blogger, then it may not be for you. But again i actually loved it and for what i need i feel i certainly got my value and i am 100% positive I will make my money back from the investment right away.

I actually thought this was a decent product and as he's giving all the proceeds to charity I have no issue with the price tag. Aside from the actual main focus of the product which for once wasn't a total rehash of something else, I actually picked up two small tips that I can apply to some other stuff I'm doing and profit, overall I actually liked it, it's short and sweet with plenty of information on exactly how to carry out the implementation (for the most part). The only negative for me is that the chapter which deals with the various methods of monetisation, this really needed a demo site for each of the 3 main methods, this was what would have turned a good product into an excellent one. Overall, this is one of the better products out there, I'm personally happy that it Didn't include 4 PDF's and 30 videos, frankly I find them overated and long winded, his stuff cut to the chase.

Hey Margaret can you shed some light on why you think this product is really just part of a funnel for an outsourcing related product? Have you read the actual nanobloggers course? Nanobloggers is similar to 2 other products actually. It's just more fleshed out and optimized. The products I am referring to are Goobert and 1 particular blogging method outlined in Jack Humphrey's blog success program.

I agree that this method would work better if you had a team. at least for me anyway. If seems if you are not dedicated to doing the require steps on a daily basis you won't be able to build the traffic momentum you need at least not to the point where it starts to scale in your favor. So I will be waiting for the report about outsourcing the process and then put it into action otherwise I would never be committed to making it work long term if I do it myself.

Any info on this? .X. and I haven't tried this out yet but he has read the product, started a plan and started researching niches. I have also read it and it's pretty interesting, not so much at what you have to do but in the particular sequence it's done. We are doing a case study at the site probably starting next Monday and we most likely will get out-taskers to help with this job. I'm looking forward to it because I want to see this work real-time and not in therory but I'm also cringing cause I hate SEO (in the product he says it's not about SEO but when I think "tweets", anything "social", etc. I think "SEO" anyway) But we're splitting the load and getting paid to do this is pretty cool so I'm not exactly complaining. It's been interesting reading this thread to see what I might have to look forward to starting in about a week. The mind map is pretty detailed but you have to get your head around the main product to understand what is going on. I'll need to go over the main book at least once more to internalize it.

Hey folks, first I just wanted to say happy holidays to everyone. I'm on mobile broadband at the moment so I will try and post more later. Thanks Margaret for the info. Regarding outsourcing, Peter is also suppose to release a guide on crowdsourcing using micro tasks and mechanical turk. This method I think is abit different then what John Jonas teaches. I'm curious to read more about this method when the new outsourcing report is released.

I loved the book / manual / concept. I think it IS worth $97 (evidenced by the fact that I'm not asking for a refund ) But here is why I love it even more: 1) The manual could have been more detailed ... 2) The guy suggests you need to buy a $164 them for Wordpress 3) You need to buy Socialbot for another $24 ...so there will be a TON of people who buy this and DO NOT EXECUTE. That's good for me The truth is that if you put any kind of thinking and planning into this, and actually LOOK at his mindmap, you will understand exactly what to do. If you read it once and want instant success, you'll think it sucks. It's 100 pages of content and you NEED to re-read, make notes, etc.

It's a little dated, but there are some golden nuggets in it. I can't post links so just Google "blogging to sell" and you'll see John Jonas link. With in this post are links to the audio and at the bottom is link that says Click Here To Get Started where John as created some How to videos and a PDF checklist that I found useful.

Any info on this? well, I bought nanobloggers and I tell you what, it's the first time that I took a manual and a mindmap on a usb-stick, went to a copyshop and got it printed out in binder-form. it cost me 20 bucks but I was actually happy to pay it because I want to get the most out of this course. the mind-map looks creepy first but if you read the manual and follow along everything makes perfectly sense. I'm not through the course yet but will keep you updated on my progress. btw, I think this is not for complete newbies but for more experienced marketers. my suggestion: stop buying things, get nanobloggers and focus on that.

Any info on this? Hi X and Sancho, I have a few questions before purchasing through your link for the nanablogging system by Peter. When I purchase through your link, I will automatically receive the updates of the date you released the videos on how you implement using the nanoblogging system? Do I need to forward you the receipt once I purchased through your link to receive updates? I was thinking to purchase through Andres link as he offer good bonuses like the 1 hour and 47 mins audio interview but there is no videos on how they did it but since I saw email from you first and you are creating videos on how you do it, I decided to ask what is the necessary actions that I need to make sure I receive the updates and bonuses from you once I purchase through your link. The email that I receive from you is not detailed enough to understand how I am going to get the bonuses after I have purchased through your link. I looking forward to your reply. If X is not here, Sancho, don't mind answer this thread. Thanks, Winson

Hi Winsom, Thanks for asking for clarification. I will be contacting buyers who appear in my Clickbank stats. So unless you do not hear from me, you can assume all is good if you see affiliate=blackbook1 at the bottom of the Clickbank order page. For clarification, I will be working with Sancho to set up some test sites and see if we can further streamline the Nanoblogger process, which I think we can, and also add whatever from my own approach (not to suggest Peter isn't already brilliant here). I already have my own mind map that I'm adding to which helps organize the info a little better for my own needs, as well as including things like links to the plugins you need, etc. The end goal for me is to test this enough that I can easily hand it off to be outsourced and I will share those materials. Mainly, I want to do the webinars to help people work through the process - we'll do at least 2 webinars and maybe as many as 4. Also Peter S is on my list and contacted me after my promotion to say he'd be happy to join in - don't know what level of commitment that means but it should just add that much more value. Hope that clears everything up. X PS - Again want to repeat that with a new baby due any day now that's the priority in my immediate schedule, so I can't make any promises on a start date. I will promise no later than the first week of February.

I can't believe how many people are getting excited by this. Sure it is a great method, but it's one of the oldest... The best way to sell(especially through blogging and any other social platform) is to "not sell" so to speak. By putting on the front that you are an un-biased 3rd party, you automatically make your readers put their guard down.
