Niche Blueprint

claytons · 02-28-2010, 06:41 AM

@Food Guru - NB 2 is absolutely applicable for setting up in the UK. The software handles Pounds and VAT, the keyword tool is country specific, etc.

The dropship database certainly has a more US focus...BUT...plenty of them ship internationally and that's only one way we show how to find suppliers...we have 2 other proven methods.

Hope to see you there!

These guys are masters.

I've seen a lot of sales videos (ie The Affiliate Millionaire) and there aren't too many of them that are as artful as the one Steve does with Commission Blueprint 2.0. Seriously, every time I see that video (and I've seen it twice), I get an adrenaline rush and think to myself "If I could only make 1/4th of what he does, I'd be alright."

If this course is more than just a bunch of "look over my shoulder" videos and they offer interactive support (ie: a chance to ask questions and get guidance), then this is probably a really good investment. If Steve comes back to this thread, I'd want him to answer this question.

claytons · 03-08-2010, 09:50 AM

@AFFILIATE ROB - Thanks, Mate...

I'll answer it this way...I've made 6722 posts on our forum (forum started in Aug. of 2009)...and that's ALL interactive support...that doesn't even include our help desk..which is manned by people (we rotate them in and out) that are actually doing this work for us...(in other words they build and manage our ecommerce sites)...we've answered over 10,000 tickets...and, it's so many because we encourage the back and forth.

We're crazy passionate about the BEST support in the business....period.

jbsmith · 03-08-2010, 09:57 AM

I'll certainly back that up - awesome support through both the helpdesk and forums, they certainly do NOT leave you hanging. All that is required from your part is to follow the plan and be consistent.

Hi all, we are IM newbies from Australia wanting to embark on the niche blue print journey. Some questions:

1. Is this a physical educational product that actually gets sent by post to us or are the modules accessible online? A brief overview of the way in which the modules are presented would be helpful if anyone has the time.

2. Can the software which is part of the program be run on Mac?

3. How helpful is the dropshipping program for Australians? Are suppliers regularly updated?

4. Will the technical support be tailored to our "Aussie" needs if be?

Thanks in advance! And any other advice at all before we purchase the product would be most appreciated.

claytons · 03-15-2010, 06:22 AM

@Dudandrams

1. All available online. There are 9 different modules...the sales page (check out my signature) does a great job of breaking each module down and a screen shot or two of the whole delivery area...will give you a great overview of what's in there.

2. Totally Mac friendly...it's all I use.

3. Strong for Aus. and we do update all the time.

4. Yes...we've been doing this for a while now, and AUS is a big market for us.

Dudandrams · 03-16-2010, 04:27 AM

Thanks claytons. Signing up tonight. Where is the best place to purchase?

claytons · 03-16-2010, 04:39 AM

@Dudandrams - right from my signature link works great! You can also do some searches for bonuses...just google nicheblueprint 2.0 and I'm sure you'd find some deals!

Thanks for your interest!

marksinclair · 04-05-2010, 09:18 PM

Steve,

I'm going to buy this. My mind is already made up about that (just getting the funds together). Today though, I got the e-mail about IMeye.

How does that compare to NB2.0? Is that tool comparable to the tools available in NB? Is it going to be necessary to use it in conjunction with the tools in NB? Or if I get NB, will I not need IMeye?

claytons · 04-06-2010, 05:37 AM

@marksinclair - Hey there...thanks for the support!

IMeye is just completely different thing from NB 2.0. NB 2.0 is a complete course on building ecommerce sites, and IMeye is a tool to help uncover opportunities.

They work well together...BUT...if you're only doing ecommerce for now...NB 2.0 contains a tool called Discover Niches. This is "sort of" like an IMeye "lite" for ecommerce. There are some big differences but the bottom line is...if you want to develop ecommerce sites (which is a MOST excellent thing to go after BTW)...geting NB 2.0 without IMeye is just fine.

HollandsFinest · 04-07-2010, 01:47 AM

Thanks, will go for Niche Blueprint soon.

A couple of posts back someone asked a question about dropshipping and how it works since he is from the Netherlands. I already contacted him, since I am from Holland also.

My intention is to build sites with some English content and not in Dutch, because the market is bigger and tools like IMEye are for the English markets. For the Dutch market a lot of the research has to be done manually and the market is a fraction of that of the english speaking customers.

The plan is to setup English sites where I sell products through dropshipping. It doesn't matter where I live right? I am only dealing with the dropshipping companies, but I am not totally sure how this all works. In short: I have the products on my site through a dropshipper, the customer pays the dropshipper directly and he ships the item and I get my share of all the orders once a month? Is this in short the setup?

And is ranking also part of Niche Blueprint? Having a comeplete site is one thing, but do I have to use other tools to get the site ranked or is this also taken care of in NB 2.0?

claytons · 04-07-2010, 04:20 AM

@HollandsFinest

It doesn't matter where you live...this is true!

You have it almost exactly right there...and there are some variations on this. But in general, the customer pays you...you pay the dropshipper, and simply pocket the difference.

As for ranking....yes...a LARGE part of the NB 2 package is the training and tools necessary to rank and get that "free"/organic traffic.

HollandsFinest · 04-07-2010, 04:29 AM

And paying the dropshipper, is this done on autopilot or do do they have to send an invoice?

I can imagine the payments are done once a month or twice a month and not every time there has been a sale.

Is it better to stick with one or two good dropshippers with a lot of products?

Having to deal with a lot of dropshippers spread out over a lot of sites can turn out into a nightmare imo. Paying 1-2 dropshippers is better to handle.

claytons · 04-07-2010, 05:13 AM

@hollandsFinest - there are SO many variations. I'll give you one concrete example.

On our train horn site.

Customer orders, checks out and pays us by credit card or paypal...we get the cash pretty much immediately.

Part of our process is that triggers an order to our supplier/dropshipper. We pay immediately for that with a CC he has on file.

He ships...we are simply pocketing the difference.

That's the easiest way and the cleanest. Another of our stores (which I won't be giving the niche away!) we get a monthly bill for what we bought from them that month. Come to think of it...that's pretty clean and easy too! Maybe even easier...but Dropshippers are reluctant to do that for people right away...it's safer for everyone and makes all those pesky credit references etc. moot if you pay as you go.

Every single site can have variations on these though...there is no one way of doing it.

It depends on the niche with re: to the # of dropshippers. Surprisingly...train horns, which has a small catalog actually has 3-4 dropshippers...and that other niche I was talking about...has about 100 catalog items and we use pretty much 1 dropshipper...so it just depends.

Hope to see you there.

Just thought to post here because you have been very supportive. Since I am a full time IMer now and making reasonable amount of money and a few months back I was on the edge about buying niche blueprint I just thought to come here and let everyone know that I've bought Niche Blueprint now.

Although the price was higher than when it launched but I simply had to get it. :-)

Very pleased with the purchase of NB 2.0 and looking forward to implement it with my current business model.

Cheers Steve

Hi Claytons,

I have been thinking about buying this product for some time but I am unable to make a one time payment at such price. Is there a way to have an installment plan on the product?

Thank you,
-Vicky

markament · 04-18-2010, 07:48 AM

I'm using Niche Blueprint and I love it. I've already used it to build 2 sites that are bringing in nearly $1000 per month. It's really a lot of fun to work with and the software and support included are the best. Thanks!

claytons · 04-18-2010, 08:32 AM

Hi Vicky....sorry for the delay in answering...we currently don't have a 2 payment option. My apologies.
