Looking to hire a Warrior Consultant- Great Fee on offer!

[marktheonlinesurfer]

Hello fellow warriors,

I have truly enjoyed this forum and over the course of the last year and a half I have been trying to learn as much as I can and have purchased a number of WSOs, ebooks, mini-reports and so on. I have been going through a learning curve.

Since discovering this world of IM, it has been my dream to create a full time income online, so I can leave my day job and be free. I have tried several online business models which have failed.

I have now come to the point, where I think I will benefit the most by having a mentor, a consultant work with me.

Here is what it is on offer:

I am offering to pay a reasonable consulting fee for a senior warrior member (you will have to have a track record and be quite successful in IM and have an online business) to have a look at my current business model. I will provide you with all the details on my online business model and I will need you to analyse it and then come up with a strategy report that provides me with constructive feedback and makes suggestions on what I can do to succeed and make money.

I have blew a lot of money so far, I have been spending a lot on PPC, I am in the negative.

My main business model is list building. I am building a list in a particular niche which I am very familiar with (not making money online or IM), in fact I would call myself an expert in that niche. I have a lot of value to offer. However, I am not making any money, I am losing money on advertising. I am not converting my list into sales. Basically, I need a lot of help and I have come to the point where I need a mentor to coach me.

I don't have a lot of money to spend, but I am willing to pay initially a reasonable fee. And after that period, I am also happy to offer a profit-sharing scheme where you will get to profit from my future business growth. I will make sure this will be profitable for you.

This could be a fantastic opportunity for the right warrior.

Please send me a PM if you are interested and tell me a bit about yourself and what would qualify you.

Thanks,

Mark

Mark, please read your post and look at what you're asking for.

You want a Warrior who is very successful (ambiguous, but one could
pretty much guess what you mean by this) and yet you say you don't have
a lot of money to spend.

I see this time and time again. People want the cream of the crop but don't
want to pay for it.

These people ARE as successful as they are because they don't spend time
mentoring people for peanuts. Sure, maybe you might find somebody in the
class that you're looking for who will take you on out of the goodness of
their heart or for peanuts, but if I were a betting man, I wouldn't bet my
life on it.

Now naturally, somebody is going to come along and say, "sure" just to
prove me wrong.

Just make sure you get sufficient documentation from the person that
they are actually as successful as they say they are.

People can talk a good game...but not everybody can deliver.

I wish you luck in your quest.

[ShayRockhold]

I'm gonna have to go with Steven on this one.

If your budget is limited (as you say it is), you might want to find someone more successful than you, but not the top of the class.

That way, you could learn new things from someone with more success than you have, but also be able to pay a more reasonable fee to your mentor.

I agree with Steven on this one, remember my friend you usually get what you pay for...

[write-stuff]

Ditto. If you want good work, you'll have to pay the premium price. If you shop wisely, you should come out ahead in the long run.

Mark,

I'm not jumping through hoops and sending a PM.

You are free to contact me by telephone or Skype
and I'll give you 30 minutes of my time during normal
working hours (10am - 5pm GMT).

Look hard enough and you'll find my contact details.

John

[marktheonlinesurfer]

Thanks for the posts. Out of interest- what is premium price these days?

My budget is limited but not "that" limited. I feel I can afford to pay a pretty good fee. After all, I have spent thousands on online advertising and IM products thus far, so I believe this would be a smart investment.

When I said it would be profitable for the right warrior- I meant it. Of course, I wasn't going to offer peanuts.

PM me a link to your site. I can probably tell you what's wrong in 10
minutes.

** EDIT ** I'm bored tonight and have 2 hours until Desperate Housewives
comes on. If I can't figure out what's wrong in 2 hours then your problem
is way too complex for a simple "walk through" and you'll need some
serious mentoring. We can discuss my fee if you're interested. I usually
don't do this, but like I said, I'm bored and I'm giving you 2 hours for
nothing. I need your site, your advertising avenue, keywords you're using
and anything else you think I should know.

30 minutes with John very well could be better than 3 days with someone else. If I were you, I would take him up on his offer. If you don't, I'm going to call him and pretend to be you

Are you sure because there is nothing in my in box.

[Steven Wagenheim]

Okay, here is what I got out of about 20 minutes on this. I am posting this
here so that others can learn from this.

1. I won't list the actual keywords used (at least the ones I found on the
squeeze page) but here are the KEI stats.

MS CS KEI

960, 247,000 KEI 3.73
0, 154,000 KEI 0
120, 282,000, KEI 0.05
1290, 1,180,000 KEI 1.41
360, 35,400 KEI 3.66
1,620, 169,000 KEI 15.52
360, 31,100 KEI 4.16
210, 956 KEI 46.12
90, 17,000 KEI 0.47
5,010, 123,000 KEI 204.06

MS is monthly searches. As you can see, only 3 of the keywords have
a decent number of monthly searches. Only one is very good.

The KEIs are horrible except for the one, the last one. So the amount
of traffic you're going to get from this isn't going to be off the charts to
begin with. I'll guess that if you get 5 opt ins in a day, that's a lot for
you. Maybe 10 tops.

Next problem is the squeeze page. The copy is so so at best.

Now, this is where the big mistake comes in. If you've been losing
lots of money on this on Adwords, I'm going to guess that you didn't
bother testing this out with free advertising first to see if your system
(newsletter, etc.) converts. You could have probably gotten just as
many subscribers through a steady stream of article writing and then
been able to discover how well you newsletter converts to buyers. That
alone would have saved you tons of money.

I'm going to say, without actually digging into the keywords more,
that your keyword research could have been better. I happen to know
that this niche has potential but not with such a poor selection of
keywords. I mean for crying out loud, your second keyword doesn't get
any searches at all. So I have to ask...DID you even do proper keyword
research?

As for the newsletter itself, in this niche, if you give them too much info,
it's doubtful they'll buy. So I'd have to look at the newsletters to be able
to get a feel for that.

Stop your Adwords campaign. It's obvious that there is a serious problem
and you're only throwing good money after bad.

I've got an hour and a half left before Desperate comes on.

Let's see what we can do until then.

[marktheonlinesurfer]

Thanks a lot for the help Steven!

You are spot on with guessing how many sign-ups I am getting!

Yes I agree keyword research could have been much better.

I am going to stop my adwords campaign for now.

Okay, 2 more problems.

Mark sent me the newsletter. I didn't read them all in their entirety.

I didn't have to.

I could have made a book out of this series.

Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free. The info Mark has
laid out in this series is EVERYTHING you need to know on the subject and
then some. And that's just skimming them. One of the most informative
newsletters I have seen on any subject. Very well written...and way too
much info. So most informative, in this case, doesn't translate into good.

It translates into no sales.

But...with a great product...maybe a prayer.

But that's where the next mistake was made.

The stats of this product suggest to me that is doesn't sell. The gravity
is almost non existent.

So, you compound and overinformative newsletter with a poorly chosen
product and there you have the results.

This whole thing needs a complete overhaul from the approach used to
building the list, informing the list and the choice of the product to sell
to the list.

A 3 strikes total disaster.

All in under an hour.

[marktheonlinesurfer]

Thanks for your analysis Steven. It is very helpful and much appreciated.

Enjoy Desperate Housewives!

Mark, John is one of the good guys.
You should think about taking advantage of what he's offering to you.

[marktheonlinesurfer]

Thanks for your generous offer John.

I will be giving you a call this week.

I'm also looking for a Warrior Forum Coach
who makes anywhere from $5000 a month.

If you make around $5,000+ a month from
internet, I would love to get monthly coaching
from you.

Please PM me or let me know any referrals.

THanks

Mark, there are many of us here who can help you. If you want someone to look at your business plan, then I am more than qualified. Ask Steven, who looked at his and told him what to do to get 6 figures.

I'm with John, I'm not going to jump through hoops either, my information is available here.

Bev is correct Mark. She can help you put together a solid business plan.

I don't know what she charges but whatever it is, it will be worth it.

I take it (by what you are saying) that Mark could compile a better product than the one he is actually promoting with just the information in his newsletter?

Without actually seeing the product, I'd only be guessing, but I can say
that the quality of the newsletter was excellent and if expanded, could be
an excellent product.

Well, there you go Mark, an interesting idea with great potential if you implement the proper business model. It seems to me (by what Steven has analyzed) that you already know a lot about the subject you are promoting.

So you should consider doing your own product on the topic, but first you will need to enhance your own marketing skills.

OR, offer a very high commissions affiliate program, develop a great product and people like Steven and I will promote it for you.
