Brutal & Shocking Critique - Will They Survive It?

23 replies
Warriors Peter here.

Well I knew it was going to happen sooner or later.

I've been challenged and being put to the test so I'm requesting
your feedback.

A fellow marketer who is actually well known has basically told me to
"put my money were my mouth is" or shut up in regards to how I do
affiliate marketing, generating traffic to websites, and building very
profitable niche businesses.

Well in a good way they said that ( I think) either way I kinda took it
as a slap in the face like in the olden days when the Frenchmen slapped
each other in the face with their gloves and then they dueled with the
swords.

So here's whats going on, which couldn't be better timing (funny how the
universe works)

Another fellow warrior has asked me to rebuild their business for them
from scratch as they have a website up for a year and haven't made one
single sale from it (ouch!)

An entire year can you imagine

So bottom line, do my techniques and strategies for building a legitimate
5 to 6 figure income per year niche business work?

Well this is what the challenge is about from the other well known marketer.
(I'm dying to reveal his name but I said I wouldn't as I'm not here to fight
with anyone, everyone has their own blueprint to success)

I'm basically going to rip apart this warriors business who has given me
permission in an open forum to do so and in 3 video sessions I'll be telling
him exactly how to rebuild his business and in 30 days or less he will be
on the way to achieving what so few people do and thats having a successful niche business in a very lucrative field.

Also I'll be showing my fellow warrior how to build their business without using a paid advertising model. Totally free organic traffic and the power of web 2.0
( I know kinda crazy isn't it)

Look they should be using some type of paid advertising but I just want to show the power of web 2.0 at work (its lethal when you know what your doing)

So I bet your wondering where you fit in as a fellow warrior?

That's easy.

I need you to critique my work as I rip apart this warriors
business to see if you think I know what I'm talking about.

The warrior brood has a funny way of coming to a fellow warriors side
like no other forum on the internet, so I'm requesting your feedback.

Good, bad, or indifferent.

Who is the ultimate winner in this little "put your money where your mouth is" square off?

Well everyone.

*The warrior who's business I'll be ripping apart and showing in detail
how to build a profitable niche business.

*Myself, as the warriors help me to get continually better

*You and the Warrior forum itself

As Allen has suggested the warrior forum has an uncanny instinct
to make money out of thin air and contribute making brand new
six figure and million dollar income makers.

That doesn't happen without the warrior mind coming together and
contributing to a fellow Warriors side.

When that fellow warrior wins *EVERYONE WINS*

Its the abundance mindset and the law of reciprocity at work.

I'm not going to reveal the niche here, but its hot and very lucrative.
Matter of fact I might just push into it myself as I help this warrior.

So to get all the juicy details the first video is up for you to watch
as I brutally assault my fellow warriors business and tell them
how to restructure it.

You can watch the first video of 3 here...
The Only Way To Help A Fellow Warrior Is To Do This...

Now I got a bit excited throughout the video, but I'm not
yelling or anything, I'm just getting passionate about what
this warrior should do.

Its kinda the way I am, and if you've watched any of my videos here
you'll know that I'm just kinda to the point and get the voice going where
I kinda stutter and pause in quick places.

(By the way I had a devastating stuttering problem since birth which I
overcame by using techniques in this niche so its kinda fate I guess)

I'm requesting your help on critiquing the critiqor if that's a word.

Together lets help out a warrior who's been struggling for an entire
year and hasn't sold a single unit from their site, to sell a truckload
of products and create income out of thin air.

Here's the movie link again
Success Using The Warrior Abundance Mentality

Give the video a few seconds to load its pretty meaty.

To your continued online success

Peter

P.S. Allen hope your watching and keeping notes, your comment
whether its a little or a lot is going to help everyone. Told you I might
make a little video ;-)

    Great idea Peter. Count me in.

    Watching the video now.

    Edit: Great video. I too suffered from the 1,000 things to do home page and have gradually cleaned them out.

    Looking forward to video 2

      Hello Everyone,

      This is Joshua Houghton, the owner of whatsonmybrain.com

      First off, I want to thank Peter for offering to help me. I'm brand new to internet marketing as you can tell from reading my other post on the forum. As the video said I have had my blog for about a year and actually longer than that. It was a personal type of blog where I would just tell people what was on my mind and since that was taken I went with whatsonmybrain.com

      Later I got into hypnosis and since hypnosis deals with the brain I thought that domain would work fine since I owned it already. I guess not!! that is fine though, just thought you guys would like to hear my thoughts as this progresses along. I will continue to post my progress for all warriors to succeed because one success is the success of many.

      Now I have had my site for a little longer than a year and to be honest the only income producing thing I had on it was adsense. I had once received a $100 adsense check, but after that I have never seen another check. The first thing people told me to do when I discovered this site was to remove adsense and they gave many reasons why and thus I did. Still, going back a while I got super serious into making money off of my blog about 8 months ago. I have found this place through yaro's blog and started to make some changes such as mailing list above the fold, a new template which is one in the video and other little things. I have tons of affiliate programs set up through direct affilaites, clickbank and nothing, nothing, nothing never one dime. Funny too because I rank pretty good for keywords such as Hypnosis Blog, Reviews of the names of my products and etc, but never a sale, nothing, zipo.

      Now, my site has always been about providing value to people and credible hypnosis information. I got smart one day and decided to have guest writers to help me produce my content and its working great as far as content goes. Yet even with the biggest names in hypnosis on my site, nothing.

      My thoughts behind it were if I provide tons of great value than I should receive it back, but it hasn't worked out that way. I have got other great advice as well from people on this forum and I have been applying what I'm learning. So let me get to business here.....

      I have already started to make the changes Peter has recommended in the video. I just saw the video when it was posted early this morning on the forums. I pretty much work by a computer so I will be able to make changes the instant the videos come out and of course after I watch them. So if you visit my blog please excuse the mess as I'm trying to do as Peter suggest. Some of this stuff is way beyond me such as the template, but hopefully when I talk to Peter for the first time on the phone he can help me with those issues.

      I agree 100 percent with what Peter has said and I'm doing what I can to make these changes. The stuff he recommended to me is honestly stuff I never thought of or would think of. I always had the midnset more content equals more value which would equal more sales. As I said that model isn't working yet at least. My financial situation is very bad right now and I need this to happen for me. Hypnosis provides a okay lifestyle, but I have tons of debt from my years in the real estate game. I have nothing to lose so please just keep me on the right path everyone because I want to be one of those people to write a post on the forum and say I got my first sale. As I mentioned I will keep posting my progress here on the site. Please feel free to visit the site and see this as it happens...here is what I have done so far since viewing the first video.....

      1. Looking for a new domain address which has the word hypnosis in it. (I wonder how this will work. Will i lose all my content when I switch over?

      2. Making the necessary changes to the blog that peter recommended. Most of the stuff can be done through the dashboard, some can't so some of it will take some thinking and work.

      3. I have decided to go with the information auth. type of blog Peter mentioned. I think this will fit with how my blog is currently set up to degree. I already have tons of content and rank high for keywords such as Hypnosis Articles, hypnosis blog, and many others.

      4. Remove the rss feeds and place them in one spot. I have removed the top rss feed and will just leave the box that says subscribe to Rss Feed.

      5. Remove all banners. I have removed the 4 ad boxes, but must leave the other one up for a few days as it was a deal arrangement for someone in exchange for a $1000 hypnosis course. I will be able to remove it within a few days as the agreement states.

      6. Remove the middle section of the blog. I'm assuming Peter wants me to get rid of that part from the video. A little confused on that but at least to make it look less clutered. I have saved the code in case he wants me to put it back.

      7. I would like to work on the header to make it bigger, but that is beyond my knowledge as well as the featured box. I have a idea on how to make it work, but will run it by peter.

      So far these are the changes that has been made and won't make any more until I see the next video. I don't want to make some changes only to have to redo them again. I already put about 4 to 5 hours a day into this blog. I don't have the funds to outsource at all. Well, at least yet!!!

      Since I have joined this community everyone has been so helpful to me and to be honest I was almost at the verge of quitting my attempts to make money off of my blog. I would have kept the blog going as I truly love hypnosis and helping people through the information I provide on my site. I just would have stopped trying to make money. I have never quit anything in my life and it may be hard for some people to understand but my blog is my hobby, its what I enjoy. I'm married so I dont have a lot of free time and the time I do have i put into my blog. I truly have to succeed and I know that any advice I'm giving by all of you and Peter is in my best interest.

      Now for those of you thinking this is a marketing ploy I don't know Peter and just met him the other day on the warrior forum. I asked him for advice after seeing his Fable 2 niche video which I thought was just too cool. He offered to do this for me and I'm not turning down free advice.I didn't know about the challange either, but my only concern is to make this happen and to put Peter's advice into play.

      This is a dream of mine to start making money from my blog and all I want is one sale, one sale to make me jump to the sky and yell this stuff works. I need the help of everyone on these forums and the support. I know some of you don't know me, but since I have been here I have been made to feel like family. This means everything to me. So please everyone help me to make my first sale and to hopefully make more than that.

      I don't know a lot about this field, but I'm learning more everyday and I may need feedback from others. I need this to happen for myself and my family. I'm willing to do whatever it takes. I'm already broke so what do I have to lose.

      I will be making changes as soon as each video comes out. So feel free to check out my blog and see the progress that i make as I do them. Don't be looking for changes everyday because I can only make the changes once I watch the videos on the forum. I don't want you guys wasting time checking out my site every moment to see progress. I will keep reporting the progress in this blog as it happens. It may not be perfect but I am hoping to learn as I do.

      Thank you for everyone and most of all Peter for helping me out and doing this for me as the simple truth I wouldn't have the money to pay for something like this. I know he must be busy with other products.

      Man, I'm just so excited to see what will happen and what is the next step. I know with you guys backing me I can make this happen.

      Well I'm not a guy that minces words and I'm not here to fight with anyone, that's not my mindset. Its about helping people succeed and giving someone a chance.

      As far as the challenge that was issued to me, that's 100% legit, Everyone is looking for proof now a days in this industry so I'm thinking..."ok lets give it to some of the nay Sayers."

      As far as the timing of Joshua contacting me and asking for help. Yes I can see that you might think its too convenient but guess what... It is what it is, and Joshua isn't the first to contact me over the last week screaming for help.

      Joshua the warrior forum will help you, I'll help you. I can't spend that much time with you but I did tell you I'll give you a blueprint and its up to you to control your destiny from there and take MASSIVE ACTION.

      Success breeds success, negativity is just that, negativity or skepticism just crawls into a hole and dies a slow painful death, those that think like that are usually "broke" anyways so it gives them all the pleasure in the world to try and "beat down" others, but it doesn't work.

      If there is one thing I've learned from this Warrior forum that is missing from thousands of other forums is the abundance mindset that breathes in here.

      The abundance mindset in here is a living breathing entity. If your successful you feel it, you levitate towards it, and you devour it. You can't get enough of it.

      Everything else, all the other silly post that are in here you just ignore it.

      Go and make money.

      To your continued online success

          Peter,

          This is great. I want to watch what you do and I think it is great. I don't care if it is convenient or not. It is always a golden opportunity when you get the chance to help someone as those karma will typically come back to you. I think it is wonderful what you are doing and I plan to learn from it too, so I will be back to see how this goes.

            UPDATE

            Hey everyone,

            Okay here is what I have done today since my last update.

            1. I have talked to Joel The Blog tech guy and he said he should be able to make my blog more like Peter describes. I will have to talk to Peter when we do our phone meeting and get more info about the template. This will be the hardest part as I can't do it myself. Unless someone has a template they can share which is similar to what peter describes. He only charges like $60.00 bucks and I have used him once before. I don't really have the money to pay him so I will have to borrow it or at least try. I told him to wait until I see the rest of the videos and talk to Peter.

            2. I have a list of domain names that I have checked that are available. Currently I have about 25 different ones. I will review this list with Peter and see what we think will work. I was actually shocked at what I saw was still available.

            3. I have got a few bad e-mails from some of my readers who are seeing Im making changes. The way I see it is they we'rent buying anything so what can they complain about.

            4. I'm about to add Aweber soon and I have recorded a podcast for my readers to listen to in exchange for opt in. Still working on a free report, but it may be a few days or weeks until complete.

            5. I have limited the articles on the page to about 3

            6. I have eliminated the middle bar competely and talked to my friend who wanted ad space in return for a expensive hypnosis program. He is letting me remove the banner for now.

            Well thats all for now until I hear from peter or see the next video. I feel that first sale sale coming soon. First we may lay the foundation and than build the house. My guest writers will be happy as well as I'm sure they will receive more publicity once my blog is revamped.

            Any Warrior Members out there following please let us know your thoughts.

            Thanks,

            Joshua Houghton

      Thank Jimmy, that's how videos should be made in my opinion. The videos should bring you closer to your preferred outcome.

      You should make videos that teach not only theory but show the practical application behind it so your prospect see's "proof" of it actually working.

      Its not always about showing big "cash screen shots" sometimes the real "money shot" is showing someone how to apply the technique.

      Of course we're all marketers so you should always be preselling in your videos but when you do it right, heck you don't have to "hammer" anyone in your video to buy, naturally they'll just say..."damn were can I get more of this stuff"

      The second video is almost ready I'll have it for everyone on Wednesday and it may "shock" a few people about SEO

      I'm sure I'll take some "heat" over how the google external keyword tool is actually very good for seo purposes as a few people seem to think its not as effective for seo and should be used just for PPC purposes.

      Bottom line you have to understand your data sources and know how to work the information

      I may open a few "eyes" on this one ;-)

      I look forward to reading your response, as well as everyone else, that's why I created the videos for everyone that wants to learn to learn. So far its been very eye opening as to what people think with the emails I've been getting.

      Many of the responses pretty much say I should be packaging up these videos and selling them, as a couple of the people have said they've learned more in these free videos than what they paid for a $997 infoproduct.

      To that I say..."Thank you"

      To your continued online success

      P.S. Interesting sig file by the way I'll have to look at who's doing what with the product ;-)

        Hey Everyone,

        Just a quick update as I'm feeling a little sick tonight. I watched the second video by Peter and jumped on the domain he came up with. I want to keep this thead organic so nothing but truth from me. I was a little confused when I watched it because I thought the videos were all for my blog.

        At first I thought he wanted me to rename my blog self-hypnosis-cd.com and to be honest I would have because I know Peter knows what he is talking about. I didn't understand really why he was going into weight loss cds and stuff as technically I'm only a affiliate for one weight loss hypnosis cd.

        I was thinking we were going to rename my blog, how to set up my blog page navigation and other things as I decided to go with the information based stragety. So the 2nd video had tons of great info, but I was confused, what does this have to do with my hypnosis blog? How am I going to make money off of my blog when we are talking about weight loss?

        I decided to watch the video again and than it clicked for me. It hit me like a hammer. We strayed a little bit from the blog and how to actually set up which I'm hoping the final video will clear up as I'm still not sure what to do with the domain I registered as I don't really like self hypnosis cds beside the one I'm a affiliate for. This is when it hit me. Peter was doing more than just helping me with the blog.

        Peter was showing me how to discover these niches. He was showing me how to find the money and as they say teach a man to fish and he can eat forever or something like that. Peter was showing me how to do the research and me being a complete noob didn't even notice.

        So while I'm still confused about the domain as to what I will do with it as I don't sell hypnosis cds I tend to like to sell dvds training and such he has showed me a great domain within a great niche which could have very powerful selling power. Peter can't do everything for me and as I learn more that site will become powerful. A question to other warriors, if you had this domain which i have what would you do with it?

        So after studying the video for a third time I went and actually said what do i got to lose and went and registered pretty much every niche peter showed me. Out of all the ones I bought I feel the easier one to do something with is weight-loss-hypnosis-cd.com as I have made that into the landing page for weight loss hypnosis cd I'm affiliaed with. The other weight I am joint venturing with some.

        Just by watching this video and some inside secret tips from Peter over e-mails I have successful set up a couple of different niches and I'm number 1 in google already. No sales yet, but the products I'm working with have just been released and the hypnosis community does buy products like the IM trade does. I just feel lucky to receive this type of help. I'm learning a lot and while still confused on many things. Peter even with his super busy schedule has taken the time to help me out as he is busy with his own stuff too.

        So with all my newbie glory I came to realize peter lesson went beyond my blog and he was showing me the meat of this special project.

        As far as updates on the blog. I don't have the funds yet to pay for the changes needed to make like adding the video which requires massive changes in the template code and I have decided to wait till the finally video where I'm hoping peter wll break down the whole navigation thing on my blog since he said at one point to take away the links, but keep them if I was doing the information hub which I am keeping that way.

        It turns out I may be keeping the name of my blog as whatsonmybrain.com after talking to peter he agrees to keep this one going as I rank pretty high with many of the keywords in my niche. Peter may correct me on this one though. So other than that I have just been learning how to research niches, keywords and learniing from the lessons Peter is giving me. I have been studying other people as well.

        I'm dying to see the next video and see which lessons I can learn. Its like hunting for treasure in a way because when I watch the videos I don't notice all the tips peter is giving me, so each time I watch them I pick up something new.

        I look forward to hearing the feedback from fellow warriors as it really helps me out. Peter is guiding me a lot, but this is a communtiy and I want to learn from the community as well.

        Well until my next post

        Joshua Houghton

    Warriors, Peter here.

    Well this has been a real journey indeed and it
    has come to a great end.

    Third and final video is up for Joshua and for
    all to see and I must say one thing.

    If I had someone do this for me years ago
    someone that laid out a blueprint, provided
    me with the fundamentals and explained the
    principals of internet marketing and making
    money online, I would have been a
    multi-millionaire a very long time ago.

    Within 3 videos you now have the key to making
    money online and a solid foundation as to how
    to make it using simple strategies with
    organic website rankings, traffic conversion
    and various backend monetized streams.

    I would be shocked if after watching all three
    videos you can't make money from organic
    search and backend income streams I would
    definitely have to run through the streets naked
    and have someone upload it to youtube.

    I will however make a caveat...

    1. This last video I do get a bit "heated" so
    I think there's some profanity in it so I'll
    apologize now for it.
    (makes for some kick butt entertainment)

    Reason being I'm putting together some
    massive information products in other niches
    that are draining me and I get easily ticked off
    when I got to go back and explain stuff.

    (Hey I'm only human)

    2. There is obviously some stuff that I did have to
    edit and leave out as that's how I make my
    lobster and steak(money)

    I have to be fair to my previous paying students,
    clients, and partners and future students,clients
    and partners as well that do pay me thousands
    of dollars to learn advanced strategies.

    But like I've said, you've got so much content and
    a structured way of making money that I just don't
    see how you can't make money.

    The only way I can see you not making any money
    with this journey is if you or anyone that's been watching
    the videos is to come off rude, or piss off or just plain
    have a rotten attitude to your future partners and niche market
    then yes you won't make a dime.

    Joshua you don't strike me as a person that will
    be negative or come off like a jerk to your future
    partners and niche market so I'm making the call that
    within 14 days of you finally putting this together
    you should have made thousands of dollars.

    Remember what I said and been drilling into
    your head so if you've learned nothing else
    from me, learn this...

    "Money Loves Speed"

    And...

    "Write small cheques...CASH Bigger Ones"

    If you don't IMPLEMENT and EXECUTE what
    I've just revealed to you, someone else will
    push you out and take what's yours.

    Here's the movie... Money Loves Speed

    To your continued online success

    Peter.

    P.S. The movie is very meaty so give it a couple
    of seconds to load

      Hey Everyone,

      Sorry for the slow update everyone but I have been super sick lately. I'm talking about I can't even get out of bed type of sick. I have been doing some work here and there, but just didn't have the energy to write a well thought out update.

      Before I begin with the update I want to give a very special thank you to Peter for everything he has done for me in this short time. He didn't have to help me out or even go the extra distance and speak to me on the phone, answer e-mails and etc.

      Peter took time out of his busy life to help me out and give me the tools needed to succeed in this field and within my niche. I can't thank him enough as I have been at this for a while now and was almost on the verge of giving up. I mean, almost a year and not one sale, nothing.

      The videos peter made have been amazing for me and the info he personal gave me on the phone is information I can always use and will never forget. So even though my time with Peter has ended in a way it has just began as he has giving me the skills and tools needed to make money at anytime I choose.

      Peter is now moving on to help other people, but has not abandoned me. He continues to help me out just on a smaller scale, but just to have someone watching my back as all of you do here is all i need. So with all this being said. Peter has done what he said he would do and beyond and now it's my turn to take the knowledge Peter has given me and take MASSIVE ACTION.

      So here is the newest updates with some of them NOT SO GOOD.

      Here are the updates starting with the bad first so we can get it out of the way.

      The Bad

      1. This is one of the worst things to happen to someone in the internet marketing field. I was working on my blog a few days ago making some changes Peter recommended when I noticed something really odd in the footer.

      It appeared to be tons of links/spam written into the code of the footer with hidden tags and no follow type of stuff. So in other words my blog was hacked and someone just screwed me over. Now, that isn't the problem as I was able to go into the code and get rid of it. The problem is that a few days later I started to notice my blog was vanishing from googles rating.

      I was page 1 of google for the term of hypnosis blog and many other keywords and now my blog isn' there. My blog still shows up on other people sites and blog and social book marking sites but as far as my domain whatsonmybrain.com it isn;t showing up. Now if i type my domain into google in does show my site, its just as if i was penalitized for the hacker.

      I have notified google through the webmaster tool area but who knows. I may have to create another domain name, but what would happen if someone did this to me again. I'm really pissed right now as I have been putting in tons of work to make the changes, but even before that I was spending 3 to 4 hours a day working on my blog. So any advice would be helpful in this matter.

      THE GOOD

      1. So beside that awful setback I'm still moving forward with the plans. I can't let google stop me or hold me back. I have made a lot of progress since the last video. So first up is I got rid of my pages on the navigation bar and have started to restructure the way peter has recommended.

      2. I have started to work on typing up the articles to go under the navigation header and have been rewatching peter videos to make sure I have a good grasp on the concepts.

      3. I figured out on my own how to covert the featured article box into a text area until I can afford the help of my tech guy. I have used it as a update area to welcome my readers and let them know of stuff going on.

      4. I removed the little box that contained popular post, achieves, comments and etc.

      5. I have signed up to aweber as I mentioned before I believe and created a opt in form. I have moved it all the way to the top of the header area so its above the fold.

      6. I took some time and created a free 45 min audio report to give to my readers in exchange for opting in. Since I have done this my list has went to above 5 or 6 to about 55 already. WOW!!!! I also have 15 pre-written e-mails ready to go. Could anyone recommend a good source for writing good e-mail messages

      7. Thanks to that amazing third video from Peter about doing the JV thing it answered the majority of questions I had. Other questions will be answered by peter in our final phone call.

      8. I have got three people lined up for the tele-seminar and now I'm just waiting for them to send the bonuses as none of them had any and they are all creating them exclusive for my tele seminar. The other one got sick from food posion, but he doesn't want to be replaced and wants to continue. He says this is too good of a chance to miss.

      9. two of the partners have said they don't care about the profit form the product. They just want the exposure and the possible list building. The other one only wants 25 percent so its looking good. We are still shooting for this saturday, but this depends on how the one with food posion feels. Either way we will be moving forward. I have waitied a year or more so I can wait a few extra days if needed to make sure all the speakers are taken care of.

      10. I am working on the squeeze page now and will try my luck on it.

      11. Trying to figure out how to offer a live seminar for sale right after the show. I don't know how I would sell it as I would have to record it and than transcribe it into mp3 or something. Also don't know how to send it to everyone when they order. Do I have to e-mail it to everyone who buys. So still a few questions.

      So this is where i'm at now. Just working on getting everything ready. My next post won't be until the event happens or maybe before the event. Well I got to run as I'm not feeling well again and I guess I need some sleep. Once again thanks to everyone here for their help and even more thanks to Peter for everything.

    You've just created a fantastic teleseminar where you
    got the crowd involved and interactive with a panel of
    experts that have just answered their "biggest burning question"
    in regards to X.

    The content was fantastic, the speakers were phenomenal
    the crowd loved it and they want more.

    Again in the video 3 I went over this, now you transition to
    selling the crowd the live event which they will want to buy
    because it was exceptional, content rich, and they want
    to listen it again.

    So you include not only the teleseminar live event itself
    but other highly complimentary bonuses that your
    JV partners can either come up with really quick like...

    * doing a podcast including more advanced hypnosis
    training (takes them all of 4 hours or less to put something together)

    *30 minute free consultation (they can backend from there again)

    *Give away one of their products that is a slow seller for
    more goodwill

    etc etc etc

    in the last 15 minutes of the teleseminar you tell the
    crowd about your offer and send them the link.
    (spell it out for them so they get the right link)

    You've created a mini sales letter on a page of your site
    where you tell people the details of your offer, and with
    that you have a simple paypal button on your page where
    it sends the prospect to your paypal order link in paypal.

    How do you do it?

    1.You simply log into paypal and click on the merchant services
    tab,

    2. then you scroll down to the "create buttons" category

    3.click on either "buy now" or "subscribe" button if you want
    reoccurring service most likey you'll want to just click on the
    "buy now" button

    4.create your paypal button by "reading the instructions"
    and redirect them to your protected page on your blog.

    Now you have your sales page set up and your download
    page set up.

    5. once your customer pays through paypal they will
    be redirected right back to your download page
    where you put your optin code from aweber again to
    capture buyers information and explain to them when
    they will get their download and what's included in the
    download.

    i.e. transcripts, mp3. or whatever format you want to
    convert it at.

    How do you get your product transcribed?
    go to google and type in...

    *teleseminar transcription services*

    There are thousands of companies out there
    that will do it for you.
    (basically you have to do a bit of digging as
    I can't do all the work for you for free)

    Sooner or later you have to take ACTION if you
    want success

    excuses are just that, excuses for not getting
    where you want to be. (tough love)

    Once you have your product converted into your
    desired format you simply put it in a secure area
    of your blog and send out an email to your list
    of buyers using the broadcast feature of aweber
    and provide the link for your buyers to download.

    After a couple of days of your buyers getting
    the product (usually 2 - 3 days) you send out an
    email to your buyers and ask them how they
    enjoyed the product and if they would like to
    include a testimonial they can.

    survey your buyers again within the next few
    days to see what other kind of information they
    would like to receive that would compliment their
    first product.

    Based on your buyers feedback go create the
    product yourself, or outsource product creation
    or be an affiliate and find a matching product
    and offer it to your crowd.

    wash rinse repeat and go make more money
    with the entire blueprint.

    In part Joshua, and everyone else reading this
    and watching the videos.

    It makes no sense to sit around and wait for things
    to happen, if you want success you got to grab
    it like it was a wild horse and ride it out.

    *If your JV partner is sick then go out and get another
    one that is ready to step in.

    (I did tell you to get as many as you can so if this
    problem came up you were prepared and not relying
    on them to see if they will be there at the last minute)

    *Someone hacked your site, unfortunate yes, the end
    of the world no. I've had many sites hacked and it
    drives me up the wall no doubt, but what do I do?
    well for the other niche markets I'm in I go with a
    service that will protect my site

    *Your blog dropped off in keyword stature,
    no problems, you get links from other high ranking
    sites in your niche, you use your keywords that you
    want to get ranked for as the anchor text you ask
    the other websites, and blogs to link to you for.

    *You pop into high ranking forums in your niche
    and repeat the process

    *You drop articles in your niche with the top
    article directories

    *You send out press releases about your site

    * You bookmark you site

    etc etc etc

    In short the death of success is making excuses
    and waiting on other people.

    I could be drop down dead tomorrow (thank the universe I wont)
    then were would you be?

    You have so many "hidden assets" that your not leveraging
    or don't see that I think your like a "deer" caught in the headlights

    Stop, take a big deep breath, and focus at the task on hand
    and thats making money.

    Your JV partners should have already been driving tons
    of traffic to your squeeze page and you should be already
    cultivating this list and getting them to take a survey so you
    know exactly what they want to talk about so your teleseminar
    is based around that.

    Give the crowd what it wants, not what you and your partners
    think you should talk about.

    Thats one of the biggest reasons why teleseminars fail for
    most internet marketers.

    They let their ego get in the way and think "yea the crowd wants this"
    and when they host the teleseminar they wonder why it tanked and
    crashed.

    When all they had to do was simply...

    ..."Ask the list"

    Don't be a victim

    I could have approached this in a loving manner but I'm not
    like that, I'm sick of all the waffling and "sugar coating"
    most internet marketers use to make the sky seem all pretty
    and tell you what you want to hear.

    Joshua and everyone else that's reading this,
    I'm telling you to get success its tough, its not for the weak
    or timid or excuse makers.

    You want to build a 5 or six figure internet business?

    Then you gotta attack it and want it.

    To your continued online success

    Peter

    I'm sure I'll take some heat on this one ;-)

      Hey Peter,

      Great advice as always. I already knew most of the stuff you wrote. My only question was how to sell the product when its not even converted yet, but you answered that part. I would have thought people would want their download instantly. This is good to know they are willing to wait a couple of days and thanks for the advice on the hack.

      Update: Google has contacted this morning and has agreed to reinstate me. They looked at my site and made a decision to not peneality me. They said they detected the nasty stuff and decided to just drop me, but not bann me. So I will be reinstated, but not at the same place. I will have to work a little to bring it back up, but they say if I keep updating I should be somewhere near my old spots hopefully. So good news for me.

    For everyone reading this next post I'LL explain this as simply as I can.

    If you are converting this product into a digital downloadable product you want to give it to your customers asap. So you get on the phone today and contact the transcribed services and explain to them your situation.

    You tell them that you need the product transcribed fast as your customers are waiting for it and you either pay them upfront or you pay them when you get the money in your paypal account or you work out a deal and not screw the transcribed company.

    9 times out of 10 most companies will work with you, even if you leave them a deposit upfront.

    If you are sending your customers a physically shipped product then yes they will wait days to get it. but for a digital downloadable product they might not wait 2 - 3 days to get it.

    Would you?

    Its called "instant gratification" or as close as you can get it. Don't make them wait days to get their digital product.

    I would think this would be intuitive in nature, but again I shouldn't assume anything so I guess I have to spell this out.

    In regards to your download page, if this is the case then you offer your customers an unadvertised bonus that they can immediately download and consume while they wait 24hrs for the main product.

    A nice meaty special report on x, or one of your JV partners tosses in a product that hasn't been selling and they include a bonus with it as well for instant download,

    or if they (JV partners) don't have one, then you put something together from all the exclusive content you have on your site and what your partners send you and put together a 45 minute podcast for instant download to tide your customers over, until they get their main product.

    Stop... Breathe... And Think.

    Take an hour out of your day to pic up the microphone by your computer and record the unadvertised bonus if no one will give you anything and that is now your "product" created out of thin air to give your hungry customers on the download page.

    Stop... Breathe... And Think

    Offer your customers a bonus 30 minute consultation on your download page that everyone will get in a week or two via live webinar or another teleseminar (and you backend them again)

    Take care of your customers and don't make them wait days for something they paid for especially if its of a digital nature.

    Stop... Breathe... And Think

    To your continued online success

    Peter
