I need a mentor. $50 up front, more later.

Essence · 03-11-2009, 12:51 AM

I know there's a thousand WSOs offering a mentorship, but I have "special needs". I'm asking for the nearly-impossible, here, but I'm willing to pay for someone who can really help me.

That said, I'm broke. I have about $80 in my PayPal account from a WSO that I ran a few days ago, and that's it.

I don't have an incredible amount of time on my hands. I have a 6-month-old child and a disabled wife, and between taking care of the two of them, I can only spend about 15-25 hours each week working on paying the bills.

Here's the good side: I only need $1000/month to live on. That's only $34/day. My wife is such an amazing shopper that we can literally live on that 1k/month (and $650 of that is rent!).

I have a review page that hasn't made a sale in two weeks, and a nutrition-niche info product that gets no traffic. I've sold 1 copy out of 87 visitors over 6 months. The product is solid, but impossible to market because the benefits are literally unbelievable - as in, no one is even slightly aware of just how much the right diet can prevent or cure, and it's impossible to write a sales page that can capture even a significant portion of what my product can help a person overcome.

...

SO, here's my offer: If there's a professional here who can help me make $34 dollars a day within 30 days, understanding that I'm only going to have $30 or so to get started -- I'll pay you $50 up front, and then you get absolutely everything that I make above and beyond my $1000/month needs for the first six months. I will provide such a coach access to my Analytics page and any other tools that are necessary to validate my income, short of my PayPal password of course.

I will commit to such a coach that I can and will spend at least 20 hours/week doing whatever you tell me I need to be doing. I can write, I can record .mp3s and video, I have primitive HTML and CSS skills, and I want so badly to be able to support my newborn and my wife without having to leave them alone for 8-12 hours/day that I will sell one of my nuts if I have to. Don't make me do that.

This is an opportunity for the ultimate in outsourcing -- if you can take me to $1k/month, inside of a month, everything past that is yours for the next 6 months. I am perfectly serious.

(Because I realized that it's confusing, I'm not asking anyone to get me $1000 by April 10th. I can pay for April. It's May that I'm shooting to pay for, here. I need to START making $34 a day consistently by April 10th.)

I'd prefer someone with a reputation: someone with at least a few hundred posts and a proven ability to make money and coach others into the same position. If you have the expertise, and you're interested in some more-or-less passive income and, if you're clever, some outsourcing that pays you to do it, please PM me with your deal.

Thank you.

Derek Pankaew · 03-11-2009, 01:13 AM

You have a deal.

PM me your phone number and the best time to reach you. I'll give you a call tomorrow.

EDIT: My background -

Got started working for Pickup101.com, one of the biggest "men's seduction" companies. Learned AdWords and copywriting from the man who ran the company.

Since then I've worked with offline clients, online clients and managed my own projects. I've made over $40,000 in personal income and I've been responsible for at least $100,000 + in added profits for companies I worked with.

I've been making an average of $3,000 - $4,000 a month over the last few months, about $1,500 of that being passive.

Michael Oksa · 03-11-2009, 01:35 AM

Hi Essence,

Keep your $50 for now, your family needs it.

If you qualify you won't have to pay me anything, and we can work out any other details. But, the first requirement I have is that we raise that $1000 to at least $1500 that you can keep for yourself - sounds like a little extra wouldn't hurt.

Here to help, let's see what we can do.

All the best,
Michael Oksa

Essence · 03-14-2009, 02:10 PM

I can tell you that I have accepted an offer, and that in the last two days, we have decided that a product I have already written is going to start paying my bills, and we're working on a complete revamp of the image and style of the associated sites.

The most important thing I've learned the past 48 hours is that the thing that made me write the report -- my burning desire to actually see people benefit from this knowledge -- is the most critical tool I have in my marketing arsenal.

Mac the Knife · 03-14-2009, 02:22 PM

Essence,

I would love if you shared who you are working with and detail the results..at least let us know general progress...I smell a killer WSO if you and your partner pull this off!

Mac

Essence · 04-19-2009, 04:31 PM

Well, Macurdy, thus far Mr. Michael Oksa has helped me turn my old sales page (above) into this, and we're working on driving traffic. It's only been up about 72 hours, and no sales yet, but I've got some affiliates sending me traffic, and I'm doing some traffic-building of my own, so I expect good things.

GarrieWilson · 04-19-2009, 05:19 PM

I hope I can make this suggestion w/out sounding like a total ass...

You need a photo that makes you look thiner and healthier.

When I think nutrition, I think healthy, thin & fit but when I see your photo, I instantly think over-weight and high blood pressure.

You could use the boxing glove photo and a tagline like:

"Knock your doctor out"

I don't like the text font.

Images aren't loading properly.

no call to action at the top.

no subscription box at the top to download a free report - with a backsell via the auto responder.

this headline
"
My doctor looked me dead in the eye and told me
I was LYING to her!

She had no clue how I got so healthy, so permanently, so fast.."

doesn't describe your product off the bat, it's too bland.

You could have something like "aren't you sick and tired of nutrition doctors giving you the wrong advice, or giving you something that doesn't work... That all stops now..."

You've got an affiliate link at the top of that page, turn it into a redirect, set up a php page and place the affiliate code in a redirect php code.

the ad copy is good, but just where that blue box is, I would place a testimonial above it.

the blue box needs to stand out more, it's too bland.

the bullet points you have below the blue box, needs to be checkmarks.

those images you have there of testimonials, i have a problem in believing they are real.

Yeah, I think he needs to remove them altogether because he has only sold 1 copy - as stated in the OP.

The FDA and FTC could come down on you hard for them.

IF they, in fact, are real then put the persons full name and city/state.

edman · 04-19-2009, 06:00 PM

Hi there Essence,

I wish you the best of luck...

If I may speak for many Warriors, whom I've personally connected with and found to be real eager to help

Apart from the help you're getting now, you can also post your products for review so that you get a variety of comments and views from a real diverse audience. You may even setup a private blog just for that.

Also if you need some tools to make life easier, you may also ask warrior members, I'm sure they'd be glad to help.

For starters, if you're going to build traffic with articles, and need a good package to help you, I can give you for free, my AMI Article Writer software as well as the Article Writing & Marketing guide to make it easy for you to succeed here.

Just PM me and I'll send you the private access. The package is $39, and I'm also running a WSO for it, (you can learn more about it), but I'll be more than glad to give you for free, if or when you need it.

Wish you the best once again

My 2c worth. I find long sales letters unreadable. I want to know in the first few sentences what the product does. You achieve that - and I am personally interested. I scrolled down but I can't see the price of the product. I would suggest you add that.

Have to agree there.. I really have no preference for long or short sales letters (they both have their place, and if a long sales letter is done right it's easy to "skim" and get most of the info you need), but I always prefer a sales page that gives me a price somewhere near the order button at the bottom of the page. If I have to click the buy button just to find out what the price is, I usually just click the back button instead.

askloz · 04-20-2009, 04:24 AM

Hi ya

I use Georgia text font, found ppl find it easier to read and more conversions...

alvinhuang,

I'm working on the affiliate tools page at this very moment, it should be roughly up-and-functional by tomorrow (banners not until Sunday).

rosetrees and stevenh,

I've been led to understand that putting the price on the sales page is not always a good idea. I'll ask around, though. The price, for the record, is currently $37 (with a 75% commission through Clickbank).

D.K. Magnus · 04-20-2009, 02:37 PM

Essence,

Good to see all the warriors rallying to help.

Makes me feel good to be a member here.

The only thing I can offer, is to encourage you to take Edman up on his offer. His software is a great help for writing articles. I was using it, just before I came here this afternoon and I will be back to using it in a few minutes. And I'm not an affiliate.

Best of luck.

That may be true, but I've never tested it so I can only speak from personal experience as a customer here. You have to do a really good job of convincing me that I want or need your product to get me to click a buy button without seeing a price on the page. If you have amazing copy and you've done a good job of capturing my attention and making me want to buy your product I might click the buy button anyway to see what the price is, but 99% of the time if I don't see a price on the sales page I don't bother with it.

I wish your family the best.

Thank you, Sam. I'll keep your offer in mind.

alvinhuang, the affiliate tools page is half-up -- articles and blastouts are written, banners will be available on Sunday. Reviews and PPC keywords next week at the latest. It's all available from the Affiliates link at the bottom of the main page, or directly at Fire Your Doctor! Affiliate Page!

Let me know if there's anything more I can do to help you; I'm new to this so I'm basically just imitating what I've seen.

Hi... Good luck with everything seems like you are getting some great help here... I couldn't help noticing this in your first post...

"My wife is such an amazing shopper that we can literally live on that 1k/month (and $650 of that is rent!)"

That sounds like a very good product to me! maybe even a membership site?

Essence · 04-21-2009, 12:36 PM

Hahaha, we've talked that idea over several times, Chris. I think it's a good one, but I'm not really sure how to translate it into an online format. We've done personal shopping for friends and neighbors, saving them 40-70% on their food bills, but getting that into a web-friendly process...well, it's eluded us so far.

Oh yeah, sorry I got confused with the American data-style (we put the day first and then the month).

Essence · 04-23-2009, 09:48 PM

Quite the opposite, actually -- I thought I was doing just fine with my business, until I went from $250/week from my review site to $0/month pretty much overnight. I still don't know what happened (such is the life of a n00b, right?) I do know that it coincided with the "your unemployment checks have almost run out" message, however -- so I took the steps I needed to to keep my family under a roof.

My WSOs are still good for exactly what they claim to do -- get someone who is broke and trying to get started a quick influx of cash in order to finance a larger operation. Unfortunately, they're pretty much one-shots, and I've already used them.

Oh, and Steven -- you're totally on! Just tell me when!

Edit: No problem, Essence

Suggestions:

13 point Arial or Verdana might be a better choice for body text. Courier is best reading the printed word.

At least 16 point subheads in Verdana, Arial or Times. The latter would match your Headline.

Nice work, Mike. Hope I'm not stepping on any toes here. Kinda scrambled to get this done fast and didn't read the entire thread.

Please DO NOT REPLY if you aren't offering. I can tell you that I have accepted an offer, and that in the last two days, we have decided that a product I have already written is going to start paying my bills, and we're working on a complete revamp of the image and style of the associated sites. The most important thing I've learned the past 48 hours is that the thing that made me write the report -- my burning desire to actually see people benefit from this knowledge -- is the most critical tool I have in my marketing arsenal.

It's only been up about 72 hours, and no sales yet, but I've got some affiliates sending me traffic, and I'm doing some traffic-building of my own, so I expect good things. Essence

When I think nutrition, I think healthy, thin & fit but when I see your photo, I instantly think over-weight and high blood pressure. You could use the boxing glove photo and a tagline like: "Knock your doctor out" Garrie

Please DO NOT REPLY if you aren't offering. Hi there Essence, I wish you the best of luck... If I may speak for many Warriors, whom I've personally connected with and found to be real eager to help Apart from the help you're getting now, you can also post your products for review so that you get a variety of comments and views from a real diverse audience. You may even setup a private blog just for that. Also if you need some tools to make life easier, you may also ask warrior members, I'm sure they'd be glad to help. For starters, if you're going to build traffic with articles, and need a good package to help you, I can give you for free, my AMI Article Writer software as well as the Article Writing & Marketing guide to make it easy for you to succeed here. Just PM me and I'll send you the private access. The package is $39, and I'm also running a WSO for it, (you can learn more about it), but I'll be more than glad to give you for free, if or when you need it. Wish you the best once again Edward

You achieve that - and I am personally interested. I scrolled down but I can't see the price of the product. I would suggest you add that.

I'll ask around, though. The price, for the record, is currently $37 (with a 75% commission through Clickbank).

We've done personal shopping for friends and neighbors, saving them 40-70% on their food bills, but getting that into a web-friendly process...well, it's eluded us so far.

Please DO NOT REPLY if you aren't offering. Quite the opposite, actually -- I thought I was doing just fine with my business, until I went from $250/week from my review site to $0/month pretty much overnight. I still don't know what happened (such is the life of a n00b, right?) I do know that it coincided with the "your unemployment checks have almost run out" message, however -- so I took the steps I needed to to keep my family under a roof. My WSOs are still good for exactly what they claim to do -- get someone who is broke and trying to get started a quick influx of cash in order to finance a larger operation. Unfortunately, they're pretty much one-shots, and I've already used them. Oh, and Steven -- you're totally on! Just tell me when! Essence

At least 16 point subheads in Verdana, Arial or Times. The latter would match your Headline. Nice work, Mike. Hope I'm not stepping on any toes here.
