I noticed that Nancy Andrews did a short launch of her Live Blueprints system recently for some early bird registrations. I find this cool way of testing the salesletter in a live situation very interesting.

While she did get some sales for her system, the most important advantage in my opinion is the insight she got into the effectiveness of the salesletter in converting the prospect to customer, the places where the prospects are aborting (the sales letter, the order form etc). This is the exact strategy that direct marketers use and you should definitely try to pmplement this in your marketing campaigns and launches. They send a test mail to a small section of the list and measure the response rate. If the results are acceptable, then only they send the offer to the whole list.

Live Blueprints is going to be finally launched at 12 noon on Wednesday April 23rd 2008 - that’s today - in a few hours from now. Even if you are not planning to learn the powerful SEO strategies she is revealing, you should definitely sign-up and study her sales letter - that will be good education. The Live Blueprints salesletter is here.

Joel Comm, the renowned author of Adsense Secrets ebook, has released the version 4.0 of his ebook recently at a super low price ($9.95), which got me puzzled because the earlier versions were priced at $97 (as far as I remember).

When I went to the order form, I realised that I am not only getting the Adsense secrets but a Top 1% report also, which is (surprise, surprise) a monthly subscription of $29.95 per month. This seems to be pretty sneaky as the price is hidden in the top paragraph where people generally repeat what all the cuystomer is going to get (and hardly anyone reads). Most of the buyers will only review the order form, feel glad that they are getting the ebook for a low $9.95 and go ahead with the order.

I really understand and appreciate that one time sale of the ebook is not a great idea and it will really help Joel to get sign-ups to the membership product also, but this should have been made amply clear that the customer is ordering a monthly subscription. If you see the below excerpt from the order form, this is quite mis-leading.

Please remember that the ebook is a very good read and excellent value for money at this price. However you must remember to opt-out of the subcription if you do not intend to continue getting the Top 1% report at $29.95 per month.

I recently came across Robert Plank’s web site and noticed that he is doing some cool stuff with his web site, using PHP and Javascript. The one that I liked the most is his use of JV Plus, which allows you to easily have an affiliate program promoting your blog and still be able to allow your affiliates to make money with your products.

I recommend you to visit Robert’s web site and enjoy the insightful posts about various aspects of Internet marketing and PHP/Javascript programming. He has a large number of utilities listed in the right sidebar which may help you run your website, blogs and business with much more converting power than you may be having now.

So, you have built your web site and have no clue how to get loads of traffic. You know that you need to do some kind of search engine optimization but that is like Greek to you. You turn to the Internet and get baffled with the huge amount of tips, advice and black magic ideas. Who can you depend on? You feel dizzy…

If this is how you are feeling, try Live Blueprints. This is a bunch of SEO guides that are offered by Nancy Andrews, a smart lady who knows her stuff. She recently spoke on the Underground Seminar where Yanik Silver introduces people who have been quietly making tons of money marketing on the Internet though they do not have crazy popularity. She has got several top 10 ranking for new websites. She has sold more than 500 copies of her SEO guide and then stopped selling that.

She is relaunching her tutorials now and you might like to get on the announcement list quickly so that you can enjoy all the pre-launch training that she is providing free of cost. And you have no risk. Not even an obligation to order. Get on the Live Blueprints announcement list here.

Do it - really!

Do you really need the Product Launch Formula? Why can’t you just build the product and create a web site and wait for the visitors to come and buy?

You don’t if you are easily satisfied with a few sales here and there and do not look forward to a large number of red hot prospects drooling to buy your products, which have not even hit the market yet.

If you want to build a long list of potential buyers, who will probably bring your server down the moment your product launches and may be make your credit card processing company think that you are doing something bad because sales just keep pouring in, you need to have a systematic launch process. All the pre-launch anticipation building, drip feeding of information, teaser videos and JV partner blogs that you see employed by leading Internet marketers are not by chance. That’s by design. They are employing a simple but scientific process to generate massive sales right from the moment their product launches.

Armand Morin, a reputed Internet marketer has launched Hostorix - the fail safe hosting at the Big Seminar. He has taken a saturated market like web hosting, added a nice twist of a fail-safe raid server for reliability (that’s so important for the Internet marketing business) and launched it under the twisted name - Hostorix.

Hostorix claims that a redundant server takes over and keeps your web site running and online when the main server has failed for whatever reason. This is technically called a Raid server and distributes the web site content across multiple servers to increase the availability of the system. Some key features that I find very important:

• Cpanel based configuration management - very easy even for newbies.
• Fantastico lets you easily install and configure about 50 software.
• Interactive site builder software - sack your web designer.
• Unlimited email accounts.
• Quality log management with Awstats and Urchin - peek into your users’ behavior.
• Daily site backups so you can relax.

You must check out the full Hostorix offer and sign-up to this rewarding deal. What’s more, you can even refer other friends and/or clients to make a nice residual income per month.

He does not hold those million-dollar launch records. However he does run a very successful and thriving Internet marketing business working (very little) from his home and spending most of his time with his lovely wife and son Adam. So how does he manage that passive cashflow that we are talking about?

You see, Neil has built a process for doing product launches and affiliate marketing. This involves affiliate marketing and joint ventures in a big way - capitalizing on a great relationship that he builds with most of the people he comes in contact with. He also keeps records that lets him see which ideas are working well and which ones need improvement or should be dumped. Would you be interested to peek into his process and results so that you can make your own marketing easier and generate better results doing lesser work?

Neil’s virtual seminar is excellent for beginners, and anyone new to internet marketing. If you want passive income and to saunter down the path, with as little effort as possible, Neil Shearing’s Passive Cashflow will show you the way.

Want to take advantage of this fast growing market? The first challenge you will face is being able to prepare quality courses and study material in an easy way.

Tim Kerber and Ryan Lee successfully launched their membership sites bootcamp coaching and have been selling the course at a brisk pace. They are reporting much higher response after introducing a 4-instalment payment plan. If you have not done so already, you must have a look at the sales page here.

The product launch expert, Jeff Walker has played a masterstroke again helping them organize the whole jigsaw puzzle so beautifully.

I noticed a few interesting things (not all new though) in the launch:

• Quite a few big names like Joel Comm, Mike Filsaime, Jeff Walker were promoting the offer. They introduced the coaching program tothe members of Mike’s JV Notify Pro also.
• The usual pre-sell videos were all there, getting the people in ready to buy anticipatory mood.
• There were some nice bonuses from the JV partners to complement the main package.
• There was no banner on the sales page and it started directly with the headline.
• The sales page was the typical long page salesletter with tons of testimonials and income proof, as well as video.
• I noticed that they had done a lovely and different favicon, so if somebody would mark them as favorite, the site will stand out. Small but powerful touch.
• There was the usual guarantee and the fast action bonuses.
• They added an instalment plan after a while so that those who cannot afford the whole amount in one go and can still take a shot at it.

A friend, Abhishek Rungta has launched Indus Net Academy, with the slogan - ‘New Age Training‘. He claims to train people on real subjects (PHP, MySQL, Web design and Internet marketing to start with) and with real content so that the passing out brigade gets serious employment soon.

Nothing against the conventional training but the successful trainees from those centres claim to know about 5-6 languages and 10s of subjects but have no real fluency in any. They will know this, this and that but if you ask them a question about one of those subjects, they will give a sheepish smile and tell you that they need to brush up because this was taught 12 months ago.

Hope Abhishek can keep up to the noble intentions and churn out some really employable people - we look forward to employing those soon.

Hi

Have you been thinking of doing blogs, press releases and Adwords but never did that because you did not know where to start? You know there are so many ways to get more traffic and business from the Internet but all you need is a little bit of push. Just a few tips to get you over the hump and then you are confident, you can run.

Here’s help! We have recently launched Fast Start Kits where we offer 2-4 page guides with tips to get you started - so that you can hit the ground running. These are not detailed step by step manuals - these are ways to get you cool results soon so that you can get over your hesitation and explore that tool more confidently.

Visit Fast Start Kits and download your favorite kits before you get distracted. Don’t forget to tell us what else you want covered. We will appreciate your comments whether you like or dislike the kits.

Mike Filsaime’s recent launch of The Death of Internet Marketing Report comes quick on the heels of The Death of Adsense. This is the next in the series of ‘The Death’ reports, which you might soon be seeing like The Death of SEO, The Death of Web Hosting, The Death of autoresponders and The Death of ebooks. I think the primary reason for this is the October 2006 phenomenon that Mike talks about in his report. There have been so many launches in the Internet marketing space recently that the newsletter subscribers have become jaded. You need to use shock and awe to draw the attention of the people - or else they will not download your report. If you want to build a list quickly, soon you may find that offering a quality report may not be enough. You will need to offer cash incentive (Mike is offering $1 to you if you directly refer someone and $1 on your 2nd tier). Scott Boulch (author of The Death of Adsense) offered $0.50. So let us how far we can go in this game of upmanship. By The Way, you may end up shelling out 1000s of dollars quickly if your report goes viral. And if you are offering a cash incentive to refer plus a quality report like Mike does, be assured that it will turn viral. So you must have a very strong back-end offer for the subscribers if you want to recoup your investment. I noticed that Mike is offering his Butterfly manuscript. He is also running a cool survey which will give very interesting stats about the big need of the hour. If you run such a survey and then create quality products to fulfill this need, you may soon have some cool winners at hand.

You might not know this but we have a press release submission service that helps you to spread the word on your newest product launch. A nicely written press release can be very effective in creating awareness about your product and should be a compulsory weapon in your web promotion arsenal.

In any case, the press releases published through quality sites like PRWEB, PRnewswire etc. get reproduced by several sites generating one-way incoming links to your site and resulting in improved search engine rankings.

Check out the economical and effective press release submission service here.

Well, Jason seems to be on target with his Membership Riches launch. I can see he has roped in some very strong affiliates like Mike Filsaime, Michael Cheney and Michael Nicholas.

He issued a press release announcing his affiliate program which will attract several affiliates because of the hefty commission and the top 10 affiliates contest. He missed out on the launch blog but I have filled that gap by setting up the Membership Riches blog

He has a cool $214,352.14 launch under his belt already. We will soon have the figures on this launch too.

BTW, don’t forget that Membership Riches is a one-time purchase with lifetime updates and you are not to pay any monthly fees.

This will get your prospects warmed up for the product - so when they head over to the merchant’s site, they can easily absorb the features and benefit statements that the merchant puts forth. And may be buy the product or subscribe to his newsletter.
