How to Make Your Ship Come In — Soon!

When will your ship come in?

I’m sure you’ve wondered that. And what can you do to make it happen faster, simpler and easier?

There are a LOT of different methods you can use online to bring in the bux.

But there is ONE method EVERYONE agrees on and uses:

That is they want YOU to buy their PRODUCT. So regardless of what moneymaking method they SAY you should do, what they DO is to sell products.

Now, that isn’t to criticize the other forms of making bux online. I think a lot of them are good and clever. But it IS to say this: There is only ONE that virtually everyone uses — and that is selling products.

And to be more specific, if you haven’t noticed lately, the price point on MOST of these products isn’t cheap. They are big tickets. Why? It’s hard to feed the kids and make a Mercedes payment on $30 ebooks.

When will YOUR ship come in? How can you MAKE it come in?

From day ONE I’ve been teaching and telling people that the best, consistent bux are in creating and selling your very own info products. And in today’s market,
specifically “big ticket info products” or what I call BTIP’s.

Reason 1: While Google slaps change the world on occasion, selling info products won’t get cancelled out by the latest twist.

Reason 2: You can get OTHERS to sell your products for you. That’s where the REAL bux are.

Reason 3: All “gurus” have only 1 thing in common — they have a product to sell and it isn’t cheap. And you WONDERED what paid for those fancy cars, right?

Reason 4: With today’s technology, it’s faster, simpler and easier than ever before to create your own info products.

Reason 5: People have been making bux selling info products for the past 100 years.

It isn’t gonna change any time soon.

Reason 6: You do NOT have to lease a warehouse to ship the products. You can create them on demand.

Reason 7: You do NOT have to worry about losing your reputation due to dropshippers that flake out on you.

Reason 8: The markup is much higher than on physical products, although there is certainly nothing wrong with selling physical products.

Reason 9: Product sales creates reliable income. You won’t have to scramble and take a part time job ’cause Google slapped you again.

When will YOUR ship come in?

The day you discover how to create, package, deliver and market your very own info products.

You remember this ONE thing: From day freakin’ one, Marlon Sanders told you that the bux were in having and selling your OWN products.

Through thick and thin over the past 8 years, I’ve been teaching and preaching creating and selling your own products.

No matter what the “hot” fad or trend, for 8 years, I’ve been preaching the same message.

Again, this is NOT to say you shouldn’t do other methods. It IS saying that the most EVER-RED method you can use is to create and sell your own products.

Oh, ever-red is like EVERGREEN, but red beats green every freakin’ day of the week. So I’m callin’ it Ever-Red.

Not many people in this market have the guts to say this. Because it goes against the grain. It goes against common opinion.

Over the years, for those of you who have been around, I’ve never hesitated to call it like I see it. You may agree. You may not agree.

But one thing I haven’t done is jumped on the latest bandwagon every month just because there was quick bank from promoting it.

I’ve had ONE message, ONE theme, ONE concept the past 8 years.

And that is to have and sell your OWN products via an affiliate program (for traffic). Articles, adwords, all the other traffic methods are great.

But STILL, the bux are in your own products. The best traffic is from an affiliate program.

See, for 8 years now, I’ve been teaching that there is a food chain. And you’re either on top or on bottom. And having your own proprietary products that you sell is the
way you get on top of the game.

If you wanna win the game, I recommend you get your own product to sell and set up your own affiliate program.

Well if I look at what we offer in Expert List Building - superb clear step by step instructions with Action Plans, interviews and bonuses too - both audio and video, I can feel very proud of what we achieved with  the hard work put in by me and Kathy .

But we don’t offer List Building software and Chris does. Over the last few days over 500 people have taken advantage of his Automatic List Building.

There’s more info and a video on Automatic List Building too.

Building a list is the single most important thing you can do for a business. You need to learn how to do that so start off with the video and take it from there.

A website that built a list for you would seem to be the perfect website. After all the biggest challenge for most website owners, I avoid the word webmaster usually, is getting enough visitors, otherwise known as traffic.

To build your list a system has to be in place that encourages each visitor to contact their friends or subscribers and rewards them for doing so.

Launch formula Marketing or LFM does this and so does MyViralSpiral. I have not used both scripts so I can’t give a comparative review.

Expert List Building is an LFM site. So also is “NewbieOnTheNet”

After we launch expertlistbuilding we will look very closely and probably give Myviralspiral a go, perhaps by relaunching “NewbieOnTheNet” as an MVS site.

THEN I’ll do a comparative review for you!

Alex

Viral what? Well that surprised me too. I love WordPress but did not know about what Miles Baker calls Viral Traffic Plugins. Well read about it at Miles’s Blog. Let me know if you have tried this stuff and how it worked.

Viral listbuilding software seems to be all the rage right now. In fact, we are thinking of using Tim Brocklehurst’s MVS, Chris Freville - one of our experts-is launching his own viral software package called Automated List Builder” which has some common features with Matt Haslems’s viral list building software Opt-in Accelerator.

And now David Cheyne reveals his own list building software. I have not yet signed up for it - there is a free and a Pro version.

There is no commentary to the video - which I find very odd. Why anyone would miss out on the chance to explain and sell their product and play music at you puzzles me.

Let me know if you sign up and what your results are…

Atomic Blogging appealed to me as soon as I heard the name. Being a Physicist helps no doubt and I never did get round to ask Alvin just why he called his Blogging product, “Atomic Blogging“.

Product?

Yeah, because “Atomic Blogging” is more than an ebook. The most valuable part of what Alvin provides, in my opinion, is the Atomic Blogging theme. Beginners usually think that a theme is just a colour scheme or arrangement of elements on the page. But a theme is way more than that - especially in WordPress.

Simply put the theme is the structure of your blogging machine. it determines what is possible and where on the page it goes. I feel the urge to get complicated here and I will resist it.

The Atomic Blogging theme has a subscription box right up at the top of the blog which is crucial for gaining subscribers, Many bloggers simply do not understand how important this is and you may be among them.

Honestly - your list of subscribers is your business; not your website and not even your blog. You have these bits of web machinery or virtual real estate or whatever just to gain some subscribers-your list. And a list is more important than people reading your RSS feed.
“The money is in the list” and not in “the feed”!

Alvin could charge $147 just for the theme and I would push you out of the way to buy it at that price!

His ebook is good too!

I was surprised how simple it was and how how well written. It is very suitable for beginners

As well as all that you get a huge pile of goodies - PLR articles which you could use as posts, special zip files of plugins and more! Check it out for yourself

Because otherwise you may lose months or years of content! Could be server trouble or maybe just the hundrum task of shifting from one host to another.

You don’t plan to change hosts but sometimes the webhost you are with gives you poor service and you may decide to move.

No problem if you have an up to date backup; no problem if you handle the transfer smoothly…

But I did not handle the transfer, ahem , smoothly and so there is a gap in my posts in this blog.

So, please do a backup weekly!

David Cheyne is a clever guy but I don’t quite know what to make of http://www.listbuildersdream.com/lb/index.php It seems to promise that ANY website can be “converted” into a viral website. I have only watched the video once but I was very impressed.

But you have to admire the virus. He has a way of living in secrecy until he is so numerous that he wins by sheer weight of numbers. He piggybacks on other hosts and uses their resources to increase his tribe. And in the right environment, he grows exponentially. A virus don’t even have to mate — he just replicates, again and again with geometrically increasing power, doubling with each iteration:

1
11
1111
11111111
1111111111111111
11111111111111111111111111111111
1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

In a few short generations, a virus population can explode.

Viral Marketing Defined

What does a virus have to do with marketing? Viral marketing describes any strategy that encourages individuals to pass on a marketing message to others, creating the potential for exponential growth in the message’s exposure and influence. Like viruses, such strategies take advantage of rapid multiplication to explode the message to thousands, to millions.

Off the Internet, viral marketing has been referred to as “word-of-mouth,” “creating a buzz,” “leveraging the media,” “network marketing.” But on the Internet, for better or worse, it’s called “viral marketing.” While others smarter than I have attempted to rename it, to somehow domesticate and tame it, I won’t try. The term “viral marketing” has stuck.

The Classic Hotmail.com Example

The classic example of viral marketing is Hotmail.com, one of the first free Web-based e-mail services. The strategy is simple:

1. Give away free e-mail addresses and services,
2. Attach a simple tag at the bottom of every free message sent out: “Get your private, free email at http://www.hotmail.com” and,
3. Then stand back while people e-mail to their own network of friends and associates,
4. Who see the message,
5. Sign up for their own free e-mail service, and then
6. Propel the message still wider to their own ever-increasing circles of friends and associates.

Like tiny waves spreading ever farther from a single pebble dropped into a pond, a carefully designed viral marketing strategy ripples outward extremely rapidly. Continue Reading »
