Tips, techniques and insights pertaining to Internet marketing by Willie Crawford
Focusing On One Thing... All The Way Through To Completion...
I shared in a recent inner circle thread that Ken McArthur,
while speaking at a recent seminar, commented that he once
asked Tom Beal (Mike Filsaime's VP of Operations) what he
thought Mike's success secret was.
Tom's answer was "taking massive action, all the way through
to completion."
Mike, and many others, also teach doing one thing at a time,
rather than starting a dozen different things. Mike explains
that if you have a dozen project started but none of them to
the point where they are making money, your income is ZERO.
If you have just one of those projects finished and making
sales, you are miles ahead!
Recently, I wrote an editorial that I sent to my
subscribers with the subject line "Will You Just Stop..."
In that editorial, I instructed them to stop jumping from
project to project and actually just pick one and work it all
the way through to completion.
I got positive feedback on the editorial in both Twitter and
via email.
To show you how few people actually do that, and how
much of a difference it can make... I signed up for a
free giveaway that Odinn Sorensen and Ken McArthur are
co-sponsoring recently.
I upgraded which entitled me to list up to 3 of my products,
up to 2 text links, and three banner ads in the members
area, and those will show throughout the site.
On a whim, I made one of my text links, and one of my
banner links for "20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online"
Within 2 hour of adding those items, I made THREE sales
of that $27 ebook. I didn't track the source of those
sales, but since I hadn't done anything else to promote
the ebook that day... by that time, I ASSUMED that those
sales were just from those listings.
Yes, I know, I could have used a tracking url.
The interesting thing is that since my text links show so
frequently throughout the site, as does my banners, I
can only assume that MOST of the other contributors are
still thinking about what text links or banner to add...
those who upgraded.
Rapidly following through put my banners, and text links,
in front on people earlier, and will get it seen by more
people.
If you haven't checked out that giveaway by the way, it's
at: http://impactactiongiveaway.com/contributor.php?id=12
That's the link to join as a contributor.
I DO want to encourage you to join this giveaway because,
JV Alert has many members with list of over 100,000 and
Ken has a very loyal following. So, this giveaway will be
HUGE, and can put you and your products in front of an
incredible herd.
Do it now, but follow the signup process all the way
through to completion... to include taking the "upgrade"
and tapping into some of the best advertising available.

Free Teleclasses On Building Niche VRE Authority-Portal Websites - Ends Noon Wednesday!
Sorry, this is really short notice but I just confirmed
all of the specifics.
About three weeks ago, I showed you a set of niche
websites that you could literally set up in about
20 minutes each, with each website already monetize
with your links for Google AdSense, Amazon.com, etc.
These are websites in 50 different niches that
research has already proven are profitable.
You can literally set up highly focused, authority
website in numerous niches and "avoid putting all of
your eggs in one basket."
Those websites are still available for another day at:
http://SageMarketer.com/NicheVRE/
**** Here's what's changed... for the better... ***
My good friend David Perdew looked at the sites and
realized that it was BETTER to monetize them with your
own choice of affiliate products and his Niche Widget.
David is NOT a big fan of AdSense, althought he does
show you how to incorporate it if you choose to :-)
So David started showing people how to really cutomize
the sites. After a few request came in from people
who'd seen some videos that David shared in the inner
circle, he announced that he was offering to give 2 weeks
of free coaching on setting up the NicheVRE sites and
customizing them with Niche Widgets, Adsense and
additional products, and creating an information portal.
Then, David agreed to let my clients onto his coaching
calls for free :-)
All that you need to do is signup here:
http://www.stepbysteptutor.com/eCoach.html
Xavier Nelson (who created Niche VRE) and Kelvin Brown
(another NicheVRE expert), are also sending some of their
coaching clients to David's training.
Here's the thing, the Deadline in NOON CST,
Wednesday, August 6th.
And to give you an idea of what David is planning, here's
the PowerPoint presentation outlining the entire training...
http://SageMarketer.com/NVRETutorials.ppt
Look at that PowerPoint presentation. You'll be blown away
by the breadth of this intensive coaching.
So, if you don't have your Niche VRE websites up yet
get the package now at: http://SageMarketer.com/NicheVRE/
Then let David step you through getting them online.
He'll be so thorough, that even a complete beginner
will be able to do it :-)

7 Steps To A Solid Monthly Internet Income
7 Steps To A Solid Monthly Internet Income
There are literally thousands of ways to make money
online. One of the most solid business models to ensure a
continual monthly income is a subscription based membership
website.
Members pay a monthly fee for access to a private member's
area where they can access your information. You can
provide a variety of information in as many formats as you
choose. You can offer articles, reports, audios, videos,
teleseminars, downloads, software, almost anything you can
imagine.
Even if you offer a low cost membership, it only takes a
few members to make a comfortable income. A membership
website that charges $9.97 a month, only needs 300 members
to generate $3,000 every month.
And setting up a membership website has become remarkably
simple with advances in software that can be set up in a
couple hours, even by the average non-technical person.
It's just that simple. In the beginning, it takes some
time and energy to put the whole project together, but then
it's simply a matter of updating, maintaining and marketing.
So let's look at the steps to put together a successful
membership website.
Step 1
Choose a market. This is critical. You should look for a
market you're going to enjoy working in as well as a
market people spend money in. People spend money where they
are passionate. Markets like sports, pets, business, and
hobbies all make hot markets to launch a membership website
Step 2
Test the market. Visit forums and chat rooms and ask
people if they know of any good websites that offer up-to-date
information.
Step 3
Use your research from Step 2 to develop a rough outline
of what your website will offer your members
Step 4
Write a sales letter and have the graphics professionally
designed. If you can't do this yourself, hire a freelancer
from elance.com or guru.com
Step 5
Set up the membership software to run the site.
Step 6
Populate the site with your content
Step 7
Market your site and let the cash flow begin.
7 simple steps and you've got a membership website that
will generate a solid monthly cash flow for you. Each step
takes some effort and energy, but you can have your first
membership website completely set up and running in less
than a month. Then you can repeat the process as many
times as you like to increase your membership portfolio and
your monthly income.
UPDATE
For 7 days, you can bypass the whole membership website
creation process. Get your complete membership website,
ready to upload to your server today. You can have a fully
functional membership website ready to take orders in the
next 2 hours. It's only available for 7 days, so make sure
you visit today.

Don't procrastinate on this one :-)

It Never Ceases To Amaze Me...
how many of us will look at a seemingly difficult
chore, and put it off for days... even weeks.
Then, when we finally get around to doing it,
we discover that it really wasn't anywhere near as
difficult as we imagined that it would be.
We smile, look at the next seemingly difficult
task, and then postpone getting started on it.
What are you procrastinating doing today?

#1 At Google For A Month!
When I shared my "secret" technique for getting
a #1 ranking at Google for some of my target
keywords with David Preston... in an interview
that he shares here:
http://WebsiteSearchEngineOptimizationsecrets.com/
I quietly wondered if it was a fluke... even though
the technique had worked for many of my keyword
phrases.
Then, I shared with David a technique that I used
to add "link juice" to a listing, and felt more
confident about my methodology.
Now, I see that my target keywords have not only
stayed at #1 on Google for a month, but that for
some keywords I have 7 out of 10 positions on the
front page of Google.
Incidentally, I shared this techniques with members
of The Internet Marketing Inner Circle long ago.
However, not all of them were paying attention :-)
Are you paying attention?
A #1 listing at Google can be a very powerful
traffic generator.

Will You Just Stop...
While sitting and enjoying a cup of coffee, and quietly
contemplating how I can help you actually achieve
more online success... it suddenly struck me...
The real reason that more people aren't successful
AND how you can turn that around in about 30 minutes.
I'm sure that you'll agree that a big part of the problem
is that we're too easily distracted. We start working on
something but before we finish it, something else grabs
our attention and we go focus on that for a while.
The PROBLEM is that we generally never go back and finish
that first project.
In-fact, many of us get distracted by something else before
we can finish that second projects :-)
So the solution is obvious. Stick with ONE project...
all the way through to completion
The PROBLEM then becomes deciding which project to focus
our attention on.
After all, if you focus on the wrong project, then you
spend your time and energy doing things that you really
shouldn't be doing... while neglecting the things that you
should be doing.
Here's how you handle that.
First of all you do have to choose one project.
Choose one that will offer you a tremendous long-term
benefit. Choose one that will not just offer a return
today, but will offer a return on your time and energy
invested for a very long time.
Here's an example of how to do that in just the next
30 minutes... step-by-step:
1) Take one of the many private label rights ebooks that
you have and dust it off. Ok, that MAY take a little
longer than 30 minutes, but it will be worth it.
Go through the ebook, and make minor revisions, making sure
that it's something that you'd want to put your name on.
As you revise the ebook, include recommendations for one
of your products. If those recommendations don't fit
conveniently into the ebook, don't worry. You can just
add those to the "About The Author" or the "Recommended
Resources" sections.
Ideally, you make those links to one of your own product,
but if not, then make them for a product with a 2-tier
affiliate program.
Stick with me, and I'll explain why in just a minute.
2) Give the ebook a new title, and create a new cover
graphic for it. If you don't do graphics, get one of your
friends who does to create one for you. Creating a cover
graphic only takes a few minutes for someone proficient
at it.
3) Now, you are going to give this ebook away, with
permission to change the links recommending your products.
You're going to allow those receiving your ebook to change
those links to their affiliate links... giving them an
incentive to pass the ebook along.
If you own the product, just by giving away the rebrandable
ebook, you're building your affiliate program.
If you don't own the product, but it's for a 2-tier affiliate
program, you're building your second tier... making it
possible for other affiliates to earn YOU money.
4) Use a piece of software such as Viral Document Toolkit
( http://ViralDocumentToolkits.com/ ) to make it easy for
those receiving your ebook to change your links with just a
few clicks of the mouse.
5) Create a text (or PDF) file explaining how to rebrand
the ebook. In that file, tell them how to sign up for your
affiliate program, or for the affiliate program where you
earn the second-tier commission. Make sure to give them
your tracking link if it's for a 2-tier program :-)
6) Distribute this ebook. The smart way to do that is to
offer it from websites where lots of others drive traffic
to the sites, and those visiting the sites, visit them
SPECIFICALLY looking for ebooks like your.
The perfect example, is the free giveaway site:
http://SageMarketer.com/Giveaway/
Now we get to the part where most people FAIL!
A good percentage of people reading this note will look
over the steps above and see how easy that is. They'll
understand that if just 1000 people in the above giveaway
downloaded their ebook, and only 1/4th of them later
passed it along, they've just recruited 250 new active
affiliates.
If those new active affiliates each only made 5 sales on
average, that's 1250 EXTRA sales you've made just from
FINALLY using one of those PLR ebooks that many of us
have cluttering up our hard drives.
If those 1250 sales made you just $5 profit each, that's
$6,250.... for giving away a free ebook with rebranding
rights.
Most people reading this note will see the logic in
what I just shared, and many will also go and register
at: http://SageMarketer.com/Giveaway/ However, very
few will do the most critical part.
Very few will take this very simple plan all the way
through to completion.
What else would you need to do anyway? Let's continue
with the steps... shall we.
7) After registering at the url above, check your
email and confirm your registration. A surprising number
of people fail to take that one step that takes all
of 10 seconds.
8) Log-in, and upload your gift. Most people don't have
the discipline to simply do this. Since you do, this
plan will produce results for you.
9) While logged in, enter your Paypal details so that you
can refer others and earn a commission just from telling
them about this giveaway. You'll earn commissions when
your referrals accept the one-time offer they'll see
inside the site.
10) Grab your referral url and start spreading the word.
Tell people via email, Twitter, FaceBook, forums, etc.
11) Watch your affiliate program, and direct product sales,
begin to takeoff.
It really is that simple. I know because I follow this
basic plan frequently. It's how I'll be able to spend
at least 2 weeks vacation in Hawaii later this Summer.
The "secret" really is to "Just Stop!" jumping from
project to project, and follow one all the way through to
completion.
I suggest that you start with the one that I laid out
above. That giveaway allows you to contribute anything
that's rebrandable.
It works - it really does.
Print this out, and then just do it. Then choose the
next ONE THING that you will focus on... all the way
through to completion.
Enjoy the rest of your day, knowing that you ‘re now
actually making progress :-)

Are You Locked In Everlasting Ignorance?
Are You Locked In Everlasting Ignorance?
Copyright 2008 by Willie Crawford
Working with aspiring internet marketers for a dozen years
has been both exhilarating and exasperating.
It's exhilarating to see someone, who just the previous
month was struggling to make the rent payment, finally
"get it" and start regularly selling something that the
market loves.
It's exasperating to watch someone who "intellectually"
understands how to build a successful online business, but
for some reason won't do what they know that they should
do.
For some reason, they look at the obvious answers, say to
themselves, "there must something else," and then keep on
looking for other solutions.
When you ask these people why they're not building a list,
offering that list what they tell them that they want, and
building real relationships with members of that list, they
respond with a look of bewilderment and contempt.
The real problem seems to be that they know what you know,
but won't do what you are doing and tell them to do to...
seemingly largely out of contempt, and a disbelief that it
really can be that simple.
They are described perfectly by Herbert Spencer, when
he said:
"There is a principle which is a bar against all
information, which is proof against all arguments, and
which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance -
that principle is contempt prior to investigation."
Contempt may actually seem like a rather strong word, but
how else would you describe someone observing what you are
doing, and obviously dismissing it as too simplistic.
They understand that it works for those who use it, but for
someone as enlightened as they are, there must be something
more advanced... something more complex.
So they keep look for the secret to online success, and
smirk when they look at the "simpletons" who so willingly
dismiss their right to contempt, and do what is proven to
work.
This is of course not about anyone that you know personally.
However, if you are around internet marketing long enough,
you will encounter someone that this seems to describe
perfectly.
At that point, please be kind. There is actually nothing
that you can do for a man who chooses to stay locked
in everlasting ignorance.
