Are You Fooling Yourself By Saying “You’ll Do It Next Week?”

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

I’m a person who will gets an idea for a product, maps it
out, and often a day later, have a product online.

In other words I don’t over-think things.

Like my dear friend, Dr. Mani, I acknowledge that not
everything that I do is going to be a winner. Some things
will be failures, some will be marginally successful, some
will be fairly successful, and others will be wildly
successful.

The “homeruns”… the wildly successful things are
admittedly fairly rare… but I get a lot of things that
are fairly successful… “singles” if you will. I get my
share of winners.

The fairly successful things are what keep me going,
and keep me not afraid to do it today.

The homeruns get all of the press and publicity, and
make up for all of the failures and marginal successes.

I get so many emails from people who over-analyze things
and tell themselves that they’re going to do it “next
week”… as if they’re suddenly going to develop the
discipline and get into action.

Next week is NOT the time to do it… today is!

What should you be doing today?

I don’t know. I don’t know your situation.

If you are an info marketer, I will suggest a free
membership here: http://timic.org/RAPBank This lets
you buy and sell products offering instant commissions.

Why would you put off joining that site? There’s no risk,
except the risk of doing nothing.

If you need to get back in shape, because you spend too
many hours sitting in front of a computer, let me
introduce you to my coach: http://timic.org/Zna

She is how I’ve committed to, and have already started
getting back in shape.

If you don’t already have several high ranked, profitable
websites, I suggest you join this site:
http://timic.org/112

For that last suggestion, I offer free training in exactly
how I tap into this.

I signed THREE local offline consulting clients TODAY. The
reason that I was able to do that is because I demonstrated
to them that I knew what I was talking about, and that I
could help them.

If you’d like to learn my system for TOTALLY dominating
very competitive niches, tune into my radio show tomorrow
at 4-5pm EDT. It’s at http://timic.org/OnAir

On that show, I’m going to share so much of my system that
I’m going to strip away every excuse that you could possibly
have for doing nothing.

I hope to see you on the show. I promise to hold absolutely
NOTHING back.

In the meantime go ahead and get signed up here:

Next week is not the time - today is!

use by those in the know for several years, to build a

New Instant Commission Marketplace For Digital Products, Services And Even Physical Products

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Today, I interviewed Bill Ortell and his partner Eric
on the new RAPBank mall, a digital marketplace that
you can join for free.

Affiliates can signup for free and grab and affiliate
link and start promoting products in a wide variety of
niches.

You can listen to the interview here:

During the interview we talked about how affiliates can
use the system but my bigger interest was in how merchants
can use the system since I am a prolific product creator.

I noticed the system because it provides a ready poor
of affiliates ready to promote your product. Many are
attracted by the fact that as soon as you make a sale,
you get paid an instant commission deposited directly
to your Paypal account.

One thing that came out of the discussion was that you
can not only sell digitally downloadable products via
this system, but also services (such as coaching),
memberships, and even physical products.  One merchant
has already listed his next seminar there.

This is a very powerful and versatile system that you
really should get registered for now. Registration is
free :-)

You can register for the system, RAPBank at
http://timic.org/RAPBank

We also spent some time talking about the Rapid
Action Profits system itself, the script that RAPBank
partially derives it’s name from. You can check out RAP,
a system that I use and love, at: http://timic.org/RAP

Feel free to point this interview out to your friends.

Thanks,
Willie

A CRITICAL Secret Your Guru Never Told You…

Monday, March 15th, 2010

I got an email yesterday from an upset subscriber
pointing out that MOST of the so-called Internet
marketing gurus never reveal anything useful.

He went on to say that they never even respond
to his emails… all they do is sell, sell, sell.

I responded, and eventually determined what was
really bothering him.  I’ll get into that in
another email… but it was the fact that he was
struggling… trying to figure out EXACTLY what to
sell, and how.

However, in thinking things through, I realized
that I had not shared one of my BIGGEST secrets
with you.

If you read the bio frequently used to introduce
my during interviews, etc., it says that I have
over 1600 websites.  What it DOESN’T says is that
most of those website are very simple 1-5 page
mini-sites that require very little maintenance.

What many people miss is that you DON’T need an
elaborate website, with tons of pages, and all
of the bells and whistles, to operate a successful
online business.

In-fact, what I teach many of my students/clients,
who operate internet businesses AND many who
operate offline businesses do but need a web presence,
is that all you really need is:

1) A simple WordPress blog, which serves as your
landing page (homepage).

2) A lead capture form on your blog to build an
email list, feeding them into an autoresponder
system for automated follow-up.

You may or may not offer some type of gift to
get them to join your mailing list. However, it
IS critical that you build that list.

3) A traffic generation system to get the right
people to notice and visit your blog.

That really IS all that you need, and the reason
I’m big on WordPress blogs is that if you
configure them correctly, they make all of the
other pieces so easy.

Here’s what I really wanted to share with you
today…

Having numerous websites doesn’t have to cost you
an arm and a leg. I DON’T spend a fortune on my
hosting even though I have several dedicated
servers for various reasons (I do have several
large, very intensive sites).

I wanted to show you a place where you can host up
to 5000 websites for only $97 per year.
Yes up to
FIVE THOUSAND websites for only $97 per year.

If I do my math right, $97 divided by 5000 means
that you can host those websites for less than
2 cents each for an entire year.

I’m willing to bet that no matter WHO you are
following, they haven’t pointed this out to you.
That’s because only a handful of people know about
the resource that I’m about to share with you.

Also, at $97 per year to host up to 5000
websites, there’s not a lot of profit in it for
them… and that may be a reason that even those
who do know about this didn’t tell you!

Here’s the deal…

Check out http://timic.org/80

Read the page very closely. You’ll see that this
is set up for those who want to build a LOT of
small websites like I mentioned earlier.  There are
some restrictions.

When you get to the bottom of the page, you’ll see
that the offer is for you to host up to 5000
websites for $497 per year.

Here’s the secret…

If you go through the checkout process AND you are
in the know, you enter a secret “coupon code”
into the order form, and the price falls from
$497 to $97.

Yes, the package at http://timic.org/80 is already
a great deal. However, when you know “the code” you
save an amazing $400.

How powerful is that?

I should point out that the “coupon code” IS only
good through the end of the month, or until another
85 or so customers are signed up.  At that point,
I don’t think that you’ll be able to get in for less
than the $497 per year, but even then we’re talking
less than 10 cents per domain per year… if you
were to actually set up 5000 domains!

Of course, I don’t know many people fanatical
enough to set up 5000 domains. Not even I am that
ambitious. Actually, if you only set up a
handful of domains, you’d be crazy not to use this
resource.

Go take a look now.  As I said, the crazy special
that I’m point out is only good for less than 90 new
customers.

I do suppose that you’ll need the coupon code :-)

It’s “Stimulus”  … without the quotes.

Now, you know something that even most of the
so-called “gurus” don’t even know.

Don’t tell them ;-)

The Easiest Way To Get Your Affiliates To Do Another Mailing For You

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

It’s no secret that, for MOST affiliate programs MOST
affiliates produce little to NO results. Most just
register, and then simply do nothing!

In fact, in most affiliate programs where I’ve been
privy to the stats, the top 3-5% produced 95% of sales.

Most affiliates who sign up, but never promote, probably
had every intention of promoting at one time. Why else
would they have bothered registering?

This can be very frustrating for the affiliate program
operator who sees this huge pool of potentially active
promoters… who could be generating a LOT of sales.

Here’s one tactic to get those inactive affiliates to
promote, AND to get those who’ve already promoted,
to promote again…

Simply have some new tools created and get them into
the affiliates hands.  This does two things:

1) For those who’ve already promoted and consider
the existing tools old/stale, it gives them
something new to use.

2) The fact that you have new tools gives you another
“excuse” to contact all of your affiliates.  You should
be emailings and motivating your affiliates regularly
anyway, but many who operate affiliate programs don’t…
for whatever reason.

Simply send out an update email, which among other things,
points out a new tool… perhaps a fresh new solo
mailing.

*** Include the new tool in the mailing, and make sure
that it already has the affiliates’ links embedded.

You need to make it as easy as possible for your
affiliates to promote.  Make it so easy that NOT
promoting will feel like they are leaving money on
the table.

Make it so easy that promoting will feel almost like
an “impulse action.”  Think of the impulse items in
a supermarket…near the register… and how often people
buy just because it is so convenient.  Make doing another
mail that easy for your affiliates.

I sometimes work as a JV Broker, and have learned that
one of the reasons JV partners don’t promote more,
or more often, is that the product owner often makes
them jump through hoops to get promotional tools, etc.

I also TRAIN JV Brokers, as a co-founder of
TheJVUniversity.  My co-founders and I put together
this ebook that is very eye-opening:

http://thejvuniversity.com/ebook/?e=JVUCo-Founder

Putting joint ventures together, both online and
offline is one of the most lucrative businesses that
I know. However, it’s knowing little tips like the
one I just shared with you that can easily TRIPLE
the bottom-line in a JV deal.

Stay tune for more tips like this, and more on being
a JV broker or JV facilitator ;-)

Don’t Be The Frustrated Marketer- Ignoring Free Money

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Don’t Be The Frustrated Marketer- Ignoring Free Money
Copyright 2010 by Willie Crawford

Many internet marketers who have been online for
years struggle to earn a living.  They spend
countless hours trying to come up with clever
marketing campaigns that will allow them to
make lots of sales of the latest whiz-bang
internet marketing do-hickey.

After a week of promoting that do-hickey, maybe
not making a single sale, their attention is
grabbed by the fact that guru-y is getting
ready to do a product launch. So, they jump on
that bandwagon, sure that this is where their
ship will come in.

They repeat this insane behavior week-after-week,
launch-after-launch.

In the interim they notice resale rights to
some course or software that sounds really great.
So, they buy the resale rights, stick them in a
folder on their harddrive, and plan how that are
going to market this.

They flow out an EXCELLENT marketing plan, based
upon years of studying what works in direct
response marketing.

However, before they put up a webpage to begin
marketing this product, they notice that guru-z is
getting ready to do a big product launch… one with
insane commissions. So, they prepare to promote
the daylights out of that.  Sadly, the launch
comes and goes, and they often don’t make a
single sale.

Then, they notice that some really talented
researcher, programmer, or writer is selling
private label rights to a great sounding product.
Or perhaps  someone  looking to build a list is
even giving away PLR to a product that sounds really
nice.

They grab those private label rights, stick them in
a folder on their harddrive, and map out how they
are going to market that product.

Before they identifying exactly what’s in the PLR
package, they notice that guru-x has just started
a product launch.  Actually, they can’t help but
notice because they get a box full of promotions.

Feeling like they must be missing out on something
big, they find the affiliate registration page,
sign up, and jump into the fray.  After promoting
for a few days and not making a single sale, they
ask themselves what they are doing wrong?

So they turn to a sage un-guru who’s been around
for years, steadily earning a nice living online,
and they ask, “What am I doing wrong.”

The un-guru responds, “You’re running too fast in
the wrong direction.” He goes on to explain that
the way you make money online or offline is that
you identify what your customers want and then
you offer it to them.

Knowing the pattern of the struggling marketer
all too well, the un-guru draws a deep breath
and then asked the million dollar question.

He asks, “Do you have resale rights or private
label rights to a product that you KNOW solves
a painful problem that your customers have?”

The frustrated marketer looks on his harddrive
and identifies 100 such products.  Admitting
he does, the frustrated marketer protests,
“but these are old products!”

The un-guru asks, “So you’re telling me that
the information in those products is no longer
accurate?”

After about 30 minutes of this, the frustrated
marketer finally “gets it!”

“Ok, so I can rework that PLR into a really
nice product, BUT not having a large list
or tons of guru friends, how do I sell it?”

Tiring of all the nonsense, the un-guru points
the frustrated marketer to RAP Bank, and says,
“You can set up a website using the Rapid
Action Profits script, then list your product
at RAP Bank.”

The un-guru explains that RAP Bank is a
digital marketplace where affiliates looking
for product that pay instant commissions go
to sift through the database.

The un-guru continues by explaining that
the frustrated buyer could upload not just
one but as many of his products as he desired
there, and as long as they were quality
products that met certain rules, they would
be listed.

He explains that the frustrated marketer could
even upload resale rights products there.

Then, the un-guru said, “Image if you had
20 product there, and you only sold 1 copy a
week of each at $17 per copy, and you paid
50% commission, what would that mean.”

The frustrated marketer lit up with a big
smile and said, “That would mean I’d earn
$680 per month,  but I’m sure I could sell
more than 1 copy per week of my quality
products!”

The un-guru said, well, “With the right products
you certainly should.” He explained that lots
of affiliates sifted through the RAP Bank
marketplace looking for quality product,
anxious to sell them and collect those
instant commissions.

The frustrated but now hopeful marketer asked,
“What’s the url to that RAP Bank anyway?”

The un-guru smiled and said:
http://sagemarketer.com/RAPBank/
He went on to add “and yes, that’s an
affiliate link.   While you can sign up at
RAP Bank for free, they do offer upgrade
options, and when you upgrade, whoever
referred you earns a commission.”

The now smiling, formerly frustrated
marketer went off to submit his products
to RAP Bank thinking how all that time
he’d been ignoring free money, hidden in
all those products already sitting on his
harddrive.

Don’t YOU be like that frustrated marketer.
Instead, right this minute, go checkout:

Willie Crawford, who has been marketing goods
and services over  the internet since 1996,
thinks that RAP Bank is perhaps the best thing
he’s seen come along in all those years. See

Does Willie Crawford Have A Flipping Clue About Internet Marketing?

Friday, February 19th, 2010

I couldn’t resist this from-the-heart feedback
on my new product (PDF and MP3) called,

“The Secrets To Selling More Big Ticket Products”

Nickolove, whom I see freqently at seminars and
conferences, was on the line live when I recorded
this product, but also has the transcripts.

Anyway, here’s what this experienced Internet
Marketers had to say about it…

Willie Crawford does indeed teach real Internet
marketing and he does so without all the hype and
fanfare that you get from some other marketers.

But not only is Willie a great teacher he also a
practitioner. He’s out in the trenches putting
his experience and expertise into practice and so
what he teaches isn’t theoretical or based on
hearsay. Instead it’s based on current,
cutting-edge practices.

In fact, as Willie teaches you Internet marketing
he’s often practicing Internet marketing as was
the case when Willie did the initial live
presentation of “The Secrets to Selling More Big
Ticket Products”. He shared with us, his
audience, step-by-step how he intended to monetise
the presentation and he has done exactly what he
said he would do providing a really great case
study along with all the other case studies he
mentions.

Another great benefit of Willie’s secrets to
selling more big ticket items is that you don’t
need a big budget to get started. While some of
the strategies will take time to implement, the
advice Willie shares is doable by just about
anyone.

However, you choose to consume “The Secrets to
Selling More Big Ticket Products” you’re going
to want to listen to the audio and or read the
transcript more than once because it truly is
jam-packed with excellent tips. I’ve been
successful in selling big ticket items in the past
and I’m really looking forward to putting
Willie’s secrets into action so that I can have
more big pay-days on a more consistent basis.
