Willie Crawford Teaches Internet Marketing

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:

That is the title of a 2-hour audio interview that I
recorded with Super Affiliate Doug Champigny.

In it I share the exact in-depth tactics and
techniques that we use to generate many times more
sales than your “average” affiliate.

I share with you how I sometimes easily generate as
much as $70,000 in affiliate sales in mere days,
during a major product launch, using tactics that
ANYONE can use.

My secret is that I do have a system and I’m very
methodical, deliberate, and do things that have
proven to work for me and my peers.

How do you get this free MP3 audio?

Just visit The International Association Of Joint
Venture Brokers member-only forum. The link is near
the top  of the forum.

We’re offering this MP3 for free to generate more
members and activity in IAJVB.

*** You can get the Silver Membership  free at:

At the recent Niche Affiliate Marketing System (NAMS) Workshop,
I gave two presentation… one on list-building to the beginners
group, and one of traffic generation to the intermediate group.

I also helped with FOUR workshops

If you missed NAMS3, you can get the recordings very
inexpensively at: http://timic.org/NAMS3

NAMS is not a pitchfest… instructors go very in-depth
in their presentations, and then in follow-on hands-on
workshops, have attendees actually DO what they just
taught… with assistants walking around the room helping
anyone who gets “stuck.”  It’s this level of training
that you’ll get  in the recordings, so again, they are
VERY worth getting.

A common thread in both of the presentations that I gave,
plus in many of the workshops that I helped teach, was
that you really do need your own affiliate program

I preach that having your own affiliate program allows
you to get OTHERS to send you website traffic and new
list members who are PROVEN BUYERS.

The affiliates will do all of the heavy lifting if you
just give them a great product and the right tools.

Since with an affiliate program, you only pay for
performance, it really costs you nothing.  I’m
presuming that your affiliates are reaching customers
that you wouldn’t be reaching. In many of my markets,
I assume that I’m not reaching even 1/10th of my potential
customers.

I NEED affiliates to introduce me to their contacts.

I need affiliates to make recommendations for my products
since they are already know and trusted by their list
members and followers. This allows you to borrow or leverage
someone else’s credibility.

Setting up an affiliate program can be really, really
simple.  I explain a lot of what I do in this PowerPoint
presentation that you can download free here:
http://WebsiteTrafficPhD.com/PowerPoint.htm

As I said, you need to give your affiliates a great product
and the right tools.   I cover both in my slides that I
offered above.

The two easiest ways to create a product quickly is to
record an interview with an expert, or to find a good
private label rights product and rework it.  Let’s talk
about how I do both.

For the record product with the expert, I simply ask
someone who knows a LOT about a topic that my
audience is interested in, if I can interview them.
MOST say yes… they love talking about their area of
expertise, and appreciate the value of the free publicity
for them and their products.

I use Audio Acrobat to record our call right over the
phone. Audio Acrobat cost $20 per month, and you can
make an unlimited number of recorded calls and have so
many benefits that you simply need to check out the site
at http://williec.audioacrobat.com

I’ve used Audio Acrobat for over 4 years, which tells you
how satisfied I am with them

Within minutes of hanging up from the phone interview, I
can download the MP3 recording. I use Audacity or Sound
Forge to clean up the audio if necessary… removing
coughs, excessive pauses, small talk, etc.

Then I pass the audio to my transcriptionist to have
them type it our so that I can turn it into a PDF
complete with live hyperlinks.

I want the live hyperlinks because that is where I often
build in backend profits. If the interviewee has an
affiliate program, I often ask if I can use an affiliate
link when discussing their products as a solution to
some problem.

As soon you get your audio and transcript ready, you
have a product ready to roll. You could even offer just
the MP3, or offer the transcript as an upsell.

I typically set these products up on a site designed
just for the ONE product.  I power my affiliate program
with my friend and neighbor, Sid Hale’s Rapid Action
Profits script.

The reason that I use Rapid Action Profits is that it
allows me to pay affiliates INSTANTLY… with customers
making payments directly to affiliates Paypal accounts
before Paypal redirects the customer to my download
page.

Affiliate who need cash NOW rather than having to wait
a month or more to get paid really appreciate products
the instant commission. I also often pay 100% commission
on the front end product, making the product even more
attractive to affiliates!

You can check out Rapid Action Profits at:
http://timic.org/rap

The second way to come up with a product FAST is to
start with private label rights.  I think of private
label rights as a product where someone else has done
the research and created “the first draft.”

With PLR I recommend that you:
- Revise it, making sure it’s accurate, in your own
voice, and even has links to additional resources that
you recommend (your affiliate links).
- Give it a new title
- Have new graphics created
- Revise any provide website to make it more powerful
and of course to reflect the new product name.

If you do a good job with PLR, the original creator of
the product should not even recognize it… that’s when
you know that you have something that delivers a lot
of value, yet is unique in the market place.

After you have your product ready to roll, you just
need to get the word out.  You can do that in numerous
way that I’ll cover in a future post… one I’ll write
shortly… after I’ve taken care of a few other things

Bookmark the site and drop by often.

I will recommend that you list your new affiliate product
in the database at http://TIMIC.ORG That requires a Gold
or higher membership.

You can also post that you are looking for affiliates/
JV partners on many popular forums.

A way to grow your affiliate program, and as a result
your subscriber/customer base, and your website traffic
REALLY fast… is to recruit your new customers as
affiliates. Rapid Action Profits makes it really easy
to do this.

Just stick a link to your affiliate program on your
download page. I DON’T like links to the affiliate
program on the sales page as I feel this a disservice to
hard-working affiliates. They send you customers ready
to buy, and instead of encouraging them to buy you
short-sightedly entice them to become affiliates
instead.  I do think that is fair, but many of my peers
will disagree

You can also recruit your customers as affiliates by
adding a page to your product (ebook) inviting the
customer to join. You can do the same thing in a
follow-up autoresponder message

Customers who have already used, and therefore know
and hopefully LIKE your product make some of the best
affiliates anyway.

Ok, so grab my slides at:
http://WebsiteTrafficPhD.com/PowerPoint.htm

Grab RAP at:  http://timic.org/rap

If you need a new domain name you can find one dirt
cheap at http://WillieCrawford.com/domains/
I set that up to offer domain names to my clients at
near cost.

You may also be able to find a domain name that’s
already aged, and therefore may rank higher in the
search engine, in my database of domain names that I
have for sale at:  http://DomainsForSaleByWillie.com

When you see a domain name that you want at the url
listed above just click on the link next to the domain
name and make me an offer… if it’s reasonable, I’ll
accept it

Ok, what are you wait on

I’ve been online since 1996 now, and during MOST of that
time, I’ve been steadily working at growing my database…
my list of subscribers.

Consequently, I have a substantial database that spans
numerous niches and sub-niches.

For practically every product that I sell, ever website
that I build, and every free or MP3 that I give away, I
incorporate list-building into the process somehow. It’s
NOT always with the use of a forced opt-in (a squeeze page).

I sometimes give a direct download link and then in the
product or on the download page, ask them to join my list.
In those instances, I’m delivering value and proving that
it’s worth being on my list BEFORE asking them to join it.

I was taught, very early in my online career, that you
should have an opt-in form on practically every page of
your website. So, I do that, except on pages where the
opt-in form would pull webpage visitors away from another
objective that the page is set up to accomplish.

You should be doing the same.

I publish regular newsletters, or have autoresponder
sequences set up in many niches. It’s pointless to build
a list (or database) if you are not going to communicate
with them regularly. It’s just wasting disk space and
resources.

If you contact your list infrequently, they forget about
you, and file spam complaints on those rare occasions
when you DO email them… since they often honestly don’t
remember how they got on your list.

I hear too many people  who have been online a year or
more, in comparing themselves to me, say that my big
advantage is that I have a list.  My response to that is
“So when are you going to start building yours?”

Some people aren’t as prolific or as comfortable writing
as I am.  My answer is that as you do it more, you grow
into feeling comfortable with it.  I still make many
mistakes, but as long as my message is reaching (and
benefiting) my intended audience that’s all that REALLY
matters.

If you really don’t feel up to putting together your own
ezine, grab this collection of 24 pre-written ezine
issues:  http://timic.org/YourOwnEzine
Set them up to go our once every two weeks. That covers
you for a year in delivering solid content to your
subscribers.

On the weeks in-between issues, send out a solo mailing
promoting a product that you REALLY, REALLY believe in,
and that you know will REALLY, REALLY help your customers.
If you need help finding new products, join the IAJVB.
You’ll find a database of new product launches (and
relaunches) there.  Take the free silver membership if
you are just an affiliate marketer, and don’t have your
own products that you want to list in the database.

Get the free IAJVB membership at http://IAJVB.ORG

Publishing your ezine can then be as simple as having
an issue pre-scheduled to go out every other week. On
the other weeks, you can send out  one of the
cut-and-paste emails provided by one of the affiliate
programs that you found at: http://IAJVB.ORG

One of my most effective, and simplest list-building
techniques is to offer free MP3’s or PDF’s of
interviews that I’ve record, posting to places like
Twitter (or posting to dozens of sites using Sokule
http://timic.org/Sokule ).

An even better technique for building a list and traffic
is to set up a simple affiliate program selling an
inexpensive product, paying 100% instant commission,
and having OTHERS send you tons of traffic and new
subscribers. That’s how I literally get THOUSANDS of
new subscribers some months

I’ll write about that in my next blog post. For
now do two things:

1) Join IAJVB, taking the free Silver Membership
at http://IAJVB.ORG

2) Get the PLR ezine, with 24 pre-written issues,
edit them slightly, and get them online… and
building a list (and building your relationship
with that list). Get those at:
http://timic.org/YourOwnEzine

Ok, so we just took care of that excuse. We’ll
tackle another one in my next blog post!

How can you be expected to sell anything with that junk?

Not so with Product Source Goldmine E-Books.

your mailing list.

And we don’t stop there. We also give you 12 emails which can

Talk about graphics. Most people give you an ebook cover and

good designer too…just Not good enough for this product).
