Audio - How To Dominate Your Niche With SEO Optimized Mini-site Networks

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Earlier today, I interviewed David Perdew, founder of
Niche Affiliate Marketing System on how to set up a
profitable network of mini-sites, and build a nice steady
income. David has been online since the 80’s.

We actually both set up websites in mini-networks of
interlinked, closely related websites, with each site focusing
on just a few very specific keywords.

You can listen to that interview here:

In the interview, we also tell you where to host
your website for only $97 per year, with 5
Cpanel accounts, each of which can have 999
add-on accounts. So, theoretically, you could host
up to 5000 domains for only $97 per year… when you
know the secret.

The secret is that when you visit this web page,
you go to through the order process, and when you
get to the page that asks for a coupon code, you
enter “Stimulus” and the price falls from $497 per
year to $97 per year… and that price stays the same
year after year.

===>>> http://timic.org/112

There are only a few of the packages at that price
left though, so if you enter the code, and the price
doesn’t change, you procrastinated too long :-)

David shared some excellent information during our
interview.

Radio Show,Dominating Your Niche With Your Own SEO Optimized Network Of Mini-Sites, 18 Mar 4-5pm EDT

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Discover the very system many VERY successful niche
marketers and niche bloggers use to totally dominate
their niches.

I personally rank very highly in most of the niches
that I really focus on… so do my clients in some
very competitive niches.

Our secret is that we build highly optimized mini-sites
that focus of just a few very targeted keywords. We
link these site to related websites, build external links
to those sites, and then funnel the traffic that’s
attracted to our products and services.

It sounds simple enough… and it really is very simple
when you approach it systematically.

Join me tomorrow on my radio show, where my guest will
be David Perdew, founder of the Niche Affiliate Marketing
System
.

We’ll share our proven system, that has actually been in
use by those in the know for several years, to build a
sustainable income in many competitive niches.

We’ll reveal the very system, tools, and techniques that
we use to build real online businesses, rather than the
websites that most people build which don’t really have
a viable plan.

Please join us right over the internet at

Make this on your calendar now, and don’t miss this show
where we’ll share proven how-to with you… learned in
the trenches!

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,

Are You An Internet Marketer STUCK At Selling $3 - $7 Products?

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

I was going to title this note “Are You An
Internet Marketing WIMP Afraid To Market
Anything More Expensive Than $7″ but the
title felt too long, and it also struck me
as somewhat impolite.

The reality is that many online marketers
rarely offer their lists any item more
expensive than $3 - $7.

I’m NOT knocking $7 products - I’ve created
some. I am suggesting that most people who
invest a lot of time and money, and figure
out an easy way to make an extra $300,000 per
year, are not going to sell it to you (and
their competitors) for $7.

So those inexpensive products often lack
credibility… unless it’s clear why they are
so in expensive. For example, my inexpensive
products are often list-builders… and a way
to point out more comprehensive products!

More importantly, if you have loftier income
(and life-style) goals, you’ll never get there
$5 at a time.

I also want to “smack you across the head”
with the FACT that there are members of your
list BUYING products in the $497 -  $10,000
price range today.  You’re missing those sales
because you don’t offer those products.

Just look at some of the recent big ticket
product launches.

As long as your customers actually USE the
products long enough for them to have time
to work, those products are often a great
investment.   They push your customers
forward at an accelerated pace.

So the question becomes, “How do you actually
SELL big ticket products.” After all, they do
“look” harder to sell to many people.

I thought that you’d never ask :-)

I created an audio that explains EXACTLY how
I do it, and I even had the audio transcribed
for you.

The product IS inexpensive because creating it
only involved me answering a few questions
about how I do things every day… and then
having that audio transcribed.

Sharing this information with you doesn’t really
impact my bottom line, because when I prove to
you that I really “know my stuff” you’re very
likely to want to become a coaching client :-)

I also really wanted to help all of the people
who contact me every week saying they “need help
with the mortgage” or medical expenses.  I can’t
possibly send financial help to everyone who asks,
or I’D soon be asking for help myself.

Instead, I created this inexpensive recording:
http://SellMoreBigTicket.com

I did want to be as generous as possible though,
so, when you purchase the recording, during the
download, you are also offered the opportunity
to become an affiliate, and earn 100% INSTANT
commission, deposited directly to your Paypal
account,

I DON’T want you to buy the product just to resell
it. After all, it IS an inexpensive item, and I
just told you that that won’t get you THAT far.
Instead, study the materials, and while applying
what I teach, also offer it to others who could use
some great advice… based solidly on my
experience… and earn a few easy dollars.

My New Top 10 Free Website Traffic Generation Methods - Part 1

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

My New Top 10 Free Website Traffic Generation Methods - Part 1
Copyright 2010 by Willie Crawford

In 2008, I wrote an ebook that revealed my most effective
methods of generating free website traffic. As online
conditions and technologies change, I feel it’s now time
to update that ebook.

However, instead of revealing my new top 10 free website
traffic generation methods in ebook format, I’m going to do
it in a 10-part article series.

While I do list these methods in order of my preference,
it’s not necessarily by which ones produce the most traffic.
Instead, I list them also considering which  produce the
highest quality traffic, and therefore adds the most to my
bottom-line.

Let’s get started…

My number one favorite method of generating free website
traffic is via an affiliate program.  I like releasing
simple, inexpensive products that pay as much as 100%
commission on the front-end.  Properly done, this can create
thousands of affiliates all working frantically to send you
highly-qualified BUYING traffic.

They find and send you traffic that you wouldn’t otherwise
have, and you reward them for doing so.

If you’d like to see a live example of how I do this, visit:
http://sellmorebigticket.com The product there is a
$17 audio/ebook combination where I pay affiliates 100%
commission.  That ebook is called “The Secrets To Selling
More Big Ticket Products” and is an MP3 and PDF transcript
where I share exactly how I do that :-)

There are a number of keys to making this most effective,
and I see many people who attempt this tactic missing
some of the most important elements.  Those keys are:

1) You want to make managing the whole system as easy
as possible.  If your system is too burdensome, you won’t
use it for very long.  I use the Rapid Action Profits
system, developed by my friend Sid Hale, to manage this
affiliate program. I use it because once I set up a site,
RAP makes management practically hands-free.  The script
can be configured to pay any percentage commission that you
desire on a front-end and/or back-end product.

The beauty of the system is that when a sale is made,
the affiliate is paid instantly directly to their Paypal
account, and the customer is redirected to a download
page.  At that point, my affiliate has sent me that
prized traffic, but as importantly, is also building me
a mailing list.

2) You need to also have a good back-end product in-place.
I typically have a second product that I offer
immediately after that first sale. You can offer
affiliates any percentage commission on this sale,
and I often don’t offer any since I’ve given them all
of the money from the front-end sale.

The key though, is that if you do offer a back-end
product (or one-time-offer) you will often get a major
percentage of customer take it.  So, if you don’t have
that offer in place, you’re leaving behind much of
your profits.

3) You need to have follow-up in place.  It does little
good to build that list if you don’t later follow-up
with them.  Another reason that I like using Rapid
Action Profits is that it builds a database right within
the software.

Since some web hosting companies limit the number of
emails that you can send from their servers (at one time),
RAP also offers the capability for automatically
building your list on a third-party system (such as
Aweber.com or ProfitAutomation.com).

I have at least 30 sites built using RAP. Those are all
traffic generation systems.  Can you tell that I like
RAP?  You should check out RAP at http://timic.org/RAP

4) Here’s where a lot of people using this traffic
generation method cut corners, and fail…

You need to give affiliates lots of great tools so that
it’s really, REALLY easy for them to register as
affiliates and then promote like crazy.

Many of your affiliates won’t feel comfortable creating
tools on their own. So, if you don’t give them the
tools, they’ll end up doing nothing.  Tools should
include:
- Banners in a variety of sizes
- Solo emails
- Blog posts
- Tweets
- Classified ads (suitable for Google AdWords)

The tools should have the affiliates’ links automatically
inserted in the proper places - something RAP handles
beautifully.  If you force your affiliates to have to
track down links, and then manually edit the tools you
offer, many won’t bother.

5) Here’s how you make your traffic generator go viral…

Invite your customers to become affiliates after they
purchase.  I’ve seen many merchants put links to their
affiliate program right on the sales page. I don’t like
this technique since I feel that it can distract customers
that your affiliates worked hard to send you. So, I
don’t feel that it’s fair.

Instead, I put links to sign-up for the affiliate
program on my product download pages, AND often in the
products themselves.  Simply explain to customers that
they can register, promote the product, and earn instant
commissions.  This is very effective, especially when
you have all of those great affiliate tools in place.

It’s also very effective because the INSTANT commissions
helps those who need the cash now!

Ok, I’ve just shared with you my very favorite method
for generating free website traffic.  I basically get
others to send me the traffic, and then I have tools
in place to leverage that traffic.

Stay tuned for part 2.

How To Publish Your Book On A Shoestring Budget In Four Months Or Less

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Last August, I went on the first “Social Media By
The Sea Cruise”
and had an absolute blast.

I met a lot of people outside of my normal circle
of friends… people who aren’t “Internet Marketers.”

I became genuine friends with many of them, have had
several of them on my radio show, and even partnered
with one of them… with several other partnerships
in the works.

John Hinds and I collaborated on a course on… how
to write and publish you own book on a shoestring
budget in four months or less.

John and I have both done this. I wrote my bio, “Git
Off The Porch”
in less than three months, for example.

You can get a copy of the course that John and I created
at: http://publishyourbookonabudget.com/

We ARE going on another Social Media By The Sea Cruise
this coming August 8th - 15th. I post the full details
of that cruise here in the next few days. I just want
to absolutely confirm my facts first.

In the meantime, check out the produce that sprang from
just ONE partnership formed on the last one

Be sure to reserve the cruise dates… it’s going to be a
lot of fun!

How To Get Paid $17 Just For A Tweet…

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

On Monday, February 15th, I released a product called
The Secrets To Selling More Big Ticket Products.”

In that product I explained my BEST tactics for how I
make more sales of my own AND affiliate products, and
how I often do that by getting others to do all of
the hard work.

The report is pretty good, if I do say so myself. A
lot of buyers think so.

So, how does that make you $17 for a tweet?

The product sells for $17, and has a 100% commission
program, paying that $17 INSTANTLY to your Paypal
account, as soon as you make a sale.

So… you do need to buy and read or listen to the
product. You get both the MP3 and a PDF transcript.

When you download it, you’ll also be offered an
opportunity to register as an affiliate. Grab your
affiliate link, read or listen to the product, and
then tweet about it… using your affiliate link.

If that tweet makes you just 2 sales, you’ve
recouped your $17 PLUS made a $17 profit, PLUS you
will have picked up some EXCELLENT affiliate
marketing tactics that very few marketers will share
with you because most don’t think the way that I
do.

Make 10 sales from that tweet (or blog post) and
that’s $170 in commissions. Not really that hard to
do :-)

My methods flat out WORK for me, and they should for
you too, though I do need to tell you that I’m a
SUPER AFFILIATE, with 13 years experience as an
“Internet Marketer.” So, my results aren’t typical.

Grab a copy though, read it, tweet about it, and
both make some instant cash, and learn how to make
more sales of higher priced products, which means
much bigger commissions!

You’ll be pleasantly surprised!
