Willie

I get approached by people every day asking me what’s
the quickest way to launch an internet marketing business
that will put them “in the black” in the shortest amount
of time.

I tell them to sell something that lots of people want
and are willing to pay for.

That answer seems almost sarcastic, but it’s not. It’s
actually what I’ve had numerous people that I’ve coached
do. These were individuals who came to me deeply in debt.

Let’s expand upon the things that I teach them.

The first thing that is obvious to me is that desperate
people often make BAD decisions. When we have our backs
against the wall, and the world seems to be crumbling
all around us, we simply see the world through a
different set of glasses. It’s during those times that
you need someone who is calmer, and less stressed, to
serve as a voice of reason.

The first question to be answered is often “how do I
generate immediate cash, and stop the hemorrhaging.” My
answer is often to sell a product that pays instant
commissions, and I recommend products that also pay a
high percentage commission.

An example of such a product is the ebook, “20 Ways To
Make $100 Per Day Online” (http://20Ways.org). This
ebook sells for $27 but has a customer-only affiliate
program that pays 100% commission. So I have these
cash-strapped clients buy a copy of the ebook so that
their data is in the system as an authorized seller and
because this is a very powerful ebook.

Next I have them spend a few hours actually reading the
ebook. As they read the ebook, they usually get an
idea of what they should personally be selling and they
share with me their roadmap for recovery. Naturally that
makes me smile because for $27 and a few hour reading,
“I solved” their seemingly insurmountable problem

After they’ve read 20 Ways, I have them write a review
of the ebook, in their own words (nothing hypey). I have
them post this review on their blog, and also send this
review out to their email list or personal contacts.

They are usually SHOCKED when the sales come flooding
in, but I have literally seen people make $3000 in
sales in under a week using this simple system. “The
secret” is that when you write a review in plain English,
and it comes from the heart, your readers can sense this.

Authenticity and honesty sells like nothing else.

The objection that I sometimes get from clients is that
they don’t have a big list. I point out to them that they
don’t need a big list, they just need a list of the
right people. Most marketers that I know with huge lists
have horrible conversion rates (as a percentage of their
total list). That’s because on those huge lists, probably
less than 10% are true followers.

So, if you build a smaller list, but it’s comprised of
people who actually read your email, blog posts, “tweets”
or Facebook posts, you can out-market many “gurus.”

One of the most successful “up-and-comers” that I know
is Craig Beckta. Craig doesn’t have a huge list, a
busy website, or even a well-known name. So, Craig had
to figure out how to be where people who are looking for
what he is selling are at.

Craig does that using “Web 2.0 Sites” and “below-the-radar”
marketing methods that most of the big list owners don’t
even notice. Craig quietly positions himself so that as
the large list owners whip the market into a frenzy
about a given product, he is right where those excited
buyers are when they are ready to purchase.

Craig calls his system “The Secret Affiliate Code” and
it’s actually something that I both teach and use. In
fact, Craig recently released a very inexpensive course
called “Secret Affiliate Code 2″ and included an audio
interview of me and my stealth tactics in it.

As I read through Craig’s course, he used numerous
examples of what he had observed me doing to make various
points. I was actually somewhat honored.

The key for someone with their back against the wall
IS to initially find low-cost or free ways of getting
the word out. One example that I’ll mention is Twitter,
at http://Twitter.com.

Twitter is the fastest growing phenomenon that I’ve ever
seen! If you’re not there, you need to sign up today.

Craig mentions Twitter in Secret Affiliate Code, and even
shows his method for accumulating “followers” at “the
speed of light.” His methods are completely ethical,
don’t spam, and quickly build a following of people who
actually like and connect with you.

I mentioned Twitter in particular because that IS one of
the places that I point clients who are in a desperate
financial bind. In some ways, your Twitter following IS
“a list.” It’s a group of people who tune in to your
posts (your tweets) as long as you keep them interesting.
If they find your posts boring or spammy then they simply
click a link and “unfollow” you. In that respect it’s
no different than an ezine subscriber getting off your list.

The biggest difference between Twitter and building a
regular opt-in email list is that I’ve seen relative
unknowns build a following of over 1000 in a week and of
over 3000 in a month. These are 3000 people who will read
what you post, and check out products and services that
you recommend, if you do it properly.

To learn the intricacies of tapping into Twitter and several
other social media sites, I do recommend that you get
and study Secret Affiliate Code 2. Get a copy at:
http://SecretAffiliateCode2Exposed.com

I’ve studied Craig’s teaching at length, and do use them.
At the same time, I really understand how to harness the
power of social media. In-fact, I was recently listed
#9 on the list of “The 50 Most Powerful and Influential
Men in Social Media.”

Craig’s methods work

You may ask, do I actually recommend that cash-strapped
individuals get both of the products above. My answer is
yes, and it’s for a very important reason. It’s very
important that they have an investment in their own
success. They get rid of excuses when they do.

It’s something that parents understand intuitively, and
why we often have our children invest in the purchase of
their first car although we could just give it to them.
If they spend their hard-earned money on a car, even if you
help them with the payments, it has more meaning to them.
It represents their sweat, and they’ll drive it more
carefully, and take much better care of it.

It also instills a bit of pride, and gets rid of that feeling
of being a victim.

We’re strange creatures who can experience MASSIVE mood
changes in mere seconds. Knowing that we are not curled up
in a corner whimpering, but proactively working to solve
a problem, shifts our moods dramatically, and causes us to
be willing to take massive action.

When you are over you head in debt, it does often take
massive action to dig out from under. Without the proper
attitude, most of us will not dare to take that massive
action. We need to see just the tiniest bit of progress,
and then the light at the end of the tunnel becomes so
much clearer.

That’s why I have them get, read, apply and start selling
“20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online” first. That ebook
shares 20 simple ways that very ordinary people earn a
full-time living online. It illuminates the path. At
the same time, as you implement one of those methods,
writing a review and making dozens of quick sales causes
that rapid, massive mood change that we often need.

When you sell copies of “20 Ways” the payments are made
directly to your Paypal account. Seeing immediate cash flow
will shift almost anyone’s mood

We’ll continue this discussion in another article since
this one is getting long. I hope that this article shows
you that it is possible to pull out of debt, even in a
recession. There are dozens of proven roadmaps already
waiting for you. All you really need to do though is print
this one out and get started.

It is possible to turn thing around VERY quickly. That just
requires not over-analyzing things, and instead getting in
motion!

“Willie Crawford Teaches Real Internet Marketing,” an
internet-based radio show. Listen to live shows and download
archived MP3′s of past shows where guest share very detailed
how-to information at: http://BlogTalkRadio.com/WillieCrawford/

Over the past 11 1/2 years, I’ve created dozens of
information products, and sold hundreds of affiliate
products. I’ve discovered what does and what doesn’t work
in quickly creating AND marketing information products.

I’ve also shared with dozens of clients, and thousands of
subscribers, my very successful methods for earning a
living online. When I say shared, I’m referring to those
who were willing to listen and apply what I taught them.
Those who listened, but didn’t do, aren’t counted in that
number because to me “sharing” is a two-way
communication.

Today, I’d like to share with you exactly what I’ve
instructed dozens of people to do when they’ve came to me
with cash-flow emergencies. These were people who usually
came to me looking for a loan or a hand-out. Instead, I
usually had them do what I’m about to share with you.

I’ve learned over the year that giving handouts too quickly
only conditions the person to come back a few weeks later
for another handout. I believe that it’s important to teach
them a proven method for extricating themselves from such
situations.

Here’s the exact plan that I’ve directed many people to
follow:

1) Look around you, and identify two large, related
problems that you could create two information product as
solutions to. These need to be painful enough problems that
people are acutely aware of, that they desperately want to
solve , and that they’ll pay for good solutions to.

You generally want related problems because the plan
calls for selling both solutions to the SAME people. You’re
going to sell the first solution through affiliates, giving
them the majority of the money, and then you’re going to
keep at least half of the money on the second (backend)
product.

You’re going to set up you sales process so that you “lead”
with one product and then offer the second product as an
upsell, or special offer after the first purchase is made.

The reason that you’re going to pay your affiliates so much
is that you need them NOW. Without their enthusiastic
promotion of your products, this plan often CAN’T work very
quickly.

The most CRITICAL part of this whole plan is step 1, and
the most CRITICAL part of step 1 is making sure that you
identify a real problem that people actually want to solve.
Otherwise, you end up creating products that no one will
buy.

When I look at why products fail, the number one reason (in
my opinion) is that demand wasn’t verified beforehand).

Teaching you how to do the research is beyond the scope of this
short article, but it only needs to take an hour or two. It IS
too
important to skip. An excellent guide to conducting painless
research is Steve Wagenheim’s “Niche Research Revolution.”

If you need help with the research, it’s at:
http://TheRealSecrets.com/SteveWagenheim/

2) Create the solution (product), or better yet, modify and
improve on an existing solution.

If you are good at researching, or already an expert on a topic,
then by all means write an ebook on it, or create a piece of
software that solves a big problem. At the same time, in many
niches you are surrounded by thousands of experts who have
already done the majority of the work for you. They’ve already
created the product and will often sell (or even GIVE) you
the rights to it. Then all you need to do is refine and
improve on these product that you have “Private Label Rights”
to.

Just go to any search engine, and do a search on your keywords
plus the term “private label right” or “PLR,” and you’ll locate
dozens of sources. Alternatively, just visit my blog, and
you’ll often discover dozens of people giving away private label
rights for various reasons. That blog is at:
http://WillieCrawford.com/blog/

Simply sit down and refine those PLR products (where someone
has already done 90% of the work) into something truly
valuable.

3) Get a few people to critique your product, offering
you feedback that both allows you to improve your solution
and that perhaps you can use as testimonials. After your
product is created, simply post on a discussion forum (after
confirming that it’s permissible) that you are looking for
product reviewers. You’ll get dozens of volunteers.

If you don’t get dozens of volunteers, I would take that as
an indication that you haven’t really found a painful enough
problem… at least not one that that particular community
cares about.

Do one product all the way through until it’s ready to launch
and then do the other one. For many people, doing them
simultaneously is too confusing.

4) Set these products up for sale with their own affiliate
program. Use a system such as Rapid Action Profits that
allows you to pay instant commissions. The instant
commissions are “key” because instant cashflow is as
important to many of your potential affiliates as it is to you.
You’ll recruit lot of affiliates who are promoting your products
almost on impulse.

That’s great!

You want people who will promote your product today rather
than a week or two from now.

I recommend Rapid Action Profits as the affiliate program
platform because it’s inexpensive, easy to set up, and you can
use it on as many different websites (with as many different
products as you want) after purchasing the software just once.
I use it on over a dozen websites. You can get RAP here:
http://TheRealSecrets.com/RapidActionProfits/

Rapid Action Profits is designed to work with Paypal, meaning
that you don’t need a merchant account, and that anyone with a
Paypal account can become one of your affiliates.

5) Recruit affiliates by posting to forums that have a “joint
ventures” section. Post to communities set up to facilitate
your recruiting affiliates such as JV Alert and The
International Association of Joint Venture Brokers.

Announce to your email list that you are looking for affiliates.

Private Message (PM) or email ideal affiliates that you’ve
noticed promoting similar products, and ask them directly to
promote yours. Be very clear in these communications or you’re
likely to get declined or to not get firm commitments to promote
your products.

6) Turn customers into affiliates. Email customers who have
purchased your previous products thanking them, and pointing
out your new product(s). Explain why it’s a match for them and
rather than focusing on making a sale, make your focus
recruiting them as an affiliate (if appropriate).

Set up your autoresponder system so that any time anyone
purchases your product they are automatically invited to
become an affiliate. Consider adding a blurb right on your
download page that invites them to join your affiliate
program.

Your best potential affiliate ARE those who know and like
your product, so it makes perfect sense to recruit customers
as affiliates.

7) Use article marketing to generate interest and find
customers. Write a 500 – 1000 word article that:

a) Describes the problem that your product solves.

b) Explains why this really IS a problem that they DO want to
resolve.

c) Proves why your product is the perfect solution.

Submit these articles to every appropriate article directory
that you can locate as well as post them on your blogs, your
sites, and on discussion forums that have article sections. If
you can afford it, use an article submission service such as
http://EasyPushButtonTraffic.info This will save you
considerable time and quickly get your articles in 100 times as
many places.

Leave “the land of excuses” and just do it! Make the
decision that you’re going to implement this plan, and then
instead of looking for reasons why you can’t implement it, look
at the very real reasons why you MUST implement this plan.

Acknowledge that the key to the success of your plan is taking
massive, immediate action, and refusing to EVER give up.

9) Update, test and track your sales process. As your articles,
affiliates, and emails drive traffic through your site, evaluate
how well your sales letters are converting. The ability to
split-test, and determine the exact conversion rates for your
sales letters is built right into Rapid Action Profits. Test
four or five different versions of the sales letter changing
only minor things on each one, such as the main headline or
the number of testimonials.

When you discover one sales letter that works better than
others, keep the one that is working, but then create a
slightly different version of the winner to test against your
new “control.”

10) Rinse and repeat. Once the sales start coming in, and you
see that this formula does indeed work, use the same system
to roll out other products. You are now building an army of
active, happy affiliates. Offer them other, equally-lucrative
products to promote.

Don’t allow the momentum to stop once you get it going – that’s
incredibly wasteful.

11) IMPORTANT: Slow down enough to act rationally rather than
in desperation. I put this step at the bottom because I want it
at the top of your mind as you get started.

As you implement this simple, proven plan, make sure that you
take a deep breath and don’t act out of desperation. People who
feel like that “HAVE” to get results today, often make very bad
decisions. Slow down enough to make sure that you’re actually
doing each of the preceding 10 steps, and in particular make
sure that you really confirmed that what you’re offering the
market is something that they want.

I’ve watched dozens of people use this exact method when they
suddenly found themselves needing to make a house payment, pay
a medical bill, or catch up with mortgage payments… and their
bank balance was “less than zero.”

This system does work. If you really examine it, there’s nothing
magical or mysterious about it. It’s just common sense, and
taking massive action. Now it’s time for you to apply both
