Not wanting to give him any publicity, he (or someone else) is spamming his product launch of Google n*em-es*is.net (URL obsfuscated).

His sign up form goes to another of his sites which may mean he can’t get an autoresponder service to take him. When you sign up, you get an email from Bob Smith, so it doesn’t seem he wants people to know his real name. But if you do a WHOIS at GoDaddy you can see it for yourself.

It gets sillier as because his domain is hosted with GoDaddy, who are rumoured to suspend domains on a single complaint of spam, it could mean that domain will be closed down if someone actually *does* go and complain to GoDaddy (hopefully his web site isn’t hosted with them too, for his sake).

I’m not going to do that as I’m not that kind of a person. In fact I’m not going to complain at all other than this blog post.

Everybody should get a chance to fix their mistakes and apologise.

The moral of this story?

DON’T SPAM.

-Frank Haywood

It’s particularly ironic that on his sign up form it says:-
“We hate spam as much as you do.”

It’s called “Make Your Words Sell” by Joe Robson.  You can see a photo of me with Joe in the gallery.  What’s more, there’s another ebook called “Make Your Content Pre-Sell”  which I’ve just downloaded myself.

I don’t want it to appear daunting, but that’s a total of 390 pages on copywriting.

For free.

Go grab yourself a copy now…

I had a small amount of criticism.

A lot of people bought it.

I’ve been downloading more of the material today (I’m up to 2.8GB at the moment) from the 365 PLR (Private Label Rights) items, and I’ve been spending a little time browsing through it.

I have so many product ideas now, I don’t think I’ll ever have to engage my brain again on that front.

This is a GOLDMINE. And I know even as I write that, some will say “no it isn’t, it’s trash”.

I completely disagree.

Purely from an ideas point of view, it’s worth the piffling $27 I paid for it.

And the bulk of this material is Private Label Rights. That means that within reason, I can do what I want with it. So I can take the autoresponder package that’s in there, rework it and sell it as my own.

Or I can take one of the many marketing ebooks, use it as a base point, and write my own. Many successful marketers have done just that.

Here’s an idea for you.

Search through the material until you find something you know about and it’s a subject matter that you know your target market will be interested in. Read what’s been written, validate the material to check to see if it’s relevant and write your own version, correcting any inaccuracies and bringing it up to date.

While you’re doing that get an ebook cover made, or do it yourself if you know how.

Next, set up a squeeze page - that’s a page that requires a name and email address. The deal is, if people enter their name and email address and agree to receive emails from you, you’ll give them a copy of your new ebook.

Finally, start moving traffic to that page and watch your list grow. If you don’t know how to get traffic, here’s a few realistic ideas.

o Join a free traffic exchange.
o Create a blog with no adverts on it other than your free ebook, and then start making relevant comments on similar blogs. Make a post on your blog on your target topic every day for 30 days, then 3 times a week thereafter.
o Buy a solo ad in a relevant ezine. Around $60 should buy you a mailing out with your offer to about 20,000 opted-in email addresses.
o Sign up to a giveaway and give your ebook away in return for a sign up.

Okay there are lots more ways to get traffic, and I’ll cover them in another post if you want me to.

Here’s the cruncher.

You have next to NO competition.

Only 1 person in 100 will do anything about this. Of those, only 1 in 100 will get as far as re-writing an ebook. Of those, only 1 in 100 will use a traffic method to start building their list.

That’s ONE person in a MILLION will actually start building their list.

Somewhere along the way, the rest will drop by the wayside.

Don’t overestimate your competition. Don’t think they’re better than you.

The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for you to succeed where they will fail. And the bigger your goal, the fewer people will pursue it, making it even easier for you to achieve. There’s less competition for the bigger goals.

If you’re an eternal Newbie, now’s a good time to shake off that N-word and become a player. Not tomorrow, today. Now.

If you haven’t already bought this bundle, then go and get it now, and do as I’ve suggested. Don’t let anything distract you. Break the task down into smaller goals if you need to, and reward yourself for each achievement.

In a week or less, you could be building a mailing list just by taking a little bit of action each day for the next few days.

Don’t wait until the time is right, because it never will be.

Just start now, and pick up the pieces as you go. That’s one of the defining characteristics of successful people.

Ignore the people who try to tell you there’s only one right way to do things because there aren’t, there’s as many as you can imagine. But NOTHING happens until you take action:-

So how can you get people to your website?

Well, when you start looking into this question you’ll see that there are dozens of techniques, but mastering all of them will send your head spinning.

Let me talk to you about one technique which will not only bring you traffic, but it will also make you some money into the bargain.  It’s called…  Selling PLR.

Huh?

Sell some PLR material. You’ll make some money and you’ll get some traffic, too. This technique works with unrestricted PLR material, so make sure you have completely unrestricted rights before trying this.

Ok, let me put some flesh on the bones here because there’s more to it than just selling a bit of PLR. What you have to do is take note of a basic human habit. The habit is of doing as little as possible. It’s human nature the world over and it’s key to this traffic generation tactic.

You know that many people are basically lazy and don’t go out of their way to look for extra work. And you probably also know that PLR material is popular because it removes a lot of the effort required to get a product up and running. So you combine those two things with your own self-promotion.

In every PLR product you sell put a list of resources somewhere in each element of the package. In the readme.txt for articles, or the appendix of an ebook, for example. In the list of resources make sure you have valuable and useful links, such as for Winzip, or WinRAR, Adobe Acrobat Reader and so on. And then intersperse links for your own products, sites, or services.  Don’t hype them up too much. Just put them in as part of the recommended resources.

By doing it that way you give more credibility to your own sites because they’re not shown as blatant plugs with a mini sales page. They’re shown as what they are, valuable resources.

For anyone with a bit of graphic ability you can go even further. You can edit the graphics you have in the PLR material to put a discreet mention of your url in the footer graphic of ready made websites, for example.

I can tell you right now that of the people who take any action with the PLR material you sell, the vast majority won’t take the time to go through it, edit it all, change the graphics, re-word articles and so on.

In fact many of them won’t even put their own name on any sales pages!

They’re far more likely to put it up as it is, or sell it on to others.  That means that everyone who buys your PLR material is actively promoting you and your sites.

If they sell the material on to someone else, the whole cycle begins again.

You won’t get huge percentages of people turning into customers that way, but you will have a growing network of referral points that will build steadily over time for you. And if you choose something fairly timeless you could be seeing benefits for years to come.

The best part is that you make some money doing it.

Here’s a rough guide for how useful this is for you. Of every 100 people who read this post, maybe (just maybe) 1 or 2 will take some action on it.  They will reap the benefits of the technique.

The other 99 out of every 100 will be the group that ends up doing the promoting for savvy marketers. And they’ll be paying those savvy marketers to do so.

One thing you should absolutely do is provide good value on the sites you promote this way. If you include worthless sites in the resources section you’ll find your credibility drops every time a new person sees them.

You only benefit if you genuinely offer something worth having so don’t be tempted to promote sites with no value to them.

Next time you get hold of an unrestricted PLR package, be one of the .5% that will actually do anything with it and add some suitable links of your own, before reselling rights to it.

And if you really want to turn it up a notch, why not include a list of places where your customers can sell it on easily?

Make it simple for everyone, beginners included, to make some money with your PLR package. They’ll be back for more before you know it and you’ll be getting your sites and services in front of new potential customers.

I know this has happened to you too because it happens to everybody.

The answer is to take a deep breath and prioritise.  Even that’s not always possible, and sometimes lots of things come to a head all at the same time.  Like this last few days.

So…

#1 - It looks like SmartDD v3 (SDD) is just about ready to be unleashed onto the world.  There’s just the massive task of documentation and re-doing the site.  Oh okay, we have several installers to build too, the free version, the full version, and an upgrade version.

#2 - I’ve just received the latest version of the Instant Survey Script (ISS) - yeah I’ve kept that one fairly quiet, but it rocks.  Easy to install and use, and something everyone with an internet business should have.  It has a couple of nice features in it that lift it above similar scripts and services.  And of course it will be a fraction of the price, especially to you my lovely readers. 

I have to install that tonight and give it a whirl.

#3 - I have a new version of AdSpurt (AS) to install with a very nice new feature in that I think is completely unique, but I have been completely wrong before, so we’ll see.  Both David and Paul have worked on this one, and Paul is now looking to see if he can sort out a memory problem on some servers.

When we have that licked we’ll be ready to go.  Again, I’ll install it later today to check it out, then build a new licenced version and send it out to the people who have a test copy.

I won’t be releasing AdSpurt in a nickel sale as I think it’s a little bit special, but I will be doing a discounted pre-launch price, probably $47, but don’t hold me to that.

#4 I have JV Manager 1 installed on my server, but I’m having real problems working out how it works.  I reckon I’m 95% of the way there, and I think it’s just terminology that’s confused me.

If you’re an expert on JV Manager 1 and want to set up a couple of dummy products / sites for me so I can see how it’s done, you can have everything I release for the next 12 months.

And I have some great scripts coming for your internet business…

Project APE.
Site Flow Manager.
CMS Anywhere.

Plus a host of smaller items in between.

So if this appeals to you and you really know what you’re doing with JV Manager, raise a support ticket at:-

http://www.vendiva.com/support/

addressed to me.  If you have some example sites you’ve put together yourself that I can see just to put my mind at ease, then please include those too. 

#5 I have a new JV Manager.  She’s agreed to work for me, and I know she’s a real go-getter, and if anyone can pull in lots of new JV partners, she can.  With a background in sales, I’ve already seen her ability to get people to agree, and that’s one of her real strengths.

We’ll eventually turn her efforts into a product and we’ll be sharing all the little tips and wrinkles she uses to make the sales.  What could be better than an inside look at how to find and convert potential JV partners?

-Frank Haywood

Lesson for me: Stick with my own sales copy.

When it’s over I’ll be selling the bundle for $47 with a substantially re-designed sales page of my own, and I’ll likely give away my own personal versions of the reports edited to my own style as a bonus for one or more of my other products. Master resale rights PDFs only of course, not PLR.

Lesson for you: Re-use material wherever possible.

Here’s a strange thing. I had two people unsubscribe from my blog notify list and write to me complaining about this sale, but not about what you might expect - it certainly took me by surprise.

The gist of the complaints were that they weren’t impressed that I was selling unrestricted PLR to these reports at such a low price. And that I was giving PLR a bad name.

Well, that’s the point of a 24 hour sale for your subscribers isn’t it? Sell it so cheaply that it’s almost being given away, then afterwards, sell it at a price that reflects its true worth. People like you for it (usually), and will remain subscribers (usually).

PLR material is very valuable if used in the right way, many people just don’t know how to use it though. I guess that’s why those people are complaining about the low price - they know its true worth and feel that I’ve devalued it. Not so. All I’ve done is share something at a low price now that will hopefully bring me in more traffic as the people that use it build their lists and promote my products.

You build your internet business and hopefully I’ll get to build mine too.

Yes I DO know the true value of PLR - I’m a member of 2 monthly PLR sites, and glad of it!

Anyway, last chance at this price. Today at 3.00pm, the sale ends and the price on the bundle of PLR reports goes up to $47.00.

The sale now includes TWO unadvertised bonuses which I’ll send an email out to all buyers in a few days .

-Frank Haywood

Those that want it will have grabbed it by that time.

Actually saying it’s a nickel sale is wrong.  The price is going up by 10 cents with each purchase, so really it’s a dime sale.  The Nickel Script will allow you to set any price increase per sale.

The sale is for a set of new NO RESTRICTIONS PLR (Private Label Rights) reports, all in the Internet Marketing niche.

The NO RESTRICTIONS bit is very important.  Most PLR sales come with restrictions of some kind or another, such as “you can’t sell it on auction sites” or “you must charge a minimum of $17″.

With all of these reports you can do anything you like with them.

My suggestion is you edit them to your own style (you don’t need to do this, but it’s a nice touch), and then use them on giveaway sites to list build with.  Or maybe use them with a traffic exchange, again to list build.  Or even use the 7 Dollar Method of list building.

Or of course, you can sell them in a nickel sale using the Nickel Script.

I want you to build your own list, so that you’ll be able to promote my products, make more money from doing so, and in the final outcome we both win.

I already mentioned it yesterday, but for those that buy, I’ll throw in an extra freebie for you in a few days time in the form of a Windows program that will generate affiliate tools pages for you.

I’ll be using it myself to build pages for all my own products.

If you don’t want to miss out on this, and you want to get it at the lowest price, come back here at 3.00pm GMT (10.00am EST) to get the link for the sale page.

-Frank Haywood

The sale is for a set of new NO RESTRICTIONS PLR (Private Label Rights) products, all ebooks, all in the Internet Marketing niche.

By no restrictions, I really do mean no restrictions.  Usually with PLR there’s some sort of a restriction on what you can do with the product, for example it might be that you can’t give the product away, or charge less than $47 for it.

With all of these you can do what you like with the products.  I was very tempted to keep my mouth shut, and just put my name on all of them and then use them on giveaway sites to list build with.  Or maybe use them with a traffic exchange to list build.  There are lots of options.

Then I had a better idea.

I decided to let you do it instead.  The way I look at it, if you build your own list, you’ll be in a position to promote my products, make money from doing so, and we both win.

So it makes good business sense for me to pass these onto you and enable you to build your own internet business.

However, this nickel sale will be a little unusual in that I’m only running it for 24 hours, and I’m only selling 100 copies.

So whichever comes first, the sale will be closed.  For those that buy, I’ll throw in an extra freebie for you in a few days time - an affiliate tools page generator which I’m intending to release in another nickel sale next week.

A well known marketer released one of these tools a few weeks ago and I believe he’s charging $67 for it.  You know me, I won’t charge you anywhere near that anyway.  But if you grab this offer you’ll be getting two good deals for the price of one.

Watch this space.

I need 2 or 3 people that have a network of sites or self-hosted blogs which they’re monetising using AdSense.

What I need you to do is install AdSpurt on a site or two, create a few contextual ads, and see how using that method stacks up against AdSense.  You can either run AdSpurt ads as well as AdSense, or turn off AdSense and just run your own AdSpurt ads.

If you’re interested in doing this, then raise a support ticket at:-

http://www.vendiva.com/support/

under department AdSpurt, with details of the site(s) you intend to install AdSpurt on.

Ideally you would already know of products with affiliate programs that you could promote via AdSpurt on your site, via ClickBank or otherwise.  AdSpurt can be used with any affiliate program and also has a built in ClickBank search functionality to make it easy for you to generate ClickBank ads.

We know there are a few changes needed to be made, but any feedback you can give on usage, potential tweaks or amendments would be great.
