This might well be one of the easiest, most profitable campaigns you’ll ever run. It’s worked for years for other people, and can work for you, too.
Rumor has it this campaign (or some incarnation if it) originated from Frank Kern over a decade ago. We’ve used it recently, and we’ll keep using it every month or two because it’s simple and it flat out works at making sales.
The basic concept is this: Your leads get one email per day for four days. The emails tell them about a huge 50% discount they will receive if they purchase before the deadline in four days.
And if ... read more

The number in the title is deceptive because if you put any real effort into this, you can easily double it.
But let’s assume you’re just doing this part time on a limited basis.
First, find an expensive coaching program that you want to take yourself. You’re looking for group coaching that costs about $3,000 to $10,000.
Next, sign up for the coaching. These high-end coaching programs are generally sold over the phone, so just be polite and continue to plead poverty until they greatly reduce the price. You might be surprised how fast a $5,000 program can be reduced to $1,000 or less.
Alternative: If you have a marketing track record, ... read more

This might freak new marketers out. “It’s too easy!” “This can’t be ethical.” “I don’t feel right doing this.”
What they’re really saying is they’re scared.
It’s nice to have that, “One day I’ll start a membership and get loads of subscribers and make a fortune” mentality.
It’s safe. Comfortable. Easy. Because someday never comes, does it?
But if you ‘re going to start your continuity program by MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, then that is truly scary.
“What??! I’m not ready!”
But you can get ready, and you can do it in a day. First, you need a good idea for your continuity program. Something like...

• How to build a six-figure ... read more

What happens at the end of a show like Breaking Bad? Something BIG happens, that’s what. Something that makes us go, “Holy smokes, I wonder what happens next??!”
And we are hooked. We can’t wait to see the next episode. If we’re watching TV, we wait an entire week to see what happens. If we’re binge watching on Netflix, we immediately start watching the next episode, even if it’s 1:00 in the morning and we need to go to work in a few hours.
How do they hook us like that?
With something called an open loop. We humans like our stories to be neat and tidy. There’s a ... read more

If I get one more offer in my inbox telling me how to free traffic I’ll... well, I guess I’ll do what I’ve been doing – delete it.
First of all, there is no free traffic. Sorry. If it takes you TIME, then it’s not free.
Second, a lack of traffic isn’t the problem for 99% of marketers. Nope. Traffic can be bought in a heartbeat.
Get out the credit card and buy solo ads and AdWords and Facebook ads and so forth until your card melts and you’ll be rich, right?
Then why aren’t you doing it?
Because having a ton of traffic means nothing if the traffic isn’t converting.
If focusing ... read more

When autumn hits we get to look forward to Halloween, Christmas and other fun holidays when we get to spend money and just plain have fun.
But there is another kind of fun you could be having with holidays, and that’s MAKING money with them.
Quick example: I know a bloke who earns $10,000 in about two week’s time every Halloween. He’s got a fairly simple site that doesn’t need much updating, but every October he gets a sudden influx of traffic and lots of Adsense cash and Amazon commissions.
Then his site pretty much just sits idle for the next 11 months or so, until he gets another rush.
Are you ... read more

The Good, The Bad And The Super Profitable
Believe it or not, in online marketing the pros (and we’re defining “pro” as six figures of annual income) use PLR all the time. They just don’t advertise it. (Would you?)
Private Label Rights (PLR) is content you can use as you own. You can use it just as it is or modify it. And you get to claim authorship – hence, the name ‘private’ label rights.
You’re already familiar with the “bad,” and that refers to the quality of some PLR. Obviously, it pays to buy well researched, well written PLR products. If you have to completely re-write the
content, then you might as well ... read more

You hold a webinar to sell your big ticket item and...
...No one shows up.
It’s every webinar host’s nightmare.
Webinars can be hugely lucrative, IF you get people onto the call. And not just any people, either. You want hot prospects who are eager to hear what you have to say and buy the product you promote at the end.
But let’s face it – while webinars were an easy ticket to sales a decade ago, now people are burnt out on them.
“Another webinar? Yawn.”
Here’s how to get people to not only show up to your webinar, but look forward to it like a kid at Christmas, ... read more

...that you can’t achieve in a year.
What happens when you give yourself a goal to do something in the next year?
You procrastinate. “A year? Heck, I think I’ll take a vacation first. I can work on that tomorrow – next week – next month.”
You put it off. And put it off. And a year later... you are still exactly where you are right now, today.
But if you only give yourself 90 days, you’ve got to take action NOW. Not tomorrow. Not later today. But right now.
5 year plans? Work for almost no one. Things change during a year’s time – what about during 5 years?
Everything can change.
People function in 90 day chunks. You ... read more

...even if you’re the world’s worst procrastinator.
I’ve used this technique to create all sorts of things, from a free bonus I put together and gave away for an affiliate product, all the way up to $1,000 training programs.
Creating content and products is a huge obstacle for most marketers because it takes so much time and effort.
But what if you had a way to create products – such as expensive training programs – that you could finish in a week?
And better still, what if you got paid for them before they were even done?
The first key is you need is a big, fat, public DEADLINE.
If your deadline is public, then you will move heaven and earth to ... read more

Sorry for using that word, but it’s true...
C.R.A.P. - a design principle coined by the graphic artist Robin Williams - stands for Contrast, Repetition, Alignment and Proximity.
You know a good or bad design when you see one. But... how do you know why it’s bad or good?
And more to the point, how can you create webpage designs, product cover designs, banner designs and so forth that are so visually appealing, they pull the reader into your message?
By knowing and using C.R.A.P., you can consistently create effective design that increases conversions instead of chasing people away. That’s because the four design principles – when used together – ... read more

Just a side note: What you’re about to discover here can also be used to help others squeeze more profits out of their online businesses, as well. In fact, you could build an entire business out of making
other people’s businesses more profit using these simple methods.
Before you create new products and new profit streams, it makes good sense to maximize the earnings in your existing business.
To show you how this might be done, I’m going to use a membership site as an example. I love memberships because of the continuity of payments you receive. After all, why get paid just once on
a sale ... read more

If you're not repurposing your content, you're losing traffic.
Repurposing is a technique to change either the format of your content or change its target audience.
For example, you might convert a blogpost into a video and publish it on YouTube. Or you might turn that blogpost into a series of emails, a podcast or even an infographic.
A blogpost on your website will only attract people who are interested in reading content. But when you repurpose it, you reach a new target audience on different channels.
Imagine converting your blogpost into a Slideshare presentation, and then getting 50,000 views. It's entirely possible to do this. And further imagine that at ... read more

But if you can’t answer these questions – if you’re just ‘winging it’ – then you’re going to struggle and likely fail at online marketing. Certainly, you will never be as successful as you could be if you did
answer these questions.
(If I don’t have your interest now, you’re not paying attention...) Here are the questions you must answer when going into ANY new market:
1: Where is your target customer right now in their life?
For example, what pain are they feeling or what problem do they need solving?
Let’s say your market is weight loss. Your target customer might be Rachael, a 35 year old married woman with ... read more
