    You'll Ignore Conventional Marketers – Once You 

    You'll Ignore Conventional Marketers – Once You See These Ugly Facts

    Because i will quickly show you the lies behind the advice they dish out – and why it's doing damage to online business and income freedom –

    If this doesn't disturb you, I don't know what will…

    So you've chosen a product. And you want to sell it.

    Send traffic to their squeeze page, publishers say, and Earn — Value. Positioning. Personal branding. Altering perception. All techniques that fill all sales promotions.

    Nonsense!

    People don't buy because of exaggerations or even truth. They do not buy because of a comprehensive benefits list. And they certainly do not buy because your bullets are riddled with

    curious, fictional, hype.

    Hey, i've tried it all.

    I've sent traffic to lame-o squeeze pages…sexy pages, even. Pages that are supposed to convert at untold 40%+ rates. I've promoted products whose publishers claimed you can have a sale within 5 clicks.

    Sorry to tell you…they are lying. Try to reproduce their results for yourself.

    The only truth is…They need us to pay for, and send, as much traffic as possible… to make up for their incompetence at converting even hyper-buyers into customers, at our expense.

    One popular system, i promoted for, took $15,000 in ad spending from my pocket. And of the thousands of leads i sent them, they converted just 5 into customers. Three refunded within the month.

    On the other hand, those same leads bought a $2,000 package from me that i passively offered on my website.

    It's preposterous! Their offer cost $7,500 per customer. A CHILD could have got more customers from a pool of thousands who indicated initial interest…to buy their $1 trial.

    Know what's sad?

    They actually have 4,000+ misguided affiliates – who pay $60/month to use their pathetic system. Cycled and kept around with hype and the occasional fluke testimonial.

    So, what?…

    Should you create your own marketing and ignore their systems?

    No. It's not enough. Even if you create your own landing pages, follow-up, and sales letters, you still can't get people

    to buy.

    The advice you've been given by these self-appointed experts is wrong.

    People don't buy because of the benefits and word-smithing.

    Benefits are merely supporting evidence customers can use to justify their purchase to themselves.

    The REAL reason they buy is because of how you make them FEEL.

    So should you go out and write 'feel-good' copy. Make loose interpretations of the truth? Juggle your numbers, just like the gooroo's do, so that you can claim results people will perceive to be profound? Give them false hopes? Tell them your product will do what it cannot?

    Errmm…again, no!

    Please give me a minute to tell you a little story…

    The other day i was driving through the streets of Jordan, and it occurred to me that drivers seemed to honk their car-horns a lot less than they did 15 years ago when i visited on holiday from Oman.

    I mean, if i remember correctly, drivers just honked for kicks. Every few seconds, they'd hit the horn to remind themselves they were driving.

    Now-a-days, it seemed they only honk when someone is in the way.

    But is this true?

    Not really…It's just that when i was a kid, i came from a different environment. Where people were polite and rarely honked at each other.

    But since then, i've spent enough time in jordan that i forgot. I forgot polite driving environments. Honking drivers became NORM for me.

    Another example…

    Years

    ago, i would visit my grandparents' home in Jordan on holiday. And i noticed that the house was much smaller than i remembered it.

    I had been raised by my grandparents, in that same home, when i was only four years old.

    Had the house SHRUNK?

    Probably not. But III grew.

    And in my memory, the house was a lot bigger when i was small.

    Memory is like that. The truth doesn't change, but our perspective of it does.

    Our minds LIE to us, making us feel a way that fits our world view. WE believe only in our current world view…but it's funny because that is constantly updating with every experience, and we don't realise it.

    So to make sales regularly and effortlessly, we only need to alter people's memory…by giving them an experience every day. They'll only remember how they felt when they were pitched our products.

    For customers, purchasing, is an experience. From the moment they land on our website the first time, until the moment they purchase and use our products.

    We must take them on a guided adventure. A roller-coaster of emotions.

    Do that, and people will buy from you without question.

    The prospective customer's emotions will create a fiction of its own in their mind. Unaided. We do not need to lie or exaggerate to sell. We only need to give an experience no body else has given them before — and stick to the truth while doing it.

    Hi Friend,

    People tend to read your ads and sales letters in 2 different ways

    1. Word For Word 2. Skim through it and see if anything catches their eye

    Which is the exact reason why you should incorporate at least 2 sub-headlines per page.

    You see, many people will skim through your ad or sales

    letter because they may be short on time. But if something catches their eye, it will hook them back into your pitch.

    So how do you generate sub-headlines?

    Can you remember my suggestion in an earlier issue to write 30-50 headlines? Well, of course as a result of this, you can only choose 1 headline.

    However, you'll find you have created a bundle of other ones you can use as sub-headlines.

    Nothing will help you understand this like an example. So let me give you one:

    Recently, I created a sales letter for one of my clients.

    Here's the opening line (before the headline): Discover the fortune

    that lies hidden in your salary…

    Here's the headline: 'Here's A Quick And Easy Way To Get Started On YOUR Road To Real Estate Riches…'

    And here are some of the sub-headlines:

    This is one of those situations where a picture really

    does say 1000 words. Obviously this is probably biased to western liberal democracies, or at least places where

    men have access to internet and or magazine pornography.

    I wonder if there are a group of men who legitimately

    really never do look at pornography, and if there is a common thread among them.

    'Off With Their Heads' 

    'Off With Their Heads'

    That's what the media has been saying about the more experienced guys in the Australian cricket team…

    Clarke… Ponting… Hussey…

    Not anymore.

    I was at the chemist yesterday getting these little vitamin organisers (I am going through an 'organisation' stage in my life ;-) when I looked at the TV and saw Clarke was on 300+ and Hussey was on 100+…

    Then found out later when I looked at the paper that Ponting made 100+ as well.

    The point of

    this email is not to talk about cricket (although I love the game ;-) it's to talk about the importance of belief…

    Even if everyone else doubts you.

    I am listening to an Eminem song as I am writing this and he's talking about the days when he was 'booed of stage' – now he's a huge celebrity.

    So

    let me ask you…

    Who's doubting you right now?

    Let me also ask you…

    Who cares?

    Plenty of people doubted these guys…

    They answered these doubters with actions… with results.

    The best way I know to get great results is to model something which is already working.

    I don't think GOP voters writ-large are 

    I don't think GOP voters writ-large are monolithic. Some of them are going to show up and

    dutifully check off the box with an R next to it on the ballot. Some of them are going to consider the issues and then decide that, on the balance of the evidence, Obama is a Kenyan Muslim communist

    terrorist, and check off the box with an R next to it. But some of them don't really care about politics, although they have friends that do and of course they'd never vote for a

    socialist. Those people might stay at home watching TV instead of vote if they can't be made to care about the other guy because what, politics is all fixed anyway.

    this is going to sound perhaps weird, but since I talk to my old racist grandparents I

    know it to be true:

    my Step Dad's Mom and Dad and my Mom's Mom and Dad simply cannot abide a black man as president, so they will vote for anyone not black. Herman

    Cain was my real breaker strategy here. And pizza.

    I at one point over raw yams with my Grandpa, had to remind him that I wasn't particulaly racist and I don't dislike

    Blacks or Indians in general. He said, 'yeah I know', but then kept telling me about why he has grown to be a racist over his 80 odd years.

    A friend of mine who's been doing 

    A friend of mine who's been doing online marketing for 2 years recently told me

    'I have no brand! Can you help?'

    What!?

    2 years with no brand? That's a giant error.

    Many supposed 'online entrepreneurs'

    give themselves credit for something they are not. Marketers? Maybe. But entrepreneurs? No.

    Every few weeks, they up and leave the last website they built and start a brand new one.

    Their justifications are endless -

    - Now, they're promoting a new product.

    - Now, they've signed up to a new affiliate program.

    - Now they want to get better search engine placement with a new domain.

    No matter the reason, having numerous websites and domains is NEVER a

    good BUSINESS strategy.

    Business requires a brand–which simply means, REPUTATION.

    How can you gain a reputation when a customer who finds you today can't find you again tomorrow?

    If you want ongoing traffic, word-of-mouth referrals, and an ever-growing customer base, you must first establish a brand. Then you determine who its audience is and create a long-term strategy to systematically solve the problems of that audience in a unique way, and finally,

    you must…

    …STICK TO IT!

    Now, when you have a new product to sell, find a way to frame it to fit your brand–instead of changing your business to fit the new product.

    Know what's hardest about getting ongoing traffic?

    Choosing a name for your brand is easy. Figuring out a target audience is simple. But coming up with a strategy to solve that audience's problem in a UNIQUE way is the ONE thing you can't do on your own.

    So last night, I took my wife to visit relatives.

    We decided to pick up a cake from a famous dessert shop here in Amman. There were many delicious options to choose from all safely kept

    behind large glass cases.

    But I did not end up buying a cake.

    Know why?

    The cakes had no labels on them.

    No price.

    No description.

    Not even a NAME.

    I had no problem asking one busy staff member about an amazing looking cake with chocolate icing: 'What's in this?'

    'It has fruit and cream,' said the cakeir.

    Ermm…How about this, I continued?

    More

    ingredients were rattled off to me.

    'And how much does this cost?' I inquired. He made no secret of his agitation.

    Finally, I chose a cake at random so I wouldn't ask any more questions. Took the receipt and went to the cashier to pay.

    'Do you take Visa?' I asked.

    'No. Cash only.' The cashier replied shortly.

    Okiedokie then. I walked

    out.

    And just like that, they lost a sale they ALMOST had.

    The lesson…

    When in business, you should be prepared for all kinds of questions (some good and some stupid)…

    But when you're paying for advertising, it would be outright retarded to not anticipate and ANSWER the most important and common questions your customer asks.

    Mutant Blog

    So this is where I was aiming to be. My blog is potentially an autoblog. In fact this very post might be one

    of those posts.

    My issue now is generating quality content. Aside from bothering everyone I know to start writing, I have been looking and posting some jobs on http://www.scriptlance.com which so far seems like exactly what I want.

    I really need

    to plan what sort of pools of content I need and hire those out. At first I am trying to buy it by the word count, 20-40k, and one general topic. I will be the person who chops the content up into particular blogs.

    On the other hand if I meet

    someone who knows what they are doing I can give them single site access to my content manager interface and let them add the content themselves.

    This is the site I am farting around with right now: http://solarman.xokyo.com

    some interesting keyword pitfalls for companies looking to do business online and invest in search marking, from wikipedia

    Branding perceptions

    Many company leaders

    and managers have their own interpretation of how they want their brand to be portrayed and ostensibly perceived online. A luxury second hand car dealer, for example, may only want to include the words 'pre-owned automobiles' on their web site, and not 'used cars'. The fact that thousands of people are searching for

    a used car, and very few are searching for a preowned automobile needs to be communicated.

    Existing brands

    If a company decides to sell Nike trainers online, the market is pretty competitive, and the Nike brand itself is Predominant.

    Overlooking geographic targeting

    Depending on what a company sells or offers, overlooking

    the likelihood of the inclusion of geographical locations in the search query may be highly detrimental. The following are examples of queries with city names included in a search: 'homes for rent Edmonton', 'used car dealer New York', 'Chicago hotels', 'Vancouver Chinese restaurants' etc.

    I should set up some function that not only puts a post into global, but allows certain posts to literally be copied to

    multiple blogs. The reason I want this is so I can put some function in that always updates this site from every piece of content that is added. Not sure this is a critical app, but something to eventually do.

    I spent 10 dollars on some

    internet marketing training, basically on how to get google ranked in a few days. It's really straight forward, and much of the training doesn't interest me, however there are things about the training that has givin me some ideas

    on how to get back links and serious google searchers.

    I also think the techniques are going to be flagged by the companies whose services are being used as spammy once they catch on to how people are using their system.

    Without further ado, here are my top 5 WordPress plugins that you've (probably) never heard of

    1. PopUp Domination A great plugin that will drastically improve the number of leads you collect daily from your blog. I was opposed to using popups on my blogs for a very long time, but this plugin does it in a very nice way that doesn't offend the reader. You can customize everything…and you can even select the pages and posts you want the popup to show on, while excluding other pages. You can also set the number of times you want the popup to display to the

    reader (I personally set it to display only once to each user).

    2. Broken link checker Checks your blog for broken links and missing images and notifies you on the dashboard if any are found. This is great for SEO, because broken links are bad for SEO…and finding them without this plugin is very difficult.

    3. Exclude Pages from Navigation Provides a checkbox on the editing page which you can check to exclude pages from the primary navigation. This is great for organizing the navigation on your site because it lets you display only what you want the reader to see. It also prevents your navigation from getting 'clunky' and 'ugly'.

    4. Robots Meta To put it simply, this plugin helps you tell Google which pages you want them to index and follow. For example, if you create 4 similar landing pages to split test (where only the headlines are different), you don't want Google to index all 4 of them because they will punish you for duplicate content. Using this plugin, you can tell Google to only index one of the landing pages, and ignore the rest.

    5. WordPress.com Stats One of my favorite plugins because

    it gives you a snapshot of the health of your blog. It shows you how much traffic you get daily to your blogs, and displays your most popular blog posts and pages over time. It even shows you which keywords people typed to visit your blog, and how many people did that for each keyword. Very cool, kinda like Google Analytics without leaving your WordPress dashboard.

    Now, here is my list of the essential plugins you must have on your blog:

    * To find and install the plugin, simply search the database here:

    1. Akismet Helps you protect your blog from spam by automatically flagging any suspects.

    2. All in One SEO Pack

    One of my favorite plugins ever. It's the best plugin to optimize your site for SEO. 3. Conditional CAPTHA for WordPress

    This awesome plugin asks a commenter to complete a simple CAPTCHA form if a spam detection plugin (like Akismet) thinks their comment is spam. This has GREATLY reduced comment spam on my blogs.

    3. FD Feedburner Plugin

    Lets you setup an RSS feed on your blog that your readers can subscribe to.

    4. Facebook Like

    This helps users to share your blog posts and pages quickly and easily

    via their Facebook accounts.

    5. Google Analytics for WordPress

    The simplest way to add Google Analytics to your WordPress blog.

    6. TweetMeme Retweet Button

    This helps users to share your blog posts and pages quickly and easily via their Twitter accounts.

    7. WordPress Automatic Upgrade

    This plugin allows you to automatically upgrade your WordPress installation to the latest version with just a few clicks of the mouse (VERY helpful).

    8. WP Super Cache

    This allows very fast caching for your blog posts and pages. If your blog receives tons of traffic, this plugin prevents your site from loading too slowly or crashing. This plugin is especially useful during a product launch, which is usually when you receive a large burst of traffic that your servers are not used to.

    9. Yet Another Related Posts Plugin

    I love this plugin because it makes your readers stay longer on your site by showing them a list of similar/related blog posts. Time on site is one of the factors that determine your SEO rankings, so the longer your visitors stay on your site, the better your site is in Google's eyes.

    The Alchian-Allen Theorem

    From Wikipedia

    The Alchian-Allen Theorem … states that when the prices of two substitute goods, such as high and low grades of the same product, are both increased by a fixed per-unit amount such as a transportation cost or a lump-sum tax, consumption will shift toward the higher-grade

    product. This is true because the added per-unit amount decreases the relative price of the higher-grade product.

    Suppose, for example, that high-grade coffee beans are $3/pound and low-grade beans $1.50/pound. Then high-grade beans cost twice as much as low-grade. But now add on a per-pound international shipping cost of $1. Now the effective prices are $4 and $2.50, so that high-grade beans cost only 1.6 times as much as low-grade. This difference will induce distant coffee-buyers to choose a higher ratio of high-to-low grade beans than local coffee-buyers.

    The key point is that for the low-value product, the shipping

    costs make up a greater proportion of its price – you pay more for the high-value product, but a larger fraction of your money actually goes to the product itself. So what's the application to the information age? Well, every time we buy anything, tell anybody about anything, share something wonderful we found with someone else, there is a transaction cost associated with it. The transaction costs for sharing your ideas with a wide audience used to be enormous, and you would have monks laboring to produce illuminated manuscripts of the bible, high quality versions of a high quality (by their measures) book. Then you

    have the printing press, and suddenly it becomes sensible to produce newspapers. Transaction costs were brought down to the point where you didn't get a book to treasure your entire life, you got something you would read for a day and then wrap fish with. And now, with the internet, transaction costs have been brought to near-nothing. Who wants a whole newspaper these days? They used to have to bundle comics with politics with weather with want-ads with pictures of cats because of transaction costs, now we can get each of those on a separate website in bite-size emailable chunks.

    Hi Friend,

    You're in for a real treat this week, because I am going to reveal a dozen words, which could change your life.

    Why? Because Yale University researches have identified the

    12 most powerful words in the human language… proven to attract attention and stir emotion within their readers.

    Here they are:

    You Save Results Health Love Proven Money New Easy Safety Discovery Guaranteed So how can these 'proven' 'new' words 'you' have discovered be used to generate 'results' and make 'you' more 'money'? It's 'easy.' 'You'll'

    'love' the way you can 'safely' integrate them into your ads and sales letters. Plus, 'you'll' 'save' thousands of dollars from burning a hole through your pocket from ineffective advertising… 'Guaranteed.'

    Notice how easy it is!

    Oh yeah, one more thing. Once you start implementing all of these words into your copy… you may just

    find that the extra 'money' you make will help you to chill out. Consequently, many people find their 'health' improves as a result ;)

    A word of warning: These words are a tool… but just as mild painkillers are not a cure for cancer… they are not a cure for poorly thought out copy.

    WHAT IS CLICKBANK?

    'click bank is an affiliate program network…this means that they are the middle station between affiliates and the product publishers.

    Click Bank has more than 100,000 affiliates for digital products.

    Affiliates use Click Bank because Click Bank makes the process of earning commissions completely transparent. Leveraging these affiliates can multiply your product sales – if you have your own product to sell.

    However, the majority of people who use Clickbank

    are Affiliates. People who get paid to advertise for Publishers.

    As an affiliate, if you can't find a product you like, there's no need to restrict yourself to Clickbank. After all, having a good product to promote is integral to profit online.

    Clickbank's biggest distinction is they promote only downloadable

    products.

    So what advice do I have for you if you want to become a very rich affiliate?

    Your best bet would be to advertise your own website first.

    Then capture the emails of visitors, and finally market as many related Clickbank products via email and blog posts.

    driving through a route i go through DAILY, i noticed for the first time a pedestrian crossing on the highway.

    It was rather faded. That's how Jordan's roads are mainly, old paint marks their crummy roads…

    anyway, i couldn't help thinking about how similar the situation in this 3rd world country is to many of the online entrepreneurs.

    you see, Jordan, is

    a nation of imitation. They don't do anything because it makes sense and for good reason…they just do it to be the same as everyone else.

    Their education system is no different.

    Universities introduce new and strange specialisations–nuclear physics, for example, even though we don't have any nuclear power here. Or Astro-Physics, even though there is no rocket-program.

    Really, we just have the specialisations because they exist elsewhere.

    but there's no logic in it. Educated graduates emerge without jobs.

    Similarly, our roads have faded pedestrian crossings no body ever stops at. Inconveniently placed on fast-speed roads, without any additional markings like Diamonds to make us slow down before the crossing.

    The crossing is a

    mere decoration for the road, no thought was put into its placement. Pedestrians have no respect for it, because it doesn't serve any function. Drivers don't stop at it, because the police were not trained to enforce it.

    It makes me think…

    Online, entrepreneurs always follow blindly 'strategies' and 'tips' and 'tricks' that gurus provide…they buy their tools and courses…and yet they have little interest in WHY.

    Few of them ever research how Search Engines work or why they behave the way they do.

    No body is interested in PHILOSOPHY and REASON…

    Everyone wants the quick fix, follow these steps and you'll be a millionaire tomorrow.

    That's dangerous.

    It's why the Online Marketer community

    is full of inconsiderate Numbskulls ready to do whatever just to make a quick buck.

    It's why nothing works for them.

    It's why people spill nonsense about split-testing when no body ever really tests.

    In fact, split-tests are statistically INCORRECT. They make no sense (for reasons i won't get into)…i'll be the first to admit we don't split-test anything. However, we ALWAYS have a variant ad, or variant landing page.

    Not for testing, but because we found that two versions of anything appeal to two different sets of people. Even if one variation of our landing page receives a poor response, we keep it because it still gets SOME response that we would not have got with the other version.

    'From the moment Diffie and Hellman published 

    'From the moment Diffie and Hellman published their findings…, the National Security Agency's crypto monopoly was effectively terminated. …

    Every company, every citizen now had routine access to the sorts of cryptographic technology that not many years ago ranked alongside the atom bomb as a source of power.'

    this is from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitfield_Diffie

    This is pretty powerful stuff if you sit down and think about

    it for a time.

    Everything done in business comes down to communication, as do most things in life. Being able to solve problems and distribute ideas are powerful things.

    Being able to do them with an assurance of security is as powerful as the people who controlled it before this.

    I think this

    was a watershed moment for computers, even if the pairing is still coming to fruit. At some point all communication is going to have to be secure, and I imagine this includes internal computer communications between programs do to the nature of computers changing to a parallel model.

    hey there,

    Wouldn't it be nice to have an expert team of researchers and writers at your command, writing for you promotional emails and blog posts that get traffic and sales…AT NO COST?

    Read more about this below, after these brief messages…

    A contributor sent us the following test result

    Hi guys,

    Over a period of 6 months, a group of 5000+ people from an IM freebie list was sent emails with various subject lines every 2 days.

    The following had the highest open rate

    You Will Love This… (20% on average) How I (Insert Benefit) In Record

    Time… (17% on average) Seven Deadly [blank] Mistakes (16% on average) Discover the 'Insider' Strategies That… (13% on average) Should you go and use these emails yourself to get sales?

    Nahhh…

    The Open Rate is used in email marketing to measure the read-rate of promotional messages. Commonly, marketers use the open-rate to pinpoint the pool of people likely to buy from their messages.

    But this is complicated and unnecessary in my humble (but correct) opinion.

    What most marketers don't realise is that open-rate is calculated by including a transparent image in HTML emails. This sends a 'request' back to the email server when the message is opened so it can count their opening of the message.

    Unfortunately, this is a rather inaccurate metric.

    Some email programs do not support HTML tags, so the tracking image is never requested, even when the message is opened.

    Worse…

    Email software usually disables images in emails by default to counter this exact tracking method. After all, it's a common strategy used by spammers to determine if a stolen email is valid.

    So tracking opens

    this way is a silly and sure way to get your promo messages marked as spam, and never delivered!

    All the same, the above subject lines may do well for our contributor.

    But be careful about using other people's tests blindly, because there are other factors unrelated to the subject line which influence your open rate.

    For example, if your subscribers joined your mailing list for the wrong reasons, they may not open any of your messages anyway.

    Or if the readers become accustomed to receiving rubbish blatant sales pitches from your Email address, they are already trained not to open your messages, regardless of your subject.

    All the same, email is by far the BEST way to convert your email subscribers into customers who pay you money EVERY time you send an email.

    And the more frequently you email (regardless of the subject you use)…

    …you exponentially and drastically improve you chances of selling.

    So what's a better way to turn even a small mailing list into a cash-cow?

    Easy…

    Send out one quality email every day with a call to action to buy…

    That's it.

    But writing quality

    daily emails can be time-consuming.

    We do it though, for several different mailing lists and it only takes FIVE minutes a day.

    How?

    We have a highly skilled research team who grab for us the most winning subject lines, the most controversial topics, and all the information we need to write messages that get read…

    Researchers summarise everything for me and then i quickly and easily piece their summaries together into an email for each list.

    It takes literally FIVE minutes of my time, and i can afford to do it several times a day.

    Want to do the same thing?

    Then i have some exciting news for you…

    Very soon we'll be offering our subscribers access to our Research and Writing team for FREE.

    You will be able to get them to produce emails that put money in your bank account EVERY time you hit the 'Send' button.

    Best part is, we do it for you, with NO up-front costs.

    You only pay a small percentage of each sale. Meaning you only pay if our emails are effective at putting money in your bank account.

    Sound good?

    The bad news…

    This service is still in development.
