Underground Traffic Blueprints Honest Review – Simon Hodgkinson & Jeremy Gislason

Posted on July 13, 2010 by Paul Counts

I know by now you have heard about Underground Traffic Blueprints that just went live earlier today. Well, I decided to give you an honest review of this product because I just bought it today!

Click Here – Underground Traffic Blueprints Training

This product is shaking up the Internet marketing community for good reason because it is delivering some new and innovative methods for getting more traffic and you know that more traffic means more money.

First Impressions

After investing in this program I was immediately taken to a page to setup my account. There were no one time offers or upsells to speak of! I got what I paid for and within minutes was watching the videos in the backend. I liked this a lot!

Content

As far as the content goes it was step-by-step and gave a great overview of each strategy so after watching you can start taking action. My one complaint is that I felt like some of the videos took a few minutes to get to the step-by-step training, but you can easily fast forward or rewind the videos if you want to get to the meat of the content quickly.

Phase number 1 part 1 covered a unique Adwords method which I personally use and know works well. In part 2 it covered an autoblogging method that I hadn’t seen used before to drive tons of niche and focused traffic to your offers. Finally, in part 3 of phase 1 you will learn about a truly underground article marketing strategy that is rarely taught in this way, and again a method I endorse for working for me!

Read more about this course and pick it up because it is worth the investment! The price is very low considering all of the knowledge you gain from it.

There is still 3 more phases I need to go through and a bonus video, but I will say the strategies learned in just phase 1 was worth the investment for me all together!


Underground Traffic Strategies Recap

So to recap, you will likely learn new traffic methods that do work. Even if you have heard of some of these methods I know you will find something new because I am an advanced marketer, and I learned some new things that I will use to improve my business.

I bought this course to see if it lived up to the sales page and it certainly did which is why I wanted to recommend this to you. I did not get a review copy, but I invested in this and I feel you should as well!

Internet Viral Marketing – How To Borrow Buzz for Traffic and Profits

Posted on July 1, 2010 by Paul Counts

How To “Borrow” Other People’s Buzz TODAY (Think Traffic!)
By Jimmy D. Brown

Did you know that other people “warm up” your customers for you with their “big product launches”?

And, did you further know, that a huge opportunity for you to create sales for YOUR product or a product you promote as an affiliate can be the result?

If, that is, you “borrow” the buzz that other people are generating.

Imagine this scenario…

Mr. Marketer creates a new $2,000 product.  He “launches” it with his friends.  Everyone on the forums is talking about it.  Every email sent out within the marketplace has something to say about it.  Bloggers are raving.  The whole industry is buzzing about the new launch.

The average conversion rate is 2%.  And that’s not on $2,000 products.  But, let’s assume that Mr. Marketer is the best in the biz.  And he can generate something obscene like 25% conversion rate on a $2,000 offer (which, by the way, ain’t likely to happen).

IF that were to happen, the flipside is this:  75% DON’T BUY.

In other words, for every 100 visitors to the “launch” site, 75 of them walk away without buying.

Were they uninterested?  If that’s the case, they likely wouldn’t have visited the site in the first place.

In the majority of the cases, they $2,000 price tag was out of their reach.  Not in the budget.  Don’t have the money.  Been there, done that … didn’t have the cash to buy the t-shirt!

So, what can we learn from this?

We can learn…

* These 75 out of every 100 who don’t buy are probably interested to some degree.

* These 75 out of every 100 have heard all of the buzz and have been “presold” on the premise of the product.

* These 75 out of every 100 are strong candidates to buy a lower-priced, related alternative.

That’s where YOU come into the picture.

You “borrow” the buzz that’s been generated for the big product being launched by talked about by everyone as you promote a lower-priced, related alternative!

Here’s how you do it…

1. Look for high-dollar launches in your market.

The first step is to keep your eye on the pulse of your market.  Whenever a major new product is being launched, get busy.  You’ll usually know days, if not weeks, in advance because that’s how launches work:  they do a lot of “pre” build-up work to get people salivating for the eventual launch.  Keep your eyes out for anything new in the works.

2. Promote a low-cost alternative.

It doesn’t matter if you write a quick 10-15 page report, promote your own existing product that is related or grab an affiliate link to some other existing product or service.  It doesn’t really matter WHERE you obtain this lower-priced alternative.  The important thing is that you find one.  It needs to be related to the topic of the big product being launched.  It can be related either (a) by teaching a similar concept, or (b) teaching a portion of the big product’s concept.

3. Write a mailing that explains the two options.

You’ll want to write a mailing to send to your subscribers or to post at your blog.  This mailing needs to contain three important elements…

- Content that presells.  Share some meaty nuggets related to the offer you are ultimately going to promote to set the table.

- A small blurb about big launch with your link. Mention the “major” launch briefly.  Describe it’s benefits and use an affiliate link of yours to point to the offer.  Mention that it’s only drawback is “price”.  Express that many people can’t afford it.

- A stronger promotion for your option.  Then, really hit home with this “lower-priced, related alternative”.  Let them know the benefits are similar at a fraction of the cost.  Be sure to point out that it’s priced for everyone — especially those who feel “left out” of the big budget launch because they can’t afford it.

Then, it’s just a matter of getting that mailing out to your subscribers.

Let’s look at what you have in place as a result of this strategy…

* You have two promotions:  a minor one for the same “major” launch everyone else is promoting, and a “major” one for the lower-priced, related alternative.

* You have “borrowed buzz”.  Everyone in the marketplace is warming up prospects with all of their “talk” about the importance of the subject matter of the “big product launch”.  They are primed and ready to buy … something!

* You have a spike in sales coming.

This is a wonderful strategy for getting extra sales.

Remember, there are always a whole lot more people who DON’T buy the product being offered in the “launch”, than those who do!  You’ve got a huge pool of prospects in the 75-98% of people who don’t buy the $2,000 offer.  Many of them WILL buy a lower-priced, related alternative.

So, the only thing left for you to do is get started.

And if you’ve like a shortcut, let me show you a quick way to do it TODAY.

You  have almost certainly seen that Product Launch Formula 3.0 (PLF3) has launched this week.  Everyone is talking about it. While there are a lot of different strategies and ideas involved in a “launch”, the backbone is the same…

*** Other people send you the majority of your traffic.

It’s obviously a very *HOT* topic right now.  People are scrambling to pay BIG BUCKS for the course.

But…

Do you think everyone can afford it?

What about the tens of thousands of internet marketers who can’t afford it, but who ARE INTERESTED in the subject?

What a shame to let them sit by without getting any sales from them!

But, don’t worry — you CAN get sales from them!  Here’s how…

You offer them something for PENNIES on the dollar that provides the same end result:  other people sending them traffic for their products and services!

A few days ago Jimmy D. Brown announced a resale rights offer for his Sales Army Secrets course.

Click Here for Resale Rights to Sales Army Secrets

There are still licenses available for YOU to grab in order to sell a low-cost alternative to the high-dollar “launch” product that everyone is jabbering about.

***BUT IT GETS BETTER — FREE PLR to $20 Report! ***

Jimmy wrote a report several months ago which he briefly made available to one of his membership sites.  It’s entitled “How To Get R.I.C.H. With Your Own Affiliate Program”.

(It was pulled after a month and is no longer available anywhere.)

The report is 21 meaty pages in itself, but it also strongly promotes the Sales Army Secrets course at the end.

When you order one of the remaining licenses for Sales Army Secrets, Jimmy is going to give you (no cost!) a free PLR license to the special report!

You can sell the report for $20, give it away, do whatever you want with it (as long as you don’t misrepresent it or mention Jimmy in reference to it)…

…while using the endorsement at the close of the report to promote YOUR COPY of Sales Army Secrets!

It’s a ready-made marketing report to get people to buy Sales Army Secrets from you!  You can sell Sales Army Secrets for $97 per order and keep 100% of every sale!

Here’s what you need to do…

1. Click Here for Resale Rights to Sales Army Secrets

2. Register and open a ticket at Jimmy’s support center at and provide his staff with a copy of your receipt.

Within 24 hours someone will send you the download information for this special Free PLR offer.

That’s it!

Get one while it lasts…

Click Here for Resale Rights to Sales Army Secrets

There’s only ONE catch…

This special offer is for the next 3 days only.  On Friday, July 2nd at 10PM CDT, Jimmy is shutting down the license offer and this Free PLR offer.  They will no longer be available.  Officially “retired” at that point.

Then you can quickly “borrow the buzz” of those promoting PLF3!

Affiliate Marketing Business Opportunity – 8 Simple Steps

Posted on June 4, 2010 by Paul Counts

Here is an affiliate marketing business opportunity that you can follow in 8 simple steps to earn more online!

I like to give you actionable content and resources that you can use as you grow your business. I have personally used this method myself to generate some great income and have also helped many others do the same. The method involves targeting popular product names and getting targeted traffic from the search engines for this content.

So here is the strategy for you.

Step 1: Choose Your Product

In this first step you need to select a product to promote utilizing this system. The main things you want here is a product that is pretty popular. You can use products from Clickbank or Amazon for this phase. I have had success promoting both.

Like I did a website reviewing the Nintendo Wii Fit system and I got search engine traffic for people looking up information about that unit and still get some traffic to this day from those efforts.

So to pick a product in Clickbank you can go to their marketplace and look up products in the Advanced Search area. Select a list of products with a gravity score higher than 30 because that means those products are really popular. You can even do a score of 20 or above if you want, but understand the lower the gravity the less traffic overall.

Browse through the list and look for products that interest you or just look for products that look like they have a good sales page that you would like to promote or feel comfortable promoting. I would make a note of 10 products in the list and put them in a notepad file or something on your computer.

Next, go to Google and do a search for the title of that product by going to Google and searching for the following:

allintitle:product name

You want to find competition that is 10,000 or less when the search for the title of the product is done. This means you have a better shot at ranking.

Just do this process until you find a few products you can promote that fit this criteria.

Now for an Amazon product just go to Google and do a search for Amazon bestsellers. Next browse through the products and look for items that are $50 or more because you will earn more per sale. After you identify a few products try to apply the same filters as for Google to get some ideas of competition.

Step 2: Register Domain Name

The next step is that you need to pick up a domain name for the product you are promoting. For this step you have to be careful though because you can get in trouble for buying a domain with a product name for items you find on Amazon due to copyright so I have a way around this.

Now for Clickbank products having the product name in the domain is not as big of an issue for you.

Google and the other search engines put a lot of weight on having the keyword in the domain. So you want something like productnamereviewed.com or productnameunveiled.com. Now if you have several of these the domain costs could start to add up so you can actually make these sub domains because the search engines treat a sub domain as a completely new URL.

So you could buy a generic domain to run all of your reviews from. So for example you could buy a domain like pjcproductreviews.com and then get subdomains like productname.pjcproductreviews.com.

If you are promoting the Clickbank product Fat Loss 4 Idiots you could have the domain http://fatloss4idiotsreview.pjcproductreviews.com

That seems long and nasty, but it can still work. If you were promoting Apple MacBook laptops you could say http://applemacbooklaptops.pjcproductreviews.com

In case you are wondering the pjc is just my initials to make it easier to come up with a name.

The best thing is to get the product name in the full domain, but this method also works and protects you from getting in trouble with the people that may own the trademark to those names.

I use GoDaddy to register my domains.

Step 3: Setup Web Hosting

You now need to get a good web hosting company that offers unlimited domains and plenty of storage. A use and recommend BlueHost for my hosting. You can sign up for them at the link below.

Click Here for BlueHost

For a low annual fee you get unlimited hosting with 24/7 customer support.

Most of you probably have an account with them or HostGator and if you do that is great! You just need to have a web host that also offers Cpanel and Fantastico or SimpleScripts for installing of WordPress.

After you pick your hosting go to the next step.

Step 4: Setup Review Site

Now you need to setup your website and this step is simple because you are using WordPress. You can even use the basic WordPress theme, but it helps if you use something that looks more professional and also a theme that is already setup to help you make money.

I am starting to use this new theme below.

Click Here For Pro WordPress Theme

It costs money, but I have found that it saves me a lot of time instead of spending hours trying to find the “perfect” WordPress theme that never comes along.

Now if you are on a tight budget you can go to Google and type in free WordPress themes and will have no problem finding themes to use!

So once you have picked out a theme you can install your blog. If you are using a web hosting provider with Cpanel you can use either Fantastico or SimpleScripts to install it with one click. It takes literally minutes.

Just make the name or title of your blog the name of the product and the word review behind it or something like that.

Also when looking for a theme try to go for a 2 column theme with the right side bar.

A plugin that I recommend you get that is free is the All-In-One SEO Plugin.

Step 5: Create Content and Post It

To make this work you need content and affiliate links or a banner on the right side. So you should create one article that would talk about the product and give some benefits of it. Within that article sprinkle in some affiliate links.

On the right sidebar you may want to also insert a banner for the product if they offer one or a product image that you can use as an affiliate for Amazon or something.

The important thing is that you get one piece of content on there. The more you do the better so try to shoot for 3 to 5 posts about that product overall.

Step 6: Promote Your Site

Now it is time to promote your product so for this I would do social bookmarking. You can go to SocialMarker.com to find a list of social sites. I would select 15 sites.

Further I would go to Pingoat.com and ping your first post to help it get indexed as well.

Now there is more you can do here, but these basic things get the search engines indexed.

Step 7: More Promotion

You can do video marketing, submit press releases, submit content to web 2.0 sites like Squidoo or HubPages, submit to directories, and more. Any additional promotion will really help you make this something special.

Step 8: Repeat

As with anything it is important to follow the steps multiple times to increase your income. Sometimes one site you do may make your $100 and another one may make you $5,000. So the key is to be consistent and work towards a goal!

Resources

Below is a link to the two optional paid resources I recommended in here.

1. Web Hosting With BlueHost

2. Professional WordPress Theme

I hope you found this strategy useful! Enjoy your day!

Methods for True Emergency Cash

Posted on January 1, 2010 by Paul Counts

I don’t want to sound harsh when I write this because I have been in bad situations before. This is just some helpful thoughts for those that are in a desperate situation. I got the urge to write this because of a support ticket I just got done answering for an individual that purchased something from me for over $50.

They wanted to know when I was going to set everything up for them that they just bought from me. Even though I never promised this anywhere in the sales materials that I would set it up for my customers. They demanded that I help them because and I quote; “My house is cold and my children are hungry and even the dogs are ready to start looking good as food.”

I responded to them and said that I would be sending over a refund because the money they just spent with me could buy them and the kids food for at least a week. Then I proceeded to ask them if they can do writing or graphics or something like that because I could help them find some ways to make some fast income.

I feel horrible for this individual, but my reason for refunding them and responding in the way I did is because I want them to understand that if you are in such a desperate horrible situation why would you spend over $50 and then rudely demand from the product owner that they help you now even though it is a holiday nonetheless?

I enjoy helping customers and I love helping people in need, but I really think that if you are in such a bad situation that maybe you should hold onto your money and use that for the most important things which is survival at the moment.

For those struggling right now here are some ideas that may help you get some emergency cash.

1. Start a writing business and do article writing for other Warrior members. Maybe offer your services just to get in the door at $3.50 per article. Sell them in packages of 10 articles. So $35 per package then sell 10 packages. Boom right there you have $350. Now you have a lot of work, but if you do a good job you should be able to retain some of those people or find new ones. I am not saying you need to undersell your services, but if you need money fast then you need to do something drastic to get people to take a risk with you.

2. Start a link building service. Offer to do social bookmarking, blog commenting, forum posts, or other links for maybe $0.35 to $0.50 per link. Sell those in packages of 100 links.

3. Write a report or ebook on something you are knowledgeable about and offer PLR to it and run a WSO for it. Make sure it is quality, but that can make you some money.

4. Contact other Internet marketers through their support desk and offer your services to them. Even if they don’t need it maybe their students need help.

5. Seek out other webmaster forums that have a Buy/Sell/Trade section and offer your services there.

The main thing is that if you are at a point where your option is to feed your kids or buy an IM course I would encourage you to always choose feeding your kids. They are number 1 and the most important. Then make some money using the ideas above to buy that Internet marketing course and take action on it.

Hope this didn’t come across as too harsh! Happy New Year!

How To Get Web Design Clients Step-By-Step

Fellow Internet marketer and a great guy, Justin Brooke of SiteFling.com wrote this amazing article on a step-by-step system for getting web design clients. I really loved his approach and strategy here. What I really liked about it was that you don’t even have to be a website design expert to do this as you can outsource the work.

 This is a great system for how to make money online as an Internet marketing consultant for local businesses in your area. Enjoy this powerful article.

The important thing is that you take action on this system!

The System

Forgive me if this seems kind of short from here, but it’s a pretty easy system. Please don’t mistake it’s brevity and simplicity for less effectiveness. Sometimes it’s the so-simple-why-didn’t-i-think-of-that systems that are so great.

1.First you are going to look for some local businesses that have websites. Which is much easier today then it was when I started this in 2005. Now you can search Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and many other sites.Once you find the businesses with the websites find 5 or 6 that look like they were designed a long time ago or could really use some improvements. This shouldn’t be too hard since most local business websites are horrendous.

2.Next you are going to pick one of them and re-design their website (or higher someone on scriptlance for $50 – $150). Make sure you take notes as you redesign the site about your reasons for different colors, navigation, buttons, functions, and anything else you change. You’ll need those notes in just a minute.

3.Now that you are finished you call up that company and say… “Hi, my name is Justin Brooke and I’ve redesigned your web site for free and I’d like to show it to someone. Who would that be?”

The gatekeeper won’t be used to this response and will usually be confused enough to just pass you on to the owner/CEO or the right person to talk too. If not just ask for a way that you can make sure he see’s your re-design without taking up his time like an email, fax, or OMG “Snail Mail.” Just make sure you get a way to get your design in front of the decision maker.

4.Once you get the decision maker on the phone you are going to introduce yourself and use this little script that I perfected over the years. “Hey Bob, thanks for taking the call this will be real quick because I know you’re busy. I’ve redesigned your website and I’d like to show it to you. This won’t cost you a thing and you are under no obligation to buy. I just want to show it to you and if you like it you can buy it. If you don’t then we go our separate ways with no harm done. Would Tuesday or Thursday be best?”

That’s it…

Just keep in mind that you aren’t selling anything on this phone call, just getting an appointment. After you ask for the Tuesday or Thursday… SHUT UP! Silence is the strongest sales tool you’ll ever experience because it forces the person on the other end of the call to make a decision.

Seriously, I don’t care if you have to wait 45 minutes, DO NOT be the first person to talk or you will relive their pressure and possible lose the appointment. People are much more comfortable with saying yes then they are saying no so usually they agree to the appointment.

After all it’s free, they have no obligation to buy, and you’ve just redesigned their website… They want what you have.

Closing The Deal At The Appointment

We would then setup the appointment and I would either show them via remote desktop sharing (webinar) software or in person. I would explain all the reasons for my changes and the benefits of the re-design (those notes I told you to take). They would naturally ask how much for the design and I would start off with $2,500 but say that I can work with their budget if they needed a sliding scale.

Then, I would say that I needed a decision in a week though because otherwise I would have to delete theirs. That I only get paid when I sell one of these re-designs, so I can’t afford to wait on them forever.

The urgency along with the sliding scale discount really helped nail down the sales and create impulse buys. Finally I told them that I accept checks through my bank and credit cards thru Paypal.

This system worked just fine until I ended up pursuing other interests like blogging and information marketing. Feel free to use this system exactly as I’ve mentioned to create your own web design business.

What Would I Change Today

If I were to pick this business back up, and I’m very tempted too, then I would most likely outsource the whole thing.

I would hire designers from Scriptlance and pay them either weekly or per project. Then I would hire sales reps from Craigslist and pay them on a commission only structure. The designers would get about 25% of the project and the sales rep would get 25% for each design he sold. Leaving me with 50% for just managing the business.

If the sales rep sold more then 4 designs in a month then I would give him a bonus 10% on his sales to give him an extra incentive to perform at his best.

Well I hope you’ve liked this little peak inside how I do things. If you are the type that likes the “Offline gold” or “Offline to Online Riches” reports out there then you’re really loving this, because this is the real deal.

This is how I put food on the table for quite awhile when I was just starting out.

3 Main Reasons People Don’t Succeed With Internet Marketing

Posted on November 14, 2009 by Paul Counts

I recently was working on helping someone that had questions for me about starting an Internet marketing business. I decided to share with them the 3 main factors for why people don’t succeed online. So here they are. I would love to hear your comments after it.

1. Not Taking Action

Time and time again I see it that the students that do not take action do not succeed online. I learned this the hard way myself. I wasn’t doing much until I started to actually sit down and take action on stuff I was learning. It is amazing what happens when you actually do what you are taught. You will learn more and really succeed. Even if the program you bought into doesn’t explain things well enough if you take action you will find that you figure it out, or figure out a better way.

I learned what I know now through taking action. Through testing and through trying new things.

2. Not Changing Mindset

People enter into this business with a skeptical mindset all of the time. I can understand this to a point, but the problem comes when people won’t change their mindset. They get so caught up in being skeptical and worrying about it being a scam that they forget to actually take action on what they are learning. They are so negative that they don’t think success is even possible.
So if you are going to do this you really need to be willing to be confident in yourself and believe that you can and will make this work for you.

3. Lack of Support

One huge factor people don’t succeed with most of the programs online today is because of a lack of support. Many people just need to be able to pick up the phone and ask a question live and get the answer they want. We have found by adding this to our program our students love us for this.

So many times people are just on verge of success, but they are missing just a few key points that could make a huge difference.

Again, let me know your thoughts on these 3 opinions. Would love to get your opinions here.
