Phil Wiley's All the Secrets issue 210 Mar 17th 2002

 

Letter from Phil... before I get into anything else I just want to remind you about the article I wrote last week about Buying and Selling Sites on Ebay and how I'd been stuck there (on Ebay) for 2 days looking at sites for sale. You can read the article again by following this link. Well just this week well known marketer Kirt Christensen launched a brand new site on this very topic - showing you exactly how to profit from buying cost web sites, improving them, and making a huge profit when you sell them. You can read about Kirt's new site here. I became a member the day it was launched. The affiliate program also looks worthwhile joining. You can sign up for it here. You'll be one of the first to promote it....by the way one very happy reader snapped up the GetNutrition.net web site mentioned in the article for a low $66. Can't beat that! Two books I've read this week The other day I heard a bit of buzz on the forums about a new ebook/website where Stephan Ducharme shows you how to get 1 million visitors to your site without paying a dime in advertising. Stephan says that he's written it after going from 1000 visitors a year to over a million himself. It's an intriguing sales letter, so I bought it. While I can't agree with many of the methods used (it's got nothing to do with bulk email or spamming people) the strategies detailed will increase your traffic. It's a good book for people new to this business who currently have little traffic and are willing to put work in to increase it. But if you've been in business for a while you probably won't find much benefit here. Though I did discover one thing I should be doing, and as soon as I put it into place I'll see an instant traffic surge.   The other book - really a tape/seminar transcript, is the one you'll have seen advertised a fair bit in the past couple of months. The headline being used to sell it, with great success, is: "How a New Jersey Truck Driver Earns $130,267.33 A Year Online Without Any Products to Sell…" So a couple of weeks ago I decided to do something about it and sent off for the professionally recorded tape set and printed manual. It's called Instant Internet Income Streams For Ordinary People...and it's 8 hours of hard hitting, nail biting, money-making information from master marketers Terry Dean and Frank Garon. Nothing is spared as affiliate wizard Frank shows exactly how he sat at home and averaged $10,855.91 per month last year. So what's so special about Frank that he made over $130,000 from affiliate programs last year? Nothing. This is one of the beautiful things about home business on the Internet beauty of the Internet...that any "Average Joe" can succeed…even if all you've ever done is deliver pizzas for a living…or drive a truck for $14.25 an hour like Frank did. Super Affiliate & average guy Frank with his wife Marie Listening to one of the tapes this morning I came to a part where Terry and Frank were discussing a number of competing marketing courses for sale on the net. Terry said something that stuck with me: "I might only get one idea out of the book, but that one idea is worth a lot more than I paid for it." That's so true. When you've been studying Internet marketing material for a long time, you'll realize that there's not really anything new under the sun. The courses and quality books are all saying much the same thing, but in very different ways. But successful people never stop buying new products. That one idea you'll find in a new book could really bring you big dollars in. You might read information on the same topic 4 or 5 times without ever really getting much value from it, until Wow! suddenly an idea that you've probably heard before, smacks you right between the eyes, and you think Yes, I'll do that. That's going to make me an extra $10,000 this year. Personally I've got 2 huge bookcases full of marketing and business books, many of them are ebooks I've bought, printed out and had bound. It's not a matter of being addicted to information products (as my wife seems to think), it's about learning something new. About finding new methods of increasing my income and improving my own knowledge of Internet business. Personally I soak up every bit of marketing and advertising material and training that I can. It pays off for me, it will for you too. But to get back to this tape set and book... what have I learnt here? Well it's no secret that Frank is making his income from affiliate programs. I make a very good income from them too, so you might think it unlikely that I'd pick up much from this tape set/book. But you'd be wrong. I didn't just get one idea, the one idea that would make the price of the book/tape package worthwhile. In fact I wrote down a list of 14 different things I could and should and will be doing to improve my affiliate income. You can read about the contents of the tapes and transcript here. By the way here's a pic of the house Frank built in the mountains of Pennsylvania with his affiliate income. Maybe all super affiliates move to the mountains or beach. It seems to be a growing trend.   While we're on the topic of Super Affiliates, a new book is coming out in a few days that shows you how another super affiliate, Brian Garvin, earned even more last year than Frank did. I can't point you to it yet because the download web site isn't completed, but I've read the book (written by Shane Pearce who I mentioned last week) and it's full of useful affiliate boosting info. The reason I'm mentioning it now is that on page 44 Shane asks Brian what he thinks of Mini affiliate sites. Brian answers that "yes I think they're excellent sales tools...do I endorse this concept? Yes, and highly..." I'm not the only one who earns good money from mini sites. Many super affiliates use this technique. To learn how to do it you really need to read my book.

Deadline 11.59pm Wednesday Listen...I think it's so important that you keep educating yourself about Internet marketing that I'll cut you a special deal this week.

Here's a quote I like "An idea not coupled with action will never get any bigger then the brain cell it occupied". -- Arnold Glasgow. The way I look at this it means you've got to take action on what you learn and the ideas you come up with. Remember no one succeeds without taking action. Don't be one of those people who read everything and never do anything. Set out a series of action steps to take and follow them. Marlon Sander's has just released a new product. I haven't bought it yet, so no review or recommendation except to say that Marlon always overdelivers. Marlon says "It breaks out of all the same old, same old, blah, blah, blah copycat stuff happening today."
