Paul's Myers Amazing List Machine... How to make a pile of money in the next 12 weeks... Letter from Phil... this week Paul Myers has released a book about building a mailing list and growing your ezine. Nothing special about that you might think. After all there are heaps of books about ezines. But this one is different, and I've got to say that it's the best book about developing your online business that I've had the privilege of reading at any time over the past few years. Now that sounds like a bit of a sensationalist statement, a bit of hype. But it's not. I don't want to sensationalize this book at all, and frankly I don't need to. It's a very serious book for serious ezine owners and list builders. I'm not saying it's complicated. It's not. Everything is explained in a straightforward, but detailed, manner. But it is only for people who are serious about building an online business. It's not fluff. It requires you to think, well it compels you to think, and to act on what you learn. I've never scribbled so many notes when I've read a book. Oh, before I continue, I want to say one sensationalist thing...what I'm learning from reading this book - a distillation of Paul Myers list building wisdom - is going to at least double the circulation of this ezine this year. I've never seen so many ideas for getting new (very targeted) subscribers packed into one place before. And so many of the ideas are new to me. I'm sure they will be to you as well. Paul doesn't just say "do this and you'll get 50 new subscribers a day" he tells you in step-by-step detail exactly how to do it, and why to do it, and even when to do it. But he's not just talking about 50 new subs a day, those figures are on the low end of the scale for him. He shows you how to take steps to get many hundreds or thousands of new subscribers a week. The great thing is that he's not just plucked these ideas and methods out of thin air, they're not just theories, they're what he's done himself to build a powerful ezine and an almighty reputation. In February he started a new newsletter, completely outside the Internet marketing niche, and took it from zero to over 8000 subscribers in just the first few days. And using Paul's advice, marketer Joel Christopher tripled his ezine subscriber list in just 99 days: ______________ " Paul ...I made a challenge to myself to DOUBLE my Opt-in List in 90 days. You encouraged me to go for it, Paul! Well guess what? I doubled it from 10,292 to 20,584 in 74 days and TRIPLED it to 30,903 in only 99 days." Joel Christopher. ______________ I printed my copy of Paul's book out ( it's called The Amazing List Machine ), had it comb bound, took it into my favorite coffee shop and then let my coffee grow cold without touching it because I was too busy making notes in the margins to think about drinking. I could go on about this book for ages, but I'm not going to. You know whether you're serious about list building or not. And if you are you've got to read this. Simple as that. Paul's shown me an exact way to get 200 new targeted subscribers a day AT NO COST. That's 1400 a week. And I'm going to do it or rip my hair out trying. One more thing I need to mention. He's giving away, as a bonus, a tool called Tagger that on it's own is probably worth the cost of the book to people using mail merge programs. Very useful indeed. How to make a pile of money in the next 12 weeks... Ok, the second thing I want to discuss in this weeks issue is that I've come up with a way for you to make money from my book, Mini Site Profits, without you having to "sell" the book at all. All you have to do is recommend my free newsletter. And that can't be a hard thing to do, after all you're reading it and I guess you're finding it interesting and useful, so I'm sure your friends / subscribers / web site visitors will as well. Telling people to subscribe to a free newsletter has got to be easier than suggesting they spend money on my book. So what exactly have I come up with? Well at the beginning of the week, not long after I've started reading Paul's book, I was studying the affiliate stats for my Mini Site Profits site, and I discovered something interesting. Some affiliates who send tons of traffic to my book hardly make any sales. And yet some affiliates who send far less visitors make plenty of sales. It all boils down to "preselling" effectively. In other words the visitors that some people send to me are warmed up to the idea of investing in my book. They arrive at the site in a ready to buy mood. It's not easy to do a good "preselling" job. But if you want to make plenty of money with affiliate programs it's something you've always had to learn to do. Until now that is. I got to thinking about how to make it easier for you to make affiliate sales, and I decided that the best way was for me to do the selling for you. Many people who subscribe to my newsletter end up buying the book after reading a number of issues. So I figured out that all I'd got to do was help you send people to my ezine via an affiliate link. Because I use Clickbank it wasn't easy. They only allow one "landing" page...in other words if you sell 3 books on your site you can't have affiliate links point to the sales pages of each one. You can only get people to link to the main page of the site. So I got my favorite programmer Vadim, creator of the scripts at sellwide.com, including the very popular ( and very low cost ) autoresponder program FollowUp-It, http://www.sellwide.com/scripts/followupitscript.html to write me something to do the job. He's done an excellent job - as always. Ok, this is getting a bit long winded, so let me finish it up. Clickbank cookies last for 3 months. In that time people you send to my ezine will get 12 issues, plenty of time to make up their mind about buying Mini Site Profits. First of all, if you're not already an affiliate, click here and sign up in the normal way. Afterwards, or if you're already an affiliate, all you've got to do is use the link below to recommend my ezine...and you'll be credited with the sales...even though I'll do the selling for you in the ezine, and in the follow up mailings sent to new subscribers: http://www.minisiteprofits.net/ezine.cgi?YOUR_CLICKBANK_NICKNAME (there's no point in clicking that link until you replace YOUR CLICKBANK NICKNAME with youw own. The link won't work at all unless you do) BTW If you're doing well preselling the book that's fine, keep things the way they are (and thanks) because you'll make money faster. But if you're not such a great preseller, write a simple paragraph or two suggesting people get this free newsletter. Send enough people my way and you'll be onto a real winner. If you want to use the script yourself to do something similar please write to me at script@ozemedia.com Now when you promote my newsletter PLEASE don't spam. That's ultra important. thanks for reading...phil ps. If you're serious about marketing on the net developing your own opt-in list is vitally important.
