24 Hour Profits Challenge

So many people talk about making x amount of money in 20 days, 90 days, or whatever. Some of those can be very insightful, but I'm prepared to do something even better. I'm giving myself a 24 hour challenge.

I'm going to start from scratch, come up with a concept (perhaps a script), and market it all within 24 hours. Furthermore, I'm going to only spend a couple of hours actually creating the product -- the rest of the time will be focused on gathering up a few quick affiliates, putting a quick site together, and doing any other marketing strategy that I can think of.

And to make this a REAL example, I'm not going to use anything that your average joe won't have access to.

I have a feeling that I'll break four figures within the first 24 hours, and hopefully five figures within the first week ... but we'll just have to wait and see. Stay tuned for more details...

Don't forget the backend!

No, I'm not talking about THAT backend. I'm talking about backend sales to your existing products or websites. If you're selling a $12 product, you should always have at least something lined up as a backend, or a higher upsell. Sometimes it's not a bad idea to have more than one backend.

Many marketers often forget this. I know that I certainly have many times.

Here's a great live example of one I'm working on myself. I have a great guide in the works that deals with affiliate marketing. Most people would stop right there and after making those sales, they'd be happy. Instead, I not only plan on grabbing my customers' e-mail addresses to promote further future launches to, but I also plan on having a related membership site with a ton of affiliate tools.

Since these are buyers of an affiliate marketing guide, I can bet that many of them might be interested in having more tools for affiliate marketing. And since they'd already be dishing out money for my front-end guide, I can also assume that many of them trust me enough to also dish out some more for a quality membership site on the same topic.

Simple things like that can double your earnings, if not more. All of a sudden a simple $12 guide can turn into hundreds of dollars for a single buyer.

I've learned this the hard way over time, and now I try to almost always have at least one backend/upsell before doing any significant launch.

Just something to keep in mind.

SiteStealer Review and Awesome Bonus!

I just got back from speaking at the Midwest Internet Marketing Seminar this past weekend. I met a lot of great people -- both expert marketers and newcomers alike. Tons of ideas were bounced off of each other, and I know everyone walked away with some great new ideas.

One of the gentlemen I met, who also was a speaker, was Harris Fellman. Let me tell you, he's one of the funniest marketers I've ever met. On top of being funny, he also has some awesome ideas and has risen the ranks of internet marketers fairly quick.

He has a new guide where he teaches all about stealing sites. Now, don't let that make you think that he's doing something illegal or unethical -- he's not.

The concept is an awesome one and easily allows you to pract ically "steal" profitable products and sites at little to no cost. Now, how do I know that this concept is great? Unlike most marketers, I actually saw Harris Fellman in person present the whole idea in front of me, as well as saw the great package he put together.

On top of that, what he does here is very similar to a concept that I've been using on Ebay and writing a guide about. It's not identical, but it's along the same line of thinking, and I personally know that it works great. I've also seen several of the gurus practice this same idea.

Now, I know several other marketers are throwing out bonuses of irrelevant guides, tips, or other junk, but the bonus I have here for you is one you'll definitely want to take me up on.

I have a guide that is close to being done (scheduled for this week) on a similar concept with Ebay. It's not the same idea, so you won't be able to apply Fellman's guide right off the bat to Ebay. However, with my extra bonus report, you'll have your eyes wide open to a whole new idea that perhaps could be MUCH easier for some of you.

Simply e-mail me a copy of your receipt once you've purchased, and I'll send you a free copy of my upcoming Ebay guide.

The seminar aftermath

Wow, I had a blast at the Midwest Internet Marketing Seminar (now called the Masters Seminar). I gave a great presentation talking about two methods I use a lot in internet marketing that work wonders, effectively giving everyone sneak peaks at three of my upcoming projects.

There were at least three tips I gave that could bring in hundreds of dollars with only five minutes of work or less if applied well, and everyone seemed shocked at how easy it was. But enough about me and my projects -- you'll hear more about them soon.

I just wanted to say that if you haven't gone to an internet marketing seminar yet, you really should. I'm not saying you have to start out at a $5,000 per ticket seminar, but there are plenty of reasonably priced ones to check out. I know Ross Goldberg and I are putting on another one in six months that we're working out the details on soon.

I not only met the other speakers there and learned a few things that will surely help my online business, but I also met tons of other people attending and learned even more from them. It's amazing at how many different projects and ideas most of these people have. One fellow I met gave me two new ideas that I know will definitely at least double or triple my earnings for a future project of mine.

I also walked away with a few new JV offers (both ways), a couple joint projects, tons of great friends, and TONS of new ideas.

Stay tuned for my video presentation and how to grab the entire seminar on DVD soon.

A few upcoming launches -- now with dates

After a few delays, I've finally set some dates to some future launches coming up. Since I'll be speaking at the Midwest Internet Marketing Seminar, I wanted to get a few of my newer projects done by then. Well, a few people (and myself) are busily at work and going to launch a few neat sites next week and the week after (visitors to the seminar will see a sneak preview).

I'm really excited that it's hard for me to hold back on an exciting new concept that I developed for one of those sites, which will give you an advantage that only the big names have had until now. Unlike other launches, it won't need any hype or false promises to get you to purchase it.

More on that soon!
