Hey thanks for the feedback. And you are absolutely right with your suggestion. It is in fact the poll on the side bar that I’m referring to but as you point out it’s not that clear.

I’m in the process of redesigning the blog and will be moving the poll to the individual posts rather than the sidebar so it’s more clear.

cheers,
Todd

Hey,

I have some feedback regarding clarity. When I got the e-mail and clicked through the the post, I was expecting the poll to be in or below the post. Are we being asked to participate in the poll on the right side of the screen regarding e-mail lists? I assume this is the case, but I’m not sure. It would help me (and probably others as well) if you used language like “please participate in the poll to the right of this post; this week’s topic is ____.”

thanks!

Hi Todd,

I have paid for courses about online marketing that didn’t even come close to what you have here. This was by far one of the most valuable courses i have found online over the past year. Kudos to Longtail Treasures I just wish i had this infomation a year ago when I first started out. Oh well, “Better late than never…”
BTW I would love to learn more about SEO and OMS

Thanks Todd,

I would love to learn about how often most people use giveaways as a way to build their list... especially as a newer affiliate marketer. Also have those additions to the list been useful or not. Love the polls. John Henderson’s last blog post..A Few Ideas On Internet Marketing

I found one that seems to be ok, I got 12 prospects my very first
day but I seem to be having a problem closing the deal,

Hi Brett,

Thanks for the comment and explaining the problems you’re having. I can assure you it’s not an uncommon problem. A successful campaign does require not only traffic but also conversions from visitors in to sales.

Of course conversions depend on two key factors
1) the product you’re marketing
2) the landing page effectiveness

I have certainly picked a few duds in my time when it comes to product selection as I think everyone has or will. I’ve also picked great products and had driven huge amounts of traffic with minimal results because the landing page failed to convince them to take action.

One of the things I’ve begun doing in the past 6 months is to go after even more popular products. This certainly means there’s more competition but it also ensures there are buyers and money being spent there.

More competition means more money in the market and I feel that by following the traffic techniques in my course, as you have, I can compete traffic wise with more competitive markets.

I will certainly address both these issues in some new lessons shortly.

Anyway, if you’d like to send me an email with some more details of your campaigns I’ll have a quick look and offer some assistance if I can.

cheers,
todd

Hey Todd, I followed your course with two products from CB. I dominated Google with both. The problem was- not much interest in either (judging by squidoo stats) and no sales. While I am thrilled your course showed me how to rank, I am deeply disappointed in my ability to find a product that will sell. It’s like I am wondering if it is even worth the time and effort. I do have the Micro Niche Finder now and I can see the potential of the long tail treasure. I find myself second-guessing what I see with my own eyes and doubling back on every decision I make. I’m dying over here. One sale would light me up like a kid on Christmas. I fear I may have to hang it up if I don’t hit pay-dirt soon.
Cheers,
Brett

Hey Chris thanks for stopping by. And thanks for the comments on the course

I am still a member of the Wealthy Affiliates. It’s a great source of information and a great place to network with other marketers.

WA has so much information that it’s often a little overwhelming which is one of the reasons I created my free course.

I’m sure if you stick with the IM thing long enough you’ll be successful. Problem is most people are sold on how easy internet marketing is but they misinterpret that as meaning low amount of work.

I make far more money than any doctor I’ve ever met and I didn’t have to spend 7 years in college so yeah it’s easy in that respect … but I still had to learn and do the work. And to do that you need self motivation and discipline.

If you can do that then you’re golden and you’ll be successful.

Don’t be a stranger

cheers,
todd

Hey Todd, I just want to congratulate you on all the success, and your great tutorial. I too am a member of Wealthyaffiliate, not sure if you still are or not.

Your site is a great resource and I’m glad I stumbled across it in the forums, it is a very complete, easy to understand, not to lengthy guide to success. This is a great formula/system.

It really builds on what I already know and ties in everything that I’m learning with WA. In my opinion, they don’t really do the greatest job tying stuff together, mind you I’m only on week 5 of the course.

I only hope I can duplicate your success and hope to be able to help others.

Cheers, Chris
