thanks for commenting. The list I had for this was only about 3500. The actual list is longer but I segment my list and never mail to the whole list. This way I always have a hold back group as an email control group. The segment of the list that was mailed to was bout 3500.

It’s hard to sell a lot if you’re not a bit salesy. At the end of the day you have to tell them to buy or they won’t. It’s the call to action.

You simply have to give them so much free information in between the salesy emails that they’re NOT annoyed when a sales email comes through.

It’s not hard to do when you believe in the product because when you believe in your product it’s OK to want to help others with it.

If you target your audience (niche) well and understand their problems they’ll listen to you even when you have a sales email because you’ve built trust. You give them good value and the return.

Regarding a sample of my emails … I don’t think I can do that right now … but there will be plenty of examples in the next release of the course coming shortly.

cheers.

I’m planning to release the new LTT course in about 6 weeks.

The reason I’ve been a little remiss in my blogging here is because I’ve been so busy building a couple other niches to use as case studies in my the new release of the LTT course.

Those case studies are nearing completion and I’m now focused on building out the course so it shouldn’t be long now.

To Answer your question about first place ranking for “Learn Affiliate Marketing” would take more than what I have available in a comment and will be covered in detail on the course.

However I can tell you it has a lot to do with internal linking. Get as many people to firend you as possible in squidoo and favorite you and the internal backlinks will be very powerful.

cheers,

Just want to ask you when your new LTT course will become available and how you have managed to be the first in google for learn affiliate marketing course.

I`m working with aff marketing, build websites, have first google positions but still i don`t make any money.

Please give me your advice.

Thanks,
Octavian

Just want to know when the new long tail treasure course will be available.
Another thing if you want to told me how you achieve first google position for learn affiliate marketing.

…and i need a personal advice from you.with that.

I have setup a website a few time ago that promotes a product. Using my seo techniques my website was # 3 in the front page of google for keyword ” product name” and ” product name review” but i still don`t make any money.

What is your advice with that? What I most do -keep in mind that I don`t have an opt-in list.

Can I make money if I DON`T use Google Adwords or another PPC?

Can I just ask how big your list is for the Aug 13th payout. Are we talking like 50k in the list or what. I have about 3k in my list now and while I have made about 30 sales of a product - I think a 1% conversion rate sure ain’t great.

The whole thing of how to email properly to your list is not easy to master. I have been sending some great tips to my list and yet I feel I should be getting a much better conversion rate when I send out a soft promotion.

Can I ask what did you do to get such a high payout ?

1. I myself try & not come across one bit salesy and find this works a bit but not easy to do right

2. Would you be able to give a sample of something without giving away your niche about how you went about it.

Very good question.

As you know people are making money is almost every niche imaginable … however, if you REALLY want to make a lot of money you need to be sure you stick to one of the 3 main mega niches

1) Make Money
2) Health and Fitness
3) Relationships

IM would obviously fall into the Money niche.

If the niche you are considering is going to solve a problem that falls into one of these 3 niches then you are at least on the right track.

I’ve seen people just starting out trying to sell things like knitting manuals etc …

I’m sure some people are buying, but not a heck of a lot.

Also, think a little laterally too … for instance the money niche isn;t just about making money but solving people money problems … which could include things like credit repair, bankruptcy protection, home refinancing etc…

The trading industry (stocks, forex, options, futures etc …) is always a profitable niche, even in bad economic times.

Also, I think with the aging population there are going to be some huge opportunities for products and services for seniors. You may not think that there are enough seniors online … but their kids are online and who do you think will be taking care of them when they’re 90?

cheers,

There is no doubt that you have to have a list.
And IM list is a good one to profit from, especially these days.
What niches may you recommend beside IM niche to build a list
that will be profitable as much as IM list?

Thanks,
Alexander.

Thanks!

Eben Pagan talks about “the speed of implementation” which is a principle that the faster you implement or take action on a new concept or technique the faster you learn it and it becomes just another part of your toolbox.

Too often we learn some new concept but tell ourselves “I’ll do something with it later”. Then when later comes around we can;t remember it well and have to either look it all up again or we simply don’t do it.

It’s an extremely inefficient way to learn and grow in any aspect of our lives.

Obviously we can’t always take action on something right away, but as soon as possible is the next best thing.

Also, if it’s something that takes us “off our path” then just don’t do it at all.

The information overload is a problem when building any business online and IM is the worst I’m sure!

So if the new shinny thing you just heard about is completely not going to take you closer to your goal then don’t do it.

cheers,
Todd

Thanks or the comments!

Neither this promotion or the one in my previous post were from the IM niche.

In fact I make very little money from the IM niche. The only time I ever mail out to the IM niche is if it’s for a product or course that I’m in myself. Since I’m only use a or are in a handful of programs I don’t email out much to the IM lists.

I know it seems that all the money is being made in IM but that’s just not the case.

The reason people new marketers don;t see all the money being made in other niches is because they’re more likely to be on more IM lists than say … skateboarding, or mountain climbing.

The IM niche is very very competitive and in my opinion not the best place for new marketers to start.

So many people get so tired of the emails they get promoting products that they stop reading them.

This entirely the WRONG thing to do. What better examples of how to interact with your list than from the guys making millions a year doing it.

One thing I do is to make a new folder for each “guru” I come across and then just start filing their emails in the folder. After a while you’ll have a whole library of some of the best email promotion material on the planet … all for free.

Todd
