I thought you might like this free trick of mine for creating additional splash (list building) pages for virtually ANY online niche…

After you’ve found a hot affiliate product that you want to promote, such as a Clickbank product, use the headline (and possibly the sub heading) from the product owner’s main sales page, as the ad copy to almost instantly create YOUR splash page!

Just MAKE SURE to get permission from the site owner before using their headline (ad copy). If you mention you’re an affiliate of theirs, they are almost *certain* to let you go ahead and
grab their headline for use with your splash page since you’re promoting their product!

It’s been well proven that some of the most effective splash pages are little more than:

1) A headline offering a compelling benefit.

2) An optional subheading support the main headline.

3) An opt-in box (and privacy notice).

You’re getting both 1 and 2 above “done for you” by using the ad copy from the product owner’s sales page. Sound simple? It is! But like I said, it’s PROVEN to work, and that’s what’s important.

On the “backend”, after people have signed up for your list, it’s very easy to automatically
direct them to the corresponding product that you’re promoting as an affiliate (ie, the page
you “stole” your headline/ad copy from to create your splash page).

To build your page, I recommend an HTML editor such as Frontpage (which you can get for $20 on eBay), Dreamweaver, or the FREE Kompozer software.

And you’ll need an FTP software such as FileZilla (also FREE!) to upload your finished splash page.

Your autoresponder service (such as Aweber or GetResponse) will provide the opt in form code, that you simply copy and paste into your splash page to capture the e-mail addresses of your subscribers.

Of course you’ll need a good web host, and domain name as well, but these days you can hosting for $5 a month, and a “.info” domain for $2 per YEAR.

What I love about this trick is the simplicity of it – being able to set up splash pages in ANY niche in as little as 10 minutes each!

A good headline can take hours or even DAYS to write, and even longer to test for conversions. It’s said that a good headline can account for up to 80% of the success of a sales letter…

So by applying a proven headline from the product owner’s sales page to your own splash page, you’re ETHICALLY “piggy backing” on their hard work and testing, and using it to further build *your* e-mail list.

By the way, just as you should focus on multiple streams of *income*, you should also be focused on building your list in *multiple* ways. The more subscribers you have “funneling” into your autoresponder account from various methods, channels, and websites, the better!

Does the idea of selling information products on the Internet appeal to you?

It does to GL, one of my subscribers. But she is hesitating about whether to even start.

GL is worried that there are already more than enough people hawking e-books, DVDs, and courses on the Internet.

“Isn’t the Internet already overcrowded with a million info-marketers selling look-alike products on everything from dating to real estate?” GL asked me the other week.

“Aren’t I getting into the game too late to carve out a piece of the Internet profit pie for myself?”

It’s a fair question. And the answer is: yes and no.

Yes, you are getting into the game a little later than some of your peers.

But so what?

The old saying “better late than never” is true.

And in fact, there is still a huge opportunity to make your fortune online.

Newbie Internet marketers despair that there is too much competition on the web and therefore no room for them.

What they do not understand is that the information business is not competitive in the way most other businesses are.

For instance, a consumer shops and makes a decision to buy a certain model washing machine when her old machine breaks down, just as my wife did months ago.

If the consumer chooses your brand or buys from your store, you have her money.

And all the other washing machine manufacturers and retailers have lost the chance to sell to her for at least a decade.

That’s because she only needs one washing machine…and new machines typically last at least 10 years.

But the buying of information products is a bit different. It’s more like the video game market than the appliance market.

Kids just don’t buy and play one video game: they buy game after game and never stop.

They are video game junkies. And they’ll spend a small fortune feeding their “habit”.

It’s the same with buyers of how-to information products.

Consumers of info-products are “information junkies”.

They buy many information products including e-books, DVDs, webinars and e-courses on their favorite topics.

That means customers will buy your information in addition to your competition’s info-products, not instead of.

The first thing you should do if you are thinking of selling information products online about a particular topic is to Google that subject.

If there is no one else selling information products on that topic, you have no competition.

But that’s actually a bad sign. Why?

The fact that there is no one else doing it probably means others have tried and found no demand.

On the other hand, there are some topics that, when you Google them, it seems like there is an almost infinite number of sources for information on those topics…and you despair of how you can ever break through the clutter.

The answer is to narrow your focus: find a niche within that broad topic—a subtopic that (a) people want to study and (b) about which there is a scarcity of good content.

For instance, “make money on the Internet” is an overcrowded topic, one I would not recommend you go into as a generalist today.

But there is still room for niche products centered around making money on the Internet.

For instance, I saw one product recently that told everything you need to know about marketing yourself and your product on Facebook.

If you are an Internet marketer, doesn’t that sound like something you should learn?

Let’s say you come up with a narrow niche topic that you don’t think is overcrowded.

Do some research to make sure Internet users are searching for information on that topic.

You can do this by checking keyword phrases related to that topic (e.g. “marketing on Facebook”) and seeing how many people searched those keywords on Google this month.

Use a keyword research and discovery tool like WordTracker.

Once you determine your topic and niche, you then need an actual information product to sell.

And one thing that stops many aspiring Internet information marketers from getting started is that the idea of creating their own information product intimidates them.

But in reality, it’s not all that hard. Trust me.

In fact, it takes only 5 simple steps to create your own information products from scratch.

And my home study course, “Creating Information Products That Sell Online“, covers all 5 steps in great detail.

Bob Bly is the author of “World’s Best Copywriting Secrets” and has written copy for more than 100 companies including IBM, Boardroom, Medical Economics and AT&T. He is the author of more than 75 books and a columnist for Target Marketing, Early To Rise and The Writer. McGraw-Hill calls him “America’s top copywriter”.

Article writing is an excellent way to promote your business online; almost anyone can do it and it is very effective. Articles are versatile because you can write about almost anything you can think of and start to get traffic to your offers. Given below are 3 article writing tips that will prove to be highly helpful if you’re aiming at creating quality articles.

Try to structure the information you write about in a way that keeps people reading. Don’t bore them to death. Oftentimes people search for some specific information they feel will help them in some way. But that doesn’t mean you bore them by giving out content that’s dry and uninteresting. There’s nothing wrong with studying successful article writers, and then you can get ideas for your own writing expression.

Just relax and learn to write in the way you feel, and that will help your personality come out. You know you have your own unique personality, and then you just write in your own style of expression. When you write in your own style, then your articles will become unique. If you get everything else right, then your articles will perform much better. We’ve heard this a thousand times, but it’s true. Sure, you can optimize your articles for keywords, but it’s more important to write to your reader. It’s not as hard as you think to focus on SEO and forget that people will be reading your articles, too. If people laugh at what you’ve written, or they cannot understand what you’ve written; then why bother if that traffic is important.

When you write high quality articles, you have done your research and are writing in your own words and thoughts. It’s good to make notes, but when it comes down to writing you need to just write it out as you have understood the material. First of all, this will slow down your writing speed to a great extent. Overall, the even flow of the article that should be there will not be there, and it will read awkwardly. You will always discover, or notice, that things just go much better when you ignore all doubts about anything and start writing and don’t stop until it’s done. You edit and proof read and stress and fret only after you’re finished with the first draft. Finally, most people believe that article writing is hard but when you know the specific techniques to save time you can make the process a lot more efficient. Your goal for every article you write is to get your readers to take a particular course of action. With more practice you will find that you are able to write articles faster than before.

Mike Koenigs and Pam Hendrickson has officially launched an exciting new program that will not only train you but take you through the practical process of building an info-product business.

Mike is no stranger to Internet marketers. He is the co-owner of the 8-figure online blockbuster Traffic Geyser and the mastermind of some of the biggest online launches in our industry to date.

Some people would say behind every successful man is a woman. I’m not referring to Anthony Robbin’s wife. For over 20 years, Pam Hendrickson is THE person behind all of Tony Robbins’ content, products and services.

Using her expertise, she now teams up with Mike to produce a complete 7-step, 7-week online course in the same detailed, compelling, usable formats that made Tony Robbins’ products such best-selling and award-winning stuff.

“MAKE, MARKET, LAUNCH IT” takes people through an easy-to-follow process:

• Finding their ideal target market
• Creating an irresistible offer for that market
• Producing a product that fulfills the promise of their offer

Each of the 7 modules, to be released weekly on the membership site, includes:

• 5-7 video training sessions with Pam and/or Mike
• A thorough, easy-to-follow action guide for each session (to support step-by-step implementation)
• Templates, examples and worksheets (these are not just 1-page Word documents; we’re talking in-depth Keynote and PowerPoint files, detailed Excel spreadsheets and comprehensive swipe files—the stuff all of us would have loved to have gotten our hands on early in the game)
• Product maps that show the specific process to follow to get the fastest results for each step (these alone are worth the entire investment in the program)

While they go over 15 different formats you can use to create your platform and product funnel, the focus is on the 7-step system and process necessary to successfully produce and launch any product, in any form.

There are 7 weekly Q&A live calls (also posted on the site) to correspond with each of the modules as they are released.

They also have bonus interviews with experts in the field (people you’ll want to hear from) and skill trainings on everything including copywriting, design, video production, live events and curriculum design. There’s outsourcing and crowdsourcing training and pretty much everything a person needs to successfully create and promote their online information product business.

The program also covers what NOT to do so people don’t get stuck working on things that aren’t making money or making a difference)

Every customer also gets a ticket to the 2½-day MAKE, MARKET, LAUNCH IT ‘live’ event in April 2012, in San Diego.

There are few Internet marketers who aren’t aware of the importance of a targeted list of subscribers, which is why it is critical to increase the number of subscribers you have. In this article, we will be discussing three effective techniques that can be put into use right away to grow your list of subscribers.

If you want to get more targeted visitors to sign up for your list, one very effective tactic is to collaborate with e-zine publishers and marketers in your niche. Since you are leveraging someone else’s list, this is a joint venture and it can add massive numbers of new subscribers to your list virtually instantly. So for example, if you’re publishing an e-zine about “yoga training”, you can get in touch with other e-zine publishers or marketers in that same niche and ask them to promote your e-zine in exchange of you doing the same for them.

It’s a win-win situation here because they get the exposure to their e-zine through your list and you get it through them. It is also commonly referred to as an ad swap, but since you are not only expanding your list but also entering into a partnership with another marketer, joint venture seems to be the more appropriate description. Secondly, if you desire to get more subscribers, then you should really consider testing a lot of templates and designs. Testing is the key to success here because it will give you a clear picture of what’s giving you the best response. There are many methods you can use to maintain a record of how your opt-in form is performing and if it will be a success. You can analyze your form by accessing the free Google Analytics tool to see if your have converting traffic. If you build your list with Aweber, it already tracks traffic. Once you start playing around for your form design, you’ll come to understand that making even small changes to your sign-up form’s design can boost your conversion rates. So commit to plenty of testing because it is needed to keep your conversion rates high.

You can utilize the power of your e-mail signature to let people know about your new newsletter so that you can grow your subscriber list. Add your signature to each and every e-mail that you forward so that you have the possibility of getting a response for just everyone that you come into contact via e-mail. This article clearly shows that consistent action is key to making a time consuming process faster such as increasing your subscriber list. You will generate excellent results if you implement these strategies on a regular basis.

Creating a blog is easy. Even getting the content is easily done if you know how to write. But the largest challenge for a blogger is getting traffic to see their posts. Face it, if you don’t have interested readers at your blog, it will seem a little deserted. One of the simplest and most efficient methods to get specific readers to your blog posts consistently is to get good search engine traffic. That’s right; if you can funnel in this organic traffic back to your blog then you will never fall short of new visitors.

There are a variety of tools to help you create videos easily, such as Jing, Animoto and Camtasia. If you want your own voice in the video, you can use your cell phone for this purpose. Video distribution services make it simple to send your completed videos to Youtube, Yahoo Video and other video sharing sites.

Your blog will go places if you simply add in a few keywords while still focusing on your readers. Therefore, when you are creating a post you need to remember that the search engines are just as important as the audience. In conclusion, this article clearly shows that SEO is important for blogs.

All experienced marketers know and understand the immense value of effective copywriting. High response, converting copy is what sells anything and everything, and all businesses depend on that. However, it does take some time before you can actually write like a pro. It is not academic writing, not in any sense, so just remember that. You’ll need to have an understanding of copywriting principles and lots of practice before you’ll be doing it with any measure of competence. What follows is a discussion about on copywriting tips and suggestions to whet your appetite for the craft.

As you write your copy, almost all the time you want to discuss the product benefits, and do it as if talking just to one person. You will realize greater conversions through the use of social proof, and that means showing other satisfied customers in your sales material. Use testimonials as much as you can, and do be sure they are real because it’s illegal to use fake ones. Your readers will be full of doubts and suspicions to begin with, so you must build your case and establish trust. You need to be careful how you go about obtaining testimonials, and the best kind of all are unsolicited and real. You’ll have a greater impact with those that have some good and informative details on how the product helped them. Of course if you’re asking for an expert’s opinion, then you’ll need to furnish them with a copy or sample of your product. It’s not always possible, but if you’re lucky enough to get someone to send a video testimonial, then that’s pure gravy because they’re powerful and work well. Taking the risk off from the shoulder of your potential customer will increase the chances of getting sales. The most common method to do that is with an iron clad guarantee that removes the risk. So many newer marketers are scared of being taken by a customer and are intimidated to offer the guarantee. It’s certainly worth doing, though, because you’ll simply make more sales with it than you would without it. The thing to do is simply forget about that concern because the incidence of it happening is truly rare. Try to keep it all simple and uncomplicated. Here’s a small tip: the longer guarantee time you will have for your product, the less refund requests you will get.

Don’t keep your copy dry, try using a bit of humor to spice it up. People are busy and really tend to want the facts, so it’s a judgment call to be sure. There is a big difference between serious copy and stale copy. Learn the difference.

If your goal is to become a good copywriter, you can achieve this, but it will take time and dedication to get there. Some copywriters who are paid quite a bit for their services are actually self-taught, and had no special training or even a marketing background. If you want to get better, you have to practice and make progress at your own pace. If you want to be able to make money whenever you need it, copywriting is the skill that gives you this power.

I have so many different software on my computer and belong to so many different link networks, that if I actually used all of them, I would probably be top of the search engines for all keywords that ever existed.

If you as a merchant are already running an affiliate program for your product, you ought to comprehend that a large number of people who join up for your program will never be heard from again. You can, however, ensure that your affiliates will be more productive by staying in regular contact with them.

Remind them of their usernames and passwords, and tell them where to log in to test their stats or get creative. Whenever a brand new product becomes offered or you change your policy and procedures, make certain you let your affiliates know.

That’s your best key to motivation: simply stay in touch. Keep an eye fixed on who your best-performing affiliates are and contact them regularly. Also know who your most non-performing affiliates are, and make certain you stay in touch with them and discuss how they can better work with you as well.

The number one reason that inexperienced affiliates do poorly is because they’re not receiving any help or leadership from the merchant. This may easily be changed by writing a training course, which you can make it available to your affiliates at no charge.

Make sure that you retain your banner ads and sales copy current. You should additionally provide new material for your affiliates to use on a daily basis; the more resources the better. Just offering your affiliates one banner ad and one text link wouldn’t really cut it in today’s marketplace.

Provide your affiliates salesletters, reviews, ads, banners of different sizes and styles, and anything else that comes to mind. Make sure that your affiliates know that this material exists and can freely use it for promotion. Continuously hear your affiliates, and acquire the proper feedback on your material.

Set up and run scheduled virtual meetings. Set up chatrooms where your affiliates can attend virtual meetings on a weekly basis. There are lots of ways in which you can keep your virtual conferences fascinating like having guest speakers, for instance. Make certain that all of their queries get answered.

Giving your affiliates the credit they deserve is also important. Each month, mention who your best-performing affiliates are in your affiliate newsletter. Offer small bonuses to those who perform well, and you’ll be able to even set up a payment structure that rewards higher commissions for bigger volumes of sales.

Continually strive to think of anything that you can do to help your affiliates along. Be proactive with assisting them. If they are making money, you have succeeded in making more hands-off cash as well. Their success directly translates to your success.

You need to adjust the widget and put in a bold title that suggests that the reader follows you to your Twitter page.

If you have the desire to do it, you can turn the idea into an interactive concept by placing a ‘live’ widget on your This will bring your Twitter updates to your blog the minute that you create them.

If you are looking for people who share similar hobbies and interests as you, then you shouldn’t hesitate to use Twitter directories to find them. Since people are grouped by interests, these directories offer an excellent opportunity to find new followers. Some example directories include Twellow and WeFollow. If you want to maximize the potential of these directories, then you will have to have a listing in them first. You will then need to find users you believe might be interested in your page by looking through all the categories. Jot these users down so that you can follow them as this is how they will follow you back.

If you want people to pay attention to you then you need to tweet about topics that are current and hot. So that you can send out tweets when the time is right, you need to make sure you are up to date with all these topics. Since people are inquisitive by nature, they tend to click on trending topics. Usually they go through all the tweets related to these topics, so it’s an effective way to grow your exposure and talk about things that are currently interesting to people. One of your principle aims should be to attract the interest of as many people as possible. Above all, it should now be apparent after that article that getting more Twitter followers is more about common sense than anything else. If you apply the above tips and learn from your experience, it won’t take you much time before you reach a high follower count. As long as you put in the required effort and you’re willing to keep plugging away even in the face of failure, you will slowly see your follower count rise until it’s amassed a number you can be happy with. And then after a while you’ll see that the speed of people following you will increase with time.

There’s nothing anywhere that beats solid sales copy that gets the selling job done. Regardless of what you sell, you can’t do it without the help of sales copy that converts. Be prepared to spend some time and sweat if you want to learn how to do it. Copywriting is totally different, in so many ways, from any other form of writing. It takes a great deal of focus and understanding to create compelling copy. We want to share just a few copywriting tips with you, and we hope it sparks your desire to learn more.

The best sales copy is the kind that has an emotional impact on readers. You have to write words that can persuade your prospects that you have an answer or solution to their needs. You need emotionally compelling copy that will cause them to buy your product on the spot, without too much thought. You can’t write copy that’s monotonous, it has to be compelling and fascinating. Remember that you’re not writing a random piece of information here but content that is aimed at getting the prospect to take action. This doesn’t mean you should lie or exaggerate about your product; stay within ethical bounds. You have to appeal to their emotions, while remaining truthful. You should develop a connection with the reader by showing that you empathize with him or her. By doing this, you can get them to put aside their suspicions and feel comfortable with you. Taking the risk off from the shoulder of your potential customer will increase the chances of getting sales. A common way to do this is to offer them a risk free guarantee. The less experienced marketers tend to be afraid to offer a great guarantee by thinking they’ll get ripped-off. However that is really not very common in most markets, and the increased sales you will get by having the guarantee make any risk worth it. You will have very few people who will take advantage of the guarantee and misuse it, but this can be easily ignored. But the simply-stated guarantee works fine. Here’s a cool one to use, make your guarantee period long…like a year, no kidding, and the effect it has is to almost eliminate refunds.

Don’t forget to use lots of bullet points in your sales copy. When you write about the product benefits, not the features, then you’ll put them into bullet points. Bullets are great because they contribute to the easy readability of the copy, and they’re easy to digest and understand. Besides that, keeping your copy organized will give it a neat, professional look and make it easy for the prospect to reach to a buying decision.

Copywriting is a difficult art that takes regular study and practice if you want to excel at it. If you want to get better, you have to practice and make progress at your own pace. Being able to write good copy is the most important skill you can have in the world of Internet Marketing.

All experienced marketers know and understand the immense value of effective copywriting. Regardless of what you sell, you can’t do it without the help of sales copy that converts. If you’re interested to learn how to write good copy, then you need to know it takes time to learn. It’s not the kind of writing you did in high school or college. It takes a great deal of focus and understanding to create compelling copy. So we’ll get you started with just a handful of copywriting tips you can learn.

One of the oldest tricks that copywriters use to convince the prospect is to tell a compelling story. Think about the movie industry. Just in the US alone, it’s a “multi-billion dollar a year” industry, and it’s based on telling stories, right? People read stories for all sorts of reasons, but one thing is the ability to see themselves in the plot and form a connection with the characters. People connect with story characters in all kinds of ways, both for good and not-so-good reasons. Obviously, stories in copywriting are highly condensed, but you can incorporate the same emotion tugging words that make people respond in a certain way. If you search hard enough, it’s easy to pinpoint some kind of story in any business selling a product or service. Whatever you find or come up with, take a good look at it and see how you may be able to use it. A well-written and integrated story always has some positive effect on people.

If your product warrants writing long copy, try not to cause your reader to become confused about anything. In other words, it has to be easily scanned.
