Are you setting your promotions apart?

Mike Paetzold — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 11:13:26 +0000

Yesterday was a long day for me. My son had a tumor removed from his head so I spent all day at Hershey Medical Center. Looks like everything went very well so despite being a very long day it was a good one.

When I got home last night I went right to the Thursday night conference at Get Referrals Fast where my partner, Jerry Reeder was doing a seminar on standing out during a launch.

As most of our members of Get Referrals Fast use traffic exchanges we used the launch on Tuesday of TE Command Post and how we differentiated our offer from the 100 other jv partners that were promoting it.

You can see exactly what we did and how we did it on the blog post I did about TE Command Post on launch day.

We used a video walk through of the features and created a very unique bonus for those that upgraded through our links. It did a couple of things.

We showed the value of the service with the video and gave people a reason to get it from us rather than the other people promoting it. We bought a domain and set up a special page to highlight our offer.

These are not new techniques but taking the time to actually do them makes a big difference in how to set yourself apart. Especially during launches this is extremely important.

Here is another example from my friend Joel Osborne. I just released a new product on Wednesday – Profitable Blog Steps. One of the swipe emails I created for my launch partners talked about the old adage How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

Joel took that a step further and I recommend you go see what he did. His promotion is below.

Subject: Mike, watch out for those angry pink elephants… from Joel Osborne

How do you eat a pink elephant Mike?

Oddly enough, I have an answer to that in a short video…

http://instantvideowebpages.com/play/elephant

Whether you are trying to eat an elephant or if you
are trying to set up an affiliate blog to make some sales,
there are some important things to keep in mind.

Enjoy
Joel Osborne

Don’t worry if you don’t have a lot of time right now,
the video is very short, but feel free to bookmark and share it.

Do you think his promotion stood out from the other affiliates promoting Profitable Blog Steps?

It is important to do things that set you apart in your promotions.

Week In Review – May 22, 2010

Mike Paetzold — Sat, 22 May 2010 10:25:00 +0000

Been another busy week here as summer is just around the corner. Next week end is the “beginning” of the summer season here with Memorial Day arriving. Conventional wisdom says that things online slow down then but I think that is more a matter of our efforts slowing down then a truth.

After all the weather is nicer, it is light later in the evening and there are a lot more outdoor activities and people going on vacation. But…

That only applies to the northern hemisphere because the southern hemisphere is going into winter time with shorter days and less to do.

Your effort is the key no matter what time of year it is.

One of the keys to growing your business is having your own product/s. It gives you a lot of ways to leverage your efforts and using PLR (private label rights) to have your own products is one of the easiest ways.

Having your own products and building your list are the keys to growing your business. Keep your focus and the summer can be an excellent time for you.

This has been a great week for those looking to use PLR with the release of some nice PLR packages. Now off to the blogs.

The Power Of A Product

What’s Hot

Traffic Is King PLR – A new PLR release from Joel Osborne. This can be a perfect product to use for building your list or as a low cost product to start building a buyers list. Very limited numbers left and Joel always outs out quality PLR products.

PLR Gold – Another new PLR release from Edmund Loh. 10 new video PLR products for a very low cost but again a very limited offer.

Using PLR Videos – Too many people do not understand how easy it is to use PLR video products and this course from the PLR Master Doug Champigny will walk you through all of the steps to easily use these products and make them your own.

Get Your First Infoproduct On Clickbank – Clickbank is the largest affiliate market place for info products. It can seem a bit overwhelming to follow all of their steps to use them so a lot of people avoid them but they have the largest affiliate base anywhere. Nicole Dean will simplify this process for you and show you how to get your first product up.

Twitter Time Saver – Twitter has become a big traffic source for me but the key is to be a supplier of good references. Twitter Time Saver will help you do just that without taking a huge amount of your time.

Saturday Seven – This week’s special is PLR to “Basic List Building Strategies” that you can use as a low cost product for building your buyers list or you can use it as a direct list builder. This special offer ends on Monday evening.

That is all for this week. I am off to go visit with my son and his two daughters later today. Hope you have a great week end.

Week In Review – January 16, 2010

Mike Paetzold — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 11:28:32 +0000

Well two weeks into 2010 and I am still trying to write 2009. Old habits die hard but so far it has been a great start to the new year and decade.

Yesterday I did the last post for the blog tour and it has been a great time. While it was a bit of work to crank out an extra 5 posts a week it was good to travel around the internet.

Being publicly accountable had an advantage too. It eliminated procrastination and the need to be perfect. One of the reasons I think it is important to have an accountability partner.

Somehow when you have told someone else what you will be doing it gets done much more often than when you tell yourself.

Now to the blogs this week.

WordPress Made Easy

The PLR Secrets

What’s Hot

Sunday Night Cash Plan – If you want to be able to repurpose your content you need to check this out. Take any article or blog post you have created and easily make the content into a podcast and video to generate more traffic for your site.

Skyrocketing Tactics – Joel Osborne’s new PLR release that shows you exactly how to use resell rights profitably. Getting great reviews on the Warrior Forum and very limited copies so it will keep it’s value. The how to guide on The PLR Secrets blog will show you exactly how to use this.

Power Start 2010 – Doug Champigny has launched an intensive 4 week course to get your business off to a great start this year. First session starts February 1st and will be at a discount to future sessions. Will indeed be intense training but set up to help the person still working full time off line. You can listen to the teleseminar I did with Doug to see if his style fits you here.

Saturday Seven – This week the special product is The A – Z of Super Effect Sales Page. Sales pages that sell are the key to growing your business and this product comes with Master Resell Rights and as always just $7 but only until Monday night.

That is all for this week and look for more quality information now that the blog tour is over. The blog tour has been very good and has increased the number of subscribers to my blogs and rss feeds.

It is a bit of work to put together and follow through with but can be an excellent way to spread your message. If you are considering doing one I strongly recommend you check out Nicole Dean’s Blog World Tour Guide.

Week In Review – January 9, 2010

Mike Paetzold — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 12:00:16 +0000

Wow the new decade is upon us. I started to write 2009 and had to correct it. Guess it has not quite sunk in yet.

The Week In Review is something that I am considering let go as part of the many changes I am doing in my business for this new decade. Not sure yet, but your comments will have a lot of weight so if you enjoy this weekly digest leave a comment below and let me know.

This is the first one of the new year and actually the first one in 3 weeks. I took some time off over the holidays and a lot of that was in planning for the new decade and deciding what was going to stay and what was going to change. Scroll down a post or two and you will see what I am talking about.

One more week left on the blog tour. It has been fun and I do recommend you consider it as the results have been quite good but it does take planning and effort. You can find out more about setting up a blog tour in Nicole Dean’s Blog World Tour Guide

Now to the blogs this week.

Week In Review – October 3, 2009

Mike Paetzold — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 12:34:59 +0000

We are now in month 10 of the year 2009. Where is the time going? Guess I am just getting older faster

Not many blog posts this week because at the end of each quarter I spend time reviewing exactly what has been working and what has not. Taking the time to do this allows me to continue to improve what I am doing.

I do recommend that you make sure that you are tracking your results and step back on occasion to see exactly what is working and to improve those things that are not.

It has been a bit disappointing this week. I like people that take action and it seems that is tough to do for some. I offered a bribe of any of my products for one person to get my readers to take action and no one has claimed it If you are an action takers check out this post and respond.

Week In Review – August 15, 2009

Mike Paetzold — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 04:11:43 +0000

Well it has been a very busy week here in the coal region of PA. Celebrated another birthday, ran a special for it and was lucky enough to have Nicole Dean visit here for the week with 5 great blog posts.

Working hard on the preparation for the Keyword Call on Wednesday. Should be an excellent class.

Now to the blogs.

WordPress Made Easy

The PLR Secrets

Whats New

Keyword Call - This Wednesday will be the first in a series of training calls that Steve Roye and I will be hosting. Topic will be “How to generate traffic drawing keywords using free tools”.

Prime PLR – A great package of PLR from Jimmy D Brown. Now this may be gone if you are reading this later because there are only a limited number of licenses available. One of the better PLR packages I have seen.

Create Your Own Info Product – Another good PLR package with only 100 packages to be sold from Joel Osborne. This one is seriously under priced and I apologize if these are all gone. There were only a few left.

Home Business Gifts – A great no sign up giveaway. Unlike most giveaways you do not need to sign up just to see the gifts. (You will need to sign up to get a specific gift.) Only runs through the 21st with lots of quality products available.

Saturday Seven – This week’s special is Cost Per Action For Newbies. It includes resell rights and will only be available until Monday night. With all of the buzz about CPA networks this week this should be a hot topic.

That’s all for this week.

Manage your time and focus your business

Mike Paetzold — Sun, 31 May 2009 18:06:50 +0000

The biggest problem that most people I talk to have is information overload. This is really easy to succumb to. To avoid it I have been re-visiting things that I know are stumbling blocks for me. By discussing them this should help you.

The first person who has really helped me in this respect is Marlon Sanders. His ezine consistently discusses the actions you need to take and what matters. You can see some of his best by signing up to get the Best Of Marlon Sanders ebook. It is a compilation of some of his best ezines. Then make sure you do what is necessary to make sure you see his ezine and read and apply what he talks about.

The second person that has helped me to get organized and focus on what is important is Robert Plank. His Time Management On Crack has allowed me to pay attention to the things that really matter, The items that will make a return but more importantly to get things done one at a time. Kill the multi-tasking. Keep the focus. Eliminate the outside items while working.

Finally my good friend Joel Osborne and his Twitter prodding with “Have you taken massive action today” tweets. You can follow Joel and have him prod you too.

All of this has caused me to take some of the following steps in just the past week.

I am sorting my email and using the unsubscribe links. If the person does not give me information I can use and I tend to ignore the email most of the time why am I on that list? Doing this has made a big dent on my inbox saving me time. Hey even if you are on my list and you don’t read it or it does not help you then unsubscribe. It removes clutter that stops you from doing the important things.

Create my four must do tasks each day. These do not include any maintenance tasks like email, the support desk, etc. but are 4 tasks that will actually help my business.

For example Thursday most but not all of my list was based around finishing Twitter Time Saver.

Email about teleseminar with Doug Champigny on using Twitter and prep questions (Replay is available here.)
Finish the sales page
Create the download page
Final edit of report

By getting those items done I was able to hold a successful teleseminar, review and test everything for Twitter Time Saver on Friday and launch it on Saturday. All of those tasks were focused on something that can earn me money. Too often we get busy on the 80% that don’t bring results.

Now the regular tasks will get done like my blog posts, answering support inquiries but taking the time to prioritize the things necessary to make money was the key.

So by focusing on a very specific few things and doing them to completion I am able to move things forward faster.

So my new goal is massive action on specific tasks each day that I work. What is yours?

Week In Review – May 16, 2009

Mike Paetzold — Sat, 16 May 2009 11:33:37 +0000

We are now half way through May and the year 2009 seems to be going much faster that I would like. Still not getting as much done as I would like. This was brought to mind by a good friend Joel Osborne and his twitter stream. (You should follow Joel for inspiration.)

He has been sending out quotes like “Have you pushed yourself this week to go beyond your comfort zone?” and “Have you taken massive action today to grow your business?”. Now as much as everyone of us would love the big red Staples Easy Button for our business we all know that it is the action we take that will decide how well we do.

Enough lecture on to the news. Not much from the blogs as I have been concentrating on two new releases at least one of which should go live before next week.

WordPress Made Easy

Whats New

3 Hour Ads - This product is a rarity in that I recommend that everyone get this. Period. Copy is the key to working online whether it is selling your product or building a subscriber list and at less than $20 this covers a few very important parts as well or better than any other copy product I have bought and there have been a few.

PLR 3 Pack -Accused my friend Doug Champigny of going a bit nuts when he released this package as anyone of the three packages is worth more than what he is asking for all 3. These all inclusive packs are perfect for getting started in any of the three niches. – Home Decorating, Tattoos and Law Of Attraction. Think some people have been a bit leery because dealing with 3 packages at once may seem overwhelming. Like anything else just eat it up a bite at a time.

Ticket To Wealth Newsletter – Alan Bechtold is one of the people that every time I go to an event that he is at I make sure to sit down and talk to. He is someone that I always find a money making idea from each time we talk. Check out his newsletter at the price it is a steal.

Freebie Friday has continued but has moved off the blog. If you want to know about Freebie Friday either follow me on Twitter or make sure you are signed up on the newsletter here to receive a notification in your email. Was a really great PLR resource as part of it this week.

Thats all for this week now off to take massive action to keep my business moving.

Week In Review – February 28, 2009

Mike Paetzold — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 13:35:24 +0000

Well two months are done in this year already. Where did the time go? Not sure but things are really rolling along quickly or it just may be being old and bald that makes it seem that way.

Been behind most of this week as I a flu bug kicked my butt and I lost a day resting and then spent a day traveling to honor my ex-mother in law who passed this week. She will be missed but would have been very pleased with the service.

The other thing that has slowed me down this week is implementing the start of my outsourcing. I have outsourced frequently before but this time I am in the process of taking it to the next level using John Jonas ideas in ReplaceMyself.com. Like all new items added into your business this has a learning curve and you actually slow down a bit before you can increase your business.

Probably a lesson though that we all need to consider and remember. Yes the sales letter for each and every product will tell you how easy it is and for most good products it is…

Once you get through the learning curve and apply the information. You will always have a learning curve and application time and all too often we don’t take that time or the effort to get through it. Think about that fact the next time you are looking at the next shiny object and make sure that you have applied the last one before you head off in a new direction. Understand that sometimes it takes a small step backwards (the application time) to move forward.

Well enough pontificating today I guess funerals (and at my age they have become all too regular of an occurrence) makes me look back and rethink things. Off to the blogs.

What is the matter with this picture?

Whats new

Joel Osborne launched his Product Creation Success package and I did a white paper for purchasers on why he would sell so much value for such a low price. If you grab the package send a support request with a copy of your receipt to my help desk and I will send you the download link.

Robert Plank released his new Time Management On Crack product which I reviewed and loved. Not sure what Planky’s thing is with on crack but it is a common theme in his products. Something for inquiring minds to figure out? If you can figure it out let me know as it must be a young whippersnapper thing that is beyond this old bald guy.

Dr Mani released a free report that you don’t even need to opt in for that is worth checking out Business Multiplier. Very powerful ideas and won’t take you long to read. However, like most things the key is to apply them.

Been lots of big launches like the PPC Classroom and Ewen Chia’s book. I have not reviewed any of them but am sure you got pounded with email on them if you are on more than one list.

Will be doing a seminar today at noon if you read this early enough at Affiliate Funnel on Tracking – the key to improvement. Affiliate Funnel is free to join and the weekly seminars are valuable even when I am not the speaker .

Upcoming

Last thing as this has become a huge review this week but Doug Champigny is launching his Free PLR Giveaway Sunday at noon. This is an invitation only event for contributors so there will only be quality new PLR products in there. Can be a great way to get some quality PLR for free. Properly applied (see the continuing theme today ) these can be a great boost to your business.
