Been a very busy week here between two projects, getting ready for the the holidays and planning for next year. Just a reminder and will probably be a lot more about this in the next few weeks but planning is extremely important. More on that later in this edition.

Now to the blogs (besides this one.)

What’s New

Well The TE Guy, Jon Olson finally launched a new program that was not a traffic exchange. Going back to his roots it is called The Pizza Plan. A short concise report that lays out the budget and the tools that Jon personally used to go from being a pizza flipper to a six figure business owner. It is also rebrandable and makes an ideal giveaway to help build your list and set my favorite thing, affiliate land mines.

Last night I did a teleseminar with Liz Tomey. As you can see from the titles on the posts below she rocks. What I love about Liz is that she cares about her students and always supplies a ton of kick butt content. You can still get the replays today from the links on the post below. You can check out what Liz is offering and the huge amount of free content she has supplied at 1 in 90. She will help you kick start your business.

Finally, I have not mentioned it but I did get a call from Steve Roye tipping me off that Bishop Anders had something new. Now you may not have heard the name but Bishop is someone that is flying under the radar. He also knows good bourbon and turned me on to a great bourbon last June at JV Alert.

He has just launched a new software and you need to check it out. I use some of Bishop’s soft ware and this one will give you an aha moment. Read the whole sales letter and you will understand the power of this software. Check it out here. I will be talking more about this next week.

Coming very soon

Like tomorrow even . Soren Jordansen has had John Merrick working feverishly coding their next new program. Now considering this pair created the Floating Action Button and Tweet My Blog this will be a very user friendly program that everyone will want to use. Look for more on that tomorrow. I’ve been playing with it and you are going to like it.

Don’t forget to check out Bishop’s new software Desktop Genius.

As always your questions and comments are welcomed.

Well we have done an overview of the total system now it is time to get into details. We did cover mind set earlier at least to the extent that it will be covered here.

Picking your niche I referred you to a whole set of blog posts at Amplification Marketing News on niche research. No point in duplicating that series here.

Getting organized has also been covered. If you haven’t picked up Free Mind and gotten Bob Jenkin’s course you should do that now. It will keep you on track.

Now we get into the offer. There are 5 parts of this and we will cover 3 of the 5 here. The other 2 are already covered in an excellent manner by my good friend Soren Jordansen and quite truthfully there is not much I could add to what he already has available. those will be linkable from the list below.

• Who is your target?
• Why should they subscribe?
• Create a squeeze page
• Create a follow up series of emails
• Set up the tracking

The hardest part is understanding exactly who your target is. You want to attract the person who just needs more and more of what your topic is.

Okay lets look at a golfer for this example. I personally chase the little white ball around (can’t call what I do golf). However, that does not mean that I am not always looking for information and products that will allow me to improve to where it could be called golf.

What would I be interested in?

• A way to read greens better (gotta stop those 3 putts)
• A way to hit the ball straight (get a way for me to do that and you will make some money
• How to increase the distance I get when I drive (mine is pathetic)

These are just a few things that not only duffers like me would like to know how to improve but even good golfers would.

Now if this is the person you want to target what can you offer that will make me just have to have it.

Okay here is where you start to put your offer together. You can create any of the following reports.

• 5 Ways To Never Misread A Green Again
• 3 Easy Steps To Straighten Your Drive
• Add 20% More Distance To Your Drive In 20 Minutes

Now if this is a topic you love (you did follow the niche research didn’t you?) you can easily create a report like that. You can use Open Office and write the report and make it into a pdf for a free way to create this.

Or if you aren’t comfortable with how to format a report like this properly there are software programs that will walk you through a fill in the blank in order to create the report for you. One of the better ones I have used is Special Report Generator.

Now you are not limited to just reports. In this case maybe you have a new golf ball that will get me 20% more distance. You can offer to send me one. Would I sign up for that? You betcha.

See the item you offer can be a report, a physical object, a piece of software but the main thing is it MUST be something that your target customer just must have.

Now you need to create a squeeze page (a way for people to get on your mailing list with the offer they JUST MUST HAVE.) that Soren has covered and then a follow up email series that will allow you to continue to build the relationship.

You will need some type of list management software and for me the only choice is AWeber. They are one if not the best for delivery and they have great tutorials to walk you through the technical aspects.

Finally as you are setting up these pages you will want to include tracking. Google Analytics has some great tools that will allow you to do this and there are quite a few tutorials there to show you how to set it up. Leter you may want to use more robust services and we will cover those when we get to tracking.

Make sure that you are using different signup forms for each squeeze page that you use. This way you can track the results from each and see which works and which don’t. You also need to track the results from your follow up series. One of the reasons I recommend AWeber is that they can track all of your results from your follow up series and you can create and track the signups from each subscribe form you create.

Tracking is very important and needs to be set up from the beginning. You will always want to work on improving your offer as you go along and if you don’t have the tracking installed you won’t know what is working.
