Is There A New Clickbank?
Recently I’ve been hearing that there is a new place where affiliate marketers are going as an alternative or additional income source to Clickbank.
This place has been around for years but in the recession that we’re in it has now taken off like a rocket! Affiliates love it because it is much easier to sell products and services there because the traffic is internal, unlike Clickbank.
So what is this new Internet Marketing Mecca? It is the Warrior Forum…
The Warrior Forum is a place where people go to learn the ins and outs of Internet Marketing. But what is more incredible is that it has a section called the warriors special offers section or WSO for short. This is where any forum member can pay a small fee to post their product for sale.
WSO’s must be priced below your normal price if you are selling it elsewhere and it must be your own product and not PLR (Private Label Rights). It is very common to see WSO’s that teach you how to make money online priced at only $7. Some will begin at a certain price and are run as a dime sale where the price increases after every sale or every few sales.
By about now you are probably thinking that $7 isn’t very much to make off of a product that you’ve poured your blood sweat and tears into but you would be wrong. WSO’s that start out this low can easily make into the thousands in only a few short hours but that’s not it. You now own an asset, the buyers list!
With a buyers list you can now promote other people’s WSO’s through the Warrior Forums WSO Pro Affiliate Program. Like Clickbank it’s free to be an affiliate and with a buyers list you can make a lot of money.
The Warrior Forum is now making millions of dollars per month and there is talk that it will be the new Clickbank. Be sure to check it out for yourself because the information that you can learn there is extremely valuable and the money that you can make there is substantial…
List Building Tips
In today’s post I’m going to give you some list building tips that will save you both time and money.
If you’ve heard it once you’ve heard it a thousand times; “The money is in the list.” But what if you don’t yet have a list? How are you going to get at the money that is in it?
First of all the money is in the relationship that you have with the list. You could have the biggest list around but if they don’t like you they will either unsubscribe or ignore you all together.
The best list building tip that I can give you is to give it away. What I mean is the money! That’s right, the money! Let me explain…
One of the fastest and best ways to get a great responsive list is to get it from someone else that has a great relationship with them already. This is actually easier than it sounds.
What you need to do is create something like an ebook or a product and allow a list owner to sell it to their list. The secret is that you let the list owner keep 100% of the money and you get the buyers list.
A buyers list is so much more important than a prospect list because you know that every one of those people are action takers and will spend money online for something that they want. Most will tell you that a buyer is 15 times more likely to spend money than an interested prospect.
It doesn’t end there. Now that you have a buyers list you must cultivate your relationship with the people on that list. Let them get to know you by providing good content, not just sales pitch after sales pitch.
Now rinse and repeat this process over and over again because people will opt out of your list no matter how good you are. That is just how people are. Always keep building for that reason. The trick is to get more people joining your list than leaving your list, and that just goes back to what I was saying about being good at connecting with people so that they know like and trust you.
There you have it. Those are a few list building tips that will help you get started in Internet Marketing and thrive…
Easy App Creator
Apps are the next big thing! They are here now and they are absolutely killing it. It doesn’t matter if you are an Apple or Android user; you probably have a ton of them already.
A lot of people would really like to have their own app built but it can really cost you a bundle depending on what you are looking for.
When you think of apps most people think about something like Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja and other game oriented apps that get a lot of publicity. The truth is that there are a lot of other types of apps out there than just games.
It is believed that one day apps will replace web browsers as the way that we will access the Internet and communicate online. You are already seeing this now with all of the mobile apps that connect to social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
The problem is that most apps cost thousands of dollars to build because it takes hiring a programmer or a company to build them for you. That is… It used to cost you thousands of dollars to create apps before but now there are some options for building certain types of them yourself for free or almost free.
I was on a webinar recently and they mentioned a great website that has an easy app creator. It is called Buzz Touch pictured below.
At BuzzTouch.com you can get started by creating a free account and creating a cool app that you or your clients can get a lot of use out of.
From what I can see your best bet is to create apps for offline clients, which is huge right now. You can make them a great app for a brick and mortar store that will both bring in new clients and bring back old ones.
So check out Buzz Touch and be sure to return and let me know what you think about their easy app creator.
How Sunscreen Relates To Internet Marketing?
I know that is a pretty crazy title but watch the video below and things will become clearer.
There are more life lessons in that video than I can count but one hit me the hardest overall. Do the absolute best in life with what you have been given and you can’t help but to succeed…
The Death of Webinars?
Could the death of webinars be right around the corner? Frankly it depends on the niche. In the Internet Marketing niche people tend to wear out quickly with the latest things because once one marketer discovers something that works well, they tell others and then everyone jumps on the bandwagon.
In other niches like knitting, basket weaving, etc., it takes a bit more time to become saturated and the prospects won’t usually see the onslaught of every marketer blasting their email boxes with tons of emails. So outside of IM webinars are still working as well as ever.
On the other hand, some of my fellow marketers have seen a slight drop in webinar attendance in recent months. This is probably because people have caught on that there will be a pitch at the end of the webinar for a product or service.
Having a pitch at the end of your webinar isn’t a bad thing (after all we do have to make a living) you just have to make sure that the content that is on the webinar is extremely solid. People that attend need to really learn something that they can use because if you give them something great for free they will be more inclined to buy something from you now or later.
One good thing to do is to give away something of real value on live webinars in order to boost your live attendance. Live attendance is beginning to drop because people feel that they can just catch the replay. Replays are great but nothing beats the excitement of something live!
So the death of webinars might be a bit premature but if we don’t continue to learn and improve as marketers, we might see the death of our profits…
