List Building - new site launch

If you are, or intend to be, a serious internet marketer, any launch of a new site that can get you more traffic and help build your list has to be checked out.

Instant Profit List went live on May 3 and is now officially in “pre-launch” until it hits 5000 members when it goes fully live. That’s also when the price goes up if you want the full package.

Free memberships are available and these allow you to email 500 members about your offer(s) every 7 days. Paid memberships are available at a knockdown price during the pre-launch period with the aim of getting those 5000 members in double quick time so that the email mailings can begin.

How much would you pay to be able to send 3000 emails every 3 days? That equates to an extra 28500 emails in front of prospective buyers every month! What difference would that make to your business?

During the pre-launch period you have 2 options.

The first upgrade offered is at $67. This gets you 3000 emails every 3 days plus $375 of additional advertising as a bonus.

Decline the first upgrade and you’re offered a downsell at just $37. This still gets you the 3000 emails every 3 days but reduces the bonus advertising to a $200 value.

And let’s be clear, the best bit is that the prices are not per month, not even for the first year but are for A LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP!

If you’ve ever considered taking a paid membership to a list building site before, but had to settle for an inferior free membership due to lack of cash (and who hasn’t?) this is just the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Let’s face it: $37 for a lifetime membership? - it just CAN’T get any cheaper.

Yes, there is also an affiliate program available. And yes, if you join as a paid member (like me) by clicking any of the links on this site, then I’ll get paid a 50% commission (that helps to pay the bills).

There’s also a referral contest running with $2000 cash in prize money available.

FTC Compliance Guide

I have to admit that I got this wrong.

Living in the United Kingdom, I don’t automatically react to changes in U.S. regulations. My general understanding is that I am subject to the laws of the country where I live (or where I am at the time) should I commit a misdemeanour - speaking purely hypothetically, of course :-)  So a change to American Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations - not even laws - was dismissed when it came up on my radar, as being irrelevant to me.

WRONG!

I’ve just revisited this topic following a question from one of my readers and I’ve now got a bit of work to do just to make sure I don’t unwittingly fall foul of the revised FTC regulations , which came in during December last year. Because, although I cannot personally be pursued by the FTC, what I had overlooked was that I use American web-hosting and auto-responder services. These companies, of course, ARE subject to compliance with the FTC, so in using their services I’m expecting that I’m required  to comply as a condition of my continuing to use their services.

That’s why I’m now going to review all my blog posts, sales materials etc. to ensure that they are FTC compliant.

So, if you too had ignored these changes up till now, I would urge you to think again.

When you get into the detail, a lot of these changes amount to good practice when dealing with customers, in any case. As many countries already follow the US in so many ways, anyway, then it’s probably just a matter of time before each country adopts its own version of these regulations. You might as well get in early, AND your American customers will expect it of you.

Now I couldn’t claim to be an expert on these changes, so I WON’T attempt to give you my own understanding of these changes, lest I mislead you. However, having done extensive research myself, I CAN point you towards a resource that has helped me the most and this could save you a good deal of time. The resource is free (so there are no affiliate commissions for me to disclose to you!) and it is available as a web-based video presentation and also downloadable mp3 audio and PDF versions (name and e-mail required).

My Message for the New Year

Okay, so where did the Noughties go? Is it really 10 years since we were all crossing our fingers that the world wouldn’t end at the start of year 2000 when the much expected millenium bug struck? And what a good example to show that our worst fears don’t always materialise.

I learned just the other day that the cost of preparing for the expected effects of the millenium bug was $300 billion! Can you believe that? Okay, you could argue that the money was well spent because the worst that seems to have happened is that a few burglar alarms went off, but doesn’t that figure seem way over the top?

I suppose it’s all about keeping things in perspective and what better time to do so than on New Year’s Day, when we can’t help but look back and look forward at the same time.

Whatever they were, last year would have had both failures and successes. Or perhaps we fell short of what we were aiming to achieve. As we assess our last year, it is crucial to enter the new one with a positive frame of mind - so, again, we have to keep a sense of perspective. Remember that, above all, we are human and NOT perfect. So yes, sometimes we fail, but let’s not forget that we also have our strengths and our successes.

Sometimes too, we get bogged down in the nitty gritty of our everyday lives and we lose sight of the bigger picture - yet again we lose our perspective.

Here’s a short video so that you can enter 2010 with everything in perspective:

Whatever you are wanting to achieve in the next year, I hope it’s your best yet,

World Internet Summit, London 2009

It’s time to check your diary, because here’s news of the next big event in the Internet Marketing calender: the World Internet Summit is again coming to London. It’s coming next month, so mark off 12 to 15 November and cancel all other engagements. This is likely to be the last BIG event in the UK this year, so don’t miss out.

If you’ve been to a “similar” event before, but not actually to the World Internet Summit, don’t get fooled into thinking that all these events are the same. Believe me, NOTHING is like the World Internet Summit.

Where else do you get ALL of these:

  1. the chance to win the proceeds of the LIVE world internet challenge, where you watch how a sales campaign is set up and goes live during the summit. One of the Canadian attendees was recently handed a cheque for $22,077 when she attended!
  2. to see and hear the world’s foremost internet marketing experts teaching the latest and greatest techniques for making money online.
  3. a “Newbies Day”. The World Internet Summit will devote ONE WHOLE DAY to those of you just starting out - just think, the answers to all of your questions in one day!
  4. a Joint Venture Club. You may already know about the importance of Joint Ventures, but how do you get started with them? Only the World Internet Summit has its own Joint Venture Club to help you forge your own. All joint ventures start from being able to network. At the event, you will receive training on how to network successfully. There will also be a structured networking session - you won’t have to rely on just being able to grab a coffee with someone during the interval!
  5. a HUGE bonus pack! Resale rights… master resale rights… product licenses… WOW!

I think you get the idea! Time to check out their website… CLICK HERE.

Think and Grow Rich

“Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill was probably the very first self-improvement book that was recommended to me. Unfortunately, I didn’t recognise it as such (working in a sales environment at the time, I classed it as one of many “sales” books that were being recommended to me). Consequently, I never got round to reading it until earlier this year (some 25 years later).

I mention it now, because when I was viewing the Tony Robbins video (see last article), it struck me again how very relevant the principles of that book still are, over 70 years after it was first published. The principles and the methodology behind them still provide the keys to bringing success to your life.

The book provides a veritable warehouse of motivational quotes. Here are a few for you:

  • All who have accumulated great fortunes, first did a certain amount of dreaming, hoping, wishing, DESIRING and PLANNING before they acquired money.
  • If you do not see great riches in your imagination, you will never see them in your bank balance.
  • Success requires no apologies, failure permits no alibis.
  • Every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success.
  • Practical dreamers DO NOT QUIT.
  • The greatest achievement was, at first, and for a time, but a dream.
  • No more effort is required to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and poverty.
  • Our only limitations are those we set up in our own minds.
  • Nothing is impossible to the person who backs DESIRE with enduring FAITH.
  • Life’s battles don’t always go, To the stronger or faster man, But sooner or later the man who wins, Is the man who thinks he can.

Just where would I be now, if I’d read and acted on this book 25 years ago?

If reading “Think and Grow Rich” has been on your “To Do” list for all too long, TAKE ACTION now and benefit from it. Don’t waste 25 years like I did!

To make it easy for you, there’s an Amazon link below: you’ll see there are prices to suit all pockets. If you don’t do it now, when will you get a better opportunity?
