About Making Rice (Learning Internet Marketing)10.25.11

Seth Godin had this to say in a post 2 weeks ago:

First, make rice

Fledgling sushi chefs spend months (sometimes years) doing nothing but making the rice for the head chef.

If the rice isn’t right, it really doesn’t matter what else you do, you’re not going to be able to serve great sushi.

Most of the blogging and writing that goes on about marketing assumes that you already know how to make the rice. It assumes you understand copywriting and graphic design, that you’ve got experience in measuring direct response rates, that you’ve made hundreds of sales calls, have an innate empathy for what your customers want and think and that you know how to make a compelling case for what you believe.

Too often, we quickly jump ahead to the new thing, failing to get good enough at the important thing.

Which is precisely why I created this special offer.

Too many courses, ebooks & videos out there assume you already know the basics of internet marketing.

They provide you with advanced tactics that make millions of dollars – for someone else. Someone who already knows the basics.

Not this one.

Poke around these websites and see if you can discover a new traffic source for your marketing campaigns.

Advertising on the web…

Residual Income Through ClickBank04.08.11

I’m a big fan of residual income.

Do the work once, and watch the money come in month after month.

There’s always going to be a percentage of people that discontinue their subscriptions -
But when you add up the ones that stay with the ones you generate the following month…

The earnings really start to add up.

There are many ways to create residual income.
For instance, there’s MLM (network marketing).

Build a team, teach them how to build theirs…and before you know it you’re making money in your sleep.

But that takes a substantial amount of work.

You’ve got to train others, talk on the phone…use a little bit of psychology, a whole lot of selling…

And to be honest with you, it’s not for everybody.

There’s also list building.

Create a squeeze page, drive traffic to it, build a list, and email them offers…

And that’s work too. You need the technical know-how, the promotion strategies…

There’s CPA (or mobile CPA) – which a lot of you know me for.

You set up a campaign, track and optimize…get it running steady…a little tweaking here and there…and before you know it, you’ve got a consistent source of income.

Well – until something changes ;-)

And then there’s ClickBank.

Clickbank is a huge marketplace of digital products.

Ebooks, videos, courses…you name it, if it can be delivered via the web – they’ve got it!

Now, most Clickbank sales are one-time sales.

You set up a web page…place a banner on it…and when someone lands on your page, clicks the banner and purchases, you make a commission.

But there’s another class of Clickbank products out there.

These are products with memberships – or subscription services.

Think of these like magazines – they keep sending members content month after month,
and people who like the content continue to pay month after month.

And if you made the original sale? You get the repeat commission – month after month after month.

While looking around the ClickBank marketplace the other day, I stumbled across a different kind of offer.

For most Clickbank offers, to make sales, you need to know how to promote – how to set up a web page, how to send people to it…

But this Clickbank product is actually a membership site for its affiliates!

They take you step by step through the process of promoting their offer.
They call it “90 days to $100k.”

Pretty catchy ;-)

Anyway, I liked the product, so I joined & started promoting it.

First week results: 7 sales.

Not too shabby!

(hint: that’s $385 / month from one week of work).

And whenever I come across something I like…well, I like to share it with YOU!

So here it is: CB Success Club

And if you need any help at all making your first few sales, all you gotta do is reach out to me.

Let the residual income begin!
