Yes, alex Jeffreys is starting a second coaching program. Are you going to get in on this one? I hope so.
I have had the pleasure of being involved in his first coaching program, which is actually still going, and have been absolutely amazed with him. What he has given his first group of coaching students is almost priceless. A few points worth noting about Alex Jeffreys and his coaching program;
First, he has way over delivered based on the price. He went way over time, by hours sometimes, on the live training webinars. Then he kept adding more new information as he learned more. Then, in May, he held a private 2-day seminar at no extra cost. He could be charging way more for what he is providing. I’ve paid way more for much less!
Second, the information he provided was not the usual tech stuff, but rather the real nuts and bolts of how to run a business, the way the big boys do. Actually, what he taught makes it all much simpler than getting hung up on a bunch of tech fine points. Yes, the tech stuff has a place, but it is more like 5% of the business, so where do you want to focus your time and efforts?
Third, he is so damn helpful. He really does want to see his students succeed, and it shows in his attitude and his actions. He would not stay on the webinars for hours answering questions if not!
Fourth, he is a direct conduit to many of the most successful online entrepreneurs around, and he passes on what he is learning to his students. He is traveling all over the place going to many seminars to learn and more importantly meet and make friends with the top people in the business. He is paying big bucks to some of the guru’s for personal coaching, which he is then relying to his coaching students. So basically his coaching students have been getting a lot of high level stuff without paying the big bucks for it.
Fifth, he has a great mind for online marketing. He has done some things on his own that even the gurus were not doing, they have learned it from him. He’s been called the “Triple Threat Affiliate” because he figured out an efficient way to get 3 times the sales out of his mailing lists. When he would promote an affiliate product that some of the big hitters were also promoting, they noticed him when he was able to equal their sales numbers from a much smaller list. Of course I know how this is done now too!
Sixth, he’s real energetic . . no stuffed shirt there. Can you say, “Vegas Baby!” What a great time in Las Vegas with Alex and many other coaching students many of which traveled a long way to get there. It was a short jaunt for me, from California, but we had people from the UK and Australia as well as all over the US.
Now, I am the first to admit, that I have not used most of what I have learned from Alex, I’ve been quite spread out with all my activities. But, the students who have implemented are seeing some nice success already.
I know this sounds like a sales page for the Alex Jeffreys coaching program, but I am very adamant that he has done an excellent job delivering great powerful information and has been very helpful along the way.
So, my suggestion is, don’t walk over to the line to get in . . . run! He can only handle so many students, so don’t dawdle! Or you will be waiting another year . . . To figure out how to really make money.
Promoting your product on ClickBank can be a great way of increasing sales. Clickbank Market Place is searched frequently by online marketers looking to generate income with affilite products. Locating products to promote is quite easy with ClickBank. All a marketer has to do to start earning a commission with your product is set up a free of charge ClickBank account and search through the appropriate catagory, locate your product and begin promoting it.
As a merchant you can instantly tap in to this huge potential traffic resourse easily and at little cost. Marketing your product with an affiliate program is one of the most powerful ways to increase sales with little effort on your part. You don’t pay to develop the traffic, the affiliate does. You only pay anything out to the affiliate after they have brought you a sale, and you get to decide how much! This is why so many successful online merchants participate in ClickBank’s easy to use program.
However, it’s not quite that simple. You will find that some online merchants seem to only be able to generate a few sales per day while some others may realize hundreds of sales per day, with the exact same system. So, what’s the difference? The highly successful merchant undersstands the power of providing their online marketing affiliates with key marketing tools along with assiting and motivating them to use them. Helping the affilaite marketer use an effective tool helps you both make much more money.
Your efforts with Increasing your campaign responsiveness can serve to boost your sales at ClickBank in two ways. First of course is to make more sales, but also, your affiliate program should begin to look much more attractive to the professional affiliates searching within Clickbank for products to promote. ClickBank publishes the sales stats and clearly shows how responsive your product is. When your product appears to be a top seller, it will attract a greater number of affiliates wanting to promote it, thus easliy increasing the overall traffic it receives.
Having your product listing ranking high in ClickBank could even be more powerful than having your top keywords rank high with Google. Attracting several strong affiliates who are each capable of getting high Google ranking could end up having your product dominating the first page for your top keywords.
You might pay an SEO company rediculous sums of cash to get good search placements when there may be strong affiliates marketers out there with the ability to accomplish the same or more without any additional expense to you. But only if you would just make it easier and more efficient for them to get involved with promoting your product.
Despite this potential, you’d be surprised to see all the Clickbank merchants who don’t have an affiliates resources page or at least they don’t display it with their clickbank product description allowing marketers to see promotional aids available.
The online merchants who know the importance and value of motivating their affiliates by providing them with the tools they need to properly promote the product to make money with it are the ones who are fully leveraging the their ClickBank affiliates. Is it just plain laziness or do some merchants not understand how to properly support a top online marketer? You won’t attract the top marketers to promote your product if you don’t have a good set of tools for them to use, they will find the products that do.
If you are currently listing your products in ClickBank but not focusing on how to help your affiliates be successful, it’s time to take a good hard look at your promotional tools. You can turn your success level up rapidly with a few simple additions to your promotional tools.
One of the most powerful marketing tools you can put in the hands of your affiliates is a “Brandable E-book Marketing Campaign”. The kind of campaign is one you can easily put together in about a half a day for for free the PDF Power Brand software system. What’s nice about PDF Power Brand is that when you create your campaign with the software, they then promote it for you… for free! Through the PDF Power Brand “E-book Vault” you get a full page devoted to promoting your affiliate campaign on the PDF Power Brand web site, for many other marketers to see.
There are currently more than 10,000 online affiliate marketers registered at PDF Power Brand, and soon grow very rapidly. You will be able to expose your business, your campaigns to a rapidy growing list, for free!
Now I’m not exactly sure, but they may only be allowing the first 100 e-books to be listed for free. Setting up a campaign to promote your product is free, and easy too. You do not even have to buy any pricey PDF creation software. PDF Power Brand has very comprehensive video instructions.
If you want to get the most leverage and income from your ClickBank affiliates, or from any affiliate program you have, then it will be very beneficial to make sure you have available as many marketing methods and tools as possible for them. Having these in place serves to motivate affiliate marketers to put in the effort on your products.
With PDF Power Brand you will be providing a very powerful marketing tool, at no cost!
Give your affiliates the power to do what they do - make you money!
Have you stopped long enough to realize just how fast all this social networking stuff has exploded? Have you been paying attention to how rapidly new social networking, social messaging and micro-blogging services are popping up? Two years ago how many were tweeting on Twitter? Think back just six months ago! If this was a negative thing it would be called an epidemic, although I guess some do consider it as such.
I think it’s quite interesting to think about how this has social networking started at a time when many critics of the internet were saying how bad it was for depriving so many people from socializing. They said that all the people with their noses stuck online were harming themselves and society as a whole. Now look what has grown up out of the Internet, the greatest increase in socialization ever known to man. To me this is fascinating, yesterday I wrote more in depth about it in my blog post at SuccessFool called, “Monetization and This Explosive Social Network Thing”
Now what got me thinking about social networking in this way was what I was reading that Maki at his Dosh Dosh blog was saying about how big the monetization of social network systems has become, actually how fast it is growing. His post is so well written that I see no reason to go over it again here, it would be best for you to just go read his post yourself, he covers it well.
About the only thing I can add is, if you are marketing anything, the social networks are fast becoming a necessary place to be involved. They are both an environment you become involved with and a vehicle for promotion. And it only works if you do it right. Like life, there is balance involved. Too much promoting and not enough human being and it won’t work. Social marketing is fast becoming the quickest way to communicate with people.
So for some up to date insight into marketing within the whole social network system Maki’s post called, “Complementary Services Social Media Marketing Strategy” with be of value. Watch out though, you can get stuck on his blog, lots of great ideas!
Do you know or suspect that others have been ‘borrowing’ some of your content, be it text, photos, or videos, to use on their sites without your permission? If you are not monetizing this content then it is probably not a big deal, but if you are, then someone else is benefitting from your work and oyu are loosing out.
As you know writing articles is a very powerful way to get traffic and recognition. And who doesn’t want more of both to support their online marketing business? Traffic generation is the life blood of any business. Now there is one more facet you can add to your article marketing campaigns to get a little more mileage from your articles and it utilizes the power of Twitter.
You can have a Tweet posted to Twitter automatically each time you have posted an article to an article directory. You will need to get your author feed from the article directory to use for this, most good directories should provide a specific author feed. Now you can use that feed just as they provide it or you can run that feed through FeedBurner if you want to add more features like click tracking and more.
My friend Dan Blackburn has a good description on how to do this on the Article Content King Blog.
Go there and just follow his instructions. He describes how to get the feed from the Article Content King directory, but it should be similar with any on the major article directories.
Dan will take you through getting your feed and then going to a free service called Pingvine where the feed will be set up to Twit automatically every time you post a new article. How cool is that! One more way to use Twitter!
John
PS,
If you want another good place to post your articles, gain some ad revenue from your article pages and more, you might try the unique revenue sharing Article Content King directory. I am involved in helping this directory become a marketing powerhouse for authors, the Alexa rating is growing very rapidly with all the new design features and marketing efforts. Check it out.
As I have been gradually adding more features to my blog here I noticed something that is not widely addressed. At least it never came to my attention before as I was learning about creating the 125 X 125 ads I use in the right sidebar. I have done these ads before and not thought about it either. The common way to write the code for a clickable link behind a graphic or picture closes your blog page to take the visitor to the link they just clicked on.
This is a ‘non-desirable activity’ in my book! Yes, I want them to click on the link, but keep the blog there as well. I want a new page to open for them, leaving the blog page open for them to return to. You want this too, right? . . . say yes!
You certainly don’t need to allow people to accidentally leave your page until they are ready to. And we all know how many times we get distracted by the links we click on and don’t always go back to the original site when it has disappeared from our browser.
If you click on one of the ads on this blog you will see that it now opens a new window, leaving the blog page sitting right there waiting for you to return. I know you don’t believe me, so try it. Hehe, just for practice, really!
OK, so here is what you do about it. All you need to do is add a little bit more code to the link code you already have for the graphic. All it takes is this –
The thing you must pay close attention to is the quotes ( “ ) see how there is a quote at the end of pdf-power-brand” and the two within the added code, target=”_blank”
The term ‘blank’ is for a new page, you may have seen this before.
It’s interesting to note that as I wanted to figure out exactly how to do this I visited several sites so I could look at their code, and you know what? I couldn’t find one that was doing this. Everyone was letting the new page blow away their page when someone clicked on a link. Sure this may be a small thing, but if you have studied the making of a sales page, the cardinal rule is that you never, never, never - did I say, never? Never provide a link where someone can click off the page and get lost. So why is it not important here with a blog as well?
If someone just landed on your main page and got distracted, heaven forbid, by one of your ad links and got taken away from the blog – got real excited, bought something and never came back. Maybe they don’t come back to receive all the great free content you have, get top know you more, and – well you get it.
So go fix your links that can take people away from your blog and you will feel like you’ve accomplished something – it’s called ‘saving traffic’! It takes effort to get, so take a little more to save it. Help readers get the value you intend for them.
There is a nice site I found that has some great tutorials that help with doing HTML. If you are like me and don’t know it well enough to remember exactly what to do a week later, this site can come in handy. They didn’t have this exact code example there which is why I had to extrapolate a little, but it is a good site for HTML coding help. It’s a resource I will use again, I found it well laid out and easy to use.
In our fledgling online marketing efforts we are all super busy doing more and more tasks associated with building our blogs and getting traffic to them. Whether it’s following Alex Jeffreys or any of the other individuals successful with internet marketing, these methods work but only if kept up on a regular basis.
The question is, are you keeping up with those tasks that should be done repeatedly on a regular basis. Like visiting other blogs and commenting, writing articles, bookmarking and what ever else you have done. What is important is to schedule in all these kinds of repetitive tasks so that you keep up with them or their effect will diminish.
The key to building any business is the creation of systems. So as you build up your blog, systematize your needed actions as much as possible. In the beginning you will likely be doing them all yourself, but as revenue comes in, and it will, you will want to look at outsourcing many of these tasks.
The time to start is now, when it is small, so it will be manageable when it is big.
OK, I did something cool I think! It should help us research intenet marketing topics such as blog set up, making and using videos, plugins, traffic methods, any sort of ‘how to’ pertaining to building your online business.
I have set up a Custom Search on this blog. What this does is search essentially what I want it to search. My intention is to put the links to all of the Marketing With Alex students blogs in there .
Now everyone can use this to research specific topics to find the answers, tools, videos, tips and such that support what you are trying to do without having to search around manually all the blogs until you find something. So you don’t have to overload your busy mind with trying to remember who has what on their blog.
I will put a few other of my sites and others that I know and work with as well to help round it out. But is should be much more specific than searching the entire web, plus this way we frequent the groups blog more. Why not give traffic to Alex’s students blogs first, and there is a lot of good information coming on within the group all the time. The search is just over in the right side column near the top, have a try . . .
I have loaded a few of the blogs in there already, but getting all of the links take time, and as you can see I have not yet added all of the addresses in my blogroll list yet.
So if you add a comment here with your blog URL I can get it easily and I will add it to both the search and blogroll.
Entrepreneur and Simpleology founder Mark Joyner is starting a new mini presentation on a napkin for providing quick bits of useful information in video format. He’s very good at gettig his point across clearly and quickly.
In his first entry he talks about our so-called ‘recession’ and how what we thick we are in the midst of is really the past. You need to see his napkin presentation to get the full understanding of his point. I agree with his point and add that for most, the recession is a reactive state.
Sure some people had some financial problems, housing, etc., but for most, their income had not changed when the fear news all started. But since so many have reacted with fear thinking and changed their behavior based on that fear, more and more people now are getting involved with real financial problems.
Here’s the thing, when you stop or drastically reduce your spending, you are choking off your normal contribution to the ‘cash flow’ economy we all live in. Now, as a result of your altered behavior, many employees are getting laid off due to lack of traffic in their place of employment. I would venture to say that on the high side, for every 100 people that stop going out to eat on a regular basis, one waiter/waitress looses their job.
The whole shame in this is that when the news of some people having financial problems first came out, most people still had the same cash flow they did 6 months prior. But now after months of fear behavior and reduced spending, more and more get laid off which leads to more and more will get laid off, and so on.
There’s only one way to stop this and it takes most of us to contribute. If you can, and most can, get back to the normal spending habits you had before all the ‘bad’ news became rampant. As cash flows. Jobs will grow!
Go take a look at Mark’s “Shocktails” edition on the ‘recession’ as being the past. Perhaps it will help you see this all from a different vantage point.
I have been working on building an on-line business for a while now with just a little success and I know there are many that can relate, possibly you. The biggest hurdle seems to be getting it started with internet marketing. There are many aspects to a successful online business certainly but getting traffic in to see what we have is the big one. The successful marketers keep telling us that the profit is in the list. And I agree that it is, but getting the opt email list built was proving difficult until now.
Well, that’s why I joined Alex Jeffreys coaching program, to learn list building, but I had no idea I would get THIS much out of it! It’s way more than just list building, This Alex Jeffreys guy, what’s the big deal? Now before joining I didn’t know much about him. What I did find out that helped me decide to get involved was that he has increased his income very quickly. Why not learn from someone on the move right now as methods change here online. I want to get what is working right now, don’t you?
How Will This Help Me Make Money Online?
Hold on, I know you are perhaps wondering already, why should I read this about this Alex Jeffreys guy and his Marketing With Alex coaching program someone else is taking? I understand, but read on and I think you will understand why soon. Alex truly believes in giving first. Providing high value and the money will follow, it sure has for him. The key is, he’s giving away the farm here. He’s not holding back his precious little secrets as many do. He is open and available, not one to hide behind the curtain, nor is he pretentious or arrogant about his quick success. That’s why his coaching program is called, “Marketing With Alex, We’re Marketing With You And for You. . .” Over a year ago he wrote a book sharing what he is doing, “Gurus Dream” - well worth reading.
The big deal about Alex and his internet marketing business again is that he has gone from zero to $500,000 a year in two years. Yes, two years, and he is now working on the next year, he should hit the one million in 2009. Now this is what I want to follow! So I did it and the price was so low for a coaching program. Actually the low price caused me to be a bit leery at first, by my gut was telling me everything was right about him. And I figured I could get something out of it. Sorry, I better not reveal the price, won’t be like that again, but believe me, it’s already worth thousands – and we are maybe half way through at my writing this.
Relationship Marketing Includes Everyone
It turns out Alex Jeffreys is a great guy but more important, real, open and giving of himself particularly when it comes to how he is becoming quickly successful. The main point to convey about Alex is his philosophy of doing business. He strongly believes in relationship marketing. This is where you build relationships with people first by giving lots of value and helping them with their needs. This style fits in well with all the new social networking that is blossoming all around us.
So you may be thinking, how did this Alex guy move up so quickly? First, he just ‘gets’ internet marketing, but also he has become well connected with many of the very successful marketers. He has mentored under Mike Filsaime and Rich Schefren. He has done joint ventures with many top marketers, being called the “Triple Threat Affiliate” by one of these top marketers. He must be doing things right, he has shown to get much higher percentage results from his email list than those top people.
Get Well Connected Here He just got back from a private cruise on Andrew Fox’s yacht with 5 multimillionaires. He was the only non-millionaire in the group; this is how much they respect him. These guys know how this internet marketing thing works. Alex has the ear of these successful ‘gurus’ which has helped him immensely with his rapid growth of and online income. And now he is passing it on to others. Through our social networking we are quickly getting integrated into the level of many people who really know what they are doing.
Getting to know many people in the internet marketing industry is how you find those you will want to associate with and do business with, and even make friends with. I never imagined I would be Twittering with certain people so quickly, it’s amazing what happens through association.
A Whole Business Making Money Online Now, how does this affect you and I with our desires to become successful with our own internet marketing business? As I mentioned earlier, I am in Alex’s “Marketing With Alex” coaching program along with 499 others, and he is definitely giving a lot of himself with this training providing exceptional value. Most of the on-line conference calls in the training have gone for at least five hours each. Yes, you read that right, and there are to be several in total. Not sure how many because he just keeps adding in more and bringing in guest experts to talk to us. He is truly providing us with the latest information, exactly what successful people are doing right now.
There is no question we are getting up to date and even cutting edge information about what is effective today online. Bringing in ‘traditional’ online marketing in with social networking, social bookmarking, article marketing, video marketing, and more. Combining the best online money making ideas develops a strong online presence, which is the foundation of a solid and profitable internet business. Of course list building for opt in email marketing and traffic generation are heavily focused on.
People Helping People Marketing Strategy
OK, here’s the really exciting part. Remember how I said that Alex believed in giving and helping as a key part of his strategy for making money online, well this is how everyone in the group is conducting business. There is this group of 500 participating directly with Alex Jeffreys coaching program, setting up internet marketing blogs as a base of operations and getting active employing various different traffic generating methods to begin filling up their opt email lists.
So, even if you are not currently in Alex’s training you still have a terrific making money online opportunity by following and studying what we are doing. I think that you will find this group to be helpful and supportive, and that they continue to create a vast array of information, videos, audio’s, and how-to’s all to help with what we are working on.
A Central Point Of Connection
Now to make this easier for myself, the group, and anyone following along, I have installed a Google Custom Search Engine right here on my marketing blog. What this will do for you is provide you with an easy way to search a whole group of blogs that are geared towards working the methods that Alex Jeffreys is teaching. Plus I will have many additional resources available through the search to provide a fast way to find effective information, tools, methods, people and resources for building a profitable online money making business. It will make it like a giant making money online forum.
I do have a suggestion for those not in the Marketing With Alex Jeffreys coaching program, get Alex’s free list building report, Mailing List Secrets which gives a description of what we are doing so it will be easier to get some benefit from tagging along. And even better is the video set you will be offered after requesting the free listbuilding report Listbuilding With Alex video program to get an even better picture.
