I totally agree that buidling a relationship with your visitors is vital to success. The time it takes is well worth the effort

I agree about relationship with your visitors because having one really builds credibility in your niche. Customers love to be shown how to do things if it can save them time and effort.

Great!

Alex’a wealth formula looks great… unfortunately I’m one of those newbie types who has not yet taken an online step into affiliate/information marketing arena. Yes, I have been overburdened with information, but I believe I’ve been selective with whatever I have purchased thus far - which isn’t a lot.

Effectively, I have narrowed my mentoring focus down to your good self, Ewen Chia and Brad & Matt Callen - This process has taken me some 4 months and as mentioned above I’ve not spent too much on anyone’s next big thing, as it were.

I have very little money at my disposal right now so I need to ensure I spend it as wisely as I can. I have also just received Ewen Chia’s NEW work from home offer, which also looks good and priced similarly to that of Alex’s wealth formula program - so I’m tossing up at present, however I am leaning towards Alex’s offer.

I already have Brad Callens Affiliate Elite program and Matt Callens HyperVRE and PopOver programs so it’s about time for me to take some action.

Building a relationship is the key to online success and of all the online marketers whom I’ve received information from, you are one that I have some respect for. I know I need to take action and I’m very close to doing that.

Apologies for the converluted comments - hope to hear from you soon

Thank you for your comments. That’s very nice of you. I am a rather straight forward person and I like to tell it like it is…

Here’s an reply email to one of my subscriber that might be helpful…

———————————————————————–
If I could be honest with you, there are a thrillion ways to make money on the internet..

Alright I’m exaggerating but here’s the crunch..

Do not let the so called gurus push you around because you really need to learn and decide
For yourself what makes sense and which direction you should take.

With so many ways to make money and with the thousands of courses out there, you’re bound
To get information overload even if a 1000 ebooks has a step by step formula.

Here’s my simple formula.

Select A Hot Market

A hot market is usually one that people are desperate for
solution such as sex, love, money and health

In fact, the money making market is filled with desperate people like you..

In the love market, there are man who are desperately looking for a mate..(dating niche is big)
In the health market, lots of people are suffering physically and is need of help

Select A Hot Affiliate Product For The Hot Market
Find not just good products but products that are hot and very convincing.

Use clickbank.com paydotcom.com to find hot products (or you can simply go to google and type in your keyword +affiliate program eg. “Dating affiliate program”
(information products are usually the best since people come online to look for information)

Setup A website
Alright, this is rather technical but most website that are good, you can just copy and edit..
You can get free video everywhere..here are some examples
masscontrolsite.com/blog/?p=7
masscontrolsite.com/blog/?p=8
www.internetbusinessfornewbies.com/videos.htm
www.igottatellyou.com/blog/proven-html-template-for-killer-opt-in-page-results/

You will also need an autoresponder such as aweber.com or monsterresponse.com

Get Traffic
Build a list by driving traffic to your optin page using
Google adwords or other pay per click

Blogging is a good way to start to get traffic.as long as there is content you’ll get traffic Post videos on youtube and other video sites to get traffic

Write articles and submit to ezinearticles.com (by far one of the best free method to get traffic to your site)

Convert to customers using email persuasion
Which is nothing difficult as you just repeat the benefits of the product using the product’s sales page

Repeat the same process for which ever market for whichever product.

May I be frank with you..The internet game is easy for me to say the least..but that’s because I’ve spend countless nights and hours for the last 7yrs Spending well over 50 grand online and getting the experience in order to get to where I am.a good 5 figure income.

I’ve got friends who makes 6-8 grand a month residually..and you might be surprise at their strategy.If I may put it aptly, it’s the 1000 self-written article strategy.

It’s hard work in the beginning but it pays off.

I am no guru because there are literally thousands of people who are making good income online discreetly, many of which are making more Than the so-called gurus. The truth is, they just want to keep themselves out of the limelight (especially when you’re making good income online, it draws attention..some people like the attention & some not…).

I’m not sure if you can understand where I’m coming from but here’s my take on how you can become successful online..

1.) Focus on getting the experience
Many people are spending too much time focusing on immediate returns so much so that they give up easily.
Ever recall when you first learnt how to bat a baseball bat or ride a bicycle?

No matter how good a coach such as our “Pop aka Dad” is, we do not bat it right the first time…or do you?
It takes tons of practice before anyone could bat like Babe Ruth..

I recalled I had to evaluate my batting when I first started out..until it became intuitive..
Yes..the keyword is Intuition.I can now intuitively tell you what to do because I’ve done it tons of times..
Your focus should be on the experience rather than instant gratification..

If you want to be good at marketing..try marketing products online..(get the experience..if you fail, try again..think through. it’s the same process when you’re picking up any sports or anything per se) before you know it, You’ll be able to do it intuitively..(what most people would say..talent)

2.) Simple formula for making money online
No Sale = No Money
No Subscriber=No Sale
No Optin=No Subscriber
No Traffic = No Optin

Step 1 = Aim to get 100 visitors to your optin page first & work on improving your conversion Step 2 = Aim to get 100 Subscribers Step 3 = Aim to get 1 Sale (since conversion rate for an average salesletter website is around 1-4%) if you can’t get pass Step 1.don’t buy any course. You should read “One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way by Robert Maurer.

Hope this helps,

I realized a while ago that the true secret to online success is the interaction and communication with people.

Unfortunately I am one of those private people and find it extremely hard to “network” with those online in forums, blogs or what-have-you…and I don’t like to “post” for posting sake.

Because you shared a private moment of a loss in your life; that changed you from just a “marketer” like all the others, to someone I empathize with…which turned you into a real person.

Good blog, good job, well done Craig

Thanks and may God keep showering blessings on you,

I was reading this and was about to accuse you of ripping off M.O.L.B., until I saw that you bought it:) BTW if anybody reads this comment and really cares it’s actually a 178 pages, and I have to agree with Craig - It is good but it’s lacking one thing that I think Craig could help his blog readers with, and that’s an actuall autoresponder sequence to use.

Alex tells you when to interject information with promotion but not exactly what to say to your list. This is the only thing that Alex’s product is really lacking. Otherwise it’s a very good “blueprint”.

If you desire to make profits on the internet, you need to create a rock relationship with your readers. You must give solid information to them before to sell something.

Give + give them => (after that) => sell your products

This is the “Wheel of Marketing”, simply do not reinvent the wheel. Give good content to your visitors and they will buy. Thank you!

Thanks,

Troy

First, great information and it came in perfect timing for me. I just started getting involved with people in the online business. Regular business requires me to be involved all the time and I’m finding the internet is no different other than there is no face to face.

I would also agree with Graeme. You seem to be the most trusted person in the online game. And truly I hope to have half the rap you have.

Thanks again for this and all the other bits of information you have provided me in the past.

You know that what you have written is a great consept in marketing. Two many marketers are seeing dollar signs with every campain they start.

But the truth is that people are what business is all about. Without your subscribers trust and apreciation of what you do for them you might as well get a 9 to 5.

Great post

Thank you so much for the information you’ve given in your post. Information is so helpful and clearly explained. You’ve done a great job in sharing truths so generously! Currently, I’m on Ewen Chia’s program (into third week). I am quite curious to find out more about Alex’s program too. I’m pretty new and want to pick up good learning. Your post gives me timely confidence. Thanks alot Craig, keep in touch. God bless..
Cheers..

Jeremy

I going to do what it said in this email, and if I need any help, I might be emailing you back with questions.

I hope you can help.

Thanks,

Gail

Thaks very much

With today’s Online Marketing, people are more and more losing that “human” factor and the “personal touch” that most offline businesses do, and they are weary of investing into their future with someone they don’t know that well.

Overall, great post and look forward to your next post.

Thanks for your great information. I thought I’ve no idea of what to say. Everybody has mentioned that. But I feel that, this is a good place for me to get some ideas in the Internet Marketing. The post that I’ve just read was wonderful and I enjoyed it.

You’re making me more confidence and opened up my eyes to this virtual world, especially in this Internet Marketing business. Hopefully to come back, if you’re still around.

Now Craig. Can you give me some ideas on how to advertise affiliate products using PPC Adwords on Google?

I’ve ever experienced before with Google PPC but unfortunately I’ve to pay for the clicks, without any sales and so no profit.

Need you advice to resolve this matter. Thanks a lot.

Either way - Assume you need to take 9 months to build a useable list, and to supplement the posting, I would add the options are:I can also refer you to same, or email.

1. build traffic - then use the list , or replicate, OR
2. actually sell product (affilliate or not) into a niche you are interested in, then from that organic list, grow out or replicate. (you now understand the keywords and mindest of buyers)
3. Mass market - ‘volume’ traffic game.
If you try and compete in the keyword ‘make money online’ market asa newbie you will be squashed.
One way around this is to play arbitrage on advertising, and (shock horror) replicate a successful ‘real-world’ advertising model online.
There’s plenty of examples on google, but the concept is basically aggregating online advertising (and can be from the same mail list you are trying to target).

Nice Post as always!!

Just started with the Online thing and so far I just spent money buying the Ebooks etc…, have not made one sale yet.

Anyway I always liked to read your posts, they have plenty of good info in them.

Maybe once I will be as successful as you ;-).

Until then, Keep up the good work!!!

I’ve been promoting affiliate program for years and it brings in a small chunk of money…, but your blog post (”2 Words Increased…) made me realize I can make much more with the affiliate products I have.

At this point I’m subscribed to a very select number of eZines, and yours is one because you are willing to share great info before you expect a return.

Great job!

I am mostly ashamed for not being able to understand what I am doing here. I got my free website but I really do not know what exactly I am doing. I am reading through every single piece of information that will help me develope income, but in reality the information is not regestering in my mind. How do I need to start? Can you help me by simplifying the information?

i am back to comment. today i received not one but 2 emails selling me a new clickbank software which is launched today! And I did not receive one from you. Tells me where your focus is, to help people make money not just oneself.

like Alex says on his video, do not take BS from anyone!

my focus is not clickbank at the moment, as i am still growing and expanding my contents. hopefully, when i mature with time, i will get in the game.

I have just come back to your website, so glad you emailed me this morning as I thought something happened to you.
Good reading just signed up for article pro,and playing around with it. The video in your article does not work,so now I am testing it myself and a little lost, but still excited.
Anyhow glad your back and talk to you soon;

Joy

Thanks for all of the great information! I have to be honest. THIS is the FIRST time I have taken the time from “info overload” to read your blog. While I was waiting to read carefully EVERY WORD OF THE SO-CALLED “GURUS”, I was neglecting what I really need….a human being who cares and will help a newbie and beyond! Funny, because in my “real life” relationships and building and nurturing them are what I am all about….thanks for reminding me that the people on the internet are REAL, too!
Here is a really “elementary” question. I am trying to use clickbank or paydotcom to be an affiliate for people selling e-books. I have connected all the dots but one piece of the puzzle continues to eleude me. When I choose a product that comes with its own sales material, I enter my private affiliate code and change it all to be MY money-making material. Now I am ready to sell. However, do I need a website if they provide banners and e-mails and articles, etc? Just how should I structure this? I tolld you that this was “elementary” but I am used to purchasing packages from the gurus that come all completed….I haven’t made any money anywhere yet!

Thanks so much and God bless you for all of your help!
