Welcome to another Sunday with yours truly and thanks so much for letting me be a small part of your day. :~) If you're new today, a warm welcome to you. I hope you'll enjoy the issue. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season! Did Santa bring you everything you wanted? :~) I just got back from Wyoming where I visited my oldest son, daughter-in-law and 2 granddaughters for Christmas. I hadn't seen them in a little over 2 years, since the youngest was only 10 days old, so it was really nice going out there to visit. We had a great time and it was an extra special treat seeing them during the holiday season. The girls' faces lit up when they saw what Santa (and two grandmas) had brought them for Christmas. My granddaughters are the two cutest little girls in the whole world, in my opinion. :~) And they're so sweet, too, when they want to be. LOL Seriously, they're pretty well-behaved kids. I posted some pictures online for you. You can see them here: Adorable Little Girls They plan to come to Michigan next July for our family reunion plus my son and daughter-in-law's 10 year class reunion. (Has it been that long already since they graduated? LOL) So that gives my other 3 kids a chance to see their brother and his family. Next August will be 4 years since we've all been together at one time, which was at my oldest daughter's wedding. We're not used to this long distance stuff. We've always been really close and it's hard on us not seeing each other for so long. Maybe I can talk both my son and daughter into moving back here. (That's probably wishful thinking, but I'll give it a shot anyway. LOL) Enough rambling. It's time to let you get on with the rest of the issue. I'll see you here in two weeks. Until then, be profitable!

By Marlon Sanders I want to talk to you about how you make products make you a living so that you don't have to "work" for a living. First, let me remind you of something in case you don't know. I've been at this "Game" longer than just about anybody still active and producing in our market. Back BEFORE the Big Seminar, BEFORE Yanik's seminars, BEFORE about anyone's seminars, Jonathan Mizel, Declan Dunn and yours truly put on the shindig known as the "Boulder Seminar." For 4 years, we put on the seminar everyone who was anyone attended to get the real inside scoop on Internet marketing. I've spoken around the world at over 120 seminars. I've successfully produced and sold DOZENS of info products. Yet, NONE of those things matters that much. What DOES matter is this: In the last 7 years, I haven't "worked" much. I read, hang out at bookstores and coffee shops. And check in with my staff daily, of course. Now, for 7 years, I did NOT have an office outside of my home. I had a few virtual assistants (mostly that was Lisa). Today, I have a small office with 2-3 employees, depending on the month. My point is THIS: My products make me my living, so I don't have to invest a great deal of personal work and effort. I've been doing it LONGER than anybody and, frankly, have created the best step-by-step system for teaching it. The process is simple: 1. Find a group of people with money to spend and the willingness to spend it on a passion, hobby or compelling personal interest 2. Come up with 12 product ideas 3. Do your 12-product survey 4. Find experts to provide content on that topic 5. Create your info product 6. Set up your download page 7. Set up your order taking That's basically my system. Nearly everyone SKIPS the 12-product survey. Big mistake! In the Info Product Dashboard, I show you actual survey results, just so you can SEE with your own eyes how much of a difference doing a 12-product survey makes. See, if you choose the product to sell that gets the FEWEST votes on a 12-product survey, you're dead in the water before you begin. Now, the next issue people have problems with is coming up with the 12 product ideas. What most people do WRONG here is they create product ideas LIKE what is already selling. That's dumb. I show you how to use Marketing Warfare strategy to do what's called a "flanking" move. My whole business is built on FLANKING product ideas. In the Info Product Dashboard, I show you how to do these moves. I talked much more in depth about that last year in "The Red Factor." So if you have that, you're ahead of the learning curve. Most people have NO IDEA or clue how to select winning product ideas. So if you HAVE produced a product in the past that did NOT sell, THIS is likely the reason. a. You didn't use Marketing Warfare strategy b. You didn't do your 12-product survey Now, in terms of finding experts, if you already have content, you don't need experts. But if you don't have expertise on the topic, you need to find and interview experts and spin this into an attractive info product. I give you the email template to send out and a resource that together have a 30% success rate for one of my friends. Oh, he pays ZERO for those interviews. And has $10,000 a month coming in from doing them. The logistics of creating and delivering the info product and setting up the download page STOPS a lot of people. That is why I've had professional graphics created for you. The graphics alone would cost you more to get done than the cost of the Info Product Dashboard. For the advanced people, I show you to use Amember to set up a back end membership site system. And I show you to do an OTO using Amember. To my knowledge, until this product, no one had EVER published how to do that or figured it out. If you're a newbie, I give you an alternative to using Amember. The point is, I've figured out all the logistics of creating, editing, packaging and delivering your product for you, so you don't have to waste time figuring it out from scratch. And for the next 60 days, I have a forum set up where you can ask questions if you get stuck. ALSO, I'll be holding a 6 week teleconference to reveal advanced secrets. This is my OTO you'll receive at HALF PRICE when you snag it in the next 72 hours. Because I have to start those calls before long, you need to get in NOW if you want the 1/2 priced coaching via my OTO. Of course, the Info Product Dashboard by itself stands alone as a super power house to get the job done. The 6-week program is for those of you who want ADVANCED help and training. My question to you is this: If you haven't produced your OWN INFO PRODUCT yet, what's it gonna take for you to DO IT? Seriously. What will it take? Nothing else anywhere at any price breaks it down into this step-by-step of a system. A new year is coming. Why don't you get on the program and have a product done by mid January to market?

The father and son were strolling around while the wife shopped. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again. The boy asked, "Paw, What's 'at?" The father said, "Son, I dunno. I ain't never seen anything like that in my entire life. I ain't got no idea what the heck it is." While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a large old woman in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened, the lady rolled between them into a small room, and they closed. The boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. When the number one was lit again, the walls opened up. The boy and his father watched in amazement as a beautiful young woman stepped out of the small room. The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son, "Boy, go get your mother." Expert Advice Each week I'll publish some tips or advice. I'll try to cover every subject I can think of, but if you have any suggestions, please send them to me at the e-mail address listed below. 9 Sure-Fire Ways To Intensify Your Sales 1. Team up with your weaker competitors to beat your stronger competitors. You can create win/win joint venture and cross promotion deals with them. 2. Design your site so it will be worth bookmarking. Your visitors will bookmark your web site if it's full of free original content like articles, ebooks, etc. 3. Offer your customers back-end products. It is easier to sell to existing customers. If you do not have a back-end product, join an affiliate program. 4. Increase the perceived value of your product. You could give away free bonuses or use famous people's endorsements in your ad. 5. Remind your visitors to promote your web site. Use phrases like "Refer Our Web Site To A Friend" or "Link To Our Web Site." 6. Make your testimonials more powerful. You can include pictures, handwritten signatures and contact information with each testimonial. 7. Up-sell to all your customers. You could sell add-on products, deluxe products, extra parts, related products, add-on services, etc. 8. Place your ad in targeted ezines. Ask the owner if you could place your ad in a higher position in exchange for a percentage of the ad's profits. 9. Provide a privacy statement and all your contact information on every page of your web site. This will persuade your visitors and prospects to trust you.
