Choosing And Dominating Your Niche

March 6th, 2008Reviews No Comments

Choosing a niche market just plain buffaloes a lot of people. It may be the number one reason so many people don’t even get started with their Internet Marketing projects.

Beyond choosing a niche, everything that comes after can be overwhelming to a prospective marketer. There is a lot to learn, and the school of hard knocks is not the most efficient way to learn anything.

If the above describes you in any way, Rob Benwell has come to your rescue. You may remember Rob as the purveyor of Blogging To The Bank, a fine introductory course on how to get a WordPress niche blog up and running. Now Rob has taken this process to a much higher level with the release of his Niche Annihilation Method.

I had the privilege of a review copy. At first I thought it was just a bit basic and watered down, as the first 38 pages were about conversion enhancements. That’s useful information, but covered no new ground for me.

But then, on page 39, Rob kicked things into gear with a 31 day plan that included a load of videos that explain each small part of the plan in great detail. There are so many videos that I can truly say that the ebook alone justifies the asking price. But in typical Rob fashion, he piles on enough bonuses that the purchase decision becomes a no brainer.

While I’m not sure that you can dominate any niche you choose, I am sure that you can find one that you will be able to do well in with the help of Rob’s Niche Annihilation Method.

Yes, the title’s a bit hypey, as is the sales letter, but if you look beyond that and use the information Rob provides, the mystery of how to really make money in a profitable niche will vanish.

Long term readers know I don’t recommend most of the countless products that I get asked to promote. But this one is a real winner.

I am recommending Rob’s Niche Annihilation Method without hesitation. It’s appropriate for anyone who hasn’t gotten to making real money from their web sites.

James Brausch’s Testing Newsletter Testimonial

March 4th, 2008Reviews No Comments

One of the conditions of getting a free copy of James Brausch’s new Testing Newsletter was to provide a testimonial. Here’s mine:

In clear, straight to the point fashion, James Brausch breaks down a sales letter element by element so that the reader can understand what to test and the wide variety of results that can result from those tests.

The case in point is a signup page, really a sales letter, for recruiting interns to work for James and learn the steps to a truly profitable online business. James maintains that this has a real monetary value, as he can measure the monetary results his interns provide.

Tests cover everything from top page margins, headline size and color, to testimonials.

As an example of the range of conversion measured for the graphic used on the page, results ranged from a dollar value of $6.25 to $20.00. No graphic at all scored almost as well as the winning graphic.

Real results from real people beat all the theory that’s flogged about the Internet Marketing World. James’ results are based on real results with his MuVar software.

I’m a regular reader of James Brausch’s blog. It is a breath of fresh air in a world of Internet Marketing hype.

Seven Dollar Script Revolutionized Internet Marketing in 2007

January 10th, 2008Reviews No Comments

I’ve decided that I’ll start the series of the best Internet Marketing products of 2007 with what I consider the most influential Internet Marketing product of 2007. Even major marketers started using this script, or a variation of it, to build their lists.

Jon Leger’s The Seven Dollar Secret revolutionized Internet Marketing with its ability to build lists of PAYING customers fast by paying affiliates instantly for their referral. Yes it was buggy at first, and created some customer service issues and a knock from PayPal for actually letting people know they could make money from it. To keep out of trouble with PayPal the resell angle/instant affiliate commission blurb has to NOT be on the sales page. And the current version has been tamed out now, with a new script owner, Don Morris, and an updated, stable version.

The Seven Dollar script also included the ability to add a one time offer. It was a very basic version of some of Mike Filsaime’s Butterfly Marketing ideas for the “little guy.” It unleashed a flurry of infoproducts from new and experienced Internet Marketers, and became generic in its own right.

In just a few months this went from a cutting edge raw marketing tool to the mainstream. Now there are four or five variations of this script idea that do more. Of course they cost more than seven bucks.

A year ago no one knew about this, though a few savvy marketers used the process. Now it’s an essential tool for most info product marketers. I can’t think of anything else that affected so many marketers, in so short a time. (But if you can, you’re welcome to leave a comment.)

I’m calling the Seven Dollar Script THE Internet Marketing Product of 2007.

Blogging To The Bank 2

July 3rd, 2007Blogging, Recommendations, Reviews No Comments

If blogging is a direction you’d like to explore in your site and list building, Rob Benwell has redone his Blogging To The Bank eBook, and it’s a good one.

I was fairly critical of Rob’s first book, as the free bloggng methods stopped working when too many people started doing them, and at the time it was obvious to me that his success was a temporary thing.

When Rob sent me a copy of his new release, I read it as a true skeptic would. And I was very surprised to find out I liked what Rob was now saying, and his discovery that long term oriented blog building, hosted on permanent sites, is truly the way to go.

Unlike many who rest on their laurels, Rob paid attention to what was not working, and tested new methods that kept his blogs profitable. And guess what, those new methods were all about permanence and good content.

What I don’t like about Blogging To The Bank 2 is that Rob recommends some services, like Yahoo Hosting and GetResponse autoresponders, that I personally don’t care for.

But that’s a quibble, and anyone can leave a comment here with their email address and find out how to get extremely affordable whm/cpanel reseller hosting that’s ideal for blogging. And if you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know I like Aweber as an autoresponder service over GetResponse.

One of the things I really like about Rob’s new ebook, is the section on getting traffic to your blog. This was written by a guest author who really knows his stuff and shows you how to work the four prime Web 2.0 search - bookmarking - review sites to get targeted traffic to your blog.

I do recommend this ebook for anyone wanting a model of how to get started blogging, and how to get to making some money doing it. I don’t print out many ebooks that I read any more, but I did print out entire sections of this. And yes, Rob puts a big emphasis on building lists in his new methods.

In short, Blogging To The Bank 2 is a recommended No Brainer!
