The No B.S. internet marketing Blog By Lauri Niskasaari

Okay, it`s time to drive traffic to your squeeze page and get some subscribers.

I`m going to give you several methods of driving lots of traffic and getting subscribers so pay attention!

The first way is to drive traffic is: Traffic Exchanges…

Now, most of people online just love to hate traffic exchanges and that`s because they have tried them and failed with them. The single most biggest reason for failing with traffic exchanges is trying to direct sell something or promoting affiliate link with them…

You have to understand how traffic exchanges work before you go using them. Otherwise you will fail!

If traffic exchanges are new to you, here`s how they work: You visit other people`s websites for a certain period of time ( usually 10-30 seconds) and you`ll earn credits for that. Those credits are used to have someone to visit your site.

So, you only have to point and click, or surf sites as we say.

That`s all there is to do! Sounds simple enough?

Well, it`s simple but you need to understand that traffic exchanges are NOT marketplaces. You can`t sell anything with traffic exchanges…just go ahead and try to make direct sales and promote your affiliate link and you will see what I mean.

People Are Not Surfing traffic Exchanges to buy anything so if you`re promoting affiliate products (or your own products)
you can be sure your results will be devastating!

If you`re lucky you can make a sale every 10000 pageviews or something like that…and make $7…

But The only way you can be successful with traffic exchanges is to build your list! That`s good news for you because we`ve been talking about list building lately…

The downside of traffic exchanges is that you need to surf minimum 1 hour / day to see good results and you need to have a special squeeze page that grabs attention FAST because you only have few seconds before your website visitor surfs away from your squeeze page.

People Who are surfing traffic exchanges are In Hurry!

You need to find a way to STOP THEM and make them read your free offer…and sign up to your list!

So, What’s going to make them stop surfing?

It`s Your HEADLINE!

But how to create attention-getting headline? Well, it`s very easy…

You go and surf traffic exchanges and look for headlines that STOP YOU and make you want to check out what`s it all about.  Then you take elements of the best headlines you see around and write up your own eye-grabbing headline.

So, headline is the most important thing about your squeeze page when using traffic exchanges, but there are also other very important things:

* Everything should be “Above the fold” (You should Scroll down as little as possible!)
* Bullet points that tell what’s inside your newsletter / report.
* E-cover for your newsletter / report. (This is important because it automatically adds value to your offer!)
* Branding yourself.(As you see, there’s my name and face on the site.)

That`s pretty much all you need for your squeeze page.

Click Here to see example of squeeze page that works good with traffic exchanges…
(that`s a squeeze page for my traffic exchange inferno report / ecourse)

…and You can model my squeeze page if you wish. Just click here to download the template and edit it out with your own details…

Okay, after you`ve got your squeeze page done, you obviously need to sign up to traffic exchanges and surf for credits so you`ll get traffic and sign-ups to your list.

I suggest you click here to check out affiliate funnel top 10 listing for best converting TE`s. Pick 5-7 top traffic exchanges and go with them. (They`re free to join…)

Note: My favourite traffic exchange is traffic-splash. You can join for free by clicking here…

So, All you need to do is surf for credits and you should see subscribers signing up to your list soon. You should surf minimum 1 hour a day to see results. It can be boring but it`s worth of your time.

Actually I started my list-building career with traffic exchanges in the first place and it`s one of the easiest ways to get going.

Oh, there`s also a MUST ebook for everyone who wants to be successful with traffic exchanges. It`s 13 deadly traffic exchange tragedies and currently you can get it for FREE By clicking this link… I don`t know how long it will be free so you better get it immediately.

I also suggest you listen to two bonus interviews that come with the ebook because they`re worth of gold!

P.S. Have you joined Affiliate Funnel yet? Click here to check them out and join for free…

Okay, once you have written your follow up email, you need to load it up to your autoresponder.

This is how it goes with aweber: click Messages ==> Follow up

And then click add new follow up message:

And then you`ll get to add the headline and choose if you want to choose html or plain text template for your email.

This is how it looks like:

I almost always use html template (basic template).

This is because html template allows you to track open rates for your email and add nice-looking tracking links to my emails.

…and If you use plain text template, you can`t track open rates and if you want to track clicks, the link looks ugly (and long).

The thing is, if you want to add a link to affiliate product using html template, you can make it look like it`s not affiliate link at all…All you need to do is click insert / edit hyperlink button:

And then you`ll come up with the box where you fill in the details of your link:

…and You can enter something like “Check this out” to link text section to make your link look good.

For example you have a product you want to promote and you`ve got affiliate url like:  http://xxxxx.xxxxx.hop.clickbank.net/  you can enter something like “check this out” as text and you`ve just created a good-looking clickable link that doesn`t look like affiliate link.

So instead of giving out ugly looking affiliate link (that no-one wants to click) your link looks nice and like part of your email content. This is a good way to increase your click through rates.

After that you`ll need to enter how many days after your previous follow-up message you want your current message to be sent.

Also remember to check the Track links box so you can see how many clicks you get:

After that you can preview and save your message and you`re all set. Pretty easy, right?

Okay, This is my No B.S review about Murder your bills by Fabian Tan.

First, I`ve been doing JV`s and stuff with Fabian and I know the guy…But that doesn`t mean I have to praise his product just because he is my friend.

Maybe once he reads this review, he will delete my email address from his contact list, but as I see this, my job is to tell my honest opinion about his Murder your bills package.

So, hold on to your hat `cause here we go!

So, when we land on the sales page, you will see this:

Yeah, copywriting skills are used to make you feel like once you get this package, you will be making lots of cash without too much effort.  You will get ten complete businesses and blah blah blah…

That`s what you could expect from good-written sales page…Nothing wrong with that if the product is living to its expectations…

As you can see at the sales page, murder your bills is taking advantage of the recession.

I mean, people want to know how to:

• Save money on Gas. How come,  inside the MYB package you will find few guides about saving money on gas.

• Make extra money if they are unempoyed. There`s a solution for that also.

• Stay on budget during  “dark economical times”. That`s Covered in murder your bills package also…

• Survive Recession. That`s what this package claims to deal with!

Basically, there`s bunch of ebooks that give you tips on saving / making money during the “bad times” and I`ll reveal each and every one of them in this review so you can see if Murder Your Bills Package is worth of your money…

To be honest, I think it`s a good idea to offer people practical guides about surviving through hard economical times.

I mean, I thought this would be another “make money with internet marketing” sort of package where you are being taught how to make lots of cash as affiliate…

But then again, are these quality ebooks where you can find useful advice…or is this just a disguised effort to rip you off?

So let`s see what`s inside the package, shall we?

This is a pic from inside the members area so you`ll see what`s inside:

First on the list is: “How to prosper during the hard times” (61 pages)

I`m going to be honest with you here…This is not my favourite ebook in the package. Looks like it`s wrapped up using articles from all around the net…like wikipedia and article sites…

Well, the info is good but it gives sort of a “why should I be paying when you can find it for free” -feeling…

—————————————-

second on the list: “62 ways to save money at the gas pump” (61 pages)

Okay, this was interesting…I didn`t have big expectations with this one but seems I learned few important facts about saving gas. (Even when this ebook is targeted for people living in US and I live in Europe)

I didn`t know that (according to this ebook) Only 15 percent of the fuel that you put into your car gets used and the rest of the energy is lost for many reasons…And of course this ebook tells you how you can minimize that loss.

And there are lots of useful info like this: Gasoline becomes denser in colder temperatures. Basically this means that if I fill up my gas tank in the cooler morning temperatures, or in the colder evening hours, I will be getting better gas price economy!

And there`s more of the juicy info inside this book…

—————————————-

Number three on the list: “Household Budgeting” (56 pages)

I didn`t have too big hopes with this either but I must say it`s pretty nice info and it covers importance of budgeting setting your financial goals.

This is for people who want to:

-Gain control of their financial life, monthly bills and spending
-Be prepared and avoid surprises
-Save for a major purchase
-Opt out of a vicious circle of ever-spiraling debt or spend-now-pay-later thinking
-Expand their lifestyle(s)
-Retire early
-Eliminate money as a source of tension and topic for argument
-Rediscover that the best things in life are FREE!
-Becoming self-reliant and empowered to know that debt does not rule their lives

Nice ebook with lots of useful information.

—————————————-

Number four on the list: “15 top ways to save money” ( 68 pages)

And here are the 15 ways that are covered in the book:

-How to save on insurance
-How to save on auto loans
-How to save on mortgage loans
-How to save on credit cards
-How to save on gasoline
-How to save on car repairs
-How to save on home improvement
-How to save on home heating and energy
-How to save on phone service
-How to save on major appliances
-How to save on furniture
-How to save on clothing
-How to save on groceries
-How to save on vacations
-How to save on prescription drugs

There`s no introduction whatsoever. It jumps straight to the tips…

It`s all very basic information. Can be good info for some people. But it`s surely cr*p for others…I didn`t get much outta this ebook, tho.

—————————————-

Number five: “How To Sell Your House Without An Agent And At The Best Price Possible” ( 67 pages)

I`m not planning to sell my house but I still had to check out what`s this ebook is all about.

First, the additional header you can see inside the book is : 101 Tips For Selling Your Home Yourself!

It`s a basic course for people who want to sell their house and at the first look, there are lots of useful tricks you can use to convince people to buy your house…and what you should tell to potential buyers…

Pretty nice information inside this one.

—————————————-

Number six: “Hypermiling secrets” (How To Make Your Car Go A Lot Further With Less Gas) ( 27 pages)

where have I heard the gas saving tips before…hmm…Oh yeah, the book 2 ( 62 ways to save at the gas pump) on the package already gave us 62 ways on that!

So, what`s new? Actually, nothing…Few additional tips compared to book 2…So, this book could have been taken out of the list if you ask me.

—————————————-

Number seven: “Gas-saving Devices: Fuel Saver or Consumer Scam?” ( 27 pages)

Hey…Maybe this package should have been “murder your gas bills” or something…I`m getting tired of the gas-saving tips already.

Oh, sorry…this one was about gas saving devices so I better watch my words and dive in to this ebook…

Actually I learned a LOT from this ebook and I`m happy I gave it a read!

This is what it`s all about:

FTC has tested more than 100 products on the market that claim a person can save 20% or more on their gas expenses. However, this agency wasn’t able to verify any of these products could offer those results or any significant benefit at all.

Inside this book you will discover a list of devices that actually work and avoid devices that can damage your vehicle!

Useful info if you ask me!

—————————————-

Number eight inside the Murder your Bills package: Moving Abroad ( 37 pages)

Oh geez…how moving abroad can help you to survice recession? Is it like this: “Help! It`s recession, lets bail out and move abroad!”

Just wondering what the heck is this book doing here?!

I`m going to take a read to figure it out…

So, maybe some people find job in another country and want to move and this book gives some advice on that. There`s info about visas and work permits…and settling in to your new life. Not bad to read if you are about to move abroad. But in my opinion this is a filler material to make the package look bigger…

Then again, it`s just my opinion. Not bad info but still…

—————————————-

Number nine: “Getting Yourself Organized!” ( 52 pages)

I was a little skeptical about this…But then I realized one important thing; it`s really important to feel good about you!

And organizing can actually help you with this.

Inside this book I found out lots of good tips that make you feel better. Actually, the first section about cleaning the clutter was awesome!

Once your house is clean, you feel better. I`ve proven that many times as I`ve cleaned our house and I`m going to prove that again later on today as I finish this review

Feeling good about your life is important and if you organize your life, you can surely feel better. If your life seems out of control, you will feel better once you re-organize it all.  Try it and you`ll see it!

There`s lots of interesting stuff inside this ebook.

—————————————-

Number ten: “Recession Survival :How to Profit From AnEconomic Recession” ( 31 pages)

I was looking forward to read this book and it was good stuff. Could have been longer tho, but good stuff…

This helps you to understand that recession is actually a normal thing and here comes as surprise: If we didn’t have economic recessions from time to time to the business world would be in trouble! ( just read the book and you`ll understand…)

Inside there are tips on how you can prosper with real estate and stocks…and Recession Proof Your Job…

This is a “little book of hope” if you ask me and it`s worth of reading!

The bonuses inside the members area at the time of writing this review:

Bonus 1. “Conquer PLR” (9 pages + giveaway rights)

9 pages of basic stuff about what you can do with PLR stuff. Could have been more detailed but should get you started…

Bonus 2. “How I built a mailing list of 261K subscribers in less than 2 years!” (12 pages + giveaway rights)

Okay, Fabian Shares his secrets of building his lists…Not too detailed and there`s one step (buying lead packages) that I do not recommend…and if you use aweber I doubt you can even do it…But overall it`s good stuff and you can benefit from it.

Bonus 3. “No Money Down Videos” (26 videos + 4 Bonus videos)

This covers lots of stuff about setting up and making some cash online. Some of the tips are outdated but most of the stuff is worth of watching and you will most likely learn lots of stuff you can use.

———————————————————————–

One more thing I want to discuss is selling these books.

I mean, the sales page promised 10 ready-made Businesses so what`s that all about?

Every product inside Murder your bills package come with private label rights and you can sell them…You will get sales pages and graphics for the products so you can go ahead and make cash with them…

…if you happen to know HOW to sell them…

There are no detailed instrucions on how to set up hosting and domain. Or how to set up payment link with paypal or any other payment processor…

You are just being told you need to have a hosting and domain in order for your website to come visible.

This shouldn`t be a problem if you already have hosting and domain and you know how to handle the tech stuff.  Basically All you do is go to paypal and generate order button and plug it in to sales page and upload it all to your server. But if you`re a newbie, that can be really hard!

That`s why I would have like to seen step by step instructions on how to do that…

——————————————————-

So, there you have it! Murder your Bills package is now reviewed. (one of the longest reviews I´ve ever written)

in a nutshell, it`s not a perfect package. There is lots of good informations inside the package And there is also some filler material that could have been left out.

Still, It`s pretty good stuff if you ask me.

I hope this review helps you to make your decision if murder your bills is for you or not.

Okay, in this post I will show you how to format your follow up email so it`s easy to read and I`ll show you how to monetize the messages in a way that you`ll make money without selling.

You`ll be writing Content-based emails so you won`t hard-sell anything. Just write good content so your subscribers begin to see you as valuable source they can trust.

In case you missed a lesson on how to write content-based emails:

…click here to see part 1…

…and click here to see part 2 (Links open in a new window)

So, let`s get going…

Okay, formatting your email is very important because if your email is hard to read, you give unprofessional impression and your subscribers don`t bother to read what you are saying…

I mean, when you write your email messages, you should have enough “white space” in your email messages.

I`ll demonstrate this with the “lorem ipsum” dummy text…

1. Without white space:

“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.”

2. With white space:

“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit,
sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco

laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate
velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident,
sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit,
sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco

laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate
velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident,
sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.”

As you can see, example 1 is pretty hard to read and your eyes don`t have time to rest.

Example 2 demonstrates how much difference white space can make. White space gives the eye a chance to rest, and it`s very important when you write online document.

Physical offline documents like books and newspapers are quite easy to read even if they have text close together but online documents need to be designed in a different way.

It`s a proven fact that it`s harder for out eyes to look at computer monitor than offline document and that`s why people don`t want to read emails that are not formatted the right way; It`s simply not easy to read!

To make your email easier to read, you should have white space and text breaks in your email messages.

What you should do is write as short sentences as you can and add text breaks (white space) between paragraphs.

I usually write paragraphs that contain two or three sentences and then add text break…

When you write email messages, make sure you send a test email to your own email address to see everything looks fine and it`s easy to read.

Next you should monetize your email message but you`ll do it without selling. As you remember, people don`t like to be sold…

But if you give valuable information away and close out your email message with “additional resource” in form of affiliate link,  people will be interested in checking out that link and you`ll have a high chance of making sales.

Basically All you need to do is add a P.S. at the end of the content email and watch what happens.

So, if you write email follow up, this is how it should look like:

——————————————-

Hey firstname,

content content content content
content content content content

content content content content
content content content content

content content content content
content content content content

content content content content
content content content content

Thanks for reading,
-Your name

P.S. If you want to know how to _____(fill in the blank)
You should Check this out:
—And your link goes here—

——————————–

So, what you do is add a P.S. at the bottom of your email. But there`s a catch…

If you write about web hosting, for example, you should recommend a web hosting company you are using or ebook that tells about setting up hosting and website…and of course you should give out your affiliate link so you`ll make money in the process

So, Your P.S. or signature line Should go hand in hand with the content you write and you`ll see people clicking through your link

and if we use the web hosting as example, your P.S. should be something like this:

P.S. You want to know where I host my sites?
—and your link here—

Don`t hard sell anything here. Just put out your affiliate link as additional resource for your subscribers.

Oh, and you shouldn`t write too long emails (or blog posts) because your subscribers want to get info fast!  Keep your emails short but informative and you`ll be doing great!

In next post I`ll show you how to actually load up your autoresponder follow up messages…

P.S. I think you could also benefit from this relationship marketing guide…It will teach you how to make good money by creating relatioship with your readers…

In this blog post I`ll show you how to write autoresponder follow-up emails to create relationship with your subscribers so they can`t wait to read your next email.

First, here are some basic rules of relationship marketing with autoresponder:

• Provide useful information. Don’t send a message out only when you want to promote something.

• Ask what your subscribers want and need. One of the best ways to get good relationship with your subscriber is to simply ask them: “How can I help you?” and after that give them what they need.

• Send Gifts. Give away free reports, free templates, free software…You can use tradebit.com to find lots of unrestricted private label rights ebooks, software and articles. You can do pretty much anything you want with those products (just make sure you check out the rights) Just do a search at tradebit.com with keyword “PLR” and you`ll come up with lots of stuff you can give away (and put your name as author…)

• Let them know you`re a human. Tell them about your personal side of life…let them know you`re not perfect and you`ve made mistakes and learned from them…You can also share something about your personal life if you will. Just let them see you`re a human, not another “sales robot” talking about new product launches.

• Educate your readers. If you write emails in form of free lessons, tips and tricks your subscribers will fall in love with you.  They will see you as a their mentor and friend and they will happily read your emails….And later on they will also happily read emails where you recommend a product or service you suggest them to check out.

So, that`s very basic stuff but it`s very powerful. If you just apply those few rules above, your subscribers will fall in love with you and once you recommend affiliate product or service, they will check it out because it`s YOU who recommended that product. That`s because they have learned that you are valuable source and you send only good stuff that`s worth of checking out!

Now you know the basics and I suggest you read the list above again so you REALLY get the point…

In next post we`ll get into creating the actual content to your follow-up emails.

P.S. If you want to learn how to make lots of money using Relationship marketing, you will LOVE this relationship marketing guide…

In this post I want to point out few simple FACTS about email marketing…

They say money is in the list. That`s a phrase you`ve heard about million times before but I`m going to crush that phrase and flush it down the toilet!

MONEY IS NOT IN THE LIST!

go ahead and say: “What the heck? But you say that the list is your most important money-making tool and…”

Well, yeah…few years ago you could have  loaded up any pre-written sales email and make money but today it`s not that easy.

You need to understand the fact that more and more of people are using autoresponders and MOST of those marketers use autoresponders to send out nothing more but sales pitches…(some people call it spamming…)

And it means more and more people are used of getting loads of JUNK emails saying: “Buy this and Buy that and This offer ends midnight so get yours while you still can…BUY, BUY, BUY!”

You know what I mean, don`t you?

I mean, How many emails you have gotten in past few days that had no other content but “Buy this awesome product…”

…And how many emails you have gotten that actually helped you?

Now, my guess is you have gotten MORE of the “buy this and buy that” emails…and I guess you are tired of receiving endless stream of sales pitches because you most likely feel like the marketers who send you stuff like that are just trying to rip you off!

the Question here is: “Do you want to buy something from them?” (Especially when you get 10 exactly same emails with same exact headlines in the same day…)

Do you really think you will be making long-term money with email marketing if YOU go and load up your autoresponder with those “buy this product now” -emails? The answer is NO! You can make some money, but if all you offer is endless stream of sales pitches, your subscribers begin to think you only want their money and guess what happens? You`ve just lost a subscriber…

The biggest reason why most of people fail miserably online with email marketing  is because they have this mentality of “I just want to get paid, no matter what!” and those people make internet marketing look bad!

I am going to be honest with you here: If your ony motivation is to make sales, I suggest you forget about online business right away! You will fail if your number one motivation is to make money and there`s nothing more in it for you! You will only become another marketer who is sending out sales pitches that no-one wants to read.

I confess..I used to be like that also…And I´m not too proud about it…

I used to wonder what I am doing wrong because I`m not making sales and people want to unsubscribe from my list(s)…and in general, I didn`t feel happy about the way I was running my business. Simply, there was no joy in it and I was feeling empty inside…

…But Then I learned something that changed it all…

What I`m going to teach you here is the most important thing of successful internet marketing. (or any business whatsoever.)

When you write to your subscribers, your main motivation should Never, ever be in making sales!

Now, making sales and getting checks is awesome but if you are not helping people to achieve Their goals, your online business will fail miserably and sooner or later you will begin to feel like crap!

The Most important factor about making money with email marketing is based on helping your subscribers  to achieve their goals!

Okay, you can ask: “And how giving free information makes me any money…”

Well, You must understand that your subscribers need to have a Good Reason To Buy From You.

What I`m saying is that you need to build a relationship with your subscribers and give them good information they can put in action and use immediately. (But you shouldn`t write email that`s full of your affiliate links…)

You need to earn the right to recommend your own products and services (or affiliate products). You see, you need to prove you are “the good guy” who wants to help people…Not another greedy marketer who only wants to sell stuff.

If you give enough useful and good information away for free, your subscribers begins to see you as a your friend (and that`s who you should be…a friend to your subscriber) and they begin to trust you. And once they trust you and you recommend them your affiliate products (that you actually reviewed and used yourself to see it`s actually good product) You will make LOTS of sales.

You begin to see how this works?

Your relationship with your subscribers is the most important thing about making money outta your list. When you give away good information, your subscribers look forward to reveive emails from you…and that`s a really good position to be in!

In a nuthsell, If your readers get lots of good information from you, they begin to think that you are one of the few people online who actually cares about them and wants to help them. Once they see your email in their inbox, they will smile because they know that what you say is worth of their time (and money) because you are revealing them things that will benefit them!

Really, this is the Ultimate Secret Of making money with email marketing…

in  the next post I`ll show you how to write emails that are full of good content and useful information…even if you think you`re a complete newbie who has nothing to write about.

Okay, I´ll point out few things about getting started with autoresponder.

First, I use aweber and I really don`t have any interest  on changing my autoresponder. (Yeah, they are awesome, that`s why… and in case you don`t already have autoresponder, click here to check out aweber…)

…And I don`t know if other AR`s have the same functions…But let`s get started and you should get the point.

After you`ve created your list at your autoresponder, you should customize your “confirm message”.

With aweber it`s done by clicking My lists ==> Confirmed opt-in:

And as you click you will see this:

You should customize the subject line first…

This is my subject line with my secret paypal cash list:

— {!firstname_fix}, Confirm your request for Secret PayPal Cash -report —

the {!firstname_fix} inserts first name of the subscriber to the message and I suggest you personalize your message.  Customizing your subject line is important!

Next you have “Intro” box and the main reason for this intro is to get people click the “confirm” link so they will opt-in to your list. This is the message I use with my secret paypal cash:

“Hey {!firstname}. I received your request for
`Secret PayPal Cash` -report (Value $67)

Before you get to download your report, you need to confirm
your email address and make sure it`s really YOU who
requested this information.

All you need to do is click the link below to confirm and
you`ll receive your Secret PayPal Cash report to your inbox…

———————————————————–
CONFIRM BY VISITING THE LINK BELOW:

http://www.aweber.com/z/c/?xxxxxxxx

Click the link above to give us permission to send you
information. It’s fast and easy! If you cannot click the
full URL above, please copy and paste it into your web
browser.

———————————————————–
If you do not want to confirm, simply ignore this message.”

———————————————————–

Again, You`re welcome to use my intro message as your template. Just edit it out to fit your needs…

The final thing at this page is to edit out “confirmation success page”:

In earlier blog post I discussed about setting up confirm / thankyou / download pages. (You can see that blog post by clicking here…)

In short, What you need to do is set up a page where people will be redirected after they click the confirm link…You can see my “confirmation success page” by clicking here… That page makes me nice amount of extra money so it`s well worth of setting up a page like that! You can download the template for the exact page I´m using by clicking here… All you need to do is edit it out with your  info and add affiliate link to product you wish to promote and your all set…

Okay, Once you`ve set up your redirects, you need to obviously have a follow-up message where you give your download link to your free report.

If you use aweber, go to Messages ==> Follow up => Add new follow up message:

I use this very simple email as my Welcome email with my secret paypal cash report:

First, subject line:

{!firstname_fix}, Download Link For Secret PayPal Cash -report

…and this is the actual content:

…and that`s it! (Again, you can model my welcome message if you wish…Just edit out with your details…)

Very simple, Introduce yourself and then give the link for your free report.

I also suggest you start to interact with your subscribers by saying they can contact you if they need any help. It`s very important to build a relationship between you and your subscriber and you should be there for your subscribers…

Go and set up your redirects, thank you pages and your first follow-up message now…We`ll be talking more about follow-up messages later on but this should get you started…

P.S. If you want to learn how to generate LOTS OF MONEY with REALLY SMALL  list, I recommend you click here now…

…And in case you still don`t know how to set up a website, I recommend you check this out:

Okay, I`ll be showing how to make money before your subscriber even gets to read your free report! I use this method with all my lists and it`s making me extra $100-200+ every month so it`s pretty cool.

So, you got your squeeze page set up and you`re ready to rumble

There`s one more thing I´d like you to do and it is “Thank you page”. Actually I am using two of thank you pages.

Here`s example for my secret paypal cash report:

First, when people sign-up to my list,  They are being redirected to another page which you can see by clicking here…

As you see, I´m not selling anything at that page. I´m just telling people they should confirm their email address BEFORE they get my free report…Now, this is very important! If you don`t tell people they need to confirm they email, they may just end up missing your confirmation email and they never subscribe to your list!

This is what I tell at my page:

“You will be receiving an email from me, Lauri Niskasaari,

from the email address Lauri @ SecretPayPalCash with the subject line: “Confirm your request for Secret PayPal Cash -report

Check Your Inbox Now for the confirmation email!”

If you don`t do this, there`s a chance of having unconfirmed subscribers meaning they actually are NOT on your list unless they confirm their email! Now, if you just redirect people from your squeeze page to your affiliate link, they may end up being confused and forget to confirm their email…

That`s why you should Do the selling AFTER they have confirmed their email address!

You can use my page as example for creating your own “confirm” page and you can download the template by clicking here.

Just edit it out with your info in your html editor and upload to your server.

There are two ways to do this:

1. upload the php file to your domain root…In this case your page is located at www.yourdomain.com/confirm.php

2. You can create a folder called “confirm” in your ftp and upload the file to that folder and rename it as index.htm (and go and see your confirm page works fine at www.yourdomain.com/confirm)

After you`ve uploaded you need to set a redirect at your autoresponder so when people sign up to your list, the first thing they see is that page. If you use aweber it can be set up at “webforms”. Just click the name of your list and under “settings” tab you can find “thank you page”. Just choose Custom Page and fill in the url address of your Confirm page…here`s example:

The second step in this process is to create a “thank you for confirming” -page. You can see an example by clicking here…

As you see it only has few lines of text BUT this page is making me nice amount of extra money.

Basically, when people confirm their email address they are being redirected to thank you page and some of people buy the product I recommend. Talking about easy cash

You can download the template by clicking here…

And again, edit out the text as you wish and add the link to your chosen affiliate product to make some extra money.

…and use the two of the options like before:

1. upload the php file to your domain root…In this case your page is located at www.yourdomain.com/thankyou.php

2. Create a folder called “confirm” in your ftp and upload the file to that folder and rename it as index.htm (and go and see your confirm page works fine at www.yourdomain.com/thankyou)

And again, log into your autoresponder and redirect your subscriber to your thank you page.

If you use aweber, go to my lists ==> confirmed opt-in

And scroll down until you see this:

After you fill in your thank you page address, you`re all done!

After you have set up your “thank you for confirming” -page and “Thank you” -page you have just created first source of income and once you set it, there`s nothing more you need to do. Pretty cool, huh?

Oh, I almost forgot…a download page for your product can be monetized too.

So, you need to have a download page where your subsribers can go and get their free gift…Again, I have created a ready-made template you can use…

You can see the example of the page by clicking here

As you can see, there`s a download link for the free report but there`s also a product “recommendation” and it`s making me extra sales…So you should add something similar to your download page also…

You can download the template by clicking here…just edit it out and upload to your server. create a folder called dlyourrreport (replace “yourreport” with your report name or come up with unique name for your download folder…)

Oh, remember to edit out the “Title” of the page… just go to “source code view” of your editor and locate this <title>Secret PayPal Cash</title> and replace  the “Secret PayPal Cash” text with the text you wish people to see when they enter your site…

And that`s it….you`re all set…

So, to clarify this process, here`s  how this whole process works:

So, when people come to your squeeze page and subscriber, they are being redirected to your “confirm your email” page where you say they should check their inbox and confirm their email address.

Once they confirm, they are being redirected to a thank you page where you thank you for subscribing and tell them to check their inbox for download link. At this page you also “recommend” a product and sometimes make some extra money…

After they check their inbox and go to download page, they download your product and also see your “second recommendation”…and you have a high chance of making more of extra money!

P.S. I also use exit grabber exit popup at some of my index pages to make few extra sales with people who don`t subscribe to my lists. I don`t want to leave the money on the table and the exit popup works pretty well… You can check out the exit grabber by clicking here if you wish to add it to your sites…

I`m going to share you some very basic ftp tricks that you need when you`re setting up a site.

using ftp software like coffee cup ftp is very easy. Here`s the basic display where you see the files you want to upload from your computer and the location where you want to upload the files:

First, If you set up a website…let`s say it`s yoursite.com

What makes this site “visible” is index.htm (or .html) file. So, when setting up a site, your main page that you make with your website editor should be named as index.htm (or html) and it should be uploaded to the root of your domain which can be located at: /public_html/yoursite.com (where yoursite.com is your domain name)

Here`s a screenshot  from my Secret PayPal Cash site so you can see how it looks like:

So, what makes my site visible at www.secretpaypalcash.com is the index.htm file.

Okay, that`s pretty easy, right? Whenever you put up a site, your squeeze page or sales page should be named  as index.htm or index.html so it actually gets seen…

But what if you want to create something like http://www.yourdomain.com/freestuff

Okay, it`s very easy using ftp.

With coffee cup ftp it`s done this way:  right click on your /public_html/yoursite.com and click “create folder” and name the folder as “freestuff” (or what ever you prefer)

Here`s example:

and after that you insert the name for your new folder, in this example it`s called “freestuff” so you insert freestuff without quotes like this:

And out comes your new folder. So, what you have just done is you created http://www.yourdomain.com/freestuff

Next you need to create a separate index.htm file and upload it to the folder  http://www.yourdomain.com/freestuff

Again, the site won`t show up until you have the index file located at that folder.

All you need to do is double click the folder where you want to upload the file(s) so you`ll see yourdomain.com/freestuff in your ftp software. After that all you do is drag and drop the files from your computer to the server like this:

And once you`re done, type in the http://www.yourdomain.com/freestuff in your browser to check out everything is ok…

In my example, you can see the http://www.secretpaypalcash.com/freestuff/

I suggest you create three folders named “confirm” and “thankyou” and “dlyourproduct” (edit out yourproduct with your product name) because you will be needing those folders to make some money when people subscibe to your list…

As you see, this is very easy stuff and you should play around with your ftp software to get familiar with it…
