10 Reasons Why You'll Love Promoting our Products

• Big Payout: Blogging in Action currently sells for $57, with a 70% commission, that's $37 per sale. The commissions were raised as of August 12, 2008! We also offer a very attractive one time offer (a suite of seven killer blog plug-ins) at $97 with a 70% commission, for an additional $63 per sale. So there's potential to earn nearly $100 for each person you send to our offer.
• Superior quality: our products are created by true experts, they're tested on real people in the real world before they are ever sold, and they are continually updated. Your customers will love you and the products you put in front them.
• Complete product alignment: it's a novel strategy, but our products actually do what their sales pages say they do. Gasp! We don't over hype, we don't make outrageous claims, and we don't publish disingenuous statistics just to get sales.
• Seamless, frictionless downloads: our product downloads are served from a high-performance server cluster, and they are pushed through the tubes quickly. All products, even bonuses, are downloaded directly from us with no additional prompts, signups, or registrations.
• 100% honest and ethical: every tactic and strategy in our products is 100% above board, honest, and ethical.
• Technically accurate: just because a product is ethical doesn't mean it won't get your customers in trouble. It must also be technically accurate. Many customers won't know the difference when buying, but it's important that the information your customer receives is bona fide and accurate.
• Always up-to-date: your customers get lifetime product updates, and we keep our products ruthlessly up-to-date. We won't sell a strategy that worked 3 years go but won't work today.
• Unrivaled support: we provide superior customer support after the sale. This means far fewer than average returns, and more repeat customers for you.
• We will not burn your list. We only soft market, and strive to add value for your customers. We send out occasional e-mails to the list you helped us generate, and 90 percent of these e-mails are informative, or contain bonuses or articles; the 10 percent that contain pitches are very soft pitches.
• We will bend over backwards for our affiliates. Need something? Just ask. We'll do everything in our power to help you. Do you have a suggestion on how to improve our products? Let us know.

Our Offer

The base Blogging in Action offer consists of a huge 260-page e-book that is current, accurate, and packed with insight. It's been updated for Wordpress 2.5 and Wordpress 2.6. The book also comes with a keyword tools, four companion videos, three bonus administration videos, a 16-volume QuickStart video series, 10 Internet Basics videos, and several bonuses.

Target audience: beginning and intermediate bloggers. There's enough handholding in the first 70 pages that your customers who are completely unfamiliar with blogging will be able to get up to speed quickly. After page 70, each chapter is stuffed with practical blogging guidance that will keep newcomers and experienced bloggers alike satisfied for weeks.

My goal in creating this package was to give your customers the single most value-packed information product they'd ever purchased.

The entire package sells for $57, with expected price increases to $67 in the future. PPC traffic from Adwords converts at 3.1 percent. There is also a downsell offer to attempt to capture any lost sales (and it converts very well at this). The downsell is currently priced at $39.99.

The one time offer is our Six-Figure Plugin Suite, which consists of the Affiliate Stealthifier, Autolink Wealthifier, Blog AdSensifier, Blog Commentifier, Friend Shareifier, Take-a-Breakifier, and the Traffic Rankifier.

This package sells for $147 on it's own (view the standalone sales page here), or $97 as a one time offer. Obviously, its value is much higher than the prices we're charging, but it makes a very appealing one time offer.

Joint Ventures

If you have a list, blog, web site, e-zine, newsletter, etc. and you would like to promote Blogging in Action, please review our partners page so that we can work out some details. I have a term sheet / proposal sheet that describes the market, full compensation and bonus package, our products, etc.

We'll work with you to help you make the most of your campaign, including offering customized sales pages, offering customized discounts or coupon codes for your customers, offering giveaways that you can use for contests, offering freebies that you can use to entice your customers to visit our offer, co-branding our offer, etc.

How to Start Earning Money

"Blogging in Action: From Start to Six Figures with a Professional Blog" is sold through ClickBank. To begin selling it, all you need is an affiliate account. Get one here, if you don't have one yet.

Your Affiliate Link

http://xxxx.itsaswell.hop.clickbank.net/

Replace "xxxx" with your ClickBank ID. Remember to cloak your affiliate link to prevent lost sales! If you don't want to or can't cloak your link, you can also use our built in link cloaker. Your own cloaker will be more effective because it disguises our domain altogether, but our cloaker is better than an ugly affiliate link, so feel free to use it.

PPC Ads

Be very careful with PPC advertising if you're not familiar with it! You'll likely get the most bang for your buck if you direct your PPC ads to a landing page where you presell Blogging in Action. Better yet, gather names and e-mail addresses to build your own list before sending them on to the sales page.

E-mail #1

Dear {Name}, Let's face it, starting and running a blog is tough! That is, if you want to do it the right way, the spam-free way. There's just SO MUCH to know. You can't "just write good content" and expect to be successful. You've got to know about search engines, about social media, about traffic, about how to turn your blog into a money making machine, and the list is seemingly endless. There's no doubt, it's probably the most difficult lesson for any aspiring blogger to learn. However, the biggest problem is that most books on the subject are filled with outdated advice that might have worked at some point in the past, but are practically useless these days (I'm not naming names here). And the new stuff is either so inaccurate or so complicated that it makes your head spin. That's why I was really excited when my friend Ken told me about Blogging in Action. Talk about a breath of fresh air! I've heard of the author before, as his advice has been the secret resource behind a number of successes over the past few years. And let me tell you, this book delivers. It's got some eye-opening ah-ha's and is packed with solid, no fluff advice. This is the same advice that until recently was only available to those with fat wallets. And now this advice can be yours. The newly released Blogging in Action is the easiest way for any aspiring blogger, whether they are a total newbie or an experienced pro, to take their blogs to the next level. This is the only blogging book you will ever need! You'll understand when you see this package – it's HUGE! Look, we all know that blogging is quickly becoming one of the things that MUST be done to make any business successful. I'm not talking about just any blogs, but solid blogs. This package will take you by the hand, and show you exactly how you can easily create a respected, profitable blog. Get it while you can – I did! {your affiliate URL} Your friend, {Your name}

Email #2

Dear {Name}, How much is traffic worth to your business? And reputation, how much is that worth? How about your search rankings? I'm just going to assume that money is pretty important to you. Did you know that you can get all of that with a blog? I'm not talking about a spam blog, or a crappy AdSense site. Those things haven't earned more than nickels and dimes in years. I'm talking about the real, long-term, respected blogs that are driving mounds of cash-in-hand, eager readers. You probably think that there's no way that you could duplicate the success of those power blogs, right? But suppose you could. Suppose you could tap into the same resources that the pros use and suppose you could quickly take the exact same steps that made other blogs the HUGE successes they are. Sound too good to be true? I assure you, it's not – provided you have the right knowledge. Think about it. A blog is the easiest and most powerful way for you earn Google's respect, attract targeted customers, build a community, promote a product, and more. But creating that blog the RIGHT WAY is the hard part. It could take you years and can cost you a small fortune to figure out just the right combinations that make some blogs work while others fall flat on their faces. But instead of knocking yourself out trying to come up with just the right system, you can now have it inside a new package called "Blogging in Action." I've heard of the author before, and his advice has been the secret resource behind a number of successes over the past few years. And let me tell you, this package delivers. It's filled with the same advice that until recently was only available to those with very fat wallets. Just listen to what one reader had to say: "In the last three months I have read Blogging for Dummies and a couple other books on the subject and to be honest with you, all they did was give me a whopping headache; your BLOGGING IN ACTION BIBLE is possibly the DEFINITIVE BOOK ON THE SUBJECT!!! You will forgive me for referring to your treatise as the B.I.A. Bible, for my intent is not meant to be irreverent, after all, the word bible means book and my intent is to show nothing but respect for a well thought out endeavor. I believe the word TREATISE is an apt descriptive, for my buddy, Noah Webster tells us that a treatise is, "a formal written account treating a subject systematically and in detail." This is exactly what you have done. Thanks for the labor of love, for it is obvious this is not some slipshod bit of info garbage." Charles Towne Apopka, FL This package is a steal at the current price, but I've heard that it's going up very soon. Heck, even the freebie that is being offered is pretty solid! {your affiliate URL} Sincerely, {Your Name}

Endorsement #1 (Recommended)

If you have your own list, endorsements are probably the fastest and easiest way to make sales. Try customizing the below e-mail as a broadcast for your customers.

After the broadcast, you can add the endorsement to your auto responder, giving you the opportunity to make additional sales on auto-pilot.

Dear {Name}, You know me well enough to know that I don't endorse other people's products lightly. If the product doesn't blow me away, if it's not of outstanding quality and doesn't truly impress me, then I always refuse to pass it on to you. If you've bought a product based on a past recommendation of mine, you know what I'm talking about here. Just last week I had an interesting conversation with a colleague who had been in touch with a blogging strategist. It's no secret that many of us have been looking for a blogging product that truly delivered on its promises. It's just that blogging has changed so rapidly over the recent past, but the blogging products haven't kept up with this change. Anyway, my friend received a review copy of this new blogging product and he passed it along to me. So I started reading with interest. You know what? It started out a bit slow. I mean, it was very detailed, but I didn't think there was much new to it. But then I moved past the "introductory" topics . . . And I was just amazed. Talk about killer content . . . this guy was on fire! He delivered ideas, concepts and strategies at a pace that eventually made my head spin. This is the kind of program you can read over and over again and still pick up more and more jewels of priceless information. You can use it now and at almost any point in the future – it's that packed with information on a wealth of blogging-related topics, and it also includes nearly 6 hours worth of top-notch video instruction. Needless to say, it is one of the very best blogging information products that I have gotten my hands on recently, and people WANT IT. Blogging is hot right now, and I don't see the trend slowing down anytime soon. I immediately called him after finishing his program. He told me that he wanted to sell his product for $97 – a really good value for all of the information in this package. But he said he would introduce it at a lower price point. "That's good for a start" I told him. But I told him I wanted to sell the program to a select group of my subscribers, and I would refuse to do it unless he gave a rebate on it. He refused flat-out, saying that the price tag was already way too low and he didn't want to "give it away for free." Long story short, after some haggling back and forth, he agreed to throw in a keyword tool and give my subscribers a special limited-time rebate. With this package being at such a low price, I thought it would be perfect for you. I know for a fact that blogging materials have a very high return on investment and blogs can be used for much more than just making money online (though that doesn't hurt!). So if you've ever considered investing in yourself to save time, energy, and money, then you've got to get your hands on this package. But you must act quickly, because he said he'd only keep this special rebate open {for the next 10 days OR until MONTH XX, YEAR}. And by the way, he told me that if you weren't as surprised and delighted as I was when I read his stuff, he'd insist on immediately buying the course back from you, no questions asked. Check out this package today and watch it transform your blog: {Insert affiliate URL} Wishing you bountiful blogging success, {Your name}

Endorsement #2 (Recommended)

If you have your own list, endorsements are probably the fastest and easiest way to make sales. Try customizing the below e-mail as a broadcast for your customers.

After the broadcast, you can add the endorsement to your auto responder, giving you the opportunity to make additional sales on auto-pilot.

Dear {Name}, I've discovered something very, very interesting recently. And as a valued subscriber, I wanted to let you in on my discovery. I discovered a product that reveals as clearly and accurately as I have ever seen, how to start and profit from a professional blog. Now, I'm not talking about these run of the mill blogs that are popping up everywhere. No, I'm talking about the true blogs – the ones that earn money, the ones that pull traffic – blogs like the six-figure earners use. I'll admit, when I first heard about this product, I figured it would be another get-rich-quick blogging scheme. But I wrote to the author, and his response was the most genuine, honest perspective on blogging I'd ever heard. The funny thing is, I just knew I had to get my hands on the book after reading that e-mail. I downloaded it immediately and couldn't wait to dig into the content. But the thing was HUGE! Browsing the table of contents, I just "felt" that this book was going to become a trusted resource in the blogging community very quickly. The massive content and the originality of the contents simply blew me away. The amount of time, effort, and expertise that went into this book is obvious. Believe it or not, I even had to hold myself back from taking notes, and from time to time I'd ask myself: "Who the heck is this guy? I'm going to tell everyone about this!" I loved this book so much that I contacted the author personally, thanked him for writing it, and was able to convince him to give you a {insert discount} as one of my valued subscribers. But hurry, because he said he could only hold this discount for a limited time. This book has my highest recommendation. Check it out today: {Your affiliate URL} Sincerely, {Your name}

Coming Soon

We have several more tools in the works, so keep checking back with us. Even better, involve us in your promotional efforts and we'll help you build effective campaigns that make sales. Here's what we have on the way:

E-zine ads: a few different formats and lengths. We're currently testing the copy for conversion rate.

Blog posts: a very easy way to promote our products is to create an information and clever post regarding a hot blog topic, and stacking that on top of a review, a product mention, a free e-book offer, etc. We'll have a handful of good posts that you can use within a few days.

Articles: this is last on our list right now, but it is on the list! No ETA yet.

Recommended Promotional Ideas

Top Pick: Endorsements

Endorsements are the most effective, highest-converting form of promotion. Endorsements usually take the form of e-mails sent to a list of optin subscribers.

Other effective forms of endorsements include:

• Blog posts recommending the products
• Posts in forums where you are a recognized and respected member
• Posts in social content sites (like MySpace or Facebook) where you have many friends

Runner-up: Product Campaigns

Combining multiple tactics into one overall promotional strategy is very effective because the repetition builds up familiarity among readers and it also gives you more chances to convert each prospect. There are many ways to run campaigns, but combining any of the below in any combination will likely be more effective than trying each tactic alone:

• Product endorsements
• Product reviews
• Blog posts or mentions
• Sponsored contests (we'll provide the awards)
• Free book giveaways
• Banner ads
• Enticements to click through to the sales pages
• Personalized sales messages and exclusive discounts
• Etc.

Article Marketing

You can write your own blogging-related articles or rewrite blogging PLR content and submit them to article directories. Ezine Articles is generally considered the best directory to use, but there are plenty of other directories available.

• http://www.ezinearticles.com/
• http://www.articlecity.com/
• http://www.helium.com/
• http://www.goarticles.com

Article marketing works! If you haven't tried it, you really should, provided you submit high-quality, unique articles.

Review Pages

How about setting up an objective review page? Review pages are ideal ways to create keyword-heavy content that disarms readers by presenting factual data instead of hype.

Mini-sites

A very effective affiliate marketing method is to build a mini-site around each specific offer that you are promoting.

Social Content

Creating pages or participating in social content sites like the ones below are great ways to market and spread your affiliate links:

• Squidoo
• HubPages
• Yahoo! Answers

If you have any questions or need sales support, please get in touch with us.
