At least… that’s how it’s supposed to be, right?

The truth is that mini sites really ARE easy to set
up. They really DON’T require much time, energy, and
money to set up. So why is it that so few people
actually make money with their mini sites?

The answer is that they never learned how to actually
turn their mini site into a profitable moneymaker that
runs completely on autopilot. The good news is…

*************************************************
YOU’RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!
*************************************************

Here’s what this is all about: My colleague Michael
Rasmussen has just released a brand new video course
that will walk you through the process of creating a
killer mini site from the ground up, and then he’ll
also teach you how to actually start making money with
it right away and into the future.

If you’ve been looking for help with monetizing your
mini sites, then this is exactly what you need. The
best part? The videos are FREE! I’ll tell you more
about that later. First, let’s talk about the videos
themselves.

    videos out right now for free. Here’s the URL:

*************************************************
OVERALL QUALITY
*************************************************

It’s important to note that these are online videos
that you access from your web browser. Michael uses
Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the
premier software program for creating screen capture
tutorials such as these.

The first thing I noticed when I hit the play button
on the first video was the incredible production
quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture
videos. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone
make videos that are this high quality before.

He uses beautifully created graphics to pass his
wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is the
highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing
product. They sound like they were recorded in a
professional studio.

Michael explained to me that he was sick and tired of
seeing all the low quality videos out there, and so he
set out to create something different in order to
raise the bar in our industry. I think that, when you
see Mini Site Profits Exposed for yourself, you’ll
agree that he has succeeded.

Now let’s move onto…

*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************

Here’s a brief summary of each video. Obviously
it’s impossible to list every single thing here,
but I want you to get a feel for what each one
covered, and how well it covered it.

    If you’re in a hurry, you can just check the
    videos out right now for free. Here’s the URL:

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION

This videos introduces you to the entire course, as
well as the teacher himself. You’ll learn what you can
expect from the course, and why it’s structured the
way it is.

Michael realizes that you may not have heard of him,
and so he spends some time establishing his
credibility with you by sharing some of his biggest
successes. It doesn’t come across as bragging at all.
Michael explains that, in order for you to get value
from the teachings, you need to have faith that the
teacher actually knows what he’s talking about. By the
end of this video, you will have no doubt.

By the way, this is a good lesson for all of us
product developers. If you want people to accept you
as an authority on any subject, you first need to
establish your credibility with the reader. That way
he’s willing to relax, and trust that what you’re
telling him is sound advice.

VIDEO 2 - THE BASICS

This video will introduce you to the basics of mini
site marketing. This will set the foundation that all
future learning will rest upon, so it’s important to
pay close attention to this one.

You’ll learn:

* What mini-sites are, and what makes them different
from regular content sites.

* Which businesses they work well for… and which ones
they don’t.

* The right mindset to have when it comes to creating
mini sites as part of your online business strategy.

* And the different tools you need to get started.

This was a great video, and did an excellent job of
kicking things off, and building the foundation for
the rest of the course.

VIDEO 3 - SQUEEZE PAGES

This is probably one of the most useful videos of the
entire course. Every Internet marketer needs to build
an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best
way to capture the most opt-ins?

The answer is ’squeeze pages’. This video will teach
you:

* Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other
opt-in methods.

* The single most important thing you must include at
the top of your squeeze page to skyrocket your opt-in
rate.

* The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most
marketers get it wrong (which costs them a LOT of
money).

* The most important to include in your opt-in process
that will make sure that people actually receive your
email.

After watching this video, you’ll know everything you
need to know to start building a massive opt-in list
right away. This will probably be the first video that
you ‘take action’ on. You’ll be so excited about the
possibilities, that I guarantee you’ll go and create
your own squeeze page right away.

VIDEO 4 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART
ONE

Nothing happens until the sales copy is written.
Graphics alone will never sell a product, but sales
copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the
mysterious process of writing words that make people
whip out their credit cards and buy.

Specifically, you’ll learn:

* Why you need to learn copywriting, even if you “hate
to write”

* What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell
the difference.

* How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that
practically forces your readers to go through your
entire page.

* A simple trick you can use in your opening to make
your reader want to learn more.

There is no skill that is more important to your
success than the ability to write killer sales copy.
Make sure you pay extra attention to this video, as
well as…

VIDEO 5 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART
TWO

This video dives right into the individual components
of a killer sales letter. You’ll learn how to create
the “secret structure” of a mini site sales letter
that makes big money. Specifically, you’ll learn:

* How to create captivating body copy that draws your
reader into the sales letter.

* Bullets that force your reader to keep reading the
whole page, and makes them insanely curious and want
to buy your product

* How to take the risk off people’s shoulders, so
they’ll feel safe buying from you.

* How to craft your ‘call to action’, and get people
to whip out their credit cards and buy immediately.

* The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal
the deal, and flip your prospect into a buyer
instantly.

This video covered a surprising amount of detail,
especially considering that this course is not
specifically about copywriting. Michael Rasmussen is
definitely someone who overdelivers in his educational
products.

VIDEO 6 - HOW TO AUTOMATE THE
DELIVERY OF YOUR INFOPRODUCT

Unless you want to be chained to your computer, you
must learn how to put your mini sites on autopilot.
The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic,
and letting the site itself do all the work, including
the work of instantly delivering the product to the
customer.

This video will walk you through the process of
automating your product delivery, so you can just
relax, and collect the money. The best part is… once
you have this automated system set up, you never have
to touch it again.

VIDEO 7 - HOW TO “GROW” YOUR SALE

This video is guaranteed to be an eye opener for
almost everyone who watches it, even the experienced
marketers. Michael dives into some of the most
effective ‘upselling’ techniques that I’ve ever seen.

Nowhere else on the Internet have I seen such a
thorough tutorial on how to increase the ’size’ of
your orders. You’ll learn:

* The psychology of ‘upselling’, and how to use it
make your customer spend even more money with you.
The best part? He’ll think it was his idea!

* The absolute best time to upsell your customer. This
one will surprise you when you realize how much money
you’ve been leaving on the table by skipping this
step.

* 5 simple techniques to increase your profit by up to
100%.

If you’ve already got a mini site that’s up and
running, this video will make a big difference for you
right away. Use any of these ‘plug and profit’
strategies to increase your income literally
overnight!

VIDEO 8 - CREATING AN AFFILIATE SALES
FORCE

If there’s one thing I’ve noticed that all successful
marketers have in common, it’s that they have a great
affiliate program. They create a program that allows
other people to make good money by promoting their
products, and they get to just sit back and relax,
while everyone else is doing the hard work of
promoting FOR them.

If you’ve ever dreamed of having an army of motivated
sales people working hard to make you money, then
you’re going to love this video. Michael will teach
you:

* What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up
very quickly.

* Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates
(most people miss the mark here, so pay extra
attention to this part).

* Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough
to convince people to sign up, and what you can do
instead to have people eagerly trying to become one of
your affiliates.

* How to motivate affiliates to sell for you.

VIDEO 9 - MINI SITE MISTAKES TO AVOID

Let’s face it… it’s not enough to explain what you
should do. You also need to know what mistakes you
should avoid. Michael has already made these costly
mistakes, but you don’t have to. You’ll learn:

- Why people do judge a book by its cover… and how to
capitalize on that for your mini-site

- The single biggest reason people don’t buy from a
mini site, and how you can apply this ‘instant fix’.

- The single biggest thing that will kill your
mini-site (it’s not what you think, and making this
mistake is a surefire way to drain money from your
bank account FAST!)

- Two list building mistakes that’ll cripple your
long-term profits.

VIDEO 10 - SECRETS OF CREATING A
PRODUCT FUNNEL

This video will walk you through the process of
designing a product line that will make you a TON of
money. There’s a lot more to it than you’d think,
which is why this important concept (which was taken
from direct marketing) gets it’s own video.

After watching this video, you’ll understand why you
can’t just have a single front end product, and you’ll
know exactly what to do in order to get your customer
to keep buying more and more expensive products from
you… completely on autopilot!

This video is a MUST for any serious marketer who
wants to make a lot of money from their online
business.

VIDEO 11 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

The title of this video says it all. You’ll learn
all of Michael’s secrets for getting top notch
freelancers to help you create your mini site empire
in record time.

Let’s face it, you can’t be an expert at everything
that mini sites require. For example, it’s really
tough to be a top notch graphic designer, while also
mastering HTML, and then becoming a killer
copywriter, on top of also creating the product
itself.

And the list goes on and on. If you want to be
efficient, and begin making money as fast as
possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it
happen. This video will show you exactly what to do,
as well as some common (and very expensive) pitfalls
to avoid.

VIDEO 12 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

Let’s face it… it doesn’t matter how great your
mini site is if you don’t get any traffic coming to
it. Getting traffic can be one of the most confusing
and mysterious parts of making money online IF you
don’t get the proper education.

Thankfully, Michael really dives in, and gives you a
lightning fast education in this area. Specifically,
you’ll learn:

* How to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to get
targeted traffic fast.

* 3 ways to get targeted traffic without spending a
dime.

* 2 ways to leverage the experience and contacts of
other people to explode your traffic.

* 3 traffic strategies to avoid like the plague!

By the time you’re done with this video, you’ll know
what to do right away to begin driving targeted
visitors to your mini site.

DELUXE VIDEOS
*************************************************

Mini Site Profits Exposed comes with 12 videos, and
has more content than most 300 dollar home study
courses. And did I mention that it’s free?

If you decide that you want to continue your
education, and get the biggest possible advantage, you
can also upgrade to the deluxe course for a small fee.
The deluxe course contains four full-length videos
that each cover one advanced topic in great detail.

Here’s a breakdown of each video:

*************************************************
VIDEO 13 - DESIGNING A KILLER BACK END
THAT RUNS COMPLETELY ON AUTOPILOT
*************************************************

This deluxe video could easily be a whole course in
itself. It walks you though the entire process of
setting up a back end that is completely automated
using an autoresponder system.

You’ll learn how to set up your autoresponder to
automatically remove a person from your prospect list
after he buys, and then insert him into your customer
list. This is where your new autoresponder sequence
will start promoting your back end products
automatically.

Bottom line… if you want to make the big bucks like
all the Internet marketing gurus, you need to create a
back end that works hard for you while you’re out
creating new mini sites and developing new products.
This video will show you how.

*************************************************
VIDEO 14 - LIST BUILDING SECRETS
*************************************************

In this deluxe video, Michael will walk you through
some of his best tactics for growing a massive list
from your mini site. He’ll not only teach you what to
add to your mini site, but he’ll also show you what
you must REMOVE from your mini site in order to get
the most possible subscribers.

Building a list is about SO much more than just
offering a free newsletter. In fact, Michael shows you
five different things you can offer your readers to
get them to instantly give you their name and email.

You’ll also learn the best places to actually put the
opt-in email form on your mini site. You’ll also learn
about pop ups and tell-a-friend scripts, as well as a
bunch of other incredible tactics for growing your
list.

I have a hunch that you’ll find yourself referring to
this video over and over again.

*************************************************
VIDEO 15 - MARKETING ACTIVITIES THAT
MAKE YOU MONEY
*************************************************

When you think about all the ’stuff’ you can do to
drive traffic to your site, it’s hard to know what you

Once you master these four, you’ll never have to
wonder what you should do when you start a new mini
site. You’ll have an easy-to-follow road map for
driving tons of targeted prospects to your site, so
you can begin making money ASAP!

VIDEO 16 - MAKE MAXIMUM PROFITS FROM YOUR MINI SITE
*************************************************

In this final deluxe video, Michael will reveal his
best kept secrets for squeezing maximum profit out of
any mini site. These are techniques that you have NOT
seen before, so you’ll want to pay extra close
attention to this one.

Think about it… if you’re going to put the time in,
and set up a mini site the proper way (like Michael
shows you in these videos), then it only makes sense
that you’d want to make the most amount of money
possible from it.

In this video, you’ll learn:

- How changing one sentence on your mini site could
double your profits easily.

- How to instantly increase the dollar amount of your
average order (which puts more money into your
pocket).

- The one thing you must add to your ‘download page’
that will instantly increase your income (with no
extra work, once this thing is put into place).

- How to turn your actual product into a money making
machine!

PayPal Payment Notifications on Your Phone by Robert Plank 

On the Internet, the general rule of thumb is that when someone sends you an e-mail, you’re expected to have read it within 24 hours.

If you sell a hands-on product, like a high ticket item or coaching program, you might want to be notified of a sale instantly, even if you’re away from the computer, so you can follow-up with your customer within minutes and impress the heck out of them.

 This can be done with your web host’s existing control panel, requires no programming, AND could be applied to any payment processor like Clickbank, StormPay, 2Checkout, etc. as long as that processor sends you an e-mail after every purchase.

For this you need a cell phone. (Did you know your cell phone most likely ALREADY accepts text messages through e-mail? I didn’t until I looked into it.) Figure out your SMS e-mail address:

If your provider is AT&T, your SMS address will end in: mobile.att.net If your provider is Cingular, your SMS address will end in: mycingular.com If your provider is Nextel, your SMS address will end in: messaging.nextel.com If your provider is Qwest, your SMS address will end in: qwestp.com If your provider is Sprint, your SMS address will end in: messaging.sprintpcs.com If your provider is T-Mobile, your SMS address will end in: tmomail.net If your provider is Verizon, your SMS address will end in: vtext.com If your provider is VoiceStream, your SMS address will end in: voicestream.net

Don’t see your carrier in this list? Call them up and find out if you can receive SMS messages through e-mail.

The first part of your SMS e-mail will be your phone number, without any spaces, dashes or parentheses. So if your cell number was (817) 555-1212, that number without all those extra things would just be 8175551212.

Put the two together. So if your number is (817) 555-1212 and your cellular carrier is Verizon, your SMS e-mail is: 8175551212@vtext.com

Send a test e-mail to that address to make sure your phone gets alerted.

Now let’s setup an e-mail forwarder just for PayPal notifications. Go into your cpanel and go to the E-Mail section and choose Forwarders (it might be a little different on your web host). Add a forwarder for “paypal@example.com” where example.com is your domain name.

This forwarder should point to your main e-mail address and the SMS e-mail address. Separate them with a comma. So if your main address was something like webmaster@example.com, we would be forwarding paypal@example.com to: webmaster@example.com, 8175551212@vtext.com

Send a test e-mail to your paypal@example.com address and check to make sure the test message gets to both the phone and your regular e-mail address.

Finally, change your notification address in PayPal. Login, go to Profile -> (Account Information - Email), and add an e-mail address like paypal@example.com which will only be used to notify you of payments. Once that’s added be sure to hit “Make Primary.”

Get a friend to pay you a penny through PayPal. You should get notified via e-mail AND on your phone. Now when you get an order and are at the library or playing in the front room with your kids you can take a minute to call your customer and thank them for the sale, instead of sitting in front of the computer all day.

If you really want to impress a customer, add the ability for them to enter a phone number (it’s an option you can choose when you create your payment button).

When you get paged you could check the transaction and see first of all, if they provided a contact phone number, and if they did, check their state or country to make sure you aren’t calling in the middle of the night in their timezone.

I just recently got involved with learning PHP and find it easy to use and very adaptable when working with HTML pages.  The language is easier than learning HTML and in most applications, more secure.  I know, you are reading this and saying, “What the heck?”  “I don’t wanna learn another scripting language, I am managing just fine without any other crap.” 

There is one person I have found that makes it easyto learn PHP through the use of daily videos.   Now you will not be an expert scriptor of PHP after watching these videos but…  It is a great start.  The lessons are broken up into 5 minute per day lessons in “Head First PHP.”  Robert Plank narrates and demonstrates step by step how a PHP script comes together.  He also teaches about arrays and if then statements.

I tell you it was a great learning experience for me and I know you will love it too! By all means, go to his Blog to check out his latest post and see which program might interest you.  I recommend head first PHP for starting out so you will have the basics.

Please let me know what you think by replying to this post. 

It seems like everyday that Google Adwords is changing.  Well, maybe not everyday but they change more often than I care to mention.  One of the best ways to keep up with Google is to read and know their Terms Of Service forwards and backwards.  You must force yourself to keep up with it and learn something everyday. 

Now I’m not telling you to sit down and read the whole Terms Of Use at once.  Commit to spending 15 minutes a day reading them.  If you only spend 15 or 30 minutes a day, you will not get burned out.  The key is doing it.  With the ever-changing world of affiliate marketing, campaigns, and AdWords, learning something new is never the problem; it is learning something that is actually useful that proves problematic.

Is Eric Rockefeller’s “The Affiliate Conspiracy” is really all that it is cracked up to be or not. From what we have seen, though, all signs point to a solid yes.

Even before the release of “The Affiliate Conspiracy,” we know that this series is different than anything else we have seen in the world of affiliate marketing. Eric Rockefeller shows step-by-step images of his personal campaigns so that you can earn the same results. Keep it simple and keep it real; it does not get any better than that.

These campaigns will display three different niche markets so everyone gets a little of something that they can use and enjoy. Although, using all three examples at the same time is not a bad idea either.

AdWords are Google’s way of placing keyword sensitive ads that you create to pull people to your website. Those consumers are then more likely to find out more about your or purchase something from your site.  In theory, AdWords can only help your business. Too bad it’s just a theory.

As we all know, AdWords only work if you know the proper techniques to get Google to pick your add for display. You can spend a whole lot of dough if you are not careful.  PROBLEM SOLVED!  With Eric’s AdWords copywriting techniques, you will finally be able to get real results. Your ads will easily appear all over Google with any search close to your keywords.

The only thing more exciting than the release of “The Affiliate Conspiracy” is getting the opportunity to put it all into action. Get what you deserve!  Take action with Clickbank and Google Adwords.  

Check back soon to find out what I really think of “The Affiliate Conspiracy” and all of the glory that it promises internet marketers like you and me. We will quickly see if these tools he uses for his affiliate marketing only work for him or if they can be applied to anyone who wanted to give it a chance.

In essence, it is stalking at it’s finest!  Just kidding.  I really don’t see the attraction in doing this although it would probably come in handy for Internet Marketers or those who already have an online presence.  You will be surprised as to who you find using Twitter.  I bet you start seeing big name Internet marketers using it to get people ramped up for new product launches in the future!  It is actually a pretty cool little tool so go check it out:

1.  Sign up for an account at Twitter
     http://www.twitter.com

2.  Go to http://www.twitter.com/gerard_pfister and click “Follow”

The second site I found is Xobni.  Get it? Xobni / Inbox.  Thought you did.  It is an add on to Microsoft Outlook.  It allows you to keep track of conversations you have had with people and lets you know when they are sending you mail by time of day.  It has a comprehensive search feature so you can group all your Internet Marketing mail etc.  This is a pretty cool add on and best of all it’s FREE.

Go to http://www.xobni.com to watch a video about it and download it. 

Enjoy!

As Joe Lavery would say…

“Be bold, Take Action”

Gerard

P.S. Don’t be shy, add a comment.  I would appreciate the feedback if you download Xobni or become a member of Twitter.  Remember, when you get your Twitter account, go to my Twitter site and click “Follow.”
