Google Slapper is coming – March 3, 2009

I learned something pretty cool I wanted to share with you. It’s not some *crazy, underground, never-before-revealed* secret or anything like that.

But it sure is COOL…

Ok, so thousands of marketers out there are promoting these low-ticket Clickbank products
with hope of making some extra dough to live on.

That’s no secret.

And you probably also know about all those high-ticket ‘guru’ products out there that seem to come around once a week.

But did you know that instead of promoting those low-paying Clickbank products for peanuts…

ANYONE can actually start getting paid huge commissions by partnering with all these ‘guru’s…

————————————–
EVEN IF YOU DON’T HAVE A LIST
————————————–

It’s true.

But only if you know how to do it. And my good friend Jay Deiboldt has mastered it.

He started with no list no website, and no money, and the *first* check he ever made online was over $1,018…

And it only took him 4 hours to do.

Now Jay’s released a Report about exactly how he did it, and if you grab it now, you can get it for nothing.

Check it out here, it’s sizzlin’:
GoogleSlapper

It will be launching on March 3, 2009! I want you to be ready! Go to the link above and sign up for it and be ready!

An Analysis of A Winning Sales Letter

========================================

Many people say they can spot a good letter when they seeit, but the problem is when it comes down to writing one, they simply freeze up. That’s why I want to take you behind the scenes of a successful sales letter I wrote and illustrate the thinking that goes into writing a killer letter that generated a healthy 3810% ROI. This letter sold all of the clients overstock merchandise and they even created a waiting list.

You’ll find my comments in the side notes below so let’s get started…

Can You Get A New $8,000 Power Table For $417?

——Side Note Comments——
First off, the headline is a grabber and makes people want to read more. Anyone interested in your product at a bargain price would certainly continue reading.
——End Comments——

Read The Amazing Facts To Find Out How…

——Side Note Comments——
Next, the subhead tells prospects that the answer is right inside this letter if they keep reading.
——End Comments——

Dear Friend,

Yes, it’s absolutely true. You can really replace your old, worn-out exam table and only pay $417 out of your pocket (But only if you are one of the first 2 people to respond to this letter.)

Let me explain.

——Side Note Comments——
Your first sentence is absolutely critical to your letter. If your first sentence doesn’t make people want to keep reading, you can expect your letter to end up in the circular file. So make sure it keeps their interest piqued and follow up on the headline promise in the first sentence.

In the first sentence I reiterate the fact that yes they really can get a brand new power table for such a low price. The second sentence I throw in a little scarcity right at the beginning of the letter so they won’t just toss this letter aside for further reading.
——End Comments——

Last April, our little company took a big gamble and signed up for a power table promotion. In order to get on the promotion we had to agree to take 3 power tables – nearly $15,000. (And for a small company like us, that’s a lot of money to be tied up in inventory).

Only one of those 3 tables were sold – so there are still 2 left.

——Side Note Comments——
The next paragraph I begin to explain the story of why we’re selling this product at such a bargain price. I’ve discovered that telling people the truth and giving a reason why is actually one of the most powerful psychological motivators to action.
——End Comments——

And My Problem Is Your Opportunity

——Side Note Comments——
This subhead turns the letter back around to what’s in it for the reader. Everyone is always silently asking themselves “So what?” and “Who cares?”. You’ve got to keep the focus on what the reader will gain from the letter.
——End Comments——

In order to move these last 2 tables I’ve decided to do something somewhat bold and a little daring.

First, you should know that the manufacturer’s promotion of these power tables ends June 30th. And any unsold inventory I have could be sold to another dealer at wholesale.

But instead of doing that, I would rather sell you the table at a wholesale price and gain your goodwill.

——Side Note Comments——
Here I explain how and why I’m willing to make a sensational deal.
——End Comments——

The regular price for a XXX power table is $8,000 but during this promotion they were on sale for $5,375 (which is a pretty good deal anyway).

But until July 15th (I’ve extended the offer 2 weeks), you can buy one of our last 2 tables for just $4,897. That’s a savings of over $3,100.00

——Side Note Comments——
I introduce the special offer and the reason why we’re selling the product at such a discount. That’s a key point, because unless you give people a believable reason for the reduced price they won’t believe you. Nobody thinks you’re lowering the price because you’re “such a nice guy” so let them in on the reason behind your offer.
——End Comments——

What? I promised you could get a power table for only $417 and here’s how…

——Side Note Comments——
I answer an anticipated objection here since I promised they could get the table for only $417.
——End Comments——

Here’s How To Get That New Power Table For Almost “Zip” By buying a power table, you can qualify for a 50% tax credit under section 44 of the Americans with Disabilities Act. That’s right Fifty Percent! All because a power table will glide up and down to accommodate disabled and handicapped patients.

And here’s what else. You can also take the amount of the power table and deduct it off your taxes using Section 179. (That is if you haven’t spent over $18,000 on capital equipment this year.)

That’s not all, here are a few more incentives for you: We will give you a $150 trade-in for your old table (or you can donate it to charity for another tax break). And add an extra 2-year warranty ($1,000 value), plus, we’ll pick-up your old table and deliver the new one all for free!

Pretty good, right? Wait, I have even better news for you…

——Side Note Comments——
Here I’ve explained each of the incentives and how they can really get the table for such a low cost. Plus added in a few extra bonuses and now I’ll another bonus to really increase their desire.
——End Comments——

You Can Pay In 3 Easy Installments With Zero Interest We’ll break up your payments into 3 easy installments, spread thirty days apart.

Why You Must Act Before July 15th First, I doubt if these tables will still be around until July 15th because the first 2 doctors that put their deposits down will take them. And when they’re gone this offer expires.

But even if they are still here (highly unlikely at this bargain price) this offer has to expire anyway because we will be shipping out these tables to other dealers in the area.

——Side Note Comments——
I bring back the deadline here and scarcity again. So not only do they have a limit on the number of units available, but there is also a time deadline. This is a double whammy to get people to take action immediately.
——End Comments——

Here’s What You Should Do Now

Pick up your phone and dial xxx-xxxx and reserve one of these last 2 tables with your credit card. Or in case, you’re still undecided call us and ask for some more information to be faxed to you.

Otherwise, you’ll be giving up the ease and convenience of having a power table at this bargain price. I really hope you’re one of the 2 lucky doctors who decide to take advantage of this golden opportunity.

——Side Note Comments——
In this closing paragraph I give readers a little pain by mentioning what they’ll be missing if they don’t act on this offer.
——End Comments——

Sincerely,
XXXX

P.S. Hurry! This letter is being sent to 1,283 local doctors and this offer is strictly limited to the first 2 people who respond.

——Side Note Comments——
The P.S. is your last place to help prospects make a buying
decision. People go from the headline in a letter to the
signature to the P.S., so your P.S. should be powerful.

Here I introduce even more scarcity. I let them know
exactly how many people (specifics sell) are receiving this
letter and it makes the limited quantity seem even more
limited since so many other people are getting this same
announcement.

——End Comments——

I guarantee by using the same elements, I just illustrated,
you’ll see your next sales letter produce incredible
results.

Niche Blueprint – Goes live today at 12 p.m.

On the 12th January 2009 Tim Godfrey and Steven Clayton are releasing the follow up to their ‘Commission Blueprint’ course that in 2008 took the internet marketing community by storm by selling over 15,000 copies in just 8 weeks. The success stories have been in abundance and the anticipation of the sequel has been extraordinary.

Their upcoming product called “Niche Blueprint” is an ultra comprehensive course that reveals the exact strategies they use to generate hundreds of thousands of dollars each year from setting up simple niche E-commerce sites.

For this project, Tim and Steve have teamed up with David and Michael Hermansen who also have years of experience with the E-commerce business and the purpose of this brand new material is to teach others how to replicate their success in the form of 23 videos and 26 manuals that are contained within the course.

In fact, some of their own successes in this area have been featured in both the New York Times and on Fox News and as you will see, they have some incredible proof of income from a number of sites making huge amount of cash in obscure markets such as ‘Sewing Machines’ and ‘Train Horns’.

You’ll even see an example of a ‘child simple’ website selling ‘Bird Cages’ that was recently flipped for $173,000! From what I have seen, this is unlike anything else that has been released before and it eliminates most of the problems that the majority of internet marketers have when trying to generate income online. It doesn’t involve selling items such as ebooks, software or even promoting products as an affiliate so in most cases the competition is almost non-existent.

The good news for most people (and what really sets ‘Niche Blueprint’ apart from other internet marketing products) is that to make money with these methods, you don’t need a list, a product, any affiliates or even joint venture partners.

Neither do you need any additional investment, website skills or any online business experience at all. In other words, literally anyone can become successful with this and the good news is it takes very little time to set up.

I have also heard that they have even gone as far as creating a new hosting company and replicating a number of other services so that there is literally nothing else to buy once you have access to the course. Listen, every one knows that 2009 is going to be a tough year economically. There are going to be a large number of job losses no matter which county you live in and as a result there could be a very strong possibility that you will need some sort of financial back up if the unthinkable happens.

If you can read and are able follow step by step instructions then you’ll be able to follow this incredible course and build your own $1million E-commerce empire!
