Month: May 2007

Lots of updates and I’ll start with the first. Just completed and uploaded the “Ultimate Guide to Affiliate Funnel”. It is designed to sell Affiliate Funnel and also show you exactly how to get the most out of your membership.

This is an idea we have handed out in at least 3 seminars for someone to use to build a list for themselves. Now no one took action and quite truthfully this is needed so I did it and will build my list with it. Here is how it will work. Every member can download the book from the member’s area but if you want to rebrand it you will have to sign up to my list.

Once you have verified your email you will receive the link to the rebrand kit. If you want to rebrand it and I recommend you do if you are using the email series, go to the link below, fill in your name and best email address and verify your account.

=====> Rebrand Ultimate Guide To Affiliate Funnel

There will be squeeze pages coming that will promote the book as a free report that you may use if you rebrand it. There will also be changes to the members area over the next few days.

Now I am going off here for a bit. Too many times I hear that this doesn’t work and that doesn’t work but this book is a perfect example of why things don’t work. Quite truthfully this was not a book I wanted to write. I would have loved to promote a similar book that one of our members wrote and allow them to build their list with my help.

Both Soren and myself offered to help anyone with the technical aspects. Despite that no one took action to build their business. Quite truthfully that is why some don’t succeed. It does absolutely no good to get the best ideas if you won’t take action.

Now section 2 of this book has a 10 step action plan that if followed and ACTED ON will help you build a list and your business. Will you let this golden nugget lay on the floor or will you grab it and use it?

New Referral Contest

Starting when the prizes are announced at the seminar for two weeks we will have another referral contest. Top prize has a value of $120 and here is the kicker.

Refer one person and you can win the top prize

Yep we are doing something different for this one. Each referral will earn you a chance to win one of the 5 prizes. The more you refer the more chances you get but you only need one to win.

This allows anyone to win if they work hard and get referrals.

If you are not using the squeeze pages and email series for your promotion you may want to take the time and effort to try them. My stats are showing that I am running well over 50% of all people that double opt in are joining AF. Not only does this add to your downline here but all those people will now be on your list for other promotions.

Look for another addition shortly. Waiting on graphics but think everyone will like this one.

That is all for this week have a great holiday if you are in the US.

Affiliate Funnel Update – May 16, 2007

Been some additions to the squeeze pages. There are now a few that don’t use the hover pop and a few that are not personalized. The one squeezenopic1.php is based on a page submitted by George Nikolis. Thanks George.

Anyone else that is willing to share let me know and we’ll add more. That new page by the way has been doing well for me since I put it into rotation last night.

If you are not using the squeeze pages with the email series you are missing a huge opportunity. Not only will it help you build your Affiliate Funnel downline it builds YOUR list at the same time. Take the time to set it up and use it. The results may surprise you.

Seminar Topics

This week’s seminar will be on tracking. One of the easiest ways to increase your results from the same effort is to test, test and test. To do that you need to track. All seminars are noon edt on Saturday so mark your calendar now.
