Hello,

Here’s the email I sent to my list about Traffic
Secrets 2.0…

————————————————-
If you’re in a hurry, just go to this webpage
to see who I’m talking about in this blog post:

==> http://www.trafficsecrets.com/netmaster

————————————————–

The guy’s name is John Reese and if you don’t know
him I guarantee that you must be new to Internet
Marketing…

Why?

Because every single thing he does - it seems that
he turns upside down our industry.  He’s been called
the gurus’ guru and for good reason.

I can go like that for the whole email and how he
is being adored like a God from other marketers in
forums and in Internet marketing seminars… but I’d
rather tell you my own experience with him.

I was reading his free newsletter back in 2003 and
I decided to try one idea he mentioned in it.

I started making $2-3k per month with this
idea that I got from him (which was a big
deal for a newbie like me in 2003)… and the
rest is history - I’m doing this now full time.

I thought if his free stuff can make me money,
imagine what his paid stuff would do.

So I got his Traffic Secrets 1 course in 2005
(second release) for $1000.

Sidebar: Courses like Traffic Secrets are being
sold for $2,000 lately but he is doing something
totally opposite everyone else and selling it
at a very small fraction of that.

I attribute to that course the majority of knowledge
I got and still use as a marketer today (and this
is the absolute truth)

Check out his sales letter to see with what authority
he is talking about Internet Marketing:

http://www.trafficsecrets.com/netmaster

He could say that you wear your pants one leg
at a time and people would be like: “what a
concept… brilliant!”

I often wondered how can a person have so much
confidence and authority to be talking like that
and the answer is simple really.

It cannot be faked. It’s something that you earn
after being so successful and impacting so many
lives.

I don’t think I would be in this game if it
wasn’t for him - and there are lots of people
like me… so it’s no wonder that when he talks
we listen and take notes.

I suggest you do the same… even if you have
no intention of getting this course I suggest
you watch his free videos and learn from the
great content he shares.

Take care and have a great day.

Talk soon,

Stelios

P.S I ordered Traffic Secrets 2.0 on launch
day and I can’t wait to receive it.

I’m passionate about it because it flat out
works and I’m talking from personal experience
as Reese is the guy who got me into this game.

I have the answers to a few
questions I’ve received regarding my email
yesterday about my free one-on-one coaching.
1. Is it really free?

Yes, you would only have to purchase SBI through
my link to qualify. (full details at end of email)

2. Are there spots left?

Yes, there is still 1 spot left.  Update: All spots are gone now.  I’ll offer coaching again in the near future, so stay tuned.

3. What will the coaching program include?

I will go over with you, your current skills,
and where you are at right now.  We will then
be meeting via a chat client such as Skype or
MSN messenger once a week for half hour for 2
months. (8 meetings total)

Each week you’ll be having a different assignment
that will stir you towards making money,
to be completed by our next meeting.

So the accountability to me, alone, will help you
improve your skills and finally start making
money rather than reading about it and buying
stuff with nothing to show for it.
I’m copying and pasting yesterday’s email here in
case you haven’t read it:

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

Today I have a very time sensitive update for you
AND the coolest bonus I’ve ever given!
(One-On-One Coaching With Me - details at the end
of this email)

The creator of SBI is running a special, which is
valid until July 6:

==> http://www.imsuccessguide.com/sitebuilder-sandalspecial

Here’s who I think should get this…

If you are an advanced marketer and build one content
website after another with Dreamweaver or html then
no need to bother.

However, if you are a beginner or intermediate marketer
who is struggling to make a website profitable then
you should get it, and here’s why:

You won’t have to buy additional stuff like web hosting,
research tools, domain, autoresponders etc… it’s
a comprehensive package that includes everything you
need to build a successful business from scratch.

What’s most important in my opinion is that you
are learning everything you need to know in the
process… from keyword research to search engine
optimization and more, because their methods work
undeniably - they have tons of proof to back it up:

==> http://www.imsuccessguide.com/proofsbiworks-sandalspecial

And you can take those skills and apply them to lots
of other stuff you can later do online.

Not only you pay a one-time fee for everything - for
the next 12 days you can pay less with their special:

==> http://www.imsuccessguide.com/sitebuilder-sandalspecial

With their current special, you buy 1 and get 2 complete
site builders for an extra $100.  That means you can
buy this with a friend and split the cost as the license
is transferrable and can be used anytime within
the next 9 months!

Take care and talk to you later.

Regards,

Stelios

P.S So what is the coolest bonus I’ve ever given?

Anyone who buys SBI through my link will get a
one-on-one coaching with me for 2 full months.

We will meet on Skype or MSN messenger or any other chat
client we’ll agree on once per week  for a total of 8
sessions of half an hour each and go over what you
should do to start making money online.

What’s the catch?

You must be wondering why are you offering your
most valuable resource (time) for a measly commission.

And you are right, I’ve never offered anything like
that before.

The truth is I’ll be offering a coaching program in
the near future and I’m looking for some success stories,
which is a win-win situation for both of us.

BUT my time is limited and valuable so I can only offer
this to the first 3 subscribers who take action only,
and with a list of about 30,000 you can bet that this
will sell out fast.

Update: All spots are gone now. I’ll offer coaching again in the near future, so stay tuned.

Here’s what you should do to get the one-on-one coaching:

1. Get SBI through this link:

==> http://www.imsuccessguide.com/sitebuilder-sandalspecial

2. Forward your receipt to stelsupport AT gmail.com
IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure to clear your cookies and then
come back to this email to click the link and make the
purchase - in order to ensure that your purchase is
credited to me, so you can receive your free one-on-one
coaching with me for 2 full months.
I’ll then get back to you on how we can get started.
Talk soon,

Stelios

I’m finally back emailing you from Cyprus.

I haven’t emailed you for ages… as most of you
know I went to USA to attend the Mass Control
Seminar.

In this blog post I’ll tell you:

- How the seminar went and my biggest tip from it
- Show you pictures from my trip to USA
- What’s in store for the future
===================================================
HOW THE SEMINAR WENT AND MY BIGGEST TIP FROM IT
——————————————–

The seminar was great with awesome speakers…
Frank Kern, Eben Pagan, Jeff Walker, Jason Moffatt,
Bob Serling, John Carlton as well some guest-speakers
like Ed Dale, Mike Filsaime and more.

I enjoyed the seminar’s content a lot and got the
chance to network with some very cool marketers.

Here’s the biggest tip I got out of the seminar:

         You need to focus and be good at
             1 single specific thing!

Yes, I hear you… “duh, focus - that’s common sense”.

Here’s my definition of *focus* in this context:

Become an expert in one thing e.g SEO, Adwords etc
and have everything else you are doing revolve
around that.

In other words, it doesn’t mean you have to quit
being an affiliate marketer if you decide to master
Adwords - you can incorporate affiliate marketing
and list building into your Adwords promotions.

It does mean you shouldn’t be buying and trying
everything under the sun which is totally unrelated
to Adwords. e.g Craigslist, Bum Marketing etc

WHAT’S IN STORE FOR THE FUTURE
—————————————

It seems I have fallen off the face of the earth for
the past month.

As much as I would like to tell you that I’m this
big guru, who never makes mistakes and never screws
up… that would be a total lie.

I’m not a guru and I screw up all the time.

I do make a living online and have figured out some
things on the way - which I’ll be sharing more of
in the future.

But my main point is that I’m a regular person like
you who is screwing up and fails more often than I
care to admit

As long as we learn from our mistakes and bounce
back by not repeating them and keep doing what works
then it’s all good in my book.

Now that we’ve established that I’m a total idiot
at times - here are 3 things I will be focusing
in the future (and I suggest you do too):

1. Find a market that is already buying stuff
and sell them what they are already buying
(idea stolen from Frank Kern and tested thoroughly)

2. Build lists in markets where they are already
buying stuff and sell them more related stuff
(idea stolen from Allen Says and tested thoroughly)

3. Drink a lot of beer and eat like there’s no
tomorrow

One of the above 3 things is optional - you
choose which one.

I like to do stuff the easy way so for #1 (find
a market that is already buying stuff…) I just
browse Clickbank’s categories and find markets
which have lots of products in the top selling
positions (i.e high gravity and high referred %)

For #2 there are tons of stuff you can do to
build huge email lists and follow up with them
to sell them stuff - while giving them good value.

This is what I will be focusing in the future:

1. Give you freebies that show you how to build
your lists

2. Give you freebies that you can give away to
build your lists

3. Show you what to say in your emails so that
you can make more sales from your lists

If you do not have a list and are weirded out
at the thought of having one, just know this:

- What’s the worst that can happen?

You totally screw up and people make fun of
you (it happens to me all the time)

Some people buy. Some make fun of you.

You get better.  More people buy from you.

Some people still make fun of you.

The more money you make the more you laugh
at the people making fun of you (this is
a scientific formula)

Following up and doing a really bad job at it
is way better than not following up at all.

Anyway, I think you’ve had enough of me for
today so I’ll end this right here.

Have a great day!

Talk soon,

Stelios

P.S I promised you a picture kissing the Vegas
ground like the Pope does. Here it is

Please post your comments below.
 

eBay has done it again… they are now banning ebooks and all kinds of digitally delivered products, like videos, audios, websites, domains and anything else that is delivered electronically. You can read their announcement here.

This is a huge change that is affecting a lot of people… and forums are already buzzing about this - mostly with people complaining about the change.

You can do 2 things:

1. Join the people who complain on forums and then give up on eBay

2. Adapt to the new situation and profit wildly

Every change is hiding golden opportunities for those who are looking…

First, what can we learn from this?

If you’ve been hit hard - meaning, if all your income was coming from ebay, then be thankful that this has happened now, rather than later.

Now is a good time to start building that list so you can OWN your business and not be vulnerable to changes that other businesses like eBay decide to make.

If you were just using eBay mainly for generating leads then you can now explore the eBay classifieds’ section. I became a powerseller selling 99 cent ebooks, purely for lead generation in various niches.

Now that this is gone, it’s a good time to test the eBay classifieds’ section which is ideal for generating leads and it’s only $9.95 per month. It’s an inexpensive way to set up lead generation tests with upsells.

I will test this and get back to you.

Also, the change means there’s no competition now. The field has been levelled.

What you can do is burn your ebooks and software on CD and continue selling the physical version. The physical version commands a higher price.

Plus you also can include upsells while sending your CDs. Just include a printed offer along with the CD, making your customer a special offer, as a “thank you” for being a customer, for a product related to what they bought.

To differentiate from other sellers you can offer instant digital delivery as well, while your customers are waiting for their CD - with a software such as MyDD.

The main things I’d like to highlight:

1. If you have been selling low cost ebooks without building a list in the process… this change could be the best thing that ever happened to you! Start building a list so you can OWN your business and be immune to changes such as this one.

2. Don’t complain about things you can’t change. Instead keep looking for the opportunities. While most of your competitors are bitching, you can be cleaning house by acting quick and adapting to the changes.

3. Take action now by testing eBay classifieds and/or selling your ebooks on CD.

Hey guys… it’s good to be back to USA.

After a very long (24 hours in flights and
airport time) trip I arrived yesterday.

My friend Socrates Socratous (who is
a great marketer as most of you know)
picked me up from the airport and I’m
staying at his house until the seminar day.

I was exchausted and fell asleep at 9 pm
last night so I didn’t shut off the 48 hour
deal until this morning at 8 am when I woke up.

I have answered all support questions and I’ll be
getting to the rest of the emails later on.

Thanks all for being patient!

I’ll try to post some pictures soon.

Take care,

Stelios
