They are raising their price come May 6th!! It’s now a very low fee per month…but the owners say they are going to raise it substantially because they’ve been undercharging. Ahhhh! They also said that anyone who signs up before May 6th is guaranteed to stay at the low price it is now…even though the poor guys who sign up later will have to pay a lot more.

Hurry, hurry, hurry…

Now, this book doesn’t go in huge detail about the process. It is really leading you to check out the Teaching Sells membership website. In a nutshell, this is a program that can help you start your own money pulling membership site.

We all know there is a lot of crap on the Internet…this isn’t part of it! I’ve seen the inside and it is awesome. You will learn how to create your own multimedia membership sites. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never done it before…it doesn’t matter if you don’t think you know enough to sell a membership site…there are step by step directions and guidance there for you.

One thing I love about this membership site is that there are different ways to learn the material. It’s best if you use all of these ways so that the information sinks in. If my time as a teacher taught me anything, it’s that people learn in different ways. Some are visual, others auditory, others kinesthetic (touch), and so on. Teaching Sells Covers ALL of these.

Here is why you should join, above and beyond my great recommendation…

1. Membership sites are all the rage these days! The reason? It’s because they really work. For instance, there is a Warrior Special Offer running right now that offers a templated membership site per month, for $6,000 a year. The same 50 people get the same sites to try and sell to other people…and folks are snapping it up! Imagine what you could do with your own, unique membership site!

You see, people love information. They love for it to be handed to them on a silver platter. You can be the one to give it to them and they will pay handsomely for it

Here is a quick and dirty example…you design a membership site on a niche topic. If you charge twenty bucks per person and get just one hundred members you will be raking in a cool $2,000 per month. That is as much as many people make in their jobs, just for running a website from home (that’s what I made as a specially trained teacher…)

Imagine what could happen if you decide to start an affiliate program. If you have a site of value everyone will want to promote it!

Yep…I’m an affiliate… I would promote this site forever if I could. I love it that much. I want to see you on the inside, and you can get there through here:

Well, here is a strategy that I plan to put into action and it’s a great idea for you to do the same if you’re strapped for cash or just need some motivation to work on that next project.

How To Generate Emergency Money NOW!
Copyright 2008 by Willie Crawford

Over the past 11 1/2 years, I’ve created dozens of
information products, and sold hundreds of affiliate
products. I’ve discovered what does and what doesn’t work
in quickly creating AND marketing information products.

I’ve also shared with dozens of clients, and thousands of
subscribers, my very successful methods for earning a
living online. When I say shared, I’m referring to those
who were willing to listen and apply what I taught them.
Those who listened, but didn’t do, aren’t counted in that
number because to me “sharing” is a two-way
communication.

Today, I’d like to share with you exactly what I’ve
instructed dozens of people to do when they’ve came to me
with cash-flow emergencies. These were people who usually
came to me looking for a loan or a hand-out. Instead, I
usually had them do what I’m about to share with you.

I’ve learned over the year that giving handouts too quickly
only conditions the person to come back a few weeks later
for another handout. I believe that it’s important to teach
them a proven method for extricating themselves from such
situations.

Here’s the exact plan that I’ve directed many people to
follow:

1) Look around you, and identify two large, related
problems that you could create two information product as
solutions to. These need to be painful enough problems that
people are acutely aware of, that they desperately want to
solve , and that they’ll pay for good solutions to.

You generally want related problems because the plan
calls for selling both solutions to the SAME people. You’re
going to sell the first solution through affiliates, giving
them the majority of the money, and then you’re going to
keep at least half of the money on the second (backend)
product.

You’re going to set up you sales process so that you “lead”
with one product and then offer the second product as an
upsell, or special offer after the first purchase is made.

The reason that you’re going to pay your affiliates so much
is that you need them NOW. Without their enthusiastic
promotion of your products, this plan often CAN’T work very
quickly.

The most CRITICAL part of this whole plan is step 1, and
the most CRITICL part of step 1 is making sure that you
identify a real problem that people actually want to solve.
Otherwise, you end up creating products that no one will
buy.

When I look at why products fail, the number one reason (in
my opinion) is that demand wasn’t verified beforehand).

Teaching you how to do the research is beyond the scope of this
short article, but it only needs to take an hour or two. It IS
too
important to skip. An excellent guide to conducting painless
research is Steve Wagenheim’s “Niche Research Revolution.”

If you need help with the research, it’s at:
http://TheRealSecrets.com/SteveWagenheim/

2) Create the solution (product), or better yet, modify and
improve on an existing solution.

If you are good at researching, or already an expert on a topic,
then by all means write an ebook on it, or create a piece of
software that solves a big problem. At the same time, in many
niches you are surrounded by thousands of experts who have
already done the majority of the work for you. They’ve already
created the product and will often sell (or even GIVE) you
the rights to it. Then all you need to do is refine and
improve on these product that you have “Private Label Rights”
to.

Just go to any search engine, and do a search on your keywords
plus the term “private label right” or “PLR,” and you’ll locate
dozens of sources. Alternatively, just visit my blog, and
you’ll often discover dozens of people giving away private label
rights for various reasons. That blog is at:
http://WillieCrawford.com/blog/

Simply sit down and refine those PLR products (where someone
has already done 90% of the work) into something truly
valuable.

3) Get a few people to critique your product, offering
you feedback that both allows you to improve your solution
and that perhaps you can use as testimonials. After your
product is created, simply post on a discussion forum (after
confirming that it’s permissible) that you are looking for
product reviewers. You’ll get dozens of volunteers.

If you don’t get dozens of volunteers, I would take that as
an indication that you haven’t really found a painful enough
problem… at least not one that that particular community
cares about.

Do one product all the way through until it’s ready to launch
and then do the other one. For many people, doing them
simultaneously is too confusing.

4) Set these products up for sale with their own affiliate
program. Use a system such as Rapid Action Profits that
allows you to pay instant commissions. The instant
commissions are “key” because instant cashflow is as
important to many of your potential affiliates as it is to you.
You’ll recruit lot of affiliates who are promoting your products
almost on impulse.

That’s great!

You want people who will promote your product today rather
than a week or two from now.

I recommend Rapid Action Profits as the affiliate program
platform because it’s inexpensive, easy to set up, and you can
use it on as many different websites (with as many different
products as you want) after purchasing the software just once.
I use it on over a dozen websites. You can get RAP here:
Rapid Action Profits

Rapid Action Profits is designed to work with Paypal, meaning
that you don’t need a merchant account, and that anyone with a
Paypal account can become one of your affiliates.

5) Recruit affiliates by posting to forums that have a “joint
ventures” section. Post to communities set up to facilitate
your recruiting affiliates such as JV Alert and The
International Association of Joint Venture Brokers.

Announce to your email list that you are looking for affiliates.

Private Message (PM) or email ideal affiliates that you’ve
noticed promoting similar products, and ask them directly to
promote yours. Be very clear in these communications or you’re
likely to get declined or to not get firm commitments to promote
your products.

6) Turn customers into affiliates. Email customers who have
purchased your previous products thanking them, and pointing
out your new product(s). Explain why it’s a match for them and
rather than focusing on making a sale, make your focus
recruiting them as an affiliate (if appropriate).

Set up your autoresponder system so that any time anyone
purchases your product they are automatically invited to
become an affiliate. Consider adding a blurb right on your
download page that invites them to join your affiliate
program.

Your best potential affiliate ARE those who know and like
your product, so it makes perfect sense to recruit customers
as affiliates.

7) Use article marketing to generate interest and find
customers. Write a 500 – 1000 word article that:

a) Describes the problem that your product solves.

b) Explains why this really IS a problem that they DO want to
resolve.

c) Proves why your product is the perfect solution.

Submit these articles to every appropriate article directory
that you can locate as well as post them on your blogs, your
sites, and on discussion forums that have article sections. If
you can afford it, use an article submission service such as
ISnare.com or ThePhantomWriters.com. This will save you
considerable time and quickly get your articles in 100 times as
many places.

Leave “the land of excuses” and just do it! Make the
decision that you’re going to implement this plan, and then
instead of looking for reasons why you can’t implement it, look
at the very real reasons why you MUST implement this plan.

Acknowledge that the key to the success of your plan is taking
massive, immediate action, and refusing to EVER give up.

9) Update, test and track your sales process. As your articles,
affiliates, and emails drive traffic through your site, evaluate
how well your sales letters are converting. The ability to
split-test, and determine the exact conversion rates for your
sales letters is built right into Rapid Action Profits. Test
four or five different versions of the sales letter changing
only minor things on each one, such as the main headline or
the number of testimonials.

When you discover one sales letter that works better than
others, keep the one that is working, but then create a
slightly different version of the winner to test against your
new “control.”

10) Rinse and repeat. Once the sales start coming in, and you
see that this formula does indeed work, use the same system
to roll out other products. You are now building an army of
active, happy affiliates. Offer them other, equally-lucrative
products to promote.

Don’t allow the momentum to stop once you get it going – that’s
incredibly wasteful.

11) IMPORTANT: Slow down enough to act rationally rather than
in desperation. I put this step at the bottom because I want it
at the top of your mind as you get started.

As you implement this simple, proven plan, make sure that you
take a deep breath and don’t act out of desperation. People who
feel like that “HAVE” to get results today, often make very bad
decisions. Slow down enough to make sure that you’re actually
doing each of the preceding 10 steps, and in particular make
sure that you really confirmed that what you’re offering the
market is something that they want.

I’ve watched dozens of people use this exact method when they
suddenly found themselves needing to make a house payment, pay
a medical bill, or catch up with mortgage payments… and their
bank balance was “less than zero.”

This system does work. If you really examine it, there’s nothing
magical or mysterious about it. It’s just common sense, and
taking massive action. Now it’s time for you to apply both

I definitely plan on using this business model.  It is basically selling information via autoresponder that is set up for a limited amount of time.  So, if you’re teaching something that will only take 4 months to teach you would set up their subscription for only 4 month.  That means less work for you and you have a membership site that is set and forget!

Internet Marketing Lessons From A Side-trip In Las Vegas
Copyright 2008 by Willie Crawford

While attending an Internet marketing seminar in Las Vegas
recently, I decided to spend some time observing how those
with huge budgets market. I reasoned that in a city where
buildings often cost billions (with a B), they must know a
thing or two about effective marketing.

In this article, I’ll share just a few hours that I took
out from my day to tour a timeshare resort.

While walking through the casino where we happened to be
staying, my wife and I were approached by a casino
employee. He asked if we’d be interested in a few free
shows, and some buffet meals. My interest was piqued, and
I wanted to see how such a huge operation used a freebie
as a lead generator.

The employee steered us to a information counter where we
were told that to get the freebies, we needed to attend a
one-hour tour of a local resort… with no other obligations.
They did require a $40 deposit to reserve our spot on the
bus, and to ensure that we showed up.

At this point, the marketer in me “was game” even though
I considered my one hour… plus travel time, worth much
more than the value of the tickets and meals. However, I
wanted to compare their marketing to mine, so I went along.

At the appointed time, I showed up, filled out a short
form, that basically entered ALL of my contact info into
their funnel, and got on the bus.

On the bus, we were given a short survey to take that would
be used by the sales person to structure their pitch. The
survey asked about our opinions and travel habits. It also
was VERY leading… pointing out how much more sense it made
to stay in a 5 star resort condo for only $200 per week,
than it did to stay in a “ratty” hotel for $200 per night.

Getting off the bus, they collected our survey forms at the
door, and then seated us all in a large room that, among other
things, had a guy on a ukulele singing and providing mood music.

A sales rep walked into the room periodically and yelled out
one of our names. They’d then ask a few very brief questions
and tell us that a guide would be with us shortly. I suspect
that the purpose of that “little exercise” was to assess each
couple or prospect, and try to figure out which sales person
it would be best to match them up with. They were matching us
up with someone enough “like us” that we’d probably like them
… and maybe even want to help them make a sale.

They fully understood that “people prefer buying from people
that they know, like and trust.” People are also often more
inclined to buy from people that they feel are “like them.”

Our tour guide/sales person guided us into a large
presentation room where we were seated with our sales person.
Dozens of other couples were similarly seated in the room.

The sales person got enough preliminary information out of us
so that as we went around the room later, they could share
something special about each couple with the group. They
were somewhat creating a sense of community… or connection.

Next, one of the better sales people got up front and made
the first pitch, rolling in things such as scarcity, social
proof, consistency, authority… all of the things that I’d
read about in Robert Cialdini’s book, “Influence, The Psychology
of Persuasion.”

As the presentation proceeded, people in the room frequently
clapped at certain statements. Most of these were sales people,
but before long the prospects were also clapping.

I reflected upon the fact that on comedy television shows they
overlay “laugh tracks” to que you as to how you are suppose
to feel and respond. Cialdini tells of how they even had
people in the opera whose job it was to stand up and start
clapping to trigger that same response.

I smiled as I observed how well they orchestrated the
psychological triggers that I somewhat understood.

During the presentation it was pointed out how rapidly phase
1 of the project had sold out and how likely phase 2 was to
quickly sell out. In the pit of my stomach, I began to sense
the urgency/scarcity of the situation.

They continued by pointing out how rapidly prices were indeed
increasing for property in Las Vegas, and how the cost of a
unit on that condo could very well double by next year. The
urgency continued to build, except that the salesman in me
was enjoying watching the crowd more than I was paying
attention to the message. There was a small voice in the back
of my head reminding me that I didn’t travel to Las Vegas
searching for property, and in-fact had never even considered
living in Las Vegas.

They mentioned all of the celebrities, politician, and “big
wigs” who were a part of the project. Our sales person also
mentioned that she was an owner from phases I. That played
on a number of psychological factors including authority…
and social proof.

As we wrapped up the group presentation, and our guide took us
on a tour of the property, it was repeatedly point out to us
how “it only made sense” to purchase if we took even one
vacation a year. That point was really hammered home… much
as many online copywriters point out how much of a “no-brainer”
certain decisions are.

As the tour wound down, the sales person asked what we though.
She did several trial closes and also looking for the decision
maker.

My wife deferred to me, and I said that I rarely made snap
decisions. She pointed out that some people would instantly
“see the value” and that others wouldn’t. She emphasized that
since Las Vegas saw million of visitors per week, it really
was “no big deal.” My mind instantly flashed back to sales
letters that I’ve read where they point out that “they’ll
eat steak that night regardless of my decision.”

As I declined “the deal of the century,” naturally the sales
manager and other “very likable people” were brought in to
help out.

They assumed that it was “a price issue” so they strove to
determine what monthly payment I would be comfortable with.
They enlightened me to the fact that this was the only number
that really mattered

As someone with a harddrive full of digital properties
(resale rights to ebooks, software, etc.) that I might never use,
I CERTAINLY saw no logic in buying real properties that I might
never use!

The sales person asked me what she did wrong… and pointed
out that her manager would be critiquing her performance so
she really wanted to know. I wasn’t sure if this was an
attempt at making me feel guilty… and to therefore reconsider,
or if it was a genuine effort to determine how to improve
their process.

The sales manager asked me similar questions, patiently
waiting for me to talk myself into reconsidering

In the closing room, whenever a customer said yes, they put on
a big show, to include having them spin a wheel for a big prize.
That offered more social proof, and gave them an opportunity
to build value by piling on the bonuses.

In the end, I didn’t purchase but did feel that I’d gained
tremendous value from the experience. I saw how many of the
very things that we used in our online marketing are used in
“higher stakes” offline marketing. Practically everything that
they did made perfect sense, and I could see that I was
dealing with a well-oiled selling machine.”

As they transported me back to my hotel-casino, I also smiled
at the fact that while they had indicated that it was a “now
or never deal,” they also had my mailing address, phone
number, email address, and enough demographic data to follow-up
with me forever… if they choose to. I’m certain that they
will, and so I look forward to continuing to hone my online
marketing skills by studying sales people trained in a
“billion dollar environment.”

I also appreciate the fact that they staunchly refused to
discuss my going home and “thinking about it.” That simply
was never acknowledged as an option. They framed is as there
will be millions more next week, so we will sell out soon.
They closed the door of too many options, and I’m sure that
that increased their closing rate (since most who say that
they want to think about it, are soon sidetracked).

As an aside, during the formal presentation, they showed
how hotel after hotel was being bought up, and then imploded,
so that they could build several billion dollars resort casinos
on the same land. They frequently tossed around “the B word,”
and I could see that they were both building value and doing
an “apples to oranges” sales pitch.

I was mildly impressed when they mentioned that hundred million
dollar building were often bought only because someone wanted
the parking lot!

My little excursion provided dozens of other marketing lessons
that, if you are really listening, PROVE to you how effective the
very things that you are taught online everyday can be. The
fact that I am a sales person also shows that when you market
in a niche that’s full of other marketers (such as Internet
marketing) you will face a tougher challenge than you would if
you were marketing to someone who didn’t analyze your every
word.

Now I feel less guilty about skipping some of the seminar
presentations. As you can see, I WAS working. I was studying
how others practice my profession

Since I have tried most of the things out there, I’m glad to say that I’ve found something that works. I know that’s something you probably always hear, but this is truly different. In fact, I love this site so much that I bought resale rights to it! It’s one thing to become an affiliate of something, but quite another to shell out your hard earned cash in order to buy resale rights.

I truly believe in this membership site and it’s actually something that has catapulted me to success online. It really gets my creative juices going as you can tell by the launch of my http://www.freshlypickedcontent.com *COMING SOON* membership site

Would I have thought of this great idea without Instant Cash Generators? Probably not. I feel that this is going to lead me to such success in 2008.

If you haven’t joined up I really urge you to do so. It is less than $10 a month and the earning potential it creates is virtually unlimited.
