Get Your Free MP3 Player from Russell Brunson:

Micro-Continuity MP3

I wanted to share a post from my training blog detailing Russell Brunson’s free Mp3 Player Give Away.

I just finished watching a powerful 51 minute video presentation by Russell Brunson on the topic “Micro-Continuity.” If you are like me you likely are a member of more than one continuity program, which is basically a monthly subscription to access to a members only website where you access content pertaining to a niche or specific aspect of marketing, product creation, etc.

The marketplace is very competitive and it becomes a challenge for many to afford more than a few of these programs, which on average range anywhere from $17 to $97 per month and present a tremendous value for what you receive. So what should you do if you are introducing a new program and the budgets of your potential members are already being tapped? The answer should be “Micro-Continuity.”

Russell Brunson has added a little twist to the basic monthly continuity model by advocating for a fixed period for the program. As a result your customer can budget for program that last 1-3 months and ends instead of an open ended monthly commitment. This allows you to provide content for a fixed period of time and then close the program or cycle back through the content with a new set of customers. The Micro-Continuity program is this and so much more.

The genius of Russell’s program is that reveals a powerful new system for getting a mini-membership site up and running in less then 24 hours. There will be a tremendous amount of actionable content provided in the pre-release phase of the product release and I encourage you to sign up and watch the videos – there will be two.

The actual “Micro-Continuity” course will be delivered through 6 hours of high value content pre-loaded on an MP3 Player that Russell Brunson is giving away for free. If you enter your name and email address below I will forward you to a special page where you can watch the first video and reserve your MP3 Player if you decide that this training provides value for you.

You’ll have to watch the video to understand why (and how) Micro-Continuity works so fast…

How to Pull In As Much Profit As Your Wallet Will Hold With Opt-In Lists

By Jimmy D. Brown

The fortune is in the list.

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard that said, well, I’d already have a fortune!

However “broken-recordish” it may sound, it is a truthful statement. The fortune REALLY IS in the list.

Fact is, if you possess the knowledge of how to grow and profit from opt-in lists, you can pretty much write your own ticket.

And, if you’ll read the remainder of this article, I’ll pass that knowledge right on to ya.

It comes down to getting folks to do four things…

1. REQUEST. First things first, you need to convince people to “opt-in” to your list. That is, get them to join your list of their own free will.

Usually, this involves giving away a mini-course, report or newsletter from your web site. All you need is..

- An Attention Grabbing Title. (I could have chosen “4 Keys to Successful Email Promotions” for this article, but is that as attention-grabbing as “How to Pull in As Much Profit As Your Wallet Will Hold From Opt-In Lists”?)

- A Handful of Bulleted Benefits. (A short list of 4-6 desirable things subscribers will learn if they join your list. Think “what’s in it for me?”)

- An Opt-In Submission Form. (Your autoresponder system will provide this for you.)

NOTE: The BEST way to get folks to join is to embed the above mentioned items DIRECTLY in the most prominent place you have your site visitors’ attention. Usually this is 3-5 paragraphs into your sales letter or 1/3 of the way into an ezine article.

2. RECEIVE. After visitors to your site have “requested” information by joining your list, it’s critical that your emails be delivered successfully to their in box. With all of the filters in place (among other hazards) this can be quite a chore.

One thing you’ll want to do for certain is check your SPAM rating to make certain it’s in an acceptable range. Again, most of the better autoresponder services offer this feature for you.

You can also do things like…

- Get your subscribers to “approve” mailings from you.

- Authenticate yourself as a legitimate mailer when you receive a “response challenge” from protection services such as Spam Arrest.

- Use alternative formats of your email messages such as “downloadable email messages” in PDF format.

3. READ. When your emails successfully arrive at the inboxes of your subscribers, another task awaits – getting them to actually open your message and read it.

This is going to depend upon your “subject line”. It is paramount that your subject line be intriguing enough to convince your readers to stop what they are doing and take a look inside.

One way to get this done is to create a swipe file of email subject lines that have convinced YOU to read the messages and then modify those subject lines for your own use.

For example I received an email that had the subject line of “This affiliate tip is almost too easy” that caught my attention and forced me to read the associated message.

This subject line could easily be used in a variety of different niches…

- This dieting tip is almost too easy
- This time management tip is almost too easy
- This marriage saving tip is almost too easy

4. RESPOND. When you have convinced your subscribers to open your email message and read its contents, the only remaining “task” is to get them to respond.

You want them to take action. Click a link. Go somewhere. Ultimately, spend money with you.

The only way you’ll be able to do this is follow a simple catch phrase I’ve been teaching for years: “useful, but incomplete”.

It simply means this: your messages must provide content that is useful to your subscribers (otherwise, they’ll unsubscribe faster than you can say “oops”!), but is also “incomplete” in that there is some additional offer that could enhance or maximize that content.

For example you might write an article that shares “7 Ways to Profit With Autoresponders” to send to your list. That’s “useful” information to those who are interested in that particular topic. It’s also “incomplete” because they need an autoresponder service to put the information into action. That’s your cue to promote your recommended autoresponder service.

See how it works?

If you want to pad your wallet with profits by using opt-in lists, this is how you do it:

Get people to do these four things

- Request
- Receive
- Read
- Respond

This is a system that has never failed, will never fail. I’ve used it. Others have used it.

Now, it’s your turn to use it.

Brown is sharing his simple, yet powerful 6-step system that will show you how to grow your list, provide your readers with the content they crave and start making more money than you ever expected from your list.

Allow me to make a few assumptions so that I speak directly to those who can benefit most from this tool. So you have finally stepped into the world of making money online. You too, like many others, have decided to start with affiliate programs. Also, you must have heard that it’s not a big deal to make good money with affiliate marketing, provided you choose the right programs and do some strategic planning while promoting your affiliate products. So far so good.

The profession of affiliate marketing is competitive but if you are strategic and invest the time required to effectively structure your business funnel and marketing techniques you can create a profitable business that produces multiple streams of consistent income in a variety of niche markets.

Take a close look at the profession, you will see that not every one who gets into affiliate marketing is successful. People who are doing well leave no room for failure and take all security measures and understand its importance. When I first started promoting affiliate products using my affiliate links I had no idea that someone could literally steal my commissions.

Security is one of the key factors in properly setting up your affiliate marketing business. If you do not adopt proper security measures, your business will be at high risk potentially costing you thousands of dollars in lost commissions. One of the most important way to restore security is to protect your affiliate links. Do not take them for granted. A bit of carelessness on your part in regards to affiliate links may cost you a lot of dollars.

Do you know the long complicated links that you send to your prospective customers not only look convoluted but they can create a lot of problems too! If you send such an affiliate link to your customers, then the smart ones will definitely figure out that you are promoting someone else’s product and they would rather visit the parent website. People often do this because they mistakenly assume that dealing with the actual creator of the product offers some advantages, which is generally not the case. Also, if your link does not function properly your customers will need to type a long obscure URL into their browser, which may definitely put him or her off and you may loose the moment of decision leading to the purchase.

There have also been cases where a fellow affiliate, a small percentage who are Internet traffic pirates, actually replace your links with their own and literally hijack your commissions. This is a more rare, but no less real security threat that is easy to defeat.

Once I understood the risk of exposing my links, I set out to research link cloaking tools including expensive software packages and a number of free web based tools on the marketplace. When I discovered Viral URL everything fell into place for me as I discovered a great tool to leverage traffic in addition to securing my affiliate URL.

So, if you are not getting the desired amount of traffic or if you are recording a large amount of hits with few conversions try adding Viral URL to your affiliate promotions tool box and monitor the results. There’s definitely a remedy to these challenges and the best part is that an fully functional account with Viral URL is free by simply following this link: is ViralURL.com

I have been using this program for several months now and it has created a tremendous amount of leverage in my business. In addition to using the program to cloak my affiliate links, I also use it to shorten links when I am linking a blog, article or other web page in my social network updates and tweets on Twitter. This allows me to earn advertising credits in Viral URLs link rotators program, which is included with your free account. By incorporating this into your funnel you can gain additional traffic to your pages and larger commissions from increased sales.

Here is a quick review of this powerful system:

*ViralURL helps you protect your commissions
*ViralURL helps you drive traffic
*ViralURL helps you build mailing lists
*ViralURL helps you track statistics
*ViralURL helps you earn ad credits

After using the system extensively I cannot find any negative aspect associated with ViralURL. I recommend visiting the website, signing up for a free account, cloak a few affiliate links and share a few article links on your social media sites and then review the statistics to see the number of clicks you receive and fully understand how easy this system is to use.

You can get all detailed information about the program from the site www.ViralURL.com . There, you can find several unsolicited testimonials from various users of ViralURL. So if you want to protect your business and see your earnings grow, try ViralURL.
