Answers About the “Blogging WonderKid”
I got over 57 emails and questions about Adam… the “18 year Kid” I told you about yesterday.
I’ll try to answer the most common questions below:
Q: Why is Adam’s course different than the others I’ve seen on blogging?
A: Because this kid has blazed a new trail… he didn’t just copy someone else, he actually created a new way of marketing and selling his own products.
There are very few people online that have come up with anything truly original and valuable. Adam is different because he tried new ways to sell and market stuff and it worked and that’s what he’s teaching in this course.
Q: If Adam has a really unique system, not seen before, why is he teaching it? Why not keep it to himself?
A: There no reason to keep it to himself. Think about it. The Internet is huge and full of opportunities that he will never, in his lifetime, be able to exploit so why not share it and make more money for himself?
Q: Is this hard to do?
A: That’s the best part. While no method for really making money is without some effort, this is probably one of the easiest systems to implement because it’s about setting up some simple blogs. And as Adam says in the course, you only want to blog about you’re passionate about so it’s fun too!
Q: Will this make me rich?
A: Probably not, but it does have the potential to help you make enough money to quit your job someday! If you follow the system Adam has laid out you’ll have a pretty good idea of the earning potential. If you really want to make money then this system will help you do it in the easiest and shortest time possible.
Q: Is this a complete system of do I need to buy something else to make it work?
A: I haven’t seen a system so complete in a very long time. Adam gives you everything you need starting right now and holds nothing back. There’s nothing else to buy and it costs less then $10 to get it started… there’s even an option to get started with zero cost.
Isn’t it time you gave yourself a chance to finally succeed?
Get over to Adam’s site and check out what you’re potentially missing.
What Were You Doing When You Were 18 Years Old?
When I was 18 years old there were very few opportunities to make any real money and the only thing I wanted as a kid was a really cool car.
I worked at a local grocery store for a few bucks an hour but with my age and experience that’s about all I could find. I was not going to be able to buy that cool car – not with what I was making, that’s for sure.

How to Promote Any Affiliate Program In Five Easy Steps
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire”
Using ezine articles is a great way to promote your favor affiliate program. What I’d like to do in this article is provide you with a simple system for effectively writing an ezine article that strategically promotes your offer.
There are five steps…
1. CHOOSE THE OFFER YOU WISH TO PROMOTE
This one is kind of a no-brainer. It all begins with deciding what you want to promote. What offer would you like to send traffic to.
HINT: You can promote your affiliate link directly, but what works better is to promote a list at YOUR site which you then use to promote your affiliate link over and over again after the visitor becomes a subscribers.
2. DETERMINE YOUR “USEFUL, BUT INCOMPLETE” APPROACH.
I love to use what I have coined as the “useful, but incomplete” approach when using freebies of any kind. (Ezine articles, free eBooks, reports, eCourses, etc.)
What I mean by that is simply this: You provide your reader with “useful” information (something they find of value and are able to actually apply) but make certain that it is “incomplete” in that they can better use the information
by making a purchase.
That’s “useful, but incomplete.” And it works like a charm.
The idea is to use your content to build up to your desired response. You provide the reader with content, and then you make an offer that allows them to fully utilize the content, gain extra insight from the content or maximize
the content in some additional way.
Let me give you an example -
If I wanted to promote an autoresponder service in an ezine article, how could I do it? I’d write an article that explains how to benefit from using autoresponders. My article would exlain different uses of autoresponders and how the reader could profit from implementing the ideas.
** I.E. 7 Ways To Create Revenue Streams With Autoresponders
Naturally, they will need an autoresponder service in order to use the information, right? And I just happen to know of a great service they can use. More on that later.
OK, so that’s an example of how to promote a SERVICE offer with your ezine article. What about a software product or an eBook?
Want some examples?
Good, because I’ve got two…
TO PROMOTE A SOFTWARE PRODUCT. Let’s suppose you want to promote
a software program that creates “ecovers”. How can you do it?
– Write an article outlining how important presentation of your offer is, and how creating a cover graphic can increase response rates by up to 1300%
– Write a step-by-step tutorial article for “do-it-yourselfers”, explaining how to design your own graphics from scratch. Then promote the software as a super-simplified way of doing it.
TO PROMOTE AN EBOOK. Let’s suppose you want to promote an ebook
that teaches advanced list-building strategies. How can you do it?
– Write an article that covers the “basics” of building lists, and then promote the eBook as the “advanced” tactics.
– Write an article on how to profit from a list, and then promote the eBook as the “how to build the list.”
See how easy this is?
That’s how it works. Determine what your “useful, but incomplete” approach will be, and then…
3. TURN YOUR APPROACH INTO A TIPS OR TUTORIAL ARTICLE.
Let’s use my example again. I decided that I would describe various uses of autoresponders and how the reader can actually profit from them. What kind of tips list or tutorial could I create?
* How to Generate More Subscribers, Sales and Profits With Automated Follow-Up Messages”
* 7 Powerful And Profitable Ways To Use Autoresponders To Skyrocket Your Sales and Subscribers!
* Want to Increase Your Online Profits And Leads? Here are 7 Ways to Do It…
I actually went with the middle title. I wrote my list of the 7 ideas that I wanted to share. And I had the makings of a perfect article to promote an offer.
That’s all you need to do. Determine your end result. Decide how yo get there with your “useful, but incomplete” approach. And then develop a list, or even a step-by-step tutorial for your article that leads the reader along.
With each new “idea” or “way” or “tip” or “step” or “strategy” that you share, you can further direct the reader towards realizing their need of your upcoming offer, and lay the foundation for them to accept the offer.
4. EXPAND ON EACH POINT TO BUILD YOUR CONTENT.
Here’s more of the easy part. Just “fill-in-the-blanks” to complete your article. Write 1-2 short paragraphs for each of your points. Make them good. Provide quality content. The offer you will soon make will see poor results if your information isn’t useful.
Remember, you are trying to presell the reader on the idea that they are going to need your offer. If you don’t provide them with quality information that they WANT to begin using immediately, then why will they want to buy what you are promoting?
Light a fire in them. Motivate them. Challenge them. Give them such nuggets of gold that they want to keep mining until they hit the mother lode!
5. PUT ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES WITH THE “FIVE PILLARS”
There are five things that you should always do to finish up your ezine article. Don’t skip any of them. They are all critical…
- POLISH. Re-read your article. Does it provide information that really is “useful” to the reader? And yet leaves them wanting even more? That’s what you want. Polish it. Put on the wax and make it shine. It has a very specific purpose — make certain it has the means to achieve it.
- PROMOTE. Use your resource box to promote your offer. This is why we’ve written the article, right? Remember step one? It’s time to put it into play. Give the reader what they (hopefully) are wanting…a way to maximize the information you gave them.
- PROOF. Don’t do this yourself. Have a trusted friend, relative or co-worker check your article for grammatical and typographical errors. The last thing you want to do is present a poor image after sharing some high quality information.
- PUBLISH. Zip your new article out to your favorite list of publishers. Submit it to the announcement lists and the ezine directories. Don’t forget to publish it yourself in your own newsletter!
- PROFIT. If you’ve covered all the bases that I’ve mentioned, then profits are almost certain to start coming in when your ezine article is published. You deserve it. Be proud of your accomplishments.
And then start it all over again!
That’s how you promote your favorite affiliate program in 5 easy steps using ezine articles.
Obviously, there are many other ways to promote your affiliate program, as well as a considerable more “details” in the strategy we’ve looked at today.

How To Build Lists and Affiliate Commissions in Minutes
As an internet marketer, you may know that building lists is one of the more profitable ways to build your online business. Combine that with affiliate marketing and you have a strong business model.
What’s the best way to put this into practice?
One of the better models is to create niche specific landing pages (squeeze pages) that entice the visitor to signup for your list and learn the answers that you promote on the landing page.
For example, if you are targeting the wart removal market, you would find a wart removal information product that converts well and then create a landing page that describes the troubles people have with warts, the frustration and then provide them with a solution. Provide them with benefits they can learn by joining your list.
After they confirm their email address, have your autoresponder send them to the affiliate program link you’re promoting with the Wart Removal solution you promised.
Then, follow up with them using email explaining the benefits of the solution you proposed, and your affiliate link where they can get the solution.
Building a list of prospects on a specific topic allows you to market to them on this and related topics for as long as they’re on your list. This gives you a much greater chance to convert sales rather than just sending traffic to an affiliate product directly without capturing their email address.
Some important tips:
First, test to see whether to send them to the affiliate program before or after confirming their address makes a difference on sales and email confirmation conversions. I’ve found that waiting until after confirming their address gets you more serious prospects and more sales in the long run, although you may have fewer subscribers. But test for your market and see what works best.
Next, pick an affiliate product that converts well. If you use Clickbank, check the gravity score. The higher the score means the product is selling and being referred, although you don’t need 500+ scores to find a winner. The scores are more indicative of the competition, but if they are selling, they have a positive gravity score.
Lastly, create a landing page that is persuasive and looks nice. Clean layout with some images relating to the niche you’re promoting seems to increase conversions.
What if you don’t know how to create landing pages?
One solution is to use a template pack already designed with a target market in mind.
We’ve put together a complete custom designed set of three landing pages, email confirmation pages… plus an autoresponder series for each product. This pack also includes a custom installation package that requires no HTML knowledge, just follow push-button instructions to customize and upload in minutes. So it’s great for both advanced marketers looking to save time, as well as those new to online marketing.
Only a limited number if these packs are available to protect your profits. I recommend either creating your own pages or using a set like these that are limited in availability. It’s best to have a more unique page not already used by thousands of others to provide your visitor with a great experience and convert more sales that turn into affiliate commissions.

All the best for your success!

How To Create a Buyers Only List
How To Create A “Buyers Only” List
By Jimmy D. Brown, http://PLRSO.com
Content is king. It gets to wear the crown. And sit on the throne. And rule the world. When it comes to establishing credibility, gaining trust and producing sales, content is royalty.
While I would never suggest abandoning the concept of delivering high quality content to your subscribers, there is another type of list composed of subscribers who couldn’t care less about content.
“What is this type of list?” you ask.
- > The “announcement list”.
I’ve been teaching about the “announcement” list since at least 2002 (on record at an event). And, yet, it’s a widely untapped asset in most email marketing circles.
The main reason is: nobody’s teaching it. And so, nobody knows anything about it, let alone how to effectively create one of these lists.
So, we’re going to revisit it.
————————————-
What Is An “Announcement” List?
————————————-
DEFINED: An announcement list is a list whose sole purpose is to “announce” (I.E. Inform, notify) when something new is available for review, consumption or purchase.
In other words, it unapologetically says, “Hey, I just released XYZ. Come check it out!”
Now, at first glance you may be thinking, “Who would join a list that offers no content and only sales pitch?”
If you say it that way, it doesn’t sound too good to me either! That’s why you don’t say it that way. Let’s take a look at HOW to “say it”…
————————————-
How About An Example “Announcement” List?
————————————-
If you go to this site:
http://PLRSO.com
you’ll find a textbook example of this concept. PLRSO stands for “Private Label Rights Special Offers” I established this list for the sole purpose of informing people anytime I have a new PLR offer available for them to buy.
That’s it.
I don’t send out ezine articles to them. No newsletters. They don’t get blog posts. There aren’t any special reports. No content of any kind. What they get, in essence, are sales messages.
And there are already 2,822 subscribers, many of which have already purchased some of the PLR special offers that have been “announced” to the list.
Why does it work? Let me give you plenty of reasons…
1. I took something that was “in-demand” (PLR) and I allow people to get a head-start on the world by knowing about new releases FIRST by joining this list.
2. It’s not billed as an “announcement list”, but rather a “Free PLR Club”. Big, big difference in perception.
3. It has it’s own domain name, further adding to the perceived value and importance to those who join.
4. There is no requirement to buy once you join. Buy the offers that you want, pass on the ones you don’t want.
5. A cost example is provided to show what you can buy immediately, further illustrating the value of the complimentary “membership”.
And here’s the big twist that makes this idea of creating an “announcement” list a complete no-brainer…
I allow my affiliates to “give away” complimentary memberships to the PLRSO club!
When someone they refer buys one of the offers, they earn a commission. And I get other people to promote and build my list for me. We all win.
So, you may be thinking…
————————————-
What Kind Of “Announcement” List can I Build?
————————————-
There are a wide variety of “announcement” lists that you can build. Let’s briefly look at ten of them…
* PLR List. You can swipe my idea and create a list of private label rights buyers.
* New Offers List. Build a list of people who love your work and want to be notified any time you have a new offer available.
* Pre-Launch List. Create buzz and anticipation for an upcoming new product release by building a pre-launch list several weeks (even months) in advance.
* Ezine Publishers List. Build a list of publishers who want to know any time you have a new ezine article that is available for reprint in their ezines.
* Bloggers List. Another idea is to allow bloggers who are looking for ready-made content to post to their blogs.
* Industry News List. How about becoming the “go to” guy or gal to share breaking news about your industry?
* Joint Venture List. Develop a list of partners and affiliates who are ready to promote anytime you have a new offer.
* Incentives List. Here’s a great idea – create a list of people who you offer “incentives” to when they purchase someone else’s new product through YOUR affiliate link.
* Freebie List. Regularly give away rebrandable content (reports, articles, videos, etc.) to these subscribers to earn commissions.
While all ten of these lists aren’t necessarily “buyers” up front, they each can certainly lead to buyers and revenue for you if you implement them.
Content is king. But let’s not forget that there are alot of queens, princes, dukes and earls out there too.

Internet Marketing: Do The Gold Box & Speed Strategies Work?

Or the nickel or dime technique?
Or the speed sale?
Wes Blaylock reveals these strategies (and more) in his new report, Speed Sale Secrets.
The report is direct and to the point, and filled with strategies that you can implement immediately to increase your bottom line. They can be up and running in a day and completed in under 2 weeks generating thousands. You don’t need your own products, be an expert, or have much time or money. Wes outlines exactly how to do each promotion so you can duplicate them quickly.
I especially appreciated the strategies that showed how you could give away 100% commissions and still make a killing with your promotions.
This report is written for both the newbie as well as seasoned marketer, with techniques suited for each.
It really doesn’t make sense for you NOT to check this out right now since the price goes up every 30 minutes.
