Mike loves to create great free helpful content <a href="http://niche-control-marketing.com/" target="_blank">on his own blog</a>, why not drop by and say hi.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve heard it until you&#8217;re sick of it. I know, because I have too. In a sea of confusing, conflicting and sometimes downright incorrect information, one constant always seems to rise to the surface. So get ready to hear it one more time: To greatly increase your chances of building a successful Internet marketing business, YOU MUST BUILD A LIST.</p>
<p>When just starting out, it seems like a daunting task. You must start from zero and entice thousands of strangers to surrender the address of an inbox that is already besieged with email from friends, family, and SPAM servers. Every day billions of emails fly around the globe, bloating inboxes and junk email folders until mail servers groan and overheat. What can we possibly say in the subject line that would even prompt someone to pick ours out of the avalanche of email they receive on an hourly basis, open it, and then read the darned thing? Most people, and seemingly rightly so, just give up on this.</p>
<p>* But Isn&#8217;t Email Dead?</p>
<p>Another chant we&#8217;ve been hearing a lot lately is that EMAIL IS DEAD. After reading the description above, you might be inclined to believe that one. I mean, come on. We&#8217;re all suffering from a bad case of email fatigue. Some days we hit the delete key without even thinking about who the sender is or reading the entire subject line. Surely everyone else must be doing the same thing. Is it true? Could email really be dead?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m here to tell you that nothing could be further from the truth. Email is alive and well, but at the same time things have certainly changed. Because of the constant assault on inboxes everywhere, we have an incredibly small window to slip our message through. And due to many factors and outside distractions, such as MP3 players, and cell phones that can play games, send text messages and also access Facebook and Twitter, our email can really get lost in the noise.</p>
<p>* Separating Yourself From The Pack</p>
<p>So what will be the one thing that will make your email stand out from all the others? Why should anyone sign up for your list, and then open your emails once they start to flood in?</p>
<p>Incredible value, that&#8217;s what. You have to offer incredible value to get an email address, whether it&#8217;s a free report or a training series or some other enticement, and then continue to deliver even more value through outstanding content. Forget about saving your best stuff just for your blog. Yes, that has to be top notch as well, but all your emails need to contain your very best writing.</p>
<p>You must capture your reader&#8217;s attention and hold it, beginning with the subject line and not letting go until they read your signature at the bottom. You must test different subject lines and monitor open rates for various word combinations, culling those that don&#8217;t produce well. You should be using every possible method to capture an email address, including all forms of social media, web forms on your blog or site, list swaps, etc.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re thinking that this sounds like a lot of work, believe me it is. But it&#8217;s absolutely one of the best investments you can make in your online business.</p>
<p>* Autoresponders Can Help</p>
<p>Additionally, the importance of a great autoresponder service cannot be overstated. Pick a reliable one and get to know it intimately. I use Aweber, but there are others out there that Internet marketers swear by. I mention Aweber because it&#8217;s where I started and I know it well, but whichever service you choose, be sure to exploit all the metrics they have to offer. The insight they provide is very valuable when it comes time to fine tune your campaigns. Learning everything there is to know about your autoresponder is well worth the time investment.</p>
<p>Opinions differ as to what your email should say, but the recent trend, which my testing bears out, points to the fact that longer emails seem to get a better response than short emails with a link to click through to your website. The less clicks a reader has to do, the better. Once you grab their attention, your enthralling content will keep them reading.</p>
<p>* Short And Sweet? Size Matters&#8230;</p>
<p>And what keeps people reading? Just be yourself. A few short introductory sentences about your day or what you&#8217;ve been up to recently can give people a sense of who you are and give them the feeling that you&#8217;re a real person. Hook them with your intro, then hit them with your best stuff in the body of the email. Wrap it up with a call to action, and you&#8217;ve got the makings of a great email and lots of very satisfied readers.</p>
<p>Remember, never miss an opportunity to capture an email address. No matter how folks find you, they should have the chance to sign up and receive your emails. Building a list will give you the best chance at growing a successful Internet marketing business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a very short blog post for you today, however, just because it&#8217;s short don&#8217;t underestimate the content I&#8217;m sharing.</p>
<p>Can you spot the difference between these two Warrior Special Offers?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-special-offers-forum/538080-warrior-special-offer-domination-program-can-teach-anyone-create-warrior-special-offer-sells.html" target="_blank"><strong>WSO Domination &#8211; The Program That Can Teach Anyone to Create a WSO That Sells</strong></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-special-offers-forum/496401-dont-list-another-warrior-special-offer-without.html" target="_blank"><strong>Don&#8217;t List Another WSO Without This</strong></a></p>
<p>You got it, they are both for the same product.</p>
<p>However, while the product is the same I am using two different affiliate programs, one uses <a href="https://www.clickbank.com/index.html" target="_blank">ClickBank</a> and the other is using <a href="http://www.warriorplus.com/" target="_blank">Warrior Plus</a>.</p>
<p>By doing this I am effectively putting my product in front of two sets of affiliates via their marketplaces.</p>
<p>I actually never planned to do this but I wanted to test how Warrior Plus works out and so far I&#8217;m happy with the results. However, it struck me that by doing what I did, I am now getting my offer in front of more affiliates and getting affiliates on board is the key to a successful product.</p>
<p>I could even go one further and use other affiliate programs such as <a href="http://www.jvzoo.com/register/7892" target="_blank">JV Zoo</a>, if I did this I would be taking advantage of their marketplace as well.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t hard to set up as you will already have a sales page, thank you page and affiliate page. Just remember if you do this you&#8217;ll need to keep everything separate by having completely different thank you pages, autoresponder messages and sales pages as you obviously want to make sure affiliates get rewarded for their efforts. So if an affiliate generates a sale via Warrior Plus I want to make sure that I only promote the Warrior Plus version of the upsell.</p>
<p>Here are my two different upsell pages. Note the different payment processors.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wsodomination.com/develpoment_offer/" target="_blank">ClickBank</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wsodomination.com/wso_development_offer/" target="_blank">Warrior Plus</a></p>
<p>So if you already have a product for sale online consider using an additional affiliate program and you will attract more affiliates, how do I know this? Because I&#8217;m doing it <img src='http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #808080;">Today’s guest post is by<strong> <a title="Dan Sumner Blog" href="http://www.dansumnerblog.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: #808080;">Daniel Sumner</span></a></strong>. Dan loves to create great free helpful content at his on own blog. You can also catch up with him on Twitter @danielsumner. Don’t be afraid to slide over and connect with Dan. </span></p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft" title="product_development" src="http://www.dansumnerblog.com/images/product_development.png" alt="Product Development" width="304" height="163" />Product creation is hard work!</strong></p>
<p>I would also like to bet that 90% of people who create a product only get as far as the idea stage and don’t know how to progress further.</p>
<p>I mean how would you get past the idea stage? What knowledge do you have on product creation? We weren’t taught it at school? The last time I looked there were no college courses for online product development. Do you just go it alone? Maybe I can help you out a little.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Choose your passion</span></h3>
<p>Why would you create a product in one niche if you weren’t passionate about it? Could you immerse yourself into a product? Could you live it and breathe it if you didn’t like it? How could you give that product 100% 24/7 if you didn’t love it and love learning about it? With the world as your audience and the internet as your shopping mall, there aren’t many niches out there that you can’t provide a product for.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>I guess by now you may have a niche idea in mind, so let’s move on<span id="more-1582"></span></strong></p>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Planning is the key</span></h3>
<p>Without prior planning you are dead in the water. Yeah sure you can create a product on the fly, you can wing it, you can scrape it all together and create it with post-it notes. But would it be as cool and as awesome as it could be if you just planned your full product before you even started?</p>
<p><strong>Are you asking yourself the critical questions, such as:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Do I have enough knowledge?</li>
<li>Can I learn this knowledge?</li>
<li>Is my niche profitable?</li>
<li>Am I in the right niche?</li>
<li>Can I monetise my product?</li>
<li>What sales flow should I have?</li>
<li>What payment processor will I use?</li>
<li>What format should I have?</li>
<li>What format is going to work best for me?</li>
<li>What is the purpose of my product?</li>
</ul>
<p>These are just some of the questions you need to ask yourself before creating your product. If you have your bases covered then your product is going to CRUSH IT. I have no doubt.</p>
<p>The first stages of product creation start with an idea of what could be. Ask yourself the question, what do I need? What do others need? What can I provide to help people? These questions provide you with the grounding for the start of your product development plan.</p>
<p>You don’t have to reinvent the wheel when creating your own product, your new product just needs to work and provide good information for the end user. For example, how many traffic programs are out there? How many FaceBook programs have you seen? If something is working for you then you can create a product. If you have something to teach, then why not teach it? If you have a software idea then why not create it? Like I said you don&#8217;t have to reinvent the wheel, just provide some great info that works and helps others.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Break out the mind maps</span></h3>
<p>Below you will see an example mind map about product development (You can click the link to look at the map in full). As you can see there are a lot of angles to cover when creating a product and a mind map is the perfect starting point.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Product Ideas Mind Map" href="http://www.dansumnerblog.com/downloads/product_ideas.pdf" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="mind_map" src="http://www.dansumnerblog.com/images/mind_map.jpg" alt="Product Ideas Map" width="504" height="281" /></a></p>
<p>Mind maps allow you to see things clearly and effectively build on ideas to create the perfect idea. By building mind maps for your future products nothing should be left on the table and no critical parts should be missed.</p>
<p>By creating more than one mind map for each module of your product, you can break your product down, and then bring it all back together again. With all avenues accounted for, it’s time for product creation.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Play to your strengths and outsource</span></h3>
<p>Lets take a few things into account, such as what are you good at? Are you a good writer? Are you articulate? Do you have confidence behind a camera or using screen capture software? Are you awesome at graphical content?</p>
<p>By playing to your strengths you can make product creation very easy indeed. I mean how easy is it to do the things which are second nature to you? Very easy!</p>
<p>Unless you have the time to learn all aspects of product creation, it’s time to get tough and outsource. If you have problems with certain aspects of your products e.g. graphics, is it not time to outsource and save time and quality rather than struggle along with poor quality? Outsourcing is a must for a professional look and feel.</p>
<p><strong>Here are 6 things you may want to remember when creating your product in the future.</strong></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> <strong>Niche</strong> – Love your niche and be passionate about it. Your knowledge is power.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> <strong>Format</strong> – Decide on your format and create the best product to your ability. eBooks, video and audio all have awesome power. Master these techniques.<br />
<strong><br />
3.</strong> <strong>Pages</strong> &#8211; Get your website pages down before hand. The last thing you need is to miss one when it comes to the end and launch day.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> <strong>Sales flow</strong> – Plan your sales flow and how you want your product to flow. Do you want upsells, down sells, exit pop etc.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> <strong>Payment processor</strong> &#8211; Plan your payment processor and who you are going to use. Can they accommodate the sales flow?</p>
<p><strong>6.</strong> <strong>Test, Test ,Test</strong></p>
<p>By using the techniques above you can create a great product easily and more efficiently with a lot less effort. By mind mapping and structuring your products, you can use the same model time and time again creating a fail safe structure which you can use over and over again which works!</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000000;">Your turn</span></h3>
<p>Did you find this helpful? Is this your first product? When it comes to product development and product creation, how do you do it?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, is it just me or is this month flying by? We are already past the halfway mark and it won&#8217;t be long till this month is over, how are your plans for the year going so far? I hope you are keeping to your New Year Resolutions.</p>
<p>For me things are pretty much going to plan. I mentioned <a href="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/my-predictions-for-2012/" target="_blank">in this blog post</a> in late December 2011 that I planned to launch 3 products in January alone and I am still on course to do that.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lpb.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-1547" title="lpb" src="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lpb.jpg" alt="" width="113" height="91" /></a>After the successful launch of 30 Day Traffic Flow with Dave Whitworth I launched a developer version of Like Page Builder with Dave Nicholson as a Warrior Special Offer on Saturday, so far it&#8217;s going very well and people are delighted with our offer, if you still haven&#8217;t checked it out <a href="http://www.likepagebuilder.com/wso" target="_blank">you can do so here</a>.</p>
<p>Basically if you join at the pro level you will receive a developers license worth $197 free. This license enables you to build Facebook pages for an unlimited number of clients. Let me tell you this is a highly lucrative marketplace and it is an area I am already looking into, I will of course keep you posted.</p>
<p>I also created another blog last week called <a href="http://www.fivedollarwso.com/" target="_blank">fivedollarwso.com</a>, it is another site that uses the Flexibility 3 Theme. I&#8217;m just sort of messing about with it at the moment but the plan is to fill it with $5 Warrior Special Offers and provide some free WSO training. If you have been following my WSO Domination training and have launched a $5 WSO please let me have the details and I&#8217;ll put it on the site for free. Incidentally if you like the look of fivedollarwso.com and this blog you can create one just like it by checking out the &#8216;copy this blog&#8217; tab at the top of the page.</p>
<p>So far I have mentioned 2 of the 3 products I planned to launch this month. I&#8217;m not going to mention the third product I will be launching just yet but let me tell you that it will be my biggest and most intense product to date. Before I reveal any more I have compiled a 30 second survey and I would appreciate it if you could help me to help you by filling it in. It&#8217;s completely anonymous and you only have to answer the questions you want to, I&#8217;ll be sharing the results and my thoughts and more details about this very soon.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NVZ9MYP" target="_blank">You can take the survey here</a></strong>.</p>
<p>So that is January in a nutshell and let me tell you this is just the beginning, I already have another launch with <a href="http://www.dansumnerblog.com/" target="_blank">Daniel Sumner</a> planned for February and I am going to dedicate the month of February by putting together a series of free training videos and webinars for my subscribers. I am going to make sure that no matter what level you are at that I provide you with something that can help you move forward.</p>
<blockquote><p>Sidenote! Have you noticed how many products I have released recently, it&#8217;s a lot isn&#8217;t it? Well you haven&#8217;t seen nothing yet as I plan to launch a lot more this year, some will be highly successful, some maybe not so but all will make me money and help build my business.</p>
<p>I have said from day one and I will say it again that product creation is the number one reason for my success online and once you get into the habit of creating new products there really is no stopping you. <strong>The most important thing you can do online is put buy buttons and opt-in forms in front of people, never forget that</strong>!</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s it for now, as always <a href="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/2012-the-year-so-far-and-what-lies-ahead/#comments">feel free to share your thoughts</a> and also let me know how your plans are going so far this year.</p>

<p>In the early days of your websites life you might wonder where your next visitor is coming from!</p>
<p>You thought you had done all the hard work in building your site. Surely it is only time before floods of traffic crash your server? (If only)</p>
<p>Giving up is not an option but what is wrong, is it you, is it the content on your site, just what are you doing wrong?</p>
<p>Well the truth of the matter is that you are probably not doing much wrong at all! Some sites take years before they become popular but that&#8217;s not very comforting as you need traffic now. Well the good news is with a little patience and a proven traffic generation strategy you can soon create a flow of traffic to any website.</p>
<p>This is of course assuming that you are offering something that people want? If so it is only a matter of letting them know where to find it.</p>
<p>You can spend a fortune on paying for traffic and in my experience it is an area which should be approached with caution. An ill advised campaign here and some vastly overpriced keywords there and you will very soon be soon over budget and probably out of pocket.</p>
<p>Using free methods of traffic generation can be time consuming and require you putting in some effort but unless you have a huge budget, going down the route of free targeted traffic is always the best option.</p>
<p>You have probably tried some free traffic methods and had some success but gave up because you weren’t sure what worked best for you, here&#8217;s 3 methods I have found to work very well.</p>
<p><strong>Dave&#8217;s 3 Top Traffic Tips</strong>:-</p>
<p><strong>1, Blog &amp; Forum Commenting</strong> &#8211; This is a fantastic way to generate free traffic back to your website. Simply look for blogs &amp; forums related to your niche and submit quality comments.</p>
<p>Both blog commenting and forum posting can bring lots of targeted traffic to your site but for me forum posting just edges it.</p>
<p>When you comment on a blog, that post soon moves down and sometimes out of the picture quicker than a forum post. With a forum post, you can join a thread that stays around for as long as people post comments to it.<br />
There is an art to forum posting and if you just go along and say ‘nice one’ or ‘that’s just what I was looking for’ you will just get ignored.</p>
<p>Provide <strong>quality comments</strong> on blogs and forums and you will get noticed. Provide thought provoking topics on a popular forum and you can have thousands of eyeballs on your signature following your link back to your site. There are actually people on the Warrior Forum who do exactly this and earn a full time income from this type of traffic generation method alone.</p>
<p><strong>2, Article Writing </strong>- Some people think this is no longer a good way to drive free traffic but let me assure you it is. As long as you write interesting articles for humans to read and not some spammy re-spun article that is worthless to anyone reading it.</p>
<p>Article writing should be approached as if you were telling an interesting story. It could be a story which leads you from title to author resource box by giving a solution to a problem but above all it should leave the reader wanting more. When writing an article don&#8217;t hold back, share everything you know and this will make people interested in your paid offers.</p>
<p><strong>3, Writing Guest Articles For Blogs</strong> &#8211; Blog owners love unique quality content for their blogs and if you can get your articles published on other marketers blogs this will help get the word out about your website/offer. Again your article should be the best quality it can be and it should also be 100% unique for the blog it is published on.</p>
<p>Make sure you tell the blog owner that your article will be written exclusively for their blog and explain any benefits this will bring and you will find many blog owners take you up on your offer. I know this method works as you are reading my article on John&#8217;s blog <img src='http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>There you go, 3 simple traffic generation techniques that will provide your website with all the traffic it can handle.</p>
<p>These 3 methods are just a few of the tried and tested methods used in the <a href="http://www.30daytrafficflow.com/launch_special/" target="_blank">30 Day Traffic Flow System</a>. I designed it when my own traffic generating attempts began to frustrate me. There are many methods of traffic generation inside the member’s area and a spreadsheet which when used on a daily basis will let you know how you are doing against your targets. Not all methods of targeted traffic generation work for everyone and you can soon drop the ones that are not working and increase the ones that are.</p>
<p>As the name suggests you will create a flow of traffic within 30 days. Depending on your efforts this flow could turn into a flood. You do have to put some effort into it, but once set up, you can pick and choose your battles.</p>
<p>If you are struggling to get targeted traffic to your site or offer 30 Day Traffic Flow could be just what you need. There are many reports inside which could easily sell individually for more than the price of the whole system!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here we go again, another year is over and we will probably look back at 2011 to see how it went and look forward to 2012 to plan they year ahead. So now I am going to tell you how 2011 went for me and what my plans are for 2012.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Fotolia_30449213_XS.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-1496" title="Clock Ticking Down to 2012 - New Year" src="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Fotolia_30449213_XS.jpg" alt="" width="136" height="115" /></a>In 2011 I released a record number of products and in 2012 I plan to release even more.</p>
<p>You will see me release at least one new product each month in 2012 and I will actually release three new products in January alone, and if you wish you can quote me on that because two of these products are complete, I just need to fit the time in to launch them, it&#8217;s a nice problem to have though <img src='http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>If you have been a subscriber or blog reader of mine for any amount of time you will know product creation is something I have always preached from day 1,<strong> I keep putting buy buttons in front of people because it keeps making me money</strong>. It&#8217;s not rocket science but yet it&#8217;s still something most people haven&#8217;t done. Most people will simply look for alternative &#8216;push button&#8217; methods or quick fix solutions. You&#8217;ve probably heard me talk about this till I&#8217;m blue in the face and you may think &#8220;that&#8217;s nothing new John&#8221;, well guess what? What I do isn&#8217;t new, in fact I still do the same thing I&#8217;ve done since 2004, I create and sell information products, the only thing that has changed is the type of information in the products I sell and the fact I use video more than anything else to deliver my information.</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s my first prediction for 2012, <strong>nothing has really changed in the last 7 years and won&#8217;t change</strong>, people will always crave information and it&#8217;s our job to provide it.</p>
<h2>2011 Was The Year of The WSO But Will it Last?</h2>
<p>2011 was the year of the Warrior Special Offer and although WSO&#8217;s have been around for years 2011 saw an explosion in this area, and my prediction for 2012 is they will continue to be just as popular and in fact become even more popular, after all it&#8217;s just people selling information to people who crave it so nothing will change there as more and more marketers are realizing that creating and selling products on the Warrior Forum really can be a very lucrative way to sell information.</p>
<p>What I do predict will change though, is the way people choose to sell their WSO&#8217;s. I feel a lot of people will suffer at the hands of PayPal and choose other methods of payment and running the affiliate side of things. I really feel a big bubble is about to burst so remember where you read it first.</p>
<p>2012 will also see me launch my most comprehensive coaching program ever. I have launched many programs over the years but I am currently putting together a 12 month program that will enable anyone who wants me as their mentor to achieve success in 2012 and I expect to launch this around the end of January. More in this in a couple of weeks time.</p>
<p>So as you can see my predictions are nothing really groundbreaking are they? The reason is because while the Internet is moving forward so fast the fundamentals will always be the same. People go online every day to search for one thing, <strong>information!</strong> Never forget that, I had a record year in 2011 simply because I worked on what I know works and I plan to work on it even more in 2012 by releasing more products than ever.</p>
<p>Hopefully this blog post will make you realize that product creation is the way forward, once you get that, success really is almost guaranteed.</p>
<p><strong>So set your sights on creating as many info products as possible in 2012 and I&#8217;ll meet you at the bank.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Fotolia_2278947_XS.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-1479" title="Typing on a White Computer Keyboard" src="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Fotolia_2278947_XS.jpg" alt="" width="254" height="170" /></a>Following on from part one of this series I now want to discuss something else you must learn to create an effective sales page and that is basic copywriting.</p>
<p>If you want to sell any product or service online you need to learn how to write copy. While this is something I believe some people have a natural talent for it is certainly something that can be learned/taught.</p>
<p>First of all you need to know your product inside out. This goes without saying so my advice is to get your product completed before you write any copy. This way your product will be fresh in your mind. As you create your product be sure to write down all the benefits that your product will deliver to the end user. EG:</p>
<p>Will it make their life easier?<br />
Will it enable them to make more money?<br />
Will is solve a burning problem?</p>
<p>When the time comes to write your sales page try to imagine you are sat at a table with a friend opposite. Now imagine yourself explaining to your friend what your product will do for them and simply put it into words.</p>
<p>These are the sort of things you need to get across.</p>
<p>Most sales pages follow the 5 p&#8217;s of selling, they are.</p>
<p><strong>P</strong>roblem<br />
<strong>P</strong>romise<br />
<strong>P</strong>roof<br />
<strong>P</strong>rice<br />
<strong>P</strong>S</p>
<p><strong>Problem:</strong></p>
<p>Most of the time your product will solve a problem, you have to make sure you mention all the pain that has to be addressed that your product will relieve. For example when I launched WSO Domination I knew people would have problems setting up successful Warrior Special Offers. So I increased the pain by saying most people struggle to get traffic, don&#8217;t know what to create and struggle to get JV&#8217;s. I then mentioned that most people didn&#8217;t have a clue how to set up a successful WSO and then I mentioned how my product would solve their problems.</p>
<p><strong>Promise:</strong></p>
<p>Here you must make the reader believe in you and your product. Tell them how your product will deliver more than they expect, how it will solve all of their problems and that you as a person can be trusted to deliver.</p>
<p><strong>Proof:</strong></p>
<p>Here you need to prove that your product delivers and convince people you know what you are talking about. This is where you can provide testimonials, screenshots and anything else that proves you know your stuff. For WSO Domination I showed screenshots of my earnings from WSO&#8217;s and all of the traffic my WSO&#8217;s had received.</p>
<p><strong>Price:</strong></p>
<p>If you have done everything right the price should be a pleasant surprise, here you need to explain that the price of your product is worth every penny when you think of the problem it will solve and then provide your call to action. This is also a good time to mention there is no risk as you have a money back guarantee in place and it is in fact you who is taking all the risk by offering such a guarantee. How many times have you read &#8216;all the risk is on me&#8217;?</p>
<p><strong>P.S</strong>:</p>
<p>This is where you add more benefits about your product that you may have not mentioned up to now. I usually say something like &#8216;this is not your usual fluff filled eBook, this is a full on home study course&#8217; and that seems to work very well for me. I then usually mention the guarantee again.</p>
<p>This simple formula can be applied to almost any copywriting situation and this is something you will become better at the more you do it. If you want to learn more about writing copy I would recommend you check out the <a href="http://www.warriorforum.com/copywriting-forum/" target="_blank">Copywriting section of the Warrior Forum</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Fotolia_20087303_XS.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1466" title="Troubled with Questions" src="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Fotolia_20087303_XS.jpg" alt="" width="163" height="137" /></a>In the Internet Marketing world, when you are creating and selling your own products, sales pages are one of the most important parts of your business. They are the first thing prospects see when they are sent to your product by affiliates, yourself, Google or any other source. This means that if there are any problems with your page, these prospects will close the page before they even read the headline.</p>
<p>Think about it, your sales page reflects the quality of you product so would you invest your hard earned money in a product where the sales page has mistakes or looks amateurish? If a sales page looks bad this will reflect on the quality of the actual product?</p>
<p>This means that your sales page must look professional before you send anyone to visit it. However, for those of you out there who can’t afford to pay some HTML expert to build a page for you, you have to go away and build your own sales page.</p>
<p>You could go and download a cheap or free HTML editor then dive straight into creating a page but this is possibly the biggest mistake you could make. How can you build a page without the slightest idea how HTML coding works?</p>
<p>Some people out there may be able to build a respectable looking page simply by using the ‘Design’ view of a HTML editor, but will this page work online in all browsers? Some of the less professional editors out there are unable to edit the code accordingly as you edit the look of the page. This means that while it may look okay in the actual editor you use, once its online it may look totally different or simply not display at all. Also, just because it looks ok in Internet Explorer doesn&#8217;t mean it will display correctly in Firefox. (Something you should always test)</p>
<p>If you have been following me online for any amount of time, you will know that I have numerous coaching programs available. The amount of pages people have sent to me with messages along the lines of ‘There is a problem with the text displaying on my sales page’ or ‘My page looks okay until I put it online, then the font is all messed up’.</p>
<p>This is because they have dove headlong into creating a page without any basic knowledge of how HTML coding works. Luckily for these people they have me to turn to when things aren’t going according to plan, but, do you have anyone to turn to?</p>
<p>If the answer to that question is no and you are in the middle of creating a product online, my advice to you is to simply learn basic HTML coding before you create any sort of sales page. There is nothing more frustrating than having a problem which you haven’t the slightest idea what is causing it.</p>
<p>This could save you a lot of time and effort if you take the time out NOW to learn HTML basics, rather than trying to learn by taking the plunge straight into creating a sales page.</p>
<p>Learning basic HTML isn&#8217;t difficult and can be 100% free. <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/html/" target="_blank">Here&#8217;s an excellent free resource I found that will help</a>. You will also find tons of HTML tutorials on YouTube.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As an Internet Marketer I love creating Warrior Special Offers, (also known as <acronym title="Warrior Special Offer">WSO</acronym>&#8216;s) they are quite simply one of the fastest ways to make money online. However, listing a Warrior Special Offer does not guarantee success. Here are a few things you should do if you want to make your offer a success.</p>
<p><strong>1. Increase Your Post Count.</strong><br />
Increase your post count, by simply posting on the Warrior Forum, but be sure to give value by asking and answering questions and avoiding “me too” comments. It isn’t hard to genuinely increase your post count by simply browsing the forum, finding a thread that interests you and getting involved in the conversation. Above all GIVE VALUE!</p>
<p><strong>2. Use High Quality Graphics.</strong><br />
Using high quality graphics on your <acronym title="Warrior Special Offer">WSO</acronym> makes the whole thing look a lot more professional. Grainy, unclear and low quality images can really ruin the look of any <acronym title="Warrior Special Offer">WSO</acronym> and can make it look “cheap.” Also avoid using a white background on your images as the Warrior Forum is an off white color. Use a png format image or make sure your images have the hex code f5f5f5.</p>
<p><strong>3. Always Reply Quickly, Confidently and Positively to any Queries</strong>.<br />
When you receive questions about your <acronym title="Warrior Special Offer">WSO</acronym> make sure you answer quickly. Be confident in your responses and if you need to do some research before you answer any questions. If people don&#8217;t have confidence in your replies they wont have any confidence in your product.</p>
<p><strong>4. Consider Partnering up With Someone</strong>.<br />
“Two heads are better than one.” That phrase applies to most things, including a <acronym title="Warrior Special Offer">WSO</acronym>, as with any offer you if you can partner up with a fellow marketer then you could potentially double your sales. With two marketers comes, two mailing lists, two affiliates lists and two sets of skills and expertise. This would also be a good idea for someone with no <acronym title="Warrior Special Offer">WSO</acronym> experience, if you could partner up with someone who is familiar with launching <acronym title="Warrior Special Offer">WSO</acronym>’s then obviously that would be invaluable.</p>
<p><strong>5. Research <acronym title="Warrior Special Offer">WSO</acronym>’s Related to Your Product</strong>.<br />
When trying to create a successful <acronym title="Warrior Special Offer">WSO</acronym> surely the best thing to do would be to take a look at current successful <acronym title="Warrior Special Offer">WSO</acronym>’s related to your own to get ideas on how to make your own as good as it can be. Obviously don’t just go copying someone else’s <acronym title="Warrior Special Offer">WSO</acronym> but there is no harm in looking for ideas and tips on how to provide more value and make more sales. So check out the most successful <acronym title="Warrior Special Offer">WSO</acronym>&#8216;s and &#8216;model&#8217; them when you create your own.</p>
<p><strong>6. Create an Affiliates Page</strong>.<br />
Why do 99% of marketers who list <acronym title="Warrior Special Offer">WSO</acronym>&#8216;s not have a dedicated affiliates page? If you want to attract affiliates create a dedicated page and give them all the info they need about your product. The front end offer, sales flow, price, commissions, etc. Give them email copy, blog copy, graphics and anything else they may need to promote your <acronym title="Warrior Special Offer">WSO</acronym>. Most affiliates are lazy and you need to go out of your way to make sure they have everything they need. <a href="http://www.multiprofitmonthly.com/super_jv/" target="_blank">Here is an example of a successful affiliates page for one of my WSO&#8217;s</a>.</p>
<p><strong>7. Use an Attention Grabbing Title and Headline</strong>.<br />
This really does go without saying, an attention grabbing title and headline is a must for any Warrior Special Offer. This is the first thing that any potential customer will see when browsing the Warrior Forum and when viewing your <acronym title="Warrior Special Offer">WSO</acronym>, so it needs to be enticing enough to keep the visitor on the page and ultimately reading your sales copy.</p>
<p><strong>8. Show People Exactly What They Get</strong>.<br />
When selling any product it is vital that any potential customer knows exactly what it is they are going to be buying, otherwise they simply won’t buy it. You wouldn&#8217;t buy a house without having a good look round would you? You can do this by creating video tours, taking screen shots and explaining exactly what the product delivers. Not only can this increase conversions but it also keeps refund rates down</p>
<p><strong>9. Make The Offer a “No Brainer&#8221;</strong>.<br />
Make them an offer they cant refuse. You should always try to make sure you offer as much value for money as you can, If you have been browsing the Warrior Forum for any length of time you may have noticed that most <acronym title="Warrior Special Offer">WSO</acronym>’s are very, very low cost. After all they are called Warrior Special Offers. If you can make it so that your product offers huge value for money then rest assured that the sales will flood in. I have actually found $5 to be the magic price point and have sold many of my products that originally cost $97 for only $5 as a Warrior Special Offer. Now you may be thinking that by making your offer low cost that you will not make much money, well you’d be wrong, yes each initial sale with be low, but you will make a lot more total sales and there is always more money to be made with Upsells.</p>
<p><strong>10. Always Have Upsells/Downsells.</strong><br />
Now come on, anyone who has been in the Internet Marketing business for more than 5 minutes should know that if you haven’t got upsells and or downsells in your offer then you are simply throwing money away. I don’t want to go to much into how they work and why they are so important but just think of this. Anyone who buys your product, is in the buying mood, they are sitting there with credit card in hand, on your page, they obviously like what you sell or they wouldn&#8217;t have bought your first offer. So why not offer them something else some extra information, some more value? You would be crazy not to right? So make sure you have an upsell and or downsell in place, don’t throw money away. Also, having upsells in place attracts more affiliates as they know they can increase their commissions.</p>
