<strong>No one else apart from my humble self is teaching Internet Marketers how to multiply the income they earn from IM. So&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>The only option available to Internet Marketers that want to learn how to multiply their income &#8211; is to become one of my students.  The only problem is that they&#8217;ll have to pay quite a bit of money to learn from me.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">What&#8217;s the next best thing&#8230; then, Oz?</span><br />
<br/></p>
<p><center><img src="http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/SeaSaw-LIP.png" alt="leveraged income profits" /></center><br />
<br/></p>
<p>Well&#8230; you could grab a copy of my Leveraged Income Profits (LIP) report&#8230; and it won&#8217;t even cost you a dime. But&#8230;</p>
<p>The thing is that my LIP report won&#8217;t be any good to you &#8211; if you don&#8217;t know how to generate income.  That&#8217;s the bad news.</p>
<p>The good news is that tomorrow Maria &amp; Tina will launch their Ultimate Social Challenge (USC). USC will teach you how to use Social Media skills to generate an income stream.  And then&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll send you a copy of LIP. </p>
<p><strong>LIP reveals a little-known strategy that you can use to achieve a 50% (or even higher) ROI on the income you earn from leveraging what you learn from USC.  You will learn how you can achieve these results in as little as a week&#8230; and how to use as little as $100 (or less) or as much as $10,000 (or more). </strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">This is Income Multiplication at it&#8217;s best.</span></p>
<p>You are 100% spot on. And this means that&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>USC + LIP = Income Generation + Income Multiplication</strong></p>
<p>And you&#8217;ll get two awesome products for the price of one.  All you have to do is&#8230;</p>
<ol>
<li>Watch out for my email tomorrow</li>
<li>Buy USC through my affiliate link.</li>
<li>Wait for me to send you a copy of LIP</li>
<li>Use the strategies that Maria &amp; Tina teach you to create an income stream</li>
<li>Apply the strategy in LIP and multiply the income you earn from USC.</li>
<li>Use LIP to multiply your profits from other income streams.</li>
<li>Tell Queen Maria that Oz is da DON. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Verdana">Have you ever had a conversation with somebody, and only a few hours later&hellip; a window of opportunity opens that could put a lot of money into your pocket opens up for you?</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Well, such a thing happened to me last night and this morning, and I wanna share this opportunity with you.</font></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><font color="#000080" face="Verdana" size="4"><strong>FROM QUICK CASH&hellip;</strong></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I know from personal experience how important it is for people to be able to generate cash flow quickly, especially in these difficult financial times.&nbsp; So I am always on the look out for Quick Cash flow opportunities.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Unfortunately, many so-called Quick Cash systems simply don&rsquo;t deliver on their promise, and that is why I haven&rsquo;t promoted any.</font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">Today, that changed.</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">For most of 2009, all I was really interested in was how I could earn a few hundred dollars as quickly as possible. Cash flow was my main (if not only) priority.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Maybe you are in that position now, and I hope that what I have for you will make a BIG difference to your situation. Because I am going to share sommink that would have made a MASSIVE difference to my wellbeing back in 2009, and I hope that it can do the same for you now.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">If you are in a hurry to find out what I am talking about, click the link below. However, I urge you to stay with me to the very end.</font></p>
<p><a href="http://addictivetext.com/blog/click/fb-autopilot/"><font face="Verdana">http://addictivetext.com/blog/click/fb-autopilot/</font></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><font color="#000080" face="Verdana" size="4"><strong>TO BIG BUCKS&hellip;</strong></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Today, my priorities have changed somewhat, and I am no longer looking for quick cash&hellip; although it&rsquo;s always nice to earn some quick dosh. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">My focus now is on building a large and sustainable income.</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">My chosen vehicle is the Stock Market, and I have made no secret of the fact that I intend to abandon IM in favour of Stock Trading.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">If you are an ANTler and have being attending the Master Classes, then you know that earlier this week I dissected the Stock Trading niche and how the Bermuda Triangle revealed some stupendously attractive keywords. You would also know that I am already ranking on Page 1 for one of my target keywords, and on Page 3 for two other keywords.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">And this where things start getting a bit weird.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I was having a chat last night with someone, and I mentioned my planned assault on the Stock Trading niche. Then an interesting discussion ensued&hellip;</font></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><img src="http://www.addictivetext.com/skypefb.jpg" /></font></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I don&rsquo;t need to be told that FaceBook cannot be ignored as a Traffic Generation course.&nbsp; In fact, I have bought lots of WSOs on FB.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The screenshot below is my WSO Purchase history over the last three months.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><img src="http://www.addictivetext.com/fbwsos.jpg" /></font></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><font color="#800000" face="Verdana">You&rsquo;ve bought way too many WSOs, Oz.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I know. It&rsquo;s all for research. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">I&rsquo;ve highlighted the ones that are FB products &ndash; 6 FB products in three months.</span></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">The sad thing is that I have NEVER even opened one of them. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">My excuse has always been that I am too busy.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">So if you are wondering why I haven&rsquo;t recommended any FB products &ndash; now you know why.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Anyway, after the skype chat I went to bed thinking about how I could get up to speed on FB and start using it for Traffic&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Then I woke up this morning, and my inbox was flooded with emails promoting an FB product&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I knew that most of the people claiming it was the best thing since sliced bread hadn&rsquo;t even bought the product, let alone gone through it.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">But remembering my chat last night about Stock Trading &amp; FB, I clicked through on one of the links. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Before I knew it &ndash; I had clicked the buy button, and I ended up buying the Upsell as well.</font></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><img src="http://www.addictivetext.com/fbsimplespencer.jpg" /></font></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">This time though, I did sommink different.&nbsp; I actually went through the course, because I was still pumped from the chat I had last night.</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">And here&rsquo;s&hellip;</font></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><font color="#000040" face="Verdana" size="4">A REAL REVIEW</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Like I said 90% of people promoting this product &ndash; did not buy it, let alone go through it. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  </font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">But that&rsquo;s not the way Oz rolls.</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I went through the main product and my initial reaction was:</font></p>
<blockquote>
<p><font face="Verdana">one trick pony i.e. one technique, one monetization strategy, one niche</font></p>
</blockquote>
<p><font face="Verdana">And I said as much to someone, and then she asked if I actually got the upsell.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I told her that I did, but didn&rsquo;t bother going through it because I was disappointed with the main product.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">She asked if I went through the bonus &ndash; and I said I didn&rsquo;t bother either.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">She strongly suggested that I go through both the bonus and the upsell, and since I value her judgement I did.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">And here&rsquo;s my verdict:</font></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">The bonus is awesome &ndash; it shows how to drive the traffic and get social proof.&nbsp; Lemme say that gain &ndash; I love the bonus.&nbsp; For me, it is soooo much better than the main product.</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The bonus talks about how to use Facebook the way it is intended to be used, and still<strong> INSTANTLY generate lots of traffic and leads on the cheap</strong>.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The upsell shows how you can apply the method in the main product even in situations where there isn&#39;t an appropiate CPA Offer.<br />
		</font></p>
</blockquote>
<p><font face="Verdana">The only problem is the monetization technique &ndash; CPA, which I&rsquo;m not into.&nbsp; CPA is just not my thing, and more so I&rsquo;m not a fan of the technique he suggests for getting approval.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">But after going through the bonus, I think I&rsquo;ll make the effort to figure out how to monetize the INSTANT traffic in other ways. And my initial thoughts are that this technique might actually work better for Forex (my other niche) than for Stock Trading.&nbsp; I have to give it some more thought, though.</font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">Personally, I think the bonus is the best part of the product.</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">So here&rsquo;s my suggestion:</font></p>
<blockquote>
<p><font face="Verdana">If you need some quick cash and are into CPA, and don&rsquo;t mind being a bit sneaky &#8211; then get the product and also get the upsell &ndash; so that you can figure out how to use this technique even when there are no suitable CPA offers.&nbsp; <strong>Make sure to go through the bonus &ndash; that&rsquo;s where the Traffic Generation is covered. </strong><br />
		</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">If you don&rsquo;t need cash quickly, but you want to know how to generate INSTANT traffic and use that traffic to build residual income then get the main product&hellip; <strong>go through the bonus&hellip; don&rsquo;t bother with the main product&hellip; and don&rsquo;t bother with the upsell.</strong></font></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">Is this a comprehensive course on how to make money off of FB? No. But for $10 I think you can make some pretty easy money &#8230; if CPA is your thing.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">And if you are willing to think outside the box &ndash; I think you can use the Traffic Generation approach presented in the bonus to build some nice residual income.</font></strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p><font face="Verdana">So, the ball is in your court&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">And can you see why I urged you to read everyfink before clicking the link?</font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">Click here for the WSO: <font size="2"><a href="http://addictivetext.com/blog/click/fb-autopilot/">http://addictivetext.com/blog/click/fb-autopilot/</a></font></font></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Have a fantabulous weekend,</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Oz.</font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">P.S. I&rsquo;m glad I had a look at the bonus because it completely reversed my opinion about the main product. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </font></strong></p>

<div><font face="Verdana"><strong>I want to share four tricks that I (with Google&rsquo;s able assistance) use to find hot &amp; profitable niches.</strong> <br />
		</font></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><font face="Verdana">I was really pissed off when Google changed their Google Adwords Tool for Keyword Research (</font><a href="http://addictivetext.com/blog/click/keywordtool/"><font color="#669966" face="Verdana">http://addictivetext.com/blog/click/keywordtool/</font></a><font face="Verdana">) and then completely removed access to the old interface.&nbsp; <strong>The new interface sucked&#8230; BIG TIME!</strong></font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">However, I have been pleasantly surprised to observe the constant improvements and updates that they&#39;ve been making to the new interface.&nbsp; <strong>In fact, I would actually say that the new interface in it&#39;s present form is superior to the old interface.</strong></font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">Here are four ways I use the new improved interface to refine my Niche Research&#8230;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">1. Only a week ago or so, Google introduced an &quot;Include terms&quot; and &quot;Exclude terms&quot; feature.</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">Normally when you&nbsp; do a search in the tool, Google brings up all kinds of suggestions.&nbsp; Some relevant, some not.</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">Let&#39;s say you do a search for <strong>&quot;cheap printers&quot;</strong>, only about 5 of the first 50 suggestions, actually contain the exact phrase <strong>&quot;cheap printers&quot;</strong>.</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">Try it and see.</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">To force Google to show you suggestions that contain the phrase you are searching for &#8211; just enter the phrase <strong>&ldquo;cheap printers&rdquo;</strong> (including the quotes) into the &quot;Include terms&quot; and click the <strong>+ </strong>button.&nbsp; After you click the button, Google will present new options &ndash; and this time all of them will include the exact phrase <strong>&ldquo;cheap printers&rdquo;</strong>.</font></div>
<p><font face="Verdana">Try it and see.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">2. Let&rsquo;s say in our initial search for <strong>&ldquo;cheap printers&rdquo;</strong> &ndash; we didn&rsquo;t want to see suggestions for <strong>ink</strong>.&nbsp; First go under Include Terms, and delete <strong>&ldquo;cheap printers&rdquo;</strong> by hovering over it and then clicking the <strong>X</strong>.&nbsp; And then enter <strong>ink </strong>without quotes into the &ldquo;Exclude terms&rdquo; box and click the <strong>+</strong> button.</font></p>
<div><font face="Verdana">Try it and see</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">3. Here&rsquo;s a trick I use to dig deep into a niche&hellip;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">Let&rsquo;s say I am interested in different types of cheap printers, I&rsquo;ll do a search for cheap printers, and then select the types of printers I&rsquo;m interested in, and then I&rsquo;ll click on <strong>More Like These</strong> (at the top) and then <strong>Selected</strong>.&nbsp; The tool will automatically add those keywords to my Search box, and return suggestions for them.</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><strong><font face="Verdana">I&rsquo;ve been doing this manually for a long time, but this feature now automates a very profitable but little known method</font></strong></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">Try it and see.</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">4. One of the things I missed the most from the old Interface was the separation of Related keywords from the Additional keywords to be considered section. In fact, it was one of the corner-stones of my Scientific Niche Research (SNR) method.&nbsp; Well&hellip; lo and behold, you can now achieve the same thing with the new interface.&nbsp; Here&rsquo;s how&hellip;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">Do your search&hellip; then click on <strong>Group by none</strong>, at the top, and then click on <strong>Similarity to search terms &ndash; </strong>BINGO!!! you now have a <strong>Keywords that include search terms</strong> section, and also a separate <strong>Related keywords</strong> section.&nbsp; That&rsquo;s exactly what I was missing from the old interface, although Google now uses slightly different terms for the two sections.</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">Try it and see.</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div align="center"><font face="Verdana">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">I was just thinking the other day &ndash; that Niche &amp; Keyword Research are really the only parts of Internet Marketing that I enjoy.&nbsp; That&rsquo;s because they are a lot like prospecting for stocks in the Stock Market.&nbsp; <strong>When you do them right &ndash; you make a killing.</strong></font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">Imagine if you had bought my good friend Google&hellip; back when it was $100 &ndash; many Gurus would have told you it was overpriced, but the very few that knew how to prospect &ndash; snapped up as many Google shares as they could lay their grubby hands on.</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">That&rsquo;s exactly what you can do &ndash; when you master Niche &amp; Keyword Research.&nbsp; <strong>I think it&rsquo;s a seriously undervalued skill.</strong></font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">Keep smiling (&amp; prospecting),</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;</font></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Verdana">BTW&hellip; if you missed the first two posts in this series, here they are&#8230;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">First Post: </font><a href="../click/20m-lesson/"><font face="Verdana">http://addictivetext.com/blog/click/20m-lesson/</font></a></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Second Post: <font size="2"><a href="../click/heres-20m-lesson/">http://addictivetext.com/blog/click/heres-20m-lesson/</a></font></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I am a happily married man and a devoted husband, so it gives me no pleasure to say what I am about to say, but this is sommink that I <strong>desperately</strong> need to get off my hairy chest&#8230;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">When I clicked through the Double Your Dating (DYD) website, I didn&rsquo;t have the slightest clue what I was letting myself in for.&nbsp; It was almost as if an animal that I didn&rsquo;t know existed leapt out from nowhere, and before I knew it, I was all but consumed by this raging beast. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Obviously, I survived, and I&rsquo;ll tell you the full story in a bit, but after I sent my email yesterday&hellip; </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>I realised that I forgot to mention that Jason Fladlien who is certainly one of the sharpest tools in the box has also veered away from the conventional long sales letter that is prevalent in Internet Marketing.&nbsp; In fact, I did a double-take when I saw his latest WSO (about PayPal).</strong></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">So a guru who earns more than $30 million a year, and a genius who earns well over a million dollars a year are both bucking the trend.</font></p>
<p><font color="#800000" face="Verdana">Hmm&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">That&rsquo;s what I thought, too.&nbsp; Anyway, back to my confession&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">When I visited the DYD site, not only did I read through at least 4 or 5 articles, <strong>I was also consumed by an irresistible urge to buy the DYD ebook.</strong></font></p>
<p><font color="#800000" face="Verdana">NO WAY!</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Yes way, and if you&rsquo;ll let me finish&hellip; I&rsquo;d like to put things into perspective for ya.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Before I visited the DYD website &ndash; my opinion of Eben Pagan was neutral at best. I knew him as a guru, and a member of the (evil) syndicate.&nbsp; So you could actually say that I was slightly prejudiced about him, based on uncorroborated stuff I had read.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">So nuffink&hellip; absolutely nuffink prepared me for what I was about to experience on the DYD website.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Remember, that I only visited the site to do some research, because I had heard that DYD has a rather unique approach to selling info products. And also remember that I am happily married, and certainly was not looking for any dates &ndash; single or double.</font></p>
<p><font color="#800000" face="Verdana">Are you sure about that, Oz? <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Will you just shut it?!</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">So I clicked on a random link in the website, read the article&hellip; hmm&hellip; I could feel sommink flickering in me&hellip; </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">So I clicked another link (to do more research)&hellip; and sommink was definitely coming alive&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">So I clicked through to the sales page&hellip; I watched the video, and half way through, I had to pause the video&hellip; take off my headphones, and take a long walk&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I had to have a very stern conversation wiv myself, and ask myself some probing questions:</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Oz, why were you smiling at Eben, just then?</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Oz, why were you nodding your head in agreement?</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Oz, why do you have a spring in your step?</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">And why do you have a twinkle in your eye?</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Oz, why do you feel like you can conquer the world?</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Oz, why do think that you are God&rsquo;s gift&hellip; to women?</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Oz&hellip; Oz&hellip; Oz&hellip; answer my questions!</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I eventually came back to my PC &ndash; finished watching the video, and&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">my mouse hovered over the buy button, and&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font color="#800000" face="Verdana">STOP RIGHT THERE!</font></p>
<p><strong><font color="#ff0000" face="Verdana">And I clicked the Buy Button&hellip;</font></strong></p>
<p><font color="#800000" face="Verdana">NO WAY!</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">but..</font></p>
<p><font color="#800000" face="Verdana">Thank the merciful Lord&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">There was a forced continuity there &ndash; which I couldn&rsquo;t opt out of.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">So, I clicked the back button.</font></strong></p>
<p><font color="#800000" face="Verdana">PHEW!!</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">And I read a few more articles, and felt as if I had just made a new best friend.&nbsp; His name is Eben.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">So that&rsquo;s my confession.&nbsp; I hope you didn&rsquo;t find it anti-climatic. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Seriously, though&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">As a happily married man, I found DYD very engaging, so I can&rsquo;t imagine how single and desperate men in the <strong>hunting</strong> phase of life will find it.</font></p>
<p><font color="#800000" face="Verdana">Irresistible, I&rsquo;d imagine &ndash; I know I would.</font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">Well, if I had been single, I almost certainly would have bought DYD&hellip; even though I was never the type to ask for dating advice. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">And here&rsquo;s why, I think I would have bought DYD&hellip;</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">Eben had reeled me in, he got me nodding my head in agreement with him, he sounded like he definitely knew what he was talking about, and he promised me there was even better stuff waiting for me&hellip; inside. Basically he had flirted with me, and&hellip;</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I wanted to know if he was the real thing, or if he was just full of sh*te, and&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The price ($19.95) is low enough to make it an impulsive buy.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">So even though I didn&rsquo;t need dating advice, Eben had intrigued me enuf that I would have been happy to risk $19.95 to see what he was all about.</font></p>
<p><font color="#800000" face="Verdana">LOL! You only wanted to buy because you were intrigued?&nbsp; Yeah right! </font></p>
<p><font color="#800000" face="Verdana">Gosh, couldn&rsquo;t you come up wiv somink better than that lame excuse?</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Well, that&rsquo;s my story, and I&rsquo;m sticking to it&hellip; <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">And that brings me to the other major lesson that I learnt from the DYD site&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>Eben came across as an expert! He did not sound like some marker trying to make a quick buck.&nbsp; And I think that surprised me, because that&rsquo;s exactly how many of the so called gurus come across.</strong></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Some of the commenters touched on this in the first post in this series. They also shared their own lessons &ndash; many of which I completely get, and I think it is the combination of all the mentioned factors that makes DYD so successful.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">If you don&rsquo;t mind, I&rsquo;d like to quickly go through some of the comments and lessons, starting with the ones I&rsquo;ve already mentioned (yesterday and today):</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">1. DYD is not like your typical sales page, and on reflection I&rsquo;m a bit surprised considering the niche it&rsquo;s in.&nbsp; I would have thought that hype would work very well in the dating niche.&nbsp; If this was something like Personal Development, or Careers Advice, or Loan Refinancing &ndash; I might have been less surprised at the approach he used.&nbsp; Obviously, Eben knows sommink that I don&rsquo;t know. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">Does your offering/website stand out from the crowd?</font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">2. Eben came across as an expert (to me), and was completely credible. </font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">Do you possess expert knowledge in your niche? Are you able to demonstrate your expertise to prospects?</font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">3. The price point of $19.95 makes the purchase almost an impulse buy.&nbsp; I wouldn&rsquo;t be surprised if he has a very high conversion rate with targeted traffic. </font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">Do you have a front-end offer that is priced so attractively &ndash; that there is almost no friction involved in making a buying decision from a prospect&rsquo;s point of view?</font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">4. Ruth &amp; Howard both said that he addresses a need/want/desire (&ldquo;how can I attract a woman&rdquo;). </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><em>Spot on.</em> <em>Is your offer a me-too offer, or does it address a real need?</em></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">5. Like me, Steve (also happily married and dating) felt compelled to opt-in, but like me, he was able to resist. GOOD MAN!! Steve also said that the video squeeze page drew him in. </font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">Do you have a message that is so compelling that even those who aren&rsquo;t your target market are drawn in?</font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">6. Tygrupe said that the promotional videos lend Eben immediate credibility and brand him as an expert.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">That word again &ndash; expert!</font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">7. John hits on a truck-load of lessons &ndash; building trust, proving our qualification to advise, and highlighting what we can do for our prospects &ndash; the good old WIIFM.&nbsp; Eben&rsquo;s message was sooo unambiguous that John who has been happily married for 44 years almost opted in!&nbsp; Phew! Now I don&rsquo;t feel so bad.</font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">Does your website build so much trust that even the most unlikely people momentarily forget themselves, or force themselves to take long walks? <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">8. Kenny says different elements of the DYD website combine to make it compelling and irresistible. </font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">Are you striving to have one core product offering that is so irresistible that prospects feel compelled to take action and enter your funnel?&nbsp; Or are you spending your time and energy launching product after product &ndash; without really investing in stability?&nbsp; How long has DYD being around?&nbsp; Same thing with Jeff Walker (though a different business model from DYD) &ndash; how many products does he have?</font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">9. Sherry hits on a big one &ndash; Eben knows his target audience intimately.&nbsp; Did I say big?&nbsp; Make that MASSIVE!&nbsp; And it is also a HUGE takeaway for me.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">Knowing and understanding your audience lets you relate to them and hit the hot spots very effectively.&nbsp; That is exactly what Mr. Pagan has done, and that is why so many people have commented that his offering is irresistible. It certainly did not happen by accident. He got to know his audience because instead of launching product after product he invested time and energy in one product.</font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">10. Mike says that Eben used stories that ooze empathy &ndash; as if he has walked the same miles, felt the same pain, and made the same mistakes as the prospect. Mike ends with: SUBTLE, SIMPLE, SUBLIME! I completely agree!</font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">Eben was able to achieve this by studying his target audience intimately, like Sherry said.&nbsp; That&rsquo;s why I said it&rsquo;s a MASSIVE lesson for me.&nbsp; Imagine having 10-15 articles on your website, and instead of them being generic articles for SEO purposes, you use every single one of them to repeatedly hit your audience&rsquo;s hot spots. </font></em></p>
<p><strong><em><font face="Verdana">That my friend is power!</font></em></strong></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">11. Chris is another who was tempted to opt-in. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">I wonder how many people did opt-in?&nbsp; </font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">Funny enough, soon after I made my post, a very savvy marketer skyped me and said that he hoped I used an affiliate link, because he was sure that many people would be opting-in and buying. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> &nbsp; And that is why I went back to the post to make the point that I wasn&rsquo;t using affiliate links.</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">12. Leif, like Mike learnt the lesson of empathy from the DYD website.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">As they say people buy from people they know, like and trust.&nbsp; When you are able to empathize with your audience &ndash; you achieve all three (know, like, trust) in one fell swoop. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">13. Rampage says there is no buy button on the DYD site.</font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">There is a buy button, but the point is that the selling is sooo subtle and unobtrusive that by the time you get to (or accidentally find) the buy button you are almost in a trance; and clicking the buy button becomes <strong>an essential part</strong> of continuing the story of empathy. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">14. Nicholas also mentions the absence of a hard sell.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">We in the IM industry have been brainwashed into hard-selling.&nbsp; Bright red headlines, hypey graphics etc. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> &nbsp; Why didn&rsquo;t anyone tell me that you don&rsquo;t need all that to gross $20 million a year??</font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">15. Mary touches on the emotional and sensory appeals that dominate the DYD site.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">Part of the softer side of things that all contribute to draw us in.</font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">16. Mike says that rather than selling sommink, the DYD site fills a need, and that people with that need will be attracted to the message.&nbsp; From the look of things, it&rsquo;s not just people with the need that are attracted to DYD. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Mike also mentioned that the DYD site is brilliant at whetting our appetite, and he quotes a wikid saying about a bikini from a famous mathematician: &ldquo;what it reveals is suggestive but what it hides is vital&rdquo;.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">What is it with mathematicians and bikinis? LOL! I happen to agree completely with Mike. Like I said, Eben &lsquo;flirted with me&rsquo;.</font></em></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">Do you think &lsquo;flirting&rsquo; instead of selling could add to the bottom line of your business?</font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">17. Many people talked about the clean and uncluttered nature of the DYD site?&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">Again&hellip; another departure from the norm.&nbsp; Only a few hours ago &ndash; I clicked through to another dating website that was used as proof of rankings for an SEO product, and the difference between that and DYD website is like night and day.&nbsp; Seriously!&nbsp; </font></em></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">What impression does your website give about your business?&nbsp; What impression do you want your website to give about your business?</font></em></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana"><strong>xxx Unfortunately, some of the comments (many of them very insightful) were filed under Spam, and I didn&rsquo;t realise that till after I had made this final post, so all the missed comments are featured below&hellip;</strong></font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">18. Movers says the useful info and appealing images keep visitors glued to the site&hellip; and eventually they&rsquo;ll sign anyfink. LOL!</font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">Very interesting &ndash; because the longer people stay on a site &ndash; the more likely they are to take the desired course of action. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">19. Don says like you end up buying without knowing. LOL &ndash; pretty much what I said: that by the time you get to the buy button you are almost in a trance. LOL again.&nbsp; Don also says that he uses Commission Junction and seems to suggest that he pays a 100% commission or at least a very high commission for the front end commission and then he keeps all the back end profit for himself.</font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">What kinda online hypnotist can put you in a trance and make you buy without knowing?&nbsp; I think I can do with some of that. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></em></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">It has never ceased to amaze me how motivating a 100% commission is.&nbsp; I stated in my RAMOS report that from an affiliate&rsquo;s perspective a 100% commission is not really as great as it sounds compared to life-time commissions, but one thing I am learning in this business &ndash; is that sometimes you should just give punters what they want even if it&rsquo;s NOT in their best interest.</font></em></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">And while most of us use CB (ClickBank) for info products, Mr Pagan is using CJ (Commission Junction) which is primarily used for physical products. Hmm&hellip; did anyone ever say this dude goes against the grain? LOL!</font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">20. Frank and many others talked about the impact of the graphics.&nbsp; Funny the graphics didn&rsquo;t have any impact on me.&nbsp; I guess I&rsquo;m more of a textual person, and that is what got me &ndash; BIG TIME!&nbsp; He also said sommink very interesting: Eben allows prospects come to the conclusion they want to believe instead of him (Eben) telling them what to believe.</font></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">So, Eben has seemingly catered to all modalities &ndash; not just text, video and audio; but images as well.&nbsp; Who said he&rsquo;s a smart cookie?</font></em></p>
<p><em><font face="Verdana">A smart copywriting is not precise like programming, and sometimes it&rsquo;s much better to let your audience come to their own conclusion, instead of telling them exactly what you mean.&nbsp; Seems like Mr. Pagan agrees. Hmm&hellip;</font></em></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">21. Brock just knocks the ball out of the park with, what I&rsquo;m afraid is, my favourite comment. </font><font face="Verdana">Here&rsquo;s just a summary which doesn&rsquo;t do it justice&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Two deliberate actions before the offer is seen? Very low price point? Trust and familiarity of the interface, Start-&gt;Delivery-&gt;Finish mind map, two stage commitment, don&#39;t make me think-&gt;capture email address even if visitor abandons shopping cart, use of $19.97, which Amazon tell us is magic number.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><em>So where do I start? Brock hits on one of the things I picked up on like the low price (which I&rsquo;ve already mentioned); and then requirement of two deliberate actions, and &lsquo;don&rsquo;t make me think&rsquo; (both of which I noticed but haven&rsquo;t explicitly mentioned), but brings up several more that I never even thought of.&nbsp; </em></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><em>WOW &ndash; I&rsquo;ll be studying Brock&rsquo;s contribution in more detail, and so should you, I believe: <a href="../click/brock-comments/">http://addictivetext.com/blog/click/brock-comments/</a></em></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">22. <strong>Now get this&hellip; even Susanne who is a middle aged non-lesbian woman had her appetite whetted by the DYD site!!!&nbsp; </strong></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Susanne also insightfully noted that instead of just using the articles as filler content, Eben has used them as sales letters to tell stories and build authority.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><em>Another comment I recommend you read: </em><a href="../click/susan-comments/"><em>http://addictivetext.com/blog/click/susan-comments/</em></a><em> and notice my very sad reaction to Susanne&#39;s revelation. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><em><strong>If the fact that Susanne was hooked by the &lsquo;flirtatious&rsquo; nature of the DYD website doesn&rsquo;t make you sit up and take notice of what Eben is doing &ndash; then nuffink will.</strong></em></font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Verdana">Have you read the latest comments on yesterday&rsquo;s post? If not&hellip; you can do so by clicking the link below:</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><a href="../click/20m-lesson/">http://addictivetext.com/blog/click/20m-lesson/</a></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Anyway, the $20 million lesson that I learnt from the Double Your Dating (DYD) website is how different DYD is from your regular info product websites. In fact, if I didn&rsquo;t already know&hellip; I would never have guessed that DYD is run by an Internet Marketer. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Most of the info product websites that I have come across, consist almost entirely of a sales page or a (opt-in or leave) squeeze page.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>Personally, I don&rsquo;t think Eben got to where he is today by being a laggard.&nbsp; If anything, I have him down as a visionary.&nbsp; </strong></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">When scores of so-called gurus are still using the long sales letter or squeeze page as the entry point to their sales funnel, Eben is using an engaging and information-laden (someone called it an authority) website.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The other thing is that some people commented that Eben doesn&rsquo;t have a sales page/buy button on the DYD website.&nbsp; That&rsquo;s not true.&nbsp; He does have a sales page, but it just isn&rsquo;t in your face.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Here&rsquo;s the sales page: <a href="../click/dyd-ebook/">http://addictivetext.com/blog/click/dyd-ebook/</a></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">And the catalog is here: <a href="../click/dyd-catalog/">http://addictivetext.com/blog/click/dyd-catalog/</a></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>BTW&hellip; Neither the link in yesterday&rsquo;s post nor the two above are affiliate links.&nbsp; So, if you do end up signing up or buying anything from DYD &ndash; you are on your own. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  </strong></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I am just providing the links &ndash; so that you can see if there are any lessons that you can learn from a $20+ million per year website.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The question I want to ask you is this&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>Are you following the crowd, or are you following a leader/visionary, or are you a leader/visionary yourself?</strong></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Personally, I certainly can&rsquo;t claim to be a leader, but even before I came across the DYD site &ndash; I had already decided that I was going to do things differently from what everyone else is doing.&nbsp; So seeing a $20 million business that doesn&rsquo;t conform with the norm was very encouraging to me. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Anyway, enuf for today.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">There&rsquo;s quite a bit more to discuss about DYD, so in my next post I&rsquo;ll address the lessons learnt by other people, <strong>PLUS I have a wee confession to make.</strong> <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Verdana">Did ya know that Eben Pagan is currently doing a Pre-Launch for one of his IM products?</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>But don&rsquo;t get your knickers in a twist, &lsquo;cos I&rsquo;m NOT about to promote any Guru Launch. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">What I&rsquo;m about to tell ya, though&hellip; is that Eben earns $20 million a year from just his DoubleYourDating (DYD) site.</font></p>
<p><font color="#800000" face="Verdana">Hmm&hellip; and how exactly did you work out that he earns that much?</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Well&hellip; that&rsquo;s what he claimed in the first Pre-launch video.&nbsp; Would you rather I said he earns $2 million every year?</font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">Anyway, I learnt a MASSIVE MARKETING lesson worth every bit of that $<strike>20</strike> 2 million from navigating the DYD site, and I wonder if you&rsquo;ll find the site as revealing as I did.&nbsp; </font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">So why don&rsquo;t you head over there &ndash; spend 5-10 minutes or so navigating it, and come back and tell me what <strong>marketing</strong> lesson(s) you learnt.&nbsp; And tomorrow, I&rsquo;ll tell you what the $<strike>20</strike> 2 million <strong>marketing </strong>lesson that I learnt is.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Do we have us a deal?</font></p>
<p><font color="#800000" face="Verdana">Sounds like a fair deal to me.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">You da man! And me da wizard. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Verdana">Hi,</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">In the screenshot below, I show the stats for some affiliate promotions I did on the DigiResults platform. For the stats in red, my list size was much bigger than 5,000, but let’s use 5,000 for the discussion and calculation of CTR.&#160; If we use the actual list size &#8211; the CTR numbers will be smaller than those shown..</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The first row green is for the first promotion I did after I <strong>BURIED </strong>List Building, and the second row in green is for the upsell, hence the 0 clicks.&#160; I didn’t use the conventional List Building approach, and there were only 500 subscribers at the time.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><img src="http://www.addictivetext.com/listblg-digi.gif" /></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">&#160;</font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">As you can see from above, my EPC almost doubled from an average of&#160; $1.71 to $3.21, while the CTR was almost 7X bigger – 17% vs 95%.</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>Whilst, my stats from using conventional List Building were well above average, it pains me to think how much better I could have done had I ignored everything that the Gurus teach about List Building. <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The next screenshot shows stats for another promotion I did quite a while back on the WSOPro platform soon after I <strong>BURIED </strong>List Building.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><img src="http://www.addictivetext.com/listblg-wsopro2.gif" /></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">&#160;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The average stats for conversions and EPC are at the top – 14% and $1.40.&#160; As you can see the stats for sms (me) are by far the highest.&#160; In fact, I’m pretty positive that if my stats are removed from the calculation for the averages – the average stats would be between 10% &amp; 12% for conversions, and between $1.00 &amp; $1.20 for EPC.</font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Verdana">By ditching conventional List building, I was able to achieve stats that were in the ball park of 3X the average.</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>The other thing to note is that even though I probably had one of the SMALLEST list of all the affiliates, only one person sold more units than me. So in terms of number of units sold, I was No. 2.&#160; </strong></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>In other words, I outsold affiliates who had much bigger lists than myself.&#160; The key difference is that I had BURIED List Building, while they hadn’t. </strong> <img src='http://addictivetext.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Can you see why List Building is dead (for me, at least), and why I had no hesitation to <strong>BURY</strong> it?</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Keep smiling,</font></p>
