Viral PDF Reports List Building Secrets 15

Viral PDF Reports

The next tactic I want to talk about is using viral PDF reports.

So let’s say you write a little report that can be 2 to 5 pages long, as long as it’s rock solid content; it’s going to be for a free report anyway, and you create a PDF report out of it. Well, inside the PDF report, you want to say that this is free to distribute.

Also inside of your PDF report, you want to have a link at the end that leads to your squeeze page or an entire ad that leads to your squeeze page.

What I’ve found in the past is that other people started using my reports to build their lists with.

So they would actually give my reports away to their squeeze pages and I would generate those subscribers under my list, the ones who actually read the report and then clicked thru at the end.

The ones who read the reports and clicked through to the end and discovered you that way, end up being some of the highest quality leads you’ll get because they’ve just read one of your reports, and they clicked through at the end to get your freebie, and you’ve got them on your list.

If you’re not sure how to do this, you can go to OpenOffice online.

You can just type into Google, “OpenOffice” and download OpenOffice Writer.

You’re going to open up OpenOffice Writer and write your report.

It’s kind of like Microsoft Word.

Then you’re going to click “File” and export as a PDF.

Once you do that, you have a PDF that you can give away, and you have clickable links inside the PDF and that will become your viral report.

It’s a little different than rebrandable reports.

If you have your own affiliate program, you can give affiliates a way to give cool content to their list and to promote you at the same time by offering a viral brandable rewritable report.

This is a little bit different, a little more simplistic, and if you give enough of these reports away that are viral reports, you may see them circulating all over the place and generating leads from all over the internet.

Cross Promotions List Building Secrets 14

Integrated Cross-Promotions

The next way I want to talk about generating leads is using integrated cross-promotions.

I think Mark Joyner coined the term integrated marketing.

Well integrated cross-promotions are different kinds of cross promos that you have with your joint venture partners other than ad swaps, click banking, or anything like JV giveaways.

These are different because these are integrated into your marketing on autopilot, so you have
to think about the different parts of your marketing systems that you can integrate some kind of joint venture link to.

For example, on your download page, you might have a banner that leads to one of your JV partner’s squeeze pages and they have the same for you on their download page.

That would be an example of an integrated cross- promotion.

So instead of monetizing that part of your download page with an offer, what you’ll do is do an integrated cross-promotion with one of your joint venture partners.

Another way is to cross promote your joint venture partner in your follow up series.

So in your email follow up series, maybe your fifth email in the follow up series will promote their squeeze page and their fifth email in their follow up series will promote your squeeze page.

Another way is through P.S.’s of your emails that you send out.

So when you’re sending out an email to your list, you can make a deal with one of your joint venture partners to always promote their squeeze page in their P.S. and they have to do the same for you.
That’s one way to do it.

Think about the power of integrated cross-promotion.

You’re generating subscribers on autopilot by doing this.

You can add tons per day to your list or more, all on autopilot, by doing this a set of joint venture partners or with just one, but just think about this; let’s say you have 10 joint venture partners and you’re going to do integrated joint venture cross-promotions with your follow up series of emails.

Say all 10 of you in all 10 of your first follow up series emails, you all promote each other, well visitors would be flying all over the place and going onto your list if you do that.

Tell A Friend List Building Secrets 13

Tell-A-Friend Script

Another way to generate leads virally is by using a Tell-A-Friend script.

I think you have to be careful not to let others abuse your Tell-A-Friend script because they can go spamming the Internet with it, but I think the best practice for using a Tell-A-Friend script is to have one on your download page for your freebie that you just giveaway.

It will say, “I’ll give you this extra bonus if you tell 5 friends about this,” or “10 friends about this.”

So, there will be a little form that they fill out and they’ll type in five different email addresses, for example, of their friends and when they hit submit it will send out a message to all their friends from them, which tells them to go and check out your squeeze page basically.

It’s really good traffic because they’re endorsing you, in a way.

They are friends of friends recommending you to other friends to your site, which is better than running an ad on some site where no one knows you, no authority is being transferred to you, or not trust is being transferred to you.

So you may be able to get really good leads by doing so.

Mike Filsaime, has a Tell-A-Friend script and there are other ones out there on the market that you can search for in Google by searching for Tell-A-Friend script.

I have a feeling those will also be on the rise in the future.

Those are one of those tactics that were used a lot years ago and you don’t see them as much anymore, but I think that they will emerge again, especially when people start using them in a way that makes the person who’s sending out the Tell-A-Friend script use their own email server to mail out the Tell-A-Friend invitation, that way they can avoid spam troubles altogether.

But the worse way to use a Tell-A-Friend script is if you’re telling people to send out one of their affiliate links and they’re an affiliate for you because then they may spam your site a lot because they’re trying to make money.

They may get excited, they might be spammers, or they might just get a little too excited and start sending it out to everybody and everyone they can find, thinking they’re going to make a million dollars overnight.

Squeeze Page List Building Secrets 12

Nested Squeeze Page On Blog


Here’s a tactic for generating a lot of leads from a blog.

I actually built my first list of 1,000 subscribers this way in the guitar niche before I even got into the internet marketing niche.

It’s so easy.

You take a blog and maybe your blog is generating 100, 200, 300 visitors per day because you’re cranking content out on a daily basis.

Even if you don’t try to target certain keywords on your site, it’s pretty easy to start generating 200 to 300 visitors per day just by cranking out content and ranking it for long tail search terms without even trying to, and actually only doing it.

So what you do is, you take your squeeze page in your niche, and you nest it at the top and center of that blog.

So before they actually see the blog site at the top of the page, they should see your squeeze page as it is.

You can nest it up there using an image and an opt in box, if you want.

That’s if you don’t want the test of the squeeze page to interfere with any other on page SEO that’s happening.

You’ll be surprised at the opt-in rate you can get from that.

Let’s say your site isn’t really an interactive site as much as you want it to be; it’s really difficult to get a site with a lot of interactivity.

Maybe your site just has a lot of traffic coming to it and doesn’t really have people interacting, so it doesn’t really matter if you put your squeeze page up there or not.

One of the best ways to generate leads from a blog is to nest a squeeze page front and center.

Another way is by using Robert Plank’s WordPress Plug-Ins.

One is called Action Opt-In.

This is where you can put an opt-in bar on your side bar that you go opt-in to.

Once they opt-in to it, the form will disappear and say, “Thanks for subscribing,” and keep the people on the blog they’re on.

One is Action Pop-Up, which is a fade in window that fades into your site and asks for the opt-in there in exchange for a freebie or whatever you’re offering.

The other is Action Comments, which is where if someone comments on your blog, they check a check box and it automatically subscribes them to your list.

You can get all three, I believe, in one purchase from Robert Plank if you go to Actionoptin.com or search on Google for Action Opt-In and you’ll probably find it.

Reverse Opt In Form List Building Secrets 10

Reverse Opt-in Form

Another way to generate about 10% of your website traffic to your list on a sales page is using a reverse opt-in form.

This is where someone clicks on the “Add to Cart” button or an “Order Now” button and then you have a page between your sales page and your order form.

That page in between will be a Step 1 of 2 order confirmation form.

So at the top is will say, “Step 1 of 2 Order Confirmation,” then they’ll have to put in their email address to continue.

This is a Reverse Opt-in Page.

You want to grab the email address here so that everybody who buys your product, you already have then on your list.

Also, the people who chicken out on your product, you’ll have them on your list and they’re also very high quality subscribers to have on your list that almost buy; for some reason they are.

So you might find that the majority of people who actually opt in to that form won’t even order, but you’ll end up generating a lot more subscribers from your sales page by doing that.

So you can see how all these leads will add up if you’re promoting to a squeeze page or a sales page.
You will see how all these leads add up by promoting to a sales page by using all the factors we’re talking about here.

Because if you’re getting 22% opt in rates from doing exit pop ups and you’re getting 10% from doing reverse opt in forms, then you are generating an extra 33% of people to your subscriber list during a launch.

That’s something to think about because when you have all these affiliates hammering your page, a lot of their traffic might not want to buy the product that you have, but there will be people who buy products that you may be able to sell something else to later on as an affiliate or as your own product.

Affiliate Program List Building Secrets 8

Your Own Affiliate Program

Another way to generate red-hot quality leads is by having your own affiliate program.

Now I’m going to tell you that I’ve mainly generated leads through using Rapid Action Profits.

I know that a lot of people in recent days have moved on to other scripts, such as Warriorplus.com, WSO Pro or JVZoo.com or DigiResults.com, but I like trusty old Rapid Action Profits.

It may cost $197, whereas I bought it for something like $297.

It’s always being updated so it’s not out of date with technology or anything, but the reason why I like Rapid Action Profits over any other is two-fold.

For one, I only have to pay a fee one time to use it.
So I pay my $197 for the script and I use it over and over and over.

A lot of these other sites, you may not have an upfront fee, but they take out fees for every sale you make so you end up paying a lot more than you would pay with that one-time fee to RapidActionProfits.com.

Or there may be, like with WSO Pro, you have to pay a fee every time you want to start a WSO with.
I’d rather have a script like Rapid Action Profits so I can use it over and over and over.

This is just my personal opinion and preference.
Also, I think there is a lot of wisdom in what I’m about to tell you with Rapid Action Profits vs. the other solutions.

The other solutions are like affiliate networks, so when you’re recruiting affiliates to actually promote your product, they may end up promoting someone else’s product, but with Rapid Action Profits, you have complete control over the situation.

So once you show people your affiliate program, there’s only an option to promote you.

Therefore, whenever I launch a product on Rapid Action Products, the bottom of the screen I have a link that says, “Affiliates make 100% commissions.”
They click there and then they sign up for my affiliate program through Rapid Action Profits.

They can now get their link and they can then sell the product.

If I use the other programs, and I have a link at the bottom that says, “Sign up here to promote my product,” and then they go to some affiliate network, they’ll probably end up promoting some other product that they find.

They maybe will get lost trying in the sea of products trying to find mine; they give up and not promote any product at all.

The best kind of affiliate program that attracts affiliates is to have an instant PayPal commission affiliate program like the ones I’ve been talking about.

You can also use something like ClickBank, but you can’t give away 100% commissions from ClickBank.

With these other programs, you can give away 100% commissions, which is really attractive on the front end to affiliates, and then you can give 50% commission on the one-time offer, for example.

You’re making money off sales, but you are attracting affiliates that you don’t have to ethically bride much to promote for you.

If you’re giving away 100% commissions, in my mind, you’re not going to owe any other affiliates back for promoting you because you gave away 100% commissions.

Those leads that you get right away are going to be red-hot leads.
