Affiliate List Cross Promotions List Building Secrets 16

Affiliate List Cross-Promotions

The last thing I want to tell you about list building is using affiliate list cross-promotions.

This is very simple.

Let’s say you have your own offer on Rapid Action Profits and you’ve built an affiliate list, which is just a list of affiliates who promote your profits.

Well, what you do is you go to other product owners who have affiliate lists and you say, “I will tell my affiliate list about your affiliate program if you do the same for yours.”

You might pick up some really good affiliates like that.

They might pick up a few and once you pick up affiliates, that means more traffic heading into your paid offer, which means more people on your list of high quality.

This is one of those tactics that kind of make you want to slap yourself in the head.

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.

Buying Space List Building Secrets 11

Buying Ad Space Direct From Webmasters

The next tactic I want to talk about is buying ad space directly from webmasters.

This can be done as easily as going to different webmasters who have, say forums in your market, and asking how much it would cost to run an ad on the top of their page.

First of all you’re going to them and ask, “How much is your AdSense ad making you on a daily basis?

Chances are you’re going to have more money to spend than they’re making on this ad from AdSense.

So say they say, “Well I’m generating 200 people to my site every day, but I’m only making $3.00 in AdSense per day.”

Well, if you had an ad that has a 10% click thru rate, then you can generate those people to your page for the same amount of money or more, so tell them that you want to take a test run on their page by advertising their ad in place of their Google ad.

You can pay them by PayPal and with a deal like this, “Will you run this ad one day and we’ll see how much money I make,” and you’ll give them $5 instead of the $3.00 he makes from AdSense, for example.

Then you see what happens when you run your ad on their site for that day and see how many opt ins you get, how much in sales in commissions you make from your sales funnel, and this will determine whether it’s profitable or not.

If it’s profitable then you can say, “Well I would like to rent that ad space from you on a monthly basis, for the rest of this month for x amount of dollars,” or whatever is equivalent to $5.00 a day, or whatever you’re testing.

If you go to some real busy forum, for example, and you do the same thing – and if we're talking about bigger numbers here, maybe you will do a $50 test run for one day.

You measure the results and see what happens and if it works out well, then what you need to do is just tell them that you want to run an ad that month for x amount of dollars.

And that’s traffic you don’t have to touch.

That’s just autopilot traffic hitting your page.

You can run it on a weekly basis or anything that you can afford, but the point is these webmasters want to make more money on their sites because they’re probably not making as much as you can give them using the advertising that they’re running.

They’re making piss poor profits from AdSense, for example.

Actually, in the internet marketing space, WarriorForum.com has an option to run an ad at the top of the forum for $100 a day, and they run something like eight different spaces on there a day and yours would rotate with eight different advertisers.

That’s a good way to test something in the internet marketing niche.

If you want to test an ad out and see how internet marketers would respond before you go and promote something on internet marketing, then use the tactic of contacting vendors and webmasters directly and you could run a $100 ad and see what happens.

Chances are you could get at least $100 clicks of traffic, or you may get 50 to 100 opt-ins.
You may get one sale at $100 that makes you break even.

You never know.

You never know until you try, but what I like about this media buying approach is that it’s very easy traffic that you don’t have to work toward, you just have to monitor your metrics.

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.

Exit Pop Ups List Building Secrets 9

Exit Popups

Another way to add about 10% opt-in rate to any website you have is by adding an exit pop up script.

You’ve probably seen these and they’re pretty annoying.

You can get one at exitsplash.com.

What it will be is when someone tries to leave the
page, a pop up will come up that says, “Here's a
 quick chance to get this freebie,” or whatever ad
you want there.

This can add 10% more opt-in rate to your page or to any website you send traffic to.

Actually, depending on how aggressive you want to be, you can have multiple exit pop ups that lead to different squeeze pages.

What I’ve noticed is in the past, doing a very aggressive launch with a marketer and bartering leads, what I’ve decided to do with him because he wanted to go balls-to-the-wall, I decided that it would probably be most profitable to do a squeeze page for one offer that pops up once.

If they don’t take that offer, have a squeeze page that pops up for another offer.

If they don’t take that offer then another squeeze will pop up for another offer.

So it will be three squeeze pages popping up in a row for different offers.

You will be surprised at how many leads that added onto the product launchers list.

Just think about this, the first squeeze page pops up and they get 10% opt-in rate on that; they’ve
 just got 10% of the traffic to sign up on their list.

But if they don’t take that, and another one pops up and they get 7% on that, well that’s an extra 7% tacked on.

If they don’t take that one though, and they see the third squeeze page up, then maybe 5% tops into that list and all together you’ve got what, 22% of the people getting on your sales page or site opting into your list.

That’s almost as good as a decent converting squeeze page.

I’ll take 22% from a lot of different ad sources depending on the source.

But I will tell you this, that I believe exit pop ups are getting less effective over time because they’ve been used so much.

It's similar to “ad blindness.”

What will likely happen is that people will stop using exit pop ups and then wait a little while and then they will start using them again and they will be just as effective as they were before.

That’s my prediction and that happens to a lot of things where trends and tactics come and go.


Tactics will be working well, then they stop working as well as they are and everyone stops using them and then someone starts using them again and talking about how profitable it is to use it and then everyone all of a sudden is using it again.

List Building Secrets 5

Free WSOs

Now let’s get into another method, which is something I’ve been doing since 2008 or so, which is running free WSO’s.

I'm talking about freebies that I give away on the Warrior Forum, which is WarriorForum.com and WSO stands for Warrior Special Offers.

So I will give away products on the Warrior Special Offers forum in exchange for opt-ins.

One thing that I’ve noticed between the Warrior Forum and the leads you may get from ad swaps, click banking, and solo ads is that Warrior Forum traffic is used to buying lower priced products.

So your funnel may be a lot different for free WSO’s than it will be with ad swaps, click banking, or solo ads.

For one of my funnels they get a freebie on the squeeze page, then the OTO after that is a $10 offer, then the OTO after that is another $10 offer.

So you can see I’m keeping it at $10 or less because I know they buy $10 or less things, whereas with ad swaps, click banking, and solo ads I’ll have a freebie, a $9 offer, then to a $97 OTO and then it will go up from there.

Good luck trying to sell a $97 to Warrior Forum members because it’s not going to happen, unless you have a done-for-you service or something that’s worth 25x $97 price points.

It’s just a different world there, but the good thing about running free WSO’s is that’s a business in itself, if you want it to be because you can run free WSO’s and then you can promote WSO’s as an affiliate to promote programs like offers through WSO Pro, which is at WarriorPlus.com or JVzoo.com or DigiResults.com.

So you know how I was talking about in one of the other sections how you can make a business just by focusing on one thing?

Well this is a business for you too.

Think about this.

This is all you need to do is to run free WSO’s.

You can have six or seven free WSO’s for six or seven different freebies that you create and you can rotate those once a day so that you’re launching a new WSO a day, but it’s giving away one of your six or seven freebies.

You can generate your list like that and your sales funnel will get you close to breaking even or making a profit right away on the front end, then on the backend you can promote WSO’s as an affiliate to your list you've built.

I’ve been known to have multiple free WSO’s that I rotate on a daily basis and I’ve done that model before.

You see... I get bored with certain things in marketing and then I try different models.

I just simplify things and just go at them with a very narrow focus.

Right now I might be buying a lot of solo ads and doing what I described in the Solo Ads section, but just months ago, I was buying a lot of free WSO’s and trying to get as many leads as I could with that and just promoting WSO’s every day and making plenty of money; making up to $300-$400 a day just from promoting WSO’s as an affiliate.

So once you get that narrow focus and simplify everything, everything becomes clear and you can make a lot of money just focusing on that.

Clickbanking List Building Secrets 4

Click Banking

There’s also another thing I would want to do if I didn’t have any money and I had a small list.

This goes out to the small list owners, people who are just starting their lists and what not.

If you have a list of 100 people or 1,000 people, you could start doing what’s called click banking.

It has nothing to do with ClickBank.com but what it is, is you go to a marketer with a huge list and you say, “I will send you 100 clicks or 1,000 clicks over the course of this month (clicks mean visitors) and what you will do is return those clicks all at once after I’m done.”

So what happens is the big marketer with a big list will give you a tracking link to use on all your emails.

You’ll work hard to build up your traffic to them through that link, and then when you’re ready to cash in your clicks you go to them and say, “I’d like to cash in my clicks,” and then they send you clicks; they send you as many as you have sent them.

This is real similar to ad swaps, as you can see, but it works out well for small list owners because you can just focus on sending traffic to one big marketer without having to set up all kinds of ad swap deals.

For example, if you have an email follow up series, the first couple of days of your email follow up series could be sending the new people on your list to another marketer who you are click banking with.

Now this isn’t the greatest advice for product creators.

I don’t think that ad swaps or click banking is a great idea for product creators because if you’re a product creator, then you can have so much longevity on your own list by just promoting your own products.

If you’re a product creator, you might want to just focus on paid methods and getting affiliates to promote your stuff, but that’s just my opinion and that’s what I’ve seen from experience.

As an affiliate marketer, who doesn’t have a ton of products to promote to the list all month, who doesn’t crank out many products, it’s all about fresh lead flow, like I was saying in the beginning of this report.

Things like ad swaps and click banking are the mother load of free, fresh lead flow.

 

Ad Swaps List Building Secrets 3

Ad Swaps

So let’s move on to ad swaps. Ad swaps are

 where  you send out an ad to your list promoting

 someone else’s squeeze page and then someone

 else does the same for you to their list. So it’s

 similar to solo ads except for no one is buying

 anything; you’re just trading off ads.

  The place where everybody has moved to these

 days is called safe-swaps.com.

There used to be a site called IMadswaps.com, which

 was like an ad swap forums. There are other forums

that kind of emerged in the last few years and

 they’ve pretty much slowed down because of

 safe-swaps.com.

The thing about ad swaps is that it is getting less

 effective because seeing that it emerged around

2009, around the time Listbuilding Accelerator 1

 came out, that’s when everyone was discovering ad

 swaps and starting to do it. Now people are

over-mailing their lists with ad swaps.

They’re doing way more ad swaps so they’re getting

 less responses from the subscribers.

  Retention rates are going down, click thru rates are

 going down, but if you still want to generate

hundred’s of leads per day, you still can do that.

  The key to profiting from ad swaps is the same key

to profiting with solo ads, which is your sales funnel.

  So if you’ve got a good sales funnel, you can use it

 for your ad swaps.

  Also, ad swaps are a great way totest your sales

 funnel before you start buying something like solo

 ads.

  You’re probably going to get less quality leads from

 ad swaps than you are solo ads, yet it’s still a good

 indication of whether your sales funnel will convert

traffic into sales, and that’s what’s necessary to profit

 with ad swaps, because you’re not promoting

 anything that’s going to be making money directly to

 your list; you’re promoting someone else’s squeeze

page, so you’re relying on the traffic coming from the

 JV partner’s list to your sales funnel. I’ve, in the

past, made up to $5,000 a month just with ad

swapping, so it’s something to think about.

  Depending on your sales funnel, you can do ad

swaps every single day if you want to, become the

 master of ad swaps and just tweak your sales funnel

 and have very good business there.

  You don’t want to overcomplicate marketing.

This kind of thinking is really profitable if you could

get super focused.

  Think about how simple this business is right here.

  You put together a sales funnel.

  You do ad swaps every day. You test your sales

funnel every day until you’re converting the

maximum amount of visitors who land on your

page.

## That in itself is a business no matter what anyone

 says.

  So that’s what I try to do in my business..SIMPLIFY.

I have a daily routine that I try to simplify down

 more and more every day until that is just brain

 dead stupid, and lately, it has been solo ads because

 I’ve found that I’m getting the best returns on solo

ads.

  But if I didn’t have any money, I would start off

 with JV giveaways just to generate 100 subscribers

or so, then I would move to safe-swaps.com and I

would start ad swapping.

That’s what I would do if I didn’t have any money.

List Building Secret 1

In my business we aim for 300 or more new

 subscriber per day, so I might be 300 to 500 a day

 on average. That’s 300 to 500 leads. For you, I

 would start to aim for something like 250

subscribers per day. You might be thinking that’s a

 lot of subscribers, or it’s going to be too expensive.

  Well there are great paid lead sources, there are

 also very good free ones that you can use to build

 up your list to generate 350 or more subscribers per

 day. Once you hit 250 subscribers per day or more,

 then it’s all a matter of focusing on converting them

and then just doing the list building stuff you’re doing

 over and over and over and getting the same results

 all the time. Converting them is another thing and

this post isn’t going to be anything at all about

converting leads into sales, it’s all about generating

 lead flow. As I was telling you, I can’t stress this

 enough that the bulk of your money that you make

is going to come from the people that are the newest

 on your list.

THE FRESHEST.

The older a lead gets, the less responsive they

 become, generally, especially if you’re an affiliate.

  Now if you’re a product creator and you do classes

and such, you may find that some of your older

subscribers are the most profitable subscribers you

 have because they’re your own customers who

enroll in all of your classes, all of your $1,000 classes

  As an affiliate, it’s different; you don’t have that

 retention.

See when you’re a product creator, it’s easier to keep

 the retention of your list,for some reason.

  I’ve found this to be true and that’s

 one of the reasons why I’m starting to create more

 and more products now, although over the years

 I’ve been mainly just an affiliate. If you are just an

 affiliate, again, your normal focus should be fresh

leads and keeping your leads coming in on a daily

 basis. That’s at least 250 leads a day. If you’re a

 product creator, you may not need as high of a lead

 flow, but why not do both? Why not be a creator

that keeps retouching the list and also generate 250

 subscribers or more to your list? Let’s go ahead and

 get into this because I have tons and tons of list

 building methods and strategies to cover for you

 now. Public and Private JV Giveaways The first one is

  JV giveaways these haven’t changed much

 as far as public JV giveaways go. You can go to

 newjvgiveaways.com anytime you want and jump in

 on any JV giveaways. But what has surfaced since

2011 is something called the private giveaway. There

 are a lot of little private giveaways taking place that

 you can be part of all over the internet. You can go

to people who are just as big as you are online, and

even bigger, and start a private JV giveaway with

them. What I mean is you can get 5 to 10 or more

 people in on a private giveaway, where no one else

can join and be a contributor. This means that the

people who are on there, who are contributors, are

 responsible for generating all the traffic to the

giveaway and there is a WordPress plug-in that you

 can use to host your own private giveaways called

 WP Venture. So go do a search on Google for WP

Venture and it’s being sold on the Warrior Forum for

 chump change, as a Warrior Special Offer.


  A giveaway is where a group of contributors come

together and submit their gifts. People who come and

 join the giveaway as members are going to opt in to

different giveaways and this will add subscribers to

your list. If you’ve been around for awhile, you no

 doubt know what JV giveaways are, and I’m not

going to dwell on what JV giveaways are or how they

 can build good business for you because you can go

 to a place like newjvgiveaways.com and find out all

 you need to know about giveaways freely on the

net. But just the fact that I’m pointing you in that

 direction is pretty valuable because if you’re just

starting out and you have no money to spend on ads,

 getting giveaways is a really good way to start,

 because you can add that first 10, 50, 100

subscribers on your list fairly quickly. Some of these

 giveaways get up to 30,000 subscribers joining; not

 to your list, but to the actual giveaway. What

happens is the host of the giveaway is going to get

 the most subscribers. They’re putting the giveaway

 with all the contributors and setting the dates, and

 then once the giveaway is live, all the contributors

 send traffic to the JV giveaway main page, but the

 host is going to get all the subscribers onto their list.

  Then the member who just joined will probably see

 a one-time offer or some kind of offer before they go

 and see all the different gifts that that contributors

 have. So when you’re a contributor and you promote

 one of these JV giveaways through your own link,

 you often make sales right there before they even

 get to the gifts. That’s one thing about it. My point is

 if you’re just starting out and you don’t have much

money to buy traffic, then this may be one that you

 want to master. The truth is, if you became just a

 master of one of these methods, then you’ll

generate all the ads you’ll ever need. Let me say that

 again. If you become the master of just one of these

 methods I'm going to share with you then you will

generate all the leads you’ll ever need. So why not

 do something like JV giveaways? You can do public

 ones, you can do private ones, and you can host

 ones and make the real money. I’ve hosted a couple

 and that’s where I generated the most leads. You

could generate 10,000 leads in one day, 20,000 leads

 in one day from contributors blasting traffic to your

own giveaway. So just think about that. If you were

 to jump headfirst into the world of JV giveaways as a

 contributor to start off with, then one day you may

 be able to host your own JV giveaways.
