One of the fastest ways to succeed in anything you do is to find someone who has already achieved what you want and copy them, or better still get them to coach or mentor you.

Unfortunately that’s normally beyond a lot of people’s budgets and can cost many $1000s.

The good news for you if you are aiming to build an online business is that for the next 7 days ( starting April 12th 11am EST) you can grab One Month Mentor for just $27.

Just post what you would like in a comment below and I will let you know if I can get it for you.

Thanks for reading

Keith Purkiss

You must have been receiving a ton of emails promoting WSOs, and this week I bet most of them for Chris Munch’s Hook Pigeon.

I had so many ‘pre-launch’ emails about it even though nobody had seen the product.  That’s because it’s live training.

I decided to wait for these reasons

1)  I wanted to see the sales page and also the members area to get an idea of what the product was about.

2) It looked like everyone would be swamped with emails and with WSOPro and the Warrior forum regularly suffering from overload who knew if it would cope?  I didn’t want to send people to a crashed site.  (As it turned out it was overloaded).

I was sure it would be good as I’ve bought many of Chris’s products before and always read his emails, but it’s always best to check things out as carefully as you can before promoting.

My tips are

1) Test  the product

A couple of products I’ve spent over a week testing before mentioning as they take that long to get results.  Some of the backlinks ones take even longer so those come down to judgement or existing knowledge that the methods will work.

Software can be harder to check  – I tested a piece of software and it worked for me but some customers still had difficulties.

2) Check Support

Watch the threads for issues, and make sure the product owners is addressing them.

3) Offer a bonus

4) Post a review

Review the product on your blog and email out a link to it.

Overview Of Hook Pigeon – Stop Fighting Google!

First of all a reminder that this is a live training program that begins on 5th March.

Nobody has seen the content yet, so this is not a full product review.

The course will cover attracting traffic by giving Google what it wants instead of fighting for rankings. Chris will show his using white hat methods that he uses to get floods of traffic.  He explains that you will not instantly get the same results yourself from his methods – you have to put in the work and build up.

You’ll be releasing small pieces of viral content that gain you traffic and natural backlinks using press releases, facebook, twitter etc.

The course is covered by a 30 day guarantee, so I think it’s got to be worth a look.

 Bonus

Yes, I am including a bonus if you do decide to invest via my link

Just reply to any of my emails with your receipt and I’ll send you an exclusive invitation to a live webinar which will be held after Chris’s training where I’ll help you out with any aspect of the course.

I’ve  two questions for all my readers today:)

1) What’s the most subscribers you’ve added to your list in a day?

2) What’s the biggest number of subscribers you think you can add in a day?

The most I’ve previously is about 400, the most I think I can add is over 1000.

But if you don’t set a target how are you going to reach it?

I could have just drifted along getting a few subscribers a day but then I will never reach my target for the month, or year.

That’s why I’ve set myself a challenge of adding 1000 subscribers in 24 hours, and today is the day I’ve chosen.

So set yourself a target and go for it.

If you have no list  I challenge you to build a list of 100 in a month.

If you have a small list  try adding 50 more in a day, or at least double the amount you have ever added.

Set an appropriate target but don’t make it easy.

How Can I help You?

If you are interested in knowing what methods I am using to build my list, just post a comment below and if enough people are interested I will do a follow up post or a report explaining what I did…

Update

6am EST, 1pm UK – added 283 subscribers today so far. (I’ll be using aweber time to count the 24 hours and taking a screen shot of the total subs added at the end)

3pm EST , 8pm  UK – added 631 subscribers

Final update

I didn’t quite make it but added 918 subscribers which is not bad, and am now past 35,000

- Your most beautiful post
– Your most popular post
– Your most controversial post
– Your most helpful post
– A post whose success surprised you
– A post you feel didn’t get the attention it deserved

I don’t have any posts that would fit into this catagory, but here’s one about the ‘beauty’ of Internet Marketing – that is you can earn an income and in this case win a prize while you are on holiday:

http://www.keithpurkiss.com/i-won-a-prize-while-on-holiday-in-ireland

Most Popular:

http://www.keithpurkiss.com/super-affiliates-page-and-free-edu-links

It seems like simple tools like my edu link finder appeal a lot to people and this post has 27 comments at the moment.

Most Controversial:

http://www.keithpurkiss.com/is-2011-really-the-year-of-ethical-marketers
This post was meant to be a place for subscribers to discuss queries they had with an event I promoted but some people seems to have been ‘sent’ to the thread to make negative comments without reading it.  I think the thread speaks for itself.

Most Helpful:

I’m going to pick this one because it encourages people to create their own products and reminds them that even if they only do a few  minutes work per day they will get there in the end.

Post Whose Success Surprised Me:

This post about spammy emails got 33 comments which was well above my average :

Post that Didn’t Get The Attention It Deserved:

This post contained a summary was working for me at the time, and anyone could take the information in the post and succeed online.

It only got ten comments though so maybe it’s worth another mention.

Another difficult choice, I decided on this one because I spent a year working every day on the product mentioned in this post.

Have Giveaways Passed Their Sell By Date?

I’m sure anyone involved in building their list using JV Giveaways will have noticed there are probably more events running now than ever before.

I have one myself at the moment with Chris Shaw – The Cyber Monday Giveaway which is open to members now:

 http://besteverjvgiveaways.com/cmg11/go/3

The downside of there being a lot of events is that most people are not going to join them all, and there are really too many to promote.

I’ve found that promoting to get members loses me more subscribers than I get back.

For example I promoted to around 5000 subscribers, got 7 member signups to an event but had around 20 unsubs, so now I normally promote to contributors, and get only a small number of members into events via my blog and my list of events open to members which I link to in emails.

This is probably the reason why a lot of people don’t promote events – there’s not enough WIIFM.

Competitions can help eg cash prizes, co-hosting a future event, or promotion to the event lists.

In most events a lot of people are not promoting at all though, even those with fairly
big lists, which is unfair on those with smaller lists who do have signups.

I think a ‘pay or promote’ policy which some people use may be the way to go  ie contributors have to pay for an upgrade, or promote – if they are
free and dont get signups then they will be downgraded.

Does anyone have any other ideas and how to boost Giveaway Events?

The Value Of IMTrustworthy

Anyone can setup a website, and many give you no idea who is running it, so how can you tell if it is genuine?

One way to gain credibility and insure people know who owns a site is to use a seal from IM Trustworthy – I’ve just added on to the top right of my blog.  I’m going to add these to my other sites as well, and people will be able to see other marketers comments about me (only one at the time of writing but I hope to have more soon).

This is my profile – I think only members can view it, but it’s free to join:
