Sunday Email Part 7

"Sunday Email" was supposed to be sent out on Sundays. It's Monday today. Heck. I'm publishing it anyway with the "Sunday Email" title. :-)

What's Hot To Sell?

If you're in the internet marketing niche, that's pretty easy. Just follow the launches going on and you'll be able to notice the trend. But certain topics will give you better conversion than the rest. For instance, a software that can automatically write a salesletter will sell better than an ebook teaching someone to write a salesletter.

In my opinion, generally a product that ACTUALLY does the work for you will sell better than teaching you how to do it.

Secondly, a product related to traffic and making money online will sell better than a course that teaches you how to... let's say, build a website.

Can you see why? Because learning how to build a website is not 'sexy' and it's not going to make you rich. Unless, you know how to position your product so that learning how to build a website that churns money out for your prospects.

If you're not in the "internet marketing" niche, you can know what's hot based on what are people searching online. For instance, you can go to http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html to see what's hot in Google.com.

Other free way to find out what's hot, you can use eBay's Pulse to see what's hot in eBay.com at http://pulse.ebay.com/


The Truth About Writing Longer Pages Of eBooks

The more pages a book has, the more value it has. Yeah, go ahead and debate with me all you want.

Some of the BEST knowledgeable information can be found within 5 pages of information. Meaning, you don't NEED a 100-page ebook on fly fishing to teach you how to catch a fish.

The fact is, 100 pages makes the book look 'comprehensive' and it MUST be worth the money to be paid for it. Is that true? Only in the eyes of perceived value.

I mean, have you read a search engine optimization ebook with 200 pages? I have. And I can find the exact information in a 10-page report I've read as well. Isn't that ironic?

What's the difference between the 200-page and the 10-page one? The number of pages, that is. That's all! The author of the 200-page product will sell more than the other author solely based upon the number of pages and have less refund rates.

It's deceiving, I know. But do you want to make more sales and have less refunds or not? If you're answer is a resounding yes, just listen to me for your own good. Please.

Yeah, I know short reports SELL. I totally agree with you on that. But if you take that small report and make it big while maintain at the same pricing, don't you think you'll sell more and have less refund? You decide and I listen.


Another Thought About Niche Marketing

Many people still failed to understand 'niche marketing'. In fact, I couldn't blame them because so many people are selling courses about niche marketing and it's getting really confusing.

Let's say you want to go into the "gardening" niche market. One of the simplest ways to do this is to build an online business in the sub-niches like home gardening, bonsai tree gardening, cold weather gardening, etc. You've heard about this method MOST of the time in all kind of courses, including the crappy ones.

Have you thought about creating and selling a gardening software? Think of a simple software applications can greatly enhance the daily experience for gardeners, and help them plan for better results.

A basic software application that computed the amount of time it would take to grow a plant, or fruit from seed, to maturity would be a smash hit amongst techie gardeners around the world.

Ready to take the application to the next level? Try building in internet links for various plants, and seed companies that will provide gardening stuff at a good price.

This software application can be implemented in a trial version onto a website as a script, or flash application. Let the customers try a few calculations to test the software’s capabilities, and then prompt them to purchase it. Whatever.

Get programmers scriptlance.com or rentacoder.com to design a simple gardening software application. With the program complete, simply setup a website, and offer it as a shareware on Cnet.com and other major download sites as a free trial.

If you understand and can see the world of 'niche marketing', it's almost endless of what you can do. The point here is, there are so many branches that can be extended. And you can even go into those so-called competitive niche if you know how to work your way in easily.


**New Resale Rights Are Available**

The Sunday Email Part 6

Can You Make Money Online?

Of course some people would say it's absolutely possible – If they have or currently making money online. And for those who never make a single dime online before might still say the same because of the 'evidence' that they are seeing.

Put it this way -- if you know how to make money from a business, you will know how to make money online because it's using the same concept.

Surprisingly, many people still don't have a clue to run a profitable business and they're trying to make money from the internet. Websites are not considered as online businesses. You can have an online store selling stuff, but it's not a business. It's a website.

You either use your website as a business or as a medium for your offline business. For instance if you have a offline business, the internet is simply another marketing tool that can be used as part of your OVERALL marketing plan.

The biggest misunderstanding that beginners have is learning from the misleading information given by marketers, which is this -- If you have a site, you're going to make money online automatically.

What is a piece of crap.

Having a website is nothing more than having a storefront in the offline world. How does having shoe store is going to make money for you?

Marketing. Getting people to visit your store and buying the shoes you're selling. The rest is history.


Why I Wasn't Making Money Online

I could never figure out why I wasn't making money in one of the niche markets that I was trying to penetrate a few months back.

Then later on – I realized why and I'm feeling kinda embarrass to tell you. The reason I failed was because I wasn't offering what is expected by them and expecting to get 'paid' for giving lousy information! I wasn't giving the expected value and I expect people on the internet to pay me. That's embarrassing.

You cannot be focusing to make money online even though that's your ultimate purpose to start an online business. That's focusing on you. Big mistake, my friend. You need to focus on your OFFER in the way they (your prospect) would BENEFIT from it. That's focusing on your prospect.

Now, if that's the case, how come so many people failed to make money when they're in the self-help niche... trying to teach other people how to be successful? Isn't that focusing on other people?

Well, put it this way... to help others, they'll need to help themselves first. If you can't be super motivated all the time, how in the world can you teach someone how to be motivated? No, can't do. Some might say "yes", but that's not in my vocabulary of success. I don't believe in 'fake till you make it' although some people use that.

You know what, it's really abstract to explain how this works.

Focusing on your prospect is more than just trying to be "Mr. or Ms. Nice" person with the true and sincere heart to help. Helping is good and I encourage that. But if you want to be financially rich, stick to learning how to make money first. If you're broke and trying to do that, I wish you good luck. If you're darn rich and just want to go out there to help, for crying out loud – don't do business. Be a philanthropist.

We are here for business. Look. You're here for business. I'm here for business. The reason why you're reading this email is because you know I can deliver good and solid content for you time after time without fail. At the same time, you'll know I’'l sell you stuff today, tomorrow or whenever it is. But you're still reading it. Am I helping you? Yes. Am I in business? Yes. Can I help for free? No because I have to pay my own bills.

Do you see what I mean here?

In order for you to make money online, you need to understand your market. To be more precise, understand how they think and what they are expecting from you. If you can do that, then you earn your 'right' to sell to them. And all of these can only be achieved if you start focusing on their benefit, NOT YOURS. Whether you sell or not, that's a different story.

You probably heard two of these two statements before...

"I want to have 100,000 subscribers in my mailing list so that I can make money online."

"I want to help people how to achieve success in their life."

Both are correct but what are missing are these --

"I can have 100,000 subscribers in my mailing list so that I can make money online by understanding my prospect and give them what they want first."

"I want to help people how to achieve success in their life and in return, getting paid for my effort before, during or after teaching them."


Dreaming, Hoping And Imaging

A dream is like this...

"I can dream of becoming an internet millionaire and then I can do this, that..."

A hope is like this...

"I hope that this course will eventually teach me how to make a million online."

An imagination is like this...

"I can imagine that my software will make one million for me."

Scrap all of these!

I hate all of these. In fact, I hate it when people tell me what's their dream, what's their hope and what they imagine they are going to get -- But they are not doing or not willing to do anything to make it happen.

Sounds cold and heartless right? Sorry if you're offended because it's my job is to inform you this. If you don't like the real hard-hitting truth, you can seek other marketers that will tell WHAT YOU WANT to hear all the time, sell you a bunch of courses and leave your pocket dry of cash. Then when you buy the course, you'll have your dream, hope and imagination. Anything wrong about that? Nope. It's legal marketing if the consumer decides to buy.

Why in the world would you want to dream, hope or imagination then?

Instead of doing any of these three, you should be setting your goal, planning how to achieve it and taking action towards it. Full stop.

If you start telling people that you're dreaming or hoping to make a million online, you're not going to get any sympathy vote from anyone. Na da.

I know this because I've been in that shoe.

This is A TRUE STORY.

Again, here's another embarrassing one...

When I first started out, I truly wanted to go into the self-help niche. Then I wrote a long email to a self-help guru explaining my condition and asking for support. Sent. No reply. Sent again. No reply. I was kinda upset with that and now I can understand why. This self-help guru probably receives hundreds of the same email like this EVERYDAY!

To cut the story short, after I've realized that I wasn't going to get ANY HELP from him, I've set my own goal, do my own planning and take my own actions to achieve what I have today. The keyword here is, "my own".

C'mon. Even though if the self-help guru I was seeking really, really, really wants to help – don't you think it's only practical that he'll help his family members (like father, mother, brother, sister, cousins, in-laws and the long list of relatives he has), close friends, business associated, etc first?

And he really doesn't need to prove to me that he is successful BECAUSE HE'S ALREADY SUCCESSFUL.

Whatever you want to achieve – My suggestion is to seek the information you need to learn regardless of free or paid methods, and take action towards that.

The only person that can help you is YOU. Once you do that, then other people might be able to help you. But you need walk the first step. Confucius once said, "A thousand mile starts with a single step." My question to you is... "Can you take that first step?"


Patric, What Have You Been Doing Lately?

To be honest with you, nothing much. I'm going to test how effective of using "social bookmarking" to get free traffic. I know; it's an "outdated" strategy by now. But I'm just going to test it out anyway. Who knows, maybe I'll strike gold or something.

Social Bookmarking is just like adding a website to your favorites folder. The difference is that you are posting them to the web where anyone can find them. These websites have risen in popularity very quickly and are the secret to ranking well in the major search engines.

When you're doing this, use proper tags to identify your site to others. Try to keep it under 30 tags and double check to see if they want tags separated by spaces or commas. If they want terms separated by spaces, join words with a dash or hyphen (-).

Secondly, contact friends and family to request that they bookmark your websites. This will get you extra traffic, as the more bookmarks there are of your site, the more exposure you get.

You can go to Onlywire – www.onlywire.com to make social bookmarking a breeze.

If you don't understand a thing what I am saying, forget about it. Don't ask me how to do this in details because I'm still learning (smile). I'm just telling you what I'm going to do soon but I'll keep you posted whether it's effective or not.


Are You Going To Sell Me Anything Today, Patric?

Not today. I'll think of something good to sell you later on. But for now, I just want to go to sleep. It's 12.15 AM here right now and I'm too sleepy to crack my brain to think of how to sell you something. And besides, I need to focus on delivering top-notch materials for my 14th February coaching program at www.internetcoachingprogram.com. It's easy for me write today's content because I just write whatever come to my mind or how I felt. I'll make my money elsewhere – somewhere in the cyberspace in other niche markets, probably in affiliate marketing.

If you like it, please feel free to leave a Comment below that I can use for testimonial in the future.

You "Chan" Do It!

Note: Didn't I just promoted my affiliate marketing coaching program at www.internetcoachingprogram.com? Oops. I did (smile). Go and see for yourself because you have 2 more days to go before it's close for registration.

6-Week Affiliate Marketing Coaching Program

I think what you're going to read
will definitely change your future
to start making money online.

But before I share with you why this
is so, I want to point out several
things to you...

First of all -- Making money online
is not rocket science. But it's
scientific. It's not art. Everything
can be predicted, tracked and tested
for continuous improvement.

Secondly, if you have the wrong
mindset and attitude, no one or any
courses in the world can help you.
I know you may not be extremely
keen to be 'lectured' about that
topic so I'll leave that to your own.
But just remember, mindset and
attitude play a huge role for your
success on the internet.

Thirdly, I want to disclose my secrets
of how I made money online when I
first started out. I sell other people's
product as an affiliate marketer.

In fact, I'm still doing that today --
aggressively in all kind of niches.

Finally, don't try to reinvent the wheel.
Trust me, you don't have that kind of
time to be wasted, Patric.

Your time and life are just too
precious for that.

What you want is to use the same
concept and strategies that have
already been proven to work and make
money VERY FAST. Preferably, within
a week or so.


The last time I opened up my
coaching program for 10 clients, all
of them are taken up by just one
email announcement.

This time, I'm going to extend an
invitation to 25 people to be coached
by me for six weeks to make money
online through affiliate marketing ­
the easiest and quickest way to
churn money out of cyber thin air.

One thing you might want to know
is that, there's no fancy launch for
this coaching program because it'll
be sold out fast.

I don't have a cool checklist to launch
this. No anticipation blog, squeeze page,
free report, press release, tons of
JV partner promoting it and the whole
nine yards of a true product launch.

IT JUST HAPPENED.

It's rather a 'close-door' thing that
I'm doing. I'm extending this privilege
for you to consider first rather than
letting 'outsiders' to take up the
limited seats.

There's only one possible problem...
I can't promise you that there will
still be any seats left when you go to
the webpage below. No kidding, don't
be surprise if they are all gone in
split seconds.

If you think that I can personally help
you in 2007, act now:

http://www.internetcoachingprogram.com

You "Chan" Do It!

-Patric Chan


P.S: Here are a few important Q&A's you
want to know before you jump on this
limited opportunity...


Q1: What kind of affiliate marketing
course is this?

A1: First of all, this is NOT a course.
This is a 100% COACHING PROGRAM that
is structured as a step-by-step workshop.
After the six weeks of training, you'll
be able to start an affiliate marketing
business online with a complete blueprint.

On top of that, this is a TWO-WAY
coaching program with my personal
six weeks of email support and LIFETIME
forum support.

There will also be a group consultation call
to support you. I can't promise you, but
there's a chance I'll have more calls. This
is surprise keep for the limited 25 clients.
Hush hush. (smile)


Q2: Why you? I mean, what's your
uniqueness, Patric? Why should I signup
with your program today?

A2: I make complicated things simple to
understand without adding more confusion
to your wonderful life. Here's what one
of my mentoring students said:

http://www.internetcoachingprogram.com/testimonial.html

You see, that's my EXPERTISE.

You decide whether you want to hear nice,
sophisticated theoretical marketing concepts
that make you feel "smart" to know but they
cannot be applied or simple techniques that
can be used into money makers instantly.

The other thing is ­ I walk my talk, Patric.
You're going to get the "trade secrets" of
how I make money as an affiliate marketer
in niche markets. Stuff I've used, currently
using and will be using in the future for my
own unfair advantage.

For instance, I'll reveal one of my niche sites
that I'm working on in the "online gaming"
niche. I'll explain how I'm going to make
money from this site on auto-pilot.

It's already been running for two months
now with real traffic proof. You'll see it.

Surprisingly, this is NOT even one of those
typical salesletter-type sites. Enough hint.

Finally, I don't just popup from no where
and start labeling myself as an internet guru
to teach online money making concepts and
strategies. I've listed some of my credibility at
the coaching program site that you can read:

http://www.internetcoachingprogram.com

I know it might sound like I'm 'showing off',
but that's absolutely not the case. It's
for the purpose to assure you that you're
definitely 'safe' to get my information
that are proven to work.


Q3: Will it work for me?

A3: Let me ask you... will you act on what
I'm going to teach you?

If your answer is yes, then I can guarantee
you that it'll work. If it doesn't, I wouldn't
dare to offer my coaching program and risk
hurting my own internet marketing credibility.


Q4: Since when you have been an affiliate
marketer in niche markets? I thought you sell
products in the 'internet marketing' niche only.

A4: Since the day I've started marketing
online. You see, it's no point for me to
'brand' myself as an affiliate marketer
in the "internet marketing" niche if
I'm selling NICHE affiliate programs. I'll
do this IF I want to develop a lot of
affiliate marketing products to sell in
the "internet marketing" niche but that's
not my intention.

The gaming site revealed in the coaching
program is an example of a niche market.

Secondly, I'm not a super affiliate marketer
in the "internet marketing" niche. Even
if I am, I can't teach you. The secret to
achieve that is obvious; build a huge list
and always give insane bonuses worth
10 fold (the more the better!) of the
product you're trying to promote. If you
can do that, I bet that you'll be a
super affiliate quicker than others.

I know this is the truth because I'm
guilty of being one of them that use this
method to get a lot of affiliate sales.

Of course, there are more variables involved
like preselling, building relationship,
etc, but you get the main idea.


Q5: I like to join your coaching program. But
do you think you can offer it a lower price?

A5: I've spent tens of thousands dollars,
sacrifice years to learn (losing so much of
my own enjoyment and relationship time),
experienced emotional setbacks like frustration
and disappointment and taking the risk of
insecurity to quit my job to do this. If you
look at that point of view, you would see
that the investment to exchange for being
part of the exclusive 25 clients in this
coaching program is relatively, VERY SMALL.


Q6: I'm "ok" with the investment. Do you
have an installment payment plan?

A6: Yes, it's 3-month easy installment
plan. In fact, I think you would make
money online to pay off for your
third installment!


Q7: How much money can I make after
completing your affiliate marketing
coaching program?

A7: I would be glad to tell you but
unfortunately, there's no way to figure
this out because I don't know what products
you're going to sell, how much traffic
you're going to get and what are your
sales conversion rates.

However, one thing for sure is that,
you'll be able to make money online
from what you'll learn and recoup back
your investment quickly. The question is,
how much money do you want to make?

The more effort that you're willing to
put in, the more money you're going to
earn because you're using a proven
time-tested system.


Q8: How easy it is to apply the strategies
and techniques taught in the Power Profit
Affiliate Workshop?

A8: These are the three necessary things
that you need to know -- How to use emails,
how to use the internet (especially search
engines like Yahoo.com or Google.com)
and how to write English. Everything else
will be taught in the coaching program,
including setting up your webpages. So it's
suitable for newbies and advance marketers.


Q9: If this is working so well, why are
you teaching it?

A9: Good question. And here's the honest
truth ­ I've already done all I can for
MYSELF based on the time, money and
resources that I have!

By offering the coaching program, it's
just another income revenue for me and
I'm not worried about competition
because the internet niche markets are
way too huge.

Patric, it's very unlikely that we'll
'bump' to each other. Even if we do, it
really doesn't matter! We're not talking
about promoting a product in the crowded
"internet marketing" niche which is
common that DIFFERENT marketers are
'sharing' a SAME subscriber or visitor.


Q10: Do I need to spend any more money
on courses and tools to generate an income
as an affiliate marketer?

A10: Not necessary. In fact, the answer is a
soothing "no" unless you want to use other
convenient tools. You see, when you join
the coaching program today, you'll get Bonus #1,
which is the Power Profit Affiliate ToolKit.
It has all of the sufficient tools.


Q11: How much do I need to spend to build
a profitable affiliate marketing business?

A11: I wouldn't call it spending but
investment since you're "spending" to
make money. It ranges from less than
$10 to $100 a month depending on what kind
of advance tools you want to use. The
fix costs are just for the buying the
domain name ($8.95 a year) and hosting fee
(ranges from $6.95 to $24.95 a month).


Q12: When your coaching program starts?

A12: On the 14th February 2007.


Q13: Do you still have any seats left?

A13: Yes. As of now (The time of sending
this email), I still have 19 seats available.
Secure a seat for yourself before all of
the 25 are taken at:
