Yet another Clickbank style product – Clickbank Predators has just kicked off its pre-launch offering a DIY affiliate marketing review site template provided as part of the pre-launch aka a fill in the blanks style approach to create a product review site using affiliate marketing to make money.

It is clearly a different style launch to the usual clickbank products with no massive salesy launch (yet!) and a more traditional internet marketing guru launch offering free content and more relationship style selling.

Fill in the blanks affiliate marketing review site

The first stage of Clickbank Predators has provided this affiliate marketing review site template and the example that Chris Fox is presenting is for a review style site for Commission Blueprint 2.

According to Chris, this template made him over $4,000 in affiliate commissions during the product launch and overall this template has made over $100,000 in commissions so clearly it does work.

The example to the left is the site which in this case is made using WordPress and can be seen as a demo in real life at http://www.commissionblueprint2site.com/ It is built using the standard FlexSqueeze theme so is definitely available for anyone to use as a basis.

Now where Chris has taken this the next step is not just show you the ACTUAL site that made him over $4,000 in commissions which he explains everything through the video but also a template to make sure you understand the logic behind WHY he has done what he has.

When you go to the CB Predators squeeze page, you can optin to get the video that explains the science around the process and why:

1. The top says “So your looking for a Commission Blueprint 2 review?
2. A sub section says “The Good, The Bad And The Ugly….”
3. and much much more

After you review the video, download the PDF template that you can use as a basis to create your own review site replacing Commission BluePrint2 with your product you want to promote.

If yo uwant to bypass the whole process, here is the template – http://cbpredators.com/downloads/cbpredatorstemplate.pdf but if you want to understand, the video explains the logic behind it.

What is CB Predators?

This will be explained more over the coming days but suffice to say, the product has been under construction since October 2009 and it is a software product that is designed to create “Five Figure Commissions In just 18 Clicks”

Gotta love this email subject – “The DEATH of the Salesletter” which is what Ryan Deiss’s Video Sales Letter Formula is all about. This follows on from my earlier blog post about split testing which Ryan does so well.

Anyway, Video Sales Letter Formula is now LIVE and about to be heavily promoted so let me explain what it is all about

What is Video Sales Letter Formula?

The main sales page video which is 21 minutes long explains what is now changing with sales pages and he is certainly telling the truth in that video sales letters are now becoming more proficient than long form sales letters.

How do I know?

Well you can simply look at the last few mega launches from Frank Kern, Andy Jenkins and Jeff Johnson just for starters. How many long form sales letters did you see? Absolutely NONE.

Aside from the guru in video Andy Jenkins with The Video Boss launch , you will notice the now prevalence of PowerPoint style videos aka Camtasia being used to record someone talking to the PowerPoint video. Simple isn’t it? The great thing about these is that rather than a reader having to just read the long form letter, you can now get access to the reader through multiple modalities i.e. text, audio and video which is why they work.

To add to the success of this format, Ryan says that compared to his last long form salesletter

Video sales letters are converting 321% better than my last launch

and to me the BIGGIE is

My average sales conversions have gone from 2.1% to a staggering 6.9%

Ryan explains that there is a 12 step process to creating thee videos and he gives you the template in video sales letter formula. In conjunction with the process, Ryan provides a few bonuses including his Magic Buy Button software  Overnight Product Creation to help you get started and his new “Triple X” process which is designed to triple the value of every customer transaction by assisting with the process of creating upsells, cross sells and of course continuity income which is Ryan’s speciality from the days of continuity blueprint.

In Summary

I agree with everything Ryan says in the process and that video sales letters are certainly the way of the immediate future however I would say these videos are really just a long form copy in disguise and that you need to know how to write sales copy a la John Carlton style to be a true success.

What Ryan Deiss’s Video Sales Letter Formula will do though is give you a fast start  to the process by providing the knowledge and tools to get going.

In the launch of video sales letter formula, you will see the use of Ryan Deiss’s Magic Buy Now Button which interestingly has been included as being worth $5000 to Ryan as he explains in his sales letter video.

Now Ryan is a very very good marketer and his split testing of what works has been covered in detail in my earlier blog post split testing review of video sales letter formula which basically shows that this sort of technology works and a Magic Buy Now Button aka a delayed Add To Cart button in conjunction with a video sales letter is the thing to do (for now!)

Anyway, in the spirit of Product Launch Vault, I bring you this technology within my latest report. Find out:

1. What code do you need to add to your web page
2. When should you make the Add To Cart button appear
3. Examples of how it is used and why

It has been really interesting watching the split testing of the launch of the new product by Ryan Deiss Video Sales Letter Formula.

All this testing is occurring before he has announced this new product to his affiliates, obviously checking all the possible combinations and working out the highest converting offer. What I mean is as follows:

Over the past week, I have received multiple emails with:

1. Different web addresses
2. Different email content
3. Different email headings

and that’s what I call proper split-testing.

Different web addresses

The emails I have received have been directing me to the following web addresses:

• http://www.drivingtraffic.com/3x-video
• http://www.uglyvideosalesletters.com
• http://www.howtotripleyoursales.com/
• http://www.deathofthesalesletter.com/

Now to me the interesting thing ignoring the first example as this is a link off his blog is the emotion in the domain name – “ugly”, “death” – very interesting use with the end result after clicking on these websites going to a completely normal domain name which sounds like a product and is

• http://www.videosalesletterformula.com/

*** You can see another example where Ryan is using this technique is with Facebook Ad Power

Note the use of the almost patented Ryan Deiss “Add To Cart” orange button which I first covered back in this blog post back in June 2009! http://www.productlaunchvault.com/195/do-you-know-what-is-the-best-buy-now-button-to-use/

Different Email Subjects

Again following up on the domain names, there is again a lot of emotion in the email subjects- see what I mean

• I Gotta “Banish’ This Video
• How to SELL with PPT Video
• The World’s UGLIEST Video
• The DEATH of the Salesletter? [VIDEO]
• One Trick TRIPLED my Sales Instantly
• 3X your sales (no additional traffic needed)

Check out though what is in common with all of these except two – a CAPITAL word appearing. Correct me if I am wrong, but I get the feeling Ryan knows something about conversion rates using this.

I recommend you try this out too

Different email content

Obviously I am not going to copy all the different emails into this post as it will start to get a bit ridiculous but some points I have noticed:

1. All have THREE links to the website in the email and no obvious click tracking i.e. you can see the domain name
2. All have one or more P.S.s
3. No more personalization – they begin with Hey or Hi

Video Sales Letter Formula – Next Steps

In the next 48 hours or so, I expect maybe some more testing before the site is taken down leading into the pre-launch and then launch of the product. In the meantime, here is the link to the video sales letter formula video just in case it gets taken down – http://videosalesletters.s3.amazonaws.com/vidsalesletter-salesvid-v2.flv

Anyway, hope you found this interesting, I will follow up in the next couple of days, my analysis of the actual video sales letter formula and the ryan deiss launch video sales page

Enjoy!

Interestingly, my wordpress cms theme – one of the premium wp themes out there just got a mention as part of the new Affiliate Game Plan launch from Rob Benwell and Taylor Feltcher.

What was interesting to me is that WPREMIX was used as a good example of an affiliate program that is clearly making Taylor a lot of money – over $4,265 from the example video he shows as part of his pre-launch.

Now, rather than go on about this product launch (if you are interested in it here it is -  Access Affiliate Game Plan) I would rather talk about the wordpress cms theme which is a premium wp theme and what is so good about it.

What is WPRemix

WPREMIX is an awesome wordpress content management system theme used as the basis for Product Launch Vault.

In this blog, I am using it primarily for the blog template aka magazine module(1 of 5 provided) that is provided for free as part of the core purchase but the real power is the page templates used to provide awesome different looks and feels as well as great content.

If you go to the demo section of WPRemix and look at all of the different page template designs you can see the power and how you can create a lot of different look and feels.

One tip is to download them into a PowerPoint document which you can use for creating websites for companies in your area i.e. online marketing for offline businesses. it works and works well!

Note: Here is a link to all the wpremix page templates that I use when designing websites for clients.

In the picture above, this is an example of one of the 10 different home pages available with sections for inner pages for:

1. Products
2. Images Galleries
3. Events
4. Contact Forms
5. FAQ Pages
6. Features

and many more.

It is very good so if you are looking at a top wordpress cms theme, you can do no worse than to download WPRemix, I seriously suggest trying this premium wp theme out and I can give you a lot of tips if you end up buying it. Good Luck

I came across Alex Jeffreys for the first time during the Andrew Fox launch of Affiliate Millionaire and have now seen he is next in line to become a bit of an internet guru with his latest pre-launch  and the first item being his free report  Gurus Nightmare which is an incredible 95 pages. His goal in 2010 is to break the million dollars a year mark and I can see after studying his free launch report that he will do this.

This report is written in the same way as the Rich Schefren reports and is his “Final Chapter”  starting with Gurus Dream in September 2008 and Newbies Nightmare in June 2009.

In both cases the result of the report was Alex’s own coaching program – Marketing with Alex which surprise surprise is exactly what we are building up to in this pre-launch. But what has surprised me with Gurus Nightmare is that this report has actually MADE ME THINK.

What is Gurus Nightmare?

Gurus Nightmare is all about marketing and how important this is for your business.
We are at a point in time where social media is enabling any “little guys” in marketing move up quicker than ever and so called “big guys” have to now watch out as you can get instant feedback on anything through twitter, Facebook, YouTube and so-on.

Think about some of the last big launches and what has happened. I can think of two where feedback was not positive and this will certainly stop me from following them in the same way – namely Arbitrage Conspiracy and Google Cash Detective 2 – HOWEVER if you look at something like The Video Boss, I have heard nothing but praise – makes you think right?

No-one can  afford to slip up and not offer VALUE anymore

Be transparent in your marketing and JUST BE YOU

Key Takeaways from the PDF

• In order to make money online, you need to become a marketer first. Stop being a prospect and become a marketer
• An idiot with a plan will beat a genius without a plan
• People will write about you if you give out value by providing content for FREE
• If you follow a proven formula and learn it then you can make money every single night
• Websites don’t make money it is the business behind them that does
• It’s all based around building a list
• You need to be hands on learning how to automate a business, then you can focus on marketing it
• Learn at a smaller level before trying to play with the big guys – you will not be able to compete with Eben Pagan, Jeff Walker and Frank Kern if you are just starting out!
• The best selling products are the best marketed products
• Building a list doesn’t make you money, but having a list and running marketing campaigns to it, makes you tons of money

And finally:

Look at the Internet Marketers out there and do things differently by:

1. Start to study their stuff
2. Look at how they sell to you, not what they sell to you
3. Start to model it
4. Look at their squeeze pages
5. What products do they offer for free
6. What do they try to sell you once you sign up for a free offer
7. What are their email campaigns like, to keep trying to get you to move from prospect to customer?
8. Rip off their model and start to use it yourself

I recommend getting on the email list in order to get the follow up stuff too – Download Gurus Nightmare and start to study him just as he says

What is next in the Pre-Launch?

On the 5th April, Alex will be holding a webinar – Easy Cash Webinar with go-live happening on the 6th April

Check out these good mobile marketing advertising examples that have been released by the StomperMobile guys. I get the impression that the sign up has not been what they expected, what with sending out this content plus now the list of content for lesson 1.

It has got me thinking though these mobile marketing advertising examples are great particularly for offline businesses particularly that this could give companies a leading edge against others e.g. restaurants. According to Dan Hollings, these have all had increased results by 16% or more in a business.
