Ultimate
2014
Gameplan
Snappin’ Necks and Chashin’ Checks Edition
By Jason Parker
Introduction
Last year I released the “Ultimate 2013 Gameplan” and the internet
community went friggin’ bonkers and bought 2,520 copies.
If you still have a copy of the 2013 Gameplan, then you’ll find that
everything inside still works like a champ.
I’ll explain that throughout this report and try to give you some insights
into the direction I’m going in and why.
You’re about to get a bird’s eye view of my exact business for 2014.
It would take a $30,000+ coaching program to show you the ins and outs
of everything I cover in this report.
What I tried to do, however, was leave out all the fluff and only give you
the meat and potatoes—and give you a high level overview.
I wrote this for the struggling (but serious) marketer who can't seem to
put all the pieces together.
I also wrote it for the high level marketers—and I'm hoping just one
thing you learn will make you an extra wad of sales in 2014.
And if you have any questions about anything I cover in this report, then
you can post them in the Listbuilding Club so we can answer them as a
mastermind.
This is the least complicated way to do it—the most stripped down way
to do it.
First of all… forget everything you’ve ever learned about Facebook ads.
There’s so much bad info about FB ads out there and I’m not sure how
much of it you’ve been fed, so just forget all of it for now.
Step #1:
Step #2:
Next go create a simple squeeze page with just a headline and an opt-in
box.
Make sure what you give away on this squeeze page is something
internet marketers would crawl across broken glass to get.
I'm talking about free massive graphics packs, 100 (or 1000) free PLR
ebooks, a product you normally sell, or something totally insane.
Just ask yourself this question, “What can I give away that people would
gladly pay for?”
You see... this is where people fall down with Facebook ads.
It must be totally insane and it must stand out from the rest.
So make your ad and squeeze page clear about how insane your offer is.
Simply tell them what they're getting, for free, plus the benefit of it.
(Make sure your squeeze page doesn’t mention large dollar amounts,
pictures of money flying all over the place, or anything hypey or your
Facebook ad will probably get rejected. You don’t need to resort to that
crap anyway. You’re better than that.)
Make sure you don’t have blind copy on your squeeze page.
Simply say WHAT IT IS you’re giving away and the benefit it offers in the
most low-key, non-hypey way possible.
And if your offer is insane enough, then you don't need to be a master
copywriter.
You want them to think this: “This seems too good to be true... Are you
telling me I can enter my name and get THIS? For FREE?”
My point exactly.
Step #3:
Select “Website Conversions” and select the name of the tracking pixel
you just created inside Facebook (it will pop up when you enter the URL
to your squeeze page, so don't worry).
As for the copy of the ad, just say what it is you’re giving away and put
the word “FREE” in the ad copy.
If what you’re giving away is something they’d crawl across broken glass
to get, then you don’t need to be an A-list copywriter to pull this off.
(Remember that!)
A good way to come up with your ad copy is to copy and paste the copy
from your squeeze page's headline into the FB ad, then shorten it if
needed.
Step #4:
Also when creating your ad, only target United States, United Kingdom,
Canada, and Australia.
However, you may find it even better to target only 35 and up because
I’ve found that most (not all) buyers in the Internet Marketing niche are
middle aged or at least above 35-years-old.
You’re probably adding a ton of tire kickers to your list by not carefully
targeting by age.
You may be flushing $1,000s of dollars per year down the tube.
(Don't worry, you won't pay $1 per click. This will make sure your ad
gets served so you can get data.)
Step #5:
When your ad gets approved and it’s running, take a look at your data
inside Facebook.
Look at your Cost Per Conversion when you go to manage your ads
inside Facebook.
If, according to your cost per conversion, you’re paying $1 or less per
lead, then congratulations, because now you’re getting 100 IM niche
leads per day with Facebook ads with a daily spend of $100.
There’s certainly much, much more you can do with Facebook ads and
listbuilding.
If you’re not getting any results at all right now with Facebook ads, then
try that 5-step process just to get up and running and getting good
results.
Now, in order to generate far more than 100 leads a day, you need to
build out your campaign and increase your daily budget.
When you want to build out your campaign, make sure you create one
new ad inside your campaign for each Precise Interest you're targeting.
Also, label each ad within the campaign with the name of the Precise
Interest you're targeting.
You do this because you want to track the Cost Per Conversion for each
Precise Interest.
When you do that, you'll find it's the holy grail of Precise Interests to
target.
There are many names of Pages that won't come up as Precise Interest,
but there are many that will.
There is no better way to find Precise Interests (in any niche really).
Some other Precise Interests in the IM space you may want to target
when you build out your campaign:
• GetResponse
• Ryan Deiss
• Jonathan Budd
• Darren Rowse
• Perry Marshall
• Matt Bacak
• Armand Morin
• Productivity Strategies
• Awebercom
• Lorrie Morganferrero
• Smart Passive Income
• ClickBank
• Anik Singal
• Stephen Pierce
• Joel Comm
• Jay Conrad Levison
• Viperchill
• Ed Dale
• Digital Marketer
• Dotcomsecretscom
• Jamesschramko
• Jason Moffatt
• John Chow Dot Com
• Lynn Terry
• Overcome Everything
• Shoemoney
Build out a campaign with these Precise Interests and you'll have all the
IM niche leads you can handle, my friend!
You can easily build out the campaign by clicking “Create a Similar Ad”
on the ad you've already created.
Just make sure to build out your campaign in the way I described—by
breaking up each ad so that you target only one Precise Interest per ad...
and LABEL each ad so you know which is which.
When traffic is flowing and you're looking at your data, if you're paying
more than you want to per click when you look at Cost Per Conversions,
there are two things to choose from:
1. You can Pause the ad (Never delete! You want to keep that data...
plus there is a lag with FB ads tracking and you might accidentally
delete an ad that's actually profitable.)
2. You can decrease the Max CPC for the ad. (This may cut off your
traffic flow if you go TOO low.)
Final thoughts...
The only way you're really going to learn to build lists with FB ads is by
DOING IT.
I burned through a lot of money figuring out everything I just told you
about too, so now you're in a good position to make it happen without
blowing through thousands of dollars learning what I just told you...
with Facebook ads so you can provide high quality solo ads built from a
quality traffic source and you'll really stand out from the crowd.
That said, you may find your list is so valuable that you'll never want to
sell a solo ad ever again.
After 8 years online, I realize the best buyers are people who have
painful problems that keep them up at night.
And if they even THINK that you might have the solution to the problem
that’s wrecking their life, then they’ll give it a try.
Think about it… What drives people to make any decision in life?
Pain by a long-shot!
When the pain of their problem outweighs the pain of spending the
amount of money you’re asking for, a transaction is made.
You can find “pain niches” galore by checking out this page of hypnosis
mp3 titles.
Well, I pride myself in being open and honest with you because I trust
you'll do the right thing with this info, so I’m just gonna tell you about it
anyway, OK?
This is where you have one squeeze page that adds subscribers to your
list and someone else’s list at the same time an opt-in takes place.
Some shady marketers are using this to sign people up to 10 lists at the
same time (their own lists) so they can bomb them with e-mails all day
from 10 different From Names.
I'm pretty sure that may be illegal... but what do I know... that's not my
area of expertise. (Read the Can Spam Act).
But let’s say you and your JV partner co-create an audio interview and
on the squeeze page you give it away with both of your names on the
squeeze page…
You can charge your JV partner (or whoever wants to buy the leads) a
buck per opt-in.
So you’re essentially building your list for free now (or at a profit).
Plus you CAN run traffic to a sales funnel or CPA offer or affiliate offer
after traffic opts-in to your list and it’s all pure profit for you.
If you look into what has worked for you in the past, you may find all
sorts of strategies and tactics you can start using again.
Also, I have done a co-op like this with GetResponse without problems,
but I don’t see AWeber liking it one bit.
(So beware. I told you this was a gray area from the start. It's sort of
hush-hush.)
That’s why I think there’s a lack of a solution out there for co-op scripts.
Just take your HTML webform and the HTML webform of the person
you’ll be co-oping with, then give it to the programmer and explain what
you want to do.
You want a script that will opt the visitor into one of the webforms and
automatically opt them into the other webform at the same time... then
redirect to whatever URL you want visitors to redirect to after they opt-
in.
You can get something like this made for dirt cheap.
Also, another type of JV deal you can make when it comes to co-ops is
this…
Let’s say you team up with a JV partner who buys a lot of solo ads and
does a lot of ad swaps.
Well, you can strike a deal where you’re both getting leads from all of the
traffic sources you’re both running traffic from.
He gets your leads from Facebook ads and you get his leads from solo
ads and ad swaps.
This can potentially double your lead flow overnight without lifting a
finger or spending any extra cash.
(So now you're potentially getting leads for .50 a pop instead of $1 if that
makes sense).
Sure it won’t be a totally even deal because one of you will generate
more leads than the other person, but we’re talking 100, 200, 300+
EXTRA leads added to your list daily without any extra work or ad
spend.
Combine it with building your list with Facebook ads and you'll be on
fire in 2014!
If you have any questions about co-ops, just post them in the
Listbuilding Club and we'll tackle it as a mastermind.
Last thing... don't abuse this info and don't make me regret telling you
about it.
Not everyone knows what a strategy session is, so let me explain that
real quick…
OK, now that you know that, here’s what I want to tell you…
Some did around $50,000 in sales (which I split with JV partners... and
not all that was profit... just to be totally transparent with you).
We always found that your positioning is strongest right when you have
a launch and your customers haven't yet forgotten how great your stuff
is.
First of all, I don’t necessarily recommend this shift unless it fits you
personally.
But I will tell you the reasons why I’m replacing sales webinars with
strategy sessions...
In 2013 we found the $497 pricepoint works really well for sales
webinars.
However, you normally can’t command the high ticket $3,000, $5,000, or
$10,000+ pricepoints very well on sales webinars.
And the only way you can do that is by holding strategy sessions and
finding out all about their business and problem areas first.
You find out all about the problems they are having (it's actually very
valuable to them to help them look at every part of their business too)
then you tailor a solution that solves those problems.
It’s really just a matter of asking a lot of questions about their business,
then coming up with a custom solution.
Make sense?
Reason #2: You can’t be selective with who you work with on sales
webinars.
If you’ve ever taught a class or done group coaching, then you know how
awful it can be to have just one bad egg amongst your customers.
That one bad egg causes trouble for weeks, then ends up asking for a
refund to boot.
(If you're in this situation and you sense someone is trouble, don't wait
for them to cause problems—go ahead and refund them and kick them
out of your program as nicely as you can).
With sales webinars and not being able to screen people before
accepting them into your programs, you end up with a lot of people who
just aren’t a good match.
For whatever reason, they joined your program from the sales webinar,
yet they don’t really need what your program offers.
And if you were on a one-on-one strategy session with them, you would
be able to identify what their TRUE needs are and you won't let them
into your program.
If you choose to pursue doing strategy sessions yourself, then that’s who
I recommend learning from.
Put me in a group and I go quiet and some people think I'm shy.
I can't get enough of that feeling of deep connectedness you get from
one-on-one conversation.
If you’re NOT using one of them, then you’re missing out on mid and big
ticket sales—where the real money is.
If all you’re doing is low end, I hope this is the year you break through to
charging higher prices because that alone can take you to the next level.
As we'll explore later in this report, higher prices can be THE key that
opens to the door to the next level.
I’m going to go tell you about something I’m building for 2014.
I think it’s the world’s simplest big ticket funnel, but let’s see what you
think…and as you know, I pride myself on making marketing as simple
and headache-free as possible.
The first part of this funnel is generating leads in the way I told you
about in the “Generate 100 Leads A Day With Facebook Ads In The
Internet Marketing Niche” section of this report.
On the video page/text page a timed popup will give the viewer a button
to go to auto-schedule a strategy session with me... (You could add an
opt-in form here if you really wanted to.)
On the strategy sessions I’ll make 4 to 5 figure sales the way we just
talked about in the section above… by finding out about the problems of
the people I’m talking to and tailoring custom solutions.
Believe it or not, it took a lot of work to simplify that funnel to those few
components.
I spent over a month trying to figure out how to make it simpler and
simpler.
Most big ticket funnels require an opt-in to a list, applications that need
to be filled out, a full-time scheduler to schedule the strategy sessions,
webinars and free video series to generate the applications, etc.
The way I’m setting up this funnel eliminates the need for any of that.
I’m not saying it’s better by any means, but I like to do less and make
more. (Don’t you?)
I feel like the more you can simplify your business and have less moving
parts, the less time and energy you need to put into it.
Let’s say you're holding a 3 day special offer to your own customers
only.
You not only promote to your e-mail list and other assets like your
Facebook group, direct mail lists, SMS lists, and any other channel
you've build lists with, but you also promote to custom audiences on
Facebook that are made up of your own customers.
This way, you’re hitting your customers via e-mail and through
Facebook ads at the same time, and guess what?
Right now your customers are likely on one of two places: either in their
inbox or on Facebook.
If you want to reach them, then hit them with e-mail plus Facebook ads
to customer custom audiences.
Make sense?
Then go to Power Editor inside Facebook and upload your customer list,
creating a custom audience on Facebook of only your customers.
(It amazes me that no one wants to take advantage of the free resources
Facebook gives you in regards to running ads.)
Now run right column and newsfeed ads only to your custom audience
made up of your own customers.
Use copy in your ad that identifies the offer is for your customers only.
For example…
And use a headshot picture of you so your customers will see you in
your ad.
Plus…
Also, in the last 24 hours of your special offer, put a countdown timer on
your sales page/landing page and create an ad that warns them that the
deal ends in less than 24 hours.
You can set your ads to expire exactly when your offer expires.
So you have e-mails and and these Facebook ads in the face of your
customers throughout your promotion.
One promotion I had with a JV partner in 2013 did 100+ sales at a $497
pricepoint from a 3-day only deal using this exact strategy.
(That’s over $49,700 in sales from a sales video by using this promotion
method.)
And if you have any questions about this strategy or if you get stuck
(with anything in this report), the post your questions in the
Listbuilding Club so we can answer them as a group.
Many people say the Listbuilding Club is more valuable than the
products they purchase.
I'm biased, but I also agree... I don't know where else you can interact so
easily with top listbuilders in the game.
Guys like Matt Bacak and Matt Gill are actively positing in the
Listbuilding Club, so you're a fool if you don't take advantage of it!
All of us in the Listbuilding Club want to see you kick butt and take
names in 2014!
I had a message pinned or taped in front of me all times that said “A.B.L.”
and I made sure that each day I did at least one thing for a product
launch.
(By the way, I found that the workload isn’t massive when you do just
one thing per day for a product launch. It’s really no more work than
anything else when you do it in chunks.)
In 2013 I mastered WSO product launches to the point where I got WSO
of the Day nearly every time… about 7 times in 2013.
I also taught this method to Matt Bacak who now gets WSO of the Day
almost every time he launches a product, so I know it works for others
as well.
You write a series of e-mails and each e-mail in the series tells one
benefit or one point about the product you’re about to launch.
Your goal is to “sell them” before you even reveal the sales page.
They will eagerly await the time when you make your offer go live.
Then when the product goes live, you only mail that early bird list.
In every case I’ve ever done this, it has caused an explosion of sales—
Notification of Payment Received e-mails piling up in my Gmail account.
EVERY TIME.
This is probably the only strategy I've developed that works every single
time—without fail.
By only promoting to this Early Bird List, you’re also only promoting to
people who are interested in the product, so your EPC rockets through
the roof.
And since your EPC rockets, your offer attracts affiliates in the
marketplace.
(I recommend launching your product using WSO Pro and set your offer
to a $7 dimesale that increases by 0.01 cent every 20 sales. And that
little pricing tip alone is worth far more than the cost of this report, in
my opinion).
They may plan to mail for it days in advance without any other
promotion of your JV pages.
Affiliates promote based on the merit of the product and also the EPCs.
Another tip: consider running FB ads to your Early Bird Sign Up page.
But there are also major perks of running traffic to a page where people
are opt-ing in because they are interested in BUYING a product.
I suggest you figure out the 4 most powerful things you could do each
day that fits well with your own business.
Daily Task #1: Run Traffic/Tweak Ads… Keep The Traffic Flowing
I find that if you slack on your traffic flow, then you start noticing it!
If you can keep just a mere 100 leads a day coming in, then that’s 36,500
new leads per year.
Assuming they are “high quality” leads and not crummy leads from
typical IM niche solo ads, for example, then you’re in good shape.
(You may need 500 to 1000 solo ad leads a day if you’re going the solo
ad buying route—that's if they are typical solo ads, because some are
excellent.)
The reason is because you can reach almost everyone in your market.
I'm not even saying to not use other traffic sources because they work
too.
I’m just saying that all you need is Facebook ads right now because it’s
so targeted and you have such a massive reach.
Will I probably stray, get bored, and start running PPV or testing
different things?
I'm like a chihuahua on crack (as my pal Charles Kirkland likes to say).
At the same time, however, LOGICALLY I know that I will better leverage
my time and resources if I only focus on Facebook ads—and at the same
time, be PREPARED to switch gears to another traffic source if
necessary.
However, this also brings up another point: Don’t rest on your laurels
just because you already have a list that’s bringing in the cheddar.
Sure, if you do things right, then you’ll have a core group of customers
who buy from you over the long term.
Just keep in mind that you constantly need to be adding fresh leads to
your lists so you can add more people to that group of core customers
(But NEVER at the expense of your current customers!)
So I’ll be doing at least ONE THING each day to keep traffic flowing in
and adding new leads to my list.
Look. If all you did with your business was launch, launch, launch—and
NOTHING else—it’s possible to have a highly successful business.
In fact, as far as I can tell… I’d say most people who are making 6 figures
per year or more are doing so just by launching products, growing their
syndicate of JV partners, and promoting back for their JV partners and
other offers as an affiliate.
They aren’t really driving traffic to their funnels any other way.
Equally... don't fret if you're not the expert because all you have to is find
the expert and team up with him.
It’s when you decide to cram it all into 3 days or 7 days when you burn
yourself out and it seems like too much stuff.
If you think about it, putting together product launches is no more work
than blogging in your blog every day.
They take about just as much time and energy each day when you
spread out the work properly.
1. To pitch a product.
4. To ask for feedback or simply ask people what they want. (This is
the easiest way to make money—just ask them what they want
then give it to ‘em.)
As well as mailing, I’ll post the same e-mail (just tweaked a little) to my
Listbuilding Club or on my fan page.
Fan pages have scheduled posts, so I often schedule e-mails and fan page
posts at the same time and far ahead of time.
You might be one of those people who cringes at the thought of picking
up the phone.
Truth is… Strategy sessions are VERY pleasant… WHEN you do them in a
low-key, non-salesy way.
You simply connect with the other person and try to help them get the
best outcome for them.
It’s not.
It’s only bad when you are thinking about what’s in it for you while
you’re on calls.
I find I enjoy the calls when I don’t even think about myself and I just
focus on helping, helping, helping.
You end up feeling very connected to the people you talk to and you feel
good about all the help you’re providing.
So… for me in 2014, I want to be on the phone more than doing anything
else during the day because I know it's the most profitable thing I can be
doing with my time every day.
What’s new, however, is the way I’ve taken them to the next level.
In case you don’t know what a Multi-Step Download Page (or multi-step
thank you page) is, let me explain…
If you’d like an example, simply go back and look at the download page
for the report you’re reading right now.
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
Step 4:
Steps 5 Through 7:
Point is, you accomplish much more with steps than you do with a
normal download page or thank you page.
You could even sell ad space to 6 of the 7 steps on your download page if
you want.
All you have to do is put a link there that says, “Place your banner here
for just $__” and make it link to a little sales page that sells the ad space.
Once you “seed” your Facebook group, you’ll find it grows all by itself
because Facebook recommends your group to members of other groups.
A Facebook group is one of the few things online that’s like a “living
organism” that grows all by itself.
It works like a 2nd list in that I can promote my own offers to the
members
Very few people leave the group so it’s not like a list where you
have tons of unsubscribes all the time.
Now here’s how to “seed” your Facebook group to get your initial 1000+
members…
2. Add a message about your group in the P.S. of every e-mail you
blast to your list
7. Nest a squeeze page at the top of your blog that promotes your
Facebook group like I do on these two sites: JasonParker.com and
JasonParkerInternetMarketing.com (I built my first list of 1000
subscribers back in the day by nesting a squeeze page at the top of
my blog like this... Now I pretty much only care about paid traffic,
but if you're short on doh, you can always use this method
because it works like a charm.)
Create a product that’s related to your strong proof element and you
probably won’t have trouble selling it.
Listen to your customers via e-mail and in your Facebook group, and I
promise you’ll “hear” ideas for products.
If you don’t have any customers yet, then go where potential customers
hang out, like forums, and see exactly what they’re talking about.
This is a great way to test to see if there’s interest in a product idea you
already have.
You can send an “I Need Your Help” e-mail to your list and ask who’s
interested in a certain type of product you’re thinking of creating.
Plus you can ask about their biggest problems they're having.
Especially when it comes to software ideas, you can look at the features
of current hot selling products and make endless combinations of
features (and endless software product ideas).
And it’s fun to spec out a piece of software with “a dash of this and a
dash of that.”
You can look at what’s selling and decide to come up with a piece of
software that gets the same result, but better.
Or you can make a more stripped down version and charge less.
Way #9: The End Result Tactic (“I Wish I Could __________”)
With this tactic you think of an end result you would like a product to
accomplish.
Focus on that end result and product ideas will start coming to you on
how to achieve that result.
Just write this question down on a piece of paper and think about it for a
few days, “How can I create a product that GETS YOU THIS PARTICULAR
RESULT?”
Take a look at what people want and create a new “mechanism” for
delivering what they want.
Before “Text Your Ex Back,” there were “Get Your Ex Back” type products.
The texting part is a new mechanism that allows you to get your ex back.
What’s stopping you from creating a poor man’s version of how to build
membership sites and sell it for a lower price?
The major launch has already heated up the market for you.
When all else fails, ask yourself, “How can I put together a totally insane
offer right now?”
Here’s what I did right… I started promoting and teaching $497 classes
(with a JV partner who already had skills in this area).
For example, 100 students makes you $49,700 just to show up once a
week for 8 weeks and teach a class.
Now, that doesn’t include the time and energy put into designing the
program or enrolling students into it—or the costs of generating new
leads to enroll into the class.
Why?
Because some of our classes in 2013 were popular while some didn’t do
as well as others.
It would’ve made more sense to make the most popular classes a rolling
process.
So when I have a hot class that seems to enroll people like magic, I'll
continue adding people to that class over the course of the year.
This means everyone in the class will get even more value, too, because
those who are already in the class will get extra weeks of group coaching
for free for as long as you’re enrolling more people into the class and
fulfilling at least 8 weeks of coaching with them.
Therefore, this adjustment not only makes sense financially for me, but
it also makes sense for helping students get even better results.
Another similar idea I’m tossing around for 2014 is having one mid-
ticket continuity program.
The idea is to take 20 to 100 people who pay you $497 per month to be
in your program.
You might meet 3 times per week in a group setting to fulfill it and that’s
about 12 sessions per month.
If you have just 20 people in your group, then that’s a consistent $9,940
per month in revenue.
If you max out at 100 people, then that's a consistent $49,700 per month
in revenue.
Anyone can throw around numbers, but the only number that matters is
net.
If you enrolled students into a program like this using strategy session,
then it wouldn’t be difficult.
And instead of having 5 different classes, for example, you can use a
rolling process where you enroll people consistently into your ONE class
where you charge $497 per month to spend 3 days a week with you in a
group setting—20 to 100 people only.
In fact, it makes THE difference in how easy it’s going to be for 4 figure
per month marketers to become 5 figure per month marketers in 2014.
This section of the report can be THE difference between you making 5
figures and you making 6 figures in 2014.
That’s why I really want to help you explore this area a little deeper
right now.
Let’s say they are buyers and have been proven to buy something related
to the kind of info products or software you sell.
Let’s say you want to go from 4 figures to 5 figures per month with
them.
If you roll out a $7 product, then you need to make 1,429 sales in order
to make $10,000.
So it’s not even possible to make $10,000 from a $7 product if your list is
1,000 subscribers.
They make SOME profit and affiliates send you a whole bunch of new
customers to add to your list, but you should never only promote or
create and sell ONLY $7 products.
Now... Let’s say you make an offer that’s at $497 (I’ve found this is an
AWESOME pricepoint right now as I’m writing this.)
And not only is it possible to pull off with a list of 1,000 high quality
customers, but it’s LIKELY to happen IF you give them an offer they
really need and want.
There are customers on your list right now who are looking for a
premium solution and won’t even touch low end $7 offers.
Then again, there are customers who buy both low end offers and
premium mid ticket solutions.
Got it?
There’s SOME money in low end offers, but the massive profits are in
higher pricepoints.
You can either bust your hiney trying to turn that 1000 list into 1,429 $7
customers (which is impossible)…
Or you can turn that 1000 list into a mere 21 $497 customers.
The difference between the level you’re on now and the next level may
totally be connected to the amount of money you’re charging.
I know that’s a very simple answer, but run the numbers and you’ll see
I’m right.
So if you're not currently making 5 figures monthly, then think about the
true reason why that may be...
It may have nothing to do with your e-mail writing skills or anything like
that.
It may TOTALLY have to do with the fact that you're only doing low end
offers.
If I happen to be at a higher level than you, then there may not be much
of a difference between my business and your business… but if you’re
only selling low end offers, then that would be the #1 reason why I’m a
level above you.
Once you start coming up with $497+ services and rolling them out, I’m
expecting you’ll leap to a whole new level almost overnight.
That’s what happens when you A) start offering mid and high ticket
services, and B) cultivate a group of core customers who buy, buy, buy
and can’t get enough of what you offer.
(If you’re only doing low end, then you’ll find the numbers to be around
80/20 instead of what they should be: 95/5, or 96/4, or 95/3, or 94/2,
or even 99/1.)
Make sense?
Out of a list of 10s of 1,000s of prospects and customers, it’s 100s that
generate 95% or more of your income... as crazy as it sounds.
(Promoting affiliate offers will kill your list faster than you can imagine…
If you don’t promote affiliate offers, then you can have buyers who
spend money with you for months or even years).
I got severely burnt out by never promoting affiliate offers in 2013 and I
was only creating my own products and services.
Sure you make more money by only releasing your own stuff and no one
else’s, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best way to do things.
I learned that the hard way by getting so burnt out that I almost quit
teaching internet marketing all together toward the end of 2013.
Building that group will help position you so you can charge higher fees.
My favorite type of e-mail to write for this sequence is one I’ve talked
about often called a “Bullet E-Mail.”
It’s where you take a bullet from your sales page and turn it into a single
e-mail.
I’d like to show you some specific examples of this because I believe this
strategy is one of the most powerful I’ve ever discovered.
I happen to have the bullets from the sales page you purchased this
report from on hand, as well as the anticipation building e-mail
sequence I sent out that created a sales explosion for this report.
I used this sequence to sell this report, which only cost a few measly
bucks, but honestly… this is the exact same e-mail sequence I would’ve
sent if the price were $497 or even $2000.

One of the things I show you is how to generate 100 Internet Marketing
niche leads per day with Facebook ads...
And that's just after reading 210 words of this report… as crazy as it
sounds.
I gotta say… I'm proud of myself (and feeling totally arrogant) after
coming up with this simple little, stripped down system.
If you're already generating 100 or more IM niche leads per day with FB
ads, then this report isn't for you.
But if you feel like all these FB ad courses are just causing more
confusion, more overwhelm, and more complexity, then…

Best,
The key is to build up so much anticipation that they are already sold on
what you’re offering before you even launch the product or service.
A note about promoting Early Bird List signup pages: If you want to
integrate affiliate marketing into this, it’s really easy.
All you have to do is place a banner on your thank you page that they’ll
see after they sign up (or have a mult-step thank you page as described
in the previous section on it.)
Your thank you page for your Early Bird Signup is also a great place to
promote your Facebook group.
Honestly, I wouldn’t mind having another year like 2013, and if you have
Ultimate 2013 Gameplan, then I’d recommend revisiting that sometime
because it’s EXACTLY what I carried out in 2013.
Goal #1: Swing For The Fences And Aim For Major Breakthroughs
That Are Also Low-Risk Or No-Risk
You can either follow what everyone else is doing and nothing else—no
more, no less.
Or… you can do what’s proven to work as well as discover new things
that work.
For example, what’s stopping you from adding an upsell to your funnel
for a service idea you have?
It won’t cost you anything by plugging it into the funnel you already
have to see if it works.
You can come up with a $2,000 offer, for example, and see who takes it.
Just a handful of those sales each month really skew your numbers for
the better.
And if it doesn’t work, who cares… you only spent a day writing a sales
page, right?
But if it DOES work, then you just made an extra $2,000, $4,000, $6,000,
or more this month.
I don’t want to be afraid of trying any weird idea I have in 2014—as long
as it’s ethical and low-risk or no-risk and the potential for massive
rewards.
Only problem is by September 2013 I got very burnt out, almost to the
point where I felt like quitting teaching internet marketing.
I did quit teaching for a little while, but I eventually snapped out of it
(that’s why you’re reading this report right now).
I don’t know if you can relate to that, but it’s a serious problem I have.
In 2013 I realized that the more time I spend on the phone, the more
people I help and the more money I make.
Think about who your #1 ideal customer is... who's the person who buys
everything you put out?
Who's the person who's always replying to your e-mails and connecting
with you in your Facebook group or any other way?
In fact, try your best to say things that will turn off the exact type of
customer you don't want to be dealing with.
In my ads I'll literally spell out who the product is for and who the
product isn't for.
I might say, “This May Not Be For You If:” and I'll list a bunch of bullets
that deflect people you don't want to deal with.
I also might say, “This May Be For You If” and I'll list a bunch of bullets
that speak directly to the ideal customer.
When you do this, you attract the type of customers who become super
fans, they'll get your back on the web, they'll cheer you on, they'll make
your day brighter, and they'll of course spend a lot of money with you.
I invite you to create your own 2014 Gameplan, summarize it and post it
in the Listbuilding Club.
I’d really like to see what you plan on taking from this report and
applying over the course of 2014.
Equally, if you want to keep your plans a secret, then I can respect that!
Last thing…
I figure I can take some of my e-mails and posts I make in 2014 and turn
them into a book by the end of the year.
At the same time, I'll end up with a kick-butt book to put on Kindle and
have a Kindle book launch toward the end of 2014.
Feel free to take what you want from this report for your own gameplan
and leave the rest.
