A while back I posted about Tribe marketing and how I believe that is the future when it comes to growing an online empire.

I am currently running many different experiments on different web sites to test out this strategy.  One of the sites is geared around the general topic of humour.

One of the methods I am using to grow my tribe for this web site is building a Twitter following.

I figured this would be a good place to start and just redirect people back to the web site to create traffic and build a list.

Well here are a few key items I have learned about Twitter.

1. It is completely useless to buy tweets. I purchased four Fiverr gigs to have my ad tweeted out and didn’t get a SINGLE response to any of the tweets that went out to over 100,000 Twitter followers. I guarantee the prices of Sponsored Tweets will continue to drop.

2. Twitter is saturated. Your Twitter account is like a radio station. You need to be constantly broadcasting in order to be heard. Otherwise you just get lost in a follower’s feed.

3. Don’t start following too many people in a short span. I tried following 20 people in a three minute span and Twitter auto-suspended my account. I had to log back in to my account, agree not to add too many followers at once and then they reinstated my entire account.

I have created a video below to show you some of the results I have achieved trying to grow the Twitter account for this website.

Feel free to leave your comments below.

Tim Godfrey and Steve Clayton recently released their BlueprintPro course and asked me if I would be interested in reviewing it.  I logged into the members area and have access to the first phase of four phases that will be delivered over four weeks.

The course is about building a long sustainable online business, which is really not possible with traditional affiliate marketing.  The course covers details about building assets such as email lists and web sites that will help you bring in sales, leads and commissions every month.

You don’t have that luxury of building assets when you are doing traditional affiliate marketing, which is direct linking to an affiliate offer and hoping to generate commissions.  The reason why this is not a good long-term strategy is that affiliate offers often come and go and if you are really just promoting a few offers, your business can disappear overnight with a single change (i.e. Google Penguin).

A few weeks ago, a good friend and smart marketer Mark Ling came to spend some time with me at my home to mastermind and do some strategic planning.  We decided to shoot some videos and I wanted to share one of them with you.

I think you will get a lot of value from the video because we talk about how you can get started in a new market and develop a game plan to make money in that market.

Please feel free to comment below.

Did you know that 80% of the success of your sales letter depends on how effective your headline is? It only makes sense to spend the majority of your “copywriting” time on creating headlines that grab your prospect’s attention and compel them to read the rest of your sales letter.

Effective headlines will always help you attract people to your product. Making an appealing headline for your product may be a challenging task. However, there are seven formulas that you can use to help you achieve this task easily.

1. Benefit Technique: Start by listing all the benefits of your product. From this list, pick the most attractive benefit your product offers. A headline which is centered on the most attractive benefit has a high chance of attracting more attention and interest than one which does not have a benefit.

2. Borrow It Technique: Secondly, use the ‘borrow it’ technique. This technique borrows formats, phrases, words and ideas from other headlines and incorporates them to suit. In this case, you take individual components from several existing headlines and repackage them by combining some features of each to form the ultimate hybrid. Never copy a headline word for word. This is an easy way to put together a solid headline in a few minutes.

3. Brainstorming Technique: Alternatively, you can use the brainstorming technique. Though it can be effectively done individually, it has the best result when it is done in groups. All participants should free their minds and let the ideas flow without limitations. Brainstorming can be best done when participants think of benefits to the customer and stick to descriptions of one to five words. They should try and think of single phrases or words that describe benefits of the service or product.

4. Power-Packed Technique: The power-packed combination is another effective formula for creation of sales headlines. A combination headline of this kind should include multiple combinations. For example, it can include a ‘benefit, offer and guarantee’ or a ‘benefit and an offer’. Since the options are plentiful in this situation, you should choose one that packs the biggest punch while working well in a particular situation. The result will be a headline that is three times more powerful than a normal headline.

5. Dream Technique: Another effective formula is delivering the dream. Prospects will always want an advantage and / or a better way of doing things. In most cases, they will be looking for solutions to problems and new alternatives that save effort, money and time. The idea of such a headline is transforming the product to an ideal answer for your prospects’ deepest aspirations and desires.

6. Testimonial Technique: Formula number six involves using your customer’s own words. Gather all feedback you may have gotten from your customers, because words of satisfied clients will always hold a lot of weight with prospects. A good testimonial headline is one that speaks to a prospect about something he really desires in a language he can understand.

7. Fill Blanks Technique: The seventh and last formula is filling in the blanks. This is the easiest approach for any person who is struggling with the other six formulas. In this case, you just need to get a few starters and fill in the blanks with the appropriate benefit, action word, expression or description. Some suggestions are: ___ reasons why you should ________ and How to ______ 100% guaranteed. You could fill in one of the blanks by stating: 10 reasons why you should use (name of product). You can use any of these seven formulas to ensure you create the best advertising headlines in the market.

I hope these seven formula tips help you write a more profitable sales letter. To learn more about writing effective sales headlines – Click Here

A few weeks ago I started split testing different variations of the sales page for my CPA Quantum video course.

This was especially important because I had just moved CPA Quantum to be sold on the Clickbank platform to attract more affiliates to start promoting it.

So I wanted to make sure that I was continually improving the sales page to maximize the earnings per click (EPC) for the affiliates.

I used to use Google web site optimizer for my split tests, but have recently switched for three reasons:

1. Google web site optimizer will no longer be around in a few weeks.

2. The stats were not in real-time.

3. I don’t trust Google.

I have been using a service called Visual Website Optimizer, which makes split-testing much easier than Google web site optimizer ever did.

I basically tested two variations of the sales video:

Variation 1 – Video with full controls.

Variation 2 – Video with only a pause function when somebody clicked on the video.

The second variation where the prospect could only pause the video and not fast forward the video outperformed the control by 3 to 1.

This basically means that the second variation outperformed the first variation by 300%!

Now, I know that many of you including myself sometimes cringe when we see videos like this, but that stats don’t lie.

The video with only a pause function simply converted better in this test.

You may hesitate to do this with your own sales videos, but you need to put your Internet marketing hat on and take off your consumer hat.

If you want to increase your own conversions, running a similar test may yield the same results.

Basically you might triple your sales.

Are you still cringing?

The reason for the dramatic rise in conversions is quite simple. You are basically forcing the prospect to consume the entire sales message, which eventually converts the prospect into a customer.

I use a program called Flowplayer to stream my sales videos and you can download it at:

http://flowplayer.org/download/

This is an example of what you code should look like to eliminate video controls except the ability to pause.

<!– this A tag is where your Flowplayer will be placed. it can be anywhere –>

<a href=”http://yourdomain.com/yourvideo.mp4″

style=”display:block;width:640px;height:380px”

id=”player”>

</a>

<!– this will install flowplayer inside previous A- tag. –>

<script>

flowplayer(“player”, “http://www.yourdomain.com/flowplayer/flowplayer-3.2.5.swf”,{

plugins: {

// disable autoloading of the controlbar plugin

controls: null

},

// disable the “overlay play button” (for some reason this does not work in this forum)

// play: null,

// prevent pausing

onBeforePause: function() {

return true;

},

// make the video loop

onBeforeFinish: function() {

return false;

}

});

</script>

I plan to run this test a little longer to see if the statistics hold steady and then will eventually test what I personally hate most… a sales video WITHOUT any controls.

If the conversion rate once again rises, who am I to complain. 😉
