I’ve been working on several new projects and one of my  favorites is the new Roller Coaster Sale!

Who Says You Can’t Have Fun AND Save Money?

I know how important it is to have a complete package of products, tools and resources at your fingertips in order for you to make any real money on the internet, and that’s why I’ve created the Roller Coaster Sale for you.

I’ve decided that the “Premiere” Roller Coaster Sale will focus on Video Products!

Video is by far one of the hottest topics for online marketing, and many people are afraid to “take the plunge” into video… but I hope that the Ultimate Video Package will give you the confidence you need to try it for yourself.

I’ve included 20 (twenty!!) video-related products – software, scripts, ebooks – all carefully selected to help you learn all you need to know about getting your videos online… and more!

And YES – many of these products come with Master Resale Rights – and some even have Private Label Rights!

Check it out right now – the sale truly IS limited. (I will be taking it down in only a few days!)

If you’re not using video in your marketing campaigns, you’re simply not maximizing your optins, conversions, or sales.  You ARE missing the boat.

It’s time consuming.  It can be complicated too.  In fact, I’ve produced many of my own videos but they never quite turn out exactly the way I would like.

Well…take a look at what I just discovered:

iFlash Video produces 100% Custom video productions with voice over and for a very limited time, they are opening a private members area for people like you and I to get studio quality promotional videos for crazy cheap… I’m talking under 50 bucks.

Take a look at what they’re putting together.  Once you see this video, I’ll be willing to bet that you’ll be on the waiting list just like I am.

I can’t wait for this to open up!

I recommend that you check this out and get on the waiting list too.  When they open up their private membership it will b extremely limited…after all, they are custom crafting all of these video productions from scratch.  They can literally only take on so many clients.

Take a look at this video.  You’ll see why I’m so excited.

The doors to the private members area opens on Feb 16th.  Thousands of people are being invited but they are only accepting a few hundred people in.  I highly recommend you get on this waiting list.

I was reading a rant by another blogger who was annoyed by those who were copying his content into their websites without giving him the proper accreditation. He was looking for a solution to his problem, something different than Copyscape… and boy, did he find it!

There’s a great new FREE tool called Tynt Tracer (currently in expanded beta) that covertly tracks those who copy even just a little of your content… and adds YOUR link to the copied material!

Seriously… This Is The Coolest Thing!!

Check out this short demo video:

Let me know if you find this as awesome as I do!

When he put together his Birthday Blowout, I was shocked by his generosity. After all, many of those products he was giving away free  are sold for excellent money every day!

When he decided to follow up with yet another mind-blowing offer, I knew he was nuts. For sure.

If you’ve not taken a look yet, go and see it now: Absolutely Nuts Offer :: ICGM
(I’ll wait…)

Back? Good.

Stunned, aren’t you? (grin)

I remember when he began putting it together, he had a fantastic package all put together and then he just… kept ADDING MORE. AND MORE.

AND MORE!

Sincerely, it’s almost ridiculous how much is included.

If you have ANY desire to make some serious cash in 2009 – scratch that… if you want to start making real income within the next 3 months, you HAVE to get this.

And for this price? Man, you’d have to be crazy NOT to take it and run!

The spaces are filling up, and I KNOW Tony would prefer that true Blakers were the ones who benefit, but if you snooze, you lose! There are only a total of 51 spots available…

Go right now and check out the sales page, see all he has included. You’ll be blown away, I promise!

Absolutely Nuts Offer :: ICGM

***I’ll let you in on a little secret…***

Tony and I have been business partners and very close friends for over a year, and he just spent two weeks with me here in Canada to put some projects together and pack this offer full of value. I can personally vouch for the fact that you will be completely astonished by everything you’ll get – including “unadvertised” stuff… he just never stops!!

Don’t waste a single moment more…

Make 2009 an explosive year for you and your business… Tony can truly help you do it.

Have a wonderful New Year!

Absolutely Nuts Offer :: ICGM

Tony Blake is truly nuts.

I should know. I spend all my time with him!! (LOL!)

Right now he is giving away 51 gifts to give you.. absolutely FREE…

You see, he’s celebrating his 51st birthday (late, I might add!) and decided to reward you with a whole pile of great gifts I know you’ll enjoy, learn, use and profit from… and these aren’t junk gifts either…

Unfortunately the birthday celebration almost didn’t happen! In fact, you should have gotten the gifts over 4 weeks ago, but life is often funny and things get in the way…

But not today!

Right now I want you to visit the following website. When you get there, you’ll find a video where Tony explains how you can get your hands on the 51 gifts he wants to give you…

Plus he’s also going to show you how you can continue to get weekly gifts from him all year round! He’s gone absolutely nuts putting this together for you… and my pain is your gain (trust me, I personally put a lot of work into this puppy!) and you’re going to like what he’s put together…

Okay, get ready to grab your gifts… here’s the link:

Tony Blake’s Absolutely Nuts Birthday Giveaway!

He’s never done anything like this before and may never do this again (trust me on this), so don’t miss out on his incredible giveaway…

Oh, and when you get your gifts you’ll also find out about something very rare that he’s doing designed to push you forward in your marketing career and make a big difference in 2009…

So, don’t delay… here’s the link again:

Tony Blake’s Absolutely Nuts Birthday Giveaway!

Grabbing these gifts is like robbing Ft. Knox… there’s tons of gold in what he’s put together for you…

I don’t know how long he’ll have the doors to this celebration open so I wouldn’t delay… I don’t want you to miss out…

Video squeeze pages (when done right) can be one of the most powerful, effective ways to build a list in a very short time.

Not sure what a “squeeze page” is? A squeeze page is another word for “landing page”, and applies to pages designed to collect a visitor’s name and email while providing something enticing in return.

Things like ebooks and ecourses have been popular squeeze page gift items, and to some extent they still work – depending on the perceived value of the item. I personally still use these types of offers on my niche squeeze pages all the time.

But the bar continues to rise when it comes to collecting names on squeeze pages. The constant assault of spam that hits everyone’s inboxes make people reluctant to sign up for anything online. As marketers continue to pile on the free stuff (especially in the internet marketing niche) to entice people to fill out their forms, we’re all faced with something referred to as “moving the free line.”

This refers to coming up with increasingly bigger and better, more valuable items to give away if you want your visitors to give up their email on a traditional squeeze page.

Video squeeze pages can actually capture visitor information without giving anything away for free!

A video squeeze page can play on your visitors’ natural curiosity. Pique their interest… and provide the solution they crave, which is revealed in part 2 of your video on the “other side” – without any additional “freebies” required!

Video squeeze pages do take a bit more work than the traditional squeeze pages we’re so familiar with. Fortunately, the tools to make videos are built right into modern computers.

Graphic designers have begun to include attractive video pages in standard sizes as a “must” in their template packages… including my own! You can see the latest offering here: Graphics With Impact 2008 Blowout Package

It has never been easier to put video on your websites!

Focus on the structure for your video, where the answer to your visitors’ compelling problem  is revealed in a second video, which is on a page visitors reach only after they’ve opted in to your list.

Leave your visitors eager to see what happens next and you’ll see a marked increase in your conversion rate, higher than you ever could by simply giving away an ebook.

If you’re paying a lot for your traffic and leads, you want to ensure that you’re getting the best conversion rates possible.

A good first impression is CRITICAL to branding you and your product and making your customers trust you enough to give you their money.

This incredible package covers every angle – and more!!

Graphics With Impact 2008 Blowout Package

Not only are you going to see the most original and wildly complete package you’ve likely ever seen, but you’ll also be the first to get a look at something truly brand-new… and I hope you take advantage of it!

Video is hot, but streaming video is even hotter. This package will put you head and shoulders above your competitors.

And with LIMITED NUMBERS AVAILABLE, you’ll dominate in your niche.

Read the whole thing… by the time you’re halfway through, your jaw will drop!

Graphics With Impact 2008 Blowout Package

I can recall back in the internet “olden days” when discussion groups were the only way to communicate with a group of people. The old bulletin boards were populated by the true die-hard computer geeks, when internet marketing was still just a baby.

I wish I knew then what I know now!

The real advent of group communications came along for mainstream internet use with forums… the original social networks. These wonderful tools for communicating with the masses exploded into every niche, allowing people from all over the globe to connect, converse and share.

There are several forums in the Internet Marketing niche that have stood the test of time: the Warrior Forum, the Anthony Blake Forum, and a handful of others are the few who were vibrant, active forums before the year 2000. These forums are the cornerstones on which many marketers build their internet empires!

In the fall of 2007, I brainstormed with a group of spectacularly brilliant marketers – one of which was the legendary Tony Blake. In a dazzling session filled with hypothetical ideas, wishes and enthusiasm, an idea formed in Tony’s mind… and that idea was to take his old-fashioned forum of 15 years and redefine what an Internet Marketing Forum should be in the 21st century!

Through months of research, planning and development, a new era in Internet Marketing Forums was born… there were many sleepless nights and excitement continued to build as “launch day” approached!

On March 12th, 2008, the brand-new Anthony Blake Online – Entrepreneurial Success Forum made it’s debut to the delight and amazement of it’s long-time, online community.

The ABlakeForum has leaped into the 21st century with features like user-embedded video, audio and images; a dedicated social network, exclusive “Members Only” content, frequent contests and prizes, social bookmarking and submissions, the ability to use affiliate links in signature files, increasingly lively discussions without worry of being deleted, zero tolerance SPAM security enhancements, expert-moderated forums in several internet marketing related categories, and so much more!

And the best is yet to come!! I know of several new features being primed for release this month alone… and all of it geared to helping you profit from your internet business!

How do I know all of this?

I’m one of three Admins on the forum – Tony Blake himself, of course, who keeps a close watch over everything; then there’s me, and my focus is on Development/Design; and Terry Crim the Technical Administrator, who’s expertise keeps the forum running smoothly, efficiently and securely.

If you haven’t yet registered at the ABlakeForum, now is definitely the time! There are so many features coming your way, several of which will be in “Members Only” areas that I’d hate to see anyone left out! Oh, and did I tell you – membership is FREE? That’s right…

Over the past 6 months, there’s been a decided decrease in forum participation across the internet. With quicker, easier ways to communicate like social networks, and those with instant gratification and feedback, such as Twitter, many of the mainstream forums have been discouraged by the lack of visitors.

I’ve watched some of the more popular forums struggle with implementing new ideas, yet there is still a general discontent with the way things are… holding onto what worked in the past is often a recipe for failure in the future if there is no room for growth and change.

But not at the ABlakeForum!

We’re happy to report a steady increase in visitors and traffic – far greater than we could have hoped for or expected only months after the re-launch! Our membership is growing daily, and we’re attracting some of the most brilliant marketing minds around to share and educate.

I hope to see you there! We’d love to hear your feedback, and we’re excited to roll out the newest features of this 21st century marketing forum over the summer. Don’t miss out! Sign up FREE today!

In recent months, there has been a notable increase in marketers talking about “moving the free line”, and generally instructing new marketers to give away valuable content to build their lists, in order to create customers in the future.

On the surface, there seemed to be some value in this advice. After all, there are giveaways popping up daily, free reports everywhere… all with the intention of obtaining that all-important email address on a double opt-in form.

I decided to test this theory. (This is a simplified version)

I am creating a product for a niche I have been active in for some time. (Sorry, I am not going to reveal the niche; suffice it to say that it’s as competitive as the IM niche). The product I am developing contains useful software, a detailed info product on pdf, an audio version of the info product and a video showing how to use the software along with the info product.

I will create one other product of similar value and structure, and two reports with additional, related advice and tips.

I’ll purchase two very similar domain names, created two websites. One website to give away the product for free, just for opting in to my list.

The other will be a basic sales page using similar language, but charging $67 for the product. Upon successful payment, the customer will be directed to the download page which includes an opt-in form for the same newsletter.

I will employ the exact same marketing strategies to each site. I’ll drive traffic, use PPC, post in related forums, create articles – all the usual things.

The opt-in will enroll each subscriber in to a seven part email series as follows:

1. (immediate delivery) A thank you for downloading the product, along with their download link in case they weren’t redirected after payment/signup.
2. (two days later) A repeat of the benefits of the product, and encouragement to take action with it. I’ll also include a link to download one of the two reports I am creating as an additional bonus.
3. (three days later) Pure content, highly related to the product and includes several valuable resources for more information.
4. (three days later) Again, pure, actionable content.
5. (three days later) Give away the second bonus report. This bonus report is a lead-in to the second product, and in fact has links inside taking them to the product sales page.
6. (three days later) Again content, leaving off with a teaser at the end about how a specific problem talked about would be solved in the next email and to watch for it.
7. (sent out two days later) Purely promotional, sending subscribers to the sales page for my second product. This product will be priced at $47.

Can you predict what my results will be?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!!

If there’s anything I really appreciate it’s someone who says what he thinks – no holds barred. I really enjoy fresh perspectives that are driven by the sincere wish to educate, and better still, when their opinion coincides with my own.

Rick Butts just posted a video about the “Worst Internet Marketing Advice He’s Ever Heard”, and it’s right on the money, in my opinion.

Rick’s recent blog post “Unsubscribe From Whomever Emailed You Stompernet” back in mid-May was a great discussion-starter. It’s entirely useless to be subscribed to endless lists that regurgitate cut-and-paste emails for every promotion under the sun.

These types of emails tell me two things:

1. The person who wrote (cut-and-pasted) the product owner’s supplied email has not bothered to review the product/service themselves; if they had, they would have supplied me with their own personal assessment.
2. The person who sent this email couldn’t even be bothered to spend a few moments to personalize it, which generally means to me that they are not interested in educating or providing products targeted to their list – they are simply looking for a quick buck.

While it’s not a bad idea to subscribe to a list if you think you may get value from it, don’t be afraid you’ll “miss something” by unsubscribing if they are simply spewing duplicate emails that clog up your inbox.

The advice that Rick made his rant video about – subscribing to every list you can find – is a ridiculous waste of your time. Find and follow those who share your values, provide excellent content/advice, and most importantly, fit with the goals you’ve set out for your business.

After 19 years he’s back and ready to rock-and-roll once again — The new “Indiana Jones” movie opened today and to celebrate the return of this intrepid adventurer we decided to hold a special “members” only event…
