I am loving these annual PLR autoresponder packs I’m creating. The first one on dieting has sold well, and today I launched a new one on Stress. This topic crosses boundaries into many niches, so it’ll be good for people catering to moms, eBayers, homeschoolers, businessmen and women – you name it!

Each pack comes with 52 weeks of emails, a 5-page opt int report, and squeeze page graphics made by Sean at MiniSiteGraphics.com. I sell the packs for $57 ($1 a page with free graphics), but I always launch them first in the Warrior Forum for $37 per pack, as you can see here: http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=195635

I’m getting a lot of great feedback from customers on what niches they need these autoresponder series for. Keep the requests coming!

PS – Someone recently emailed me from this blog about my cancer scare. Your email went to my spam box and I hit delete right as I realized it was a personal message, so if I didn’t respond, re-email me. Sorry about that!

Awhile back I humiliated myself by attempting to sell my eBook on eBay. It’s laughable now, but it wasn’t so funny when I thought I was going to make a lot a lot of money since I always heard about others raking it in with digital downloads on eBay.

I had nothing to go by, so I just set it up just like I did my previous auctions whenever I’d clean out the closets and post used items instead of holding a garage sale Since I had ZERO sales of my eBook, I quit and never looked back.

Then a guy named Lee gets ahold of me in the Warrior Forum and asks if I’ll review his eBook, Auction Profits Unleashed. I had no interest in eBay because I don’t like anything to do with physical products, but this isn’t what he’s promoting – it’s a list-building tactic within your niche specifically.

He made the extra effort to send me a free copy, so even though I figured I wouldn’t do the testimonial (no time), I opened it and found myself sucked in – really. Great writing lured me into the text but it also flowed logically and made SENSE! (You honestly don’t know how many testimonial requests I get where the product is 100% crap – and this is even from some BIG names – and I’ve ruined a few relationships by not reviewing and promoting their products – have you ever seen me involved as part of those big launches? – but oh well!)

So what I’m going to do is implement Lee’s system – the way everyone’s really using digital downloads on eBay – and I’ll track my progress here. I’m going to do it based on my Squidoo eBook and I think it’ll be PERFECT for the eBay crowd, as would any other niche like parents, brides, etc.

What I love about Lee’s method is that it works with Private Label Rights (in case you’re not a writer), affiliate products, eBooks, or other forms of digital downloads. Any marketer wanting to build a list can use this. So keep an eye on this blog! If you want to check out Lee’s system or learn more about it (actually READ the sales letter – it explains quite a bit), he set up a specific page for me that gives my friends a discount, so you can find that here: http://www.auctionprofitsunleashed.com/tiffanyspecial.htm

Let me know what you think about it, too – or if you’ve used something similar in the past. I can tell you right now that if you like my eBooks, you’ll love Lee’s – he’s great about conveying thoughts and detailing the steps so you’re not confused.

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post to the blog. I was busy writing various things for my business, but in particular, I wrote a free PDF report called Intimidation Marketing. Giving this report away gave me two options – require an opt-in or set it loose without any requirments for access.

Since it’s been a hot topic as of late, I decided to try releasing it as is, with no opt-in necessary. I wanted to see if the report gave me any opt-ins using a single link at the end of the report where I blatantly told the reader they could opt into my list and receive future updates from me.

As I’m getting ready for the completion and launch of my new eBook, A Writer’s Guide to Internet Marketing, I started thinking that I needed to start compiling names for a list of potential customers – writers who want to learn the business side of selling info products on the ‘net.

I didn’t have anything to offer them yet, but was working on a freebie for freelance writing. Instead of pushing my list building opportunity to the back burner while I finished yet another task, I did something a little different – gave away the first chapter of my soon-to-be-released product.

I don’t like boxes flying all over my screen when I’m trying to read someone’s sales page. Some of them even make me chase them around with my mouse until I can capture the microscopic X to close the screen. Some even have opt ins once you’re already on the list!

But I do see the value in having a static opt in box on your site – a way to capture the contact information of visitors. Some marketers are walking a thin line with their opt-in mania, and they’re driving traffic to others who take more care in how they accumulate their lists.
