Internet Marketing Product Launches Can Be Tedious

Image via CrunchBase

 

Hey there

It’s Bob.

So, Mike Silva and I have been working tirelessly on creating a product
launch, for the most part will create quite a stir on the Internet.

Don’t worry, I’m not selling you anything in this email, I just want to
explain what we go through when we do something bigger than ourselves.

The launch is for a Warrior Special Offer (WSO) on the Warrior Forum. Over
the past week, Mike has re-written the entire Content Multiplier in e book
format, 100% revised

Step one complete

Step two was, figure out what we could give as AMAZING value for all who
purchase.

That was simple, so we added Master Resell Rights for anyone who purchases
so they can also sell it and keep 100% of the profits.

Our second component to the product was to go WAY overboard with value, so
we are giving each person who purchases the Content Multiplier access to
the recorded WEST Archives… and the rights to give it away when they
resell the Content Multiplier, as well as they can transfer over MRR to the
product as well.

Step two complete

Next up was to get a serious review of our product. Not asking for a bunch
of testimonials or asking people to promote our stuff, but a serious
critique of the product. So we asked the veterans in the Industry, Willie
Crawford, Paul Counts and Micheal Savoie.

We didn’t expect the response (by the way, this is a long email that is
laying out an entire launch strategy so you may want to print it up and
save it, keep reading)

===================================
Willie Crawford’s Response

===================================

Hi Bob,

I actually LOVED your product and look
forward to promoting it. Please let me
know when it’s up as a WSO since I don’t
get over to The Warrior Forum as often as
I use to.

Willie

If you need a testimonial, here’s one:

Bob, The Content Multiplier certainly lives
up to it’s name.

Anyone can take this step-by-step blueprint,
create high-quality content, distribute it in
literally hundreds of places that MATTER, and
pull in traffic from all over the internet.

You pointed out resources (most of them 100%
free) that it would take the average content
marketers YEARS to stumble across on their own.
I’ve been creating articles, ebooks, books,
videos, audios, press releases, etc. for 15 years
now, and you showed me a ton of resources that I
hadn’t noticed, and will definitely use.

Since you teach people how to actually create
and distribute quality content, it’s going to
attract pre-sold visitors, and the websites
that you distribute the content on (as well as
the search engines) are going to love this
content for a long time.

Thank you for laying out a plan that will work
long-term. A person can focus on implementing
your blueprint KNOWING that it will work today,
and more-importantly, that their efforts will
continue paying off long into the future.

Paul Counts Response

Hey Bob,

Thanks for sharing this. That is one awesome report! Here is a testimonial
from me that you can use:

=====BEGIN TESTIMONIAL=====

“This report is full of meat and actionable content! If you take action on
this simple strategy you can’t help but see traffic no matter what niche
you are promoting. I have used similar methods before to get massive
traffic, but I haven’t used everything mentioned here in this report so I
know I was leaving good traffic on the table.

I will be recommending this to my subscribers and coaching students. It is
an incredible ebook. I found that it was easy to read, follow, and
implement. Even though many consider me an expert on traffic generation I
still learned some things in here!

Here are just 2 easy ways to act on the content in side.

1) Just hand this report to your virtual assistant and have them go to town
as it is very well explained. If you are someone that is running out of
things to have your outsourcers do than hand them this report!

2) Sell this service to offline businesses for $750 to $1,000 each and
watch their jaws drop when they get multiple first page listings. You would
become the hot commodity in your town if you implemented this method.

I am not getting paid to say this, but I just get behind products that work
and that are full of quality content!

For the price you can’t beat it! Grab it now!”

—-> Paul Counts

=====END TESTIMONIAL=====

I will also be glad to promote this to my email lists as well. Let me know
when you launch it or are about to so I can get the affiliate link and send
out for you.

Thanks,

Paul

Micheal Savoie’s Response
=================================

Looking Good!

Testimonial:
Bob & Mike! First of all, I wanted to thank you for the review copy of
Content Multiplier. This is really good material! I have been using a
portion of these tools for turning my content into traffic, but you have
put this into a blueprint that anyone can follow (I especially like the way
you broke it down into days for those of us who like to schedule
everything) so that content will no longer be an issue. Once I started
following the steps, I immediately found that I had way more content than I
had ever created while still working the same amount of time. This
impressed me a lot! I hope to be able to discuss this with the listeners on
my show very soon!

Anyone buying Content Multiplier will only need to do one thing to get
measurable results: Take Action! With everything laid out step by step,
they have no excuses.

Thanks for a product that does not insult the intelligence of the marketers
who want more content to drive traffic to their money sites. I look forward
to teaching an outsource team to do all of these tasks and really make my
business take off!

======================================================
We also got a FANTASTIC video response from Cate Ferguson
======================================================

Step Three: Complete | RAVING testimonials from a student and leaders in
our industry as well as, a responsible review of the product.

Not only did these folks review the product, they asked if they could
promote it, which is a bonus that takes us into our next phase:

Step Four: Have leaders in our industry JV on the Launch Thursday, November
17th at 9 am EST ( Ah… COMPLETE!)

Finally, there was a process that happens before the launch and that is the
website.

That includes:

1.Sales page submitted for approval to ClickBank to have the affiliate
program hosted by ClickBank (not a simple submission there!)

2. Get post approved on the Warrior Forum as a WSO (easypeasy)

3.JV Invite Page so affiliates could have promotional material, know what
the product is about, what the commission rate is and when the launch day
is. Here’s an example of a simple affiliate page (feel free to sign up:)
http://thewestprogram.com/contentmultiplierwso/cmjv.html

4.Graphics for the pages (SumoPaint ROCKS!)

5.Download page for product, product download link, bonus download link and
email autoresponder update form

6.Create and test an affiliate link, test the merchant process, test the
product download, test customer followup emails, test ar followup messages

The next step is activating the ClickBank listing and then the wso.

Then we had to create a PHP redirect to make sure the CB links point to the
WSO and not our main website (tricky and techy)

Finally, we go live and then post an FAQ in the form, a way for people to
become affiliates and play the support game for the next week!

WHY oh WHY am I telling you all of this? Because doing business on the
Internet takes work, communication, quality and detail.

Imagine if we would have started just picking away at this blindly!

There is great thought, detail and a lot of steps that go into an Internet
business, especially in a product launch.

But… when you just do one step, then another, then another and
communicate to others when you need help… it becomes simple.

We’re going to open the Forum inside the WEST program (I just have to
create an instructional video) so that you can communicate with others
while you are working on your business.

There is absolutely NO solicitations permitted in the forum, it’s a place
to strategize, communicate and workout issues and solutions.

I do hope you found value in this email and that you are prepared to take
on the responsibility of having a REAL business. Sometimes the guru guys,
or even me and Mike make this stuff seem really easy.

Well, that just goes back to my old motto, “Simple Does NOT Equate to
Easy:)”

Take care and we’ll be sending some really GREAT new WEST content real
soon!

Ciao

Bob

P.S. Today is the last day for sign up in my retirement workshop:
http://internetstrategymentor.com/interwebslabs.html I’d love
to share this time with you, as it IS a very special day for me.

Bob Yeager here. I hope you enjoyed my video on leaving digital footprints and online identity protection. Trust me, I’ve had everything hacked from emails, to blogs, to paypal accounts and credit cards. I’ve also experienced the occasional bans from different networks for “too much” marketing. So, I created this video to help out and the resources I talked about in the video are linked below:

After I posted this to my blog, I was getting ready to submit this post to digg.com. Just as I was about to post the submission, I searched the term “Clearing the Confusion of Internet Marketing” in Google. Guess what I saw?

Alright, so that was a nice little unexpected treat. But that’s sort of what I’m getting at here. Small little actions you learn throughout the WEST Program can get you big results. By the way, since I posted that… Google is already sending me traffic to my blog because of that post… pretty cool.

So, if you’d like to clear the confusion of internet marketing either, go through WEST and figure out what works best for you, or if you do not have a membership to the WEST Program, get one here www.TheWESTProgram.com

As I sat this morning, and thought about Brent’s confusion, I consider that others may be facing the same confusion of Internet marketing and I could possibly clarify what you should focus on and why some things that I do NOW… are different compared to what you should do at the start of your internet business and what your business model’s needs are.

Hope this video helps and thank you, Brent, for sending your awesome questions. I know the other WEST students appreciate it as much as I do.
