I just got an email about this and wanted you to check it out.

If you have a product and want to sell more of it (and I mean A LOT more of it), without you having to do much of anything at all, then please read this right now. I know, I know… this is already sounding borderline ‘hypey’. But, this is for real.

But, be forewarned… this is EXTREMELY time-sensitive (everything seems to be these days )

A new site called DealDotCom is launching on September 18 that is set to explode to monstrous proportions. Those who get in early (including you), will get the most benefit.

What is DealDotCom exactly?

Think… QVC for Internet Marketing products.

Think… Great deals on a different product, 365 days a year.

Think… 10,000+ affiliates instantly promoting your stuff.

Before you forget, go submit your product for review right now. Well there’s no time like the present!

It will only take a few minutes. The sooner you get your product in, the sooner you will generate a 24 hour payday like nothing else.

Here’s the link. Go check it out:

P.S. - My product is already queued for promotion later this month. It won’t cost me a dime. I am expecting a massive amount of sales within a 24 hour period. You can do the same once you submit your product and it is approved.

Okay, I probably shouldn’t say this but I am mad as hell! Alright, not mad but maybe a little envious. There’s a guy named Jermaine Griggs that is showing off how much money he’s made selling an ebook about teaching

people how to play piano by ear.

Normally, I would ignore peoples earning claims but since I have heard of the things that he’s doing through SEVERAL people I trust, I paid closer attention. He’s opening up a coaching club next month called Nitty Gritty Marketing where he is going to show you how that little ebook made over $3,000,000 in the last 5 years and how you can do the same. Click here to check out the video.

Now what make me just a tad bit jealous is that he turned 24 not to long ago! 24! What makes it inspiring is his story and what he did to get to the position where he is today.

This doesn’t launch until October 23rd but I wanted to give you a heads up so you can get ahead of the pack. The bonuses are beautiful! Stay tuned.  As I get more information I will pass it on. In the meantime, you can get a preview of the program by heading over to NittyGrittyMarketing.com. Be sure to sign up to get on the notification list.

Later.

I just wanted to chime in really quick to let you know about a free service called Bloglines. I was turned on to it through Ed Dale’s 30 day challenge and quickly fell in love with what it can do.

If you are like me, you read a lot of blogs in the industries that you are in to stay on top of what’s going on. The problem is that I hate going to dozens of different sites/forums to do this. Bloglines help me keep track of all those sites in one place. It uses the RSS feeds to keep track of when new information is added.

I set up Firefox to run seamlessly with Bloglines so that every time I find a site with an RSS feed I want to keep track of, I just click the RSS icon on the site, in the navigation pane, or click on the RSS URL.

I’ll make a video for you in the next couple of days showing how Bloglines works and how it can help you consume massive amounts of information quickly and in one place! Oh yeah, did I mention that it is completely free?

Oh yeah, shameless plug coming, be sure to add my RSS feed to your Bloglines account when you sign up! </plug>

Matthew Glanfield is the main guy behind this product. He is a well know internet marketer in the area of affiliate marketing. You can get a sample of what his squeeze page looks like by clicking here.One of the best things that any software company can do to market their product is to give away a free version or offer a cheap trial version. They do both here.

The free version, as you may expect, is very limited in scope. Not from them stripping away any cool features but for how often you can use it. It allows you to create only 1 squeeze page. If you are like me than 1 is no good because I have multiple squeeze pages on multiple sites. If you have a very limited internet presence, you could probably survive with just one. (Not for long, though. . .)

The next step up is the $1, 14-day trial. Here you can create an unlimited number of squeeze pages for anything you want. You don’t even need a website! (I’ll get to that later) After the 14 day trial, you are charged a monthly fee for the service. They host all of your squeeze pages for you at no additional cost. (Have a link forward to your squeeze page, HINT, HINT!)

Okay, down to the nitty gritty. How does it all work!

Your Squeeze Page has a 8 step process to creating your squeeze pages. It is very easy to follow and requires no advanced technical know how. Each step is also accompanied by a video tutorial showing exactly what you need to do. So if you are smarter than me, and you probably are, you probably won’t have any trouble building your first page at all.

It also give you the ability to use your own autoresponder! If you have an account with Aweber, 1shoppingcart, or Get Contact, you are in business. Those are the only three that they currently support but the mentioned adding more in the future. I personally use Aweber because it has the best email deliverablility.

Probably the best feature is the testing capability. This gives you the ability to test different elements of the page to improve conversions. The system will take two, or more, headlines you create and show them to different visitors. It tracks which headline it showed to each person so they see just the one. I then shows you how many people opted in on each version.

After a period of time, you can see which headline gave you better conversions and toss the one that didn’t perform as well. Can you see the power in that? You can also test pictures, audio, video, bullet points, testimonials, etc. You can probably get carried away testing your page so keep it in moderation.

Here are some things that could be improved.

Your Squeeze Page does not give you a lot of space to add content. Although what they go give is more that sufficient for most situations if you wanted to do more advanced functions, you would probably be better served by creating a template that you would subsequently host on your own servers. Again, that is for more advanced internet folk.

Also, the testing feature doesn’t allow you to keep old versions of items you already tested. Although, this won’t really matter for most people, the ability to track the combination of multiple components without having to keep a separate log of those items and re-entering them into Your Squeeze Page would be helpful. Then again, they would probably have to charge you more for the extra storage. . . Again, you will unlikely to give a damn about that anyway.

What’s the verdict?

I enjoyed using Your Squeeze Page to create my squeeze page. It was very easy to use with every step clearly laid out with video tutorials. The testing feature is pretty good considering that most people don’t take the time to test anyway. I am NOT and avid tester so the basic capabilities are just fine. There were a few cases where I would have liked to test old components in new combinations but unfortunately I am lazy. Kind of the unsung part of the program is that it forces you to think about what you are offering and makes sure you lay your offer out in a way that will increase conversions for you. All in all, I recommend it.

To find out how to create a squeeze page for yourself using this program, click here to sign up for a $1 14-day trail so that you can create squeeze pages to your hearts content.

This is my favorite squeeze page generator because of some of the extras they give you. It is created by Rick Raddatz, Armand Morin, and Alex Mandossian and they have a history of creating useful products.

Being a subscription service, they offer you a 7-day trial subscription for only $1. That trial gets you access to creating an unlimited number of squeeze pages. (Well, at least as many as you have time for.)

They offer step by step video instructions so that you can quickly learn their process of making the pages. You can also do a preview of your page as you build it so that you are sure that it doesn’t look like crap.

Marketing Makeover Generator also has built in templates that you can use to structure your pages. In addition to that, it comes with some stock photos but you may upload your own.

The audio and video capability is what excited me the most. You have the ability to create audio right in the system so you don’t have to stop your creative flow to open another program or log into another service.

With the audio, there are 2 options available for you. One, you can call an 800 number they give and enter the code that they also provide and speak your message into the phone. However, you are charged 15 cents a minute if you use the toll free number. Not a big deal but if you have a mic of your own and don’t want to pay the toll charges, you can record it right with in the system as well. The system even gives you a teleprompter function!

If you have a web cam and a mic, you can record video just as well. I am not a video kind of guy, since my face is made for radio, so I have not explored the video functionality. I have seen pages produced by Marketing Makeover Generator with the video and it looks really good. Click here for an example.

Marketing Makeover Generator will give you a lot more room to add additional content, even html code, so that you can give your prospects more reasons to opt in without giving too much info away, of course.

This program also has a built in auto responder! This is fine for a novice but not so good for a pro. That’s why they let you integrate your account with Aweber, 1ShoppingCart and Get Contact. To integrate it seemed a little difficult at first but a quick email to tech support with Aweber gave me the answers I needed.

Marketing Makeover Generator also has a good testing system. You can enter multiple headlines, bullet points, audio, images, etc. to test! The beauty of this system is that it will automatically pick the best coverting option for you. For lazy people like me, this is perfect!

You also get the ability to have a pre-made exit pop up asking why your prospect didn’t give you their information. It has a comment form built in so that if they do give you a reason, it could be used to tweak the message on your squeeze page and further increase conversions.

Marketing Makeover Generator also gives you some on page SEO options. You can add header tags, keyword tags, etc.

Overall, Marketing Makeover Generator is one of the better products that I have seen. With all of the built in audio and video components you will save time and money if your audio and video needs are modest. In other words, pros may need more advanced features that are offered in other programs but the basics that most folks will use are covered.

If you only need to create one squeeze page, Marketing Makeover Generator will be way more than you’ll need. For 2 or more, then it is the one for you. Go ahead and sign up for the $1 trial to check it out yourself.

Stay tuned to part three when I go over ” Your Squeeze Page ” and how it differs from Marketing Makeover Generator.

How often have your hear the ‘mantra’ about the only way to make real money on the web is by having a targeted email list? It does have a little bit of truth there but it’s a stretch to say that is the “only” real way out there.

How do you build a list? Well, I am not going to go into the all of that here but I do want to show you a few services out there that will help you build it. There are more and more products on the market offering a “quick and easy” way to build a list but at their core, they all talk about creating squeeze pages that convert.

I am here to help you decipher all of the marketing mumbo jumbo and get straight to what really matters. There are a few well know marketers that release good stuff on a pretty consistent basis and a few up and comers looking to take over. Either way, I will give you an overall glimpse into what these products do well and which ones leave something to be desired.

Also, I will give you my thoughts on whether or not the product is good for someone that is getting started in internet marketing or whether it is better suited for a pro.

In addition to squeeze page products, I will tell you about my experiences with some of the miscellaneous components that will make or break your page. Components such as audio tools, video tools, graphics and images, and auto responders sequences.

This post is part 1 of 3 so be sure to check back over the next week to get the whole story.
