It’s a Girl!

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Hi. Firstly, my apologies if this message is a little muddled. I'm on a bit of a 'high' at the moment following the birth this afternoon of our fourth child (and FIRST girl), Susan!

Weighing in at just under 3 kilos (about six and a half pounds), Susan joined us at 1pm (french time) today. Both she and her mum are in top form.

If you were already a subscriber back in 2005, you might recall the rather dramatic circumstances that accompanied the arrival of our third boy, Gabriel.

To cut a long story short, we didn't make it as far as the clinic, and I found myself playing the role of mid-wife (husband?) at the side of the road.

This time around, Susan, being the good little girl that she is, was kind enough to wait until we were in capable medical hands before arriving with a minimum of fuss.

I'll try and get it together to put up a photo for you over the next couple of days.

Now, as you can imagine, I'm not in the right frame of mind for any kind of internet marketing right now but, if you're having PC problems, then I think you'll be interested in this.

Personally, I've been driven half demented by my PC in recent months. I was constantly crashing, taking several minutes to re-boot and, basically, spent about a third of my time waiting as my PC moaned and groaned its way through every little task.

I was about to fork out for a new PC — even though I just KNEW that there was nothing fundamentally wrong with the one I have.

Then I came across "PC Secret Formula" which promised to have my PC running like new in no time flat.

I was a little skeptical but, at just $9.97, I figured I didn't have a whole lot to lose by trying it out.

Well, you know what, it's been a revelation!

It took no time at all to follow the simple steps — and my PC IS running like new again! After all the frustration of trying to work with a 'wobbly' PC, this is the best $9.97 I've spent in a LONG time.

If you're having PC problems of your own, then this may be just what you need:

Okay, I'll sign off here. I've got three busy boys to take care of, and a new baby bedroom to finish preparing!

Take care and talk to you soon.

Important – Please read this short message as soon as you can.

Hi. Do you know a guy called Frank Haywood?

He's the one behind "SmartDD", the automated product delivery software.

He's also a very decent guy who does everything he can to help and guide all of us "in the trenches" marketers who are trying to build a business online.

Well…

Frank has just launched a truly excellent new script — that has the capacity to explode your business in double-quick time. (Excuse the 'hypey' language — but this really IS a terrific
piece of software.)

Right now, you can grab that script for a pittance of its true value — but you've got to HURRY, because each time a copy is sold, the price goes up by 5 cents.

And they're selling FAST!

I just bought my copy for $10.52 and, if you're quick, you might still get it for less than $20.

By the way, when you get to the page, be sure to read the list of features (just over half way down). It's very, VERY impressive — you're really getting a LOT more than the product title suggests.

You can practically run every aspect of your sales process, product delivery and affiliate program with this.

Awesome stuff!

Check it out as soon as you can, here:

All the best,

Michael

How (And Why) to Set Up Your Own OTOs

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

Hi. If you've been marketing online for any time now, you'll already have noticed that every successful marketer uses One Time Offers (OTOs) to increase their bottom line.

So, what is an OTO and how can YOU start including them on your website?

As the name suggests, an OTO is an offer that you make available to your visitors on ONE occasion only. The offer should be mouth-wateringly tempting and great value for money so that your visitors will be very hesitant to miss out on the opportunity to secure a great deal.

An OTO is usually inserted at a point where you're thanking your visitor for completing an action such as subscribing to your newsletter or buying your product.

Some examples…

- If you're selling an ebook for $17 on the front-end, you could offer your customers the chance to buy the master resale rights for an additional $27 once they've completed the initial purchase. The offer would only be available at that point and nowhere else (at least not at that price).

- If you're getting people to subscribe to your mailing list in order to secure a trial copy of your product, you could (on the 'thank you for subscribing' page) give them a one-off opportunity to upgrade to the full version at a knock-down price.

The most common way to implement an OTO is to use it as the 'thank you' page after someone has subscribed to your mailing list or ordered a product. (In the latter case, be sure to include a 'no thanks, just give me my product' link at the bottom of the OTO page.)

The most important key to success with OTOs is that the offer be relevant to your visitors and that it be so valuable they'll find it very difficult to resist.

If you don't have products of your own to create your OTO, then you can use a Ready-to-Plug-in OTO Package like this one instead. This package includes the OTO sales letter, a selection of OTO templates AND, of course, the contents of the package which is a selection of over 40 products with master resale rights.

Even if you don't operate in the internet marketing niche, you can still use this OTO package as the basis for a package of your own. Just tweak the sales letter to your needs and replace the products with some that are more in tune with your business. (You'll find lots of niche products you can use for free at PLR Wholesaler amongst others.)

Whatever approach you decide to use, it's REALLY worth including an OTO in your sales/marketing process. It can generate additional income on an ongoing basis with no additional effort on your part.

Just take a little time to set it up now, and you can be reaping the rewards long into the future.

Here's all you need to do…

- Create an offer aimed at your target market or use this ready-to-go offer instead.

- Upload it to your website as the 'thank you' page for your customers or subscribers.

That's all there is to it, so don't put it off, get started today!

All the best,

Michael
