Have you heard of Job Crusher?

Mike Filsaime and Eric Louviere’s created this Internet Marketing membership site, and I joined a few months ago (September).

The site has so much great information, but one of the biggest things for me is how you can forge ahead with the power of Master Minding.

You see, Job Crusher offers you instant access to communities of like-minded people just like you. You think you can achieve lots by yourself? Imagine for a moment how much more you will achieve as a group? A heck of a lot more! Each group member can add value in his particular are of expertise. It works well in practice.

In fact, inside Job Crusher you can even create your own Master Mind group and watch as various members from around the whole start to join you and add value for everyone in the group.

There are even private forums for each master mind group where private discussions can be held. You can choose to keep your group as large or small as you’d like.

This is a very unique approach, and they have to be onto something here. I am excited by the opportunities that are present there, and I am sure you will be too.

I’ve already met some great people, and importantly can focus on my core skills (software development) and work with other people with other skillsets. It’s a true win-win.

Of course you don’t have to do it this way, you can “keep to yourself” if you prefer. The truth is though, that master minding communities are only one aspect of Job Crusher.

There are a ton of other benefits to members including:

The Look Over My Shoulder program where you can watch as the Job Crusher staff ventures into various niches with full disclosure for you. In other words they take you along on the journey of finding a niche, creating a web-site for it, and making money with it, showing you everything along the way.

You actually get to see them doing it with video, and can ask they how and why the did things the way they did, how they found the keywords, how the got the traffic. Everything. Even how much money the site is making! All this is happening before your eyes live! Yes this is not just a series of pre-recorded videos, the step-by-step process is happening live so you can login each day to see the progress, ask questions, see the results, etc. I’ve not seen this concept done well with any other membership site.

This information is practically priceless, because all you need to do is copy what they have done to achieve success yourself. It’s that easy.

Also included is The Fast Track To $4k Per Month program; where insider strategies and techniques are revealed to get you on the fast track to $4k per month and beyond. I have personally found this the most impressive part of job crusher. Watching the step by step videos leaving nothing unturned.

You literally get a step by step guide, starting from nothing, to researching niches, keywords, products, the works. How to make money from your website. And not just a simple answer like “get an affiliate product”, real detailed information.

And the best part of all? You can ask questions on the forums and Eric and Mike (as well as a host of other people) answer the questions. So you are truly getting it from the “horses mouth” so to speak. Talk to other people in your situation, some more advanced, some less advanced, but all working towards success on the Internet. All focused on a common goal. It’s such a powerful community.

Just how powerful is this concept? It’s unbelievably powerful. In my experience, job crusher is simple the best membership site bar none. I’ve been involved with many of these membership sites in the past, including Andrew Fox’s, Portal Feeder, even Stompernet, and the one that has helped me the most has been job crusher. And it’s getting better and better all the time.

Personally, I have been disappointed with the hype of some of these membership sites. I signed up full of hope with a lot of them, and found practically no useful content I could use to start getting ahead today. Job Crusher has some hype sure, but it actually delivers the content, I have personally seem it and used it, so I know it’s great, and new content is being added all the time.

I’ve cancelled my membership with pretty well all other memberships sites, and am focusing on job crusher.

Now as I have said, I am already a member (if you decide to join, drop me a message my username in Job Crusher is intrinsic). I got in just before the membership site was closed last time. The site has not been open to new members for a while now (and I have been checking their main page to see if this is the case). If it’s one thing I hate, it’s these membership sites that try and and “suck” you in to joining with “limited” offers. Speaking from experience, Job Crusher is not like that.

I got an email from Mike Filsaime today which told me that of the 1500 members already signed up, around 75 have left for various reasons, and as a result, they will be opening the doors and allowing these 75 spots to be taken again.

Here is your opportunity to get in now and lock yourself into a Charter membership at a reduced price.

As I have said, I am not a big fan of these type of “limited spots” but I know that Mike and Eric are sincere here, because they are saying that they are going to allow a select few to get in to the program, and then as soon as those spots are taking they are raising the price.

I know for a fact that this is happening, because that is what I was told when I signed up in September, and I can see the membership price now, is more expensive than what I paid.

So this is the real deal. And if you miss out this time, you will be paying an additional $20 minimum to get back in later in the month, when additional spots are released. If you miss out on the current offer and the one later in the month, expect to be paying a further $50 monthly at least after that.

So you have a 1 in 75 chance to get on board, I suggest you jump on board immediately while you can. Again I can personally vouch for the site, it is legitimate, and you will get value.

Jump on board immediately, I doubt the doors will be open for long this time. As I have said I am a member, so I am not just doing this post “for the money”.

In the interests of full disclosure, the link I am providing to you is an affiliate link (so job crusher will pay me a small amount of commission if you sign up), but the great thing for you is that once you sign up, you can do the same if you wish.

Personally though, if I were you, I wouldn’t be focusing on the money you can make promoting job crusher (think of it as a bonus), rather focus on what job crusher can give you, and that’s all the information you need to be successful online. Yes you can be a success and job crusher will show you how.

And get to ask Mike and Eric your questions in the forums (and lots of other experts) and get those questions answered!

To find out more about job crusher, I suggest you immediately click the link below and read it. This is life changing stuff.

One last thing I neglected to tell you. They even have a part of the website where you can promote your products to other job crusher members. No doubt some of the people reading this are job crusher members who signed up for some of my free stuff. If your a job crusher member reading this, you already know of the fantastic benefits of job crusher, don’t you?

Still reading? Go check the link above now before they close the doors again! Grab your membership while you can. If it’s already closed by the time you read this, then keep checking the job crusher site as they will open briefly later this month (November) at a higher price.

I found this great little free report by Rich Schefren. He talks about attention spans and focusing on goals, and doing what you need to do to succeed. Most importantly he tells you that he believes that things are going to change dramatically in Internet Marketing, and a lot of the old Marketers are going to fade away. Personally I am all for those Marketers peddling junk products with false promises to leave the market!

You do have to leave your email address to get the report, but it’s worth reading.

Check it out…

No, this is not an affiliate link, and there is no hard sell there (or one time offer, etc). Just a decent read. There is even the chance to win $25K by promoting his site, but this is not an attempt to enter the competition by me. Rather, this is just me sending out a link to you and urging you to read what he says. I think it makes a lot of sense.

Have a read, and let me know what you think of the report.

If your new to Internet Marketing, it won’t take long to start hearing about Affiliate Programs.

First question, what are Affiliate Programs? Simply put, they are a method to allow you to sell someone else’s products or services on the Internet and to receive a commission for any sales you make. Usually these are downloadable products (electronic books, audio books, videos, etc) but there are also Affiliate Programs for physical items such as books, electronic equipment, etc.

Affiliate programs can be a great way to make some quick money, but there a number of things you need to consider. As you can imagine with the size of the Internet and the number of people connecting to it, there are a huge number of affiliate programs to choose.

How do you go about choosing a program? My advice is to choose a program where you have some expertise, or that you have an interest in. For example if you have an interest in Golf, find an affiliate program that promotes something relating to Golf. If you do this, you will find you have more enthusiasm to promote the product, and this will show through to your potential customers when you promote the product. And let’s face it, you will find it easy to do, because of your interest, and it will feel less like work, and more like fun.

A great place to start looking for affiliate programs to promote is clickbank.com

This is the number one web site for affiliate programs (where the vast majority of product owners list their products for sale). ClickBank make the ability to sign up and promote products very easy for people looking to promote products. There are many thousands of products there, so go take a look.

The next thing you probably going to want to know is how to go about promoting an affiliate program, just where do you start. This is one of the things I get asked a lot, and you will find that most Internet Marketers who are selling a “how to” book assume you are not a complete beginner.

One of the most important things you should do is to setup your own website, and to capture your visitors name and email address. Then you are able to promote products and services to them in the future. Most guides on the Internet will not tell you to do this, because the fact is the affiliate product owner doesn’t want you to promote to your own customers. They would much rather pay you a once off commission for a sale, and then be free to promote to their customer directly (with you out of the picture) in the future.

Any marketing consultant will tell you that it’s a lot easier to promote to an existing customer than it is to get a new customer. So if you have worked hard and managed to get a customer, you don’t want to lose them, you want to keep them, and promote to them in the future.

As I’ve mentioned you want to grab your visitors information before forwarding them on to the affiliate owners website. To do this, you really need to give the visitor and incentive to give you their information. Everyone is worried about spam, so you need to convince your visitor that your won’t spam them.

How do you do this? By being honest and upfront and telling the visitor this. You would be surprised how many websites just ask for someone to leave a name and email address, and give them no incentive to do so, and then don’t let the visitor know that they won’t be spammed.

Visitors will naturally be wary about most things on the Internet, and if you can’t give them confidence in yourself, guess what, they won’t leave their details.

The other thing you need to do is to give the visitor an incentive to leaving their details. The simplest way to do this, is to offer a useful report, or perhaps an ebook that the visitor will be able to download for free if they leave their details with you.

There are a few options for you. My preference would be for you to create you own report (this could be a simple document, even just a few pages). The main thing is that it should be relevant to the product you are promoting, and generally be of interest to the visitor.

Just ask yourself, if you were the visitor arriving at your website, would you be willing to leave your details? Put yourself in the shoes of the visitor, and give them a real reason to leave their details.

The next thing you need to think about is how you actually store the information the visitor leaves you. You need some way for the visitor to enter their details, and then you need to be able to act on this, and forward the information to the visitor automatically.

I believe automation is one of the keys to success on the Internet, as much as possible and practical, you want to automate as many processes that you can.

People expect immediate results, and if your asleep when someone leaves their details, and you don’t act on it for hours, the visitor has likely surfed to another site where they could retrieve the information automatically.

In this case, what you are after is an Auto-Responder service. Many web-hosts have this functionality built into their offerings, but my recommendation would be to use a dedicated auto-responder company who’s focus is on providing this functionality. Two of the major players are www.aweber.com and www.getresponse.com (although there are many other companies). My websites use Aweber, but both are reputable.

Auto-Responders allow you to automatically accept and record details from your visitor (name, email address, etc) and to then automatically send information to the visitor via email. You can even get personalise the emails sent to the visitor with their name, etc. This all happens automatically, even if you are asleep! The visitor is happy because they get the information in a few minutes, and your happy because your web site is working for you, while you sleep.

In the email you send to the visitor, you would include the download link to your free report or ebook (remember that’s the reason they decided to give you their details) and you could perhaps give them some more information about the products you can promote to them (perhaps with a product review, and other useful information).

I will go into more details about Auto-Responders in a future article (this will focus on how you go about setting them up, etc).

In my next post (Part 2 of Affiliate Products), we will move past this introduction and look at choosing an affiliate product, and how to setup your links, and discuss ways to promote them).

Feel free to drop me a line (click the Contact Me link at the top of this page) if you have any questions, or feel free to comment by leaving a comment after this post.

And please, if you know someone who you think this website would help, please pass on the web address to them, the more people we can collectively help, the better.

Until next time,

I am absolutely sick to death of the Internet Marketers out there attempting to coerce funds from those poor unfortunate souls who have been unlucky enough to subscribe to their mailing list (or worse still to attend a seminar).

Now I am not against making money on the Internet, I make an income myself online, and many of the products available from Internet Marketers are actually decent ones in their own right (I even intend to review some in the near future and post the results here). My gripe is the Internet Marketers (you know who you are) who promote lots and lots of products (most of them not even belonging to them) which to me is a blatant cash grab. Day after Day, there is another “must have” product in my inbox, and of course, the Internet Marketer gets a commission for any sales.

Reading some of the crud that is released by these “guru” (and I use that word loosely!) Internet Marketers, you would think that there was no way to succeed without spending thousands of dollars on products which just co-incidentally they have available for sale (at a one time special price of course).

I believe Internet Marketing is not that difficult a concept to grasp, and it is possible to get started and make a profit without investing in some of these Internet Marketers courses. Again this is exactly the opposite of what they are telling you.

It gets worse though, I was at a seminar recently and some of the “specials” were upwards of $10,000 and sadly a lot of people were signing up for them. A good presentation and speaking well in front of people really works. My problem is not the cost, and not the content (some of it is good), I just believe a lot of the required information is already available, and that this information should be available to the average person for free, yes that’s right for free!

Let me give you an example. I have a Web Traffic e-Book that I developed, and that I promote online. The e-Book can be purchased, But (and it’s a big but) I give people the option to get the entire contents of the e-Book for free if they so choose. That’s right, for free, nada, nothing to pay. Optionally if they want to purchase it (and feed the starving kids), well, they can, but the choice is theirs.

If your like most, you would think no one would buy the book, right? Well I am here to tell you that that is wrong, the vast majority of people who grab the free content, ultimately buy the e-Book, impressive hey? I hope it is a vote of confidence in my offerings, but I also think it’s because they have had the chance to sample the merchandise (so to speak) before they have purchase it.

I am getting off track a bit here, because this post is not meant to be about my e-Book, so I will finish off talking about my e-Book by saying if your looking for ways to increase web site traffic then go take a look, and grab the contents for free if you wish. You will also get to check my lovely face on the video on the front page!

Getting back to the point of this post, I believe information should be available for free, and I intend, over time to put up all the information I know about Internet Marketing on this blog, and to make it freely available to anyone who wants it.

If you have a particular subject you want discussed, by all means drop me a line, and I’ll aim to cover it in a future post. With your help, I intend on making this the best free source of information on Internet Marketing on the web.

Let’s beat these “guru” Internet Marketers at their own game, by giving away the information and making it available to anyone who wants it.

Cheers

Tim
