Driving Traffic With Twitter
April 29, 2009 by Mark Widawer · 2 Comments
It’s never too early.
Even if you’re right in the middle of developing your product, it’s not too early to start thinking about traffic.
And these days, if you’re thinking about traffic, you’re thinking about Twitter.
I have never seen anything sweep through both the internet marketing landscape, and main stream Americana, the way Twitter has.
Tonight, I was watching a local newscast (which I NEVER do…it was on right after a ballgame) and there was a news report about a car accident. During the report, the anchorman says to the reporter “Joe on Twitter asks which intersection that’s closest to.”
Can you believe THAT?
I was pretty surprised. But I guess I shouldn’t be.
Because people are using Twitter in all sorts of ways. A friend of mine, Maria, just did $250,000 in sales of her coaching course — entirely launched on Twitter.

Bonus Audio - The Million Dollar Man
March 19, 2009 by Mark Widawer · 3 Comments
Back in the 70’s there was a TV show called the “Six Million Dollar Man.” He was half man, and half machine. He didn’t need to build muscle — they were just built in for him.
Well, I happen to know a lowly ONE million dollar man — Vince Delmonte.
I’d put Vince up against Lee Majors (the star of the Six Million Dollar Man tv show) any day, because Vince has written his own ebook and built his business into a million-dollar a year enterprise.
And Vince had no prior experience, no marketing experience, and still can’t put up a web page on his own.
In other words, he’s probably a lot like you used to be — or still are.
I interviewed Vince just last week and during the call we talked about a lot of stuff — all of which will likely be of interest to you.
* Vince’s story
* What his Customers really want
* How writing his second book was easier
* Which traffic method is best
* Making Money as an Affiliate
* How much does he really make?

To Your Success,

P.S. If you’re in the Health or Fitness business, or want to get into that Niche, consider promoting Vince’s products as an affiliate. You’ll be surprised to know that he pays out 75% of every sale to his affiliates!

Bonus Audio - Finding a (new) Hungry Crowd
March 5, 2009 by Mark Widawer · Leave a Comment
During the Kickstart webinar, I told you about a private consultation I had with a man named Mike. Now it turns out that Mike is a technical kind of guy, and thought he only had the right (or expertise) to write a book about what he already knew about.
But it turns out that isn’t he case at all.
At least, it’s not the case if Mike wants to make any money with his ebook.
Listen to this audio as Mike discovers a new topic, and what to do with it to create his first ebook, and make some big bucks online.
NOTE: The audio recording is pretty poor quality. My good mic was broken, and Mike’s has an echo. That said, the content is stellar, and powerful. And if we ever have a private consultation together, I would expect a similar transformation for you, too!
Here’s an index of the audio…
01:35 Mike’s topic
03:32 Gary Halbert’s Restaurant
06:11 Yahoo Answers
06:11 Find a hungry crowd
09:43 Do Your Marketing First
13:09 Thinking like a Marketer vs…
14:02 Your Ebook’s Back end
18:32 About Writing a sales letter
After listening, discuss this audio on the Forum here.
Enjoy

How to Make a PDF (and save $290)
February 21, 2009 by Mark Widawer · 2 Comments
You’ll probably want to publish your ebook as a PDF file…and chances are, you’re thinking that you’ll have to buy Adobe Acrobat Professional to do it.
Let me caution you…you CAN get Acrobat if you want to, but you’ll be spending about $300 to get the software. Yes, Adobe invented the PDF format, but they aren’t the only game in town.
This video will show you how to convert your Ebook from MS Word format to PDF format using Adobe Acrobat. But then I’ll also show you how to use some other software that costs only ten bucks, but does the same thing.
And finally, some people like to lock their ebooks with a password. We’ll talk more about the pro’s and con’s about that later. But for now I’ll show you how to lock your PDF file with a password with both pieces of software.

Bonus Ebook: How to get and use Testimonials (Even before you’ve finished your ebook)
February 17, 2009 by Mark Widawer · 2 Comments
This can be a real challenge: Getting testimonials for a product that hasn’t been released yet.
Well, it’s possible, and it’s easy, if you know how to do it.
Plus, there’s an art to getting and using testimonials after your product is in the marketplace. Even if your book is FANTASTIC, very few people will spontaneously send you a rave review…especially one you can use in your marketing.
Discover in this book how to get and use testimonials effectively, and easily, whether your book is on the market or not.

Bonus Ebook: How to Reuse, Repurpose and Reprofit from your Ebook Content
February 17, 2009 by Mark Widawer · 2 Comments
This isn’t a book about how to make an ebook (although there is a section in the back that tells you how to make one without writing, and have ALL your marketing created at the same time at no extra cost).
It’s actually a book about efficiency.
Which sounds boring.
But it’s not.
Because it’s a book that will jumpstart your online business by showing you how you can reuse, repurpose, and reprofit from your work, over and over again.
In other words, write it once, and use it over and over. Details inside.
