Hi!

I'm back on schedule again :-) Well done - and thank you - to all subscribers who took up my Special Deal on "Digital Photo Niche Goldminer". It certainly proved to be a popular new approach to affiliate marketing! If you were one of the many people who bought into this system, I hope you are putting it to good use, and that it's working well for you.

---

Whilst the Special Deal was running, I had quite a few people asking if they could just have the "Photo Organizer" give-away software for their own use. So I've just put it in the Download Library. OK, it's not an internet marketing product, but so many people have digital cameras that I thought that it would be a useful addition to the Library. And you do have Give-Away Rights to the software - so you could use it as an incentive in some way.

Thanks to everyone who has participated in my survey "What Do You Sell Online". The results so far have been very illuminating. But I'm still looking for more responses. So, if you haven't yet completed this short survey and you are selling, or you are planning to, sell anything online, I'd appreciate a few minutes of your time:

I've been following some of the big internet marketing launches during the past week. No doubt your in-box has been inundated by emails promoting them.

Mine certainly was! And I was tempted enough by a couple of them to part with my hard-earned dollars.

What a mistake! With one of them, anyway! It was all about affiliate marketing and, to be honest, I didn't learn one new thing from these so-called "secrets"!

So what about the other new launch I bought into. It was a completely different story. As I read through the Core Manual, I kept saying to myself things like: "I must try this", "I haven't heard of that before", and so on. What was this product? Here it is..

* Rapid Mass Traff'ic: Some Great Ideas Here

I hate over-hyped sales pages! Unfortunately, Moh Latif's sales page for his "Rapid Mass Traff'ic" ("RMT") falls into this category:

http://www.IanSays.com/LookAt/RMT

Having said that, his core product certainly lives up to the expectations raised on the sales page. There are some great, new (to me) ideas in this multi-media package.

I'm not going to give you a full "warts and all" review here, because I've posted one on my review site:

http://www.IanSays.com/Review/RMT

As with all big launches, you get bombarded with dozens of "bonuses if you get it through my link". I've looked at a number of these bonuses for RMT and I've been a bit taken aback that hardly any of these bonus pages talk much about what they are promoting. The emphasis is on the bonuses. Maybe some of these guys haven't actually looked at RMT in detail!

This isn't my approach. In my review, I give you as much information that I can about RMT. And I detail what I think are the weak points about the package as well as the strengths.

Yes, I give a bonus. Of course I do! And it's one which is unique. You can't get it from anyone else. You'll find it at the end of my review:

http://www.IanSays.com/Review/RMT

So, if you've heard of RMT in the past week but haven't been sure about it, then read my review and see if it's what you are looking for. But if you'd prefer to go straight to Latif's sales page, you'll find it here:

And before you ask, yes, it's an affiliate link!

* Another Good Idea Bites The Dust!

As I was reading the massive 184-page Core Manual for Rapid Mass Traff'ic, I was wishing that I could add my notes to it electronically instead of printing the whole thing out and writing on it in the old-fashioned way.

Then a light bulb lit in my head. Why not hire a guy from ScriptLance or a similar outsourcing site to produce a PDF reader which lets you add electronic notes to a PDF. What a brilliant idea!

But, before rushing off to ScriptLance, I thought I'd better google the idea, just to check that such software didn't already exist. I didn't expect to find anything.

Wrong!

Within minutes I'd found a great bit of software which does just that - and a lot more. It had rave reviews from the leading PC magazines and download sites. And it's completely f-r-e-e :-)

It's called "PDF Xchange" and you can get it from here:

http://www.IanSays.com/Try/PDFXChange

And that's NOT an affiliate link - wouldn't be much point, would there, since it's f'ree :-)

Basically, PDF Xchange replaces the Adobe Reader software for viewing PDFs, although you can revert to Reader whenever you want. And it meets my requirement of being able to add my notes to any PDF file. There's a whole range of other tools which I haven't explored yet - I only downloaded it yesterday.

It's well worth trying. And it just goes to show that whatever brilliant idea you've had, someone else has probably already thought of it!

* Premium PLR Package Added To My "Private PLR Club"

Ever heard of "Scribd"? For such a popular site, it seems to fly below most people's radar. It's been described as "the YouTube for documents", it gets millions of visitors per month and about 50,000 documents, reports, eBooks and the like are uploaded to Scribd each month.

The latest PLR product that Members of my Club have got is "Scribd Traff'ic Road Map", a manual on how to use Scribd for marketing purposes. And that ain't easy!

In addition to this valuable Report, Members get a whole battery of tools to help them to sell it - a give-away report, websites and blogs, autoresponder emails, banners & badges, articles etc.

The Scribd Premium PLR package will only be in the Members Area for a month. After that, it will be replaced with another similar high-powered package.

I'm accepting new Members right now! Sign up now and get immediate access to the current Premium PLR Package.. and a whole lot more!

It's a low, low monthly fee to become a Member - and you can try it risk-f'ree for a month.

* Am I A Genius?

Well, I must, mustn't I? I don't have an iPhone, I know nothing about programming "apps", yet I've just created an iPhone app in about 2 minutes flat! You can preview it here:

http://www.IanSays.com/MyiPhoneApp

The app displays my posts to my Marketing Sparks blog, and the preview on the web page works exactly the way that it would on an iPhone.

So, what if you DO have an iPhone, and you'd like to download my app?

Sorry - I've got to disappoint you. To publish my app on iTunes, I have to part with nearly 200 bucks to the creators of this "instant app", and, although I'll return to the site and investigate further when I have time, I've got to rush to get out this edition of "Update" on time.

But if you want to play with this "instant app" creator, here's where to go:

The Download Library

Because of popular demand following the launch of my "Digital Photo Niche Goldminer", I've put the give-away software produced by "Goldminer" in the Library. You'll also get to see, on the way in, a Special Deal which is really outstanding!

NEW! "Photo Organizer"
When you download images from your digital camera to your computer, you'll know that your camera has used unintelligible file names, which mean nothing to you.

"Photo Organizer" lets you rapidly rename your photos with names that do mean something to you. And you can also file them away into any number of different categories (folders) that you choose.

At last, you can get all those photos organized!

You have Master Give-Away Rights to this software.

"Sales Forcer":
Powerful New Software!
"Sales Forcer" is a fill-in-the-blanks" bit of software which allows you to employ one of three psychological levers on your sales page. They are "hurry-up" factors. And these "levers" are complex dynamic scripts which are inserted into your sales pages with minimum technical skills.

• Lever#1: "Limited Copies Available". Scarcity is huge psychological lever. The lever shows how many copies remain, and you can change it with one simple alteration of a file and uploading it. When the countdown reaches zero.. it's gone!
• Lever #2: "This Deal Expires Soon". This lever displays a countdown clock, and redirects your visitor to another page when the deal time is over.
• Lever #3: "Make Up Your Mind - Fast!". Your website visitor has "x" minutes to decide on taking up the great deal you are giving. After the countdown clock reaches zero, they can't get back to the page again. Ever!

With each of these levers, "Sales Forcer" gives you the option of installing a "Motivator Bar" at the top or bottom of your sales page, reinforcing the "hurry-up" message.

You can see one of these levers in action here. Did you feel the pressure to act? You also get my detailed and illustrated User Manual, showing you, step-by-step, how to get the most from this software.

You get Master Give-Away Rights to this software. Make good use of both the software and your give-away rights!

Marketing Secrets Unlocked
I downloaded, looked at and rejected half a dozen reports before I came across this little gem!

In its 40 pages, "Marketing Secrets Unlocked" gives a quick summary of 11 key marketing techniques. To be honest, none of the "secrets" are new. But, even to a seasoned marketer, they serve as a reminder of what you should be doing.

And not a lot of people use Method 7: "Your Product Must Have ________". I'll bet you can't guess what that is! Download this report and find out!

You get Master Give-Away Rights to this report.

Success Upgrade Private Site

Many years ago, I went on the Dale Carnegie Professional Sales Training Course. It was my reward for coming top in a newspaper competition. Contestants were asked "What, for you, is the single most important key to success?". I answered with a single word: "ENTHUSIASM!". It got me a f'ree place on this prestigious sales training course!

It doesn't matter how much you have the desire to get rich, or the passion to be a success or even the knowledge. If you don't have the right mindset, you will not succeed. You need to know how to think like a rich and successful entrepreneur.

"Enthusiasm" has always been part of my mindset - but only a part. So what mindset does a successful entrepreneur have?

You'll learn all about this in my new Membership Site: "Success Upgrade". Through the written word, through audios and through videos you'll discover the seven traits of a successful entrepreneur. And you'll be able to take a self-assessment test to see if you've got what it takes.

I'm giving you completely free Silver Membership to my "Success Upgrade" site. You'll get everything described in the previous paragraph!

Access the Library here. You'll need the access details for this month, which are in the email edition of this newsletter.

Some final reminders..

I'll be spending some time this weekend setting up some of my "Rapid Mass Traff'ic" campaigns. But I guess I'll still have time for relaxation :-)

Have a great week!

Kind regards
