This past week marked the 2nd anniversary of the release of my first product, Free Ad Report. So I thought it appropriate to take a quick jaunt down memory lane at the last 2 years since then.

On Friday, I’m holding a customer appreciation sale.  It’s 8/8/08, and this look at the products I’ve created should put in perspective the quality of training and experience you’ll have access to if you choose to take part in the Crazy 888 Sale.

I’ll have 3 different packages available, ranging in value and amount of access to training products I’ve already created and will be releasing over the next year. All details will be revealed throughout the week to you if you claim your free VIP Access Pass at Crazy888Sale.com. (use signup code 1dayonly)

So here’s a look at the training and special sites I’ve created during my own journey as an online business trainer (and date of release in parentheses). I’ve also included a few important events that played a major role in my business.

Joanna and I are off to Poland for two weeks!

We’re both pretty excited to make the trip, although she’s petrified of flying. She keeps asking if we can take a boat instead. :)

We’ll be flying to Warsaw via Atlanta and London. After a day visiting with her brother in the capital, we’ll make the 6 hour drive to Debrzno on Friday.

As you can imagine, I’ll be trying my best to stay “unplugged” on vacation. So I’d like to remind you of how I can still help you while I’m away.

Saturday is March 15, and traditionally, the 15th of the month is when commiss|ons are paid out to affiliates.

Hopefully by now you are seeing a nice pay day and you are looking forward to a nice Paypal notice this weekend.

Yesterday, my partner at DiscovercPanel.com, Chris Morris sent out this month’s affiliate checks (we like to send ours out early).

To date, we have now paid out over $25000 in commissions to affiliates!  And while that is very exciting to know, it’s the next $25,000 I’m pumped up about.

That’s because you have an even better opportunity to profit from our site (and a few others).

DiscovercPanel continues to convert subscribers into buyers at a rate of 1:8 or better (our best affiliates get 1:4 conversions).

Typically, that means that if you were to send just 8 referrals to our site, you would likely see a check of $23.50 or more coming back to you.

It remains my top converting site, as well as my favorite learning resource because of how much of an impact the videos Chris and I made have on people who learn from us.

No longer are they struggling to figure out FTP, or how to upload files, or set up a MySQL database, etc.

So what does this all mean for you?

Well, first, if you haven’t become an affiliate of DiscovercPanel by now, you are really missing out on easy commissions. 

http://www.DiscovercPanel.com/

Free members earn 33% commissions, and paid members earn 50% on products ranging from $47 to $97.

Second, my friend and mastermind partner Martin Salter has created a fantastic way for you to build your list and make more money promoting DiscovercPanel and other websites.

He’s created a monthly squeeze templates site, where he goes through the headaches of creating
an in-depth product review video, as well as squeeze page graphics.

Right now, the template you can pick up promotes DiscovercPanel -  all you have to do is download the files from Martin, change two files with your affiliate link and autoresponder code (so you can build your own list), and upload the templates.

Of course he walks you through this 4 minute process in his video-tutorials.

Your investment in Martin’s site is just $20/month, which is a steal for you because with just one sale
of DiscovercPanel you will be in profit.

On top of the DCP template, you also get some other PLR goodies, and a new top selling product review
video squeeze template each month.

April 15 is our next pay day, and it’s also the tax deadline in the States.

How cool would it be for you to get some nice affiliate payments from Chris and me on a day we typically are afraid of?

Martin’s templates will help you get there…

Enjoy!

p.s. Martin puts a lot of work into these templates so you don’t have to. The extra goodies he throws in every month are also profit generators you can use over and over again.

p.p.s. Remember, our affiliate program is free to join, and a great way for you to help others learn the must-know skills of controlling their own website/blog.

Last weekend, I held a live webinar with 30+ people, helping them set up their first website.  Although it was well attended, and I received excellent feedback overall, I learned a few things…

Walking a person through as an example worked really well

Giving people time between steps was essential

Getting the email from the hosting company took longer than expected

3 hours is an awful long time for a webinar

Charging for the webinar only after it was over, AND if I “deserve” it was an interesting experiment worth repeating.

So this week it’s Thanksgiving, and I’m considering holding another webinar this Saturday.  Of course, I’ll be making some changes.

But before I go through the trouble of setting that up, I need to see if you will be up for attending it.

So if you missed out on the last one, or need a refresher, let me know now by posting a comment below.

And in case you aren’t sure what this is about… during the webinar, you will watch, learn, and then DO the following:

During the first hour:

1) Register your domain name, and do so strategically for your business

2) Setup hosting (followed by a long break - like 2 hours), picking the right hosting plan at the right host, etc.

During the second hour:

3) Connect your new domain name to your hosting account

4) Tour your website’s cPanel

5) Add some basic content to your webpage

If this is of interest to you, tell me below.  Specifically, let me know if this Saturday works for you, say Noon Eastern for the first hour, then 3 p.m. EST for the second hour.

When I can see we will have a nice size group, I’ll schedule the call and let you know the details via email.

p.s. I know this weekend may be busy (all that shopping and all), but perhaps the downtime of a 4 day vacation is the perfect time to build your first website?  Tell me you’ll be there below.

We’re into day 2 of my Halloween special, where you can get about $400 of my best training recordings for under $100.

It’s my Halloween - Pay The Movers Sale.

You may be one of the dozens of people who have already picked up all 9 of my audio and video presentations…

But if you are not, here are a few answers to the questions you may have…

1) How did this sale come about?
On Thursday, I get to pay a little more than $30,000 for my down payment of my new place (including closing costs and 10% down). But then on Friday, I have to pay the movers over $5000 to deliver all of our stuff after a month in storage.

With the down payment hitting my bank, I have to use a credit card to pay the movers. But the credit cards are somewhere in the boxes, and I honestly have no idea where.

So if this sale doesn’t hit our target, I have no idea how I’m going to pay the movers.

2) Is this some gimmick to suck out more money from your wallet?
If you think that’s the way I do business, there’s an unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of my emails.

I recognize that my business only grows from having your trust. I would not jeopardize that by misleading you in any way.

I am giving you some of my best work, and feel that there’s at least 5 times the value for the price.

3) What topics are covered in this package? How will you benefit?

I picked the products from work I’ve personally created based on these areas that are most frequently asked about on my blog…

** Getting Started - Business Building Foundations

** Online Profits From Your Offline Experience

** Using Forums For Building Your Reputation

** Creating Squidoo Lenses For Credibility And Traffic

** Registering Domain Names Strategically

** Creating Killer Squeeze Pages

** Generating More Traffic And Customer Loyalty

** Installing PHP/MySQL Scripts

** Using Video In Your Marketing

Each part of the product is a video or audio that addresses each one individually.

4) How long will this sale last?
One way or the other, I have to pay the movers on Friday.

So this sale will likely end late on Thursday. However, we may sell out early (perhaps today). The site is set up with a script that will automatically turn off when we hit a certain number of total sales.

As of this morning, we are about halfway there.

5) How much does all of this great training cost?
I can’t tell you the answer to this for sure, simply because the price goes up $10 every 20 sales - and you may be reading this much later than I’m writing this message to you.

This is done automatically by a script I’m using on the site. You’ll see the number of sales left at the current price when you take a closer look at the site.

6) How will you get all the files from the 9 products?
I’ve created a simple, easy to follow downloads page where you can download 7 of the products right away.

2 of the products are videos that you can not download, but you will have permanent access to the pages until I can send you a download link.

7) Is there some type of upsell after buying?
For people willing to help Joanna and me out, I do have a very unique opportunity to work very closely with me. I can’t say more than that at this time - but if you pick up the 9 products, I think you’ll enjoy the opportunity I’ll share afterwards.

8) Do you get resell rights to any of these products?
No. These products are for your personal use only.

9) Are these products resell rights being sold elsewhere, or on eBay?
No —
