Ask Bob The Teacher

In less than 45 pages, one of my top affiliates of all time has packed in the most comprehensive starter guide for internet marketing.

And he’s letting me give it to you for free (no opt-in required).

You’ll learn about squeeze pages, list building, free traffic, paid traffic, product creation, joint ventures, article marketing, JV Giveaways, tracking & split testing, and a lot more.

This is a starter guide, and an excellent overview of the pieces of the puzzle to consider.

And I think you’ll enjoy learning from it.

However, there’s another reason you can benefit from this book.

The book contains recommendations to the top resources online, and as you can imagine these are affiliate links which allow profits to be shared.

For a small fee, Soren will let you rebrand as many of the links inside the book as you want, and then give the book away from your own blog, website, Squidoo lens, or whatever. In fact, you don’t even have to have a website of your own, you can link directly to the file from Soren’s website. It will look like this:

http://imsuccessformula.com/pdf/IMSuccessFormula-29.pdf

But it would be a great thing to use to build your list with also.

Details about rebranding are on page 39.

And if you don’t want to rebrand the links, you can still give the book away. Just copy and paste this code on a download page, blog, or squidoo lens:

<a href=”http://imsuccessformula.com/pdf/IMSuccessFormula-29.pdf”><img src=”http://imsuccessformula.com/getimg.php?id=10″></a>

Enjoy the read!

Bob Jenkins

p.s. If you are an affiliate of DiscovercPanel, TeleseminarFormula, Aweber, ViralUrl, for example, your links could generating commissions when you give away your own rebranded version. See page 39 for details.

Tim Brocklehurst and I spent almost two hours answering the big questions about viral marketing, and how the MyViralSpiral system can be used to grow your list and your business.

For a short time, you can listen to (and download for your personal use) the recording of this call here.

During the call we answered a lot of the questions posed to us, but due to time constraints, not all of them could be covered.

So I’ve answered those questions below.

Can this type of marketing be used in any niche? (Danny, Ottawa)

Viral Spiral marketing can be used in any niche where a person who gets what you give them could be incentivized to give it away to somebody else. The person asking the question specifically asked about his site, www.RawStrengthAndFitness.com, and the fitness industry, so I’ll use this as an example.

If Danny has an ebook that he wants to give away about toning the abs, for example, but he also sells a set of workout videos, he could include affiliate links inside the report, and perhaps a discount coupon. People who give away his report using an MVS system would be able to get paid for spreading the word, while both of them generate a bigger list.

Can this system be used to sell other products, such as a multi-level product? If so, how? (Brian from San Ramon)

Within the ebooks you rebrand and giveaway, you can include links to anything you want. Multi-level marketing products would be a great type of product to include, as the affiliate links for those are easy to recreate. The free report given away explains the value or efficacy of the product, provides testimonials perhaps, and shows the reader how to get it. So you would simply write up a 10-20 page report/e-book, include the links to the product, and allow the subscriber to rebrand the report and the links inside with their own.

This proves to be an effective recruiting tool for network marketing.

How to allure people to visit My Viral Spiral site? (Reinhard Schumacher, Germany)

We didn’t talk about traffic on this call, but the point of MVS, in part, is that your subscribers will create the traffic for you. However, you do need to “seed” your traffic, which can be done in a number of ways.

You can use free methods, which I talk about a lot in my report, The Best Advertising Money Can’t Buy (new version coming soon). These include article marketing, Squidoo, traffic exchanges, email list builders, etc.

You can use Pay per click methods such as Google Adwords.

You can use your own autoresponder or partner with someone who has a bigger list than you to promote your rebrandable ebooks.

The best thing to do long term to learn about Web Traffic is to grab a free copy of Glen Hopkins’ Web Traffic Report (it’s mailed to you), as Glen is a leading expert in the area of list building with traffic.

What is the fastest and best method for implementing this program to generate a large list and using this list to generate cash flow? (Clyde - Chesapeake, VA)

Here are my recommended steps…

1. Install MVS Silver on your website (or get the hosted version)
2. Rebrand the 6 included ebooks right away
3. Set the one time offer on each one to a high converting, and related website, using your affiliate link of course
4. Promote your first ebook all over the place (forums, articles, blogs, ezine ads, etc.)
5. Set up the autoresponder within MVS to bring subscribers back to the site to get the other 5 books
6. Go to the MyViralSpiral forum’s JV Heaven (paid members only), and find joint venture partners to promote each other’s site.

Will this have any impact on Butterfly Marketing, specifically on number of MySQL databases? Erwin - Pace

The MVS software runs with just one database. Butterfly Marketing runs on one database. So as long as you are given two you are fine. Most hosts that are good, give you either unlimited or at least ten. That’s why Tim and I recommend Hostgator and Kiosk for this software.

As I said on the call, MVS is like the Butterfly Marketing software of 2007 — it puts viral marketing power into the hands of every day people, and automates a lot of the processes that hold people back from success.

I want to use MVS to promote my ebook “How To Help Kids Learn To Read”. This has nothing to do with IM. Any ideas? (Ali-Melbourne, FL)

I graduated from Palm Bay High School in Melbourne, Ali…. but anyway…

Here’s what Tim mentioned on the call. Take a chapter of your book and turn it into a rebrandable report. Make sure it acts like a lead in product for your ebook.

Sell your ebook on Clickbank, or Paydotcom.com, and get the affiliate link inside your report. Make it rebrandable so your subscribers can be instant affiliates for you.

Second, make sure your newsletter/ezine is discussed in the free report, so you can get people who read the book to join your list.

Third, develop a higher end product, such as a monthly workshop, or membership site for parents of struggling readers. Provide referral contests, monetary incentives, or some other incentive (such as a limited seat workshop) to members with the most referrals. (The MVS system records the top 10 affiliates for the previous week).

Those are just a few ideas for you.

Are the names and emails I gather in my Viral Spiral System harvested by you if I get the MVS Hosted? (Don - Columbia, SC)

The only person who sees the emails of any MVS System, whether free, silver or hosted, is the owner of the system. So Don, if you set up a system with MVS hosted, only you can see the emails.

Even though your members can email their list, they don’t actually see the emails of the people they are emailing.

Don also asks…

Can MVS be connected with Aweber for the double opt-in ability?

First, what you seem to be saying is MVS is not double opt-in, which isn’t true. When a person signs up through the squeeze page, they receive a confirmation email that they MUST click on before they get their report. Until they do so, they are Inactive in the system, and can not receive emails from the referring member. The MVS system owner CAN email them, but only if they specifically send to Inactive members.

In all emails that go out, from the owner of the system or the individual users, an unsubscribe link is presented.

You offered a bonus for the listeners on the call — what was the email? (Scott Drake, Effort PA)

For buyers of MVS through either of these two website links (www.viralspyral.com or www.mvssilver.com), I’m offering you a 7th book to include in your MVS system, which you can rebrand with your affiliate links to 5 programs and give away to your members. The squeeze page is included as well.
To get this bonus, simply forward your receipt to me at bob[at]getthispdf.com.

This offer is also valid for anyone who upgrades after downloading the free trial from www.mvsfreetrial.com.

More questions and answers will be coming tomorrow…

Want to learn the secrets of list building through viral marketing?

Join me as I host a live training seminar with Tim Brocklehurst on Tuesday, September 4, at 4 p.m. Eastern. Discover the power of viral marketing using the methods behind Tim’s Viral Spiral Marketing System.

Tim’s methods and systems have helped eager novices and experienced marketers alike build targeted subscriber lists in record speed. You’ll learn why during this intense and informative call.

You can join this call live, via webcast or dial in from your phone. Jump to the seminar page here.

This call is free to you as a subscriber.

See you on the call!

Bob Jenkins

p.s. To get the most out of this call, please ask a question on the Webcast page before the call.

Long time subscriber Charlie Poxon asked me this morning, “How can I start a list in a new niche?”

This question is a well-timed one actually.

I have two answers for this. One is to find the forums in that niche (Google “your topic forum”), and become an active member. Add your signature to each of your posts, and be helpful.

Make sure people see you as a trustworthy person who adds value to the community. And in your signature file, be sure to link to a squeeze page where you can give away your ezine or free report.

But what if you don’t have an ezine or free report yet….

Well, that’s why this question is so timely. I’ve been talking about MyViralSpiral for some time now, and using it since it’s 1.0 release early this year (the one I’m recommending is now 2.1).

A person who wants to start a list in their new niche has a perfect tool with MVS because it automates that process of giving away the report, and letting your new subscriber give it away, too.

Every referral that comes into the system belongs to their list AND yours.

But there’s one additional perk about MVS that I haven’t stressed, that will help Charlie and others thinking the same thing: “I don’t have the time to write a new report.”

MVS comes with 300 Private Label Rights products that you can use to break up into a subscriber newsletter, a series of articles, or use as a standalone free report.

You can see all the PLR products that come with MVS here.

Personally, I’m reworking the one on Beef Jerky recipes in order to build my list in that targeted niche, so I can build my Jerky Direct business even faster on autopilot. But with 300 to choose from, you have a lot to work with.

And if you don’t find a niche in that list that you are looking for, then simply search at Google for “your term PLR” and see what comes up.

The important thing to remember about MVS is it makes it easy, AND profitable for your subscribers to give away the reports you put into your system.

It comes pre-loaded with 6, but you can put as many in there as you want.

Be sure to watch the video from Saturday’s post to get a clear picture of how it works.

If list building is a major goal of yours, then my strongest recommendation is to grab the MyViralSpiral system for yourself. Get the free trial, test it out, then license the whole package before Tim raises the price (I know this is happening in mere days). His hosted option is great for techno-phobes, but the best option is the Silver (Tim’s support team is superb, too).

To your list building success!

Bob Jenkins

p.s. I’m hosting a call with Tim tomorrow afternoon at 4 p.m. EDT. Watch the blog for an alert — but he’ll be revealing the the strategies behind MyViralSpiral in an intense training session.

After showcasing the user side of a MyViralSpiral system in yesterday’s post, it’s time you saw the real power behind MVS….

…the power you see when you are the owner of a membership site running MyViralSpiral.

Instead of trying to explain it in words, how about a quick video?

Can you see how this system can grow your business?

Get started with these steps…

Step One: Read how the system automates your business…

Step Two: Learn as you build your system for free…

Step Three: Grab the full system before the price increase…

Tim’s MVS Hosted option is the best pick if you have no interest in setting up databases, getting a hosting account, etc. But if you want the best long term deal, definitely go for MVS Silver. Register your domain, get a hosting account, and install Tim’s MyViralSpiral in less than 5 minutes.

On Tuesday, I’ll be hosting a special call with Tim about his system and the viral marketing strategies behind rebrandable ebooks. To get the most out of this call, you need to have either downloaded the free trial, or purchased the Upward Spiral book.

As always, tell me what you think about the video and the ideas behind GetThisPDF and MyViralSpiral in the comments area below…

Have a great Labor Day Weekend!

Bob Jenkins

p.s. My resell rights special price ends later tonight….

I’m often asked how was I able to grow my business so quickly while still teaching full time.

Well, the answer is quite simple, but powerful.

The magic word…

Systems.

Using the power of automation and the internet has been one of the biggest reasons I’ve been successful (finding great mentors and focused work are the other two).

See while I was in front of the classroom teaching 9th graders about the fascinatingworld of the 20th century (ancient history to many of them!), my business was humming along, collecting payments, delivering my products, even sending out emails.

And if you are still working in a regular j-o-b today, you can benefit from systems as well.

There are a number of software systems that I use on a regular basis. Some of them cost a lot of money, and others are down right cheap.

But the main points to remember about any software system are:

1. Is it easy to get up and running?
2. Does it work the way it is supposed to, out of the box?
3. Will I get fantastic results that far surpass the cost of the system?

If you can’t answer these questions with
a strong yes, then you need to run away
from it.

Here are the three main systems that I use which fit those requirements…

1. Butterfly Marketing for my membership sites and bigger affiliate programs
2. Downline Secrets for my network marketing companies, to build “lazy downlines”, and
3. My Viral Spiral to build a list and distribute rebrandable ebooks with affiliate links inside for me AND my subscribers to earn from.

Today, I’d like to focus on the third script, and tell you a bit about what it does.

My Viral Spiral is a system that automates the viral delivery of rebrandable ebooks. What does that really mean?

Well, a rebrandable ebook is a report or ebook that includes affiliate links inside that each reader gets to change and make their own, and earn commissions from.

Then they can give away their version of this same report to build their list and income as well.

This works great for the members of the system because they get a tool (in this case for free), that they can use to drive people to their various websites and affiliate programs. The result, of course, is an automated delivery tool for more subscribers and revenue.

MVS automates this process by making it possible for every single user to have their own squeeze page, their own downloadable report for their new subscribers, AND their own special offer page of their choice while spending absolutely $0 and not having to own a website.

That’s cool enough as it is.

But My Viral Spiral goes one step further when you actually OWN the system.

I’ll tell you about that tomorrow….

For now, go through the MVS system to see how it works from a members point of view. One of my MVS powered-systems is brand new, called GetThisPDF.com (still in pre-launch mode).

And when you download this first free report, you’ll start to see how the MVS system works. I’ll also share with you a special discount on Tim Brocklehurst’s book The Upward Spiral, which explains the entire system in more detail (normally priced at $27, I’m able to share a $10 discount).

Tim is the creator of MVS, and a close friend and business partner. In fact, he has agreed to talk with you Tuesday afternoon with a special training call about building viral ebook systems into your business (details coming soon).

Tomorrow, I’ll tell you more about the system, and how you can get a free trial to this fantastic software, plus a 25% discount on the entire system.

For now, see the MVS system in action for yourself by downloading this introductory report, The Viral Spiral Secret, and take mental notes of what’s going on. Then follow the “Build Your Business” 5 steps to let the spiral loose.

p.s. Remember, if you want to grab the whole picture of how this powerful system can work for your business, before you invest time and money into your own MVS system, use the special discount for The Upward Spiral you’ll get when you download the free report.

After working together on DiscovercPanel, Chris and I discovered several questions that seemed to pop up…

Questions that may not have been covered in the videos as much as you might have liked.

Specifically, questions about web hosting before you even get to the cPanel.

So I have just finished writing a brand new report, and you can download it for free right now.

You can also find the report in the Unadvertised Bonuses page at www.DiscovercPanel.com.

But before you check it out, I have even better news for you.

I have made the new report a bit special. I have made it rebrandable.

So this means, in addition to learning “The 7 Questions You Did Not Know To Ask About Web Hosting,” you will also be able to give the same report away anywhere online, and earn commissions for your referrals to DiscovercPanel and several other affiliate programs.

The rebrandable report comes with a built in delivery system, my new GetThisPDF.com ebook resource and viral list builder, based on the MyViralSpiral system from Tim Brocklehurst.

To put it simply, you can learn and earn from this new report…

Enjoy!
