A Guest Article By Jimmy D. Brown, PLR Special Offers

Content is king. It gets to wear the crown. And sit on the throne. And rule the world. When it comes to establishing credibility, gaining trust and producing sales, content is royalty.

While I would never suggest abandoning the concept of delivering high quality content to your subscribers, there is another type of list composed of subscribers who couldn’t care less about content.

“What is this type of list?” you ask.

- > The “announcement list”.

I’ve been teaching about the “announcement” list since at least 2002 (on record at an event). And, yet, it’s a widely untapped asset in most email marketing circles.

The main reason is: nobody’s teaching it. And so, nobody knows anything about it, let alone how to effectively create one of these lists.

So, we’re going to revisit it.

————————————-
What Is An “Announcement” List?
————————————-

DEFINED: An announcement list is a list whose sole purpose is to “announce” (I.E. Inform, notify) when something new
is available for review, consumption or purchase.

In other words, it unapologetically says, “Hey, I just released XYZ. Come check it out!”

Now, at first glance you may be thinking, “Who would join a list that offers no content and only sales pitch?”

If you say it that way, it doesn’t sound too good to me either! That’s why you don’t say it that way. Let’s take a look at HOW to “say it”…

————————————-
How About An Example “Announcement” List?
————————————-

If you go to this site:

http://PLRSO.com
you’ll find a textbook example of this concept. PLRSO stands for “Private Label Rights Special Offers”. I established this list for the sole purpose of informing people anytime I have a new PLR offer available for them to buy.

That’s it.

I don’t send out ezine articles to them. No newsletters. They don’t get blog posts. There aren’t any special reports. No content of any kind. What they get, in essence, are sales messages.

And there are already 2,822 subscribers, many of which have already purchased some of the PLR special offers that
have been “announced” to the list.

Why does it work? Let me give you plenty of reasons…

1. I took something that was “in-demand” (PLR) and I allow people to get a head-start on the world by knowing about
new releases FIRST by joining this list.

2. It’s not billed as an “announcement list”, but rather a “Free PLR Club”. Big, big difference in perception.

3. It has it’s own domain name, further adding to the perceived value and importance to those who join.

4. There is no requirement to buy once you join. Buy the offers that you want, pass on the ones you don’t want.

5. A cost example is provided to show what you can buy immediately, further illustrating the value of the complimentary “membership”.

And here’s the big twist that makes this idea of creating an “announcement” list a complete no-brainer…

I allow my affiliates to “give away” complimentary memberships to the PLRSO club!

When someone they refer buys one of the offers, they earn a commission. And I get other people to promote and build
my list for me. We all win.

So, you may be thinking…

————————————-
What Kind Of “Announcement” List can I Build?
————————————-

There are a wide variety of “announcement” lists that you can build. Let’s briefly look at ten of them…

* PLR List. You can swipe my idea and create a list of private label rights buyers.

* New Offers List. Build a list of people who love your work and want to be notified any time you have a new offer available.

* Pre-Launch List. Create buzz and anticipation for an upcoming new product release by building a pre-launch list several weeks (even months) in advance.

* Ezine Publishers List. Build a list of publishers who want to know any time you have a new ezine article that is available for reprint in their ezines.

* Bloggers List. Another idea is to allow bloggers who are looking for ready-made content to post to their blogs.

* Industry News List. How about becoming the “go to” guy or gal to share breaking news about your industry?

* Joint Venture List. Develop a list of partners and affiliates who are ready to promote anytime you have a new offer.

* Incentives List. Here’s a great idea – create a list of people who you offer “incentives” to when they purchase someone else’s new product through YOUR affiliate link.

* Freebie List. Regularly give away rebrandable content (reports, articles, videos, etc.) to these subscribers to earn commissions.

While all ten of these lists aren’t necessarily “buyers” up front, they each can certainly lead to buyers and revenue for you if you implement them.

Content is king. But let’s not forget that there are a lot of queens, princes, dukes and earls out there too.

I’ve just read a really great post by Paul Evans,  someone whose expertise and business ethic I admire. I thought it would be appropriate to share it with you because I couldn’t have said it any better myself . . .

Making Plans
by Paul Evans
Nicheology

What about YOUR P.L.A.N.S.?

What is YOUR online business going to look like at the end of 2009?

P = Pinpoint Your Destination
—————————————————

Where are you going? What will it take to get there?

For example… One of the Nicheology members wrote me about her plan to use the resources and training on the site. She knows where she is going. She knows how she will get there. It’s a great plan! I’m excited about watching her progress.

What’s your destination for this year?

L = Leave Your Excuses Behind
————————————————-

“My product isn’t good enough.” “There’s too much competition.” “I don’t have any guru friends.” Whaaaaaah!!

(Sniff. Sniff. Wiping a tear.)

There are FAR TOO MANY people all too happy to provide a reason they cannot do something. Why they cannot make money. Why the entire internet marketing world is set against them.

Don’t be one of them (there are plenty). Write down all your “Yes” reasons and leave the whining to the majority.

A = Activate Your Avenue
———————————————-

You do not have to make money the same way others do.

I have an avenue. A format. A formula. A model. A method. Call it what you want. It works. Everyday I follow a simple online business ritual. Day in and day out. Nothing fancy. And it pays off big time.

What’s yours? What is your avenue? What type of online business do you want to build?

So many people do not know the answers to those questions. If you can answer them clearly and specifically, you’ll be amazed at the momentum you gain.

Nicheology

N = Navigate the Narrows
——————————————–

Take a few minutes and search for online business opportunities. (But don’t give in to the hype copy!) You’ll find hundreds possibilities. The masses are diving into the unknown daily. They see the through a wide angle lens. They see hope and riches.

Now pull back. Think for a moment.

What does it REALLY take to make money online? 3 things : 1. Traffic. 2. List. 3. Conversions. Just a little TLC.

That’s it. It’s the narrows. A narrow focus. Yet you don’t see a lot of people concentrating solely on those things. They get caught up in the latest fad. Buying the latest huge release without a clue of the real impact it might have.

Go narrow. Go simple. Win big.

S = Success is NOT an Accident.
—————————————————-

If you have been part of Nicheology or this profit letter for any length of time you are probably sick of me saying that. Well, I am not stopping.

Your success will be up to…. You.

You will not wake up tomorrow with money in your inbox without having done something. Either today or in the past. It doesn’t just happen.

The next couple of days I’ll spend with folks making on average $500K+ online a year. What’s weird is that it wasn’t a miracle. They all worked. Most work MUCH HARDER than they ever let people know.

There will not be one person in the room that I will look at and say, “Wow. He/She sure is lucky.” It’s not luck. And it’s not a mistake.

It happened through P.L.A.N.S. What’s yours?

Success is NOT an Accident!!!
Paul

P.S. There is absolutely no reason not to join the most valuable niche focused site on the web… Nicheology.  It’s flat out cheap compared to the value!

===============================

That’s some great food for thought, isn’t it?

And I love his point to “go narrow”. I’m finding that the more I ignore the “launch du jour” and focus on my own PLAN the more success I have. I’m also finding PLR content to be a tremendous time saver as well as an idea sparker.

Right now, Nicheology is celebrating its 5 Year Anniversary with new content, a new site design and loads of new updated training that can lead you along the path to real internet marketing success. That’s a long history of helping and training internet entrepreneurs. I encourage you to Click Here to check out what’s going on. It’s great stuff!

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 2
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire”

Pop quiz time.  What does “HTML” stand for?  Don’t know that one?  How about this – what does “FTP” stand for? OK,
one more chance.  Do you know how to work with either?

That brings me to the second reason why I love affiliate marketing…

** You don’t need to build a website **

What scares people more than creating a product is building a website!

* What in the world is HTML?  Or FTP?
* How much does the software cost?  And hosting?
* How do I upload files?
* Why isn’t it formatted correctly?
* Why don’t my graphics look like the ones the pros have?

If you are a complete beginner, it can be very difficult (even using templates) to get an attractive website in place.
And hiring a professional to do it for you is out of the budget for most people.

But, with affiliate marketing, you don’t need to build a website.  You simply send visitors to someone else’s
professionally designed site through your affiliate link.

SIDEBAR:  Just in case you’re interested, HTML stands for “hypertext markup language” and is the coding
used to build web pages.  FTP stands for “file transfer protocol” and is the process used for moving files
from your computer to a website, or vice versa.

Really, in a manner of looking at it, you get to take advantage of the time and money invested by someone else
to develop the site.  Think about it:  when you promote an affiliate link, it reflects firstly upon YOU.  You are the
one who is advertising the link, recommending the product, sending people who have interacted with YOU to the website.

The professional site of someone else really represents you as the promoter, in the eye of those who have clicked
through your link.

You get the benefits without the bother.

That’s why I love affiliate marketing.

You don’t need to build a website.

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 1
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire”

Do you find yourself “starting” to create your own product to sell online, but never “finishing” it?

One of the things I love about affiliate marketing is –

** You don’t need to create your own products **

Many people find the idea of creating their own products to be an overwhelming and even paralyzing task.

* I don’t have any good ideas!
* I’m not a writer!
* There’s too much competition!
* I don’t know how to set everything up!
* I can’t figure out where to start!
* It’s too hard!

These are just a few of the valid reasons many people give when it comes to not creating their own products to sell.
I’m sure with a few minutes of brainstorming, we could come up with a list of many more.

With affiliate marketing, you don’t need your own products. You simply promote someone else’s already proven successful offer for a commission.

And, truth be told, even if you ARE a writer and you DO have lots of ideas and you CAN figure it all out…

** Nobody wants to create new products all the time **

As good as you may be, you don’t know everything!  Why try to create a product on every topic imaginable in your
market when you can earn just as much money by simply promoting someone else’s really good offer as one of your
profit streams?

That’s why I love affiliate marketing.

You don’t need to create your own products.
