It’s been quite some time since my last post here and even more since I host a guest writer. But I was really busy with my new product launch.

Anyway, here’s a great article…

Last night I had dinner with Joe Vitale and Pat O’brien.

Pat wrote “The Portable Empire” book published by Wiley Press. Joe has written 30 best sellers and, most recently, took his fame to another level by being featured in “The Secret.”

Joe’s one of those guys who could have an ego bigger than New York, but doesn’t. He’s one of brightest, most giving individuals you’ll meet. And puffs on a mean, Cuban cigar.

I won’t reveal his secret here.

But Joe has banged out 30 books and he literally can’t type! He hacks away at the keyboard. Joe turned his “cant’s” into “dones”. He didn’t let excuses stop him.

Pat used to be a blues musician. He toured Europe a lot and had a nice following.

But all that changed when he bartered guitar lessons with Joe Vitale in exchange for a ticket to his Spiritual Marketing seminar.

Pat got inspired.

In one weekend, he created his first product.

I tell people this all the time. Creating a product doesn’t need to take forever. 99% of creating a product is in your head. It’s in the decision to do it.

Pat sold more copies of his first product in a few days than he did CD’s all month long on his tours. And he could stay at home and not have the grind of travel.

So Pat got into this business.

Later, he penned his book Portable Empire that has been a big hit. He also holds “unseminar” seminars on marketing. Which are his own laid back version of seminars.

One of the things we did last night was brainstorm a new USP or big promise for Pat.

I explained to him that you can break sales letters down into direct and indirect leads or formulas, a tidbit I learned from Michael Masterson at awaionline.com.

Anyway, we figured a direct lead would be best for Pat. The two direct leads you use most often are problem/solution and big promise.

Neither Joe nor I really like or specialize in the problem/solution lead. So we use the big promise.

I reckon we spent 20 or 30 minutes noodling around, fishing for a big idea or promise for Pat’s product.

See, the concept of the portable empire is to create digital products and sell them over the Internet. But lots of people teach that. What I explained to Pat is that he needs to have a specific promise.

Then take that promise and carry it through his blog, boot tiles and everything else.

We finally came up with a pretty good idea for Pat.

So here you are.

If you’ve been following me, you’ve broken down your bills into daily amounts. You know you need to generate leads via ppc, seo or an affiliate program.

What’s all this talk ’bout Pat and Joe got to do with YOUR bills? Or what does it have to do with all this Twitter talk I’ve been dishin’ out?

TWITTER: This is how I reconnected with Pat and Joe. I’m met both a year ago at Pat’s UnSeminar. But we lost touch.

On Twitter, within a week, we reconnected. And that’s how we ended up doing dinner.

Here’s my video on Tweet Deck if you haven’t seen it yet!

BILLS: I told in the story above how Pat created his first product in a weekend. And he sold more of it in a few days than he normally did CDs in a whole month of touring as a blues musician.

What about YOU?

If an ex blues musician can create a product in a weekend, don’t you think YOU might be able to?

And if you DO that, now what kind of impact do you think that’d have on you paying your bills?

Let’s say you sell your product for $50. And you sell one a week. That’s a $200 bill erased.

Let’s say that you promote affiliate products to the people who buy your main product. That might be another $50 or $100 a month there. So you erase another bill or two.

And what happens if instead of selling 2 a week, you sell one a day.

If you convert 1% of visitors to buyers, to sell one a day, you need 100 visitors a day.

If you were on my Ateam call last week, you know how to use Twitter to get a lot more than 100 visitors a day.

If you follow the system for converting leads to sales in rows 4 and 5 of Promo Dashboard, you’ve got a good shot at turning 10% of your leads to sales.

That would mean you only need 10 or 20 visitors a day to get the sale a day.

Or, if you bid on keywords on Google that have LESS than 7 ads, you’ll get clicks for whatever the minimum bid is. With a great quality score, you can get clicks for a penny to a nickel. It’s possible. People do it. I won’t say getting a great QS on Google is easy.

It isn’t.

But it can be done if you focus on it.

At dinner last night, I told Joe I thought you could get good at about anything you put your mind to. He being big into the law of attraction and such agreed.

One of the things I noticed last night is that I kept bouncing around from idea to idea as I’m prone to do. Joe kept coming back to the point we were discussing.

Focus.

It’s why I created Ockham’s Razor. You can’t see, move and finish unless you focus. You can’t focus unless you simplify.

Once you simplify, you can document your systems and outsource to the Philippines as John Jonas teaches.

Or, if you only want to do the SEO Lies method, Justin Brooke can teach you how to outsource that.

Do you see how all this fits together? That’s why I call it Marlon’s Master Plan. It all fits together.

Need to pay your bills? How ’bout following the steps in Ockham’s Razor to start? How about using Product Dashboard to create your own product and Promo Dashboard to promote it?

Just a thought.

People say, “Marlon, I don’t have money. I can’t afford to buy what you’re selling.”

But the people who post to my blog who DO have money, all have their own products! They DO what I teach.

Watch that. Notice the difference in the blog posts between the people who HAVE money and the people who don’t.

You’ll find most of the “haves” have because they HAVE their own products. And that’s why they have.

Now, nothing wrong with building your list to start and promoting affiliate products. Nothing wrong with that at all. But eventually you wanna fall in the “have” category.

It’s interesting to see the number of people coming back to my blog saying, “Marlon, I strayed. I followed the bright shiny objects. I tried to take the easy route. But I’ve come back to your teachings and wish I’d never left.”

Read the blog. You’ll see those comments.

This is the straight and narrow path. It isn’t always the easiest. My Ateamers, my folks, they follow the path less taken. Let me hear YOUR feedback on my blog

The promise of earning profits without really doing much of anything has enticed a lot of people towards affiliate marketing. But does affiliate marketing really work this way?

As an affiliate, all that is required of you is to simply place the merchant’s ad on your website. Then after that, you virtually do nothing but wait for anyone to click on the merchant’s ad and later collect your profits. Easy, right? Well, not quite often.

Many affiliates earn almost nothing from their affiliate programs simply because they do nothing. Remember that affiliate marketing is but another form of marketing, and you’ll definitely need to market your merchant’s product for you to earn something.

Successful affiliates in any affiliate program simply don’t sit there and wait for money to come. Why? Because there is no money in simply sitting and waiting. If you want to be successful in affiliate marketing and if you want to continually grow your affiliate checks, you’ve got to do something.

Think of ways on how to promote your merchant’s business and products better. Think of ways on how to induce other people to click on the link or ad provided to you by your merchant. Think of ways on how to make your affiliate sales increase!

So if you’re new in affiliate marketing and you try to follow the easy go lucky pit that most unsuccessful affiliate marketers follow, then you’re definitely on the wrong track. But we’re not advising you to stop right there. No. Rather, we want you to take some steps to make your affiliate program work better and gain more commissions for you. How? Here are a few guidelines that may help you to continually grow your affiliate checks:

* Become an expert on your affiliate product.

You can promote your merchant’s product better if you know a lot of things about it. To become an expert, the best thing you can do is purchase your merchant’s product yourself. This way, you can tell your customers about your first-hand experience using the product. You can even write a testimonial or a personal endorsement ad about it. But if any condition does not permit you to purchase the product, you can at least make a thorough research about it.

* Host your own website.

Or at least have a domain name that is short and easy to remember. You certainly wouldn’t expect a visitor to remember a very long and incomprehensible URL. And if that’s so, you also wouldn’t expect him to visit your website any time soon. That means less traffic for your page and the less chance for your affiliate ads and links to be clicked.

It is also a good idea to create a private website and offer access to it to anybody who clicks on any of your affiliate ads. Visitors usually get interested with these private websites. Private websites also gives you a venue to promote your back-end affiliate products.

* Write your own affiliate ads!

Many merchants usually wouldn’t mind if you write and design your own ads for their products, for as long as you ask permission from them and present them your ad before posting it on your site. This gives you a greater advantage over a lot of other affiliates who must be advertising the same affiliate products.

* Participate in chat rooms, discussion boards, and forums related to your product.

If you use to ignore them before, then it is time for you to start focusing your attention on them. You can start your own chat or join an existing chat related to your product. You don’t have to promote your affiliate product at once, but find the chance to advertise and promote it as you go along. The same would be true for message boards, discussion boards and forums.

Also, don’t forget to take advantage of the new boom of Web 2.0 applications and powerful websites. Use cutting edge tools like widgets from a service like The Widgeteers, a free service that allow you to advertise to a large crowd of targeted websites.

* Create a free ezine or newsletter.

Ezines and newsletters are periodical publications whose aim is to inform a group of people about a certain subject. In your ezines and newsletters, you don’t always have to promote your merchant’s product for this may greatly annoy your subscribers. Rather, find a way to insert your affiliate ads and links on some portions of the letter. Also, don’t forget to promote your ezine or newsletter on your website.

These are but a few guidelines on how you can increase your affiliate sales and continually grow your affiliate checks. Sure there can be a lot of other tips that out there, and if you think they would work, we won’t discourage you from following them.

What’s important is that you be able to find a way to: attract more traffic to your site, induce your visitors to click on the ads on your site, and be able to promote your merchant’s products even outside the boundary of your website. If you can do these, there’s no reason for you to fail in affiliate marketing.

Tip of the Day: How to Create an Outline For All of Your Article

We’ve done it through junior high, it expanded longer through high school, then on college it became chapters.

While there are a great number of people who do not have the same attitude in article writing as others, there are still those who would rather walk in piping hot coals than do some article writing. What set other people apart from other towards article writing is that they are prepared and has some methods and procedures in writing articles.

One of the methods you can use to prepare yourself when tasked to write in article is creating an outline first. Creating an outline for all your articles makes you prepared. You have an idea of what to do first and make a plan for your succeeding steps. Being prepared makes the job easier and faster. Being organized will allow for disorientation to be shunned away.

An outline can act as the design or blueprint for your article. This will guide you in creating the introduction, body and conclusion of your article. Here in this point, you can write down some of the ideas and sentences that you feel will look good in your article. This could be some of the focal point that could help make your article creative, interesting and appealing to a reader.

A carefully planned and fully prepared project would guarantee and ensure a problem and worry free procedure that can virtually go without any hassles. Creating an outline for all your articles will get you ready and breeze through writing an article in no time at all. Here I will provide you with some tips and guidelines in how to create an outline for all of your articles.

Do a couple of brainstorming and jot down your brilliant ideas first. Think of some ways to attract the interest of your reader. Designate a time frame where you can write down all the ideas that you can use for your articles. By this time you should have done all your research and information searching. Review and reread your ideas and notes, gain mastery and sufficient familiarity with your topic so that writing them down later own would be easy for you.

The next step is to discover your sub topic and sub titles. As you would provide a first sentence for your article, one that would immediately grab the attention of your reader, you would need some as well for your sub topics. To be concise, you would need to get all the facts that will support and go against your point.

These are the frames or skeleton of your article, now its time to add the flesh and the meat of your article. You will need to connect all your paragraphs and sub topics. This will form the body of your Article. While the introduction will usher in the ideas of your paragraph, you will need a conclusion. The conclusion will wrap up your points and drive in what you are saying in your article.

The outline for your article would also require you to write a draft first. This may take more than one attempt but remember that it is called a draft for a reason. Your outline shall be perfected as each draft is written and this draft is meant for your eyes only so there’s no reason to feel ashamed.

As you go on, you will clearly see the bigger picture and write an article that will perfectly suit what is demanded of it.

Re-read and re-read what you have written down. Always refer to your outline so that you wont drift away from what you had first written down. Its not hard to be caught in the moment and get lost in your writing frenzy. Your outline will help you keep in track. All those hours spent in outlining your article will not go to waste.

This will serve as your guide in writing articles. Trust and rely on your outline because this will prove to be a very helpful tool in writing all of your articles.

At last, if you ant to take full advantage out of your article, just spread the word and let people post you masterpiece into their websites. And don’t forget to use a software like ArticleAnnouncer to submit automatically your article to 1,372 ezine publishers in 50 different categories.
