RE: Authors JV.. help your list and earn easy commissions

Do you have an email list of authors, entrepreneurs or others who might be
interested in getting major national publicity?

If so, my friend Steve Harrison has an affiliate opportunity you might want
to check out. He’s offering a free telephone seminar next Thursday,
January 31st with a former Oprah guest booker on how to get booked as a
guest on top national TV shows. You’ll make a commission on a publicity
how-to product and conference he’s offering.

Last year, publicity how-to product converted at 7.4% which means the
average affiliate made $5.02 in commissions for each and every person they
got registered for the free teleseminar. This year, Steve has sweetened
the offer for affiliates by also agreeing to pay them on the conference as
well.

In any event, to get all the details and sign up, go here now:

I’ve been doing a lot of tracking and research to find what people on my online mailing list are most interested.

The results have been very helpful in planning my business and promotions for the next year.

I have a several mailing lists. Primarily, there is my list of authors. I’ve discovered that when I talk a about writing and selling books, or at least something related to that , the response is 2-300% higher than general offers.

My success oriented list lover to hear about new products, but the message must have the right keywords for them.

One odd finding. Many mailing lists do not respond as well to “here’s how to make a lot of money” offers. The authors like to make money. The success seekers like to make money.. they just don’t like anything that comes off as a scheme.

I’ve also found that readers respond best to “the real me”.. messages from the heart. So when I talk about my own discoveries, products I’m using and especially books I’m reading, the click through rate on offers goes up.

How about you?

Readers of my Partner News page are usually on my “Partners” list. When I talked about getting new leads for your business, attracting new readers for your mailing list, and getting the word out about your own book (many are also on my “authors” list) I get great response.

Do you want to make money?

Yes, but my research shows that as a group, you are savvy enough to know that you aren’t going to find one magic pill, a new web tool, or secret handshake that unlocks all the wealth.

And what about your list?

Have you asked your mailing list what they want to hear about?  What issue are troubling them? What help they are looking for? and most of all what would the like to read about in your next newsletter?

Tracking is nice. Real comments from real people even better. Please leave a comment. Let’s talk about what you want to see here on the PARTNER NEWS page and what kind of joint ventures and cross promotions we should feature.

Would you like more money making offers?

More “best seller book” campaigns

Do you appreciate our focus on qualified leads? 

I follow what Tinu says. She knows how to get free traffic.

Joint Ventures, whether there is an affiliate commission or not, get you targeted traffic and social proof (a strong recommendation that isn’t viewed with cynicism like most ads).

I just added a new “lens” (page) at Squidoo (you do use Squidoo for free promotion, right?)

Another “lens” will be for “Talking With Giants”, a part of the next Mega Success Day we’re planning for January.

While there, I got thinking.. why not give away a bunch of stuff on Squidoo.. and so my FREE BOOK MARKETING lens was born.

If you market to authors, or those that want to be authors, give me something to give away and I’ll promote it. Or if you have an interesting promotion idea for authors, books, publishers or webmasters leave a comment here and we’ll pick several to feature on the “lens”

It’s FREE to get started on Squidoo.. I suggest you grab a lens URL while there are still great names available.

Only take a few seconds to sign up. You can build the page later.

Scott Kiere and A.S. Kerself have collaborated with you on a new book.. now going out to millions of readers through our best seller blast promotion.

Our book marketing plan has come together with 97 participating partner, dozens of free bonus gifts and cross promotions that will build the partners online mailing list with new readers, prospects and sales leads.

I’ll have rank updates on twitter and Facebook, and here of course. What I won’t be able to report is the dozens of new deals that come from partners and readers connecting. It’s very common for me to talk to a partner that has been with us for a short while.. and hear about them buying a book, going through the free gifts that are associated, and finding several new partners for their own promotions.

The book is worth the few bucks. Go ahead a grab a copy, and maybe send out a few as gifts. (think about it.. don’t you open EVERY Amazon box the second it arrives?  I’ll be your clients and prospects do to).

I’ve sent out several to people I want to stay connected with. I just add a note during the Amazon checkout that says “thought you might enjoy this” and my name. (also a free promotion idea).

Have you signed up?
