Ebay sellers who used to gain traffic using auctions for digital products of small purchases in order to generate leads for their backend higher value products have been stymied by the change of rules from a new Ebay administration. Now if you still wish to sell digital products for instant download you must create an eBay store. This does not have quite the same ease of use that the old system had.

Never let it be said though, that a marketer lets an obstacle get in their way. An obstacle is an opportunity for a new product! There’s nothing new as such about the following system but suddenly there is a new high demand for it’s usage. The bridge across this obstacle is that if your digital product is in a physical form, the restriction is not applied.

Who has the time? Time to actually format, burn, arrange the printing of covers and the packaging and post a CD and keep track of it? While still creating good blog posts, web pages, seeking out links, broadcasting email messages, monitoring adwords and all the other jobs a marketer has to find time for? No one.

Well DiscMojo has solved the “create and mail a CD” problem. At least so far as burning a CD and handling delivery (while also generating that important lead and adding it to your list, which is what it’s all about). And it’s solved it in such a way that gives sellers a golden opportunity to provide higher perceived value for their entry level product (or any other product you may choose to sell including high ticket products).

Burning and delivering CDs and DVDs can also be the better option , especially for videos and audios, which are notoriousely difficult to deliver via download to dial up customers.

So if you haven’t seen it, allow me to introduce you to DiscMojo, a brand new software that allows you to ship your physical CDs/DVD’s to your customers mailbox wherever in the world they are. It only takes a few minutes time to set up and comes in a software format (rather than a mind boggling PHP script) .

There is no need to spend your valuable hours trying to package, label and ship your CD/DVD’s to your customers. The DiscMojo Software will completely automate the process, integrate with most popular autoresponders and handle the delivery of your products. Simply set up DiscMojo on your server and upload your product to Kunaki and you are all set to receive orders. You can even place different products on one page.

As soon as your customer pays for the product (using the order page DiscMojo creates), your product will be burned into CD’s, professionally packed with a label you designed and delivered to your customer using the kunaki CD fulfilment service.

Don’t just think in terms of tutorial courses. Imagine using it to sell your own music, to deliver a photo or graphics package, to sell public domain videos or package up some games. Whatever it may be easier or more fun to receive on CD can be delivered for less than $2 a CD and the cost of postage.

Let me ask you something – If you were given a choice between buying a course with videos and an ebook for $97 and spending a full day downloading it – or – the same course mailed to you on CD/DVD in a nicely-packaged DVD format in a case for $97, (postage and packing included or at a nominal extra rate) which would you purchase?

You know the answer don’t you?

1. Physical products have a greater perceived value and sell for much higher prices than digital products.
2. Physical products have very low refund rates because your customers have received something tangible and they enjoy getting things through the mail!
3. Your customers who have not got all day to spend downloading a large file will leap at the chance to save time (and the space on their hard drive) by having a disk version.

You’re worried this is going to cost you a fortune? You couldn’t be more wrong. DiscMojo is so reasonably priced it’s a shock! You’re sure it’s going to take days figuring it all out? Wrong again, it takes very little time at all! The delivery page has a video tutorial on how to install and use the software and kunaki, so you don’t even have to think about what goes where. Follow the step by step instructions – a teenager could do it. OK, yes, you will need a product to put on a CD and a graphic cover for it, but if you look at the OTO even that’s a no brainer.

So quit thinking up excuses and go see for yourself.

Consider this scenario… (FYI voodooguru is not a real site)
…you have somehow collected 6518 emails in your inbox, of which 4592 are unread and now you are looking for the single one you want (that you saw when it arrived but had no time to deal with then), such as the support email you got 2 days ago regarding an installation problem. Well you have a spare hour and now you are ready to put to good use it’s information and correct your problem…

The list email name of the product is milliondollars@voodooguru.com

First you look under M, but it’s not there. So then you check V but it’s not there either. Then you strain your brain thinking of other possibles such as

support@voodooguru.com
admin@voodooguru.com
helpdesk@voodooguru.com
service@voodooguru.com

Finally you resort to the find feature hoping voodoo is in the email address. It turns out that the from address is Customer Support and the email is under C or that the email address is ryan@voodooguru.com, the name of the help desk technician who is helping you and it’s filed under R.

In the interests of myself, my sanity and the sanity of thousands of people who suffer from emailosis (over stuffed inbox syndrome) – please consider using an initial or word prefix before your descriptive prefix in the email address such as

voodoo-support@voodooguru.com
VGadmin@voodooguru.com
VG-helpdesk@voodooguru.com
vg_service@voodooguru.com
vg-ryan@voodooguru.com

Or with an auto responder address try naming the from field with your site name and then using the specific section

Voodoo Guru Support
Voodoo Guru Recommended Products
Voodoo Guru Help Desk
Voodoo Guru Sales
Voodoo Guru Customer Service

and then all your email addresses will list together when sorted with the FROM field because they’ll be prefixed by the first letter or words of your website . And, yes, I was guilty of doing this too and I wish I had thought about this before I created my own domain email addresses and yes I did make a special trip to aweber just to change all my FROM fields. On a similar theme and because it also helps to advertise …

Use the Email Signature Function

This was one of the emails I found in my inbox while sorting through it.

Give away events can be a great way for new marketers to pick up freebies and great information, graphics, ebooks and software and they are a highly recommended way to continue to build a list. I’m sure that you don’t need to be sold on the powerful benefits of participating in a Give Away event. But before you start plunging into one, be sure to have the following essentials checked.

Your Own Mailing List!

Give Away events are pretty similar to ad swaps in that it’s using subscribers to make subscribers. And bear in mind, that having your own mailing list isn’t quite enough; you need to have a quite a large one.

Organisers and other participants don’t want a free rider in any Give Away event. Period. Unless you can contribute subscribers almost up to par with other partners, you’re better off not joining a Give Away event in the first place.

Most Give Away event hosts are strict about partners having a minimum mailing list size before participating in their event. Also, it’s important to note that you have to be willing and agree to their minimum mailing frequency to your mailing list; notifying your subscribers about the event you’re joining.

While not all Give Away events are equal in their system, quality and results, you can qualify for a big number of Give Away events as long as you have over 1,000 opt-in subscribers.

Doesn’t it seem that everywhere you turn when you start, there’s an obstacle? So just how do you build a list so you can participate? Everyone says you need one. I guess the answer to that is the same as the answer to how do you build a wall? – One brick at a time.

The simpler your optin page the better, the more value you giveaway the better, the more traffic you send to it, the better. Here’s an example

http://www.richnicheblogging.com/dl/Free_Viral_Tools.html

And then what do you do with it when it is built? You have to send regular messages. So step backwards and first get your autoresponder responsive with a few months of content. Make a simple optin form with a picture, the form boxes, a good headline, and some bullet points. Then send it traffic and if you have to use adwords to do this, then pay to do it.

A thousand people seems like a lot and it is! It’s 3-4 people a day for a year. So starting now is the best idea, because once its set, you can almost forget about it, but it won’t do you much good if its the last thing you do.

When you do have a few people on your list, you can start to send those people a request for them to share your optin page with their friends, you can bookmark it, you can blog about it, you can put it in your signature file. The more you drive traffic here to the free stuff, the more likely it is that when you offer something that people must pay for – it will be considered favourably.

So start on the list building today and think of it as seeding the fields for a harvest.

I read a forum post last week that I wanted to bring to your attention. The author of the post explained he wanted to share his experience to give people new to marketing, a little taste of what’s possible using adsense and adwords.

Using plr content, an existing template he had for a website, with affiliate links and adsense ads, he setup an adwords campaign for the competitive niche of mortgage refinancing. He chose 7 different phrases with a keywords analyzer that he thought sounded like a good “type in” search.

Targeting those keywords, he made a landing page, added it to an existing site, and then he advertised it with a pay per click campaign in 20 minutes. He made a $30 qualified lead commission from getsmart.com and $12.61 in adsense and it cost him $3.62 in adwords.

You can read the whole posting – the follow ups and the comments and also his downfall, something that we are all prone to, in this strategy – at the 5 star affiliate forum.

I just discovered this excellent forum and I highly recommend you take a look. There is something to interest both beginner and advanced affiliates from both sides of the partnership. I’ll give you more information on the members site soon.

I just wanted, as this affiliate did, for you to see that it does work and it can work well. So long as you take action and follow the steps needed to make it work.

Now if you want ridiculous proof you can check out this site that I also found mentioned on the forum http://www.S.eriously.com. Maybe I should change my blog colour to green.

Google AdSense is a fast and absolutely ridiculously easy way for people with websites of all types and sizes to put up and display relevant Google ads on the content pages of their site and earn money.

Because the Google AdSense ads relate to what your visitors came to your site to read about, or because the ads match up to the interests and characteristics of the kind of people your content attracts, you have here a way to improve your content pages with some great resources AND make some money from them.

Google AdSense is also a way for site owners to provide Google search capability to visitors and to earn a little more money by putting Google ads on the search results pages. Google AdSense gives you the ability to earn advertising revenue from every single page on your website—with a minimal investment of your time

So what kind of ads do you have to put up? That’s the good part—you don’t have to decide. Google does it for you. AdSense always delivers relevant ads that are precisely targeted—on a page-by-page basis—to the content that people find on your site. For example, if you have a page that tells the story of your pet fish, Google will send you ads for that site that are for pet stores, fish food, fish bowls, aquariums…you get the picture?

If you decide you want to add a Google search box to your site, then AdSense will deliver relevant ads targeted to the Google search results pages that your visitors’ search request generated.

I have added a block of code to this post. As I write this, I don’t know what Google will display but it may pick up on fish or bogging or adsense, all of which are topics covered in the post. It fascinates me what turns up in these boxes.

After I’ve finished this post I’m going to add a block of code to the sidebar. This skyscraper will pick up on keywords depending on which post is showing at the time.

When you have a few posts in your blog you can apply for an Adsense account. Just click on the button to go to the Adsense site and sign up. Its free to sign up but you will need to wait a little while until you are approved. The great thing about Google Adsense is that are not strict about who can display their ads. If you have a website that they can find the url of, they will almost definitely approve your account.

Other companies may require you to have more than a few pages before approval and some will want an extensive site first. Start with Google Adsense. After Adsense there are many other options to choose from, such as Yahoo or MSN, and also non search companies. Ad Networks will not always permit a mixed display, so check your terms of service documents before adding a new advertising network to a blog where you already have impressions from Adsense or any other form of advertising.
