The problem I’m concerned with is what will happen when I have 20 or products on the home page, it will get too big for folk to see. Can’t WordPress categorize all the posts say after 3 product reviews so my customers can find all my reviews. I find blogs much harder to understand than static web pages.

Your advice will be much appreciated

Just go to http://www.discovercpanel.com and look for the members login link in the upper right hand corner.

Use your email and password you used to register on the site with and inside you will see a link that says referral or something similar, but I think even in your profile you will find your affiliate id.

Looks like your website is an affiliate site, is that correct?

I noticed that your images are not showing which would result in a lack of conversions. People like to see what they’re buying in a physical form.

That’s why even though we sell digital downloads, we have box shots of physical products to represent them.

As for your ebook idea, are you trying to sell a number of ebooks from one website? I’m not sure that I would recommend that. What I would do instead, is hire a GhostWriter if you’re not good at writing like me and get them to write the book for you.

There is nothing wrong with outsourcing the work. I do that as well, I have a project that I’d like to complete and I am not sure if I have the time to commit to doing it so I may outsource the work even though I know the material backwards.

You can also grab PLR ( Private Label Rights ) products and slap your name on it and sell those. I recommend that you have your own product Beverly, you will see a huge difference in selling someone else’s product vs. your own even though you may be using PLR.

People will automatically think you’re the expert when you have your own product online, it just comes with the territory, so don’t be afraid to use PLR and change the graphics to something more unique, and then you can even change the title of the product so that you stand out as something different even though you may be selling the same product. This is done all the time.

There is no use re-inventing the wheel Beverly, there is only so many ways you can say the same thing. Many marketers will simply take an existing idea and change it a bit, slap a new name on it and now they’re the expert.

Again, there is nothing wrong with that because although the information may be the same or similar to another product, as long as you’re spinning it differently and / or putting your own tips and techniques into it, you will be fine.

The reason that works is because there are too many people online and too many more coming online every day. There is NO way that we can reach everyone and so there is plenty of room for everyone to sell the same information online.

I hope this helps you Beverly!

Information overload is a killer, I’ve said it before but you should pick a couple people that you believe are solid and you can learn from and turn the rest off.

I don’t mean that you can’t learn from the others, but you gotta stay focused and really pay attention to you moving forward.

I picked out one guy who I really aspired to be like and I followed everything that he did and if he said jump on something boy did I.

I’m not saying you need to buy everything that the person sends out to you but I will tell you that for me, the turning point for me was Butterfly Marketing, I learned so much and got a business in a box.

As for sending emails, I assume you have an autoresponder and a list first right?

Email copy is just as important as sales letter copy. If they don’t get grabbed quickly in the email, you’ve lost them.

Tell stories…People LOVE stories!

We’ll have to get together sometime buddy, it’s great to know I’ve got buddies here in Arizona. Harris Fellman is in Scottsdale and I can’t even get an invite…go figure…lol.

Anyhow, to get to your questions:

Do I work all the time? Heck yeah! I’m a father of 5 dude it’s a non stop job…lol.

Yeah, it gets better man I promise ya, but you gotta work hard at this George, we’re in a tough economic time right now and people are clinging to their money a lot tighter right now.

Not to say this is not the right business, because it is…Heck, this is what I love doing and there is not JOB out there that gives me the happiness this one does.

As for time management, well you know it wasn’t always easy and I can’t say that I’m an expert in it either, I just kinda got thrown into it because of what I love to do and trying to manage my kids and family and work too.

I basically work when I can George, my family comes first, but I do take time off during the day and walk away, I’d go bonkers if I didn’t…lol.

Set aside a certain time during the day to get work done…even a few hours but make them solid work hours and then the rest of the day can be for you.

You’d be surprised what you can accomplish in a few hours if you’ve got things organized and know what you need to do.

Try mind mapping things out, that’s something Bob Jenkins taught me and if you’re super disorganized like me, that will definitely help!
