Will You Just Stop...

While sitting and enjoying a cup of coffee, and quietly
contemplating how I can help you actually achieve
more online success... it suddenly struck me...

The real reason that more people aren't successful
AND how you can turn that around in about 30 minutes.

I'm sure that you'll agree that a big part of the problem
is that we're too easily distracted. We start working on
something but before we finish it, something else grabs
our attention and we go focus on that for a while.

The PROBLEM is that we generally never go back and finish
that first project.

In-fact, many of us get distracted by something else before
we can finish that second projects :-)

So the solution is obvious. Stick with ONE project...
all the way through to completion

The PROBLEM then becomes deciding which project to focus
our attention on.

After all, if you focus on the wrong project, then you
spend your time and energy doing things that you really
shouldn't be doing... while neglecting the things that you
should be doing.

Here's how you handle that.

First of all you do have to choose one project.

Choose one that will offer you a tremendous long-term
benefit. Choose one that will not just offer a return
today, but will offer a return on your time and energy
invested for a very long time.

Here's an example of how to do that in just the next
30 minutes... step-by-step:

1) Take one of the many private label rights ebooks that
you have and dust it off. Ok, that MAY take a little
longer than 30 minutes, but it will be worth it.

Go through the ebook, and make minor revisions, making sure
that it's something that you'd want to put your name on.

As you revise the ebook, include recommendations for one
of your products. If those recommendations don't fit
conveniently into the ebook, don't worry. You can just
add those to the "About The Author" or the "Recommended
Resources" sections.

Ideally, you make those links to one of your own product,
but if not, then make them for a product with a 2-tier
affiliate program.

Stick with me, and I'll explain why in just a minute.

2) Give the ebook a new title, and create a new cover
graphic for it. If you don't do graphics, get one of your
friends who does to create one for you. Creating a cover
graphic only takes a few minutes for someone proficient
at it.

3) Now, you are going to give this ebook away, with
permission to change the links recommending your products.
You're going to allow those receiving your ebook to change
those links to their affiliate links... giving them an
incentive to pass the ebook along.

If you own the product, just by giving away the rebrandable
ebook, you're building your affiliate program.

If you don't own the product, but it's for a 2-tier affiliate
program, you're building your second tier... making it
possible for other affiliates to earn YOU money.

4) Use a piece of software such as Viral Document Toolkit
( http://ViralDocumentToolkits.com/ ) to make it easy for
those receiving your ebook to change your links with just a
few clicks of the mouse.

5) Create a text (or PDF) file explaining how to rebrand
the ebook. In that file, tell them how to sign up for your
affiliate program, or for the affiliate program where you
earn the second-tier commission. Make sure to give them
your tracking link if it's for a 2-tier program :-)

6) Distribute this ebook. The smart way to do that is to
offer it from websites where lots of others drive traffic
to the sites, and those visiting the sites, visit them
SPECIFICALLY looking for ebooks like your.

The perfect example, is the free giveaway site:
http://SageMarketer.com/Giveaway/

Now we get to the part where most people FAIL!

A good percentage of people reading this note will look
over the steps above and see how easy that is. They'll
understand that if just 1000 people in the above giveaway
downloaded their ebook, and only 1/4th of them later
passed it along, they've just recruited 250 new active
affiliates.

If those new active affiliates each only made 5 sales on
average, that's 1250 EXTRA sales you've made just from
FINALLY using one of those PLR ebooks that many of us
have cluttering up our hard drives.

If those 1250 sales made you just $5 profit each, that's
$6,250.... for giving away a free ebook with rebranding
rights.

Most people reading this note will see the logic in
what I just shared, and many will also go and register
at: http://SageMarketer.com/Giveaway/ However, very
few will do the most critical part.

Very few will take this very simple plan all the way
through to completion.

What else would you need to do anyway? Let's continue
with the steps... shall we.

7) After registering at the url above, check your
email and confirm your registration. A surprising number
of people fail to take that one step that takes all
of 10 seconds.

8) Log-in, and upload your gift. Most people don't have
the discipline to simply do this. Since you do, this
plan will produce results for you.

9) While logged in, enter your Paypal details so that you
can refer others and earn a commission just from telling
them about this giveaway. You'll earn commissions when
your referrals accept the one-time offer they'll see
inside the site.

10) Grab your referral url and start spreading the word.
Tell people via email, Twitter, FaceBook, forums, etc.

11) Watch your affiliate program, and direct product sales,
begin to takeoff.

It really is that simple. I know because I follow this
basic plan frequently. It's how I'll be able to spend
at least 2 weeks vacation in Hawaii later this Summer.

The "secret" really is to "Just Stop!" jumping from
project to project, and follow one all the way through to
completion.

I suggest that you start with the one that I laid out
above. That giveaway allows you to contribute anything
that's rebrandable.

It works - it really does.

Print this out, and then just do it. Then choose the
next ONE THING that you will focus on... all the way
through to completion.

Enjoy the rest of your day, knowing that you ‘re now
actually making progress :-)
