Hello Yaro!
As I’ve figured out by now, I’m already in a funnel…yours…but as you so honestly explains, this is such an important aspect to the path of making substantial income online that I’ve already decided on signing up for your mastermind course. I consider you the TOP expert in your field, and I have huge respect for your work and dedication. My goal is to set up a membership site, and make a living at it, period. And looking forward to spending a little money doing so. Thank you for valuable information…(half way trough you membershipsitemasterplan)

I agree with everything in your article said. I am currently writing my ebook… ecourse… and getting ready to start production on my CD/DVD series for dating.

My goal is to educate guys on how to be the type of man that they want to be… not just picking up chicks… although that is a good part of it.

Keep up the great articles

Yaro,

Great article!

Like you say, in order to offer the sort of commissions that Double Your Dating too, you need to have worked out customer lifetime value, which is not so easy.

I recently found a great book about this subject, from the perspective of branding, called Think Two Products Ahead, by Ben Mack.

Hi Ron – Yes, another reason why small dynamic companies are often such a threat to larger, slow reacting, companies.

Jason – Exactly, it’s also so much more satisfying as a business owner to work with people who find it equally satisfying to work with you. Cut the people who don’t benefit and help those that do benefit to do so even more.

David – I’ve often considered sitting down and blogging more often. I’d probably still keep the quality reasonably high, but double my output. I’m curious what sort of effect that would have on my traffic.

However because I’m creating product behind the scenes, which takes a big chunk of my time, for the time being I will stick to my current pace and quality focus here on my blog.

Very good post, Yaro.
I think you’re doing a great job to emphasise that it’s much more important to focus on quality over quantity when it comes to posting on your blog.

Another great post!

The “Double Your Dating” affiliate example is especially noteworthy. It’s really important for information marketers to think in terms of “backend profits” and then *funnel* their prospects even through a purchase system.

I heard an excellent example yesterday on the InternetBusinessMastery.com Podcast about focusing your efforts more and more on the “Best Customers” – those who will pay several thousands of dollars for a big product, rather than those who will shell out $50 or so for an ebook.

I’m still processing the wisdom behind that approach….

Hey, I just wanted to mention something.

Like you said the company size (small-mid-big) also helps determine the amount and kind of “sale mechanisms”, as you call them, that go into the funnel to attract more sales.

From my experience in a large international company, high-level managers are scared or doubtful of using new mechanisms that have proven to be effective with smaller businesses. Maybe it’s just something time will slowly change.

Excellent Article,
