Entrepreneurs-Journey.com Down-To-Earth Advice For Bloggers and Internet Marketers

This is a fun video and it has some important information for you if you are wondering whether you have to be famous/have lots of exposure already to launch a membership site, and also whether my Membership Site Mastermind system works in markets outside of the making money niche.

In this video you will see case studies of two people starting the process of building their lists and conducting surveys like I talked about in the Blue-Sky video, in unique niches -

• Fran Kerr who you might know from my blog already, who targets acne sufferers at HighOnHealth.org
• Jay Jay the magician who targets the Magic and Illusions market at FreeMagicLive.com

I start the video with a brief trip around the world slide show, where I show you some of the places I visited as I traveled the planet last year visiting 25 cities in 8 months. I also show you how I was able to conduct two membership site launches during the trip and make more money while traveling than I had when I left Australia.

Do you know what Apple TV is? I didn’t either, so I decided to buy one. I explain how it works in this video, then I show you the Sony Bravia 40″ LCD television I won in an affiliate competition, which leads us to the real topic of today’s video - how and why you would want to run an affiliate competition during your next product launch.

Let me know what you think of the Viddler video quality. Ironically I did go over 10 minutes, although I did manage to get it up on YouTube as well. I think the quality looks better on Viddler though.

The prelaunch phase of a product launch in many ways is more important than the actual launch itself. During this period you have to decide what to give away, if anything, what marketing message to focus on, how to source the content and how to distribute it.

A successful prelaunch is all about building excitement and anticipation, but also - and this is critical - cutting through the noise and grabbing people’s attention through the power of your message.

You also use prelaunch content to address the major issues affecting your potential customers and deal with any justifications they may have for not purchasing your product.

The New Blog Mastermind Prelaunch

This week I’m about to kick-off the prelaunch for Blog Mastermind and I’ve been thinking about what to present as a demonstration of how much my training program can help people really leverage the power of blogging.

The Blog Profits Blueprint is available but I won’t be using it as my only launch tool. I certainly recommend it to everyone as the best introduction to the world of making money from blogging and as a great taste of what the full Blog Mastermind program is about, but if I want to make an impact I need something fresh - new ideas and new media.
