Dear Future Successful Marketer

Have you ever seen those build your own home programs? There seems to be a new one every time I turn on the television.

You know the ones, a seemingly nice couple decide to build their own home and the host talks to them about their plans. He then turns to the camera and talks about his concerns and misgivings he has about their experience, their plans, the people they’ve employed… in fact the list of things that could go wrong seem endless!

I remember watching one of these programs where the build they were featuring seemed to be spiralling out of control.

The host was in total disbelief at the plans the architect had drawn up, the way the project manager was running the show and how the builders were left scratching their heads at what to do next.

It all seemed to be heading for a total disaster when I remember the host walking up to the couple and telling them to sit down and listen to what he had to say unless they were going to lose everything.

The conversation went along these lines…

TV Host: I’ve made some adjustments to your plans that Irecommend you follow

The couple: This is a very simple blueprint isn’t it?

TV Host: I keep it simple, I build houses, I fix mistakes, runwith my plans and it’ll all come together I promise. It’s justlike novocaine… it works every time!

And for over 12 years, the success of this model has been built on keeping it simple and following a blueprint that is powerful and effective. Listen, if it isn’t broke then it doesn’t need fixing… And if it can be kept simple, don’t complicate it!

This model has never involved strategies that have Twittered, no chasing ‘likes’ on Facebook, nor a magic button to get traffic. Furthermore the success of this model has nothing to do with huge product launches or sneaking in the back door of the search engines using black hat techniques.

(Note: If none of that makes sense then you are probably abeginner and don’t recognise some of the terms and concepts ofthe past few years and believe me…that’s a good thing!)

And, despite all of this, this business model has produced a HUGE amount of money for those who have used it, all while spending more time doing what they love to do than in front of their computers.

The lack of work and time that goes into making this model work often astounds others, frustrates workaholic internet marketers and has been the source of making families as happy as they can be because of the opportunities it creates for travel, vacations and adventures.

Let me ask you a question…

Why is it that those who use this model don’t have to scramble like everyoneelse seems to?

Why is it that those who practice these strategies don’t get caught up withthe latest craze, the new fad of the week and all the new software schemesthat come along?

Why is it that only a few ever really make a lot of money working so few hoursa week?

It’s quite simple really…

Just like the pain killer novocaine, give it time and it works EVERYTIME. This blueprint has been working well for over a decade. And the results are staggering.

What I’d like to do is give that same blueprint to a few people and show them the exact steps so they can put Blueprint into practice in their own business.

Now, that should GREATLY interest you if you agree with logic and good old fashioned common sense.

(Dreamers and wannabe losers need not apply)

It requires very little brain power to figure out the answer to that question! The ball is going to shatter the window unless your neighbor has fitted toughed safety glass.

I want you to think about something for just a minute…

Why do surgeons refer to the same procedure every time they perform a particularoperation?

Why do professional golfers swing the same way every time they want to hit aparticular shot?

Why do engineers follow the same process every time they detect a fault todiagnose it and to repair it?

When anyone finds a method for achieving a desired result, they simply repeat the method any time they want to duplicate that result.

There is a reason why the same people continue to use the same system to generate sales that worked years ago (and EVERY day since) even though so much as changed on the Internet.

This model generates a duplicateable result. Just like kicking a soccer ball through a window. Just like novocaine. Give it time it always works.

“OK Neil”, I hear you say…”that’s good for them, but what about me?”

It’s also very good for you…and here’s why…

So, back to the blueprint that works every time. Wouldn’t you like to get your hands on it for just a few minutes to check it out and see what it covers?

Better still, wouldn’t you like to get your very own private copy of it for permanent use?

For the FIRST TIME EVER, everything that is involved in this success model has been arranged into ONE duplicatable system that even beginners can follow.

This very successful Blueprint is being made available to YOU!

You can begin ‘copying’ this entire business system today. You will be shown how to start from scratch (just like others have) and build your own internet business over the coming days, weeks, months and years to come.

You will see EXACTLY how you can duplicate this business. You get access to the exact system used by a select few so you can ‘copy’ your way to success. The exact system.

Just remember, everyone starts out as a beginner, just like you. The lessons in this model take into account exactly what you’re facing and what you need, because at some point everyone had to do what you have to do.

That’s why these lessons are going to speak from personal experiences of those who have had success and explain everything to you in simple terms…

How to start with and from nothing

How to grow a mailing list starting from scratch, zero, no subscribers

How to generate sales without any big name guru friends

How to create your own products without writing a single word

How to set everything up even if you’re not a technical ‘whiz kid’

How to advertise and market your business without a massive budgetAND in most cases WITHOUT spending any money

How to overcome the new persons barriers to wealth

How to make money online even if you haven’t made a penny so far.

What you need to realise is that all internet marketing success stories stood exactly where you stand now.

They didn’t have any of those things…including me.

I was working up to 14 hours a day in a corporate job and I had nothing more than a desire to start an internet business so I could free up my time to do the more important things in my life.

NOTE: I know what it’s like to be a beginner. I haven’tdeveloped a selective memory or forgotten what it’s liketo be a beginner like some people have. I will never forgetwhat it was like to be struggling at the beginning and evenconfused at times.

And that is why I sincerely want to help you. That’s what this course is ALL about.

‘K.I.S.S’ is a well known acronym that stands for ‘Keep It Simple Stupid’….and there is something to be said for keeping it SIMPLE.

There is absolutely NO reason for you to get bogged down with all of the strategies, systems and schemes that are out there. There’s absolutely no reason for you to try the latest craze, far or the next hot thing. It really doesn’t need to be as complicated at all.

That’s what you will find with the Copy and Profit Blueprint.

What you’ll discover …to your relief and excitement… is there are only three simple parts to this Blueprint you need to follow. This system involves three things you do every week to run your business. To be sure there are a number of smaller parts involved but the basic Blueprint plan is just three things.

You don’t need to go crossed eyed reading thousands of pages trying to do everything. This system has simplified things. It is VERY ‘uncomplicated’.

I’ve eluded to the Blueprint throughout this letter and many want me to reveal the ‘three parts’, so I thought I’d be completely transparent and tell you what they are. None of the rubbish you see on many other sites which tell you what it’s not but never tell you what it is!

NOTE: Keep in mind that this Blueprint hasremained unchanged and VERY profitable forover a decade!

Here are the three Blueprints to follow to success:

Blueprint #1: Create AN Offer.

It all begins with creating a new offer. This is almost exclusively an “information” based product or service and can include small reports, ebooks, membership sites, physical products, coaching programs and software applications. It all hinges upon creating tiny, 7-15 page special reports. That’s all! And, if you don’t feel comfortable writing even these bite-sized reports, I’ll show you how to hire a “ghostwriter” to do it for you for pennies in the pound. And I’ll give you the details of where I get mine created… you can use the same people.

Blueprint #2: Build A List.

With a new offer created, you then send out multiple mailings to all of your lists. This, as you can imagine, creates a flurry of orders instantly … literally within minutes of sending out the mailing orders begin to arrive. Some who use this system have tens of thousands of subscribers on their lists and more coming in every single day. (You’ll discover how to get your own lists and get them quickly!)

Blueprint #3: FREE Traffic.

Want to know what to do to generate free “traffic” to your site? It’s simple: Notify affiliates and partners of your new offers … and THEY do all of the work for you! Almost 100% of the traffic in this system is generated by OTHER PEOPLE. And — get this — the lists that I mentioned earlier … those are built through partner traffic as well! I’m NOT talking about big name people in your market, I’m talking about regular affiliates who love to work with you, who aren’t too big for their boots and will gladly promote your product for you.

What it all comes down to is this.

You don’t need to be a Master at
generating traffic on the Internet.

You create information products and marketing materialsand have other people do all of marketing for you.

How “uncomplicated” is that?!

This system has been working for over Fifteen years now and it never stops working!

Now that I’ve told you exactly what the Blueprints are the dreamers and people who’ll never be successful will leave, they just don’t get it.

However…. people like you and I understand that this is a very simple model to follow and it WILL bring you success and money online.

Listen up: you’re going to discover how to do this for yourself. It’s not complicated. You need your own information products and people to promote them for you to build your list and create sales on your behalf. That’s it, game over, look at the score board…you won!

You need just three parts…

And with the Copy and Profit Blueprint you’ll learn *exactly* how to get all three of these things in place…FAST. And you’ll get all of this in a simple step-by-step system that was designed FOR BEGINNERS.

This system is basically three top selling Blueprints assembled into one simple and easy to follow ‘everything you need’ Blueprint.

No more information overload, no more confusion, no more wondering where to start or what to do next. Simply follow the Blueprint and you’re done.

There are a lot of people out there who are selling “how to make money promoting other people’s stuff as an affiliate” courses. And, it’s true, affiliate income is a great source of revenue. BUT, in my opinion, it’s not a dependable business model.

Let me give you 3 reasons why you do NOT want affiliate marketing to be your primary source of income…

Problem #3: Vulnerability. You are completely at the mercy of someone else when you’rean affiliate. What happens if someone accuses you of spam and your affiliate link isdisabled? What happens if the owner decides to go out of business? What happens ifthey provide horrible customer service or get lots of refunds? There are so many variablesinvolved in fully relying on someone else — even if they come highly recommended andhave a good track record. One misinterpreted move on your part and you could be history.

Problem #2: Competition. Everything you do as an affiliate is going to be equalled orexceeded by dozens, if not hundreds or even thousands of other people. If you want topurchase a PPC ad, write an ezine article, buy a solo mailing or do any other kind ofadvertising to promote an affiliate program, get in line. Think about the sheer numbers fora moment. X number of copies of a product will be sold. Divide that up by possiblythousands of other people and how much do you think you’ll be getting? Do you have abigger budget than your competition so you can place highly in ppc listings? Are you abetter and faster ezine article writer than the others? Do you have bigger existing lists?Does your site get more traffic than the others? What about all of the guru buddies whopromote the offers? It’s not as easy as it sounds to make full-time money as an affiliate.

Problem #1: Potential. The biggest problem (as if the first two … especially numbertwo … aren’t enough) that I see is the lack of potential when you use affiliate revenue asyour primary business foundation. Think about this: why would you want to be one ofthousands of people promoting someone else’s offer, when you could have thousands ofpeople promoting YOUR offers!? Why would you want to grow someone else’s lists (whichthey can use to promote affiliate offers from other people and you’ll never earn a pennyfrom it!) instead of having other people send you subscribers for YOUR list!? Why wouldyou want to build someone else’s business when you could have them building YOURS!?There is virtually a 100% probability that you’ll not make anywhere near as much moneyas an affiliate as you would by having your own products.
