Free PLR package from Jimmy D. Brown

05 Dec 2007 09:58

Christmas is arriving a little early this year.

Jimmy D. Brown is offering PLR products containing some of his best articles, reports, and products (some never before released) for a very limited time only. He's never offered PLRs before, so this is actually news.

There are three packages available here. In the spirit of Christmas, he's giving away the Bronze package without joining his mailing list or jumping through any other hoops. All you need to do is visit this link and download the materials.

The Silver And Gold packages are literally pennies on the dollar (try 97% off regular price for the Gold pack!)

There are so many things you can do with these products:

  • Create your own original articles.
  • Build rebrandable reports.
  • Edit them and sell them as your own.
  • Convert them into audio products.
  • Develop a coaching program around them.
  • Stock a membership site with them.
  • Extract parts for blog posts.

While the ideas and possibilities are endless, the availability of these packages isn't!

There are only 100 packages available at these prices.

Therefore, I strongly encourage you to go right now and download the free Bronze PLR Package before it's no longer available, and check out the other two packages while you're there.

Even if you don't plan on using them until down the road, you won't find better quality content for the price, but they won't be around very long, so grab them right now.

Cyber Monday 2007 Sale

26 Nov 2007 00:01

In honor of Cyber Monday, I've cut the price of my two infoproducts in half to just $4.98 each. The prices go back to the regular $9.95 tonight at 12am EST.

(Ignore the price in the sales letter. I didnt' feel like changing it for only one day, so you won't see the discount until you click the "Buy Now" link.)

Amazon's Kindle Will Set A Precedent

20 Nov 2007 18:12

Amazon.com announced their new e-book reader, Kindle, the other day. What I found most interesting in the article is the suggested selling price for best-sellers was $10.

The reason I find this interesting is that it will set an upper limit for how much e-books can sell for. Let's say you're trying to sell a beginner's guide to Windows Vista for $40, but the customer can go out to Amazon.com and buy an electronic version of Windows Vista for Dummies for $10 or less, it's going to be a tough sell. Not only will you be pricing yourself out of sales, but you have to compete with the history and reputation of the ...for Dummies brand.

Whether or not Kindle takes off and becomes the success Amazon is hoping for is yet to be determined, but whether it succeeds or fails, it's going to establish an upper limit on how much e-books will sell for. To get the higher price points, you're going to have to convince people that either your information is something they can't get in mass-market books, or that it contains so much information it's worth the price tag, which is going to be tough for many beginners to do.

This is why I've been suggesting people start with sub-$10 products to start, like those suggested in $7 Secrets and Small Reports Fortune. I think products in the $5–10 range are much easier to sell and result in fewer returns than products in the $30–up category. So, if you haven't started yet, use any upcoming time off this holiday season to get a few reports/mini-books completed and start 2008 off with some easy and long-term profitable sales.

Just Say "No" to Blind E-mails

25 Jul 2007 18:17

While I'm not a big fan of receiving ad-only messages from newsletters I subscribe to, I do understand that the list operator does need to make money somehow. However, I hate "blind" e-mails that say absolutely nothing and expect you to click a link with no additional information.

I got this message today:

Subject: A NO-BRAINER deal... for you (highly recommended)

Hi Craig Rettig

There are some deals called "no-brainers..."
My definition of a "no-brainer" is:
"Do not think... Just order it."

I am happy to suggest this no-brainer deal
to you today:

Enjoy!

My response? Hit the Delete button.

There is no way I'm clicking on an obviously-cloaked link just because you're saying that it's cool. For all I know, your system could've been hacked, and the resulting site could be linking to pornography, spyware, viruses, or something even worse.

The real shame here is the sender was a fairly well-known and well-respected Internet marketer who really should know better.

If you want me to click an affiliate link, first tell me what it is, then tell me why it's a good deal/product/whatever. If you can't be bothered to write a few sentences explaining why it's a "no-brainer", then I can't be bothered to click the link.

The Best $7 You'll Spend

17 Jul 2007 18:45

You've probably seen several e-mails and articles about a report entitled $7 Secrets.

I snagged a copy of it, and it's most definitely worth it.

Basically, it shows you a system where you sell reports at an affordable price (You guessed it... $7) and build a list at the same time. While seven bucks may not seem like much, it adds up as you create and sell more reports in addition to simultaneously building your list for later upsells.

What's especially cool is that you also get the actual scripts to handle the payment, one-time offer, and affiliate program outlined in the report. In my opinion, these alone more than justify the $7 price tag.

Check it out for yourself.

It should be obvious, but if you're a member of any PLR content sites, such as InfoGoRound, you've got all the ammo you need to start pumping out your own $7 products.
