Most Internet marketers understand that having mini sites is the fastest and easiest way to make money online. They don’t require a lot of time, energy, or money to set up, and once you’ve got one up and running, you can sit back and just collect money from all the sales you’re making.

At least… that’s how it’s supposed to be, right?

The truth is that mini sites really ARE easy to set up. They really DON’T require much time, energy, and money to set up. So why is it that so few people actually make money with their mini sites?

The answer is that they never learned how to actually turn their mini site into a profitable moneymaker that runs completely on autopilot. The good news is…

*************************************************
YOU’RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!
*************************************************

Here’s what this is all about: Michael Rasmussen has just released a brand new video course that will walk you through the process of creating a killer mini site from the ground up, and then he’ll also teach you how to actually start making money with
it right away and into the future.

If you’ve been looking for help with monetizing your mini sites, then this is exactly what you need. The best part? The videos are FREE! First, let’s talk about the videos
themselves.

You can just check the videos out right now for free. Here’s the URL:

*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************

Here’s a brief summary of each video.

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION

This videos introduces you to the entire course, as well as the teacher himself. You’ll learn what you can expect from the course, and why it’s structured the way it is.

VIDEO 2 - THE BASICS

This video will introduce you to the basics of mini site marketing. This will set the foundation that all future learning will rest upon, so it’s important to
pay close attention to this one.

You’ll learn:

* What mini-sites are, and what makes them different from regular content sites.

* Which businesses they work well for… and which ones they don’t.

* The right mindset to have when it comes to creating mini sites as part of your online business strategy.

* And the different tools you need to get started.

VIDEO 3 - SQUEEZE PAGES

This is probably one of the most useful videos of the entire course. Every Internet marketer needs to build an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best way to capture the most opt-ins?

The answer is ’squeeze pages’. This video will teach you:

* Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other opt-in methods.

* The single most important thing you must include at the top of your squeeze page to skyrocket your opt-in rate.

* The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most marketers get it wrong (which costs them a LOT of money).

* The most important to include in your opt-in process that will make sure that people actually receive your email.

After watching this video, you’ll know everything you need to know to start building a opt-in list right away. This will probably be the first video that you ‘take action’ on. You’ll be so excited about the possibilities, that I guarantee you’ll go and create
your own squeeze page right away.

VIDEO 4 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART ONE

Nothing happens until the sales copy is written. Graphics alone will never sell a product, but sales copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the mysterious process of writing words that make people whip out their credit cards and buy.

Specifically, you’ll learn:

* Why you need to learn copywriting, even if you “hate to write”

* What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell the difference.

* How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that practically forces your readers to go through your entire page.

* A simple trick you can use in your opening to make your reader want to learn more.

There is no skill that is more important to your success than the ability to write killer sales copy. Make sure you pay extra attention to this video, as well as…

VIDEO 5 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART TWO

This video dives right into the individual components of a killer sales letter. You’ll learn how to create the “secret structure” of a mini site sales letter that makes big money. Specifically, you’ll learn:

* How to create captivating body copy that draws your reader into the sales letter.

* Bullets that force your reader to keep reading the whole page, and makes them insanely curious and want to buy your product

* How to take the risk off people’s shoulders, so they’ll feel safe buying from you.

* How to craft your ‘call to action’, and get people to whip out their credit cards and buy immediately.

* The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal the deal, and flip your prospect into a buyer instantly.

VIDEO 6 - HOW TO AUTOMATE THE DELIVERY OF YOUR INFOPRODUCT

Unless you want to be chained to your computer, you must learn how to put your mini sites on autopilot. The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic, and letting the site itself do all the work, including the work of instantly delivering the product to the
customer.

This video will walk you through the process of automating your product delivery, so you can just relax, and collect the money. The best part is… once you have this automated system set up, you never have to touch it again.

VIDEO 7 - HOW TO “GROW” YOUR SALE

This video is guaranteed to be an eye opener for almost everyone who watches it, even the experienced marketers. Michael dives into some of the most effective ‘upselling’ techniques that I’ve ever seen.

Nowhere else on the Internet have I seen such a thorough tutorial on how to increase the ’size’ of your orders. You’ll learn:

* The psychology of ‘upselling’, and how to use it make your customer spend even more money with you. The best part? He’ll think it was his idea!

* The absolute best time to upsell your customer. This one will surprise you when you realize how much money you’ve been leaving on the table by skipping this step.

* 5 simple techniques to increase your profit by up to 100%.

If you’ve already got a mini site that’s up and running, this video will make a big difference for you right away. Use any of these ‘plug and profit’ strategies to increase your income literally overnight!

VIDEO 8 - CREATING AN AFFILIATE SALES FORCE

If there’s one thing I’ve noticed that all successful marketers have in common, it’s that they have a great affiliate program. They create a program that allows other people to make good money by promoting their products, and they get to just sit back and relax,
while everyone else is doing the hard work of promoting FOR them.

If you’ve ever dreamed of having an army of motivated sales people working hard to make you money, then you’re going to love this video. Michael will teach you:

* What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up very quickly.

* Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates (most people miss the mark here, so pay extra attention to this part).

* Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough to convince people to sign up, and what you can do instead to have people eagerly trying to become one of your affiliates.

* How to motivate affiliates to sell for you.

VIDEO 9 - MINI SITE MISTAKES TO AVOID

Let’s face it… it’s not enough to explain what you should do. You also need to know what mistakes you should avoid. Michael has already made these costly mistakes, but you don’t have to. You’ll learn:

- Why people do judge a book by its cover… and how to capitalize on that for your mini-site

- The single biggest reason people don’t buy from a mini site, and how you can apply this ‘instant fix’.

- The single biggest thing that will kill your mini-site (it’s not what you think, and making this mistake is a surefire way to drain money from your bank account FAST!)

- Two list building mistakes that’ll cripple your long-term profits.

VIDEO 10 - SECRETS OF CREATING A PRODUCT FUNNEL

This video will walk you through the process of designing a product line that will make you a TON of money. There’s a lot more to it than you’d think, which is why this important concept (which was taken from direct marketing) gets it’s own video.

After watching this video, you’ll understand why you can’t just have a single front end product, and you’ll know exactly what to do in order to get your customer to keep buying more and more expensive products from you… completely on autopilot!

VIDEO 11 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

The title of this video says it all. You’ll learn all of Michael’s secrets for getting top notch freelancers to help you create your mini site empire in record time.

Let’s face it, you can’t be an expert at everything that mini sites require. For example, it’s really tough to be a top notch graphic designer, while also mastering HTML, and then becoming a killer copywriter, on top of also creating the product itself.

And the list goes on and on. If you want to be efficient, and begin making money as fast as possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it happen. This video will show you exactly what to do, as well as some common (and very expensive) pitfalls to avoid.

VIDEO 12 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

Let’s face it… it doesn’t matter how great your mini site is if you don’t get any traffic coming to it. Getting traffic can be one of the most confusing and mysterious parts of making money online IF you don’t get the proper education.

Thankfully, Michael really dives in, and gives you a lightning fast education in this area. Specifically, you’ll learn:

* How to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to get targeted traffic fast.

* 3 ways to get targeted traffic without spending a dime.

* 2 ways to leverage the experience and contacts of other people to explode your traffic.

* 3 traffic strategies to avoid like the plague!

By the time you’re done with this video, you’ll know what to do right away to begin driving targeted visitors to your mini site.

*************************************************

This deluxe video could easily be a whole course in itself. It walks you though the entire process of setting up a back end that is completely automated using an autoresponder system.

You’ll learn how to set up your autoresponder to automatically remove a person from your prospect list after he buys, and then insert him into your customer list. This is where your new autoresponder sequence will start promoting your back end products
automatically.

Bottom line… if you want to make the big bucks like all the Internet marketing gurus, you need to create a back end that works hard for you while you’re out creating new mini sites and developing new products.
This video will show you how.

*************************************************
VIDEO 14 - LIST BUILDING SECRETS
*************************************************

In this deluxe video, Michael will walk you through some of his best tactics for growing a massive list from your mini site. He’ll not only teach you what to add to your mini site, but he’ll also show you what you must REMOVE from your mini site in order to get the most possible subscribers.

Building a list is about SO much more than just offering a free newsletter. In fact, Michael shows you five different things you can offer your readers to get them to instantly give you their name and email.

You’ll also learn the best places to actually put the opt-in email form on your mini site. You’ll also learn about pop ups and tell-a-friend scripts, as well as a bunch of other incredible tactics for growing your list.

Think about it… if you’re going to put the time in, and set up a mini site the proper way (like Michael shows you in these videos), then it only makes sense that you’d want to make the most amount of money possible from it.

In this video, you’ll learn:

- How changing one sentence on your mini site could double your profits easily.

- How to instantly increase the dollar amount of your average order (which puts more money into your pocket).

The past few days, I’ve spent researching the topic of cloaking links. I didn’t know what I was in for. For those of you, that are like me, and kind of know this html, javascript and php thing, this was a task.

Many of us have heard about link cloaking, are you curious about how it works, can you and should you be using it on your website or links. There are many different reasons, why you would or wouldn’t utilize affiliate link cloaking.

From a business perspective

1. Affiliate links can be stolen, this is when someone, probably another affiliate, uses their link to replace the one you are using. They copy the URL and then replace your affiliate number with their own, basically stealing commissions.

2. Affiliate links can be bypassed, this is when someone goes directly to the merchant site, removing your affiliate link. People do this for various reasons, either they don’t want you to get the commission, or don’t trust the added affiliate link at the end of the url.

3. Good business practice

Another reason why you would want to cloak your affiliate link is that some of the affiliate links are long and not attractive, which can make prospective customer leary of clicking on them. Some will recognize an affiliate link as a sales pitch and avoid your link.

Which URL would you rather click?

http://yourname.com/cmd.cgi?cmd=aftrack&afid=123456&u=pcinfo.com

http://yourname.com/pcinfo.html

Both go to the same place, but which would you click on?

What is the difference between a redirect and cloaking?

Redirect uses a link that sends a user to a different URL than one clicked on

Cloaking shows a different URL in the browser than the one for the page shown

There are more indepth ways to define the differences which you can find on the great video http://linkcloakingexplained.com/video.html

If you do not have a website hosted, there are some free resources that you can utilize such as tinyurl.com and urlfreeze.com. Your links will read tinyurl.com/youraffiliatesite.com. Be aware that some sites do not allow redirects and you will violate their term of service.

There are affiliate marketers that do not cloak their links feeling that it is misleading to the customer. Cloaking your affiliate link is a decision that you will need to make if it is the right thing for you.

Are you looking for an affiliate program to be involved with? Though I do “bum” marketing, these Affiliate Marketing Programs that I have come across seem to have a lot of potential in a niche market.

MarketHealth.com Free to join, receive 5% on 2nd tier. Offers 50 programs in herbal supplements. Offers many links and banners. You can also market their business opportunity.

Native Remedies Free to join, receive lifetime 25% commission. Offers natural remedies, natural pet care and baby care. Offers links and banners to all their products.

One of the key components to building a business on line is listbuilding.  So how do you get customers to sign up to your list?  One way is a compelling offer.  A compelling offer would be to give something away for free, such as a report.

After you decide which product to promote, you will need to find a “compelling offer.”  Downloadable Brandable Reports are perfect to compliment your product.  Brandable Reports are “branded” with your affiliate links.

I came across Butterfly Reports.com FREE brandable download Reports that you can offer your customers or use to build your list of customers. Butterfly Reports is still in a beta version, but I expect it to really take off.

There is a free version and upgraded version,  You input your affiliate links from Clickbank and PayDotCom into your account information, and choose a report from one of the 10 categories .

Your links are automatically inputted on to the brandable report. Relevant products are chosen from Clickbank and PayDotCom and are integrated into the report with your affiliate links.

AND Wha la…..You now have a free giveaway and products all in downloaded report. What a great concept!

The downloaded branded report can be used as a giveaway or alone.

Download your brandable reports here….
