To get lots of good reviews you’re first going to need a place where people can leave their reviews. For example, if you sell on Amazon then Amazon is the place to capture your reviews. If you have a review system on your website, then that’s where you’ll be sending people. Here’s how it works…
You send your product to your customer, whether that means shipping it to them or sending them to your download page.
In your product where it cannot be missed, you enclose a card or page that says something like:
How Would You Like a ___ 100% FREE with FREE Shipping?
Visit: GetFreeProduct.yoursite.com
Fill out the form, choose a product and we’ll ship it to you 100% FREE. – No Shipping Charges! – No Hidden Fees! – No Credit Card Required!
Naturally if you’re delivering products electronically, you will alter the language on this. You can either specify what product you will send or you can let them choose.
When they go to your site, there will be a simple form asking what they purchased from you, what they want to receive for free, their address and the invoice number (if applicable). Once they fill this out they are feeling HAPPY because they are about to receive a free product, and who doesn’t love FREE?
This exact moment is the PERFECT time to ask for feedback (a review) on the product they already have. Simply take them to the next page where they are asked for feedback on the product they purchased.
Naturally, many of your customers will want to reciprocate your goodwill and leave a review, and more likely a good review due in part to the positive experience this process is providing for them.
I’ve seen three different marketers doing a variation of this business, all with the same result – they earn a bare minimum of $5,000/month and usually 2 to 3 times that much.
Two of them are completely unknown marketers who are quietly doing this in their spare time. The third marketer is a fairly big name, and odds are you’ve heard of him. He doesn’t do any of this work himself. He simply outsources the whole thing and brings in over $10,000 a month in profit doing it.
All three of them do this business in the online marketing niche. Essentially, they are helping new marketers to quickly have a money generating business of their own by building it for them. No doubt you’ve seen these ‘business in a box’ packages you can purchase that contain a product, a sales page and so forth, right? You put your own name on them, upload them to your site and start promoting.
There’s nothing wrong with these, and if you have your own list, you can often make good money with them. But these marketers have taken things a step further by creating a unique business in a box for each customer. These are genuinely one of a kind and even include a list.
Here’s how it works:
They start by creating a unique funnel complete with a squeeze page, high-value free gift and unique upsell product. The free gift is usually a plugin, because they have a higher perceived value than a report. You can find plugins with giveaway rights available all over the internet. Buying the rights is usually about $37-47 and then you are free to give it away to your heart’s content.
You can get a coder to rebrand, tweak and/or rename the plugin, usually for $100 or less. This is optional but again, it makes your package unique from anything else out there.
The upsell product is made from good PLR that’s then reworked and rebranded, complete with a new name, new graphics and so forth. It’s important here to use truly quality PLR – don’t skimp on this.
The cost of the content will be perhaps $150 if you rework it yourself, and twice that if you hire someone to do it for you. Since you’re going to price the upsell at around $47, you want the product to look and feel like it is worth at least that much if not more. In other words, make sure it doesn’t look like PLR.
Once the squeeze page and upsell are set up on a domain, it’s time to spend about $250 to purchase 1,000 solo ad clicks. Send them to your squeeze page.
Your goal here is three-fold:
→ Start building a list → Establish that the squeeze page and upsell convert → Make some money on the upsell
From 1,000 solo ad clicks you should hopefully get about 300 new subscribers. Maybe 10 of those will buy the upsell, bringing you about $470. That’s covered some of your costs right there.
Once you’ve done this, it’s time to cash in. You’re going to flip the entire funnel to one buyer. You can use Flippa, Warrior Forum or any of the site flipping websites out there.
You’re offering a proven funnel with a list, a proven squeeze page and a proven upsell page complete with the lead magnet and the product. This is VALUABLE because it’s proven and because it’s unique. Bonus points if you’ve chosen a great name for the URL, lead magnet and upsell.
Once you master how to do these things (and they’re not difficult) you can probably build 3 of these a month all by yourself and still have plenty of time to do other things, too.
And you can flip these packages for $2,500 to $7,500 each. Not bad for a part time business!
Okay, I love working with my own list, nurturing it, emailing it everyday… but I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. So when I run across a business that makes good money without having to nurture a list, and it only takes a few hours per week or month, I figure it might be worth sharing.
Mind you, the $5,000 a month figure is somewhat arbitrary.
You could make less or more, depending on how good you are at this and how many deals you do a month.
And perhaps the best part of all is you’re providing a very valuable service to new marketers looking to start their own online business without having to worry about the details.
Here’s how it works as told to me by someone who has been doing this for months now…
You’re going to be creating unique, ready-to-go sales funnels that are proven to convert.
No worries, you’re not doing this from scratch. Far from it. Instead, you’re using PLR – the kind that provides everything ready made to build a sales funnel.
The key is to make everything in the funnel unique, even though you’re using PLR.
So you find some good PLR that fills a real desire in the marketplace.
Rename everything and create new graphics, too.
You can even go in and change the coding on the plugin, if that’s what you’re using. Just hire someone to tweak it, maybe adding a new feature.
If you’re using written PLR, hire someone to flesh it out a bit more and change it up a little.
Then you create a squeeze page to offer something for free in return for the visitor’s email address. It could be a report, book, plugin, etc. Remember to use PLR that includes giveaway rights.
Focus your effort on making this offer as irresistible as possible. You might need to rewrite the sales page to do this, or hire someone to write it for you.
Next you create an upsell offer. This can be a high quality PLR course. Again, rename it, and create a new sales page that converts. Charge a fairly low price for the upsell – between $19 and $39.
Yes, you might need to invest some money in copywriting and even setting this up if you don’t want to do it yourself. But if you shop around, you can probably get it done for $200 to $500, depending on how much you do yourself.
Now that you have your funnel set up, buy 1,000 clicks from solo ads or Facebook. Send them to your squeeze page and through the funnel.
You’re doing this to prove the funnel works, as well as to start building the list.
After 1,000 clicks, if you get a 40% opt-in rate, you’ll have 400 subscribers.
If 5% of the subscribers buy the upsell, and the upsell is $30, then you’ve brought in $600.
This can cover your costs or come close to it, depending on how much you spent.
You can then buy more traffic if you like, building the list and testing and tweaking the funnel.
But you don’t have to. If you want to stop at this point, you can.
Or continue on and build the list bigger, either one.
In either case, when you get to the point that you’ve had enough testing, tweaking and list building, it’s time to flip the funnel and make the real money.
You’re selling a funnel that comes complete with a list of several hundred subscribers that’s already generating profits on the upsell, which means it’s proven.
And just as important, your funnel is unique, too. It has its own proven squeeze page, its own proven sales page, its own lead magnet and product…
…it’s a complete one-of-a-kind proven sales funnel.
You can sell this for $3,000 or more – sometimes a lot more – on Flippa.
The fellow who told me about this averages about $5,000 a sale. Some sites have sold for more, some less.
And he does two of these a month by outsourcing the work.
Frankly, I don’t think he personally invests more than 5 hours into each website.
So it’s a very lucrative side income, so say the least.
The key here is to pick niches with ready-made markets – niches where people are already spending lots of money.
You’ll want to find the best PLR you can get your hands on.
Make everything unique.
And practice.
The first time my friend tried this, he only cleared a few hundred dollars.
The second time, he cleared over $2,000.
Now he averages about $5,000. So practice and experience do count.
Perhaps best of all, there is no customer support. Once he sells a site, it’s totally out of his hands and he’s on to the next one.
So it’s great for somebody who doesn’t like to email a list day after day, build a relationship with readers and so forth.
If this is something that interests you, spend some time researching which sites are selling well, and also where to find the best quality PLR.
Once you know those two things, everything else will fall into place.
