Check out this video to discover how to effectively sell a product.Discover the best way to sell your products.wistiaEmbed = Wistia.embed("i8mwxerodc");This week:00:09 - Selling products by talking about specs 00:27 - The results-based selling method 00:46 - What can your customer get after buying your product? 01:05 - Use results instead of specs in your sales messagingJoin SilverCircle now! Sign up for SuperFastBusiness  James Schramko here with an episode about how to sell results instead of specs. Selling your product results So when you put in together that website copy or your sales pitch, it’s very tempting as a product specialist to “Product Dump” or to talk all about the products specs. If it was a car we’d be talking about spark plugs and differentials and gearbox and COGS and ratios and fuel economy but not every buyer is interested in that, some people just want the result. They might want transport or they want that nice feeling that they’re getting a nice car where people will look at their car and think that they’re successful, that’s results based selling.   Photo credit So when you’re putting together your offer the easiest way to do this is think about what would someone be able to do after buying your product or service? What specific result will they end up with? We all know the one about the drill, that they’re buying a hole not a drill, well that applies here. So think about your products or services. What is the ultimate outcome that someone will be able to achieve from using your product or service? Start with that when you’re putting your sales messaging together rather than all the technical specs and actual deliverabilities. Well I’m James Schramko, I’ll catch up with you soon.

This is where you get to be on the show, and you do that by going to SuperFastBusiness.com and putting a voice message. At the bottom of the site there is the option to leave a voice message. So this is what we caught in the last week or two, and as the site powers on to over 72,000 page views a month, 60,000 downloads, and 36,235 visitors, it's turned into something quite special. In this episode, you're going to find out about becoming a business service provider. You'll also hear about how to set up a recurring membership or recurring subscription program, and a whole bunch of other stuff. So let's listen in to our listeners.   Listener:         Well thank you James and Manu for the poses, what a fantastic idea. I especially like your outdoor office with the greenery and the birds chirping in the background. James:            Thank you, Douglas.  The Yoga Minute is a lot of fun, actually. I didn't know if people would like that or not, but it appears that a lot of people can relate to being sitting behind a desk for too long. Certainly having a stand-up desk has been a big improvement for me, and yes I do like all the birds and the greenery and being able to film around different parts of the house. And I'm thankful that I'm not driving to work in a car, sitting in traffic, and having to wear a suit and tie every day. So that's one of the best things about growing a very profitable Internet business, is that you do have that freedom of lifestyle. Now Yoga Manu Minute will continue, as long as we get good feedback. Manu comes down to my house once every week or so. He sits in on some of the mastermind calls that I run and I always encourage him to hop out there and give me a new yoga lesson. He doesn't have preparation time, he does it on the spot, and if you have any specific yoga requests, then hit that voice widget and leave me a voice message. Tell me what you'd like Manu to teach you for your yoga moves. Listener:         Good day, James, excuse the fish tank sound in the background, there. Thanks for the interview with Chris Farrell about the continuity program. Can you tell us some of the best platforms to use to create a membership site on, such as Ning versus other membership sites that are created on WordPress? I'd really like to hear about that more and I'm sure there would be others, too. Thanks a lot, mate. Marty, bye. James:            Hey, Marty, I really hope that was a fish tank and not you just recording in the bathroom. All right, so you asked a great question. The episode with Chris Farrell was super popular, and that's because a recurring income is super desirable. Now one thing is, just keep in mind, you don't actually have to have a forum aspect to a continuity program, even though I do. My preferred platform is actually vBulletin. I've used a few different platforms. I find the WordPress forum platforms are a little bit clunky, I find that Ning is very slow-loading and quite disorganized. But the most important thing is, I like to control the asset. I want it on a domain that I own, I want it to be easy to use, and I like vBulletin because I can embed videos, I can control the entrance via the cart that I use, which is Nanacast,

 New Business Service Website Packages | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 4:21

Check out the updates to our website services!Business Service Website Packages Website Feb-28-2013wistiaEmbed = Wistia.embed("419ed0tskj");This week:00:12 - What you get with the new ATLWeb 5 hour pack 01:32 - Expect exclusive industry-specific themed websites 02:35 - Do you want an established mature site? Try out the new packages from ATLWebGet your very own custom websites here Download the PDF Transcription   James Schramko here with a website news update. I’m going to be covering some new verticals, and also we’ve made some changes to our most popular package. Tap Into Our Team And Let Us Handle Your Site We have a whole team of WordPress web developers and the advantage for you is that you can actually tap into our team. Instead of you having to hire or task source or get that programmer from some cheap outsourcing place, or get work and then send it back, and get work and send it back, instead, you can just go to ATLWeb.com and order a 5 hour pack and we will do most things WordPress within that time pack. You don’t have to use it all at once. It’s there when you need it. You simply open an account the same way that you would put credit on a debit card or that you would put fuel in a car. You just top it up, and then let it run down. And when you need more, you just buy more. And the best news, we’ve just revised the price on our 5 hour packs to 399. Now that means you’re only paying for what you use. You’ll get a project manager on our support system at SuperFastHelp.com and when you need something on your website, you just go to your ticket and ask for it. Give us the logins, we’ll do it. We can do opt-ins, we can change colors, we can make updates to your site, we can do everything from turning your site into responsive. Now, I don’t know how long each of these things will take but we can give you an estimate before we start and this works really well. In fact, it’s our most popular package. Expect To See New Industry-Specific Themed Sites Coming Out Soon Now in terms of verticals, what that means is we are making themed websites for different industries. A lot of our customers sell websites to other professions, so you can expect some new verticals in the next few weeks for the Pool Services Industry, we’re also doing one for Contractors, so general “blue collar” workers, and then we’ve got a vertical for Food, so the food industries, restaurants, etc. So you can pick up these themes and the best thing about these themes is they do not exist anywhere else. They’re absolutely exclusive to ATLWeb.com because we create these themes. It takes around about 35 hours to make these themes and then once they are available for you as a business service provider, they’ll go into our themed gallery and then now are going to be really really low price compared to what you’d normally pay. We have websites from 199 dollars and we have responsive ones from 299 dollars that is installed on your server and ready to go with a text logo that looks just like the theme.Photo credit Get Established Mature Domains From Us Also, if you want an established mature site, head over to Marketplace where I’ve got over a thousand already-built sites. Pretty much every one of those is a custom designed with custom content on a mature domain and in some cases, with tens of thousands of links already pointing to them so they’re established and ready to go. I’m James Schramko and I hope you’ve enjoyed these tips. Do you like the changes? Feel free to leave your comments below.

So I’m pretty pleased with that!” Nick: “…Woke up this morning $93.86 richer with my first affiliate commission! A sales ratio of 3.4% – one sale from 29 unique visits! …This has been the easiest money I have ever made online. I have spent years of work on several sites, made my own products, paid for several thousand dollar courses and while I have made money in sales my ROI has been terrible. But, thanks to Andy and James, the dream of working from home is close to becoming a reality.” George: “…I have had a great rankings happen for my site,, however I have applied Andy’s conversion methods to existing sites and had great results. Had my biggest day of sales ever on one website and building a list that is really building up…” Tara: “…Wow everyone! I just found out that this morning I made my first sale… That is – my first sale EVER online!!!”These early success results are very inspiring and it shows that if people follow a proven method they can succeed. More success stories will follow soon.How to instantly improve your Affiliate Marketing resultsWorking very closely with students like we did in the past 8 weeks of the masterclass gave us a lot insights about areas where average affiliate marketers often struggle. Here are a few tips to improve your results from Affiliate Marketing. Following these tips will greatly improve your chance of success:Market ResearchSpending more time on market research and finding out where the big traffic is (and the hungry buyers are) will significantly increase the success rate. We want to actively analyzeoffers that are hot at the moment and we can use popular sites like Amazon Bestsellers, eBay Pulse, Clickbank Marketplace and many more to find out what products people are looking for.We like to target evergreen markets that attract a hungry crowd today and in the future to build a sustainable business. There are 4 big Markets shown in the masterclass where we had our most success in, each broken down into subniches.Understanding your MarketYou need to understand who your target audience is, what problems they have, what language they speak etc. If you can not connect with them it is very difficult to gain trust and chances are that they click the back button quicker than you can think.Important tip: Try to think like a customer in your market

Join the SilverCircle community Join the SuperFastBusiness community today  James Schramko here with an Internet Marketing news update. In this episode I’m going to give you some advice around dealing with Facebook comments, I’m going to share with you a great technique to get a whole bunch of traffic to your website, and I’ll share some software tips. Dealing with bad Facebook comments When you use Facebook marketing you will get people who hate you. It’s bizarre, but online people get really powerful behind the computer, and it’s not like in real life where you’ll be driving down the freeway and then we see a billboard and we would scream abuse at a paid ad, or if we’re sitting there watching television we don’t just hurl out a torrent of abuse, swear words in all caps when someone puts an advertisement on TV. But for some reason when people who are on the free Facebook – if they see your sponsored ad and they don’t like it they just start hurling abuse and a torrent of bad things. Remember it’s reflecting how they feel about themselves and it’s not necessarily about you. So provided you’re targeting well and doing the best you can, just remember you will get a few lunatics per thousand people out there. Just ban them from your page, delete the comment, and move on with your head held high.Photo creditOkay, how do you get a massive amount of traffic to your website? In anything that you record whether it’s an audio or a video, mention somebody. And then after you finished the recording, send them a link to the recording and say – you get a mention in this recording. I know when people mention me I go and Tweet it or Facebook it or mention it in another video. I do this all the time and also I mention other people and I tell them when I mention them, and they send me traffic. I did a great podcast with Chris Farrell and he mentioned it to his audience and I got to meet a whole bunch of his friends, and his friends were really nice people so it turned out to be a good strategy, so that’s my tip for getting traffic. Software tips Okay in software tips. My first software tip is Wistia have introduced their turn style opt-in now to work with the popular auto responders which is great. You can now show an email opt-in before, during, or after a video and integrates with all the popular email providers. This is a big step, well done Wistia. The best feature about this is that once someone’s opted-in – if they come back they don’t get asked again to opt-in. My next tip is on your computer. If you have Windows7 or a modern Mac you probably have dictate to speech. It’s free and it’s a great way of speeding up the amount of content that you produce, you can actually just talk to your computer and it will type for you and it’s very accurate if you use a high quality microphone. My third software tip is “forms.” If you’re making forms on your website and you want it to populate and get you results and automate and leverage things, then if you want a hosted solution on your website then use Gravity Forms. If you want someone else to host it then you want to have Google docs or SurveyMonkey. I like Google docs and it works really well on mobile phones and it’s got a lot of the features that are used to be paid features on Survey Monkey. It’ll fill out a nice spreadsheet for you and it’s really easy to use. So I hope you’ve enjoyed these tips.

 How To Get 40% Conversions (Even With Weak Sales Copy) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 34:43

The goal for Scarcity Samurai was high conversions and high opt-in ratesThe most powerful sales element tested by Eugene was scarcity and deadlines. Copywriting is important yet the scarcity on poor copy sites still really improves conversion rate (example: Ebay)Eugene recommends: Influence by CialdiniThe six elements mentioned in Influence are: Social Proof Liking Reciprocity Commitment and consistency Authority ScarcityThese elements are not weighed, so Eugene tested them and he discovered scarcity was the most powerful by far.Note: ebay has a 40% conversion rate of salesEugene gives us some secrets about how to get feedback from beta users of software and how to use commitment and consistency.Tip: you don't need hype sales when you combine hard wired instinct behavioursHow Scarcity Samurai Works:Offer a 7 day sale when you opt-in and cookie visits All emails mention the sale saving The countdown timer in the app and on the site matchesThis gives you an evergreen launch With conversions at almost 12%....Boost affiliate sales using Scarcity Samurai: Noble Samurai has 10,000 affiliates 60% revenue come through affiliates (This is because the opt-in and conversion rates are excellent).Traditional product launches are great except they finish...Tips: Build around an evergreen business Why the gurus don't have a business Going from promotion to promotionDo occasional promotions to get the extra sales Build a consistent business that uses scarcityThis Wordpress plugin allows: fixed date promotions option evergreen optionScarcity Samurai integrates with your auto responder and has been responsible for a 450% increase...

And for this call, I’ve brought on a special friend who I’ve known for years now. A great Australian developer with a software company we’ve probably all heard of by now called Market Samurai. James:            Good day Eugene, how are you today? Eugene:          Thanks James, how’s it going? James:          Good! Now Eugene, we’ve been dealing with each other for a long time and initially, heard about you through Ed Dale and Market Samurai. And of course, pretty much everyone in the internet marketing space has a copy of Market Samurai sitting on their computer. I’m not sure of your exact numbers but I know that it must be at least in the hundreds of thousands of customers, is that right? Eugene:        Yeah, I’ve been really really blessed. As I said, it’s just been runaway sort of success. I think the current numbers now, just had a look at it the other day, we’re about 700,011 people have got copies of Market Samurai because I’ve got a free version and a paid version and about 71-72,000 of those people are customers. James:            Wow! Okay, so I’m sure most listeners would die for a customer base that big.
