I have been using different subscriber systems to both build a list and make affiliate sales for some time now and have released two reports on very similar ideas, one called The Profit Funnel Secret and the other is The Subscriber Simple Secret.

The Subscriber Simple Secret is a simple plan that you can follow and set up to start building a list for free, and make money with affiliate programs.

The concept is based on my Profit Funnel Secret that I released a few years ago. The Internet moves fast and in 2 years some strategies lose their effectiveness. Although the Profit Funnel system still works great, and I still use it everyday, I wanted to see if I could better it, and I did...

So I have modified and added to the Profit Funnel Secret to make it better and more effective..

With the Profit Funnel Secret, you use a squeeze page to capture subscribers. All you need with your squeeze page to make this work is about a 40% conversion, meaning for every 100 people that go to your site, 40 will subscribe to your list.

Although the more the merrier, 40% will work fine. I have had some Profit Funnels generating 60% conversions, but 40% is all you really need.

When somebody subscribes, they are taken to either a product of yours (best option) or if you do not have one, you will be an affiliate for somebody else’s product and promote that. All your product or affiliate product needs to do is convert at about 1% (1-2% is the industry average and easily obtained) to make this strategy work.

The herd mind places high value on things that are limited or scarce.

For the most part, you should try and make something limited no matter what you are promoting.

If it is your own product, you can limit the price for a certain amount of days... "Price will increase in 3 days, etc.." Or if you are promoting somebody else’s product or opportunity, then give away a bonus package for whoever joins under you, and limit that.

It really doesn't matter what you limit, just as long as part of the offer that you are promoting is limited. This creates an urgency and a need to not be left out.

Nobody wants to be left out. That is one of the main driving forces of the herd.

We join the herd mentality to not be left out. Like I said earlier, it’s the whole “if everybody else is doing it, it must be okay” idea that keeps the herd going strong.

And those things almost always translate into more sales. Find a way to limit your offers, either with time, price, bonuses or whatever.

Joint ventures are the main way to promote your speed sale.

If you are going to do a firesale then you would usually give your joint venture partners 50-60% of the sale.

If you are doing a dime/nickel sale then I suggest giving them 100% of the first product and you take 100% of the upsell and backend sales.

As for a special customer/subscriber only sale, you would need to work out what percentage each JV partner will earn on a specific basis as this type of sale is set up specifically for each partner.

I've been explaining the benefits of joint ventures for years now. They have always been one of my top ways to generate traffic.

But, it is getting harder and harder to land good joint ventures these days. The reason? It's getting too crowded.

See, it used to be where people were looking for products to promote because there weren't many. So when you had a good product, you could ask people to JV with you and they would be happy to have something new to promote.

But now, there are so many different things to promote that people are getting bombarded with JV requests.

There are a few ways to do this. One of them is free ebooks. Even though free ebooks seem to have taken a back seat to other techniques these days, they are still very powerful if they are done right, especially in markets outside of Internet marketing.

Create a free ebook with your subscriber form on each page and valuable content. Encourage people to pass it on to their friends. Nothing new with that..

But, to make this more powerful, here is another idea. Create a product or short report and sell it for cheap. Then find other businesses in your niche and sell them the resell rights for cheap.

When people open your ebook, they will have to register it first by filling in their name and email. You kindly explain to them that this way, they will get free updates and other special news from you- Customers only of course.

This way, whoever bought the rights to your book will sell it, and all of those customers will have to register before accessing the product, which means opt-in paying customers to add to your list.

Another viral idea is contests or giveaways. This can work in any market as well (although I am sure you have seen these in action in the Internet marketing market).

Create a free giveaway where you give away things (reports, ebooks, etc..) of value to your niche market. Bring in other businesses like yours (your competitors) to also give away things for free.

Then everybody involved promotes it to their list and on their site. The people go to the giveaway site and have to register before they download any of the freebies.

A good thing about PLR ebooks is that most come with sales letters.

Now, these aren't the best sales letters on the planet- Although, they aren't the worst either. They are usually written by a professional copywriter, but usually a cheap copywriter- But they are certainly useable. Heck, sometimes I put these sales letters up unedited and they convert at 4-5%, so you may be surprised.

All you really need to make money online is an average sales ratio, which is 1-2%. Which means 1 to 2 people will buy out of every 100 visitors who see the sales page.

To put it one way, marketing is a numbers game, and these numbers are the most important...How much traffic you are getting, and how much of that traffic is buying. All of the other crap you read is just another way to make making money online more complicated than it has to be.

So just focus on these two things- getting traffic, and converting it into sales.

So what do you do with the sales letter that came with your PLR ebook? Make it unique of course..

If you only edited one ebook into a “best of” report, then you just need to edit the one sales letter that came with it. But if you used multiple sources to come up with your report, then making a “best of” sales letter will work.

Making a complete career change, whatever the reason, is a really big undertaking that can have huge ramifications in your life if you don’t take the time to think things through. Jumping too quickly can result in more unhappiness in your career than you’re feeling right now, so it’s important to avoid making a few common mistakes.

First, have a plan. Probably the biggest mistake you can make is attempting to change careers without a plan. A successful career change can often take months to accomplish when you have a strategy, so without one, you could end up adrift for an even longer period.

Having a detailed action plan (including items such as strategies, finances, research, and education/training) is essential to your success. Without a plan, you might take the first job offer that comes along, whether it is a good fit for you or not.

Don’t make the mistake of confusing hating your current job with hating your current career. Take the time to analyze whether it’s just the job, another employee, or your boss that you hate, or whether it’s the career, the skills necessary to do the job, or the work that you dislike.

The same goes with if you are feeling bored or lost with your job; review whether it’s the job, the employer, or the career. Whatever you determine, it’s best not to leave your job -- if possible -- until you have a plan for finding a new career.

Many people make career changes based solely on the prospect of making more money or because of better benefits. This, too, can be a mistake. Certain career fields are very alluring because of the salary and other benefits they offer, but be very careful of switching careers because of all the dollar signs.
