Anik Singal Releases his Online Empire Blueprint

My very first online mentor, Anik Singal, has just released his free
158 page report, The Empire Formula:
http://www.bit.ly/9qXxjF

I first came across Anik when I joined his Affiliate Classroom
in 2005.  I became a life member in 2007 and subsequently
joined Anik's PPC Classroom and his Article Directory, AffSphere.

Anik has created a $10 Million per year online empire.  His report
details step-by-step how you could build your own Empire.

The Empire Formula is actually 4 formulae - deciding your niche
market, product creation, marketing & traffic and list building.

He devotes 21 pages just to the first formula - deciding your niche.
It is very comprehensive and challenges a lot of established views.

My suggestion is if you download the report, you skim the
report first.  Then if you are stuck for a niche, read the first formula
in depth. If you are happy with your niche but want to develop
products, check out formula 2 - a very good discussion helping
you to decide what to create.

If you want to improve your marketing of products in your
chosen niche, focus in on Formula 3 - marketing and traffic.
If you are not building your list effectively, formula 4 on
list building will give you heaps of ideas.

So anyone can make use of this report whether you want to build
an online empire or just improve your online income.

This is an exceptional report and you will not find this level of
detail in any other report that does not have a price tag.

Squidoo: create a free report for traffic and income

Free reports are a great list building tool and
can also generate profits through direct advertising
and sales from your resultant mailing list.

Most top internet marketers use free reports to
build their mailing lists. The attraction of such
reports has increased with the global economic
downturn as people are looking for free or cheap
sources of information.

You need to provide quality information in your
report but not the total answer. You can provide
additional information via an email course or
ongoing updates.

PLR articles and reports can be re-cycled to create
the report or you can develop it from scratch. One of
the quicker ways to develop you own original free
reports is to bundle your own articles into an e-book
on a specific niche topic area.

Income can be earned by including advertising of
your own products or affiliate products. The key here
is not to overdo the advertising (usually placed on the
last/first page rather than throughout).

You can also sell advertising space in your e-book to
other merchants/internet marketers.

Once you have created your free report you can then
advertise it through your relevant Squidoo lens (lenses)
and provide links to the sign-up page for the free report.
The lens can also serve as "pre-sell copy" for the report
by establishing your credibility. You can link the report
to your lens for further lens traffic.

There are heaps of benefits in free reports, not the least
of which is the income flow from your resultant mailing
list.

There are many free programs that will enable you to
convert a Microsoft Word document to a PDF e-book.

Here's one that I consistently use (PDF995):

Are You Building a Lens or a Business?

This is the question that Lee McIntyre asks in his recently
released e-book, Mailing Lists Unleashed
(note: not an affiliate link).

Lee makes the point as do other list building experts that
you need to leverage the present to build the future.

In other words, you should be focusing on building your list.

This means that your Squidoo lenses (the more the merrier)
should serve to capture subscribers to your email list.

The reason - the real income is not in the one-off sale
up front but the on-going sales from your list at the back end.

If you simply send visitors to affiliate managers' websites,
you are building their list and business, not your own.

It's a simple but profound concept. I've heard it one more
time but this time it seemed to have more impact. Lee
emphasizes the need to build a sustainable internet business.

Lee challenges many of the myths of list building. He argues
that the money is not in the size of the list but in the
relationship that you have with your subscribers.

He attacks the myth that you should not give your subscribers
lots of freebies because they will develop a "freebie mentality".
His own results from relatively small lists tend to contest
this viewpoint.

Lee's Mailing Lists Unleashed (80 pages) is full of sound,
practical advice about squeeze pages, confirmation pages and
relationship building. His step-by-step, honest approach is
really refreshing.

For instance he reiterates the importance of having your
squeeze page focused on benefits not features. He stresses the
need to ensure that the squeeze page highlights the sign-up box
and does not have distracting information or links.

After reading this e-book I realized that I have lots of work
to do to tidy up my squeeze page and improve my confirmation
page. Lee makes the point that a minor change can improve
your subscription rate immensely. Ten new subscribers a day
is a lot better than 3 or 4.

The other key thing that I have to do is to make sure that
all my lenses promote subscription to my list(s) which are
hosted on Aweber.

So far I have found that Aweber is the best autoresponder
for my mailing lists (after testing 5 others). Aweber's
service is outstanding.

Ewen Chia reinforces Lee's message. He suggests that effective
list building and relationship building are two key features
of Super Affiliates.

I would recommend that if you do nothing else, you visit Lee's
Mailing Lists Unleashed and sign up for his monthly email
newsletter (and associated freebies).

Product of the Month

Well this is not really a product in itself. During the week Dr. Mani
was promoting his "A Day for Hearts" designed to fund operations for
children with chronic heart disease. Dr. Mani recently retired as a
heart surgeon to devote himself to his very successful internet
marketing business and his Chronic Heart Disease Foundation.
Here's where you can save a child's life with a small donation:

Squidoo Affiliate Marketing: build your list

Squidoo is great for building your list.

While Squidoo Lensmasters can no longer use iframes
in their lenses, there are other ways to capture leads.

Create a lead capture Squidoo module

At the moment I am using a lead capture module which
has the cover of my ebook as the eye-catching image.

Here's the module where I offer a free subscription
to my 7 day email course plus weekly follow-up with
tips, hints and Squidoo marketing strategies:
Lead Capture Module

I have added 300 people to my mailing list in the last
6 months using this method.

I hope to get a signficant boost to my list building
during November when I offer my Squidoo Marketing
Strategies ebook free at the Work at Home Giveaway
commencing at 12PM EST on 9 November:
http://www.117workathomegifts.com/index.php?id=354

One of the list building secrets with Squidoo is to
build multiple focused Squidoo lenses so that you are
attracting a wide variety of people with different interests.
For example, I have built Squidoo lenses around my
interest in the inner game of tennis, affiliate marketing,
poetry, boutique hotels, online learning, digital storytelling,
Eva Cassidy, Clickbank and Facebook:

You need a reliable autoresponder for your list

It is vitally important to have a reliable autoresponder and
a meaningful follow-up email series. Some of the people
who join my email course purchase my book,
Squidoo Marketing Strategies. They all join my regular
list and receive weekly broadcasts about Squidoo marketing,
tools and tips.

I am using Aweber.com as my autoresponder and found it
very reliable, with an excellent delivery rate and superb
service. I have used the online chat facility a number of
times to solve a problem and the issues were handled very
professionally by knowledgable staff.

I have previously used four different autoresponders
and experienced problems of downtime, broadcast
failures and even loss of my mailing list of 1,500 people
because of poor backup facilites. I decided eventually
that if I was going to build an online business I needed
a professional autoresponder as my busines backbone.

I have really appreciated the quality of Aweber:
http://www.aweber.com/?219129

So the steps to build your list with Squidoo are:

1. create a lead capture module on Squidoo lenses
2. provide an email course or gift to attract prospects
3. use a reliable autoresponder like Aweber
4. provide regular email broadcasts to your list

You may have to have different lists for your various
Squidoo lenses. I am lucky that all my subscribers
at the moment are interested in Squidoo affiliate
marketing so I can have a common list.

However, I am in the process of writing a free ebook on
on the inner game of tennis which I will link to a series
of emails created by one of the relevant affiliate
merchants. So I will build another list just for that
Squidoo lens and readers. Here's my Squidoo lens
on the inner game of tennis:
