Message from the President Frank Terranova:

Winners Prepare Their Way to Success!

The will to do is not as important as the will to prepare to do. Look inside yourself and not into the promises of others. Prepare yourself for the success you have been dreaming of, and deserve.
The truth is, no matter what you are told, you will have to personally acquire the knowledge, skills, and personal power you need in order to be able to guarantee your own personal success–
AND –
You will also have to choose to lose your dependence on others as you work at gaining an independence for yourself that will enable you to to become the success – you may have – up to now- only dreamt of being.
AND –
You will need to ignore the hype and empty promises and focus on truths and facts…and on building your own business… a real business that works for you 24/7.
There is no magic “affiliate success dust”. It takes that special affiliate working for success to make it in this business. That is the magic… the work.
Be a “magic” person and work for what you want.

Clickbank – The Affiliate Marketer’s Marketplace Dream Come True

By: Ann Moss, Mastermind Pros

 Many affiliate marketers utilize Clickbank for the promotions.  Since Clickbank is the largest provider of digital products on the internet, this only makes sense.  But how many of these affiliate marketers actually take the time to do research on what are going to be the best products to promote.   Do they look beyond what is the most popular or what has the highest gravity score?   How many new affiliate marketer know that there is much more to picking a product?  How many affiliate marketers actually take a look to see if the product they are promoting with Clickbank is actually friendly to the affiliate marketer?  Most new affiliate marketers only know to look at the popularity and gravity scores and then just start promoting the product.   They do not realize that professional affiliate marketers will create their own landing page if they don’t like the pitch page or if it is not affiliate marketer friendly.    An affiliate marketer friendly pitch page has a professional look, properly utilizes keyword density and has only ONE “out” off of the page. The “out” is what many new affiliate marketers miss when reviewing their product.   They will just start promoting a product because it has high popularity or gravity scores, not realizing that they are just promoting for the publisher and not for themselves.   When they don’t make any sales, many will get discouraged and quit.  

 So, the next time you review a pitch page, check to see if it has only any one of these “outs” included in the page. Ø 

•  Free newsletter opt-in box:  This is where the publisher offers a newsletter to anyone that signs up.   It has been proven that it sometimes takes up to 6-7 emails or newsletters before someone will make a purchase.   By getting the visitor to sign up for a newsletter, the publisher has the opportunity to get the 6-7 emails out to increase their odds of a conversion.
• Free report opt-in box:  This is where the publisher offers a free report in exchange for an email address.   Again, the advantage here is that the publisher can now send out several email promotions/communications that will increase their odds of making a conversion.
•   Free e-course opt-in box:  These have become very popular.  A person signs up for a 3-5 part course from the publisher.   Included in these e-courses are promotions, again increasing the odds of a conversion. 

If any of these are on the page, it is human nature to sign up for the free stuff before making the commitment to purchase.  Each of these allows the visitor an “out” which benefits the product owner (publisher) and not the affiliate marketer.   When reviewing a pitch page, the only “out” you want on the page is the one that takes the visitor to the purchase page.  Now there can be several of these call to action “outs”, but they should all lead to the same page – the one that actually takes the order.   So next time you are reviewing a Clickbank product for promotion, make sure it is affiliate marketer friendly.  Remember – it’s all about getting the conversion that benefits both the publisher AND the affiliate marketer. 

Can 2008 go by any faster?  Here is it already May 4 and if you are like me you have not done all you needed to do for April.  Hopefully if you live in the USA you did file your income taxes so you are qualified for your rebates.  Are you getting a rebate and do you have a plan for that rebate?

It is funny how every post I start out has a direction, and then all of a sudden it goes off in a related direction but not necessarily what I had planned.  However speaking of Rebates and what to do with it, there is a suggestion I have as a coaching member of Mastermind Pros.

How is your education doing?  Is there anything you want to learn that can help you make more income?  I mean we are all excited about some “free money” from the government.  Now what if you used some of that “free money” to invest in your education and applied that knowledge to your business.  Do you know that “free money” just became a tax write-off because you spent it on your education for something job or business related.

There is one group of people that I know of who are doing just that.  They are using their “free money” to go to a workshop.  Others are pooling their “free money” to get some leads, so it is an advertising expense.

If you look into Mastermind Pros Coaching, we are having some specials now for our coaching.  Contact Coach Frank on the MMP website to see if you can use some of your “free money” to invest in your education.  You won’t regret this decision.

Happy New Year Everyone.  Wow 2008 is off and running.  Whether or not we were ready it is here.  New Years bring so much hope and promise even though it is nothing more than another day.  However it is good to have starting points.  We have a time to reflect on what was right and learn from what was wrong and then move on.

One of our goals at Mastermind Pros is to get more and more people out there (or here) blogging.  Bloggers are an interesting group of people who find time to write and post articles.  I believe most bloggers are interested in helping people with what they have to say.  Some bloggers just rant on one topic day after day.  However this is a great outlet for it!  Wouldn’t you rather they do this in a constructive way.  Plus many of us have the same rants but just resist the urge to broadcast it.

Make 2008 a memorable year.  Take time for you, and if starting up a new business or looking for a way to add some extra cash to your life is something you want to do, then consider starting a blog.

Hello Fellow Internet Entrepreneurs!

Are you a fellow internet entrepreneur?  Well if you are, or you are thinking about becomming one, 2008 should be a great year for us!  More and more people are discovering shopping from the internet and more and more people are setting up shop on the internet.  All the big boys and girls are here, too, of course!  We have all the main corporations anxious to keep their customers who might be stolen away.

How can you benefit from that?  There are several ways to benefit from “other” companies setting up shop using the internet.  You can make money without even having to carry inventory or ship products!  Now that sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

Of course the people at Mastermind Pros did not learn how to do this overnight and they don’t expect you to learn it overnight either.  There are more ways to do this then you might think. 

If you are new and your goal for 2008 is to set up a business online, and earn extra income that will be your way out of the rat race you are not alone.  There are thousands of people waiting to help you (or help themselves to your dollars).  Consider getting some coaching from those who have been in the trenches. 

At any rate read what you can on starting your internet business, and bookmark this blog for future articles about getting some cash by using your computer and your spare time from your home.

Enjoy the rest of this 2007 Holiday Season.

At Mastermind Pros the courses are very varied.  There are classes that teach people about the different types of  buying personalities.  Did you know that you can either be a Bulldog, a Lamb, or a Kitten?  There is one more type but to find that out you are going to have to join Frank Terrranova on one of his famous personality selling courses.

Are you someone who seems to have uncontrolable internet spending habits?  Find out why in one of these courses.  Just knowing what to recognize in your own personality can save you hundreds of dollars and make you hundreds of dollars once you know how to market to each personality type.

Mastermind Pros Coaching is offering specials for people who want to test drive it and I am sure there will be something brewing to celebrate the new year.

If you are a Bulldog and want more facts and are a bit leary because of  a lot of empty promises maybe some comments from our clients will help build your belief bucket.

As for me personally, I spent thousands of dollars on a coaching program for Ebay, and I never made that money back.  However with Andy’s Ebay classes I have learned so much that this time next year I will have my Ebay store open again.  There are a few coaches at Mastermind Pros who are making a first and second income using Ebay.  Find out what the power sellers do not share with you.

Here is what one of our members has to say: ”

And while I’ve got a lot of professional working experience “under my belt”, I’m a newbie when it comes to AdWords, affiliate marketing and setting up as an entrepreneur. The Mastermind team reflects passion and patience as well as warmth and persistence. Thanks for everything, folks  I love it, and I love the work you’re doing. It offers about as personal a support system as you can get online.
