You’ve heard “Content is King.” Here’s a new one for you… “Email Marketing is Emperor.” We’ve all heard “The money’s in the list” too. Well, the money’s in the list, and it’s also in authority sites that generate so much traffic that it’s got to be a whole lot of fun to sit back and watch the money pour in from ad revenue.
However…
I’ve been wanting to say for a long time that email marketing is the best thing you can do online and now I believe I finally have the proof. For one, I make most of my income through an auto-responder. Secondly, I’ve worked behind the scenes with some pie-in-the-sky gurus and I’ve seen them send 8,000-11,000 clicks to a site from sending just 1 email… and you wouldn’t believe how many dollars these guys make with 1 email until you’ve seen it.
Finally, reason #3… Let’s take a case study. John Chow has one of the biggest internet marketing blogs on the net. If you’ve been to it, you know it has more ads on the site than a classifieds section of a newspaper (Not that that’s bad at all… the guy is a hardcore marketer… I freakin love it.)
So, I believe most marketers think he makes the bulk of his income from onsite advertising. WRONG. Of the $40,000 per month made from the blog, Chow openly admits that roughly 1/3 of revenue comes from the onsite advertising, and the rest is made from the email list he collects from the site… and getting clients into recurring commission affiliate programs.
What are the reasons why email marketing makes you so much money?
- You don’t need THAT much traffic to make a decent income with email. For revenue from ads like AdSense, you do. That right there pretty much says it all.
- You can make money whenever you want, just by sending an email. You can sell more stuff to the same customers whenever you want.
- If you’re only running ads, a customer would have to consciously choose to visit your site in order to see your offer. EVERYONE checks their email, so with an autoresponder, you put it right in front of their face.

What do you think about my opinion? Do you think I’m right or wrong? Do you have a case that furthers my proof or do you have one against what I’m saying?
I'm sorry - you can't simply call this "Affiliate Training"
or even Advanced Affiliate Training! You are handing over the goods to an ENTIRE business model - complete with the foundational principles that 95% of all online marketers miss or skip. (Being totally honest here - you pointed out a few things that even I've missed in my
own affiliate marketing endeavors!) I'm blown away at how comprehensive you've been in assembling ALL the pieces of the "profit pie" in a concise, easy to follow, step-by-step formula. This is a no-brainer and the contents in this package far exceed what I've seen a lot of people pay $1000s for in conventional coaching programs. It does my heart good to see two people who aren't turning people lose into a sea of confusion and only revealing half of the picture. You guys covered it all in style!
I was literally blown away by the amount of content you were able to share in just 3 hours. It's truly refreshing to see people who are sharing information on
what's working right NOW based on REAL numbers and REAL results. While others still seem to cover the "same old information", you've laid out a real step by step plan that works, and reveal tips and
tricks I've never heard shared anywhere else! I honestly believe that anyone who gets this course will not only be
successful, but by following your tips on optimizing the entire business model, your members will be making a killing in no time!"
I just finished going though your affiliate training course and
I must say, you guys have really outdone yourselves with this one... IT'S AWESOME! The information you let go in this training course is exactly
what people need to know to get their affiliate marketing
business off the ground. I wish I would've had this info when I first started out... you should be charging more for it.
I definitely will be recommending this to my readers...
Wow Jason! I just finished that video and it is amazing! I was expecting to just watch it real quick, thinking that I wouldn't learn
anything new. But man, I found myself taking 5 pages worth of notes and reconfiguring some of the ways I currently do business. You really do drop some golden nuggets of information
here. You could easily break this stuff up, spread it out over 3 months, and sell it as a continuity product. I feel like I just got a personal coaching session. This really is great work. This isn't me just BSing and kissing your a** either. I really did learn a lot and I
think I'm going to have a much more profitable business for it. Just the resources and links that you give out make this so valuable. You honestly really over-delivered!
This is by far and away the most comprehensive course on Affiliate Marketing I've ever seen. For newbies it answers a lot of questions that often stop them getting started in the first place. But it's not
just for newbies, I'm sure a lot of experienced affiliates don't know a lot of this stuff! Some of the resources in the accompanying PDF I had not seen before, this alone is a very useful part of the package. The bonus Squeeze Page Crusher video is an extremely valuable addition to
the package with some surprising and counter intuitive test results. I
wonder how many squeeze pages out there could benefit from the conversion boosts you guys got?

I think you’re absolutely right Jason. Even though I’m at the beggining of my IM career I can honestly say that list building has been the most important element of my business.

P.s. It seems like some of your links are working?

@DesDrec Thanks for the heads up man
I think the plugin I’m using is screwing up links for some peoples’ browsers.
