How this guy makes $9,000 month selling a board game...

Blog Tips Newsletter by Yaro Starak

Here's a video worth watching sometime
this weekend.

If you think your blog topic could not
be profitable, then this story should give
you some serious motivation.

This is a great video of a guy who makes
six figures a year online and his niche
topic is ...herbs!

---------------------

Hello There,

If you want to go straight to the video about the
guy who makes $9,000 per month selling a board
game about herbs, this is the link -

http://www.productlaunchformula.com

I sent this newsletter out a year ago and it was
the most popular story of 2008.

I'm sending it again because Jeff Walker is about
to do a run of his Product Launch Formula 2.0
course, and if you've not done it before, you
definitely should.

I consider Jeff's course mandatory study for any
person who plans to sell a product or service
online. These are FUNDAMENTAL marketing techniques
that, if you implement, will make your product
a mega-success. It's worked for me every time.  

To convince you of how powerful these techniques
are, Jeff uses this fantastic case study of a
student of his who makes over $100,000 a year...

...and his product is a board game about herbs.

I kid you not.

Here's the background story...

******

As someone who writes about the Internet marketing
industry, who presents articles to help people
make money online and runs a membership site to
teach people to blog for profit, it's pretty
clear I make a living by helping others make a
living online too.

That, for obvious reasons, tends to bother some
people, and I'm questioned whether you can indeed
make money from the Internet if you don't sell
people products on how to make money. It does seem
rather incestuous in some way doesn't it?

Well some of you will be surprised to know that
yes, you can build an Internet business that is
not focused on Internet marketing or anything
related to making money and be very successful.

In fact I expect significantly more people make a
living online selling stuff in niches that have
nothing to do with money, marketing, or business.

And here's some interesting proof of just that -

A BOARD GAME ABOUT HERBS?

If you ever had doubts about the potential to
succeed online by finding a niche and creating a
business around it, then Jeff Walker has a video
you have to watch.

Jeff is the guy behind Product Launch Formula, a
course I purchased over two years ago that is no
longer available. Jeff's tactics are great and in
my opinion, mandatory study for any person who
intends to sell something online.

Jeff's about to release a new version of his
program, titled Product Launch Formula 2.0, and in
anticipation of the release, he's put out this
awesome video from one his clients who used the
launch formula in a very obscure niche - herbs -
and one of the products he sells is a board game.

I don't know about you, but a board game based on
herbs is not something I would ever expect could
be the basis of a six figure business.

WATCH THE VIDEO

Jeff explains how our herb entrepreneur pulled off
this amazing feat and breaks down the exact
process he went through to launch his board game
in a free video you can watch here -

Note: You have to give Jeff your email to watch
the video, but he's an honest guy and his email
newsletter is solid, you should be on his list.

I've been a subscriber for over three years now
and he's never done anything to make me want to
leave his list. I can't say that about most
other Internet marketing email newsletters.
 
LESSONS FROM THE VIDEO

There's some great content in the video and I
recommend you take 45 minutes from you day today
to watch it from start to finish.

Here's just some of the notes I took -

    * Conducting teleseminars with experts as part
of your launch process is a VERY powerful
technique, especially in non-Internet marketing
niches. Experts you interview will help build your
list because they want to promote their interview
and thus will send traffic to it, this in turn
helps you sell more product.

    * Using a limited bonus package for the first
X buyers creates scarcity, which ramps up sales
big time.

    * Having a list of buyers is 10 or 20 times
more valuable than having a list of prospects.
This is the core reason people can run very
successful businesses with tiny email lists -
because they have a list with people who actually
are interested enough in what you offer to spend
money, they are not just freebie seekers.

    * Create a sense of community before the
release of your product. One of the suggested
methods for doing this is through blog comments
and there's some awesome examples of how John
(the herb guy) did this in the video.

The core strategy presented in the video is what
Jeff calls the Horizontal Helix, which sounds
scientific to me, but it's not.  

Put simply, it's about using each launch as a
springboard for bigger launches in the future.  

What's cool about this case study, is that John
was able to automate the process using email
autoresponders so you don't have to do a massive
launch (and invest all that time and energy) each
time.

I've only touched on a few of the ideas from the
video, so as you can tell this is one value packed
resource. It's worth watching regardless of
whether you intend to join Jeff's program or not.

Remember - opt-in first to get the full version so
you don't have wait for it to load twice. You can
unsubscribe after opting in if the emails bug you,
but I expect they won't. Jeff's one of the few
Internet marketers I remain subscribed to because
he doesn't abuse his list.  

Plus I like the guy, he's pretty down to earth,
yet smart.

In my opinion the most lucrative monetization method
bloggers have available today is to release their
own product (more effective than AdSense, or
affiliate marketing or selling advertisements on
your blog).

Treat this video as inspiration to begin the
process of creating and selling your own product.

Here's to your blogging success,
