Sunday Email Part 19
**To avoid missing the next issue, go to www.SundayEmail.com now**
If you're new to my subscription and wondering what is a "Sunday Email", it's an email full of my rants, personal tips and opinions on marketing especially in the "internet marketing" niche. Sometimes, opinions on life. Whatever it is... it'll give you value after spending time reading it.
You know-- sometimes my Sunday Emails can be harshed. Cuts through like a ninja's blade. But come on, they're my rants. If I want to keep everyone happy and write about the colorful rainbow, birds chirping, flowers blooming, etc then I should just opens up a nursery home and take care of children.
So if you can relate to what I wrote when reading it-- good because I know it had just served the purpose of helping people.
One more thing-- it'll offend marketers. I hope you're not the one.
Do You Have Enough Time?
It's been almost 4 weeks since my last edition of Sunday Email Series and I'm suppose to write them weekly. Call it lazy but the fact is… I can only write a Sunday Email when I have real things to share, not writing for the sake of writing.
Time past extremely fast and sometimes, it scares me. Not because I'm getting older (smile) but because of so many things that I want to accomplish and yet they're still sitting there. It may sound like a self-centered sentence but isn't that the same with you too?
I'm not just referring to internet marketing or online business. I'm referring to EVERYTHING you want to do. So you think by sleeping less will give you more hours to do what you want to do? Temporarily, yes. But that's tactical. By doing that, you're trying to find more hours from your given 24 hours. That's what I've been trying to do but did not solve the problem.
So how to solve this problem? Well, I dunno. That's why I'm ranting here today and if you have any suggestion that are working for you, please leave at the Comment so I can read.
For a start, you got to know what you want. I know that's too generic so break them down into categories like:
Business
Career
Family
Leisure
And so on.
Then you have to prioritize on what must be accomplished and what can be waited. For instance, if you have 2 opportunities in front of you-- which one you should select?
Although opportunity A could be more profitable, but I'll go for opportunity B if that's urgent because if I don't act on it, others will.
Let me explain. Say, you have bought a new resale right product. At the same time, you also have created your own product to be promoted. If you don't start doing anything with the resale rights product, the value might depreciate because other resellers will start selling the same resale rights product which you got. But for your own 'evergreen' product, you do not have direct competitors.
2008 is coming. But before that, Christmas is here first. In the next 4 weeks, I bet you'll see a lot of marketers writing articles telling you how to make money during Christmas or pushing some Christmas business opportunities.
That's why I'm writing to you in advance because by the time they tell you or offer any opportunities, it's already way too late.
Marketers who make money during Christmas prepare MONTHS AHEAD. Some are players who are already in the game for YEARS. Do you think they start doing search engine optimization in December?
Let's take www.christmaspeople.com as an example. You'll find the site if you search for "Christmas decoration" in Google.com. And the site is listed for christmas ornaments, christmas table favors, christmas party supply, christmas decorating and another 100 other hot keywords on page one of Google.com's search. I did a quick search to find the link popularity and it returned with thousands of backlinks.
So when someone is going to sell you an opportunity of "Christmas business-in-a-box package", do some research like asking him, "Have you sold any of these before during Christmas or any proof that they can be sold?"
So since you have 4 weeks to go, how can you still make money online in Christmas?
Leverage on what others are already offering. The idea I'm going to tell you won't work but I'm sharing so that you can see my point-- what if you got some nice Christmas products to be sold and get www.christmaspeople.com to promote for you? It could be an affiliate program you've set up or selling to them at wholesale price. Whatever. The point is, LEVERAGE.
Another example: You'll see many marketers coming up with "Christmas Giveaway" promotions in December. That's a smart way to leverage to build a mailing list. They don't need to promote now because it's a festive season but promotions can be rolled-in next year.
"Are You Promoting Ewen Chia's Super Affiliate Inner Circle Membership Club?"
Yes, and this is what I wrote to my subscribers yesterday...
Hi,
Today, the world's first and only
super affiliate training membership
was just launched by Ewen Chia.
When Ewen told me excitedly on the
phone about how this can truly be
your ticket to the internet lifestyle,
I asked him how much it'll cost since
his last training was sold at $1,497.
When he told me how affordable it's
going to be, I was thinking of how
many people will finally be able to
learn his secrets.
Then my next question was-- why would
my subscriber be interested to join?
Now, before I tell you the answer, I
want to address a concern that I have.
I'm not promoting the Super Affiliate
Inner Circle Membership Club because
we're good friends. We know each other
for years, visit each other regularly,
catch up for coffee or breakfast, etc.
You see, it is a fact that buddies
promote buddies product as JV Partners
on the internet. This is common and
you might know that by now. So when
I'm endorsing the membership today,
I don't want you to get the wrong idea
that I'm doing this to scratch my
buddy's back.
With that being addressed, remember
the earlier question?
Here's why-- there are many other
affiliate training memberships available
out there for sure BUT most of them
are based on theories. Nothing solid.
One of the membership's modules is
the Super Affiliates Commissions - Live
Video Case Study which I believe, sets
this membership apart than the rest.
This is where the rubber meets the road.
Ewen's going to spill the beans how he
makes money online as an affiliate marketer
and you'll get to see the steps as a
proven case study.
And I've not even touch the other
4 major components and the real $797
Launch Bonus that you'll get when
you join today!
Here's the link to signup:

Also, this is the guy who made more
than $100,000 by selling a $9.97 product
and regularly listed as the top affiliate
for product launch.
**MY PERSONAL 3 BONUSES**
Once you have signed up, go to
www.replytopatric.com and include your
Clickbank Invoice at the "Bonus Claims"
department. You'll then get the following
bonuses below for free from me and they're
highly related to affiliate marketing--
not some mumbo jumbo bonuses.
Bonus #1: The Power Profit Affiliate
Identifier Software
As of today, this software is only
made available to my $997 affiliate
coaching clients.
It can determine the success rate of the
affiliate program that you've decided
to promote based on an algorithm I've
designed for my personal use previously.
It's a very powerful tool that has
been created based on tedious research of
years of experience. So by using this
software, you can now compare which
affiliate programs you should promote
instead of guessing.
No, this is not from any private label
or a resale rights product.
Bonus #2: The BackEnd Mastery
Home Course Include Resale Rights
This is a 5-module audio training I've
created to teach my clients how to
increase their profit from back-end
selling strategies such as upsell,
downsell and cross-sell.
It includes the Action Sheets for each
training module and the One-Time-Offer
Maximizer Software which can be used
to generate one-time 0ffer pages on
the fly!
You'll also get the Resale Rights of
this over 5 hours home course-- complete
with the proven salesletter and webpage
to be used instantly.
This is ALSO not from a private label or
resale rights product. My personal creation.
Bonus #3: Covert Affiliate Links Software
This is the software that I use to cloak
my affiliate links and manage all of the
affiliate program login details in one
control panel.
But the coolest part of the software
is it can bypass squeeze page.
For instance, if you're promoting an
affiliate program and your affiliate
link will send your visitors to the
landing page of a squeeze page, you can
use the software to send to the merchant's
salesletter directly instead and you'll
still get credited for affiliate sales.
Your bonuses will be sent to you within
48 hours once your order is confirmed.

Membership Club now at:

REMEMBER: You'll only get the bonuses
if you signup from this the link above.

What's The Future Of Internet Marketing In 2008?
I'm not the oracle so I cannot predict. In this small, over-crowed but highly profitable internet marketing niche, it's east to spot a 'trend'. Just see what products are being launched. For instance, you have seen a lot of marketers start to sell membership programs lately because there were several product launches of membership trainings a couple of months ago. Then it was followed by tons of 'how to make money from membership' courses and membership management software.
But I can foresee that web 2.0 elements will be the future in 2008. Not because a marketer is pushing on that concept very well, but it's a fact that website visitors are becoming 'smarter' now. I've tested a salesletter that uses the classic black-and-white salesletter versus an image-designed salesletter-- the later one outpull the black-and-white by 53% of sales increase.
Another point that will worth your consideration is branding. Whether you're learning how to brand, taking action to brand yourself or creating brand marketing courses-- doesn't matter because all of them will make you richer in 2008.
On the internet, it's almost impossible to brand yourself because the internet is way too huge. But for just internet marketing niche, this is definitely possible.
Trust me on this-- it'll get even more competitive in 2008 when new marketers are coming into the game because they have now mastered the skill of internet marketing as well. But it's always the 'players' who are at the top of their league. Ewen Chia is one of them. When he launched the Super Affiliate Inner Circle Membership, he can command many of the internet marketing giants to promote the product because he has his own brand and recognition.
I'm going to say something that you might not like to hear-- most of them are promoting because Ewen had promoted for them in the past or he'll promote for them in the future. There. Just in case if you don't like what you read, remember Sunday Email is a rant. Sometimes, it's not favorable to what you want to hear but good for you to know.
Until you have your own brand, recognition and having the ability to generate massive result, you'll be wondering why it's so hard to make the big money on the internet.
Either you like this fact or not, it's up to you. But if you were to use this fact and act upon it, you'll see yourself much richer in 2008. THAT'S MY POINT. Choice is yours. Whine about it that you don't have a brand or realize that you don't have one so that you can start creating a brand of your own. Or maybe, you're a branding expert and now you can start to develop a brand marketing course to be sold to the internet marketing community?
What do you think? Let me know your thoughts.
If you have been reading the "Sunday Email" series, I'll always ask for your favor to leave a Comment if you find value of what you've read. It'll be most appreciated because I read all of them personally. (smile)
You "Chan" Do It!

Hi Patric,
Thanks for sharing your ideas on the incoming future of internet marketing.
I'll take more action!
Take care,
Thanks for your post,
I understand that the pressure of 'Time Management' is something that sometimes can make people slightly 'un-Happy'.
The answer might be not managing your time, instead manage how you look at using your time.
* I don't tie myself up with a 'Weekly Column', not even a 'Monthly Column' although I do have a Syndicated Column, I haven't written one for a long time now, because for a while I choose to work on making my blog more attractive for my visitors.
So you can imagine how extremely Special and EXCLUSIVE my Column now has become!!!
* I don't like to work with a Business PLAN because I otherwise I might 'paint myself stuck'. I work with a BUSINESS MODEL. (although sometimes a 'Business Plan' or 'Project Plan' can be usefull if you want to work closely with 'third parties'.
* I don't work "IN" my Business I work "ON" my Business.
* I don't have any Visitors comming to my site....,O.K. only joking..., I actually have a certain flow of 'Daily Visitors' that can enjoy for example the 'Daily Items' that automatically stream on to my blog, and once in a while I do some actual postings on my blog!
Easily and steadily growing my Online Business, for example first I only had some Daily Visitors that hardly seem to be 'involved' enough to place their comments or click on any links. Than I came up with my 'Most Funny, Most Popular...,' etc. etc. and it seems to be growing.
And for what is choosing between 2 opportunities is concerned, I usually don't like to work in such a 're-active' way only responding to circumstances. (with occasional exceptions) I usually look for opportunities when I choose to look for opportunities.
* So don't feel 'time pressured' If I invite you and ask you to visit my site, you don't directly have to visit my site...,
as long as you DON'T even think about forgetting to bookmark my site!!! :)
All the Best,
HP

I try to achieve mini goals that I set myself each day, then I find I get more down.
Sometimes when I have a big "task" to complete by breaking it down I "chan do it" quicker haha.
