Just a quick update regarding test, test, test…. I am organising an event for Alistair Cooper, which is a £15 prebooked event/training where he will offer/sell his workshop. I have sent some people who already know Alistair and who have received his free strategies (www.ThePlanningGame.com).
I wanted to know if showing the same banner before the compelling headline improves conversion or not…
Here are the results after the first day.
so here is the site with the banner:
and this is the one without:
so the result is clear, almost double the conversion with banner…. Splittesting with www.TotalBusinessCart.info is great. I have now disabled the ‘no banner site’, as I have seen enough!
a bit of a mouthful, but that’s what it is called. A long time in the making, the idea of the bootcamp was to enable people to create their own information products with ease using the tips and techniques that I used in the last few years to create ebooks, audio products and video products.
The 16 sessions included:
• 10 ways how to create content instantly from whatever you know already
• Finding your internet marketing strategy
• 21 digital product creation secrets of the masters
• 12 ways to create audio products in 10 minutes or less
• 29 tried and tested e-book creation secrets
• 36 tips and tricks from a Microsoft Word Expert
• How to research the best target market again and again within minutes of getting started
• 12 ways of selling your e-books
• The secret product creation blueprint of the gurus.
• 22 list building tips, most of them free, at no cost to you.
• How to get you’re blog to stand out and get you traffic. (RSS and subscription options)
• PodCasting. Have you heard of iPod, have you got one?
• Outsourcing Secrets of the New Rich
and many more….
We have recorded all sessions as video and camtasia and will create a monster product within the next few weeks… all the delegates walked away with tons of software to be able to achieve all the results in no time!
The next DigitalProductCreationSecrets.com Weekend Bootcamp… is on 17th and 18th May 2008 and if you are interested, send an email to sarah@secretshortcuts.com
We ended up with a edited 30 minute sales piece as DVD, download, audio and report and a salesletter and website as well.
In a new location, which I can highly recommend (Radisson Edwardian Grafton in Tottenham Court Road), we delivered another one of the intense 1 Day Workshops. 25 delegates, 11 enthusiastic helpers (thanks guys) and 3 presenters made sure the day was nothing less than a firework of ideas and action!
By 4:30 everyone had their new webbusiness up and running and some of thenew entrepreneurs were looking in amazement at the first opted-in names from their freshly started Google Adwords campaigns…
Here is a photo from the group… what concentration… magnificent.
On my way to London meeting mighty Frank Garon, initiator of the London www.InternetSuccessBootcamp.co.uk. We had a good chat and have talked about running product creation workshops together in London in 2008. I have set my targets now for next year after sitting with the accountant for a few hours yesterday.
Workshop coming up tomorrow and I will, for the first time, offer a continuancy programme to the delegates and a product creation bootcamp in January 2008. I will post on update next week.
I have also bought an imac for Sidd http://www.apple.com/imac/ !! great machine… that’s how life should be… wrote a song and had heaps of fun.
It’s Sunday morning, just getting ready to take my son to football (did you see the rugby last night btw? – awesome!) and I just got a text from Shan that his laptop has given up… so I quickly wrote a broadcast message from aweber, where we manage our contacts of www.YourNetworkingClub.com and I was once again amazed how easy it is these days to stay in touch with people, business or personal.
I then sent another message to my whole list (aprt from the 25000 dog lovers of course!) and within 10 minutes over 7000 got an email and it didn’t even cost me a bean to do that.
If you don’t already use listbuilding as part of your business strategy, no matter what business (or hobby) you are in, I urge you to include it in your skill set.
Here come a plug, but you can learn it anywhere of course! I run a 1 day seminar and a 2 day workshop where you can master this stuff with the help of my team…. www.SecretShortcuts.com
Met this vey cool dude Greg Cesar at the weekend. He uses the analogy of the Rubik’s cube… amazing…. there are literally billions of possibilities to get to the ‘completed’ rubik’s cube, but if you know the formula you can do it again and again in no time…. even with your eyes closed.
what a weekend… I have spent morning til night at the ISB, the internetsuccessbootcamp.co.uk in London and it was awesome…. somehow I was ending up more behind the scenes interviewing the gurus and do-rus than being in the room myself, but the quality of information and level of speakers was amazing. I personally have not seen or heard anything like it in the UK before. Here are some of the pics that were taken during the interviews…. (many more to come)
Armand Morin and a happy Daniel Wagner
Mike Filsame and a perplexed Daniel Wagner (’my list is about that big’)
Anik Singhal and a chipmonk-faced Daniel Wagner
Marlon Sanders and a ‘this is amazing’ Daniel Wagner
Frank Garon and a ‘you’re holding me too tight’ Daniel Wagner
I will share some more stuff from the ISB soon, but I have to get going and pack for the US. Can’t wait to land in NY… I am doing the T Harv Eker ‘train the trainer’ certification….
PS: just in case you are not sure what a Do-ru is, that’s a guru who actually does what he says! (Learned that from David Kavanagh)
when I came back from my second 1-2-1 internet marketing consulting in London last night, I went to pick up my son from footie and filmed a minute on my Nokia N95.
just a quick one… I posted my clickbank cheque for $700 odd yesterday and wanted to just update you guys on the progress…. the thing is now on autopilot. brings in a few sales everyday and makes more than it costs me and adds names to my list…. pretty cool. just what I teach on my workshop http://www.secretshortcuts.com .
here is a screenshot of one of my clickbank accounts from this morning:
ebook is now out for almost 4 weeks and I sold $2000 dollars worth of it.. every step needs to be improved, but at least it’s running. 3 wheels, not round, but we are moving.
