I am amazed with how much money people leave on the table when they sell products online.
You have to understand the concept of online real estate . Not all pages or links are created equal. I am not talking about adsense or similar. I am referring to places in your OWN network of pages that are more valuable than others.
For example, when you sell a downloadable product, naturally the person that buys the product will need to download it. So you give him a link to download the product. Lets say that’s a thank you page. Since the person has to pay before he can land on that page, only customers will see it .
So you have a page that is visited with PAYING customers. also, the timing is important here. The paying customers visit this page SOON AFTER they already paid for the product. They may even still have their credit card out. This specific page is more valuable than most other pages on your website. If you include a special discount for your other product on this thank you page, you WILL increase sales

Differentiating in the information product business
is not only crucial to our success but sometimes
it becomes mandatory. Especially whey eBay changed
their policies to not allow downloadable products
to be sold through action or buy now type listings.
Turning a digital product into a physical one
used to be something savvy marketers did to
explode their sales. Now, when it comes to ebay
we are *forced* to move that direction.
Since the ebay changed happened, I started
receiving one question over and over again:
“How do I create a CD version of my ebook”
There are many ways to do this but one of my
favorite ones is “web style” approach.
If you are familiar with creating a simple website
this will be very easy for you to follow.
The basic idea here is to create a simple website
that delivers the ebook and all associated bonuses
and put the website on a CD. Then make it so
that when the CD is inserted in the computer,
the website starts automatically.
Here are the steps:
- Create a folder on your computer that will
contain all the files that will go on the CD.
Call it: “CD folder”

After my 3 day event on June 27-29 I decided to get away
and relax a bit. Afterall teaching for 3 days straight is not
as easy as it may sound.
Anyway we went to vegas for 5 days, then on the 5th day
we decided to extend one more day since we are having fun
then 6 days turned into seven before I realized I was
“vegased out” and decided to get back to cali.
So I posted some pictures as I promised you in my previous email.
Here is a picture of the “Welcome to Nevada” Sign we saw on the
way in

The view from the room was breathtaking to say the least. With
a full front view of the “Strip” I felt was in heaven.
Reason I took that room was the promise of a “panoramic” view
through floor to ceiling windows on both walls (corner room)
Here are a few pictures I took from the room (I took these
as I was writing my last email to you)




Speaking of piggybacking on other people’s advertising. You can
take it as BIZZARE or maybe as a great business idea…

Hey everyone,
I was working with a friend to put up a bar to support the overloaded
branches of my fig tree a couple of days ago (I LOVE figs,
especially my home grown ones :), when I heard a weird
noise coming from behind a bucket that was laying around
by the fig tree…
I wasn’t sure what it was at first until my friend pushed the
bucket to the side.
We were both stunned to find this abandonned kitten
laying right there on the ground.
The vet said its like 2 weeks old and if I want to give
it up for adoption it has to be 6 weeks. So we decided
to take care of it at least until it turns 6 (weeks that is)
We are trying to figure out a name for it. (its male btw)
Please post your comment below with your name
ideas.
I know my friend Joel Comm has a dog named
Socrates so at first I was thinking on naming it “Joel”
I am still pondering with that idea…
Take a look at the pictures and let me know what
you think.
