Affiliate Summit West 2010: Las Vegas Recap Day 4 & 5

Posted by JasperP on February 4th, 2010

Day 4: Tuesday – Last day of ASW

I woke up at 2pm in the afternoon, so we just ended up eating at the Rio Buffet for awhile.

Then it was gambling for a little bit and then watched Cirque Du Soleil’s Zumanity at New York New York.

It was pretty much just about relaxing and recouperating.

Day 5: Wednesday – Aria, Gambling, and the Drive Home

The last day, we checked out and headed over to Aria to check out the architecture and stuff.  Gambled a bit of money and headed home.

The drive was kind of bad because of the crazy weather on the west coast.  It was actually snowing in the desert between Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

Anyway, that’s it for the “Affiliate Summit West 2010: Las Vegas Recap” series!  See you next year at Affiliate Summit West!

The end.

I am NOW a SUPER AFFILIATE!

Posted by JasperP on February 10th, 2009

How do i know? Well, just a few days ago, I received a box in the mail.  It was totally out of the blue, didn’t really expect it and look what I find:

I received NOT 1… NOT 2, but THREE shirts from Convert2Media.  I’m definitely ballin’ now.

And to top it off, Steve Howe sends me his personalized Convert2Media Amex Black Card for me to spend on whatever.  Check it:

Get money, Get Paid! That’s how I roll.

“I Can Accomplish Anything!”

Posted by JasperP on August 19th, 2008

I had an interesting conversation with a friend over lunch today and it kind of made me realize a few things about having the proper mindset.  I was talking to her about my business and how I promoted products and services.  She said she wished she could start a business too, but she said she’s not business minded.  I was telling her reasons why she could do it and I think she understood my point.

Now I know business is not for everyone, but I really believe if you put your mind into it, you can accomplish anything.  I knew that my friend played high school sports before and I knew how strenuous that can be.  Competing in sports is a great example of accomplishing a difficult task.  In sports, you have to tell yourself to physically compete with other players who also want to win.  You have to mentally drive yourself to exhaustion to endure the physical pain to accomplishing your goal of winning.

This relates to having a positive mindset. If you think you CAN do it, you’re right.  If you think you CAN’T do it, you’re also right.

My proposition is this: Start telling yourself you can accomplish anything.  Be a problem solver.  Ask yourself, “How do I do ______?”  Stop thinking, “I can’t do it” or “This is too hard” or “I quit”.  Once you start believing that you can accomplish anything, you can apply it to all sorts of things that don’t involve business.

• Want to learn to play a musical instrument?
• Want to play a sport?
• Want to learn how to build something?
• Want to make money online?
• Want to start a business?

Believe in what you’re doing, push through the obstacles and you’ll eventually reach your goal.  Failure is not a point at which you stop, it’s a lesson in changing your approach.

I’d love to hear stories of business or non-business accomplishments you’ve had.

What have you accomplished lately?

How To Study Your Competition With Compete.com

Posted by JasperP on June 18th, 2008

Studying your competition is a skill you should master if you want to make more money as an affiliate marketer. By understanding your competition, you can create better sites, and better copywriting to outwit your competition.

The immediate benefits are:

• It’s easier to understand the visitor since some else has already done the research.
• Headlines and other web copy has already been tested for sites with months of history.
• Web sites has already been laid out for you, just take the elements from various sources and put it all together for a highly converting site.

Now here’s a tip I use pretty much all the time when I study new niches… I hope this doesn’t bite me in the end… but I study my competitors VERY CLOSELY with compete.com…

Why do I do that? Well if a competitor has been advertising in a niche for awhile, then he’s probably profitable right?

So how do I do that? Well… let’s take a popular clickbank product like Fat Loss 4 Idiots.. I think everyone is familiar with this product right? (A VERY expensive niche by the way, which I don’t recommend for any beginner/newbie)

And I use the product name “Fat Loss 4 Idiots” as the keywords:

Now here’s my little secret… I use Compete.com to determine their history!

In the screenshot above, you can see that FatLoss4IdiotsFlaw.com has been advertising since December 2007! If you are advertising for that long and getting traffic, then he must be getting something back. It would be a waste of time to just continue trying to create more traffic for the site.

Now he might be getting traffic from other sources, but from the screenshots above, you can see that he was advertising in the #2 spot for the product keyword name! I’m guessing to be in that #2 spot, that keyword must be REALLY expensive, but at the same time it MUST be converting into sales!

At that point, I would study all the different landing pages to determine what marketing angles they are using. You can then make it better than the original sites and add your own elements make it your own. Or you can even take the best elements into one awesome landing page site!
