Not too clear, but on the left is California Fitness and on the right, Cold Stone ice-cream.

The course is a guide to generating income selling information products online.

The basic process is this.

• Identify a product on Clickbank.
• Create a landing page to collect email addresses.
• Use Pay-per-click to drive traffic to that landing page.
• Sell the product using an email autoresponder to keep contact.

I’ve identified three niches that I will test. The ultimate aim of the process above is to generate some money, but more importantly it is a tool to gauge whether there is a market for that particular product. If you don’t make any sales of the other guy’s product, then it’s quite possible that the market is not great, then you should try another product.

Not all the products work well online.

At this stage I’m working on the email autoresponder series.

This is proving very taxing on my brain. It’s getting easier, but I have to really put in a concerted effort to get them done. Writing is not my thing, especially when it’s not something I’m familiar with. But I’m pressing on.

It’s strange that I always have a little bit of doubt as to whether this is all possible. Especially after a few years of plugging away at websites that don’t generate much revenue.

I’ll report back on how things go.

You don’t always have to answer the phone, or if it’s your cellphone, you can just turn it off. What usually bugs me is phonecalls that are not returned, or where the person who you left a message with hasn’t passed it on, or some miscommunication took place.

If the person who takes the message says, “They’ll phone you later,” then they really should.

The South African liason office in Taipei actually gets this right almost all the time. There have been times before when I’ve asked them for something and they said they’d get back to me, and they did. This might seem a bit extreme, but so often people don’t return calls. So it makes a good impression.
