Welcome.
You re a Peon.
Just accept it.
There are evil gurus lurking at every corner, just waiting to take your hard-earned
money to sell you all your hopes and dreams right back to you.
So what do we do?
THE PEON S GUIDE TO RICHES FEBRUARY, 2014 2

Alright. So you re frustrated, right?
How do I know? I m not psychic or something&
(Of course, that s something a true psychic would say.)
Maybe the explanation is much more simple: I ve been where you are.
i.e. FRUSTRATED. Overwhelmed. Confused. Lost. Panicked.
Did I forget BROKE? It seems I did&
BROKE.
You stare at that Warrior Forum WSO Thread almost all-day now, it seems. Just
waiting for that perfect headline to catch you and answer all your problems.
You scroll through dozens of offers, screaming at your face, begging for your
money and clambering for your attention.
In a fit of skillful web browsing, you proceed to open up all the offers that catch
your eye in separate tabs for organized reading of the delicious tantalizing sales
copy.
Before you know it, you ve dropped about $21 and purchased 3 new courses. (we all
know the Warrior Forum is $7.00 product world. Come on.) So you got one course
on  $250/Day CPA Marketing, One for Facebook Ads and another for some
sketchy Ponzi Scheme.
You re pretty sure it s the Empower Network. But you bought it in case it s not.
It s okay though! Because just downloading them feels good. In fact, it may be just
enough to download them.
THE PEON S GUIDE TO RICHES FEBRUARY, 2014 3

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WWW.LONEVIKING.COM
Yeah. That s all I need. I m satisfied. Suddenly I feel like I ll make $40,000
tomorrow.
The funny thing is& you did this last week too.
And it definitely didn t result in $40,000.
But today is different. You ve downloaded free WSO s before. They all seemed
 interesting and you weren t 100% POSITIVE that the author wrote it to truly
benefit people.
(
But you gave it a shot anyway. Only to be let down. Several times.
You re well aware that once you enter your email, you re likely to get sucked into a
funnel no, a whirlwind of product offers, testimonials and  just-kidding, we
didn t really close the offer, you can buy it still if you hurry pitches.
Well, here s to this being your last-ever Free WSO Download.
(that is, until you decide to further your education and BUILD your success)
Right now, you may be thinking to yourself,  Hurry up man, I have another WSO
to go read.
No. Kick that thought s ass right now. FOCUS. What you re about to read works
for me and in fact, it s exactly what I m doing RIGHT NOW.
What s in this guide WILL work for you.
The only question left is&
Will you work for you?
Let s get started.
THE PEON S GUIDE TO RICHES FEBRUARY, 2014 4

What The Heck Are We Doing?
I ll tell you. But first, you have to promise that you won t close this guide in a fit of
 I ve seen this before frustration.
Because the fact is, if you ve seen this before, why aren t you doing it? It works.
Very well, in fact& And I promise you that if you follow the knowledge in this
guide, you ll make it work for you too.
How would you like to start seeing a humble $25 to $50 per day start
entering your PayPal starting as soon as tomorrow morning?
Hell, wouldn t a daily $15 start to get you excited?
It s not likely to just stay at that level.
It starts small, but it builds. The point is, YES You can make money within 24
hours. (if you hustle)
But the other point is, NO That s not ALL the money you can make. So when
you start making money but it s not $400 in 48 hours, don t get discouraged.
This is a business you build. You grow it, you nurture it and you treat it well.
You treat the people in it with respect and love and they will respect you and love
you too. It s really a win-win for everyone in the end.
So what is this business model?
There are many names for it, but it naturally rolls of my tongue in the form of
 List Building.
THE PEON S GUIDE TO RICHES FEBRUARY, 2014 5

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WWW.LONEVIKING.COM
It s likely that you already know what List Building is. So I won t bore you to tears
like I did on the last 5 pages.
But if not, here s the gist: List Building is the process by which you collect email
addresses for the purpose of helping others and making money simultaneously.
BOOM. That s your new business model.
Sounds awesome right? Help people AND make money?! Like freaking Robin
Hood?!
Yep. Like freaking Robin Hood.
So you re probably staring at this guide right now thinking,  Frick. FRICK! List
Building?! I SUCK at list building.
I believe you. Because anyone who doesn t own a list, in my opinion, currently
sucks at list building.
But remember, EVERYONE sucks at the thing they ve just now decided they want
to learn.
I once sucked at rock climbing. I once sucked at list building. I once sucked at all
kinds of sucky things. But I got better.
That s the point. So let s go. I know I talk a lot. But it entertains me. If you don t
like it, scroll down to where the  meat starts on page 7.

Getting Started (The Meat)
So how are we going to go about this?
(
Well, I hate working hard. Seriously. So I like to find the easiest ways to do shi
stuff.
For one, and you may get angry at me for this&
The Warrior Forum! Did you know that what I m doing RIGHT NOW is actually
what I m teaching in this guide?
Easy List Building from simple Free WSO s. And yes, I WILL be emailing you
affiliate offers. Come on, I won t insult your intelligence and pretend like I m not
going to do that.
Why would I want to build a list if I don t intend to use it to help me survive?
Isn t that why you want to have one?
I just intend on doing it ( it being, affiliate promotions) in a more& civilized
manner. Which you ll also learn in this  Toootally Freee, Duuuude! Guide.
By now, you probably have a good idea of how we re going to go about this.
In case you don t, here s a pretty and colorful little mindmap I had fun exercising
my ADD with:

Make sense?
Great! Now get started.
Thanks for reading!
Not really& this is just the start. I understand that this mindmap may only make
sense to one mind (my own). But I ll try to explain.
Start at the top.  You are here.
Begin moving down, following the lime green line.
That s the  vehicle you ll be using to  get there,  There being, where you want
to be& i.e. Whatever your goal is.
The orange line leads there.
For this example, we re using the typical $100 per day goal.
To be totally honest, this is really easy to achieve. In Warrior Forum standards, it s
going to be about 10 sales on average to get $100.
If you want to earn $100 per day, and NOT be killing your list, it may be that
you ll have to earn $200 every OTHER day. Which means about 20 sales on
average.
But both these numbers are easy to achieve. You can do so quite quickly!
THE PEON S GUIDE TO RICHES FEBRUARY, 2014 9

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WWW.LONEVIKING.COM
The First Thing(s) You Need&
So you want to build a list and make $100 per day.
Great!
You re going to need a few things first. Be sure before starting this guide that you
have some form of the following:
1. A domain name or web property you have control over. ($1 to $14)
1.1.This is going to give you some extra  respect from your new list and even
add to your conversion rate, believe it or not.(
(
But that s not the main reason we need it. You want some kind of web
property that you can add an opt-in form to and preferably, to be able to
add HTML, Wordpress, etc.(
(
Weebly MIGHT work, but if you re really in so much of a pinch that you
can t purchase a domain, well& it s your life. But I wouldn t be trying to
start a business while I had 50 cents to my name.
2. An Auto Responder. ($1 for the first month)
2.1. Do I need to go into why this is necessary? You want to build a list don t
you? Don t even question it. You need this. Like. NEED this.(
2.2. If you can t decide, I ve done so for you. Aweber is always a good choice.
3. Hosting. For your domain. ($5 per month)
3.1.This is also kind of a given. If you have a domain and no hosting, that s like
buying a house that s not even built yet.(
(
You need the real estate, to PLACE your house on. Hosting is the land you
build your house (website) on.(
THE PEON S GUIDE TO RICHES FEBRUARY, 2014 10

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WWW.LONEVIKING.COM
4. An Account on the Warrior Forum. ($40 for War Room membership)
4.1. This is what will allow you to get a sh*t ton of visitors without really doing
much of anything (kind of like the gurus always brag about).
4.2. You may not realize it, but the Warrior Forum is a MASSIVE source for
traffic in the IM niche.
How you go about attaining the above, I really could care less about. There are
countless free tutorials out there that provide info on accumulating such ingredients
to a wealth-maker s arsenal.
Yeah, I just called you a wealth-maker. Soak it up.
Once you have all these things, you can get started. For most readers, you re
already set. The day I bought a domain name and auto responder, I never NOT
had one.
In fact, I own like 100 domains to this day. Overkill. Definitely. Because most of
them, I m not even using yet.
I digress.
What s next?
THE PEON S GUIDE TO RICHES FEBRUARY, 2014 11

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WWW.LONEVIKING.COM
YOU. And YOUR Knowledge.
Don t even tell me you don t know anything about marketing. How many products
have you bought? How much information could you tell your good friend when it
comes to marketing?
I am POSITIVE you know much more than you re letting yourself believe.
And it is THIS knowledge that you re going to tap.
Please don t go the PLR route. We re really trying to provide QUALITY
information for our new subscribers here. Even if they don t  know you rehashed
a PLR product, it shows& because usually, the method never even works.
Do you have any experiences in the IM world? Do you have any lessons you
learned? Have you recently discovered some tools that would benefit a lot of
people? Even if som of them are paid tools? (affiliate commissions?!)
Hell, you could write a motivational ebook on successful mindset for all I care.
People WILL enter their email.
Why? Because they re hungry. Hungry for an answer& what answer?
The answer YOU promised to give them. So, don t doubt yourself.
However, I do realize there are people reading this right this very moment (creepy)
who have no idea what I m even talking about. For you? I m going to recommend
browsing some marketing forums.
What good will this do you?
THE PEON S GUIDE TO RICHES FEBRUARY, 2014 12

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WWW.LONEVIKING.COM
Simple. You need some KNOWLEDGE. Because what s for sale on the Warrior
Forum?
You got it. KNOWLEDGE. And once you have some of it, you can start selling it.
People will pay different amounts of money for different types of knowledge, so
choose wisely. Make sure you choose something that people would pay money to
hear or learn.
This usually makes a free offer a total no-brainer.
Look around in the tips and tricks section. Your free product doesn t even have to
be anything crazy.
Would you download an ebook with  7 tips that guarantee you get any guru s
attention, no matter what?
Of course you would. And if you wouldn t then you must already know how. How
hard would it be to scrape 7 tips together on approaching the big dogs?
You d be surprised how many people get this wrong!
The point is here, be creative, use your MIND (it s more powerful than you think)
and put something together.
Most of all remember, it s FREE. People are going to be STOKED if your
information is even remotely interesting or informative. So don t be too hard on
yourself. Cool? Cool.
Remember, there are NO major rules here besides what I just mentioned, so please,
do not get stuck in analysis paralysis. You could spin your wheels all day asking
 what if, and  what about. Just don t. Keep moving forward.

Next: WSO Thread. Sh*t. Sales
Copy. Crap. Frick. Damn.
I Quit.
Did you read  sales copy and think  Shoot. I can t do that?
Well sheesh, no wonder you can t do it! You don t even believe you can!
What if I told you that the difference between you writing good copy and you
writing bad copy, is just your brain?
I always believed I write good copy. In fact, my FIRST EVER product on the
Warrior Forum (EpicWin Facebook) was a smash-hit.
That copy was my first attempt and it ended up converting quite nicely if I
remember. We did over $20k in Revenue.
Look, friend.
You ve probably read enough sales copy in your  IM Career to last us both
through some top-quality Harvard Sales Copy education.
The only reason you don t believe that it was education is because you don t see it
that way. But in reality, your subconscious has picked up on the flow of sales copy
and exactly how it works.
That s why my first shot at copy was actually quite good. I had simply called upon
that old experience of 3+ years of reading and experiencing sleazy ClickBank sales
copy for all that it is meant to do, and applied it.
THE PEON S GUIDE TO RICHES FEBRUARY, 2014 14

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WWW.LONEVIKING.COM
All this, subconsciously of course. If you were to ask me at the time, I d tell you I
was just  wingin it.
And you know what? There is absolutely nothing wrong with  wingin it. That s
how you learn.
Here s our quick crash-course in sales copy, so that we can insure you have
at least some form of structure and flow to your offer page. Because without it&
well, you re screwed. You ll still get emails, but not nearly as many as you could get
when you really put persuasion into practice.
The good thing is, Warrior Forum traffic is REALLY easy to convert. So you ll feel
really good about your abilities when you get this going yourself.
So when you go to write it, just remember this one anagram: AIDA
A - Attention
This is where you ll use a headline. You want to grab your readers interest(
and really HOOK them the moment they see your page. Because you only(
have about 3 seconds.
I - Interest
This is usually the body of your copy. Testimonials usually aid in this part.(
Get them interested in what it is you have to offer. Show benefits, examples(
and screenshots.(
D - Desire
Help them to know they can do it too. Once you help them understand that
these results are attainable by THEM too, you re golden. When they can see
themselves actually using your product to achieve their goals, walls start
coming down.
A - Action
The final  step your reader will take in the  sales copy journey of
persuasion. This is where you get them to take some form of action.
Whether it s to  opt-in right there or  click the link below to get started or
THE PEON S GUIDE TO RICHES FEBRUARY, 2014 15

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WWW.LONEVIKING.COM
 buy now! You name it, this is where you get your reader to finally  bite the
bullet and do what you ve been convincing them they want to do.
This is the basic  flow, if you will, of sales copy.
And because you ve got a free offer on the Warrior Forum, your copy won t have to
be majorly special to convert your visitors.
But if you can remember this one anagram while you do your IM  stuff, you ll do
very well.
Remember AIDA in your emails. Remember AIDA as you write for your future
paid products. Remember AIDA when you re closing that deal with the guy at the
car lot. (seriously lol)
It s a powerful set of 4 letters and will always  aid you in writing better copy. ;)
But I m Not A Designer!!!
I hate to be a dick (actually I quite enjoy it)& but so what? Who said anything
about design? Look. If you REALLY want an ebook cover for your product or
whatever, head to fiverr. $5.00 gets you a SWEET ebook cover.
Alternatively, you could hire me. But I charge way more.
I d stop there though. You don t NEED to invest either time or money into
 designing your copy. The Warrior Forum has plenty of tools in their thread to
make your copy styled quite nicely actually.
Just remember, for headlines, use Impact and for body, use Tahoma. A nice
 different color on the headline (dark blue) and body (dark grey) will help freshen
it up a bit too. Clever use of margins and indents will also give it a more crisp feel.
THE PEON S GUIDE TO RICHES FEBRUARY, 2014 16

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WWW.LONEVIKING.COM
I wont lie though, having a good design on your sales page will definitely boost
conversions as long as it isn t too distracting.
If you can t handle that kind of investment right now though, seriously don t even
worry about it. I ve seen some great offers convert amazingly well off just the
Warrior Forum s BB Code alone.
Don t sweat it. You saw my page. It s not über-special. But it converts.
What s next? Mmmmmm the gross part. Squeeze pages. Nasty.
THE PEON S GUIDE TO RICHES FEBRUARY, 2014 17

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WWW.LONEVIKING.COM
TIME TO SQUEEEEEZE!
I know I spelled squeeze wrong.
Just needed to get that out of the way.
So. Squeeze page. Now, this is a little bit different. Because first of all, you already
sold them. If they click on the link to get to your squeeze page from the Warrior
Forum, you re pretty much golden.
To make SURE you don t lose too many of them though, have a solid headline, re-
stating what your WSO thread page stated.
In our example case, it would be  7 Tips That Guarantee The Attention of The
Gurus!
From there, add a few key bullet points to sure-up and solidify the copy they just
read. Insure everything is ABOVE the fold, so there should be zero scrolling
necessary.
 What does  above the fold mean?
That just simply means that everything appears above the  cutoff  of your
browser.
(
So if you visit a website that is ALL above the fold, there would be no scroll-bar. All
the content could be read without having to move the page up or down.
This is your goal.
Okay, so we ve already been talking about Squeeze Pages as if you have zero
problem with producing one.
THE PEON S GUIDE TO RICHES FEBRUARY, 2014 18

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WWW.LONEVIKING.COM
So. The question now becomes, how can we get a squeeze page up and running
that will do a decent job at converting our visitors?
Ideally, we should be able to customize just about any crucial piece:
" Location of the opt-in form.
" Button on the opt-in form.
" Headline size, color.
" Bullet styling, font size.
" Page background.
" Etc.
If these are our minimum criteria, we can set out to begin looking. I know not
many people are super code-savvy, so ideally, we will want to find a  drag & drop
or  wizard platform that can help us build our squeeze page.
You may or may not already have this part covered with your own solution.
For those that do not, here are a few free (upgradable by pay) solutions for you:
(somewhat) FREE Squeeze Page Builders
1. Squeeze Page Creator (probably your best choice)
2. Instant Squeeze Page Generator (about equal to above
3. Optimizely (a very fascinating tool - gotta see it to believe it)
4. Weebly Squeeze Page Builder (an O.K. option if you re desperate)
Premium (Paid) Squeeze Page Builders
1. LeadPages (A VERY Powerful Squeeze/Sales Page Builder)
2. OptimizePress (Yet ANOTHER Extremely Powerful Page Builder)
3. EpicSqueeze (Juan Morales put this out. Solid guy. Solid tool.)
4. LeadRocket (Anthony Aires Squeeze Page Solution)
THE PEON S GUIDE TO RICHES FEBRUARY, 2014 19

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WWW.LONEVIKING.COM
 Which one do YOU use, Travis?
Ah! Good question. I personally always use OptimizePress.
They re Pricy! But if you re at a place where you need some more functionality and
you re not worried about spending money to make MORE money, this is the tool
for you, hands-down.
I ve been wanting to test out Lead Pages too, but I m a bit busy for it at the
moment.
You ll also be confused to find that none of the links above are affiliate links.
This is usually against my Marketing Rules.
But for this once, I wanted to truly offer up something where no one can question
who the value is intended for.
Whenever I see an affiliate link in a free guide, I close it. Because something in me
tells me,  Wow, clever. I got this free guide but you ll probably make $17 off this
sale if I buy off your link.
And it IS clever! It s good to do, too. So in this case, do as I say, not as I do. I just
don t want to turn you off to the method I m sharing in this guide, because it
TRULY works.
NEXT!

The Download Page
This is your first  money page in your  funnel.
The download page is special. While it may not fascinate you that this is where
people download your product, there is a lot more value in a download page than a
lot of people realize.
Where you re not giving your subscribers access to your product, you could be
giving them little nudges and winks in their peripheral to oh, I donno& click a
banner that will help them enhance whatever free product it is that you re dishing
out.
Banners on the right, left and bottom do pretty well. Especially if you write
 BONUS! in big red letters near or around them.
Usually though, people like to get Bonuses for free. So be careful with that one if
you re wanting to get affiliate commissions.
(
Other words that work are triggers like,  Exclusive!  For YOUR Eyes Only! etc.
These banners could literally be affiliate links to anything. I highly recommend
taking the time to find a good, solid product that you re going to feel good about
giving to your new list and that provides enhancing value on your free product.
Basically, it shouldn t distract, but add to, what you re already teaching them.
No one likes a bonus section full of Facebook Marketing and Tweets when they just
bought a product on CPA (cost per action) Marketing. It makes us feel like what we
already bought is of little, to no value.
So word of the day for the download page? ENHANCE! Like the blue pill. Or not.
THE PEON S GUIDE TO RICHES FEBRUARY, 2014 21

Email Time.
So. We got the email. They got their free product. Maybe they even bought one of
the products from the download page affiliate links. Now what?
Well, now your email list is building.
So start writing!
Your first email, obviously, should contain a link to download the product they
decided to opt-in for. That s important.
Along with this, maybe have some extra pointers that will help them to get a better
grasp and gain some confidence for what they re about to start learning.
After your first email, wait a day.
Your next email to them should be encouraging. Ask them how they re doing with
the free guide.
Maybe even give them ANOTHER free gift that complements the product they re
reading, just to make sure they really know that you love their every
molecule.
It doesn t seem like much, but what we did here with only 2 emails, is build a
MASSIVE amount of what I like to call  soft spot space in their minds, where,
nestled neatly and cozily in their subconscious, is an action figure image of our
glorious face as the hero.
Now, when they see your name in their inbox, their heart skips a beat and they get
stoked to read another email from you, because so far, all they have experienced is
nothing short of amazing.

That s about 24 hours. Email 1 was sent the moment they signed up and the clock
began ticking. 24 hours later, they received Email #2 and got STOKED.
What you do next is really up to you. But I have some guidance for you, depending
on the road you decide to take.
Day 2:
48 hours in, or 3 emails in, you can decide to soft-pitch a product, hard-pitch a
product (like some kind of emergency) or just keep massaging their warm and
happy hearts. It s your choice!
The Soft-Pitch Road:
Invent some kind of  lesson in your mind. Be sure, obviously, to have an affiliate
link ready, and to know which product you re promoting the next day.
Think of a way you can tie in some useful piece of information with the product
you re about to pitch to them. For example, let s say your free product was on how
to get 1,000 fans in 1 week.
That s great!
Now you decide, you want to offer a Facebook marketing product on Facebook
Ads. That s also great! Your subscribers will appreciate the recommendation.
But don t be a sleaze, please. (that rhymes lol)
If you genuinely want to help them succeed, then genuinely help them! You don t
have to write tantalizing, disgusting emails with unbelievable sky-high claims like
freaking Phil Mansour or something.
And you definitely don t need to write 1-liner emails.
THE PEON S GUIDE TO RICHES FEBRUARY, 2014 23

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WWW.LONEVIKING.COM
Granted, it works. And if you want to, in the end, it s your business and your
subscribers on the line. You will make more money, faster. But they won t last long
at that rate.
So on the soft-pitch road, you have your Facebook Ads product&
So your soft-pitch email is going to look something like&  I didn t always have
5,264 fans on my fan page& In fact, I built it up to about 3,000 fans within a
couple weeks. But where I really started seeing my results skyrocket, was when I
began using Facebook Ads& .
etc, etc.
Now they see,  Oh, there s something out there that can enhance my results!
Maybe it s worth looking at& 
BUT! Where the massive conversion rate comes in is where you introduce the cliff-
hanger.
This is the Achilles heel of the soft-pitch (pre-sell) email.
Get this wrong and well& just forget it.
This is how it works. You drive up the desire (remember AIDA) in your soft-pitch
email. They re ready to click the link and stoked to find out how they can boost
their results by 500% over night& but wait. There s no link!
Instead, you say something like,  More on this tomorrow& keep your eyes peeled
at (insert time) sharp! I ll be spilling it ALL just for you.
(
Or something to that effect. This, is the essence of the soft-pitch email. And it
works wonders. In fact, from extensive testing, I ve concluded that this email pitch
style works the BEST.

The Hard Pitch Road
Alrighty. Let s say you re just impatient and cannot wait to see that first conversion
come in. It s entirely possible!
Just because I m telling you of a certain way that would be most effective in my
own opinion, doesn t mean that you have to stick to my old worn out, beaten path.
Where innovation and new ideas come is when people start venturing out into the
wild bush where the unknown awaits.
So what s the hard pitch?
The hard pitch is where you basically have a product that you want to show to your
list and there s no warm-up. It s kind of like A.D.H.D. marketing&
 OH!! Look what I found 5 minutes ago that you will probably like!
That s basically what it looks like to your subscriber. Now look, subscribers aren t
stupid. So don t treat them like they are. They have brains too. They re real, actual
people somewhere else on this planet.
They re not JUST an email address. In fact, I d say the email address is just
.00000000000000000000001% of the person you are emailing.
So what I m trying to say is, if you find a product 5 minutes ago that you feel would
be a good fit for your list, don t insult their intelligence by saying  I tested this out
and made $15,000 in 3 days!! You can too, just click the link!
Come on. Really? You have to be in a dream state to really believe that.

Yet, I see it every day. In fact, here s a real email that I ll screenshot from my email

See that headline?!  Copy This & Bank $153,223.33
WHAT THE F***?!
Do you really expect me to believe this? Do you realize how much money $153,223
is?!
It s not that I don t believe that anyone can make $153,000& I know that s
possible. Bill gates is a multi-billionaire.
But that I can  copy this and make 6 figures? And then you go on to tell me that I
can make $17,234 in 6 days?
Okay, first of all, I KNOW this is a fabricated number. Notice the  234 after the
 $17, & this is a common habit for people trying to come up with a random high
number.

Their fingers will naturally do what I call a  roll.
Thus, the  234.
Seems legit, bro. Seems legit.
I have one last question for you& would you be sending emails trying to get
commissions for an affiliate product if you made $17,000 in 6 days?
Now, to the person who sent this, you know who you are. And you may be reading
this guide right now. I have no stinking clue.
I make no apology. What can I say? You wrote a perfect example email for this
section.
If you re reading this& well, seriously& stop emailing like this. It s really sleazy
and you re killing your subs, bro. You may THINK it works, because you still get
sales. But I guarantee if you put some more HEART into your emails, you ll boost
your conversion rate by probably double what you re doing now.
Be a HUMAN to the HUMANS you re emailing to and watch as your business
doubles, triples or even quadruples.
Why do people have such a hard time on phone support with robots?
 I just can t seem to get a hold of a human anymore.
So why are we surprised when our world of automation and quick fixes end up
actually pissing people off more than helping them? We re humans and we want
humans to interact with.
Okay, so back on track. Apologies for the box of soap.

A hard pitch email is a one-off email in which your goal is to get sales from this
ONE email. And possibly a second the next day. This can really wear out your
subscribers though, so don t get in a major habit of doing it.
So what are best practices for this type of email?
Well, it can go in the form of a hybrid& where you write just a fluffy, cute email
that is designed to make them feel good and then add a little  P.S. at the bottom to
tell them about it&
Or, you can tie in the product with a lesson in your email.
I ve even noticed that offering a free product for your list to download, where in
the end, it recommends the paid product, can be quite effective.
They get a free product with some nice little tips and tricks and at the end, if they
feel stoked, they ll probably buy what s in it if it enhances what you already taught
them.
Then you make a commission. See?
Affiliate marketing doesn t have to be a sketchy 1-way street. It is actually possible
to help people and make money in the process. It just requires a little more
thought.
Sweet beans? Okay. Good beans. Cool beans.
Let s move on. Because we re done. Now just some final words and we ll have you
on your way!

You re NOT A Pro (Yet)
You re stoked. You have some email leads coming in and it s been a day or 2 since
you posted your free product.
You prepared a perfectly crafted email and took a deep breath as you hit the
 send button.
Time seems to sneak by at a snail s pace while you bounce your leg on your office
floor, refreshing your PayPal to see some commissions rolling in.
5 minutes pass& then 10& 15 minutes&
1 hour later and you only have one sale.
What s the deal? Travis said I could start making $50 to $100 per day with this. I
only made $8 bucks. What a trickster!
Now, before you get too upset and frustrated& take a deep breath. Remind
yourself. You have been at this for 2 days. And you probably invested 6 to 12 hours
into it so far collectively.
If I were you, I d be celebrating. Because do you know what that $8.00 means?
That $8.00 now means  You re a Wizard, Harry! Well& sort of.
You can now CREATE money out of thin air. Like a freaking WIZARD!
You just proved to yourself that you can do it. So what s stopping you from doing it
again? And again and again&

I ll tell you what. NOTHING except your own mind.
I ll tell you something, friend& in my journey to earning a living from the power
of the web, the most unexpected lessons came my way.
The things you discover that this journey is REALLY about will change your life.
You see, it s not about making a bunch of money really fast on the internet. It s not
about learning new technology and coming up with new systems to milk more cash
out of your customers.
It s actually all about YOU.
As you move forward and progress in this line of work, you ll start discovering
things about yourself that you would have NEVER even guessed in the past.
You ll learn things of your own mind and subconscious habits that have kept you
from success.
You ll slowly start discovering that it s not the systems that don t work, but rather,
your own fear of becoming successful. Your own attachment to the  struggle and
the  chase.
Not sure? Let s talk on Skype.
I guarantee that anyone I talk to on Skype, I can find out if they love struggling or
if they are genuinely trying to change their lives. It may sound crazy&
But most of us deep down, actually truly enjoy struggling. We even enjoy being
miserable as a result of the struggle.

Of course, our conscious mind will outright deny this accusation and will even get
you to believe that it s not true! Because how can anyone in their right mind even
remotely enjoy struggling to make ends meet?
I ll tell you how.
It s comfortable. How familiar are you with struggling?
How well do you understand what it s like to be in a struggle?
How good are you at  just getting by?
If you start asking yourself these things, you ll be surprised to slowly come to
realize that your answers are spookily in alignment with a  professional struggler.
You re GOOD at struggling! You know how to make that $1,000 last all month
long. You know how to stay at home and cook ramen instead of going out to eat.
You have mastered taking the 2 minute shower to cut back on the water bill.
You have trained your mind to turn off all the lights as you don t use them& to
cook more foods with one stove top to get the most of that gas flame.
Heck, the media even tells you it s good to struggle! Look at super heroes. They are
the  Good People of this earth and yet many of them live in poor conditions.
Check out Spider Man& he has some crappy studio apartment next to the subway
that shakes everything every time it goes by.
So, remember as you pursue this goal of financial freedom from the power of the
web& that you be nice to yourself. Don t be so quick to take things at face value.
When you fail, try it again. When you KIND OF fail, do it again even better. When
you get a tiny success, do it again with more success.
When you get a massive success, do what you did to get that success again.
