[NOTE TO MY EMOTIONALLY SENSITIVE, EASILY OFFENDED READERS: This Post Contains the word “Pee”. Yes, I do know the word “urinate” is much less offensive. You do not need to email me. If that offends you then you have a choice. You can either be offended and poor or read the frickin’ article and make some money.]

Do your subscribers pee all over your business?

By “pee” I mean: Complaining that you don’t provide enough free stuff, not buying products and services you recommend and not coming by nearly often enough? Are they “bad dogs”?

First, let’s get something clear:

“You Are In Business to Make a Profit”

I am surprised how many people seem to miss this simple fact. Your goal is to get people to visit your site, sure, but you want people WHO WILL BUY THINGS. Things you recommend. Things that make you money.

But your subscribers are not buying things from you. Even when you ask. Nicely. Several times.

Instead they whine, cry and pee in the corner. And you have to clean up their mess.

“You Have Poorly Trained Subscribers”

If your subscribers don’t buy when you recommend something, it’s because they are poorly trained.

Just like a dog who pees on the carpet. ANY healthy dog can be taught to NOT pee on the carpet. If your dog pees on the carpet then it has been poorly trained.

And guess what? If your subscribers love free stuff and never buy anything that costs them some coin, it is because you have poorly trained your subscribers.

“Why FREE Doesn’t Make You Money”

Don’t get me wrong, giving away some things for free is a good strategy. It can add people to your list, seducing them into giving up their email address (the real one, not the throw-away one) and their name.

But imagine Wal-Mart using this strategy.

Sam Walton looks down from his position as God’s CEO (get it, he’s dead so he’s in heaven). He decides to send out the regular weekly flyer, but instead of filling it with products he wants to sell, he fills it with products he is going to give away free this week. The stores are flooded with eager shoppers freebie seekers.

He does the same for a couple more weeks. “After all,” he reasons, “I am so popular with all these people who have been getting my free stuff that they will certainly come back and pay for the products they love.”

So this week he sends out a sales flyer with his trademark “Low, Low Prices”. The doors are opened and…

“Nobody Buys Nothin’”

I’ll bet you’re way ahead of me here, right? His visitors are conditioned to expect free stuff so they don’t buy anything. In fact, his sales actually drop after all his “goodwill freebies” because even people who used to buy things from him now expect things to be free.

Now it would be foolish for Wal-Mart to do such a thing. That’s obvious. But what about you, Einstein? Does it make sense for your business either? Yeah, I thought so.

“Here’s How to Train Your Subscribers”

First, give them something free to get them on your list. That’s actually OK as long as you do the rest of the things I am going to tell you about below.

Second, tell them you are going to sell them things before you sell them things.

Yup, tell them. Tell them you are going to “only point out the very best products for them to buy.” Remind them “of course you know I can’t give away everything for free or I’d be out of business.” (Well, that’s if you live in the US. If you live in Canada translate the “out” to “oot”.)

On Friday, June 27th you need to spend $5 to join my private membership site. There, I just did it. Unless you are extremely poor or extremely dumb you will join this site. It will cost you $5. Did I mention you need to spend $5 with me on June 27?

Third, when you actually tell them to buy something, remind them what a good guy you are–unless you’re a girl. In that case remind them of what a good gal you are. Like this:

You know how I’ve always shown you the very best resources–most of them free. Here is a tremendous resource. It’s not free, but it will make you so much money it’s worth ten times what you’re about to invest in it.

“Now Go and Do Likewise”

Now go train your doberman subscribers. Sure, it’s not instant, but put these three tips to work and they will buy from you. It will make you money.

“Now for the Good Stuff”

June 27th I am launching my new private members’ site. You will want to be a part, but you can also bring friends along. I will even pay you $215.64 for every friend you tell about the site. And you can start today.

For details go here. Do it. Now.

This article is a guest post by Aaron Abber of FullTiltBlogging.com. I am a part of Aaron’s mentoring program where he is teaching me and others how to make money blogging. Go visit the site now and grab his free report “How to Retire on 200 Visitors a Day”.

As you may know I’m taking part in Aaron abbers fulltilt blogging mentoring program, maybe some of have decided to do the same? Be nice to know if any of you are following along with Aaron and his mentoring program.

So I figured I give an update of what has been covered so far.

As a recap for those of you who have missed it, when go to his home page you’ll see a subscription box that offers you an e-book how to retire on two hundred visitors a day I’m not sure if you are aware of this but this is what is known as the magic number in the make money blogging world there’s been alot of talk about the 200 hundered visitors a day idea but I havent seen it really laid out in detail about how to do it until I grabbed this e-book. It’s free and all you have to do is subscribe to his mailing list to recieve it.

Don’t worry Aaron is’nt one of those idiots that entices you to sign up then bombards you with crap offers.

Once you sign up for his mentoring program he’ll send you a link to a webinar every monday evening, the usual time is 7 pm and there he reveals some very good blogging techniques to help you make money. Again I’ve paid for other mentoring programs and despite the fact that this is free it is definately one of the Best mentoring programs ive been part of.

Week ones content went like this:

more.

Then you’re shown how to get you’re own affiliate id for his affiliate program.

“I Do Things Differently When an affiliate sends me a visitor, I do my best to capture that visitor as a lead
and…I add your affiliate ID to the subscription.”

In other words what he is going to show how to do is what is known as lead blogging and I know for a fact that no other blogger is actually doing this or showing you how to do this with make money with blogs this way.

A big problem you will have with Getting RSS and newsletter subscribers is that many of your newsletter subscribers don’t confirm their subscription which leads to problems.

Aaron gives away an excellent script that you can put to use immediately to ensure that your subscribers are confirming their subscription so you can make sure you message is reaching everyone on your list.

Put this strategy to work and you’ll increase not only the number of subscribers but the number of confirmed subscribers as well!

As part of the blog mentoring program you’re given RSS tip and tricks an e-book thay shows you how to use a plug-in to: use your RSS feed to to make money blogging it allows you to promote your own product or an affilite product and all of things mentioned below.

Because I am part of the mentoring program I am allowed to give this RSS tips and tricks e-book away to you.

Some Ways to Use Your Improved RSS Feed
In addition to using Better Feed to offer your subscribers a free download, here are some other ways you can use it:
• Provide a password for a protected post on your blog
• Provide access to a free seminar only for subscribers
• Ask subscribers to participate in a survey
• Ask for help for a particular promotion without making your
request public on your blog
• Create an “affiliates only” feed so non-affiliates can’t “listen in.”
• Offer a daily download with a different link each day to increase
daily readership
• Offer a daily tip only to your RSS readers
• Create a cartoon or video that can only be viewed by subscribers
• Allow premium content for paying subscribers
• Offer ads in the RSS feed that don’t appear on your site
• Create a list of affiliate links at the base of your feed (or, if you’re
slick, in the midst of your articles)
• Add Google Adsense ads to your feed

Week 3 of the mentoring program also covered The infrastructure of your blogging business.

The infrastructure segment shows you:

That you You need:
• Products to sell
• A Way to Take Money

• Ways to Collect Leads
• Sources of Traffic

as well as the right way to choose a niche market which covers

• how to find JV partners in your blog niche market.
• Doing keyword research to find these partners and what problems those in your niche are trying to solves.

Both of these are very key and important factors that will determine your success or failure as a blogger. All of the webinars also come with MP3 files and PDF’s for you to refer to later.

Again as I mentioned it’s all free and as you follow along you’ll be gaining subscribers and given the opportunity to make money blogging with Aarons mentoring program

Week 4 begins tomorrow and I’ll be back with a recap of that for you.

Hey Gang !!

Sorry about the lack of posting. The past week has just been chaotic for me and my family. Last weekend our realtor called us up to say he had a house he wanted us to look at. (we’ve been looking for a while now). We put in an offer and won the bidding war !!. you’d think it would be that simple, then came all the other stuff papers, financing inspections and what not. And on top of that our trusty chrysler sebring ran into some engine problems so we decided to just buy another car. So within two days we had to buy a car and a house. Now that all the dust has settled i’m back to business here and a few other projects i am working on.

So what does this mean for you? Well as sort of a celebration, Call it an early house warming gift (I’m in a good mood because of the house and car) I’ve decided that I am going to give away the six ad spots on the right there. Not sure for how long or if this is even a good idea. But who cares.

My motto is give to get.

So what do you have to do to snatch those ad spots there. Send me your 125×125 ad and a link to your blog or website. First come first get. If more than 6 send me their ads. I’ll rotate them. So you all get even coverage.

Don’t have a 125×125 ad?

No worrys Jay over at datmoney.com does some great ad and banner work on the cheap. And I do mean cheap. Go visit this link >>> Banners done cheap to see what he does and what his rates are

Now here are some stats for you.

From my stats meter account:

From My google analytics account

My Rss Readers is as of this writing 162 people and growing daily.

So what you’re getting is:

• a site wide ad,
• Visible on all posts and pages
• 212 posts
• 31 categories
• SO what this amounts to is your ad being seen 3,487 times, thats quite a few impressions, to 2,240 people.
• To sweeten the pot for you call this an incentive, I’ll also ad your link and RSS Feed address. To my blog roll and my Blog community post

I may at some point in the future decide to charge for these so grab them while you can.

Want to pay: no problem

If you like the option of paying you’re more than welcome to do so. I only accept paypal at this point. I don’t have an automated thing for that yet. Let me know what you’d be willing to pay me to advertise, paying will guarantee you a top placement for a full month.

As well if you’re interested I am offering adspots on some of my posts that get the most traffic. These are paid spots. Open for negotiation
