1. How Dan applies Zipf's principle to affiliate training
=========================================================

If you already know affiliate marketing is a good idea, but you're too busy and there seems to be too much to learn and do, then here's a really good option to consider...

Super affiliate Dan Ho is launching new affiliate training in which he'll make it as easy as possible for you. 

Here's what Dan will do...


  * Pick an affiliate product for you to promote (a good one that produces residual income).
 
  * Do the keyword research.
 
  * Provide tips, suggestions and keyword research via his email newsletter.
 
  * Provide training via weekly teleconferences. If you miss a call, that won't matter because they'll all be recorded, so you can easily catch up.

  * Answer questions and help you on a private members' forum - no extra charge.

  * OPTIONAL EXTRA: Dan is even offering to build your website for you, if you want him to. That will include high quality artwork done by Dan's partner, writing the presell content for the site, putting your unique affiliate links into your site, maintaining or upgrading links and content over time, and putting in the Google Adsense code if you go that route.
 

I don't think anyone anywhere is offering to do so much for affiliates to make sure they succeed.

You can sign up here...

I first learned about Dan back in 2005, when Dan, Phil Wiley, and I were interviewed for a book (no longer on sale) about niche websites. In those days, Dan was already earning a five-figure monthly income as an affiliate, working about 20 hours a week.

He places a lot of emphasis on choosing a profitable niche and choosing the best keywords or keyterms in that niche.

Dan's smart. Before he became an affiliate, he traded the markets full-time for several years. He also has a clear, easy to understand writing style, so he's a good person to learn from.

He has plenty of solid experience, including four years as an SBI certified webmaster. (He also uses other web building tools.)

As well as Internet marketing, he's been doing real estate investing with a friend, Adam, who's the creator of a real estate course and speaks at clubs. That's how Dan met his first students - and also how he learned some lessons the hard way.

"It seemed everywhere I went, when the people I spoke with learned about what I did for a living - even at real estate investment clubs - they were fascinated and intrigued by Internet marketing, working at home, and building a passive income," Dan told me.
 
So he started training some of Adam's students via a newsletter and weekly phone calls.
 
At first the training was fairly typical: "Here's how I succeeded, these are the tools I use, go out and buy them, etc.," Dan says.

However, at first, only ONE student had any real success.
 
"Around this time I was reading a real estate book by George Ross, Donald Trump's attorney and advisor who appears in the show The Apprentice. George made a very interesting point that stuck with me. He called it Zipf's principle, which simply states that the more work you do to make a deal come together, the more likely you will pull off the deal..."
 
George used this point to illustrate how Donald Trump completed many large deals because he volunteered to do the vast majority of the work for all parties involved, and since the parties wanted the deals completed with the least amount of effort on their part, it often worked.
 
"Now, taking this back to what I do. After I realized that people really weren't succeeding even though I was giving them good advice, and telling them to buy this keyterm research tool, or this software (SBI or XSitePro), and so on and so forth, a lot of people are just not self-directed and were daunted by putting all the pieces of the puzzle together by themselves," Dan says.
 
"So then I had an epiphany. I decided to incorporate Zipf's principle. On one of the training calls, I candidly asked who would be interested in building a passive income from home if I did most of the work for you. For example, I did all the keyterm research for you; if I chose the affiliate programs we were to promote for you because I knew they are good and knew how to effectively promote them; that I told you exactly how to write articles (such as those submitted to EzineArticles.com); that I even built and hosted the minisite/presell site for you.
 
"I said, I would do it all for them such that the only effort they really had to expend was to actually CREATE the content or hire someone to create the content.

"Everybody got excited. At this point we had about 25 people on the weekly training calls and literally 20 of them signed up, just like that. So I felt like I had hit on something had people wanted - least amount of effort expended on their part, being truly held by the hand."

Then the testing phase started. Dan was convinced he could get these students making money.

"I started off promoting a company called Aquasana, which sells water purification systems, and which is listed in your LifetimeCommissions.com site. I knew the company had great products and there was a passive element to the program as well.
 
"I had a discussion with the Vice President of the company that I was confident now that I could take COMPLETE newbies and actually have them making sales in short order because I was doing most of the work for them.
 
"He was skeptical, of course, but he wished me well. Well, it's only been a couple of weeks and students are ALREADY making sales. These are people who knew nothing about Internet marketing and thought they would never make a sale online for anything.
 
"I then wrote the VP of Aquasana back and said, 'Go check, this student of mine already made a sale.' Needless to say he was pretty impressed..."
 
Dan says that what he's offering is unique.

"This isn't just some new membership forum. I am training these people on teleconference/telephone once a week. I think the results are a lot better because I'm interacting with the students intimately. They also get to hear the excitement from the other members who are also on the call each week and hear about the sales they are making.
 
"And, of course, I also train them partly in my newsletter (I send out the keyterms that I research for them and other tips and suggestions).
 
"The second part that makes this unique, of course, is that I am doing most of the work for them (at least the marketing part) and they literally just create the content under my directions.
 
"In short, there is nothing left to chance for the students: I do keyterms, create their sites if need be, pick the affiliate programs, tell them how to write the articles, or how to hire freelance writers ... and all that's left for them is the responsibility of the actual content or overseeing the freelance writer. I am even literally finding the freelance writers myself for some of the students."
 
As Dan says, his training won't appeal to experts and those already making good money online.

"But for all those people who aren't at that level of success, and get glassy eyed at the thought of doing all the work themselves after reading an ebook, or even just a membership site, this, I firmly believe, will be exactly what they are looking for."
 
Dan says one limitation with the program is that it's probably going to interest only people who are in the US or Canada because the weekly calls are a US number. He doubts that people are going to want to dial overseas to be on it. (However, all calls will be recorded and made available to anyone who missed them.)
 
"Also, do keep in mind that we will be charging extra for students who want us to build the site for them. We will have to roll in domain registration and hosting fees into that cost, but we will keep it very reasonable.

"I am excited and convinced that this service is just the thing a lot of people are looking for ... and that, more importantly, people who follow through on their part of it (content creation) will be very happy with their results over time," Dan says.

At this stage, this offer is just for readers of the Associate Programs Newsletter. If enough of you join, Dan won't offer this training anywhere else.

"In a real way, if it weren't for you, Allan, I wouldn't be where I am today," Dan told me.

"I learned of SBI through your site many years ago and that was the pivotal moment that led up to everything I've accomplished in Internet marketing. I might have told you this years ago, but it bears repeating. I went on to personally train a close friend of mine who at the time was about to lose his job and now makes $300k at home per year, the vast majority from passive income affiliate programs. So, it's funny how a little action some years back can lead to a snowball effect that changes other people's lives in the way it has. And I hope this service I'm offering changes the lives of many more people to come."

Numbers will be limited. As you can imagine, with this sort of intensive help, Dan has to put a limit on the number accepted.

Hi Allan and Don,
Dan Ho's new training looks pretty interesting but I have one primary concern with it. His sales letter says he will likely limit membership to 200-300 people max. I see that many people as problematic and here is why.
Let's say only 100 people join up. They will all be promoting the same affiliate program, using the same keywords. I realize each person will be producing their own unique content, and that is good. But the majority (90%) of those hundred people will never rank on the first page of a search engine like Google, because there are only 10 listings there. It is an interesting training concept but it creates instant competition among all the members. Of course my concern mainly applies to ranking naturally in the search engines, and not so much with other forms of site promotion like PPC, social marketing, etc. I'd love to hear Allan and Don address my competition concern.
Thanks,
Russell

[You make some valid points. One thing to remember is that well constructed websites are found not just for the key phrases they target, but also for a large number of other, unpredictable word combinations which people type into search engines. Google has told us that more than 50% of searches are for entirely NEW word combinations which have never been searched for before. That's an astounding statistic which helps website owners. Also, a sad fact is that when people buy a product a very small proportion of them actually DO anything with it. I once went to seminar where the speaker, who had given hundreds of talks, estimated that 1% of those listening would actually take his advice and start an Internet business. Even with Dan's expert encouragement, I suspect you won't have as many determined competitors as you fear. Allan.]
Comment #2 (Posted by Dan Ho) |
Hi Russell,

Thanks for your comments. Let me answer them briefly.

First, in my capacity as a certified SBI webmaster for years, the very question you asked has been asked by numerous clients over the years.

Their question was simple: I want to get into a specific niche but I'm concerned that there is already too much competition in that niche to make any headway in it.

My answer to this question is simple:

1) Do not fear competition because, first of all, that means that a niche is potentially lucrative. Entrepreneurs are not dumb people. If a niche has little to no competition, that probably means there's little potential income to be made in it.

2) When I first started promoting an affiliate program that pays me 5 figures a month and has for years now, that niche already had thousands upon thousands of competitors in it. Did it stop me from becoming successful in this niche myself even though there were already countless people in it? The answer is no.

People tend to fear competition when I look at it as a good thing over all.

Now, let me make a further point.

For one of the programs we're going to be promoting, the affiliate program is discontinued. It's special invite only. So even though it's a very lucrative market, the people signing up for my training are going to have a very special opportunity to get into a passive income affiliate program that is no longer open to the general public.

This will limit competition in the sense that you won't be competing with nearly as many affiliates for this company as you otherwise would if it was still open to anyone.

However, you will be competing with other affiliates who are not students of mine who are promoting similar types of products in the marketplace, and that's perfectly acceptable.

Hope this helps to shed some light on my philosophy, beliefs, and experiences.
Dan Ho
Comment #3 (Posted by Russell) |
Thanks for the quick response guys. I'm sure I worry too much about competition and is one of the reasons I've had limited success in 4+ years of IM. Dan, I have a couple more questions if you don't mind... and Allan if it is more appropriate for me to ask Dan via email please let me know. I don't want to monopolize your blog with my personal questions.

1- You mention staying on each affiliate program for long time to maximize income - What is a long time, weeks? Months? What determines when we move on to the next aff program, or will we be working with more than one program at a time? I'd like to fast track my progress if possible.

2- For dedicated and focused go-getters, how much time should we plan on devoting to this? I'll be writing all my own content.

3- I know you'll try to avoid answering this one but do your best: What kind of ball-park income can I expect, assuming I follow all your training, work hard and am a good writer? I realize there are a lot of variables and that you can't legally make any income guarantees... just would like some realistic examples if we work hard. For example - is 4 figures monthly realistic within the next 60 days?
Thanks again!
Comment #4 (Posted by Dan Ho) |
Hi Russell,

Here are some more of my thoughts to your questions.

1) A long time will be many months or perhaps even a couple of years. I won't move away from these programs until I feel people have succeeded.

From experience, I know that if you move from program to program, it's very hard to build up much passive income. Now, there are people out there who are masters at mini-sites and hitting one niche after another in rapid succession, like the well known Phil Wiley.

But I don't think this applies to most people. That takes a very special talent that, in my opinion, is fair to say most people, including myself, do not possess.

To me, it makes much more sense to stick to a couple of rock solid affiliate programs until all of the opportunity is squeezed from them.

If we do this, I think people are going to build up pretty solid passive incomes in what we'll be promoting over time. Potentially a lot more than they'll be paying me for training over time.

So, my best guess is we'll be promoting the first 2 programs I'm recommending for well over a year.

I'll discuss in more detail on my training what will entail us moving to other programs in the future, but much of that is going to be reserved for people who have signed up.


2) As much time as you can. For my current students now, some are putting in a lot more effort than others. Obviously if someone is working 50 hours a week at a job, then they will be able to do a lot less than some others. I'm trying to get people to devote at least enough time to create one piece of keyterm focussed content per day. I understand that there are going to be people who can do much more, and people who can't do even that.

But that's the mininum goal I am trying to shoot for with the students. When you try to train a lot of people at once you run into these kinds of inherent difficulties.

3) Yep, I'm going to avoid answering this one. :) As an SBI webmaster for years, I've been asked this question over and over. Of course, I understand why it's being asked. We all like to fantasize about how much we might make with a business opportunity.

There are just no good answers to it, however.

First, Google (and other search engines) are going to ultimately rank your articles, not me. I'll be able to give rock solid tips on how to write good content but I obviously will not be in a position to review every student's individual articles each day.

So it isn't so easy to say, as you do, "if I am a good writer."

But Allan raised a very good point that I didn't feel needed repeating on my previous post to you, but I will here. Much of what the students will write will get found for different phrase/keyterm combinations that have nothing to do with the keyterms I provide.

This is why unique content is so good and why I am very clear in my "salesletter" for this training that I expect students to produce that.

Anyway, let me answer your question more directly.

My training is new. I've tested this on a small group of about 20 people who are local to me... and have proven I can get complete newbies who knew NOTHING.. I mean ZERO... about Internet marketing, making sales.

My training is for people like this. Or people who just have not succeeded in making sales if they've been around a long time (and for people like this I think I know the answer for their lack of success and will address it on my training).

What will my current students' potential income be over time? I don't know. I haven't had the fullness of time luxury yet to find out.

However, one of the individuals who is going to help me train the students is a personal friend who lives a long distance from me, and through my training of him over the years, makes 300k passively now per year.

There is also another gentleman... a great guy, maybe he will even read this post as I know he is a subscriber to Allan's newsletter. He is an affiliate of mine for one of the companies that the new students will be promoting.

He dropped me a line about 2 weeks ago saying that he hit the 1k a month passive income point with this company... and he is very ambitious and wants to ramp it up to 5k a month for this company.

Will he do it? I think he has a real shot.

Will other people do as well as he does? I can't say yes or no.

These are just a couple of real life examples that vary widely and it's the best I can offer you. I can't make any income claims.

Sadly, I know it's reality that I am going to have some students who may make nothing. If I was omniscient, I'd take them off the training now to save them their money... but I'm only human... and can only strive to do the best I can for the students.

Lastly.... let me state that I do not think that making 4 figures in the next 60 days is realistic.

I wouldn't even consider it realistic at all that someone will make 4 figures with SBI within 60 days and that is one of the best business building tools for online entrepreneurs ever created.

I don't think online business is a race out of the gate, but success is much more likely to be achieved by slow, plodding, consistent action.

Ok Dan and Adam... a couple of comments.

I joined your program, last night, on the strength of Allan's recommendation. I think that your sales letter needs a little more information.

After I submitted by payment through PayPal, all I received was a receipt for payment and no other information. I waited to see if there was a follow-up email and I didn't receive it until this morning ... in my Junk folder. I'm just glad that the word Mosaic looked familiar. Otherwise I would have deleted it. And I have to say that the .aol extention on the email didn't inspire a lot of confidence.

Anyway, you may wish to tell subscribers to look for Adam's email and to add it to their safe list.

I don't want to sound like a nagging hag but on of the things I've learned from Allan is that you have to "walk the walk." I know you're both highly successful internet marketers but when you're teaching people to be successful it's important to set a solid example.

I came very close to cancelling by subscription, but again, because Allan recommended you, I want to give you a chance.

Thanks for hearing me out.
Comment #6 (Posted by Dan Ho) |
Hi Olivia,
We would, of course, like to improve the salesletter. However, since this won't be rolled out as an affiliate program and I'll actually be soon stopping getting new students and concentrating on the ones we have in the very near future, we may not be able to use your comments since at that point, there will no longer be a salesletter.

But, at least for education purposes, if you could tell me what else needs to be clarified in the salesletter, I'd appreciate it.


Regarding the follow up email, we are choosing to do this a bit differently. We could have just sent out an autoresponder, but we aren't. This is why people do not receive an email right away. We are personally sending out emails after approximately each 10 subscribers sign up.

I'm sorry the email ended up in your junk folder. I've sent emails from gmail.com and my also my SBI sites where I am publishing the newsletter for the training and they also have ended up in the junk folder before for some other people. I wish there was more I could do to prevent that from happening except take commonsense prodecures, but nothing is foolproof.

Now, you do raise a valid point with the .com extension. I realize that may not be optimal or appear as "professional" as possible. I could have sent the emails from dan AT mosaicinternetsuccess.com or adam AT mosaicinternetsuccess.com and it would have looked more professional, of that there's no doubt.

However, there is a reason we are also using the aol email account.

To be frank, the first reason is until people signed up for the training, I did not want them to sign up for the newsletter at mosaicinternetsuccess.com, which is why the salespage is mosaicsuccess.com not mosaicinternetsuccess.com. I needed to not reveal the site until people who really wanted the service and signed up for it, did so.

After we initially launch, though, almost all communication will be send out from admin AT mosaicinternetsuccess.com, dan AT mosaicinternetsuccess.com or adam AT mosaicinternetsuccess.com, so at that point, things will appear more "professional."

However, we are also keeping the mosaicsuccess AT aol.com email valid as a backup because as a long time user of SBI there are sometimes problems. This is not a knock on SBI, but it's a reality. I've used SBI for years and years and I bet almost any other service can run into the same problem.

Which is namely that sometimes when I try to log in, it will be down due to ongoing maintanence even though the websites are still up and functioning.

Because we will often email the trainees on the day of an event (like a call we have tonight which we emailed a short while ago), we also decided to use a separate non-SBI related email students would become familiar with in case we couldn't access our SBI email accounts.

None of this is meant to justify anything you've found unpleasurable so far... but we will be using the mosaicsuccess AT aol.com email for some situations so I in fact will send out an email to tell people to whitelist it.
Best,
Dan

Comment #7 (Posted by Dan Ho) |
Just a short comment. I spoke with my partner about the aol extension.

As you know Olivia, we will be having a teleconfernece call tonight already for the trainees in which I will give people an overview, and answer some of the most commonly asked questions I've been getting over the last couple of days.

Adam sent out the info for the call and of course I also did from the newsletter.

We are going to implement your suggestion tomorrow where Adam will create a new email at mosaicsuccess.com and tell everyone to whitelist it when it's ready tomorrow.

We will also be using the mosaicinternetsuccess.com emails as well. Both of these will allow us to have a backup in case we need to let the trainees know something in very short order and one or the other isn't accessible.

So, thank you for your suggestion. It will be implemented tomorrrow.

Thanks so much for you quick response, Dan.

It wasn't my intention to put you on the defensive. I just wanted to communicate my personal experience with signing up and how you almost lost me as a customer.

I completely understand your rationale, but not having the advantage of knowing that last night was a cause for some concern.

I have a high degree of trust in Allan and that's why I decided to stick around.

See you tonight on the call.

P.S. You're a good sport!

Hi Dan,
As soon as I got the email from Allan, I tried to sign up for your program. I went through all the steps, but my payment didn't go through PayPal. I tried again, and PayPal said I had already paid. Very weird. I don't know if you can access my email from this comment, but is there anyway I can contact you to work this out?
Thanks! Lee

[Oh heck! Sorry. I automatically deleted your email because we don't publish them on comments. If you contact us through our form here
http://www.associateprograms.com/pages/Contact-Us
we won't lose your email address. I'm sure Dan willl sort this out. Also, you can often contact a website owner by doing a whois search to see who owns the website. A good place to do that is DomainTools.com. Allan.]
Comment #10 (Posted by Dan Ho) |
Olivia,
It was nice to get to speak with you on the call last night briefly.

To everyone else, we had a great first call... with what I felt was a high level of excitement and both Adam and myself had a fun time doing it.

I am writing this because for the people possibly interested in the training, they may be wondering about the billing.

Glennys at AssociatePrograms.com asked me this privately in an email and I think it's worth posting here in the open as well.

I've received this question enough times now where it makes me believe others may be wondering the same thing or have come to their own conclusion (perhaps incorrectly) so I wanted you to hear it from the horse's mouth, so to speak.

The question revolves around billing. Some people are wondering if the billing for this service is indefinite once they sign up.

Here is the answer:

The answer is people can cancel out any given month they wish. But, they will be billed for that one month.

So, if someone signs up today, but they cancel out after week three, they will still have access to the private forum and the teleconference calls (or recordings of it), etc., for another week and then we will remove them.

If they cancel after 2 1/2 months, they will get billed for 3 months, have access to everything until, and then all billing will stop.

So, in short, it's very flexible. People can drop out any time, but we just aren't doing pro-rata refunds. For example, someone dropping out after week three will not be refunded for the last week of the month. That would just get too messy and time consuming for us.

Now, regarding the websites, a lot of students are building their own, and a lot are having us build them one. For the ones who are using us, we are registering their unique domain and hosting it, writing the presell, putting in the student's affiliate links, google adsense code, and so forth.

Those are $14.99 a month. However, if a student drops out, the site reverts back to us. It bothers me to have to do this, but after we've carefully considered it, we felt we had no choice since if we did it the other way, there would be nothing to prevent a student from signing up, having us build the site, then cancel out soon thereafter, say, the following month, and then owning the site.

Lastly, I'll point out that the training fees and site fees are entirely separate.

So, for instance, someone may be on the training for 3 months, have one website built by us, feel like they've gotten enough training, cancel out, but keep the site going on for $14.99 a month because it is generating traffic and making more than the 14.99 a month in ongoing site fees.

Of course, like any ambitious business person, I am going to try my best to provide services OTHER than the training that will make members NOT want to cancel out.

A couple of these were mentioned last night on the call. For example, I believe the continuous keyterm research I do and will post up at the private forum alone every month is going to more than justify the monthly training fee.

Also, as announced last night on the call, we are also going to produce a certain number of PLR articles written specifically for the affiliate programs we will promote, which the students will have access to.

This, too, I think will help keep people enrolled since articles written specifically for the programs we'll promote is much better than a typical PLR site which may give you a lot of articles, but most of which you can't use for what you happen to be promoting.

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Dan

Hi Dan ,
Is your training reffer, as well, to links via google adwords with no need to invest on minisite at all ? advertising the site itself with no need to built my own mini site at all.

Thanks
Riki
Comment #12 (Posted by Dan Ho) |
Hi Riki,
I'm not sure I know exactly what you're asking. So, in case I'm not understanding your question correctly, just ask again.

So, let me answer the question on what I think you're asking.

You do not need to "invest" or buy one of the sites we are building.

But we also build sites for students so there is "no need to built my own mini site at all." There is an additional charge for this of 14.95 a month.

Students of my service will make money two ways: through affiliate income and through Google Adsense (not adwords). We will put up the student's Google adense code on the site if we build it for them.

If they build their own site, then, of course, they put up their own Google adsense code.
Hope this helps.
Dan
Comment #13 (Posted by Arthur Wesley) |
I subscribed to Dan's program in May. I want to compliment the IM Masters (and there are a few) who work tirelessly with the membership as a group, one on one, through the forum, newsletter and personal mailings, to achieve a level of experience and success second to none. The price could easily be set to several hundreds of dollars a month for the privilege alone. Approximately 30 and 40 dollars a month is *insane* when these people are willing to do most of the work for you! I believe membership is limited and nearly maxed-out, so I would suggest to those of you that crave success and financial freedom to act now, before you lose out. Thank you Dan, Adam -- all of you! Kudos goes to Allan for bringing this opportunity to our attention!

I wrote to Dan to enquire more and haven't got a reply in weeks. So, sorry Dan, but you've lost a potential customer.

I understand what Dan is offering here. But you see, I've actually been doing this before I wrote to Dan, and my only problem was in the details. It actually sounds too good to be true, and I've seen enough good and bad things about Internet Marketing to mention them here.

Still, a reply could have earned you a customer. That's how I gauge how capable the advertiser is in actually delivering what he is selling.

[Perhaps Dan's reply went astray. Weird things can happen with email. Allan.]

Hi WL.W,

I don't know what your email is... nor do I know your name because of the initials. I'm not sure which email you sent one too, but I have no recollection of receiving one from you.

As you can imagine, I get a lot of emails every single day, and as Allan correctly pointed out, I never received yours.

If it's too late to redeem you as a customer, I perfectly understand. But I have never ignored even one email I've ever received. Sometimes I don't give the answer(s) that someone wants to hear, but that's life. I can't please everyone.

But I never willfully ignore an email entirely.

Try sending one again to dan AT mosaicinternetsuccess.com if you are still inclined to do so.

Thanks,
Dan

If one chooses for you to build the site, is the pre-selling content unique or the same for everyone?

Hi David,
As you know, I already answered your question in private since you emailed me, but I thought I'd also answer it publicly as well for anyone who has the same question.

The presell content is the same for every student whose site we build. Subscribers building their own sites are free to use their own presell, of course.

With the artistic templates, there are some choices that the subscribers can make.

As for the presell being the same for everyone, it does not matter. It is highly effective presell, because, first, I wrote it myself, and, two, the results (sales) are pouring in from subscribers using our sites and our presell.

The reason it works is because the traffic is driven to the site from off site methods. Therefore, it does not make any difference if the presell is the same for everyone.
Regards,
Dan Ho
