On rare occasions I learn of something which is so special that it deserves a Special Edition of the Associate Programs Newsletter. This is one of those times.

=======================================
At last! How to make money using Vstore
- quickly and easily
=======================================

Quite a few people have been asking me recently what I think about Vstore.

Vstore is hugely tempting.

After all, it's FREE and with push-button simplicity you can set up a professional looking online store in minutes, you can sell a massive range of name brand products at excellent prices - and you can even buy Christmas presents from your own store and earn commissions on those sales.

If you're like most of us, you know you're spending far too much time and money building and maintaining a website when you really ought to be spending that time on marketing.

Vstore can make that goal possible.

But does it work? Can you make money with it?

Yes you can, say Patrick Anderson and Michael Henderson.

In their new book, "Right on the Money" Patrick and Michael use Vstore as a case study as they reveal for the first time their innovative strategies developed over four years of Internet business development with MindSpring customers, and consulting clients such as BMW and Simmons.

The book is based on real experience.

It tells you how Patrick created a site and made sales within five hours using tested, proven techniques.

I've known Patrick of ADNet International for quite a while and I love his writing style. He has the knack of imparting useful information in a way which makes his stuff fun to read.

As I read this book, little light bulbs kept switching on in my head. One after another, I kept having those delightfully sweet moments when you think, "Ah! So THAT'S what I should be doing!" or "So THAT'S how I get the information I need free . . . how clever!"

For example, the authors acknowledge that building traffic to a new site is hard. However, instead of worrying about that, it tells you how to tap into OTHER PEOPLE'S traffic.

The section on choosing the RIGHT products to sell (no, not marketing books) which will move quickly is utterly brilliant.

Before I read this book, I'd been telling people that Vstore had two disadvantages - it lacked a good system to attract return visits and your store would lack a memorable URL.

However, Patrick and Michael are two steps ahead of me. They have both those aspects fully covered.

They tell you:

• A simple way to capture your visitors' e-mail addresses and how to use them to ensure return visits - and sales.
• How to personalize your online store to boost sales.
• An easy, quick way to add a memorable URL to increase repeat traffic.

These aspects are important because people often don't buy on the first visit - a purchase on the third visit to a site is much more likely.

"Right on the Money" is written in a deceptively simple style. Great ideas often are.

Patrick told me modestly that the ideas in this Internet marketing book "will appeal to anyone interested in Vstore, Nexchange or Affinia".

That's a huge understatement. "Right on the Money" will appeal to anyone marketing any product or service on the Internet.

Perhaps you're new to Internet marketing and want to start with a free Vstore store as a way of dipping your toe in the water. Or perhaps you're more seriously involved and plan to add 10 Vstores to your existing online business.

Either way, as you read "Right on the Money", if you're like me you'll find yourself thinking, "I can do that!"

I'm positive you'll love it, but if you don't, you can use their 100% money-back guarantee.

As Patrick and Michael say, learning how to run a successful Vstore is a crash course in e-commerce without the financial risk.

"Our goal is to teach people how to sell products online as quickly as possible. We use Vstore as a case study so they can get started without spending thousands of dollars on web design," Patrick says.

You will learn how to build traffic, convert shoppers to buyers, build a customer list and continue to profit from repeat sales and referrals.

"Right on the Money" is really two books in one.

Part one is a step-by-step guide to get you started making sales in time for Christmas. Part two is a resource section which explains several promotion strategies in-depth.

Want to give this a bit more thought?

Then perhaps you should think about this quote from the book: "Remember that 70% of retail items - all those Beanie Babies and toys and shirts and ties - are sold during the Christmas holiday season."

"Right on the Money" tells you how to set up an online store and start generating revenue in a few hours. You can do it in time for the Christmas rush.

Looks good to me!
