I just found a new CPA offer search engine. www.affspy.com this is in addition to www.offervault.com that i posted about a while ago.

Join them both and get to work. Just build up that list and you cant go wrong.

Personally I’m sticking to the fitness market only for my marketing efforts. There are so many sub niches its really not necessary to spread things out. By keeping to one market – some offers can be sent to everybody. Plus you get better branding and expertise.

Commercial Intent – Whats that ?

Its a marketing buzzword, just like “social proof” or “content is king”. Yeah so big deal.

Commercial Intent is “the” buzzword.

So many of you are ignorant of it. Marketing without it is like fishing without a hook on your line.

Have all the bait and fish you want, no hook, no dinner.

If people have “commercial intent” they are prehooked. They are already willing to buy.
Thats what it means – its a market psychologically ready and willing to make a purchase.
Where do you find this market offline ? At the mall, in a que at the supermarket, movies or sports venue.These people have made the decision to purchase and are about to do so. Take a look at the trades wanted classifieds – they have commercial intent.

Where do we find these people online ? Ebay for sure and other sites. What keyword phrases do they use ?

Google has released a new tool that will tell you the exact phrases and exacty when and where they are being used. http://www.google.com/insights/search/

Many of the very best keywords with %80 – %90 commercial intent have little to no competion.This is how I know… so many are ignorant of it.

So I’m about to exploit this and hope to profit immensely. Commercial Intent is the missing link, the holy grail that I have been searching for. Commercial intent to a marketer is “the” single most important thing.

So use it when researching markets.

Seek it when researching keywords.

Exploit it when writing copy and building sales funnels, websites and partnerships.

Make it the cornerstone of your marketing efforts. Make Commercial Intent your diety and mantra. Indeed become the center of your customers commercial intent. Commercial Intent is King Killer.

So where do you find commercial intent? well google labs has kindly given us a new tool.
Its the google insights for search tool – this is the bomb and its like google trends on steroids. Its so good that its almost like pointing a giant arrow at your prospects sitting at the computer. There are a couple of great info products at present that can help you.

I recommend “amazon affiliate gold”

“Google insights WSO videos” and “four minute money”.

I’m sure there are lots more tricks out there for finding commercial intent.

Yes as you can see here on my blog I have a FriendFeed WebStream set up. I have followed all the pre-season advice and eagerly anticipate what lessons may be coming up.

I expect there to be alot of blogging and RSS syndication. Actually I already had most of the accounts set up but the 30DC strategy kind of turns it all into a big spiders web.

I love this event. Heck right here are Michel Fortin, Dr Mike Woo Ming , Ewen Chia – How damn cool is that. What more they all seem like nice people. The hosts Tom Hua and Brett McFall are great guys too.  Allthough Brett could do with a hairpeice but what the hell so could I.

Seriously When you get the chance go to one of these. Best thing about auckland is the small crowd so they are all accessable for a chat.

Well I’ve had some ups and downs in the last couple of weeks but most are sorted now. I’m working on my first commercial electronics project – making up $25,000 worth of biofeedback equipment. There have been basically many communication problems and a few products with glitches. I nearly went bananas but yes its all largely OK now.

The actual product builld will only take week or two and honestly I dont have much of a marketing plan yet – better get to work on it. Id really like to sell all 10 units in one go and do another build, then spread to other products.

The markups in electronics are quite outstanding and there is far less competition than with info-products.

FUEL and GAS Savings

This is a timebomb.

Man it must be IM season over in the USA with all the product everybody is pumping out. I think TrafficUniversity just closed its doors and thats a great resource. Traffic Secrets 2 is out soon and so is Xsitepro 2. Plus a heap of other stuff. I have decided to purchase conversion prophet this month and I may join worldwidebrands also. But after that I better just spent the rest on traffic generation.

OK I have to make this blog post because I’ve kind of freaked out over the whole affair.

Mr “X” to me prior to this was some kooky adwords expert who apparently was making alot of money doing somewhat devious adwords tactics. Cool – no problem.

Come a few days back I get an email from Frank Kerns list about “wholesale traffic system” I found a thread on warrior forum in the product review section where someone revealed Mr “X” ‘s real identity and claimed he was a crook.

This got me interested – two whole days later I find the other two threads, by now something like 5000 views have been made on these 3 threads.

To cut a long story short just look in the waybackmachine at the selmedica site and the sites it links to. The whole thing was a pitiful charade. I don’t even know if this guy made as much money as claimed – probably did.

What disappoints me is that several top marketers mailed for their apparently crooked friend and never withdrew the endorsement once the lid blew. Just look through the bogus sales page links on selmedica and see what a total fraud the operation was.
There are plenty of dodgy experts in all feilds of marketing. The problem’s really start when they begin joining forces. When the number of the shady operators starts to increase.

John Reese seems to be taking advantage of it all with his social marketing and transparency dogma at present.
