Hey There!
Okay, I feel like having a little fun, and well, I need to offer you a bribe as well so I thought I’d send out this email.
Okay, my last email did not get a terrific open rate so I’m assuming that folks are on vacation or thought it was a repeat email as the title was similar to one I sent out before. Or, it could be, as one member pointed out to me, that Aweber is pretty bad at tracking things.
I’m going to assume it is this because the email before that had an open rate of 119%, which was really cool but impossible I think.
I absolutely know it can’t be because you guys are tired of hearing from me already, right?
Alright, as you may have read in an email I sent to everyone else that has bought the course, I have started a blog.
Now, I know I don’t need to bribe you to visit it and leave comments but I am going to anyway… with free articles you can take and spin to make your own to submit to article directories or leave them as is to use as content on oyur own blog or website.
So, here’s how it works. I have linked one of the words in each blog post to the page that has the free article. Yes, I suppose you could just scroll down real quick and look for the links and not bother to read my insightful and well thought out post… which are also very informative, but I know you would’nt do that to me, right?
Anyway, I didn’t want to make it any harder than that so read the post and when you come to a word that is underlined that is your link to the free article. I’ll be doing this for most posts I make to the blog, cool?
Affiliate News: I have 10 affiliates with one sale or more who have not bought through their own link so these are legit sales. And with hardly any traffic at all being sent to the sales page. It really is converting off the charts. I’ll actually add a video to the blog in a couple of days showing the Clickbank tracking chart so you can see the numbers for yourself.
So, get those articles out there and you should start making sales, and oh, yeah, check out my blog.

Hey All!
First I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that have signed on as affilaites for the 4 - Day Money making Blueprint. It has been live for less that 4 days and I already have four affiliates with 3 or more sales, and the page is converting at about 1 in every 25 visits… it is awesome, and thanks.
In the spirit of the great master Travis Sago, I’ll be announcing an affiliate contest very soon, so get those articles out there. I have made 7 sales myself without even trying! I have about 12 articles and a couple of videos pointing to the new sales page and nothing else, so this is solid gold for you guys if you give it half an effort.
I’ll give more details on the contest but the prize will be worth it and something to shoot for and you have a better chance than competing with the thousands of MOMU affiliates… a MUCH better chance!
Okay, I received an email to review an article, one of many and I’m still seeing a lot of flat, rigid articles that are not working. This young lady was gracious enough to allow me to use her article as an example for the beneifit of all so I hope you take the time to click on over and see the original article and how I rewrote it to perform better.
Okay, snap snap, get to work and promote my product…pleeeese? lol

Hey Everyone!
Okay, first things first. The last email I sent had an 85% open rate… yes, I know what you guys are doing at all times.
A promise was made that you would open ALL mail in this special members area and as a punishment for some of you, who probably won’t open this one either, the rest of you have to watch a video I made about Travis… it is short and kinda funny and most will probaly think it is stupid, well maybe. Okay, punishment is over.
I have also put together a very instructional video for you on backlinks and Google Alerts.
And also included a short video that goes along with it for Firefox users.
I use these techniques very effectively so you should too! If you even bothered to open my emial..he-he.
And the video course is now on Clickbank so I hope you will promote it! I’ve started adding things to the affiliate area so you can check that out as well
Thanks to everyone who sent me a picture and for those who are using the article writing service and most of all, thanks for letting me chat with you for a little while!

Well, it is 4 AM over here on the east coast of the USA and I can’t sleep… again!
There are a lot of reasons really but that is not the point of me writing to you today. I only mention it because all of these reasons are pointing me in a direction I wasn’t sure I wanted to go, but may.
This direction would affect all of you so it is an important decision I must make and one that keeps me awake at night… but more on that later.
I wanted to talk to you today about your articles. I have read so many of them my head is spinning… some are really good and some not so good. Please, don’t take offense when someone says what your doing can be improved upon, I have people in my life that tell me this all the time and I always consider what it is they have to say… even though they are usually wrong! lol
Anyway, I wanted to stress the importance of your first paragraph in every article you write. This should be considered as your “lead” and needs to convey the entire idea or point of the article to come.
A lot of people think this should be done in the title and if it can be, that would be awesome. Problem is our titles have to have our keywords in them and most article directories limit how long a title can be so it is very hard to sum up our article message in a single title while including a long tailed keyword phrase.
So, we must do it in our first paragraph.
Now, I thought it might be fun to give you guys a little test and to get your brain wrapped around the idea of writing your first paragraph in a way that delivers the idea of the message most of your readers want to hear.
So you have a homework assignment:
This assignment is taught in journalism classes all across the globe so if you have heard about it and know the answer let this be a refresher course to you. Otherwise, please answer the question by leaving a comment over at the blog. Don’t leave your name if you don’t want to but I think this will allow you to see how other people are thinking and give us some idea of what we need to improve upon.
So, let me know you guys are out there and interested in learning by leaving a comment here, okay? My feelings are very fragile at the moment so if only a couple of you respond you all will be held responsible for the abuse my dog may receive later this afternoon! he-he.
Okay, here is your assignment. I’m going to give you some facts and I want you to write the lead for a hpothetical story or article:
Here are the facts: “Jason B. Alexander, the principal of Bayside High School, announced today that the entire high school faculty will travel to Richmond next Wednesday for a colloquium in new teaching methods. Among the speakers will be anthropologist Milly Speilman, college president Dr. Robert Downey, jr. and Virginia governor Tim Cain.”
Okay, write a two or three sentence lead to this story and I will look them over as they come in and give you what my lead would be. Sound interesting? I hope you guys will participate in this, I really do want all of you to have the most success possible so learn, learn, learn!
