It's a rare occasion when I really have to say thank you to a fellow marketers for his free stuff. Yesterday, Jeff Bode left a comment on this site, I checked his link out, and subscribed to his mailing list -- I always do that to people who leave comments on my site. And yes, his thank you page contained more links, yadda-yadda-yadda, you know... Normally, that's just more opt-in forms leading to more opt-in forms and you don't want to spend Sunday subscribing more and more and more... However, one link was different.
The title was "Why Two Sick Bastards Are Offering OVER 43 Of Their Own Personal Tools For Only $7" To begin with, a little research showed that "two bastards" are Jason Fladlien and Lance Tamashiro. Anyway, it's up to them to joke about themselves, but the offer was clearly over the board.
I know, you've seen a lot of mails saying "This offer is insane!!!" and all you think about it is "Yeah, sure, right..." That's what I do. But this one was insane. They are not really making sales, they are essentially giving away a huge pack of tools, so that at $7 it was a no-brainer to me.
Here is a short list:
Tons of Word Press themes, mini-sites templates, PLR eBook templates. That was the tipping point for me. First, I am about to finish the product where PLR eBook templates would be a great bonus to throw in, so that alone was worth $7 for me. Also, if you are just starting and don't have a website, you may think that mini-site templates and WordPress themes are no big deal. Yes, there are a lots of them floating around. But the good ones with the reasonable right for reuse, not so much. I can create mini-sites, it's just I don't want to spend time on that. So, that was the second part that made me to go for it. The rest was pretty much a topping on the cake for me, although it's all also very good.
727 Mb of MP3 interviews with Rich Schefren, Jay Abraham, Mike Filsaime, Jim Edwards, and more. I saved them to the hard drive to listen when I have the time, probably, while driving with my Zune player (yeah, I am not in iPod crowd...)
220 zipped megabytes List Building video course. If you are building the list, you may want that.
Tons of reports on using social media, getting traffic, copywriting (some of Jason's courses reused), article marketing, even NLP and time management for those with the day jobs...
One catch: it's only $7 for a limited time after you get to the site, so once you opened the page, you have to buy fast, or the price goes up. Apparently, they put IP address based automation for that. If I wanted to, I'd know how to cheat this system, only I did not have to, but for most people that OTO technique is bullet proof. So, don't think long if you want that price.
By the way, is anybody interested to implement the same OTO technique in their sales process? I can easily publish a pattern with code snippets on how to do that. Just leave the comment to this article and ask.
Anyway, here is the link: Ultimate Internet Marketer Pack by Jason Fladlien and Lance Tamashiro. Enjoy!
You can also look there how IP address based limited time one-time offer works. Just open two browser windows, use one to buy, and see what will happen in the second window once the time is gone. It's just about 10 minutes. You should be able to open the same link later in another browser (e.g. Chrome if you have used Firefox) and still you will be presented with the regular higher price. Beautiful! Cookies cannot do that.
Oh, and once you've got it, you can promote it with 100% commission for yourself! Jason and Lance are using that to build the list, that's why the offer is so good.
Thanks for the write up!
By AnonymousEly,
Just wanted to say thanks for the review and the kind words. I really appreciate it - you're a good writer.
I loved that IP address countodwn timer script! It's about as genuine you can get to a "this offer will never appear" again. Even if you proxy it, it only works for you once, and then after that it kicks you out somehow - I have no idea :)
Anyway, just wanted to thank you again for your kind words.
-Jason Fladlien
You are welcome
By Ely...besides, I was really impressed with that package. So, respect and I hope to see you growing as the authority in the IM niche.
