A Low Cost High Impact Viral Marketing Technique

Edition #113

As I expected, my last newsletter incited some strong opinions. By the way, for those of you did happen to purchase How to Think Like a Marketer through my link, be sure to post your receipt on my helpdesk and I’ll send you a gift.

One of the recurring comments on my blog was that the price of the home study course was out of reach. In response, they have now added a payment plan, so if you’re interested be sure to check that out.

Today I’m going to share with you a very low cost marketing technique that is working like crazy…

There’s no expensive systems to buy, nothing complicated to learn… it’s just a simple formula that is creating tremendous results for online marketers.

This is something that’s working right now, that you can put into action by the end of the day. Be sure to read to the end because I’m also going to give you the chance to have your product featured in this newsletter.

It’s a new spin on an old technique.

As you may know, one of the easiest ways to get started in this business is by selling a low-cost information product, such as an ebook.

If you were to look back at every edition of Eric’s Tips, you’d find that MANY times I have sold a product between $5 and $10.

Why do I do that? Because it’s effective. Any time I sell a product in that price range, I am virtually guaranteed to put money in my pocket.

My friend Jon Leger (mentioned in edition #17, 34 and 72) has come up with an easy way to combine low-cost ebooks with viral list building.

He’s used this technique to build a list of thousands of buyers (we’re talking about genuine buyers, not free opt-ins) in a matter of days. If you know anything about list building, you’ll know that a fresh list of paid customers is the most profitable type.

In respect of his new ebook, I’m not going to reveal the entire system here on my blog, but essentially it involves a PHP script he wrote that allows you to set up a viral referral program.

His ebook talks about how to set up your low-cost information product, explains a few important things you need to know, and most importantly…

It includes the script he created!

It’s called $7 Secrets and you can pick it up here:

Click here for the $7 Secrets ebook and script…

He’s used this technique to make many thousands of dollars, but you can get his $7 Secrets ebook and script for…you guessed it… only $7!

I’ve already installed the $7 Secrets script on a site, and I plan on installing it on many more. By the way, you don’t have to sell your product for exactly $7 to use this script. You can set any price, although $7 is really an ideal number in many situations (the book explains why).

For example, I just set up the script to sell this new YouTube Traffic secrets ebook for only $5:

Real life example: Click here for YouTube Traffic Secrets

By the way there are some nice tips in that ebook too;)

Okay, now here’s the real kicker…

We’re going to help you get some VISITORS to your new low-cost ebook too!

I say “we”, because Jon already created a site for you to promote it, and I’m going to help promote it too.

To showcase all the products that are using the new $7 secrets system, Jon set up a site called: $7 Offers

If you purchase his $7 Secrets script and set up your own product with it, you can then ADD YOUR PRODUCT to his $7 Offers site.

Additionally, as a special bonus I will feature your product here in my newsletter in a showcase of everyone’s products.

To get this bonus, you need to do the following:

1) Order the $7 Secrets ebook/script from this page
2) Post your receipt to my helpdesk no later than Feb 22nd, along with the following information:

- Name of your product and short description (70 words max)
- URL of your sales page (You must use the $7 Secrets script on it)

On the helpdesk ticket, use the subject line “$7 Secrets bonus”.

You ARE allowed to use resale rights products if you do not have your own product.

I hope a lot of you will get your products set up with this script, and we’ll have a lot of fun seeing everyone’s sites.

As always, I welcome your comments here in the blog.

Have a great day!

    This is great offer and opportunity for everyone, I just have few questions.
    1.Does that include people who have received $7 book for being on the call with Jon and Joel?
    2.Can we offer affiliate product?
    Thank you

      Katarina- I suppose I will offer the bonus also if you purchased through Joel… You can only feature a product that is set up with the $7 Secrets script on your own site.

        Hi Eric,

        I wasn’t going to go for this even though the price is low. Actually it’s because the price os so low that I wasn’t considering it. I may just give it a try now.

        Have a good one,
        Rezbi

          Does this offer include those that bought Jonathan’s book through Jonathan and not through you or Joel?

          • At 2007.02.16 17:34, Eric said:

            Tom- ah well what the heck, OK :-) I can see this is going to be a common request, so OK if you bought the script through anyone you can participate in the bonus. But please do not publicize it, as this is for current Eric’s Tips subscribers only, and of course the other condition is that you must have the script running on your site.

                    I would have bought from your affiliate link, but I bought it days ago. I was going to setup a new book for this, but I have to travel after tomorrow… maybe next week.

                                Hello Eric,
                                I have a small eBook (22 pages), the name is “How to use Skype to benefit your business” and has his own domain, $7 will be just fine for it!
                                I shall try to submit to you until 22, I just want to do some cosmetic changes to it + add the script.
                                I look to the page Jon created, the eBook website will be add it automaticaly in that website! If yes, I think “Business” will be the right category, I prefer “eBay” but this category don’t exist.
                                I enjoy your blog, news, opportunities and ideas.
                                Thanks
                                Michaela

                                          Hi Eric,

                                          1. Can we post links to our products not made with $7 script?

                                          2. Your last newsletter…why most fail at IM.

                                          I agree that to succeed on the net you have to think like a salesperson. It is why most people trying to sell online fail to consider who they are talking to and how to talk with them.

                                          But the web is different from offline sales in that it is impersonal (even telemarketing is more personal with a ‘live’ voice). So to break down the ‘I don’t trust’ barrier you need to know simple but highly effective tactics or strategies.

                                          But if you don’t have the right attitude…’what can I do for you’ rather than the ole familiar radio station, WIIFM, (what’s in it for me) you will be doomed in your home business.

                                            Dan- this offer is only for posting a link to product set up on the $7 script. Thanks!

                                              I bought the $7 script when it launched, and I have already sold many so far. It’s an amazing viral marketing strategy.

                                              It works like gangbusters.

                                                Hi Eric,

                                                I am promoting your Writing Cash program as affiliate by PPC Google AdWords system but it charge me each month without to get Clickbank commissions because all minim bid offers are $5-$10 only and I can’t afford.

                                                But tomorrow I’m going to buy Jon’s “$7 Secrets” script to try to use a viral site.But I have some questions as follows:

                                                I haven’t my own product (ebook) and nor haven’t in process now.How can I use Jon’s “$7 Script”?
                                                How can I use resale rights?
                                                I am going to write a book in the future.
                                                Can I write an ebook until Feb/22?

                                                I wait your answer then I’ll decide to buy $7 Script.

                                                          Eric,

                                                          I think you have a wonderful site here. I’ve been reading your posts over the past few days and you definitely give great opinions and advice.

                                                          I do have a resell product that I’m basically giving away for free in order to build my list. I believe using the scripts from Jon’s site will help me get the word out on this free course and help me build my list quickly.

                                                          Thanks,

                                                                    I think Jonathan has put a lot of work on his script. The latest update has made a big difference.

I wish Jon will extend the end with 2-3 days!

                                                                          did I miss something? I read the salesletter for the $ 7.- report before but could not find anything interesting. To me it seemed like just another cheap ebook with resell rights. Now you tell me something of a (viral?) script that comes with it. Did I miss the description what this script does? It seems neither you nor Jonathan or anyone else who was promoting this report explained this hype to me…??? All I understand by now through comments in this blog is that if I run this script on my website (what does it do? WIIFM?) then I can advertise in - yet another - directory and participate in - yet another - affiliate program. I bet there’s more to it… Can anyone help me out?

                                                                          • At 2007.02.25 16:00, Eric said:

I am new and more or less exhausted from all ebooks I have bought an try to read and read and read. And now I am in the beginning to make me a website of my own. Have been studing the internet market for severel month now and “start” to understand it, just to find out that it is not vailued any longer and that it is new roles for opt-in pages and that there are a need to have more content on them. So here I am start it all over again. I am grateful for Eric´s newsletter or blog that one can learn from. Thanks a lot.

                                                                                Cheers,
