Thoughts for the weekends and Don’t get Lasik Surgery!

Thought I’d post up the final results from the product launch before the weekend hits. I won’t be able to do any work for the weekend, so it’ll be ultimate test of “automated income.”

Here are the results:

Tonight is when the 51% discount ends for the product. Then the price will go up to $197. I promoted this same vendor’s products a few months ago, and they did not raise the price after the promo. So, we’ll see if they actually increase the price to $197.

I guess it all depends on buzz. How many people are still interested in the product? I personally am hoping that they boost it to $197, just to see. Because I’ve never experienced such great success with a $97 product.

Before this I used to stick to products between $20 to $40. I thought, “If I don’t buy it, why should others.”

Then I realized how backwards that thinking is. People are buying for content. They’re buying something because it will give them something new.

Unfortunately, I promoted a lot of bad products before promoting good ones. And the right product, something that trully gives people something unique will not only sell well, but have staying power.

This is the reason that products in my niche such as Turbulence Training and Truth About Abs have been doing so well for so many years.

Its because they were the first of their kind. Well, the product I’m promoting, TacFit Commando, truly is revolutionary and the first of it’s kind.

I’m glad I’m part of this. It showed me whats possible on the web (and what’s possible with my body. Those exercises are tough!)

Future ideas:

• Need to start cracking on the Mike Thiga program. He finished up the interview for me. I just need to publish. Here’s the dilemma I’m facing:
  • Mike Thiga’s products is all about Muscle Building with Bodyweight. It’s unique, never before seen content. It’s also a recent release. I had not idea about the product until Mike contacted me. So, the question is – should I get aggressive with this thing? Launch date was on Jan. 27. So I’m still within the window of opportunity. I posted a review of the product a few days back, and I’m starting to see some traffic to it, but no sales yet. Or, should I wait and use it as a back up once the TacFit sales slow down?
• For TacFit, I want to continually add new content to the landing/review page. I’ve taken the videos they were using to promote to their list and placed them on the review page. Technically, my personal review is only about 2-3 paragraphs. Everything else is presell (if that makes any sense). I REALLY want this product to sell well, not just because it’s lucrative, but it’s really something people need to know about. So, I will brainstorm over the weekend what I can do on my end to keep sales steady – (a lot of this will depend on the price increase).
• Finally…I got a request for a private ad! But it was only for a measly $20 per month. However, it did get me thinking about another way I can make money through my site. I have 9 spots on my side bar and underneath each article where I advertise affiliate products. I can sell that ad space. I also mention affiliate products within articles and have SEO traffic going to those landing pages. So, just in case all those 9 spaces are filled up with private ads, I can still make commission off of affiliate products. However, I need to set good rates for them. $20 per month is pointless if I’m making around $100 per day (thanks to the launch!). So, there’s something else I need to think about over the weekend.

So, to recap, I gotta figure out how to get consistent sales with TacFit Commando, what to do with Mike Thiga’s product, and how to set advertising rates.

On top of that I’m going to go see the doctor tomorrow for my eyes. Damned lasik surgery. Don’t get it done!

Hope the news isn’t too bad.
