Extreme Review Relaunch and a Bonus for Everyone!
Published: Tue, 09/13/11
Hi, guys!
Time for me to say thank you to all of you for sharing so many neat sites and lenses this week. I can't tell you how energizing it is to see such activity and excitement. It's like getting a shot of caffeine without all the associated jitters. (That's a good thing!)
I have also heard from folks who are discouraged because they've been trying so hard and they're frustrated by the months (years, even) that they've put into trying to be successful online without seeing anything in return.
If you're not seeing success online, that doesn't mean you aren't working hard enough and it doesn't mean you aren't capable. This business is a formula like any other. Find the piece of the formula that you're missing and you really can turn things around. I'm not saying it will be easy, I'm just saying don't give up but approach the problem a bit scientifically.
Getting sales is a function of 3 things: Traffic, Clickthroughs, and Conversions. Which one is holding you up? Find it and focus on learning about just that one thing until you get it right.
Business is like that. Uncovering problems. Finding solutions. Making decisions. Sometimes we have to make tough decisions.
I had a tough choice to make this week, in fact. I've decided to guide my business in a new direction. Rather than continue with the weekly webinars, I'm building a forum and community site where I can provide a regular sharing of information and strategies. (If anyone knows a good VBulletin programmer, let me know!)
I will likely return to doing a newly formatted webinar series in the near future but I need to get some other tools in place first to help support those who are working on their Amazon sites and their Squidoo Niche Blaster series.
As a result of this change in business strategy, I've split Extreme Review (my step by step guide to building authority style product review sites for Amazon Associates) away from the combination package that was previously available with John Jonas's outsourcing material.
The product is now back on its original WSO. The joint package price was most recently $41 and by splitting the product off on its own I've been able to reduce the price. You can see the relaunched thread here: Extreme Review - Amazon Product Review Sites that Dominate their Niche
For those of you who already have that product, nothing has been changed except that I added a set of bonus backlinking strategies which I'm making available to all of you here:
You'll get a little more detail on how I turn a review on my site into an article for ezinearticles.com, how to make a video you can use on YouTube for your product review site, and some other little gems I've been using lately. Just some things I hope you find useful and my little way of encouraging you all to keep moving forward!
Sincerely,
Erica Stone
