Hello again, and welcome to this weeks
letter! I hope this weeks issue finds you well,
and your online business continuing to grow and
thrive.
Well, Christmas is definitely getting closer.
If all the Christmas decorations going up hadn't
convinced you, the increased number of shoppers
around certainly should!
We were really good last year - we managed to
get pretty much all our Christmas shopping done
before the end of November. Not this year, alas!
We will be attempting to do it this weekend.
Here's hoping we can fight our way through the
crowds :-)
Speaking of Christmas decorations, I'm going
to try something a bit different in this
newsletter. I'm going to try and collect
pictures of the Christmas decorations people on
this list have put up.
I've created a page at http://www.achievenetprofits.com/christmas/
for people to view them. I've started the page
off with a picture of our tree that we put up on
the weekend, but that's only one picture. I'd
like to get a lot more pictures there!
So if you've taken a picture of the Christmas
decorations at your house (preferably from this
year, but last year is ok), and you're willing
to share it, just follow the instructions on
that page to send me the picture.
And as an incentive for people to send in
their pictures, I'm going to give away one free
membership to my membership site (drawn on
Boxing Day) from the group of people who take
part.
Hopefully we can all help spread a little
Christmas cheer this year.
(BTW, in case anyone is cynical about this
being 'another marketing ploy', it isn't. There
are no ads, popups, popovers, popunders, or
anything else like that on the page. Just
Christmas pictures.)

Just two quick heads up in case you missed
them last week. I have two collections of
discounts to popular Internet marketing products
that you can take advantage of.
The first is a collection called 'My Discount
Vault', where you'll find over 42 discounts
inside. You have to buy the collection to access
the discounts, but you also get resell rights to
the collection once you buy it!

The second collection is the page of
discounts I've put together just for subscribers
of this newsletter...
http://www.achievenetprofits.com/special/
There are quite a few products in there, all
up to 50% off. You're sure to find something
there to help you online.

This weeks interview snippet comes from Barry
Stein. At the start of this year, many people
began to take notice of Barry due to the
incredible success he was having using Google
Adwords to promote affiliate products.
Needless to say, with everyone taking notice
I decided I'd better interview him on what he
was doing :-)
In this snippet, Barry talks about how he
determines if a product he is testing with
Adwords is worth keeping, requires some work
with the ad or keywords, or should be
cancelled.
I test a new product for about 100
click throughs if I can get my keyword bids
for five to ten cents. If I have to pay
twenty cents or more to do my test then I
will only do a 50 click through test.
If a product gets a quick sale then I will
get more aggressive and slowly raise the bids
on my most relevant keywords so that they get
a higher position and more impressions.
After about 500 click throughs I will have
a good idea if the product will continue to
be profitable or if some early sales were
just a "fluke.'
And if it is profitable after about 500
click throughs then I will create it's own
campaign and create as many Ad groups as I
need to. I usually end up with anywhere from
two to seven Ad Groups.
After you get a real Affiliate Money Maker
(AMM) you will know how a profitable
affiliate product performs. You will make
sales within about 20-30 click throughs and
have a conversion rate of about 3-5%.

It seems so simple, doesn't it? And that's
the thing - because it's so simple, everyone
either a) doesn't do it, or b) doesn't think of
it! :-)
Barry gave some great tips in his interview
on using Google Adwords to promote affiliate
products. Definitely one of the interviews that
you can take away and use the info from straight
away to improve your online success.
Barry's interview is part of the collection
of 83 interviews, 264 downloads (many with
reprint rights), 24 discounts and 975 minutes of
training videos that are part of the membership
site. Join now by visiting http://www.achievenetprofits.com
(And remember, you pay only a once-off fee
for a lifetime membership!)
I hope you check it out.
Anyway, that's about it for me this week. I
hope you have a great week, and I'll see you
next week.
Cheers,
Jason
