I’m thinking this is a winning formula not just for article resource boxes but also for ads.

I managed to achieve a 10% clickthrough rate once, now maybe I’ll be able to bump that up a bit.

Thank you.

Thank you, Blair – nice of you to say, and I appreciate it! (and while I’m a big fan of taking credit for stuff – in this case – lots of people have probably been testing resource boxes long before I started article marketing – although I’m definitely the first to recommend using paris hilton pictures when things get desperate..:-)

Ian, I made my way here via PotPieGirl’s eBook “One Week Marketing” (no affiliate link — just giving credit where it’s due) and found your writing style a breath of fresh air. The strategy of split-testing resource boxes is ingenious at the least and potentially a “killer app” at best. Funny: we get split-testing hammered into our heads when learning PPC, but I never thought to apply it to resource boxes. Kudos. You could have sold that strategy in a $47 eBook and felt good about yourself ; – )

Thanks Raymond – just take some number (like 3 or 7) and attach a LIE or something that “they” are laughing at “you” about – and use a big outrageous sort of adjective to exacerbate the fraud this group is comitting – and you have the basic framework for a killer resource box that compels, challenges and cajoles the reader to want to learn more. (in other words – just look at the latest “guru” launch – pick any random way that they are fucking over the average person – and you’ve got your enemy – and a whole bunch of illuminating ways to illustrate that as well)

If not – you can always use naked Paris Hilton pictures if you’ve got them. Although, any of the Kardashian sisters, at this point – are a better investment. Alternatively – if you just need a super small bump – getting your hands on some naked Mike Filsaime pictures might be best. (no pun intended)

This is my first time to comment and you are one of the few Internet marketers that I really follow. Your tips are really useful and they’re worth more than the expensive IM e-books around.

I’m having a bit of an issue with my resource boxes. Can you please provide an example on how to challenge a common belief in making money online and how to put an outrageous number to it?

I’m really desperate and anytime soon I’ll have to use naked pictures of Paris to get some CTR! hehehe.

Thanks Ian!

Hi Ian,
Just wanted you to know that yours is one of the very, very few emails I get where I actually will go to read the blog. I appreciate your pearls of wisdom and thank you for not trying to sell us something a million times a week.
Keep it up, you DO have a following.

Thanks,
LC
