First of all – I want to thank many of you for requesting our free Life Mastery Labs article marketing mastery manifesto, and for so many of the great emails, nice comments and follow up questions that came as a consequence.
After a bit of a hiatus away from regularly posting to this particular blog ( actually not THAT long…just a few months or so) I decided it was a good time to revisit my primary passion and true love online – working with, coaching and helping other people succeed.
There is nothing more rewarding and gratifying, in my view, than getting unsolicited "thank you" email from people I’ll probably never meet, never interact with one on one or never even "speak" to again…….but to know that you’ve helped them in some way, or been instrumental in their success, or even simply touched their lives in a positive way is a very gratifying thing.
So thanks for all the great feedback – and even the constructive critiques have been helpful in adding perspective, dimension and depth to what’s coming next.
Which is……
Crash CASH Creation Q & A - a Free FICTIONLESS Blueprint for Anyone (and everyone) Who Craves Push Button Profits, Wants To Leap Frog the Learning Curve, is sick and tired of the goofy gurus with bad haircuts and mediocre minds & Finally Wants to Master the Online Marketing Maze Quickly, Easily and Ethically Once and For ALL.
What is it?
Very simple. I have taken ALL of the very best questions I’ve gotten over the past two months or so since writing the very first article marketing report, organized them by topic, and turned them into a very powerful Q and A sequence that WILL cast a bright and beautiful light on many of the simple strategies that so many people are struggling with.
No matter where you are on the internet marketing totem pole, I promise I will take you by the hand and simply DECIMATE the theoretical and hypothetical hyperbole that so much of the online marketing machine creates to confuse you.
Instead – I’m going to share the very same strategic systems I put in place in my own business, I’ll show you my scintillating success’s, my failures and flops and most importantly, what I’ve learned from both.
Here is just a little bit of what YOU asked for…….and we are going to cover with each daily mini morsel of marketing magic….

Ian,
I loved your first offering! I can’t wait for your next!
Thanks a ton,
Jimmy
Thank you, Jimmy – nice of you to say!
Nice to know that someone out there is willing to look after the interests of others and for…Free! Nice one Ian
John
I loved the article marketing report. Just by using one of your title tricks I’ve managed to make them much more compelling. Thank you for that.
I am looking forward to your future writings and learning opportunities. Very refreshing indeed!
Thanks John and Scott –
Glad to help!
I am interested in what you are saying. I am hoping to read some really good stuff in the future. Thanks.
Hi,
I have enjoyed your article report, hope to hear more good stuff as I will start a new campaign in article marketing. I was surprised that you recommend using direct linking, guess that you are the first one to hear that…Also, do you use direct linking for CJ advertisers or just with Clickbank?
Thanks,
Roxana
Hi Roxanna –
Thanks..:-) The first piece of the sequence on article marketing ( which you should have in a day or two) addresses this in more detail – I dont’ recommend direct linking per se – rather – a piece of my business uses root level redirects ONLY for article marketing campaigns – but it’s certainly not best practice – or the primary way to build an online business the right way. I covered this at some length in the very first Crash Cash Q and A – so hopefully that will clarify a bit better what I’m saying badly here..:-) Thanks for reading!
Mr. Ian,
Thank you so much for the last report. I have read it twice and am putting the part in action tomorrow. The part about opting into their AR sequence and borrow the content. “Genius!” I have had a sticking point for that reason alone. Thanks for busting the dam open!
Don’t worry, not gonna do the “word for word” thing. That’s just wrong! I’ll make it my own. Thanks again Ian!
Steven
PS: I’ll also use the rest of the info about article marketing to! Thanks!
You’re welcome Steven – thanks for the comment!
So far, I’ve been really impressed with your generosity. Your ezine tutorial is packed with interesting stuff, some of which I’m still having a hard time to understand. I need to get more involved with actually “doing it” to become more familiar with the lingo. Seems like your blog posts have caused a mental shift for me – from studying like crazy every night to planning some real action to generate income. (I finally started writing my long-overdue ebook.) So, thanks for the inspiration, Ian. I’m looking forward to your next posts.
Thank you, Chef Keem – I appreciate it!
Appreciate the free info. A breath of fresh air in the affiliate marketing world. Do you use mainly article marketing? Are CJ and Linkshare actually more profitable than ClickBank? Most teach that Click Bank is the way to go why do you disagree?
Hi Jake – thanks – and yes, I do believe that CJ style offers are much better long term, for your business. I promote plenty of stuff on click bank, and yes, there are obviously tons of people who do really well with those style offers, and yes, I think it’s probably the best place to start. Clickbank has some issues though that other products don’t have – insofar as lots of of the products are complete garbage for starters – – have a refund rate that can retroactively bite your affiliate ass 57 days after you’ve paid your adwords bill for sales generated 2 months earlier, etc, and don’t – in my view – dovetail with a marketing strategy that targets the broadest piece of the population – i.e. – medifast diet (CJ and mainstream network) Fatloss4idiots (clickbank) – How to teach your dog to sit, stay, and fetch (clickbank) – versus – a catalog feed of 500 natural products/foods/etc for your pets (CJ/Linkshare/etc)
That’s just my preference – plenty of people have made fortunes on Clickbank – it’s certainly a fine place to sell stuff. No – I don’t do all article marketing – articles are simply, in my view – the starting point for buiding out a network of stuff – i.e. – your landing pages, your social networkign campaigns, your blogs, your feeder style sites, I look at the articles as an ASSET, and then try to creatively come up with interesting wys to get them to “grow”. (ps – I think i need a spell check for my comments form..;-)
Great article marketing report. All of my previous articles combined didn’t get the kind of response that you mentioned. I am looking forward to making the changes you suggest and writing some articles this week.
Bob
Also greatly looking forward to what is coming next.
Thanks, Bob – I appreciate it!
I can’t wait. Is it possible for you to offer something the equal of what you already have! (for free)? Sorry, it’s just hard to believe. But, I have the funny feeling you will.
Best ever
Thank you Beatrice – nice of you to say!
Your free report was killer, one of the rare ones with solid strategies. I intend to apply them ASAP.
Thanks, Alan!
Will be really interesting to see this stuff unfold.
I think the article report pdf was an excellent bit of work and held some solid information……….hmm
