UPDATE: No list, no product, 100k
OK, I have an update on Sterling’s launch…
But first, if you didn’t see my first post on this, you can read it at this link.
Yesterday I sent Sterling a quick email asking him to record a quick update for us. This was a pretty selfish request on my part, as Sterling is only about 24 hours out from his Product Launch - and I know exactly how busy he must be right now.
After going through approximately 25 launches myself, and helping out others on another 20 or so… well, I know that the last couple of days can be EXTREMELY busy.
Nevertheless, Sterling came through and recorded a quick update (it runs about 4 minutes).
As you listen to it, you will quickly hear that Sterling is a big fan of my Product Launch Formula course. But there are a couple of more important things I want you to focus on… first off, you can hear that Sterling is getting worn out. You can hear exhaustion in his voice.
Well, I have said this before - if you want to accomplish great things, then it takes a little effort. Sterlings goal is HUGE - he started with NO list, NO product, and NO partners… and he is trying to make $100k in 90 days.
If you want to achieve HUGE things like that, then it is going to take some effort. Anyone who tells you anything else is lying to you.
That isn’t to say you can’t have success without working yourself to death - but remember, Sterling set a HUGE goal. That takes effort.
OK, that is enough of the lecture mode… here is the recording:

would you guys stop proving how your “internet money making” system is working by showing how another “internet money making” system made money for its author by using your system? It’s getting boring…Sure there’s an never-ending flow of newbies who will lap it up - but hey, you are supposed to be the respectable cream of the crop.
Walk your talk - show us how someone used your Intenet marketing system to launch a potato slicer or whatever…

Hey Jeff,
Here’s the answer to the comment above… well sort of.
——————————————————
Hey Jeff,
As an online expert I thought you may be interested in my little story on how I sold my pups using internet marketing and video..??
Anyhow… to get some lowdown and background go to …
www.AustralianCattleDogs.com.au/puppy-blog
and to…
www.AustralianCattleDogs.com.au/australian-cattle-dog-puppies-for-sale.htm
…to check out the blog and the sales page on which you’ll see the photos and video … and the selling - subliminally of course to start with.
Ohh.. you may also want to check out….
www.ACDPuppy.com/index.htm - current google landing page
www.ACDPuppy.com/index1.htm - early notice list personal invitation
www.ACDPuppy.com/indexe.htm - early notice list official release
www.ACDPuppy.com/invite-only.htm - before release to the early notification list for people who were desperate to make sure they got one.
Unfortunately I can’t say I’ve used the ‘website video secrets’ course - ’cause I haven’t been able to afford it yet - *although* I have been applying things I know that are taught on it. But after reviewing Mike Stewart’s videos, Jim Edward’s and others whom I know have the course materials and with a lot of trial and error I was able to put my videos together. And of course I have a background in music and home recording too as a professional muso and songwriter that helps.
To cut a long story short though…
Last litter - 2005 - I sold 3 of 8 pups on the internet after some google ads but mainly they were sold by newspaper and offline adverts - as usual. Maximum price in 2005 was $385 for females and $330 for males. Took us only 8 days to sell them all.
This litter 2006 - after selling 3 online last year I left the ad on google run for a little while around two weeks after selling the pups in 2005 and then made sure my web pages had basic good SEO keywords on them. I didn’t spend too much time - I’m no expert.
I found after a while I was getting a little traffic to my site (mainly through yahoo and msn)and generating a small list of interested people who after signing up for my free e-course (to be able to access the site
they would then sign up on my early puppy notification list.
I did a very very rough and basic pre-launch (ala Jeff Walker - who’s course I don’t own yet but will one day) after following some things I picked up from people I know who’ve used Jeff’s techniques to sell to me.
After setting up the blog I had all intentions of putting every little bit of video and the photos I took up on it (again I didn’t have the hours in the day to do so) and will get them all up one day soon.
MY POINT…. I ramble a bit - sorry…
Of the 8 purebred (not pedigreed) Australian Cattle Dog puppies (Blue Heelers) we had for sale I have sold 7 of them (so far) at a premium price online ($440 females and $385 males) where they normally sell for between $100 to $250 (max) offline. Pedigree ACD pups sell with pedigree for anywhere from $400 up to $2000 - ours are *only purebred*, NO pedigrees!
They also went all over Australia. I am in Victoria and they went to Western Australia (other side of the country), Queensland (other end), Victoria and New South Wales - 4 of them by plane. This has never happened to us before! Usually they sell to Melbourne (2 hours) or within a radius up to 4 hours away from us, sometimes a little farther.
Get this … as of yesterday I hadn’t even advertised them ANYWHERE! And my list size was only 32 people (early list) initially and then 380 people on my main list.
On the 32 list I pre-sold them 5 puppies. On the 380 list I sold 2 puppies.
I still have one male puppy left to sell and I have just yesterday started google adverts.
I may also run one newspaper advert but am yet to do so.
Get this … Not one person tried to barter the price.
Of the 5 sold from the early list - 4 people paid a deposit at 5 weeks old within a day or two of telling them they were for sale and the other 2 paid in full less than a week later. Before they were 8 weeks old the other puppy was sold - 7 in total.
And now we have one to go at 9 weeks old.
Mind you as responsible breeders we do not let the pups go until they are 8 weeks old.
In summary, the reasons for this success…
1) The biggest reason is Online VIDEO. I had video on the blog and video on the sales page of each puppy and as a group.
Every one of the people who purchased said they chose their puppy from the videos and thought it was a fantastic way to go! (Surprise surprise - Gomer Pyle)
I felt these other factors played a part and helped too…
2) Anticipation and build up - although done very roughly - like a product launch re Jeff Walker.
3) Guarantee - no other pedigree or purebred breeder offers our lifetime genetic default guarantee. See it on the sales page …
www.AustralianCattleDogs.com.au/australian-cattle-dog-puppies-for-sale.htm
4) I called and spoke with people whenever I felt they were serious or they wanted to speak with me. Definitely this helped to close sales. So personal touch is still a neccessity.
So there you go. I am also in the process of putting up another little video of the last puppy for a lady who requested it last week but I’ve had broadband problems this last week and a half. This last puppy may be sold sooner than expected.
NOW… if you want to do a video interview with me… I would love too. Just email me your questions and I’ll set up out in the yard with the dogs and answer them for you as if we were talking via a live satellite link - ear piece and all
. I’ll post them on my website or by email for you to download as an avi file and then you can edit them together as if we’re on the live video hook up.
It would be great to do this now as I still have the last puppy here and I can put him on the video interview too so people know what I was selling.
So let me know your thoughts and let’s see if we can’t get it done to show people you don’t need to be an expert to sell things via video on the net.

Brian Lord (aka Stan)

Masteraffiliate,
Lots of people have launched in all kinds of different niches having nothing to do with Internet marketing. Here are five video Case Studies of launches that have NOTHING to do with Internet marketing:

Hello Jeff,
Ryan here in Canada. I have been following your blog for the last few months and have read many articles and read your casestudies and video about those who have used your product launch formular to launch products.
I know you must get a lot of email but I hope you will find the time to write me back. I am not writing you for a hand out or anything like that I just had a couple of questions. I felt that I can ask you because you seem so excited and eager to help people succeed and are so happy to see people dramatically change thier lives when they implement PLF.
I have been saving my money so that I can afford to purchase the product. I have an ebook I am working on for the college market. It is not related to making money and I truly believe I will be able to help a lot of people but I have no list or JV partners. I am getting the impression that most JV partners won’t touch you with a 10 foot pole unless you meet them at a seminar or are referred to them by one of their friends.
So if you don’t have a list of your own you are out of luck and if you can’t get an in with one of them you are stumped as well. JV’s are not that easy to come by as most internet marketers I have seen will only jump on if it is a high ticketed product where they know the pay out will be high or if it s a money making product that they can somehow leverage.
Anyhow I am really enjoying your emails and when I watch the videos or hear the audio it gets me excited too. I want to he the one that you end up talking about in an email. I am working towards that short term goal. I see people reselling your product on ebay and since $$ is tight I was thinking of getting a copy from them but I wonder if I will be missing out because I guess you provide more than what’s in the package correct?
Thanks for your time Jeff!
Ryan

Ryan,
Yes, there is a lot more that isn’t in the package… in fact, at this moment there are 28 different unannounced bonuses that aren’t listed in the sales page.
And these aren’t lame e-books that everyone has. They are all unique bonuses that I created.
These are available to PLF Owners via download. And I continue to add to that list, as well as hold additional content calls for my PLF Owners.
Of course, those bonuses aren’t available if you buy via ebay.
best regards,
Jeff
