Michael Rasmussen's "Mini Site Profits Exposed" Video Series: How To Create A Mini Site That Runs On Autopilot And Makes You Money While You Sleep!

Most Internet marketers understand that having mini sites is the fastest and easiest way to make money online. They don't require a lot of time, energy, or money to set up, and once you've got one up and running, you can sit back and just collect money from all the sales you're making.
At least... that's how it's supposed to be, right?
The truth is that mini sites really ARE easy to set up. They really DON'T require much time, energy, and money to set up. So why is it that so few people actually make money with their mini sites?
The answer is that they never learned how to actually turn their mini site into a profitable moneymaker that runs completely on autopilot. The good news is...
*************************************************
YOU'RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!
*************************************************

Here's what this is all about: My colleague Michael Rasmussen has just released a brand new video course that will walk you through the process of creating a killer mini site from the ground up, and then he'll also teach you how to actually start making money with it right away and into the future.
If you've been looking for help with monetizing your mini sites, then this is exactly what you need. The best part? The videos are FREE! I'll tell you more about that later. First, let's talk about the videos themselves.

*************************************************
OVERALL QUALITY
*************************************************

It's important to note that these are online videos that you access from your web browser. Michael uses Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the premier software program for creating screen capture tutorials such as these.
The first thing I noticed when I hit the play button on the first video was the incredible production quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture videos. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen someone make videos that are this high quality before.
He uses beautifully created graphics to pass his wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is the
highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing product. They sound like they were recorded in a professional studio.

Michael explained to me that he was sick and tired of seeing all the low quality videos out there, and so he set out to create something different in order to raise the bar in our industry. I think that, when you see Mini Site Profits Exposed for yourself, you'll agree that he has succeeded.
Now let's move onto...
*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************

Here's a brief summary of each video. Obviously it's impossible to list every single thing here,
but I want you to get a feel for what each one covered, and how well it covered it.

If you're in a hurry, you can just check the videos out right now for free. Here's the URL:

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION
This videos introduces you to the entire course, as well as the teacher himself. You'll learn what you can expect from the course, and why it's structured the way it is.
Michael realizes that you may not have heard of him, and so he spends some time establishing his
credibility with you by sharing some of his biggest successes. It doesn't come across as bragging at all. Michael explains that, in order for you to get value from the teachings, you need to have faith that the teacher actually knows what he's talking about. By the end of this video, you will have no doubt.

By the way, this is a good lesson for all of us product developers. If you want people to accept you
as an authority on any subject, you first need to establish your credibility with the reader. That way he's willing to relax, and trust that what you're telling him is sound advice.

VIDEO 2 - THE BASICS
This video will introduce you to the basics of mini site marketing. This will set the foundation that all future learning will rest upon, so it's important to pay close attention to this one.
You'll learn:
* What mini-sites are, and what makes them different from regular content sites.
* Which businesses they work well for… and which ones they don’t.
* The right mindset to have when it comes to creating mini sites as part of your online business strategy.
* And the different tools you need to get started.
This was a great video, and did an excellent job of kicking things off, and building the foundation for the rest of the course.
VIDEO 3 - SQUEEZE PAGES
This is probably one of the most useful videos of the entire course. Every Internet marketer needs to build an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best way to capture the most opt-ins?
The answer is 'squeeze pages'. This video will teach you:
* Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other opt-in methods.
* The single most important thing you must include at the top of your squeeze page to skyrocket your opt-in rate.
* The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most marketers get it wrong (which costs them a LOT of money).
* The most important to include in your opt-in process that will make sure that people actually receive your email.
After watching this video, you'll know everything you need to know to start building a massive opt-in list right away. This will probably be the first video that you 'take action' on. You'll be so excited about the possibilities, that I guarantee you'll go and create your own squeeze page right away.
VIDEO 4 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART
ONE

Nothing happens until the sales copy is written. Graphics alone will never sell a product, but sales
copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the mysterious process of writing words that make people whip out their credit cards and buy.

Specifically, you'll learn:
* Why you need to learn copywriting, even if you “hate to write”
* What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell the difference.
* How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that practically forces your readers to go through your
entire page.

* A simple trick you can use in your opening to make your reader want to learn more.
There is no skill that is more important to your success than the ability to write killer sales copy.
Make sure you pay extra attention to this video, as well as...

VIDEO 5 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART
TWO

This video dives right into the individual components of a killer sales letter. You'll learn how to create the "secret structure" of a mini site sales letter that makes big money. Specifically, you'll learn:
* How to create captivating body copy that draws your reader into the sales letter.
* Bullets that force your reader to keep reading the whole page, and makes them insanely curious and want to buy your product
* How to take the risk off people's shoulders, so they'll feel safe buying from you.
* How to craft your 'call to action', and get people to whip out their credit cards and buy immediately.
* The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal the deal, and flip your prospect into a buyer
instantly.

This video covered a surprising amount of detail, especially considering that this course is not
specifically about copywriting. Michael Rasmussen is definitely someone who overdelivers in his educational products.

VIDEO 6 - HOW TO AUTOMATE THE
DELIVERY OF YOUR INFOPRODUCT

Unless you want to be chained to your computer, you must learn how to put your mini sites on autopilot. The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic, and letting the site itself do all the work, including the work of instantly delivering the product to the customer.
This video will walk you through the process of automating your product delivery, so you can just
relax, and collect the money. The best part is... once you have this automated system set up, you never have to touch it again.

VIDEO 7 - HOW TO "GROW" YOUR SALE
This video is guaranteed to be an eye opener for almost everyone who watches it, even the experienced marketers. Michael dives into some of the most effective 'upselling' techniques that I've ever seen.
Nowhere else on the Internet have I seen such a thorough tutorial on how to increase the 'size' of
your orders. You'll learn:

* The psychology of 'upselling', and how to use it make your customer spend even more money with you. The best part? He'll think it was his idea!
* The absolute best time to upsell your customer. This one will surprise you when you realize how much money you've been leaving on the table by skipping this step.
* 5 simple techniques to increase your profit by up to 100%.
If you've already got a mini site that's up and running, this video will make a big difference for you right away. Use any of these 'plug and profit' strategies to increase your income literally
overnight!

VIDEO 8 - CREATING AN AFFILIATE SALES FORCE
If there's one thing I've noticed that all successful marketers have in common, it's that they have a great affiliate program. They create a program that allows other people to make good money by promoting their products, and they get to just sit back and relax, while everyone else is doing the hard work of promoting FOR them.
If you've ever dreamed of having an army of motivated sales people working hard to make you money, then you're going to love this video. Michael will teach you:
* What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up very quickly.
* Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates (most people miss the mark here, so pay extra attention to this part).
* Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough to convince people to sign up, and what you can do instead to have people eagerly trying to become one of your affiliates.
* How to motivate affiliates to sell for you.
VIDEO 9 - MINI SITE MISTAKES TO AVOID
Let's face it... it's not enough to explain what you should do. You also need to know what mistakes you should avoid. Michael has already made these costly mistakes, but you don't have to. You'll learn:
- Why people do judge a book by its cover... and how to capitalize on that for your mini-site
- The single biggest reason people don’t buy from a mini site, and how you can apply this 'instant fix'.
- The single biggest thing that will kill your mini-site (it's not what you think, and making this
mistake is a surefire way to drain money from your bank account FAST!)

- Two list building mistakes that’ll cripple your long-term profits.
VIDEO 10 - SECRETS OF CREATING A PRODUCT FUNNEL
This video will walk you through the process of designing a product line that will make you a TON of money. There's a lot more to it than you'd think, which is why this important concept (which was taken from direct marketing) gets it's own video.
After watching this video, you'll understand why you can't just have a single front end product, and you'll know exactly what to do in order to get your customer to keep buying more and more expensive products from you... completely on autopilot!
This video is a MUST for any serious marketer who wants to make a lot of money from their online business.
VIDEO 11 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE
The title of this video says it all. You'll learn all of Michael's secrets for getting top notch
freelancers to help you create your mini site empire in record time.

Let's face it, you can't be an expert at everything that mini sites require. For example, it's really
tough to be a top notch graphic designer, while also mastering HTML, and then becoming a killer
copywriter, on top of also creating the product itself.

And the list goes on and on. If you want to be efficient, and begin making money as fast as possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it happen. This video will show you exactly what to do, as well as some common (and very expensive) pitfalls to avoid.
VIDEO 12 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE
Let's face it... it doesn't matter how great your mini site is if you don't get any traffic coming to
it. Getting traffic can be one of the most confusing and mysterious parts of making money online IF you don't get the proper education.

Thankfully, Michael really dives in, and gives you a lightning fast education in this area. Specifically, you'll learn:
* How to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to get targeted traffic fast.
* 3 ways to get targeted traffic without spending a dime.
* 2 ways to leverage the experience and contacts of other people to explode your traffic.
* 3 traffic strategies to avoid like the plague!
By the time you're done with this video, you'll know what to do right away to begin driving targeted visitors to your mini site.

The Best Web 2.0 Site For Ranking

Got an email from Travis Sago today recommending two things:

1) That Squidoo is the best site to write articles on because not only do they allow affiliate hoplinks but also because they rank as good if not better than Ezine Articles. Have not tested it yet but am really keeen to try. I'll probably you it for my resume writing niche.

2) He suggested that the keyword phrase should be written twice in the content title. This will get it ranked faster and better.

Can't wait to try it.

My Site Position

I've posted two sites already on the two niches I'm working on. One is Resume & Cover Letters and the other is Vegetable Garden.

My Resume site was posted on Squidoo two days ago and is ranked at no 11 and 47 exact match. I can't find the broad match.

My Vegetable Garden site is hosted at Hubpages and is ranked at #1 exact match and #3 broad match after only 4 hours!!!! I can't believe it.
