I’m just getting ready to email my subscribers about some brand-new career-related PLR, but wanted to post a sample of the content here. This is GOOD stuff!

First, here’s the email text going out in just a little bit:

—- START EMAIL —-

As you probably already know, I am quite fond of private
label rights (PLR) content and make use of it in my own
business. The potential and flexibility PLR gives me is
something I sing the praises of often (and not just because
I happen to co-own AllPrivateLabelContent.com).

With the help of private label rights content, I’m able to
spend less time and money creating content from scratch for
my websites and use those resources where they are more
important -> marketing my business.

But…

PLR is only able to do that if it’s QUALITY material. What
I mean by that is that it’s well-written, informative
information that my visitors can make use of.
Unfortunately, it’s not easy finding that type of quality in
PLR on the web, so when I do come across it I want to make
sure and pass it on to you.

So, if you are in the career market or provide self-
improvement information to your customers or clients, I
think you’ll find this PLR site refreshing.

Heather Eagar, job searching expert and former professional
resume writer, has put together a monthly PLR resource that
meets my personal high expectations of PLR sites. Get
Career Content is a membership site that offers it’s members
the following:

30 PLR articles in the following areas:

-> Education, Career Management & Planning
-> Interviewing, Networking & Follow-Up
-> Resume & Cover Letter Writing
-> Salary, Benefits & Negotiation

Daily Career Tips to help bring your visitors back over and
over again. There’s even a nifty script that makes putting
them on your site super easy!

Members also have access to:

-> Member’s Only Forum
-> Resource Center full of products and services to move
your business to the next level
-> Employment Trends & Facts

Check it out here:

-> Get Career Content

…and get in before the spots fill up.

It’s yours to use on your website, in your emails…wherever you use PLR content.

Here’s something you might be interested in getting involved with:

Dr.Mani Sivasubramanian, heart surgeon, webmaster of ‘Heart Disease Online’ and honorary Internet Marketing Sweetie has joined an effort to spread awareness and help children with heart birth defects receive life-saving treatment.

Right now, he’s working on…

A Day For Hearts: Congenital Heart Defects Awareness Day

This is a global publicity event that focuses attention on the deadly problem of heart defects in kids. The aim is to spread awareness and raise funds to help some children get a chance to live.

There is more information here.

100% of the funds raised goes towards treating *heart kids* in Dr. Mani’s home country of India and this is done in the most cost-effective manner, by funding treatment at centers of excellence with lowest expense.

The encouraging thing, it doesn’t take a fortune to get heart defects treated. In fact heart surgery can be done for as little as $3,000 in India.

Now imagine the power you have. If you and a few hundred more people like you help with as much as you can, we will easily raise enough to help many children. And if each one tells five more friends to do the same, the impact will be greater.

You can save a child’s life - literally.

Mark your calendar now, because Frank Kern is putting one impressive webinar this Thursday (thank GOODNESS…not another video!)….and he’s going to be sharing more of his brilliant “Mass Control” techniques.

Link is here:
-> Click it here

BUT what caught my attention is that it’s not just Frank, but he’s got Eben Pagan (aka David DeAngelo), of “Double Your Dating” fame on board for this one.

I first heard about how brilliant the guy behind “Double Your Dating” was about 4 years ago. Everyone was raving about the ingenious marketing and just how WELL the company was doing in the dating market market. I mean they were and continue to do REALLY, REALLY well.

So back then, on a whim I hopped over to see what this “Double Your Dating” was all about. The target audience is single guys looking to be more attractive to women. Clearly, I am not that target, but I was IMMEDIATELY sucked in by the conversational, empathetic and yet very persuasive tone. They had me opting in right away and nearly ordering the first product…and I had absolutely no use for it! It was something else I tell you and since then I’ve paid attention when I heard Eben’s name mentioned.

Problem is, his name is often mentioned in conjunction with very high-priced seminars that require travel…so this Thursday’s freebie from the comfort of your home is something jump all over to take advantage of.

Frank may be the one guiding all the mass control teachings, but you can bet both of them are going to share some pretty amazing insight and stories.

The webinar / call is this Thursday at 6:30 Pacific Standard Time and I’ve already registered myself.

It’s your turn to register now:

I don’t know for sure, but I’m guessing that if you can’t attend live (like…for example, if you’re on the East Coast and you’ll be half way through the season premier of LOST), you’ll probably get the recordings…so most definitely sign up.

Me, I’m a West Coast gal, so the timing is perfect for me. Still, I hope you can make it.

Last night, Armand Morin held a teleseminar on driving traffic. It was free and if you were on his notification list, you would have received an invite.

But don’t worry, it’s not that exclusive…

If you didn’t get an invite, you can listen to the call online now. I just finished listening in and it’s got some decent stuff and it’s actually quite motivational.

Besides Armand’s admission that he’s not the “sharpest tool in the shed” (I don’t believe that!), he also talks about:

-> Article Marketing: Why it’s a long-lasting promotional plan and why you shouldn’t worry about duplicate content.

-> The Holy Crap Factor: How to get people to talk about you and your products, without any compensation.

-> Building Your Affiliate Force: Very solid advice here…and some good motivation to stop being a wimp with your own affiliate program.

-> Conversion Tips: Your traffic is no good if you don’t convert to sales. He provides some very practical tips to start using on your site right away.

-> Writing Sales Letter: He has some practical tips to help you put together sales letter without so much headache.

Now, those were Armand’s thoughts. Listen to the call and then here are my 3 thoughts on some of the things Armand had to say:

1. Just a clarification on Armand’s thoughts on duplicate content. I agree that duplicate content isn’t as big an issue as as people sometimes make it out to be, but if you want the official wording from Google (which he just paraphrased), here is a snippet:

“Duplicate content on a site is not grounds for action on that site unless it appears that the intent of the duplicate content is to be deceptive and manipulate search engine results. If your site suffers from duplicate content issues, and you don’t follow the advice listed above, we do a good job of choosing a version of the content to show in our search results.”

And Google has now dedicated a full page to the discussion of duplicate content that will help you ensure the content you want shown to search engine visitors stays indexed in Google:

-> Google’s Definition of Duplicate Content

It is definitely worth reading through as it will likely ease some of your fears and help you approach the issue of duplicate content.

2. Your Affiliate Program Doesn’t Run Itself. I think that’s one of the main points Armand was trying to make about getting your affiliate program going - and I absolutely agree. Now, that doesn’t mean you have to be a slave to your affiliate program, but if you’ve set one up…do something about it. Contact people, train your affiliates and get them motivated. If you’re guilty of only putting a link to your affiliate program at the bottom of your page, now IS the time to get things in gear.

3. Here’s another perspective on asking your readers to buy more than once in a sales letter. I have seen differing advice on this and obviously, the answer is to test your own results - but I do find it interesting that two people who test A LOT and are famous for improving conversions have differing advice.

John Reese insists that it’s a mistake to ask more than once in a sales letter. His opinion is based on testing, but his logic is that putting a sales link too early in the letter can kill a sale. In other words, you’re asking for the sale before you’ve done your job of convincing your potential customer.

Again - how do you know what you should do? Test it.

Overall, Armand provides some very useful strategies that are easy-to-implement and after listening, you should have at least a few action plans to start improving things for your business.

If you’ve listened, please feel free to share your takeaways or thoughts.

A quick thanks to those who picked up my email strategies guide on the weekend. I know it’s a topic that people really want the inside information on and it was great to be able to share some of the strategies I’ve perfected (and helped others perfect) over the years.

If you missed the guide (it IS off the market), no worries because coincidentally Frank Kern as released his latest video on the very topic.

And don’t worry, if you LOATHE video the way I do (sorry, Frank), this is a very good LISTEN. Last night when he put the video up, I just popped the headphones in my ear and listened while I did some tedious work of updating a site design.

The site design work I was doing was boooooooring, but Frank’s insight into gaining a following with your mailing list was FANTASTIC.

In this latest video on seductive selling he shows:

-> How selling via email is as powerful as face-to-face selling, without having to do it face-to-face.

-> Engaging your readers into a conversation and adapting to communicate with them for even more results.

-> Defining your own email marketing character that helps develop a profitable affinity with your readers.

-> Cleverly overcoming objections to your products, which makes your readers appreciate you even more.

…and a bunch of other great stuff you can watch or listen to right now

WARNING:Frank actually has a few comments in there some
people might find offensive. Not foul language (that I recall) but some crude jokes and a comment on war, so if you’re sensitive to that - be warned.

Having been familiar with Frank for a couple of years and knowing the good ol’ Southern boy he is at heart, I let it slide and took it with the harmless intent he made them with.

So why is it that all the great information seems to be in video format lately? I guess I gotta get with the times…LOL. Anyway, I’ve been meaning to check out Frank Kern’s How to Build a List That Gives You Money Forever for a couple days and finally took the time to do it.
