In today’s episode I’ve got 5 headline templates for you to use in your blog posts, videos, and other content. These are simple templates but they’re all very effective. Hey, what’s up? Nate Rivers here. This is the Passive Profits Podcast, and this is Episode 23. In this episode, I’ve got five headline templates for you to use, and these are all very effective, work really well, and you can plug in the words that make sense based on the template for your topic and be off to the races. The first one that I’ve got is the “How to… without.” The way this works is you start off with “How to,” you add in the big benefit that people want or the result that people want – “How to Lose Weight” – and then you add “without.” The “without” part, you add the thing that’s bad about getting that result, that no one likes. So “How to Lose Weight without Giving Up Pizza.” Or you can add a “while still” variant, so “How to Lose Weight While Still Eating Pizza and Ch

This is a reader question I’ve been asked over 10 times in the last month in one form or another: Which is better? LeadPages or OptimizePress?

I was fixing up some of my old sites this week and I had to change some setting on one of my first sales videos. I made this video years ago, but without knowing I basically followed Ryan Deiss’s Video Sales Letter Formula. The only difference is, this video is terrible… but it still makes sales week after week.

If you’ve been getting my emails for awhile you’ve probably noticed at some point that I used Aweber. Like basically everyone else does. Aweber has been awesome and has made my business a lot of money. I remember the moment several years ago that I first signed up with Aweber. It was kind of a plunge… I didn’t want to sign up for a monthly fee but I knew I needed an auto responder service to continually generate sales. And having a real email service made all the difference. Let me give you the main email marketing cliches that are 100% true: the money is in the list I wish someone would have told me when I was starting to build a list from day one if you’re not building a list you’re not building a business So… yes, no matter what your method or model is, you should be building a list of email subscribers. Now, let’s move onto why I switched to GetResponse from Aweber… Why I Switched to GetResponse from Aweber There really wasn’t anything wrong wi

What’s the best online business model: Adsense sites? Blogging? Affiliate marketing? Info products? Kindle books? The answer is it doesn’t really matter. This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately… The first thing almost everyone does when they are starting an online business is they setup a website – whether you call it a blog or a static site, same thing – and they intend to create a lot of content and rely on search engine traffic and Adsense and/or affiliate links until the site starts “making some money”. That can work, and I’ve started sites that way, but the more experienced I’ve become it’s become clear that you are far better off to create something to sell upfront, and then create content and marketing around that. This can be a Kindle ebook or your own information product. In fact, if you haven’t done any of this I would definitely start with a Kindle ebook. Even a simple Kindle ebook at $2.99 gives you something t

In this post I am going to show you how to literally double your sales- maybe even more- in about 20 minutes of work. If you take some extra steps you can do even better. First, let me tell you a story that illustrates the power of this concept. I’m a little embarrassed I didn’t think of this sooner since this is my own story… but that’s how it goes sometimes. Here’s the story… Several years ago, I was a door-to-door pest control salesman. We would go to different cities, mostly across the South, and we would walk through neighborhoods all day long and try to sell a one-year pest control contract to homeowners. It was rough work, but for the guys that could hack it, it was pretty good money. These companies that trained us had gotten the sales pitch down to a science, so that as long as we delivered it how we were supposed to, we would sell close to 1 in 20 homeowners that we talked to. The guys that were good refined this further and could sell 1 in 8, sometimes a little b

She is waiting to read YOUR ebook. I’ve kind of come full circle on the idea of ebooks. Back in the day, my first “info product” of any kind was an ebook. I tried several formats for that information and it ended up being a video course, and for awhile video courses were all I created. Now I’m back to creating ebooks for the Kindle store and I love doing it. The Amazon Kindle platform has given everyone the opportunity to make money from publishing an ebook. Or ebooks. Why You Should Publish an Ebook on Kindle Before I get into the details of choosing a good topic for an ebook, I want to tell anyone reading this that you should publish an ebook on Kindle. You could have one done and published in the next two weeks, whether you write it yourself or have it outsourced. It’s not hard to do, and it’s great experience. It will take you through all the steps of publishing your own info product, but you don’t have to figure out your own delivery platform like you do when you

Email marketing is something I’m constantly telling my readers and customers that they should start doing, and if you’re not building a list and using email marketing… you should start. Email marketing works… It’s effective, it gets results, and it will generate sales… especially if you do it right. Getting subscribers and building lists all start with your opt-in page. Squeeze Pages vs Opt-in Pages You’ve probably heard the term “squeeze page” thrown around a lot, and maybe you’re wondering what the difference is between a squeeze page and an opt-in page. At the core- they’re the same thing. They are a page that is dedicated to getting someone to give you their email address. But, there are some differences to point out. A squeeze page is really just a type of opt-in page. A squeeze page typically has no navigation links, a few bullet points explaining the benefits of opting into the list, and then the actual opt-in form. Again, this is one wa

Do Affirmations and Positive Thinking Work?? I was looking through my journals from 2007 and I was a goal-writing maniac. The funny (or depressing) thing about reading back through that stuff is that I was making pretty lofty goals for the timeframes I was giving myself, and I wasn’t hitting any of them. I was also doing a lot of affirmation stuff and physically writing down affirmations everyday… such as, “I make $10k a month online…” But… the interesting thing is, a lot of my affirmations that I was saying back then, and most of my big goals that I set for myself back then I have now achieved, and even surpassed. If you read this post, then you know about my “goal pictures”. I actually haven’t updated that for a long time and I was looking back through it and it turns out I’ve bought every single one of my goal pictures in the last year… I didn’t even realize it… down to the exact model of car that I was opening up and looking at

Amazon Niche Selection – My 3 Most Important Lessons Learned I’ve learned a lot over the past couple years creating niche blogs that sell Amazon products. Perhaps the most important lesson was, don’t put the word ‘Kindle’ in a domain name…you’ll get your account shut down and all your accrued earnings held hostage for months, provided you can get them at all. Uh, okay…moving onto other lessons… Some (other) most important lessons I’ve learned about making money with Amazon Associates surround the process of selecting a niche. I personally found it difficult in the beginning to choose a niche that I felt comfortable with. Would I make any money with it? Would it be a waste of time? These are thoughts my mind wrestled with. The more I teach people, the more it seems we all think the same way about this. But it doesnâ€

In this interview, we have the pleasure of hearing from Jon Wedel, and 18 year old free traffic whiz. I recently picked up his course on getting free traffic I could tell that Jon is someone who has spent his time in the trenches learning and actually doing this… so I contacted him about an interview. Here it is: What got you interested in starting an online business and how did you get started? I started off when I was about 13 years old. I had seen people around me my whole life working hard at jobs to only be stuck paying bills. I decided that the lifestyle of trading my time away for money wasn’t for me, and looked for alternatives. I found internet marketing and decided that the lifestyle associated with it was perfect for me. I tried promoting a Clickbank product about shoulder pain. I did article marketing and tried to rank on Google for a bunch of different keywords. I never made any money from it and couldn’t figure out why. The end result? The product was total garbage, along with the
