OK, I opened my big mouth one too many times. Sort of. This time, however, I didn’t say a single word; I simply started typing.
And here’s what came out.
Yeah. I’d better have a product ready by Sunday or the “shtuff” is going to hit the proverbial fan.
My comment is #2 on Marlon’s blog. You’ll notice a link there. It will be a redirect link. I have until Sunday to actually get the thing working or Marlon Sanders has my permission to basically make an example out of me.
Now if you know Marlon, you know that he’s a great guy. He also has a wicked sense of humor. I actually saw him upstage professional actors at a dinner party in 2006. Unrehearsed. So I’m not about to let him turn that sharp wit and scathing sense of humor loose on me.
But that’s not my main motivation (I simply put my comments on his blog post to further motivate me). I know that getting this done represents an opportunity for me in so many ways. I’m confident that I’ll get a couple of clicks from Marlon’s blog and that I’ll make a few dollars from the product — a product that anybody who sells a digital product needs because I’m going to show you some ways to stop digital product thieves from finding your products. And it’s going to help get me into “product creation mode”, something I sorely need to be doing.
I’ve been visiting some underground forums where your digital products are swapped, and to be quite honest, those people don’t want to buy your product; they just want to give it away and swap it (at least that’s my opinion; I’m also aware that all it would take is for one miscreant to buy your product and post it…). I’m going to tell you some good ways to protect your digital downloads. Yeah, it’s going to be a bit inconvenient and require a little W-O-R-K, but if you have a $47 product and you make even one extra sale a week from implementing these techniques, is it worth the $188 a month to you? I wouldn’t say “no” to that!
So here’s the deal: There will be a product for sale at the link in that blog post by Sunday, April 19 (I read Marlon’s post last Sunday and gave myself seven days). Of course, as always, I’ll keep my promise and offer that product to my mailing list subscribers at a substantially reduced price for a short period of time before the official release.
But since I’m on an extremely tight time schedule, it really is going to be a VERY SHORT period of time — probably just a few hours. I can guarantee you that it will be done by midnight on Saturday (US Eastern Time).
So go ahead. Read that blog post. Print it out (I did). Study it. Mark it up. It contains a formula for creating a quick product. Is it going to be perfect? Probably not, but it will be closer to “perfect” than the product you never created.
Here’s what you need to do:
1. Read Marlon’s blog post and consider doing what it says. Heck, if his post and this post gets you to take action and you create a product by this time next week (we’ll say by Midnight, East Coast Time, next Tuesday), I’ll buy a copy. If it’s good and if you do everything Marlon’s post says that you need to do (in other words, if it has an affiliate program), I’ll promote it on this blog and in my newsletter.
2. Sign up for my mailing list (see the sign-up box at the top right of the main blog page. If you don’t see the sign up box, click on the banner at the top of any blog page to get there). Watch for an email, probably some time late Friday or early Saturday, to learn how you can pick up a copy of this new product for a few hours at a price you won’t find anywhere else.
