The Shaffer Digest

If you have been on my list for a while you will know that very occasionally I go against all of the rules of writing an email.

Mr. X calls it “The One Thing”.

When you are writing something or creating a web-page or perhaps
anything in life, you should always go after “The One Thing”. What
that means, is trying to get somebody to do just one thing. This is
effective because it means that you can focus all of your efforts
in just one direction.

Today, I am going to do the opposite. In a monthly period, I
receive probably over 100 emails and helpdesk tickets asking me to
act as an affiliate or a JV Partner. Although I would genuinely
love to help everybody who asks, in the vast majority of cases I
have to say No. This may be due to timing, relevancy or quality.

So, I present to you my review of about 10 different products which
I have either signed up for or downloaded in the last few days. I
have tried to include a number of free products also, so even if
your Paypal account is empty please do continue reading. Many of
the products are aimed towards the less experienced marketer.

I would also appreciate it if you could leave a comment on my blog
letting me know if you like this digest format once in a while.

So in no particular order:

*****
1. The Lazy Git

I am not convinced that this ebook got the right balance between
less and more experienced marketers as on one hand, you do need to
have a website with a reasonable amount of traffic. On the other
hand most of the ebook is based around one topic, that being
selling textlinks on your site.

If you are looking to automate the sales of links on your site,
then this may be for you and you can find out more at:

2. On Demand Profits

I really liked this ebook. It reminded me of a tactic which I do
use occasionally but never gave a lot of thought to it until I read
this ebook. It is difficult to say a lot more without giving too
much away, but especially at $7 this is almost guaranteed to bring
you a good return on your investment. If you have an hour spare,
read the ebook, put it into action and then sit back. No list or
web-building skills needed.

3. Affiliate of the Month

Ewen Chia sent me this a couple of weeks ago and I really regret
not having sent this to you before as it is really high quality and
surprisingly cheap at $27. This really is the epitomy of
overdelivery with multiple PDFs and Videos. This product covers
everything that you need to know in order to get to a reasonably
high level in affiliate marketing. Mainly geared towards beginners
although there are some fairly advanced techniques also which I had
not considered before. In my opinion, this is a condensed version
of his high-ticket product.

4. My Contact Station

Joel Comm has moved away from Adsense with his latest product. He
has created a contact form which will avoid you receiving spam.
Actually, it is much much more and only $7. To find out more, go
to…

( www.clarifywithben.com/recommends/contact )

Here is an early testimonial:

“Joel, I can’t believe anyone would be without My Contact Station
on their web site.  And you must be insane to be giving it away for
$7.00!  Have you lost your mind?  Keep up the GREAT work!”  - Frank
Rogers

5. The MF Method

MF standing for Mike Filsaime. I first bumped into Joe Lavery when
I was featured on Tellman Knudson’s Marketer’s Deathmatch. He is an
extremely sharp marketer and has written down some of his gems in
an ebook as well as documenting some time that he spent with Mike
Filsaime. If you like Butterfly Marketing Manuscript and The Guru
Slayer then you will definitely like this. If you missed out on the
Slayer because it was too expensive, then this is a steal at just
$9.97 (While in prelaunch)

6. If you have been to my blog recently (or if you are reading this
on my blog) then you will have noticed an extra image in the
top-right corner. If you click on that image, then a button will be
added to your Google Toolbar which will inform you when I make a
post on my blog. This is an extremely valuable tool for any blogger
who is trying to build up readers. I wish that I had seen this
before. It is being sold by Jason DeVelvis at:

7. If you are not averse to Greyhat or Blackhat techniques, then
Blogger Generator is currently running a sale. I bought this a
while ago for $197 so am a bit meek about the fact that it is now
under $50. However, it has been a faithful tool, and you can
download your own copy from:

8. Sometimes a tool comes out which does just one task, but does
that task very well. If you are using CPanel hosting and are
looking for a way to create multiple subdomains extremely fast,
then I would advise you to take a look at:

( www.easyarticlesitebuilder.com/iemb )

It also comes with an SEO book

9. The following ebook really deserves an email of its own if not
multiple emails. This is one of the best ebooks that I have ever
read and certainly the best one that I have ever read about Web 2.0.

If you are struggling to implement Web 2.0 and want your hand held
throughout the whole process then you should head straight away to
download the Authority Blackbook from:

http://www.clarifywithben.com/recommends/authority
( www.clarifywithben.com/recommends/authority )

Best of all, it is free. Seriously, if you only do one thing from
this email it should be to download Authority Blackbook.

****
10. If you are reading this email then the chances are that you
purchased the Visitor Sense Videos from
http://www.visitorsensevideos.com . I say that because most people
on my list have now seen them (and they are incredible)

However, I want to direct you towards something else that JP has
now produced at

http://www.clarifywithben.com/recommends/convertmoney
( www.clarifywithben.com/recommends/convertmoney )

If you are looking for quality resources on how to convert your
sites to actually make money then I would advise you to check it
out right away.

11. Finally one software application that does pretty much all

12. If you are fed up with your hosting or are looking to purchase
hosting, then I would strongly advise you to listen to the
interview which Mike Filsaime has just released. There are some
tips there which I had never thought of. This is really top-notch
stuff which is directed towards the marketing industry and is
totally free to listen to.

I hope that you are still with me!

I am currently getting a lot of Paypal errors when I purchase
products online where I have to click ‘retry’. Any ideas why?

I also still can’t add links when I am writing a post on my blog.
Well, the links appear but I can’t link them up to the destination.
The only way I seem to be able to do it is by copying and posting
from another WYSIWYG editor. Perhaps a suggestion?!

I really appreciate you taking the time to read this email and I
hope that it was useful for you. I would appreciate your feedback
on whether you liked the format or not. Please post your comments
