The 5 Step Formula to
Instant Cash By Selling
Other People's Digital
Products Online
By Toyin Omotoso
7starcourses.com
Dear subscriber,
I feel so happy as I type this newsletter.
Here is why:
I setup a test campaign on Facebook about 2 days ago with
just $60 (N21,600)
As at the time of writing this, that test campaign has
resulted in N135,000
That is a profit of about N113,000 in 2 days.
And this was made possible because of an online platform
called EXPERTNAIRE.
Expertnaire is an online platform that allows Experts
(those with quality information, knowledge and expertise)
to list and sell their products on their marketplace.
And other people who want to make some money can help them
sell those products and smile to the bank.
Let me explain better.
I consider myself to be someone who is an expert at
creating valuable knowledge products (books, videos,
courses etc)
Over the years, I have created knowledge products and sold
tons of them on different areas like:





Dating
Business and making money
Sex
Travel
Etc
I have also taught a lot of people how to do the same.
There is no doubt that one of the surest ways to build an
online business and make a lot of money is by creating and
selling products that share valuable information in formats
like ebooks, videos etc.
But the truth is this:
At the end of the day, most people can't create their own
high demand knowledge products to sell for various reasons.
E.g.
 Some just don't get it regardless of how easy I try to
make it.
 Some just don't have the time because of their job and
other life issues.
 Some just have other unexplainable reasons.
This is not only in Nigeria.
It happens to people all over the world.
So, someone (I actually don't know who started this) came
up with this concept where you can sell another person's
product online and get a part of the commission.
In many cases, you can even use the same marketing
materials that person created to sell the product and get
paid.
That is how the Clickbank marketplace was launched back in
the day.
On Clickbank, there are 2 groups of people.
The first group are known as merchants.
These are people who are able to create high value products
(digital) and list them on the Clickbank marketplace along
with the marketing material to sell them
The second group are the affiliates who simply sign up on
Clickbank and what they do is to pick any product from the
Clickbank marketplace.
For each product, there is something called an affiliate
link attached to it.
It usually looks like this:
https://merchantwebsite.com/affiliatecode
All the affiliate has to do is to find people who are most
likely going to be interested in that product and recommend
the product to them through his affiliate link so that they
can buy through the link.
When someone makes a purchase through the affiliate link,
the affiliate gets a certain commission.
Let me illustrate better.
Let's say a merchant lists a product about "dog training"
and let's say the product sells for $40.
The merchant can now set an affiliate commission for the
product. Let's say 50% which is most common.
What this means is - if an affiliate makes a sale of the
product (via his affiliate link), he gets paid 50% of that
$40 which is $20.
Are you following me here?
Good.
Because of this, a lot of smart people started becoming
overnight millionaires.
That is because someone, let's call him Affiliate X can
pick up this dog training product in the example above and
advertise it to people who own dogs.
If his advertisement is effective, this affiliate X can
keep repeating the adverts and end up selling maybe 2000
copies of that dog training product that he gets paid $20
per sale for.
That is $20 x 2000 = $40,000
Let's say he spent $10,000 on adverts.
If you remove that cost from the total profits, that means
affiliate X is now $30,000 richer - from a digital product
he didn't create.
That is how news got out that one of the easiest ways to
make a lot of money online is by promoting other people's
digital products as an affiliate.
So, many people started rushing to Clickbank to sign up as
an affiliate and start promoting various products from
merchants.
Unfortunately, Clickbank blocked out Nigerians probably
because we are known around the world as potential
fraudsters.
Whatever.
Many Nigerians still find a way to register on Clickbank
though but most of them (about 99.9%) don't make any money
because they don't know how to market and because they are
competing with other well trained and experienced
affiliates from all over the world.
I actually told you all this long story to help you
understand the concept of selling other people's digital
products.
So, Let's Go Back to ExpertNaire.
Don't worry.
I will share the 5 step formula to instant cash by selling
other people's digital products online later on.
On Expertnaire, Nigerians with quality knowledge based
digital products can list them - along with marketing
materials that makes selling them easier for affiliates.
Then affiliates can sign up to the Expertnaire platform,
pick one or more products to market and use the affiliate
links of each product to market them.
When someone buys the product via the affiliates’ link, the
affiliate will get a commission for that product.
Now that you understand how this works, let me explain how
you can become an affiliate of Expertnaire.com
Here is Step One:
Go to https://expertnaire.com/manager/affiliate/register
Fill the form and click Register (you should read the terms
and conditions too though)
Once you click REGISTER, the system will show you a popup
notification informing you that the fee for becoming an
affiliate on Expertnaire is N10,000 a year.
Just click the Yes, Continue button to move on.
Or click cancel if you are not willing to pay the fee.
When you click the Yes, Continue button, the system will
show you the Paystack form for payment.
You can use the CARD option or BANK option to pay with
Paystack.
Sometimes, the network from your bank might not be good and
your payment might not go through.
If that is the case, just try it again later on.
Once your payment goes through, you will get an email and
you will get instant access to the affiliate dashboard.
STEP 2: Adding Your Bank Account
Once you are signed up as an affiliate, you can log on to
the system if you are logged out using your email address
and password you used in signing up.
Just go to https://expertnaire.com/manager/affiliate/login
and login from there.
This will always bring you to your affiliate dashboard
where you can see a summary of your sales etc
The first thing you should do after signing up is to add
your bank account details.
Here is why:
Expertnaire pay affiliates every Friday.
But if you do not have your bank account details on your
profile, You won’t be able to receive your money.
So, in order to do this, click on your profile picture, it
will drop down, then click on PROFILE
Then, on the next page, click EDIT MY PROFILE
It will bring you a page that has all your details.
Scroll down until you see the section where you can add
your bank account details.
Ensure you add your bank account details correctly and
click on SAVE.
Once you have done that, it is now time to get your
affiliate links and start promoting some products.
STEP 3: Getting Your Affiliate Link
Again, your affiliate link is your unique link that allows
the system to know that a particular sale came from you so
that you are credited for it.
The good thing about the affiliate links on Expertnaire is
that they all come with a 90-day cookie.
This is what I mean.
Let's say someone clicks on your affiliate link today but
does not buy immediately.
Let's say this person now comes back to the product page 87
days later and buys, the cookie that the affiliate link set
on the person's browser makes it easy for the system to
identify that this customer was referred by you and you get
the commission.
Isn't that sweet?
Okay, here is how you get your affiliate links.
Once you are logged in, there is a set of links by your
right side (either on desktop or mobile)
The second link on this menu is what you click on to get
your affiliate links.
When you click on affiliate links on the menu, it takes you
to a page where we have all the various products listed.
On this page, you will see details about each product.
 The product name
 Product price
 Commission percentage paid to affiliates
 And the affiliate link for the product
Something like this.
As you can see in the image above, the blue button circled
in red is where you can get the affiliate link for the
product you want to promote.
Again, each product has its own unique affiliate link.
All you have to do is click on the blue button and it will
open a box with the affiliate link for that product.
Then you can simply copy it
For instance, here is an affiliate link for a product on
Ecommerce called 10x.
As you can see, the link is kinda long.
That is how most affiliate links are.
Now that you understand how to use Expertnaire system,
let's talk about how to actually promote your affiliate
links so that people can actually click on it and buy.
Because, let's face it.
Just Having an affiliate account on
Expertnaire won't give you money.
You only make money when:
- You promote your affiliate link for a product to people
who are interested in that product and they buy.
The more you can do that, the more money you can make.
So, how do you do that?
First, it is important that you get this advice screwed
deep into your mind.
When it comes to promoting products online (either it is
yours or the ones you are promoting as an affiliate) - The
best way to get results is to put the right message in
front of the right audience.
Many people make this mistake over and over.
If you promote your affiliate link about a product to the
wrong audience, you won't make any money.
That is the plain truth.
Here is an example for you to understand what I am saying.
Let's say you decide to promote the US Visa Guide product
that pays N5000 per sale to affiliate.
But you now decide to promote it in a FB group that is
mostly dominated by students.
What will happen?
Many of them will probably click on it because the appeal
of getting a US Visa is strong to Nigerians.
But when they get to see the price (N10,000), they will
simply close the page.
So, you might look at your tracking reports (e.g. from
bit.ly) and see that you got 478 clicks without a sale.
What happened?
You promoted to the wrong crowd.
Meanwhile, another affiliate could write a short Facebook
post that looks like the one below:
Why Many Nigerians Struggle to Get a US Visa
Some days ago, I was discussing with a colleague of mine who just returned from
the US.
According to him he got a 2 years, US Visa the very first time he applied.
Was it due to luck?
The answer is No.
He was able to get the Visa because he had access to certain insider information
that many people who apply for a US Visa do not know.
As a matter of fact, he also told me about 7 people who have been able to get their
own 2 years, US Visa by applying the same insider information he used.
For instance, there are certain questions the US Consulate official will ask you
during an interview and they expect you to respond in a certain way.
If you do not respond well, your Visa application will be rejected.
If you are interested in increasing your chances of getting a US Visa when you apply,
he has written a guide on these little-known US Visa information
Click Here to Get the Guide - Affiliate link goes here
Affiliate Name
Then, let's say this affiliate targets the advert at the
right people who are between ages 28 - 45, working etc
What will happen?
Even if he only got 100 clicks, those 100 clicks could end
up in 5 sales just because he put the right message in
front of the right people.
The idea is this: Before you ever promote your affiliate
link for a product, ensure you have a good idea of the type
of audience that are potential buyers for that product.
Here are some examples to play with:
 If you were to promote my product titled: How to turn
yourself into a live breathing cash machine, who would
you promote it to?
 If you were to promote a product on how to advertise on
Facebook, who would you promote it to?
 If you were to promote a product on high blood pressure,
who would you promote it to?
With that said, let me share 3 different strategies with
you for promoting an affiliate product.
1. The ROOKIE Strategy
2. The Good Enough Strategy
3. The Professional Strategy
Let's take them one after the other.
The Rookie Strategy:
The rookie strategy is not an effective one.
But sometimes, it might work a bit if some of the elements
are right.
Back in the day, I went to clickbank to get my affiliate
link for a product on dating.
So, I went to a dating forum and I started posting the
affiliate links all over hoping for people to click the
link and buy.
I did that for 2 full weeks and I made ZERO sales.
Why?
I was following the rookie strategy.
But sometimes, the rookie strategy can work a bit.
Here is such cases.
Let's say you are promoting a mainstream product (a
mainstream product is a product that appeals to a mass
audience - E.g. Weight loss, making money etc)
Then let's say you have about 2000 people on your FB
friends list who are at least 28 years upwards.
Next, let's say you make a post on your FB wall where you
are simply recommending this article for others to go and
read:
How Bishop Oyedepo's Book Moved Me From N5 to N50,000 in 2 Weeks
by TOYIN OMOTOSO
Back in 2008, I remember there was a time when
all I had to my name was N5 only.
Yes. Five Naira.
And I carefully hid it inside my Bible.
Believe it or not, that was all I had for about 3 months.
In order to eat, I would hang out with some of my neighbours
that I had turned to friends (just to be get benefits like
getting food to eat)
But one day, I came across a book by Bishop David Oyedepo.
It was a small book titled:
"If you can think enough, what you have is enough"
I read the book and it changed my life.
For the first time, I began to understand how to think
strategically and get yourself out of any situation
you are in - especially financial situation.
So, I followed what the Bishop taught in the book.
Here is an example.
It is important that you understand that apart from
money, there are other resources you have that you
can use to move your life forward.
Sit down with a clean sheet of paper and write them
down.
E.g. What skills do you have?
What talents do you have?
What special networks do you have?
What material things do you have that you can sell?
What physical attributes do you have?
Once you have listed all these down, the next thing to
do is to simply think of how you can utilize any of those
things to move forward.
But you need to think deeply here using a pen and paper.
Once you are through, look at the best ideas that come
up and begin to work on them immediately.
When I did this exercise, even though I thought all I had
was N5, the book helped uncover other resources that I didn't
know I had.
2 weeks later, I had N50,000 in the bank and my life
began to change from that moment onwards.
The truth is, our creator gave us our brains to help us
solve many of our life problems but most people do not
know how to think strategically and this limits what
they can achieve in life.
Whenever you think you are stuck in life or you are not
making as much money as you want to make, I can assure
you that if you make use of your brain to think
strategically, your life will improve.
Up till today, I still use these thinking strategies
anytime I feel stuck, need ideas or need to get ahead
with my life and business
Most people do not use these thinking strategies and that
is one of the main reasons why many find it difficult to get
ahead in their life and business.
Make it a decision to use your brain more efficiently from
now on.
May God help us all.
PS: Toyin Omotoso is the author of the unusual book
"How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine"
that has transformed a lot of lives.
Click here to get a copy:
=> Put your affiliate link here
If you have at least 2000 active people on your
FB/Instagram/Whatsapp friends list who are between ages 2845, many of them will read the article, click on the
affiliate link there and many will buy immediately.
But then, while this can make you some money fast, it is
not a business strategy that can be ongoing.
And usually, the money you make from here might not really
be much because it is all about leveraging the contacts you
have already.
So, that takes us to the next strategy.
The Good Enough Strategy
This is a strategy that a lot of affiliates use to make a
lot of money fast.
But I consider it a short term strategy.
I only use it when I want to promote products in certain
markets where I do not have a list and where I do not
intend to build one.
This is how it works.
You create a piece of presell content that creates demand
for the product you are promoting.
And put the presell content on a blog or on your website.
Then you run adverts that send traffic to the presell.
When people land on the presell, they read it and
clickthrough via your affiliate link to the product page.
So, it is like this:
ADS => PRESELL => PRODUCT SALESPAGE
The main elements here are your adverts and the presell.
In fact, the presell is what determines how effective this
strategy will be.
If you can create a piece of powerful presell content (E.g.
look at the presell by Rich Jerk below), then you can use
this strategy effectively to promote any product as an
affiliate and make a killing.
The Presell Content Can Be:
- A case study
- A story (It can be the story of how the product you are
promoting as an affiliate changed your life)
- An interview
- A product review (Your honest thoughts about the product.
If you can present it in way that gets people to believe
you, this will work)
- An advertorial (that looks like editorial content
reported by a journalist)
This method of creating presells and using them to promote
affiliate products is what the Rich Jerk was known for a
lot.
SIDE NOTE: The Rich Jerk is the nickname of a former Clickbank affiliate who
made millions of dollars in affiliate commissions and was very successful
Below is a presell for one of his websites that he used to
promote a money making product as an affiliate.
Get Rich Quick Scams Revealed!
Read this special article before you consider joining or
paying for a “Get Rich Quick” program.
January 18th 2006
From the desk of Jane Doe (senior reviewer)
Wouldn’t it be nice to make a bundle of money quickly, with minimal effort, working at home
in your pajamas? Of course it would. I for one would love to have money flowing into my
bank account, working only a few hours a week from home, so I’d have more time to spend
with my kids and my husband, without any boss looking over my shoulder.
Whether it’s real estate investing, selling by classified ads, stock market investing, internet
affiliate marketing, or something else, we’ve all seen the fantastic claims people make about
making tons of money, AND how they can show you how to do the same thing. I can tell you
right now that 99% of these people are total frauds.
You may have even fallen prey to one of these scam artists, selling you their latest “get rich
quick” program. Me too. I’ve bought so many of these programs that I can’t even recall how
many. I don’t know why, but I tend to find the “good” in people, and I was “sold” by these
marketing schemes time and time again, even after being scammed by another. Finally, after
so many disappointments, I got FED UP. I decided to get to the bottom of this fascination we
all have with get rich quick programs, and find out if there really were any LEGITIMATE
programs for making money.
I literally contacted the administrator of every get rich quick website I could find. Posing as an
investor, I managed to convince the owners that I was seriously interested in purchasing their
entire website and business. That way, once the dollar signs flashed in their heads, they
would give me free access to their member’s areas to review what I would be “buying”. Well,
I was disgusted with 99% of what I found.
Many of the owners actually boasted about how many people bought their useless programs.
I repeatedly found:
• outdated information
• non-working links
• links leading to other sites that asked for more money
• no help section
• no real email support
I quickly realized that these so-called Get Rich Quick programs were totally useless. And the
owners knew it, yet they were laughing all the way to the bank! Needless to say, I didn’t
respond when they asked if I was still interested in buying their websites. Surprisingly, while
sifting through all of the scam artists’ websites, I was able to locate a couple of individuals
that actually ran legitimate programs.
The owners were every day people like you and me that found a way to make extra money
working from home on their computers. Their membership areas were impressive, with a
good amount of quality information on how to make $100-$200 per day on your computer
doing very little work. I even chatted with a few of their customers in several online forums,
and they verified that they were making extra money through the sites. It was like I found a
few diamonds in the rough.
But don’t take my word for it, you can visit the 2 sites I found below. See what you think.
They do charge a minimal fee for access to their program, which is to be expected for any
legitimate company that actually has people on staff who are dedicated to helping you get
started.
What a friendly group of people! Anyway, if you do decide you are interested in either of the
two programs below, I advise you to join quickly, as the owners have informed me that they
are getting so many new members by word of mouth referrals, that they will be closing off
membership completely in the next 2 days. (By the way, you didn’t hear this from me!) They
don’t have a large enough staff to accommodate many more people, and they are dedicated
to providing excellent service to each person.
Well, my search for legitimate Get Rich Quick programs has come to an end. I have to say I
was thoroughly disappointed with most of what I found, and I strongly advise that you do not
take chances joining any programs other than the two listed below! Whatever you do, I wish
you a healthy, prosperous year for you and yours.
All the best.
Signed,
Jane Doe
Here are the links to the 2 programs we do recommend (both with your embedded affiliate
code).
www.xyz.com
www.zyx.com
All he did was to now buy adverts from Google Adwords back
in the day and he directs the traffic to the site with this
presell article.
According to him, this website made $50,000 a month in
profits before people started copying it.
WARNING: These days, do not use the word SCAM in any of
your online campaigns or else you will get flagged.
You can do the same too.
Just create a presell content about a product you want to
promote and put the presell content on your blog/website.
Then send traffic to it from Facebook or Instagram.
At the end of the presell content, tell them about the
product you are promoting with your affiliate link.
EXAMPLE: If you have read my book on LBCM and you really
think it affected you in a positive way, you can write an
article about how the book helped you and why you think
others should read it. End by telling people how to get it
which is where you place your affiliate link.
Then, put the article on your blog and run traffic to it
from facebook.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE:
Let's say I wanted to promote Otunba Akin Alabi's book
titled Small Business, Big Money
I could write a presell article titled:
7 Money making lessons I learnt from Akin Alabi that
changed my life.
I will put this article on my blog and at the end, I will
talk about his book and recommend it to people who read the
article.
I can now run FB Ads that say something like:
NEW POST: If you are a business owner or
entrepreneur, this article might be the best advice
you will read today. Click here
ANOTHER EXAMPLE:
If I wanted to promote the US Visa guide on Expertnaire as
an affiliate using this strategy, I could create a presell
that looks like the one below. I would improve the article
if I wanted to use it though.
Why Many Nigerians Struggle to Get a US Visa
Some days ago, I was discussing with a colleague of mine who just returned from
the US.
According to him he got a 2 years, US Visa the very first time he applied.
Was it due to luck?
The answer is No.
He was able to get the Visa because he had access to certain insider information
that many people who apply for a US Visa do not know.
As a matter of fact, he also told me about 7 people who have been able to get their
own 2 years, US Visa by applying the same insider information he used.
For instance, there are certain questions the US Consulate official will ask you
during an interview and they expect you to respond in a certain way.
If you do not respond well, your Visa application will be rejected.
If you are interested in increasing your chances of getting a US Visa when you apply,
he has written a guide on these little-known US Visa information
Click Here to Get the Guide - Affiliate link goes here
Affiliate Name
This example is for you to get the idea of how this
strategy works.
At the end of the presell content, I would recommend the US
visa guide just like you can see above.
Then, I can run FB Adverts to the presell article on my
blog.
The FB Ads could read something like these:
AD ONE:
WARNING! Don't pay any agent for a US Visa until you have
read this
AD TWO:
NEW ARTICLE: Why Many Nigerians Struggle to Get a US Visa
As you can see, the disadvantage of this strategy is that
there is no room for follow-up.
So, if your presell is not powerful enough to get people to
buy the product you are recommending, there is nothing you
can do about it.
When you are using this strategy, you also want to be
tracking your results since you are spending money to
advertise.
If you are spending $20 to make $22, it is not worth it.
That might mean you should create a better presell or maybe
you should look at the people you are targeting your
adverts to.
Truth is - many affiliates who use this strategy get
negative results at the beginning but they later work on
improving their ads and presells and then scale up.
Some affiliates even run adverts that send traffic directly
to their affiliate links.
Like this:
ADS => PRODUCT SALESPAGE
It works too sometimes especially if the salespage for the
product is really powerful.
But using a presell always work to boost sales than when
you do not use presells.
If not using a presell (sending direct traffic) gives you
20 sales, then using a really effective presell could give
as much as 80 sales. That is 4X the results
I am not saying using a presell automatically gives you 4X
of the results you get when you don't use one.
I am only saying using a really good presell works far
better than when you don't use one.
The Professional Strategy
This is the best strategy so far.
This is how you can have an online business, not off and on
campaigns.
I call this the professional strategy because it allows you
to build a list of people that you can keep selling other
related products to.
It is what many super affiliates use.
This strategy is made up of 5 steps.
It is those 5 steps that I was thinking of when I wrote
this newsletter and titled it - The 5 Step Formula to
Instant Cash By Selling Other People's Digital Products
Online.
The 5 steps are:
STEP 1: Pick a product & identify the audience for the
product.
STEP 2: Create a lead magnet to attract potential buyers
STEP 3: Create a squeeze page to give away the lead magnet
STEP 4: Redirect people to a thank you page that promotes
the affiliate product
STEP 5: Promote the affiliate products via followup email
Let me explain how to use those 5 steps again using my LBCM
book offer on Expertnaire as an example.
STEP ONE:
The first step is to pick a product.
Here, we are using my LBCM book offer on Expertnaire as an
example.
Once you have picked the product, it is important that you
identify the POP (pocket of people) that you want to
promote it to.
This POP must be people who are going to be interested in.
Not just any type of audience.
In the case of my book which has a theme of business/making
money, the POP/audience can be:
- People who are already interested in business opportunities
- People who already read other business/money making books like Rich Dad,
Poor Dad etc
- People who like authors of books about success, business and making money
It is very important that you do this for any product you
want to promote.
If you can't figure out the potential buyers audience for a
product, you have no business promoting it.
STEP TWO:
Now that you know the audience of people that will be
interested in the product you want to promote, it is time
to move to the next step which is:
Create a lead magnet to attract potential buyers
What is a lead magnet?
A lead magnet is simply a piece of value that give away for
free in order to attract those audience that you want and
build a list so that we can contact them over and over
again.
You can also call it a BAIT like Dan Kennedy.
As you know, a really good bait is something that you use
to entice.
And according to good ol' Dan Kennedy, powerful bait (or
lead magnet) is information, ideas, secrets about something
that your critter (target audience) is interested in.
This lead magnet can be in form of a report, mindmap, video,
software etc
My favourite is using reports (in PDF format) because they
are just easy for me to create.
All I have to do is think of the various ideas, tricks,
insider information, tips that the target audience I am
trying to attract will be interested in.
Then I will create a report on any of them but the title
has to be really great.
Here is an example.
Back in 2009 when I wanted to build my first list, I sat
down and created a lead magnet (a report) titled:
7 Fast Ways to Create Hot Info Products
that Will Sell and Sell Like Crazy
I used that to attract people who were interested in how to
make money online selling information products.
Here is another example:
Let's say I want to attract people who are interested in
getting outstanding results from their Facebook adverts, I
could create a lead magnet titled:
The 7 part guide to writing
outstanding facebook ads
Here is another example:
Let's say I want to attract an audience of men who are
looking for a woman to marry, I could create a lead magnet
report that is titled:
5 ways to attract the woman of
your dreams by Dec. 2016
I hope you are getting the idea by now.
So, back to my LBCM book, you can come up with various
ideas and topics.
But here is one that we can use to attract people who will
be interested in buying this book.
How about:
15 tips for generating money making ideas
The good thing is that it is not compulsory that you are
the creator of the lead magnet as long as you have the
rights to share it.
It might even be something that you got from a book you are
reading.
But it must be either valuable or irresistible.
Here is another example.
I wrote a book where I shared "7 highly profitable
businesses you can start with little capital and gave that
away for free"
That can also attract the type of audience that is needed
to buy my book.
The woman you are looking at below sells products on weight
loss and fitness for women.
Her lead magnet is the simple report she is holding.
According to her, when she wrote that report, she was in
debt. Now, she has over 80,000 subscribers who have signed
up to get her report and who are buying her products. And
now, she is in the 2-comma club (people who make at least
$1,000,000 a year)
I believe this is well understood at this point.
So, let's move to the next step
STEP 3:
This next step is something you should be used to by now
and this is where you create an optin page to give the lead
magnet away.
I won't be dwelling much here.
An optin page is made up of 3 elements:
- A headline
- The optin form
- And the picture of the lead magnet (optional)
Here are Some Worthwhile Examples:
In order to put up your optin page, you need a webpage
builder and an autoresponder.
STEP 4:
This is your first opportunity to start making money.
Once people have opted in to get your lead magnet, you
shouldn't give them the lead magnet immediately.
Instead, you should redirect them to a thank you page that
promotes the affiliate product.
Here is what I mean:
Let's say you have an optin page where you are giving away
a lead magnet titled: 7 highly profitable online business
you can start with less than N50k
Once people sign up to get the lead magnet from your optin
page, you should redirect them to a thank you page that
says something like:
REQUEST SUCCESSFUL:
The report you requested for has been sent into the email address you
provided.
Before you go ahead and read it, here is an article from one of my
mentors that I think will help you succeed in business
How Bishop Oyedepo's Book Moved Me From
N5 to N50,000 in 2 Weeks
by TOYIN OMOTOSO
Back in 2008, I remember there was a time when all I had to my name
was N5 only.
Yes. Five Naira.
And I carefully hid it inside my Bible.
Believe it or not, that was all I had for about 3 months.
In order to eat, I would hang out with some of my neighbours that I had
turned to friends (just to be get benefits like getting food to eat)
But one day, I came across a book by Bishop David Oyedepo.
It was a small book titled:
"If you can think enough, what you have is enough"
I read the book and it changed my life.
For the first time, I began to understand how to think strategically and
get yourself out of any situation you are in - especially financial situation.
So, I followed what the Bishop taught in the book.
Here is an example.
It is important that you understand that apart from money, there are
other resources you have that you can use to move your life forward.
Sit down with a clean sheet of paper and write them down.
E.g. What skills do you have?
What talents do you have?
What special networks do you have?
What material things do you have that you can sell?
What physical attributes do you have?
Once you have listed all these down, the next thing to do is to simply
think of how you can utilize any of those things to move forward.
But you need to think deeply here using a pen and paper.
Once you are through, look at the best ideas that come up and begin to
work on them immediately.
When I did this exercise, even though I thought all I had was N5, the book
helped uncover other resources that I didn't know I had.
2 weeks later, I had N50,000 in the bank and my life began to change
from that moment onwards.
The truth is, our creator gave us our brains to help us solve many of our
life problems but most people do not know how to think strategically and
this limits what they can achieve in life.
Whenever you think you are stuck in life or you are not making as much
money as you want to make, I can assure you that if you make use of
your brain to think strategically, your life will improve.
Up till today, I still use these thinking strategies anytime I feel stuck, need
ideas or need to get ahead with my life and business
Most people do not use these thinking strategies and that is one of the
main reasons why many find it difficult to get ahead in their life and
business.
Make it a decision to use your brain more efficiently from
now on.
May God help us all.
PS: Toyin Omotoso recently wrote a book titled "How to Turn Yourself
Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine" that has transformed a lot of lives.

Are you seeing what is happening here?
Instead of just promoting the affiliate product directly,
we are building a list first and then introducing the
affiliate product to them once they sign up.
Because of this process, we now have access to their email
address and we can follow them up.
When you redirect people to a thank you page that looks
like the one I shared above, many people are going to click
on your affiliate link and buy the book immediately.
But many still won't buy immediately.
But no problem because we can follow them up and that is
another big reason why this strategy is better than the
first two.
Follow up is important because most people don't buy the
first time online.
That is just the way it is.
They buy later on after they have seen the same offer at
least 7 times.
That brings us to the next step
STEP 5:
You already know why follow up is important.
In this next step, we can now begin to make use of the
access we have to this new subscriber.
First, we will deliver the lead magnet we promised them.
This is done automatically by your autoresponder.
Next, we start to follow them up to promote PRODUCT No 1.
Product No. 1 is the first product we are promoting to them.
I recommend at least 8 followup emails for effective
conversions. They can be one day apart.
In order to do the follow-ups, one easy way is to share
tips from the digital products that makes the reader want
more.
Here are some examples:
Since we are promoting my LBCM book, here is an example of
angles that you could create email followups around.
SUBJECT: These 3 demons keep people poor
When I started reading Toyin Omotoso's LBCM book, one of the areas that really
touched me was when he talked about the 3 demons that set people back in life.
These demons are the main reason why a lot of people are poor.
You probably know these demons too.
Maybe you are even affected by 1 or 2 of them
They are:
- Fear
- Laziness
- Procrastination
How do you overcome these demons?
That is what chapter 3 of his LBCM book is all about.

Did you see what I just did there?
If you have read my book, you can see that I just took that
out of it.
You can do the same for any digital product.
Even if you don't have the digital product, you can look at
the sales copy and pick up some tips that you can use in
creating your followup emails.
CONCLUSION:
This is just the beginning.
Overall, your ability to drive a lot of targeted traffic
when you are using strategy 2 or 3 will determine how much
money you can make.
But in order for you to even start making a lot of money
from my products and that of others, you have to sign up as
an affiliate on Expertnaire.
You can get a 2-years free access to Expertnaire when you
watch this video
If you want to be heavily involved in making big
commissions from promoting my products, then you should
start building a list.
If you don't want to build an email list, you can start by
building an audience using facebook groups.
I can't go into details on how to do that in this
newsletter but it is simple.
One guy I know built a facebook group of 10,000 people
within 3 months.
And he did it for free.
The idea is that you do not have any excuse.
