QUESTION
Greetings,
Im considering investing in your program, but I have a question for you before I do. Essentially, Im no longer looking to hook up with women left and right. In fact, I think Ive met the one, but Im having trouble making her realize this.
Ive been pursuing her for about five months (during part of which time she was away at school, but we kept in regular contact, at first through e-mail and, later, over the phone), and I get the sense that shes very guarded about relationships. Shes *very* goal oriented (which is one of the many things I love about her, BTW), and therefore very busy, and - I suspect - shes been burned in the past, relationship wise.

music whereas painters imagined composing the equivalent to music with color and form. Film, video, and computers made it possible to directly link abstract forms and color with their own musical orchestration. Spirituality inspired the compositions of many abstractionists, including filmmakers who created contemplative works that combined mystical light and the movement of symbols and mandalas. While many of the Abstract Expressionists painted large canvases in order to encompass the viewer, film projection made it possible to totally engulf the viewer in cinematic fields. New computer technology even makes it possible for viewers to directly intercede into the composition.
Montage and collage in painting suggest the simultaneity of events frozen in the momentary stasis of the canvas. The same technique is used by experimental filmmakers to suggest the elusiveness of time. As film, video and computer generated images can be infinitely looped, they are especially conducive to presenting the repetitive forms of serial minimalism. Many abstract painters of the 20th century aspired to achieve the appearance that the forms on their canvases were autonomous and self-generating. They created the illusion that the colors and forms were expanding, contracting, and pulsating forward and backward from the picture plane. Today, computer programs make it possible for artists to produce truly autonomous works that can determine their own morphing shape.
The experimental filmmakers of the early twentieth century invented techniques for creating their forms on celluloid. Painting or altering the celluloid required infinite patience and skill, as did the development of animation that used multiple cells to create movement or the methods for stop-action animation. Television presented new possibilities as artists manipulated images transmitted into the TV set or provided their own video footage, while computer technology has made it possible to animate virtual forms.
Early European Dadaist artists experimented with black and white cinema to create a new means of aesthetic experience. Hans Richters first film, Rhythmus 21 (1921-1924) used squares and rectangles to create a complex composition to play on ideas of perception, especially how light can create the illusion of movement and depth within the cinematic experience. Marcel Duchamps Anemic Cinema (1926), in collaboration with Man Ray, is also a study in perception. The film of spiraling discs alternates between hypnotic black-and-white discs that optically advance and recede and discs inscribed with verbal puns. Duchamp juxtaposed image with language in an era when silent films and written text went hand-in-hand.
In North America, advents in abstract animation led to developments with color and music, resulting in terminology such as visual music and optical poetry. Mary Ellen Butes Rhythm in Light (1934) premiered at Radio City Music Hall in New York and juxtaposed the music of Edvard Griegs Anitras Dance with kaleidoscopic geometry of photographic and hand-drawn imagery. Len Lye, a nationalized New Zealander, painted colors and scratched directly onto celluloid, resulting in such works as Color Box (1934), which established direct filmmaking as an important form of animation. Oskar Fischinger’s work has influenced generations of filmmakers. Beginning in 1920s Germany, this non-objective filmmaking master began creating visual music with geometric shapes tightly choreographed to classical music and jazz. He is widely known for his influence on the Disney classic Fantasia. Harry Smith’s hand-painted animations have been described as mystical cinematic experiences; with some works taking years to produce.
Major animators pioneering changes from hand to technological innovation show the parallel techniques of hand-craft, working directly on film, as technological advents in computers provided new potential for artistic production. California artist James Whitney, created the imagery in his hand-drawn film Yantra (1955) by punching grid-like patterns on 5 x 7 inch cards and using analog computer equipment developed by his brother, John Whitney, the pioneer of modern computer graphics, to create Lapis (1965), which consists of hundreds of constantly moving points of light. The works of Jordan Belson, another pioneer of visual music, include Allures (1961).
Stan VanDerBeek, who was fascinated with new languages, new structures of thought and new approaches to making art worked with computers and television. The work Symmetrics, 1972is a prime example of VanDerBeek’s lifelong interaction with computer and electronic imagery.
Bruce Nauman utilizes body performance as means toward abstraction. In Lip Sync (1968), a video camera turned upside down is positioned closely on the filmmaker’s face, which has been turned upside down, thereby transforming the sequence into abstraction.

Adding Value Explained Welcome to the adding value to your products section. You may remember we talked a little about this earlier in the sales letter writing sections, but we didnt quite go into the depth that I would have liked, so I saved it for here instead.
In this section well be talking about how to directly influence your sales through the addition of value for your products, ranging from offers, joint venture deals, consultation fees, bonuses and others. You see, its all about perceived value, and getting the most out of your product. Again, something we talked about in pricing strategies, was getting the price you think your product deserves and persuading people to buy it by stacking on reasons for them to do so, something once mastered, will push people over the edge again and again, pushing them over the edge by hitting the buy button on your site.
Most importantly of all, theres a lot of ways of pulling this off, and theyre forever changing, and marketers are coming up with more and more innovative ways to add value to their products. Its worth watching in fact, next time you find yourself reading through a sales letter or some ad copy, look at how they add value to their offer using things that arent directly related to the product itself. Watching how others do things on their sites is one of the most valuable cost free and pretty much effort free way of doing things you have in your arsenal, but it works extremely well. Keep that in mind all the time, not just throughout this section.
Come back here once you have got your product up and running if youre not working on that right now, because all of these are elements of a sales letter in some way or another, bar two. So lets get started. How about taking it from the top and starting with the most used and widely known and working down to the least widely used, and the new and innovative ideas.
Cut Off Dates
Cut off dates and limited numbers: A great place to start and really easy to slip into any sales letter for any product. The old cut off dates are probably the most widely used out of all of these methods, and they seem to still be working. All this requires is notification of your low price only being guaranteed until a particular date. These are great words to use, because if you do decide to extend the deadline, youll find that you can without causing a stir. Way too often recently Ive visited sites that say the price will be going up for sure on a particular date, but it never does, and the date magically moves forward each day. Not a good way to be doing business I can assure you. This is catering more to the impulse buyers rather than adding value, but I thought wed get that in there too anyway, as its worth a mention for sure.
Limited Numbers Done Right
Next up is the limited numbers method: Only allowing a limited number of people into the site at a particular time, or only allowing a particular amount of people to buy at a particular price. Again, quite widely used, and both catering to impulse buyers as well as adding value, depending on which method youre using. Now this one I especially like. One of my previous sites has this very system up and running, where I only let a few hundred members in at a time. Its a membership site of course, so re-occurring incomes all around for me, and it makes my members feel a little lucky. Some of them have even told me this themselves, and Ive had requests from my list on several occasions asking when a spot will become available because they really wanted to get in.
Now you might say that Im losing money on such a deal, only letting people in a small number at a time, but it really doesnt happen like that. The reason the limit was set in the first place was so that Id have time to start working on other projects and could run my other sites on autopilot, so you could say I discovered this one by accident. Dont forget that you can always raise and lower your limits if you do try this, which I highly recommend you do try, even if limiting numbers doesnt suit your situation, limiting numbers on a lower price, very likely will suit every situation, not to mention it always amazes me how far word of mouth travels about this.
Standard Testimonials
Next up is the hugely widespread and popular standard testimonial. Im only going to touch on this, because there really isnt a huge amount to say, and I highly doubt anyone out there has never seen one. A standard section of text either throughout your sales letter, down the side of your nav bar, on a separate page or a database of happy customers works without a problem and goes a long way to cementing in your customers minds that your product is good. This is especially true if the person or people writing are well known and respected in your field. Try to get in contact with at least one well-known, hand them your product for free, and request a testimonial for it.
Testimonials - But Better
Now, lets look at the slightly rarer audio testimonials. These cement value in your product even further and increase customer confidence no end. Ive personally looked at text testimonials before, and seen some major flaws that gave away to me, and proved without a doubt that they were faked. This pretty much put a big dent in what I thought of these things early on, and Ive even had people come to me and tell me they faked their testimonials in the past. Needless to say I wasnt happy about that. Granted, audio testimonials can be faked too, but its generally not something that pops into your head when listening compared to reading written ones, hence the big confidence booster and value adding of this method.
If you can get some audio testimonials, whether you ask people to call your answering machine and have them leave messages, or if youre able to record over the net through voice communications, its well worth it. The extra effort comes in and hits your customers with a massive boost to confidence resulting ultimately in more sales and resources for you and your business. Cant be bad.
The Ultimate Testimonial
Ok, seeing as weve done the audio and text thing with these testimonials, lets go all out, major bells and whistles professionalism with video testimonials. How often do you see streaming video testimonials up on websites? Not very often Id say. In fact at the time of writing this, Ive only seen two in my whole career, and they were great. Real people giving real accounts of using real products that worked. If any type of testimonial is going to add value to your products, its going to be this one. A simple idea developed into an all singing all dancing, hard hitting method that works.
The next best thing to video testimonials would be inviting these people over to your house to tell you how good the products are. I admit, this is taking things to an extreme, but with all the digital cameras floating around nowadays, and the ability to capture video through the net, and the larger hosting spaces starting to appear through the thought competition, it shouldnt be more than a little time consuming to get a few of these. Well worth it in my opinion. Taking testimonials to the max.
The Standard Bonus
Right, I think weve done about as much as we can with those testimonials, so moving on a little to bonuses. Standard bonuses. Nothing fancy really, all youre doing is offering up some sort of bonus with the purchase of the product, again adding value. Generally these are known as something directly related to your product, or even better, something that will benefit you as well as the customer getting it for free. How about putting together a small training series that allows the customer to give it away, building your reputation, as well as adding value on the initial sale? Or if youre really on a brainy one that day, how about putting something together that will make you money through educating the buyer? For example, give away an affiliate marketing course to your customers, helping them become better affiliates, allowing them to promote your stuff and make you money at the same time.
Bonuses - But Smarter
Its links like this that make up really clever bonuses, where on the surface they might just seem standard to other people that dont understand where youre coming from. Always try to put something together that will benefit you as well as the customer, whether its increased sales, a re-branded book packed with affiliate links or links to your product they can give away, or an educational tool that will assist your customer, and put money in your pocket at the same time.
In fact, while were talking about giving away bonuses to enhance your product, Ive even seen some really effective products that are just made up of a bunch of bonuses, with no real central product. Of course they have a central theme, and are all related in some way, but this is something to keep in mind for when youve been going a while and having a slow day. As long as all the products compliment each other, and are relevant, they can come together to make a whole new product and income stream for yourself.
Bonuses Done Right
Whilet were on this subject, please, please take note here, because if I see anyone trying to flog their product, thinking that an e-book entitled Doing business today, in the 60 is going to shift more of their products, I really might have to start wondering about peoples motives. Things like this wont add $500 to your price. In fact, let me tell you how serious this issue is. If you put a dodgy bonus together, or do this in the wrong way, you can devalue your product so much, that it becomes worthless, and you just wont sell any. Simple as that.
So heres a general rule for you. If youve really thought about it, dug about and tried to find something to add in as a good worthwhile bonus to try and tip customers over the edge and to have more of them buy your product, and you honestly cant find anything that fits the bill, go with nothing or create an original info product yourself. No bonuses are better than one that puts all your customers off. As obvious as that sounds, it seems to be occurring more and more often recently, which is strange, because of the sheer number of people that claim to know what theyre talking about that are teaching people what to do with online business nowadays.
Using the example above I want to demonstrate something to you now that also seems to have become a strange epidemic that pretty much makes me and everyone else I know click right off the website and go somewhere else when looking for their products, and thats when people take too much time and put in a little too much effort into adding value to one of their products. Or so they think anyway. Have a look at this one, how many times have you seen this recently?
Example: Get your hard hitting, intensive training course, entitled Improve Your Fishing, consisting of two CDs packed with audio and video, showing you all the tricks, tips and tactics in use today by some of the most successful fisherman in the world!. Order now and get this proven course worth over $2500 for a measly $300. In fact, Im so confident that its going to help you Im going to knock the price down further. You can get all this expertise in one place for an amazing $49.95. Order your copy now!
See where Im coming from? Dont get me wrong, theres nothing wrong with giving special offers to people who buy there and then catering to impulse buyers, and bargain hunters, or just to show people theyre getting a real good deal out of you, but from $2500 down to $49.95? Thats going over the top, and unfortunately just makes your product look like a defect. How would you feel if you walked into a store and saw a top of the range 62 plasma screen knocked down from $12000 to $200? I can tell you, your first reaction would either be Yeah right, this a joke, or even more likely s the catch? or s wrong with it?.
Remember when we talked earlier about increasing customer confidence in your products, and the whole idea of a sales letter is to squish all these problems and questions people might have with a product, while at the same time creating a want, and sometimes even a need for it. Do you see how adding too much value, too soon, or going really over the top can be detrimental? Where as you see it as giving the customers a bargain, theyre seeing it as another question in their minds. Another hurdle that they need to cross, or a question they need to find the answer to before they buy your product. Its everywhere nowadays. Discounts arent bad on their own, but in this type of circumstance, they are going to kill your sales. Most people dont even know why. If you didnt before, now you do. Dont make the same mistake.
Now one thing I dont want to do is let you think that there is only one bad way to add value (or completely remove value) from your products, because Ive seen it done over and over again in different circumstances. I was going to give you three examples here, but lets take the fishing example above as one, and Im going to give you two more, in totally different situations that will spoil your sales figures. Bear in mind these are real, live examples that are out there right now on the net.
Example one: The Only want your bonuses factor: I land on this pretty blue and white, professionally designed, well built website that immediately makes me smile (Just feels nice when something is presented like this). I proceed to read the sales copy which briefly tells me how I can get money-making tips for free if I sign up to their newsletter. I see links to back issues here too so Im not really put off by the thoughts of this being another poor excuse to send me ads. Then comes the standard, sign up today and get this freebie. Im happy, because it looks relevant to what I want to achieve. Now normally at this point Id just go and sign up, but this person decided to go the extra way to please me.
E-book 1, E-book 2, E-book 3, E-book 4, Software 1, Software 2, Software 3, Software 4,5,6,7 and so on. Now on the surface this might seem like adding value to the point of people not being able to refuse, but honestly, are people signing up to their free newsletter for the freebies or for the content? Again, at first glance getting more subscribers is good right? Well, not really. Not if none of them care about your content and just wanted your collection of fifty thousand e-books. Remember, its all about quality, not quantity, and this example shows exactly how you can add too much value to a free a product to your detriment in the end. Your quality suffers, so does your pocket, and youve totally wasted your time.
Example two: The Not sure what going on factor: Heres a good one that I see a lot of, and something else thats on the rise too. In fact, to be honest, I really think this one is our fault, its us selling these guides that tell you to sell your bonuses like theyre products themselves. This is correct information, but it can be taken too far.
Again, Im surfing around the net and land on a site that happens to be a money making op. Im not opposed to money making opportunities of course, and this one just happens to have a great headline that entices me to read further. The further I get down the sales letter the better it gets, until we hit the bonuses. E-book one, click here to read about this e-book (forwards me to a whole new sales letter), click here to read about this software (takes me to a whole new sales letter) and so on for three or four bonuses. By the time Im done, Ive been taken all over the place, have five windows open, read six sales letters which each try to sell me on to something else, and have trouble finding my way back to your sales letter. Its important to remember to add value using bonuses in a way which makes your bonuses seem like real products themselves, but never ever lose sight of what you want your website to do. Dont throw people off in different directions and have them read ten sales letters for different products. It just doesnt work like that. Again while you may think youre adding value, all youre doing is distracting and confusing your visitors. When people say sell your bonuses like a real product, they mean a few hard hitting paragraphs about how this compliments the main product and youre getting a heck of a good deal, or you cant get it anywhere else, or where its been proven etc. Dont go over the top, or again, youll be losing customers.
Just these two above examples (three if you include the fishing one) I see every single day, and the worst thing about it is, when people say to me, Why no sales from my site? and I tell them that parts of their bonuses sections are destroying their sales letter, I get strange looks and comments. See its like one of those little annoying mind puzzles, where the solution is so obvious people miss it, and I can tell they dont feel too proud about that, but no worries. Not a problem at all, as long as you learn from it and dont repeat the mistake youll do fine I tell them.
Now if youve read this far and are ultimately confused or lost as to what the heck you could possibly give as a bonus in addition to your product, or dont have anything to hand, dont worry. It doesnt have to be tangible at all. It doesnt have to be an old e-book (in fact, itd probably be beneficial if it wasnt an old e-book) it doesnt have to be a piece of software. Open your mind a little and think about other things you could offer to people along with your product. Are you respected in your field of expertise? How about a free one hour, no strings phone or video consultation with your customers purchase, or even a follow-up consultation to see how theyve done with the product youve just sold them?
This isnt such a hard thing to implement if you have the knowledge. Personally, I like my free time, and you wont get me talking to you on the phone about your business unless youve just deposited $500 into my account for the hour, and heck, youd have to know me pretty well and be in my good books to get me down to that price too. Immediately that adds value to this product without me even offering the consultations, because I can tell you now, it took a little longer than three hours to write this guide. This is something you can do too, and if you really wanted theres nothing wrong with going a step further and actually offering those consultations, maybe 30 minutes or an hour per customer free (depending of course on how many customers you plan to get per week. Be careful not to try to give 100 people a free three hour consultation every week).
You dont have to be in the business of selling guides and info about business to put any of this together. It doesnt matter what youre selling, you can use this method somewhere, whether its an hour free technical support, or a free 30 minute confidence builder to compliment your main product. Its totally up to you. Be imaginative, and hey, it might even lead to further consultations putting even more cash in your pocket. Again, a freebie helps your customers and you, not just your customers. An important factor, indeed, and a question you should be asking yourself when creating any value adding material. How does this help my customers and me? A Little Something Extra
Before we move on, theres two more ways Id like to talk to you about adding value to a product. This time, though, the bonuses well be offering arent directly related to the product, and arent necessarily given on the sales letter as most bonuses are. Its always nice to give the customer a little something extra, and this is one way to do that and again, as we talked about before, helping yourself as well as the customer.
The first example I want to talk about is adding an option for discounts related to your other products, either now, or in the future through a ticket system. A good way to do this is allow customers to add additional products to their shopping cart at a discounted price when they check out. Not only does it allow them something extra for a little less, but it allows you to make more sales at the same time, again, benefiting both you and your customer.
If this is the first product youre creating, it doesnt hurt to reward loyalty. How about giving them 10% off the next product they buy from your business? This might not seem like itll do much on the surface, but when you turn a first time customer into a long term customer that keeps buying from you again and again, this is adding value to your products at its finest, because it benefits you the most not just today, but far into the future, where your previous customers are picking up two, three, four, and even more of your products within a year.
And last, something thats rather underestimated and hardly ever used (at least through the products Ive purchased over the years anyway) is again, about rewarding loyalty. If for some reason you dont want to include particular bonuses on the sales letter, why not go for something a little different instead, and hit them with it after they buy the product. Granted, youre losing your additional sales power through presenting this on your sales letter, and instead handing it out after the sale, but let me assure you, if you do this, you will be remembered, and most importantly people will talk about you, and at the same time become long term, loyal customers of yours. Is there anything more valuable?
Above all, if you take nothing else away from this, I want you to remember one thing, and thats that nothing in business is set in stone. No rules that exist now will exist forever, nothing that works now will work forever. The same applies to everything written before you. Experiment, innovate, be different and you will be remembered, make wads of cash and get your name around, and who knows, in six months time you might just be sitting where I am now, typing out a report revealing the newest and most cutting edge marketing methods that youve that youve discovered throughout your journey.

The slow painful torture being inflicted on the world, due to the ‘greedy’ capitalist system, has many even more terrifying and heart-breaking side-affects. While the days on the calendar fly like leaves from the tree’s on a blowy Autumn day, most of us remain unaware of the alarming growth globally in human beings believing that the only way to cope with this suddenly changed world is to take oneself ‘from it’ sooner than ‘had been planned’. The scale or number of these people who believe suicide is the only answer, despite the enormous burden they bequeath to their families, is a hidden statistic in the daily headlines. The reality of the existence of this unfortunate by-product of the global contraction in wealth, only becomes truly impactful if some of these ‘victims’ are known to you personally. The personal impact on me of Patrick Rocca’s death was obviously enormous.
This week I unfortunately have to add another name to ‘the list’. While John O Dolan was not well known to me, I was the grateful beneficiary on a number of occasions his enormous love of life and his sense of humour. He was a regular visitor to Dubai and was involved in many high profile projects here. He had an innate way of infecting people with his sense of ‘positive spin’ – which makes his decision to take his own life even more incomprehensible. I don’t know John’s family but I do pray that they are given strength to work through this most difficult-to-cope-with chapter of their lives. While speculation will inflate as to what caused a man of such enormous belief and positive attitude to make his decision, I DO have to declare my complete lack of understanding as to why ANYBODY would want to take their own lives because of money problems. No matter how great the money one owes or outlandishly impossible it may be to repay such debts, there is NOTHING in my head that can explain such awful decisions and results. Banks will NOT put you in prison because you cannot repay your debts – particularly in these times where the number of people in ‘this room’’ are so great. And banks will STILL be around in 50 years, when all of us will have departed this world from more natural causes.
So please let me appeal to all who find themselves in what appear like ‘insoluble’ debt problems, let the BANK(S) take the pain and the worry (I know this is strange coming from a ex-banker). They have or will be given the financial substance to ‘work their way through’ these operational air-pockets. Don’t worry about them. Worry about what IS IMPORTANT in LIFE. Those people who will still be your family and friends – even if you can’t buy them a drink. Ego-damage or social embarrassment are repaired easily. And life can throw some pleasant future surprises your way in re-instating a ‘lifestyle’. But it requires that ‘you are still on the planet’. So you have to give ‘life’ a chance to prove this to you.
Unfortunately I expect 2009 to report the highest suicide rate in the history of the Irish Republic. As unemployment rockets towards 20%, corporate failures escalate, government finances deteriorate to a point where the IMF needs to ‘take a seat at the table’ etc, Ireland will return to the relative ‘poverty levels’ not seen since the 1950’s – when going on an overseas holiday was more rare than a polar bear in the Sahara. A life and wealth level that ‘our parents’ came from. And this ‘adjustment’ will be painful. Salary levels across the country will have to contract by up to 25% to improve Irelands FDI appeal. The country has NOTHING to offer but agricultural products and its people. And this latter resource has to be competitively priced if this foreign investment is to reappear (or stay).
The New York Times this week published an embarrassingly bleak picture of the country and its 10 year outlook. One statement compared Ireland as being more like ‘Bob the Leper’ than a ‘Celtic Tiger’. And most of what I read in the article mirrors my own feelings on where this once great (and proud) country is heading. And the worst is STILL to come.
