LATEST NEWS - NICHE BLUEPRINT TO RE-OPEN ITS DOORS BRIEFLY
If you missed the initial launch of this highly popular internet marketing course offered
by Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey in conjunction with the Hermansen brothers, you'll have
another chance to get in on the action come
March 16, 2009.
Tim Godfrey has let it be known that they have received about 1000 emails from prospects
since the last launch, all of them with money in hand, begging to be admitted to the
course. So, once again, it appears that these guys are going to be swimming in orders
come March 16.
If you are not yet quite sure what all the hoopla is about, keep reading - you'll find
plenty of information about the
Niche Blueprint offering
and well as the
phenomenal bonuses that I am tossing in to offset the cost
of the course for you.
QUICK FACTS - WHAT IS THE NICHE BLUEPRINT AND WHY MIGHT YOU NEED IT?
 |
| This is the kind of crazy sales volume that these marketers are capable of. |
Steve Clayton and
Tim Godfrey achieved their initial fame in the middle
of 2008 when they released
Commission Blueprint. This is primarily a set of video-mediated
tutorials which show
affiliate marketers how to master
pay per click techniques to promote digital goods through ClickBank. The last time I checked,
they had sold more than 25,000 copies of their course, making Commission Blueprint one of the
most popular ClickBank products of all time!
But as they point out today, while it is still possible to make a very good living at this
(they certainly do), the competition between affiliate marketers in the information product
niches is EXTREMELY fierce.
As they tell it, you really need to be able to don your gladiatorial armor and fight it out
at the battle lines with affiliate marketing warriors who are armed to the teeth, and who
have the budget to go the distance. In other words, when it comes to winning digital
product promotions, it can quickly become a blood bath!
In contrast, say Steve and Tim, affiliates who have turned their attention to
TANGIBLE GOODS have found relatively LITTLE COMPETITION at the front lines. What these
fantastically successful affiliate marketers have learned now is how to make money through
DIRECT SALES.
Actually, Steve and Tim were approached by two brothers who had dabbled in this area for a while,
and who had made a breakthrough. Their names are
Dave and
Mike Hermansen,
and what they brought to the table so impressed Steve and Tim that they decided to joint venture
with the two brothers. The result is the
Niche Blueprint.
Boiled down to elevator pitch brevity, here is what the
Niche Blueprint has allowed these
two pairs of marketers to do. First, it helps them to
find obscure markets with a built
in source of buyers. They then set up simple websites designed to pull in laser targeted traffic
from the search engines for free. You'll find out EXACTLY how they do this in the course.
Finally, after raking in the cash for a few months, they then
flip these websites, selling each individual site for up to $200,000.

| Dave Hermansen on Fox News |
If that sounds a little too good to be true,you wouldn't be alone in thinking so. When
Dave Hermansen sold his site BIRD-CAGE.COM for
$173,000 after implementing the techniques
outlined in the
Niche Blueprint, he got massive exposure, including a live TV interview
on the
Fox News channel. The
New York Times also ran a story on his achievement.
So what was Dave doing? Well, he wasn't doing affiliate marketing. He was actually
drop shipping orders for
bird cages. That is, he was taking orders from
online customers, and then using a supplier to ship the goods. He didn't have to maintain
any inventory, or deal with any of the headaches that, say, most eBay seller have to deal with.
In case you are wondering, there is NOTHING SPECIAL about the bird cages niche. The Hermansen
brothers have repeated this process with many different niches, and so have Steve Clayton and
Tim Godfrey. They're confident that YOU TOO can do exactly the same things that they have
done, and their
Niche Blueprint
offering is your key to getting started with this.

QUICK FACTS - WHO CREATED THE NICHE BLUEPRINT?
 |
| Steve Clayton |
The
Niche Blueprint
is the second internet marketing product to issue forth from the partnership formed by
Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey. The first product was
Commission Blueprint, which I enjoyed a great deal. Steve Clayton,
in particular, has mastered the art of creating high-quality informative video tutorials. Anyway,
here's a little background on these two individuals.
Steven Clayton
Steve Clayton is the more forward facing component of this dynamic duo. As he says on his blog,
prior to founding
Worth Overdoing Marketing and Consulting, he was a Vice President
for a $5 billion fortune 500 company in Burlington, NC. After 20 years spent toiling in Corporate
America he left it all behind in 2003 to tackle internet marketing full time. If you want
to follow Steve's activities and postings, you can check out
Steve Clayton's Twitter page.
Tim Godfrey

Tim may be best known online for his excellent
Profit Praxis affiliate marketing solution -
a copy of which I have
secured for you as a bonus when you
pick up the Niche Blueprint through me.
Tim has been marketing online since 2003 and was initially
involved in the Online Gambling Industry. More recently, he has built and sold a number of online
businesses in both the Health and Golf Niches and also runs a small but apparently profitable
trading business.
HOW TO ELIMINATE THE DOWNSIDE TO THE NICHE BLUEPRINT
Is there really a
deficiency in the design of the
Niche Blueprint Platform,
the store with which you will be (hopefully) generating a healthy income?
Well it's not so much a flaw, as it is a
missing element that would be very nice to have.
To understand what this element is, let me tell you why I created my
Review Site software.
In mid 2008 I took
Jeremy Palmer's Black Ink Project. This was a course designed for affiliates, where the objective was to
learn how to
create affiliate web sites that sell. In the second part of the course the
objective was to design a
moderately complex review site that promoted just a few products
or services in a tightly-defined niche.

An $835 Nathan P3 Train Horn
|
As an example, let's say the niche was
train horns. Our site would review the top
train horns (one review page per horn) and also compare the features of all of the horns
on a single product comparison page (which is a format popular with consumers). All of the
links on the site would be affiliate links that directed to a merchant web site.
The
Black Ink Project showed you how to go about creating these sites, but it stopped short
of providing any tool to help you get the job done efficiently, and with style. This was where
I stepped in and created my Review Site software to build these sites rapidly. As a matter of
fact, one of Jeremy Palmer's private Black Ink forums is devoted entirely to questions about this
software (which I moderate).
Well, what if you owned not only the merchant
train horn site
(the purview of the Niche Blueprint platform),
but also
feeder review sites that collected traffic and funneled it into your store? You can
do exactly this with the
15 Review Site licenses that I will be making available as a
bonus when you purchase the Niche Blueprint through any link on this page.
You don't even have to use all the licenses for feeder sites. You can use some of them to
just create regular affiliate review sites and promote any vendor you like - which was the
originally intended use of the software.
Either way, there are lots of opportunities that present themselves to you when you can
create quality review sites as an affiliate. I am certain you will have no problem coming
up with ideas!
By the way, I value this 15 license bundle at just over $1,000 because that is the amount
I would sell these to you if you came to my site today to buy them (you can verify that
by visiting my
Review Site sales page).
MY NICHE BLUEPRINT REVIEW BEGINS HERE. . .
I am tentatively giving the Niche Blueprint package a
5-star rating. This is not based
on having inspected the content of the course (yet), but from having researched the product,
and because I am familiar enough with the content creators to be fairly certain that you'll
get more than your money's worth when you sign on with them.
So what follows here is my preliminary assessment of the offering.
To understand what the
Niche Blueprint is all about, it is worth looking at an earlier
product of Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey, namely
Commission Blueprint, which is still
on the market. That product was aimed at
ClickBank affiliates who promote digital products,
like ebooks, software, and recurring membership packages.
The Niche Blueprint is different, in that it concentrates on the
selling of physical goods.
This is an opportunity that most affiliates pass over, as the idea of profiting from direct selling
- as opposed to collecting sales commission in referrals - is foreign to those who normally do
affiliate marketing only. There are a couple of reason why affiliate marketing of information
products
seems so much more preferrable: the commissions on digital goods can
be as high as 50 to 75 percent, whereas margins on tangible goods are known to be significantly
less. But things are different when you SELL DIRECTLY, and if you can sell
in quantity, and you target the right niche, there is some very real money to be made here.
Sometimes the profitability of a market can be downright surprising.
For instance, would you have thought that there was real money to be made selling
sewing machines,
bird cages, or
train horns? Probably not.
But these are the exact niches that Steve Clayton, Tim Godfrey, and the Hermansen brothers
have cornered, and done astonishingly well with. I have already mentioned the business that
Dave Hermansen built in the bird cages niche which he flipped for
$173,000. There is
no way he'd have been able to do that if the site wasn't bringing in a profit of at least
several thousand dollars per month. In fact, he was consistently making a profit of
$6000/month on that site.
Perhaps you've given some thought to the idea of promoting physical items, or even selling items
directly, but been deterred by the prospect of having to buy inventory? Well, the guys behind the
Niche Blueprint
have got that covered. They have created a
drop shipping business that you get free lifetime
access to as part of the Niche Blueprint package. This in itself saves you the $397 it would
cost, had you deemed it necessary to make use of the nearest drop shipping competitor
(World Wide Brands). They also toss in a year's worth of free hosting services.
The goal of the course is to help you choose a suitable niche, find products that you can
sell, and create an
online store to get going. The Niche Blueprint package provides you with
templates and software to help you build your store and connect it to
Paypal as your payment
processor.
Once your store is running and you are profitable, you'll find instructions on how to go about
selling the site so that you can free up your time and move onto the next project.
CONTENT: TRAINING VIDEOS AND MANUALS
The
Niche Blueprint ships with 9 modules, each of which is composed of one or more
video sessions and manuals. The following is a very brief summary of what is contained
in those modules. Remember, the goal of the course is to help you find a niche that you
can corner, build a store to service the niche, and then drive traffic to the store using
either organic search engine listings OR pay per click advertising.
- Module 1 – Introduction To The Program
(1 video, 3 PDFs) In this section you'll get a complete overview of the course and
an understanding of how to pace yourself as the content comes in and you respond to
the material through learning and action.
- Module 2 – Choosing Your Niche
(3 videos, 4 PDFs) The goal of this section will be to brainstorm the possibilities
of niche selection. This, of course, will be a vital precursor to all that follows.
Unless you attempt to market products that people are hungry to buy you will not
succeed, no matter how well your store is constructed.
- Module 3 – Finding The Suppliers And Pricing Your Products
(2 videos, 3 PDFs) Who will supply the products that line shelves of your virtual store.
This section will introduce you to the new drop shipping service that Steve Clayton and
Tim Godfrey have set up specifically to help clients of the Niche Blueprint platform.
Other sources for product fulfillment are also covered.
- Module 4 – Finding A Domain Name
(1 video, 2 PDFs) Selecting the RIGHT domain name can prove to be an important element
in your eventual success as a merchant. What are the important factors that you need to
consider, and how will your selection of a domain name affect your business?
- Module 5 – Building Your Niche Blueprint Store
(8 videos, 5 PDFs) Members of the Niche Blueprint get access to the Niche Blueprint
E-commerce platform, which allows users to set up and online store and populate its
virtual catalog with goods. Paypal is integrated into the platform for instant payments.
- Module 6 – Getting Customers
(6 videos, 3 PDFs) Unless you know how to bring people to your store you will not sell
anything. Traffic is the lifeblood of all online businesses, and in this module you will
learn what it takes to create a store that is optimized for the search engines. Basically,
you want to make sure Google loves you and rewards you will free traffic. You'll also learn
how NOT to depend on Google or any other search engine for free traffic - you'll master the
concepts of pay per click advertising, an area at which Steve and Tim excel. In fact, the
pair owe most of their success to their mastery in this area.
- Module 7 – Running Your Niche Blueprint Store
(1 video, 2 PDFs) Once you are in business you'll need to make sure things keep running
smoothly. This module is all about keeping the machinery chugging and maintaining profitability.
- Module 8 – Outsourcing
(1 video, 2 PDFs) Ultimately, if you cannot automate all aspects of your store, you may need
to think about oursourcing aspects of it to free up your time so that you can concentrate on
new projects. This section discusses your options and shows you how to find the right people
at the right price to do the job.
- Module 9 – Selling Your Site
(1 video, 3 PDFs) Finally, you have conquered your niche and you have decided it is time to move
on to something else. If you want to flip your site for some quick cash, you'll find the best way
to do it here.
