viral PDF's

Its come to our attention that there is a problem with our viral PDF report. Apparently you need the full adobe writer software to change the links as per our previous instructions. We apologize for our mistake. We just purchased the newest version of VIRAL PDF and will be uploading a new pdf along with the brander.exe so you can brand the PDF yourself. We also have additional PDF reports on deck. Watch for the next newsletter for updates, and thank you for your patience. If you have an urgent need for a branded PDF, please email us and we will do it manually for you.

Solo emails

We just uploaded two sample solo emails here:

http://burnthefat.com/affiliate_area/solo_emails.html

I strongly suggest you write your own solo emails. However, you may copy our solo emails word for word if you like, or use them as templates to give you ideas to write your own. Both of our sample solos are based on highly successful promotions that have already mailed, so these are proven formats. However, keep in mind that your personal endorsement and relationship with your readers can often be the factor that makes or breaks a solo mailing, every bit as much as the sales copy itself. Mediocre copy with total trust will always get better results than great copy with no trust or prior relationship built.

Affiliate training center new lessons added

I get asked constantly about our conversion rates. Our average daily conversion rate is very steady at about 1.2%. However... you might ask, how is it that some affiliates go through 300 clicks without a single sale (zero conversion!), and then give up, while our top affiliates often have 4%, 5%... even 15% conversions? read our latest lesson on conversions to find out:

Conversion Rates 101: How clickbank affiliate marketers can make more sales and increase profits by increasing conversions

In our second affiliate training center update, you will learn the formula for making money with your website, email and clickbank products like Burn The Fat:

That's it for this month's update. Keep your eyes open for the following in the upcoming weeks:

• Rebrandable PDF prepared with VIRAL PDF software, ready to drop your affiliate link into it
• NEW rebrandable PDF reports
• Email mini course
• More reprintable articles

Sincerely,

Tom Venuto, NSCA-CPT, CSCS
Author & Affiliate manager, Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle

PS.It's now official: The "3rd edition" of BFFM is underway and will be released in 2007. I will keep you posted on our progress - there will be new price points and higher commissions, so any work you do now in building pre-sell pages, etc., will pay off even more when the new edition is launched. Stay tuned
