Fantastic approach and one that I have bookmarked for my future launches as well.

I agree with the commentors above too – it begins and ends with credibility. Build that up and you’re definitely on the right track to success!

Excellent information! Free is definitely a way to go as long as you make it quality information for the end user. There’s too much junk floating around the internet that is being given and not enough quality information that a subscriber can use in their own business.

Socrates is an expert to listen to, as are you.

Excellent article Doug. The internet is evolving at a rapid rate and we as marketers have to always look at what’s happening online and adapt accordingly. Personally I think that the changes are good because it hurts scammers and get rick quick artist and helps the serious honest marketers. The power of free makes us better marketers.

Hi Doug,

Great article! There’s a lot of factors that have made affiliate marketing a whole new game compared to years ago. And it’s still evolving. Today there’s more competition (but more people online than ever to market to), search engine algorithms are changing, social networking sites are evolving, and so on. But you touch on the most important aspect of succeeding. The Power of Free.

It’s true you must give before you receive. And if you give and help people first you’ll build your credibility. They’ll trust and like you because you’ve demonstrated you are a knowledgeable expert through the information you give away. This will lower barriers to sales and help boost your affiliate commissions.

Bottom line what you are doing is pre-selling.

And no matter how much you know about SEO, driving traffic, social network marketing, etc. It’s all a waste if you don’t focus on the most important thing. Your credibility, providing good information, etc.

You are absolutely right The Power of Free is important.

I look forward to your next post.

Sincerely,
Eric Bonnici

I agree Doug!

Socrates did a great job with the Resell Rights Fortune launch.

It’s nice to get the inside perspective from someone who promoted this product. Good to see how things worked from the inside. Gives us all an opportunity to know what to expect when we are able to participate in some of these larger launches from the start.

Thanks

Great point you make as the free line has definitely moved and those that use it right can definitely improve their results dramatically.

Doug, a great article. I wasn’t one of the super starts for Resell Rights Fortunes so I didn’t get a lot of the free stuff that Socrates gave away in his contests. However, I did get into the program and participated in the list building videos. I know a lot of things have changed in the internet marketing world, but free and list building are still major players.

You are so right about the power of free. It is so important now when connecting with your list that they want to be learning something. They might be willing to buy something from you but they expect to be learning something in return. If they constantly keep seeing you pitching products they know they can go elsewhere to find out what they want. Looking forward to your next post. Lots of good valuable information

Great thoughts Doug!

I’ve seen over the past few years more and more free quality information being sharred by top marketers to increase their sales, and quality free information is what really makes it happen.

Sure I can throw together a quick MRR product and give it away, but if I share something true quality with results, it will go over much better.
