Hi Jeff,
1. I love the fact you’ve helped others become TOP marketers and heavy hitters to launch their products … Frank Kern & John Reese are my favorites.
2. You live to help so I’d love you to help me pre-launch products using your OFFLINE course!
3. I’ll create dozen mini-niche business in various online niches so your product IS the real-deal and helps me amazingly … I’m sure you’ll over-deliver.
4. I’m from Romania (ever heard of it?)and I’m truly eager to put my hands on your DVDs …
5. Hope we can help each other succeed in the future!
Best Wishes,
Codrut.

Jeff - I get the feeling we are PART of your product launch process - great idea with the contest to build momentum!
After several successful information products, I am launching a powerful new membership site in the coming weeks and know your stuff would help tremendously (**hint), great product already in place to try out your methods.
Cheers…

WOW, What an offer!
Well, I need this course for several reasons but lets go basic here. I am fairly new to this whole system but I am learning. I have seen a lot of systems being used and have developed my own. But I am stone walled as to the process of launching it all. I have only been in the internet business for a few months and developing my own program and system as well as the ebook I am writing is daunting but the launch is harder than I imagined!
The second reason is I am getting ready to leave the working world and open a real store but I am also putting out my OWN products and brand names. But those are going to be prmarily online purchases. So I NEED this program in the worst way. I promised the kids I would give them more time. This is my door way to that time! HELP! Help me launch my program, help me launch my webstore!
October 18th, 2005 at 5:14 pm
Why —> to answer a question I’ve always had about Dick Branson and his tatics in the direct mail market
WHAT —>to launch a health Related website embedded with affilate links to proven health and my own products. Since this is a new site I will be able to put the principle on a new site from the ground up..
October 18th, 2005 at 5:14 pm
Jeff;
Here’s the deal: I went to school for a long time (too long, some would say) in order to be a therapist. When I got out, I discovered a problem –there are only so many hours in a day. . . and once they are full, I’m exhausted, and I have no opportunity to increase my income. PANIC!
But, I also knew I could find a way around this. Since God didn’t respond much with my request for more hours, I discovered I’d better find a new path.
My new path? I wrote an ebook, Save The Marriage. Sales-wise, it worked well. I was, however, over my head. I didn’t have a clue what I was doing from a marketing perspective. I trudged on, found some things out, and created (and am creating) other info-products.
My products are not “how to market on the internet,” but are designed to help people in their daily lives.
Currently, I am completing a course called Beat Depression Now. I am also developing an extended course on marriage, a book on fear, and have already produced two videos on stress.
My need now is to make sure the execution brings maximum results. Can you help???
Faithfully,
Lee

Hey Jeff!
I can’t believe you’re giving away copy of your course! It’s no surprise to me how guys like you, Frank Kern and John Reese are so successful. You’ve got it, man. If I can be half as talented as you guys, I’ll be a lucky man.
Here’s why you should give the free copy to me:
I’m putting the finishing touches to the compiling of a membership site that will really help people in a particular niche. I’m really excited about it!
I have Traffic Secrets, aa well as other top courses, and I feel I’ve got some good savvy now, because of the info.
But your course would be the icing on the cake, Jeff. It’s the thing I feel weakest about, if I’m being honest - actually how to build-up, and launch a product.
I know your course would fill in the blanks. I know with your guidance, I could really get the exposure I think my membership service really needs, to help the people in my niche.
Either way, I hope to meet you at a seminar sometime, and shake you buy the hand and say thanks for the opportunity…
Good luck with your own product launch, and I hope it’ll be as successful as you deserve it to be!
Much Love and Thanks,
Scotty Stevens

I was so excited when I got your email that said there would be a 3-payment option for ‘Product Launch Formula’ but then I kept reading . . . WOW! A chance to win a free copy - and all I’ve gotta do is tell you how I’d use it. No problem. I’ve been dreaming about it since I found out the Product Launch Formula was on its way.
I’m an entrepreneur. I always have been. I create solutions to problems (because it’s fun) and do my best to get others to pay for them - this time I want to go big. REALLY BIG. I’m working on a web application now that will generate custom flyers that real estate agents can use to sell their homes. We’ve all seen them, their the flyers that are in those little clear plastic boxes attached to for sale signs.
My application makes creating flyers easy which saves the agents’ time, which makes them more money, which THEY ALL WANT.
Here’s why I need the course.
1. The product is almost ready (I’ll give you a sneak peek if you’d like) and I want to create anticipation for the initial launch.
2. I have a very clearly defined market - there are approximately 1,000,000 REALTORs in the US.
3. My niche market is not-at-all related to internet marketing or making money on the internet.
4. There is nothing else like my product out there.
5. My idea is *already in action*. You will see results just as quickly as I can implement the information you’re going to give me.
Thanks for the chance. I’m looking forward to getting my copy of the Product Launch Formula set!

Hi Jeff,
I’m getting ready to launch a new Personal Interviewing service through www.LifeBio.com. See my ideas in action at www.lifebio.com. Not only do we provide “do-it-yourself” autobiography/biography tools using our web template (and my book, the Memory Journal)…now they can even have our interviewers call mom, dad, or a grandparent to create a voice recording. I’m launching as soon as possible so the recordings are done by Christmas & Hanukkah. So many people need help with their own or a loved one’s life story that I need to launch this in a big way!

Hi Jeff,
We talked a lot at Joel’s MLB conference 2.5 years ago, and it’s been fun watching your successes ever since!
Your course looks perfect for me, because within a couple months I’m going to do what I intend to be a huge “Rediscover Think and Grow Rich” package roll-out.
And–I feel–with your course by my side, that intention would become a reality, and perhaps 800 more up-and-coming entrepreneurs would develop the “Burning Desire” as well as “Organized Plan” to direct their own intentions into great online success…
Than I could do this campaign without your proven successful Product Launch Formula!
I’d also love to tell my list of 65,500 people about it, also, yet mainly my burning desire is to become a glowing example of how well anyone can take your ideas and make a fortune with them.
Thank you much, Jeff, and I appreciate the sincerity of your offer here, to help the one person destined to do the most with what you’ve created.
I’m the one!
That’s a promise.
Sincerely,
Dan
October 18th, 2005 at 5:19 pm
Thanks Jeff!
Frankly, I’m strong on product creation, but have always known myself to be weak in the marketing aspect.
Sure - I’ve helped dozens of others over the past 6 years, to get their own online businesses set up and making profit. But sometimes I feel like a plumber who doesn’t have running water in his own house.
If you could take a look at all the “near ready” products on my hard drive - you’d understand immediately!
What will I DO with Product Launch Formula?
I’ll eat it and breathe it until I understand it fully. Then I will start LIVING it!
Wishing all the best

I’d like the free copy of the course, for a few reasons.
First and foremost, I’ll put it to use. I’m not a procrastinator, nor do I give up easily.
Secondly, I’ve tried to launch 5 products over the last year and none of them have done well. However, each has been better than the last because I’ve taken the lessons I’ve learned and applied it to the next launch.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a huge list to blast a product launch to and I haven’t been successful with doing joint ventures because of my lack of success. I know your techniques will help me overcome these obstacles.
Despite these challenges, I keep trying because I believe with perseverance, I will be successful soon.
If I’m awarded this course, I’ll put it to use immediately and make you proud.
October 18th, 2005 at 5:23 pm
Jeff,
First of all thanks for everything you have provided so far. I can honestly say that the free information you have given over the past several weeks is worth more to me than many courses I have purchased in the past.
Here is my little story:
I have been active online for several years and in that time I have created many websites. Some sites have done well and others—how do I say this—have completely bombed.
Now, the good news is that I had taken action and built up my business so that it was my full time obsession. I was fortunate in that I didn’t have a job to worry about. And I was doing well online, and doing what I loved.
However, I had some personal family situations that needed my attention. And without getting into a sob story here—the end result is that I was forced to neglect my websites for the better part of a year. Advertising was turned off,etc. Sales went down to a fraction of their former results.
Now, I am finally in a position to get back to work–but I don’t want to be satisfied with my past level of performance. I want to use the framework I have already developed to “relaunch” these sites so that they make a big splash in the marketplace and so that my income levels jump.
I see your course as the tool that will allow me to do this.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

As a physical product marketer, I have been following with keen interest developments in the internet marketing industry. Ever since, I was introduced to you via Yanik’s underground seminar CD & DVDs, I have been strategizing ways to implement your techniques in the physical product market. It is my vision to succesfully use your course to prove that your techniques are universally applicable regardless of product and services.
Based on its success, I plan to develop a joint venture with an info-product or internet marketer to use my success as a case study to launch an “Insider secrets to benchmarking infoprenuers” product. This product will target the physical products imterprenuers. Most e-commerce Interprenuers just know what’s happening in the internet marketing world. They just don’t get it and I believe that is a fertile ground for business and I want to be the one to introduce them to the light…..
October 18th, 2005 at 5:23 pm
Jeff,
Your timing for this contest is excellent, I hope my entry is the winner. I am preparing the launch of my first product which is related to the Christmas season. The potential audience is very large and the people that buy this product will receive much entertainment from it - not only this Christmas season but every one here after. I am puting the finishing touches on this product plus completing my sales message (as best I can). So the web site does not have any mention of the product yet but it will be in place within the next week or two.
Thanks for your consideration and for being so generous with the information you have provided me thus far.
Regards.

Hi Jeff,
I am the co-founder of two nonprofit charity foundations. My board members and I need the information in your course to help launch new online fundraisers that involve the sale of written and audio information products.
We have products ready to go. So your material would be a blessing in helping us properly market the products.
Our goal is to be the first nonprofit foundation to raise large sums of money by this type of product marketing to not only help our charity causes, but to also show other nonprofits that it can be done.
We thank you in advance for your time, consideration and support. Many Blessings, Reggie Cochran

Jeff,
I love your contest idea!
To get right to the point…
WHY I need your course is that for the past few weeks I have been helping my father develop an information product targeted to the aviation marketplace.
About a month and a half ago my Dad was rather suddenly laid off from his job at a major airline where he has worked for the past 23 years.
Because of repeated, forced job relocations over the past few years my father has found himself deeply in debt, with very little savings left when this sudden job loss occurred.
He and my mother have had to move into a spare bedroom in my home, while he works on getting back on his feet.
Having seen the success I’ve had online over the past few years, and after having very little luck trying to find a new job (in his late 50’s, very few employers seem to be eager to hire him) he asked me to help him develop on online income stream to help him avoid bankruptcy.
So for the last few weeks I’ve been helping him develop and set up the marketing for an aviation related info product. The product is a 2 part system, with a lower priced ebook on the front end and a higher priced CD/DVD course on the backend. The full course should be ready to launch within the next 30 to 45 days.
WHAT I would like to use your invaluable system for is to help my father launch his new product n a BIG way. Securing him a nice chunk of change from the initial launch to get him back on his feet, AND setting him up with an income stream to let him “retire” earlier than he would have been able to, even if he had not been laid off.
So, Jeff…
Your course would help me to help my Dad turn one of the darkest periods in his life into a golden opportunity.
And it would help me give a little bit back to the man to whom I owe so much…
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Jeff,
Wow! A copy of your course… FREE? That’d be great!
WHY do I need it?
I run an info-publishing business in a crowded field - and I’m always on the lookout for something that will build excitement in my customers. I realize that many of my customers are bored to tears with their lives… so creating some tension, creating some excitement, creating a story - is so important for setting myself apart. After watching a few major product launches (which you had a major hand in), I now realize the master at perfecting this technique is you. So it’s an absolute MUST that I get my hands on your Product Launch course.
Plus, I really need to get it for as little money as possible… and “Free” sounds perfect. Without going into the gruesome details, I recently went through a very painful divorce … and gave up about 90% of the assets I had built up - so my wife would allow me to have joint custody of my daughter. (Yes, we could’ve fought it out and I could’ve gotten half of everything, but my wife told me she was willing to keep this in the courts forever - and bankrupt me with attorney fees, if necessary.) Anyway, I forked over almost everything I had built up in my business… and I’m pretty much starting over from scratch. I’ve got my wits, I’ve got a renewed excitement for my info-marketing business, and starting anew with a cool tool like your Product Launch product would be awesome! I’d love to jump back out there, make back all of the money I gave up (and then some), and get my life back in order.
Unfortunately, at this time, I’m struggling to keep my business afloat. I’m still in a 3-year lease at my office… and I’m pulling in just enough right now to keep the lights on and pay my office manager. But that’s about it. I’m not asking you for sympathy. I know you don’t know me. I just thought I’d give you the “straight dirt” about why I really NEED the course (and why I need to get the free copy).
WHAT will I use it for?
Well, I guess I already jumped the gun on that question. I’m going to use it to make back my lost investments faster than ever. I’m going to use it to build my business… and launch a lot of new products. Because of the predicament I’m in, I’ve never worked harder than I’m working right now. I’m in “overdrive” - and I’m constantly working on new products. I just finished two products in the last 2 weeks… with three more on the way. The only thing I know to do to get myself out of a jam is to work harder, create more, and sell more. And that’s the plan. With your Product Launch course, I know I can take my sales and marketing skills to the next level… launch some of these ready-to-go products waiting to be released… and really hit some amazing home-runs! I know how quickly things can go from good to bad… but I also know how amazingly fast things can go from bad to great. And I’d like to believe that your course would be the perfect tool for launching this next stage in my life… and help me move from this uncertain time to a more financially stable situation.
WHY should you award it to me?
I’ve added an additional question to answer. I hope you don’t mind. I think you should award it to me, because…
1. I’ll actually use it. I’ve been doing info-marketing since I was 15 (19 years ago)… and I’m constantly marketing. It’s the only thing I know - and it’s what I love. Your course won’t sit on the shelf, gathering dust. I’ll actually go through the entire system, take copious notes, and put it into action! That’s a solid-gold guarantee.
2. Most importantly, though, is that once I use it (over and over again) and get amazing results… I’ll be a phenomenal testimonial for any additional products, services, teleseminars, courses, seminar speeches, etc. you launch (Check out any of Dan Kennedy’s or John Carlton’s products - and you’ll spy my specific, results-oriented testimonials.) In exchange for your course, I guarantee to give you at least 10 times your “investment” in social proof for any upcoming products you might sell. So instead of just giving me your course, it’s more like an “investment”.
If you’re looking to really help someone who needs it… AND get many times the amount of your course back in testimonials and specific results, then I hope you’ll seriously consider me for your course.
Thank you, Jeff. I appreciate you taking the time to read this rather lengthy explanation.
Have a great one!
Best Wishes,
Jeff G.

Your Product Launch System sounds, not just what I NEED,
but what also I WANT to launch my Information Business on the Internet! About me: I am an old grey beard in that I placed my first direct responce ad in an Irish trade magazine over 30 years ago. The “product” was a
Do-It-Yourself Will Kit that consisted of just 4 pages!
Two pages to fill out–and two instruction pages. The response was terrific–and I was bitten by the
magic of “Salesmanship in Print.” I have just created my first Internet Info Product–”How to Make $50,000–
$160,000 in the Home Cleaning Business.” It includes 9
actual case histories (I interviewed the owners of 9 successful cleaning businesses–and talked them into
telling me all their trade secrets. And, since I have
also launched 7 businesses if my own (not cleaning) I have also included about 200 success tips of my own.
My “Home Cleaning Business Plan” runs to 130 pages and csts $97…but, in addition to the 12-month 100%
money-back guarantee, I am also throwing bonus e-book
worth $291–that’s three times the cost of the Plan.
And,these need not be returned if, for any reason, a
purchaser decides to retuen my cleaning business plan.
Jeff,I imagine you know just by reading this that I am
capable of writing a mini-book listing all the reasons
how and why I could benefit from your product–but because I can imagine how busy you are–enough already!
I wrote, not just because I love a contest and a personal challwnge, but also because “An Opportuity Is a Terrible Thing to Waste.” Entrepreneurialy yours, John J.O’Callaghan, CEO, Entrepreneur’s Network, Inc.

Hi Jeff,
I wanted to be one of the first to respond to your offer. A chance to get your course absolutely free would be the ultimate bonus and SUCCESS formula I could bring to my business right.
I have followed your emails and launch formula and you definitely know how to pull off an official launch (pay day).
As you can see from my website posted above I’m currently working in a niche market within the spa industry. The product I’m selling is geared to help other entrepreneurs and business owners succeed. Not a bunch of mumbo jumbo but actual field tested tools and templates to shorten the learning curve to get their phone ringing off the hook.
I am very passionate about my service offering and find it brings great value to this niche and the business owners within it. If every one could obtain a copy of my product on my 1000 plus list, I think each person would be better off in their marketing efforts. I receive complaints all the time that the greatest challenge many entrepreneurs face is effective “marketing.” After proving the methods in the field and implementing them into my own business I now each person will benefit.
But here’s the problem Jeff not everyone in this industry knows about the product yet and the other products I’m working on. That is value I am NOT bringing to the marketplace. Yes I believe you must bring true value to your customers otherwise you will not last long. I launched my product in mid August with just one e-mail… yes one e-mail, no formula, no method just one e-mail. Now was I happy with the sales I received? Yes because it’s all profit no matter how minuscule the sales were. It was a chance to see my months and I mean months of hard work pay off. It was definitely not a $370K in 9 minutes launch. But some sales just the same.
This is where your formula and teachings would have really helped a nose to the grind entrepreneur like myself succeed.
I will use your formula to “re-launch” my product… the Right Way and “launch” other products I have on the burner just waiting to hit the marketplace.
The decision is yours Jeff … I would truly embrace the chance to learn from your formula and help me put my ideas into action!
If your “Product Launch Formula” describes the system your using right now to promote your product there is some huge value and YES I would be a Happy Camper!
For your consideration,
John Uhrig
October 18th, 2005 at 5:32 pm
Dear Jeff,
As soon as I read your first e-mail when I subscribed to your list I have been nothing but impressed. Not just that you have accomplishments that speak for themselves but you surround yourself with the top folk in the industry and that is “social proof” enough for me to tell you my “why” and “what” I would want to use your course. I recently purchased the url www.KnowledgeForWealth.com. Now if you were to go to that address you will find the “site under construction” page there. I am putting together a product that will be useful to all wanting to make a living on the Internet. I am going to censor some of my ideas here due to the copycats out there but I have something I am creating that is so simple for all to read, use and implement. I have a limited budget on which I am operating on and I am slowly but surely placing the monies necessary to get each facet of my program together. I am taking into account that everyone and there mother has something to make someone else money on the Internet so I am in great need to the correct “product launch formula”. I am sure I won’t be the only one to tell you that the social proof call was a tremendous informational tool to keep everyone on there game and realize what they may need to implement in their business (not just a website) in order to take advantage of social proof.
It’s my ultimate goal to one day be able to help folks. Kind of in the same circle as yourself Jeff, John Reese, Yanik Silver, Jim Edwards, etc.
A lot of people can tell you “why” the want to use your product. A lot of people can tell you “what” they will use if for. I think I want to tell you my goal of using a product like yours. I want to prove not only to myself, you and the Internet marketing community that a tried and true “formula” can actually take a product to the moon. I want to show my wife that the long hours I spend on the internet aren’t a waste of time so she can get a taste of “social proof” not in just the money that it may make but the actual response, and how powerful it is.
So in conclusion, I hope that what I say not only rings the bells in the heads of all of the other Internet Entrepreneurs but it sets a tone in which all folks can follow in there trek to become successful on the Internet.
Thanks for the opportunity to get a chance to even contest for your course.

hi,
I have made up my mind to build my very own 100 million $ company within the next two years it is something I have never attempted before and will be the adventure of a lifetime..but the reason I am writing this today is I believe in the power of synchronicity.. I believe your product would help me greatly in this prospect as there are no accidents..I would love to learn more about your offering however I also recognize that there are other fellows who also need your expertise, and in the end I recognize the one and only that you need to listen in your life which is just YOU ..so do as your heart wishes… I just dropped my two cents in the universal pool of abundance.. with that I thank you and wish you the best with whatever your heart chooses..
thank you very much
sincerely

Hi Jeff,
I think the idea of this contest is great because I for
one will probably not be able to afford what you will
asking for it.
I have been online since 2000 and I have taken many eCourses and read so many eBooks and still can’t seem to even break the $100 mark.
I have a few plans in the works for different niches and I plan to build a website and blog for each of them. But one thing is holding me back and that is the right training to even get started.
I believe that your new course will be able to help me make my online dream “finally” come true.
October 18th, 2005 at 5:35 pm
Jeff
It’s not that I need your course because quite frankly I could quite happily contine applying what I’ve learnt from marketers like Mark Joyner, John Reese, Yanik Silver, Jay Abrahams and many more eminent entrepreneurs and still accomplish my goals.
However, the facts remain, the Internet landscape is changing and to keep abreast of the pace of change I have to incorporate all the tools and knowhow into my marketing to be effective.
Emotionally, I need to invest in what your course can do for my bank account. But your course will also fill a gap that’s missing in my marketing aresenal.
Bottom line, I’ve learnt the value of leveraging from the knowledge of people who can walk the talk. I believe you fit the bill of a “walker talker’. So Jeff, I’m not really investing in your course, I’m investing in your credentials and integrity to impart practical information of value that I can follow to short cut my goal to make $1.5 million by 18 April 2010.
So, your will fills an important gap that will ultimately shorten the time it takes me to realize my $1.5 million goal.
Projects I’m working on:
1. Marketing book for small businesses
2. Risk planning package (software and tutorial) for small businesses.
3. Document management software
4. Email and audio integrated security application for private and oublic sector
5. Two step (Internet combined with offline) marketing of info products video home study courses
Your course will help me to boost sales and profit from launching above products.

What a tremendous pressure to tell my story in order to capture the attention of the “gift giver”…but here is why I would like to win. My family has been in constant flux since 911 and the market crash, the fazing out of my 30 year old business, and my husband’s 6 month unemployment recently. Struggling to maintain an income from my business, I have been unable to contribute to the household income. My spouse is very supportive but patience thinning. Looking for a J-O-B just reminded me that running a very successful business for 30 yrs. does not make you hiring material. My recent attempt to learn all I can about online commerce is beginning to pay off with the sites I am building (no real income yet)but I am running out of funds and education. Please consider awarding this course to me–a big part of my life now is in giving back to those along the way who helped me in my business. Teach me so that I may give back with a better knowledge and experience.
Thank you for the opportunity,
yours,

Hi Jeff:
I’m stuck. I’ve been working for the same company for 15 years and want out. Real bad. I haven’t had a raise in eons and the prices of everything keeps going up. My wife is a stay-at-home mom of 2 young kids so ditch the second income idea. So I want–no, need to do something else. I have an idea to start a niche creative agency that provides fast brand-building ideas. The big agencies take too long and often lose opportunities for their clients. I have an idea to speed all that up. But I need help in the how-tos of launching this idea so I don’t waste another 15 years making someone else rich.
Sincerely,
Howard

Jeff:
I need your help. I started the struggle with internet marketing, like many others, with not much idea of how, what, how much, etc. I have spent literally thousand’s of dollars on some good and a lot of bad advice and products. It is tough when starting to know exactly what you need for products, software, adword strategy, etc. Every one seems to have some ‘expert’ ideas and they all want a lot of money for them. I need a point in the right direction on what and how to market. With all the marketing ideas and tools out there, it is so overwhelming. I had promised my wife and grandson, who lives with us on a part time basis, that this would be a good investment and we could make money on internet affiliate programs. So far, it’s only cost me a lot, with very little income. However, I am determined to make a go of this before I retire in 3 years. I will not give up. If I was selected for your course, it could get me on the right track and possibly help my self and family with some income, instead of expenses. I also believe in the philosophy that people need to help people, or what is it all for? Yes, we need to make a living, but not at the expense of misleading others as I have found out in a lot of the other material I have purchased. If your course is a gold mine, then I will be a miner with gold fever for learning.
Thanks for taking the time to read my story.

I am a mid-50’s computer guy. I have been a contractor since 1980 and in 2003 decided to do ’something else’.
I started looking into ‘Internet Marketing’ but have just recently decided that marketing to non-marketers is really the way to go (for me). I want to sell something that will work and be exactly what my customer wants vs ‘just a dream’. I recently found a product that was created by another marketer that worked for me so well, in a niche that covers nearly everyone, that I want to market this thing as an affiliate. I have signed up with this marketer already and am using several tools to build my site (not my current site). I am a little ‘low budget’ since I haven’t pulled much cash since the end of 2002 (not complaining) but I think your product coud be the impetus to put me over the top. I hope my story conveys the desire I have to succeed at this. I will launch my idea in any case, regardless. Thanks for this opportunity to compete in a friendly way for a superior tool. Lief

I believe I am the best candidate for the prize because
1- I am a foreigner (non English speaking), I have a knot in my guts because by buying this product I am taking a risk by implementing these strategies to a non English speaking market and non English products.
2- I am woman and I work only with women, women don’t get much help in this time and age because they think they are equals of men.
3- If I win I will refer this product to my list permanently.
4- I started my business from scratch, wth very little capital and no experience, yet I am still on my feet with all the difficulties and lack of support. Thank you

I’ve been in Sales for nearly 20 years, started in Encyclopedia Sales, followed by Pharmaceutical and most Recently a VP of Sales & Marketing for a Michigan based ISP for the last 8 years. All of my sales experience points to direct sales, face to face and phone. After I hit a wall two weeks ago I resigned my position, gave two weeks notice and now find I must use the relationships I’ve nurtured for the last 8 years mixed with those I’ve just developed in the last 24 hours, to launch my own business.
No longer will I be required to sell ancient technology for an overpriced ISP to people and organizations within a 50 mile radius. I have the whole world as MY new sales territory and there just isn’t any better way to market IT products and services to people that need them then on the Net.
I wnat to position myself in the next several months to take advantage of the VoIP boom we are about to experience and Product Launch just might be the key to put me over the top. It looks from the pictures of discs and manuals I’ve seen, that it will be one hell of a program. At this moment it’s 5pm, and I’m about to put a close on Day2 in this new endeavour. Day 1 went way past midnite, I sincerely hope product launch can shorten 18hour work days.
(p.s. the url is a redirect at the moment but will be my own work in the next few weeks)

My partner and I are currently promoting an e-book called the Faith-Patch Manual. We intend to come out with a second product for Social Ministries and Churches to help them develop and grow their ministries and non profit organizations on line to gain members, donations, search engine visibility and parishioner friendly Web sites. We feel their is a strong need for this type of product and a potential market of more than 50,000 such organizations. We would like to launch the product, consisting of an instructional manual and CDs, in a meaningful way.We feel a proper launch could have social benefits for participating organizations, and a substantial profit potential for ourselves. we are in the development stage now, and could have the product ready to launch within a month.
Thank you,

Dear Jeff,
I am an old timer, not in knowledge but in years.
I have purchased a world of internet marketing products as I see it as something I would to like
be involved with.
A couple of lifetimes have passed me by but I still have hope! I have followed your Product Launch Formula since I first heard your name and who you are associated with. If, in your wisdom,you choose
me as your winner,I promise to do my best to make
you proud.

Hi Jeff,
I’ve been selling clothing to a group of ladies belonging to the Red Hat Society (they are ladies 50 and older who have the purpose to stay young, have fun, and enjoy life). They get all dressed up in Purple clothes with Red Hats and you may see groups of them around your town.
I’ve been using eBay for the past year with auctions and an eBay store to sell and I am now working on getting my website ready to launch for the holiday season.
I even have had my own line of clothing made that is unique to the market place.
I don’t have a huge list of ladies but over the past year I have physical addresses of close to 500 names and I was going to do a postcard campaign for those people to bring them back to my new site.
I also have a few hundred people on my eBay newsletter list as well as on another newsletter.
I would really love to be able to learn some of the techniques of product launching to this group and for a product that is not an information product.
Your new product is great timing for me and having put a rather large amount of money into the products I could sure use the opportunity to win!
Thanks and I’ve enjoyed all your info on Social Proof!

Jeff,
I am self taught on the internet as well as in marketing. I have driven 50% increases per year on our company website and know that I can do even more. I love results and your program looks like it will produce results.
Perhaps the main reason I want this course is really not for me, but for my son-in-law, Dave (although I will use it). He is very gifted creatively and is trying to start his own business. He is in the process of creating websites for some of his friends without cost so he will have a portfolio. Let me tell you, when I saw his work, I was stunned by his creative abilities. I was a little concerned that he would give away so much of his time for free and was also concerned that one of his “free clients” was so demanding of his time and talent.
He needs to learn the techniques you are so willing to share, not only for himself, but to take care of me in my old age (just kidding).
Dave and I are working together on a church website and we would really like a push to get this going well - to reach those in our community. I see so many areas where your program can help. Not just help individuals get “rich”, but help in community efforts - to help people - to reach the lost, the unloved, the helpless become a part of a community where they can grow to be who God wants them to be.
Blessings on your day,
Cindy

You should definitely not give me the free course, even though I’m POSITIVE it rocks. I’m only writing because I have the utmost respect for you as a person first (you know why) and a marketer second.
Of course, if you WANT to give me the course, I promise I will study and implement it. I’m a rabid student of quality information and yours always blows me away.
October 18th, 2005 at 5:48 pm
Hi Jeff
I’ve been following your launch of Product Launch Formula with particular interest.
I have been buying and absorbing internet and direct marketing information for about four years, though have little to show in terms of positive, cash-in-the-bank results. I am fully aware that this is because I start taking action, then get distracted with the next “information hit”!
It’s taken me four years to break the habit(!), and I’m incredibly grateful for the knowledge and information I gained from the likes of Corey Rudl, Dan Kennedy, Gary Halbert, Mark Joyner, John Reese and Frank & Ed, among many others.
Why do I need the course?
Because I am currently launching a new business with my partner Andrea. The website is http://www.fairytag.com. Fairy Tag is because you are loved, and will sell exclusive & gorgeous gifts and cards for the people you love.
Andrea and I are taking massive action! We are launching the website on 11/11 and you can see from the blog at the above website that we are attempting to create a buzz. We are organising a pre-launch party for 6 November at a local hotel and are inviting local TV, radio and press along with loads of our friends and family.
I have organised for local businesses to contribute prizes for a draw on the evening - and invited them along as well.
Everyone who comes on the 6th will obviously get a series of countdown emails to the launch on the following Friday.
So, on reflection we don’t acutally *need* your course. We’re taking the action we think is necessary to create a buzz about our launch.
However, I am in no doubt that having your course will give us a shortcut to results that we can probably only dream about now. I’ve heard it said many times that if you want to be successful, find someone who has the success you want and just do what they do.
What am I going to do with your course?
I am going to get inside the head of the man recognised as one of the top product launchers in the world and do what he tells me to get maximum results with the launch of our new business!
Whatever happens, I hope the launch of “Product Launch Formula” exceeds your expectations!
Warmest regards
Pete Dickson

Hi Jeff,
Its nice that you are giving one lucky person
the key to his happiness and showing him how to
unlock the door without charging him for either
of it. Good for him and good for you.
Well i dont know what your product costs normally
but by the look of it and taking your reputation
in mind and how highly you are rated by your peers,
i am assuming that i wont be able to afford it.
Very low on resources currently, seems like i have
stepped over a black cat and came back and stepped
over it again
The above statement says why i need your product.
Well i dont have any product, but i would learn from
your resource and would then market products which
are worth selling and which adds value to the buyer
(I am sure you are aware about the fact that there are
too many product out there in the market which are
not even worth the HTML they are written in). Would
try to sell your product as well and in the process
makes some decent money, buy myself a nice house and
get married and raise a happy family and then try
to help someone in the same way you would be helping
me by providing your course free.
Thats the reason why i need to have this course which
i would have bought if i had the resource but not
in the financial health currently.
Though i need this course very badly but if you feel
that there is someone who needs/deserves it more than me, then by all means go ahead with him/her.
BTW, I am based in Mumbai, India
Thank You Jeff, wish you more success in your endeavours.
Warm Regards

NB: I am sure by the end of it, there would be hundreds of comment and someone would be very happy on Thursday night… hope he/she is someone who really needs it.
Update: When i started writing this there was no comment,when i went to post it there was 30 already and some very deserving one. Goes on to prove your popularity Jeff
October 18th, 2005 at 5:54 pm
I am a newbie at all this and am lucky enough to have found some great health products, but I have no idea how to promote them. I have built a website but now I’m stuck. What next?
I don’t want to join the mass of folks trying just to help themselves - I want to help more people improve their quality of life by getting access to the products.
If you know of anyone - family, friends, acquaintances or neighbours who have any health problems relating to high blood pressure, heart complaints, high cholesterol, diabetes, asthma or arthritis - then these products can truly help them, but the information needs to be seen and applied by many, many more.
Now I need to spread the word to as many people as humanly possible and I know that with the reach of the Web, this has to be the best way.
October 18th, 2005 at 5:55 pm
Hi Jeff..
You are going to have lots to read:)
With a teaser email like that, who could resist making a post?
Well one way or another I will have to get your product, with the site I am working on right now it will make a GREAT TEST CASE
After 14 months, some of my sites are getting there, building income and lists and that comes from watching and learning! We draw many inspirations from many people, John Reese for his $1million Dollar Day and the late and great Corey Rudl for his enthusiasm for ideas and life…
I have enjoyed reading your six in seven emails and remember first reading about you from Johns letter after he made that million day!
My next project will make use of your product in more ways than you might think and I would be interested to see how prepared you were to let one go:)
Anyway, enough about my ideas and sites… this blog is great, the site is smacking away at the rankings and you are certainly walking the talk this month!!
Keep up the good work, and if you are interested in sharing my idea about your free copy, pop on over to my blog and leave me a comment!

Enjoy your reading… hope it does not delat the launch??

Hi Jeff -
I saw your video and love your product.
I have been in business for 8 years as a consultant in software engineering. I really love what I do and give a lot to my customers. My goal is always to teach them what I know and work my way out of a job. I wish I could help more people be successful by applying what I know to their jobs, but there is only one of me.
During the last 8 years I have been working a little at a time to put what I know into a set of materials. I have worked really hard on this, doing a lot of thinking about how to present the material in a way that other people can learn. The real excitement for me is when someone else has that “Aha!” moment. A lot of people have seen my materials in the classes I teach and they have given me great feedback, so that the materials have constantly improved over the years.
I would really love to get my materials to as many people as I can in my market, because I think it can make a big difference for them in their jobs.
I know next to nothing about marketing, though I’ve been learning a lot from folks like Brad Callen who has a marvelous SEO course. Just that one bit - search engine optimization - has been a real eye opener for me, and I am eager to learn more.
Marketing is the “missing link” in my career, and it appears to be what I need at this point to go from making a living to being successful.
I need your course because I have so much to learn and you have so much to offer.
I actually have product ready to go (a self-study course for people learning to write good software requirements and extensive instructor notes for people who want to teach the techniques to others), and have it on my website in my catalog.
Now I’m trying to figure out how to tell people about it in a way that generates excitement about the product (the more excited they are, the more likely they will actually read and use the product).
I will figure out a way to market my materials because it is important to me to do this. Your course would make it much easier for me to accomplish my goals.
I very much appreciate not just this opportunity, but all the work you do to help people trying to sell their products and services.
Every act of kindness
begets more acts of kindness
until the the kindness comes
full circle
Warmest regards -

Elbow Internet Marketing Technologies was recently formed to perform all types of internet-related optimizations - from SEO, to sales process, to (you guessed it!) product launches - for our clients.
Our very first marketing excercise will be to the BMW dealerships of North America. We have a site design approved by BMW USA, and have sold a couple of copies of it to local BMW dealerships, who in turn now dominate the search engines for localized searches and generate significantly more leads (and close far more of those leads) than ever before.
Elbow’s objective is to capitalize upon these local successes and take our products and services to the national arena. We already have various marketing collateral in the design phase, including a postcard, a follow up letter, and are creating a case-study to place on the site (to which the postcard will refer visitors). All of these are available for review at your request.
Our ‘BMW Campaign’ is due to start in 3 weeks - enough time for us to complete the development of the new website.
However, during this period, we fully intend to utilize the Product Launch Formula to ensure a phenominal opening!
Our future plans include developing similar sites for Mercedes and other luxury automobile dealerships, with a 3 year goal of dominating this niche.
Of course, we’ll be selling all of our clients on the Product Launch Formula, and are looking forward to crediting our future successes, and those of our clients, to it.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions at your earliest convenience.

Hi Jeff, thanks for organizing this contest to help out action-oriented entrepreneurs win a free copy of your Product Launch Formula! U ROCK!
Well, for starters, after working in Corey Rudl’s office for 9 months (I could tell you some really juicy stories
and making the wild & crazy jump towards self-employment 5 years ago, I started working as an SEO Pro servicing small business owners kick butt over their competitors in the search engines. It has really offered me a priceless opportunity to be at home with my lovely wife, Sarah and two wonderful children, Victoria & Anthony.
With a massive curiosity and insane desire to try out cutting edge strategies for clients and myself, I threw myself at blogging a couple of years ago. First with Blogger, then with Wordpress. And now, it’s the only way I build sites, which gain outrageously improved results than static html sites. Some sample blogs I’ve built are:
- www.cupofsunshine.com (neighbourhood cafe blog)
- www.abundantlivingonline.com (Holly Cotter’s blog)
- www.creeksideonline.org (church blog)
- www.smartstrategiesinc.com (business coaching blog)
- www.lawfirmcoaching.org (law marketing blog)
- www.redefinitionministries.com (women’s ministries blog)
- www.tylercarson.com (tribute blog for a friend who passed away)
Returning to your question of: WHY do I need the course and WHAT am I going to use it for?
I’m in the middle of creating the most comprehensive (to date), beginner-to-advanced, non-geek-speak, video tutorials for internet marketers, affiliate marketers and mainstream business owners. It will demystify the ‘complexity’ or ‘geek-ness’ of blogging with Wordpress, and the benefits of being my customer (with all its ongoing support) will massively outweigh the investment in my easy-to-follow video tutorials.
Jeff, I NEED your product launch formula product to help me launch my video series on Wordpress blogging! I’m going to devour that puppy and utilize its strategies to pre-launch, launch and post-launch this product at www.wordpresstutorials.com (blank page there, waiting for content from your PLF product
. In addition, I have 7 other topics that are already planned for 2006 that would pay homage to your strategies!
Jeff, WITH or WITHOUT your product launch formula, I am and will launch this video series within the next 6 weeks. It’s my first product ever, and I’m passionate about sharing with my customers all my blood, sweat, tears, time and money in discovering the gold in blogging with Wordpress. However, armed with your Product Launch Formula, it’ll revolutionize the quality and quantity of my Wordpress Tutorials launch.
I’ll be super appreciative of your generosity when I win your contest, and so will my family, and customers, because with your strategies, it’ll enlarge the businesses and lives of those who benefit from my video tutorials.
Thanks once again for your time and generosity, Jeff!
Cheers, Sherman Hu

Why I need this product?
First of all, the name you see posted is not my real name, and… the reason for me using a fake name has to do with why I need my Product Launch Formula, but… more on that in a sec.
Reason #1:
Because your method will be tested in a niche that no other direct marketer is currently in.
And it’s a niche that’s got way (way) more buyers than smart marketers.
I started this business right smack in the middle of the worst personal time in my life… bankruptcy… loss of a grandparent… loss of a long-term girlfriend.
Today though, I realized how much good it did me to go through all of that at once. You see, I had NO IDEA about marketing (online or off) so those setbacks gave me the strength to move forward.
But… I’m beginning to see some competition that’s doing a lot of direct-response style marketing.
It’s not all that great, but I could tell they’re coming along, so… that leads me to:
Reason #2:
Your method will be used to ensure that the business I’ve built stays on top because I know that my competition is right around the corner.
And finally…
Reason #3:
Because this market is so hot right now, I’d like to partner up with someone (like you… hint, hint) who not only’s a veteran marketer, but, sounds like a really cool, honest, down-to-earth kinda guy.
The “What” is simple:
To launch 7 more products (already developed and currently being duplicated), and to re-launch my most successful product, which although has been great, is losing some steam (so I’d like to re-package it and re-launch it).
I read everyone’s comments and I really don’t envy you because everyone’s got great reasons to get the Product Launch Formula.
The difference is that the market I’m in gets no attention from the “big boys” and truly is huge. Because of that it makes it a true win-win situation that I get my Product Launch Formula.
Respectfully,
Mr. X
P.S. The reasons I used the name “Don” instead of my real name is just in case my competition sees what I’m doing and because I learned from John Reese that if you’ve hit a strong market… keep it to yourself as long as possible.
P.P.S. Thanks.
October 18th, 2005 at 6:00 pm
Hi Jeff
We are 2 South African guys who, a little while ago, quit our day jobs in search for something more stimulating. Something that would enable us to make some good money to comfortably support our families as well as help other human being in various ways.
While we were searching and brainstorming, something (personal) happened and so the idea of(or perhaps inspiration) testimonies.co.za was born.
We’ve identified at first “high profile” South African Christians and obtained a testimony from them how God played a role in their life, as well as any other “ordinary” folk, like me. We record these testimonies to DVD/CD and sell it via our website on a monthly subscription basis, with an affiliate program. Movies and music would be added along the way. Great interest so far has been shown in the product - but we’ve run into a great hurdle - we know nothing about marketing! We got a guy to build the website for us and I’m learning the trade too for future use!
The other day I searched the web for some help on the topic(I’ve learned that too!) and found your productlaunchformula.com website. Well now I’m writing this in the hope that out of the 100’s perhaps 1000’s that going to try and woe your for the freebie, we will be the ultimate conquerors. (Programs like these are best our of reach for us normal guys here in SA due to R/$ exchange rate)
Yours in serious anticipation

I’m 57 years young and it’s time to look to the future (yes, THE future). I’ve been active online and have spent hours “taking everything in.” From Mike Filsaime’s Fire Sales, Russel Brunson’s Lost Files, John Reece’s million, and Jason Cain’s “shake’em up.”
I’m ready now - I’ve got several ideas; the research is not yet complete.
I’m ready - this is one medium where you really can literally learn something new every day (if not sooner). I’ve already learned something useful here: Truth - give and it comes back fourfold and it’s just as easy to promote the big ticket…RJ

Jeff
I’m new to your newsletter but I definitely will jump on the chance to get a new course from someone with experience in helping even those who seemingly(to me)don’t need help, as in Yanik and Reese.
I’ve been learning for a few years on a tight budget and have been selling on the internet for almost 7 years. I am determined although in some eyes I should have given up because the figures aren’t 6 digits!
I of late have bought material that will get me closer to a digital product though I market tangible products right now in the form of Western Collectibles. Need a Vintage Cowboy Saddle, Jeff?
Anyway…Care to help a Western Girl finally make it enough to get her husband home from a job he doesn’t like and blow the socks off the rest of the “man world”?
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to apply anyway!
Kendra
P.S. I have a website but I know it’s not up to par so I don’t want to embarrass myself…If you’re interested, let me know.
October 18th, 2005 at 6:10 pm
Hey Jeff,
First of all, thanks a lot for such a KILLER offer!
I was going to throw down my gauntlet in a challenge to everyone else for the free copy.
I’m pretty sure no one else would even come close to my skills and resourcefulness, as far as, using your course to the maximum potential…
But then…
I read Pete Dickson’s post and I wanted to shout out a “SECOND” for Pete.
To me, their launch sounds pretty much in the bag, but it would great to see you pump it up even further.
I hope you go with the ‘fairies’.
All the best to you Jeff! And here’s to a little levity.
Thanks so much for the opportunity.

Hey Jeff,
I’m plugged in and watching you like a hawk right now…
Nothing like a good old competition to get the masses jumping
Okay! Here’s my post…
I’ve gone from working as a full-time Sound Engineer to Website designing… I have now stopped taking on new clients and am finishing jobs for the last 3… Dead Line 3 weeks.
Next step, A Membership Site (sorry Jeff, I can’t reveal what it is right here, I’d be happy to share it in a personal email)
Anyway, That’s where you come in or should I say your teachings
With the extra knowledge I’m sure I won’t just simply blend into the market, I’ll explode onto the market.
Just like everyone else here… I’d love to get my hands on your course.
PS: I hope I do!

Hi Jeff
I am new to Internet Marketing. The reason that I started exploring Internet Marketing is because I fear I am about to be laid off. In fact, I will find out tomorrow, Wednesday October 19, 2005, what my fate will be. I’ve known since the summer that there is a really good chance that I will lose my job tomorrow (and jobs are hard to come by in this field in my city). I am so sick and tired of having my fate decided by other people that I started looking into starting my own business and Internet Marketing seemed like a good possibility. Since the summer, I have purchased and found information about Internet Marketing. Now I am researching ideas and products to fill a need that is not being fulfilled right now. I have some of the really good products to help with my business: Traffic Secrets, Insider Secrets… but unfortunately with dday looming over my head I cannot justify spending anymore money (although I would buy this product in a heart beat if I knew I still had a job). Whether I get your free course or not, I will have a product ready to go and a website up and selling very soon. I hope, then, I will never have to fear being called into someone’s office or rely on someone else (who doesn’t really care about my fate) for my livelyhood again.
I know that your course would be the final piece of the Internet Marketing puzzle that would propel me towards entrepreneurial success.
Thanks for your time (much success on Friday’s lauch!!!!!!!!!).

I have two products to launch that I will immediately use your Product Launch Formula Course for.
We’re a for profit business serving nonprofit businesses. Our goal is to prove that the “more good you do in the world, the better your business does, which empowers you to do even more good in the world.”
To serve that vision and goal, we’ve developed two products, one of which is just days away from a national launch.
Product Number One
I am in the process of launching a portal called Make The Difference Network. It’s designed to be the “ebay of Giving” - except instead of connecting “buyer” and “seller”, we connect nonprofit organization with people who want to give directly to a “specific project” or “Wish” that is posted by the nonprofit.
We give the nonprofit a dozen Wishe Pages to “tell their story” about specific projects or “Wishes” that they need funded. Donors give directly to the Wish.
Here’s a comment from a person who made a donation:
“I want to make the difference and help free child slavery in the world. This is a noble cause and MTDN, this sponsor and co-founder have my deepest appreciation for this initiative. My employer will also make a matching donation. Thank you all.”
Donor message received with a $100 donation “Free The Slaves”
I will use your course to help us reach our goal of helping tens of thousands of small to medium-sized nonprofit organizations leverage the power of the Web to deal with the significant funding shortfalls that many are experiencing. Because of the “redirection” of giving to the Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita along with cuts in Federal aid and compounded by increases in heating cost and gasoline prices, many nonprofits are stretched very thin.
Product Number Two
In addition to helping nonprofits raise more donations at Make The Difference Network, we’re also passionate about teaching both “nonprofit” and “for-profit” businesses how to create more dollars for both kinds of businesses by practicing “cause-related Marketing.”
In fact we’ve created a more powerful version of cause-related marketing that we call “Cause-INSPIRED Marketing.” It’s cause-marketing with PASSION.
I’m writing a book about Cause-Inspired Marketing and will be creating an Cause-Inspired Marketing portal to with the goal to teach thousands of small to medium-sized businesses how to integrate Cause-Inspired Marketing into their everyday business practices.
I’ll be launching the book and portal after the first of the year.
I’m sure that there will be many excellent entries in competition for your free program.
If we’re chosen to get your Product Launch Formula, it will have a significant impact on thousands of nonprofit organizations as well as tens of thousands of people and animals served by those organizations.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for giving us this opportunity. I’d love to have a free copy of your course because I just can’t afford to pay for it right now.
I’m a professional writer and have had 10 books published, but none of them have produced much income. I’ve come to realize that traditional publishing is a bad deal for writers, as publishers get to keep most of the money. (Well, unless you’re a celebrity and you just get the money and somebody else writes the book for you.)
So, when I finished my last contract obligation, I published my own ebook: _Online Marketing Explained_, which helps new marketers to learn online business.
I’m now working on a series of computer ebooks to help folks learn how to use popular software series, too. It will include sound and motion and I plan to sell them to my neighbors and others like them online. You see, I live in Florida. Most of my neighbors are seniors. Many of them are actually afraid of their hardware and don’t have a clue about how to use much of the software that’s installed on their systems. They’re afraid to explore and think that one mis-stroke and their computer will blow up! I want to teach them how to exploit these programs to their fullest potential in the simplest terms so they can understand and follow along while I show them. My experience in writing procedure manuals for a major company will be of great value here.
And I’m a self-taught computer geek. I can master most software quickly and even take computers apart and put them back together. That’s not a big accomplishment for a lot of people, but I was in college when keypunch was all the rage!
(I’m always helping the folks here with computer problems and I have them buffaloed into thinking I’m a genius, too! Har.)
Anyway, if you could help me to launch products, I’m sure it would accomplish what I’m intending to do online (just like everyone else)–make money. I own seven domains and am working to get them all running. You can see the ones that are already up at these URLs:
http://ovweb.net
http://ovgold.net
http://writeforkids.net
http://bestblackhole.com
http://patmarcello.com
And I’m working on three more that I’d rather keep under my hat. Plus, I’ve designed and maintain my condo’s web site. I was born to Internet!
I hope you’ll be interested in lending a hand by allowing me to have your course. I know it could change my life.
Oh yeah, and I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed that Social Proof call. I’ve passed it along to my online marketing friends and they agreed it was simply awesome!
Thanks for your time,
Pat Marcello

I don’t expect to win or to be able to afford it. I just want to thankyou for what you’ve given us all for free, I will be on your mailing list and on the rest of the guys list or beating on their website and blogs for more info.
I’m sure that my daughters will send you a thankyou card to post online when you retire there dad from his day job.
October 18th, 2005 at 6:19 pm
Hello Jeff, thank you for this opportunity! Here’s my entry:
My brother and I have a dream. Our grandfather was a very well known and highly respected American fine artist of the early- to mid-20th century. Here are two links to VERY brief biographical information: http://www.watercolorpainting.com/famousartist/Wilcox.htm
http://www.clevelandartandhistory.org/HTMLPages/artists/Wilcox.htm
People in Ohio and other parts of the country still talk about our grandfather with awe, and he is represented in many of the nation’s best art museums and galleries. When he died in 1964, we were both very young. Now we are 50+ and we have been rediscovering who he was and what he represented. For several years, through email (my brother lives in Ohio, I live in Washington), we have been developing our ideas, learning more about Internet marketing, setting aside resources, and making crucial personal contacts in the art world. Our grandfather left us with an enormous amount of material–an abundance of fine paintings of course, but also enough written material to create at least four books (he had already published some very popular books before his death). We have also had one of his paintings set up as a fine giclee print, but we don’t yet have the marketing chops to present these prints to a targeted market. We need know-how!
One of our goals and values is that anything we do with our grandfather’s work should be of the utmost quality and professionalism, and that we should maintain control over the output. We don’t want to cut corners and we don’t want to cheapen our grandfather’s name. We recognize, however, that there is a strong need to PROMOTE and really SELL anything that is worth selling. We believe that our two strongest “products” at this point would be a book (maybe even an ebook) and fine prints. The (first) book is a marvelous, unpublished autobiography that our grandfather left, which chronicles not only his own life but is a detailed look at life in America at the turn of the century, from an artist’s point of view. The giclee prints could be a series of collector items, and as I said, we have already set up one of those, complete with Certificate of Authenticity. One of our other brothers contributed the funds to make that happen.
My brother has been the one able to make the personal contacts with influential and knowledgeable people, living close to where our grandfather lived. My contribution has been that I have a background in print and web publishing, so I have been able to create some of our materials so far. While we are limited in the tools we have ourselves to work with (due to limited income), we are at least developing the knowledge to talk productively with any other professionals we choose to work with.
I think our biggest stumbling block is knowing HOW to MARKET any of this; how to get our products in front of the right targeted audience. We know we have something that would strike a responsive chord with a LOT of people, and that we are “sitting on a gold mine” as they say, but we just aren’t sure how to get the ball rolling. Ours was not an entrepreneurial family, but as I said at the beginning, we sure do have a dream! It’s a dream that just keeps calling us to follow through, and the steps we have already taken do not seem to have been in vain. The calling is: “PROMOTE this man’s work — it’s a gift to the world!”
Jeff, I think that YOUR course could help us do that, and I appreciate this opportunity to be chosen as your winner!

Barbara

Hi Jeff
A great offer.
I am not even sure your product can help me.
I have a project to develop a monetization system for content sites.
I have a solid background in managing software development projects, and a lot of sales and marketing experience (12 years as either the owner or a director of software companies).
I am new to the internet marketing industry, only a few months, but I have already been relatively successful.
I am looking to launch a product that doesn’t exist yet.
I am looking to raise seed funding so that my product development and launch potential can be maximised. There is nothing I would hate worse than to make my project only half of what it should be.
I need to raise capital for:-
1. Patent exploration
2. Patent application
3. Development
4. Backend hardware
All the required parts for my project already exist, it is the way they are integrated that is unique and patentable.
I currently class myself as a non-programmer, although I used to program extensively up until 15 years ago.
This is a project I could easily cobble together for my own use.
This would open the doors to copycats but I am sure I could make a reasonable income from it.
However I know if I could execute it perfectly, not only could I retire in a few years, I could probably help 1000s of other internet marketer do the same.
Would your product help me in the process not of launching an existing product, but to launch a major project that currently only exists as rough design documentation.
I am looking to launch an idea in such a way that I can attract suitable seed or angel investment.
It is actually a tough undertaking.
I have lived as an expat in Poland for the last 12 years and have very little earnings history. Whilst my internet marketing business is growing rapidly, a lot of growth is severely hampered by cashflow.
I understand cashflow intimately. Managing adwords campaigns that are exploding is tough when Google charges bi-weekly, but affiliate programs payout at the end of the following month.
I am confident I can self fund this project in 6 to 9 months, but if there is a way to bring such a product to fruition earlier, I would love to give it a shot.
Is Social Proof up to such an extreme challenge?
Best regards
Andy Beard
p.s. This project is actually the “essense” of social proof for internet marketers. You will love it.
October 18th, 2005 at 6:23 pm
Hi Jeff,
Great offer ~ thank you!
First off, much success on YOUR launch.
The reason why I will absolutely 100% put your “Product Launch Formula” to massive use is because I’m in the process of creating a product that I has been many months in the making. It will be my first “major” product launch and I’m in need of proven system to make the launch a huge success.
I’m a little nervous about it because I want it to be perfect. I’ve studied John Reese and many others who have had successful launches and I’m ready to take my marketing to the next level.
I am a fairly new marketer and have every notion to become as good as all the marketing greats, such as the ones on your Social Proof call.
I recently attended my first seminar and met Mike Filsaime and Mark Joyner and I’ve learned a lot from them.
(Hint: Mike Filsaime and I did a tele-conference call for my upcoming product.)
I would love to be able to have a hard copy “blue print” in my hand to reference and study before I launch my product. I feel that I’ve lacked in that department while getting my product ready.
But the biggest and most important reason for you to select me as the winner of your Product Launch Formula is… because I will become one heck of a testimonial to slap on your sales page for the “PROOF” re-release of “Product Launch Formula” which I’m sure you’ll be doing in a few months.
I see it reading like this:
— Start of testimonial —
–> “PROOF”
Here’s a story of a young marketer who was doing quite well on his own, making a few thousand per month.
Soon after he received his copy of the “Product Launch Formula” he launched his very first product and managed to earn $188,048 in the first 10 days of launch.
James revealed to me that the home he recently purchased for his family was the direct result of putting the Product Launch Formula to use. Frankly, I think he was still in shock that my formula produced such staggering results
Furthermore, James stated it was the most amazing feeling in the entire world to be able to pay cash for a house in his neighborhood (the houses were a little out of his reach) and he couldn’t thank me enough for giving him a complimentary copy of the Product Launch Formula — I sensed he wanted to say more but didn’t have the words to express his gratitude. It was quite touching.
The value of the Product Launch Formula is extremely high… sure, but the “action” that James took by putting to use: Truly priceless!
Thank you James for putting my product to good use. As you know from selling products yourself, so many people buy products and then do nothing with them.
Thanks again to you James and to everyone who has taken action and applied the Product Launch Formula!
May all your product launches be fruitful!
— end —
But really Jeff, the most important reason is because my product will help people and the more success I have come launch time, the more people that will directly benefit.
It will be a wonderful win-win situation for you, me, and everyone who benefits from my product.
Good luck on YOUR launch and I can’t wait to get my package
Sincerely,
James Grandstaff

I want this so bad I can taste it. Why? I have put up my site, signed up to be an affiliate for all the products listed in the online shopping area, written an article published on ideamarketers.com, “The Truth About Free Credit Reports”, am writing an ebook tentatively titled “Play the Credit Game to Win or Lose Big”, signed up with Google Adsense and Froogle and developed a direct link deal with credit.com to provide a “3 and 3″. I have met with and have reached an agreement in principle to have the direct link for credit reports and scores placed on hundreds of realtor web pages via a local realtor organization with regional and national organizations targeted next and planned extensively with my web designer to capture the name and emails for an opt in list. With all this effort, last month I got my very first commission check: $26. I’m over drawn at the bank but I still vividly see my vision, my goals, my lifestyle, my payment screens, my dream of publishing a book and most importantly I see the information I can provide helping thousands of people at the minimum save money and possibly get out of financial slavery to credit card debt. In my mind, the missing piece is this information. If you choose me, I will make this promise: I will give back a part of everything I make at no charge. My over reaching goal is to be so successful that I can change lives for the better. You won’t be helping just me, but many times me. Thank you for this opportunity and best wishes,

Hi, Jeff! We are relaunching our former Y2K site at http://www.usprepared.com in several weeks. I’m a well known survival/preparedness expert that wrote A Family Survival Manual for Y2K & Beyond that was featured on Art Bell, CNN, Fox News, etc. I have updated that print book into a FR** Ebook Survival Manual for the Third Millennium that people can sign up right at our other site http://www.avmagination. We are planning to make this the most downloaded Ebook in Internet history because it will do the most important thing in the world - more important than money - SAVE lives!
As I write this another potential MONSTER hurricane is brewing in the Atlantic Ocean that could slam southwest Florida as a Category 4 or 5 by this weekend. If the people in New Orleans had been PREPARED as we discuss in this FR** Ebook there would have been less deaths.
For instance, is the non-electric gravity fed water purifier than are getting harder and harder to find every day. You can use the dirtiest water in the world with this purifier!
So there is what we would do with your product to help others who need this information!
Thanks,

I would like to win this training course because Jeff Walker is one person who’s information I have been able to validate in my learning curve. I am a total newbie who is just starting out on a new career and I need all the help I can get!
Besides, I have 2 entreprenial ‘kids’ who also need Jeff’s information to help them to succeed in their chosen fields of endeavour. Both of whom are aiming to help and entertain others. Lets just say, if I was able to win it would be a family affair!
Go Jeff…..please keep giving us the good oil,

Jeff,
My Book And Video Blog Launch
I will Document How I started with nothing and paid off $42,000 of debt in 48 Days. I will be using video blogging to document the entire process and then give it away free for the viral effect.
I am working with a few iternet marketers to release a printed book here shortly which will be the avenue to paying off the entire pile of debt.
Jeff, I was on your social proof call..it was unreal to say the least.In fact, I forwarded to several people once I got the recording.I know your course will be good because you have already proven you re the real deal.
The reason why I need your course is to make sure I do not leave out a step when I roll out my campaign.I love the “anticipation” technique you talk about.I want to learn more about how to use it.
Look forward to working together.

Hi Jeff,
I got your email about your contest. Even though I’ve seen various comments, I’ll add mine and give it a shot.
I’ve already completed my very first ebook and am about to launch it to help me finally break free from my job and devote more time to my family. But given my 1st special offer in a forum flunked badly, I’m worried it might not be what people “want”.
My ebook is about domain names. Specifically, it’ll reveal what I’ve learned what it takes to make sure domain owners have maximum ownership and control over their domains and how to keep them as safe, active, and as problem-free as possible.
One thing I’ve long pondered about this is whether there is INDEED a market for the kind of info I’ll reveal. I’ve tried doing a survey but came up with inconsistent results. (or maybe I did something wrong…)
In short, I don’t really know if people will REALLY want the info within my ebook. I’m basing the “need” from my 4-years (and still counting) experience of working for one of the largest domain name providers on what people have complained about.
I’ve discovered that most of the problems are easily avoided if people only knew about them in the first place. Just check my blog www.davezan.com to give you some ideas of what exactly my ebook is about.
Anyway, if indeed my ebook is something people will “need”, I need to find a way to convince people why they should get it. I’ve gotten some testimonials and some articles ready, just need to “get my message across” that people will surely believe.
In any case, I’d like to congratulate in advance everyone for posting comments as well because people (especially newbies) will surely learn a thing or 2. But I’ll especially congratulate the one Jeff will eventually choose.
Thanks.
October 18th, 2005 at 6:35 pm
Why I need it:
* I am selling a number of products and services that would surely benefit from better marketing [software and a number of websites].
* I have ideas, plans, and a schedule for the development of numerous additional products and services, the launches of which would surely benefit from your program.
* One of those products that I’ll be launching soon will enable others to start a small business themselves. It will be priced much higher than anything I’ve sold before, and it will be sold to a limited number of people so that the competition won’t keep the investment from being worthwhile–marketing such a thing is new territory for me, and any help I could get could make a huge difference in how successful that effort is.
* While my business is increasingly profitable, it’s not yet quite profitable enough to take care of the growing needs of my growing family–better marketing would surely make a big difference in the life of my family [just added a second child, necessitating moving to a larger apartment, buying a larger vehicle, buying more diapers…]
* My wife quit working recently to stay home with the children, so we need to replace her income [if she hadn’t, and I’d had to take care of two young children at a time, I’d never have gotten ANYTHING done]
* During the time that it has taken for my business to get (almost) up to speed, my family has accumulated a non-crushing, but certainly nontrivial amount of debt. Even a one time-infusion of cash from a successful product launch or relaunch would do wonders for us by reducing or eliminating the drain that debt interest and debt service cash flow requirements impose on us.
* The more profitable each product is, the easier it will be for me to make time to work on the others that I have planned, whether because I’ll be able to hire others to support the existing products, or will at least be able to refuse small side projects that are sometimes necessary to make enough income to cover my family’s needs.
* As one who has benefitted greatly from free software (Linux, Apache, PHP, etc.), I’m a believer in giving away some of what I create. Whenever possible, partly just to give, but also of course because I believe it makes good business sense, I offer free versions of my products so that people who can’t afford the commercial versions can still benefit from their development. Having a more profitable business would enable me to give more, which would help other businesses to grow and offer new products, perpetuation the cycle of growth.
What I will use it for: as mentioned above, I would use it to improve the marketing of my current products and to make the launches and marketing of my future products as successful as possible, to the end that I would be able to better provide for my family and be able to give more to others.

Hi Jeff,
As Yanik’s former coach, he referred to me as “My Own Private Magic Bald Guy!”. I love it!
I’m launching my stream of spiritual coaching products to my ezine list of 33,565 subscribers! In my stream there are subscription-based contemplations, inspiring e-books, direct Laser Coaching Sessions, a home-study course on creating your business as your spiritual path, and much more. I’m looking to have a dynamite year, and launch my 51st year with a bang this Fall!
I could sure use your course to help me make all this work in the best possible way, to provide the maximum value to this community–that you would be contributing to directly, by the way!
I look forward to hearing back from you Thursday night, Jeff!
Yours in Spirit,
Coach Don
October 18th, 2005 at 6:39 pm
Dear Jeff,
Here is why I believe the Product Launch Formula would be the best place for you to invest:
1. I have a definite product
As a newbie to Internet marketing, I have been reviewing your material over the last couple of months. I was at a point where I was ready to go into action and then….
Hurricane Katrina hit!
I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast where my $30,000 of house damage and $9,500 contents damage (including my personal computer) was actually trivial compare to those who lost everything.
My experiences through this recovery period have given me some ideas for products that could prove useful to people who don’t know where to start the process.
2. I have a definite niche
There are landmines in the process of getting aid money and other resources that are proving to be very discouraging to folks right now. Many people are still waiting for their insurance adjuster to come to their home to assess the damage. Many people who lost their homes did not have flood insurance and now do not have the means to rebuild. The aid from federal and emergency sources is not going to be enough. These people need a way to develop an income stream and quickly! I believe I can help them with your information.
3. I have hungry customers (literally and figuratively).
I believe the knowledge in the Product Launch material would be the final key I need to launch this venture and bring in some funds to provide for the Feed the Family Fund (mine) and other hurricane expenses and also fund a project where I want to teach people how to develop a business on the Internet.
Many people are having to sell $150,000 homes (actually lots without homes) for $15,000 in order to have cash just to live. They are also out of work and have no way to make an income because their place of employment was obliterated.
I want to see how quickly I can take several people from $0 to whatever it take for them to live, so they don’t have to relocate to other parts of the country.
This Product Launch material is just the thing that could help some folks make 6 in 7! Help me help these people move from desparation to dignity.
Let’s see… A product, a niche, and a need for the product. Help me help some people by putting this Product Launch Formula material into my hands. You wont’ regret it!
Sincerely,
Bill Manduca

Dear Jeff,
I WANY TO SHARE A SECRET WITH YOU SO THAT YOU CAN UNQUESTIONABLY PROVE TO EVERYONE THAT YOU ARE BEST AT WHAT YOU DO BY MAKING ME THE BEST AT WHAT I WANT TO DO!!
I want to launch products both online and off that can help 50+ years’ olds to learn about good health, find constant learning opportunities, build financial security and most of all secure their dignity. This segment of our population is enormus, and wants to keep youthful as well as fully engaged. They often have the money to do so or want to find a way to get that money.
My products will help the “baby boomers” to evolve in many areas. The products will allow them to recognize and refocus on providing meaningful changes to both their own lives and the lives of others.
After listening to your presentation at the Underground Seminar, reading your e-course, blogs and admiring articles from many of the “greats”, I know that you are a good, smart man with the passion and the talent to help others achieve their goals and dreams.
I also believe that you are one of the smartest marketers around. Your current campaign is in a word brilliant! With your ideas and methods guiding me, I know I can build my business into a hugely successful enterprise that will reward many (including myself!).
THE SECRET:
I am 50+ myself and my dream has always been to build a successful business. I’m a late bloomer with all the drive to be a success entrepreneur. And after all, if I make it happen with you help, it will give many others who aren’t kids the courage to build something for themselves. By helping me succeed, you will absolutely prove that you are the best at what you do.
Thanks for sharing so much of yourself and your knowledge.

hi jeff
i’m a disabled, but definately not a “handicapped” person, but my income is somewhat handicapped. (a temp situation i’m sure) My mind goes a 100 miles and hr 24/7. After exstensively researching, watching, listening, etc, i am positive of a concept i need help with. This is something big. Big enough to know that their isn’t a retailer in the world that couldn’t use it. i’d love to talk to you about this, and i know your course would teach me what to do with it. Winning your course would be an extreme advantage to me. I’m a go-getter, and extremely head strong. Five years ago i was told i’d never walk again. It took some time, but i can walk, i only add this to show you how determined i am. If this comment truely gets into your hands, i’d love to talk to you.

Hello Jeff,
Thanks for the opportunity to participate in this contest.
This is my story…
I have a language services related site in Mexico which contains multiple pages about professional writing skills. I have been capturing names and emails in those pages from some time now (my list has now 4,200+ subscribers) in exchange for a mini course about exactly the same topic. The people that subscribe also get my newsletter every 15 days. In addition to this, I have received good comments about the mini course.
A few months ago, I decided to craft a mentored email course to teach people professional writing skills. So, I gathered all the info needed, made an Ask Campaign to learn what people wanted to get from this course, I developed the course, I wrote a decent sales letter, made an ecover, offered a couple bonuses plus a guarantee and “launched” the course. Result = 1 sale.
- Yes, very, very disappointing after many months of hard work.
As I know for sure people want and need the product I offer, I included answers to all the feedback I got from the Ask Campaign, I wrote a decent sales letter and in summary I did my best to make out of this a success; I am convinced the problem was how I launched the product.
I am getting ready to re-launch it and I am decided to make it work. I have taken some steps towards improving the course and the sales process. For the launch, I am planning to follow the steps outlined in CIIM II by Mark Joyner and hopefully I will get better results than the first time.
When I read your email inviting us to participate in the contest, I couldn’t resist giving it a try. I am sure your course must work as you are using it to launch this same product which I already want! Unfortunately, the exchange rate from pesos to dollars is very poor and I cannot afford your course at the moment, even thought I am aware it’s worth it. I hope I win.
Besides, if it works for my product you’ll have a proof and a testimonial that your method also works internationally for non English speaking countries. This could be valuable for future marketing campaigns.
I wish you the best!
Best Regards,
Daniel Levy

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for this opportunity! Here’s why I need your course: I don’t know nearly as much as you do about launching products… and what you know could make the difference between me making a few bucks (or no bucks) and making a few thousand, hundred thousand or more!
You see, I’ve just launched a product and haven’t sold a thing. Why? What’s missing? What didn’t I do? What could I have done better? What can I do now? (And from the growth of my mailing list, I know my market is desperate for my product).
I have more products in the wings and when I launch them I don’t want to make the same mistakes. I want to kick ass! I want a million dollar day! So what am I going to do with your course? I’m going to study every single, nitty gritty technique and apply it in my business. And you’re going to get a phenomenal testimonial (that’s got nothing to do with the markets most IMers seem to be targeting.
You see, I’m relatively new to the Internet marketing model, but whenever I’ve ever wanted to achieve something in my life (whether it’s break into advertising, become a lawyer, start a business, become a competitive runner - all things I’ve achieved) I’ve done it. How? Through sucking up all the knowledge I need and applying it.
I have a huge, audacious vision for my business, and I’m going to achieve it. Your product sounds like just what I need right now to ensure I head in the right direction.
October 18th, 2005 at 6:42 pm
Hi Jeff,
thanks for the opportunity for this generous offer.
I’m launching a new product that is targeted to Diabetics. It’s an exercise program, and I’ve just received endorsement from Diabetes Australia.
While this is a commercial venture, the aspects of providing a solution to peoples health problems appeals to me. (I’m a diabetic as is most of my family).
I’ve been skirting on the edges of Internet marketing for a couple of years, and due to recent downturns in my offline business industry, have now shifted into high gear to get all aspects of my online strategies profitable.
To be honest, I’m a littel overwhelmed by the amounts of information and opportunites that exist. Your formula would help enormously with getting to grips on everything.
Thanks for listening.
Sincerely,

BTW, I love this free copy idea - the way you are ensuring we all convince ourselves that we need your product!

Dear Jeff,
I’m 80 years old, former test pilot on the Apollo Project, widowed with NO heirs. but I know a certain youngster whose family condition is such that he will never get to college without some outside intervention.
I am working feverishly to build a web site which will be my own spaceship. I want it to have a bill of lading such that a “newbie” or “guru” can come aboard and just about find anything he is looking foron the internet. A virtual “browser” as it were. I know it’s a daring enterprise, so I have called my spaceship DEWAJ. A “Daring Enterprise With A Journey.” It is currently in “orbit”, but it must be expanded and added to, for it to be a self sustaining money making entity while it stays in orbit. The knowledge necessary to make the dream possible is not available to me and I need help in making sure this adventure is a success. I know your “Products Launch Formula” is the very thing I need. Once the spaceship is a successful venture incomewise, it will assure that the young man in question will not only get through college, but he will be the “future” commander of Spaceship DEWAJ. Help me make this my legacy to a deserving young man. With your “Product Launch Program” I know I can do it. Thanks for the opportunity.

Dear Jeff,
I shouldn’t perhaps be telling you this - - - but I would enjoy seeing you MAXIMIZE your profit potential and here’s perhaps a promotional idea (and income generator) that will work for your launch.
Why not give a “free” copy of the course to people who are willing to split a portion of their profits with you?
What is a “free copy, perhaps available via download” worth to you in terms of the additional added income?
I know for my own business, your knowledge is probably worth tens of thousands of dollars in un- accounted for profits and increased conversion sales rates.
Based upon the response of people who would like your course for “FREE”, chances are you’re going to sell out the $997.00 priced product.
But aren’t you leaving LOTS OF MONEY on the table, not only now, but in the not too distant future?
I don’t want to tell you how to run your business . . . and if I were you, I would think of ways that I could trade my knowledge for profits.
With the right targeted people, those profits are sure to be more money than you could ever earn from just selling the course, regardless of the price.
Good luck Jeff.
Glad to be of assistance if I could help you and those who want the course maximize your profit potential.

Jeff,
We’ve been watching this course launch develop with great interest.
I own Rehab-Real-Estate.com and we have been developing a home study course that will, no-kidding, help and ENABLE folks to find, buy and rehab property for very nice profits!
We have spend a great deal of our own money developing this course. We hired one of the best videographer/producers on the east coast, a top-gun professional writer, the works. This is TOP-FLIGHT all the way and the material is presented in such a way that this will get folks out there making great money where other products have failed. Everyone involved in the project are active rehab investors, and we use our own properties as examples of what can be accomplished. The course consists of DVD, audio CDs, and written text with the emphasis on action steps.
We’ve got around $50,000 in this project, so you can bet a stellar launch is JUST what we want.
If you want to award this course for a top-shelf product that will soon be the absolute buzz of a very large market, the real estate investing world, then you’ll select us for the contest winner. We will be sure to give credit where credit is due (testimonials!)
Thanks in advance!

Jeff, do you know any elite sports people who desperately want to get back onto the field as soon as possible following an injury? How much does it mean to them to be part of the final game or competition? How much does it disappoint them to miss out on the grand final? How much would they be willing to pay to get back onto the field in half the time, totally injury free and without pain?
Jeff, do you know anyone with a back injury who wants it to stop troubling them and paining them? Even causing them to miss out on their beloved weekly golf game.
Do you know anyone who is elderly and now suffers badly from a football injury to their knee? Or maybe it is those arthritic hands that suffer with terrible pain and where movement is nearly zero? How old does it make them feel? Or perhaps it is a terrible stiff back that prevents them from barely walking and enjoying the flowers.
Jeff, do you know anyone in their 50’s to 60’s that just wants ongoing good health and well-being but finds that the onging need to exercise and keep fit leads to back injury, muscle stiffness and the realisation that keeping fit is a real challenge? They want to live long, but the exercise program is creating its own damage issues. Or maybe it is the sport they enjoy (perhaps golf or tennis or plain old walking) is now getting to be a painful experience? Oh to be young again!!
Jeff, what would it mean to these people to spend a few weeks, half to one hour per day, while sitting watching their favourite TV program, and to have their body stimulated into rapid repair?
Well……….that is what the little device will do that I have the world internet and mail order rights to.
It came from research out of NASA where bone and muscle atrophy in the 70’s led to Professor Bassett the world’s leading orthopeadic surgeon to be summoned to find out how to build bone back to normal quickly rather than have high powered spacemen return as weaklings for many many months. He broke the code and found how to get bones and cartilage to grow. Once he did that he closed the project and funding during the 80’s for NASA research was cut back.
However, a group of scientists around the world continued the research. They wanted to know ‘Why does bone and cartilage start to grow? What tells it to repair? How does it know to stop? It is not connected to the nervous system or the circulatory system, so where do its messages come from?’
They found that the brain in fact sends a very small electrical message to cells. The cells sit and wait for it. If they don’t get the message they sit dormantly not fixing and repairing the area.
These scientists cracked the code and this little device is programed to tell the cells ‘Hey wake up guys, this is an emergency, you have just gotta grab all those nutrients that are flying past you while you’ve been sleeping and get to work. Multiply, divide, get building and repairing. Finish the job that we didn’t get to finish 20 years ago. Do it NOW.’
There is a special code that the brain sends for the ankle, a different one for knee, different again for the hip, the lower back, middle back, shoulder (golfers love that one), elbow (anyone for tennis?) and wrist.
In fact there are about 110 different codes and the type of machine that has been built til now needs to be operated by a technician who will dial up the correct code and it costs many thousands and the most likely place you would find it is in a hosptial.
But now this manufacturer has put out a device that is no bigger than and similar shape to a comuter mouse. With the aid of a velcro strap you place it on the area and push one button to turn it on and off. 30 minutes later it has done what the brain would have done as described above and automatically switches off.
There are currently 12 sim-card type devices to insert into the device that treat all the main areas and more that are described above.
The manufacturers have called it e-cell. It is a tiny pulse that is emitted - a 100 times less than a cell phone and on that pulse is carried this special code.
It is to be manufactured in one month’s time and is about a week away from receiving CE (Certification Europe) approval. This is an International Standard that is recognized by the FDA and all world approval bodies. If a product has CE approval - look at the back of your computer, frig, or DVD player and you will see it there - then it can be imported into the US to individuals. The technology has been approved by the FDA for about 10 years.
Now we don’t have our website ready to show you about this, as we are working on the script and affiliate emails etc. However, we have a private blog that we can send you an invitation to be part of. This blog will go live once we have our launch.
A reason why we would like to be part of this competition is that it is the Launch part of the whole thing that is freeking me out. I know there are millions waiting to be made in this event and in this product, and I don’t want to blow it first time.
Oh by the way. What about price? Well there is a similar device that is ONLY for the KNEE that has just been launched and it is selling for $3700US.
Our e-cell will do 12 areas and it will sell at a retail price of $500US we plan to launch it for less than $300US plus $40US per sim-card (the company call them smart cards)plus shipping and handling.
When you think of how much people have to pay for weeks of treatment with occupational therapists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, medicos, hospitalisation and even operation the amount as small as goose bumps!!
Please give serious thought to consider us.
We will be buying the package anyway, but to have your endorsement would be a mega mega bonus - forget the other fabulous bonuses you will be offering!!
Many thanks
David
PS Although this has been tested on over 3500 people and is endorsed around the world by an enormous amount of scientific evidence, (which we can provide you) Harvard University has negotiated with the manufacturer to do all the ongoing research and clinical trials.
October 18th, 2005 at 7:08 pm
Jeff,
First of all thanks for all the free content, and allowing us to study the process you use. I can tell you that I need your launch formula because I’m creating my product and getting it ready to roll out right now. I have a home based business that I make 6 figures with that I’m packaging into a business opportunity. I am going to sell this as a high ticket item, probably between $5,000 and $10,000. You are the “master” of the big ticket roll-out and I want to be your next success story. I know my product and marketing campaign is going to be successful, but with your launch formula I will be able to guarantee it.
I am looking forward to being your new big success story. If you have any questions please contact me.
Thanks for your consideration!

A few weeks ago I have sent an email to another online marketer explaining why I needed his help. I thought he was genuinely offering his services (for free) in order to help. It sounded like he was….
Eh… It’s all I got right now and I’m a generous person so… do whatever with them. 
He knows a lot. He is in a place where I want to be. My plan though, is that once I get there I will want/have to help. Help others that genuinely want to make a change and use their freedom to gain more freedom.
Anyway…. I was an idiot to believe that there is something as a free lunch. Even for those who deserve it.
But anyway… Here I am again…. Don’t get me wrong, this case is different…. but still, here I am again spilling my heart and soul out.
Bla bla… Let me tell you why I want this:
• I need to make a change in my life because if not I will not be able to keep on going like this: I need to help my family back in Romania: I live in Ireland now. I go to college (again, my 2nd one), I work and all the money I have goes home to my parents. Its hard but I am not giving up and I do have great plans. I know it sounds pretty “cry me a river” like but it is the truth. Its very difficult to be an immigrant, to be an outsider, to be away from everything that you know: difficult because you cant get proper jobs (I used to work in the media, at 21 I was the senior editor of an advertising magazine), difficult because you stop being yourself (in the eyes of the others) and you become the live picture of a mixture of preconceived ideas and ignorant views.
• I want to make a change: I want to be able to go back home. I want to educate the Romanian marketers, managers and pretty much anyone to wants to be educated and informed about the possibilities existent out there. www.brasov.ro This is the official website of my home town, a place visited by a lot of tourists every year (Dracula’s castle is nearby and so is an amazing sky resort). I want to get involved into the online management/marketing of Romanian Tourism. I want to create the Romanian version of www.pigsback.ie
• I want to help inform and educate young people (I’m 26). I want to go home and start doing some conferences (that’s probably a too big of a word), informal gatherings where people can “blog”… offline: I want to tell them about the possibilities that the Internet has to offer.
• My real father (I have a step dad now as well) is the General Secretary of the Fitness Federation in Romania. He comes from a family of sportsmen. He is currently writing a book on fitness that has a pretty interesting approach (he talks a lot about psychology and how the cognitive relates to everything else: in this case the issues of physical exercise). I want to publish his book on the Internet. It’s not easy to find an offline publisher who would do that for him (for the offline world).
• I am working at several projects (one of them is a website targeted to people that have immigrated that offers free information on internet business models, a forum where they can talk freely about starting life from zero and other stuff…). I am going to link this 1st website (that I like to call my “satellite” website) to another one that offers information for a fee… The idea is to help others but also… to get traffic…
• I want to do a lot of things and say a lot of things but I feel that I have taken off a lot of space already…
• I want to help. I really do. But I also need some help. I’ve been self-educating on the topics of e-bizes since April this year.
• I have so many ideas but… in order to even begin to start properly I need to take care of a detail called: money.
Anyway… I will get there. I have the will. The brain. The confidence and all the Kleenex I need! 
Anyway… Thanks for all that your doing, Jeff!
Best of luck (to you and me
),
Regards,
Andreea

A BIG thank you to you for this generous offer Jeff!!
I’ll try and make this brief as undoubtedly you will have quite a few comment posts to read!
I was actually fortunate enough to purchase Frank & Ed’s Undies course back at the start of this year. That was around the time I had just started trying to carve myself out a career online. However, unfortunately despite all Frank & Ed’s fantastic advice in the course I have been unsuccessful in creating a livable wage from my product creations so far. I’m also not exactly flush these days and the whopping price tag of their course has left me a bit tight fisted(!).. hence why I’m posting here
Don’t get me wrong though, the underachiever course is simply superb and I am glad I made the investment. Much of the info in it has translated over to other online projects of mine as well. I feel your product launch formula would be the perfect companion for the Undies course.
I’ve actually been working full time for a year now trying to get my online business up and running (was made redundant end of ‘04 and have been living on savings). Things are going relatively ok but I really need a serious boost to my business in order to prevent the slowly encroaching J.O.B. world!!
Since I started out I have been going hell-for-leather in just about every conceivable online direction available: SEO content sites (not DG), product creation, ecommerce sites (my first project, quite proud of it but wish it made more money - maybe this Xmas!! PandoraStocks.com), PPC affiliate advertising, re-sale rights products and so on. I have even gone as far as to venture in to the controversial world of MLM… which (against what most would think) is in fact profiting, not by much but it is in profit and grows slowly (albeit very slowly!). One area I greatly want to get in to is membership and service based websites with real quality & value (and not in the internet marketing field). I do realise that having my fingers in too many pies may not be the best way to go about things (I am very stretched) but I am so determined to make this work that I will try everything and anything to get there.
Your new product sounds like the perfect solution for pretty much every aspect of my current and future online ventures. My business needs a serious jolt at the moment and if I had the capital available Product Launch Formula would undeniably be at the top of my list.
Well, that’s me and my story in a nut shell, I hope it gives you a good indication as to my devotion for internet marketing and you can be sure your course would not be left to gather dust in the corner of a dark room!!
Well, I hope whoever gets the free course puts it to good use… if not you know where I am!! lol
Thanks for reading my post Jeff and also for the chance for less ‘flush’ individuals like myself to get your new course!
Cheers Jeff.

Hey Jeff,
I started my fitness site back in 1995 to keep my family updated on my training and later, on my marathon training. It started growing and I had over 3,000 subscribers to my newsletter and eventually switched services because they put smoking ads in my newsletter. (Goes great with fitness - right?) So had to start again and, since my new free service is double opt-in, I couldn’t bring over my list so had to email them and ask them to switch. Some did but. . .
Now I have close to 1000 and about 250 unique visitors a day. I have written 3 ebooks on fitness, including one with my wife in mind on exercising in a wheelchair or any chair. It’s actually my best seller but . . . I sell probably 5 - 6 a month so not much of a best seller.
On all 3 of my books, sales are there but not where they need to be so I can devote fulltime to this. To me, exercise is a popular field and an important one, so obviously I’m missing something here and my hope is your course is the missing ingredient.
Definitely not looking for an easy fix but something I can do on my end to finally start making some money on this site after giving away lots of free info for so long. I have more books on exercise I would like to do but now the focus is figuring out how to sell what I already have.
Actually I just wrote a ebook on swiss ball exercising and thought it would be a winner. Blogging and everything but not much luck.
With the number of visitors I get a day, you’d sure think something would start happening.
I want to put your course to the test.
Thanks Jeff!
October 18th, 2005 at 7:24 pm
Jeff,
Why do people have to change their mindset to understand that they NEED this course instead of just want this course? Because, to be successfull you should do what successfull people do and that includes product launches. I have been a subscriber and customer of Frank and Yanik for close to two years and have seen the huge amount of success they have over and over with their products. During that time I have seen your name thrown around as the man in the background and all I can say is, look at the results. Your system and teachings are the cream of the crop that most of the successfull internet marketers use. This is how I will use your course first, obviously to be followed on by many future wallet stuffing product launches. I am working on a video product for a niche market where there are currently no other video products available. How do I know this is the right product for a hungry market you ask? I have done quite a bit of research through fly catchers as well as personnel interviews of countless customers in this niche that are drooling over my idea. I started a blog that I have been posting to and pinging daily which has began to develop some readers and watchers. I am currently in the process of completing some free reports to be used for customer list development. I also have a few backend product ideas including a potential membership site but I know the eventual success of those will hinder on my initial product. I have an idea about some launch tactics and techniques but NEED your course to do it right and make it all it can be. I would love nothing more than to use your course and provide you unlimited references and feedback about my successes. I have some personal family driven reasons to be successfull in this business and want to use the best tools and info. available. Thanks,
October 18th, 2005 at 7:25 pm
Jeff, I’ll keep it short and sweet. I know your time is precious.
I’ll be an amazing testimonial for you that you can use on your future salespage.
If you give me your product, I’ll actually do something with it. I already know the product I’m going to launch — it’s an amazing weight loss coaching program — and if you take a look at my website you’ll get an idea of what I can actually do.
Give me your product and I’ll be an amazing testimonial for you. I promise I’ll generate over $50K in a flash.

October 18th, 2005 at 7:29 pm
Mr. Walker,
What a great opportunity you are offering. Imagine, I have the chance to be one of the FIRST entrepreneurs to avail of your brand new product. Ever since I retired from the military in 1989, I have dreamt of being an infoprenuer. Until eleven days ago, it was just a dream.
After two previously abysmal attempts at selling “physical products” online – for which I was completely out of my realm with regards to marketing and promotion, I decided, “third time was charm”.
I reached for my dream, and am I believe on my way to fulfilling it. A product such as Product Launch would allow me to reach my goal even faster. I am still a novice obviously, however, I do have a 35 article BLOG (some of which I have authored), I am already listed on all the major search engines (not high – but listed), have advertised my site to friends, family, acquaintances and belong to over 1000 free sites (and yes, I review about 900 emails a day).
I dedicate between two and three hours every day, seven days a week to making this business work for my family and myself. This may sound drastic as far as the hours I put in, however, I have my families full support (and I only put in time late in the evening after my wife and son go to bed, and work until the early morning before I have to go to my J.O.B.)
Do I have the drive to succeed? I absolutely do! Do I believe I am going to succeed? Most definitely. Will this product help make my success easier? Without a doubt. Therefore, should I be the lucky winner, I would use “Product Launch” to launch and promote a new and completely updated “project” I am working on that I hope to sell as an eBook. I will launch this product in anticipation of reaching out and helping other individuals that are just like I was only eleven days ago.
The launch would be to those interested individuals with a lot of desire, ambition, the willingness to do whatever it takes to succeed and who haven’t a clue how as of yet how to get there.
Should I not win, I thank you for the “chance of a life time”.
I would like to wish the best of everything to you and your company on your launch date.

Hi Jeff,
Because I’m the 69th response…? LOL
Okay, I have procrastinated with building my online empire for far too long! What I need is a system for building, maintaining and growing my worldwide empire.
I’m currently blogging(who knew Adsense was so easy) with a recipe site(more than one soon), celebrity site, etc.
When I learn how to implement a product launch I will be so into creating(finishing) my own digital products and launching them asap.
The big reason for my needing(& wanting) The Product Launch Formula is that I abhor what I’m doing right now & can’t stand thinking about doing it any longer.
It’s time to be ultra serious about my passion for Internet Marketing & making websites.
God Bless,

i have spent 3 years trying, piece at a time to build a business to help people make the world better, a little, thru arts, and helping children–children at risk from poverty and despair. the only way i think works is for people to find the empowerment within. there is so much to do, and only so many resources. i need the help this launch secrets process can give to create a situation where young artists, younf entrepreneurs, code-saavy people, and people who care can work together to create enough upportunity to keep me going. yes, there are only so many hours in a day, but more importantly, only so much energy in a heart. when that energy accomplishes something, it creates more, and the world gets better. when the energy yeilds no results, or too much less than needed, things just go sour. and there are too many people dependent on me now for me to let this happen. this world can be better–if the people who beleive it can can learn to work together. i will be deeply appreicatiave and loyal for whatever help i can get so that i can help others.
October 18th, 2005 at 7:33 pm
Hi Jeff,
We all have great reasons why we need this course, so we also know it’ll be a tough pick on your part. Good luck to you and to us all!
Having said that, my reasons WHY I need this course are that I need to create a HUGE LAUNCH - both online and offline - as a new, about-to-be published author writing a Real Life Story into an extremely needy Niche Market - that of “Parents who are Grieving for their kids who have died!”
I’m one of those types of parents myself, having lost a helicopter-pilot daughter three years ago - so I’m living the topic as we speak! There is nothing I’ve ever experienced in life that’s been harder to endure!
In the process of writing my own story I’ve discovered that I’m not the only needy one out there in this World of hurt. I’ve come to understand that my story is also meant to aid others who are living the pain of their own loss experiences. The book is entitled “The Song That Chopper Blades Sing - A Father’s Story of Love, Loss, and Healing”. I figure the title says it all.
So WHAT I’ll be using it for is the launch of my book - to the World - wherever needed - which is my Goal and Vision for it!
Although I still consider myself a relative internet newbie in many ways, I figure that given the right knowledge and tools, even the impossible can be accomplished! Even at 58 years of age, I figure this ole dad can still learn, accomplish, and triumph for the right reasons! I’ve got the right reasons!
Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of this contest!
Warm Regards and Best Wishes on your own Launch of this product.

Hi Jeff,
I’ll have to tell you up front, I have a hidden agenda and motives behind wanting the free package.
It’s not fame or fortune that I’m after, but success. Success to many other is just the simple ability to generate large amounts of money on the slighest whim, but to me, it’s something much, much bigger.
Success to me is comprised of being able to enjoy time that I normally wouldn’t have doing something I enjoy, helping others in need that are trying their best, but struggling to make things work for them.
I sincerely believe that the biggest part of success is in helping others to realize their dreams of independance from a job that they hate, and a company that only treats them like another number.
Jeff, I want to use the free package to make a difference in others lives. Sooner or later I can figure it out for myself, but there are many around me that could use a boost to move them forward.
Thank you for just taking the time to read this Jeff, may success follow you throughout your life and your dreams surround you in a reality of peace.
To Your Best in Success,
Earl Adkins

Two years ago, with little a total of 20 hours tutition, and a copy of Dreamweaver, I created a site for my local writers group to run an online contest. It was the first club organized writing contest in Ireland.
After the contest the site lay dormant up until about six months ago when I started to operate it for my own profit (the site belongs to me.I am just now beginning to grasp this whole internet marketing thing, I’m just now starting to realise what I have to do.
Now living in small town Ireland the economic outlook is not great for a person in the mid 50’s but I know if I work at it, with or without Product Launch, that I will suceed, that it will be my pension!
By all accounts the Product Launch Formula is a super product and one which will help me achieve my goal - a confortable retirement if ten years from now. At the moment I can’t afford Product Launch Formula that’s why I’m looking this free copy. If I don’t win it tough luck I’ll put it on my ‘must get list’ for when I’m a little bit more solvent and work on without it.
For me it will be a big big bonus if I win. If not then I’ll just have to try harder.
October 18th, 2005 at 7:42 pm
For free?! Geez, what an offer. You sure know how to create hype; I guess that’s why your suitable for this type of business. Anyways, I’m a web developer and I currently work for a company. I also do some stuff on the side. The thing is, I work to much! I do everything; the graphics, programming, database stuff, search engine optimization, you name it. I’m fairly new to this, but I’ve been doing tons of research over the past year and a half.
I picked up John Reece’s Traffic Secrets and fell in love. Since then, I’ve been obsessed with the online game. But I feel like I need a bit more guidance; I’m the only one I know who is into this stuff! The key is to work smarter, not harder. I know that working with your kit will get me on the right track and finally put all of my connections/clients products and services on the map.
October 18th, 2005 at 7:43 pm
Here’s why I need the course Jeff..
I know you’ve spent many many years & thousand of dollars finding the successful formula to launch products. And I get that All for a measly thousand bucks! And once I get it - I’ll use it again & again with differnt angles & earn a ton of money.
Secondly, if I give $1000 for this course & learn how to make $50,000 more or $200,000 more, then I’d be insane not to make this investment! It’s just so profitable.
Also I’ve made it a point to learn only from the best experts in the world. I know for a fact that for product launches you’re THE MASTER. I choose to learn how to make 6-figure launches from a person who already has done it & helped others do it too.
And the fact that you’re saying give me 1000 bucks & I’ll tell you ALL MY MILLION-DOLLAR SECRETS makes me sooooooooooooooo excited I can’t even tell in words!!
So that’s Why I want the course..
Now what I’m going to do with this is..
Am going to launch a virtual campaign for my website ‘www.secretsofthemilliondollarman.com’ & use the launch secrets to make ATLEAST $50,000 in the next 45 days.
And of course all of the products or services or seminars that I will release/launch for the rest of my life I’ll use these secrets to get 3 to 5 times better results.
I really don’t understand why you selling for only a 1000 dollars. You can sell it for $5000 & the SERIOUS players will Still get it. And those are the ones that are going to have big success stories.
I confess I’ve learned a LOT just by watching your campaign Jeff. And I look forward to learn a Ton more in the course.
God Bless!
October 18th, 2005 at 7:46 pm
Hey Jeff,
The course would be used to start a new life. The odds are pretty good I will no longer have a job by next Oct and as starting over again at 52 is not an easy project, I feel it would give me an opportunities to not end up with the parkbench as my new home. Usually my ideas are too ahead of their time, but with the rate at which the net is developing I feel that we just might make a mesh there somewhere along those new coming lines. I see things through an entirely different perceptive so I might even be able to teach an old marking dog a few new tricks he hasn’t thought of yet.

Hi Jeff,
The timing couldn’t be more perfect for the Product Launch Formula. Last year, I announced to a group of pretty high-flying entrepreneurs and investors that I wanted to get my hands on a really amazing idea from which I could create and launch a product. I was incredibly disappointed when all this brilliant group of people could come up with was, “hey, maybe you can do something with real estate.” Yeah. Me, and five thousand other people who are paying big bucks to do infomercials. Besides, I have about as much interest in real estate as I do in attending next year’s International Yo-Yo competition.
I toyed with several ideas, but nothing reached out and grabbed me by the collar and screamed, “Now, you fool!”
Then, I got my hair cut.
I can guess what you’re thinking. “This guy got his hair cut a LITTLE too close to the scalp.” Nope, nothing of the sort.
My ‘haircutter’ was staring at the rapidly thinning hair on the top of my head. It’s like she was searching for a lost comb, except that it would have to be an awfully small comb to get lost up there. I mean, she was looking REAL close at my scalp. Kind of freaked me out at first.
Then she asked me one of those “duh” questions, like “do you eat food?”
She stopped flitting through what used to be my gorgeous mane long enough to ask, “Would you like to learn how to grow your hair back?”
“Gosh, no,” I replied. “I really enjoy losing all my hair.”
Not!
I was suspicious, but curious. “OK,” I said, “But, I absolutely, positively refuse to take any kind of miracle wonder drug that will make me become impotent.”
She smiled. “No, it’s not that at all.”
I was then politely informed that a recent survey indicated that most men would rather be impotent than bald. I’ve never been one to follow the crowd (thank God), but I do realize that many men (and women, as I’ve since discovered) hate going bald.
I wasn’t quite sure where she was going, so I pressed on.
“My dad,” she continued, “was my first experiment.” I could swear I heard a very quiet cackle, but I ignored it. “He was completely bald on top. He had one of those ghastly comb-overs that everyone hates, especially me.”
She explained that after putting him on her special program, within weeks he had a beautiful batch of peach fuzz growing in all the previously bald spots. Within a couple of months, he had little tiny hairs sticking straight up, standing at attention, as if to say, “Hey, big beautiful world! We’re BACK!”
Now, she tells me, her dad has a full head of closely-cropped, bleached blond hair! I wondered if he also got tattoos and an earring, but didn’t want to go there.
I suppose by now you’re wondering where all of this rambling on is leading to.
It leads directly to your product and the perfection of the timing.
My “hairdresser” (I can call her that now that I have more hair to dress) and I have been working on a complete Internet-based system to help people (men and women) re-grow or thicken their hair. We’ve already got a copyright from the government for the process, and have a number of other important pieces lined up. We’re almost done with the “system” itself, and should be ready within the next month.
What we DON’T have is a comprehensive marketing and product launch program…. Yet.
Halleluiah! Here comes Jeff! (Horns blaring, trumpets trumpeting, drummers drumming – scared that little partridge right off the pear tree, he did)
This is why I must have your system.
The many thousands of balding men and women who are suffering from the devastation of thinning hair NEED YOUR HELP!
They are calling out in unison – “PLEASE, JEFF. GIVE SID YOUR SYSTEM.”
Hundreds of thousands of people with thinning hairlines are anxiously awaiting your wise judgment. Please don’t disappoint them!
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE
I’m also in the early stages of a project that is projected to go from zero to over $50 million in five years. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you anything about it, other than it is an “Information and Subscription” based system.
If I said anything about this project on your blog, I’d have to do something drastic, like shave everyone’s head. Well, I CAN tell you that THIS project has absolutely nothing to do with hair, except that it’s going to help a lot of people stop pulling theirs out.
We’ll be launching this very secret system around the middle of next year, which fits perfectly with using your formula. Jeff, if you call me PERSONALLY, I’ll let you in on the secret.
But, only you. Mums the word for everyone else until next year. Sorry.
Thanks for the opportunity, and the fantastic marketing/sales demonstration,
Sid

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the opportunity. My son is a programmer and has created an amazing software product that could be used by just about everyone selling on the web. It lets you know exactly what parts of your page works and what parts turn potential customers off (shown in graphic form). You can put up a site, drive some traffic and check the results, all in a few hours. Then you just adjust your page as needed and try again.
We are only new to web marketting and are at a loss as to how to produce a half decent product launch.

“There’s no great mystery to investing successfully,” Gaffer said between mouthfuls. “You just need a little money, a willingness to learn, patience…and lots of discipline. It’s this last one that gets most people. It probably causes more losses than any other thing.”
Carol-Anne forked another slice of roast beef onto her plate waiting, as was everyone else around the heavy pine table, to hear what would come next. They were a mixed gathering, here to enjoy good food, companionship – and because Gaffer had said he would show each of them how ordinary people could become millionaires.
Carol-Anne was skeptical, but it was difficult to argue with success. Her father was…
These are the opening lines of “Lunch with Gaffer”, Investment 101 in a fiction format. An e-book, it is progressing at a rate of three chapters each week and will be finished in November.
I plan the biggest launch I can muster, involving dozens of Internet partners, many with bonus products. A back-end CD product is already in the planning stage. Seminars will follow that.
This is a large market and a hungry market. The book is for novice investors or would-be investors. Its subtitle is: “How to Make Money Safely and Certainly with Stocks and Bonds”. There is just one book in the same genre, badly written, that has sold more than 2 million copies.
It is a market I know. I had a bestselling investment how-to with PrenticeHall a few years ago, and was once a top stockbroker. I also know that the book is only part of the story. The real work is in the marketing.
I am 71 and on a three-year comeback trail. A marriage breakup two years ago has now led to bankruptcy (so I cannot afford Product Launch Formula, even on a payment plan, despite its clear benefit to me), but the future looks good regardless of whether I win your contest. I started a website (www.yourpanama.com) one year ago and it now outranks 99.7% of all websites, according to Alexa.
What does that have to do with anything? I am a winner and, despite the current setback, “Lunch with Gaffer” will, I am certain, be a phenomenal success. There is no other option for me. But its success would probably be greater, and certainly easier, with Product Launch Formula.
I have set a huge goal. (What’s the point of small ones?) The goal is to sell 100,000 copies in a single month. I may not get there, but it certainly won’t be for lack of trying. Watch for a launch date in June, preceded by seven months of pre-launch planning and marketing. Wanna be part of it?
Good luck with your own launch.

Hi Jeff
I’m amazed at the number of people who have already entered your contest and that may be the tip of the iceberg. It just goes to show how much people value your product. You’re going to have some reading to do!
I will shortly be launching a free internet marketing course at www.WebBizAcademy.com. The course will help others who are struggling by providing them with a complete A-Z in Internet Marketing in 100 or more lessons and providing them with the practical help to get started. However while I am very good at achieving what I set out to do and I am quite well versed in marketing itself, I am a complete newbie when it comes launching a product in a major way.
I would love to launch my new course with a buzz similar to the fanfare surrounding the John Reese “Traffic Secrets” launch. Your input made that one hell of a product launch. It was impossible for people not to purchase the product. I know… because I forked out $997 for it. I just had to have it.
From what I have seen, joint ventures feature very strongly in all ultra successful product launches. However I am currently unable to work out the best way to tie in joint ventures and a sense of urgency or event with a free product, even if it is a very special free product. When I read about your “Product Launch Formula” I figured that my prayers had been answered.
I could have thrown you a challenge and have said that I didn’t believe that your course would solve my problem. However I know from your reputation that your “Product Launch Formula” would include the answers and furthermore I trust you when you say you have included everything in the course.
Like the John Reese course, I just had to have it. However I was disappointed when I reached the bottom of the sales letter to discover the discounted price of $997. Its not that I objected to paying $997. In normal circumstances I would have been happy to pay three or four times that price for this treasure trove of uniquely essential information. However with putting together my current offer, I am now maxed out on my credit cards, and even if you offered me all the States of the Union for $997, I still couldn’t take you up on your offer.
You can therefore imagine my delight then when I saw your contest for a free copy of the Product Launch Formula. Maybe my prayers have been answered after all. If so, with your help I want to take my course subscriber list from its current level of one subscriber (in addition to me) to 50,000 to 100,000 in the next 6 months and to turn a profit of $200,000 or more in the process.
If you want to put your course into the hands of someone who would definitely make good use of it or if you would like to demonstrate the immense difference your course can make in a difficult situation, then I am the one to select.
My launch is in your hands.
Best wishes and good luck with your own launch.

Jeff:
For the last couple of years I have wanted to provide a service for tracking a marketer’s ROI. Well, I am getting closer to my dream with my site: trackingstudio.com
It’s not *really* public yet, as I am in process of getting it ready for an official launch.
Then I started getting the emails about your product launch formula and started salivating, knowing what could be done with a dose of experience and knowledge.
I poured all I have into the site and it’s technology and put “the formula” on my wish list as I am out o funds for now.
The site has enormous potential, but most importantly, so do I. I will make this a success, through shear determination, ans hopefully, with your help from your course.
I am thankful just for the opportunity to “apply”.

Hi Jeff,
What you are doing right now is cool with this ‘essay contest’.
I have been following you since I met you.
I have been reading and understanding what you are teaching…at least I believe I am.
I am preparing for a HUGE Launch of my Own. I out-sourced the programming and copywriting. I realized however, that in order for my major product and site launch to be a Successful SIX (or more) FIGURE one, I NEED YOU to walk me through it.
I have already been gathering beta testers on it. So far 52 out of 100, that good!
I expect my launch will be about a month or so down the road. What I NEED and WANT to do is learn what I need to do “EXACTLY to the ‘T’” before the actual launch.
I have started my beta list.
I am starting a Pre-launch list.
I am Making sure that I OVER-Deliver
I HAVE to do it right because my idea is SOLID. The software and site will be amazing with all the bells and whistles, more than anyone would never dream of.. The opportunity for those who use it will be amazing. The MONEY THEY ALONE will and can Make will be amazing.
It will make me a lot of money- It will set my feet firmly on the ground, this is NO DOUBT to me, but I just don’t want to leave any money laying on the table. I believe your Product Launch Forumula will guide me SUCCESSFULLY through my launch.
I could make one hell of a success story for you.
My family would be proud and I would once and for all be debt free. I would give you lots of credit as well.
In His Grip!

No offense to any of the previous posters, but I doubt showering Jeff Walker with compliments about how great he is will make much of a difference.. or maybe it will!
WHY I need/want your product for free.. I am 25 years old, and I’m in a niche market. People who play bagpipes. I play them, my uncles play them, etc. I play them well, really well, and I’ve been very successful. I released my first album this year, got rave reviews in relatively big publications and have already gone through 1000 copies. in the piping world, that’s pretty good. However, i think this market is very hardnosed, jaded, skeptical, etc. about new information products. I know, because I am very involved in the market I’m trying to sell to. I want to see if your product can crack into it. If it can’t, i’m not sure what can. There are thousands and thousands of pipers in the US alone, and I’m sure a lot of them will want to buy WHAT I need your course for, which is to launch my online piping lessons series of courses. HOw to play piano, how to play guitar, etc. do well. Why can’t How to play Bagpipes without leaving your house to drive or fly to expensive lessons from an accomplished and well known player?
Think it over Jeff, it would be incredible to get this off the ground. Unless of course.. you hate bagpipes.

Hi Jeff,
OK, straight to the point - I have spent the last 12 years putting together a futures trading system that can not lose. I have it fully up and running in tradestation with fully automated trading.
Now the bad news, it has cost me over 250,000 USD to get this project completed, which represents a massive chunk of my income, which now leaves me with very little capital to fund my trading account in order to reap the rewards of those 12 long & painful years.
What I plan to do is to make the system available via the net, i.e. via web cam directly to my trading screens.
I know nothing about internet marketing and therefore need this course so that I can launch this product, afterall, how many people would not want a futures trading system that generates substantial profits and guarantees that you can not lose ?
Many thanks,
Neil.
October 18th, 2005 at 8:56 pm
I am entry #96
I Just have a PS?
PS.. I am also going to bring to life by relaunch all of my inactive websites using your methods. I won’t just use it for this one launch, but for the rest of my internet marketing career.
As far as showering you with compliments, what is wrong with them if they are true?
In His Grip!

After I listened to the social proof conference call last week, I pulled the marketing (adwords) for my ebook offline, because I wasn’t happy with the way I launched my book to begin with, and I wanted to take some more time to apply the things that I learned. I have learned so much from you already from that call, and from your emails, and am looking forward to doing a proper product launch–at this point, strictly from the things I have studied so far. There is no way that I will be able to purchase your program because money is so tight here. So tight, in fact, that I am not able to put my book in print (which is my preference), because I just cannot justify the expense for laminated covers to my husband, and I won’t sell it without them, as they are necessary for the durability and usefulness of the product. So, I put it out in ebook format, much to my dismay.
I also run a website for MRSA and Superbug infections, that is not for profit (well, I am not selling anything there, but am making enough money to support the site from a little affiliate marketing), but is a very useful interactive resource for people who are suffering from these types of infections. I really think that your course would be very helpful to me there as well, because I am working very hard on establishing a community environment, and have plans to start several types of groups (i.e., book/study groups on different health/self improvement subjects), and I really don’t know what else might come up. But I am positive that the launching of new features, as well as the promotion of the ones that are currently there, can and would be made much better with your help. As it stands now, I am planning the first study group, and have had in my mind the last couple of days how I can use social proof to help get people exciting about starting this first program with me (based on Dr. Andrew Weil’s book “8 Weeks to Optimum Health”).
At any rate, I thank you for the information that you have shared so far- it has changed the way I am thinking about sales and marketing already - and I can surely guarantee you that your product would help me very much as a beginning marketer, a budding writer and someone who is working very hard to give back to their community.
October 18th, 2005 at 9:11 pm
Hi,
Top Reasons Why I Want This Course And Why I Will Purchase It Even If I Don’t Win This Competition!
1. I don’t have a clue on how to launch a product like Jeff, John Reese etc.
2. I am willing to learn and apply the product launch formula to make the most of my earning potential.
3. I am confident I will recover the cost of the DVDs in no time.
4. I wanna travel for at least 6 months next year and I would definitely stop by in the USA to get you a cup of coffee for helping me.
Cheers,
Vincent

Hi Jeff,
I desperately need this course!
I am writing the DEFINITIVE guide to designing a website. This e-book has everyting in it!
It has chapters on accessibility, usability, psychology of color in website design, how to ftp, design a site, keyword research, html, tables, and css tutorials, building a site by handcoding, using templates, using website builders and on and on. And it teaches how to do all of this for FREE or at a minimal cost.
The book will be available in 2 formats, just the book in .pdf and then .pdf with videos that actually show how to build a website, ftp, design header graphics, etc. It should be invaluable to newbies and even people with some experience will learn things from it.
In addition, there will be an accompanying book with over 1000 links to free stuff for building websites, tutorials, free services, free advertising sources etc.
But, I need to learn how to launch it!
Thanks,
Donna
PS: I also have other products that are really great products but need relaunched such as my diet tips book. Everyone that does purchase my products, loves them. I just don’t know how to really promote them!
October 18th, 2005 at 9:19 pm
Dear Jeff,
Why I need your course… I’m currently in the military, in a very Specialized unit with a Very High Risk responsibility. I’m constantly getting deployed and training for every possible “what if” scenario. I have just gotten married and have been developing my own product for the last few weeks. Recently some of my friends have gotten injured and I fear if I don’t find an opportunity to afford me the option of getting out, I’m afraid I will be next. I have read every free to moderate course available on an Airman’s salary. This is the Main piece missing from the puzzle.
Please help a soldier seize the moment.
Sincerely,
Senior Airman Jonathan Brown

Hi Jeff,
Well, I’ll get right to the point. I am a part time real estate investor. True, the product lunch formula may night be the best product for real estate investing, but with my internet integration website I am working on, ITS PERFECT!!
Now, why me? Well, because its gives your product even more exposure to not online online business but real estate business. I mean, think about it. Product lunch formula on REAL ESTATE? Who would ever think that you could do that.
Second, you might ask for motivation. Well, here is my motivation. Currently, I am investing part time while working full time at a “rat race” type of job. But, I don’t think I will be dworking there anymore. Why? Well, because today, actually TODAY, FBI agents stormed our office, seized all the computers and documents because someone that was affiliated with my boos has been scamming people. Two, I just found out that the 401k I have been contributing to for the past few years has never made it to my 401k plan. My company still has my money. So, as you can see, soon there’ll be no job but bills and family still needs to be taken care of.
I hope that I’ll get chosen because this is once in a lifetime oportunity and I’m sure as not going to let it pass me by. Thanks for your consideration.

Good evening Jeff,
Reading your e-mail at work today, I could hardly wait to get home and respond. In fact I’ve been wanting to write the first part of this for days….
So, first, thanks for your efforts these past several days, Jeff, for the “Social Proof” call, the tremendous living in-action example you’re giving us of how to orchestrate a great launch and for giving someone a chance to own and use your new course who might not otherwise be able to benefit from your experience and expertise.
I’ve already learned more than I thought there was to know about putting together a fantastic product launch with phenomenal momentum just following your e-mail messages, being on the “Social Proof” call and replaying it, reading your blog entries and watching this grow. Your own launch is sure to be a marketing “shot-heard-round-the-world.”
…And you certainly have earned it. Your enthusiasm and dedication to your message and work really comes through in what you’ve done already: Proving another powerful principle in promoting your Launch Formula. Thanks for giving us for free more and better than most marketers in your field sell and who profess to know how to win the on-line marketing race. And thanks for believing you can win bigger and better by carrying others with you, for both believing and showing us that you live the principle of abundance.
I do have a product ready for launch. But I also know that I’ll own and use your Launch Formula one way or another, as a winner either of your contest or as winner who is a paying client. It’ll take a few months and we may have to get our copy from your next batch. Or, perhaps we’ll win contest. I can tell you no one will put it to work more fully and more readily because we have a great product that also helps people prosper as they reach for and achieve their dreams by being and sharing who they really are and what they have to give.
But, I wouldn’t be true to what I feel if I didn’t cast my vote (after reading the posts above mine) for Eric Graham and his father. A touching story and very deserving project indeed. There are many of those above but Eric’s really touched me. I hope his venture with his father really takes flight. And I hope everyone who has the real desire benefits from your course, achieves and receives the tremendous success they dream.
The product my wife and I have developed and tested is our passion: Teaching people how to stimulate, realize and optimize the use of their own minds, talents, potential, creative abilities and natural gifts for learning, for achieving, for receiving tramandous abundance. Our belief is that we do in very deed live in a universe full to overflowing with abundance, that it is the birthright of every human to enjoy all of that abundance they can possibly imagine and more in their lives, and that we really already have the talents and tools we need to achieve this.
What we’ve learned is that too many of us on this old Earth have somehow forgotten how to use the abilities we already have, fallen asleep to who we really are, wandered off the path or stepped out of the stream of abundance that is our right, our heritage, our duty to receive and to share with each other. This abundance has as its foundation those very unique talents, perspectives and gifts each person already possesses, but many have forgotten them, neglected them or never let them develop fully.
We’ve also learned that when someone can be convinced of their own power to be, to remember and experience who they really are, it unlocks doors, windows and paths of achievement and abundance that were assumed to be un-open-able or non-existent.
If just a few convincing experiences of the power of your mind and your own built-in abilities to learn, to succeed and to do can open such doors, imagine what happens when you walk a path filled with them!
Our dream is to show to those whose lives we touch and who own our products the keys to learn how to operate their minds, to realize and optimize the use of the abundance they already have to produce more for themselves, their families, their communities and anyone with whom they come in contact.
We believe, after seeing what you’re doing, that your Product Launch Formula course will help us bring this gift to many in our own niches and beyond more quickly, more beneficially and more powerfully than any other strategy we’ve seen.
It is amazing to watch the momentum your Launch Course’s own launch is gaining each day. We’ll do our best to emulate the principles your strategy embodies. But, we also know that, like the cargo cults of the South Pacific, we will be most effective in our own launch efforts when we not only watch what you and other successful marketers do, and do that too, but also learn, understand and apply to our situation the underlying and empowering principles from which you are doing your own amazing work.
It is these principles, not mere imitation of your forms and words, that we hope to gain from owning your course.
Thanks for sharing your passion with us.
And all the very best,
Daren & Nathalie Fairbanks

Hello Jeff,
I have just started with my first steps in Internet marketing. If you check my website, you might see that there nothing yet, but I intend to complete everything by the end of this month. I have some exams to complete till next week after that I devote all my time to my website, and the advantage is that I am the webmaster.
I intend to make a site that will make the visitors feel attached to it and they’ll want to come again and again. When walking home I was thinking about a way but I still haven’t come up with any idea.
I believe your course will help me greatly in my quest.
Thanks.

Hi Jeff. Thanks for the opportunity to tell you why I need your course and what I plan to use it for.
The reason why I need your course is because I know the ‘real deals’ from the impostors. No one has to tell me that the key to my success as far as generating income online (and offline) with the above site, or any site for that matter, is finally getting my hands on the right information.
I’ve had to miss out so many times now on great opportunities (such as this one) due to a lack of funds. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that it’s very frustrating and disheartening. However, I know that it takes a lot of patience and perseverence to finally reach worthwhile goals.
Also, the current web site I have developed is for a very humble product and I’m really eager to prove to myself that even a product such as a screen saver can generate income if matched to the right market and marketed in the right way.
My plans for your course? Just like the site I currently have, I plan to create many, many more similar sites targeting a diversity of different markets with very humble, innocent screen savers catered to each niche market because, after all, everybody likes and enjoys screensavers and it’s very easy to cater them to any niche.
Once again, thank you for the chance to share my ideas and thoughts with you and participate in the opportunity of a lifetime!

I am not sure if this course can help with launches like menswear. You know non-informational products..but if i does, i will gladly like to take on this course.
Offline marketing is quite different, need to spend thousands of dollars on print advertising…i would need this course only to prove that this course works just about any offline and online businesses. It would surely be a kill.
Cheers,

Hi Jeff,
I felt very excited when I first saw your product’s sneak preview. The course is huge and exciting.
I have came to know you when I visited Yanik’s Underground Seminar DVD. Frankly that is when I start to explore the region of internet marketing. I get attracted to it and straight away subscribe your Six in Seven newsletter. In fact I have contacted you several times (but I don’t think you will remember me
)
Why I need this course ? Just one simple reason, my goal of becoming the youngest millionaire in Singapore at age 25 (I am age 23 now) and I am currently start from zero. It may seems trivial for you because your aim is achieve six in seven days but that is what my goal is. A millionaire before age 25. I don’t have my product yet now but it will be out within 1 month as I am working on it. It is not a big course like your Product Launch Formula but eventually
I will create a comprehensive home study course based on it. My first product will just be an entry for my prospects.
You know as well as I do that product launch is one of the most vital part of business cycle. What I believe is in order to be a successful person, you need to learn from the most successful one and I believe that based on your track record, you are definitely one of the top in product launch. Your course will definitely help me to boost my sales.
My testimonial about the product will definitely one of your best testimonial. I really need your course. Although $997 is really a very good price for your product, but I really don’t have much financial power left because I invested alot for the study materials about internet marketing during these 4 months.
I know Jeff you will definitely give me your course based on my sincerity. I am looking foward to hear from you

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the opportunity to obtain your Product Launch Formula course. Simply put the reason I need to course is to learn how to do a product launch. After trying earn money via the Internet and not being successful the idea of a product launch is great. Now to the dip in the road - my wife has let me do my thing on the Internet and has seen my failure thus I need a free great system to implement to get out of the Internet marketing “doghouse”.
I see others earning income from the Internet and know it is possible (just don’t have a clue on how and what to do
What will I do with your course is of course IMPLEMENT IT and then send you a great testimonial about how my success was achieved with Jeff Walker’s help.
God Bless !

Hi Jeff
I have watched you prduct launch unfold with excitement, and then disappointment at the price. Dont get me wrong worth every penny and twice as much. Just eant out of my reach. Why? because of late i have devoted my time to bringing on a whole group of people fed up of being scammed and giving them new hope, this has ,eant I have neglected my sites and income. Dont get me wrong the satisfaction in helping them is ample compensation.
If you decided to give me your formula free I would use it to put together a launch that put together a whole number of products i already have and a number I am writing at the moment to try and further my aim of helping as many as possible and putting to rest that the internat is just full of scammers. Its time to bring people s faith in the internet back.
Am i a crusader, lol no way but if we can re instil faith the viral marketing of that word of mouth will bring them back in their droves and open up our ever shrinking ( and yes people it is starting to shrink because of those disallusioned ) back up again, hey and then make my millions I planned to.
Dean Beaumont
P.S. Regardless of all that congratulations on what you have achieved and i have no doubt whoever is lucky enough to lay their hands on your product will have found the Midas touch.

Hi Jeff!
A contest is a great idea.
In fact we’ve already put a contest on our page (Unveiled.TheForbiddenInternet.com) and will be ready to launch it in a day or two.
We already have John Reese’s course (our order was one of the first on his big million $+ launch day), and others, but your product launch formula would certainly help fill in some of the missing gaps for us.
This would also help us to provide for a family whose husband and father has spent 4 years fighting an unlawful conviction in the state of Texas — where, apparently, you can be denied the right to call witnesses for the defense, legal assistance when too poor to afford it, etc., for a concocted offense — whose appeals have nearly run out, leaving him and his family (six children, including one grandchild, due to her parents’ illness, living in their home) impoverished, and without even government food stamps to help (they don’t believe in socialist insecurity or welfare).
The state has also filed a suit to sell their home for unpaid taxes (the man is a minister, and this ministerial home is their only real property).
Our project is this man’s brainchild, hard work and effort for the past year, despite all the legal paperwork he has been forced to handle without any legal assistance, and it is his family’s last hope to survive should he go to prison soon, which is a very real likelihood.
They just might pull through it all, but don’t have anything to spare toward advertising or time to wait for free advertising to kick in.
Your course just might help them over the hump.

Hi Jeff,
I need this course simply because it will enable the passion and drive in me to be able to take the future of internet broadcasting to the place I seem to be the only one that knows it can go too. That is to become the single most innovative development in human communication since the caveman uttered the first grunt.
I see a world where everything we want to watch, listen to or read it available when we want it, at a time we want it and where we want it on laptop, pda, ipod, cellphone, in your car or on your desktop.
But I also a see a world where everyone with something to say like you Jeff can say it to anyone or to everyone in a unique and engaging way.
I see a world where local internet radio and local internet tv are as common as their terrestrial equivilants are now - I have the system to create this and the technology is written that will allow me to offer to create and online channel for you message and content Jeff that can then be access in the local time of the listener with content inserted specific to that listener - so that a radio station could on your birthday mention your name when you were listening because the station would know you have logged.
All of this I can do I have developed the technology but what I need not is the unique marketing strategies to drive this concept and technology home to the market and I think that Product Launch is that strategy let me find out as like all great ideas I have simply not the money to purchase the course out right that is why I believe I an the person that should recieve the course from you - let me use it and work with it and prove that it works and then I will use the skills and strategies that you will teach me to enable thousands of other people with something to say (the world calls these broadcasters) to also learn the ability to make themselves heard.
What a world it would be if we could all be heard?

Jeff,
You present an offering that is too good to be true! “Why do I need this course?” I need this course because I have put together a plan for a service that is needed and can be used to help anyone & everyone on the face of the earth. It just needs to be presented in the right way. Best of all… everyone on the face of the earth will want (and need) it. It is a combination of multiple sources that when packaged will create a synergy that has been sought after by humankind for millennia. I need this course of yours, Jeff, to get all my ducks in a row… to present this to the right lists… to package it correctly and, especially, to give the most value. I need your course to teach me how to present my product and service in the best way possible and to provide the value it brings each person in the most effective long lasting way. The way I have mentioned will allow me, and all associated with me, to reap the greatest income and give the most value to the customers who have exchanged their dollars to me to show them how to use this product and service for themselves and all around them. But, Jeff, I need more than that. I need your personal counseling for this and possibly from others in your circle who will want to join and contribute in the adventure I am warming you up to.
I am a professional engineer by trade, a musical cowboy entertainer on the weekends and a web site developer at night… but I have always been looking to build a better mouse trap and ways to help others. On a daily basis, my integrity and honesty is on the line and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I am a divorced father supporting two children in college and have gone over and above to support them and my ex-wife emotionally and financially. Because of this commitment, I cannot afford to buy your course “or” your counseling services. I live virtually paycheck to paycheck and am able, sometimes, to put a small amount in a boring pass-book savings account in the bank. I am in debt to the IRS (but paying them monthly as agreed). I drive an efficient car, rent a small duplex and give to charity on a regular basis. So, yes, I believe we are our brother’s keeper. I believe the joy of “having” is in the “sharing”…and “giving”… and “giving” …and “giving”. I have spent more nights than I can count staring up at the moon and stars exclaiming to the heavens what I would do if I only had the chance. Your boldness in doing what you have done with your life through this business has enriched others and made a difference and you will continue to do that for many years to come. That has been my long held dream, Jeff… “To make a difference”. I have done that in a small way with my years of volunteer work at the public schools. But, I want to do it on a much bigger scale. What you are offering can make that happen for me.
So, that is my answer to the “why” and the “what” of your challenge, Jeff. And I ask you, now, to help me “make the difference”! I am 52 years old from Texas, but now living in Colorado. Thank you for the opportunity to ask for your help. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, for years now I have developed a website which essentially helps people discover more about some of the great places where I have lived. In addition, because I have an interest in things-out-of-the ordinary, I have placed links for people to learn more about NLP, Handwriting Anlaysis, Celestine Prophecy etc. Then I have allowed younger readers to enjoy some of my original poetry. Finally, I have written a self-help book on personal improvement/development, which is available for free download. I’d like to publicise the site to more people, and also use it for more personal development tools, which I would sell at a nominal price.
I’m sure your course would help me do that, and I’d be happy to give you feedback, and be guided by you towards ultimate success. Cheers, Mike
October 18th, 2005 at 11:30 pm
Jeff -
First, I want to say “Thank you” for giving each of us this opportunity!
Why I need this course - I have been a home based day care provider for the last 12 years. And to be honest I never intended to do this as long as I have, but for the most part the money is decent. But to be very honest, I’ve changed about as many dirty diapers as I can stand and I should have taken out stock in Kleenex years ago for all of the nasty noses I’ve wiped! I also am tired of having little to no control in regards to the amount of money I make. I’m forever at the mercy of my day care parents employeers and the economy! One day I might have 8 day care children, and the next day I might only have 6 because of a lay off! You have no control!
But after years of being only a “dreamer”, I now have the drive and determination to step out of my comfort zone and take control of my own future! I have been several years in developing my product, which is not an information product and it will be ready to launch shortly after the first of the year.
My product has come about because of my own personal story and it is a line of jewelry that will hold special meanings for the wearer. I’m so excited about it!
What I need your product for - To allow me to learn about and hit the market in a big way. I’m not expecting to bat a 1000 the first time out as an entrepreneur, but I’d sure like to be batting 700!
And I think my success would be a testimonial for you to be able to tell about the day care provider who was able to throw out all the baby bottles, diaper wipes and butt creams because she used your Product Launch Formula! Think about it!
Many Blessings Jeff!

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of the Product Launch Formula.
Let me give you a little background to help you understand who I am and where I am at in my drive towards internet marketing.
A little over three years ago I discovered that I had a skill in public speaking. I decided to take the entrepreneurial approach and capitalize on what I am able to do well that others find difficult. So, since then I have:
• Further developed my public speaking skills.
• Chosen a niche market – Leadership and Presentation skills for Information Technology and Information Systems Professionals.
• Written a book on the subject – Secrets of Leadership for IT/IS Professionals.
• Spoken at a couple of software conferences – recording myself and creating audio and video programs. I have also gathered email addresses on feedback forms to start my mailing list.
Since that time I discovered several things:
• I was getting very little traffic to my website.
• I was getting even less response from those who visited my website (that is, visitors were not joining my list).
• I was not getting much response from the few people who were on my list.
I realized that I need to learn more about internet marketing. With that in mind I purchased the audio and video recordings of Yanik Silver’s Underground Internet Marketing Seminar.
That program was packed with incredible ideas. So many that I decided to take some time and experiment with a few concepts to learn more. For example:
• I have launched one site that I am experimenting with buzz/viral marketing.
• I have plans for several other sites and membership drives in order to push my response rate up.
I particularly enjoyed your segment in the series. I had already been working at establishing a relationship with the list but I learned so much more. I applied what I learned from your talk to a drive to increase the membership in my list. I figured that the techniques that you talked about could be applied to actions that you want your list members to do besides buying products; in my case I asked them to tell their friends and co-workers about the great content that they were getting from the list. In order to do this, I:
• Gave the list members a reason for the membership drive.
• Turned the drive into an event.
• Included lots of incentives for them to respond.
• Gave them feedback during the event.
• Gave them a clear deadline in which to take action.
Unfortunately the response that I got was very minimal. I was originally trying to decide whether I had picked a niche that was just not very responsive (unlikely) or whether (more likely) I needed to understand these skills more.
I recently learned that several people on my list were not receiving the broadcasts – obviously this will have an impact and I need to fix this first and then re-launch the drive.
In the mean time I have also been reading Influence, which I have heard several people mention and I think that you might have been one of them. I am about to incorporate some of the concepts that I have learned in it to my buzz/viral site.
I hope that this rather long winded history demonstrates that I definitely do take action with not only my own ideas but also the ideas that I learn from others.
Now, what would I do with the Product Launch Formula and why do I need it?
My idea of what my business is has obviously changed. Originally it was intended to be a professional speaking business. It is now an information products business; of which professional speaking is one small component.
Of course the more I learn, the more I realize that there is so much that I do not know. I started off focusing on my speaking skills while learning the marketing skills in the background. I have since learned that the ability to market products is so much more important than I originally thought.
The skills and techniques that you talked about at Underground Event excited me for a number of reasons:
• Obviously the incredible results that you and the people that you have assisted have achieved.
• The fact that you promote honesty and integrity. You told the audience to establish a relationship with their lists, don’t betray that relationship by lying, hold the list accountable and not break your own rules.
I can relate to and appreciate those values.
With my business I now have the products side in control. I have the speaking along with a number of other products developed and more on the way. I have learned a lot about marketing and traffic generation but there is a lot more for me to learn. Most importantly from what I have learned so far I believe that it is the skills and techniques that you teach that I would most like to learn and apply to my organizations marketing plan.
I would love to launch the marketing for my events with the enthusiasm and effectiveness that you conveyed in your presentation. I look forward to learning much more from you.
Once again, thank you for the opportunity to compete.

Dear Jeff,
The reason I am writing you to request your contribution of a free copy is my plan of action for it:
1- I will implement a massive campagne to market a nutritional supplement from a company that has saved my handicapped son’s life. What I have experienced is a story not to be kept secret but to spread to the world. I have witnessed the miracle of science but only by sheer force of a mother… I refused surgery for my son with Cerebral Palsy and opted for very time cnsuming non-invasive therapies and as a result… my son who was born 10 weeks premature with Cerebral Palsy and Mental Retardation, who has no self help skills nor can he speak, (has very limited communication skills) could not balance at all even in a chair …. now because of this nutrition has evolved to be able to sit in a chair without toppling over and can stand out of a chair without assistance… I still get shivers up my spine when I recall the first time he actually used his own muscles to do this simple task. His doctors have told me to make him comfortable that there will be no improvement in his condition… Jeff I need to tell other moms out there about this miracle that is available to them. Every person on this earth will benefit from it.
2: the money I will earn from my endeavors are ear marked to be saved and invested for my son’s care… these days home health care is an industry in crisis unless you have $50 + / hour for payment available to you. Extra earnings will be reinvested in helping others become independent. The government cannot handle the load it has with handicapped children, adults and elderly. The amount of negligence is sad and the saddest part is the family care takers are most neglected as they get no reprieve( I am one who has veen blessed enought to be able to get it).
3: I would weather you choose me or not, offer another competition where I will purchace a copy for a suitable cause that you can help me choose.
4: We live in an abundant world… I want to open people’s eyes to this abundance…
Help me accomplish this if you will!
Sincerely,
Sunita

Dear Jeff,
Hello. By the amount of people participating in this contest, you already have your “Social Proof” working. Now why should you give me a free copy of your course? Well, in today’s economy, it is getting harder and harder for the average person to make ends meet. Most consumers are in way over their heads financially and need to know how to really save money on everything they buy. I want to help those people make a better life for themselves and their family. As a newbie, I have written two books, “How To Stop Wasting Money!” and “How A Family Of Five Can Feast On $35/Week” and have put together websites that show people how to take control of their own finances and get total value for everything they buy. Since the sites are pretty new, I want to get the word out to as many people as possible so that everyone can benefit and I believe with your product, I can do that. With what has happened to this country after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, interest rates going up, surging gas prices, and rising consumer prices, someone has got to step in and help those who need the help. What better way to get the word out! Your product would help me reach my target audience and make a difference in many people’s lives. Sometimes, it just takes that one spark to ignite a huge flame and your product will be that igniter! You have a great product there but at $997, it is a bit beyond my means at the moment but If I could win it, it would allow me to help a great many people. Either way Jeff, good luck on your product and Godspeed to all of those that are participating in this contest. Whoever wins, I wish you nothing but success. You deserve it.
Thanks,

I took the decision to quit my daily job 2 years ago and make my living online.
I LOVE to help others to overcome their lives, from teens to marriage.
But my dream was under proof. I was fired from my job 2 years ago on october. On december I didn´t have money to pay the hosting bills. If it were only for money, I would kill my site.
But I couldn´t stand being lose my dream “Who is going to help people overcome their lives by free on the internet? Who? There´s only information garbage. I CAN´T STAND LOSE MY DREAM, I DON´T KNOW WHAT I WILL DO, BUT I CAN´T STAND IT, NO WAY.”
On that December, I looked for ways of paying and received a money that I didn´t expect. I believe God help me to folow my way.
Since then, my site growed up and has become the best spanish site to help others to overcome their lives by free. I´ve monetized my site using Google Adsense.
I´ve been asked for my family to trough away my dream on helping others and doing my living on the internet. Because I don´t earn enough to give me some luxury. Only survive. But my dream is BIGGER than my fears. I have to admit that some days I feel desperately, but I take some deep breaths and trust in me and God. And keep my dream up.
As entrepeneur, I liked to make more money and decided to explore the english market.
There´s too much oportunity to earn money in the english market. But I took a look on how the sites helping overcome people were doing. They were painful. Too many psycologists selling ebooks, but not any useful free information to help the people who really need it.
Who is going to help the teens, who doesn´t earn any money? Who is going to help the people who doesn´t have any penny an need desperately a piece of advice?
So, betweeen the money and my heart, I´ve decided for my heart. I´ve decided to help others to overcome their lives by free on the internet, in the english market.
I know I´m living money on the table. But I ´ve choose to earn emotional money first. I know, I will change the lives of too many people and no one can pay me the emotional earnings I will get from them. No one.
I am very far from having my financial life solved. So, It wasn´t an easy decision choose between money and heart. I only know, I wouldn´t be able to survive on the internet if I didn´t LOVE what I do.
But one of Jeff´s emails give me an idea. I can monetize my english site using Adsense, and use “Product Launch Formula” to promote an ebook or DVD program as an affiliate.
I don´t have the heart to sell my knolwedge. I always give all I know by free. But I can complement my advice, recommending paid resources from others
)
So, this is the way I will use “The Poduct Launch Formula” if I´m the winner.
That way, I will help people and make money.
My ultimate goal, is to enlight my life through purpose.
I dream, to help Non-profit organizations giving them money to help its causes, from alcoholic to elderly.
Since I´m a motivational speaker, I´m willing to give free shows to help others also. It´s my task life.
By the way, I ALWAYS use to apply what the masters teach me.
Jhon Reese recommended me test-test-test and milk one project before moving to another.
I followed up his advice and the results blow me away. I was able to monetize my site testing Adsense ads formats and milking my spanish site.
Now, I do my living online thanks to follow Reese´s advice. Enough to survive. But of course I would like to make more money to enjoy the life and help others, not only survive.
I followed up the advice on creating expectation for the subscribers from you Jeff, so when I launched my forum I created expectation for it. Some of my subscribers droped me emails like “I can´t stand the time to see the forum alive”, so I know the suspense does work
)
The day I´ve had more people online was on the launch day
)
Also, I followed up the advice from you, don´t sell anything in my newsletter, so my subscribers will be more responsive when I offer something to them.
I don´t know what to offer to them yet, but I´m building a relationship with them and bringing quality info by free weekly.
I have to be clear here: I WILL launch my english site on december or january. I´ll do first the keyword research and after translate my website contents to english from spanish. But I WILL do it.
Summing up: I apply what I learn, from you and others. I know, your “Product Launch Formula” will help me to monetize my new english website, even my spanish site, and also apply to other fields of my life. The same as I´ve done with Jhon Reese advice.
If I had the money, I would buy your “Product Launch Formula” right away.
I made the decision to purchase your ebook if it was $100 or less while receving your “Six in seven” newsletter. The pricing of your DVD product is beyond me. The same as Traffic Secrets from Jhon Reese. For me, your one-free offer It´s a fantastic oportunity to have your product and put IMMEDIATELY into action your ideas.
I´ve seen the package arriving to my home. I´ve seen my little hands put on the package, opening it, and reading desesperately.
The choose of who is going to be the winner is opt to you. But I´ve felt pretty well inside me, thanks for the hope to be the one
)
Thanks for be so kind with us your subscribers. I don´t remember ANY emarketer doing it, giving away one of his high priced products by free.
Thanks Jeff
October 18th, 2005 at 11:47 pm
I would love a free copy of the launch course. I’ve now got my own domain, www.PsychologyNatural and I’m getting set to deliver downloadable self-help programs -everything from dealing with depression to career enhancement. Getting set up with the optimization, cgi forms, online payment system etc etc is nearly complete - all very very alien stuff for me - but almost done. The next problem is a cost effective strategy for developing the traffic - that’s where the product launch system would be wonderful! Vic
October 18th, 2005 at 11:56 pm
Hi Jeff!
You are offering a great opportunity here.
I am from China and in the “network marketing” just some month. I am doing quite well until know.
Our business: “China Wholesale Electronics - Buying direct from the market in China”. We have many products like Electronic Gadgets, Digital Cameras, MP3 Players, Notebooks, etc.
I need your Product Launch Formula to help people like eBay Sellers, Yahoo Store Owners and others to get consumer electronics easy and direct from China.
With YOUR Product Launch Formula I will let people know which are selling electronic products on the Internet that China is THEIR place to doing business with.
As I told you, my website is quite new and only some people know about this great opportunity until now.
So, with your course I am not only helping these people, I also want to give other marketers the chance to make money online as affiliates along with my website.
I will use the formula to launch my products before Christmas! Many people can start to make a fortune with our products online within this year.
Thanks.

Jeff, your target audience will learn everything they need to know about generating wild profits from their products when they see this example — your Product Launch Formula will fly off the shelves faster, maybe even doubling your revenues, when they see how they can take their ideas and turn them into a fortune literally overnight.
I’ve been creating products for more than 18 months now:
• DVD #1: “Driving Traffic to Your Website”
• DVD #2: “Top 10 Secrets for a Successful Business Website”
• E-book: “What Every Small Business Must Know About Marketing”
• Flash presentation: “Overcoming Information Overload”
• Report #1: “250 Internet and Computer Tips Turn You Into a Power Internet User”
• Report #2: “How to Promote Your Website”
• Report #3: “51 Lessons to Becoming a Sales Superstar” (Essential for network marketers!)
• MP3 #1: One-Hour Teleseminar on Marketing for Small Business Owners
• MP3 #2: One-Hour Teleseminar on Making Your Website More Effective
• 2-Day Seminar: “Million Dollar Websites in a Weekend”
• And more…
The material to create them comes from over 25 years of experience in sales and marketing, 9 years of building websites for small businesses. These are all real products, completed, tested in front of live audiences and my current clients. Now I just need to learn your secrets for exploding my business, helping your readers — and YOU! You’ve heard of the “multiplier effect”, right? Sending your Product Launch Formula today means you’ll have a testimonial that will motivate your audience to take action now! You’ll be multiplying your efforts and helping thousand, maybe even tens of thousands more people than you could reach before.
I look forward to implementing your Product Launch Formula immediately!! Thanks!

i am very new to this stuff have been for about 6 years trying to find something to get out of the rat race and have been burnt many many times and u r the real deal and seem to care for people at least i hear it in your words so with that i hope and pray that i end up with the great product that u have created for the world to use thanks so much for allowing me to post this have a awsome day
October 19th, 2005 at 12:25 am
I have a jobsite currently in production (target finish date: November) and my main goal for it is to help out other people to find jobs easily and quickly, especially in a third world country such as the Philippines. I began making websites four years ago and was a full-time designer for about a year. But after that stint I came back to my websites and actively maintained them, which I believe is my true joy and calling. I had my jobsite in mind for years — but I didn’t have enough resources to pull it off. So I put Adsense ads in my websites, and now I have just enough to make my dream a reality. I have so many things I daydream about but I need to focus on this one first and foremost. I ran into Product Launch Formula only a few days ago via another site and saw the video and read about Social Proof. Social Proof was a good read from start to finish — and I though to myself the Product Launch Formula is exactly what I need to make my jobsite take off. I admit that I am not as marketing-savvy as most people. But I do have the passion and drive to succeed. For a company basically starting from scratch, winning this product will definitely help me get a jumpstart in my marketing efforts. At the same time I will be able to help others do the same with their careers. Thanks for your consideration, Jeff.
October 19th, 2005 at 12:33 am
Hello Jeff,
Absolutely fascinating reading all these requests!
You’re using the triggers masterfully.
Simply put, as I stated during the “Social Proof” call, my partners and I were in the middle of a product launch during that very time.
Twenty days, from conception to full launch… many sleepless nights, and some financial success so far.
Now comes the rest of the story.
Here’s exactly what we will do with our complimentary copy of your Product Launch course.
1. We will work with everyone else who has already posted to bring them traffic, highly qualified traffic.
2. Your course will ensure that we leave no stone unturned in our quest to discover and exploit new and exciting ways to deliver highly effective advertising to an evermore skeptical world.
3. The alliances we are building in our fledgling industry stand us well as we work creatively to provide cost-effective targeted traffic to program/product owners.
We all know that the most difficult part of building the business is finding the traffic. Search engines can be fickle, e-mail is iffy at best, traffic exchanges aren’t as targeted as you’d like.
Simply put, your course provides the checklist which lets us help all the others here get the most advertising bang for their buck as we continue discover ways to provide creative advertising into targeted markets, causing people to pull out their credit cards and buy everyone’s products.
See you at the top!

I’ve got several products ready to go, none digital. My products belong in retail stores. What I need to do is sell to buyers of chain stores or sales reps. I require no factory. This product can be made in the U.S. or over seas by companies already set up to do this. The wholesale buyer buys from me, the manufactorer makes these and ships them to the buyer, the buyer then distributes them to his stores. Like digital products, I never have to touch the product or fool with employees. My products are for several separate niches. One niche (the most unusual), is MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). I approached them with a joint venture. They turned me down. Their member list is not available, even though they have over two million members. I have sold some of my products to individual stores and online. I need the big wholesale orders. And I have the ability to create these types of products on demand. Since I work full time during normal business hours, I need a way to sell this without my being there in person. I have done face to face sales for years so I’m not afraid to do that, I’m just currently unavailable to do so. Product Launch Formula. That headline is a dead on target for what I need.
October 19th, 2005 at 1:15 am
Jeff:
I’m always fascinated by the question of life, how life was created on this planet and the search for ETI and so on. So when I saw the headline “Life’s Building Blocks ‘Abundant in Space’” on Yahoo, I clicked instinctively, while at the same time watching my email client do its downloading…
…and then your email about the contest popped up.
And suddenly a weird thought process started.
The building blocks of life are abundant in th e universe - but we don’t really see a lot of life outside of planet earth…why?
The bulding blocks of successful business are more than abundant right here on our mother planet - but we see so many businesses fail, so many dreams shattered …why?
What’s the glue that’s holding the blocks of life in precisely the right way on this planet so that we all could survive and thrive? no one really knows. This has remained an elusive mystery for ages.
But what’s the secret that glues together the building blocks of an outrageously successful business?
Mystery again?
Lucky us, the answer is NO?
Some people actually have solved it for us…I know that for sure.
And that, Jeff, is what I’m waiting to discover in your package - the fully solved mystery laid out for me to see, understand, eliminate the doubts, apply and finally, live happily ever after!
And did I forget to tell you - go on to proudly launch SevenInSix.com…I’m pretty sure that will make you feel a tad proud of yourself too!

Hi Jeff,
I am following your newsletter and, needless to say, it is simply great. I am in a difficult position by posting this comment as I feel quite embarrased posting the reason why I would like to receive your product launch formula free.
1. My economic situation is critical to say the least. I am more than $50K out on my credit cards, married with 2 kids and with many ideas that could be put into action.
2. Many of my products are quite at a good stage but so far I have not been able to “make it” even though in the past I have created products that were extremely powerful and well reviewed… but still no sales.
One of the products ready-ready to be sold is a 4-hour program to help people to quit smoking with audio, videos and printable manuals. The techniques used in my program have been featured by CNN, Channel4, ITV1 and many other networks. I am sure to hit big… but I am at the rock bottom and any help is appreciated.
What I would do with your course? Simple
1. Launch my products
2. Clear up my credit cards
3. Return you the favour (to say the least)
…while finally starting college savings for my 2 kids and finally demonstrate my wife that IS possible to make a living online and I am not just quite a dreamer.
Thank you for your opportunity.
Regards,
Nello

Hi Jeff,
I have three niche markets chock to the brim, stuffed full to overflowing with folks desperate to feel good. Nope, not addicts or internet marketing junkies. Three, as yet unmined, untainted, huge markets full of people with cash, checks, credit cards who I know for a fact will buy things to make themselves feel like better human beings. People who I have personally seen shell out mountains of dollars for a tiny bit of relief from the stress of their jobs.
And I have seen them spend even more on products designed strictly for the benefit of their constituents. These are markets as yet unsullied by the ins and outs of direct response, but in my small tests, extraordinarily responsive to the lure of well crafted direct response.
These folks have real problems with their lives and they are just waiting for someone with a positive soluton to come along so they can solve their dilemmas.
I read this over and at first it seemed to come off a little harsh, like perhaps I might be trying to take advantage of these nice people. But in fact, I have always thought the very point and purpose of targeted direct response is to . . .
find out what people want and provide it for them.
They feel good. I feel good. They happily send me their money so they can feel better and I happily take it down to the bank, and I feel better too. I know I provided great value for the reward I get and my clients feel like they have gotten the bargain of the century.
So, yeah. I would love this course. I am just getting started and it is my intention to blow the doors off these markets so I can extract the cash. And in return, leave each and every client well satisfied with their purchases — until it’s time for the next product rollout. And I would love any help I could get.
Have a great day today.

First of all, thanks for the dynamic content provided on your Social Proof call. I’ve learned a lot.
I need the course to effectively launch a new training series of workbooks and seminars for mortgage professionals. Too many homeowners have had their home buying experience transformed into a nightmare at the hands of a mortgage person who has little or no experience. I’m using my 20+ years of industry experience to change that. The response to my training tools has been good thus far because there is such a need for affordable training. With a powerful tool like your Product Launch Formula, I know that the response will go from good to phenomenal. It will truly help me bring my vision life.
October 19th, 2005 at 1:34 am
I need your course for a few reasons. The first and most important reason can be seen at
http://www.doug.coachgenie.com/checkthisout.html
Fun isn’t it?
The second reason is that I am working on an awesome product that will make a huge difference in people’s lives. The debt in this country is spinning out of control and many people are struggling to figure how to survive. I am creating a completely different way of dealing with the core issues that everyone faces when changing habits around money. It will be a huge contribution! Please help me make a difference in an area of people’s lives that tends to cause the most stress, break up the most marriages, and drives some to kill themselves.

How did I generate over $360,000 in sales in one day?
The answer may surprise you… but what I’m about to tell you will TOTALLY SHOCK YOU.
But first, I must admit… I’ve never ever shared what I’m about to tell you with anyone else before. So let’s keep this between you and me, OK?

RE: Winning Contest Entry
Dear Jeff,
Imagine finding the perfect person to crown as the winner of this incredible contest.
Imagine seeing that person put each and every strategy you teach in your course into their business, creating a truly massive empire.
Imagine sitting back in your chair and smiling as you read the e-mails that this person sends you, sharing his success story… all because of you.
You feel incredible knowing that you helped this person become a Master Product Launcher.
You feel like you’re on the top of the world because you not only changed this person’s life, but you know that this person’s success has sent shockwaves throughout the Internet and it has impacted thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people.
Those who one thought, “I can’t” are now realizing that yes, they really can succeed. The story of “the person who won Jeff’s contest” is now generating millions of dollars in sales… and profit because of your step-by-step system.
Sales for the Product Launch Formula literally explode through the roof with over 400 sales being made each and every single day of the week.
How would that feel Jeff?
I mean imagine! 400 sales pouring in each and every single day month after month after month!
What would you do?
Just think…
Realtors purchase your course to launch and re-launch their business. Restaurant owners run to your website to place their order. Thousands of car dealerships race to your website and quickly enter their credit card number on the order form.
You are shocked to see that an order arrives from a Fortune 1000 company… then another… then another. Within one month, 94% of all Fortune 1000 companies purchase your course.
But it doesn’t stop there…
Your phone is ringing off of the hook from book publishers, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, CNN and Fox News. Even Presidential candidates are calling you directly wanting to pay you 6-figures to spend three days with them and their campaign managers to integrate your launch strategies into their campaign launch.
Now Jeff, what makes this story even more incredible is the fact that each and every single person above has one thing in common…
They all found out about the Product Launch Formula because of the incredible success story that spread throughout the world… all because of the contest winner: Me.
Jeff, I must admit, the timing is excellent for this contest. To be honest with you, I’ve actually put a few projects on hold because of your course! There is not one doubt in my mind that integrating your strategies along with what I’ve learned over the last few years will catapult my product and company launches beyond belief… even yours.
I’ve hosted my own launches in the past, with one generating over 30,000 prospects enrolled onto my website within just 30 days.
I’m not new to the launch game… but I know that I can learn more… a lot more.
So why do I need the course?
Because everything… and I mean everything I do or create will be launch-driven. I already understand the power of a launch. It’s what allowed me to earn more than I have ever earned in a year in one single month, which allowed me to become a full-time marketer and get out of the rat race.
All it took was a little (OK, a lot) of work and 30 days. That was two and a half years ago, and a full-time income still comes in every week without fail because of that one launch two and a half years ago.
Since then, I’ve hosted a few other launches. And I admit… I have a launch running right now that will end in December which I expect to be my biggest yet, especially with the Product Launch Formula in my hands.
But wait… there’s more…
The course will also allow me to fill in the missing pieces and enable me to generate over $1 million in sales with every launch I create, instead of just over $360,000 in sales in one day as I did with my first launch.
I also need the course because after I prove your product launch formula to the world, I’d approach you with “The BIG Launch Idea” that I’ve been working on for 18 months now. Maybe you’d be interested in a JV?
And on top of everything, I’m the marketing manager and copywriter for one of the top Internet Marketers in the world. I won’t disclose his name here, but when we talk, I will.
So what does working with an Internet Marketing guru have to do with this?
Well, after reviewing your formula, I’ll plug everything I learn into his business as well. There are some massive promotions, events, products, etc. that are being created for 2006. The Product Launch Formula will play a key roll in allowing us to have million dollar paydays not once, but multiple times next year.
And yes, I would be happy to get you connected with this marketer to talk about how the Product Launch integrates with his method of marketing.
You will be totally amazed to the point of complete shock once I share my idea on how the two of you can integrate both his methods and yours to create the “Next Generation Marketing Machine”.
Something of that magnitude will not only send shockwaves around the Internet Marketing community, but it will create tidal waves through thousands of other niche markets as well.
You’ll see.
To sum it up… I need the course to create an empire for myself, to explode the empire of the individual I work with, and to help you explode your business beyond comprehension.
Everyone wins.
Just think Jeff… all of this can be yours.
At this point, I’m sure you’ll agree that by selecting me as the winner, I’ll not only put the course into great use right away, but YOU will see both immediate and long-term effects and profits because of it.
It’s a win-win for everyone involved.
Just think about all of the lives we’ll impact. Just think about all of the businesses that we can help. Just think about what choosing me will do for your business both now and well into the future.
Jeff, here is your chance to take your business to a brand new, never before seen level. Here is your one chance to truly impact the lives of so many people. Let’s do this.
Together, we can launch a new world.

I’ve worked for years trying to put a business together that would allow me work from home so that I can be here for my sons. I’ve found success with a small custom cable manufacturing company that I work out of my garage. It pays the bills but it also takes a lot of time, which in a lot of ways, defeats the purpose of working from home. So I put together a website where I market kitchen wares, it’s done alright but could definately use a good kick start to Launch it properly. All this to say that I have a firm belief in the American Dream. You know, the one where every American has the right to be self sufficient. To own their own home as well as their own business. In fact I believe it is every red blooded americans responsibility to do so. Heck it’s the only way I’ve found to avoid getting raped by the tax man. To that end, I am in the process of assembling a website that will assist ANYONE in obtaining that objective. From individualized insperation, to making regular bank deposits. This site will guide individuals through an interactive process that an elementary school drop out could follow. As it stands right now I am missing only one link. Hence my need for the Product Launch Formula. I want to do this right the first time. And with your help, I firmly believe that we can help provide the public with the tools and information they need to start and grow their own opportunities and successes. As I see it, the best way to employ and improve the quality of life here at home.

Hi Jeff
Thanks for the opportunity mate.
I have spent the last year 3 years putting my entire message into a website that inspires others to be the best person they can be. I have spent in excess of $100000 on the website (and yes I know this is crazy) but the entire backend of the website has an amazing interactive program that helps people get from where they are in life to where they want to be, as well as all the other fancy bells and whistles. I am now at Launch stage and I have a real knowing that this website and my “Activate Your Life” message will have a huge impact on people to allow them to lead more empowering and fulfilling lives and being a big fan of your work i know that your course will really help me to leverage the website to launch it to millions of people. Once again i thank you for the opportunity and I really look forward to working with you in the near future. All the best from Australia mate and i look forward to hearing from you.
October 19th, 2005 at 1:59 am
I’ll tell you why I deserve the course but first let me tell you a story…
“Heres’ How 5 Years Of Persistence Will Finally Launch My First Product In 3 Weeks…”
From the age of 16 I knew this Internet thing had potential and the ability to help more people than ever possible face to face. The fact that people anywhere in the world can type in your domain name and see your message astonished me.
But sadly I fell for every “get rich quick” schemes and short cut people where promoting.
First I noticed that other sites were making $8000/month purely by Adsense campaigns, so I started bidding on adwords like “mesothelioma information” and “mesothelioma cancer” where advertisers were spending $80 per-click.
Using dad’s creditcard I was certain the Adsense links on my page would make me rich.
But how much did I make?
Zero.
Then I bought GoogleCash hoping to sell Clickbank infoproducts through adwords. Even though I was split testing ads and improving my copy I was only breaking even.
In addition to being naïve, I was also very unfocused.
I kept starting a project and suddenly abandoning it for another “breakthrough system” I just read. I was changing my business idea from affiliate marketing, to adsense, to portal sites, to ezines, to several underachiever name squeeze pages and even went as part as posting a job to be ghost written on Elance.com which I withdrew at the last minute.
But by the age of 17 I realized that a professional attitude towards Internet business is just as important as offline business.
“BUT IT WASN’T UNTIL I READ A CERTAIN ARTICLE THAT CHANGED MY BUSINESS FOREVER”
Here’s the passage from an article interviewing Yanik Silver that changed my life forever…
“And that brings me to another important point about
decisions - fail quickly. Don’t be afraid of failure. A
lot of people are so afraid of screwing up, or making a
mistake that they are forever frozen. Who the hell cares?
Screw up quickly! I screw up all the time. And you want
to fail quickly.
That’s the great part about the Internet. You want to go
out there and find out if your dumb idea is going to work
right away. You can do it in days instead of months.
Sometimes hours and if it doesn’t work, you move on. You
say, “Next!”
Look, I know a lot of people who are working on their
products for the last two, three, four years. Get the
damned thing out! You just make it better as you go
along.
Instant Sales Letters, our first product was not where it
is now. We’ve added a ton of stuff to it and made it
better. But I just wanted to see if the thing was going
to sell.
It wasn’t complete and utter rubbish, as my British
friends say, but it was enough that it made the point. It
found out if there was a marketplace for it. So find out.
I can show you 6 different ways to have your book done in
days. It’s a cop-out and complete B.S. Bottom line - make
the decision to get the product out there. See what
happens and fail quickly.”
Now get out there and do it!
- Yanik Silver
This paragraph made me realise I was afraid of failure. I changed my ways, was now full of annunciation and ready to succeed.
BUT SUCCESS WASN’T THAT EASY
Simultaneously, I dedicated much of these years to improving my success with women and dating. I decided to flood my experience into my net business. After writing my dating book and sales letter it was time to sell. (My girlfriend loves the book
I send 351 visitors and…
Nothing. No Sales.
After the disappointment I got my copy critiqued and boy did I get drilled. After realising everything was wrong with my copy I started to lack faith in my book. I couldn’t handle the frustration and pressure so I decided to…
START FROM SCRATCH
Long story short I’m finally getting my book proof read this week and have finished the first draft of my NEW sales letter. You can read it here:
http://www.dategreatgirls.com/prelaunch/
Since November 29th 2004 until this week I have written and made:
- 4 sales letters
- 3 versions of the book
- 44 backup CD’s with my progress
So you must be asking yourself how am I going to use “product launch formula”?
Well, in 3 weeks I plan to launch my first product after 5 years of trial and error. After the success of this book I plan to create backend products for customers.
I started this journey when I was 16 years old. Five years later I’m almost 20. As I look back now I realise the intense drive I had to succeed. (Heck, I got a Visa just to buy John Reese’s Traffic Secrets course when I only had $117 in the savings) My current success is all thanks to people such as John Reese, Jimmy D. Brown and especially Yanik Silver.
Whether I win or not I hope you enjoyed reading my story. This was the first opportunity for me to tell anyone my struggles and triumphs during my Internet marketing journey.
I hope this story inspires and makes you realise anyone can succeed no matter where you come from or how old you are.
“The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.”

Hello Jeff, Well unlike many of the earlier letters, I’m coming from the ground level up towards a higher level of marketing. Now that one has named his product, he’ll need special tools to get it out there and make it known. Given that I know many people who would like to advance along your lines, it will be great to expand your knowledge into this Asia belt starting from Australia. Thanks, Ian.
October 19th, 2005 at 2:17 am
Hi Jeff
I am amazed by the interest and frenzy you have created around the launching of this product. I also watched and even purchased Jason Potash’s recent product during his launch. What I am most excited about as I watch the way this is done with the ideas of social proof is the sincerity behind your actions and the over delivery of the products that are offered.
Too often what I see offered and I have purchased are just ways to get people’s money with out really giving them quality in the product. The idea too often has become get the money, who cares what the product is. Just get something out there and sell it. This is why I need your product. The way you market and produce products fits in perfectly with my belief system and the way I do business. I want to make money on what I have to offer but only if I am offering something that is really helpful to people and I always over deliver.
I have spent the last year developing hypnosis programs for issues such as weight loss, stop smoking, building success, and leadership development. I truly believe I am producing products that will be very useful to people and I truly believe I am good ( great!)at what I do. The problem is that I am not good at marketing and producing my products has been very time consuming so your product would be just what I need to get my products out to the people who could use them the most.
So, the two biggest problems I have right now are marketing skills and money. My husband was laid off two years ago and he is too young to retire but too old to get back into his field of expertise easily. Getting a free copy of your course could help me solve both of these problems.
I am sincere in my need to help people. I am sincere in my desire to learn and put into use great marketing skills. I am sincere in my desire to create the best products money can buy and to always over deliver. I am sincere in my desire to make all the money I can in an ethical and honest way. I believe in my ability to accomplish all of this if I am given the chance and I would be an excellent testimonial for you and your product.
Thanks for listening to me and I know your product launch will be a great success so Congratulations ahead of time.
Marsha, the next great product Launch expert!
October 19th, 2005 at 2:19 am
Jeff,
What a most interesting thing you have done here. It really is genius, the others (your guests from your Social Proof call) must be watching this blog grow, and they must all be smiling and saying, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
About myself; I’m an entrepreneur, running a business that is now going into the sixth year. While I will never lose the entrepreneurial spirit (my first business was at 12 years old), I have realized that I am going about this in the wrong way – far too many nights getting home after the kids are in bed, only to be up and get to work before the kids are awake. I could go on and one. Everyone here has stories of their tough luck or difficult past, as do I. However, I am not going to talk about the difficulty of the past; I am going to talk about the success of the future.
What will I do with your product? I’ve been developing a product for a niche market, and am within six weeks of launch (official launch date is December 1), so I have an immediate need. I have a very hungry market, with rabid people who spend money in this market. I do not have a list; I am starting from scratch. I do have a secret weapon that I will use during the launch, but that is not enough. My case study will be very valuable to you, I am starting with no Google ads, no list, but a great product and a great market. When it does well, you will have “Absolute Proof”(perhaps the name of your next course, one that we will create together) that your product took a zero-known product with no list and made that product a success. It is one thing to launch to a known list, it is another to launch without one. Success without the list is the proof.
Why should you choose me? As I mentioned before, we all have our own challenges, we all have our own obstacles to overcome, but I will not dwell on the past. You should choose me because I am so positive of my success, with your help, that I will offer YOU the guarantee. If you decide upon me, and I use your product as you recommend, and if I do not have success, I will pay you $2000. That’s right, I am so confident of my product and market, that with your course as the guidance for the product launch, failure is not an option. I extend my guarantee to you! Select me, and if I do not become the success story that I know I will become, I will pay you $2000. My name is here on the line; everyone can see it.

“Lions, And Tigers, and Bears, Oh My”
Jeff
Do you believe everything you hear?
Do you buy into conventional wisdom? Trusting your local newspaper for accuracy? The media for hiring fact finders?
Do you ever see a statistic and just let the seeds of wonder spring up….is it “true”?
Of course, you do, wonder, that is…..however else could you, an internet marketer of wild success, set yourself apart in a marketplace that is in rather tight quarters with competitors of every size, shape, and form, right?
Conventional wisdom, following the rules, climbing ladders, etc, is not always the best route when you are a seeker of success. It’s more often those who “jolt” the system that recreate the precious notion of conventional wisdom, now isn’t it? Am thinking the Einstein’s of our world…..creative and relentless.
Yet, living in a busy-busy-busy, info-info-info, now-now-now culture with such a motherload of information out there, even easily accessible, where oh where can we go to find what we need in a sleek package, and at the best price, of course?
The internet, right? Google this and Google that, even a potential date is likely to be Googled. All we could ever need…just a few finger taps, and left clicks away, with maybe an extra “back” click here and there. Now where is that print icon up there, uhm, yep, there it is. Print. Done. Suddenly an expert, yippee.
“Oh, no, Toto. Links, and sign-ups, and banners, oh my!”
The information superhighway, a.k.a., the yellow brick road (you are keeping up here, right?) Reread the last line.
Ok, so the yellow brick road (the internet) is widely toted as the savior to many a folk by breaking down the walls of the knowledge barrier. Entrepreneurs now having an easier path to stashes of cash. Fortune 500’s to establish more friendly client/customer relations. Students who need the cutting edge research paper. The list can go on and on and on and on and on…..geez…all our troubles just a few finger taps and clicks away.
The only trouble is you jump online, at least a bit less dizzying than the start of the tiny to larger circling of the yellow brick road, thanks to the techies who understand most of us are NOT techies….the only trouble is, when “on”, you get dozens, hundreds, even thousands of matches for a search. Even a targeted search can yield an hour worth of simply scanning headlines, right? And then to think that the bulk of people online are actually searching for relatively the same things (money, love, and happiness, essentially, right?), it can be almost disheartening the sheer amount of time many, many Americans, and Earthlings for that matter, are online reading headlines. Toss in the ads at the top, the ads down the margin, the pop-ups, and everything else…..and it is akin to wild animals preying on us, don’t you think?
The yellow brick road is no longer a pretty shining path, winding every so slightly through hills, woods, and flowers. It is rather a like a diamond mine….yellow diamonds, of course, scattered far and wide, waiting for us to recognize them and re-pave our path with their beauty (knowledge). We know in what general vicinity to look….Arkansas, Africa, I think….but we have to strap on our boots, pick up our tools, travel to the mine, and start getting dirty. Sifting through soils, pebbles, and rocks….and your heart may skip a bit of a beat at a shimmer, oh no, just a typical shiny rock like those from our youth. Then again, you know it, you do have one, a real diamond in the palm of your hand….it may be small, but it is the real thing….sparkles and all. One down, how many to go? Of course, that is an adventure to be determined by the particular miner. (I do say human nature, defies being satisfied with one little diamond though….think casinos, how many people do you know who the moment they are ahead, get up and walk out…..nope, they sit there and lose it, time and again.) Or, in the case of gems, how many women want just one diamond? Well, some, maybe, but come on…..the diamond business is pretty huge, right?
Alas, building an entire yellow brick road is a pretty big undertaking isn’t it? Almost enough to think, it just may not be worth right?
But wait, Dorothy wants to go home, the Tin Man would love a heart, the lion courage, and the scarecrow a real brain. Our homes, our loves, our hearts, our minds are on the line. We cannot give in….”We’re off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz….”, simply because we all know that life could be at least a bit better, probably lots better, for ourselves, and those we care for.
The hook of increased freedom (whether dollars, time, health, love, etc) dangling every so precariously on our own horizon has so very many of us, even the technically challenged, the anti-pcers, etc, pecking away for answers.
Am I being too dramatic?
Maybe so….not in the general population terms….if we are all doing it, then what is so terrible with it? But haven’t we progressed beyond junior high age thought processes? Knowing what is possible (just about anything, really) and knowing that it takes a bent against the normal to find your way in almost every single case should be reason enough to stretch just a bit of ourselves, shouldn’t it?
It is for me. And I have reason to believe it is for, oh, about 5 million other people just like me (it’s tough on the numbers thingy, statisticians, ugh)….but I am dreaming and planning on the VERY light side. That’s a lot of people now wouldn’t you agree?
Would they all want my product? Yes. Would they all buy it? Probably not.
I just want to make sure they all at least get the opportunity to buy. Their own yellow brick road tool set, you could say….and, no, the name has nothing to do with yellow brick roads…..but it might, as it is not yet completed…haha.
So you are probably wondering how I know they would want to buy, right?
Well, first, I live in this particular populations, and for about 6 years and 7 ½ months now (it’s been a perilous journey, so, yes, I am counting).
Secondly, I know lots of these people….I seem to be a magnet for them, actually.
And, finally, about a year ago, I began an ill-planned (sadly) strategy to help this bewildered population. After a tiny one line ad in a little local publishing (church bulletin actually), where people literally had to take this particular piece of paper home from the service, get online, and sign up, even giving away some rather personal information, I had 60 subscribers immediately. Oh yea, and I gave a little 3 minute speech about it to maybe 200 people or so, in addition to the ad. I still have people asking me what happened, to boot.
The initial offering bombed, but it had zip to do with internet anything; however, in asking my members repeatedly what they wanted, it was unanimously, hands down, across the board, this internet thingy that always came back to the “top desire” (I always asked for their top three “wishes”).
Since then I have been cramming my brain with market specific info. And, you know what, I found….
1. This market is not being helped at all. It is one search that reveals little. And what is out there is, well, no good, really. It’s either impractical, no meat to it, or somewhere in the middle.
2. The market is ignored, as I have come to find by interviewing people who one might think would be at least partially in the business of serving these people, and they always say, “I don’t know about that really”, or something similar.
3. The market is screaming for help!
What to do? What to do? What to do?
Then most recently I read that there are statistically (against conventional wisdom) 6 things these people should be doing to ensure their success, and their family’s success.
Two of the six, are practically genetic, so can’t really alter them.
The remaining four are rather simple, yet never focused on in the popular sense, although they are undoubtedly easier than where this population spends its’ energies.
Don’t you find that heartbreaking? I do. Such simple knowledge, widely available, but never promoted in a do-able manner.
Conventional wisdom is literally stealing their smiles, health, and wealth right out from underneath them.
Well, I think the market would be best served by a vertical portal, in the long run; however, at this time, a newsletter, eBooks and strongly suited affiliates will have to build the financial foundation for a true portal….yep, I’m a bootstrapper…no interest in VC and such.
So, now that I have filled your ears with much, I will give you the short version, ok?
My what is an extremely targeted and needing market of about 5 million, who will be served by me via information, including: newsletters, products, and affiliates.
My why is the 15 million or so people whose lives will be made easier and happier (that’s including their “average” children, again a light number….truly many, many more).
I simply cannot know what I do and not share it…..and I believe people need to at least know the truth. Then decide on their own whether repaving their yellow brick road is worth it, with my persuasion, of course, at full throttle.
You, Jeff, are obviously magnificently gifted in the arena of teaching and getting the word out…..that is my hope for my campaign, just “getting the word out”, and I like having trusted help in my pursuit. Wanna help?
Think about it, if just one more family, attains financial freedom and learns social truths, how great would that be? What about 10 families? 100 families? 1,000,000 families? More? Just from a good dose of, “And the truth shall set you free.”?
That is what wakes me up in the morning, and, just as often, keeps me up at night.
“With great power comes great responsibility.” Peter Parker’s (Spiderman) Uncle
Thanks for all you do, it’s one thing to be successful, it’s yet another to help others find their own….we are all very fortunate to know you.
The power to lift another is the only power that matters at all,

I’m currently in the depths of the HSC exams (Year 12 final exams in Australia)… so I haven’t had terribly much time to devote to business startups and developments, as well as marketing research etc.
Although I have been running a home-based computer business for approx the last 2 years: blueyeT systems (www.blueyet.com.au - although I never quite got around to finishing the site)
However in the past year or so I have really sprung into an entrpreneurial mind-set and have managed to devise upwards of 20 highly feasible ideas (mainly online-based). I have also partnered with a friend who is like-minded and also brought his ideas and input into the mix.
So after the exams are over we plan to startup a few of the most feasible ideas (and those with little startup capital required). We are both still planning to do a business degree at uni to assist us in our goals, however if one of the ideas takes off we will focus on it and defer uni.
I’ve been following your blog for about a week now after being directed to it from Yaro’s blog over at www.entrepreneurs-journey.com and the concept of an informational product launch has emphasised the prospects for a few related ideas I already had in mind and a few which I have brainstormed through inspiration from your blog.
Like most young entrepreneurs or budding entrepreneurs my age, money is a bit tight and would most likely restrict me from being able to purchase such an awesome package. However if we could access and learn the secrets and tips of the trade at our age I’m sure it would allow us to propel our businesses beyond the competition and lead successful business lives both in the near and distant future.

No long story here Jeff.
I’ve had my site up just short of 2 years, and
made pennies. $997 converts to about R6480, and
there’s no way I can afford to pay out that kind
of money.
As Forrest Gump said, “And that’s all I have to say
about that.”
Thanks and best regards.

Hey, Jeff. I have been marketing my ecommerce solution at www.instantestore.com for 4 years now. It never occurred to me that I should do a “launch” for the product (DUH!) until now. I always thought that launches are more suitable for new products or products like books, etc. I always thought (wrongly!) that I just have to continually market, not actually making it an event.
Of course, I know MUCH better now. As it is, we’re already doing pretty well. However, I am SURE we’ll do at least 10 times as well when I’ve learnt and put into action what you teach in your course.
Onwards to more impact and higher profits!
Thanks, Jeff.

It is like this contest is tailor made for me! Mr. Walker, I am mentally ill. For 5 years I have been told that I am medically unfit to work at anything even a McJob.
A person finds some of their identity and worth in being self supporting and making a contribution.
I will NEVER be able to return to offline sales and marketing that I did for over 3 decades. But by God In Heaven I can kick butt with Internet Marketing. I can’t follow a regular schedule. So what, I am typing this at 1:30 a.m. time is irrelevant on the Internet. I can’t punch a time clock and commute to a job site, so what I can make it to my desk and keyboard every day.
This is my hope, my way out, my future!
Mr. Walker and with your help or without I am going to make it work. I want to kick the insurance company in their testicles and tell them I am not disabled but self employed and they can shove their disability check.
Best of luck with this launch of yours, regardless if you help. I am used to people dismissing me and assuming I can’t do anything worthwhile. They’re wrong! I will prove it by the grace of God.
P.S. I have 8 ebooks written and ready to go.

I need this course to become successful and give happiness to my parents in their old age.
October 19th, 2005 at 4:56 am
Jeff,
Do you want the truth as to why?
Well I’ll keep this short and not
try any cute salesmanship or copywriting
gems to persuade you - as you may be expecting.
Instead… I’ll spill my guts
Why do I need this? I’ll be deadly honest…
#1 - Because I have two children who rely on me
who I am letting down to some degree. There’s a gap
between my big mouth promises (goals) and my actual
results and I need your help.
#2 - Because when my Dad was told he had 6 months
to live, I made a promise to myself (he didn’t know
this) to buy him a new car. Boy, this is hard to say.
You see, years ago when I first heard the doctors
prediction for my Dad, I resolved to write the kind of
book that would save his life. When you see the spirit of someone crushed out of them in a few short words you can make some strong decisions.
I learned when you want something bad enough you
make it happen. Sometimes failure really is not an
option.
Even when a computer blows up and you lose 200
pages. You cannot give up.
Even after you start again and get a laptop stolen and
lose another 180 completed pages. You cannot quit.
I finished the book and was even able to get Mark
Victor Hansen to endorse it. I was able to get John
Kanary to write the introduction to it.
Best of all, I finished the book that saved my Dad’s
life. Last week he turned 60. He is still not well. We
don’t know how long he has. But I know one thing…
I have unfinished business. Whilst the book is getting
great reviews is not getting enough sales to surprise
my Dad with his car.
He succeeded and made it to his 60th and I feel like I
let the Team down.
So when you ask, “WHAT will I do with your
program?”
My answer is “Finish what I started”.
I will use your program to launch this book into the
US. I will use this book to create the income to buy my
Dad a new car. 30 years of illness and only glimpses of
pleasure – he deserves better.
What will I do next? I will then come and visit you to
say “Thanks” in person. Buy you a beer, reminisce for
a minute and then get on with the next project. Maybe
even with you – who knows?
That’s why I want this and what I will do with it.
Thanks for the opportunity,
Scott Groves

Having only just started on the adventure that is marketing on the internet I have taken the plunge with my first website together with a trusted friend.
Having read several books on the topic and having spent cash we do not have we are still none the wiser as to the exact formaula to use when planning a product launch.
We would use the fomuala to successfuly launch our first online venture, which we are currently setting up.
It is our long term aim to help those that are less fortunate than ourselves, and I truly believe this coure would help us take a big step towards our ultimate aim.
P.S. Great stuff on “social proof” Jeff, I was truly inspired. Cheers!

Hi Jeff,
Thanks a lot for your generous offer and making us
think about these great questions.
This might even be the greatest reward of this
contest already for us all, i.e. participating in
this blog thread and writing down our answers,
whatever the issue of the contest.
Back to the future, my answers to your questions…
There’s no valid reason I could tell you WHY I
*need* this course. As a matter of fact, nobody
needs any course whatsoever because we all have
the same resources at our disposal.
However, the only true and valid reason WHY for
owning this or any course is because we *want* to
- shorten our learning curve
- speed up our wealth building and share our
prosperity with our loved ones
- seek out, set up JV’s and help other worthwile
entrepreneurs to do the same
through putting into practice the strategies and
tactics exposed in this course.
These are my intentions and WHAT I’m going to use
this course for.
The HOW part will figure itself out while in
action.
Wishing you a funtastic product launch and thanks
for all that you do.
All the best to the contest winner!

Hi Jeff,
What an awesome offer and what incredible timing. I have been marketing on the internet for years now and have read so many books… most talk about creating products, but never actually give you instructions on getting your product offer in front of as many people as possible.
I am so excited about your course. I am about to release two new products at the end of this month and have been trying to assess the best way to reach the masses with these offers.
I want to reach as many people as possible because both these products would allow ordinary individuls the opportunity to start their own business with very little capital and be earning a residual income very quickly. I know form personal experience how quickly you can lose your shirt when try to get started in the internet marketing world.
A copy of your product would allow me to help so many more people because I truly believe it would give me the necessay tools to reach the masses.
Best Regards,

Hi Jeff.
I have been following the Prelaunch stages of this course and am very excited about it. Like some before me here said, information is in no shortage around the net. If I need to explain why receiving your course for free would help me, I could truly say it is very simple: within the next month, I will turn some of my ideas into reality. Included in these ideas is a membership site which will simplify the whole issue of information overload. at this time in my life, before returning to studying and with a mother fighting cancer, I can use all the profits I can achieve. And like many others, I cannot afford the course on my current income. (I am blind and, since I have no job at the moment, I am living on Social Security.) So basically, my answer is that I believe your course could arm me with more techniques to make my dream come true in a short time: to be able to create a successful business for myself on the internet and get off the Social Security “payroll” forever!
Warmly,
Tali Sarnetzky

Hi Jeff,
As of last week, I’m under notice to leave from my present job till end of 2005.
That’s not bad.
That’s rather good!
I’d say this is extremely positive - exactly the way I should have acted, but didn’t have the guts to.
This puts me on railroad tracks, not inching away sideways, just moving forward, gaining speed:
- Having time for breathing in the life on this planet
- Helping my friends having a good time and touching their dreams
- Helping the earth’s children to learn in an environment they love and like, learning what’s truly essential in life, sucking in stories from people they trust and admire, not wasting time on the crap fed by most traditional educational systems.
This new type of school will be based on mentoring, not teaching. Will be fun, not work. Will be bright energy, not poor suffering.
My 40 year goal includes having established this new type of mentoring all over the world, and having saved 10.000 square miles of wilderness from destruction, as a gift for all the children on our planet.
I’m lucky to have gotten this little cancelation push from heavens, now having time to purely pursue my vision, ready to act, setting every little step in that ONE single direction of leaving a valuable legacy for our future generations.
Thank you, Jeff, for having already contributed your share to our world’s benefit!

Do you want to be associated with a new venture that plans to generate over $500,000 per day (Yes, that’s half a million) within 6 months of it’s launch date?
If you do, pick me.

Hello Jeff,
first of all I wanted to thank you for helping me, as well as everybody else, with your tips and also for giving a chance to everybody to get your course at this incredible offer.
I am a university student in Italy, at the University of Florence, and am studying Business Economics and Administration. I will tell you, the university doesn’t teach these amazing tips that you, as well as other great marketers on the internet, teach; of course I am learning an incredible other amount of things that I also want to know, but none of them are as direct and practical as the things I am learning on my own through the internet with newsletters, ebooks, etc.
Why I need this course? I need it because I want to start my own business on the internet. I am applying to some affiliate businesses but I have very little time to dedicate myself to them because of university; let’s be honest, I know that to make the big bucks I need my own product but don’t know where to start.
I am sure that the closer I get to the end of my college carreer, the more time I have to put all that I’m learning to good use and apply it to start my business.
I probably don’t qualify for this contest, but I wanted to give it a shot instead of saying “what if…”; you, of course, are the only judge to that.
I put myself in your hands.
Sincerely,
Ahres
October 19th, 2005 at 6:41 am
Jeff,
Thanks for this special offer.
Why do I need the course? Well Jeff, I am from Nigeria, a nation known for various nefarious activities online. When I got to know about the Internet in 2003, I promised myself I will learn all I need to learn in order to make a honest living online. I have been a member of several forums and subscribed to so many newsletters.
This has led me to discover my niche online and start my website. The call was an eye opener to me and I have even made up my mind to get the course not minding the cost or the lenght of time it will take me to gather the money. I started with a low budget Jeff, and my online is about a month and a week old. Since I have the intention of launching several products, I believe this course will do a lot of good for me.
I do hope to get this course Jeff but if I can’t, I will still be grateful to you. I learnt so much from the Call and will be implementing them SOON.
Thanks

Hi Jeff,
I’ve been following the build up to your product launch. I think what all Internet marketers are witnessing here is a significant development which will set a precedent for major product launches in the future.
I am hoping that winning your contest will put a golden opportunity in my hands which will shorten my own ground breaking website :
www.??????.com
Ultimately, you guys just have to wait for its launch, but its coming your way….
Regards,
Bob
October 19th, 2005 at 8:31 am
Why do you need this product? Because unless you launch the ship or take off in the plane,you are not going anywhere.If you limp in with your ” I-have-one too product ” you become another brilliant failure.
You need all the help you can summon at the beginning.A good launch will create more than enough momentum to keep you going over the rough spots.Think of the preparation you do to make a trip;prepping the car,buying tickets,getting money from the bank etc,etc.Launching your product successfully is no different and a lot more important.That,s why you should get this product and do a relaunch or take a great first step.

Hi Jeff,
I used your social proof concept without knowing what it really
is to make $10,043 USD in the first three days of my private
Resale Rights campaign. This was my first shot and I had no
idea what was going on until I listened in on your recent
teleseminar.
See the Proof from the link below:

Hi Jeff, I really need this course! I am having my site redesigned and will be releasing it Nov. 1. I plan to make a big launch to some knife users at that time. I have been trying to get this site of the ground for almost a year, and need to use a different approach. I also have a brandnew site re GPS equipment and will need to do something with it. I will be putting up mini-sites from time to time, and the launch approach certainly will be the way to proceed. I have one that is about a month away from being ready. In addition, I am working on a book, and can certainly use your knowledge in making it successful. I am retired and need my ideas to pay off, but I really want them to pay off so that I can donate money to a number of causes that I support. Thank you for your consideration of my entry.

October 19th, 2005 at 9:30 am
Jeff,
You have my attention – hopefully I can get yours. This is a popular topic.
Why your system?
1) To achieve my life purpose of making a difference in the lives of at least 75 million people worldwide before end 2008. The goal was chosen because that is how many ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’ books have been sold to date.
2) To provide a lucrative, easy to promote affiliate program to struggling Internet Marketers who have no new products to promote (almost everything online today is rehashed, and we’re all tired of it).
3) To provide a mechanism for you to achieve your self-actualization and self-transcendence needs.
What will your system be used for?
To quickly give away 75 million copies of a book called ‘Fresh Wisdom – Breakthrough to Enlightenment’. It exposes the lies we have been forced to accept in 5 key areas:
Health & Longevity
Love, Marriage and Relationships
Spirituality & Religion
Personal Sovereignty and Individual Freedom
Independent Wealth Creation
The book ends with an exercise on defining one’s Life Purpose, using a totally new paradigm (way of looking at life).
The book is provided free in 16 separate downloads sent 1 week apart. It is also available for purchase as a single download or hardcopy. We currently have 23 backend products with more being aggressively developed. They range in price from $7 to $150,000 with a 50% commission on all but the top end product, for which we pay a flat finders fee. The affiliate program has been designed to leverage the well-intentioned efforts of new Internet Marketers who are struggling to find useful content to sell. All they have to do is give away the free book.
The 16 weeks is used to build the client relationship and establish trust and credibility. The controversial yet easy to read book constantly references the backend products with appropriate teasers. Since this is a brand new service we don’t know the lifetime value of each subscriber, but we conservatively estimate it at $4,000 over 10 years, assuming no-one purchases the top-end product.
Over the past 6 months we have been testing the book with 2,000 subscribers. Unbelievably only 1 subscriber has unsubscribed. The testimonials are enough to bring tears to a grown man’s eyes. All who have seen it agree that this is life-changing material at a time when the world needs it most.
My Story
In June 2004 I left full-time employment to spend 6 months traveling through the pristine beauty of Thailand and Malaysia’s islands. After numerous deeply profound epiphanies, I wrote in 24 hours (using a pen name) ‘How to Find the Purpose of Your Life’. As a result of the epiphanies, I started writing ‘Fresh Wisdom’ in January this year and launched the test in July. The physical book is currently being prepared by Amazon’s self publishing company, BookSurge, ready for a Christmas launch.
My Internet experience is enough to tell me that all is not as it seems in the world. (You can find me in the No. 1 Google position for ‘world war 3′.) The writing is on the wall that we are entering a time of great upheaval, perhaps as early as 2006, perhaps as late as 2012. The historical average for societies to move from total freedom to total lockdown is 7 years. The US clock started ticking on September 11, 2001.
The world needs us, Jeff.
Michael Haupt
Selected Edited Testimonials (for the free material – we don’t yet have for any of the saleable products)
“I am absolutely stunned by what I have read so far. Although some things I have read from other sources, lots of other things are totally new. Yet as I read it I know instinctively that every word is true. Other things I think I secretly already knew, but could not bring myself to admit before. My eyes (and mind) are becoming clearer with each issue. Like a fog lifting. Many thanks for everything and especially for making this information free to all.”
“If what is spoken about is true, then its brave founders, have, knowingly put themselves at considerable risk to a world that is going down a path of no return. For no Government likes to hear the truth.”
“… This inherently demonstrates the honesty that is automatically built into Fresh Wisdom from its founding as a ‘self checking’ mechanism unlike any other organization I have known. ‘Well-off’ free people (so to speak) don’t normally volunteer their free time to become involved in organizations such as this without very good reasons. That reason for me is truth, honesty, justice, morality and a deep sense of responsibility towards the well being of our earth.”
“Fresh Wisdom shows you pathways how to enrich your love life, survive and be wealthy, protect, guidance, learn truths, love and be free to participate in life with a renewed passion unlike anything you will have witnessed before.”
“Fresh Wisdom is like taking both the blue pill and the red pill at the same time.”
“I feel that I am now being equipped to cope with the world’s misinformation machine (mass-media) and misguided value system, among other “mis”-concepts we are bombarded with every day.”
“As near as I can discern, you have effectively learned how to step outside this anti-civilization bubble where everyone is being pushed from side to side, never knowing what is going on, or who is pulling the strings, and view it from outside the bubble looking in.”
“Be prepared to have you paradigm challenged, but stick with it. Don’t overanalyze, and don’t be concerned about things you don’t understand immediately. Stick with it to the conclusion and the pieces of the puzzle should snap into place.”
“This seminar provides a ’sound bite’ approach on some fundamental deceptions and delusions. For the uninitiated, it hits hard (probably the only way to get attention) and should provide much food for thought.”
“I’m at the cross-roads of my life and I can tell you without mincing words that, your seminars are a REAL MIND-BLOWER.”
“I’ve been surprised by the quality of your seminars and the clarity of thoughts regarding the current state of the world.”
October 19th, 2005 at 9:31 am
There are millions of people out there who are outstanding at what they do, who have a specific area of expertise and a burning desire to share their knowledge with others.
People whose lives have been spent gathering knowledge in a specific area, honing their skills and talents to perfection.
People who do what they love and love what they do, and who now want to pass on that love to future generations.
Many of these people have found an outlet for their creative passions, a way to turn their obsession into a life-sustaining art, a paying hobby. Some have found ways of generating income off-line, others are already using the Internet to promote themselves and increase their credibility and status as ‘experts’.
Some of these ‘experts can be found at PayingHobby.com. But here’s the rub.
The vast majority of this talent, this knowledge, this pool of human resources, is in danger of being lost to the world forever. And much of what’s ‘preserved’ in the form of e-courses or e-books, or free downloads, or even membership sites, may as well be lost, it’s so deeply burried beneath and behind the detritus of ‘me too’ marketing.
Somewhere in amongst the hype and the spam, there are gems. Sources of real valuable information, which deserved to reach a wider audience, and be received as hungrily and as despereately as your product launch formula has been.
PayingHobby.com will become a beacon for those experts who want to shine the light of their precious knowledge to show the way for the upcoming, eager to learn novice.
Time after time, product after product, success after success, expert after expert will dance for joy that they were able to reach out to those who needed their knowledge, and will sing the praises of Jeff Walker’s product launch formula that enabled Gail Seymour at www.payinghobby.com to take them through the steps of creating, positioning and promoting their product.
There are many deserving cases here, but how can you, Jeff Walker, help the greatest number off them? By helping one who will help himself? By helping one who will help many others? Or by helping one who will help many others to help many others?
You decide.
October 19th, 2005 at 9:36 am
Hi Jeff,
I have not launched any products of my own but am planning one at the moment. It is a niche product in the leisure industry and i am hoping to launch it next year in early spring. I know that it is a way off but i want to do it right.
I have a site related to my niche which gives away a free ecourse and i have about 600 subscribers and get about 3 to 4 new subscribers each day.
WHY: Well i need the Product Launch Formula to really guide me along the way to making a launch that has a high level of anticipation. I know this is what Frank Kern did with his recent launch. I also know i need to give a lot of value before i launch the product and i think you could help here.
WHAT: My product contains 4-6 products in one, all with a progressively higher price.
The real thing that is going to work in my favour is that i am trying to get 10 of the very best experts in the world in this niche to JV with me and I already have 4 of them commited. This is probably the most exciting part because it will give my product fantastic recognition.
I have a couple of other ideas which i cannot disclose but you probably get the idea.
I look forward to the result on Thursday
All the best

Hey Jeff,
149 comments to this post already. Just awesome. Jeff, I have done something slighly different. Rather than just post a comment I have made a very short video telling you why I need the course and how I am going to use it.

Hi Jeff,
First I want to thank you for all you have taught me so far. I know you don’t know me but you have been a huge help to me. Social Proof was excellent, a superb learning tool.
I would like to be considered for the free copy of your Product Launch Course. The main reason is I simply can’t afford to buy it. I would love to learn more from you but my finances are such that it will be impossible for me to make that purchase.
I am a very fast learner and a very hard worker.
I started a new website on September 26, 2005. On October 1, 2005 I had 2 hits on this site. I think one of them was me and one was my daughter. Using free information I was able to find on the internet, I have been working hard to build more traffic. Yesterday, October 18, I had 80 hits. My site is indexed on Google in 3 weeks time.
I know these numbers are small for many people but I feel I have accomplished a lot in a short time. Being one person, I have not only built this traffic, I also built a 200+ page, content rich, website in the process. I put in between 14 and 16 hours each day.
I am starving for more information and search everyday for more tips and strategies.
I know this course will be the big event in my life if you decide to choose me.
Thanks for your consideration,
Margaret Albright

Jeff,
The toughest job in marketing is to sell a new product to people who don’t know you. Your “social proof” conference call demonstrated that your whole course is a lesson in the critical skill of building “know, like & trust.”
On your call, Jim Edwards talked about taking a position that people may not agree with, because when you create controversy, you have the opportunity to rivet people’s attention. And that’s the purpose of my new hardcopy book, “Evil Medicine.”
There’s a joke around the drug companies that when you’re doing a clinical trial, there are two possible disasters. The first disaster is if you kill people. The second disaster is if you cure them. The truly good drugs are the ones you can use chronically for a long, long time.
Did you know that Americans eat 3 BILLION prescriptions a year - and every single pill depletes precious nutrients from your body? If you are taking prescription or over-the-counter drugs and you aren’t supplementing, your health is deteriorating … whether you see it yet or not.
“Evil Medicine”, will fill you in on the details. The writing will be complete Oct 31st. Meanwhile, here’s the Table of Contents:
1 – Introduction: “Where is Clint Eastwood When You Need Him?”
2 – 1992: It Started With AIDS
3 – The Chinese Finger Prison
4 – 1997: “The Perfect Storm!”
5 – Lucille’s Story
6 – “Camels Are Smooth – And They Taste Great, Too!”
7 – How Your Body Really Works
8 – Why Your Body Has Problems
9 – How Did We Get In This Mess?
10 – The Minor Role of Medicine In Your Health
11 – You May As Well Use Cocaine
12 – Drugs Cannot Fool Your Body
13 – More Evidence Against Prescription Drugs
14 – Drug-Caused Nutrient Deficiencies
15 – The Vioxx Story

My target market is the 2/3 of the American public who take prescription or over-the-counter drugs. These are people who want their health back … but they don’t realize they are getting farther away from health with each pill they take. “Evil Medicine,” with scrupulous documentation, will educate them.
Event-Management Services (http://www.Event-Management.com/) will be scheduling me for 3 to 4 radio interviews a week. We’ll sell books from the interviews.
We have a back-end. Bookbuyers will also receive a promo package I wrote for a high-quality, full-spectrum nutritional supplement, which they will want to have in order to offset the nutrient depletion caused by the prescription drugs they’re taking.
Sending me a free copy of your course is a good deal for you because you’ll be able to leverage publicity from a controversial book with a large target market.
Sure beats getting flattened by a beer truck.
I appreciate you, Jeff!

Hi Jeff
If you’re looking for an amazing story to add to your marketing arsenal to “Gold Door” guarantee you blow your six in seven goal through the roof again - this is the story you’ve been anxiously waiting for.
What I’m about to tell you is a true story that you can whip out over and over again for years to come - to keep your customers, prospects, listeners, readers and EVEN THOSE marketing guru friends of yours hanging on your every word.
It’s an unbelieveable story of challenges and karma. Let’s start with the challenges.
You see I’m not from USA, Canada, Europe, Australia or any major continent or country. Actually if you’d look on your atlas you’d have great difficulty in finding my country. That’s because it’s smaller than a dot.
Yes I’m writing you from the blistering hot island in the Caribbean - Barbados. And today we had a great mixture of sweltering sun and pounding rain beating down on my galvanize roof.
You’re probably interested to hear more about my tropical “paradise”, but rather I’m going to tell you what it’s like being a Bajan entrepreneur and why I want the free copy of your Product Launch Formula product.
FYI: Bajan is a term used for persons from Barbados.
Being a young 22 yr old Bajan entrepreneur, especially an entrepreneur based on the Internet, has a long list of challenges normally not faced by a continental. I’m not one for whining and complaing but I want you to really understand why I want your Product Launch Formula.
Here are some of my small challenges
High speed internet just became available about 5 months ago and is very costly, to send money internationally I must personally visit the government office each time to seek permission and taxes oh the ridiculous taxes.
(Now it’s not all bad, it definitely has it’s ups - like going to the beach for lunch, on a good day)
I’m always looking to learn and invest in myself (hence why I’m interested in your product - and why I’m on your list and on many other’s list) but they are serious obstacles currently blocking me from doing so. Earlier this year in June, I don’t remember the exact date I went to the US Embassy here to get a jolly ole US Visa so I could attend some marketing seminars in USA this year. After a full day’s visit at the good ole embassy and paying my full visa deposit - I was denied my visa. For what reason?
Basically it was a luck of the draw of the window. I got the BAAADDD window. Noone who went to the BAD window - received their visa. It was the wrecthed window #11. The man behind the window would just look down at your papers and say ‘Sorry I can’t offer you a visa today’. One after the other - without fail - ‘Sorry I can’t offer you a visa today’. Then it was my turn. And it was no different. Meanwhile all persons at window #1 - got a visa easily. My neighbour went to window #1 and she received a spanking new 10 year visa. 10 years
Don’t worry, I’m gonna finish up quickly (I have work to do too!)
Why I Should Win?
Reason #1 - I can’t attend any marketing seminars because I’m not allowed in USA - yet
Reason #2 - I can’t use teleseminars and telecoaching services unless they’re archived. Which you so kindly did. Thanks.
Why not? Sitting down on a 1 to 3 hr overseas call to USA is pretty much financial suicide from Barbados. I will be implementing skype onto my PC (as soon as my credit card is un-maxed) so I can start telecoaching at realistic phone rates.
Reason #3 - I rely on the info products to learn and re-invest in myself - since I can’t be in USA live in person with my mentors, nor I can’t be on the phone with them yet. I rely on all the internet info published and available for purchase online or via fax.
Is this all conicidence or is it good karma?
I revisted your sixinseven emails because I was re-reading John Reese’s million day special report. I found it in February 2005, and that was my first introduction to the World of strategic online marketing, abundance and overdelivering. In it he talks about you as a smart guy or a genius - some proud comment like that. And I remembered I liked your sixinseven emails and they just suddenly stopped after like #7 or #8. And I re-subscribed incase there was an error with my subscription. So I printed them off and I decided to read your advice closely.
Then this product launch campaign began and I was saying - “There he is again. That Jeff Walker wiz.” And I decided I was going to format my service re-launch around your launch especially with the blog and email strategy - which seems remarkable. I will tell you how I started carrying out your strategy below.
Then today, I was reading Michael Kimble’s blog as a breather in between work (while listening to Michel Fortin’s and John Carlon’s ‘boost your response’ telecall mp3 - like I said I’m always looking to learn) and one blog said - ‘take a break’ because great things will happen when you take a break from work, let your brain rest and rebuild. So I did. Decided to look through all my backed up emails and saw your - win a free Product Launch Formula. And here I am…seeing if my break will result in great things
From your lessons of providing free valueable, useful info and building relationships. And John Reese’s constant messages of overdelivering, delivering tremendous value and sacrificing early profits (which you practice and underlines your teachings). I have learnt tremendous amounts from you two alone. And have planned my 2 (inter-connected) businesses around these strategies and have gradually implemented them into my 2 businesses. (this I also practice - learnt from both you and John - gradual improvement over time.)
I believe I’m your top candidate that will undoubtedly most appreciate and benefit from your one time offer. Not to mention I’ll USE your step-by-step guide for you to be proud of.
For 1 year and 2 months I have been providing for FREE a very useful and enjoyable service to my market. Which is definitely one of your lessons from sixinseven. But I was failing in one area - I wasn’t strategically collecting the email addresses and building relationships in one of my 2 businessess. I learnt that from you and I am now constantly improving on it. Not just to collect emails, but to build relationships. The key is the relationship.
Well let me be completely open with you: I was offering on of my initial services for free for one year plus. Now I’m almost broke with a maxed out credit card. So all my service providers on my credit card except the web hosting - which is prepaid. Pulled the plug on me. So I had no more service to offer. And I remembered your words - something like - even if you don’t have a product or service - you need to collect emails, build relationships with them, ask them want they want and deliver it to them.
Well that’s what I’ve been doing except the deliver it to them part. A few days ago, I made the collecting the emails more formalized with an opt-in form to an autoresponder. Before that, I built relationships with persons who chose to contact me with compliments, suggestions, responses to my published questions and complaints. From these persons I have a list of suggesstions and requests for additional services and products. Needless to say - the formalized opt-in form is working like a charm. I can’t wait to improve it and test different opt-in offers. I’m currently overdelivering on the opt-in backend.
In general, I’ve been implementing strategies that I’ve been learning from the 3 info-products that I’ve already gladly invested in and all the free info published on web sites and emails. I’m seeing gradually increasing results and returns already in less than 1 year of online business. And I see my vision becoming a reality as I continue to increase and practice my skills. It’s really an amazing feeling - which I’m sure you can appreciate and understand. And I’m overwhelmed to see myself gradually building my own empire over all the challenges I face, big and small. Myself being the biggest one of all.
My next move is to re-launch the service with a free ad-based option and a premium paid service option.
Now I would gladly follow your Product Launch Formula strategy to re-launch my core service that the small niche market enjoys, and launch each new product and service on my list (and the new ones added by their request).
You may see proof of the above by visiting the domain of my email address.
You don’t want me to be the guy who wins your free product and don’t use it. Neither do I. I want to be the AWESOME young man from the lil dot island Barbados that you sent one complementary product to - and he dominated his market and ripped up his competition so much, that you can’t give up the opportunity to talk about him.
I look forward to be “the AWESOME guy from Barbados who spends most of his time relaxing on the beach when he’s not planning his new quarterly product/service launch campaign with your proven system” in one of your stories in your emails and on teleseminars. If he can “do it” from lil Barbados - you can too. And I say “Yea - that’s me DAMN IT!”.
I really wanna rip in my market and be the KING - with the guidance of your proven step by step system.
If my story wins you over and I get the free Product Launch formula - fantastic! It’d be amazing if it also lead to a closer relationship / mentorship with you
And if I don’t win your step-by-step guide I will still purchase it, eventually when I’ve earned the capital to invest.
This was not a story of a lost miserable sheep looking for a hand out. This is my true story of why I’d appreciate a free copy of your product launch system, how I’ve been recently entrepreneuring and how I’d use your product launch guide day in and day out for the forces of GOOD.
Thanks for listening to my story and thanks for the opportunity. It’s greatly appreciated.
Richard
P.S. Why I want my Product Formula Launch FREE? Quite simple. It’s FREE and I’m almost broke. Overdraft bank accounts! A Maxed out Credit Card! And one dwinlding local bank account balance that can only afford to pay the custom taxes and duties for the product being delivered to me. That’s right - for EVERY info product I receive - I gotta pay an additional 64% of it in taxes to the goverment - right there and then at the post office. Sixty-four percent! So I pay 164% for every info product. Can you see how you can help me Jeff by sending me your product FREE! So for once I only pay 64% and not 164%. Thanks
P.S.S. I was tempted to finish my story without telling you this part. I was hearing whispers that my response was already too long. But if I’ve learnt anything - it’s to tell the entire story and to say what you must say. So here goes…
My field or industry is a very niche industry - it’s not any online marketing field. It’s a “normal people” niche just like you recommend esp. for new entrepreneurs. The problem is that it’s plagued with poor service providers and poor marketers. Which is a great opportunity for me. I don’t even want to be a victim of such a poor reputation, and I’m confident I won’t.
Because of this poor standard some prospects will be synical and skeptic because of the poor experiences they are accustom to. Your proven step-by-step guide will aid me in converting them into customers early in the launch process and more importantly help me - in MASTERING the science of marketing and making money by providing tremendous value to persons time and time again.
This is also your chance, probably one in a million, to build a personal relationship with a young and rising entrepreneur in a rare paradise island called Barbados working in a unique Caribbean niche that you can always use in stories to stand out as different and draw attention & interest to yourself and your product.
I’m excited to receive your product launch system and start implementing it into my plans. Your timing couldn’t be anymore perfect.

Greetings,
Your offer was just too tempting Jeff! Let’s face it, I’m a freakin’ ‘DUMMY’, in the ‘nerdy’ sense that is. Yes all these website & mktg. details are what I call my ‘Techno-Speed-Bump’!!! I’m on the path to market my own product that has recently landed in my lap. I been doing PC-ART in the ‘collage-style’ for
almost 10yrs. Presently I’m ramping up my 10day Course
w/a full marketing campaign intended. Do I know how to
do it, NO. Do I have tons of ebooks, courses & articles etc., YES. Do I have a website, NO. Do I need
help, ya think?? So Jeff, at this point anything to
move these efforts forward are more than welcome. To

Hello Jeff,
First, I want to comment that you have really piqued my interest. That is remarkable considering I have no spare time to “waste” even reading my emails. I spent two hours on your social proof call. I am intrigued by your process: how you network and the “new” ideas that are being used with success.
I want to be a part of this endever, and forsee unimaginable results. I know my dreams will come true, and now I believe I have found the vehicle to acheive them (your product). My background is that I had a “good job” while everyone was being outsourced and knew that would not happen to me. Well, it did. I started a family late in life and have little resources to keep us going. I started a business that I just knew every business owner would love. With my background being anything but sales, I feel like a fish out of water. I know I’ll eventually get it; but with your product, the learning curve will be greatly reduced.
I have read many of the other submissions and they all deserve the free “Product Launch Formula”. You’ve got a tough job ahead of you.
I am going to use the “Product Launch Formula” to promote a service that 80% of high-risk small businesses need. It is a huge need in our country. Even the government is at a loss with what measures to take in conquering this problem. A huge burden has been placed on my company to make a difference. There are only 19 other companies in the U.S. that provide this type of service. With our help, an understandable system could erupt and our voice be heard by the insurance industry.
All of the best to you!

Hi Jeff,
Reasons why you should let me try out your product launch formula:
1.I just launched my e-book product at www.instantmusclegain.com for the bodybuilding niche. You can check out my e-book at www.instantmusclegain.com/Order.html which I wrote from scratch (Anyone on this blog can download a free copy too, just please don’t go spreading it around.) So far, I have only sold a measly 3 e-books using google ads and writing a few articles (My version of a product launch.) I would like to see (and report) the before-and-after results of your way to do a product launch.
2. I have written 3 e-books in the bodybuilding niche and have no problem with converting prospects (I sold the rights of the 2 other e-books to a couple of websites for $2,000 and $1,500 and they are still selling about 1,000 copies a year with very little promotion) This means the results from the product launch would be solely responsible for any dramatic results of my new e-book.
3.One of the biggest problems I have had in the past was a lack of exploiting my products fully. This is one of the reasons I sold off the rights to my earlier works. I am highly motivated to try your formula (down to the last detail!), so you don’t have to worry about whether or not you’re “wasting a copy” of your product on some one who is just “information curious”.
4.I firmly believe in recording the actions I take and the results of these actions. In fact, I have a whole chapter in my e-book on this particular concept. This means by using your product I will produce mountains of “real world proof” your product formula launch really works.
Thanks,
Bryan Kernan
P.S. I will be happy to pay the full price of the course once it “pays for itself”. Thanks Jeff for everything you’ve already taught me!

Great Idea! I can appreciate that you provide an avenue for the entrepreneur with limited resources to compete for the offer Free.
As we know most things are never free, we earn it one way or another. Entrepreneurism is a Blood Sport. I have been one for over 30 years, first developing software for stock trading analysis, and then marketing it to everyone on Wall Street. I need your Product Launch Formula because I am a neophyte when it comes to selling indirectly or through the web. I am the old school “cold caller”, pick a building, walk in and introduce myself, and build a relationship directly. I’ve done it thousands of times. I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, move myself to Manhattan and cold called the world’s elite up and down Park Avenue and on Wall Street. I sold Dow Jones & Company (publisher of The Wall Street Journal) on adding my Innovest Opinions to their offering of stock quotes and news stories on their DowPhone interactive audiotext service back in 1981, I sold E.F.Hutton & Company on providing their 5,500 stockbrokers with the Innovest daily opinion reports on over 6,000 companies, and they used the service for 15 years, all the way to becoming Smith Barney. You might remember E.F.Hutton’s slogan “When E.F. Hutton speaks, people listen.”, well their research department only followed 300 companies. If you got an investment opinion for one of their brokers on any of 6,000 stocks it was my software application that analyzed and wrote the opinion you got, daily. I sold Fidelity, IBM Pension fund, Banker Trust, Union Carbide, and many other investment manager the service to help them manage their investments.
But, when it comes to offering these same research capabilities to individual investors who are online and managing their own portfolios, I need help. The service is industrial strength, the opinion are performance proven, the elite of Wall Street has used them to make millions, most likely billions, but I don’t yet know how to communiate properly to the 34 million households that use the web to manage their finances, and the majority of whom Wall Street has ejected for having less than $100,000 in their account (these undesirables, aren’t profitable for the Merrills, Smith Barneys, even Schwab abandoned them for the rich, only to slink back and start promising them success, if only they will open their trading account with them.)
Innovest (my company) started in 1974, covers 11,482 publically traded companies, and publishes updated research evaluations, BuySellHoldAdvice, price targets, and unique TrendTracker performance histories to demonstrate the accuracy (or not) of our daily advice side-by-side with exactly what the stock did, and is doing, daily. The entire focus of the service it to allow investors to Kno-When(tm), that is to know when to buy and when to sell.
I may Kno-When(tm), and I offer Free, and premium packages, but I don’t know what I need to know to make it successful on the web. I need your Product Launch Formula!
Thanks for this opportunity,
Sincerely, Robert Orange (404) 513-0348

Jeff,
Why? You were recommended by one of my most respected mentors in sales and persuasion which gave me huge confidence in your ability to deliver. And if I’ve learned anything about success in any area, you need to look at what the top people in the field are doing. Then you need to take action (the first big step is this one :p)
What? I’d like to use your information to create massive results by delivering real value products to a specific market that wants and needs real solutions. I’m a novice in this medium of marketing so the results I achieve here would be a significant testament to your work.
Thanks for the opportunity!

Hi Jeff
Have you heard of those folk that are labelled a “dreamer” that’s “wired”? I think it’s a good thing but others might not agree.
My mind runs on overdrive all the time. There’s never sufficient hours in each day to keep up with all the things I want to do, create or publish. Thank goodness for “notepad”!
I drive my hubby and friends nuts. Yes, I’m one of those folk who work their butt off for peanuts doing everything right (according to all the marketing courses I’ve purchased) - so close - but just don’t hit the jackpot.
I’ve drawn up plans for software (and other products) shared my ideas with folk who I had looked up too, because I needed advice. I sat there watching my plans slip away as those people (who also loved my plans and ideas) put them to use. Leaving me sitting there kicking myself and them raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It’s my own fault, I admit. I get caught up in the emotions of it all as I get very passionate about my new ideas and “potential products” and I let my guard down.
This year I purchased Frank and Ed’s Underacheiver Course. Now I’m wiped out. I can’t sleep! I’m amped. I’m dying to take things up a notch. I’m tired of being the person who’s left on the shelf and nearly - but not - reaching the mark. I’ve certainly learnt that keeping my lips zipped with my new niche ideas and plans is essential.
My goal for 2005 and 2006 is to not only make my hubby proud and bring in a decent income, but to make enough bucks to look after my mom for the rest of her life. This might sound silly or petty to some, but you haven’t met my mom. She’s been through hell with her health and I’m intending to pull her out of it.
Over the past few months, I’ve got a few projects under my belt which are ready to “rock n roll”. I guess I really would love a “LAUNCHPAD FOR MY DREAMS”. That’s what excites me so much about Product Launch Formula.
Ya can feel the PLF excitement in the air can’t ya?

(Please ignore this message if you got it just a few minutes ago. It took me a bit to type and wasn’t sure if it submitted properly or timed out, which is why I’m submitting again just to make sure.)
Hello Jeff,
I really appreciate what you are doing by giving away one copy of your full course. (And I mean that, no matter whether I win or not!
, as the entries I’ve read are good reasons and deserving.)
So here’s my reason for entering:
Due to a neuromuscular disorder my brother Larry(35) and I(30)live in electric wheelchairs. (Now that’s not being mentioned as a sob story-because we are incredibly blessed in many ways, but rather just for the purpose of laying the base for this entry.)
We are both on disability income and have a desire to kick dependency on Uncle Sam out of our lives. And strongly believe the internet is the tool to enable us to do so.
We’re business partners in a custom home design business that specializes in log homes (a struggling business with about $40,000 in debts racked up trying to get things going better).
Larry is the chief designer, and I’m working the marketing part. So far without much success.
If your course works as well for our business as it has for others, we would first use it to corner our niche and become debt-free and financially independent. Once we crack the internet code for ourselves, we have a desire to help other struggling physically challenged people likewise become financially independent and able to also give something valuable back to society.
Thanks again for the privilege of entering this contest. May God bless both you and the winner!
Sincerely,
Stan

Hi Jeff,
Wow! All these posts are soooooo long!!!! Actually, I was also just posting an extremely long one…but, then I lost my internet connection…and my blog…and now I’m just pooped!
In a nutshell, PICK ME TO WIN YOUR FREE PRODUCT LAUNCH FORMULA COURSE…I NEVER, EVER, EVER WIN ANYTHING!!!!!! Seriously, here is my story:
I am a 44 year old stay at home mom, with 3 kids (Elana, Zach, and Carly) and 3 dogs (Snowy, Boey, and Joey), and a husband (Mark…let’s just call him the “bubble burster!”) I am a very positive spirit…who lives in a world of negativity…with people who don’t feel that I have what it takes to do what I have set out to do. We’ll show them!!!
A little about me. I am a college graduate with 2 bachelor’s degrees (advertising and medical records administration). I am a go-getter! I think in positive terms. And, I am an 8 year breast cancer survivor with “Big Dreams!”
Breast cancer runs in my family; we have the gene. I have lost 3 aunts at young ages, and my first cousin was diagnosed just as I was finishing my 9 month treatment (chemo, stem cell transplant, and radiation). Enough of the bad stuff. I am establishing a foundation in memory of my aunts, Gert and Ricki. My non-profit company, A Pink Presence, has as it’s goal to find the cure! A Pink Presence donates 100% of its profits to breast Cancer research in the hope of finding a cure! This is extremely important to me, as I get this sick feeling every time I look into my sweet 10-year old daughter’s eyes…and know that she will inevitably have to go through the same “hell” that I did.
Currently, I have a line of jewelry, (sterling silver, crystal, gemstone, and pearl), which I am selling to my small island of Vernon Hills, IL. by word of mouth. 100% of the profits from the “awareness line” of jewelry, is donated to breast cancer research. YOUR PRODUCT LAUNCH FORMULA COURSE COULD LAUNCH the AWARNESS LINE OF JEWELRY into ORBIT!!! And, hopefully help to find the cure within our lifetime! That is the one thing on my list of things to do before i die!!!
Then, as a by-product, of this non-profit venture, I will have made enough connections and networks, to work on my own personal dreams. You see, I am AN ORDINARY WOMAN, WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY OVERFLOWING FOUNTAIN OF CREATIVE IDEAS WHICH NEEDS TO BE TAPPED, BOTTLED, AMD SOLD…AND YOUR PRODUCT LAUNCH COURSE COULD HELP ME TO DO JUST THAT.
The project I am currently working on is a website, www.e-Vrooom.com, where I will be selling pocketbikes, scooters, dirt bikes, go karts, atv’s, etc. It should be up and running within 2 to 3 weeks. Just perfect timing for your product launch formula to be implemented. WHEN I SUCCEED, THIS COULD BE YOUR BEST TESTIMONIAL TO YOUR GREAT PRODUCT…ORDINARY WOMAN…GOOD PRODUCT..NO EXPERIENCE…NO FORMAL MARKETING EDUCATION…NO LIST…NOTHING!!!! BUT, JEFF, I KNOW THAT YOUR PRODUCT WILL LAUNCH MY IDEAS INTO ORBIT, AND MAKE ME A SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR…DESPITE WHAT MY BUBBLE BURSTER SAYS! Please help me to prove myself to those negative spirits!!! You won’t be sorry if you invest your product in me…as a matter of fact, I think you’ll be proud! Thanks so much! Susan

Hi Jeff,
I was just sitting in my car on my break at work when I got you email (via cell) about the contest. I’m so excited about it that I wrote the reply right away!
I’m a single mom, work full time and work on my businesses every chance I get. I have two very small businesses going right now and every day I think of how I can make them very successful so I can quit my full time job and work full time from home.
I was actually just going to write out an entry for my blog about your Product Launch and how exciting it is to watch (even being on your mailing list for the launch is a learning experience!). Ok I could go on and on..hehe.
Here is what I would do if I am chosen to recieve your couse free:
- Develop a product for my Selling Soap.com site… I have already been thinking of this and developing a internet marketing course for soapmakers
- Pour over all the information and cd’s in your course and use all the wonderful information I’m sure is there to create the BEST product launch I could!
What I WON’T do:
- Let the course sit on a shelf unused!!!
Thank you so much for allowing us this opportunity!!
Best Regards,
Angela
October 19th, 2005 at 12:18 pm
I could use your course to help me launch my businesses. I really don’t know where to start with marketing of my websites and I have yet to make any money. I am just shelling about $45.00 monthly on my sites and I am ready to cancel them if I cannot make money soon!
October 19th, 2005 at 12:21 pm
Hi Jeff,
I first heared your name on the YSS CDs from Yanik. I really found your presentation valuable.
Why would I like to win your prize…? It seems to have the missing pieces of how to do it successfully.
I am a kind of newbie and am trying to get my site up and running, I feel like I am walking in a foggy forest and bumping into trees. I have been studying online marketing for a couple of years, going from zero knowledge to I am pretty sure I can do it. And I have decided that this is my future, also for personal reasons, I need to be successful. Getting the site up with good software for different areas has been much more costly than I anticipated.
I did not read all of the previous letters - too many to read.
I wish you well on your launch, and thank you for putting a great product together!

Dear Jeff,
I have been in the Mortgage industry for over 7 years and built a successful practice, but still at times feels like a grind. Your product launch gives me thoughts of financial freedom.
My client base consists of 100% word-of-mouth referrals. I have had the opportunity to help people change their financial lives. For a number of years I have been volunteering my expertise in credit repair and debt management as part of my giving back. I have always believed in giving monetarily (over 10% of my income to church and charity) and giving my knowledge to those who can benefit from it. I have been working with my own church in regards to a budget ministry to help people avoid filing bankruptcy and starting their financial lives over again with dignity. I believe Social Proof would be very powerful in spreading this message, as well as, bolster my Mortgage practice. I feel I am the best and want more to know that. This will help get out my message to a larger audience. But I need your help to make it all happen.
With much encouragement from friends and associates, I have recently started my own speaking business in which I am doing educational workshops about credit improvement and debt and financial freedom. I have even become the only Mortgage person that is approved by The Wisconsin State Bar Association to provide continuing education for attorneys in the niche of Divorce and Mortgage Planning. This was an enormous accomplishment, but I want to turn it into an empire reaching out to other groups, such as CPA’s, Financial Planners, Realtors, etc. I believe your ideas about Social Proof could be what will make this all happen immediately. I want to have people on a waiting list to attend my seminars. I want people to be calling me to book me for a workshop. I want other professionals to know I am the man that can make a difference in their businesses. I want to create the buzz. You can help me.
I am thankful that over the past 6 months I have been exposed to the benefits of direct marketing and information marketing, thanks to the likes of Dan Kennedy, Bill Glazer and Yanik Silver (which is how I started to receive your communications). I have been very captured by your use of telling stories and being personal with your audience. I have put these practices into play in my business, in face-to-face situations. I now believe I need to add different mediums to get the message out. I think your system for creating interest and response is incredible. I believe that not only would this enhance and explode my own businesses, but I could also use it to touch the lives of those who need it most in the volunteer part of my practice. I have a feeling Social Proof could be the difference. Thank you for the consideration.

Hi Jeff,Their are some worthy suggestions here,but i beleive my products will also be worthy.Most of the launches you talk about are by established marketers.A different angle, might even have a wider appeal. Supposeing you took a beginning site and chronicalled a plan useing your formula from the onset-setting up the site to use the formula to its maximum advantage,initially the site would sell (say) an ebook detailing a radicall new way in which people can change their lives,with a forum to support them in doing so. Later it would sell and launch back end products,and sites dedicated to each of the areas in which people need self help could be added.This clearly offers scope for the application of many launches,and could be an example of how the formula could be succesfully applied to setting up a business that starts small,but grows rapidlly.I am planning to launch a “mini site” initially to promote a product that i beleive will”give people (who beleive current methods wont work for them)their lives back”,and expand from that beggining into a large business undertaking.I beleive the formula would be very useful in promoting this.

Hi Jeff
Great idea. Giveaways always generate free publicity and this one is doing a great job.
I do not want the course at this moment in time because I wouldn’t use it.
I have just discovered Jeff Walker thanks to my subscription to The Reese Report.
To be honest there is so much change going on as a result of just 10 months of learning to understand the wisdom of John Reese that getting your course right now, either free or by buying it, would ensure it sat on the shelf for months because of brain overload.
I currently sell “real” products on the Internet and am moving into selling information simply because so much of my time is spent doing unprofitable things that are part and parcel of selling “real” goods online.
As part of my “real world” activities I write a monthly newsletter for my accountants client base (this is actually quite profitable as it cuts my accountancy fees in half!) and as many of these clients launch new products and services year in year out with varying degrees of success I intend to offer them your course on a free to use basis to try and get them to sell more of what they produce.
Best of luck with the launch…… even though both you and I know LUCK has nothing to do with it!
October 19th, 2005 at 1:12 pm
A free copy of your course—WOW!
Why should I be the one?
I was recently part of a “corporate downsizing” and in an effort to find a new career path, I’ve turned to the internet.
As you well know, there is so much CRAP out there. When I first found your website (sixinseven.com) I immediately sensed that you were different and that you really cared about your visitors and wanted to see them succeed as well (the old adage “if I help enough people get what they want, I can’t help but get what I want”).
Anyway, with me being out of work right now, money is tight. I would use your course as a launching pad to get my online business started and no doubt, become successful!
After achieving success, I would then do just as you are doing and that is to give something back to others out there seeking success.
Warm Regards.

Jeff,
I have been working full time from home for three and
a half years in the MLM industry. It was seven years of working part time to get to the point where I could quit my job and work full time from home.
I have a very basic web site at www.HomeMLM.com that I send people to for them to get information. But I know almost nothing about internet marketing, launching a product or driving traffic to a website.
It is now time for me to get begin to market on the interent now that I have the time to really devote to it. It will be great to use your product launch information to launch my own product. Knowing that it will be a success because of all the information you will provide me when I am picked as the winner.
Thank you,

Jeff,
Any product. Any market.
These are the words that finally pushed me to enter this contest. For my product is quite unusual.
I’m a singer/songwriter based in Goa, India. I also run a graphic design studio along with my wife but music takes precedence over design and I have been steadily creating all the 12 songs that would be a part of my first music album.
While working on my songs, I started putting aside some time in writing down how I would like to launch my music album - and that too to an international audience. During this ideation time, I happened to read “The One Minute Millionaire” by Mark Victor Hansen and Robert Allen and read about their vision for creating enlightened millionaires who would give away the first fruits of their wealth to help others.
Their book touched a chord inside me. I’m wealthy when it comes to the gift of musical composition and I reached a decision that before I launched my music album, I would create a beautiful song that would earn at least a million dollars worldwide. And that I would give away the entire 100% profits from the sale of the song to charity.
I’m going to market the song both offline and online and I know in order to see this dream through to reality I need the help and support of a lot of caring individuals who would share this vision.
The song is nearly three-fourths complete with only a little reworking of the lyrics left.
The Product Launch Formula will help launch a song that will go on to impact a lot of people, and will also help launch a career.
Will I reach my goal without it? Definitely YES.
But it’ll help me get there sooner. And we can all do with a little help.
Thank you for this opportunity, Jeff. And all the best for your own product launch.
God Bless,

Hello Jeff,
WOW! What a great offer.
I am particularly interested in your course as I am constantly being hounded by my seven year old son to start another business.
He has come up with some really great ideas and is determined to start one if not more of his businesses.
Just to let you in on how his mind works… he wanted to start a website where kids could go to figure out where the ice cream truck is. Yes, you guessed it. www.IceCreamTruck.com.
On another occasion he wanted to start a hamburger place called “Burger Frenzy” I tell ya the kid really cracks me up.
Anyway, he has some really great ideas and I know they would be successful.
We are currently home schooling our son and I would like to use your material as his course curriculum for marketing and business development.
I need to use the course because I wanted a detailed, step-by-step process that can be turned into lessons for him to work with.
He is a very creative and hard working kid that will benefit for many years to come if you would be willing to use your course materials to inspire him to greatness in all his business endeavors.
I can think of no better use of the material than to inspire the next generation of online entrepreneurs.
Recently, he came up with a really great idea for how to raise money for charities and I would like that to be his “first” project.
I try to instill in him that it’s nice to be important, but more important to be nice and always help the less fortunate.
Many many people will be helped if his fund raising idea would come to fruition and I am sure that he would very much appreciate your help.
I know there are many wonderful and deserving people trying to win the course, but I really cannot think of a better place to get a set of step-by-step course materials for him to use.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Douglas Newberry.

Jeff:
In March of this year, I had to make a huge decision to retire from Corporate America.
My retirement was brought about out of respect for myself. I was working 65+ hours a week and had no quality of life and my health was taking a major hit because of it.
I am living on what savings I have and trying to find away to make a living from my home office. I have discovered that working from my home I can maintain my health, bring quality back into my life and now I am trying to wrap that package up with a big beautiful bow by making money from home.
I have been working really hard reading everything I can about internet marketing and the money seems to be in creating your own products…(easier said than done by the way). I have two products I am getting very close to completing and need to move forward with the next step of launching them.
Have to tell you I am stopped dead on the tracks and about to get run over as nothing I am read on marketing provides me the details I need to know to launch these products - however with confidence I say I know your package would do the trick.
I am one screw short a bolt trying to be successful without your package and not only that I wasted allot of money purchasing “crap”….Oh Jeff, I wish I knew about you months ago!!! You know how the old saying goes – when your ready the teacher will appear. I believe that to be you Jeff.
If I am chosen as the winner of this contest, I will read, listen, study and apply your knowledge to find my success. However, I will take it one step further, though I need money my goal is to help others as well. The true value of wealth is not in the amount of money we have but in the action of helping others.
You’re a great guy Jeff! I am not financially able to purchase your product so many thanks for the opportuntiy to try and win it.
God Bless,

Hi Jeff,
I see you will have a lot to read already so I’ll get right to the point. There are 3 reason why I want this course:
1. I’m working online for almost 7 years now with medium success. I never seem to over that edge of the really succesfull. Eitherway, with or without your product I won’t rest until I AM successfull.
2. I’m launching a service very shortly called
I’m actually waiting right now to put the site online until I have your course.
“AutomateYourWebBiz”. The name says it all and will be available for only 750 people. With the help of your course I want to sell this out in a matter of days or worst case a few weeks
3. At the same time programmers are working on a real estate site that will target the dutch speaking part of my small country Belgium. One part will be for agencies and the other part forsalbyowner. I have two major competitors who I want to crush with a major launch and hopefully this course will teach me how to do this. This is planned for November.
So there’s my story Jeff, who ever you decide I wish you the best of luck with your launch. No doubt you will write history.
Take care,
Nico

Dear Jeff:
I NEED your product so badly! I have been going round in circles trying to find a way to sell my travel product. I have a website that everyone else has who is selling the same product and I desperately need something different and new! I put in many hours trying to find a way…….I am lost at this point. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win your course.
October 19th, 2005 at 3:04 pm
Hi Jeff,
I’m a computer security professional and plan on having my own business someday soon. As you can imagine, the “computer” part of all that means that I also enjoy doing things with computers, so an Internet business appeals to me.
The problem is that I enjoy spending my time messing with HTML source code, style sheets, scripts… things like that. I still need a lot of guidance on how to get the word out about products that can mean the difference between financial success and financial disaster — and that is creating problems for LOTS of people.
You see, just like you and many others, I like nothing better than to see people succeed, and there’s nothing better than watching someone pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get an Internet business going that empowers them to quit their day job and experience the freedom of helping others. But as a computer security professional, I also know that a lot of these same people take unnecessary risks with their computers, their networks and their data — risks that could put them out of business (and back in that J-O-B). And while great tools exist to help protect these assets, I also know that these tools are of limited use unless you understand what you are protecting and use these tools as part of an overall business continuity plan.
So I have several ideas for eBooks and products that I hope to develop over the next couple of years that will help individuals, entrepreneurs, and small-small business owners to ensure that their business will still be here tomorrow, whatever that business may be. It could be something as simple as a blog where you post pictures of your kids for the grandparents or something as complex as what you are doing. But regardless of how good these products turn out (and they will be good!), they won’t do anybody any good if they don’t know about them.
That’s why I’m interested in your product. You have helped several people on their road to success — and to put it simply, I know about YOU because THEY told me about their products, using the methods you taught them. And I found out about THEM because they did what you told them to do — so your system must work (and I don’t want to waste my time chasing some cheap system that really doesn’t do me any good). And now I’d like to learn how to do what you’ve taught others so that I can, in turn, help others bullet-proof their businesses. Sure, I’d be successful, but so would a lot of other people. And how often can a gift to one person help so many?
In other words, I’m eager to hear what you have to say because what you tell me can potentially result in thousands of businesses surviving a catastrophe. And in return, you wouldn’t just be giving something to me — you’d help ensure that a lot of other people can continue to pursue their dream in spite of disasters, catastrophes, and other unpleasant events. So you’re not just giving to me — you’re investing in the success of LOTS of people.
Thanks for the opportunity to obtain a complimentary copy of your course.
Best wishes for continued success,

Jeff, I haven’t had this much fun in years! Watching you at work is a bit like what I imagine watching Houdini was like - pure genius.
First of all, I want to say that I want to work with every single one of the people who have posted here. They have guts, ambition and the desire to succeed, and that’s great. If nothing else, Jeff, you have sparked something that will do a lot of people a lot of good.
I’ve been modestly successful in internet marketing thanks mostly to some great joint venture partners I’ve connected with. Now I am getting ready to launch my new product, and I realise I NEED your system to do this.
The product is software (near completion) that will take any written work that is in downloadable format (most, anyway) and allow the author to create an interactive software tool with it (and no, it’s not an ‘Instant Software Builder’ - it’s much more sophisticated). Why is this important?
Well, people just don’t learn unless they can apply the information they are reading (a book, an ebook, a report)to their own personal situation. This is not new - marketers know that you have to drive home the benefit. This software does that, but it goes one step further and helps the reader actually discover how the information they are reading is applicable to their situation right now…how it will make their lives better.
It’s something that’s badly needed.
Marketers and authors will love it, because it allows them to re-introduce existing works in a new, interactive format. How many ebooks are there out there, retired and not making any money? How many books and reports? It opens up whole new streams of income for authors and marketers that did not exist before. It also creates lifelong fans for the author - fans who love the author’s work because it helps them. Do you think an author or marketer would invest in a product that would do that for them? I do.
But it’s not just for marketers. Imagine offering this product to anyone creating a written infoproduct in any niche. How-to books come to mind. They write their material, use my software and - quickly and easily - have an interactive learning system to offer their clients. They’ll blow the competition out of the water.
To give credit, it was Willie Crawford who suggested to me that I call it an ‘e-learning’ system. I took his advice and bought a suitable domain name reflecting that suggestion. It is not live yet, but it will be soon.
I believe my software has a chance of making a difference - and a huge splash when it is launched. I would like to do the launch right. Your system, Jeff, is the system to use to do that, and I hope I can work with you to make it happen.
I look forward to the rest of your launch - I’m learning every step of the way!

Dear Jeff:
It took me sometime before writing to you this letter because I know is a big responsability having your course for free instead of paying for it.
I’m a newbe on the internet but I’ve suscribed to several newsletters from many experts like you. I already bought the Mini Site Course from Jim Edwards, read ebooks from Yanik Silver and also heard teleconferences of many others. I thought I had a lot of tools that will help me start my e-business but somehow I got stuck. I got very excited about your corse when I heard about it because I’m sure it’ll be the trigger that I need to get my business going and even more enthusiastic when you offered “one free course” and here is why:
I live in Guatemala and, like this guy from India, buying something in US$ takes a great effort from us because it’s hard to gain the money that we need in Q (quetzales) to be able to exchange it for US$ (the exchange rate is almost Q.8.00 for US$1.00) and just for you to have an idea of the standard of living of our country, the minimum salary per month is
just US$ 150.00. So for me to buy your course would be very hard to do.
I know that it’ll help me a lot to have it in order to be out of the rat-race and to spend more time with my family giving them a better quality
of life but right now I’m not in a very good financial situation.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this letter and hope to
be taken into account to participate in your free course contest.
Best Regards,
Regina Cruz

October 19th, 2005 at 3:18 pm
Hi Jeff,
What a great offer and product you have. Thanks for the
invitation to the contest.
How would I use your product the Product Launcher Formula?
I would use it launch a dream for a better world by helping
others less fortunate. Helping to raise funds for
organizations that help the needy.
Did you ever have a burden to do something that was beyond
what you could thought you could do? That is my
circumstance today. Why was I shown this vision and to
dream this impossible dream. A vision or dream of helping
countless missionaries by raising a million dollars a month
for starving people around the world. I know your product
could help me to launch my ideas for multiple products in
the future to help raise the funds for others which I think
God has given me the vision to do. Tremendous Internet
Opportunities await us if we can find the right people to
Joint venture with. Abundant MLM opportunities with new
companies and new products have come about where our
efforts can be duplicated instead of us just relying on our
own efforts. You could help find me partners to share in
the work or you could be a partner yourself and sharing
your knowledge.
What if you were my business partner and in five years or
less we developed $1Million/mo for humanitarian purposes?
You can read the story about the guy who gave his life to
God and is now the owner of a company that is one of the
fastest growing franchises in the world with over 8000
franchises within a few short years. That’s the founder of
Curves International. They have over 1 million members.
Just imagine if we could tap into just a quarter of those
people with one product that would generate $5.00
com/month. That my friend is $1,000,000.00 yes one Million
DOLLARS not one time but every month for charity. What if
we had another product such as Vitamins or another? Can you
see the potential?
If my organization were to offer multiple products with
different companies a greater chance of developing revenue
exists. We just need people to buy from us to help others
around the world instead. What if we could raise more than
$100k from people in the oilfield of Louisiana for
humanitarian relief? What if that could be $100k a month.
What if we could set up for $1000 a month to be paid out to
1000 missionaries every month? We could do that easily with
a thousand churches the size of most 1st Baptist Churches
of any medium to large city. Each church would only have to
sign up 250 customers out of its membership. These churches
probably have more than a 1000 members. With the right
contacts and media exposure this could be done before
Christmas. How about that for a Christmas gift to the
world? Are you close to a believer yet? I just read on the
internet the story of John Reese who made $1 Million over
the internet in 24 Hours. He gives God the credit for
helping him. Yes you heard me right, 1 million dollars in
one 24 hour period selling. If he can do it in 24 hours
couldn’t we do it in a few months? Even if we did it in 4
years it still would be a great accomplishment don’t you
think? There are some seminars coming up if we had the
money we could network with some of the greatest Internet
marketers and some of the greatest Network marketers. Just
think if we could somehow tap into their customer base for
a humanitarian cause. They have thousands of people in
their network. They have Thousands of customers already.
They have Hundreds of partners and affiliates. Can you see
the vision; can you dream the dream with me? Can you
visualize with me the checks that we will be able to write
for different organizations such as Feed the Children, The
Red Cross and Samaritans Purse? I need you my friend. You
could be one of the key people on my team to help me to
make this vision a reality. Are you ready to join with me
in exploring new options and opportunities together? Just
like I know you love your family I know you may have a
heart of compassion for others in the world. There are
mothers and children who are suffering that need our help.
You know here in the United States we have the ability to
do something. People in third world countries do not have
that capability so we must help them. Do you realize that
more than a billion people have not heard the name of Jesus
Christ.? We could help those native missionaries to reach
out to their own people by providing support to them.
Please join our team with me and build a legacy for those
hurting souls here and abroad. Every little bit can help.
Maybe you could be a business partner. It could be you know
someone that could be a great partner and want to help us
out in some way. Would you help to make the dream a
reality. You can make a difference. Can you picture
yourself experiencing that good feeling that comes with
knowing you are helping many others?

Hello Jeff,
The ‘Why’ is because many years ago when I was VERY green round the gills, paid out thousands for what I thought was the beginning of a wonderful world of on-line marketing - lost the lot to these ‘would be helpers’ and have been trying so hard ever since to make it. I’ve so many people that I need to help.
The ‘What’ I am going to use it for is to become the ‘Sir Richard Branson’ of my various websites, so that at last I can honor the promise I made to myself all those years ago to help those in need around me. I’m not going to try and take on ‘Virgin Atlantic’ - although I would love to fly first class every time I use them! My first help would be a little girl with Angelmans Syndrome and her family, who are all so special.
Thank you

I’m not sure if you’ll be able to keep up with reading so many comments! But hopefully you’ll find this one worthy.
I am a Senior Citizen, recently remarried and my whole life has turned around in the last year, after nearly losing it all when I lost my house to foreclosure. So a lot is in Phoenix Rising from the Ashes mode!
As I now get back to rewriting web pages, writing articles, and rejuvenating my practice (to half-time), I am launching an added new service to help my audience even more, by supporting people through the awareness, resistance and working up to readiness for change which all life changes involve. To that end, I will write a little e-book and some reports which will help to launch the new service, and which will greatly benefit from the Power Launch which otherwise doesn’t yet fit my budget.
An exploration of my web pages will reveal the unique and truly effective tools that my Golden Keys Therapy gives my clients to help them go far beyond that which traditional, passive listening approaches can never do.
I specialize in the healing of dysfunctional / addictive patterns of behavior which emerge from our unhealthy families of origin. That include codependence (relationship addiction, enabling, etc.), abuse, addiction, and all that’s gotten out of balance.
The proprietary therapy method I use is truly ‘inspired’ and I consider it God-given, which is why it works. Eventually, before I retire completely, I will leave it for the world, in a multi-media format, though, unfortunately, minus my ability to intuitively help and guide the user through the process of real healing, growth and change which it gives to everyone who does the homework I assign them, sticks with it, and completes — gaining tools to use for a lifetime of successful application in every aspect of life, relationships, situations and goals/desires.
Your choosing my application for this contest will help make all of that possible much more readily, Jeff. Thank you, for the opportunity to submit my current project.

Sorry but my newly registered website will give my product away, wasn’t sure if it would show up on this or not. I am being careful because I have a very WANTED product that nobody else has and here’s why. I breed a certain kind of animal and I didn’t know it but nobody else has ever got more than a couple to live. I have serfed hundreds of sites, a truck load of chat rooms ( where I give little tidbits of info and capture e-mail addresses for my opening day here ). They all seem to have one common hot button, and one common problem, yes I wrote my copy around the main two things but also included the rest kind of in order of importance. For 15 years we have raised these things giving them away for free, now I will be selling them as well. I also developed four back end products that I created over the years that I added to my battle plan. The main product is a video, that will also be transcribed into an e-book for a little less money. I have footage that even zoos don’t have, footage of them giving birth ( I read every book out there and they all say that no HUMAN has ever laid eyes on this event before… I filmed it ALL.)I also have tons of footage of other things that nobody has been sure of, 15 years worth. I am using every copy trick, every sales trick, everything I can get my hands on to absolutely be the leader in this industry, which I already am, nobody knows squat about these things like I do. I did not know where to start like everyone else so I followed my Dan K. method of starting with a checklist of everything to start this project from start to finish and I am just following the steps as I can and everything is falling into place. I will be ready to launch in about 6 weeks ( these buggers have to be a certain size before I can do certain things with them, I want peoples jaws to drop when they view it ). I have two websites purchased, drafted 2 salesletters for one of them and am currently on the other one. I have a salesletter drafted for pet stores, suppliers of pet stores, an ad to run in the papers here to sell them from my home. I am going to Transworld this Sat. to find a manufacturer for my backend stuff, I just got my business license last week and am vibrating with excitement. I am putting my Harley in the paper to buy your product as I do need it if I am going to make the maximum amount of money, however, I will never rely on a contest to wish it into my hands. This is one of the steps I need to take and I am taking it, by by bike. I can use this product over and over and over again so it will more than pay for itself. I am setting up websites that when added together will give me enough money to leave my job because I hate working for someone else, I hate just making my bills, and I really hate not having any time for my family. I am willing to drive a beater for now . . . .

Jeff If I won your free launch formula,I would use it to launch my new product which will help many 9to 13year olds prevent ing to start tobacco,alcohol, marijuana and substance abuse.I went to Wasson in Colo.Spgs. don’t let that prejudice the other contestants. Barry Keane

After our mod squad had our dreams killed by PAI we set out trying to have the Rebirth Of The American Dream but as things happen we never could get it off the ground. I believe with the help from your product we would be able to create a successful launch and bring back to reality of people helping people — giving a hand up instead of a handout.
You are welcome to check out our site at http:www.rotad.com and please consider helping us give life to the dream.
October 19th, 2005 at 5:33 pm
Jeff,
Bless you for wanting to help others with a free course give away. Many people could use the help.
I would like to apply for the free course myself. I am a natural health practioner who loves to help people, but am not a great marketer.
Without going in to detail, I have had to take some years off, have some surgeries and take medication that messed me up.
I never want to be a burden on my family again. I want to do things that will pay for my effort now for years to come.
I have refined a proven system to clear past traumas, abuse and phobias as well as help with daily stress. These techniques have helped some people turn their life around, to where they think that life is worth living again. It would make a big difference for so many more people, if I could market it on the internet properly.
Another project is an ebook I have started on people helping themselves by using remedies they have easy access to, to prevent disease and build health, rather than wait till they have a devastating disease.
There may come a time here in the U.S. where we do not have access to vitamins without a prescription, this is a problem in Europe right now. People need to know how to take care of themselves.
All in all, I want to make a difference in peoples lives and know the internet reaches the globe, rather than just the people I can see face to face.
But how to do a pre launch or really launch the products in a way they deserve is an area that I am weak in. Your course would help tremendously, not only me but the people that benefit from my efforts.
Thanks for your consideration.

Hi Jeff
Jeff, you are a true visionary to come up with the contest idea and get all the comments from people that are interested in your course. As I have been reading your email to me, I see that you are a “hands on” kinda guy. I am also.
At this writing there are over 190 posts from guys just like me wanting the course. I have read them all and WOW there are some really good comments there. You are going to have a library that will be a resource for quite some time. The contest was a GREAT idea. Congrats.
First IMHO – formula has many varied definitions, but the one I hope that your product relates to is: A set of instructions. (I will elaborate on this latter in this post)
The reason I think I am qualified to win your Product Launce Formula contest is the following.
I have been listening to teleconfernece calls, reading all the sales letters, buying products like traffic secrets, article announcer, etc.etc. (I have spent several thousand already) but as yet I have not found any program to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. I put a post on John Reese;s board with regard to this and there was only one response and that said “It does not exist”.
With that comment I set out to compose a checklist of all the components of a complete A to Z launch package. Jeff, if your package is something that will provide the guidance and the resources to get a complete product launce done, I will become your affiliate in a heartbeat and having been struggling with exactly how to do this for over a year, it would be a Godsend.
A month ago I bought a ticket to the Big Seminar for the sole purpose of picking the brains of the hottest and brightest of which you are one. (So I am out of money right now) I will be a virtual sponge there trying to absorb all the missing pieces of the information the I need, but now if your program is what I think it is and I can be the lucky one to win the Product Launch in this contest. Then I can be even more efficient in my quest to gain the knowledge necessary to be successful in the launching of several niche market products that I already have in various stages of development.
If I am the winner I can foresee working with you personally, Jeff, to get you to help me implement the use of your course. I have lots of notes on my on research into the same subject of a checklist. Maybe working together with someone like me that is really a novice at this will open up new areas for you to target to people just like me to find the clues and putting it all together.
A lot of people out there are striving to put it all together and just don’t know how. I mean there are so many parts to the whole from actually coming up with a niche market idea, researching it, coming up with a 8,000 word sales letter and then put it in a mini-website, create an email optin page and market that to get email addresses to send the sales letter to, and how do this - with adwords (can be expensive) or try to solicit a joint venture with someone with a list and this is just for starters. Then some sort database/autoresponder needs to be found and a series of messages has to be created. Then comes the requirement for a merchant account, shop cart, etc. etc. So many little pieces! And how they fit together. Ahhh, Jeff, That is what Product Launch Formula is all about – right?
I really hope your Product Launch will put all this together in a check list with all the resource references whereby the purchaser will be able to get it all set up and actually be selling product within a short period of time. Maybe 60 days?
I have been working at it for over an year and it is coming together very slowly, but I really need to see a master plan that guys like yourself, or Yanik Silver, Armand Morin and many others use to get their products to market quickly.
Product Launch Formula appears to be the product that will do this job.
If I am the winner of your product, I am positive we will put it to good work and you can point your finger to the accomplishments of a novice and say “ There is what Product Launch Formula can do for you”.
Finally, I again must applaud you for such a great rollout idea as a “CONTEST”
Norm
PS – No website as yet – working on the total promotion. Expect Product Launch Formula will put be over the top.

Very, very, interesting indeed. My vision is to extend entreprenuers and business people to limits well beyond what they believe to be possible… then to move them some more. We achieve this through colabration by expanding their minds and introducing techniques and understandings that are normally ‘unknown’ in the marketplace… once this is opened up, then their skill capabilities can be aligned and grown beyond belief. Then their
hunger gets stronger for even more.
‘The Product Launch Formula’ system fits very, very nicely into my vision by mapping out a highly successful path to follow, thus ensuring success and inspiration. Ultilising your product will help me to help thousands of entreprenuers launch any product or service… anywhere! Fantastic!
What a tool! …Once the mind has been opened up, a great tool can propel results like rocket fuel… this is the tool! …
Climb into your space suit, buckle up… and get ready, the rocket fuel ‘Product Launch Formula’ system is almost ready for launch! Count down please… 10.. 9.. 8.. 7..

Jeff,
I hope you get to the 192 entry for your FREE “Product Launch Course” contest.
Why I want to win the course… well because I have been at this Internet Marketing “Thing” for a number of years ( I hate admit how many years..and how much I have spent on Products and have yet to make any $$$ - do you remember Instant Internet Empires..of course you do ..wanna but a copy cheap? ) plus I own just about every Product out there - good for a membership site( hence I have very little money left to purchase your New Course ) I hope it has a real action plan because as of today ( Oct. 18, 2005 ) I have made a commitment to S-T-O-P buying and really start A-C-T-I-N-G - I am sure your couse would be a great help in doing this as I have a number of web sites up now and plan on putting up a whole lot more for Internet Products ( to try and get some of my money back) and non Internet Product sites and blogs with real links to real products.
My big problem has been T A K I N G A C T I O N !!
I am sure your course will SHOW me exactly how to
T A K E A C T I O N , GET MY PRODUCTS LAUCHED and see some real results in this “Dream” I have of making money on the net as my retirement income - time is drawing closer on that and I am self employed (which does tend to get in the way of getting my Net Projects going)- I enjoy what I do - but don’t really have the Big retirement nest egg for down the road ..
I am a advertising and marketing guy off-line and have really enjoyed your Product Lauch Process so far. The John Reese launch and Frank Kern just blew me away with his last “Serializer” launch and close all in one. I realize you have not given all the secrets away .. that is why people ( like me ) need to buy your course.. Unfortunately, I cannot ( no dough left )so I am entering your contest ( hoping to win ) so I can put your name on my web sites and in the emails I will be writing to my future customers about how I made so much money - thanks to you and your course and how you can help them too!
In closing, I hope you can help me get this Dirt Bike “off the road” and over some dunes..some Big Ones !!
Thanks for the interesting education in marketing and Product Launching .. so far and thanks for letting me enter your contest … I am A N T I C I P A T I N G… a WIN !
All the best,
Harry

Hi Jeff,
I am a Church Minister and God has given me a vision to serve Him in preaching the Gospel in an Independent itinerant ministry, ministering in the gifts of Evangelism, Healing and Deliverance from town to town, city to city, village to village and NEVER TAKE UP AN OFFERING FROM ANYONE. What God gives by His Spirit he gives FREE! He has promised me that I will be able to give to people what He has given me without asking for their money to support me. Additionally, I have a dream to be able to employ someone in my ministry team so that we will look out for people as we travel who are destitute, and help them learn how to make serious money through selling their own product on the internet. Prosperity is part of God’s plan for humankind! More people need to hear that truth and be taught free of charge how it can be done. That is COMPASSION and a seed of prosperity that will increase the return of the one who sows it in lives that are hurting. Jeff, what you are doing is a God-inspired act of Christian kindness and He will return many times more the value of your gift to you!
God bless you,
Neil

Hello Mr. Walker. I am the guy who is just “crazy” about winning your course (Post #145.) I was concerned about my comments being too lengthy before but realized I did not give you enough info and only answered half your questions.
Obviously, you need to know the ebooks I want to launch.
Well, the first one is titled Money, Sex, Communication. The hook is “what do these three things have in common?” Frank Kern would say they are the three necessary ingredients for picking up a hooker, Ed Dale would tell us they are the 3 most common issues that couples fight about and break up over.
The second book is Stay Together Forever, can you guess what it might be about
Then we have “6 keys to a rich love life”, you need all 6 to open the door of romance.
I wrote Just Rewards. The sub-title describes it as: How to Motivate, Appreciate and Compensate Outstanding Job Performance, obviously B2B oriented,
Still on the business theme is, “Super Successful Sales Strategies” My keyboard had a sticky “s” key.
Then we have Refuse to Lose, my key philosophy, the hook is, “if you don’t quit you win.” This book is partly my life story.
Champions, Heroes, Role Models is self-explanatory. It consists of stories of people who made extraordingary contributions, some of whom you’ve never heard of.
I just finished Secrets of Your Perfect Kiss. I won’t tell you too much here because I don’t want to give away my “secrets”, we will do that next week Jeff. What is highly unusual about this book, (I’ve never heard of this being done before) is it consists for 4 reports each of 25 pages (note to Frank Kern, that is 100 total).
One is the Gal’s version. Essentially it talks about how guys are morons with the romantic sophistication of cattle.
The Regular guy version is men fighting back. Women have taken away our rights to drop our laundry in the middle of the damn floor, put the toilet paper on the roll any way we please, squeeze the toothpaste in the middle, and much more. It is time for a Men’s Liberation Movement, which I try to incite as a fully credentialled spit disturber, ooops a typo.
Then we have the Romeo version, a little more serious but still fun, written for the Casanova’s and finally the Juliet version for all those female frog kissers.
I tell them not to try and change their man. If he is of the frog species, he will still eat flies and come home all muddy.
AND I just finished the sales letter for a project I am mega-excited about.
John Houseman told us all that the best way to earn money was the “old fashioned way” - to earn it.
I think he was smoking crack at the time.
As my copy says, any lottery winner or child of Sam Walton will tell you that this is not true. Even a 7 years old kid is wise enough to know that getting money the easy way is better than working your ass off for it. (Just ask Frank Kern. $370K for 9 minutes, how exhausting. But he does have to put in a couple of days work later, and he sent a half a dozen emails so it wasn’t as easy as it looked.)
So, I created a concept called a “bum based business.” Partly because my keyboard is now stuck on “b”.
The domain name I just registered is FatAssMoney.com.
This book is called, “The Lazy Person’s Guide To Fame & Fortune……And High Cholesterol.”
There will also be a course with installments sent every 2 weeks for a year (Frank, no need to get out the calculator, that is 26). These are called Fat Ass Reports, aka Cellulite Circulars.
All the graphics are done for all the components.
I was concerned about people ripping off my idea, but I think I have that solved. I paid a pretty penny to have a Voodoo curse put on anyone who tries to steal my stuff. Their pubic hair will all fall out instantly!
I can’t imagine anyone willing to take the risk.
Except for a few women who are smirking right now, so I went for the Voodoo upsell. Women without pubic hair will have batches of hair grow under their armpits that can not be shaved off. Not so funny now, eh Sweetpea? Unless of course you are French.
Plus I will offer a very generous affiliate commission and you and I Jeff can talk about whether I should offer resale rights.
Let me close with two things I wrote yesterday that summarize my desire to win.
“You must be on the right path. If you try to get to Detroit by heading west from Seattle - you don’t end up in Motown - you drown. If your road does not lead to your desired destination do not do the typical male thing, being so stubborn that you refuse to admit that you are lost. Stop and ask for directions at the gas station of life.” (This advice is uni-sex)
(Frank I am referring to gender neutrality when I say uni-sex, not playing with yourself.)
Let me close with this excerpt I wrote, “Times have changed. We are now in the 21st century. A journey of a thousand miles no longer begins with the first step, but rather by…..
….purchasing a plane ticket on the Internet, then going to another web site and booking a limo to the airport, baby. Who the hell wants to walk when a jet can take you?
Mr. Walker, I look forward to you delivering my jet.

Hi Jeff,
WOW! There’s ll kinds of people/comments here in this contest blog…
I won’t try to impress you here with a long comments like the ones I see here already…
WHY I need your new product? -> Well, I’ve been selling my software tools on the web for over 8 years, have bought products from Corey Rudl, Marlon Sanders, Joe Vitale, Mark Joyner, Armand Morin, Yanik Silver, Dan Kennedy, Frank Kern, John Reese, Jim Edwards, and many, many others…
However, I still can’t get it to launch a product the way you guys do it… The latest version of my software was supposed to be a pretty good relaunch but only a handful of my current users actually purchased it on launch day… I really need your product to wrap up everything I know, it’s the missing link for me!
WHAT I’m going to use it for? -> Well, like I stated above, I’m going to use it to finally figure out how to make a Product Launch like the Pros once and for all!
By the way, I live in Mexico so I’m affraid it’ll be very hard for me to afford your product if I’m not the lucky winner… Thanks!
October 19th, 2005 at 7:22 pm
Aanii Jeff
Wow! What a great idea giving away one of your products, and interestingly enough, that idea along with your use of the blog has sparked an avalanche of ideas for me. Thank you!
I want to tell you about how I have gone from a hired ghostwriter to the owner of my own Internet Business.
Now before I do I want to answer the number one question most people ask me: “Is that your REAL name?” The answer is… YES it’s my real name. J I am a Native American and received my name from the elder of my mother’s tribe when I was a young one.
Ok enough regressing.
Imagine for a moment that you have an elderly widowed woman as a neighbor who dressed in loud clothing and kept to herself. Out of nowhere one afternoon she came knocking on your door.
Now imagine that this unannounced visit became the spark that ignited a lifetime of work and pleasure for you. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
Well that’s exactly how it all began for me. I was attending college and working day and night trying to keep my head above water, when out of the blue my unknown neighbor dropped by for a favor.
As I opened the door I noticed her shaking withered hands clutching a piece of old paper. I invited her in and that’s when my life’s work started.
Betsy’s hands were withered from arthritis and age and she had heard I was a college student looking for some extra part time work. She inquired how my writing was going. Surprised that she knew that my minor was in creative writing I told her I was aware that writers didn’t earn a good living and I’d have to continue my psychology education for any hope of a good future.
At that moment she handed me the yellowed papers and told me to read them. Boy was I amazed. Standing before me was a once popular fiction writer. Our long friendship flourished and the rest as they say is history.
My career as a ghostwriter was born. I began with fiction stories and soon moved into the non-fiction how-to realm, which is where I discovered my passion.
I have ghostwritten over 50 print books along with more than 70 ebooks. The majority of my work has been in the Internet Marketing and the Self-help areas. I have spent years researching and testing premise after premise to see what worked and what didn’t so I could then find clients who would benefit from my style of writing and hands on experience.
Not long ago my passion pulled me to the prospect of developing my own products that would enable others to be successful in their areas of talent.
The first question I stumbled upon was; what would I have to offer others? So as I earned my living ghostwriting I began to spend all my off hours researching different niches to hopefully find one that would fit me.
After reading and implementing the advice I came upon in several Niche eBooks I realized I was coming at this question from the wrong direction.
Instead of trying to find a niche that would suit me, I should have been developing my talents into a new niche.
To make a long story short that is what I have done.
Today I am rewriting private label eBooks into new products that I can develop and sell. Each of these products is geared to showing people how to do this themselves.
For instance my first product is from an eBook about ghostwriters. I have taken that and turned it into a product that walks you through every aspect of developing your own niche products without having to write one word yourself.
I have learned from my most recent eCourse that your main income should be coming from your backend products. So I am rewriting another private label ebook to use as my first backend product.
I finished reading two ebooks on sales letters last week and yesterday I put the finishing touches on my first try at creating a sales letter for my main product. I rewrote the website that came with the private label product and uploaded it last night. I am now rewriting the sales page for my backend product.
Now finally here are my answers to your questions.
First I need your launch product to teach me how to properly launch my first of many products. From my experience of buying courses and trying the information out I have discovered that not all that is written about actually works on the Internet. Your product would help me to by pass the launch info that is incorrect and to implement what is working today.
Second you asked what I would do with your product. I usually go through the courses I have taken – one time — and then I go through them a second time taking notes. I then devise a plan as to how and when I am going to implement each of the tactics.
As I implement the tactics I keep notes and track my results so I can see if that particular tactic is working for me or not.
I want to thank you for showing us how you are utilizing a blog in your business. It has given me several ideas to try in mine. Today I signed up for two blogs, one is here: http://CreateeBooksNoWriting.abblogger.com and will detail my launch and growth of my first product. The second one is for my backend product and will be here: http://ican.abblogger.com
I will be writing the first articles for these blogs later this evening. My next product has to do with blog and ping marketing and how not to get blacklisted so as you can see the blogs will allow me to get first hand information that I will then share in another new product.
Another idea you gave me is to give something away. So I am giving away the original private label ebook that my first product is born from. This will provide others with a starting point for a product of their own that they do not have to write themselves. I have listed the website for my first product on your comment form.
I thank you also for your time and consideration.
Blessings,

Jeff,
I’m not going to give you a long sob story and try to convince you that my problems are worse than everyone else’s. The bottom line is that we all want your course and we all want to make millions of dollars. Why else would we be reading your emails?
After 2o years in the high tech industry my career came to a crashing end with the dot bomb crash. My steady, stable, high paying career disappeared overnight. Was I mad that I couldn’t find a job? Truthfully for a while I was upset and worried.
But a wonderful thing happened. I realized I had time to take my kids to school and drive on their field trips. I coached their sports teams. I became a board member on the school’s foundation that raises over $500,000 a year so our kids can have music, foreign language and PE in school because the state won’t pay for it. I’m now in my 10th consecutive year as a founding member of the school’s technology committee, helping them set up their computer networks. I helped pull computer wire to network the entire school district. And I’ve spent hundreds of hours voluteering in other ways in my community for the past 4 years.
Also I’ve always donated a portion of my income to charity. Volunteering my time made me realize that money isn’t everything and I should give even more. Now my wife and I donate at least 15% of everything we earn to the less fortunate.
What would I do with your product? I’m in the process of launching a coaching course called A Mystery Writer’s Life with best selling author Sheldon Seigel. We’re going to teach people how to become a mystery writer. Of course, we’re doing this to make a lot of money but we’re also going to let those who can’t afford it attend for free so they can have a chance at succeeding in life at something they love. With your course I can get the word out to more people which in turn will let me help more less fortunate people.
October 19th, 2005 at 8:04 pm
Jeff,
I am launching a product for a National Speaker in the Real Estate Investment Industry. This speaker’s product will be a huge success not only on the Internet but in other venues as well. I network weekly with around 150 entrepreneurs and this could turn into a huge business for me, helping them to be successful too. What a win-win situation.
Being an entrepreneur, I agreed to take a piece of the action instead of being paid a wage for my time. I figure with your course my income will not be limited. I NEED your Product Launch Formula and look forward to your email!

Hi Jeff,
Wow, you’re gonna have to read so many responses to choose the winner. But, I guess you knew what you were in for when you decided on this offer.
Well first let me introduce myself. My name is Anand Kumar and I am 14 years old. I believe my young age to be an asset that will aid in my learning of new things, and allow me more time to spend on things other than a job.
I am very self-motivated, and am always looking for ways to make some money. This isn’t because I’m a broke teenager, but rather because my family is going through some financially difficult times (don’t really want to go in detail). I often wish I could help out some, or at least make myself a little less of a burden on my dad’s shoulders.
I am work hard, but really don’t have enough money to afford your course and this is probably the only way I could get it. However, even if I don’t win I’ll try to save up my money to get it.
Anyway, back to the self-motivated part. Two weeks ago I was broke. My dad had given me $5 for lunch for Monday and Tuesday. Before lunch, however, I found a kid trying to sell his TI-83 calculator for five bucks. I used my money to buy it, and by the end of the week had re-sold it for $60. It was a good deal for $5 and two lunchless days. I then used some of the money I had made to buy a bulk package of candy at Sam’s Club. I sold it at lunch for a profit, while keeping my price under the school store’s. In the end, a teacher told me I could no longer sell candy at lunch, but in two weeks I have made around $110.
I personally am a complete noob to the world of ecommerce, and don’t know too much, but I have been working my ass off trying to learn more through out the last few weeks. I’m subscribed to around six free newsletters, many of which are junk advertising with tiny amounts of real information. I’m subscribed to your six in seven course, and have the stuff from the social proof call (I was unfortunately not able to get in to the actual call). I have around 50 free eBooks, audio recordings, etc. on my hard drive and am reading through them. I also actively pick up ideas for marketing from sales letters, and your product launch (I laughed when some where you mentioned you were holding back a few concepts in this launch so people analyzing the launch wouldn’t learn everything). Watching your launch alone, has given me many insights (I think your idea of giving away a free copy through a “merit” based contest is beautiful. What a great way to generate interest in the product, and the blog, how better to create a community?). And I have come to understand what you mean by making a launch into an event.
I do have an idea for a few products, ranging from magic tricks to new concepts in the game of chess. Your product would help me market my ideas, and without it I’ll still do ok. After all, I have learned from your lauch.
Your launch alone has taught me more than many other “guru’s” teaching materials, and I will forever be thankful to you for that. I really have taken to heart your words, “… if you find a truly successful person, there is much to be learned by observing that person’s habits, traits, and techniques.” (Issue #3 of 6 in 7). Even if I don’t win the launch, I’d like to take this opportunity to personally thank you for your effort. Although it may take me a bit longer, even without the package I know I’ll be successful in ecommerce, thanks in a large part, to you. Thanks!
-Anand Kumar
P.S. Sorry for the long post!

HEY JEFF, I AM GOING TO KEEP THIS SHORT AND SWEET BECAUSE I APPRECIATE THAT YOU HAVE TO READ ALL OF THESE POSTS [OR AT LEAST PRETEND TO].
WHAT I AM GOING TO DO IS GET MYSELF OUT OF THE DEADBEAT WORLD OF SALARIED SLAVERY. I HAVE BEEN TOO SCARED BUT NOW I AM PUMPED UP FOR SUCCESS.
TO BE TOTALLY HONEST, I AM FULLY COMMITTED TO BREAKING OUT OF THIS CELL OF ‘SECURITY’ WHETHER I WIN THE PRODUCT LAUNCH OR NOT. HOWEVER, BY GIVING ME THE PRIZE YOU COULD DELIVER A SERIOUS SPRINGBOARD FOR MY KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND DRIVE TO DIVE RIGHT IN.
MY FINGER IS ON THE TRIGGER OF A PRODUCT THAT REPRESENTS A COMPLETE PARADIGM SHIFT IN IT’S MARKET. I COULD TELL YOU BUT THAT WOULD NOT BE BUILDING ANTICIPATION WOULD IT??
I HAVE OPEN EARS, EYES AND OPPORTUNITIES. ALL I NEED IS FOR YOU TO GRANT ME THE PRIZE AND THE FORMULA WILL BE GIVEN SOME LAPS AROUND THE TRACK.
THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR GREAT WORK AND INSPIRATION.

Hi Jeff,
I am helping my wife developing an e-store related to fashion jewelry made with tagua nuts. (I guess I should explain what is tagua).
Well, then, here it goes. Tagua is a seed from a palm that grows on the humid forests in Ecuador and Colombia. It has the hardness, the appearance and the feeling of ivory, thus is also know as vegetable ivory. It can be died and sliced and more. Therefore, great products can be made with it - like fashion jewelry objects.
We are almost ready to pre-launch the site to receive some feedback about functionality and usability, and more, and soon after we will lauch publickly.
For the launch we have some projects (under development) to bring traffic. Although I feel our plan is complete and consistent, I believe there are many ideas and concepts that we could incorporate that we may not know, or know, but we are not aware of their power.
Thus, “winning” your Product Launch Formula will help complement our strategy and improve our chances to succeed.
The beta of the e-store is at: http://www.baloka.com/beta/balokaMain.html
Everyone, please notice that the site in the link above is a beta and as such is a work in progress (and probably I should not put it on a public forum), but what the heck…If you have suggestions for improvement use the contact us form on the site to help us improving it (with your constructive criticism). While there, take a look of our products and let me know what do you think about them. Also, think how they can make a great gift for your girlfriend, mom, sister, or… for yourself. Oops…shame on me for selfpromoting, but it is not my site is my wife’s…ja ja ja. (please laugh with me - or at me-, but don’t be mad with me).
The official website will be at www.baloka.com once launched.
Thanks and best regards,
Gilbert

Hi Jeff!
I love contests! We just finished running one where we gave away a cruise for two. I think it’s as much fun giving the prizes as it is receiving them…well, almost!
When we launched our first Internet Marketing business (WTPowers.com) our success came a lot from luck, timing and knowing some key people in our niche market. Our business took off quickly with realtive ease and zero marketing dollars. Well, as you know, times have changed and the Internet has become extremely competitive and fast-paced. Seems like everything changes about every three months, so very quickly “everything you know is wrong”!
Bottomline, it’s a whole new world out here right now and we are just weeks away from launching a new company we’ve been developing for the past year. It’s a very high-tech product in an extrememly competitive market place, and we’re up against the BIG DOGS like AT & T, Sprint, etc.
We still have our niche market but what we really need to make a successful launch is “the edge”. I believe your Product Launch Course will give us the edge we need to turn the Big Dog’s heads and show that little dogs can play too…and win!
Thanks for all you do!

Jeff, I need your Product Launch Formula because I’m giving away over $20,000 in the SEO Championship Challenge and I need to not only attract plenty of SEO pros and amateurs to the challenge, but then I can’t afford to miss a few steps and fail to maximize the post challenge product launch. Failure definitely puts me up a stinky creek in a leaky boat.
I’ve been a student of marketing online for a few years now and have finally put the procrastination and dreaming behind me. Affiliate marketing and repackaging info products doesn’t inspire me, and my creative juices boil too rapidly to spend my efforts on another’s creativity. I’ve found a niche where I have identified a valuable resource not now available that I can provide.
While I’ve boned up pretty well on product creation and marketing processes, you’ve awaken me to weaknesses in my marketing strategy, namely the processes associated with product launches and the social aspects of marketing. Needless to say your Product Launch Formula may likely make the difference between failure and my success. I honestly need and will appreciate your generous gift, and I will gladly repay your kindness with an inviting JV offer.
Thanks for the opportunity.

Hi Jeff,
From the Pacific Capitol of the World … Hawaii.
I need the Product Launch Formula for many reasons.
1. To help others succeed.
2. To create an income.
3. To maintain a succesful business.
I will use the Product Launch Formula to create a steady income to help with maintaining a normal life at home with family members and friends, thus helping others as well and into a growing successful relationship. I can get my hands on all the products I need to sell BUT I need one MAJOR formula and that is The Product Launch Formula.
If I am picked to be the winner. I will create an empire of friends for The Product Launch Formula.
Mahalo for your kind consideration.

I would use the Product Launch Formula to launch the (at last count) 10 products that I have being developed. The part where I’m weak is in actually launching products. The sales part of things. I can come up with ideas and products that are valuable and helpful to people all day long.
Things that work! I know because I actually use the products I develop.
Why would I want to do this? Well, I currently have two goals:
1) Get out of debt in the next year. I have approximately $100,000 of various debt that accumulated during my struggle with Hodgkin’s Disease the past two years. I want to pay this all off.
2) I’m in a competition with a few friends to see who can make a million dollars first
Regardless of whether I win or not I’ll get your course. Oops - maybe I shouldn’t have said that

Jeff,
I sympathize with the burden of making the decision about this contest. I’ve read each story and I’ve seen the pain, the needs, and the difficulties so many are facing. I’d like to change direction a bit and focus on *you* instead of *me*. After all, that’s what the best products –worthy of a great launch – do… overdeliver to the user, not just line the seller’s pockets.
Jeff, the guy you watch shaving in the mirror every morning will have a much bigger smile on his face on Friday because there’s no greater feeling in the world than helping others. I’m not just talking about giving me that free copy of your course, but helping all 200+ of the people before me… and everyone else like them… find success.
You have the opportunity to impact the lives and incomes of possibly millions of people by participating in the launch of TopTierInternetMarketing.com, a site devoted to the very best Internet Marketing resources on the planet. Not just the products that have the best affiliate programs, but the top 1% of products that truly rise above the noise of the same people with the same “earth-shattering” endorsements. By screening out the fluff, the hype, and the (quite frankly) useless products that shouldn’t be bought, we can give people a hand climbing the ladder of success. They need this site… and I need your course… to help their dreams come true.
I’m so confident that TopTierInternetMarketing.com will be successful in making others successful, I’ve already purchased the domain name, web hosting, and started generating content. Of course, when we feature your course on this site, it will bring you a flood of qualified, targeted visitors, eager to buy your product.
I know you believe in this new course, and have put enough valuable content into it to make it among the “top tier” of Internet Marketing products. If you truly believe in this product… and in being successful by helping others be successful… I’m just an email away. Let’s make this happen.
October 20th, 2005 at 12:01 am
Like you, I am in the business of helping other people become successful. My success, as a result, is just a great, big fat bonus! I am just starting out as a new entrepreneur and my mission is to help other entrepreneurs acheive their dreams. I suppose I have a “pass it on” philosophy - if I have gifts and talents, I want to pass them on help others be sucessful. Thanks for the opportunity! All the best in your product launch, Stephanie

Jeff,
I’m working with a company whose mission is to help athletes succeed. The company, which is nearing completion of pre-launch tasks, offers a series of products and services to help athletes promote themselves to their next level of sport. Among the awesome products and services is a specific step-by-step promotional system for athletes to follow; online and offline marketing tools for them to use in promoting themselves; scholarship money to assist athletes in defraying their expenses; and a highly unique rating system that is expected to revolutionize the athletic recruiting process. It is projected that this company is going to become the “Dow Jones” of the sports industry, not just in the US, but around the world!
Imagine an athlete saying, “They laughed when I said I was going to play collegiate and professional sports, but….”
Imagine a coach saying, “They laughed when I said I was going to turn the team with the worst scoring record in the school’s history around in a year with razor-sharp recruiting of awesome, unheard-of players, but….”
Imagine this company accomplishing its mission of helping athletes fulfill their dreams and saying, “They laughed when we said we could forever change the athletic recruiting process by using Jeff Walker’s ProductFormulaLaunch, but….”
No joke, you KNOW it’ll happen if we use your system…just give us the opportunity to PROVE it.
Thanking you in advance on behalf of athletes, coaches, and the company for your generosity!

Hi Jeff
Thanks so much for all your advice. I have been following this process through my mom’s subcription to six in seven. I am 14 years old and I am about ready to launch a new website I have created. I want create my own course to teach other teens entrepreneurship principles online. I am a go-getter and I know you can help take my business to the next level.
Why pick me? Well, I think that giving mne your course would prove once and for all that you are the true master of the Product Launch. If by following your course, I - a teenager :0) - can have a successful Six in Seven project launch then there can never be any doubt - with Jeff Walker successful product launches are virtually guaranteed!
I hope to have the opportunity to work with you!
Sincerely,
Rachel

Jeff,
The product launch formula is an idea who’s time has come.
To answer the question of why I should win the free copy. Because of my intentions of how I will use the knowledge.
There are thousands of people trying to figure out how to make money online. Many spend thousands of dollars and hours of time, just getting the run around - and not making any money.
What if they had not only a product to teach them how to launch a succesful product, but someone to help them do it?
That’s what I want to do. Learn the techniques that you teach, then turn around and teach others.
Because the important thing in life is not how much money you make, the cars your drive, or the houses you live in… rather it’s the friendships and relationship you’ve made and the impact you’ve had on other peoples lives.
Jeff, you’ve drastically changed the lives of people that you’ve helped launch succesful products. You know how that feels… I’d like to know how it feels too.
Thanks for your time.

Hello Jeff,
First of all, I think it’s great that your doing this contest, especially since it’s not random.
I will start this off by telling you a very short summery about myself. After putting in 3 years in College, I decided that I wanted to become an entrepreneur instead of a employee and teamed up with a friend to start a small business web site production and marketing company. Been an entrepreneur ever since I got the taste of it.
I recently discovered a business that helps people get money back from the government and insurance companies that they deserve. They offer a no cost service to everyone and every small business until they receive notice that they are getting money back. The commission rate is generous and the potential is huge. I am extremely excited about this business opportunity.
I found 2 other entrepreneurs that are interested in financing the small amount of start-up capital I need but I have not been able to completely talk either of them into doing this with me.
If I were to win the contest, I would use your program to come up with a more detailed business plan to launch this service and create “anticipation” for this service.
This I believe will convince my friends to team up with me and make our first million by the end of next year. (I just purchased a new house and sure could use a finished basement to work in and grass in the yard instead of mud

Hi Jeff,
I read your Social Proof transcript and the only word that i can say about is : “It’s Really Just Great !” (oop..too many words
Thanks for offering it for FREE as i’ve learn a lot from it. I believe that your new product which about to launch soon will also be a great and explosive product !
Keep the momentum rolling…

Hi Jeff, aren’t you amazing!
I NEED this course to see if there are any ideas for a bobby/craft pattern that men really enjoy making more than women but I’m having trouble wording my sales letter so that someone would want to buy the pattern because I can’t SHOW them a picture of it or tell them directly what it is because it’s so easy the average crafter could make one just by looking at it and that would defeat my purpose…so I was hoping to gain some knowledge that may help me to sell more of these things.
I started studying IM in Sept of last year but I barely knew how to turn a computer on so I’ve been spending 12-14 hrs a day trying to learn this but also trying to decide which way to go because there are so many aspects of this business that I didn’t know which way to go. I finally decided to stop reading and listening and DO something.
My website is at http://quickresultsthrume.com but I haven’t actually finished the behind the scenes stuff yet. I hope to have it up and ready in a few short days. I just learned today that my domain name is not too targeted so it may be beneficial to change it.
Anyway…I’d appreciate the help. I believe there’s a lot to learn in your course and God knows I could use it.:) I started not to write based on all the competition but then I thought hey, my future may be dependant on just one juicy morsel of information I learn from this course so, there ya’ have it.

Jeff,
I’ve been in the online marketing industry for 6 years. However, my target market or demographics reaches freebie seekers. For the first time, I’m branching out to launch my OWN product. I’m finishing up an ebook in a tight niche related to herbs. It encompasses how to grow them, propagate them, harvest them, and use them medicinally and their culinary uses. I can’t state publically everything the ebook will entail, but that’s the jest of it. I will also be offering an affiliate program for it as well after I give away 20-30 free copies after beta-testing is done. Although I own several businesses online (traffic exchanges, etc.), this is the first of my own real product that I have written myself and I’m truly at a loss on how to launch it other than the ideas you gave me at the “social proof” conference. Right now, it’s just an ebook, but I plan to expand into monthly newsletters, maybe weekly tips and tricks, etc. It’s not a high-end money producing product, but I have other ideas as well in more tight-niched products. With the knowledge of your course, I could finally focus on product selling of my own stuff, and not just services I provide for free.
I have the knowledge, the drive, and determination to make your system work for me and possilby help others. Basically, I just need ONE good course to get me started on my way to launching my own product for the first time. I think yours is it.
Thanks,
Jennifer Herold

Hi Jeff,
With the course you’re offering here, I’d use it to jump-start my business straight into the profit margins I need to recoup lost business. I finished putting together my first web site 6 months ago (I have 5 others to finish), and since then I’ve had to wait on other people to get things finished at their end. So I’ve lost 6 months of revenue from my web site due to the laziness of others. I’ve been pushing every single week to try + get these people finished! Not only am I not making any money yet, but I also have fees to pay for other services my website uses.
I’ve been frustrated beyond belief waiting for my site to be released, + this course would help me overcome the months of pain I’ve endured by allowing me to formulate a proven strategy, based on your information, to make the comeback I need.
Thanks.
October 20th, 2005 at 2:05 am
Jeff,
I have a nationally syndicated radio show (broadcast/satellite, not Internet) and am preparing to launch a backend membership/newsletter similar to Limbaugh or O’Reilly.
This isn’t a pipe dream or something that MAY happen; it’s already happening. Support staff is in place, audience is in place, credibility is in place, and everything is ready to go. Mailing list of 60,000…ready to go.
I think your techniques would work especially well with a mixture of radio broadcast, direct mail, email, web, and live events.
Thanks for your consideration,
David

Hi Jeff,
I am new to the Internet marketing game but have put up my first website recently. Please visit - I think you will like it.
I am very passionate about this subject and I hope to put up atleast a couple of hundred pages by the time I have finished.
What I want to say is that I think my niche is absolutely the need of the hour in the current world situation. Mankind now has the technical and scientific knowledge to either destroy the world or to make it a place where the majority if not the whole can live happy lives. But that requires that people should learn to control their destructive and irrational passions and learn to cooperate with each other.
I hope my website can reach out and in its small way help to transform individuals - one at a time - so that the world can meet the challenges that it is now facing. If I win this contest I will be in a better position to spread the message of Eastern Philosophy to individuals the world over.
If you are interested in learning more about this topic please read The Basic Writings of Bertrand Russell where the challenges and dangers which Mankind faces from itself are explained in detail.
I hope to make money through my website and through sale of my products of course. I am an entrepreneur like all the others on this page.
I hope I am not sounding too pompous but I really believe in my subject.
regards

Hi Jeff…
I am in the process of building a “work from home” website…to help others to earn money from home. I live in South Africa…and affirmative action is really big here…so jobs are scarce…no matter your qualifications. My husband upped and ran off with a 26year old woman from Zambia…he is nearly 64…and has left me in dire straits. At my age…getting employment outside of the home is “wishful thinking”…and…at present I am having to rely on financial help from my son. My son is also having to pay the installments on the house so I have a place to stay. I really need the course real bad…so I can make a success of working online…and helping others too…and getting financially independent.
I would love to have the course…but unfortunately will not be able to afford it…so I am Praying that I will be able to win it. I have written en eboek…in Afrikaans for Traditional South African Home Redmedies…and am in the process of translating the book into English. I have high hopes of earning some good money from it…as it is a little piece of South African History…but I do need to know how to launch etc.
I thank you for this opportunity to enter the contest.
Kind regards….

Jeff,
Hallelujah!!! You’ve read this far and haven’t passed out yet! Congratulations!
Thank you for demonstrating the magic of your generosity. Providing this opportunity is on it’s own a self perpetuating launch of stunning proportions. I’m cross eyed reading all these great ideas that deserve a pre-launch makeover by some once obscure genius named Jeff Walker.
My ebook “Victorious Underdog” began as my life story and quickly became a rapidly growing list of real people much more interesting than me and with truly amazing inspirations. I’ll bet you’ve got a story yourself that qualifies as a “Victorious Underdog”. That project and “Access2Billions” pale in comparison to my latest project which truly could be the raison d’etre of my life on earth…”The Priceless Art Project” is an idea that I could never claim sole authorship of (Ben Trexel, a brilliant musician called me for help one day)…besides, discussing the divine origin of ideas in this blog would be grotesque self indulgence on my part but now that I’ve let the cat out of the bag so to speak, I might as well divulge the gargantuan scope of this project and humble myself by sincerely asking for your able assistance.
The “Pricless Art Project” is a multimedia/arts event planned for kickoff in my hometown of Birmingham AL. The resulting DVD’s, CD’s and scripts of that live premiere event will become the catalyst for a worldwide educational symposium to stimulate, preserve and manifest traditions of local art and cultural exchange on a scale beyond our wildest dreams. And guess who will underwrite this multicultural art stewpot? None other than the great steamroller of monopolistic unity…Walmart! Crazy you Say? Take the mountain to Mohammed and choose “The Priceless Art Project”tm if you dare and get ready for the most exhilarating ride of your Pre-Launch Life!
Thanks for Your Consideration.
All the Best

Dear Jeff,
Thanks for giving me this opportunity to write directly to you.
I am from Malaysia, small country living with my beloved wife, 2 handsome boys & 2 gourgeous daughters. The elder is just 7 years young & youngest is just 16 months young.
To answer your question WHY I really needed the course simply because of my family. Every month I need to pay my bills (water, electricity, telephone, mobile phone, etc), car loan, study loan, house rent and the most is my credit card which I really do not know when can I really pay all of them.
Then come my mom, brother & sister. Next will be my community, many needy people out there which my dream I would like to help them out. Tragedy quite often happen nowadays even for us in Malaysia with the last year Tsunami happen still I feel bad because can’t help them much. Only a few dollar which I manage to put a side, that’s all.
Then I found this is my biggest opportunity in my life to help my self, my family, and my community, if can all around the world.
HOW I would use it, with ur product in hand, I will study and learn first your secrets. Then I will apply steps by steps your advise in order to make sure it will success. To cut short I will take advantage of your secrets as soon as possible in order to achieve my dream…I will not let you down.
With your guidance & my determination for sure success will come and after that I will teach & duplicate others.
Thanks.

Jeff,
I’m not an Internet entrepeneur - YET - with loads of websites needing help in a launch. However, I have recently started out to learn about ‘this Internet thing’, as I have an idea how to use Internet within my niche, which is rock mechanics applied to oil industry problems.
Let me explain: — I am a rock mechanics expert who has been working within the oil industry for the last 30 years. To my amazement the industry has not yet taken to hearth and use the technology available in rock mechanics to their advantage. Let me give you one example: During one year the industry drill some 50-60000 wells for exploration or production of oil. It is a well known fact that about 10-15% of the time it takes for drilling these wells is non productive time related to rock mechanics based problems like stuck pipe, lost circulation and other well integrity problems. It is difficult to put a monetary value directly on this loss, but it can be turned around and we can say the industry pays for 5-9000 wells that never get drilled! And by using rock mechanics systematically it is easy to reduce this problem by at least 50%, as we have shown in several occasions when we have been allowed access to the planning of wells to be drilled.
Then to my idea: The oil industry needs a web site that can, based on experience, point out for the industry how to implement this method systematically to their advantage. The website I am planning to establish will address this challenge in several ways.
First of all there will be a basic course in rock mechanics, discussing all aspects of how to gather the data required and how to apply this information within drilling, reservoir management and production to avoid serious problems to occur. How this course is delivered is not yet decided. The participant could be given access to the part of the web site where the course is residing, or it could be delivered to peoples email box, after paying the required fee. In both models the participant has to interact with the website, answering randomly generated questions regarding the lesson before they are allowed into the next lesson. This will ensure that people with only partial understanding is not let loose, to damage the reputation of rock mechanics.
Secondly there will be an area with public domain research reports within rock mechanics applied to oil industry problems, where the industry could get easy access to download them against a nominal fee. This will ensure that this information is not lost and that it could be more easily disseminated. In this section I am planning, together with good colleagues, to bring forward a topic at a time and discuss it to show how this applies to a particular problem or set of problems. This part of the site will be for members only, and there will be two types of memberships — the corporate and individual membership.
The third part of the site will be software to analyse rock mechanics related problems. This could be both in house developed software and advice on useful software made by others.
Last but not least the website will also be used as a vehicle for promoting our services within rock mechanics to the industry as well. Here we will help oil companies implement the methods into their daily planning, thereby riping the fruits of rock mechanics properly applied.
To start this site will take me at least a year, but I would like to start the buzz about the site as early as possible, building up the anticipation before the launch, so that I am certain to get a stampede of visitors and members the first days, using that to build a solid presence on the net, earning wads of money as a result.
This is my dream come true, and I would need a solid backing to achieve my goal. So when your ‘Product Launch Formula’ has pulled this off, I will shower you with prize and recognition.
Kind regards

Jeff,
OK, I’m sold, you got me at “when you offered a free course”. I hope you will be able to decipher out who truly needs your product for free.
Because of your honest and giving nature I have decided to buy your course.
I do not want a free course, I want to provide you with cash for your all hard earned efforts.
If this course is half as good as Reese’s course it’s going to be a steal.
I have bought so many courses this year and even went to a big seminar. Almost everyone in the industry is pretty much straight up. Why? because in this industry if you do not provide more than expected you will get returns. Honesty rules business or at least repeat business.
With the money back guarantees it is so easy to check out a product and determine the sellers true intention and value.
Intention and value is everything. I will not name names but some/few of the internet product providers have almost little substance in some of their products.
The honest product developers provide more than I ever could of expected.
I keep the good products and send back the bad, its that simple.
The good products have taught me so much and because of the degree of value received I will buy anything from that individual, again and again.
I’m sure, based on how I see you getting ready for your big day, you will be one of those truly honest providers that provide more than expected.
Take note all you soon to be product developers/millionaires.
If you really want to make the big bucks then provide your future customers with the best intention, value, information and products possible.
And when all is said and done, give some more.
I have to note that in no way shape or form do I know Jeff or have ever met Jeff. This letter was not designed to take away from anyone that truly needs this course for free.
I have a simple construction loan business and everything I’ve learned from this beautiful marketing business has more than tripled my business.
Good Luck

I believe in continuous education. In fact to Earn, we must first L-Earn. But it is not enough to L-earn, we have to apply what we’ve learned as well.
Why do I deserve to win this product? I believe there are many deserving people out there too, but the following are my personal reasons:
1. As an internet newbie, my success will create a compelling story that this formula works.
2. With knowledge gained from this course, I intend to launch a new website which myself and my business partners have just created. I will not reveal it for now, but Jeff, if you wish to know mor
