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.
Cheers,

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.

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,
Pat Hicks

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.

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

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
