Inspiring video. What I would like to know is whether a PLM can work with ALL industries. My background is in tourism marketing (offline & online). Tourism isn’t a tangible product. A product launch could be a new half day tour excursion or a new location for a hotel chain. I’m not sure that what you offer suits this industry. It seems to me to make quick money you need fast results. Tourism has a long pipeline as do other industries. If I wanted to use my 20 years of tourism marketing experience would your PLM philosophy work or does it require a manager to find businesses with fast selling products in order to reap the rewards?
P.S. I am watching Yanik and a couple of other extremely successful gurus in the IM arena. I’m testing a few theories so I’m extremely interested knowing more about your program.

Jeff, just clicked thru and watched. Where Im having a problem is with the payday and I know that may sound petty but I have made significant 6 figures per year before and even 7 figures on occasion. $18,000 does not thrill me. I need to know that those paydays that you mention in your own examples are reachable given this type of training. I assume the size of the launch and type of product will determine to some extent but what specifically were the arenas you had those paydays in and why did you choose to work with those clients. thx
[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: Well Jim, maybe you're so wealthy or jaded enough that $18,000 in a week and a half doesn't thrill you, but I can assure you that it still thrills me.
And what REALLY thrills me is when I see one of my students do it just a few weeks after he attends my training.
Jonathan has a young family, and the ability to make that kind of money... and MORE IMPORTANT, having the skills and knowledge to do that over and over - that will transform Jonathan's life.
Like you, I've had success. And yes, I've had some big paydays. And I've done some big launches. As I mentioned in the first video, I've even had a launch that did more than a million dollars in sales in ONE HOUR. But none of those mega launches was as important or as transformative to my life as my very first launch that did $1,400.00 total.
Because when I did that first launch, I learned that I *could* do it... that I *could* make money... that people *would* buy from me.
I also knew if I did it once, I could do it again and again... and I might even get better at it over time. Well, I was right. And I did do it over and over. And I did get better. And now I've gotten to the point where talking about a $1400 launch almost seems silly.
But it's NOT silly. It made an incredible impact on my life.
From what I've seen of Jonathan, a few years from now he'll look back and $18,000 will seem like a modest payday. But I guarantee he'll still remember it... becuase business is all about "baby steps". You need to start where you're at, and build on each success.
If anyone thinks they're going to start with no experience and have a $417,000 payday on their first deal, then they haven't been listening to what I'm saying. It ain't going to happen.
Jonathan understands that. He's building a real, sustainable business. He's been through one launch and gotten a very nice payday. That video was shot a few weeks ago - he's already involved in another launch, and he's got several more in the pipeline. I couldn't be more proud to have him as one of my students... and I couldn't be more proud of what he's done. ]]

ok, get to the how to’s
October 16th, 2009 at 3:12 am
Ok,
I like this one,
Hmmmm, where is that price tag?

October 16th, 2009 at 7:35 am
Very interesting. Of course I don’t suppose that guru’s that attempt launches with broken video players are growing on trees.
It will be great to see how one can attract clients going forward. In fact, I have a product that’s still in the R&D phase that I hope to launch early next year.
I look forward to learning more about PLM.
Thanks,
Michael Olsen
October 16th, 2009 at 7:51 am
I am finding these videos extremely interesting as most launches tend to make me feel Scam, Scam, Scam and I rally react to the funnel that everyone believes is so great. It is my belief that any launch must offer value and that high pressure tactics are plain wrong.
I really want to learn more about what and how you do this? So far I llike the way you present things. Keep it going!
October 16th, 2009 at 7:55 am
Great video, I didn’t know there is so many product launches happening that people are now hiring product launch managers, that’s pretty cool
In what market did Jonathan help do the launch?
October 16th, 2009 at 7:58 am
Ready to learn more on this
October 16th, 2009 at 8:25 am
I’m actualy pretty upset that I just spent 30 minutes watching 2 videos that did nothing but try to sell me on Jeff’s product! I know this guy knows what he’s doing, but come on, give something besides a pitch. I learned absolutely nothing which to me just ruins credibility. You gotta give something, at least one small trick, one trickle of info, anything besides a guy saying he used your formula and made money. I’m guessing that is why there is not much feedback on this blog, in fact I’ll be surprised if this post doesn’t get deleted. I’ve been in the IM business for years and I know Jeff has incredible products, great strategies, and a ton of skill and knowledge, but you need to throw a bone in there to get more biters. Sorry I really don’t mean to be disrespectful – hopefully you can use this feedback to make more money.
October 16th, 2009 at 8:27 am
This is Jonathan Drake… I’m the person that Jeff interviewed in this Case Study.
First, I just want to thank Jeff for putting on his Product Launch Manager Training. And I want to thank him for featuring me in this case study.
The event in LA was an amazing experience, and it’s made a huge impact on me and my family.
The launch we talked about in this video was just my first, but I learned a ton and I’m already working on several other launches. I keep seeing more and more demand for people who want their products or businesses launched.
One thing that didn’t come out in this case study is the story about WHY I became a “Jeff Walker trained Product Launch Manager”.
Here is the quick version:
I saw a neighbor families financial future taken care of through a simple launch. Not a million dollar launch but “only” $12k per month.
Without any sort of training I instinctively started to give my opinion (I was a Product Launch Formula owner already, so I had some ideas.)
That moment instantly changed something in me and I then realized that I need to share that experience with as many people, families and companies as I can through a product launch, because I know what a product launch can do for a family.
It truly was a decision that gave my (new) business tremendous long term stability. It has been a great last 3 months since coming home from the “beta”training and being so clear on the steps I am to take. On the several launches since this one I have continued to gain knowledge which I have rolled into my next launch
.
***Many Thanks to the other “beta” testers who were with me in LA. You’ve given me lots of great feedback…especially the Platinum Mastermind.

very interesting! Looking forward to learning a dood deal more.
October 16th, 2009 at 8:42 am
At first look, this appears to be too expensive. However, I am willing to stay tuned.
October 16th, 2009 at 8:48 am
OK now I’ve seen that Jonathan wasn’t as much of a newbie to IM as I assumed…
So fo rus real newbies the Q is can I afford the training
6 months into IM and I sure see great potential in the PLM as a career opportunity, but even $2500 is a price tag that I can’t stump up. Passion beyond belief but passion doesn’t pay the bills. I’m going to stay close to this one. I think that for Jonathan to pay the $25′000 price tag for the initial PLM training says that he is already an established marketer earning a great deal online.
Good on you

The PLM Training fit my business strategy perfectly
- I had already laid out a business strategy, but needed to accelerate the growth to hit my goals & timeline
- Then “POW!!” Jeff showed his plans for an elite PLM training for the first time in April
- I had no choice; it was the perfect next step; I didn’t need to be sold, I just needed to know it fit my objectives and that I could trust Jeff to follow through
I’ve personally worked with a dozen of the Product Launch Managers from the $25,000 Training
- We are a group of focused individuals that are taking action and implementing
Please don’t watch another video if you plan on buying some course, skimming a few pages of materials, and want buckets of money dropped in your lap
- You’ll just give all of the professional PLMers a bad rap
- We are part of an exclusive group that bring true value to our clients
The services we bring as Product Launch Managers is all about VALUE
- I don’t get involved with a client unless I believe in the product and the person. (The extensive client selection portion of the training is priceless!)
- The advantage is when a PLM helps their client see the offer from their customers’ perspective and truly helps pull out the value that matters and gets results. This is the “second set of eyes” mentioned several times by Jonathan.
Jeff consistently over delivers and I have full trust in his ability to transfer his “Specialized Internet Business Knowledge”
- WHY? Because I was there, I’ve seen it, I’ve got it, I’m using it, I’m expanding my business
Jump on board, sit on the sidelines and watch, or do nothing. Just make a CHOICE and then do it!
Thanks for all the hard work Jeff. I’m looking forward to seeing more all-stars get trained and join the group.
Gary
October 16th, 2009 at 9:41 am
I think what Jeff does is fantastic but I have to agree to some degree with Tracy’s comment above about this being more of a product pitch fest vs an informative launch that makes me want more.
I guess I’ve gotten used to guys like Frank Kern and Mike Hill providing solid, actionable content that gets me involved and makes me crave the next video. I don’t feel that way at this point with this launch.
Just my $.02.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:42 am
There are product launches like every week.. i know there is demand, because i wanted to hire a plm – but had no idea where to look.
You should have an official central website so that we can find plm’ers
and to see that they have truely gone through your training and not faking it.
[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: you're reading my mind... we're just a couple days away from releasing our directory site where you can find all the Product Launch Managers that went through our initial training.
In the meantime, with your permission, I'll pass along your contact details to via our PLM mastermind group.]]
October 16th, 2009 at 10:31 am
Re: the case study vid… one thing he said that didn’t seem to jibe (unless I heard it wrong)… “I’m not sure exactly how much value we brought to the project” and (I think I also heard), “I’m not really sure how much $$ in sales the launch did.” Not sure?!? I thought part of what you get paid is tied to the (actual) sales. If so, how can you not be *sure* how much sales ($$) the launch ended up doing? That sounds like a shaky JVing arrangement — no? Please advise. Thanks.
[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: the "not sure" part is that Jonathan is not sure how much the launch would have done if he wasn't hired as a Product Launch Manager. He knows what the sales from the launch were... but he can't put an exact figure on exactly what they would have been if he wasn't involved. Make sense now?
That aside, after seeing what went on in this launch and what they ended up doing... I'm very confident that Jonathan added a huge amount to the launch - way beyond what his fee was.]]
October 16th, 2009 at 10:41 am
I know the demand is there. I have been getting request for “internet marketing work.” In fact, a “big” company has contacted me to start doing some work for them next month (and I haven’t had the training yet)
I know I have your first product launch formula (or was it the second). How do I find out?
I can’t wait to find out what you have to offer Jeff. All your training is top notch. I hope the price is right!

October 16th, 2009 at 10:44 am
I’m very intrigued and can’t wait to see your next video.
October 16th, 2009 at 10:46 am
So is there a time limit for the JV profit sharing system? In other words, once the product is launched, is there more work to do on a monthly basis and more revenue coming your way? Or does it stop once you go through the initial launch?
The reason I’m asking is I’m planning a JV launch in a couple of months for a continuity program. It seems like the ROI for my time wouldn’t be too high if I need to continue to provide support for this.
Do you have recommendations for re-launching a product or a business that is already in place?
Thank you much!
Al
October 16th, 2009 at 10:56 am
Jeff,
I’ve been poking around/exploring/throwing away money/frustrated/and exasperated for 2 months trying to break into the IM business. My goal is twofold, retire my wife and build a business I can operate anywhere (I live in Montreal, Canada and want to move to the Caribbean). I’m 54 years old and have had several offline businesses and one successful but short-lived online business in the late ’90’s.
I like what I’m hearing though I must agree with one comment above about not throwing a bone. Your system appears to provide a career opportunity and for such you are probably demanding fees that may be beyond my means at this time but I am extremely curious to learn more.
BTW, were you IM’ing in the late ’90’s early ’00’s?
Thanks for taking the time to read my post and I look forward to your comments should you decide to reply.
Kevin
October 16th, 2009 at 10:57 am
Seems more like a story about a “lucky” break.
Sent an email? Really? Seriously?
I would have preferred a story about someone was able to market his “PLM” skill and have a customer reach out to him.
October 16th, 2009 at 10:57 am
I am interested in the training, But how much out of pocket is this training
Jeremy
October 16th, 2009 at 11:00 am
Yes, remind the client that the reason behind the launch is not solely to make money, but because their product or service can change people’s lives. Add value to it so to speak. The money will come as by product, but the reason is to change peoples lives.
October 16th, 2009 at 11:01 am
is there part3 and what’s the price of PLM?
October 16th, 2009 at 11:01 am
Hey Jeff,
Last year I wasn’t ready for PLF. But now I am.
Anticipation is making me wait – Its Slow Good!
Good Stuff!
Nick
October 16th, 2009 at 11:03 am
Okay, so from what I’m sensing is you would have to have gone through your prior courses to understand how to do this? And then be a part of your exclusive list for product/project launch managers? Do not take this as cynical I’m just trying to understand as a spanking newbie to IM how I can make this work for me. 25k? Nope don’t have it. As a matter of fact I went to e-bay to see if I could get your prior course but no luck already sold. So just trying to work it out and see how I can add that to my own overall plan.
October 16th, 2009 at 11:15 am
Pick the right clients. Pick the right clients. Pick the right clients. Pick the right clients. Pick the right clients. Pick the right clients.
Man, you nailed me to the Wall.
Off course. This is the “state of mind” I have been in on my own. But it’s SO nice to hear from you, Jeff.
NOW you got my attention – and I am looking foreward to see your video no. 3 ;o)
Best regards

Hi Jeff,
I thought this was new? Was interesting to hear that there are already PLM’ers readily available on the market that you taught. Ok, I completed a university degree for less than $25,000, so this must be some real intensive, market proven content. Unlike others here, I do not know what you have accomplished in the past on the internet, although if Jeff Johnson and Gauher Chaudhry think you are the best, you must be. I do like your straight-forward style. This is not meant to be a testimonial, rather, I would like to understand, when you intend to open this course, the content, the length of training and indeed, your involvement with us, after the training? Also, unlike others, I do not believe that a 100% online, distant learning course can be effective, if we do not have at least webcam/teleconference contact with the Meister himself; i.e You. How will this be structured?
As you can read, I am interested, you have my attention and I believe you have not only hit the vein, but I believe in you. Let us get on with it. I find this exciting and would even welcome you as an IM mentor, buddy.
Was “Brad” above, the Brad Callen?
Cheers from Leipzig,
Marty
[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: you have lots of great questions. I'm planning on answering them in my next video... that will probably be out Monday if I can get it done by then.
And yes, I trained a group of Product Launch Mangers in July in Los Angeles. We had an intense five-day training... most days were 10-11 hours long in the conference room, plus "homework". Some people were working on exercises until 2:00am. (And for people wondering if the Product Launch Manager Training is the same as Product Launch Formula - those five days were ALL new material - there was no review of Product Launch Formula.)
This is the way I almost always do things - I do a very small "beta" training that helps me refine how I'm going to teach the material. That way I end up with a MUCH better training system than if I tried to create it in a vacuum.
In any case, the PLMers that you see commenting were at that first training in LA. ]]
October 16th, 2009 at 11:19 am
How is this different from offline marketing for online business. In other words, consulting offline business’ on going online. This seems to be the newest rage with every “guru” pitching this now.

It is obvious to me that much of this hinges on the credibility that surrounds Jeff’s name and on the very title “Product Launch Manager.”
And that’s how it should be.
October 16th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I am working on a product I am about to launch. I stumbled upon Jeff Walker as a referral from Frank Kern. Wow I am blown away. I’ve decided to learn more about Product Launch Formula, launch my product and then become a Product Launch Manager and launch other peoples products. Just by watching the video I thought of several people who would genuinely love to pay me to launch them. I am wondering if you are going to include Product Launch Formula 2.0 as one of your bonuses?
October 16th, 2009 at 11:39 am
ok so what is the catch and how much???
October 16th, 2009 at 11:43 am
I’m learning just from his pitch alone so unlike some here I’m grateful. I have a marketing background and just the idea of generating emotion ANY EMOTION is a good thing. I can guarantee that everyone looking for “more” will be glued to their screen when the 3rd video comes out.
p.s. Jeff I have an offer for you and a testimonial I think will be awesome for your launch. Get in touch.
continued luck with the PLM launch!
cheers,
October 16th, 2009 at 11:46 am
Hi Jeff,
Cool stuff. I am seriously interested. Some possible cons though:
1. I thought you introduced Jonathan as a ‘newb’ but he actually had quite a bit of training and money under his belt before getting started.
2. I am full-time IM in consulting with small biz now, but just building the biz, so cash is tight. I like the consulting direction of this but I hope you will put your weight where the focus is in terms of your fee. What I mean is I would happily pay a percentage of my launch success income to you for training than come up with an upfront fee. In fact, I would rather pay you a bit more than might be ’standard’ for the added risk you take on. If you really know this works Jeff, and let’s face it, you don’t need the money, why not weight the program this way? And I’m not saying you don’t deserve the money — just that it will come if you can trust yourself and your students. (I know this may sound cheeky, but hey…nothing ventured, nothing gained).
3. I am interested to see if this can be rolled out to non-IM businesses. The Jonathan example was an IM product launch. Let’s see some application to off-line biz. I would need this to continue to give this serious consideration.
Thanks a lot.
October 16th, 2009 at 11:57 am
Hey Jeff,
I’m a guy who has been around IM since ‘97. I actually started strong and left for an aviation business – BIG MISTAKE.
Anyway, I’ve returned but have continued to buy and use products and keep a pulse on the IM world. I realize there has been a shift in the IM world and your PLM program actually does sound new, original, and unique. I hope it is something I can enroll in.
Everything so far sounds awesome but I’m anxious to get the full and complete story, including the cost.
Can you at least give us an inkling as to whether or not this training will be deemed affordable OR as you mentioned in the first video “Not everyone will join.” This kind of comment leads me to believe that although it won’t be 25K, it will still be several/multi thousand dollars.
Can you give us any kind of hint?
October 16th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
I am listening to the video and my question is he made all this money, but what were his expenses? how much profit was there after the 18,000 dollars paycheck??
October 16th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Hi Jeff,
Since you are at the phase where you are looking for what we want from this product, I will throw my 2 cents in. I’m a PLF 2.0 owner and made some money with my own launch, but am really drawn to helping other businesses succeed. One thing I notice is a lot of local businesses are struggling just to keep their business going, they have no idea how to market them and use technology to expand.
My partner and I started putting together a list of all the services we want to offer businesses and most of the list is technical/online marketing for offline businesses in our area, so your timing is great. We definitely possess the SIBK that can help the local businesses who don’t know enough on their own to do product launches. The thing is, they have so little SIBK, that they usually don’t have a list themselves because they never got around collecting emails or maintaining them.
Also, I want to help local businesses, not other internet marketers doing product launches. Jonathan’s case study was great, but he and the client already spoke the same IM lingo. Will you be able to show us a launch that a PLM did for a local business that is struggling in these times. A business that maybe didn’t have a list and doesn’t really have a product to launch? Maybe a restaurant, or ice cream place, or a local musical instrument store? That would be a great case study to see.
Thanks,
Christina
October 16th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
I really want to learn how to do this very badly. I do agree there were absolutely no “how to” bones thrown after watching two videos, but it sounds like there is very valuable training to create incredible success.
I am concerned that the price tag will disqualify me though because my income has steadily spiraled down as I am frantically searching for a the answer to my financial crisis.
Jeff, is there an option for training and paying for it with profits? I am so interested, but this seems like the only way I could begin.
October 16th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
WOW!!!!! and thank you, Jeff. It’s wonderful to hear about something that feels straightforward, respectful, truly value added.
October 16th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Jeff,
Thanks for the opportunity to look your offer over. I am just getting back into IM. I spent years and thousands of dollars in the past on junk that did not work and training that was useless.
I am looking forward to #3. Even if this turns out to not be affordable now, if it makes sense I’ll do it when I can afford it.
Again, thanks.
Tom
October 16th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Greetings Jeff,
I have viewed the videos and even took notes. I can see the value of what you are offering a internet career opportunity, PLM. I also see that you are a product of what you teach. This is an excellent product launch concept you are using. I see the big picture your product can provide to many people who have lost their jobs, financially struggling and need a new career opportunity to turn things around. I say to everyone viewing this information SEE and THINK BIG….
October 16th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
HI there my name is steve Out of all these years of internet marketing I never ever heard of product Launch managers availble for the internet Guru’s
Right now I’m involved into stompernet on how to use the tools, and all of a sudden this pops up from it I mean I hope I’m not doing a bad thing by being a fox, if I wana get involved into product Launch Manager?
I would like to know more information on it like
How much does it cost? is there a seminar anywhere around Detroit, MI that I can goto so I can learn more about it? How diffcult is it when someone is running a Launch? How do u know if you should take the job from the INternet GURU’S or not? how much is there to learn all of this stuff? How long of a time frame would this take to be a expert on becoming a product Launch manager, is it really really hard to do?
Would I have a coach? how do you know a good Launch from a bad launch?
How would I be helping the Internet marketer improve with his Launch? for better results? How long is this Product launch class for?
Please respond back to me with answers if possible
by the way great videos I appreciate your videos that are getting sent to me.
October 16th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Finally someone has put together an internet marketing program that you can apply to help traditional businesses.
I am a marketing consultant and have learned from the likes of Jay Abraham, Dan Kennedy, Gary Halbert, Richard Johnson, etc…The challenge is applying SIBK “specialized internet business knowledge” to traditional businesses. Hopefully the product launch formula system is the answer.
From what I gather from the 1st video of Jeff’s, when he went to the high powered networking event, when the other business owners found out what they do, they wanted to learn how their knowledge of internet marketing and the successes they’ve had can be applied to their businesses or practices (ie. a plastic surgeon) and yield similar results. I have a feeling this is how Jeff was able to generate those huge fees and this is why I am excited to learn more about this program.
October 16th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
Hi Jeff,
Very interested in your training, and I disagree with a couple others here that you’re not giving enough “free stuff”. Where you draw the free line is up to you.
One question. The only time I hear about product launches is when I get e-mails from you and the other gurus. Can you site examples of product launches in the real world, outside of internet marketing? I would love to see a long list that shows just how ripe the market really is. …Or, are we all going to work for Schmidt, Kern, Jenkins, and the rest?
Thanks,
Matt
[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: When I released Product Launch Formula in 2005 there were a lot of people that said "that's great, but it only works for gurus in the 'Internet Marketing' niche".
Well, I've spent the last four years proving that was wrong. Anyone who has followed me knows that I rarely talk about the great big IM launches - instead, I've published one case study after another that had nothing do to with the IM niche. For example, just look at the home page of productlaunchformula.com - http://www.productlaunchformula.com - and you'll see John Gallagher, who's launch was in the "edible and medicinal herbs and plants" niche.
I've published case studies in massage therapy, raw foods, writing love letters, working out, dating, teaching kids soccer, baseball coaches, corporate business systems, photoshop tutorials, the stock market, business coaching, estate sales, learn guitar, marching band accessories, certified testing tutorials, quilting, knitting, etc, etc etc... too many for me to remember.
If you're only hearing about launches in the IM niche, then you're only on lists that are in the IM niche. And you wouldn't expect those IM lists to be mailing you about launches in other niches, would you?
Since I'm a guitar player, I'm on a lot of guitar lists... and there's a launch going on in that niche almost every week. I'm also on some real estate lists... and there's a launch going on in that niche almost every week.]]
October 16th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
A very intriguing idea and if I am hearing what you say, the Product Launch Manager training is of value outside the realm of “internet marketers” and includes the whole arena of businesses that do not have anyone on board with this particular training. If true, that throws the doors of the market as whole wide open.
Is it fair to assume that one could also develop products of one’s own and market them utilizing this same formula?
October 16th, 2009 at 1:25 pm

Ok you have my interest. The cost to me is a big factor right now so to me it will depend on that. I like the concept and I am a life and business coach and would love to get something going for people and their launches so looking for the next video

Hi Jeff,
I am a commercial banker in recovery…I was in that biz for over 10 years, and literally was eating me alive!!! Seriously, my stress level was so high that I ended up at the hospital several times. Well, couple of months ago, I decided to pursue my goal of becoming financially independent, and decided to go on internet marketing, and have found so much information, that sometimes is overwhelming, but I have found that if I focus just on the outcome things will happen. Any way, look forward to hearing more about your product. I truly believe there is a huge market out there for PLM.
Cheers

Hei Jeff.
A few quick questions:
1)do you need the peroduct launch formula course before ypu can realistically take this.
2)will you cover enough product launch materials so that this is a stand alone,3)will you have any kind of apprentice/mentor eatures where on can learn and earn, ie, you take,say, 50% and we get 50, then we graduate and we are on our own or we move to a more lucrative arrangement with you ,, say, 25 % to you and 75 to us. Maybe Junior and senior partners based on learning and expereince. Just thinking 4)will you think of having a clearing house for potential or real contracts, for a fee, obviously? 5)Is a smart, quick 65 year old too old for this market? ay, just kidding. I am a bright and creative guy. Thanks. I look forward to the next video , Robert

this is top notch. when we start to get our head around the fact that even as little as WE think we know, it still maybe light years ahead of what some businesses up and down the street still know. in the end, knowledge is still power!
October 16th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
I am new to the IM business. I would love to here about this.
Thanks,

Jeff, will the product be delivered digitally or as a physically shipped product?
We have so many issues here in Brazil to receive foreign materials. You have no idea. A 60% tax rate is applied to every product that contains cd/dvd and which the priced is more than $50.
This means that if anyone sells a $100 product, it will cost us $160.
Best,
Rodrigo.
October 16th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Jeff,
I have a high end sales background, I’m now looking for something in the IM field- this is the most interesting item I have found. I know that confidence can really make the difference when it comes to any profession, people hire, buy from people they like, that can add value. I know with the right training I can add the value, please tell me where to sign up, I need to start a successful business and I can see this going nuts given the right energy. Thank you and please contact me.
October 16th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Hi Jeff,
question 1 – What value would someone get who has already got a lot of experience in doing launches and has had several successful launches? Since i could consult and manage someone launch based on my own experience already. And i have been through the PLF course
Question 2 – how long would it take to get clients, where would we find clients, and how easy would it be to convince someone that one could manage their launch for a hefty up front fee?
thanks
JG

October 16th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Hi Jeff,
Just wanted to say that your stuff works! I have used PLF concepts for launching my own products, helping some offline businesses launch campaigns and now starting to consider the Product Launch Management arena. This came to me at exactly the right time…can’t wait to get the package.
October 16th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
To be quite truthful Jeff, I have never heard of you so watching your videos is very interesting to me. As an outsider to this business so far the videos have not given any information at all on your course.I can see the advantages to the knowledge however at this stage I would not even consider doing it on the videos I have already seen. Not saying your course doesn’t work just saying at the moment it is only tailored for people in th know and who knows maybe that is your target market. All the best. ROBINA
October 16th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Looking good Jeff! You really provide a great amount of value and though I may not be interested in this for myself, I do have a few students who I believe would have great success in this field.

I help quite a few businesses, online and offline gain an internet presence. This opportunity will help me take my business to the next level. And boy am I ready for that!
Thank you Jeff! I look forward to the next video.

looking forward to the next iteration.

October 16th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
Tim did a great job… and I am looking forward to the next video! Thanks Jeff!
October 16th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Jeff,
You mentioned in one of your replies that you’ve published case studies in a variety of different markets outside of the IM niche. It would be great to see some of these. I think a lot of us are now targeting the local business scene and/or don’t want to be in the IM niche and would like to see some more examples of case studies that appeal more to us.
Any chance you could add these past case studies to the blog?
October 16th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
Hey Jeff love the video very helpful I had the great pleasure of meeting you this year in San Diego. My key questions are:
1. The majority of your product launches, that I have seen so far, are structured for online sales. Do you also include offline product launch strategies for businesses who are not predominantly online?
2. Do you cover in the course the main clients/niches/industries that you target and that you have found to have the highest take-up rate for product launch managers?
3. I also know that many of the top product launches are highly geared towards JV partnerships and the top affiliate marketer’s lists that they bring to the launch. How is the new FTC ruling going to impact on your product launch strategies currently being used and do you have new strategies that will solve the obvious concerns out in the market place?
PS. Brilliant product launch you are doing for your own personal launch Jeff(anyone who is smart will be using this as their own personal tutorial). Thank you for demonstrating how a product launch should be done. It is beautiful to watch your own launch in action.
Cheers

Great concept. I like seeing your connections. They add credence to everyone who is in the IM game. I probably won’t be able to afford your course but I would be interested in a JV with some of your students or yourself. Then I would be able to buy the course.
I am looking forward to the next video.
Thanks, Ron
October 16th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
Jeff, it sounds interesting, but is there special internet knowledge necessary to take the course?
October 16th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
I have actually had someone local to me contact me from a web search wanting to do a product launch. If I had a bit more confidence and a little knowledge I would have said yes. I passed and later touched base with the business owner. The launch was pretty local to the greater Tampa Fl. area and still did about $50k in sales. After seeing what the guy he ended up hiring did I was kicking myself as it was really just glorified optimization mixed with a little local buzz marketing. Anyway he was offering 15% of the gross initially and I would wager in hindsight that there was no more than 10 hours work involved. That breaks out to $750 hr which is a tad bit more than I make now.
Count me in.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
I have never heard of being a “product launch specialist”. I have been in the real estate industry for 25 years and to be honest, I’m burned out. I have a beautiful 2 year old – and this business sounds as if (now sometimes things are too good to be true…But sometimes, they are not) I may be able to be a full time mother and part time type of business woman, rather than the other way my life currently is, part time mom, full time work fanatic. I hope this is something that may help me get out of my debt (from great real estate days past) and to allow my life to flourish as a first time mother.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:13 pm
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the second video.
I’ve no doubt that the young man in your case study did manage to pull a “big pay day” off in this particular instance. I also don’t doubt that he will go on to land many more big pay days when consulting and working with other I M gurus (big list owners).
The only problem is, as I see it…
How are any new start up “P L M’s” going to have any clout outside of the “I M” guru’s arena if they cannot use the “TRAINED BY JEFF WALKER” credibility factor which is obviously being constantly used to great effect in the I M guru’s arena?
Food for thought.
Thanks

October 16th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
Sounds really interesting even if it teaches me how to do my own product launch effectively.
Thanks for the link and look forward to your next video.
All the best

October 16th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
While learning Frank Kerns system, this exact idea came to me. I have already started helping people I know with their launches. I have special knowledge that they don’t, and I’m just starting out.
Thanks Jeff. Looking forward to the next video.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Awesome video !! Can’t wait until the next one comes. This one was inspiring !!
October 16th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
For those of you worried about the price, I understand exactly where you are!
Just about a year ago I was recovering from cancer and had nearly $500K in debt. I had come very close to dying, in fact, my family had been told I was not going to make it and they should plan my funeral twice! But I did make it.
I was faced with BK, but I could not file….I don’t know why I couldn’t, but I just couldn’t bring myself to put my name on the paper, nor could I bring myself to apply for SSI. So, I had some past success in IM, but I was broke.
I bought PLF on the installment plan with $900 in my bank account and pretty much started doing launches for other people in Feb.
By June I was able to comfortably pay for the PLM event in LA, and I now have EQUITY ownership in several sites that make hundreds of thousands of dollars. I’m probably the only guy in the world who’s made nearly $500K in a year and doesnt have much to show for it, but I don’t have any more debt.
Taking that installment plan was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done as I had no idea how I was going to pay it…I just knew I would.
Anyway, to anyone thinking you can’t do this, you really can. I have offers for multiple launches every week now and actually ignore probably 70 to 80% of the offers I get at this point. Not turning down 70 to 80% of the offers, just ignoring them mostly because, even though many of them are great offers, they don’t fit my criteria.

October 16th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Both videos 1 & 2 demonstrate Jeff’s skill at pulling people to his program. 1 = There is a need for product launch management – I can fill it and look at the rewards. 2 = Other people have also benefited from this gap in the market i.e. the case study. 3 should be WIIFM and can I do the same and 4 will be the sales pitch and cost.
Jeff is obviously a very accomplished marketing professional and well respected in the industry.
I hope that when the course is launched it is not too expensive or can be split into incremental payments.
I would also like to know if the course is suitable worldwide?
October 16th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
I made a statement to many of my friends, that I would earn US$60,000 by the 30th November 09, and return to my beloved Thailand to buy a condo.
They all laughed and still are, but after seeing the two videos, my resolve is stronger than ever. These videos are by far the best I’ve seen, and I have done a lot of research. I want to get on the Jeff Walker game plan. Looking forward to the next episode.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
Hi Jeff,
Very interesting videos. And interesting comments written. My question is this…I have been more focused on affiliate type marketing instead of actually coming up with a product myself. Can someone from that end of the spectrum “get” this. I have always wanted to get out of the affiliate market and I see this as a great opportunity. I do have to agree with a few of the others in that cost will have a definite impact on whether this is even possible for me. I am looking forward to the next video.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
Needless to say, I’m curious about next episode. However, understanding that Jeff obviously has all these series of videos already done, I do have a question: Is this way of making us wait part of the psychology and strategy behind a launch?
In any rate, Jeff has sure got my expectancy.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
O.K. I get it. This is crystal clear to me and I have not doubts this can work. I do have a strong sense the price will prohibit me going further, but that is yet to be seen. I have two important questions:
(1) from the bombarding I have received over the last few years, obviously a lot of IM use some form of ClickBank templates to market their products. Is PLM a sophisticated, and hopefully more palatable, approach to marketing a product, in other words…takes some of the cheese out of the cheesy marketing approaches that are out there? and
(2) What if I find a client that has a GREAT product, but is just starting out or hasn’t done the leg work to build a great list…can this approach help that person increase sales where he/she has no list?
Thank you.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
Ok. I’m stoked about the product launch manager training. Get me more info please…
October 16th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
Hi Jeff!
This is looking really exciting! I was in your PLF 2.0 course. Loved it!
Thank you for all the good work you do.
Cheers!
Jeff
October 16th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
I’m doing this a$$ backwards, as I have clients, too many in fact and now just need the PLM system to make them as successful as possible.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
You definitely peaked my curiosity. I would like more information as well.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:03 pm
Please translate exactly what “10 days worth of work” means. How many hours were you working a day. What type of activities were you doing in that time? Is this something that can be done part time or are you totally committed to the launch, with little time for anything else, during that time? In other words, if you have a day job is this something that would be worthwhile to do?
October 16th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
I definitely “get it.” It’s funny actually, I was telling a marketing friend of mine a few weeks ago that the need for performance based marketing assistance is really needed. Hmmmm…LOA at work.
Although marketing isn’t my passion, personal empowerment is and maybe I can gain some great stuff that will elevate my love for marketing or at the least perhaps meet a great PLM myself.
Great videos Jeff. Thanks
October 16th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Seems like you are going to try to teach me to be a consultant. Your first group had hands-on training with you personally at their side. A multimedia course can present the information but not the subtle non-verbals that go into every major sale.
Very few people can learn to consult effectively and lucratively. I am surrounded at my local Starbucks by lots of consultants out of work right now! And these are guys and gals with years of battle-scarred experience. The joke is they are almost to a person wanting to enter Internet Marketing to avoid working with clients directly ever again! So it seems that “the grass is always greener on the other side.”
October 16th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
Great video… excellent backdrop,good lighting, nice soft sell… perfect example of PLF!
Inspiring! Thanks, Karl
October 16th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Is it just me or did Jonathan not seem satisfied with that $18,000 payday? Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure most here would take it, but it sounds like what he gave the company should have been worth somewhat more than that. Either way, I can’t wait for the next video, this looks great.
October 16th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
What’s it gonna cost JW? I wanna know! Hit me back! Thanks,

October 16th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
Do I have to have to know the product launch formula to be a product launch manager?
October 16th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Kevin Wilke recently put out a similar video about attracting local businesses and giving them an online presence.
I’ve always wanted to get into one of your programs (PLF) but it has been extremely prohibitive financially (hey, any way I can pay you based on the results of my first two or three deals??? The same way these “Guru’s” will pay me?). To be honest, I’m nervous about just how prohibitive this training will be.
My question has to do with the math in your video. If it cost Jonathan (great success story, by the way) 25K to attend your course but he made just 18K (in 10 days no less), he’s still in the hole. (How impressed would his wife be, especially with a young family, to see he’s still down 7K and their kids need school supplies or whatever?) Is my math wrong? Not trying to be a smartass, just curious… If it’s going to take me 12 months to recover my costs, it may be a venture worth passing on, although I wish it were not.
I’m hoping the pricing works out for me, but as a back-up I’m also curious to learn more about Kevin’s program (the sales video, by the way, actually helped me land my own “first client,” so Jonathan’s video is very inspiring).
Thanks, Jeff, always love your content and please deliver the dream-shattering news of your pricing with the most-gentle blow possible
Chris
October 16th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
Jeff, you have definitely peaked my interest, but can a semi-retired computer dinosaur have any success as a PLM? Looking forward to any future information! Am focused on future paydays. Thanking You In Advance, Bill
October 16th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
How do the numbers work to make this an attractive business? What if we pick a readily identifiable market to target for our services and go to ClickBank to find our target customers? “..ClickBank is a secure online retail outlet for more than 12,000 digital product vendors…” Following the 80/20 rule, let’s say that 20% of them are able to successfully launch a NEW six figure product each year. (Many others will launch, but theirs will be smaller, or unsuccessful.) That’s 2400 six figure launches each year. Since these are the already successful folks who have launched before, let’s assume that only 20% of them are willing to hire a “rookie” product launch manager like Jonathan. That’s a total of 480 potential clients. There are already at least 12 PLMs out there and let’s assume there will be another 100 certified this year. That is a total of 112 PLMs for 480 clients. That is only 4.3 “potential” clients per PLM. Even if each PLM is successful at landing every potential client, at $18k per potential client, (4.3 x $18k), that equals only $77,000 in potential revenue.
Furthermore, the business does not appear to be protectable from either new competitors or the customers. There is no limit to how many folks can be “certified.” And, once the clients see what you do, what will stop them from doing it themselves next time?
Jeff, you have a great reputation and people I respect like Frank Kern say great things about you. This business, however, doesn’t look very attractive.
[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: You forget one thing Dan... for every vendor on Clickbank there are 10,000 other businesses. And most successful businesses will do more than one launch per year.
The reality is that instead of guessing at theoretical numbers based on one affiliate network, the best thing to do is look at reality. And the reality is that the people who are running launches right now have way more business coming at them than they can handle.
Another way to thing about this - how many CPAs are there? How many CFPs are there?
With regards to clients not wanting to do it themselves the next time... that hasn't been my experience. Of all the clients that I've worked with, every one of them (with one exception) wanted to hire me a second time.]]
October 16th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
Sounds great, I am looking forward to the next video.
October 16th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Hi all, as another of the Orignal PLM’s from LA.
It’s great to see all this interest in what PLM’s do…
As Brandon stated above “to anyone thinking you can’t do this, you really can. I have offers for multiple launches every week now and actually ignore probably 70 to 80% of the offers I get at this point.”
And this is entirely correct, there is demand, its up to the individual as to what you do with it…
Since LA, offers have been hitting my inbox from day one, literally, some good, some bad, it really depends on what you see as good or bad, but I can safely say…this is one heck of an opportunity…
Either grab it with both hands…or click though, buy another widget…learn something else, then blame ‘that’ product for you not taking action.
Or, study PLM hard, and we’ll see you on the inside…

October 16th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
I’m very impressed and excited. Both videos were inspiring. Can’t wait until the next one, but I guess I’ll have to.
October 16th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
I’m an IM newbie and not even up with the industry terminology. In fact, I’m not even an IM in the truest sense. What I need to know is the following three things:
1. Is the prerequisite for becoming a PLM, one who has previously completed the PLF?
2. I know you have mentioned that all of the material is new, however, do I need that in-depth knowledge to be able to understand all the new material?
3. I’m half a world away (geographically) – is it even worth me pursuing any further?
Please… satisfy my curiosity. Thanks in advance.
October 16th, 2009 at 11:43 pm
Nice video.

October 17th, 2009 at 12:11 am
I have to keep my excitement to a minimum at this point. I really like the sound of this product and can see the real potential it involves and gives the consumer. I am a father of 2 little girls and married, my wife works full time I take care of the kids and I am disabled to boot. I am anxiously waiting to see the next video to only be let down that there is going to be a price tag that I can not afford. When the question is between feeding my kids and buying this course, fortunately for you Jeff, and me it will almost certainly be, i will not be able to buy it.
I have determination, drive and desire. along with optimism and perseverance I will make it online, I was just really hoping that this course would be it. 2 videos no price tag, it is a shoe in that i won’t be able to be in.
I will watch the next video because I will learn every little bit that I can from these, and the launch, to get whatever I can from them.
Thanks Jeff,
looking forward to your next video.
October 17th, 2009 at 12:11 am
Jeff,
I’m looking forward to your next video with all your information on Product Launch Formula Manager. Congratulations Jonathan, great job!

October 17th, 2009 at 1:04 am
Jeff,valid reply to my first email. Definitely did not mean to demean the $18,000 profit in any way. Also did not mean to imply that a smaller payday was not significant. It is and Jonathon is to be commended. it also validates your training.
However i thought there were some good questions in there that, although apparently conveyed badly the first time, still need to be flushed out. Thats why you put this question blog in place.
There are several of us, and I have read every question,that are inquiring about the upper end of the potential for this PLM course. I still remember my first check for $1000 back in 1998 and it was big to me too. Now in 2009 I am asking you to demonstrate or flush out the percentages and potential for these more successful launches. I simply wouldn’t be interested in a lower 6 figure yearly income. It doesnt make me greedy or jaded. i am intrigued no doubt. Flush it out Jeff. Make it real. Bring it home. We’ll be waiting.
October 17th, 2009 at 1:58 am
I’m kinda almost accidentally doing the same thing now. In a conversation with a friend talking about something he’s planning, I was able to come up with a few ideas and pointers based on what I already knew from PLF. Who knows – after watching this I may end up suggesting a ’second pair of eyes’ myself!
Yes, definitely there’s demand. I’d like to know if the course includes templates for contracts and all the legal stuff so you can use them to lock down the deal.
October 17th, 2009 at 1:58 am
As always, a very good interview. I can only guess you’ve got some more fun stuff coming through for your product launch on PLM.
October 17th, 2009 at 3:09 am
I love the sound of this and can’t wait to see the next video.
Internet Marketing has always been of interest to me, but I’ve been so put off by it with all the get rich quick schemes and underhanded tactics which make the whole business just seem seedy. I want to be a professional and to provide real value to businesses and it really seems that your course provides all that and more.
I can identify with Brandon Frederickson in a previous comment as I too am in a similar financial situation as he was initially due to ill health and I’m also a single parent which makes things very tight with both time and money. I want all this to change for the better.
When I have all the information I will be strongly considering joining the course and becoming a PLM.
Frances
October 17th, 2009 at 6:42 am

The first 2 PLM videos have hit the spot with me. The logic is great and I concur that their is a huge demand out their for trained PLM’s.
Looking forward to the next video – and The Launch.
Cheers
David
October 17th, 2009 at 6:46 am
Jeff has done it again! I bought PLF and that has transformed any product or service I bring out by at least 300%. I imagine PLM will be around the same price as PLF but I tell you from now it is worth the investment, don’t thing to much about the investment thing more about the results that you can achieve from it!
October 17th, 2009 at 6:49 am
keep me updated.
October 17th, 2009 at 7:17 am
Looking forward to the next video!
October 17th, 2009 at 8:09 am
I have noticed that your service is a lot of key knowledge on the launch process is that hold true for any type of website or just basic info and sites /products?
October 17th, 2009 at 8:58 am
Hi Jeff,
I own the original PLF and have watched these two videos. I’m interested in learning how to help other people bring their products online and be successful.
However I don’t want to work in the internet marketing niche. No offense but a “Jeff Walker trained PLM” would only mean something to someone in the internet marketing niche. How would you convince a potential client who has no clue about launches and how valuable having a PLM would be?
I do want to pick the “right clients” as you said, but does that mean only clients in IM that generate million dollar launches are valuable?
October 17th, 2009 at 9:14 am
Looks very interesting and I’d really like to know more details but I think the key point would be the cost of it.
Jeff – It will be interesting to see if you will be ready to have the cost paid as a risk sharing model if the course would be that good, and each participants will be able to land a client and make such great paydays while paying you some commission that will cover the course results, It will prove that you really and truely beleive in the stuff inside. WDYT?
You can also reply to my mail
October 17th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Hi Jeff.
Been following you for many months. What I’ve seen is incredibly impressive.
As impressive as it is, I see that you’re MISSING a huge market and would like to discuss with you. This market would crush the barriers between internet marketing and the rest of the world.
Got 30 minutes?
You’ve got the e-mail.
Let’s discuss how to Multiply your success 10 fold.
October 17th, 2009 at 10:10 am
Hi Jeff,
Great videos! I am in the middle of a soft launch right now and would like to have a full on launch by January 1st for our weight loss product.
How would I go about finding and hiring a Product Launch manager that has been trained by you?
Thanks!

[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: I'm very very close to releasing our Product Launch Manager Directory... basically it will be a directory of the people that have been through my training.
You'll be able to go to that site and find a PLM. Right now there's not very many, since we only have the folks who went through my original training this past summer. But you'll find some amazing people there.
In addition, most of those PLMs are reading this blog, so some of them might contact you if they've got any room in their schedule.]]

I just want to learn this to launch my own products. I have 52 websites with many products and services. Can I learn this and just do it for my own ventures? Or should I just break out my checkbook and hire the specialist?
October 17th, 2009 at 11:00 am
I am running a laziness consulting business, and one of the services I will offer is product creation and subsequent launches.
“Leverage” is one of my core principles, and a lot of people don’t know the value of their knowledge.
This is the exact system I am thinking of!
Particularly interested in choosing the right clients, and negotiating terms.
I don’t want to waste my time and efforts. And don’t want to get screwed either.
October 17th, 2009 at 11:03 am
Great Info! Look forward to the next video!
October 17th, 2009 at 11:32 am
Hi Jeff,
Inspiring stuff, truly. As an filmmaker who has a day job to support my art. I can begin to see how we might be able to use our talents to help people with their launches. And I figure if I can help others with launches, I can use those techniques to launch our own products as well.
I look forward to the next video.
October 17th, 2009 at 11:49 am
I am really interested in this, and would love to see more women in this business. My husband is out of work, and the cost would be a significant factor in buying the program. Otherwise I will continue to learn and learn and learn on my own!! Moms and women do a lot of internet purchasing and I think it’s a great area to focus on.
October 17th, 2009 at 11:58 am
Great Videos….Looking forward to the next one and all the details on the training!
Tell Jeff to accept my friend request I sent him a month or so ago, lol
Cheers,
Troy Denman
October 17th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
Looking forward to the next video. Great stuff, very interesting!
October 17th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Hi Jeff,
I was inspired by the 2 video’s, but was wondering, i have no knowledge of internet marketing techniqes or how they work, would i be able to learn enough in this course to still become a PLM? And also, would this apply to mlm and traditional companies that are not online?
October 17th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
I’ve been trying different things in IM, but to be honest I don’t really want to mess with lists, domains, autoresponders, hosting, websites, etc. Something like this is really appealing to me. I’m looking forward to the next video.
October 17th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
I find it great when someone is just getting active, using what he has learned. I got to know quite a bit about Internet Marketing and still I guess I would not go out and sell it – there seems to be a blockage!!!
So am going on to read, listen, implement whatever I can….. Now, I am only promoting my website and certain products.
Thanks Jeff to have given us the oportunity to watch this video.
Christa
October 17th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
I have a service business now, but I realize a lot less leverage than I would with your program. I want to know more. I also have a launch I want to have experience for doing. I want to optimize my launch.

Dear Mr.Walker..
I just finished watching your 2nd video!! And to tell you the truth, I have the worst case of butterfly belly ever Experienced by a human in the history of the planet.
I have never wanted to get involeved in something as bad as I do. Watching this has given me hope.. hope for me, my husband, but mostly my 3 children. Life is not good for us right now, And im more then positive, if you teach me your knowledge about this oppertunity, I will, For the first time in my life, LIVE!!! Even as a child I had near to nothing. I dont want my children to live the same way! please, please, Ill do anything, just teach me what i need to know..
yours truly
Kayla..
October 17th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Hello Jeff:
I received an email from Frank Kern regarding your PLM. I have not purchased any of Frank’s courses because I am already committed to studying and then implementing a number of courses I’ve already purchased and committed my time and effort to.
Having said this, I watched your videos #1 and #2, and quickly came to appreciate the detail and exceptional continuity of these two presentations.
Note: I had purchased a “marketing licensing” WSO course on Warrior Forum, which was interesting, however the lack of continuity and thoroughness left much to be desired, particularly in regards to its omission of a viable “licensing agreement” template.
After watching your videos #1 and #2… I am looking forward to reviewing what your presentation will be in video #3.
Positively,
Alan
October 17th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
Thanks, Jeff. When you announce your price, I hope you will have a payment plan, cause otherwise many of us will not be able to afford it.
October 17th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
Jeff, you are amazing! Thanks for walking your walk – you’ve already given me a huge take-away in the videos and I look forward to much more!
Brilliant!
Sophia
October 17th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
THIS looks like a great fit for me if the price tag isn’t too hefty, however, with all the IM gurus out there pitching their get rich solutions, my head is swimming and I don’t know where to start and there always seem to be thousands following them so I keep thinking there is going to be something like the dot.com bust where every thing just crashes. I get the same feeling with this, if there are thousands of PLM’s pitching the same thing, doesn’t the market get saturated quickly?
[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: There won't be thousands of PLMs. As anyone who's followed me can tell you, I limit things pretty severely... I've done it over and over in the past (ask anyone who's tried to buy Product Launch Formula in the last six months) - and I'm going to do it this time. I'm still working out what I'm looking for in final numbers, but right now I'm thinking that we're looking at 200 trained PLMs... at least this time around. My guess is that if everything goes great, we'll open things back up again in late 2010... but even thinking about that is getting way ahead of ourselves.]]
October 17th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
Jeff,
Will this system work with any other type of business other than just Internet Marketing businesses?
[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: Yes... absolutely. I've published lots of Case Studies of successful launches in literally dozens of different markets with all kinds of products (such as massage therapy, quilting, raw foods, photoshop tutorials, tax preparation, carving wooden dolls, coaching youth soccer, selling large corporate CRM systems, love letters, learning guitar, dating, working out, marching band accessories, dressage, edible and medicinal herbs and plants, and on and on.
The people in all those niches used Product Launch Formula very successfully... and they show the depth and breadth of markets and products that PLF works in. And they also show the depth and breadth of markets that will work for Product Launch Managers.]]
October 17th, 2009 at 10:18 pm
Hey Jeff
Sounds like a wide open market? Is the training going to be go at your own pase or a class room webinar type setting? All internet based?
Can’t wait to see more. When might the training be available?
Thanks for all you do.
October 18th, 2009 at 1:03 am
a) interested
b) what did you guys use to build the presentation? Sliderocket, Powerpoint? Other?
Thanks!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:01 am
Hi There? I’m from Austrailia and is this for us too or is it just in america. Kinda fell like yes that sounds good but is it for me living here. I am a single mother of 5 and I don’t want to fall victim to the single mother struggle syndrome. I like the sound of this and I want it to work for me and my family.

[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: Your location doesn't matter. At our $25,000 live training in Los Angeles, we had people from all over - in including several from Australia. We also had people from Malaysia, Kuwait, the UK... and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others.
We also had one very cool, very inspirational attendee from the UK who was blind. He traveled all the way from London to LA by himself. That was really cool, and he was a great attendee and added a lot to the event.]]
October 18th, 2009 at 3:54 am
Jeff, Will it be possible to get accredited or something after purchasing and studying this rollout of PLM, for people who wish to be included on the PLM directory you are setting up?
October 18th, 2009 at 8:45 am
Thanks Jeff for videos and future training!
I am a newbie in IM but thinking about making it my primary business.
Please, do not tease – what is the price tag?
[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: Elena... I'll be releasing all the pricing details soon - in the next couple of days.]]
October 18th, 2009 at 10:29 am
Jeff!
This is exciting and I am so looking forward to hearing more as you roll out the videos. I think you should add “Master of Suspense” to your list of many skills. LOL ..
Can’t wait.
Ana
October 18th, 2009 at 10:37 am
Interesting videos. I am not familiar with your product launch formula. However it is plain to me that the training that Jonathan went through prior to his first Launch as PLM is a prerequisite is it not? Perhaps this is a bit more advanced than where I need to be looking.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
very interesting stuff you talked about, can’t wait to get more information.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Hi Jeff,
I was blown away by your videos.
This is an amazing career to be involved
in. I had no clue that Product Launches were
so lucrative and I can see that you definitely know your stuff. Thumbs up. You have peaked my interest and I’m excited. I’m looking forward to your next video. Eager for more info.
October 18th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
Great video’s! I’m new to IM. I know just enough to have a decent conversation with the average person(I am really surprised how little the average person doesn’t know about the internet let alone IM).
I’m look for a model that truly works. Jeff this seems like the one
Can’t wait for the next video!

October 18th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Hi there!
I’m based in Oslo Norway and are just in the start up fase of my own company … thinking of applying this to that company and tons of other idea’s i got for businesses both on and offline, (seems they walk hand in hand now a days anyway) although i got this video from Frank Kern and attended a course/seminar here in oslo years ago i haven’t followed the development in internett marketing the last years so i’m realy looking forward to putting this to use for my new company but also see that this actually would take it into a new direction.
Kasper
October 18th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Love the videos Jeff. I figured it out about
squeeze pages earlier this year. Just don’t
know how to do it. Onward and forward to
your success. I look forward to hearing more
from you.
October 18th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Funny you should talk about a video glitch. This video is loading about every 30 seconds, I’m using FireFox browser, made staying with the video a bit difficult. However, the content was so fascinating it was worth the slight, albeit frequent, distortion of the interruptions. Thanks for the tease intro. Waiting patiently for the next video for more clarification.
(Actually I’m checking my email frequently)
OK, really on the edge, you’ve got the next piece.
October 18th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Wow Jeff, I’m new to this game but it sounds like you know this inside out …..waiting for the next one.
October 18th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
Okay, I must live under a rock or something because Jeff, I’ve never heard of you or PLM. I got your link through an email from Brian Tracy. So I figure if BT sent the link it must be something. So I checked it out.
October 19th, 2009 at 12:38 am
Its seems great that Jonathan was able to make this amount of money. only thing i was confused about was how could he contact a guru, so to speak, as they usually very hard to contact direct. What will the course cost? When do you think your launch will happen?
regards,
Norman
October 19th, 2009 at 12:56 am
I’m actually already headed in this direction, so I definitely want in on this. Just give us the price already.
October 19th, 2009 at 1:03 am
Hi Jeff,
This makes a lot of sense. I’m doing something very similar with my freelance content creation business. Previously, I’ve always just done projects on an at hire basis. However, now I’m working on a project where I’m getting a percentage of the overall sales monthly. Plus when the website owner found out that a certain internet marketing guru lives 30 minutes from my house and I have personal contact with him, he offered me an additional percentage (on top of what I’m already getting) if I help him recruit more affiliates. I have never done a launch before I just know about them based on what that guru has shared with me about his launches (he’s done several million dollar launches). I honestly didn’t have the confidence to ask for an upfront fee on top of that (I was amazed he would even be willing to give me a percentage when he could have just kept hiring me like he normally does), but if I could do that with just creating content, I can see how your students can easily do this if they are helping out on the entire launch.
October 19th, 2009 at 1:32 am
Dear Jeff Walker:
Totally mind blowing! Pricing of the Training is the key to keep control- all that is in your hands.
I look forward to the next video.
Many thanks Jeff.
October 19th, 2009 at 2:13 am
Jeff Walker is a shoot straight, no fluff kind of guy. I am anxiously awaiting the release of PLM! I hope the pricing is fair with multi-payment options for those whose wallets are full of lint and receipts
God Bless
October 19th, 2009 at 4:15 am
It’s realy good content and i like it, but does it work also here in The netherlands where internetmarketing is not so big…
Juan Queyesen
October 19th, 2009 at 4:26 am
This is awesome! This has really opened up new doors for me. I have been doing this, although the right way, for a couple months now. The first video alone has shown me ways to tweak and enhance my current projects… and I already see future projects on the horizon!
Thanks Jeff!
October 19th, 2009 at 4:35 am
I’d be great also if you shared some hints on how you’ll cover about approaching and getting affiliates for the launch. That’s usually what’s the most difficult thing.
October 19th, 2009 at 4:42 am
hi PLMs and Jeff,
I was following this launch to be used on my established business and i was not looking forward to finding the time to absorb this information, then write brief (scope of works) of what I need for my upcoming product, and then start the outsourcing process of finding someone to study and implement what is involved in jeffs course.
So im putting it out the to all existing PLM’s and future PLM’s I am looking for someone to work with.
The quality of work we produce can be seen on the construction of our website as well as the current clients we take on.
The product that we have took a year in build. The first sales of the product was done about 2 weeks ago with 8 sales of $5k each. The sales came in from relationships we had with people in this market. Obviously we are using these 8 sales to clean up all the loose ends inside the product. So far there has been nothing major to clean up ( I hope we don’t jinx ourselves now). I believe the reason we have such results, was because of the long and detailed planning that went into building this product.
We are not taking on more sales until we have completed the deliver of all 8 products, and cleaned up all loose ends. We are also taking before and after video footage of all sales to be used as proof for the first internet marketing launch of this product.
The next product sale price will be based between $5k and $10k depending on how we design the launch and package it.
So any PLM’s interested, please get in contact with me via the website.
JEFF:
If you want a before and after video of myself on using your PLM’s it would be a pleasure. Since I know marketing, I will be able to give you a great before and after metrics, credibility and proof.
October 19th, 2009 at 5:50 am
I am looking forward to seeing the final launch details including price. For me … it would be great to see a reasonable price for the training with monthly payment options. Questions that I would like to see answered are: 1. Will people who get this training also be listed on the website that promotes your officially trained PLM’s? 2. Do you have case studies of product launches for physical products and not just digital products? 3. Does the course cover (or do you have case studies of) successful product launches where the customer did not have a large existing customer base to help in the product launch? Looking forward to hearing more …
October 19th, 2009 at 7:06 am
The timing for this rocks!
I was just looking for a more lucrative way to expand my existing web businesses.
You have my attention.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:34 am
Really exciting opportunity.Wondering how technically skilled you need to be.Very comfortable managing projects offline, not so comfortable with techie stuff.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:45 am
Your videos have me excited as my product is getting developed now. Suppose you have a brand new product and new site designed around it. So NO LIST! Companies sell double opt lists on the net who have shown interest in this specific product and want to receive info, supposedly……IS this a good way to get a list. Anyone know of a reputable company that supplies this?
October 19th, 2009 at 9:49 am
As usual Jeff, gr8 stuff! I bought PLF and the material and training is 1st class. Was not able to attend your life PLManager Training and look forward to hearing more about this program.
October 19th, 2009 at 9:54 am
Hey Jeff
Am I seeing the correct videos? The first one I saw a couple of days ago seemed to be aimed at product owners (moi) looking for PL managers.
I am a PLF owner (2.2) but am very interested in the idea of paying someone to do my launch. How do I get this in front of your students?
Thanks ed
PS For anyone who is new to all this stuff Jeff is an outstanding talent who delivers exactly what he promises EVERY time. There are plenty of gurus out there and I guess you can learn something from all of them – but their high prices are no guarantee of quality. Jeff however is the real deal. If you are going to spend anything go with Jeff first
October 19th, 2009 at 10:02 am
Looks great, Jeff. Hoping this is something that fits my budget.
October 19th, 2009 at 10:57 am
Jeff,
I am switching gears and looking for something remarkable to do with my new venture and this is it. This will add great benefit to my new venture. Thanks a bunch
October 19th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
I’m a recent protege of Jeff and Jon from the Product Launch Manager training this last July and if I can be of any testament to what they are offering here being a REAL opportunity for some one who is eager and willing to do the work.
There is a high need for this and you have the possibility to do very well for yourself. As always, all results are different, and nothing is typical, but I can tell you that it will be up to you what you want to make of it.
With that said, Jeff is a stand up guy and will give you a lot of value. He tends to over deliver in my experience (hint: over delivering is something he teaches).
If you’re looking for a PLM for your projects, feel free to contact me and we can discuss your project.

This sounds unbelievable!
I’m in South Africa and cant wait to see the next video.
October 19th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Is it possible to purchase the Product Launch Formula on DVD’s? I would like to go through this program asap so I can become a Product Launch Manager
[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: Sorry Will, but Product Launch Formula is currently off the market. I teach it as an interactive online course... my experience is that people get better results that way. So right now we're between classes.
We'll be running another class and re-releasing it relatively soon... almost surely before the end of the year.]]
October 19th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Jeff . . . “trained By Jeff Walker” was a very good thing and this I do not doubt. What about the rest of us that want to try this out free once and then we can afford your training! In one of your videos you said you would be thrilled to see what we could do with the free portion of this information -I really want to learn this but I simply can not afford $5,000 at this time. Isn’t there a way to give us enough basics and perhaps a client so we can try this – make the money and then deduct your classroom fee? I think a lot of us would go for this – there has to be a way to make something like this work – please consider something like this I would gratefully pay you for the training if you teach me “how to fish”.
Thanks

October 19th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
Question.
Can this business be done anywhere by phone and email.
How many launches can be done simultaneously.
Do you use written contracts?
Do you always get something up front?
Do you specialize in niches that coicide with your background / knowledge base?
Is everything internet based or do you also do bricks and mortar…….ie Retail.
This is a very interesting business akin to being a product manager / sales manager.
[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: Yes, it can be done from anywhere with a phone (or skype), web access, and email. I live way out in the mountains in Colorado and run launches from here for clients all over the place. For one launch I was in London for a big chunk of the launch (and it was a U.S. based launch.)
I personally wouldn't want to do more than one launch at a time... but I imagine some people wouldn't mind. Usually if you're going to run multiple launches, you'll be at different points in each... ie, just starting prelaunch in one while the other is about to open the shopping cart.
Yes, we use written contracts. Our PLMs get all kinds of supporting documentation, including our standard contract.
We almost always get something up front. There are rare exceptions... all this is covered as part of the training.
We advise our PLMs to specialize in niches or verticals. Some have multiple niches.
Most of our training is based around Internet businesses, but this will also work for brick and mortar.]]
October 19th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
Value Base Pricing has been around for a long time. The more experienced contractors and consultants use it instead of an hourly rate. They make more money and their customers think they are getting a bargain!
October 19th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Hey Jeff,
These videos are very interesting and it seems like a great way to generate good amount of money. The most interesting to me is you need no list to make money. I wonder what is your next PLM course going to cost.
Thanks,
Tony
October 19th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
I just had to revisit and go through the info and video’s for 1 last time. Since I looked the first time a few days ago my brain has been going crazy I just can’t do a day without thinking of “how-to” I completely know and understand as probably we all do that this IS gonna be massive to any who can get their bucks together and get on that list of the few whom are going to be trained by Jeff. If only there was enough room for all of us (who knows maybe there is!)
The thoughts I have are
*- It’s literally C.R.A.Z.Y to think of how many industries you could tap into from one end of the scale to the other.
*- You could work with,(and for) great up and coming entrepreneurs & systems (little people) not just the big names.
*- World wide brands will become targeted leads for the bold PLM’s
*- I see a massive ’shift’ coming… There will be a massive “re-launch” forum’s, affiliate programs and membership sites …man even blockbusters may want a piece of the action too!
*- Off line business as in anyone who has a brick and mortar business that can handle an onslaught of e-commerce will certainly want a piece of pie too…
*- Jeff is gonna flip the whole WWW … Geezer “Nuff Respect” as we say in the ghetto!
October 19th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
Hi Jeff,
Thx and good stuff. A little confused on WHO does all the product launch work- writing copy, webpages, testing etc? Is that what I will be doing for my paycheck?
Am I a consultant and they have to get done what I supposedly advise them or am I doing the work?
thx!!
[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: It can vary from deal to deal. There's lots of ways to structure the deals (and we'll teach how to do this)... but in MOST launches, the PLM is doing the copy and setting up the tests.
That, of course, doesn't mean you have to do it... with our current PLMs, a lot of them ended up forming teams - so some people are good at copy, some are good at landing clients, some are good at web pages, etc.
Also, sometimes the client will have resources for copy and tech and other stuff. For example, on that launch where I made $417,000, I just wrote email copy for JV partners... and I did the overall strategy. But they handled everything else.
The bottom line is that there is always work involved, but you don't need to be an expert in all of it. Be sure to watch the "Fish" video... it goes into some of this stuff.]]
October 19th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Hi Jeff:
Can you launch a business? Or is it strictly products? Hope you can answer that with the other video coming.
Thanks
[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: Yes, you can ABSOLUTELY use it to launch a business.]]
October 19th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
very good way to gain money but how to bind to prospect during prelaunch period.
thanks
October 19th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
Hi Guys,
I just want to say when Jeff opens this up I will be first in line. The value of having his name behind you is huge. For instance, I am a Frank Kern student as well and am in the process of doing a reciprocity launch with a client. He understood the valuable education I have recieved and wanted my assistance. So you can imagine the response you will get having the launch master Jeff walker behind you. Just some thoughts. Take advantage as soon as you can. Thanks Dana
October 19th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
I have been searching for a “real guru” that will teach me something I don’t know, that really works! Looks like I found the right person! I am excited about this!
Kindest regards,
Russ
October 19th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
I like this one. It’s time for me to run with the big boys! Lets get it on!
October 19th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
What I love most is that THIS is evidence of how effective PLF is. Jeff, you’re running your own case study – but you knew that already. As a lifelong student of marketing, I love it.
October 19th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Hi Jeff,
I loved the videos. Look I am just starting and maybe that is why I am so motivated right now, but I am very interested and know that product launches is something I can do and do good, so I will be close by seeing what you put out there and catch it.
Thanks. Have an amazing day,
Vinny
October 19th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Jeff, the idea looks to be really promising. What if I am really busy with another promising online venture, yet have no money and no credit cards. Should I switch in the middle of the other venture, do both, or stick with the first venture, and, if switch or do both is your answer, then how would I pay for it? Will you take profit-sharing as pay?
October 19th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Hi, Jeff:
I am wondering if this course (PLM Coaching) is applicable to countries outside of US & Canada. As you guys might know, the Asia market is booming and internet penetrations in those emerging countries in Asia is in record high (China for instance). If we can really tap into those region, only the sky can limit us. I always have the ideas of transforming what I did or what most internet gurus did (in United States) into say for example, Chinese, to apply what I learn into Big Chinese internet market. There is a big population of internet users there.
Thanks,
Rick
[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: Well, Product Launch Formula has been used successfully all over the world, including in Asia, South and Central America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, etc..
However, I don't know if it's been specifically used in China.]]
October 19th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Wow!
I have an education background and I am a great believer in the benefits of receiving good education and training … At the beginning of this year I joined an Internet Marketing Training Provider to acquire those skills and set up an Internet Business.
I am deeply interested in the “Product Launch Manager System” as another avenue I could pursue to use my skills and bring in some money!
Really Cool!
October 20th, 2009 at 12:51 am
Hey Jeff love it when you come out with new suff!!!
But Heres my question that i think might be right.
Couldn’t I take the info that i learned form plf2
and use that same stuff but launch other people’s
products?
[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: Yes, you could.
In fact some people have already done this... for example, Brandon Fredrickson in the "Fish" video. However, the stuff we teach in PLM will make you a LOT more effective and you'll make a LOT more money.
That's why Brandon chose to attend the PLM event in LA, even though he was already successfully running launches for people.]]

With the success of PLF and the powerful system it is to launch a product, I also can see the potential for not only launching products and services for businesses operating online and offline. Imagine all the new startups every day (worldwide) that really need to promote their new business (with products or new services,…) I really think the “Product launch manager” title would not fit exacly,… but helping startups as a “Business Launch Manager” would certainly get the attention from new businesses. Think of the great deals you can make of a startup, since they likely are willing to give you a better deal,.. because you really giving them a flying start…
(Also Fortune500 companies launch new businesses)
But really even if it is a product or business, I rather call me a “Business Launch Manager” that manages product launches and startup businesses. I likely to get a copy of your new course Jeff

I liked the video. here’s my problem with it.How do you convince people outside of IM to allow you to do a launch? Also 99$ of businesses are not able to pay you anything upfront. If you get involved without an upfront amount, you are not guaranteed that they will follow through with the launch at all.
October 20th, 2009 at 8:52 am
Can’t wait to hear the punchline…I love this idea.
October 20th, 2009 at 10:23 am
Jeff,
Could you address the issue of starting this business from scratch! I would like to get going and must look at ROI and time it takes to ramp up. I cant live on one fish, I will need to catch many to remain financially sound in this business. Will you remain in contact with all of us as a mentor, consultant, business partner.
I am looking forward to your next video, and hope there is some affordable way to get it all going.
October 20th, 2009 at 10:44 am
Sounds very interesting hope it;s affordable and I can aceess this from Canada cheers
October 20th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Jeff. Your idea sounds interesting. I live in Dubai and how do I get started ? How much does it cost ?

Jeff: My primary interest in being on your list and viewing your videos is not to become an internet marketer. Rather, it is to learn about internet marketing for the purpose of being able to knowledgeably hire someone to do this type of marketing for me. It would be very helpful to me if you were to address one of your videos to this subject.
best wishes, Howard Davis

My product is a new book: Chasing Pig’s Ears “Memoirs of a Hollywood Plastic Surgeon”. I would like to launch the sale of this book by hiring a PLM and at the same time learn how to become a Product Launch Manager myself.
The Value Based Pricing is a Win/Win and a great idea. I tried to sell this idea to the major advertising companies years ago but they wouldn’t buy it.

Hello,
I am looking for a Product Launch Manager/Team to work on a new membership service of my company.
Everyone interested please contact me at hr@carboffnow.com
October 20th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
I hope there are payment options for this training as I want to participate in an affordable way.
My trust factor is high for this launch, D
October 20th, 2009 at 6:39 pm
This makes total sense to me as there are so many people who have no idea about how to market products online.
The only thing they are aware of is PPC, but that is pretty obvious as to why that it, because big companies have tons of cash stashed away and make deals with Google to provide them with ads to their search engines. But as we all know, PPC is just a small piece of the puzzle.
I totally get why this will work. Instead of finding Niche markets that aren’t being handled by the big guys. Why not use your knowledge to help them? Makes total sense…
October 20th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Jeff,
I would love to see a detailed table of contents for your proposed program so I can make an educated decision before joining.
This is the first time I check one of your programs and, although intriguing, I wonder how an individual with little or no Internet Marketing experience will be able to pull a consulting contract to launch a product.
If your program merely is a sales training then fine, so be it. But behind any successful product launch consultant there has to a small army of knowledgeable professionals (SEM, PPC, AdWords, Google Analytics, Social Networking, A/B Testing, Copy-Writing, Video Editing, Community Building, etc, etc). Unless the consultant is well versed on all these subjects.
Will your program provide training in all the areas mentioned above, or will you suggest a pool of experts that a newly Jeff-Walker-Trained-Sales-Expert can outsource jobs to. Please kindly advise and please take on my suggestion to publish a detailed table of contents for your new program.
Thank you!!!

I am very excited about this opportunity, and anxiously await the doors opening hopefully soon. Like many others, I am concerned about the price and I hope there will be a payment plan that allows many with low and no budgets to participate. PLM is exactly the type of internet opportunity that I have been looking for and thankfully have found.
October 20th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
I just tried this very same technique and I now have a proposal going to a board meeting – all from just a series of emails over 15 minutes.
I received an email from a software company this morning about upgrading my software – I sent an email back about how they could increase their sales by using a launch instead (they have only ever used email and only sent emails when they had a promo). 4 emails later and they have my price of 15% of sales and a proposal being taken to the company board.
I have only done my own launches in the past (have done up to $70,000 for my own software, but this is the first time I have actually tried to sell my services).
Thanks Jeff… Looking forward to sharing this story as it unfolds.
October 20th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
When was Johnathan’s launch done? Also, when was Mercola’s launch done?
Take care
October 20th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
excellent material! great expert advise, I am sold on it! great job jeff as I always said your simplicity and genious are second to no other one!
October 21st, 2009 at 12:59 am
Jeff,
I am looking forward to participating as one of your next Product Launch Managers. I am a copy writer and have played a key role in building a $30 million company online with 5 people in less than a year.
I have recently helped build another company to over the $11 million a year mark in about 2.5 years . . . challenge is, these are not my companies and I am still struggling as a humble copy writer.
I have a career vision for 2010 and being trained by you as an expert Product Launch Manager would fit into the picture just right.
I hope you will contact me to help me take the next step.
Sincerely,
Tod Faassé

This idea of helping the gurus out on new product launches is fantastic as everybody as some sort of skill that they have picked up in their lifetime for example I am good at art and design so I suppose this would be helpful In some way for the gurus out there I am looking forward to your next video.
October 21st, 2009 at 6:55 am
Is this the reason I’m getting a lot of JV request? I’m not a student of Jeff Walker (just through my 8 year experience and reading Jeff’s material), however I’ve successfully helped several new marketers to launch their products. But you know what, I think I will tinker with it a little bit better, giving the launch more patience for a better dramatic response. :0)
October 21st, 2009 at 9:15 am
Jeff,
I am totally in sync with you on the need for more Product Launch Managers. I started helping someone do a launch and although they think I bring a lot to the table it would have been nice to tell the business owner I am a PLM. I could have charged him up front as well as get a % of the sale but I wasn’t able to do that. He made so many mistakes and had I been more involved it would have meant so much more revenue for him.
The guy is a smart guy but without the experience that someone who is a PLM brings. He cost himself
a lot of money. There are only 3 things needed to be successful as a PLM, Talent, Attitude and Activity. I have some talent, I am 100% on board and having worked in the past of a straight referral basis on I know I can get the Activity.
Now I need the training to solidify what I know and to gain more knowledge and to become a PLM.
Does anyone realize how much money is wasted and what value you could bring to any number of businesses?
Jeff, How about a smaller fee and % of my %? Train the best 25 people you can find and you will make even more money. Just a thought.
With the economy the way it is now, this service is even more valuable.

Hi, I have been trying to access the video all day on our computer but for some reason the link keeps getting lost and it also doesn’t want to copy to the computer so that I could watch it later. Have you perhaps got it in another format (on YouTube perhaps) or in transcript form?
I would like to know what the video is all about.
Thank you very much, and best regards,
Ursula

Hi Jeff. I am a 20 year old who has minimal college expeirience and i wanted to ask you how to be successful. My peers in my life seem to think that if u work hard no matter the job you will make it. But in my opinion, you need to put the effort into a job that will show you that its worth it. please inform me on your secrets and knowlegde and i assure you that i will do everything i can to produce results. thatnk you for your time and i hope to here from you soon.
October 21st, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Hi Jeff,
I am very impressed with your presentation,
your credentials appear impeccible.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but your program does not appear to be for the newbie. I’m one up on Tony Robbins about a squeeze or capture page….but am essentially a rookie to many/most of the required skills.
Was curious as to your thoughts about the advisability of the newbie becoming involved.
Is this ultimately a compatibily flaw…?
Thanks so much for your time…

Does one need the Product Launch Formula training before one takes the PLM certification training?
October 21st, 2009 at 11:50 pm
Hi Jeff! Great series of videos. I am at the newbie level as well however I feel I have read and seen enough material to be one notch over the ‘0′ level. That being said, how can I even be considering being some kind of help to a guru? Sould I not have a little more credibility in proven success before? I guess the answers will come in the next video and the training itself. Thanks for putting out this information. Have a great day!
Patrick
[[ COMMENT FROM JEFF: Watch the"Fish" video ... it explains how you can follow the scripts and your client will be completely blown away.
One more thing: you don't have to start at the GURU level. There are lots of great launches by all kinds of non-gurus that are happening all the time. ]]

Absolutely Brilliant Marketing to Begin With.
Not only do I have my own product(s) that I want to launch but I have always wanted to assist people with their own passions in life. Each one of us has had an idea, a product in mind, and typically have been stopped by the “What’s Next” mentality…looks like we will have that packaged beautifully, and soo many dreams WILL come true.
This is all extremely exciting and I look forward to hearing more.
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:01 pm
Great to hear your ideas and thoughts on all aspects of a product launch manager’s role. And even more exciting to imagine the possibilities out there for people like me who thrive on helping other people build their businesses. Can’t wait to get the whole scoop. P.S. internet marketing seems to be a male dominated venue – is this another boys club or can you let the doors swing open a little wider?
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Too many fisherman for so few fish ? Could happen if this catches on.
October 22nd, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Jeff,
My email box has been flooded with product launches and people pitching other people’s stuff…I’ve usually ignored them because all too often it becomes a distraction and detour.
But I’m glad I didn’t ignore the email that Don Crowther sent me with your videos.
What a fantastic opportunity.
Who is your idea student for this PLM program?
Any pre-requisites?
What is the time commitment?
Will you limit the number of students per niche?
Do you have a team of people supporting the students like Stompernet does with their X-Ray and Incubator programs? (I’m a Stomper)
Thanks for doing what you do with such class!
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:19 am
Here is the scoop, Jeff is a master at what he does. And I believe that most people find excuses on why they don’t want to purchase. Of course the video’s are pitching the coaching, of course he is going to JV with all the big teachers in the internet marketing world. Of course it will cost well over what a middle class person can purchase it for. That is the point, Jeff doesn’t want just anyone. He wants the best. Can’t blame him really. Self made millionaires don’t look for broke needy people they look for winners. Entreprenuers who are willing to step out of their comfort zones and make it happen. People who can see the value from a mile away. People who know that when they come out the other side they will win. Buy it buy it, buy it.
October 23rd, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Jeff,
It’s always amazing to me that two people can see the same thing and have totally different reactions.
Some posting here are skeptical. Others want more free ‘how tos’.
Others are ‘getting it’ and ready to roll.
Remember the line… about three kinds of people. Those who make things happen, those who watch what happened and those who wonder what happened.
I think that they are all represented here in the 217 responses.
