Delays, delays…
Definitely not the hallmarks of a "guru" launch, eh?
Well this ain't no guru launch.
(A double-negative — that's not proper English, is it?)
Truth be told…
You don't ever want to model this "launch formula".
(I can picture Jeff Walker shaking his head in utter disappointment.)
It gets worse tho…
I'm about to show you the sales letter.
But let me WARN YOU before you take a read.
If you're a fan of "HYPE", then … err … well, you're probably going to be left with a sense of massive disappointment.
What!?
A "sales letter" with zero hype?
Go figure, huh?
Next I'll be telling you I saw a flying pig. :-)
OK, OK … enough already.
There is nothing to buy … yet.
So in the mean time — and over the weekend — you can read over the Nanobloggers (non) sales page, here:
http://affiliatebully.com/get/nanobloggers
Again. Nothing to buy. The order button is NOT LIVE!
Not yet anyway.
It'll go live next week.
It may be Monday. Maybe Tuesday. Perhaps Wednesday.
I honestly don't know.
But what I will promise you is that I'll let you know … when I know. When Peter knows.
(Three cheers for the ClickBank approval process. Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! – NOT!)
It'll be next week some time. For sure.
For now, read the copy:
http://affiliatebully.com/get/nanobloggers
… and see if this is something you want to get.
Talk soon,
Andre
P.S. Apologies for the crazy email. It's almost Christmas. I'm happy. I'm Excited.
Not just about Christmas (which also happens to be the wife's birthday, too). But I'm excited for you to see/experience Peter's Nanobloggers product.
Got a comment/question for Peter?
{ 45 comments… read them below or add one }
You hate to see this happen to someone during a launch – but it helps build up the anticipation, even if it was unplanned!
We all remember the days of the server crashes (most real, some staged) on a launch day. Glad those days are over – but that seems to have been replaced by ClickBank's approval process.
Lesson learned during this launch: Keep everything close to chest until the CB approval comes in. :)
Peter,
Sold…I really was expecting a $297-$497 price point, which I would have paid, but I'm fine with $97 :)
I already earn a full-time income from one blog, but would love to setup 10-15 more. Is it doable to run 10+ blogs at the same time? I am guessing that these are more based around a product rather than a market. The single blog I run know gets heavy traffic, but not really designed to sell.
Totally curious about not worrying about Google Traffic. Any hints?
Cheers,
Rusty
It's not about getting traffic from videos or web 2.0 right?
Sounds good. I really don't buy the whole clickbank approval thing, but only because I know that Andre is a marketing genius and I believe he is managing this launch. I could be wrong, but I would bet that Andre even wrote the copy on the sales page. This could be sold with paypal or any other payment processor pretty easily, so clickbank doesn't seem really necessary especially since I'm not getting bombarded with emails from JV partners for this.
With that said, I'm happy being a part of Andre's marketing test he's doing here, because I know that he will teach us how to do it at some point.
Andy
Hmmmm, the sales page and flow have a familiar pattern? Could this be a team effort?
The cause is an awesome thing to do! That says a lot about Peter!
Just wondering what Andre gets? (Inquiring FTC minds want to know).
Seems like there would be a big bonus offer? "Order from my link and get the key to the kingdom".
But, if Andre is on board with it, I assume that he is part of it, or has seen and approved. Must be awesome!
I for one can't wait.
Bob
PS
I got in a little late, maybe I missed something. LOL
Hello Andre,
This smells like a version of the "cooker" technique from your accomplice Brent.
With the products you and Brent are involved in, I am "cooked" anyway. I'll wait until next week. :-)
Chuck
It's blatantly a sales ploy, as Andy said then it'd be a case of a few minutes to stick up a paypal button and rake in some cash for the doggies, clickbank don't take ages to approve products. It's interesting to see Chuck already knows of a similar technique being used.
But annoying your list just to try and increase conversions a week later? Seems counter-productive to me, yet if it works then I guess more people will be doing it.
You know what guys, I have had my share of problems with CB approval. I remember going back and forth with them for days due to the wording of my guarantee…so they can hold you up.
@Andy D
True story. Believe it or not.
Also — I'm not managing this launch. Peter is doing this on his own. I've helped, sure. But I'm certainly not managing this thing.
Reason WHY Peter is using CB (on my recommendation) is that — once approved and running — it works brilliantly.
But most importantly, for the few initial JV partners involved, it takes care of payments between vendor and partner seamlessly and automatically. Peter needs the leverage that CB allows so that he can get partners onboard.
End result, of course, is the good cause.
@Bob
Sales page (al la presell flow) is similar to what I do (or mine is similar to his) because we all mastermind together. We share ideas. Been doing it for years.
And to keep the FTC happy
[grin], yes, I get a big fat 50% commission for telling my guys (you) about this — that is, if you choose to buy through my links.@Chuck
Perhaps you're right.
But that's because it just so happens to be working out this way. Not planned like this. Promise.
Believe me. This is no well planned, well oiled, guru masterminded, product launch. If it were — it would smell like one — and look like one. And it certainly does neither. :)
@Mike
ClickBank DOES "take ages" when the vendor and network are at odds about the content.
Peter doesn't want to have to cull any content. It's all in there for a reason. Part of the workflow.
CB are a little "sensitive" about an element of it. Peter therefore has chosen to "rewrite" that element WITHOUT doing a cull.
This is why the delay. Culling the element in question would be the easy way out. Not Peter's style.
PayPal is not an option for a hundred reasons.
@Chris
Thanks for the understand and patience. I know Peter appreciates it. It's his launch — not mine.
Andre
Andre, I you said you saw a pig fly then I believe you.
If you said Gurus Dont lie Then I sure wouldnt believe you.
Man I cant get over all of the hungry guru so an so's pushing out crap
at the moment!
Wonder if we could get the original content after purchasing the course as a "missing chapter"?
@Rusty
Dude, I'll gladly make a "special" landing page for you where you can buy nanobloggers at a "but for you…" price of $497 – LOL.
You are a fulltimer! Respect, my friend!
Yes – it is very doable to run a multi-blog business, especially since nanobloggers takes away all the "guesswork". The way I set up things basically dictates about what to write and when to write.
You could use nanoblogger projects to support your main blog or even make dedicated "sales oriented nanoblogs" that enhance your persona and get your visitors in a funnel.
I'm setting up an "incrowd" blog for buyers of nanobloggers – promise me you'll come by and interact, I got a lot of stuff to share with you and everybody else.
@Ryan T
No – I don't cover video. Web 2.0 is used but in a "creative" way, not in a way where you go and set up Squidoo, etc …
We're using Web 2.0 to leverage what we do in big way.
@Andy D
It's my product and I wrote the copy. I don't want to use Paypal for a million reasons. The main reason being that I don't want to freeze up my account that holds the money to pay my friends who try very hard to help me promote nanobloggers.
@Bob
It really is my product – Andre and I are good friends and we master mind all the time, so it's really not that strange that there are similarities in how we approach our marketing.
It really is all about the dogs – we work VERY hard to give them the life they deserve.
I wanted to do something extra that would contribute to their well being (and help YOU at the same time .. :-)
@Chuck
Yup! .. you're right. This does smell like The Cooker. But it really is unintentional.
Like Andre said – this is not a well oiled "guru launch". This is a "ghetto launch" .. but with a great product! (maybe I'm biased :-)
@Mike
No sales ploy.
Listen – I wanted to do everything with nanobloggers the "anti-guru" way. I cut away all the fat, all the hype and all the hoopla. I didn't drive my car across the golf course and go all "mass control" on your ass.
This is simply a delay I hadn't calculated in. Nothing more, nothing less.
If we annoyed you, then accept my apologies.
@Chris
I REALLY do appreciate your patience and understanding.
@Andre
50%? – I thought the deal was waffles and beer? Crap! I must have misunderstood — LOL
–Peter
I like this (non) sales letter.
I'll be buying soon as available because I reckon I will learn some more 'this is what really works' info and it will then be up to me take advantage of it.Have been a subscriber/customer Andre's for some time and I trust what he says & like his style.Peter looks much the same and I wish you every successs with this product launch. Hopefully at some stage from our different parts of the world we may all even get to know ea other personally a bit and expand our knowledge.I often get -mostly respectfull but you cant please all the people all the time so dont even try – criticism as being a black or white sort of guy with very few shades of gray in between and I am basing my internet biz on these principals, it has certainly served me well in the past and I am very comfortable with it.
Cheers Bruce
Hey Peter,
What is an estimate of initial/ongoing costs associated to get this thing up and running?
Peter
Peter,
What other tools that we have to purchase to make this work?
Will those tools be a monthly payment type of tool?
Looking forward to your reply.Thanks.
@Peter
Nothing unusual – you need a domain to host your blog and I think I recommend one tool to semi-automate a task (which, I think, costs like $24).
@Tyler
As I said in my reply to Peter – there are no monthly type payment tools that I recommend you get. I'm using one tool (the $24 one that I mentioned above) that saves me time. That being said – I'm testing a brand new tool that will probably replace the $24 one. The latter is a tad more expensive (no monthly tho) but it kicks major booty. I'll have the results of my tests up on the "incrowd" blog.
Hope this helps!
Hi Peter,
I was just watching a DVD from the great -
and now unfortunately, late – Jim Rohn
in which he said "being fruitfull and
abundant means working to produce
more than you need for yourself".
Congratulations for your abundance
and best of success with the dog
shelter funding initiative.
>Yup! .. you're right. This does smell like
>The Cooker. But it really is unintentional.
Considering the repetitive delays due to
CB's approval process, shall we call it
"The Cranker" then ? ;O)
Beste groeten.
(Greetings.)
I really like your "reality-speak" type of sales letter. It doesn't insult your intelligence like your typical "make $10,000 a month doing nothing except push a button" IM sales letters.
Do we have to become an "expert" in the niches we are marketing? I mean there a lot of big money niches with lots of buyers (eg. the Forex niche) but I don't particularly have an interest in. But people now want to get unbiased, truthful reviews from a genuine expert-not some joker just trying to make a buck. I bought some domain names for the Forex niche but after looking around the cesspool of fake Forex review sites on the internet I didn't know how to find a real way to present real, useful information to people interested in this.
Can your approach be used to sell real physical products that people are searching to buy?
Hi Peter,
Is this a complete manual, which I can follow step by step?
Will this work for some one who can’t write well? Or to work you need to write enough content and any extra writing ability?
I am technically sound but can’t write articles or content for that matter. Please advise if I can make use of this product to make money without out too much of writing.
If I can follow what you are teaching and what is the time period that we can expect to see any results. I know it will differ to different people, but just as an estimate.
Hoping this is the last product that I buy for 2009 and 2010.
All the best with your launch
Jey
Sounds like the "anti launch" launch!
You product name is "nano" blogger. So I assume we have to write very few page. Is that right? Give us an estimate :)
You talk about using web 2.0 in a new way, is that the main way we gonna get traffic? Because…web 2.0 doesn't convert well…
@Alan
You're right – I'm a lucky SOB. I wish every person on this planet would have a passion that drove them to "do more". Not just taking care of your own wallet.
"The Cranker" — LOL
@Frank
No, you don't need to become an expert. The way nanobloggers works is that you will look as the "top dog" in your market. You stand in front of the information flow that you receive and you re-adapt the content for mass dispensing.
Don't worry – it's an easy process.
You say – "People want unbiased reviews …". I think you'll be hard pressed to find such a thing in the Forex market :-)
I would say that you NOT need a review per se. Review sites are not the only way to make money in a market (forex or other).
You'll be able to use your forex domains with nanobloggers – and you'll be able to get content on there that you do not have to come up with yourself.
OK – and now I'll shut up about this .. :-)
@Jey
Yes – it's a complete manual. Step-by-step? – yes, that too.
BUT…
Don't be a zombie! – use your brain and think about what you're doing. The people making money online are not the ones that just push buttons.
Follow the plan that's in the manual and FOCUS. Enjoy what you're doing and don't just do it because there might be a reward at the end – it does not work that way.
With nanobloggers, you can run multiple blogs at the same time. Use that leverage and build up your business.
I get results in as little as an hour, some people take days, some take weeks, some never get a result…
Is that the fault of nanobloggers? – Never!
If you DO IT – you will get results.
Action = RE-Action – it's a law of nature, it's inevitable.
@Ryan T
You don't need to "write" – you need to "re-adapt".
I never said you would get your main traffic from Web 2.0 sites – we use Web 2.0 as a means to an end. A very strong one, for that matter.
About those conversions – it's not the fault of the platform …
Andre & Peter -
Thanks for the calorie reduced sales letter -
So "done with" the un-needed epic pitch fest sales novels
Can finish with War & Peace faster with better comprehension
1-Q- Approx: time guess-t-ment to see Nano-Blog(s) viable & earning?
2- Q -As previously asked above, what additional funds may be needed other than base cost of course at $97 ??
Thanks Guys, great appreciation to your reply
PS -Great cause -Keep those Doggies Rollin !!
Hey guys!
Nanobloggers looks interesting. Seems it should fit right into my business model.
With that said, how well does this system lend itself to being entirely, 100% outsourced? My guess is very well seeing the link to John Jonas.
Also, how many Nanoblogs would you recommend creating to build a decent revenue stream – IE $10,000/mth and beyond? And is it feasible to run several/many Nanoblogs with this model to really scale up the business?
Lastly, do you see this system as having long-term sustainability?
Thanks for the answers, appreciate it.
And big ups, Peter, for taking care of the animals like this!
Cheers,
Michael
Just wanted to add that I came across Peter's 'blogging to sell' audios awhile back and they were amazing. I think I got them through John Jonas. I remember trying to find the full product after I heard them but I was too late. I got a ton of value from the audios alone though and changed alot of what I do as a result. I use purely blogs for my affiliate marketing now and it works out really well for me. So I'm looking forward to this. Having a manual will be great as there was so much info in those audios.
Andre and Peter,
Alright, so maybe this is really a clickbank issue, but I will say again that the only reason I thought that this might be some new launch technique you guys were testing is because I know you guys know what you are doing. Maybe I'm giving you too much credit :).
Who knows, maybe the conversions will be through the roof and you will have accidentally created a sweet launch strategy.
Hi as a Veterinary Surgeon with Internet Marketing interests I really like the idea of helping the dogs shelter so despite wasting my money on many past schemes which never work I do trust Andre and like the sound of this. Why can't IM people be honest like most professionals in other walks of life. Can you imagine your Dr or Vet talking the hyped up way we get used to and accept in IM circles!
Paul
Hey Peter, I loved "Blogging to Sell" so I'm really looking forward to seeing NanoBloggers.
Now if we could just get Andre to pitch in a Big Fat Bonus for his Loyal Followers… :-)
Tim
I agree Tim.
Wasn't it George Brown who said that if you are promoting to internet marketers "you must offer a bonus". What else would keep them from using their own CB ID?
@ Paul
>Why can't IM people be honest like most professionals in other walks of life…
>…talking the hyped up way we get used to and accept in IM circles
It takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen.

Hi Peter & Andre.
Q: Can the Traffic System of nanobloggers be used in NON-English speaking countries? In Germany for example I can't make much use of an ezinearticle.com source.
Thanks in advance.
Best,
-Vlad
@Vlad
You bet bro! – I'm in Belgium and we use nanobloggers in Flemish, French and German markets. And … nanobloggers does not use EZA as a source for content ;-)
@Everybody else
Allow me a little bit more time to get back to all of you – puppie emergency!
Hi Peter,
a couple of quick questions:
1. When is it going to be available?
2. Do nanoblogger blogs, work only in certain markets/topics…or do your strategies work in terms of getting traffic for any niche? And does it only work for specific "kinds" of offers…such as only CPA…or only info products or is what you promote irrelevant to nanoblogging?
3. Sorry, last question – How much of your system is "outsourceable"?
After having gone through over 30 article writers in two years, I've finally found one who's delivering awesome quality content for me. So if your system hinges on writing quality content, I'm going to be pretty chuffed :)
Cheers,
Abhik
@Skye
1 – Look 1 reply up – Jey had the same question .. :-)
2 – Look 3 replies up – I answered that question for Peter and Tyler .. :-)
Again – it's very hard to "predict" anything – nothing on the Internet is set in stone. Nanobloggers is a fast way of getting traffic if you implement it and keep doing it consistently.
@Michael
It can be 100% outsourced – that being said, I do NOT recommend you do that before you have at least completed 2 nanobloggers projects yourself.
You can run multiple nanobloggers projects and really scale up. How many you need to reach $10K/month? – I cannot answer that question. Most of my "Golden Six" do that amount with just 1 blog. Your mileage may vary.
Long term sustainability? – yes, this is not scraped rubbish, auto blog kind of stuff. My nanoblogs grow each day and some of them are older then 2 years.
@Chris
Glad you liked the BTS audios .. :-)
@Paul
I hear ya! – I'm aiming for "hype free IM" (I'm afraid it's not going to happen tho – :-|)
@Tim
If you liked BTS – you'll love NB! (okay, a lil' bit of hype hasn't killed anyone, now has it? .. LOL)
Andre will have a bonus…
@Abhik
1 – This week!
2 – Nanobloggers works in all markets and niches and for all types of offers.
3 – 100% outsourceable, but read my reply to Michael. Do it yourself FIRST before you think about outsourcing.
It's great to have a quality writer – you can use him/her for NB but remember that you do not have to come up with the content yourself – you just need to re-adapt.
Hi Peter, I can't wait to get a hold of the course. Your methodology and philosophy is what really excites me about the product. Just wondering, what kind of traffic can one expect in the first few weeks of their nanoblogs? Do nanoblogs convert well?
Loved the "non" sales letter and piggy!
This is sounding like building blogs around specific products – as in infoproductkiller, but using wordpress, which is what I'm doing.
Having just got past Clickbank delays myself I'm inclined to believe the reaon for the delay…
Looking forward to it guys…
Al
Ok Peter,
This might not be the coocker:) but I'm starting to feel like a little boy on Christmas morning. Can't wait to rip up the wrapping and see what is inside…
I might even adabt this sloppy product launch strategy myself, ha…
I really look forward to the nanoblogging approach, I've been looking at some of the blogging to sell strategies and the align perfectly with what I've been trying to accomplish.

thanks guys
you put into a system what I had in vision and
wasn't before able to chunk it down like you did.
already read once through the materials to get a
10,000 foot view. next, it's time to go back through
and apply everything step-by-step while, like peter
mentioned in the manual, still keeping a mind of my own. :)
peter – spot on presentation.
andre – I am grateful you shared this with us. thank you.
let's help some doggies!
be well gentleman

Peter/Andre,
Thank you for taking my money. :-)
I have read the book once. Time to go back and apply it step by step.
Exceptionally clear presentation and unique approach to blogging.
WOW!
Thanks for sharing…
Chuck
@Chuck — thanks for your feedback.
Peter/Andre,
I've bought it, read it and it's excellent. Infact, I've read it twice just to get my head around it and make notes as there is so much detail. I think I understand it now. But, I have a strategy question, which I guess show be on the nanobloggers incrowd blog except it's not open for comments yet. I already have a blog with 190 posts (I add one post a day) and 14 topic categories. I'm not sure how to integrate nanoblogging with my existing blog. I could create 14 nanoblogs on each of the 14 topics, which feed into my main blog, but I could not cope with 14 nanoblogs. It's too much work. There aren't enough hours in a day. All 14 topics are suitable for creating nanoblogs from my initial research. Perhaps I could just keep my existing blog, time slice one category a day, over a 14 day cycle and feed the strategy into my existing blog. But you guys are the experts. What do you think? What would you recommend?
Terry
