Private Niche Empire Launching March 2, 2009

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

The excitement is building for the launch of the Private Niche Empire membership community. The 200 Early Bird registrations were filled Saturday in less than 6 hours.

Launch is a go tomorrow, Monday, March 2nd at 11:00 am EST. Be there or be square (as we used to say). Does anybody say that any more? Probably not, everything is either cool, killer, or awesome. And I’m probably even behind the times mentioning those. It’s so hard to keep up with this fast paced world any more. Wow, where did that come from.

Now I need to go write an email for the launch. It’s snowing hard here in middle Georgia so it’s hard focus and not enjoying looking at it. We don’t see heavy snow like this often here, or snow at all for that matter.

Warmest regards,

Ellery

Private Niche Empire Launch Postponed Due to Illness

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

I am very sorry but I have to postpone the launch of Private Niche Empire. I am so weak from the flu that I can barely get out of bed to send you this email.

At this point I am looking at February 23rd as a possibility but until I feel better I probably should not commit. I want to get at least one more video done before the launch so that we will have some anticipation working in our favor for great conversions.

I was able to secure a script that will enable me to refresh your cookies when my autoresponder sends out followups. I will get that installed before I ask you to send out another email.

Many thanks to Adrian Ling for his great product, Easy Click Mate. http://easyclickmate.com/

By the way, that is not an affiliate link. It’s just a great product that you need to use if you are a Clickbank merchant.

New Top Rankings Video Added To Private Niche Empire Home Page

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

We’ve added a new video to the Private Niche Empire home page showing how quickly our sites can go to the top of Google’s rankings for a competitive phrase with over 7 million competing sites.

Private Niche Empire Product Launch February 17th

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Private Niche Empire will officially be launched on February 17th.

Almost all JV Partners are in agreement and I thank you guys for your feedback. Don’t forget to make use of Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Squidoo, Hubpages, and YouTube in your promotions.

The pre-launch has already started so don’t hesitate to send your subscribers to the site.

Thanks,

A Potential Problem - Launch Date Conflicts

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

Hi again Joint Venture Partners.

Well no launch ever goes off without a hitch. I’ve just heard this morning that two other marketers are launching on February 10th as well. Then this afternoon I got an email from a third one. So that’s four of us shooting for the 10th. I won’t mention any names (but their initials are MJ, CX, and HG).

Darn you guys, go away. ;-) Just kidding. I think.

Can you believe it?

I guess it shouldn’t surprise me. Nothing in this life worthwhile is ever truly easy. I emailed two of them asking them to back off! (Actually I was very polite and said please, please, please. Just kidding again but I was polite).

Anyhoo, what do you guys think? If they won’t change (and I doubt if they will), should I?

I’ve had several partners email me and tell me they really thought my product was a breath of fresh air, they really liked it and would promote Private Niche Empire regardless, but suggested that I change the launch date to Wednesday or Thursday of next week.

I was thinking about possibly changing it to Monday, February 9th, because I would rather precede those guys than have to follow them.

What do you think? I really need your help in deciding what to do here.

I know Monday theoretically is not a good day but does anyone have any real experience or data about a Monday Product Launch?

I own Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula 2.0 but I don’t have time to go through all that material in the short amount of time left and I don’t think I can get in touch with him in time to get an answer. Hey Jeff, are you out there man?

I look forward to your comments.

Warmest regards,

Ellery

P.S. Clickbank Stats:

What About Duplicate Content?

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

I’d like to address the number one question I get about Private Niche Empire in a little more detail than I did the last post. The question is…

What about duplicate content?

Yes, the dreaded duplicate content penalty. It’s really a great question. But in regards to PNE that question almost makes me laugh. I mean you see so many somewhat similar products that are sold to many hundreds up to 2000 and sometimes even more, that our meager 125 per group is miniscule in comparison.

But like I said it is a valid question. So here is the answer…

When there are 125 members per group you have only 125 competitors which is a far cry from the hundreds and more often thousands that other memberships let in.

If it’s true that only 10 to 20% of people ever do anything with what they have (and I believe it is), that is not many competing sites and when you realize that we provide from 4 to 12 different header graphics for each site almost all of them will likely look different.

No more than 125 members have ever received the 10 current new sites. Previous months sites are removed each month.

There are a number of methods of making your pages unique (some automatic) that are covered in the training. Some do involve a bit of rewriting but that is optional and I know many members who do very well without doing that. Some are proprietary that we only tell members how to do.

I do think rewriting the article on the home page a bit helps because only the home page is likely to get indexed initially and once you see which sites are taking off you can focus on varying them. The 80/20 rule applies in that 20% of your sites will make you 80% of your profits so it makes sense to concentrate on the producers.

Also, there are 20 articles for each site and you can use any of those as the home page which greatly reduces the odds of the home page being similar to another members.

Remember too these articles are NOT PLR. The content cannot be used anywhere else which adds to their exclusivity and value far more than PLR member sites where there are few to no restrictions.

Also you can start with 5 to 15 articles on the site initially and then add one or two each week. The RSS feed randomly selects a paragraph from one of the articles and pings the search engines randomly between 1 to 10 days thus adding to the illusion of fresh content being added. As you add additional content it will be used in the RSS feed as well automatically, provided you put it in the article folder. 

The content is also updated every 1 to 10 days by means of the incoming RSS feeds. You control how often each site is updated in the configuration file by changing the variable in that file, $cachetime = 10; to how often in days you want the incoming feeds updated. Why would you not want to update them as often as possible? So that the search engine spiders are not likely to detect that they are not being updated manually.  With so few members and so many ways to make each site different there is no reason to be concerned about this at all. The search engines look for reoccurring patterns that number in the thousands. Our 125 sites will not come anywhere near their radar.

That’s my opinion, what’s yours?

A Product Launch Is A Lot Of Work. Whew!

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

Don’t ever let anyone tell you a launch is not a heck of a lot of work. Whew! So many little things to take care of. And big ones too of course.

Anyway, I promised to provide the answers to most JVs frequently asked questions. I’m going one better.

Here are the answers to every question I’ve received so far.

1. Are there only 125 places available so will the most that we’ll be able to earn in commission will be 48.5×125?

It’s 125 places per group. Each group has their own content etc. So we can have as many groups as needed up to a point. I think we can handle just about as many sales as you can throw at us.

I don’t go into that detail on the site because since every group is entirely different it should not be an issue and it doesn’t hurt playing the scarcity card.

2. Are you keeping track of the affiliate cookies during the pre-launch or just at the initial launch? Meaning when I send traffic there through my link will the cookies stick throughout the launch or just during pre-launch? 

Cookies are set for 60 days so unless your subscriber deletes them or visits thru a different affiliate after you, they will be cookied with your affiliate ID.

I’m working on a script to automatically add your Clickbank ID into the links to the site in the autoresponder series they are subscribing to instead of using naked links which relie on your original cookie. This would reset the cookie for another 60 days each time an autoresponder or broadcast message goes to them. However, it isn’t working yet.

I’m sure we have some JV partners who have solved this. How about a little help on this guys.

3. As an affiliate can I see what it is I’m promoting? It sounds good.

Yes, the end product for members are the 10 websites we provide each month. You can see samples of these on the sales page at http://privatenicheempire.com/salespage.php

4. I would like to have access to your product to write a real review.

I thought about this long and hard and while I hate not being able to grant this request when you think about it we’ve got well over a hundred JV Partners already signed up and if we provide access the exclusivity of at least one entire group is gone. And that’s something that we promised our members we would guard jealously.

Perhaps I’ll provide a video of the interior of the members site if I can find the time before the launch on Feb. 10th.

5. I want to promote using your sales page.  Can I take your sales page and change towards my keywords for your launch?  I want to get your permission before I would do that.  Then I can send them straight to clickbank if that’s OK with you.

I don’t think I have any objections. I’d like to see the page though. You need to use the robots noindex nofollow tag so that I don’t get duplicate content issues if you are using a lot off the sales page.

6. Are these sites blogs or static websites?

Static websites. You can easily add a blog to them since we have matching themes.

7. Is hosting included or do we upload to our own servers?

You upload to your own.

8. Is the website or blog fully loaded with all content, ready for upload?

Yes.

9. Do we have the ability to edit our sites or add more content, such as images & videos?

Yes. It’s very easy to add things. It’s a modular PHP and CSS design and we show you on videos.

10. Do we load our own adsense campaign/channel on to each site?

All you do is insert your Adsense ID into a configuration file. The same with your Clickbank and Amazon IDs.

11. Do we choose the affiliate product(s) we want to promote with each site or do you?

We do but you can easily change it and promote anything you want.

12. Do we receive the keyword research for each site monthly to use for more social marketing and building backlinks to the site?

Not currently but if we receive enough requests for it we will.

13. What backlinks are creating on your side or how do you assist us in getting top ranking for each micro niche?

Sites are thoroughly SEOed and have their own outgoing RSS feeds which ping the SEs.

14. What support is offered each month? membership forum, email questions, etc?

No forum. My personal belief is that most people waste too much time on them and it hurts their chances for success. With the outstanding email support we give, why take the chance on getting misinformation when you can communicate directly to the horse’s mouth. We also provide a telephone number that we actually answer most of the time, but email is more efficient.

15. I’d like to get this product for myself. If I can sign up now I’ll be able to promote it with a review. Is that possible.

You can go ahead and sign up thru the salespage if you want. Several affiliates have already done that.

16. I was trying to download your affiliate promotional banners at: http://privatenicheempire.com/images/banners.zip but could not get the site file loaded so I didn’t know if your server was down or having problems.

I just double-checked and it downloaded. Try again. If you continue to have problems just go to http://privatenicheempire.com/images/ and grab them one by one.

17. You seem to have a lot of great testimonials for a product that is just launching. How did you get these?

We started this idea almost 3 years ago with a product called Article Explosion on a very limited one group basis. It has done so well we are expanding.

You can read a more detailed explanation here: http://netinsiders.com/article-explosion-morphing-into-private-niche-empire/

If you have any other questions don’t hesitate to email or call.

Oh, and if you did not email today, please do so tonight or tomorrow. This first video is crucial in setting the stage for good conversions on launch day.

Would love to see your comments.

Earn Top Commissions Per Sale. Clickbank Proof.

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

Welcome Private Niche Empire JV Partners.

Testing has proven Private Niche Empire will be a top earner on Clickbank. It already is.

Let me say up front that the following comparison of current clickbank stats is not meant to be a slam on any other product. All of them are great products. These are just the hard cold facts.

The reason I am pointing this out is because if you miss this launch you will miss out on an opportunity to make a huge difference in your income.

Take a look at the Clickbank stat Total $/sale. That’s the total dollar amount affiliates average from one sale. With CBs new recurring billing I think that is the key number now.

Private Niche Empire - Total $/sale: $124.42

- Compare Total $/sale to Recent Popular CB Products-

Google Ambush - Total $/sale: $56.91
The Guru Assassin - Total $/sale: $27.06
Google Annihilation - Total $/sale: $12.55
Project Archimedes - Total $/sale: $29.67
Project Black Mask - Total $/sale: $56.14
Affiliate Payload - Total $/sale: $62.53
The Affiliate Conspiracy - Total $/sale: $45.58 CB
Inner Circle - Total $/sale: $30.33
Niche Annihilation Method - Total $/sale: $33.24
CB Bonus Domination - Total $/sale: $41.00
Dominating CB - Total $/sale: $81.18
New Dominate CB Site - Total $/sale: $27.82
The Money Siphon System - Total $/sale: $42.92
Commission Blueprint - Total $/sale: $69.15

Private Niche Empire - Total $/sale: $124.42

Go to Clickbank’s marketplace and verify these for yourself.

Plus there is No Hint Of an Affiliate Program On the Sales Page.

That’s a pet peave of mine. As an affiliate it irks me to see an ‘Affiliates’ link or a ‘Make Money’ link on the site I’m promoting. How does it make you feel?

Why is the Dollars Per Sale number so high for PrivateNicheEmpire?

Because it’s a $97 a month sale and members love the product so much that they renew month after month, which means money you can count on every month.

So please consider promoting Private Niche Empire. Your bank balance will thank you.

Private Niche Empire is easy enough for beginners and powerful enough for veterans. It’s for anyone who wants to create an ever increasing flow of money into their bank account nearly on auto-pilot.
