Recently, in THIS blog post, I revealed how I’ve developed a system that automatically gets me sales and subscribers. There were a lot of fantastic comments. I think you realise now what a simple business model it is – and how profitable it can be.
This is just a short post to give you even further motivation that this is the business model for you.
Here’s what happened.
Every Saturday, me and my friends at university, gather for 3pm to watch all the football (soccer) results come through. Last Saturday we’d just settled down with a few beers and I decided to check my email one last time.
My email showed that I’d made three new sales of Accelerated List Building. That’s not unusual, but what was unusual was that they had all come in the last three minutes. I checked the sales receipts and noticed that they’d all come from the same affiliate. I checked the name of the affiliate and immediately recognised the name. He’s not one of the big guru marketers, but he’s definitely a guy with a lot of power, and I assume a pretty big list.
From that point on, I knew I was in for an exciting few hours. I completely lost focus on the football, and instead spent most of the time with my laptop open watching my emails.
A new sales receipt was coming through every one, two or three minutes. This carried on for about four hours, and then the sales gradually started to decline. (Although there were still sales coming through every 5-15 minutes).
By the next morning sales were still being generated by this affiliate at a rate of about one sale per half an hour, but then by the early afternoon something strange happened.
The sales started flooding in again at a rate of every few minutes. I checked a few sales receipts and noticed most of these sales were from another affiliate. After a little bit of digging, I found out that this affiliate had purchased my product a few hours earlier after being referred by the previous affiliate.
Then more sales started coming through from customers who had become affiliates. Sales were flooding in and all because of the viral nature of the business model.
After only 72 hours, I’d made over 300 sales!
You see, on my download page I explain four steps my customer should take to get the most from their purchase.
Step 1: I explain they should confirm their email address to get updates, great content and special offers.
Step 2: I provide them with the download links for Accelerated List Building, The 5 Day List Building Action Plan, & The Great Big List Building Lie.
Step 3: I suggest my customers go and check out a special offer for Instant Internet Lifestyle. I only get $20 commission but that’s not the main reason I promote it, it’s because it’s a fantastic product. Click here if you want to check it out.
Step 4: (This is the clever bit) I explain to my customer how they can become an affiliate and resell Accelerated List Building to make instant commissions. A large proportion of them at least register as an affiliate and some of them do a promotion, whether it’s just a Tweet to their followers, a review on their blog, or a solo mailing to their subscribers. Plus, once I have someone registered as an affiliate, I use a secret system to encourage them to promote my product.
I hope this gives you some motivation to go out and implement this business model.
I hope you enjoyed this!

Excellent viral sales and list building James! Pretty neat result!
So I guess we have to sign up as an affiliate to get the entire system???
Certainly not.
