Making Clickbank Your ATM...

I'm going to make this post Short & Sweet =)

I know, I've been missing in action for a while. Yet, I've still been receiving cheques from Clickbank =) Sweet! Not surprisingly, I've got many people emailing me and smsing me to ask me to help them with making money online. Perhaps you're one of them. So, here's my short response.

Basically, as you may have realised by now, I only play the recommendation role, and I do not intend to do otherwise as my making money online is meant to free up my time to spend more quality time with my loved ones and to do the things I love to do =)

Now, I've found 2 resources that are extremely useful for anyone who is serious enough about making real deal money online to do so by simply becoming an affiliate with Clickbank. These 2 resources will turn a newbie into a pro in a very short time... How short? It's up to you to decide. Well, as for me, I consider latecomers very fortunate when I viewed the materials!

1. Clickbank Code - Get this to learn how you can make Clickbank your Long-Term ATM.

2. Maverick Money Makers™ - Join the Club to empower yourself to make at least $397/day.

Michael & Mack have shared some of the most uncoventional secrets and it's a real honour to pick their brains!

NOTE:
You will be subscribed to the vendors' list, and they will email you lots of emails.
Just ignore those emails as they are meant to simply promote other things to you if you don't get their main item. So, before you even read their first email, just purchase the main product and later unsubscribe from their list. Yes, this is follow-up marketing which is common for most Clickbank products... LOL!

Don't Miss This If You Are Serious About Making Big Money!

The Commission Blueprint

As an underground affiliate marketer who has been out of action for weeks since the birth of baby Augustine, I'm happy to see this product being launched. It will most definitely help anyone who is serious about making a real living online and eliminate the need to guess how much wealth one can create within 30 days.

I would say, this is a no-brainer. I know there's much hype about it... The truth is we really can't prevent people from hyping things up and packaging it with all kinds of useless bonuses. After all, these people are merely trying to make a decent living. I hate the hype, it puts people off... especially when it comes from gurus with their overused and gimmicky bonuses... yet, among all the hype online, this one is for real! Well, take it from an underground marketer =)

If you're one of those who are serious about gaining your financial freedom this year, get Your Blueprint HERE.

Friend or Foe...

When you're online, it's not a simple task to determine who your friend or foe is. You'll have people trying to "get fresh" with you for all kinds of reasons... and usually the most prevalent reason is to "empty your bank account"... Well, that's just putting it negatively which most people can relate to =)

The irony of it all is that in real life, things are pretty much the same too!

Just because someone is willing to do a joint venture with you doesn't mean that he or she is your friend. In business, it's just business. If you take things personally, you'll be quite disillusioned. The key is to stay detached.

Sometimes, your friend is someone who will reject your ideas and try to guide you by doing something which you think only a foe would do. You need to look through the razzle dazzle and straight at the intention and motivation behind your friend's actions or words to find the true friendship that sometimes need to hurt you.

Not everyone can be helped in the same way. Some need to be shown a tougher way in order to make it through in life. If you help to break open the cocoon for a moth or butterfly, you're crippling it from flying for life!

Instead of wondering who your friend and foe is, it's better to wonder how good or bad a friend you are to your friends. Then, you'll be able to discern better and not jump to conclusions =) Your perspective in life is bound to change, so let it change for the better, and remember... it always starts from within ourselves.

Hope this post opens up a whole new world for you! Cheers!

Highly Recommended!

I'm sure if you've been online long enough, you would have heard of Jo Han Mok who is known to have broken the E-Code. He recently urged me to have a look at his Sixty Minutes to Freedom... and guess what? After going through his work, I highly recommend it! It's simple to digest and will definitely empower anyone who's seeking to change his/her life in the right direction and the right way!

Thumbs up!

Be like a Child...

As we grow up, we learn how to fail. In order to succeed in any area of our lives, we need to become like a child again. Failure is not an option.

Think about this and I wish you success!

Cloaking your links...

If you're concerned about losing your affiliate commissions to some thieves, your concern is definitely valid. If you visit the Warrior's Forum or any other forum where people gather to talk about marketing online, this is a major concern.

Now, there are many products out there that claim to address this problem. Yet, many of them fail to address the problem by thieving affiliates who get their links from the vendor's affiliate program site...

I've come across http://offto.net recently, have tried the links out, and it saves us the trouble of having to do skip the affiliate page. It's free and I'm actually still testing it out...

I'm sharing this because there have been a lot of requests on how to cloak links and skip affiliate pages ensuring that the cookies etc. are not misplaced... yada yada... and how to create pages to reluctantly replace the already well-written affiliate sales pages...

See, although most would have their problems solved with scripts like the PowerLink Generator and ViralURL, there are a lot of techie stuff to work through...

So, check out http://offto.net for a free solution. Do send me your priceless feedback. Thanks!

Copywriting Basics...

Write these 5 questions down:

1. What is the problem?
2. Why has it not been solved?
3. What are the possibilities?
4. What is different now?
5. What should you do now?

When you are answering these 5 questions, just do it as-a-matter-of-factly. Do not try to be creative. You can get creative later.

1. What is the problem?

Firstly, identify the main problem your target audience faces, in other words, the main problem that your product or service solves. It would help for you to know your audience well in the first place. What are the 3Ps of your audience? Pain ... Problem ... Predicament ...

Do your part. Investigate and Diagnose their Problem first.

It would be a grave mistake to just shove a solution down your audience's throat before getting your audience to acknowledge that there is such a problem in the first place.

They need to know and perceive you as understanding their pain, problem and predicament. So, it is important that you know your audience and what they are facing before embarking on your copywriting.

Write down your target audience's problem in a few sentences. Do not be longwinded about this so that you will have a better focus.

2. Why has it not been solved?

Write down the reason(s) why the problem still continues, persists or lingers. What are the factors preventing a solution? A few factual sentences would do.

3. What are the possibilities?

This is known as possibility thinking. Write down whatever is possible as a solution to your audience's problem. Paint a picture of the way things would be when your audeince's problem has been solved. As usual, a few sentences would do.

4. What is different now?

How will things become for your audience with the solution(s) you have come up with? This is where you introduce yourself and explain how your product or service can help them, and show what is so different about your product or service that will eliminate their problem. This is where your Unique Selling Point/Proposition (USP) comes in. Again, just a few sentences would suffice. Do not rant and rattle on. Write the substance, not the details.

5. What should you do now?

State clearly and explicitly what you want your audience to do. This is your call to action. Simply tell them to respond in some specific way such as opt-in, request a call-back and buy the product or service.

When you are done answering the 5 questions, you will have in your hands the blueprint of your web copy! That would be the meat while the rest is just gravy. With this, you can make sales. This blueprint, consisting of the answers to those 5 simple questions, can be used to create any type of marketing materials... even your elevator speech.

Cheers!

Useful for Marketing Online...

The Authority Black Book is really suitable for bloggers who are seriously considering making a sizeable income online via blogging. It is an easy read and is quite valuable for something that is free =) Besides, there's nothing really black about this black book... LOL!

Bloggers would also love to know how to effectively use social networking from Bob to grow their business significantly. The real key is to find and be yourself... The technical stuff is broken down into digestable units and the lessons are actually easy and enjoyable! Well done, Bob!

Now, whether you're into blogging, socialising... or not... If you're serious about making it big online, then you need to know how to market in a hypnotic manner. To me, this is a MUST HAVE. Regardless of your level of experience, getting Joe Vitale's Hypnotic Marketing 2.0 will most definitely make a marked difference.

Now, there's really no end to learning. It is not how much you learn that will make the difference in any area of your life, but how much of applying what you have learned that will make the difference...

So, get down now to work towards working smart and working less! Cheers!

A Few Solid Recommendations even for Newbies...

If you're really keen on affiliate marketing, follow the links below to arrive at my most sincere and best recommendations that will help you to not just overcome the steep learning curve (indeed it's a steep one), but get you started very soon to make a lot of money for Good...

I've had enough of hype, and I can honestly tell you that most sales pitches sound alike... However, I've checked them out personally and although they do initially sound unbelievable even to me, they are the real deals around. So, please give yourself a real chance to learn and finally reach your earning potential, okay!

Who is Our Enemy?

If we're at war, we'll probably think that our enemies are the people we're fighting. If we're doing marketing online, we probably think that our enemies are our competition, and these are the people we'll try our best to outdo...

Now, the real enemy is much closer to home...

I know of people who see the people around as their enemies, and they live bitter lives because everyone's against them if you know what I mean. The truth is, when we stop perceiving others as our enemies, we usually start winning the battles in life. So, who is our real enemy?

Yes. It's ourselves =)

How then can we overcome this difficult enemy? Love, my friend, is the answer.

Foundation

Success does not seem to come easy for most people due to foundational issues.

When someone is trying very hard to build a foundation, usually the people around him who do not understand the rationale of having a good foundation would find him/her weird, and might even ridicule the person...

Think of which area in your life you'd like to see an improvement in. Check your foundation. If it's weak, work on it. Sounds like common sense? It is.

As you are building your foundation, you will attract many opportunities to test out your foundation. When you are ready, you'll know so, and you'll take the opportunities.

Legal Theft? Hype?

Sometimes, you'll get your inbox filled up very quickly with affiliate sales pitches... then you proceed to check out what the HYPE is going on...

If you're immuned to hype (of which many are still victims of), then you might probably miss this... the Affiliate Hijack. Yet, if you check this out, you'll find that this is seriously good even for newbies! If you're really serious and interested in making money online through affiliate marketing, then this will help you do so in a very short span of time.

This product has real value, is powerful and is really affordable! I wonder why it's sold at such a low price... There's nothing illegal about it and is worth us overlooking the hype it has created... which is natural because that's what most marketers "love" to do or only know to do... LOL!

Help yourself to this unimpressive video...

...FACTS...

Our dear friend Nick Marks LEGALLY earned 221,231.90 in hijacked affiliate sales.

With this, YOU too can duplicate the process to become an instant success online.

This is a shortcut to online success.

This is truly affordable... Unlike some long expensive courses we know =)

This offer will not last forever.

See for yourself...

What do you Hate about affiliate marketing online?

I don't... But if you really must know what I dislike about affiliate marketing online, it is the fact the most affiliate products have a short lifespan. If you like to have your blogs updated with the latest and absolutely hate to see obsolete stuff on your blogs, then you might either want to keep your list of products short or outsource this task. In any case, some organising is necessary.

How to be successful in Affiliate Marketing?

Learning the different building blocks in order to make money online is usually quite an uphill task. First of all, you'll need to have a very strong desire and the resilience to succeed... especially if you're not IT inclined and can't stand being in front of the computer screen for hours.

Yes, there's work to be done. There are plenty to learn so that when you finally need to apply your knowledge in some way or other, things will suddenly fall into place. Life's like that.

Affiliate Marketing is not the only way to make money online, but it is one of the most popular ways among the 1 to 2 per cent who actually make money online. Although it's highly profitable, it might or might not suit you. Only you can decide that for yourself.

If you think it's for you, you'll need to consider getting yourself a website you can call your own. You need a domain name and a place to store or host your webpages and all the data like text, images, databases, videos etc. that make them possible. Don't do so and you'll not be taken seriously...

You'll need to know how to use capture or squeeze pages and integrate driving web traffic with sales conversion. Focusing on one without the other can sometimes be quite meaningless... Using autoresponders to follow up with your optin list of people is important. Offering value or discounts or bonuses... are some excellent ways to get people to take action. List building is just as important as everything else...

So, how can anyone be truly successful with so many things to consider and learn and eventually integrate together?

I've been asked very often what I consider as most important for success in affiliate marketing... You must have heard many versions of the same answer by now. Yes, in short, to be able to identify a rabid market and then sell them exactly what they want to buy. However, on hindsight, I think the most important thing in achieving success in affiliate marketing is the ability to use targeted keywords to seek out the target market on the internet using the search engines or the like.

In the real world, targeting blindly may still bring in satisfactory results because it's not as dynamic and fast as the Internet. However, over the Internet, it's really a different ball game. If you snooze you lose... and that's losing a lot faster than in the real world.

Now, one of the most effective ways to do affiliate marketing is to do your marketing offline. However, the same marketing skills apply. You need to be a good copywriter to get the desired results. If you can't do that well, outsource.

Hope this post and other posts on this blog will help you succeed beyond your wildest imaginations =) God bless you!

The Law of Attraction Simplified... and Faith in God...

The Law of Attraction is not difficult to master, but it won't be easy either for starters.

Basically, clarity is needed, and meditation or similar exercises would help to enhance that as focus and the balancing of emotions are critical.


You attract what you WANT. Your thoughts and your emotions will eventually manifest in reality. What you think of or feel will become reality. Work at your emotions... Do your best to feel good.


Think of the things you WANT. Don't think of the things you don't want.


I know you don't want a mountain of bills. So, don't think of even the word "bills". If you think of a word which is something you don't want, replace that word with some silly object to help you dismiss it.

Now, the Law of Attraction merely exists because we're made in the image and likeness of God, our Creator. We are made a little less than God, and a realization of this amazing truth will most definitely help us fulfill our purpose and potential in life.

The way Christians too can practise this law is to have Faith. When we trust the Lord God, we simply do not worry about our situations and trust in His Divine Providence. Yes, when we have little faith, we simply worry more.

Whatever we ask for IN HIS NAME, we will receive. The key is to ask IN HIS NAME. That's why when we're not in line with the Mind of Christ, what we ask for will not be given.

When we align ourselves with Christ, we will have a better vision about how to live our lives and what we need to fulfill this vision. Divine Providence will take over naturally.

Champions

We are all champions!

We might not be aware of our own potential for a whole list of reasons...
Let's be aware now and live like one!

Cheers!

The SECRET to ONLINE SUCCESS...

I've been asked many times
how an ordinary person like myself
has been able to live off the internet
for so many years...
Do you want to know what's the REAL SECRET?

Firstly, I'm like you...
We're not ordinary. We're SPECIAL. LOL!

My Real Secret is this:
Befriend WISDOM, DON'T WASTE TIME ON LIES,
EXERCISE THE LAW OF ATTRACTION
& FOCUS on MINDING & GROWING
YOUR OWN BUSINESS...

After researching many years for better ways
to grow my online income, I've seen
many "SECRETS" being "revealed" by
countless "gurus"...
(legitimate, underground and fake ones too)

The REAL SECRET is: There is NO SECRET.
They are mostly lies and hype.
Well, sometimes statements like this would
offend people, but who cares!

In fact, I'm not the only one who has observed
this to be true. I'm sure you know it
in your heart too...

Those who have succeeded are basically
wiser risk-takers who were/are
at the right place at the right time.
They merely treat the opportunities
they've encountered as Business Ventures,
take action swiftly and have stopped
looking out for that ONE MAGIC BUTTON or
that ONE GET RICH QUICK SECRET.

They all take small steps.
Made a couple of bucks...
Multiply the same efforts...
Reinvest their profits, and
multiply some more... and
eventually have multiple streams of income too!

Conquer your obstacles stage by stage,
step by step... Make sure your footing is
firm before you proceed with the other foot...
Rushing the process is quite self-defeating.

They turn a deaf ear to those who spread
fears, anxieties and doubts. They just focus on
planning and researching for better ways to
grow their businesses and
communicate with those who join them and
offer whatever support they could possibly offer...

That's all!

If you're looking to make a quick million,
think again. Have you made your first thousand yet?

Focus on making your first $1000, then when
you've succeeded, repeat your steps to make sure
it's not fluke... Then, you're on your way!

Last, but not least... Read Matthew 11:28.

To Your Success!

Hmmm...

Marketing online is not easy for everyone.
So, knowing a reliable resource or two does make a difference.

Marketing your affiliate product using the CAC's Ultimate Ad Package
is easy and it will pay well.

We can take other steps like the following (apparently not an exhaustive list)
to improve our earning potential:
* Get our own domain name
* Host our domains
* Learn to use PPC for free and apply it to automate your advertising efforts.
* Advertise offline if that suits you.
* Use the Search Engines themselves to search for already
SEO friendly sites to post our ads for maximum exposure etc.

May You Have a Blessed Life & Abundant Years Ahead!

The Way We Look At Things...

Many people are going after the same things in life... Some succeed better than others. Why? And that applies also to making money online.

Using a fool-proof system doesn't make a fool less a fool. Think about it.

You'll find that people with very positive thinking tend to be more successful... What do we mean by thinking positive? Does it mean that in order to be successful, we need to force feed ourselves with only positive thoughts? If you try doing that, you'll be drained out in no time!

No, it's not forcing thoughts into our minds that would make a real change. It's about how we look at things. I'm sure you've heard of this analogy many times...
When you look at a half filled cup, what do you see? Do you see it as half FULL or half EMPTY?

We're taught to solve "problems" in schools. What the world sees as "problems" are actually challenges and opportunities for someone with a transformed mindset. Changing the way you view your situations will definitely help you see life just the way it really is quite effortlessly =)

May a change begin in you now and may your life be transformed in the right direction =)

Awesome Income!

Making money online has been a great learning journey for me... Recently, I've finally got down to check out how to make an income using Domain Names... Totally blew me away!

Talk about driving targeted traffic and making money on autopilot... Well, this is something many people can do... Use a little creativity and the sky won't be able to limit us!

If you've not been able to make money so far no matter how hard you've tried, you should definitely give this a go! This renegade millionaire will expose the ways to make a lucrative income with expired domains in a very simple and interactive way. I've seen his videos... and this has certainly changed the way I'd be running my online biz.

Be sure to get your hands on this! It's premium stuff!

Here's a Worship Song... Composed in 1996...

Here's sharing a worship song that I've composed in 1996.
What has it got to do with The Secret? My Top Secret is God =)

http://www.byoaudio.com/play/WYCzb3JQ

Here are the lyrics:

Into Your Hands I Commend My Spirit

You are the Lord of my salvation
You are my King
You are Jehovah my Provider
You are my everything

Chorus:
And I give my life my life to You
My whole my whole life
Take it from me O Lord
Yes I give my love my love to You
To You and my neighbours
Into Your hands I commend my spirit

You are the Alpha and Omega
You are my God
You are Jehovah my Healer
You are the Lord of lords

Cheers!

Your WHY...

If you don't know WHY you do what you do, you'll end up nowhere.
Clarify your WHY and you'll start making progress =)

Cheers!

Some Initial Online Marketing Concerns...

To build and own a website is one of the first concerns many would have when it comes to doing an affiliate marketing business online. Another common concern would be how one could outdo the fierce competition.

Now, the important key to marketing online effectively is to know how to find keywords that would give you an edge when it comes to marketing in almost any way... Be it just writing a free article, doing a press release, doing ppc... even using Adsense to make money requires you to know what keywords are most relevant and profitable!

It's hardly any good to simply pluck out keywords from sites with good ranking. It's honestly not enough to "copy" the heavy hitters and those who have tried to do so would know what I mean. You will not get the same results as the heavy hitters... and you need to know how to find and use better keywords if you want to stay your ground. Well, most keyword research tools would simply cost you a lot before you could ever see any good result.

Today, I would like to introduce to you something that's pretty cool and would help you to even make money from Google Adsense. If you'd like to find out more, watch the movies HERE and decide for yourself if this keyword system tool is for you.

Another Key is in having a solid converting website with your own domain name and the products listed and ready to be sold. Doing it all by yourself is possible, but it is possible to outsource all these tasks and get a proven to work website all set up to work for you. In fact, HERE is one of the easiest ways to get started. All the necessary steps are listed out for you to follow religiously. This, however, doesn't work for everyone... It's a lot of work for newbies especially...

Still, it is possible to have things set up by yourself very quickly if you are willing to learn how. You could get your own domain name easily and have it hosted. As for building your website, you could use a free WYSIWYG editor like NVU (just do a search) or even notepad if you know how =)

One tested and proven recommendation to get you up on your feet and in profit very quickly and easily with great support provided can be found *** HERE ***. I personally highly recommend this =)

Now, many people who want to get a piece of the affiliate marketing pie think that affiliate marketing is easy and that the learning curve is easy to overcome. Many seasoned affiliates have been making it look easy... Even the super affiliates would like you to believe that it's easy.

The truth is it takes time and there are many things to learn and unlearn. The idea that it's easy to achieve is very attractive, but the degree of "easiness" varies between individuals. It's just like cooking. Some people need very little effort to whip up a marvellicious meal, but some just can't even get started. Yes, affiliate marketing doesn't really suit everyone. Some people will feel better off just working for others...

Don't misunderstand me... I don't mean that it's difficult. Where there's a will, there's always a way. I just want to let you know that not everyone can just pick it up and find it easy. Even with the best guru around, there will certainly still be struggles and obstacles to overcome. And most people give up before they can see the light... many give up just inches away from the prize... Sad? It's just a reality that people choose for themselves.

Those who succeed are those who get started and persevere to the very end come what may. They are usually better when it comes to adapting themselves to different situations, and that's what we call resilience in them.

Identifying your target market, exposing them to your marketing materials on a regular basis and getting sales would in all honesty need some time and effort. Although using the Internet would speed things up, an enduring patience would still be required to reap greater success in most cases.

Hence, I'll tell you honestly that it will take some time and effort to learn and master the ropes. It may or may not be easy for you, but if you push on, it will become easy or easier. In fact, it's getting easier nowadays, and of course with ease comes more competition, and with competition comes more challenges.... Yes, it goes into a cycle.

If you think that getting an ebook now will last you forever, think again. The real test comes when you need to re-align yourself, discard the obsolete and adapt to future trends and progress.

Let's face it. If you're too lazy to embark on a lifelong learning journey, then online marketing could be tough on you if you want to DIY. There are truly many things to consider. Well, one of the shortcuts would be to outsource all the Research and Development, all the mundane tasks... Although that's a smart option, it does come with its unique set of challenges... things like quality, security and budget.

To me, your success in any field or industry always begins from within. You may already know this to be true, but has this truth really sunken in yet? Simple things like having confidence and faith and loving who you are and the people around you may sound really simple and even cheap... Yet, these simple things really do matter.

Get your inner self right, and everything will flow from then! Cheers!

Prayer...

For those who are Christians and are confused about how The Secret doesn't conflict with Christ, here's how... The crux of the matter lies in how we interpret The Secret.

Similar to the different movements we have in Church, different people will interpret different movement differently. Doesn't mean that when there's disagreement, the Truth ceases to exist. Sounds complex, but let me explain it a little here.

Example, those in the Charismatic movement will see the Spirit at work in a dynamic and sometimes dramatic way. Those who love meditation will see the Spirit at work in a different way and may not agree with those in the Charismatic movement. Those who love rituals will see the Spirit at work in very human ways...

They may all misinterpret each other or even their own ways! Let me explain the latter as the former needs no explanation... Example a Charismatic person may even think that he's the healer after experiencing God's healing through him!

We are all stewards given the full authority of the Lord. How we use it or abuse it, we'll all have to give an account eventually. Remember Lord of the Rings? The Return of the King is inevitable. What kind of steward we are depends on what we hold dear to our heart.

With all these said, do enjoy the article I've written about prayer. May you enjoy the Peace of God =) Here's my secret... Prayer...

Autoresponders..

One of the most essential tools in online marketing would be the autoresponders...


One of the consistent best of the lot would be Aweber...

If your sales/product page doesn't convert well for whatever reason, having an autoresponder work for you might just help you salvage your business. It gives people a second, third, fourth... chance to become more familiar with you and/or what you have to offer. It can help you build a strong rapport which can lead to a long-term relationship and business.

I strongly discourage the use of free autoresponders to do your follow-up because they usually come decorated with other people's ads, causing your message to look pale, unimportant and unprofessional... So, it's a Big NO NO.

It's your business. Treat it and run it like one and you'll earn likewise.

Wealth Generation

Money is seriously not all there is to wealth. Say you want to attract wealth into your life... Are you thinking of wealth as only money? If you only equate wealth to money, that is by far the narrowest way of defining it. Wealth should include all other areas of your life... your health, relationships etc. May you be wealthy in more than just one way!

Most people join a program and just become that program, and forget that there's so much more to it than that! Well, your perspective does affect your performance.

When you get your idea of wealth right, you'll be amazed at the results you can then produce!

Cheers to Your Upcoming Success!

Why People Can't Make Money Online?

Here's a past article that I would like you to read and digest... Enjoy it too =)

Silly Questions...

Here's the article about Silly Questions.

As Affiliates... Do We Need To Buy What We Market?

Good question. My answer:

It would be obviously advantageous but not necessary.

Why? As affiliates, we're not selling but preselling.

Just do some basic research using the search engines and you'll find out many things about your affiliate product. Focus on what problems your target market is facing and how your product is a great solution. In your preselling, you present your findings like what the symptoms and signs of the problems are & the consequences if they are not identified early... Then, point them to your affiliate product as a great and plausible solution. Simply directing them will usually be sufficient since most people would appreciate the research you've done and put into one convenient place.

Read the above paragraph again if you will... I know you'll benefit from it =)

If you've bought and personally experienced the product, you can easily talk about the benefits and features of getting the affiliate product, but you may also overkill your preselling if you're not careful...

Personally, I usually get the product to find out more before I promote.
