I subscribe to a really cool e-zine that gives me a short marketing tip on a daily basis and I wanted you to know about it.

What I like about it is not only the great content, but also the format. The tips never take me more than 30 seconds to read.

I got permission to share this one with you. It's a great example of how powerful a brief tip can be.

Want a whole new market for your e-book/audio/video?

Some weeks ago I posted a message to the $7 Secrets Forum which mentioned a report I had run across about optimizing your home page for conversions. It was interesting to me -- and should be interesting to you -- because what that really means is "making
your sales letter sell."

Since then I've had the opportunity to look over the whole site and I am impressed! Free IQ has free and paid content on just about every information niche you can imagine -- and they want you to add your content to their offerings.

Free IQ handles the fulfillment of your digital products and it looks like you will pocket up to 85 percent of the sales price of your premium (paid) products, depending on who referred the customer to the site. You can pay affiliates 25-50%.

I wouldn't presume to tell you how to run your business, but it seems to me Free IQ is a great way to promote free content—a product of yours, perhaps, that will encourage the user to purchase additional paid products on Free IQ or your own website. Kinda like a $7 Secrets giveaway product to get the back-end (OTO) sale.

You can join as a content provider or as an affiliate; I recommend that you join as an affiliate so you can promote additional Free IQ products and get paid for that, too.

However you choose to use Free IQ, it looks like there's a fantastic opportunity to reach potential customers who don't know your e-book, audio, or video exists. Don't miss out!

(BTW, there are still a few free DVDs left of Russell Brunson's DotCom Secrets.)

What do you suppose is the biggest obstacle to getting people to buy from you?

Particularly if you're new to Internet marketing, you'll find that getting people to trust you is the most important thing to do if you're going to get people to buy your product, subscribe to your list, or even click on a link you've sent to them.

Overcoming the Trust Barrier is the first video in a powerful new series designed to show you how to apply testing and optimization to achieve maximum conversion with your online marketing system.

Created by Doug Hudiburg, a corporate marketing consultant and founder of Strategies for Optimization.com and Daily Marketing Ace.com, this series offers practical strategies to improve your online marketing success. In "Overcoming the Trust Barrier," Doug reveals a fool-proof system for eliminating the #1 reason that qualified prospects don't buy from you.

Overcoming the Trust Barrier is not yet available to the general public, but Doug has allowed me to make it available to you—a $7 Secrets user—through a special arrangement—before he opens it up to your competitors.

I'm sure you will find (as I did) that Overcoming the Trust Barrier clearly explains the concepts behind the most successful marketing systems (including $7 Secrets), helps you refine your selling process and even opens up new markets for you as you promote your products and the $7 Secrets system.

I'd love to hear your comments after you've watched the video!
