Outsourcing is a constant battle too. You have to get “key personel” to make it really worthwhile. Working on getting more as we speak…

Well done, Alex! c) I'll bet that sending "very targeted traffic", accounted for at least a doubling of that response rate, (i.e. great Copy got 3.5%; Targeting turned that into 7%). Finally, let us all re-read, this month's "Concise Words of Genius"... "If I can’t scale it and outsource it, I don’t want it." Pure, frickin' genius... understood by every online business-person, who's up to his/her ears in "click-work"... ;-) Hey Guys,

The old ego is a dangerous pitfall. I’ve tried to kill him many times but he keeps coming back…

Cialdinin is some of the best stuff I’ve read on the topic.

Though I havent shelled out the money yet, I've decided that I would become a master of my trade, which essentially means that in addition to mastering ppc, affiliate marketing, and all the other jazz, I will someday undertake the dark art of becoming a copywriter. Ive looked at purchasing John Carlton's course. He comes highly recommended by some of the best out there. So even if my affiliate marketing ventures bombed, I could still freelance PPC, SEO, and Copywriting services. Currently reading Cialdini to master some of the necessary persuasion techniques that make up an effective sales letter. I hear you on this one…my ego and I had the same talk.
