Niche Blueprint

It is quite an amazing promise, the chance to earn millions online, while learning and setting up your own eCommerce stores to sell drop-shipped products and earn huge commissions.   Can Niche Blueprint live up to it?   Well, we’ll have to wait at least 3-4 weeks as the content for the entire course will be delivered one week at a time until I have it all.   I can honestly say from the looks of the first two modules – “Yes, this looks like another winner” for Tim and Steve.  The purchase routes you through a membership system where you setup an account and login immediately to begin downloading.  The first two modules are available for immediate download, with the remaining 7 coming one week apart.  I like the fact that they have staggered the delivery – it helps prevent you from becoming overwhelmed!

UPDATE: March 12, 2009

I’ve went through all of the materials and Niche Blueprint is a superb product. Tim and Steve also provide you with a free drop-ship website for finding products, and: custom SEO information with specific details on how to gain top spots. Combined with their excellent customer service I rate this product a solid 4.5 *’s out of 5. I just wish there were a little more product in their drop-shipper directory, but other than that – if you can’t find a drop-shipper they will personally locate one for you – amazing….

The course continues in typical Tim and Steve style!  I really love it, basically it’s Tim walking you through everything, step by step on video.  I blow it up to full screen, watch a little, then put it into action – doing the homework while Tim continues on.   If the info comes to fast, I’ll pause the video, watch it again, then go back to my work on my local machine – I like to download the videos (you have a choice of download, or watching online) as it gives me excellent clarity and I don’t have to worry about a dropped internet connection.  Ok, so, what do you get, a hands-on, and I mean very hands on approach which is taught step-by-step – it’s fun and even exciting to learn this way.  If you have Zero Technical Skills – you’re going to find that it’s very easy to get a handle on.   There is one software that you’ll want to consider purchasing as it’s used throughout the program, Market Samurai – which I have used myself for several months now.  So far, other than that, nothing else is required, and everything else is included.

While considering the purchase – I did have to wonder if this would be as good as purchasing another ‘well known’ drop ship package such as the one offered from World Wide Brands.   I can’t say from direct experience as I do not own the World Wide Brands package – but it does seem well supported and documented and offers a 30 day money back guarantee for $297.  It also features access to a drop-shipping/import/wholesale database of suppliers, which is another major feature of Niche Blueprint.   I’m not really at a place to make a comparison yet, but I’ll do that over the next several months when I do try out the World Wide Brands package.  I can say that working with Tim and Steve while using Commission Blueprint has been nothing but pure joy – the support requests to the forums get answered immediately and they are always right on target with what I need… since in the forums (support desk for Niche Blueprint) you are working directly with the creators of the package, it would be very difficult to imagine anyone being able to match the support.  This alone makes Niche Blueprint unique, and well worth it.

Also included free database access to a supplier database, and if that’s not good enough, they will help you directly locate a supplier to get your business moving.  The videos/PDFs are extremely well done – the videos are clear, conscise and right to the point: they walk you hand in hand through each process – it’s top-notch, and shows why the Commission Blueprint course (the product before Niche Blueprint) did so well in sales.

Regarding the ‘Commission Blueprint’ course that in 2008 took the internet marketing community by storm. It sold over 15,000 copies in just 8 weeks.  The success stories have been coming in, I’ve played with it myself, and consider it a viable option – but, you are still required to come up with an AdWords campaign budget to get started with Commission Blueprint (you are NOT required to have this for Niche Blueprint) so, I know it does put some people off – myself included, either way the sequel to Commission Blueprint expectation has been very high.

“Niche Blueprint” is an comprehensive course (Video and PDF books) that reveals the exact strategies they use to generate  hundreds of thousands of dollars each year from setting up simple niche E-commerce sites selling physical products.   This is done exclusivey through drop shipping, and since I got my own start in Internet Marketing that way, I know it is a viable option.

Tim and Steve have teamed with David Hermansen and Michael Hermansen who have years of experience with the E-commerce business and the ability and desire to teach this brand new material to others.  The course includes 23 videos and 26 manuals (PDF format). Some of their own successes in this area have been featured in the New York Times and on television for Fox News.  They have some incredible proof of income from a number of sites making huge amount of cash in very obscure markets such as ‘Sewing Machines’ and ‘Train Horns’ – I know it sounds bizarre, but you want to see that kind of sub-niche (micro-niche) success to know that the system works.

You’ll see an example of a simple website selling ‘Bird Cages’ (even a child could setup) that was recently sold for $173,000.  Yes, that’s right, and that is a lot of money!  Basically you’ll learn how to sell the websites for about the amount the earn in one year (annual profit), or if you like, just run them and keep earning the dough – it’s your choice.

From what I have seen so far, I can tell you that Niche Blueprint eliminates many of the problems that most of internet marketers will run up against when trying to get started creating an income online.  How does it do that, well – it makes things a whole lot easier because: it doesn’t involve selling digital goods such as ebooks, software or promoting other peoples products such as affiliate products. In most cases then the  competition is almost non-existent.

The good news for most people (and what really sets ‘Niche Blueprint’ apart from other internet marketing products) is that to make money with these methods, you don’t need a list, a product, any affiliates or even joint venture partners.  You also do not  need any additional investment, website skills or any online business experience at all. In other words, literally anyone can become successful with this – with very little setup time.

I have also heard that they have gone so far as creating a new hosting company and replicating a number of other services so that there is literally nothing else to buy once you have access to the course – short of having your own domain name ( you will want to purchase that, but they run about $8.00/annually).  Every one knows that 2009 is going to be a very tough year financially. There are going to be a large number of job losses no matter which county you live in and as a result there could be a very strong possibility that you will need some sort of financial back up if something bad happens to your job, or any other type of financial unthinkable occurs.

Since Tim and Steven have made this a ‘risk-free’ proposition (they will refund your money within 45 days if you are not happy), it’s really a no-brainer.  I highly-recommend it, REMEMBER: the last time they offered this it sold out in 36 hours, so I recommend that you get over there right now and get signed up – do it now…   Check it out at: NicheBlueprint.com

There is one reason I feel that this is shocking, and it’s something that everyone who works at a job in a retail environment.  Just a few days ago the news reads – Amazon posts it’s largest Holiday Season profit!  What should this tell you? Several things, and here they are…

Reasons why the 2008 Holiday Retail failure is important to everyone

1. It’s the brick and mortar, real storefront stores that are having a hard time making it and things are probably going to get worse.
2. Online retailers are still cranking out the profits in record amounts, they are unaffected by these problems.
3. Any job related to the retail industry is in trouble.
4. People, in general are shopping less and less in real stores, and more and more in online environments.

I think you can see the trend here, as the real storefronts (brick and mortar stores) face disastrous consequences in recession, the online retailers and those in online business are doing just fine (thank you).   Why is that important to ‘honest Joe’ on the street?   Because, in my opionion, if you haven’t started to think about how you can become a part of the online business bonanza, you should be!

I have ran my own online business for over 11 years now, through tough times and good times, and I can honestly say that the profits and the ability to earn an income online is just as secure.  I believe it is even more secure than most jobs in real ‘brick’ stores, or locations where you will have to worry about how every economic downturn, or upswing will affect your salary or benefits.

What are the simple things anyone can do to consider an online business?

1.) Visit Finding Your Niche Live and find out where your real strengths are.
2.) Check out this post on my blog about how anyone can start making money – with or without technical skills.
3.) Determine a “plan of action” for 2009 that includes additional online revenue streams that you can use to make your income more secure.
4.) Sign up as an affiliate of Amazon and learn how to sell Amazon products and collect some of their record profits for yourself, this could include blogging posts, reviews of products, or even setting up a basic referral page on a free service such as Google ‘Sites’.

I bet you will feel a little more secure in 2009 if you start planning any type of online income for yourself. Start doing it now, or at least thinking about it, your life will change, and you will be less affected by the crazy economic news that’s been going on.

Best of luck and to your Profit and Success,

1.) Website Magazine – a completely free magazine that covers all of the bases.  When I first found out about this I thought it was too good to be true.  A free sample came to my mailbox, and now that I’ve read the last 15-20 issues, I have to say, this is one of my top favorites, and best of all, it’s free.   Get your free copy at this address: http://www.websitemagazine.com/scripts/sub/subscribe.aspx
Check it out at this address: http://www.websitemagazine.com

2.) The Net Effect – owned by Stomper Net, this great magazine just started a few months ago. I can tell from the content that this is going to be a great magazine. Everything is covered, SEO in great detail, linking, customer service and support, analytics and analysis, blogging, web audio and video. The magazine averages about 50 pages/month, the articles are detailed and actionable (they focus on you taking action) and it even includes a ‘How to turn this issue into a Goldmine!’ page at the end of each issue with 15-20 things you can follow up on from that issue. Great stuff. Unfortunately right now they are no longer accepting subscriptions, but you owe it to yourself to sign up for the waiting list, here’s the website to do it at: http://stse2.com/. The magazine goes for around $40/month and an additional $20/month for an accompanying DVD.

3.) Dot Com Profits – Russel Brunson’s magazine is a joy to read and also full of valuable content, just not quite as much as The Net Effect, but almost. The number of articles are fewer, but longer, and a DVD/video is included with each issue. I think this one runs $39.97, more info at: http://membershipsite.dotcomsecrets.com/

That wraps up my list for now, stay tuned and I’ll post others that I find useful – or post a comment and let me know of some that you enjoy…

I just finished about 2 hours trying to solve a problem on my website, caused by file transfers that were not taking place correctly – what a hassle.  Sometimes, even I wish I could go the ‘easy route’ and just concentrate on what I really love doing.  I know that you may have very little technical skills – or none at all, but still desire to own your own online business. 

I want you to know, don’t worry it’s still possible.  If you can point/click, and use your browser – which you are doing right now, then you will be very happy to know that there is an alternative to having to learn all of this ‘techno-mumbo-jumbo’.   About 5 years ago now, I even tried this program out myself – but that was way before all of the cool new additions (blogging, ecommerce, rss feeds, etc).   At the time – I decided to continue on with doing my own programming, and tech work (I do have a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science). 

I did setup a site and had changing setups/colors/options with a single click, but I felt that I could do better on my own, which is how you may also feel – especially if you have a technical background…. but…..

If you do NOT have a technical background – and you still want to ‘make it happen’ online, there is only one system I can recommend – as I said, I even purchased one myself and tried it out.  It starts out from the very beginning and walks you through picking the most profitable niche for you – it even tells you how to write your pages, and provides a full editor, theme selector and all web hosting included.

 You can believe me when I say – There is NOTHING to Setup!  So, if this sounds like what you may have had in mind all this time, I’ve put a video describing it below – check that out, then click on through to the main page, you really cannot go wrong with Site Build It!

I’ve tried and used about every internet marketing product on the planet.  I’ve marketed by email, before there were good ways to do it, and I’ve tracked stats, sales and header graphics for over 10 years.  To put it straight, I know what works in the Internet Marketing world and one of my goals is to share it with others who are also looking for freedom from their own jobs.

INFORMATION Overload has become a huge issue, everyone is suggesting to try this, or that, usually something like SEO or traffic tactics, or some new conversion method – the offers come in by the hundreds to my email account every day.  The best thing to do is find a good source for someone who has tried these methods, or who has a real good handle on how they work – so you can TRY to get a handle on whether or not they may be helpful for your business.

Some CALM In the Storm is what I hope to provide through this blog – a well referenced, thoughtful analysis of what works and what does not work in the online world.  In these pages and posts, audios and videos, I’m going to lay it on the line and let you know the best and most useful – THE VERY BEST tools, software, emailers, marketing strategies and techniques to make you successful.  So, watch for new posts coming every day as I document what worked, and what did not work in ‘REAL LIFE’ Internet Marketing.

 It’s the kind of knowledge you rarely find anywhere else – as most other marketers are selling to business owners, or other marketers, this is the real deal, and if I ever stray I want you to let me know about it.  Post your comments and keep them coming as we explore together the best methods and tactics for making it work in Internet Marketing.
