Just Buy Out The Flipping Competition!

I know I haven’t posted much here recently, but I have been pretty busy behind the scenes, believe me.

I have asked more than once for Book Flips success stories and so far have only had one individual come forward to tell his.  You can read about Ron here. 

Today’s post is about a success story of sorts, or maybe I should say TWO success stories.  Probably one of the more well-known and successful book-flippers out there was a self-proclaimed “Average Guy” named Steve Mount.  His success was not all from the actual flips he made though. 

Steve was a Book Flips customer who bought the course, successfully implemented it and THEN… he wrote his own “course.”  Actually, it was more of a case study.  He wrote a very brief pdf, with links to videos of himself completing the book-flipping steps, and sold it as “The Average Guy Marketing Method.”  And he sold quite a few of them.  And put it on Clickbank, where he got some affiliates who sold some more copies.  There you go – Success Story.

However… the final success in this story is my own.  Steve likes to create products, sell some copies, and then flip the whole thing.  (Are you kinda seeing why he liked Book Flips?  aaannnddd… Are you kinda seeing where I am headed here?)

Our friend Steve put Average Guy Marketing up for sale on Flippa.  And Smart Gal Teresa sees it for sale, and (much the way I jumped on Book Flips, way back when) decides she really, really wants to get this case study for her loyal Book Flips customers. 

I didn’t want to pay as much for Average Guy as I did for Book Flips however, because, well.. I do already have the original, right?  So I got into a bit of a bidding war, and at the last minute someone outbid me by using the Buy-it-Now option.  Don’t you hate when that happens?

Well, lucky for me, and lucky for all of my Book Flips buyers, Steve had a deadbeat bidder on his hands.  That sale fell through, so… long-story-short:  he and I were able to come to an agreement and I am now the proud new owner of a great case study to include with my Book Flips course.

If you are reading this and happen to be an Average Guy affiliate, never fear.  AGM will still be available as a stand-alone product, and the price – and commission – will stay the same. 

All current Book Flips customers, watch your inbox for notification when the case study is added to your download page.  And if you haven’t bought Book Flips yet, you should do so right away, because as soon as I get AGM added as a bonus, the Book Flips price is going up!

I would be interested in hearing some of your experiences in acquiring new internet property, so leave your comments below.  Share with us!

Thanks for reading, and Happy Flipping!

BOOK FLIPS LOVES MAXIMIZE PLR!

First a News Update:  Yes, I got myself banned for a week from the Warrior Forum.  I broke a rule, and had my hand slapped for it.  I was a bit overly enthusiastic in my promotion of my new project:  The Warrior Pages service directory.

Check it out if you haven’t heard of it yet:  TheWarriorPages.com

Now on to the Really Big News of the day, about a brand-new product that I have had the privilege to review as a charter member:  Maximize PLR 

Maximize PLR is a fixed term (3-month) membership site that takes you step by step through everything you can do with all of that plr sitting on your hard drive.

You may remember my friend, Alan Petersen , who created the book templates that I bought for Book Flips buyers.  Well he has teamed up with Peggy Baron of All Star PLR, and they have created a really awesome PLR course.

I know that in the internet marketing world you hear it all the time:  this course is great, that course is just what you need.. blah, blah, blah.

I know that and yet Maximize PLR REALLY is great, it REALLY is just what you need.  So I will try to give you a little insight into Maximize PLR so you can judge for yourself. 

But before I do, let me just say this: I really hope that you’ll read all the way to the bottom of this post, ’cause if you do, you’ll see that I have been able to secure a limited time discount for my subscribers, but I also have a special gift for you if you join Maximize PLR through my link.

We all know it:  PLR is fast becoming the latest “In” thing on the internet.  Everybody’s selling it, and everybody’s buying it.  A lot of it. 

So you’ve got the PLR piling up, and you know that you need to do something with it.  You’ve probably read a few ebooks or reports about what to do:  XX things to do with PLR or Create Your Info-Product with PLR or maybe you even have Book Flips and you know that you can create your Amazon book with PLR but you  want to make it more unique (which I highly recommend.) 

So you know WHAT to do with PLR, but you are still struggling with just HOW to do it.

That is exactly where Maximize PLR comes in.  It is hands-down the most comprehensive and intuitive PLR course that I have ever seen, and I have seen a few!

When you login to the member’s area, the first thing you see is a video explaining how to proceed through the course.  And the entire member’s area is just that user friendly:  you never have wonder where to go next or what your next steps should be. 

The navigation is very clear with each of the 9 modules having its own page, with the video embedded on the page and all of the links related to that part of the course below the video.  You will get links to resources, tools, pdf downloads and expert interviews.

And in the videos Alan takes you step-by-step through the entire process:  from the very beginning, planning stage to the amazing finished product.  He even provides links so that you can see that finished product.

Some of the topics/modules are:   Building Your List with PLR; Video and Audio; Membership Sites; Site Flipping; Niche Stores; and much more.  And Alan shows you HOW to do  every.  single.  one.

If I’ve piqued your interest even a little bit, you’re going to want to check out the salespage, but before you do, let me give you the time-sensitive-and-extra-special-bonus bits.

If you get in by May 7, through my special landing page, you will get $10 off each month of your membership with Maximize PLR.  That is a $30 savings.

And, as a special thank you from me, I have 3 PLR packages to give you so that you have something to play around with while taking the course.  All three packages have unrestricted PLR, so not only do you get PLR rights, but you can pass those rights as well.  That means you can flip it!

Check out the Maximize PLR sales page (my special landing page.)

Check out the Maximize PLR bonus page.

I hope you decide to take advantage of this great offer.  You will pay $10 more per month after May 7, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was even higher than that once this takes off.

Maximize PLR may not be the only PLR course on the internet, it is not even the only good one.  But in my opinion, it is without parallel the BEST one!

As always,

Thanks for reading and Happy Flipping!

We Have Our First Book Flips Success Story

I have finally convinced one of my most successful Bookflippers to come forward with his success story.  Today’s post comes from Ron Bourgh  (http://www.ronbourgh.info) and I have been watching the great things he has been doing on Flippa with his Book Flips auctions. 

So… I will let you have it in Ron’s own words:

How I Turned My $37 Bookflips.com Investment Into $1,488.00 In 17 Days!

I have been talking with Ms. Miller for some time since my purchase of the BookFlips system, sharing ideas for improvements, ideas, templates, etc.  While I have promised to give her a testimonial/review of my success, I have not really had the time to do so.  Finally, I’m taking a time out to share my success with the Bookflips system.

 Many of you will know me as a supplier of PLR and articles on the Warrior Forum.  My name is Ron Bourgh, and I have never tried site flipping before with any seriousness.  On the Warrior Forum, my ID is “ryangb74.”

 The truth of the matter is, I mainly provide services to other marketers as a writer, while at the same time doing affiliate marketing and CPA marketing on the side for extra money.  I have had moderate success in affiliate and CPA marketing, but I honestly don’t focus on it – I mainly focus on my PLR business.

 But, coming across the BookFlips system in a WSO, I figured I would give it a shot.  Unfortunately, I am a late bloomer – I paid $37 while everyone else paid $17 – but, in my honest opinion, it should be much higher.  Ms. Miller has noted in her WSO she may raise it to $67.  That may still be too low.

 If you have any questions about this system – if you have any doubts – let me alleviate them now.  I made way more than my initial investment in less than 20 days – and I don’t mean by a few hundred dollars either!!!

 With my initial investment of $37, I took the BookFlips system, added some of my minor twists and made $397 on my first website.  Over the next 16 days, I had grossed $1488.00 in website sales!! Yes, I do add my own twists and customize the copy a bit, but I really don’t think they factor in as much as many think.

 I have given Ms. Miller screenshots of my Flippa and Paypal accounts as proof.  Sorry they are so ugly – I used Jing instead of Photoshop for quicker ease of use.

 What’s even better is I have customers that contact me – after the auctions – angry with themselves that they missed it!  They now BEG me to contact them when I put something new up!

If I can do this with Ms. Miller’s system, anyone can. 

Ron Bourgh 
http://www.ronbourgh.info

Ron goes on to describe some of the tweaks he makes and some of his recommendations regarding how to use the course.  For the sake of brevity, I will summarize a bit.

  1. Make your domain name relevant to the book title.
  2. Look up your keywords to see how many searches they get, and use that information in your auction listing.
  3. Offer a bonus for using Buy-it-Now.
  4. HTML sites are much easier to transfer than WordPress sites!
  5. Make a 4-5 page site:  Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, Buy Book On Amazon, and Contact Us pages.  Generate a sitemap.xml file.
  6. REWORD THE SALES COPY TEMPLATE that comes with BookFlips!

That last one is very important, and something that I have already added to the new version of the Book Flips guide. 

People who are buying websites on Flippa want to be excited when they come across a site they are considering buying – I know I do!  And let’s face it, seeing the same auction listing over and over again is not exciting. 

Well there you have it folks, evidence that there is some very real money to be made at this whole Bookflipping business.

Thanks Ron, for sharing your story, and congratulations on your great success.  Now… who’s next?

Happy Flipping!

Book Flips is Adding an Affiliate Program

I have been asked by a number of people if Book Flips has an affiliate program.  Up until now, my answer has been no.  I wasn’t really sure that I wanted to deal with trying to figure out how best  to manage an affiliate program.   Then something happened that changed my mind.

I am a member of the awesome Earn1KaDay forum, and Dennis Becker, the creator and owner of that forum has been talking a lot about Rapid Action Profits.  RAP is a way to manage your affiliate programs, and have the commissions paid directly to your affiliate’s Paypal accounts. 

Now, to be honest, I have bought RAP, and downloaded it, but I haven’t installed it yet.  I need to read all the way through the guide, but Dennis says it really isn’t hard. 

Once I get it all figured out, I will be listing Book Flips on RAP Bank, which is like Clickbank for RAP products.  If you would like to be on the list to be notified when the Affiliate program is up and running, go to the Book Flips Affiliates page.

I still haven’t had anyone come forward with their succes story, and I have been watching quite a few on Flippa.  If you won’t talk about yourself, I may just have to do it for you!  My next post will definitely be someone’s success story.  Why don’t you email me or comment here, and I’ll make sure it’s yours!

Until next time,

Happy Flipping!

New Book Templates Sent

Last time we talked, I was unsure if I was going to be able to get the new book templates as planned.

Well, they were sent out last night and there are more coming in a couple of weeks.  YAY!  I think Alan did an excellent job on the templates (Alan  Petersen, IM Nirvana)  He also included a video with tips for using the templates.

I have been taking all of your comments and suggestions, and adding them to my research material as I am compiling the 2nd edition of the pdf, and some of you will see your suggestions handled in detail in the new book.

I think that I must have some very shy book flippers on my hands, because I have sent out the call for success stories and so far, no one has come forward.  Now, I know that there ARE success stories, because I occasionally hang out over at Flippa.com.

I would like to encourage you to share your story, so I want to invite you to write a guest post for the blog.  If you aren’t sure what to write, just think about your experience and what you have to say about it.  Was it positive?  Did you make a great sale?  What did you learn along the way? 

Write up your blog post, include a brief bio with a link to your website, and email it to:  support@bookflips.com.  I will then contact you about getting the post live.

Also, please leave a comment below, and tell me which updates you would like to see next.  I’ve told you kind of what I have in mind, you tell me what you need the most.

Until next time,

Happy Flipping!

What’s Coming for Book Flips Owners

Don’t Give Up on Me!

I know that I have been promising my buyers some new material, and I haven’t yet come through with that.  Don’t give up, though, because it is happening.

I won’t try to make excuses, but will fill you in just a bit on what’s been going on; with Book Flips, and with my life.

Book Flips News:  As you know, I had this blog created to keep everyone up to date on the latest in book flipping.  I plan to use this both as a platform to keep buyers in the know about what is coming your way, and to keep other interested parties, well, interested.

The last time I posted, I mentioned a video application that is being created.  That is coming along nicely, and I think that you will like it.  It will make switching between videos much easier than opening a new window or tab for each one.

I also talked about the templates I was negotiating for and that is not going as well.  That doesn’t mean they aren’t still coming, just that I am probably going to have to get them from a different source.  (Or make them myself; but I was trying to outsource as much as possible, because I am still re-writing the pdf.)

And as for the pdf:  you will be getting a much more comprehensive version, with expanded sections on book creation and submission, site and book transfer information, and additional tips and resources sections.

My Life News:  Without going into too much personal detail, my family (who are all very, very close anyway) has had a higher than usual number of “events” lately that have taken me out of  my office.

In addition to that, I have decided to take on a part-time, temporary job to boost my online income.  Yes, I am now a U.S. Census Worker.

So that is where things currently stand.  I am still working behind the scenes to get things done, it is just taking longer than I had anticipated.

I know that there are those of you who are having some succes with this, though (yes, I know who you are!)  Please consider leaving your success story either in the comments section or by email at support@bookflips.com.

I would love to feature you on the site!

Expect to hear from me soon, and Happy Flipping!

Book Flips Has Arrived

If you are coming to this blog because you have already purchased the Book Flips course, thank you! 

If you stumbled in by accident well then, don’t waste any time; get Book Flips as soon as possible so that you don’t get behind.

It has only been a couple of weeks since I acquired the Book Flips product, and I am working hard to get some great updates in line.  I have been slowed and even stalled a couple of times, but if you are one of the people waiting on those updates, please don’t give up hope. 

I am completely rewriting the pdf, I have a video application being written that will make watching the videos much smoother, I am tracking down and negotiating for various templates, and of course I had this blog built.  I will also be redoing the videos after I get all of the other things done.

The purpose of this blog will be to keep you up-to-date on all of the progress of the updates, to pass along news and tips related to book flipping, and of course to showcase the success stories.

So if you have a good one to share, please leave it in the comments section at any time, starting with the line “My Success Story.”  Optionally, you can always email your succes story to support@bookflips.com.  Just be sure to put Success Story in the subject line.

Thanks for reading,

and Happy Flipping!
