Jim Edwards – Mini-Site Creator

Mini-Site Creator

I’m Going To “Show & Tell“ You Everything You Need To Know To Set Up As Many of YOUR OWN Mini-Sites As You Want…

That’s right, in this breakthrough “Mini-Site Creator” Home Study Course I’m going to pull back the curtain and show you everything I know about the mechanics of creating simple, fast loading, and most importantly, EFFECTIVE mini-sites… and I’ll show you HOW TO do it all in a way that you can do over and over again…. as many times as you want.

My objective in offering this course is simple:

Even if you consider yourself a completely non-technical person, I’ll show you how to create, manage, and upload you own basic mini-sites… whether you sell your own product, operate a newsletter, sell strictly as an affiliate for someone else… or even if you just want to learn how to set up a website for personal use.

But it gets even better, because…

I’m going to teach YOU how to create your own mini-sites using the exact same training material I created to teach my own assistant step-by-step to become my webmaster (now that I’ve gotten too busy to do it all myself)!

Originally, this course was offered as a small e-class to only 37 people. But, frankly, the real purpose behind putting it together was specifically to create a complete “mini-site training program” for my assistant (who also happens to be my niece).

In fact, she’s over on the other side of the room right now working on a “top secret” mini-site for me… as a direct result of using THIS course.

So, as a result, you can get your hands on the exact same training material I created to teach people how to do mini-sites the way I KNOW they work (and the way they make you money).

Bottom Line: Every basic skill needed to build my mini-sites is exactly what YOU will discover in this breakthrough home study course!

Now, at this point you may be asking…

“Who is Jim Edwards And
Why Should I Listen To Him?“

8 Reasons Why Jim Edwards is The One Who
Will Finally Pull Back The Curtain And Reveal Everything You Need To Know About
HOW TO Set Up YOUR Own Mini-Sites:

Who am I to teach you this?

Well, aside from the blood, sweat, tears, and scar tissue I described to you earlier in this letter, I’ve come a long way from that first fumbling around in the dark trying to get things done way back in 1997.

Here are a few of the things I’ve been able to accomplish online. I don’t tell you this to brag, but only to explain why you should listen to me and how I’m qualified to know this stuff and, more importantly, how I’m able to teach YOU how to do it too!

1. Every month I average more than $5,864.44 in sales from just one of my mini-sites (I have 9, 13, 15, 17, 18 too many of them to count!)… along with hundreds of other one-page or two-page mini-sites to do everything from sell other people’s products…. to give access to download pages…. even to promote other people’s products as an affiliate.

2. Up until creating this course, I’ve done all my own website creation, including layout design, formatting, script installation, server admin, marketing, customer service, setting up payment processing, answering all the emails from customers, publishing products…. the list goes on and on.

3. I also owned and operated my own website design, development and hosting company with a fraternity brother of mine for almost 2 years in the late 90’s.

4. I’ve SOLD thousands… and thousands…. and thousands of dollars worth of my own and other people’s products as an affiliate using nothing but small mini-sites to sell, process the orders, and deliver the products automatically online. 

5. I’ve set up payment processing through PayPal, ClickBank, PaySystems, merchant gateways, 1ShoppingCart, Synergyx, and many others in and out of business since 1997!

6. I’ve set up download pages for everything from software to ebooks to audio files… even a download page where people can download FULL MOTION video clips!

7. About the only thing I’ve hired anyone to do for me (up to this point) is to install complicated web scripts or to do high-end graphics like ebook covers.

Other than that…. I’ve done EVERYTHING myself and been my one-and-ONLY webmaster.

8. I’m also recognized around the world as a leading author and creator of step-by-step, “how-to” products that help people get RESULTS fast!

(Of course I can’t promise you’ll do better or worse than I have done… I don’t know you, your motivation level, or whether you’ll get up off the couch and do anything.)

So, what’s my point in telling you all of this?

Simple!

I want to prove to you that I know what I’m talking about from experience AND I’m capable of teaching YOU how to set up, post, and host your own mini-sites FAST… while avoiding all the mistakes I made starting out.

I’ll also teach you from the perspective of someone who operates many successful online businesses that get results… not some glorified web designer who thinks pretty pictures help make sales!

So if you’re serious about creating your own mini-sites and finally taking control of your own destiny by being able to set up and modify your own sites yourself, then this “Mini-Site Creator” Home Study Course is for you!

Here’s What You’ll Learn Each Week In The
“Mini-Site Creator“ Home Study Course

In this course you’ll discover…

• Step-by-step, click-by-click exactly WHAT to do and HOW to do it (you literally watch on your computer screen what I’m doing on my screen, pause the “screen capture” video, and go DO it yourself on your computer.)
• I’ll fill in all the blanks those other ”guru“ courses leave out or brush aside by telling you “it’s so simple everybody already knows how to do it.”
   
• You’re NOT a techno-dummy! The only reason you haven’t put up a mini-site yet or gotten results from those other courses you’ve bought (or seminars you’ve attended) is because nobody has shown you the “nuts and bolts” of HOW to do it… until now!
   

In fact, lesson-by-lesson…

Here’s What You’ll Discover Inside The “Mini-Site Creator” Home-Study Course

Lesson #1-
Basic Skills Training

Audio Portion: 1 Hour, 43 minutes
Video Portion: 3 Hours, 47 minutes
Total Run Time: 5 hours, 33 minutes

Week #1 – Overview of the site creation process. Discover the easy and fast basic skills you’ll need to set up your money-making mini-sites.

In this week’s lesson, I take you by the hand and teach you:

• What you do and don’t need to know about how mini-sites work so you can create mini-sites that get your message in front of people fast and effectively (and without turning you into some kind of “propeller head” geek by filling you up with information you don’t need). 
• You’ll discover the 3 different types of mini-sites and how you can mix and match them to create just about ANY type (or size) website you could imagine.
• You’ll learn the truth about what makes a “good” domain name (and what doesn’t) and how and where to buy one properly (and avoid getting ripped off).
  • How to choose a domain name…
  • Why to choose a domain name…
• You’ll understand exactly how to pick a GREAT web host so you don’t lose business because your hosting service is down (cheap web hosting is no bargain!)
  • I’ll also tell you what “extras” you should expect from your hosting company at no extra charge and how to know if they’re sticking it to you for things that should be included!
• We GIVE you the complete HTML software you need to create your mini-sites!
  That’s right… you didn’t misread that…. we GIVE you the html software you need to create your mini-sites. (PC ONLY) You do NOT have to own FrontPage, Dreamweaver or any other expensive software package. The software we show you in the tutorials is the same software you will use to create your mini-sites… and you don’t have to purchase it!
• We then show you step-by-step how to use the HTML software like a pro (don’t worry… if you can use a basic word processor, you can use this software) to insert and modify text… insert pictures…. creating hyperlinks…. you name it, we’re going to teach you simply, quickly and easily exactly what to do and HOW to do it, including:
  • Formatting Text ( including header tags, fonts, and more)
  • Creating bullets and numbered lists
  • Getting your text from your word processor into html with the least hassles
  • Creating all the various types of hyperlinks (there are 4, can you name them?)
  • Inserting pictures into your mini-site pages (which ones to use and which to avoid like the black plague of death)
  • How to set up your mini-site so that when you type in www.yourdomain.com the front page of your website comes up (might seem simple, but do you know how to do it?)
• The proper way to plan your website out on paper FIRST rather than spending hours trying to compose it at the keyboard. (I’m going to teach you how paper and pencil – NOT your computer – are the true starting points of a successful mini-site!)
• Skills building exercises… you’ll create a REAL html page in your VERY first lesson! NO waiting for “someday” as far as getting down to business, you’ll be making a real web page your first day, including:
  • Formatting text
  • Creating links to other pages
  • Creating “email me” links
  • Manipulating pictures and graphics
  • … and MORE!
  • I guarantee you’ll finish this lesson and say, “WOW, that was easier than I thought now that Jim explained exactly what to do and how to do it. I CAN do this!”
• Audio Lesson: “TOP 7 Critical Design Mistakes New Webmasters Make And How To Avoid Them!”
• In this audio session recorded “live,” I’ll teach you “from-the-trenches” mini-site style and design tips that will have an immediate impact on how good your mini-site looks and, as a result, how effective it is for helping you make sales, get subscribers, and build your business! Including:
  • Why “butchering fonts” spells the death of credibility on any website (and the number one mistake webmasters make that brands them as a “newbie”)
  • How the “tweaker syndrome” is the reason many people never get past first base with their mini-sites and find themselves 6 months down the road with nothing to show for it (and practical strategies for how you can quickly and easily overcome this debilitating problem).
  • The true meaning of what a mini-site is *really* supposed to do (and exactly where and how most “newbies” blow it… but you won’t )
  • The “That baby is so ugly, it makes you want to smack its mama!” syndrome. I’ll explain how you can ALWAYS have a great looking mini-site by avoiding the color mistakes that make your mini-site look like a train wreck!
  • … and lots more!

In this week’s lesson, I take you by the hand and teach you Step-By-Step, Click-By-Click the mechanics of HOW TO set up your own Mini-Sites, including:

• The mechanics of setting up a “one page sales letter” mini-site to sell your own product (understand, however, this isn’t a course on copywriting, so I’ll show you how to set it up and post it once you’ve written it ).
  This includes showing you mechanically how to:
  • Plan your website…
  • Select your template…
  • Create and insert a header graphic…
  • Create custom navigation and contact information…

  • Format text…

  • Specific advice on the wording you use to attract MAXIMUM subscribers (instead of the lame copy most people use which leaves them wondering why nobody signed up for their newsletter)
  • How to EXPLOIT the “hidden” profit center in your confirmation pages so people know their subscription went through (and you get an opportunity to make money in the process).
• Step-by-Step How To Create an “Affiliate Showcase” Mini-site
  • If you don’t want to do a “single” product mini-site, then one of the best ways to create a mini-site is to set up a “Recommends” type site (example www.JimEdwardsRecommends.com, which, by the way, my assistant set up completely using only the information supplied in this course!)

    “HOW do I set up a download page so people can download my ebook, software, special report or other file after they purchase from me?”
    Well, I’ll show you exactly how to:
  • Set up a download page (I’ll even give you the proven template I’ve developed over the last 5 years that means I have reduced customer service on downloads to .001%. I get about one person per 1,000 downloads who needs help… my template is THAT good)…
  • How to link to the files so you can deliver your products on total auto-pilot over the web 24/7…

  • Step-by-step how to set up Clickbank and PayPal to take money on your website (which is what it’s all about as far as I’m concerned… this is where you actually set up that “auto-pilot” business everyone’s been promising you).
    • How to set up purchase links…
    • How to set up “buy now” buttons…
    • How to set up a purchase confirmation page…

• How to set up a sequential autoresponder such as Aweber and tie it into your mini-site to offer a mini-course, newsletter, or automatic follow up with prospects or customers… and finally put all your communication on total “auto-pilot” like the gurus keep telling you.

  • All the templates you need to create dozens of professional-level mini-sites FAST, without spending money on templates or trying to find free ones that are any good (or dealing with some designer who wants to sell you pretty pictures they think actually sell something). These include:

I decided to really “give up the goods” when it came to filling in the blanks for people just like you who want to put up mini-sites that actually WORK!

So I piled on the goodies for them… and you’re the one who benefits. I think you’ll see, just from this one CD, that I should charge at least 5X what I’m charging for this course, but I’ll explain in a minute why I’ve priced this course so reasonably so that anyone can afford it!

  • How to work with colors…
  • How to work with borders…
  • How to merge cells and “nest” tables… and a whole lot more!
• How to create your own mini-site “control” center! I reveal for the first time how I use a simple web page on my hard drive to run my entire business!

VERY SPECIAL BONUS SOFTWARE!
(not available anywhere else)
“The Ultimate Subscription Box”
Software and Step-By-Step video tutorial

It’s no secret that exit pop-up’s used to be the best way to get subscribers, but with the advent of all the pop-up blockers on the market… subscriptions to all my newsletters had dropped off dramatically.

In response to this problem, I had a programmer come up with a piece of software which I later named “The Ultimate Subscription Box!”

Bottom line: I started using this software immediately and over the course of a year, subscribers on just one of my lists grew from 9,000 to 18,000… in VERY large part to this highly effective new way to suck subscribers off a page. (By the way, I’ve tested this method for over a year… it works!)

Now, just in case you’re wondering, let me tell you what “The Ultimate Subscription Box” software is NOT:

• It’s NOT a “pop-up”…
• It’s NOT a “hover ad”…
• It’s NOT a “pop over”…
• It’s NOT an “html layer”…
• It’s NOT a “server side include”…
• It’s NOT a “cgi or php script”…
• It’s NOT a “java script”…
• It’s NOT an “autoresponder” (though it helps you get MORE people signed up to one!)

What The Ultimate Subscription Box “IS” is a FAST way for YOU to grab subscribers for your autoresponder, newsletter, mini-course, free report or whatever subscription form WITHOUT ever leaving your webpage… or getting redirected to a confirmation page or pop-up!

Originally, I NEVER intended to release this software to ANYONE outside of a very close circle of my Internet friends and the people who purchased John Reese’s “Traffic Secrets” through my link last fall.

But then I was thinking about how I could really add value to this “Mini-Site Creator” package and how much this would complement an already awesome product… and how I could help YOU get the most out of this course!

The Answer: I’ll give you one of my BEST, “Top Secret” tools EVER for building your own list with the mini-sites you generate!

In fact, I’ve put together an entire multi-media tutorial to teach you exactly HOW to use the software so you get the biggest bang for your buck !

But the only place you can get this software is RIGHT HERE… right now!

• Audio Lesson: ” How To Get Traffic To Your Mini-Sites”
  • Now, this is NOT a course on traffic (in fact I even state a little later in this letter that this is NOT a course on traffic and you should NOT buy this course based solely on this information).
  • However, I did have a lot of students ask traffic-related questions during the course, so I decided to do an approximately 90-minute audio lesson on what I consider to be the best ways to get traffic to specific types of mini-sites.
  • In this audio lesson you’ll discover:
    • My thoughts on pay-per-click search engines. When to use them and when to pass.
    • Why “free traffic” is actually a BIG FAT LIE sold to you by unscrupulous idiots who only want to take your money (and leave you feeling dirty and violated).
    • How to create content that goes “viral” so you can get a lot of residual traffic over time without spending money repeatedly to get it.
    • The best ways to get traffic to a “one page sales letter” mini-site and why it’s critical to do it the way I describe. (Including where to find the profit windfalls everyone wants, but very few people achieve because they’re too lazy to take a couple of simple extra steps).
