Session 2
How to take your info product to the next level:
Dominating your niche
The Ultimate Business
Model
In 15 years as management consultants we’ve found
nothing that makes so much money so quickly and easily
We use it to create a 6 or 7-figure business in
3 months or less
We’ve been involved in 9 of these in
the last 2 years
Income has ranged from $48,000 in 3 months to
$3.5m in 6 months
But - it’s not for everyone!
What’s the downside?• Not as passive
• No longer “under the radar”
• Risk that you’ll build the business around YOU
• “Can” require staff and other resources (higher overheads)
• May be outside your comfort zone!
Why would you want it?• Possibility of big income (6 to 7 figures
in as little as 3 months)
• Builds a saleable asset
• Recognition in your area
• Opens bigger opportunities
• Get to hang out with other people at the top of their game
Examples• Andrew and Daryl
• Paul and Mary Blackburn
• Matt and Amanda Clarkson

Session 3
Membership sites
Here’s how we build Membership Sites in
just 3 days
What is a membership site?
• Subscription site, continuity program
• Only make the sale once and continue to get paid every month.
• Build a relationship so you become a trusted advisor.
• Can continue to upsell other products based on the relationship.
We have a really unique membership
site system
It’s quicker, easier and cheaper than any other
membership site system we’ve seen
Problems with most membership sites
• Can take 6 months or more to set up before you make any money.
• Members stay an average of only 2-3 months, so you need to spend much more time marketing.
• Most membership site software is designed by and for people with a US company and bank account.
• Can be expensive to set up, depending on the software you use.
Benefits of our system• Can be up and running and making money in
as little as 3 days.
• Members stay an average of 12 months or more, so you need to spend much less time marketing in the long term.
• Our sites use a range of payment options that work in Australia.
• Costs very little to set up, as we don’t use expensive proprietary software.
How much do membership sites
make?
Our target for each membership site is to have 1,000 members paying $49 per month within 12
months
($588,000 per year)

• Teleseminar 20-30%

• Google adwords 1-2%
• SEO / Web 2.0 traffic <1%
Our Marketing Style…
• Enthusiastic, but without the hype
