Thanks for subscribing to the Opt in Master Course.
I have moved the newsletter to the blog. One of the big advantages of a blog is the interaction. Fell free to leave a comment about what you like and don’t like. Have a suggestion to improve this program? Feel free to let me know.

Rebranders Seminar
This week for the rebranders seminar I will discuss affiliate landmines - those little set and forget things that you do once and forget about until the check comes in from out of the blue. These work well and you just keep adding them.
You can get the access information from within your rebrand area.
Future Seminar Topics
These are a few of the topic suggestions which will be addressed in the future.
- Writing - all types
- Focusing your funnel
- What is the marketing funnel
- Networking
- Autoresponder dos and don’ts
- How to structure a product review
If you have other topics you would like to see added for these seminars feel free to leave them in the comments and I will add them to my list. Interactivity is one of the reasons I use this blog instead of the old static newsletter page.
Also while discussing the seminars I have started a Squidoo Lens on list building called Turbo Boost Your List. Stop by and check it out. If you are a Squidoo member feel free to rate it. By the way see if you can recognize the land mines built into it ;-). There are more than one there.

Do you get surprise payments?
by Mike Paetzold
One of the things I like is when I get an unexpected payment. We always seem to get more than our share of surprise bills. Getting unexpected payments is a great feeling.
Now when I do a promotion for a product or service I expect to get payments. When I push traffic at a site I expect to get payments. These are not what I am referring to.
I am talking about the ones that come in from out of the blue. It may be from something you did a year or more ago. Those neat little things you forgot about.
Russell Brunsen calls them “Affiliate Landmines”. In fact he then went on to use that name for a program he created he liked the term so much. The little do it once thing that just sits out there until someone steps on it. Just like a landmine sits in the earth doing nothing until it gets stepped on.
Fortunately, affiliate landmines unlike regular landmines help you instead of hurt you. They generate unexpected income.
The big question is –Do you consistently add these to your arsenal?
Articles can be affiliate land mines if used properly. I still get traffic to things I was doing two years ago that I submitted articles about and linked to a page of mine.
Rebrandable e-books are always a great way to just drop these little morsels. They can reside on a hard drive for months and all of a sudden they get remembered and a link gets clicked. Kaboom!!! There goes one you forgot about.
Finally your newsletters archives can also be a great landmine. Doesn’t matter whether you use a blog or static pages they still get searched and sometimes they will create that Kaboom months later.
If you aren’t getting surprise payments then maybe you need to start placing a few landmines of your own. If you are why not take the time each week to place a few more?
