Hello,
Marlon here.
If you want to create your own info products, but don't want to be slowed down by courses that are really only a come-on for a coaching program, that leave crucial parts out, or that waste your time on basic info you already know, then read every word of this letter twice.
Because for the next four Tuesday nights, I'm teaching the whole thing LIVE.
This isn't a stack of old videos you'll "get to someday." You'll be right there with me while I walk through it, one module per Tuesday, in the exact order it's meant to be used. Then you get the rest of the week to put it to work before we meet again.
You've no doubt seen, and quite possibly bought, one or more programs, courses and trainings. And you're smart to do so, because good training cuts your learning curve by massive amounts. So congratulations to you if you're a learner.
Which leads you to this idea. All these courses, formulas, methods, instant fixes, plugins and miracle income cures disagree in what they SAY. But they are in total agreement in what they DO. And I've always felt actions speak louder than words.
Here's the ONE action they all take over and over again: they are ALL products being sold and promoted heavily by their OWNERS. Everyone says their method, their traffic source, their plugin is the best. But the one thing they all agree on, when you look at their actions, is that they SELL PRODUCTS. That's how THEY make THEIR money.
The insight: instead of envying them, the savvy person follows in their footsteps and does the same thing. They trade PRODUCTS for dollars instead of trading their time, because you only have so many hours in a day. It's a lot more fun to have money coming in when you're NOT working.
In a few hours, I'll be sound asleep. And I'll have money hit my PayPal account while I'm sleeping. In the early days of your business, that will be extremely exciting for you. After a while, it becomes "old hat." I hardly even notice now. It's routine. And I predict it will become routine for you too.
How would you like to have that happen?
Which brings me to the BIG benefits you'll walk away with after four Tuesday nights with me.

Instant Clarity Insight
Just for giving me the benefit of the doubt and reading the rest of this letter, I want to give you an immediate payoff. Here are the six big benefits of joining me live.
It's no secret I'm a fan of consistent, predictable income. I don't like huge, massive "all-at-once" money, because it can make your business burst at the seams, create customer complaints and get your PayPal or merchant account shut down. Instead, how would you like steady, predictable income that just keeps coming in?
Imagine knowing in advance what your income will likely be. I have a Master's degree in psychology, and I learned that the acid test in science is "predictive validity." Can it PREDICT?
There are certain "processes" you need in place that are no longer in vogue. Without them, your business tends to be feast-or-famine. You worry whether your bills will be met. You can't make purchases with any confidence. You have a gnawing feeling in the pit of your stomach. WITH these processes solidly in place, you stabilize your business.
If you went all the way back to the start of my Internet business in 1996 and looked at my income month by month, you'd see this predictability at work, week after week, year after year. Yet the chances you have these processes fully functioning like a well-oiled machine are slim to none, simply because they aren't being taught anymore.
On our Week 4 Tuesday night, I cover automating, scaling and creating these predictable profits live. Anyone can put these processes in place. It's simply a matter of knowing and doing. But there are NO predictable profits without the ability to get people to buy at will and on demand, which is why we build up to it over the first three weeks.
This is something I teach that others don't, and it's backed by a huge amount of research. I went to JV Zoo and pulled up the all-time best-selling sales letters. I examined each one closely. Virtually every one of the all-time best-selling products in the history of JV Zoo (and that's over $100 million in sales) used ALL 5 of these elements. And the less successful letters often left out one or more.
Imagine being able to look at a sales page and know whether or not it's likely to sell well. Most people can't. They see effects: results, dollars, number of sales. Few people can see BEHIND those effects to the level of CAUSE. Theories are a dime a dozen, and there are as many theories as Carter has liver pills. But the level of cause isn't theory. It's backed by research in many product categories. The difference is in the data.
When you use the causes, you can PREDICT that adding these 5 elements to your sales letter, video sales letter or webinar will make it sell, and that it will beat versions that leave them out when you split test. You don't have to take my word for it. I have millions in online sales behind this, and you can compare the top all-time JV Zoo letters to the losers yourself.
Of course, nothing is 100%. Let me be very clear about that. But more than anything I've discovered since 1996, these 5 elements identify the cause behind info products that catch on and sell.
On our Week 2 Tuesday night, I'll walk you through the 5 elements live. Imagine looking over a sales video, letter or webinar and saying with total confidence that it needs X and Z to sell more, or to sell at all. Imagine what that does for your reputation and power.
Here's an interesting story. Around 2001, I created a software program called Push Button Letters that codified the original 12-step formula I created for crafting sales letters. It was the first 12-step formula taught. The next one published came 3+ years later. The proof is in my 1997 video where I taught this formula at one of the very first Internet marketing seminars in Boulder, Colorado, attended by folks like Corey Rudl, Yanik Silver, Jeff Walker and many others who went on to fame and fortune.
Since then, dozens of copycat software programs came out. (I'm not bitter. It's the way the world works.) But the odd thing is how little creative thinking has been done about sales letter formulas since. People make minor changes to the core formula I innovated. They don't REALLY understand the PSYCHOLOGY behind the steps. And every product you create is a unique problem that no canned formula fully solves.
Using my Modular Understanding method, I break these sequences into chunks you can move and assemble in the order that's best for what you're selling. That gives you power and control over your sales process. Once you understand SEQUENCES, you can rip apart virtually any sales letter, video or webinar, see what makes it sell or NOT sell, and "fix 'em up" so they sell.
Today we have what I call "hyper-competition." But once you know these 5 elements and sequences, it's child's play to look at the sales letters in a niche and see whether they covered all the bases. If they missed a few, that's a "go signal" for you. It took me years of study, dozens of sales letters and millions in sales to learn this. You get it live, in one Tuesday night.
One time, out of curiosity, I pulled all the numbers I could find from our stats program, Web Trends Live. As measured by 24-hour cookies, 1 out of every 102 people in the world surfing the web with an English browser had been to one of my websites.
The point is, I know affiliates. Mike Filsaime and others would tell you I was the first person they saw use an affiliate contest, an idea I modeled after how Mary Kay motivated her vast sales force.
Instead of trying to teach you everything I know about affiliates, I zero in on what it takes right now, today. Things have changed. When the Warrior Forum and then JV Zoo opened things up for affiliates, and front-end prices dropped to $7 to $10, everything changed. When you're starting out, you don't know anyone and you don't have affiliates on board. On our first Tuesday night, I'll show you how to GET them on board.
I've done things in my career you "aren't supposed to do." For example, I sold $150,000 of a $997 training from a sales letter ALONE. You aren't supposed to be able to do that. But it's CRITICAL you have the ability to sell big tickets, because you can't live on the "front end" alone.
The front end is the first purchase from a customer. The back end is all the sales that come after that. The back end is what pays the bills. It's what puts your kids through college. And selling back end products is DIFFERENT from selling the front end. The price is higher, you have to build more value, and you use an elongated sales psychology sequence.
Without this, you have an anemic business, trying to survive on front-end sales AFTER paying out 50% (or more) to affiliates. Do that and you'll have skinny kids, rabbits and dogs!
Imagine checking your PayPal account and seeing $1,500 here and $997 there, or even higher. (I've personally sold up to $2,500 using sales letters alone.) Few people understand HOW to do this, and even fewer will teach it WITHOUT forcing you into a $10,000 to $70,000 coaching program.
On our Week 3 Tuesday night, I'll walk you through big ticket sales psychology live, so you get the kind of value you'd expect from a far more expensive program at a fraction of the cost.
What if you don't want to play the JV launch game? How can you STILL get affiliates to promote? What are the best tricks of the trade I can give you without loading you down with so much information that it stops you from taking action? And "Marlon, what about paid traffic?"
I DO talk about paid traffic on Facebook. But when you can get it, you'll want affiliate and JV traffic. The reason is simple: warm versus cold. Visitors who don't know you are "cold traffic," and they're hard to convert without a super-hyped pitch or a slow warming-up process. Affiliates and JV partners ALREADY have a relationship with their list. That warms people up, so sales come in the door a lot easier, and the skill level it takes is lower.
A lot of people buy one method here and another over there, then try to piece them together. Nothing wrong with that, but it isn't the fastest way to results. It's VERY hard to find one whole system with nothing held back, because people save "the good stuff" for high-end coaching. They teach traffic but leave out sales. Or conversions but leave out the back end.
I call it "hodge podge" disease. When nothing has a place to go, what you learn just wanders around in your head bumping into other information. But once you see the Big Picture at a gut level, everything starts falling into place, because there's somewhere for it to go. You can take ACTION confidently, and that puts you ahead of about 90% of the crowd.
Over four Tuesday nights, I lay out the WHOLE system in order: leads in Week 1, sales in Week 2, big tickets in Week 3, and automating and scaling in Week 4. Each piece has a place to land.
Why Live
You know how it goes with recorded courses. You buy them, you mean to watch them, and life gets in the way. Fail Safe System LIVE fixes that.
I've taken my accumulated knowledge since 1996 and compressed it into four focused sessions. This isn't a video course like the ones you can buy for 10 bucks (and get what you pay for). It's a transfer of my distilled KNOWLEDGE, from my brain to yours, in real time. Knowledge that created millions in sales and cost me untold sums to learn.
This is the knowledge designed to take you from where you are this very minute to having money come in while you sleep. Or play with your kids. Or vacation with your spouse. Or just hang out at Starbucks.
"I've learned so much from you, that I've shaved years off my learning curve!"
"Marlon, you always seem to be a few giant steps ahead of everyone else. It's uncanny. Your intuitive Internet marketing products and superb affiliate program make you the leader of the pack. I've learned so much from you, that I've shaved years off my learning curve. You're an inspiration to marketers everywhere."
"Marlon's easy to follow programs are packed to the brim with solid, non-fluffy, hard hitting information"
"Marlon is an absolute genius! He flawlessly combines knowledge and motivation to give you an unbeatable package that will literally make you an online superstar! I've spent over $6,000 dollars on websites alone and they are not profitable to say the least... I didn't know I was getting short changed in so many ways, that is until Marlon came along. Marlon's easy to follow programs are packed to the brim with solid, non-fluffy, hard hitting information. And he has tied in the crux of human psychology into everything that he had done. With Marlon, motivation is not a problem, skill is not a problem, the only problem you will have is learning the hard way if you don't go Marlon's way! The message is simple, if you want SUCCESS NOW then you need Marlon. If you want SUCCESS EASIER! Then you need Marlon."
"Marlon Sanders does a great job minimizing the hype"
"He puts it right out there in plain, simple English. He makes it clear that the biggest obstacle to making serious money is the fact that most of us will take NO action. But if you take action on the program he lays out, you will make serious money. But if you sit at home, wondering if this thing is any good, you'll be missing out on a solid formula that has absolutely been proven successful."
The Curriculum
How to inject a steady flow of high-probability potential buyers into your marketing sequences -- without the overwhelm, confusion and misinformation widely touted -- giving you the real "stuff" that works.
My favorite session, where I share my private secrets, processes and discoveries for taking potential buyers (leads, as we call 'em in the biz) and turning them into sales and cash you can pay your bills with or use to fund your dreams, your hopes and your vacations.
Big ticket sales that bring home the money, give you a cushion, pay off your bills and give you the Internet lifestyle you've heard about.
AUTOMATE AND SCALE for the ultimate predictability and control over your income, your business and your future.
Session By Session
What's really cool about our first Tuesday night is you'll find yourself wanting to use this for all kinds of things, not just getting money. When you have tools that work, a light goes on, and you'll see how to use them to help your church, group or organization, or even your dentist, doctor or chiropractor. Instead of being a "monkey-see, monkey-do" copycat, you'll know the why behind every what and how. That puts you in the driver's seat.
We get off to a bang with how to simply, easily and quickly design pages that get 40 out of 100 people (or more) to enter their email address and subscribe to your list. Right off the bat, I save you years chasing models that don't build email lists. From day one, you'll be building your list, and that's one of the best decisions you'll ever make.
What most people never tell you is that lists have incredible staying power. Yes, SOME people unsubscribe. But it's equally true that 10 years LATER people will STILL be on your list, opening your emails and buying.
FACT: I have a list of 13,784+ people I built many years ago (around 2001, if memory serves) that STILL brings in a healthy rate of clicks and sales. The open rate is still around 2%, even though I've done virtually nothing to send content or nurture that list.
This session takes you through your first transition from consumer and buyer to LIST OWNER. Once you get a taste of that, you'll never go back. Your view of marketing changes forever when you have a list and sales come in while you sleep.
You'll discover how to find your "sweet spot" at the intersection of passion, ability and market, proven back end models, how to start with the back end, 6 traffic models to choose from, a big insight into getting visitors, and the acid test for your freebie that MOST freebies don't pass. Then I share a specific method of testing different opt-in freebies to make things go 10x faster, plus 4 specific recommendations for your freebie. I also cover Facebook, YouTube, WSOs, affiliate marketing and joint venture secrets. In short, all your critical bases are covered.
I don't just TELL you to build a list. I fully cover the magical elixir of your list, which is getting high-probability responders and buyers ONTO it, with my 10-part knowledge transfer on affiliate programs. It's as though you plug directly into my brain and get exactly what you need to know, without the fluff and overwhelm.
This is where you get my info on retargeting, 2-level programs, JV Zoo, early email strategy, and a little tactic I used to get thousands of affiliates to jump on board over the years. I even give you the simplest method virtually no one uses for adding new affiliates almost daily. I pull back the curtain and show you the levers that cause affiliates, right now today, to click send and zap out YOUR email for YOUR product to THEIR list.
Make no mistake. That one action brings in virtually instant sales, often by the hundreds or even thousands. Plenty of people have done it for a year or two or three. What I give you is lessons from having thousands and thousands of affiliates promote since 1997 to the tune of millions in online sales. I also draw the line between affiliates and joint ventures and teach both sides of that equation.
We're all concerned about making enthusiasm-crushing mistakes when starting out, right? Don't fret. There are 7 minefields to avoid, with multiple points on each one. Knowing in advance what NOT to do can be just as valuable as knowing what TO do, or more. That's why every one of our four Tuesday nights includes the "must know" pitfalls for that module. Just one of them could save you untold pain and heartache. While you can learn from painful experiences, I'd just as soon learn from pleasant ones. I imagine you would too.
I love this session. It has literally been a lifetime in the making. Anyone can take a topic and make it complex. It can take a lifetime to strip out the fluff and get to the 20% core that delivers the real results. BOOM. That's what I deliver on our second Tuesday night.
Ten years from now, it wouldn't surprise me to find you STILL drawing strength, wisdom and lessons from what you learn in this session. That isn't unusual with what I teach. I know from my support desk that people who bought from me 10 years ago and longer still come back to me for their logins after a computer crash.
After Week 1, you'll have what you need to deposit folks with a good chance of spending money with you right into your marketing sequence. In Week 2, you learn what that sequence does: take them from where they are right now, sharpen their desires, defuse objections and build value far in excess of the money you'll be requesting. Just as I'm doing for you right here, right now.
This is such an EXCITING session because it's an ability you can use ALL your life. You're always seeking responses from others, whether it's helping a son or daughter land a job interview, promoting a product or idea, or selling the concept your church, group or organization stands for. We look behind all of it to cause and effect, and I lay out the chunks and elements that make up the structure of persuasion.
The whole key to this session is the Marketing Sequence. What a vast amount of learning and experimentation taught me is that persuasion is the result of steps in a sequence. Take the right steps in the right order, and the odds a person takes the action you want are in your favor. That's what it's all about: putting the odds in your favor.
I compare it to making a cup of coffee. Put the coffee in cold water and you won't get a very tasty result, because the steps were out of order. But put the water in the pot, the coffee in the filter and the filter in the receptacle, click brew, and MAGIC HAPPENS. Marketing works the same way. Without these sequences you're taking a stab in the dark. WITH them, the results can be quite EXHILARATING. There's nothing quite like putting your words on the Internet and having money pour in faster than you can count it.
Some people think writing sales letters, videos or webinars is hard, or the domain of "someone else," or that they just "aren't good at selling." They can throw most of what they've learned about "selling" out the window. We're talking about specific psychological sequences and chunks proven to get responses. With my Master's degree in psychology, I look at what's going on inside the mind. When you really "get" that, it's largely child's play. I've even heard it called "duck soup," whatever THAT is!
Before I figured out how the pieces fit together, I can't tell you how frustrating it was. I'd work my tail off on a sales letter, test it, and it'd bring in as many sales as a dead duck has quacks. Then I learned to assemble the right chunks in the right order, and things changed almost overnight. I wrote a letter for a self improvement / NLP training, and money started coming in. Then a letter offering hypnosis tapes to bowlers. That one brought in money too. Later I was running ads in 72 cities with orders coming in day and night. When the Internet took off, holy smokes. Sales kept growing, almost daily.
Napoleon Hill said what you can conceive and believe, you can achieve. What he didn't say is there's a whole 'nother level where you achieve things you didn't even conceive of, because your momentum carried you there. I got hooked on it, and still am to this day. You will be too, once the power is in your hands. On our second Tuesday night, I transfer that power from my hands to yours.
To top off this session, I transfer the "5 Elements" I spoke of earlier. With them, you can look at a sales letter, video or webinar and predict how well it'll sell. You can troubleshoot one that isn't working. Imagine looking someone square in the eye and saying with total confidence, "This will sell more if you add X right here." Once you master this, you'll practically be a sales engineer, able to reconstruct, deconstruct, build from scratch and change entire sales processes.
You'll also get the 3-step checklist for your sales process, which has a great deal of research behind it, with actual examples and insights from my own business and sales letters. It stacks right on top of the 5 Elements.
Then we tackle a big sticking point: where and how to get product ideas you KNOW will sell. I give you my 8-step process for coming up with hot product ideas. After these 8 steps, I dare say you won't be stuck any longer. Your brain may be ON FIRE with high-profit ideas begging to be created. Technique one alone is a super simple method TJ Rohleder has used to produce winner after winner for 20+ years. I've used each of these methods since 1997 to build my arsenal of best-selling products.
And believe it or not, Week 2 still isn't finished. We kick into high gear with my complete presentation on Core Sales Psychology, expected utility, cognitive imbalances, when to use sales letters vs. webinars or video sales letters, key webinar differences, webinar sequences, the high concept pitch, the VSL pitch sequence and the speech pitch.
To top it all off, you get my "bread-and-butter" marketing sequence, my "escape from pain" template and my "key elements" template -- all the key chunks you can mix 'n match to create your own perfect marketing sequence.
I start you off with my "Map" for back end products. It's a specific PROCESS I've developed to help you avoid detours, minefields and mistakes and get where you're going FASTEST with the least effort. This is where the FUN is, because it's where the REAL money is. You'll quickly fall in love with the back end, and it wouldn't surprise me if your mind lights on fire with possibilities. I literally give you the map from point A, no big ticket sales, to point B, Big Ticket Sales.
This is where I show you how to create info products even if you don't consider yourself an expert. Once you know the product will sell, WHY people will buy it, and the ADVANTAGE it has over the alternatives, you can produce it with confidence. Lack of confidence is the main reason people get stuck, and I give you the tools, templates, systems and mindset to reverse that. After that, it's just a matter of getting it done, which is pretty painless with modern tools and software.
Then we move on to membership sites, based on my experience having 500 people a month paying $67. It's really sweet when you have automatic money coming in every month. And there's no reason you can't do it once Weeks 1 and 2 are purring along like a well-oiled machine.
This is also where I explain how I created software programs that still bring in sales and cash 10 years later and longer. My software has sold thousands of copies around the world, and I'll share just how simple it can be and exactly how I did it. My friend Jeremy has crushed it with software, and it's the ideal addition to add perceived value to ANY big ticket offer. You might assume you'd have to spend an arm and a leg to get software created. But with the right plan, you can spend as little as $100 to $500 and get something that could bring back thousands and thousands for years to come.
Imagine the look on your relatives' faces when they ask with that skeptical look how your Internet business is coming along and you say, "Great! My newest software has really taken off!" That'll shut 'em up real fast. You, a software developer! Who would've ever thunk it?
I also cover the audio and video information you need to look and sound like a pro: what microphone to use, how to record audio and video, software options, green screens, masking, lighting and how to do those fancy intros.
And that's just the start. You get my 7-part MAP for creating FAST back end products, followed by my 9-part transfer of key knowledge about the back end. You'll learn about doors number 1, 2 and 3. The 3 keys. 4 sequences. Spinning off many angles. Profit splits. The Repair/Improve/New trilogy. Hand raisers and selling back ends.
Then comes a brain dump on membership areas where you deliver your products in a password-protected area. What are the software programs? What are the options? What do I recommend, and why? Then a 5-part walk-through on software: how I found programmers, outlined products, made improvements, and the language I used and why. There are 7 important tips and 5 steps to starting out.
To cap it off, you get a direct knowledge transfer of the 7 back-end minefields to avoid, so you don't make the same mistakes I have over the years. Any one of them could cost you many times the price of Fail Safe System LIVE.
The first three Tuesdays flow naturally into THIS end result: the ability to design, build and control a predictable and scalable income for you, your business and your future. For me personally, predictability and control sum it up. I wanted to PREDICT and CONTROL my income, and not be DEPENDENT on others for it. Your own thoughts, ability and knowledge determine your income.
On our final Tuesday night, you arrive at the pinnacle: predictability and control. I've thrown in the automation BECAUSE to have control and predictability, you NEED the automation. I don't have space here to explain it fully. It'll all be crystal clear when we get there live.
I start with what you can and can't automate, although that changes as technology changes. New things become possible almost daily. Next, I protect your rear (and your assets) with a few things that keep you from being stolen from. Then I fly into high gear on how to increase your income virtually automatically, how to get bigger chunks of income, and my growth income template.
I made a special study of how businesses grow, ordering every book on Amazon I could find on the topic and spending hours and hours wading through them. To duplicate that research, you'd need hundreds of books, thousands of dollars and at least a year of reading and extracting the essence. You get the distillation of it, plus my own experience, in one session. As the old saying goes, "If you aren't growing, you're dying."
This is the session that adds PREDICTABILITY to your business and cash flow. It's the "worry remover," and it could save you endless sleepless nights. Just the other day, I shared one of these key distinctions with a friend going through a rough patch in his business. It was as though the waters parted and he saw a clear path back to his former prosperity.
You'll get my discussion of 1-click upsells, telephone continuity, $1 trials, the done-4-u sequence, my V x M formula for increasing your income, how to get bigger chunks of income, and key data about business growth. You'll explore 4 ways to increase your income, systems, must-know info about hiring, managing and outsourcing, 3 procedures, 6 routines, 5 key points on competitive advantages, 7 points on creativity and 6 ways to know you have a problem with your talent.
This is the distillation of all my experience hiring, managing, upscaling, downscaling, building and growing since 1997, delivered live on our fourth Tuesday night. Avoiding just one problem can save you many gray hairs. Doing things the right way can make you many times your modest investment in Fail Safe System LIVE.
I really am in this business to help you succeed and sell your products like never before. If you don't win, I don't win. If you don't get results, I lose.
So if, within 60 days, you decide Fail Safe System LIVE wasn't the right fit, post a ticket at my support desk. I'll double your credits and apply them toward any of my other products, so you get something that DOES meet your needs. Just contact the support desk to use it.
