Do You Sell Physical Products?
By Lee McIntyre | September 6, 2008
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. You can also sign up for my extremely popular FREE newsletter by clicking HERE. Thanks for visiting!
If you don’t currently sell any physical products then I don’t blame you.
Before I created Automatic Traffic Blast, which was my first DVD product, I thought that the process would be extremely challenging, fiddly, and boring.
Well I was wrong!
In fact, the whole process of creating drop dead DVD/CD products is actually so easy that even my Nan could do it (sorry Nan). There’s nothing to be intimidated about, and the whole process of turning a digital product into a physical one can be done in one hour or less.
It’s so easy that three of my most recent products (Automatic Traffic Blast, Super List Building System, and 24 Hour Product Creation) have all be sold on DVD and shipped direct to the customers door.
I use Kunaki.com to produce and ship these products on demand AND I only pay $1.75 for DVD. Pretty cool eh?!
Want to know how to do the same?
Well the good news is that I’m just putting the finishing touches on a nifty new report showing how you too can use Kunaki to turn your digital products into physical DVDs.
And the good news is that this will be 100% FREE for all Lee McIntyre subscribers.

More Pictures of My Marketing Office
By Lee McIntyre | September 3, 2008
When I was a complete newbie I was always double curious about what actually happened behind the scenes of a profitable Internet marketing business.
I guess I was just nosey!
Well if you’re as nosey as I was then you might enjoy some more pictures from my office…
You’ll notice a few more PCs have been added in the last few weeks.
One belongs to James, our affiliate manager, and the other is going to be taken by an admin assistant starting soon.
James wasn’t happy with the PC I bought for him though and so he uses his Mac!
It looks pretty sexy though doesn’t it? (…looks like I’ll be taking a trip to the Apple shop soon)
Here’s a big pile of some of the physical products I’m selling.
If you were a mentoring client then you would have got Super List Building System, Automatic Traffic Blast and 24 Hour Product Creation shipped to you last week., at no cost.
They look pretty cool don’t they?
If you haven’t yet started using Kunaki then you need to give it a go soon (it’s an incredible service).
And has anyone noticed how the office seems to be getting more messy by the day?
Next to the phone you can see our top secret flow chart. This badboy shows us everything that we need to be doing for the next 30 days and more…
And of course it wouldn’t be Manchester UK, unless there was rain throwing it down outside my window!!
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the tour and please leave your comments below…

Get Support Fast With Live Chat
By Lee McIntyre | August 31, 2008
For the last week I’ve been deep in thought trying to think of how to make sure my company could provide the best support around.
Unlike some other online businesses out there we’re don’t want to hide behind a PC screen which is why we want to make it as easy as possible for our customers to contact us fast.
Providing high quality support, both before and after the sale, is super important to me which is why I’m pleased to announce a few changes to how we connect with our customers.
You can get the full scoop below….
http://www.AimHigherSupport.com
From now on you’ll be able to chat to a team member LIVE meaning that you can get answers fast.
And because we want to be as easy to contact as possible you can also give us a call should the need ever arise.
Over the next few weeks I’ll be making some HUGE changes to my business but one thing that will NEVER change is the quality of the content I provide for free, and the support I provide to my customers.
Yes the new support systems is costing me money, and eats into our time, but if it makes our customers happier then it’s 100% worth it.
In a few weeks time I’ll post about my experiences with Live Chat so that you can decide if it’s something you should consider adding to your business.

30 Day Internet Marketing Internship
By Lee McIntyre | August 29, 2008
Let me start by saying there’s a good chance that the invite I’m about to extend to you probably isn’t for you.
In fact, I’d probably speculate that 99.9% of those reading this blog right now will either be unsuitable, or unable to accept this offer.
So what’s the invite? What’s the offer?
Well put simply I’m looking for one, or more, talented marketers to come and work alongside me in my UK office as part of a 30 day Internship.
Those who’ve been following my progress will know that I’ve recently moved into an office in the centre of Manchester UK, and that my business is currently expanding fast.
As part of this expansion I’m constantly on the lookout for talented marketers to work alongside me and to contribute towards our continued success.
Now before I tell you exactly what this Internship is, let me first tell you what it is NOT.
This isn’t the kind of opportunity where you’ll be reading from a marketing textbook for 8 hours a day. This is real hands on marketing in a very busy office.
And this certainly isn’t the kind of opportunity where you’ll be able to ask 400 questions per day and get 8 hours of daily mentoring. As an Intern you’ll be a fully functioning member of our team and that means you’ll be expected to contribute and you’ll be measured on results.
So now we’ve said what the Internship is NOT let’s focus on what it IS…
Well, in my view, if you’re an aspiring marketer then this is the most tremendous opportunity you’ll ever find.
Instead of having to spend thousands on ebooks and coaching you’re going to see with your own eyes what goes on behind the scenes in an IM business producing $20,000+ monthly PROFITS.
In 4 weeks working inside my office you’ll probably learn more than you would in 4 years reading ebooks. And it won’t cost you thousands of dollars buying ‘the next big thing’ either.
Did you notice how I said work?
Well with good reason. You see, this is NOT like going to college for a month. It’s going to be like going to WORK.
As an Intern you’ll be expected to contribute and your performance will be measured on one thing only. RESULTS!
Let me explain…
Our Interns will be doing very specific marketing activities based on detailed training we provide. So let’s say your task is selling ebooks on eBay.
You’ll be expected to work hard, use your initiative and to apply your common sense, to sell products on eBay. And at the end of every day you will be reporting back and explaining how many products you’ve sold and how much income you’ve generated.
This is just an example, and you might be doing something else, but you’ll certainly be in charge of a marketing project and you will be expected to deliver results.
Sounds scary? Well then this is not for you.
I’m sorry to be blunt about this but if the thought of working harder than you’ve ever done before while seeing the inner working of a succesful Internet Marketing business scares you to death then I’m 100% certain that this isn’t something you should apply for.
I apologise for being blunt but it’s important I’m clear about the opportunity as I don’t want to waste your time. And I don’t want you to waste mine either.
Now let’s talk about something a bit brighter…
This is a PAID Internship and you’ll earn $2,000 for 4 weeks work. You’re expected to work in our Manchester office 8am-6pm and you might also be required to work Saturdays (most probably).
Please only apply if you know you can work in our office during the hours above.
Now remember how I talked about RESULTS?
Well the expectation is that you’ll generate more than $2,000 worth of business for our company….and we’ll train you exactly how to do this.
At the end of the month you can take the skills and experience you gain and go and apply them to your own online business. If you’re good then the expectation is that we’ll offer you a full time position in the company, though this is certainly not guaranteed, and you obviously don’t have to accept.
So that we’re really clear this is an incredible opportunity for anyone looking to get a leg up in this lucrative industry.
But while I’ve focussed on the opportunity for you, I’m only interested in working with people who are committed to adding value to my business, and helping serve our customers better, while increasing our profits.
If you just want to learn from the experience, rather than contribute to our business success, then in all probabilty you won’t last beyond Tuesday morning (I have to be honest).
Still reading? Still interested? Well then I want to hear from you!
If you’re able to work in Manchester UK for a month, during the times specified, and if you can start at short notice AND if you think you can add value to my business then here’s what you need to do.
You need to complete the statement below in 500 words or less….
“I want to work as a Lee McIntyre Intern in his Manchester office because….”
When you’ve done this send to manchester [at] aimhighermarketing dot com with the subject line “Manchester Internship”.
There’s no formal deadline and there is no limit to the number of Interns I can take. If you’re good enough we’ll find room for you!
It’s best to apply fast as I’m looking forward to reading some applications in the next few days. And I like making fast decisions too.
I’m sorry if I’ve been blunt with this post but I honestly believe this to be an incredible opportunity for any aspiring marketer, but because of what’s involved it’s important that you apply with both eyes open.
If you’re ready for the most exciting (and exhausting) 30 days of your life then send me an email now…

And the Winner of the Super List Building System is….
By Lee McIntyre | August 12, 2008
Note: Make sure you read the whole blog post for an important announcement at the end…
Wow talk about a tough choice? When I launched this contest I knew it would hard picking the winners but I really had no idea quite how difficult it would be.
I just wish I had 30 sets to give away and not just 3!
Before I reveal who’s won the Super List Building System I first want to explain how I reached my decision.
As I explained in the video, I was looking for people to convince me that they’re ready to take action with my proven system.
The worst thing in the world would be for me to give this to someone who would just leave it gathering dust on a shelf. Teaching people is what I love and so it was very important to me that this course should go to someone who I felt confident would actually put this into good use.
I really believe that the Super List Building System is by far the best product I’ve ever released and the most valuable too.
And for this reason I want those most likely to take action to have this incredible opportunity.
Why? Because as good as this course is it won’t make one tiny drop of difference to anyone’s life unless people actually watch the DVDs and put the learning points into action!
Let me explain why this is so crucial…
Just over one year ago I was a struggling marketer spending far more money than I made. But then in just 56 days in the IM niche I was able to quit my day job and after 161 days I enjoyed my first $20,000 month.
Was it easy? No way! Was it worth every drop of sweat? You bet it was…
Here at Lee-McIntyre.com towers I’m always asked HOW I managed to build my business so fast. I’m asked ‘why did you enjoy so much massive success when others around you find it so hard?’
The answer is simple.
I took action by creating products, driving traffic, and building my list! I got out there and just got stuck in which is why I’m always encouraging others to do the same.
Who cares if you try something and it doesn’t work? You simply learn from your mistakes and keep on trying and now you’re one step closer to your goal.
When I released Auction Profits Unleashed one year ago I had zero subscribers, contacts, or products in the IM niche. Yet fast forward just two weeks and with a new list of just 603 I was able to finish 3rd in a massive JV launch contest
(I even pummelled people with lists of 50,000 or more).
Would this have happened if I had just sat around reading ebooks instead of actually taking massive action? Of Course not!
By taking action and just diving in head first I learnt more in one month than I could have learnt in one year. And in the Super List Building System I spent 8 hours carefully explaining what I learnt about building an online business from scratch….and how you can do the same too. .
You see, I don’t want to get myself into trouble but most of what you hear about list building is just plain wrong. Despite what many of the ‘gurus’ will have you believe it’s not the size of your list that counts.
What really matters is the income you can generate from that list.
Who cares if someone has a list of 80,000+ if the marketer in question sends nothing but promotion after promotion and subsequently has less than 200 people clicking his links and opening his emails (I’ve seen it happen).
Here’s the thing…
If your goal is to build a massive list of 100,000 then this is NOT the course for you. There are plenty of other guides out there filled with fluff and hype that will ’show’ you how to do that.
However, if your goal is to build a responsive list FAST that generates oodles of cash then this IS the course for you.
I laugh when I hear wannabe marketers brag about their 30k list when they’re still scratching around trying to make even a part time living online.
The goal is not to collect a massive group of disinterested prospects. The goal is to build a list that generates CASH and in the Super List Building System I show you how to do just that.
Here’s a fraction of the kind of content I share…
Step #1: Sell a Low Price/High Value product.
If you went to your local pub and ordered a burger and juice and they served you a steak and beer….would you eat there again? Well I’d be be eating there everyday for a week that’s for sure!
(In the Super List Building System I show you how to apply this principle to your online marketing and have people begging you to release more products)
Step #2: Recruit JV partners.
As a beginner I was able to effortlessly recruit more than 12 JV partners who had a total list size of more than 200,000. It sounds hard but it really wasn’t.
The key is to ‘know your audience’ and to find the hot buttons that will make anyone want to promote for you at any time.
(Have you ever heard the saying ‘everyone has their price?’ I’ll show you how to apply this to your online business and make oodles of cash too!)
Step #3: Build relationships with your subscribers.
If a TV channel just showed adverts 24/7 and had no programming of any value, what do you think would happen to their viewing figures? It’s fair to say that they wouldn’t be very high.
Most people watch TV for the programming and put up with the ads so they can get to the good stuff. If you get the balance wrong and just show adverts then it’s bye bye TV station don’t you think?
(I’ll show you how to balance your emails between content and free information so that you can keep your subscribers tuned in and RED HOT for every offer that you send)
And much more too of course…
Do you still want to know how I was able to quit my day job in less than 56 days? Well I’ve just told you the outline of the EXACT system I followed..
Which takes me back to the point I was making…
I’m not going to tell you that you’ll be able to use my system to create a full time income with no work. If that’s what you’re looking for then isn’t the product for you.
This will cost me some sales for sure but the reality is that implementing this system is going to involve a lot of work. The good news though is that if you’re prepared to do this the rewards are incredible!!
And this is the exact reason why when awarding this prize I was looking for someone who I believed would be prepared to take massive action.
Here are my three winners…
(drum roll please…)
=>> Sam Winport
=>> Alan Petersen
=>> FH Harris
The winners are asked to submit a support ticket with their postal details and we’ll get these sent out today.
And if you didn’t win I want to thank you for your efforts. Choosing was double hard and there were some brilliant entries!
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
But don’t despair as I’m going to break a few rules and give everyone a chance to grab a limited edition release.
The Super List Building System will officially launch in a few weeks time but I’ve decided to go crazy and release just a few copies before all my JV partners come on board next month.
Tomorrow Wednesday 13th August at 11am EST I’ll be releasing a VERY small number of the Super List Building System boxsets for a HEAVILY reduced price.
Only 23 boxsets are available for sale and I’m expecting these to sell out fast so you’ll have to be quick. If you miss out on one of these limited edition sets then don’t panic as I’ll be releasing this fully in September at the normal launch price.
This crazy opportunity is only available to 23 lucky subscribers on a first come first served basis and there can be no exceptions. Make sure you keep an eye on your inbox and this blog as I’d hate for you to miss out on this one!
Thanks again for all the entries in the contest and now I can’t wait to send the prizes to the three luck winners!

Work Less Achieve More?
By Lee McIntyre | August 5, 2008
I know it’s a dangerously overused cliché but it really is the case that the more action you take the more money you make.
Even if your actions lead to a failure of some sort this is still a positive for your online business as long as you learn from what went wrong and understand how to improve things in your future marketing.
But I’m not saying anything new here am I?
Everywhere you turn in this industry people relentlessly bang the ‘take more action’ drum, and I’ll hold my hand up and say that I found this more than a little irritating when I was struggling beginner.
For a long time I tool the ‘take action’ advice at face value and filled my working hours with as much marketing as I could possibly cram in. Whenever I had any sort of spare moment I’d rush to my PC and start working like a machine.
Recently however I’ve discovered that by working less I’ve been able to achieve more and I want to share why…
I don’t understand the psychology of it, but when I sit down to complete my day’s work if I feel I have 12 hours to achieve everything it always seems to take the full 12 hours.
The workload expands to fill the time available, and subconsciously I end up postponing the day’s difficult tasks until the end of the allotted 12 hours. And this happens every day unless I’m extremely discipline with myself.
Let me share something that happened last week…
I’m currently living with a teacher friend named Mark, and he was breaking up for the school holidays. He wanted to go for some after work drinks with colleagues, and being the nice guy that I am I offered to drive him to school so he didn’t have to drink Coke all night.
This was a bit of a pain as I was planning to go out for drinks with friends in Preston at 6:30 and I had a LOT of work to get done. I wasn’t worried though as I knew that if I worked hard I could just about squeeze everything in.
And then disaster struck!
I’d given Mark a lift to school while still in a very sleepy daze and when I got home I noticed I’d forgotten my house key. Oh no!
And it gets worse too…
I had no petrol in my car, and certainly not enough to drive to Mark’s school in Lancaster to borrow his key (plus it was a good 90 minute drive there and back).
And to make a bad situation truly terrible I then realised I’d left my wallet and phone in the house too. So now I was stuck outside my house with no wallet, no mobile, no keys, and no petrol. To say I was kicking myself was an understatement.
I’m a pretty easy going sort of guy but there was literally steam coming out of my ears at this point.
Could it get any worse? Yep!
Because I’d driven Mark to school SO early I’d just jumped in the car without getting properly dressed. So now I realised that I was wearing the most hilarious combination of clothes possible that included a very scruffy shirt, Bermuda shorts, and some formal dress shoes that were the first thing that came to hand when I jumped into the car.
I’m just grateful no one had a camera!
Anyway, to cut a long story short I had to walk to the nearest bank looking like Id just escaped from some sort of low security institution for the sanity challenged and beg them to let me withdraw some money. Since I looked like a homeless crazy person this was quite a task!
Then I had to walk back home, get some petrol, and drive to Lancaster to collect Mark’s key. Except that when I got to his school I realised he’d taken his class to Mass and wouldn’t be back until Midday.
By this stage there was no anger left and I was just feeling more than a little sorry for myself. I then had to wait in the school car park for two hours while people pointed and speculated how crazy I must be to dress in such a way (I should also point out that my hair also gave the impression I had been electrocuted).
Eventually I got back into my house at 2pm which was a full SEVEN HOURS after I’d done my good deed for the day by giving Mark a lift to work. This meant I now had just four hours to get all my work done if I was to go out in the evening.
Needless to say the fact that I’d budgeted 11 hours for this task, and now found myself with only fours house available, left me feeling as though I would have to cancel my evening plans.
How wrong I was….
I was an absolute machine and a complete model of productivity. I was in the zone and just blazing through my work at record speed. All distractions were boycotted and I even managed not to check the latest Manchester United news.
Simply by having such an incredibly tight deadline I found myself able to reach new levels of productivity that meant I worked four times faster. I got all of my work done with twenty minutes to spare and then enjoyed a fantastic evening rolling from pub to pub (though if I’m honest I don’t remember it all).
Here’s my point…
The more action you take the more money you WILL make. But the amount of action you take is NOT directly proportionate to the amount of time you sit at your computer,
If you set yourself tight daily deadlines which you stick to rigidly, and if you can maintain the discipline to block out all distractions, you’ll find yourself able to work less and achieve more.
Give it a try. Starting tomorrow put an alarm clock on your desk and promise yourself you WILL stop work for the day once your allocated time expires. You’ll be amazed at the impact this little change will make on your productivity levels.
This is a valuable lesson I learned from this hectic day. Another lesson I learnt is always check your pocket for your keys before leaving the house!
