Marketing and Affiliate Tips

New stuff will be added all the time but so you don't get lost here is a quick
guide for how to use the affiliate blog to help you make a sale.

#1 - Choose the type of email you want to send to your readers.

I have a variety of selections from "shocking" to informative. Whatever fits your readers use to connect to them and connect them to the product. If you have a
list full of muscle building alpha males it doesn't make much sense to send them
a gushing email does it? Send them the emails about their abs or about hardgainers.

If you have fat loss blog focus on fat loss material, etc.

#2 - Personalize where you can.

While these are templates they are just to help you talk to your readers better about the product and give you an idea about the emails. If you need help on how to customize it more let me know.

#3 - Don't just hit people out of nowhere, build them up.

You don't just kiss a girl/guy the instant you meet them. You get to know them first right? A great as my product my be asking your readers to buy it right off the bat no questions asked is much like trying to go all the way on the first date. Sure you may get lucky but there isn't a long term relationship there.

Instead use a few emails and blog post in row to introduce the reader and get them use to the product and the person writing it (in this case me).

Emails For Affiliates - Myths

Email Title:

You can eat as much of [whatever] and not get fat.

Hey guys,

I have to share with you something I just read from Leigh Peele's new
free report.

"I call this one the canard of “free foods,” and oh, my goodness,
do the diet book authors love these. In fact, while we’re on the
subject, let’s talk about the four main tactics of the typical
diet author:

1. They try to reinvent the wheel when it comes to dieting.
2. They try to trick you into eating less food by building
their whole diet around a bizarre structure.
3. They wrap their garbage in shiny packaging so you’ll think
you’re getting something new and improved. (Spoiler alert: It isn’t.)
4. Most important: They trick you into thinking you’ll have to
diet down (read: be hungry) for the rest of your life.

Now, let me be clear: If you want to lose weight, you’re going
to have to eat fewer calories than you need. That might involve
portion control or the removal of certain foods from your diet,
but one way or the other, that’s how you’ll lose weight.

But keep in mind: That doesn’t mean you’ll always be hungry.

That said, I’m always puzzled at the idea of free foods.
Typical free foods include low-calorie vegetables, salsa or
certain fruits, but I hate to break it to you: There’s no such
thing as free foods. You can eat too much of anything."

Pretty excellent eh? If you want more check out Leigh's free report

Email Title:

Most guys are hardgainers.


Hey guys,

I have to share with you something I just read from Leigh Peele's new
free report.

"For the uninitiated, a “hardgainer” is someone who has
difficulty putting on muscle. Most guys who get the hardgainer
label suffer from two problems.

1. Wrong Intensity
2. Wrong nutrition

Hardgainers do exist, but not in the way you think. Typically
a hardgainer is just someone who isn’t eating enough or
working out enough, and frankly, not eating enough is usually
the root of the problem because the supposed hardgainer denies
himself the fuel he needs to excel in the gym.

So to avoid falling into this category, get your eats in order.
I also invite you to use the formulas in my book to calculate
exactly how much protein, fat and carbohydrates you should be
eating in order to pack on muscle and not fat."

Email Title:

Organic companies are small and environmentally friendly-MYTH!

Hey guys,

I have to share with you something I just read from Leigh Peele's new
free report.

Find out where your food comes from. You’ll be surprised.
If you think that tiny little organic food company has a
halo over its head, you might be interested to know that
most of those angelic outfits operate under a larger
corporate umbrella.

For example:

Stoneyfield: Danone
Burt’s Bees: Clorox
Naked Juice: Pepsi Co.
Horizon Dairy: Dean Foods
Seeds of Change: M & M/Mars
After The Fall: Smuckers
R.W. Knudsen: Smuckers
Kashi: Kellogg’s
Garden Burger: Kellogg’s
Back to Nature, Boca: Kraft
Cascadian Farms: General Mills
Health Valley: Hain Celestial/Heinz
Arrowhead Mills: Hain Celestial/Heinz
Tom’s of Maine: Colgate-Palmolive
Dagoba Chocolate: Hershey’s
Body Shop: L’Oreal "

Audio Sample - Body By Eats

Email Title:

Sounds so good you could eat it!


I am sure you have heard that my friend Leigh Peele
is getting ready to release her new book "Body By Eats."

I have to be honest I didn't know what to expect. Leigh is
nothing if not original and groundbreaking with her work and
she really delivered on this one. Tons of information about
fat loss, food safety, organics, pesticides, and food.

Did I mention the food? Wow are the recipes amazing.

What made it even nicer was I got to listen to the audiobook
that Leigh did. This really helps me when I am short on time.
It was so good I dove right into the recipes and am working
my way through right now.

If you want to hear a preview of the book you can
check it out here. (Just scroll down the page a little)

http://yourid.bbeats.hop.clickbank.net

If you like what you here go ahead and grab your own
copy here. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Emails For Affiliates - Shocking/Government

Email title:

Are organics a scam?


You might have seen a few of the top nutritional educators in the
country talking about this recently. It is a very very hot button
issue but one that concerns everyone. Fat or not, muscled or not,
our health is universal. Our love for our land, our children, and
our survival is universal. Organics came along and promised us a
better chance at all those things, but was it a lie?

In Body By Eats Leigh Peele talks about various studies and takes
on organics from environmental to food safety. I was shocked at what
I read!

You might be surprised to find out the pesticides used in organics
were just as dangerous if not more so than those in traditional farming.
They get by with this because it is “natural.” Natural doesn’t always
mean better. In this case it looks like organics are a natural disaster.

If you want to read more about this grab a copy of Leigh Peele's Body
By Eats. The bonus is that you might get worked up for a moment but
at least you have lots a good food to whet that appetite with.

Email Title:

This just in – Government wrong, shocker

Let’s be honest, the government tries to do what they
can but are victims of too many cooks in the kitchen. Sometimes
they are victim to a few handshakes or money in their pockets too,
but that is another email for another day.

When it comes to your health and food the government doesn’t
know much more of what they are doing then the next guy. They
simply get a lot of “facts” from different people and decide for
themselves what is right or what is safe for you.

What if you didn’t have to depend on the government, or anyone
else to do that. What if you could learn to do that for yourself?
Forget teaching you to fish. What about teaching you to live?

I think Body By Eats is a great start. There is an awesome section
in there that helps you take apart actual research studies and even
where to find them. Add that to the fact that you get 120+ healthy
and mouthwatering recipes, you can't go wrong.

Check it out. This is one for the record books.

Emails For Affiliates - Fat Loss

Email Title:

You’ll never believe this is fat loss food

You know how those Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem commercials show
you all the diet food that you can’t believe you get to eat? Well have you actually eaten it? You can believe
this is diet food. Not only are the portion sizes horrifying, there is no
real food there. It is bad enough that you have to be in a deficit to lose
fat but to have to eat food like that?

Would you believe that you could have these “diet” foods
fresh and easily instructed?

Chocolate Ice Cream (Can be Vegan friendly)
Berry Parfait
Mozzarella Melts
Chunky "Chick" Burger And Doub;e Cheese Mash
Beef Wellington
Bacon and Cheese Chicken Sandwich

Lastly I ask you, how tasty and healthy can food be that lands on
your front porch?

Stop diet "fooding", start living.

Email Title:

Did you hear about this?

Recently I read an article that said “you can eat anything you
want to lose weight as long as you don’t eat…” That is how it
usually goes isn’t it? Don’t eat these horrible fat storing foods.
Don’t drink these fat storing sodas.

There is always a catch, always a caveat.

I am probably one of the first people who will tell you that
you can lose weight even if you eat a deep fried oreo. It’s true.
That doesn’t mean I recommend eating deep fried oreos or that they
are good for you, I don’t think it takes a genius to figure out
this might not be a good food. That isn’t the point, the point is
you can because energy is the key to your fat loss.

It may not be deep fried oreos, but in Body By Eats there are
some pretty delicious foods and you won’t have to say no to any
of them. You certainly wont have to say no to fat loss. The bonus
is it will actually help you to lose fat.

No catch.

If abs are made in the kitchen…

I know you have heard a thousand times that abs are made in
the kitchen but do you really understand why?

Here are are the common misconceptions about this statement.

-There are ab destroying foods (false)
-That carbohydrates will rob you of your abs (false)
-You have to eat 5-6 meals a day only to get the abz (false)
-Protien builds abs in absence of training (false)

Here are some true statements
-Carbs can make your abs look better when timed right (true)
-All macros are important to your abs (true)
-Even a twinkie wont ruin your abs (true)
-You can have a six pack off a two meals a day and even a beer! (true)

I might sound like a politician running for president making
promises you think I can’t keep, but it’s true. You just have to
learn the balance of it all. That comes with the right education
and support, and you aren’t going to find a better place for that
than with Leigh's new Body By Eats program.

Leigh is really good at making us all remember that balance is the key
to life.

Check it out.

Emails For Affiliates - Who is Leigh Peele/Body By Eats

Email Title:

Allow me to introduce to you...

I get a lot of emails and updates all the time about new products
coming out. In fact sometimes I get downright annoyed, especially
when it seems that people are taking what I do seriously. You wouldn’t
believe how many “Dear sir/madams” I get in a week.

This week is different. My friend Leigh Peele sent me her new book to
look over and WOW...it is incredible.

What is it?

Leigh is releasing Body By Eats. It is chalk full of amazing recipes
(seriously I have never seen “health” recipe like these before).
To top it off there is tons of info about research, food and you
health, fat loss, and even some neat history about how certain foods
came about. It is going to go down as one of the biggest releases
of the years if not the past 10 years in regards to nutrition.

To top it off Leigh is adding a chance to do 1-on-1 consults for
a limited time. The prices are very reasonable for a nationally
published offer and fat loss expert. If I were you I would jump on
it immediately before spots get gone. 1st come, 1st answered.

Email Title:

There really is going to change the game

I have known Body By Eats creator Leigh Peele for a while now.
Leigh is always uncovering some fact or myth we all thought was
true but in fact wasn’t. Suffice to say I am often not surprised
when I go to Leigh to ask her something and she tells me the
opposite of what everyone else is saying.

Today however I was surprised. In fact my mind was BLOWN away.

Apparently Leigh has been doing serious research into Organics,
pesticide, and their safety to us consumers. What she uncovered
wasn’t only news to me, but downright shocking. I learned about how
organics might be even more dangerous and even that nicotine is
being put into our food. I don’t know about you but that is not what
I signed up for when I was trying to support mother earth.

Leigh covers all this and more the new release Body By Eats.
I highly highly recommend it.

Emails For Affiliates - Food/Eating

Email Title
5 meals to eat before you diet

I read an article the other day called “5 meals to eat before
you start your diet!”

In that moment I wanted to stand up on the bookstore bench and
start applauding so aggressively that the other shoppers would jump
in just because of my passion.

Why?

This is the quickest and most successful way to ruin someones
chance at ever achieving the body they want or getting them to
enjoy tasty food. If you are looking at you food before you diet
as your last meal, you aren’t eating the right way.

You know who else thinks this way? Leigh Peele. Leigh wrote
the Body By Eats program and has vowed to put an end to bad tasting
diet foods forever. These are some of the best recipes out there
diet or no diet. Grab a spoon and head on over. Do it quick too
because Leigh has a few bonus offers that only last for a few days.

Say no to cooking a healthy meal

I was over at a friends house and they were trying to make a
“healthy” meal for dinner because I am a trainer. I always get
scared to see what people are going to do to food in the name of
healthy. Usually the proteins are dry, the veggies are limp and
lifeless, and dessert is some crumbling of a 100 calorie snack pack
throw away.

WHY?

This is not what healthy food is about. Healthy food is REAL food,
good food, and tasty. Healthy food is food picked at the height of
its flavor. Healthy food is cooked in the right way. Healthy food
is not on a label on a box.

Here is a little hint, if they have to say that it is healthy and
'tasty, it usually isn't.

It's a good thing I have friends like Leigh Peele, the creator of
Body By Eats. This is not the same sad chicken beasts and lonely
cottage cheese style of thinking. This is food that would make a
chef proud in any restaurant. You better believe all my friends
are getting a copy. That night I had rubber chicken breast with '
watered down broccoli.

*Shivers* Never AGAIN!

P.S. Let me know what your favorite recipe is. I might even do a contest!

Overweight people don’t know how to eat

You may be thinking “What?! Um, I think that is the problem!”

Most people who are overweight do so by way of cheap processed
foods at the grocery store or fast food drive-thru and pizza
delivery. This is not eating. This is mass produced taste bud
killers at their best. A good foodie or strong chef is never going
to praise these types of foods. As a whole we just end up
getting ourselves so used to all that dirty 3 day old fat fryer
tastes. We get used to the taste of hot pockets.

Seriously?

Do me a favor and try a hot pocket 3 months after trying the new
Body By Eats program. It has a section specifically on taste bud
programing. It also has 120+ recipes that knock the socks off of a
hot pocket. Take the 3 month challenge, you’ll never regret it.
That hot pocket though, might be a different story.

25,000 Breakfasts

You may have heard by now that the average person has 25,000
mornings on average. Every time I think about that it makes me want
to run to action and do something top make my day all it can be.

If I have only 25,000 mornings do you think I am going to waste them
on being deprived? Do you think I am going to waste each meal on food
that doesn’t taste good just so I can get my “macros” in? I don’t
think so. Life is short and about enjoyment. I don’t believe in gluttony,
but I don’t believe in deprivation either. I believe in balance. Balance
of energy, balance of nutrients, and balance of a full filled plate.

What did you have for breakfast this morning? How many mornings do you
have left?

If you didn't like your breakfast I bet you will find something here
to make worth one of your mornings.

BBE-Trailer



This is the launch trailer for Body By Eats. This would be a good time to post up the video for discussion, but without linking to the site yet. A good example would be, "Hey, check out this new trailer for Leigh Peele's new program Body By Eats. It looks interesting, what do you think?" It let's them get to know the product a little without asking anything of them.

Remember this is a courtship marketing stance, not a one night stand. To be a good affiliate it takes a little time to warm up your audience. Let them ease in to the idea of the product and if they want it or not.
