Have you ever been faced with the task of having
to write an email promotion to your list, and
then realized that you didn’t know what to say or
how to say it?
Michael Rasmussen’s new video course “Email
Promos Exposed” promises to solve that problem
for you by walking you through the actual process
of creating killer email promos step-by-step.

*************************************************
I decided to see if Michael’s videos live up to
their promise by trying them out myself. Here’s
what I found:
*************************************************
Overall Quality
*************************************************
The first thing I noticed when I opened up the
first video was the stunning production quality.
He used Camtasia Studio for the production, which
is now the industry standard for creating
high-quality screen capture video products. The
audio is near studio quality, and the graphics
are very professional. These videos were made by
someone who KNOWS what he’s doing. Well done!
I also liked how Michael divided the videos up by
section, and then again by sub-section. For
example, one video is all about the subject line,
and then there are different parts of that video
that each cover a certain area of crafting a
killer subject line.
Now let’s move onto…
*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************
Here’s a brief summary of each video. Obviously
it’s impossible to list every single thing here,
but I want you to get a feel for what each one
covered, and how well it covered it.

*************************************************
VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION
This video served as an introduction to the whole
course. You get to see a picture of Michael in
his every day life, and he establishes his
credibility right up front by talking about some
of his massive successes online. He even provides
proof of credibility by displaying two checks in
the amount of $50,000 and $25,000 which prove
that, when it comes to the subject of making
money with email promos, he knows his stuff.
This is a good lesson for anyone to get. Whenever
you’re teaching people how to do something, it’s
good to establish your credibility up front, so
that there’s no doubt about whether or not you’re
qualified to talk about the subject. Most product
developers either skip or minimize this step.
VIDEO 2 - BEFORE YOU WRITE THE PROMO
This video talks about some things that no other
marketer has bothered to mention. You’ll learn
things like:
* The mindset you need in order to write a killer
promo
* The different tools you need before you get
started
* How to keep your emails laser-focused
* How to create an outline that practically
writes the email for you.
This was a fantastic video, and did a good job of
kicking things off.
VIDEO 3 - THE SUBJECT LINE
I liked this video, because it talked about one
of MY biggest weaknesses when it comes to writing
email promos… the subject line. The subject
line is a confusing topic, because nobody’s 100%
sure what the best tactics are.
Michael breaks it down, and reveals:
* The biggest secret for writing a subject line
that makes people insanely curious.
* Techniques for personalizing the subject line.
* Mistakes to avoid when using personalization.
I was surprised to find that I was making some of
the mistakes that Michael mentioned in this
video, but now I know better.
VIDEO 4 - THE OPENING
This is where a lot of people slack off when
writing their emails. Michael talks about how
important it is to create an opening that is
conversational, and then reveals techniques and
examples on how to do that.
He also reveals:
* How to get people to keep reading your email
once they’ve opened it.
* How to make your opening interesting.
* Mistakes to avoid when creating your first few
paragraphs.
VIDEO 5 - THE BODY COPY
This is one of the “meatiest” portions of the
course, because it reveals techniques that are
not widely discussed on the forums, blogs, and in
most eBooks. He talks about the importance of
keeping your body copy tight and relevant, and
then reveals how you can do that. You’ll also
learn:
* How to write powerful bullets that make people
curious and want to find out more.
* Simple formatting tricks for making your body
copy easy to read.
* The secret of “bucket brigade copy” and how to
use it in your email promos to force people to
keep reading.
VIDEO 6 - THE CALL TO ACTION
This is where a lot of people wimp out in their
email promos. They start out strong, but when it
comes time to ask the reader to click the link
and take action, they don’t know what to say.
Michael talks about some of his favorite
techniques for making that happen, and also
reveals:
* The “magic question” to ask yourself that will
make your close much more powerful.
* The secret of the “unanswered question” and why
handling this is a surefire way to get people to
act right away.
* The structure of a powerful close.
* Mistakes people make when creating their close.
VIDEO 7 - CREATING AN EFFECTIVE P.S.
Some people say that the P.S. is one of the most
important parts of the email, because it is often
the one thing that gets people to click the link
at the end. In this video, Michael talks about:
* Why you should including a P.S. at the end of
your email.
* The 4 different kinds of P.S.’s you can use
(this section was a real eye-opener for me).
VIDEO 8 - COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE
I loved this video, because it showed me some
mistakes that I was making that I wasn’t even
aware of. Unless you’re a seasoned pro, you’re
probably guilty of some of the things that
Michael talks about in this video as well, and
that’s why it’s so valuable. I’ve shaved years
off my learning curve, because now I can avoid
some of the costly mistakes that I was bound to
make in the learning process.
VIDEO 9 - HOW TO CREATE FOLLOW-UP EMAIL PROMOTIONS
This video alone is going to make me a lot of
money. Why? Because I used to only send out one
email promo for each affiliate promotion I was
doing. Michael showed me in this video how
important it is to send a follow-up promotion,
and he showed me exactly how to do it. He covered
things like:
* The psychology of follow-up email promo’s.
* The 2 main types of follow-up promos that make
the most money.
* How to overcome readers’ objections in your
follow up emails.
* The 2 most common mistakes people make when
writing follow-ups and how to avoid them.
VIDEO 10 - HOW TO WRITE BACK END EMAIL PROMOTIONS
Every marketing guru out there says that the REAL
money is on the back end. I’d have to agree with
them, but the problem is… most people have no
idea how to set up a back end system that makes
money. This video will teach you how to set up an
automated back end that’s loaded with killer
promos that make you lots of cash on autopilot.
He reveals things like:
* The big difference between regular and back end
email promos.
* How to prepare a back end promotion sequence.
* Common mistakes people make when creating back
end email promos.
VIDEO 11 - CREATING AFFILIATE EMAIL PROMOTIONS
This could be the most important video of the
entire package for a lot of people, because most
people email their list to promote other people’s
products as an affiliate. Let’s face it, if you
only have 3 products, can you really afford to
only email your list 3 times a year? They’ll get
bored hearing about the same old products over
and over again. This video sheds some light on
how to create killer affiliate promos. Michael
reveals things like:
* The two main types of affiliate promos.
* What makes affiliate promos different than
regular promos (and why ignoring this huge secret
could cost you big money).
* Michael’s favorite tactics for creating
affiliate promos that no one else is doing.
* 3 different ways to add scarcity to your
affiliate promos (this is the most important
section of the video, so make sure you watch it
over and over again).
*************************************************
CONCLUSION
*************************************************
As you can see, Email Promos Exposed really packs
a lot of punch! Most of the courses out there
offer only watered down, weak content. Not this
one! These videos are going on my “A-list” for a
long time.
I’ve already watched them twice, and plan on
reviewing them every couple months to make sure
that I have the principals, techniques and
tactics burned into my mind.
If email marketing is an important part of your
business (and in my opinion, it’s the most
important part of ANY online business), then you
owe it to yourself to check out Michael’s
exciting new videos, Email Promos Exposed.

Where should I begin this New Age Email Marketing review? Let’s start with how I end up having this report..
When John Leger e-mailed me (or rather his entire list) about how Josh Spaulding got some outstanding results with e-mail marketing, and with relatively small number of subscribers, he got this story to tell (heck, I decided to include part of the e-mail here):
Hi Nezrul,
If you’ve been on my list for any time at all, then you know that I don’t promote many folks’ products in the Internet Marketing niche. I mostly stick to creating and promoting my own products, whose credibility and return on investment I am sure of.
However, I made an exception a while back with Josh Spaulding’s report, Article Marketing Domination.
You see, Josh is no “guru.” He’s my kind of guy: he learned how to do something that worked REALLY well, and then created a product around it.
When I promoted his report, he was floored at how well it did: more than 600 sales that netted him a profit of over $8,000 — all from my one email.
Josh wrote back to me and begged me to tell him how I was able to build a list that converted so well, since back then his didn’t convert at all. He told me that my list of 40,000 (at the time) converted many times better than the list of a “guru” who had a much, much larger list.
I told him that it was simple: trust. You have to build trust with your list. I then went on to give him a few pointers about how to build this trust.
True to form, Josh took my advice and ran with it–fast.
It wasn’t long before he had turned his unperforming list into a cash-generating machine.
In fact, from just ONE email to his list he earned
$4,278.25 up front, and is earning more than $1,000 a month from the residual income of that product.
His list is currently less than 1/5th the size of mine, and yet he’s earned MORE from that one email than I did when I promoted his product. How’s that for the student surpassing the teacher?
Also true to form, Josh has taken his knowledge and created a report from it. His report takes you step-by-step through his system for building a super-converting list — even if it’s a small one.
His system is based on the advice I gave him, so naturally I agree with it 100%. I’ve read the report, and though it’s aimed at the email marketing begginer, it even had an “Ah-ha!” moment for me, a seasoned email marketer.
Now, I did not get my hand on the Article Marketing Domination. I vaguely recalled one day not long ago, when checking what’s hot in PayDotCom marketplace, the report was on the Bestsellers List. And it was offered for a limited time.
But I decided back then that Article Marketing was not my cup of tea. That was due to an
e-mail I sent earlier to the author of Niche Marketing On Crack report asking him to point
out the difference between submitting article to ‘high-ranking’ Ezinearticles.com and Squidoo.com.
Frankly, I can’t wait 3 to 5 days for an article to get approval.
The author said there might not be significant differences but he’s too lazy to slap up a
‘Squidoo lens’ every time he wrote an article. I understand that. So I didn’t go with
article marketing.
But this so called New Age Email Marketing had a different twist.
Did you know that John Leger had released a report called Presell Secrets earlier on?
In that report, he detailed how he use a combination of e-mail marketing and a case study – a real time case study – to create curiosity, enthusiasm, respect, and trust from his
subscribers while promoting a program.
I suspect that the result he got from promoting Josh’s report was just a natural outcome
from the trust and respect like what he detailed in Presell Secrets.
So let’s review the e-mail marketing strategy for the new age.
It is a 27 pages digital report with the last page talks only about the author 
If we minus this page and the Intro, we have a meaty 9 chapters in between. You’ll get chapter like.. nope!
You ‘got to own it to see it.’ But I can tell you that what I’m doing now, by providing this review, is the result of reading a chapter just before the ‘About the Author’ page. And since I don’t want to keep you in suspense, it’s about how you can help Josh spread his
words around and gets paid 
And that goes without saying that I am going to write HONESTLY about this report.
Here is what I like about this report and maybe when you own it, you’re going to like it too:
+ There’s nothing revolutionary. Most of what he talked in this report was something you do know already.
Maybe you just don’t do them. Or maybe you do them but you get zero result. Josh points you the right steps.
+ There are actually very few steps to follow. You can get started right away if you want
too.
Here are what I quite ‘NOT’ like about New Age Email Marketing (brace yourself. I think I had more ‘dislikes’ than ‘likes’):
x I told you that I like the SIMPLE layout, presentation, and content of this report but having said that being simple means something got left out.
It’ll be cluttered if everything were included.
But what if that something was actually crucial to the success of a campaign? Things like
your landing page if you use Adwords… your splash page if you use Traffic Exchanges (some of us use this you know)… or your overall Copywriting?
These things got left out and as Josh readily admit therein; he’s not going to touch on Copywriting.
x Sincerely, I believe this stuff is NOT for newcomers. Why? Because newcomers need to own a list.
So their priority is to build a list, and not so much of promoting to the list.
x After reading this report page to page, I ‘mildly’ felt that relief, that ‘Aha!’ moment
like John said in his e-mail. In other words, I’m putting it nicely that actually, you can do without this report (how’s that for a review?).
Seriously…
We all need something more. I mean, this report does offer some content but it’s too
ordinary. What more if you already read and applied Presell Secrets.
We all need a guide that makes us feel we learn something NEW or get REMINDED every time we return to it. And I’m telling you with conviction; nothings beat the guide that I’ve
inserted below.
No matter it’s my first, fifth, or tenth time referring to it, there’s always something new
and useful I got out of it, in the context of e-mail marketing of course. And it’s not even a New Age thingy.

When I first started my Online business venture, I wish someone had told me this: You can profit even if you don’t have your own product to begin with.
And if I ever took that first step all over again, I won’t bother creating my own product.

Guess what…after about a year promoting Harvey Segal’s Ultimate SuperTip I just realized that I’ve never write a single review of it. Not a single review for Ultimate SuperTip! Can you believe that? But since I’m actively reviewing many e-books here, I’ve decided to include the review in here and hope to make up to what I’ve missed all these years.
But first…
The Updates
At the time of writing this, Harvey had just sent out a newsletter to all his affiliates telling them that promoting their affiliate link by using Traffic Exchange is no longer allowed. He suggested two things:
1) Get a domain name. Why? Because of reason number 2..
2) Use a Splash Page.
What’s a Splash Page?
Splash Page is a simple, fast-download page that contains a few words (like a Google Ads) with or without a graphic – in this case it’s The Ultimate SuperTip e-book cover. Harvey includes a link in the newsletter to show how a Splash Page looks like and urge the reader to do likewise.
Now, a Splash Page can also contain an auto-responder form to capture the reader name and address. Often-time, such a page is called Squeeze Page. But of course, for most of us who just getting our feet wet online, even getting a domain name already send chill to our bone.
But we need the domain name to host our Splash Page. And if we’re serious in creating an Online Business or maybe trying to earn some extra cash Online, getting a domain name will take us far.
So get your Splash Page ready and register a domain name, if you haven’t already. And let’s move on to the review.
The Features
Ultimate SuperTip is a 31 pages e-book with 5 chapters. The last time I checked, it’s in Version 3 but Harvey will change the version as and when is needed so if you’re getting a different version, don’t be alarmed. The version is changed for a reason (Harvey’s reason actually..)
Let’s take a brief look at the Chapter..
Chapter 1: Introduction
Obviously it tells you what’s coming and what to expect. There’s nothing much to tell over here.
Chapter 2: How To Sell ANY Products
This is where the real gem is and still I can’t tell you much about it over here but realize this – this chapter works pretty well if you sell DIGITAL products online. Not that it wouldn’t work if you sell physical product but it just work pretty well if you sell digital product. That’s all I could say.
I want to chip in a quick note here. I received an e-mail from Frank Kern today and it links me to a video on his blog. The title of the video is Emergency Video and the content is about recession and how to profit from it.
Frank in fact believes that more billionaires will rise from this financial crisis (now had turn into economic crisis). And he pointed out that small business or entrepreneurs segment will become more significant than ever if the segment focus on the most important activity which is:
MARKETING
Do you agree?
It takes hell lotsa guts for Frank to say such words but let’s think about it..
And Chapter 2 might contain the answer to that – how to sell or market any product even if it’s in an economic crisis. Wouldn’t you just love to know the answer?
Chapter 3: The Ingenious Twist
Here Harvey shares with you on how you can massively profit from the previous 2 chapters. It might sounds a bit phony but really it’s not. Some marketers called it genius. I prefer to call it practical.
Chapter 4: Tools To Help You
This chapter actually spins out from Harvey’s idea of starting from scratch. If he had to begin all over again with online marketing, he would start with much simpler model as demonstrated by this chapter.
Chapter 5: The Amazing Viral Bonus
Now, as much as I like you to make money or maybe start making some extra cash online, this chapter precedes me in simplicity and workability terms. Not only Harvey did show you how to sell any product online, he now shows you in Chapter 5, how you can make money with this very report! Isn’t that insane? What more.. all you got to do is give out a link. That’s it. Insane..
But after all have been said and done, let’s face..
The Downside
If you are anything like me, who prefer to just being handed a fish than be shown how to fish that probably you’ll miss the point after reading the whole e-book.
Initially I thought, the whole point of this e-book is to get the package, get the affiliate link and start promoting but hey, that’s not the main point.
The main point is in Chapter 2 and to take action after reading it.
Plus, if you’re looking for some immediate gratifications then this e-book offer none of them. Each strategy presented takes time, effort and a bit of capital to implement. Don’t get deluded with the free methods. They’re free for a reason.
One more thing, if you are selling physical products or plan to sell physical products online, then I would strongly suggest you read what is presented with a pinch of salt. Not everything will work. You just have to pick and choose.
Recommendation
Say, if you got nothing to do this weekend then download this e-book (just kidding! :).
Seriously now, if you are:
- new
- looking for alternative way to sell online
- don’t mind making few extra bucks by giving out a link..
..then download this e-book. It’s free. It’s of quality content. And it just delivers. In fact, if you were on my list, you know that in my first e-mail, I would urge my subscriber to download and study the content.
I felt I’ve done a disservice not to review The Ultimate SuperTip sooner.
Here’s the link to download Ultimate SuperTip at no cost.
