(Act By Midnight Tonight To Claim Your Huge Early Bird Discount)

Dear Early to Riser,

If you want to make serious money online, there's one skill you absolutely must master. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

How to sell.

Sure, the formula is plain and simple... Good selling equals good profits. Great selling equals great profits. Just ask companies who have made fortunes online, such as Amazon.com ($19.1 billion), or Overstock.com ($834.4 million), or EBay ($85.4 milllion).

But the seemingly simple act of "selling" is the biggest single problem that 99% of all aspiring entrepreneurs and existing business people ever face. Going from "good" sales... which quite a few folks can manage, to "great" sales... which only a select few have mastered, is not so easy.

Unless, that is, you've been personally mentored by the man considered to be one of the top online profit-producing experts on the planet.

And that's why today I'm inviting you to join Bob Bly himself in New York City this March 20-22 for an event that will change your life.

A Short Investment of Time
That Can Turn Into a Lifetime of Cash

My name is MaryEllen Tribby.  You may know I've been Publisher and CEO of Early to Rise since 2006. But I've been in the marketing business for over 20 years.

Working in the trenches with Forbes, Crain's New York, Globe Communications, and Weiss Research, I've seen first-hand how the power of "knowing how to sell" can send an individual's or business's profits soaring.

And I've seen over and over how selling skills, coupled with the low cost and wide reach of the Internet, can transform a person into a practically unstoppable money-making juggernaut. Never before in history has such enormous power been put within the reach of individuals all over the world.

But that power can only be used effectively if you have mastered one particular skill.

So it doesn't matter whether you are a seasoned marketer... a beginning or professional copywriter... or an aspiring entrepreneur who's just been thinking about starting an online business...

You've got to learn how to sell.

In my career I've had the distinct privilege with working with some of the world's top marketing experts... and Bob Bly just might be at the top of the list.

That's why, if you are looking to make money online - or make a living helping others do so - Bob Bly and ETR's "Secrets to Selling on the Internet" seminar is one event you simply cannot miss!

Come spend a very special weekend with Early to Rise and Bob in the Big Apple next month, and we'll give you a complete "mind transfer" that will almost instantly transform you into a Master of Ultra-Profitable Internet Sales.

Specifically, a master of the kind of marketing that will quickly grow your Internet business (or even just help turn your idea) into a non-stop cash-generating machine - and in any economy, boom or bust.

The Best Place to Make Money
(Yes, Even During a Recession!)

Bricks-and-mortar retailers have had a tough time lately.

But we're suggesting that you set up shop online, which requires minimal start up costs and offers the opportunity for maximum profit.

Yes, even today!

Budget-cautious buyers may be steering clear of malls... but they love the Internet: Amazon.com just had its best holiday season EVER. Other online retailers have seen their revenues hold steady, even as traditional retailers like Circuit City are going under.

In fact, online spending was $34.4 billion in the third quarter of 2008 alone - a 5.7% increase over the year before!

When you sell via the Internet, you have access to 1.4 billion+ web surfers - all of them potential customers! The Internet is a giant, bustling marketplace that's open 24/7 - it never closes! And thanks to e-mail (virtually free) and cheap web hosting (under $10 a year) you can send your sales message to as many people you want as often as you like...

By the time you walk out the door, you'll know more cash-producing secrets than 99.9% of the so-called marketing "experts" who make their very high-priced living just down the street on Madison Avenue.

We'll give you exactly what you need to...

  • Develop full "lines" of ultra-HOT products that will have your prospects gobbling up everything from $19 e-books to $10,000 coaching programs (even if you've never created a product before in your life)...
  • Quickly and easily build a large and profitable e-mail subscriber list of eager customers who are just dying to buy from you...

  • Write potent sales copy that sends your response rates through the roof...
  • Create a kick-butt e-mail marketing campaign that brings in boatloads of clicks, conversions, and orders...

  • Write long-copy online sales letters ("landing pages") that drive conversion rates and orders through the roof...
  • And make more money from the Internet than you ever thought possible!

By the end of this intensive weekend seminar, you'll have ALL the powerhouse web marketing skills you need for generating breathtaking profits online. 

How can I be so sure? Simple.

Because you'll be learning from the very best "teacher" in the country, Mr. Bob Bly.

Just you and a handful of others, in an intimate setting, directly from the master himself.

And get this...

If you act quickly, we'll give you an Early Bird discount generous enough to cover your hotel room, travel expenses, and then some (that's how important we believe this is for your success). More on that in a moment...

But first, I must warn you that this is a one-time event and will likely NEVER be repeated. Bob's time is in great demand and he rarely speaks in public any more.

This exclusive opportunity compares to taking an art class from Picasso... driving lessons from Mario Andretti... an investment course from Warren Buffet.

Join Bob in New York on Friday, Saturday and Sunday March 20 to 22, and you'll be in a small-class setting with "America's Top Online Profit Producer."

And as I mentioned, we doubt he'll ever agree to host an event like this again.

It doesn't get much better than this - especially as the skills you'll learn could actually make you filthy rich!

Let me explain how this event came about...

From a Common Concern
Comes a Profitable Solution

I don't know if you realize it, but... you're being talked about. (Are your ears burning?)

It's true... Every Wednesday afternoon, the Early to Rise team gets together to talk about what's going on with our ETR readers. Our focus is on accelerating your success... giving you what you need to get ahead.

Over the past few months we started to notice one point that kept coming up over and over. You told us about it at our conferences... in our surveys... and in emails.

The most common question we heard over and over boiled down to this:

"I'm now completely convinced that selling products and services on the
Internet is the absolute best way to build wealth these days... but now...
how can I quickly acquire ALL the skills I need to do so?"

It's the same question every time.

Well we thought about it long and hard...

We certainly have excellent programs that give you these skills... and we have distinguished partners who have some very good programs as well.

But they are generally designed to do so over a period of time, and at a more extended pace. 

Who Can Seriously Profit From This Information?

Finally, there's an online marketing program that isn't just for copywriters (although copywriters will certainly benefit from the information). It's created for regular people who want to make more money online.

  • Business owners who use the Internet for marketing...

  • Internet entrepreneurs and "Infopreneurs"...

  • People planning to start an Internet business...

  • Copywriters ready to take their online skills to the next level...

  • Anyone who sends an email who hopes for a response...

  • Online newsletter publishers, editors, and writers...
  • Employees looking to impress their boss and climb the corporate ladder...

  • Anyone who wants a superior online presence...

  • You!

Anybody can sling words at the page and see what sticks. But there are specific techniques for crafting truly persuasive ads and copy campaigns that inspires your prospect to respond favorably to your message. After all, you don't want to just fill the space... you want to motivate people to do what you ask - and open their wallets in your direction.

Master this skill, and you can write your own ticket to a prosperous and successful future.

But the immediate problem is clear and urgent. With today's economy, our readers CAN NOT WAIT. You need action - and results - right NOW. 

And that's when we realized we'd need to do two things...

1) We'd have to set up a program FAST... in 60 days or less.

2) And we'd have to make it absolutely the best program of its kind, anywhere, anytime, anyhow - because these days, you can't settle for anything less than the best.

So if you want to grow your existing online business... or turn your business idea into a reality... you MUST become an expert in these skills now.

When we considered everything you would need to tap into the amazing amounts of cash that an online business can offer... and what it would take to give you the absolutely BEST online marketing and selling skills available anywhere...

Well, there was only one person to call.

Learning from the Legend

When "America's Top Copywriter," Mr. Bob Bly, answered my call - not only was he willing to help - he was almost giddy about it!

You see, Bob loves to market online. He's been a self-made multi-millionaire since he was in his 30s. He's built yet another financial empire - earning well over half a million dollars in 2008 alone - with much of his wealth coming from marketing his own products on the Web.

"I've spoken to a thousand copywriters over the years and Bob Bly is the best. He knows what he's doing."
--Joe Culotta, Natural Medicine Co.


"A special thanks to Bob for doing a superb job and making this work so well. I felt like a brilliant puppet in your hands."
--Michael Masterson, Early to Rise


"Just wanted to let you know that as of today we have a 13.5% response (orders, not just click-throughs) for Stealth Stocks from the e-mail you wrote for us."
--Gary Mizrahi, Stealth Stocks


"Your copy was right on target and played a major role in one of our most successful new product launches."
--Joan Damico, GretagMacbeth


"The Internet direct mail you wrote for us got an excellent response: 7.55% from a rented list of hard-to-excite prospects."
- Ken Paston, Studebaker-Worthington Leasing Corp.


"I don't know a single copywriter whose work would not be improved by reading this book (The Copywriter's Handbook, by Robert W. Bly). And that includes me. After reading it, I am a born-again fundamentalist."
- David Ogilvy, author, Ogilvy on Advertising


"Bob Bly is one of the best. He's adept in all media, and has a stylistic range that allows him to communicate effectively with virtually any audience. Bob truly delivers."
- David Totten, Chapman, Stone & Adler


"Bly Rules!"
- Murray Raphel, Raphel Marketing


"Mr. Copy."
- Markus Allen, Publisher


"America's top copywriter."
-- McGraw-Hill

Bob Bly has been called a lot of things... "A Copywriting Legend"... "The Guru of Direct Response"... "Superstar"... and much more.

And so when it was time to develop a stellar program for ETR readers - one focused on online marketing that MAKES YOU MONEY - I needed the best in the business. I needed Bly.

Bob Bly is a wealth-building savant when it comes to Internet marketing. He has the "been-there-done-that" experience to teach you - in clear and simple terms - how to make piles of cash selling information (or practically anything else) online.

Bob knows what works. And for over two special days in March, in the heart of New York City, he's ready to go in-depth to teach you what it takes to:

  • Generate $20,000 a month in online revenues "working" as little as 2 hours a week...

  • Develop the one technique that the world's greatest copywriters - including Paul Hollingshead, Michael Masterson, Gene Schwartz, Bill Jame, and Milt Pierce - all practice... and render flawlessly

  • Increase your e-mail open rates and click through rates 25% to 50% or more - just by changing a few words in your subject line...

  • Earn 20 times more per hour than you do now, starting this year...

  • Become a far more effective writer than 90% of the professional writers working today...

  • Write powerful bullets that make readers eager to order your product...

  • Close more sales online with the "drop in the bucket" technique for overcoming price resistance to high-priced products...

  • Quickly dash off e-newsletters and e-mails that bring you thousands of dollars in revenues every time you click "send"...

  • Unlock a shockingly easy "hidden logic" method that can generate 25% to 50% more leads and orders from virtually every piece of copy you write...

  • "Read the mind" of your prospect...and know exactly what they're thinking and what they want from you...without spending a dime on costly market research surveys and focus groups...

  • Get rich by selling your product for a dollar or even a penny...

  • Generate thousands of dollars in online revenues per week, at virtually no cost, with the "Agora Model" of e-mail marketing... 

  • And much, much more!

By the end of the seminar on Sunday, you will possess everything you need to dramatically ramp up your revenues online.

No, I'm not talking about the technical mumbo-jumbo of intricate website design, javascript, down-and-dirty details of pay-per-click graphics and the like. You can get plenty of good books on this stuff almost anywhere.

But here's what you can NOT get anywhere (except at this event)...

The secrets of how to effectively apply powerful persuasion techniques in all of your marketing so that your customers will be thrilled to pull out their wallets every time you communicate with them!

Why Bob Bly?

Bob Bly has used his powerful skills to make his clients rich for more than 25 years. He's written promotional copy for over 100 clients - some of the biggest names in their industries. He's also built an empire of his own products, using his marketing savvy to ensure their financial success.

Bly has authored more than 70 books - many of them industry classics - including The Copywriter's Handbook (Henry Holt) and Business-to-Business Direct Marketing (NTC Business Books). He has published dozens of articles in such publications as Subscription Marketing, Direct, Business Marketing, Writer's Digest, and Amtrak Express.

Being at the top of your field does not go without notice and accolades. His writing awards include a Gold Echo from the Direct Marketing Association, an IMMY from the Information Industry Association, two SouthStar Awards, an American Corporate Identity Award of Excellence, and the Standard of Excellence award from the Web Marketing Association. He also taught writing at New York University and in 2007 was named "Copywriter of the Year" by the American Writers and Artists Inc.

Despite his shy ways, Bly has been a guest on dozens of TV and radio shows including The Advertising Show, Bernard Meltzer, CNBC, and CBS Hard Copy. You may have also read about him - or his opinions - in major media, ranging from the LA Times and Nation's Business to the New York Post.

That's what Bob Bly knows better than perhaps anyone out there in the industry today. When you learn this, you'll hold the keys to the kingdom in your hand.

Now I have to be honest with you...

If it were up to him, Bob would be cloistered in his office in Dumont, New Jersey, working away on his lucrative marketing and copywriting projects. He really doesn't do any personal mentoring or coaching these days.

But when we explained how we KNEW he was the ONLY man for this job... and when we also told him it would be held in New York City, just across the river from his offices (coincidence? Perhaps not!)...

Well, let's just say he gladly agreed to give an elite group of individuals a weekend of solid non-stop instruction that can't be attained anywhere else.

Everything But the Kitchen Sink!
 (I Mean, Look at All You'll Get in a Weekend)

At this ultra-intensive weekend seminar, Bob Bly will boil down 3 decades of powerhouse marketing experience into all the key techniques you need today to reap extraordinary profits from the Internet.

You'll master all the copywriting, marketing and selling skills you need to quickly grow your business - and your bank account - shaving years off your "learning curve."

Ride the trends - Newspapers are on the way out. According to The Jack Myers Media Forecast, newspaper advertising declined 16% in 2008, while spending on Internet search advertising jumped up 21%.

You'll understand what goes on - and how to profit from it - at sites like: MySpace; YouTube; Facebook; Twitter; Second Life; LinkedIn; ExecuNet; Squidoo; Digg; and others.

Feed their craving - Satisfy your prospect's hunger for information. Turn the classic marketing documents into downloads - but the key is to write with the Web in mind. Bob will show you how. Capture more clients when you know how to create better white papers, case studies, sales brochures, press releases, and more - all designed to be consumed by visitors to your company site.

Phew! That's a whole lot to cram into a single weekend!

But that's only because we insist that you'll leave the event knowing exactly what you need to do to create the high-quality results-driven marketing efforts that will make your online business a thriving success.

In fact, if you use the Internet for marketing your business, you can't afford not to attend "Secrets to Selling on the Internet" on Friday through Sunday March 20, 21 and 22.

Now I do recommend you act fast, as space is very limited.

We have thousands of readers who could quickly profit from this information - and we are planning on only 50 openings for this exclusive event.

I wouldn't want you to be left behind for something as important as this - not when you have so much to gain.

But I'm afraid if you are #51 to sign up, we will have to reject your registration and you will miss out on this event.

Invest in Your
Bottom Line

With the economy in tough shape these days, you need to be concerned about the return on all your investments - your ROI.

So what kind of return could you get by investing in attending "Secrets to Selling on the Internet"?

Well let's take a look at just one case study...

I'm sure you realize that keeping in touch with your customer base - your "list" - is a very important concept in online marketing. You want your communications to be pithy, persuasive, and (especially) profitable.

The chart below reveals copywriting fees actually being charged by freelance copywriters today. Now, these prices are not from Bob Bly or Clayton Makepeace or anyone famous (their fees would be substantially higher). It's simply what a typical freelance writer charges in today's market.

Consider your own online marketing needs - and do the math for yourself. See what a huge value it is to learn the skills for yourself...

TYPICAL FREELANCE FEE SCHEDULE

Email, short copy $350-$950
Email, long copy $1,200-$2,500
Landing page, long copy $3,500
Micro-site   $1,000-5,000
Web site, home page $300-$1,200
Web site, other pages     $200-$450/page
Online ad $350-$1,500+
Sales letter $750-$5,000
Newsletter $350/page
Feature story $.75- $1.50/word
White paper $.75- $1.50/word
Press release (1-2 pages) $350
Copy critique $250-$600
Hourly rates $75-$150/hour

Loads of busy business owners and entrepreneurs end up hiring copywriters to handle the writing of their regular emails. So let's say you were to do the same. Here's what you should be ready to spend...

Emails to your list once a week: 52 emails a year at a discounted rate of $300 a pop = $15,600.

15 grand! Wow - that's a pretty big chunk of change out the door! And that's just for one campaign. And for a mid-level copywriter. A top pro could cost your much more than that.

But $15,000 (or more) is still a small price to pay for copy that racks up hundreds of thousands of dollars. That's why many of America's marketers gladly pay out these kinds of fees.

But to get personal training from Bob Bly, so you become an almost instant marketing genius, won't cost you $15,000.

"Secrets to Selling on the Internet" won't cost $10,000 either, although that would be a remarkable bargain.
