  1. I really enjoyed this training… Very easy to understand and excellent way to show us where are we going, and how to get there..
    Thanks a lot… Looking forward to implementing the program and taking action.

  2. Thank you very much Zane. Lots of information here. As you were in your early days, I work full time and I wonder to be more efficient with all the information we have here, if it is not better to devote full time to better success… Otherwise, it may not be realistic. What’s your opinion? Thank you.

  3. Thank you Zane….slow and steady I am getting there…I watch the video when my “state” is down….and it brings me up again….

  4. Lots of goodies (information)! Great Zane. Thank you!
    I went and checked on Offervault. Offervault is NOT a network (according to Offervault on their website). Offervault is a reference tool to help (an internet marketer) find offers to promote. What I understand is that the site is just a “house” for the offers, where all the offers are presented in one place. It is a place for Affiliate Marketers who are looking for advertising campaigns to promote. If an Affiliate Marketer wants to promote an offer found in Offervault, the AM has to join the network that has the offer and get the affiliate link from the network. If the AM earns a commission, the AM will get paid from the network, NOT from Offervault.
    When I went to check the site out, I was lost. I don’t know how we can use it for brainstorming purposes. For a newbie like me, it is a very chaotic and confusing place.

  5. Well done Zane! The overview is well explained.
    I’ve watched the entire video and also downloded the PDF. I enjoy it. Thank you very much.

  6. “Every part of your email strategy brings you closer or farther away from sales.”

    This is a concise pearl of wisdom!

  7. I would like to talk to someone to get a better understanding of word descriptions for some of the tech needs to begin my business. I am not tech savvy and want to know the difference between a domain, hosting package and a web site.

  8. Hi, I don’t normally post comments but I after reading some comments below I wanted to address hopefully the individuals whom maybe slightly overwhelmed. I believe in you and know you will do great and amazing things so take a breath and start taking action one step at a time. Continue to start small and when you look up you would have accomplished something large.

  9. Hi
    With this introductory steps, just wondering, with no background in computer and business be able to handle all of these 6 steps as my background is nursing.
    Thanks.

  10. Thank you Zane. Very informative. I would like to know, if someone does not want or is not keen on writing all those emails can I use the solo ads entirely for this purpose? Is that the function of the solo ads?

  11. Thank you so much, Zane! I’m getting into this late after finishing (or taking a big chunk out of) unfinished business, but I’m not stressing. It ‘s becoming easier to “burn through” this info, and you and Anik are, well, in a word or three, engaging, entertaining, genuine, and clear! (OK, that was four words hee-hee!). It’s Thursday 3/12 and Mod 2 is released, and I’m not Even started on Mod 1 yet, but no worries. Profit Academy is now my numero uno priority … the one I come back to for “dessert” when everything is done (or at a satisfactory level of “done”). Piecemeal works best for me. Burnout is evil. It just, uh, “burns me out.” (LOL.) Ok. ‘nuf commenting — quick break to do some dishes (see? mixing it up helps!) then come back to class.

  12. Wow, This is just Amazing. I’m already so excited and pumped up for what’s ahead. outstanding overview to launching your business. Thanks Zane, you rock!

  13. Zane … another great presentation. You are so clear and communicative, Thank You, Charles

  14. I’m new to this, but they’ve broken it out into steps even I can follow. These quick overviews seem a little scary, but they are helping me learn the vocabulary and understand the whole process. Can’t wait to dive into the steps!

  15. Scary!!! I am interested in many of the “niches” thrown out, but am NOT AN EXPERT in any of them. This program is nothing like presented in the 3 hour infomercials.

    1. Hi Gail. You were never required or expected to be an expert. None of us were when we started out. It’s better to try, fail, and get up than to never try at all. You don’t know what you’re capable of until you try. Don’t let fear prevent you from taking a step. “100% of the shots you don’t take, don’t go in!”

    2. Hi Gail, You took the words right out of my mouth. This has made me even more anxious especially after reading the comments afterwards. It appears that most people seem to understand the gist of all of this (it’s completely new and alien to me) and looking forward to learning more whereas, it’s making me more intimidated as I have exactly the same problem as you. I’m a ‘Jack of All trades and Master of none’. It’s a huge ‘ask’ to keep going and just learn by your mistakes.

  16. Thanks Zane…the Magazines.com site is a great resource not only for product ideas…but Ad headlines as well 🙂

  17. Thanks Zane. The discussion quite covered a lot of the basic and important concepts, I should say, put in a nutshell laying down the e-business direction. Way to go! 🙂

  18. Thanks Zane for breaking down and explaining the process into six easy steps to launching your business together with the useful resources you have given us. Simply awesome. This is where the rubber meets the road.

  19. Great overview Zane. It’s an important source of knowledge, pointer to a starting point, knowing exactly where to start. what to do. how to accomplish it and bring it together to make an excellent source of online income. Thank you once again.

  20. Great job Zane! I great overview. Tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them and tell them what you told them. Well done!

  21. You had mentionned that the auto responder was included in the program and copy and paste done for you……Where could we get the copy and paste formula for product outline, emails, offer?
    Could you answer me before going any further? Thanks

    Thanks Zane

    1. I am getting very worried when, or if, we will ever see the information as promised. Not looking good when Zane highly recommends three auto responders, not including the one we are getting. Did anybody else get the definite impression that we could start without any further investment at this point? Being as Anik was very specifically asked about same!

  22. You make me thirsty for knowledge. I wish I could just pop off the top of my head and pour it all in- with instant understanding and mastery. I am really excited…just a touch apprehensive…and eager to take on the challenge. Well done Zane- your calm, soothing voice resonates with me and I am eager for more. God bless you and may He bless each of us in our entrepreneurial journey.

  23. This is great content! Nice to have the bird’s eye view so that my subconscious mind can chew on it and get more comfortable with the things that are out of my comfort zone while the rest of me is taking action on the easier, more do-able steps along the way.

  24. Hi Zane,
    Thank you very much for the info. It is really really good. I am confused between two niches as to what to choose. One is Wealth and the other is Personality development. Please help me on this.

  25. Zane,

    Thank you so much. I’ve got lots of ideas and new infos that you feed in here. Looking forward to dig in more in the coming modules. God bless!

  26. More piles of info to understand! Everything was well done & clearly defined – thanks for that. I’m quite glad I have some time to let my mind process it all. Looking forward to identifying my first niche & then getting started on actual implementation!

  27. Thank you for another excellent overview/training. I am still in the discernment process for my profitable niche. I appreciate the suggestions for brainstorming business names (and ideas). I have a sense of urgency for getting an opt-in page and starting to get traffic, but I have to remind myself to trust the system and follow the steps. Zane reviewed 4 auto-responder providers, but I seem to recall Anik mentioning a 90 day free trial for an auto-responder service. I’m eager to research free gifts, but I really need to know my profitable niche first. Is it a good idea to let your subscribers know on your opt-in page to expect to receive frequent emails from you? Since we are building relationships with our list, do we want all of our social media accounts to be “business accounts” or is it ever advisable to help your subscribers to connect with your personal social media accounts? Thank you for the over-view of traffic sources (paid and free).

  28. Zane, just a short note to say thank you for a clear, intensive presentation. Even though my head swims – all of this is brand new to me- i was able to take copious notes and learned a lot not only about the covered material but also about myself….especially about how little i do know! This synopsis clarified for me what I do like and do not like in the field of emails and e’sales.Thank you again, and your gentle voice helped my already frayed nerves. God Bless. mariepaule

  29. Please which of the plr sites (idler.com or plr assassins) will you recommend I should join? I also want to know if included in the package is automatic membership of some of these sites? Which ones so I won’t have to pay again to join them??

  30. Really enjoyed the video….great overview of the steps to follow. Looking forward to implementing the steps!!

  31. This is truly alot, I’ve done free marketing and advertising before and I have to say that if I had known about these 6 steps I might have had a better chance at making it work for me. I just can’t wait now to see what can be done to really increase my success rate.

  32. Wow Zane, this module gave me a much better picture how this actually works. Thank you for making it easy to understand.

  33. I got a lot of value in this lesson and it’s only in the intro module! I especially appreciate the info around PLR. Just even discovering the Googleable search terms of “Private Label Right” and “PLR” is super helpful! I like writing and delivering my own content, but knowing more about how to access and research this opens up possibilities. I see how it can play into affiliate marketing, the recipe for exponential growth……. I also appreciate the research suggestions in using Clickbank, OfferVault, and Magazines.com in regards to clarifying my niche. I look forward into diving deeper into how to narrow it down. I KNOW I’ll fly after sorting this out! I can speak to MANY topics that I enjoy and I cross over several niches. As a creative and synergistic being, focusing on a main one to strategically start with can be a challenge to choose. But I like a good challenge that gets awesome results! 🙂

  34. Thank you…..getting more familiar with the steps and the jargon now!….being a novice myself!

    And I am inspired!…If he can do it, So can I!

  35. hello Zane.
    I have joined today.
    first when i started watching , i have got upset, thinking that i paid for information i have already known.
    Then, when you were saying what to do without saying how, i got terrified, that this is some kind of scam i had subscribed and paid for 2 years ago when the Yahoo was hacked, and i was sent a link to click bank.And I paid!

    But after just completing this session i feel safe and there was a lot of info to digest.
    And to confess. i know probably 60% of info you are delivering.
    But it was in pieces, and in doubts if is right or not, like puzzles that don’t want to match.
    You just gave me a structure.
    A system.
    And it puts my mind at peace and brain into action.
    I spent all morning watching and listening and making notes of what i did not know before.
    Thank you for making me believe that soon I will be able to make enough money to pay off my credit cards)))))
    it is good to know that i am not on my own anymore)))

  36. This is great BASIC Foundation for the 21st Century Digital Age or Information Age We are in early stage of the Digital Age…
    thanks Zane for this great information…

  37. Loved this overview! This segment got me especially excited to learn more and get moving. I admit I was a bit intimidated when I first signed up, but now I feel like this is so do-able that I’m really itching to get my business up and running! Thank you!

  38. Information like this cannot be repeated too often. Once it becomes part of one’s thinking, utilizing it becomes so much easier! Thank you for your excellent presentation.

  39. Thank Zane for posting this video. It is very helpful. Right now we are still researching on a great niche!! Good luck to everyone!

    1. My expectations about on this Program [even at this level] are simply exceeded! I didn’t expect any less. Anik and Zane, You guys are simply awesome! My goal is simple.. to construct my business structure [stage 1] as I am led by hand by the ‘experts’ through these ‘tested methods’ in the record time! And guess what, my dream is to get at least 10000 List within the 90 Days period. I am really sold. Thanks a lot. I feel and expect to get simple and matter of fact presentations of the subsequent modules.

  40. I’d love more info on ways to spread your opt-in page or website besides the forums and blogs. In my experience I never got responses or traffic this way. Where did I go wrong?

  41. Informative and worth the time.

    I downloaded the powerpoint slides and there are few slides for “Auto-Responder vs Broadcast” which I believe was put in error as not in the video. No big deal, but just wanted to mention so that those extra slides can be taken out (if desired).

    1. Thank you, Sweta. I was wondering what happened to the Auto-responder vs broadcast that Zane mentioned in his second to last sentence. I was quite confused. So now, I will go to the power point to find what was missing from the video.

  42. I really enjoy Zane’s presentations. My anxiety levels are really high about this. If it weren’t for his soft, calming voice and his easy going manner of getting this information across I might have been scared away from this by now, He makes it all seem very achievable. Look forward to the next steps. Thanks to Anik, Zane and everyone at PA for making this opportunity available.

  43. When speaking of the opt-in page and autoresponder, I have signed up for the 90 day trial of Sendlane. You did not mention this when talking about the opt-in page, but companies like LeadPages. I have recently canceled them as I was using them before for things I was trying and not working. If we’re using Sendland, why would we need anything else if they act as the autoresponder and the opt-in page builder? Perhaps we would just need a hosting account? I still have Hostgator. Thanks for the training so far, I’m so excited to get started!

    1. Hi Debbie. SendLane combines both landing page creation, self-hosting of those landing pages and an autoresponder service. Additionally, if you already have hosting, you have the option to download the landing pages you create in HTML format to use on your own site/server. For help or additional questions about SendLane, you’ll want to post them directly in the SendLane section of the forum: http://forum.profitacademy.com/forum/solo-swap/sendlane-com

  44. Hi, I have gone on to the websites suggested, they either require money or do not allow you to give them away for free -if they are free. Would you direct me to a website that I can use. Thanks

  45. The structure makes sense and easy enough to follow through. Writing those emails are still a concern for me. I am not a writer. If you have to send an email every day to a prospect, when you do stop? 90 emails over 90 days to the same prospect and then start all over again?

    1. Hey Cobus. You don’t “have” to mail daily. That’s not for everyone. The ‘take away’ here is not to be afraid to mail often 🙂

  46. I’m not sure if I saw videos as a source of traffic but there is a way to put a clickable link inside youtube videos that goes to your site / opt-in page! You gotta verify through webmasters/analytics to get Youtube to let you though.

    Anyway, good stuff!

  47. The lessons, although Overview, were rich, instructive, informative, and really gives me the sense of “I CAN DO THIS”. The buyer’s remorse kept on popping its ugly head, but I head to keep it down, to push it down and let it know that this is A BRAND NEW DAY! IT IS A BRAND NEW ME! IT IS MY TIME! and I am convinced that no matter what life throws at me I WILL HANDLE IT!
    Thank you Zane, thank you Anik!
    It is not over until it is over on my terms! Let’s get going!!

  48. Great presentation Zane! Wow, the passion and understanding you have really shines through. Lovely to learn from you 🙂

  49. Every video of Anik’s so far keeps skipping, but only Anik’s. The others are ok. Also, in the above 6 steps, Anik says the next video will explain it, but nothing happens. There is a powerpoint slide to download, but no video. Please let me know how to view the video and stop his videos from skipping.

    1. Try viewing in a different browser or on a different computer or laptop. It could be a temporary bandwidth issue with your internet provider. I noticed something similar recently when using Firefox, but it stopped doing that when I viewed in Chrome.

    1. Hi Rose. Zane list the 6 steps in the video (you can quickly go to the 37 minute mark at the end to see the recap of those steps), but the videos that go with each of those steps are in the training queue in the member’s area. Make sure you’re going through each of the modules in order, as they become available. Jot down any questions in a Word doc or similar as you go through each. There are weekly webinars that allow for questions and answers.
