I earned $3,000 in 7 days from 5 hours of work.
February 4, 2007
If you haven't already heard of my latest method for earning lots of money by creating and selling small reports for $7 each, then I suggest you read about it. I knew it was a good idea, but I never dreamed it would get the huge amount of positive publicity that it has!
I was impressed with my first report's results: $3,000+ in 7 days from 5 hours of work.
But this new report… wow. As of the time of writing this post, more than 3,000 copies have been sold, and I've earned more than $5,500 and added 2,700+ people to my mailing list–all from this one little report! And PayPal was giving some people problems, so I know I missed quite a few sales (maybe they couldn't handle all the sales I was making ;)).
If you have read the report, I'd love to know your thoughts on it, so please post your comments below. If you haven't ready it, what are you waiting for? Go get it!
TIP For Non-Marketing Niches
I've had a number of people ask me how they would go about recruiting affiliates if they are in a niche where most customers won't become affiliates. If you're in a niche like that, and you want to find people to sell your own $7 reports, then here's what I suggest you do:
- Go to your favorite search engine and search for sites related to your report.
- Email each webmaster personally–or better yet, look them up at whois.sc and give them a call.
- Let them know about your report, give them a free copy for review, and if they agree to sell it, send them their affiliate link.
In the Internet Marketing sector it's easy to find a lot of people to resell your reports–a lot of people who buy it will turn around and promote it. But in other niche markets, you have to work just a little bit harder. It's very much worth the effort, though, so get busy!
In fact, the above 3 steps are a great way to promote any product of yours to niche markets, even if it's not a $7 report.

I have seen these sales offering a 100% commissions on the internet for some time but could never find the "script". After I bought your eBook and found out how you are doing it I am even more amazed.
If I had been able to get ahold of this script just a few months ago I would have tripled my list by now. As it is I am using it now and will continue to use it to build my list.
Thanks for a great, and timely, product!
Love the concept, love the report … love the results!
Thanks a $million.

Hi Jon,
An excellent report, worth way more than what you're charging for it!
I wish I could have gotten hold of the script months ago, too. I wouldn't have to be getting out in the cold at 5:30 in the morning to leave for my J.O.B. right now!
Thanks a million for including it!

Hi Jonathan,
I think the report is a breath of fresh air in today's Internet Marketing climate. I think you have really hit the right note, so many of us are tired of trying to make $97, $47 or even $27 sales, and, as you so rightly point out, that's only the start of the aggravation! I have so many emails along the lines of "I downloaded the product, where did it go? I can't find it…give me my money back."
I immediately punched up a bit of "cyber-dust" on to rayzee.net and I eagerly await results.
Keep "doing it to it" Jonathan…let's have more of your brain :¬)
Kind regards,
Rayzee (Ray Fearnley)
Jonathan, this idea is an absolute winner!
I'm convinced that most people are far more likely to spend a few dollars on a nice little, 30 page, lazer targeted report, than a bulky, fluff ridden - $27-$67 manual.
The 100% commission script is worth ten times the price of the book and I have started to impliment it in my info products already.
I think you might just have changed the course of marketing info products on the internet!!
I've even convinced my girlfriend to knock-out a small 'How To' report about her job in the medical profession.
Thanks and congratulations on your success..it proves it works!

Jonathan,
Great report and a great strategy.
What makes this different than anything else out there is how easy it is to set up to pay affiliates the 100% comissions instantly.
You could have easily charged for access to the script.
Job well done.
Sincerely,
Brian T. Edmondson
I was shocked! Sent your $7 report out to a small list 291 contacts. Only 26 opened the email. The result was two $7 sales and one $47 sale. As a new marketer my paypal accounts has never seen that kiind of action!
Count me in on any future ideas.
Thanks Jonathon
the only concern i have it the naked affiliate link, which makes stealing commissions very easy to do. It displays the Paypal email address too blatantly. Could you create more secure version in the future?
Also, realted to the earlier post, the spam factor by displaying your email address publicly on your website etc. I hope that can be addressed too..
Jonathan,
Your report is just astounding! Rock solid content. Definitely worth way more than its price. You have trumped the big internet marketing gurus with this.
You're a genius! And a kind soul! Thank you for the opportunity you so generously gave us. I for one am truly grateful.
Here's to your success!
George:
If you're concerned, just use a free redirection site to cloak your link.
There was a concern about this script. It was mentioned that if the person wants a refund and the affiliate does not make the refund, you will have a problem because it is your product or your branded report.
How do you manage refunds if the affiliate does not service the refund request?
Brian:
1) I don't offer a guarantee. Seriously, it's a $7 product… money-back guarantee? I don't offer one.
2) If the person is persistant and the sale wasn't mine, I tell them to contact the person on the receipt.
But that's what I would do in theory–I've only received 2 refund requests out of 3,627 sales. So it's really a non-issue.
How do I use this to build MY list?
Daniel:
By following the outlined steps in the report to create and sell your own $7 infoproducts.
Hey there Jonathan,
7$ secrets is one sweet little piece of info. And the marketing for it is just as good, and it came just in time for a new venture.
Consice, informative and helpful. I'm truly impressed.
Keep up the great work of simplifying the complicated.

Hi Jonathan,
Good report.
One thing: Which marketplace do you use to get affiliates to promote the product?
Clickbank is not possible with your strategy. They allow only 75% commission.
All the best
Richard
Jonathan, just got your email - thanks. In it you mention this:
"P.S. Have you read the latest Internet Marketing news today?
http://www.imtoday.net/"
My question is….. How do we get our news in there?
Thanks

PS:
You were looking for feedback on the 7DollarSecrets report.
Brilliant.
I bought your previous report (on videos as traffic generators, from memory) and I wondered how that "pay the affiliate through PayPal" script looked like in practice. Now, I know. So easy to review the .php files and see how it works. So easy to use too.
I wrote to my list saying we can expect to see a lot more $7 sales — and they've started already.
You started something here, J.
Gary
i must say this is absolutely brilliant and thank you Jonathan!
i was wondering if we get the 50-50 split script for the MRR as well if we buy the MRR?
thanks..
Lily
Lily:
Yes, you get a 50-50 split on the one time offer.
50% of the sales are sent directly to your PayPal email address.
Jon
Jon,
i'm asking about the SCRIPT for the 50-50 split..:))
Lily
Ah, that's coming soon. I'm working out a few kinks in the new script for supporting that, and you will get it when it's ready.
Jon
David slays Goliath with this one! I never quite got it with the whole 'viral' marketing concept until now. "7 Dollar Secrets" over delivers and the business model is just the icing on the cake.
Hi Jon,
Just dropping by to say THANK YOU, for the 7 dollar secrets! The script and video tutorial are worth more than 7 bucks.
Thanks again
Matt Ng
what language do you guys have for your script?
Michael Rogers,
I looked earlier. Now, the pic on the bottom doesn't show.
Darren,
If you have to ask, then you probably wouldn't know it even if you were told.
Jon,
Can't thank you enough. Well, I do have a tiny mailing list, but I sold a few copies already! Still can't believe it! I'm in a state of shock!
Cheers to you!
i actually get the script; but what i download is half of them is english. and half of them look like spanish. i am not sure
"Genius" is a word I do NOT throw around lightly but this guy Leger is REALLY onto something. With $7DS I can actually see a light at the end of the tunnel, and it's not a train!
Some how my post 'disappeared' about how well my version of your $7.00 Secret is working. So I'll re-state the facts: It works great. We can all share the wealth, Jon. Thanks for keeping the freedom of speech alive and well. You can see I've mentioned you by name with a link back on my review site. Keep up the great work.
Michael Rogers
Jonathan, thanks for this great product. I already have my site up and running (no sales yet, but it has only been 4 hours…). I am going to email this to my small list and see what happens. Thanks, and keep it going!!!
I am guessing this is usefull for people trying to sell advice of some kind…not for a simple blogger like myself?
