The automated site-builder software “INSTANT AutoPilot” now has a new add-on …

You may already know that the software builds you  massive database-driven website that updates itself every day automatically, which you can customise to your own style and function.

Now, INSTANT AutoPilot (IAP) comes with Resale Rights. 

That means, once you have your own copy and license, then you can resell it to earn from it. 

If you make a sale, whenever your customer pays, you earn - whether they choose the Pay Monthly or the Pay Once version. In either case you earn 50% commission.That means 50% residual recurring commissions for the Pay Monthly, and 50% up front (in bigger amounts) for the Pay Once version.

At today’s prices, that means you get paid either £50 for the Pay Once or £5 every month for the Pay Monthly version.

NOTE: You must own a live license for IAP to use the Resale Rights.

If you are not an INSTANT AutoPilot owner go now to www.instantautopilot.com

If you do already own your own INSTANT AutoPilot, then you will get an email giving you access to the sign up form.

1. iPhone
2. iPhone Insurance
 
Read on …
 
You probably already know that the most anticipated thing in the mobile phone industry is coming soon - the much awaited iPhone launches on the 9th November here in the UK.
 
And I have a personal secret for you …
 
For someone who works in the mobile phone industry, I don’t normally get that excited about a new mobile phone - with most phones I just think “Sure, its handy, but its just a phone”.  However, the iPhone is different.
 
I AM excited about the iPhone.  We purchased one early so we could check it out and see what all the fuss is about.  
 
And I can honestly say - now I KNOW what all the fuss is about.
 
It is THE most amazing phone - and I don’t say that lightly!
 
It is a mobile phone, an iPod MP3-player and an internet-access device all rolled into one device with state-of-the-art easy-to-use navigation.  And the good part - I am NOT over-hyping this.
 
It is without a doubt a major turning point in the growth and development of mobile phones and telecoms in general - as well as the overall connectedness of people.
 
The only real downside is that you need to see it to fully appreciate it.
 
For this reason we are recommending that …
 
1. You watch the free videos available on your site, and
 
2. Preorder your own iPhone so you have it, to fully experience it. 
 
You will then be in a better position to sell and earn from the next major wave in telecoms.
 
iPhone Preorder:
Right now on your site, you and your customers can pre-order the iPhone.  This means you can place your order in advance of the rush and be the first in the queue to get it on November 9th.
 
You can do all of this at http://www.2u.co.uk/iphone
 
iPhone Insurance:
As you can probably imagine, because it is the best phone/iPod/internet-access device on the market, the iPhone is not cheap.  It will retail at £269 on O2 contract.
 
Pretty much all owners are going to be proud and protective of their new iPhone.
 
This means there is going to be a big demand for iPhone Insurance - to protect their new expensive device.
 
For this reason, on your site right now, we have specifically created an iPhone Insurance policy - to offer all those hoards of new iPhone owners everything they need - full, sensible protection at a cost-effective rate.
 
You can see this at http://www.2u.co.uk/iPhoneInsurance
 
From our research, there is very little competition for iPhone Insurance out there - you could be *miles* ahead.  Have a look on www.google.co.uk and search for “iPhone insurance” - you will see there is little else available.
 
This means the market is wide open for you.
 
Now here is what we suggest you do …
 
* Build your own separate website for iPhone Insurance
 
If you already have your own insurance website, then add iPhone Insurance pages to it.  You will then have a far greater chance of climbing up the search engines for an “iPhone insurance” search - while there is little competition.
 
If you have not yet built your own separate website (other than your .2u.co.uk site) then you need to do this first.  For the tutorial on how to do this go to http://www.2uaffiliates.com/training-centre/MarketingHelp/AffiliateMarketingHelp
 
Once you have your own separate website then you should write your own insurance pages and promote the 2u iPhone Insurance there.  You should read these guidelines on how to write your own insurance pages - http://www.2uaffiliates.com/articles/2007/09/27/how-to-write-your-own-insurance-web-pages/
 
On the bottom of each page promoting the 2u insurance, you must put the FSA Compliance iframe. You can get (and customise) this by logging in with your normal 2u login details at http://www.2uaffiliates.com/training-centre/fsa
 
There are now new non-branded order form pages which you can use in your site.  So when your customer goes from your own iPhone insurance website, with its look and feel, they are then not confused by seeing the 2u brand - they see the plain non-branded order form.
 
The non-branded order form pages are available at the end of
the FSA Compliance iframe customisation at http://www.2uaffiliates.com/training-centre/fsa
 
So that is it.  You need to create your own iPhone Insurance website pages so you can get quickly up the search engine results, while there is little competition.
 
Then you can be ready to take advantage of the new demand for iPhone Insurance.
 
Once you have put all of this into action, if you have any questions, please feel free to use the 2u Forum at http://www.2uaffiliates.com/forum.
 
Good luck promoting the 2u iPhone Insurance!

If you use Pay Per Click (PPC) in any of your online marketing then you should have a closer look at this …

There has been a flurry of highly priced new release software that spys on other marketers PPC campaigns so you get the inside scoop on what is working for them - so you can copy.  It’s kind of sneaky but it clearly works.  There are 2 key drawbacks with most of these PPC spy software packages.  1 is that you have to host the software, which can be difficult and also heavy on your server.

The other reason is better outlined here

I do not personally do PPC advertising for the simple reason that we leave that to you, the 2u affiliates - we do not want to compete with our own affiliates.  But if I did do PPC marketing, then I would certainly be looking closely at this new software to help me bring down the cost of my adverts, AND to locate more effective ads.

Further info is here

Thank you to those people who responded to the survey about seminars and workshops to teach you the skills needed to be successful online and with 2u.

If you have not yet completed this, you can now at
http://www.2uaffiliates.com/public/survey-seminar.php

 Results:

So the short-story is, yes, people want seminars and workshops to learn online marketing skills, on a Saturday.

This is your chance to tell us how we can help you more …
 
It will take you 2-3 minutes, nothing more.

A number of affiliates have asked us to put on a seminar or workshop to train them in what they need to do be more successful with 2u.
 
So, we would really appreciate if you would now tell us what you think …

Creating your own separate websites to sell the 2u Insurance is a good idea that is a proven formula for increasing the amount of money you make.

But exactly how should you do it, and what are the rules?

This is what we will look at here.

1. DO NOT copy from any other site - DO NOT copy from 2u.co.uk

2. DO follow the FSA Guidelines below

3. DO include the FSA compliance iframe code on every page on your site.

4. DO NOT copy the Terms and Conditions into your site.  Live-link to the Terms on 2u.co.uk.  Details below.

DO NOT copy from any other site - DO NOT copy from 2u.co.uk 

You probably already know that you should NOT copy wording and content from 2u.co.uk.  You are encouraged and advised to build your own separate web site that promotes the 2u products, because then you control that site completely, and you wil have unique content that the search engines will love and rank higher.

How to Write Your Own Web Pages on Insurance

So you should write your own web pages about the 2u insurance.  But what are the rules and guidelines on what you can and cannot say?

You need to follow these guidelines for writing your own web page information about the insurance, in order to legally stay FSA compliant:

DO follow the FSA Guidelines.

FSA Guidelines:

1. Your wording must be clear, fair and not misleading
2. If you say something positive about the product you must be able to qualify what you are saying with facts. For example if you said “We are the cheapest” then you will have to compare prices against the competition.
3. If comparing with other products or services the comparisons must be accurate.
4. If using testimonials make sure you have all the evidence (date, name and customer)
5. If using newspaper articles they must indicate the date the article was published and the newspaper name.
6. Do not use small type in Terms and Conditions
7. Do not discredit competition

So follow these guidelines and write your own content.  Then you have your own unique site that the search engines will love and rank.

DO include the FSA compliance iframe code on every page on your site.

FSA Compliance iframe:
Make sure you put the FSA iframe on all of your pages which promote the 2u insurance.  Get this FSA iframe when you login here then put it onto the bottom of every page on your site.

Non-branded order pages:
Rather than your customer going from the look and feel of your site, then through to the different look and feel of the 2u site and order pages, we have created a set of non-branded order pages for you.  Once you have gone through the FSA iframe process, you will then be given access to the non-branded URL web addresses, which you can put into your website.  You get the correct URLs to use after you have put the FSA Complinace code into your site. 

This means the customer then has a seamless experience, going from your site through to the order pages, without seeing the (different looking) 2u logo and branding.

DO NOT copy the Terms and Conditions into your site.  Live-link to the Terms on 2u.co.uk

Anyone found with copied Terms will have their affiliate account SUSPENDED immediately because the Terms will be out of date, which means a customer could purchase under the wrong, old Terms.
  
You MUST live-link to the Terms on 2u.co.uk.
  
There are a number of ways you can do this.  Choose whichever best suits you and your site.
  
You can iframe include the Terms, you can open a new window with the Terms in, or you can use the RSS feed for the Terms.  You can change the font but you must NOT change any wording.
  
URLs:
  
Link to
http://www.2u.co.uk/mobile-phone-insurance/insurance_terms_and_conditions.php 

or use the include file at
http://www.2u.co.uk/mobile-phone-insurance/insurance_terms_include.php 
 
or the RSS feed at
http://www.2u.co.uk/terms_rss.php 
  
Again, we cannot allow affiliates to copy the Terms into their site.  We will suspend accounts found with copied Terms.  This means that the customer cannot then purchase. 

When you do all this, you have a good-looking website that the search engines and your customers will love.

I have an important announcement for you

Previously we have allowed affiliates to copy content that is owned and copyrighted to 2u.  However, because of recent changes in Google’s calculations, sites that have very similar or identical words get penalised ie not ranked or ranked much lower in the search results.

So we cannot allow the 2u content (words) to be copied - its not good for you, and its not good for us.   To be honest you are much better off with your own unique content, so it is in your own interest to create your own words.

 So …

1. DO NOT COPY ANYTHING FROM www.2u.co.uk

2. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY COPIED from 2u.co.uk then you need to create your own words.  Put it in your own unique words.

Our legal team have advised that we give everyone 2 months to fully remove all copied content from their sites.  After 2 months (ie after 17th October 2007) we will be checking up on sites that are found to have copied from 2u, and making sure they remove all copied content. 

Remember, it is not in your interest to have copied (duplicate) content and it is not in our interest to have our content copied.

We want to help you to sell, and that means having your own unique websites.

NOTE:  Your own affiliate .2u.co.uk website is OK - Becase we control the content of thhe .2u.co.uk sites you do not nee to worry about this.

If you are using the phones datafeed then you DO NOT HAVE TO change the content (mostly the phones descriptions) but I would encourage and advise you to, for your own site’s quality.

If you have an INSTANT AutoPilot site (www.instantautopilot.com), again, you do not have to change the content (mostly the phones description - FYI the IAP sites use a different set of phones descriptions to the ones on 2u.co.uk which is why it is less important that you change the content), but I would encourage and advise you to, so your site is unique and different to others - you benefit from this.

If you want to get someone else to re-write your phones descriptions, I would recommend searching for a provider (at much lower cost) at www.elance.com

If you want to do it yourself, simply start small and do a few each day.

As a rule of thumb, make sure that no 5 consecutive words are identical.  Reword it, change the words around AND use different words - insert other words, remove some words. Again, make sure that no 5 words in a row are the same as anything copied from 2u.co.ukor any other site.

If you have any questions, then contact me by replying to any newsletter you receive. 

So please do not copy in future and please remove all wording you have copied from 2u.co.uk

I hope you can see why this is necessary and in everyone’s interest.

Thank you.
