Dear DP members! Several years ago, I provided marketing training, copywriting, and coaching services to quite a few online business owners, small and medium sized. Feedback was always great, and satisfaction was key to repeat business. Since I am looking to establish myself in the field again, and starting out is always hard, I figured I have to start low again, and work my way up. Who are you? My name is Adi Friedman. I have roughly 7 years of experience in online businesses, ranging from affiliate marketing to affiliate management, CRM, campaign management, copywriting, basic design, functionality & usability, and the list goes on. I have been travelling, and have served the army in the last few years, so I took some time off in that respect. What exactly am I getting here? You're getting my time, and experience, towards improving your online business - for the lowest possible rates I can handle. I will write a custom 500 word Business Improvement Plan, tailored to your online business (Each plan is completely unique, and will review your online business, inside out!) with my best possible advice, tips, tricks and recommendations for fine-tuning your online business, increasing your conversion, improving site-to-visitor interaction, and many other helpful tips. To get a perspective, this post itself is around 500 words long, so you'll be getting a document that is pretty much the size of this post, talking specifically about YOUR business, and what you can do to improve it, in all possible ways. There has to be a catch here... You caught me there. I'm asking for something in exchange. If I provide a satisfying, helpful service - put in a good word! You don't have to do that, only do so if you honestly believe my service was worthwhile. Confidentiality is key, and unless I specifically request your approval, my reports and findings will be completely private. How much does it cost? Just $9.95. I'm confident you will be happy with the report I provide. This is why I ask that you don't pay me until you have seen the document, and are satisfied with it!. This price includes answers to questions you may have after seeing the document. What if I am not satisfied with your Improvement Plan? Simple - you don't pay, move on, and we part as friends I don't want you to pay for my service if you are not happy with it! I'm interested in phone consultation, rather than a text documents, what are your rates I will charge DPers only 25 cents per minute. If you would like me to place the call, extra call rates will apply (I have very low rates to most parts of the world). The cost is made on a per minute basis! (in other words, I will only charge you for the actual minutes I spent helping you on the phone). How can you make money like that? You're right, I can't. I am only offering this to the first few individuals who want to take me up on this offer . After that, I'll be on my way, with the testimonials I was looking to get out of this. Wishing you the best of luck with your online business, and here's to your success! Adi Friedman, Partner. Two Believers Web Holdings.
I'd like to take you up on your offer for my small business and personal success forum at http://www.discussbusiness.com/ My primary focus at this time is on attracting members and providing an excellent service to them. I am not focused on generating revenue from the forum at this time, so please don't write about that. However, some brief suggestions on longer term revenue strategies would be welcome. Please contact me via PM.
I'll contact you via PM shortly. I'll be able to complete a report probably tomorrow morning. As soon as you receive my report, please feel free to post your feedback here Adi Friedman, Partner. Two Believers Web Holdings.
Adi, thanks for your report. There are some good suggestions in there. There are a couple of things about the forum that I should have told you that would have helped your report. Sorry, it was my fault that I didn't give you the info. Basically I started the forum a few years ago and then it got neglected. Hence, it became a SPAM haven. I'm now cleaning it up - hence the hi number of non posters. I reward members for posting on another forum, like your suggestion for DB. I won't be doing that with DB because I find it encourages way too much SPAM. Even where the posts are not that Spammy it becomes obvious that they are being made for a reward. My plan for this forum is that it will be high end and provide valuable advice and content to its members. I think the idea of a newsletter is great. If you send me a PM with your PayPal email, I will gladly send you payment for the report.
You're welcome! For $9.95, I'm sure you'll agree it will return its investment extremely fast! I would be happy to create another report for a more content-filled website, which is usually my expertise - a forum is a bit hard to give tips about, because most of the tips are well-known, but I think I still managed to squeeze in a good tip or two. I'll do the next report for $6.95 since you've already paid for one. If you provide more details on the new site, I'm sure I could produce a much more helpful report, since with DB I was simply given the site URL Indeed, if you would have given me more information about the forum, that would have helped. I'm still puzzled as to why so many users signed up without posting a single post (even if those were spam posts, they should have all had at least 1 post!), but I guess you know the reason for that.

That is actually very rude, like walking into a shop and saying I can't be bothered to look around what do you sell .......
I take feedback very seriously, and appreciate your comment. To answer it, this is exactly why I divided the thread into a Q&A for easy skimming see above in the "What exactly am I getting here?" part, here is a quote from it, some of which is actually in bold: In other words, I write a 500+ word report packed with tips for improving your online business, based on my 7+ years of experience running online businesses, copywriting, website analysis and all other aspects of it. You don't pay in advance, and you don't even have to pay if you're not satisfied AND if you're not confident my report can help your online business! Thank you very much again for the feedback! Adi Friedman Two Believers.
You're welcome hostbidder, thanks for the itrader & feedback, itrader left Next time I'll be sure to request more information when something is unclear, my apologies 010081 - I actually have even more extensive experience with affiliate programs than most other online businesses, I'm sure I could be of help there. Looking forward to hearing from you! Adi Friedman Two Believers.
Still looking for more projects. You have nothing to lose, since if you don't like my tips, you simply don't pay Can it get any better? Adi Friedman Two Believers.
Great, contacted you via PM! Price raised to a more adequate level - $19.95. Keep in mind, if you feel my tips are just "ok" or not good enough for you to pay $19.95, you can still pay $9.95 (or if you feel they're really that bad - just pay nothing). There's still nothing for you to lose! Adi Friedman Two Believers.
