Agenda Items:

1.  Creating Shared Content

2.  Introducing SMS

3.  Blog Email Settings

4.  Rant, Your Mission, Thanks

1.  Creating Shared Content - Concept: to create templates to use in all blog pages. From there, they can easily be “cloned” to be used in other blogs, with minimal tweaking.

Eventually, when all the template files and content are created and placed into a “dummy” Master Blog, fresh new blogs can easily and quickly be built by drawing from the existing series of templates.

Templates can be set to be shared or not.  For example, Phil has set the share setting to ON for the templates he created.  This means other ALG members have access to the templates.

2.  Introducing SMS - This new feature allows notification messages to be delivered to cell phones via text.

This is very powerful and cutting edge and provides multi-notification options.  Meaning, it can be set to send a text message to clients and you, if you desire.

An additional benefit of using SMS is the ability to integrate it with a Call Center for increased automation.  There are also various types of messages that can be sent – four for ALG
members and three for clients, at the present.

3.  Blog Email Settings - Went over the steps to setting up our lead or client blogs to email from, rather than using ALG.

In order to email notifications from a blog, a few steps have to be performed.

a.  Select or setup Lead Blog
b.  Select and associate a Client Blog with the Lead Blog
c.  Install SMTP plugin to the blog you are going to mail from
d.  Login to the blog’s Cpanel and establish an email address

Screenshots of the plugin setup interface were shown.

4.  Rant, Your Mission, Thanks -

a. Rant - Phil showed a screenshot of the windows and siding folks’ leads and earnings in the last three months.  In April alone they have sold more than $60k worth of leads!

This is pretty dramatic proof that the system works, so let’s work it!

c.  Thanks - Thanks for attending. See ya next week.

Agenda Items:

1. Introduction to Import
2. Importing Niches
3. Importing Blogs
4. Importing Clients
5. What’s Next, Thanks

1. Introduction to Import - Phil introduced and outlined the new feature he added to ALG – the ability to import data.

Members can now import Excel spreadsheets prefilled with the data required for the ALG system. This will be a massive timesaver, since it eliminates the previous requirement to hand enter all the data into ALG.

2. Importing Niches - Showed key steps involved in importing a spreadsheet with pre-filled niche info.

3. Importing Blogs - Went over the steps in importing a spreadsheet with blog info entered.

4. Importing Clients - Repeated the steps for importing client lists into the system.

Showed the three distinct spreadsheets, with the required fields that must be present for ALG to recognize and import the data.

He also mentioned that the system is set to overwrite an existing spreadsheet with any fresh upload. This means that members can quickly update their lists of niches, blogs andclients with a single click.

It ALSO means that all existing data can be lost if a blank or incomplete/corrupted spreadsheet is uploaded. Backup before fresh upload is highly recommended.

Phil also added a search function for leads. Currently, it searches through all existing leads lists. Phil was asked if he could make the search function niche-specific and he said he’dsee what he could do. More to follow on this.

4. What’s Next, Thanks -

a. What’s Next -
- Get your domains prepared
- Get your clients list prepared
- Get your niches list prepared
- Get your blogs list prepared
- Install Wordpress on domains
- Install the ALG WP-API plugin on blogs
- Schedule your 1 on 1 with Phil

b. Thanks - Thanks for attending. Till next week.

Agenda Items:

1.  The Plan

2.  Client Introduction

3.  Client Messages

4.  What’s Next, Thanks

1.  The Plan - Phil briefly reviewed this as a refresher, showing screenshots of the process.

2.  Client Introduction - Showed key steps of client email intro process. Showed screenshots of the key screens and settings users will see.

Distinguished between master list of pre-written, generic messages and the niche-specific ones we can drill down to.  Of course, those ultra-specific messages will still need to be
written, depending on the niche.  Only the generic ones are there now.

Also took us through the steps to select clients, messages and templates within ALG and the option to download a selected list and then “mail-merge” it within Word.  As previously discussed, this feature semi-automates the process of printing and physically mailing letters or postcards to prospective clients.

It does this in part by allowing templates with pre-configured field tags to be used, which enhances the built-in power of mail-merge.

3.  Client Messages - Went over the suggested technique we should take with approaching and making our case with prospective clients.

The main points to emphasize are:

a. Online Lead Generation - The low overhead, yet global (or local) audience.  Trackable, too

b. No Upfront Investment - Try our leads before you buy

c. The Web Is Only Gaining In Popularity - Lead gen will only increase as well

d. Cost Per Lead - We guarantee prices, unlike pretty much any other forms of advertising they’ve been doing

e. Current Economic Conditions - Time to get smart with your ad budget.  Don’t cower like your competetion, just use “smart marketing”.

The final step – if they haven’t already signed-on as a client by then – is to begin their trial leads campaign.  They only have one of two ways to go after that…

4.  What’s Next, Thanks – Don’t forget, meeting now an hour later at 5PM EST / 2PM PST

a.  What’s Next - A brief reiteration of the next steps mentioned in prior meetings for getting ready for clients.

He still wants to work with each of us one on one to get up and running. That will be very soon.

Do some research of niche products you are interested in offering to leads on the backend. Phil will help all of us link everything together to ALG if we get this part done!

b.  Thanks - Thanks to all for attending. See ya next week!

Agenda Items:

1.  Review

2.  Lead Rules

3.  The Process Part 2

4.  What’s Next, Thanks

1.  Review - Phil briefly reviewed the lead capture process as well as all the pieces that go into it.

2.  Lead Rules - Phil went in-depth into how Lead Rules work and how to set them for various functions.  Primarily zip code based, but also now has a State-specific setting. Showed screenshots of the key screens users will see.

3.  The Process Part 2 - The majority of the meeting consisted of a way we can develop passive income from niche blogs and Amazon products on the backend of lead capture.

He chose Amazon because of several Wordpress plugins that allow for on-the-fly product listings/links based on keywords, as well as the massive inventory of products in every conceivable niche/subniche.

He went over the product selection process, starting with a keyword search using the special Google operator: allintitle.  He suggested we should only select products with less than
10,000 results with an allintitle search but more than 500 total searches.

Search count can be assessed through various means, including the free Wordtracker service or the Adwords tools.

Showed a test blog he’s created for a barbeque grill.  Also showed some of the settings on the plugin he’s using to display the product listings from Amazon.

Also discussed the requirement to first get an advertising API from Amazon, or else you won’t get paid when someone buys from your link.

The purpose of all this work is to enable passive income from any leads we capture for a specific niche, by presenting them first with the option to tell us what other niches or products
they are interested in.  Once they identify additional areas of interest, we can later direct them to our passive product blogs or blog pages.

Agenda Items:

1.  The Process

2.  Tracking Update

3.  Forms

4.  Phil’s Rant, Quiz, Thanks

1.  The Process – Phil went in-depth into niches, blogs and lead pages.  He clarified the differences in the various settings within ALG that affect the display and functionality of each of
the three.

He showed and explained the Blog Forms Manager screens for both ALL blogs as well as the list of forms specific to individual blogs.

He showed and explained the lead capture configuration and auto-distribution settings for trial leads.

2.  Tracking Update - Phil explained how he has updated the tracking feature in ALG.  It now allows for split testing of pages and forms.

The tracking display screen automatically lists the pages and forms in the best to least-best performing order, top to bottom.

This feature should help all of us quickly and automatically determine which lead capture page or form converts best, so we can maximize lead capture while minimizing cost per acquisition.

3.  Forms - Showed various screenshots of the key settings within the Form Manager and explained what they do.

He explained how the forms are synchronized between the WP Forms plugin and the ALG system.

Also covered the requirement to ensure you manually select the “Show In Widget” tickbox in WP Forms Manager in order to use the new feature to display a form.  If you don’t tick the box, the form won’t display in a widget.

He also explained and showed a demo of the Widget screen within Wordpress and what an activated forms widget looks like on a blog capture page.

4.  Phil’s Rant, Quiz, Thanks –

a.  Phil’s Rant - A brief reiteration of the next steps mentioned in prior meetings.  He’s still intending to work with each of us one on one to get up and running. That will be very
soon.

He also mentioned that very soon we will be able to import any existing Wordpress blog into ALG and also be able to customize and manage any theme, as well!

b.  Quiz - A quick three question quiz was given and answers provided regarding the settings for Niche, Client and Auto-Distribute features covered previously in the meeting.

c.  Thanks - Thanks to all for attending. See ya next week!
