I’ve been a fan of yours since the conduit method and haven’t looked back.

Thanks for the education Chris. More valuable than I ever learnt at school.

Yes, it still works today. I didn’t invent the “method”. I just coined a term that describes a basic fundamental principle behind SEO:

* Specific long-tail content

And that works in just about any market with very few exceptions.

No, you can’t just go build a 3 page conduit site with the world’s most popular products and expect to make your first million.

But you CAN go into just about any market, profile as many products as you can, and see a consistent trickle of traffic and sales after you build up some web presence.

Once again… nothing has changed.

There’s a bit more competition these days - but there’s also a lot more products in just about any marketplace.

Moreover, it’s just one strategy among many.

And it is never something that I have EVER recommended on relying upon solely.

My teaching has *always* been to generate initial results with small tester sites, see what works well, and then build an actual business around that topic.

I’ve been saying that since “Confessions” and I’m saying it now.

That, also, will not be changing any time soon.

I’ve only discovered your blog yesterday, spent the good part of today reading it and have to say I am quite impressed. Not only with the simplicity of the textbook content but the integrity and the mind set you seem to have as a business man.

Refreshing, relevant and useful!

I’ve built a solid web presence based on my mortgage business and consider myself as an internet marketer who happens to market mortgages. I’d like to take what I have learned over the years online, and create a new funnel of business. Your stuff seems like it will fill in that missing bit.

I haven’t planned on buying the book, but based on the immensely valuable content I have gotten from you in your blog… I owe it to you AND I bet it will be more of the same; a high value treat!

Keep up the darn good work and I look forward to reading more and will share my successes in the affiliate world as they come.

Your reply to Jeremy (#15) came at just the right time for me, as it’s exactly where I’m at right now. Once something hits, I’ll be scaling up and then deciding which out of the markets that have proven themselves to me I want to “build my business” around.

I’m sure your next VIP report will come in handy there.

I’ll admit, I haven’t listened to the interview yet, but I know it’ll be worth it. I can’t believe you had complaints about it though…=/

My question was regarding Point 1 in the email talking about The Prevailing Belief That Only “New Stuff” is Effective. In your honest opinion, does the Conduit method still works today? (3 years after it was introduced by you) I just got my hands on the report a while back and noticed it was written back in 07.

So I’m really interested to find out about the issue of saturation here if you don’t mind. As I don’t want to waste copious amount of time building up sites only to realize its no longer workable.

Do hope you can enlighten me on this.

Thanks
Alex

My Fiance is not a firm believer in IM as she only has my lack of results as any kind of gauge, which means she is never really behind any efforts I make, which in turn, makes my time in trying to work on building a successful IM business very difficult. Always tutting, and saying it doesn’t work etc.

I am printing out this PDF and she is not going anywhere until she has read it this evening.

Hopefully, she will finally realise the possibilities.

Anyway, love your posts and loved the interview.

Cheers

Thank You for sharing this powerful message to us, I started IM with the only ebook I ever bought, your “Confessions Of A Lazy Super Affiliate”.

I once also looked at everything IM related as a scam, it’s funny since I come from a IT background and worked as a system analyst for years.

IM has a bad rep due to other online scams but to anyone who has spent just one day on a IM forum or that has spoken to genuine people, knows it’s as good of a deal as any other job in life.

Getting back to your interview, I have definitely identified myself in some character flaws that you guys spoke about but on a very positive note, I have really discovered a few good reasons why I still want to pursue this.

I started with a simple goal of making some money online but I actually enjoy the whole challenge of it, building websites and just being able to identify myself with such a cool job.

Once again, thank you immensely for putting yourself forward as a person, it really does make the whole difference.

This interview is going to be something which I will forever remind myself of.

Matt is a true inspiration and he has more sight then a lot of non blind people.

Our shortcomings and natural disadvantages hold us back only as much as we allow them to do so.

Thanks a bunch Chris

Well you’re right about one thing. You definitely shouldn’t “buy” into this.

THAT’S BECAUSE THERE’S NOTHING FOR SALE.

This is an actual interview.

And no, he didn’t have any money to begin with.

He had something called “determination”.

As in, he didn’t make excuses… like the one you just did:

“so the only way to succeed this way is having lots of money to outsource…”

Ironic.
