One Week Makreting Plan Review
One Week Marketing is a guide on how to make money on the Internet by using only the free services and tools available. I bought this product back on Mar. 2009, and I have applied it and used it over and over and I believe I have enough experience with one week marketing to give an outstanding review about it.
Description:
First the guide comes in 5 components + an upgrade: the guide itself, a mind map, an action plan, a check list, and a conversation with Nick (a case study where the author helps a student through the process). When I say the material is well written I don’t mean it from a Shakespearean way. It is well written in a sense that every one can read and understand what is written.
The Guide describes the process of building a campaign in one-week’s time starting from scratch and with no money, which is good because it opens the door for every one to make money online regardless of how much the budget is. With each step there is a detailed description of how to do it and illustrated with diagrams and screen shots.
The mind map summarizes the whole process in a diagram to help you focus and not omit any of the necessary steps.
The action plan is a file that you can use for applying the guide for each campaign so that you have a documentation for what you did in each campaign. It goes like this: Day 1: do this and this and that, and you have a space to write down what you have done. This way you have a reference to go back to in case you need to tweak your campaign a way or another. It also helps you stay focused.
The checklist is, well.. a checklist, again so that after you finish a campaign you can make sure you didn’t forget anything.
Conversation with nick is a case study, where Jennifer (the author) guides Nick (a guy from a forum) who started applying her instructions and she helped him fine tune his campaign so that it became profitable even before the campaign was all done.
Evaluation:
Before I get to the evaluation I’d like to note that after I bought one week marketing and went through it, I started applying it on a two test campaigns. One of the campaigns was 15% complete, and the other one was just a squidoo lens with a couple of back links to it. At the time of writing this article those unfinished campaigns are still unfinished and are both making me money. Together they made me a bit over $150 in a year’s time. Imagine of those campaigns were 100% complete. Imagine also how would you be making if you have 10, 20, or 30 of those campaigns?
Since I already have a business to run I didn’t have time to finish those or expand on that business model. So they’ll stay as they are until further notice.
Also, I have to mention here that I started two more campaigns (and never finished) almost a year ago that made me nothing so far. It could be because I didn’t finish them or because they need some more tweaking.
Update March 2012: One of the unfinished-unproductive campaigns got deleted due to some political issues, so I copied and pasted it somewhere else (still for free) and made the necessary changes in about 10 minutes. This campaign made me $78 last month and $44 this month so far. So it works and I think it’s worth finishing.
Overall, One Week Marketing is a great product. The basics are covered, the methods are proven to work time and time again, and the plan is crystal clear. You can’t buy it and get lost because you don’t understand it or because it’s too hard to apply.
Still this product is not for every one. The main activity you’ll be doing applying one week marketing is to write, keep writing, and do some more writing.
The good news is that you don’t have to be a great writer in order to benefit from the guide. If you can write an email to someone in English, then you qualify.
The course doesn’t cover how to pick a good niche to do your marketing around. It helps you in choosing the product though.
So, if you use my website for help in market research, combine that with one-week-marketing and you are good to go.
NOTE: Jennifer will send you a keyword research guide separately after your purchase as a bonus.
One great advantage that one week marketing has over the competition is that unlike most of the “make money online” products Jennifer (the author) is a real person. You get to email her and she will reply back, see her videos on her website, and she floods her readers with free information and guides that are worth several times what you paid for the course.
Drawback:
One thing is that it involves a lot of writing as mentioned above. But there is one more thing to keep in mind if you want to build a business.
One week marketing is a good method to make money online, but not to build a business. The author acknowledges that in the guide. She says that this is how to start, and once you find a profitable campaign that deserves to be expanded upon you should start investing some of your earnings in building a business around it.
A business can only be built on what you can control. Your website, your paid traffic … etc. Anything that you get for free is good to use but not good to build a business around it simply because you don’t control it. You can only cantrol what you pay for and own.
Recommendation:
If you are able to write an email in English and can take at least 10 hours of your time every week to work on your one-week-marketing projects, then go for it.
