How to Network by Buying and Reviewing products

the_covers

Things have been busy in the world of Jade. I finished NEIS – an intensive two month business program. I’ve been working madly towards the launch of Social Media Solutions, preparing for my Sydney trip to Connect Now and frantically trying to get my life back in order.

The awesome news is that, amongst all the craziness of the past two months, I’ve managed to finish the new edition of the Guest Post Mini Guide. I’m working with my business partner, Bill Journee, on these and I’m so proud of how they look. My last attempt at a product was in response to Dave Navarro’s product in a day challenge and was a very basic PDF. The new version has been properly designed, edited and updated to include new information from my latest guest post Marathon.

We are planning to launch the complete course in a month, after the conference. There will be three additional guides:

  • The Affiliate Mini Guide
  • The Blog Commenting Mini Guide
  • The Twitter Mini Guide.

You may be wondering what does the blog title have to do with my e-course?

The Affiliate Mini Guide – Yours for FREE

Part of the launch for Social Media Solutions was to create a guide to help our affiliates. As usual, we went kinda overboard and created a smaller version of our mini guides to thank those who took the initiative to support us.

Some of the content will be boring to many of you as I had to cover the basics. I also covered some of the advanced networking techniques I use.

You can download it here. As usual, I’d love to know your thoughts in the comments.

Last chance to get the course for over 50 percent off

I was originally planning to launch in February but life happened. Our first priority is getting the  business site up and going before Connect Now. We’ve pushed back to late April and will primarily be promoting  the course through guest posts.

If you are interested in a guest post, hit me up via twitter or the comments. I’m also interested in interview  opportunities especially via scary mediums like Skype!

You can buy the standalone guide for $20 by clicking here. You’ll get the remaining guides upon the full launch and will save $27.

We also have an option to get two free consulting emails on top of the guide. This is more expensive at $77 but is still cheaper than our consulting rate. Click here to get the premium package.

A quick thanks

I just wanted to thank you guys for supporting my blog and my business during the past few months. I have received a huge amount of support via email, twitter and facebook. It has meant so much and has made the stresses so worth it.

I do want to extend a special thanks to Ali Hale and Bill. Ali has been an amazing support and it has been an honour to be friends with her. I also don’t think our business wouldn’t be as awesome as it is without Bill and I am so grateful for how much he has helped me over the past year. :-) If you want two genuinely brilliant people to hit up on twitter, follow @alihale or @mr_billiam.

  1. Aww, thanks Jade! Hey, I'm really glad to have you as a friend, too — your generosity and kindness is a real inspiration.

    I loved the Guest Posting Mini Guide, and am really looking forward to seeing the others. :-D

  2. Awesome! Looking forward to getting the guides!

    Do I need to do anything proactive or will my preorder from a couple months back automate everything for me?

  3. I only ever judge books by their cover, so those look great ;-)

  4. Bill will love you :-) I love the Covers he did. I was skeptical at first but we worked on them and slowly, they developed into the awesomeness you see now. I can't wait til we can create new products just so we can make something else pretty.

  5. :-) While we are being hugs and puppies you should totally hook up with Bill (@mr_billiam). He's all kinds of awesome. I totally owe you a favour once all the craziness dies down.

  6. I'm sure it will be automated but we may need to stuff around a bit to figure out how to do that :-) We'll do this way before the release though. And in response to your tweet – I'll totally be able to do a guest post or interview! You'll also be glad to know I'm doing a long chapter on twitter landing pages which is being written at the moment.

  7. I haven't started reading the affiliate guide yet, but first impressions, I've got to say, presentation wise, it looks ****ing awesome.

  8. :-) Bill (my biz partner and design-geek) read this before I did and said that all he has to do is come over to my blog to get an ego boost. Thanks for the comment. Bill is kinda awesome at making stuff, in my words, pretty.

    We may release an updated version of the affiliate guide based on feedback. I do know its helped a number of my friends understand the concept and has introduced them to new ideas. In Sydney last week, Iggy Pintado kept on reminding me to say recommendation instead of review based on the info I gave in that guide. He remembered my own work better than I did!

    So glad you liked it :-)

  9. There's nothing that pisses me off more than an eBook where the creator can't even be bothered to change the font from Times New Roman and just hits publish in Word. Make me feel like what I'm paying for was created with love (yeah yeah I know it's about the content people).

    Your eBooks tick another massive box in my book – layout. Side bars, highlighted sections, indented quotes – it's the same principle as making web pages scannable, and just makes me want to read em …

  10. Hey Jade, Just got a chance to read this eBook – fantastic content , really spot on!! Well done to Bill, terrific design, sweet!

  11. I think I bought the guest post thing for like, 8 bucks or something. Got in early to get the whole suite. What a deal!

    The circles are very nice. I see triangles in my near future. And stars.
