Today we have the fourth in a series of four articles by Craig Ballantyne - focused on building to a $100K income in 12 months
Your 12 month plan culminates in a final “year end launch” where we hope you’ll finally breakthrough the $100K barrier.

$100K in 12 Months – The Launch
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Let’s take a closer look at:
Months 10-12
1) The Product Launch
As mentioned in the last lesson, you’ll have recruited all of your affiliates for a 3-day launch. Now outlining a complete product launch will take more than a couple of paragraphs in this email, so we’ll have to save that for another day.
However, the basics are that you want to have:
– An incredible offer
– Built up anticipation
– Affiliates forming a “unified front” and all ready to mail at once
– Incentives for affiliates to mail at least three times (could be extra bonus commissions or a cash prize for your top affiliates)
– High converting upsells to maximize your average transaction
– Extreme value so your customers are happy
– A plan to provide more value to your customers in the weeks after so that you maximize revenues
Simply having this “3-day launch” system in place with a couple of big affiliates could help you earn 6-figures in just a few months.
It’s powerful, powerful stuff.
2) Plan Your Recurring Revenue Product
While there really isn’t a way to “make money on autopilot without any work at all”, having a product line that enables a guaranteed sale each month is a great way to add stability to your business.
For example, let’s say you have a business that offers gift baskets online. If you can encourage your customers to join your “Gift Basket of the Month” program, where they are automatically charged each month for the basket you send out, then you’ll have almost
guaranteed income each month – of course you’ll have to plan for customer drop-off…but you’ll be working hard to get new clients each month as well.
You can create monthly programs for all businesses, and it is quite easy if you are selling information, like I do by providing my clients with a new workout each month.
The key of course, as with EVERY aspect of your online business, is to be providing extreme value for your customer’s investment.

And so this wraps up your “$100K in 12 Months” program, and I want to leave you with the following checklist that you’ll need in place in order to achieve your goals.
If anything is missing from this list, go back and make it your top priority to check it off, and you’ll be another step closer to achieving financial freedom and Internet Independence.
