I have been stunned by the results of VWD’s recent launch of their ‘Viral’ site.

12,000 new members in under 30 days is not too shabby!

This one page includes a very short teaser video with some pretty ‘generic’ text discussing a huge market and encouraging visitors to opt in for more information.

I was watching some Frank Kern stuff the other day, about the ‘triangle of trust’ and the power of video on blogs and I think he made a real important point:

Video holds a relatively high ‘preceived value’ to website visitors, especially on a blog.

Frank talked about the blog being a fairly ‘non threatening’ environment. ie. it’s not perceived as something that will sell you something (like a sales page does)

So, maybe, it’s the video on this viral page that’s made all these people opt in…

Of course, once you have opted in, you get the info and all the ’social, tell a friend and bookmark tools’ to help get the word out about the site… I wonder though whether it’s those that’s driving the traffic to the viral page, numbers on the inside suggest the social tools are doing very well, especially for those just starting out on the net.

Anyway… here’s the page that’s creating all those members: http://stacktheodds.net/free what do you think?

VWD have just launched their much anticipated ‘Viral Marketing System’ to the affiliates on their network, and it’s proving to be a hit with the 200,000 current members of the website.

VWD dropped the £9.99 joining fee allowing affiliates to join the program for Free. This is great news for both new and more experienced affiliates and sets VWD up for explosive growth over the coming months. New affiliates get a 100% free, zero risk, online presence with built in viral marketing system, more experienced affiliates can focus on assisting new affiliates with the growth of their networks.

VWD’s affiliate program is one of those rare cases where payments are made on 7 levels of affiliate activity, almost unique!

It’s going to be a fun-filled and inspirational day.

So, What kind of person would want to attend this kind of event?

Why should you go?

It gives you the opportunity to meet and be around like-minded people, to listen and learn from speakers who have not only achieved success and are sharing what they have learned but also from speakers who will be sharing universal principles that will help anybody who wants to learn to move on and do great things with their lives and businesses.

How will you benefit?

The workshop will help you focus on what you need to do right now to move your business on. It will also build your knowledge, your confidence and your motivation.

The event is about getting yourself away from the weekly pressure and daily grind so that you can focus on what you want in the future for yourself and your family. When was the last time you did that?

You have dreams and goals you want to achieve. The workshop will provide you with the knowledge, the confidence and the inspiration to go out and claim your own personal victory. How important is that to you?

We all realise that nobody starts out successful. There are doubts to deal with, fears to fight and confidence to build. None of these obstacles can be overcome while we sit at home, or work all hours. To change our lifestyle, we must often change the way we think.

Who Will Be There?

A lot of people like you! People who believe in the same things as you and are chasing similar dreams to yours and succeeding.

Plus there are the speakers. People who have risen to the top levels of success, faced with the same obstacles as you, with the same fears and doubts as you, will take the time to tell you how they succeeded. At the function they will give you insights and practical help on why and how to win through.

At the function the speakers will be inspiring, they will be humorous, they will be knowledgeable and they will be passing on that wisdom so that you can learn how to build the same level of success they enjoy……as long as you are there.

This is what makes our business so special – successful people taking time to teach others to succeed.

If you have any interest in attending, just let me know, catch me on Twitter, leave a comment or call me +44 (0)7890 343680

All the Best
