Clickbank Pirate – Why it lets you focus
By admin | August 3, 2009
Focus whether in catching fish if you are a turtle or in building your business is extremely important.
When the turtles get their treat and I break down and get some feeder fish it becomes very interesting to say the least. Throw 16 feeder fish and they get in an uproar.
The first few minutes they get very frustrated because they do not focus on what is going on. With 16 fish floating through they start after one, then another catches their eye, then another and another. That is great for the fish and bad for the turtles,
The turtles never remember the lessons from the last snack so they end up going through this each time. After about 5 minutes though the light must pop on. All of a sudden the turtles get a purpose and once they start after one fish they keep going.
When the focus starts a new fish can run into them and they do not react. They have become like a smart bomb – locked on to that one target and following it where ever it goes.
Once the focus starts the fish start to decline rapidly.At this point it has been a half hour and the fish are all gone.
How does this effect your business.
Quite often you are just like the turtles when the fish are first added. Chasing one, then another , then another. Each shiny object draws you in and just about the time you might have success with one another draws your attention and you go off in a different direction.
Take building a pre-sell system to sell a specific affiliate product. You need the following to do it the right way.
- A squeeze page with an ethical bribe that converts
- A follow up series that pre-sells the product
- Targeted traffic to your squeeze page
- To test and tweak the process until it converts well
Actually you never quite stop the last part as you will always be testing and tweaking.
Clickbank Pirate has put together all of the pieces except the traffic. They have created the squeeze pages, the follow up series then they test and tweak the systems on an ongoing basis.
All you need to do is drive targeted traffic and they have even included lessons to help you do just that. This allows you to focus on just one thing to generate sales – you drive traffic. You become focused on just the one fish like the turtles do and you will be successful too.
Clickbank Pirate launches August 4th at 10 am but you can get a half hour head start and two great reports by getting on the pre-launch list.

CB Priate is going to level the playing field for a lot of affiliates, espeially those already working hard at it but not seeing the results they deserve. For those willing to put forth that effort and work hard at what they do, this system will shorten the learning curve drastically and give them a simple, stright-forward path to follow.

Mike,
Great analogy that afflicts a LOT of newbies in the IM biz…
Once they settle down and have a system that works, the next shiny object that comes along doesn’t affect them the least bit.
Keep up the turtlologies.

Very true, and very important! I lacked focus for a while when I just started out, which lead to not a lot being completed. Targeted focused work is how you get things done and completed.

Having been one of those who likes shiny things I understand that process all so well. Focus is the key and not multi-focus. Do one thing first then another. A tough lesson to learn and in some cases it can be an expensive one. Thanks turtles for another lesson may you get more fish to eat. Looking forward to seeing what Clickbank Pirate will do.

That’s a lot for Clickbank Pirate to put together for its users. Driving targeted traffic will still require focus but having some of the other stuff done for you will certainly make staying focus on traffic a lot easier. Sounds like something that should definitely be check out tomorrow.

Great lesson the turtles are teaching today.
Focus is probably the number one issue that everyone has when first getting started and some people can just never get to the point where they are able to focus on that one thing until they get it right.
Clickbank Pirate should definitely help a lot of people. It’s nice when you only have to worry about one thing (traffic) and can leave the rest of the work to someone else.
Thanks for ‘focusing’ on this issue.
