$15,000 in 24 Hours with Our SendUsTo.US Firesale

This must be the biggest project I’ve done to date, and it really paid off. $15,000 in sales for the first 24 hours, with 6 days to go.

Our target is about 1,500 sales, which should be enough to get us to San Francisco for WIME come September 2007.

If you haven’t purchase the “Musketeer Package” yet, as I’m writing this you have about 4 days left. You’ll get 100 high-quality products, all with resell rights, that you can also resell to others and keep 100% of any price your charge.

Get it here: www.sendusto.us

But the results could have been better if not for some server problems we had in the first hour. Although we were prepared, the amount of traffic exceeded our expectations and in the end our TWO dedicated servers chocked, suffocated and died.

I met up with Vince and Melvin at my home to celebrate, joined by Khai and Edmund. Only Vince and me were on the PC at launch time, and a couple of affiliates had already accidentally promoted earlier.

Our celebrations turned to panic when the servers went down barely minutes after the first sale came in, and let me tell you when that happens all you can do is contact your hosting support guys, and pray that the nightmare ends soon.

Hopefully for us it did end pretty soon, and even with the slow moving servers we managed about 30-40 sales in the first 2 hours. Vince had programmed his MS Outlook to play a “ka-ching” sound when each sales notification came in.

So when we finally relaxed and got to dinner at about 10.30pm, we continued to hear ‘Ka-Ching” every 3 minutes.

The next day I managed to edit the salescopy and increase the conversion rate from 2.35% to 5.6%, which meant that although we were getting less traffic on that day, we still managed to equal the amount of sales on the first day.

Then yesterday, I managed to increase the conversion to 7.89% and to tell you the truth I was shocked to be able to bump it up that high. Some JV partners like Ian Del Carmen and John Delavera started offering some crazy bonuses too, so that bumped up our sales again.

We’re hoping to go the distance and achieve 1,500 sales by the time the firesale is over. On day 1 we were quite skeptical of this target, but now it looks like within reach.

As I’m writing this we’re closer to 900 sales, which is about $33,300 or more.

Get it here till August 1: www.sendusto.us

Congrats! It’s like you are going to win this “challenge”. So many people so shock with this firesale including me. The healthy competition between affiliate marketers also hot. My mailbox full with your affiliates message.LOL.

Hi Gobala, I bought a copy from you guys. Can;t wait to red all this nice products. Can I give to others for free instead of Resell it? If good thing, we share it @ no cost. How do you think? Will it spoil your market?

Not a good idea. Every product comes with it’s own terms and conditions, most of which prohibit you from giving it away for free. I know you’re in Malaysia but still :)

Gobala, I think you really ruin your reputation by offering 100 pieces of junks. I believe you try to imitate Patric Chan’s Life Challenge Sale. But unlike Patric’s sale which really do include a lot of top quality products which he really are selling online for the price mentioned. Most of your 100 products all useless products floating in the market, many of them you can even get it for free. That is why you don’t see any name mentioned in most of the products. This sale will only trick Internet Marketing newbies who hasn’t been around long enough to know the difference between quality and rubbish.
I wouldn’t spend even $1 for all the 100 products.

Sorry, I beg to differ. Here’s an example of “crap” that I paid $37 for and made over $700 from, and still sells today:

In fact I sold 3 copies while the sale was live.

That product is included in the SendUsToUS firesale. Like I said in the salescopy, you just may end up paying more for a single product somewhere else than what the entire package is selling for.

Everything is crap in the hands of someone who doesn’t recognize the value :)

But still, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Yes, I agree with Gobala’s point of view and I want to highlight this as well:

For everything you do, certainly you will have someone come from nowhere will go against you. You can’t be pleased everyone on what you are doing.

Certainly, I don’t blame for these competitors who are anger for NOT able to come out with their own event like this and yet still trying to mourn and blame others who made it.

You’re right, “crap” can be a “gold” for certain people (like you), but not for all, and not for newbie as well. You can sell a lot of crap stuffs to newbies, and one day they will realize that these are craps.

I used to be that “stupid newbie” who bought many “craps” and spent a lot of efforts and times believing that I will earn money from it, but the actual result is a big “NO”.

The most easiest money to earn is to “teach people how to earn money” and every day there are a lot newbie looking for ways to earn easy money.

Gobala, I respected you once when I saw your ebook on guiding Malaysian to withdraw money from Paypal, but now you totally lost the respect from me (you might not care though) when you launched the “SendUsToUS”… For me, you are one of those who are just trying to earn money from newbie by promoting rubbish to them.

Yes, you earn that “big” money, and yes, you can go to US, and yes, there will be a lot people here wasting their hard-earned money for your US trip and of course, you can keep saying:

“Everything is crap in the hands of someone who doesn’t recognize the value.”

to make them shut up.

Again, Melvin, Gobala & Vince, well done! It’s time to take the newbies’ hard-earned money and give them a lesson on how to differentiate a rubbish and a gold. Thanks for your efforts! Hopes you will have a great US trip.

Well, I guess you can’t make everyone happy.

Just because you don’t know how to make use of them, doesn’t mean it’s rubbish :)

Besides, I think the point of buying a firesale such as this is not to own every product being offered, but to get your hands on the select few that you need at a cheaper price with convenience. BTW, “convenience” cost money too.

People may say that this firesale is an “imitation” of Patric’s Live Challenge, but come to think of it, isn’t everyone imitating each other? So I really don’t see the point of that particular argument.

And BTW, it’s not an imitation of Patric’s sale. The concept has been tried and tested by many people inc Mike Filsaime, Willie Crawford (wedding firesale).

Comment by Rakawi Ling
2007-08-02 10:42:07

Yeah, that’s what I meant. I only used the phrase imitating because that’s what David wrote. There’s really not that many “new” things around imo. Even Mike Filsaime’s Butterfly Marketing concept has been around long before he launched the official product. It’s really what you do with what you know :D

Hi Gobala,

Tks for the Tips on Selling PLR products.
Where can I get the latest Master Resell rights products that I can sell?

How do you know which products that are sellable?

Maybe can you do a case study how to market this resell rights products.

Tks
Haz

I don’t understand why people are not happy when others making money. My advice is, learn how to make money online rather than talking unhappy things.

Aiyo Goba, you shouldn’t have announced your huge profits. There are bound to be green-eyed monsters out there who will respond negatively out of sheer jealousy, if nothing else. Expect more brickbats - but i know you are made of sterner stuff, ya?! Let them scorn while you enjoy your trip to the US.

Keep up the good work, dude. And stay on the narrow path. :o)

Well Done, Gobala for your firesale success. There is a hidden lesson in this. Guess, networking with the Big Guns sure have its advantages (not to mention gigantic lists)…hehehe. 8)

Take the positives. Discard the negatives.

Great job and well done. Can you share with us a bit of the technical background of your sendusto.us site? Which software you used and if you can recommend it and which hosting company you would recommend after your experience?
Your are a great inspiration,
Chris

Hye, gobala..

since i have bought your firesale exposed yesterday and read it one by one. I still wonder.. It’s it guarantee if i only have a salesletter, and a thank you page and download page without use a JV Fants2 or Butterfly marketing? Coz i have a tight budget. I know you have give the answer in that book but it make me unsure about the firesale success if without use JV and butterly as a platform. Hope you don’t mind to answer me…
