Here's what I found: ************************************************* Over all Quality ************************************************* The first thing I noticed when I opened up thefirst video was the stunning production quality. He used Camtasia Studio for the production, which is now the industry standard for creating high-quality screen capture video products. I also liked how Michael divided the Free Video's up by section, and then again by sub-section. For example, one video is all about the subject line, and then there are different parts of that video that each cover a certain area of crafting a killer subject line. Now let's move on to... ************************************************* THE ACTUAL VIDEOS ************************************************* Here's a brief summary of each video. Obviously it's impossible to list every single thing here, but I want you to get a feel for what each one covered, and how well it covered it.

You get to see a picture of Michael in his every day life, and he establishes his credibility right up front by talking about some of his successes online. He even provides proof of credibility by displaying two checks which prove that, when it comes to the subject of making money with email promos, he knows his stuff. This is a good lesson for anyone to get. When ever you're teaching people how to do something, it's good to establish your credibility up front, so that there's no doubt about whether or not you'requalified to talk about the subject. Most product developers either skip or minimize this step. VIDEO 2 - BEFORE YOU WRITE THE PROMO This video talks about some things that no other marketer has bothered to mention. You'll learn things like:

• The mindset you need in order to write an effective promotion
• The different tools you need before you get started
• How to keep your e-mails laser-focused
• How to create an outline that practicallywrites the email for you.

This was a fantastic video, and did a good job of kicking things off. VIDEO 3 - THE SUBJECT LINE I liked this video, because it talked about one of MY biggest weaknesses when it comes to writing e-mail promos... the subject line. The subject line is a confusing topic, because nobody's 100% sure what the best tactics are. Michael breaks it down, and reveals:

• The biggest secret for writing a subject line that makes people insanely curious.
• Techniques for personalizing the subject line.
• Mistakes to avoid when using personalization.

I was surprised to find that I was making some of the mistakes that Michael mentioned in this video, but now I know better.

VIDEO 5 - THE BODY COPY This is one of the "meatiest" portions of the course, because it reveals techniques that are not widely discussed on the forums, blogs, and in most e-Books.

• The secret of "bucket brigade copy" and how to use it in your e-mail promos to force people to keep reading.

VIDEO 6 - THE CALL TO ACTION This is where a lot of people wimp out in their e-mail promos. They start out strong, but when it comes time to ask the reader to click the link and take action, they don't know what to say. Michael talks about some of his favorite techniques for making that happen. He also reveals:

• The "magic question" to ask yourself that will make your close much more powerful.
• The secret of the "unanswered question" and why handling this is a surefire way to get people to act right away.
• The structure of a powerful close.
• Mistakes people make when creating their close.

VIDEO 7 - CREATING AN EFFECTIVE P.S. Some people say that the P.S. is one of the most important parts of the email, because it is often the one thing that gets people to click the link at the end. In this video, Michael talks about:

• Why you should including a P.S. at the end ofyour email.
• The 4 different kinds of P.S.'s you can use (this section was a real eye-opener for me).

VIDEO 8 - COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE I loved this video, because it showed me some mistakes that I was making that I wasn't even aware of. Unless you're a seasoned pro, you're probably guilty of some of the things that Michael talks about in this video as well, and that's why it's so valuable. I've shaved years off my learning curve, because now I can avoid some of the costly mistakes that I was bound tomake in the learning process.
