A couple of weeks ago I sent an email out to my mailing list.  I had been out of touch for almost a month due to personal reasons.  When I got back to my desk and my computer, there was a slew of emails about new product launches in my inbox.  Having been away for a month, I decided to sift through them and find the single one that I thought was most worth recommending to my readers.

I was actually quite surprised myself with the item I came up with to send as my top recommendation for the month.  It was not an overly-promoted product, and it was not what you would call one of the major product launches by any means.

But, I always recommend products that I am personally using (or in this case I was planning to use it soon) in my own business.  That is the only way that I know with 100% certainty that I can feel good about my recommendations.

The product was called PDF Popup Pro, and it is a simple little tool that I thought was just genius in what it could do for you!  I saw the potential for the product right away as a way to make ANY PDF that you distribute into a viral list-building machine.  It does this by allowing you to add an optin pop-up window that will open as soon as your reader opens the PDF.

But, my readers didn’t seem to “get it.”  At least, I am assuming that since only one person actually decided to start using it in his business.

Well, I have now actually USED PDF Popup Pro for the first time myself, and I wanted to show you just how easy it is and how much value it has added to a simple little product I created.

This product took me about an hour to create, and with PDF Popup Pro I suspect that it will become a major listbuilding item for me.

Here is ALL I did to quickly make my own custom product:

• First, I searched my hard drive for a suitable item that I had Private Label Rights to.  I found 50 PNG images of 3-dimensional dollar signs.  These had come from a graphics membership site that I am a member of.  They did not come with a sales letter, or cover graphic, but the graphics themselves are quite nice quality.  I chose to use these as my product because they would not take a lot of work for me to edit, and I have not seen these graphics around anywhere yet.  Since I haven’t seen them around, that tells me that they are a good candidate to make a product out of.

• Next, I created a box cover and very simple optin page for the item.  I decided to enter this item into a Giveaway event, so I did not even need a big sales page for it.  Here is what the Opt-in page and box cover look like.  That’s it!  That’s all the design work I had to do for this.  It is a very simple design, and I can guarantee that you have never seen that box cover before (because I just made it).  So, when I enter this item into the Giveaway, it will be a FRESH, NEW item that no one has come across before.

• Finally, I just put the PNG images into a zip file, along with a simple, one-page PDF explaining the customer’s Master Resell Rights.

That’s it - it was a one hour product!  Fresh, never seen before, and I am certain that it will get a lot of downloads when the Giveaway event opens tomorrow.

While it is great to create a product in an hour, this is the part that I am really excited about, and the part I want to make sure you understand…

Before finalizing my PDF file, I used PDF Popup Pro on it.  What this did was make it so that as soon as someone opens that tiny little PDF file explaining their Master Resell Rights,  they get an opt-in box saying:

“If you would like to receive a few other design related gifts, please enter your name and email address into the fields below”

and of course below that there is an optin form so they can join my mailing list.

Oh, and by the way…

In the rights file itself, I specifically tell the customer that if they are going to sell or give away the collection, they just have to include the PDF with it.

So do you see what has happened here?

First, I’ll give the product away (via the Giveaway event itself).  Then, the people who download it will start giving it away (or selling it).  Remember it is a fresh new product so they will very likely start making it available to other people right away.  Finally, whenever ANYONE who receives it opens the Rights PDF, they will get a pop-up window saying that if they join MY list they will receive other freebies.

It is the easiest viral marketing campaign I have ever done!

PDF Popup Pro took me all of about 3 minutes to use, and it turned a simple little product into a viral listbuilding machine!  It is that awesome!
