James Brausch

Here's a thread for this popular subject.

Andy,

not everyone knows who James Brausch is. Can you please provide a bit of deatial on who this is.

[jisern]

Take a look at his blog at www.jamesbrausch.com

He has written several programs for tasks like article submission, copywriting and other informational products. Many of the products and information he posts on his blog are based on statistical analysis.

How does he manage to write so much? He makes me feel lazy 

I can hardly keep pace reading it all. There must be ghost writers (fellow mormons involved surely?

Well I have been reading James Brausch 's posts on his blog for a while now and he really hates forums. Every other post he makes has an anti-forum comment in it. The reason is that he is from a background of a religious preacher and they only like one-way communication, like they are the authority and you should just shut up and learn from them.

I have tried hard on this forum to get his followers to post evidence that using his tools produce the promised back-links but nobody has come forward. You keep seeing plugs for Artemis pro etc. but no evidence that it works. Simple searches on MSN or Goole can reveal the effectiveness of these expensive tools. But nobody will post a link showing the incredible boost their site received.

I also read that James charged $10,000 per seat for people to attend one of his trainings. This is serious money.

IMHO his copyrighting sucks compared to marketing gurus. I say this since I paid money for eBooks from the marketing gurus sites yet his sites don't convert well IMHO. It's because they look amateurish (free tip).

Andy---

Here is the proof man... In less than 24 hours I have received several orders for a product I created and marketed using James' tools and techniques. If you notice those are paypal payment receipt emails (I blotted out the senders addresses for privacy reasons) and the email from your post is ahead of them.

He doesn't hate forums per say, it is just that there is *alot* of misinformation out there...

Cool!

This is the way to go with your own product. I am traditionally an affiliate marketer but I now have a several product ideas I am working on with my friends who can code in windows and present in public.

Well, I have found that James's blog is a breath of fresh air from the usual Marketing blurb. Over the last many weeks I have been eagerly awaiting new posts. Not all are great such as with any blog but many are very interesting. The latest subject was about customer service which James found was of least interest to his readers. But I found this to be one of the most useful topics so far. The reason being that I spend about 30minutes on each customer service email I receive and some customers email me almost daily.

So even if you work on minimum wage, these people can milk you for $4 each per day or something like $120 each per month. It's shocking isn't it? But I am provididing speacialist technical advice that is worth much more than $8 per hour, more like $100 per hour.

So it will come as no suprise that I jumped at the chance to buy James's automated customer service product as soon as it was launched. This product allows me to build a database of the frequently asked questions and steer people to the most likely suitable answer without me being in the loop. All I need to do is build the stock of answers to questions plus FAQ and as time goes by most of the questions will be automatically dealt with saving me hours of time.

Other things are automated too such as refund requests so I get to avoid the negativity associated with that too. You can check out this product here: sufaq.com

Wow Andy--- what a 180 turn from being a hater to buying his products. ;-)

That's not exactly right J...ames? I only, so far bought one product and never hated the guy. My comments on this thread still look justified to me.

btw I was concerned to read on his blog of an idea to perform statistical analysis on blog post topics and make software that scores it. What a ridiculous spammy idea 

[Andy]

I can't believe James is still slagging off forums still after attracting traffic from them for his new product since 43% of visitors are buyers apparently....

The new software product is one that dynamically tunes your sales page according to the results of actual sales. THis is the kind of thing you might do with split tests to see what version of a page worked best for sales conversions.

I have read reports before that suggest the fine line between success and failure on the web are down to the way you present your sales page. Huge differences in sales can result from very minor changes to your page.

A good example is the background color of a page. If you are selling something it has to be white and not something like beige for example. But then there are font sizes, paragraphs, dimensions of the content areas and guarantee or no guarantee plus price level etc.

So James's new software actually monitors results, scores your various sales page factors and tweaks them to maximise the sales conversion.

For a video on it click here - at least last time I looked there was. Maybe you can unravel the system yourself?

Anyway, here are the links (that I can find) to millionaire Jame's products (as you know I bought his product after being a sceptic so I must humbly post these links here in grateful admonishion):

http://clicksafe.glyphius.hop.clickbank.net/ - this is the software that optimizes your titles in your ads and web page titles etc.

Well, I bought James's book about internet business at a big discount after promising to do a spell check. I thought I should get it since it will show me what a book delivered from an online printer is like and I can then consider my own printed book product. Hopefully the content is of some use too 

I really like the idea of publishing a book.

Before this I only bought one of his products but I am sure it is going to repay itself many times over. It was the customer service automation software.

Here is the page that I deployed it at: http://www.sitesugu.com/support/

This software learns the questions and answers them more accurately over time to save you needing any customer support staff. It was a must-have product for me since I can't stand offering telephone support to every customer. Click on the about link to buy this low cost software and avoid dealing with all your customers direct 24/7.

Today I received the first printed book by this marketing guru. "The Internet Business Book" I promised to review it for errors and spelling mistakes since the author is making a loss on this review offer.

Spelling: TV should be T.V. and BTW should be B.T.W. to be consistent with J.O.B. 

That's the spelling check done, onto the review...

Cheap paper, the glue way too thick for my liking that bonded the spine of the book. The packaging used for shipment was great though!

There was an annoying margin across the top of the front cover graphic. This unsettled me before I started to read the book.

The content of the book is very similar to the blog posts (possibly a cut and paste).

A big criticism for me though is the lack of an index! So I can't easily refer back to material in the book as I get my lightbulb moments. There is however a blank sheet at the back of the book where you can record notes of things you want to refer back to.
