Glad I’m in a “quiet” non-IM market, because those 2 new videos make my Camtasia stuff look prehistoric
July 3rd, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Excellent videos!
The second video, after the opt in, is simple… but SO powerful.
You’ve pointed out a major weakness in the businesses of most internet marketers… I think it will really hit home.

Brian

Brilliant,
You are #1 John, nobody produces better content than you.
July 3rd, 2008 at 7:13 pm
Amazing videos!
John, which company do you use to produce your videos? We’re in desperate need of something similar for our non-IM niche.

STRANGE VIDEOS !!
Great tips,
but……
The style of video seems a bit strange to me, as he is standing infront of large screens. It is clever but just looks strange. John seems like a robot and doesn’t blend in with the backgrounds.
He would have been better off doing camtasea videos like he did on the Reese report or TS1,
It looks like John is speaking from a deserted planet/ mars, and looks unrealistic. sorry but all criticism should be expressed, sorry John !
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:49 pm
John,
Excellent production values on these first two
promo videos. You’re definitely stepping up
the bar for everybody else in this market.
Most $5,000 programs didn’t invest the time
and money in such appealing promo videos.
(And you’ve out-done them for a sub-$500
program. Definitely starting a shift in buying
expectations.)
Thanks - you already have my order.

The content is brilliant!
I do understand where Edward is coming from. The keying (of you) is too harsh from the background. In a natural environment you would be a bit softer. Perhaps have your graphics guys slightly soften your edges and you should blend better with the background and try to match the lighting of the background to your lighting. Another option is to go with a solid background like Eben Pagan did in his recent Guru Mastermind preview videos.
My production 2 cents
Still it doesn’t matter much, the content is wicked! Well done!
Bobby
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:15 pm
I enjoyed the great videos, very professional John, but where is your buddy the “deadfish”?
Keep up the good work
Jay
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:39 pm
Great videos
Thanks John,
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Bobby quote “Still it doesn’t matter much, the content is wicked! Well done!”
Actually it does matter, whats the point of spending so much money and time into something to get a crap/ugly looking video?..
MORE CRITISISM: when he keeps moving his hands around, it looks funny lol. Like he is handling an invisible crystal ball lol.
and on Video 2 he states an example of “tips on how to put on shoes” at time 14.40 - How can there be any tips on putting on shoes? you simply just PUT THEM ON, end of task! that made me laugh.
July 3rd, 2008 at 11:40 pm
Great videos. Actually, Edward might have have given you a good idea for the next series, shoot it from Mars
Thanks for the free content and happy to see that it will be an affordable price this time.
See you at the launch,
Cheers,
Phil

Wow, crazy videos.
It definitely is UNIQUE, and maybe that was his intent.
I only wonder why he never smiles (but I’m sure there are some split tests even behind that…)
However - great style (look at those clothes - that’s what I call taste).
Really looking forward to TS2. Heard so much about the original TS. Thanks John for sharing all this.
July 4th, 2008 at 1:33 am
just watching the videos… seems REVERSE ENGINEERING is extremely powerful. (not surprising - look at China, the biggest economic miracle in recent years, and it’s a lot about reverse engineering).
haha, look at that: somebody already registered RESULTSDETECTION.com just NOW! (July 3rd). Smart move.
July 4th, 2008 at 2:14 am
Hello John, I am not that much lucky as everyone.
I have been sitting here waiting to watch the videos till morning. It’s over 3-4 hours now, still I am in no luck. I wasn’t able to load over 20% of the videos until now. Everytime it loads and by around 15-20% it gets stuck, and then i have to load it all over again. I wish the videos are short sized. I am from India with a 256kbps broadband. Anyways i am still trying…
July 4th, 2008 at 2:24 am
Actually what stood out for me in these videos was John’s warmer seeming style.
I’m not a ‘follower’ of John’s per say - its more by association via Ed Dale.
I just compare his style in the Undies DVD series, and then also having seen him live once - to these video’s - and the likability factor is way higher for me as a prospect.
Also the content was there for me - I felt as if I was being offered some real workable tips - as opposed to just teasers - as I could take those and work on them myself and get started.
So for me as a prospect - the ‘harsh edges’ of the filming and such were not a factor in my feelings whilst viewing them.
As I make my decisions based on:
a) Perceived quality and depth of content
b) Likability of the presenter/expert.
As for us all - that is just one opinion
I look forward to the ongoing series unfolding
Caro
PS: Another thing I loved is that they didn’t go on for too long - I find that I just can’t make myself watch those other video’s respected IMers make that go on for ever and ever - my attention span is not sedentary enough to allow it
July 4th, 2008 at 3:04 am
May be a great video but I am unlucky enough not be able watch the same. Credit for this goes to my ultra slow internet connection. Anyway I use MuVar for improving my chances of sales letter. I will try to watch video on broadband of my friend.
July 4th, 2008 at 3:43 am
I can’t believe the amount of negative posts on this blog.
First the price is so great that people are desperately looking around for a hidden agenda that’s gonna suck thousands of dollars out of their accounts, and now the new videos are getting slammed.
I thought they looked great, and really set a new level of excellence that everything else will be judged by (but then again, I wasn’t sat here with a magnifying glass looking to see how well John’s outline blended in with Mars - good grief).
July 4th, 2008 at 5:11 am
A big thank you John for sharing your insights. Reverse engineering/modeling is definitely a powerful way to cut short learning curve and get the results I want. Thank you for the reminder.
I hope in TS 2.0 you cover more specific technical details for non-techy people like me.
Cheers.
July 4th, 2008 at 6:20 am
Well, I just watched the videos, and I think they were awesome. The content was great. Some of it I had heard before no doubt, but I liked the way how John presents them in a new way. It made me think, and that’s a good thing. Plus I did get plenty of new ideas.
John, have you heard about “Site Build It?” It ties in remarkably well with what you have to say in your second video.
As for the background that so many have been complaining about, I found it cool. The colors could have been better at some places, but overall, I loved it.
July 4th, 2008 at 6:26 am
lol, finally the vids have rolled out.. just went thru them al, and it is quite big.. have to wait for them to load before can view it…
Opted in for the second, and its better..
cool, cant wait for this to come out
July 4th, 2008 at 6:36 am
After watching your videos, John, even if I have no money, I would still borrow 400 bucks to buy it.
Can’t wait for this….
One question, is this limited? I mean are you going to stop selling this when it reaches a point?
Thanks
July 4th, 2008 at 7:03 am
Personally I loved the videos, both their content and visuals. Was actually surprised to read some people didn’t, but to each their own I guess.
I did notice the autoresponder was quite slow in sending me my ‘welcome’ message, but I eventually received it.
T’would also be cool if the affiliate tools included graphics, banners, and other such ads we could use. I would have whipped up one myself but I don’t know what the package looks like and didn’t want to misrepresent by rehashing an old TS1 graphic.
I’m looking forward to Traffic Secrets 2 and will stay tuned for future updates.
Congrats on a successful launch!
July 4th, 2008 at 8:04 am
Hhhmmm…
I somehow never got the first video and was only able to view the second. Not quite sure how that happened. Reading the posts here it seems everyone has viewed 2 videos, except for me, so I’ll comment on the second.
Anyway, I liked the content in the second video. I could relate very well with the info concerning how important the amount of content and pages are to the search engines.
My sites are based around this same idea in relation to RSS Feed and the content changing every 24-72 hrs with hundreds to thousands of pages. The search engines love this, and the linking too, of course.
Looking forward to what Traffic Secrets 2 may offer.
Thanks John to your comittment to continue to take IM to another level.
July 4th, 2008 at 8:29 am
cool videos,
how do we share ur content john… any digg this button or sharethis button …
what do u think???
thanks for ur content
great luck to u
July 4th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Hello John, Eventhough I was not able to load the videos, I was lucky enough to be able to download the video (as my real player showed an option for that) and I just wanted to let you know that the videos are totally impressive in look, quality and content and thank you so much for coming up with quality content all the time…
Regards
Spencer Jones
July 4th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Happy 4th of July! What an incredible video… I’ve always had the idea that places like HuffingtonPost, Weblogs, Inc, and other huge blogs run their business a bit like a TV show. BTW, wasn’t it Weblogs, Inc that sold to AOL for cool $1 million?
Nice payday. Go out and see some fireworks tonight!
July 4th, 2008 at 10:46 am
Hi John,
great videos, I appreciate the way you look at the world and make things seem so obvious when you explain them. It has given me a few Ideas for new articles I can write for my Blog and ways I can optimise what I am doing already.
I think this is what I appreciated most about traffic secrets 1 it is the mindset that you display. This is what I hope to learn how to emulate. Following strategies blindly without being able to think is a waste of time because if everyone does them they will be out of date in no time. Knowing how to reverse engineer the success of others is always going to be a shortcut.
July 4th, 2008 at 11:50 am
Hi John,
Loved both videos immensely. The multiple tips were awesome.
I’m in the middle of implementing some of them into a couple of my sites.
I didn’t purchase TS1 mainly because of the price, but TS2 is within my budget.
So, you definitely have a customer as soon as it’s launched.
Again, these pre-promo videos were made in a very concise, and
enjoyable format. I really got a lot of valuable info from them.
Thank You John,
Sandy Hall

July 4th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
John, I am very curious about the format, that you chose for the actual course.
I personally do not enjoy the format of these 2 videos, to me its too distracting, flashy, TV news-like… and kind of “their attention span is only 30 seconds”.
Yes, it is a cool web 3.0 virtual studio video format. But..
Wishing all the best

Funny,
the way I found out about the “traffic secrets”relases was JV email from Mike Filsaime…
Seems the old way, still the best way…JV Friends…
anything over $297 would be overpriced
July 5th, 2008 at 10:50 am
John,
Just finished watching the first video.
First up, I think the look of the video was very good and very professional. Web video (used by the IM community) has always seemed like the poor country cousin of video on TV. Finally, someone has upped the bar. And I’m happy that someone is you
I’m very surprised that people are complaining about the production values. Hello, people? Have you really been watching video on the web?
Great tips - all of them - but what worked for me the most was Tip #10. I had been struggling with a problem in my advertising efforts and … BANG … the solution was staring down at me in Tip #10.
I’m ready for TS2…don’t need to watch a single video… isn’t there some page where your former students - and people who truly trust you - can go and pre-order TS2? Hey, if a Harry Potter book can be pre-ordered, why not TS2?
Think about it….
Another thing…. You’ve lost weight! Considering you were never overweight, that’s saying something. Working out or just working too much?
Take care - and God bless,
AS

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the kind words. It really means a lot to me because I truly do care about each and every one of our people… including email subscribers, customers, affiliates, and people who simply enjoy reading our blog.
I’m working hard to keep up with affiliate support emails and such, but if anyone needs anything at all, email me anytime!
Take care,

Hi John,
Excellent videos, the production was AMAZING! I saw Mike F, Frank K and others HATING on your videos because of how high the quality was.
There was one tip you gave, I forget whether it was on the first or the second video but it was about content creation. On it, you pointed out how the Oprah Winfrey show doesn’t do a show and then at the end say “I wonder what we are going to talk about tomorrow.” You talked about how those shows are planned weeks, even months in advance and how we need to be doing the same with our content creation.
I for one will be the first to admit that I currently have been following the “I wonder what we are going to talk about tomorrow” model. However, that will be changing thanks to that video so awesome job!
Also, like Tom, I would also like to give kudos to Andy! Without his help, I still would have no idea what my affiliate link is. Only the Lord knows what happened to that email with that info lost in yahoo land somewhere so thanks Andy!
Regarding affiliate features, the #1 feature that I believe would benefit most affiliates right now is the ability to see how many people opt in from our affiliate pages.
July 6th, 2008 at 7:44 am
Just watched the first video - very nice. Watching the 2nd one now. Awesome work John, I will most likely be buying this course as it’s obvious you’re a very prolific teacher of prolific technique, you know what you’re doing.
Thanks, Nick
July 6th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
I’m in as well… I can’t wait to get my hands on the product! John you got my order already as well..

Quote: “sorry but all criticism should be expressed”
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard so far in 2008 (but hey the political conventions haven’t happened yet so hope springs eternal). I’m really glad I’m not related to the person who posted that.
Great job on the videos, John and team, but you had me at “million dollar day.”
I think the REAL lesson from these first 2 videos isn’t in the fancy graphics, chroma-key, etc. It’s in John’s eyes. It’s the same look you’ll find in 3rd and 4th year medical residents — people who put in LONG hours day in and day out — the “all-nighter” look. Probably one of the reason’s he’s “John Reese” and you’re not (and I’m not).
I’m willing to work, and I’ll be one of the first to buy TS2. Anyone else?
–Matt
PS: The reason Eben Pagan blended so well into his “Guru Mastermind” video backgrounds is because he wasn’t keyed in. They were real seamless paper backgrounds with different color lighting gels in different videos.
July 6th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Oh one more thing…
John, interesting choice there on the single opt-in with no name for future personalization. Would you like to elaborate on those decisions?
Just curious.
–Matt
July 6th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Matt…what are you on about ‘medical residents’? are you insisting they ‘medical students’ they are the only ones that work hard in society? you fool! There are other HARD WORKING professionals in this world….. You Mega Mega MEGA Fool !!
You say you’ll be the first to buy TS2? How can you be so sure of yourself that you will be the first, amongst all us marketers? you seem very aragont Matt.
John is who he is because he is, not because he does all nighters… im sure hundreds of people here do all nighters. Matt please think before you type, and embarrass yourself!
July 7th, 2008 at 3:08 am
this could really take the IM world by storm, people still go crazy for the original traffic secrets… I cant wait to get my hands on this
July 7th, 2008 at 5:12 am
Hey everyone! Thanks for the great comments. I´ll try and reply to more of them specifically soon. I´m currently in Spain for Running With The Bulls.
July 7th, 2008 at 9:21 am
@Matt Gordon:
On a 1024 resolution screen, the initial request for a first name, last name, and then an e-mail address simply pushed the last two fields (including the submit button) “below the fold”. It’s likely this was hurting opt-ins.
Don’t laugh, but people like me are too lazy to scroll down, in fact, too lazy to even input more than just an e-mail address, and too dumb to understand anything other than the word “SUBMIT” in big bold letters. Okay, I’m being slightly sarcastic, but why make people “think” or “do” more than they have to? (So that, plus keeping everything “above the fold” is the likely reason for skipping the name variables).
Also… the length of this promotion is relatively short. Yes, I admitted before to being too dumb to understanding anything other than the word “SUBMIT” in big bold letters (maybe some NLP at play there, too)… but odds are I’ll “recognize” an e-mail from John Reese as being related to Traffic Secrets. Not including my first (or last name) as part of the subject will probably not affect my willingness to open a message from John.
Anyway, just some thoughts… I hope John doesn’t get gored! lol
Chris
July 7th, 2008 at 10:06 am
@Chris –
Very good observation on the “above the fold” issue. I honestly hadn’t thought of that (I gave up design & have much more talented people do it for me). In a way, it does kind of translate into the single opt-in — e.g., people being lazy (or, well, yes stupid in the case of some). Are you saying that initially, the design did have the extra fields and it was changed?
(Speaking of single opt-in, I was at the customer conference of a large ESP in May where they asked for a show of hands of people using double opt-in, and I was shocked by how few people it. It was probably only about 10%. I would have guessed it would be way higher than that.)
And you’re most probably right that JR doesn’t “need” personalization to get a good open rate, but I still kind of thought it would be a nice tool to have in the toolbox, you know?
Thanks for the reply,
Matt

PAMPLONA, Spain (AP) — Daredevils kicked off the running of the bulls Monday with a long, messy and particularly dangerous dash through the streets of Pamplona, with nine people suffering bumps and bruises but none gored, officials said.

John, did you run with the bulls? Got any video to share? Hope there were no “bumps and bruises” for you…
July 8th, 2008 at 12:19 am
Hi John,
Apart from the great tips you shared with all of us, personally I’m quite amazed at your
presentation skills.
Seriously you should be a TV presenter or talkshow host. You’ve the talent!
I can’t help but feel that you are extremely composed and eloquent.

July 8th, 2008 at 6:14 am
@Matt –
Yes, initially there was a spot for first name, then a spot beneath that for last name, and then a submit button. It vaguely resembled the sign-up form you can see on the Income notification list. (The “coming soon” page).
About the ESP conference wherein only 10% of the attendants used confirmed opt-in (also known as “double” opt-in)… that does surprise me. You know, what REALLY surprises me is that John (Reese) and his team don’t have a COI mechanism built into their in-house auto responser setup.
John has known Paul Myers for ages, and this is something Paul said in a Warrior Forum post a while back that I saved for future reference, and that I think is really on-point when talking about opt-in e-mails within the IM arena:
~~~
There are circumstances in which COI (what most erroneously call “double opt-in”) is absolutely critical. There are others in which it’s a tiny thing and easily ignored.
I could go into a multi-page diatribe about what should be done when, but I’ll skip that. One piece of advice:
In the IM field, COI is very important. Why? Because the field has a much higher than usual percentage of people with no mental connection to reality and a huge tendency to lie and cheat and abuse others, often solely for entertainment or spite.
~~~
That makes sense to me. A lot of sense, yet John and his team have taken a maverick position that COI isn’t necessary. According to a study published by Aweber Communications (a large ESP with a ton of clients in the IM field), 5 to 20 percent of web form submissions are undeliverable right off the bat.
(You can check the Aweber site for an article entitled “Confirmed Optin Myths Exposed”, or words to that effect.)
In a lot of ways, I “get” why single opt-in is better: the honest people who input an accurate e-mail address won’t be inconvenienced by having to jump through additional steps to get what they requested.
Apparently there isn’t as much “collateral damage” as large ESP’s want you to believe as it relates to running a single opt-in list.
It would be fantastic if the head e-mail manager at Income.com would chime in with some thoughts about COI vs non-COI web forms.
Anyway… I’ve got to get back to work.
-Chris
July 8th, 2008 at 11:35 am
@Andy Husson: Also want to take the opportunity again to thank you for getting back to me so fast and handling the whole issue in such a great way.
Yes, there might be a lot of scammers online, but try to find a company OFFLINE that has the level of customer care I experienced with Income.com, and how John decided on the issue - in fact, the only place I know of that has comparable service is a certain five star hotel, and they charge more than double per night what you charge for the whole traffic secrets course (I know their service because I was working for one of their guests).
You rock! Wish I could buy “Income.com stocks”.
July 8th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
The two videos are great IMHO. I didn’t get traffic secrets 1.0 because I was in a different pre historic industry. I will be getting 2.0 the day it comes out. Great stuff!

Hi, John
As always, you provide great content and do so generously. Picked up so many tips from you from these three vidoes, alone, thank you, and was reminded of many more tactics that I had overlooked! Can’t wait to apply them to all to my sites.
I also can’t believe the price of the product. I was expecting it to be in four figures but delighted that I may even qualify, as owner of TS1, for a free copy! Can’t wait!
Kind regards and all good wishes for your forthcoming launch.
