Overview:

This is an expensive book, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better instructions for creating a successful information product or for brainstorming new markets to enter. Equally valuable, the book comes with a free phone consultation with Alexis - that’s worth more than the price of the book.

Pros:

First of all, this book will not outline all of the steps you need to get an internet marketing project up-and-running, but then again, Alexis isn’t really trying to accomplish this. What she is doing is showing you her playbook of how she has used a laser-beam strategy to generate healthy passive income day after day and year after year.

I’ve seen surprisingly few internet marketing books that address market selection and/or product creation. Alexis addresses both exceedingly well. If you’ve run out of ideas (or never had one to start with) about where to make money online, or were wondering how to make the leap from affiliate marketing to selling your own products, then this is the book for you.

Second — and this is the real gem of buying Desperate Buyers — is the free phone consultation with Alexis that accompanies the purchase of the book. I had Alexis provide feedback on a sales letter for me, and I was really impressed with the level of detail in which she critiqued my sales copy. She suggested both strategic and tactical changes to the letter that I still re-use in other letters to this day. This in and of itself was worth the price of the book. She was even nice enough to give me a second follow-up consultation for no charge (although I did end up sending her a token of my appreciation via PayPal for her great advice).

Include pages 7-26 and pages 87-93 in the Keyword Research tab of your binder. (huh?)

Include page 94 and pages 27-33 in the Content Development tab of your binder. (huh?)

Cons:

Alexis’ book leaves out a LOT of details if you’re looking to comprehensive book on starting an internat marketing biz. And that’s just fine by me. Others, such IttyBiz and Caroline Middlebrook do a good job of filling in the details of getting your site set-up, and customers in the door (so to speak).

Another con is the singular focus of the book on short (and I mean s-h-o-r-t, i.e. 10-20 page) reports. I would have a hard time justifying charging someone $40 for a 15-page manual created largely from publicly available information, but Alexis seems to have a constant stream of happy customers using exactly this strategy.
