Josh Rosenberg

“Way too biz oppy”

by

For the past few days, I’ve been promoting a webinar in which a guy named Josh Rosenberg — previously a big-time ClickBank seller, then a fractional CMO for direct response businesses — lays out his new offer, “AI Super Agent,” which builds out entire info product funnels, all the research, production creation, and copy included.

Lots of people have clicked through to Josh’s offer. A fair number have signed up for the webinar. Some have bought the “AI Super Agent.”

But a good number of people are also skeptical. Here’s a comment I got from a reader:

===

Yeah I had the same reaction to his offer. Sounds way too biz oppy. Like every other offer in the “AI gold rush” … seems like only the shovel sellers are making any money.

===

There’s no doubt that Josh’s “AI Super Agent” is presented as a business opportunity, starting with the fact it’s sold via webinar, and then continuing to how it’s positioned, argumented, and priced.

Maybe you’ve been burned by a biz opp before, and have simply decided that anything that looks like that is not for you. Fair enough, and I certainly won’t try to change your mind if that’s the case.

If you’re a little less decided, I can repeat what I wrote in an email back in May.

On the one hand, jumping from biz opp to biz opp, in a chase after “passive income” or “almost passive income,” is a sure recipe for staying broke, stressed, and working too hard.

On the other hand, legitimate business opportunities do exist. You won’t know one for sure until you try it and succeed with it.

I’ve personally been sold on biz opps like copywriting, revshare deals with clients, and starting and writing an email list. Each one has ended up making me lots of money and making my life significantly more free.

How to decide if a biz opp has a chance to win you money and freedom, or is likely to keep you further away from them?

In that email back in May, I gave three questions to help you evaluate business opportunities. Let me repeat those now with Josh’s “AI Super Agent” in mind:

#1. “Is this a 5-month plan or are you ok if it turns into a 5-year plan?”

#2. “Are you building up some kind of asset regardless?”

#3. “What happens if the opportunity disappears?”

The only of those questions I can answer for you is #2.

Josh’s gizmo definitely builds up assets for you as long as you keep using it. It gives you info products you can sell that in smart ways, by partnering with clients or audience owners, the way I’ve been talking about the last few days.

But even if you don’t do that, you can sell these info products by running ads to them, or simply publishing them on Amazon and seeing which ones sell on their own.

As for the other two questions, they are yours to decide on.

Will info products as a business opportunity disappear?

Weirder things have happened, and the very tech (AI) that’s making this biz opp possible might in the end also kill it.

(My personal feeling is that people will still be paying for information for at least a few years to come.)

But even if info products do stick around for years, are you ok sticking around info products for years?

Do topics like email lists and sales pages and traffic interest you, or are you hoping to run away from them as soon as possible so you can jump into another biz opp, or into something else entirely?

I cannot answer that for you.

But if you believe that info products have a future, and if you decide it’s a future you are interested in being part of, then Josh’s thing is worth a look, in spite of its “gold rush” biz opp marketing style. For more info:

Info product niches you never would believe

by

Yesterday, I wrote an email promoting Josh Rosenberg’s “AI Super Agent”, which researches and builds out an entire info product funnel for you in minutes, including the product to sell and all the copy to sell it. To which, an interested reader wrote in reply:

===

I had a quick look and couldn’t find any examples of Josh Rosenberg’s system in action, but I am very interested in what kind of results other people are getting from this kind of approach.

===

I’m guessing you won’t find many results of Josh’s customers online yet, because this offer is new.

Josh does have case studies inside the webinar I linked to and am linking to today as well.

But also I talked to Josh before I decided to promote this gizmo. I asked him, what have people actually done with his thing? He sent me back a sample list of what people are doing. Some of these info product niches are familiar, but others, specifically the trees, you might never believe:

===

One user is creating a course on vibe coding for their site https://www.lindy.ai/.

Another created funnels for copywriting/branding for startups and another for SMEs.

Someone else created funnels for prophylactic trimming of large, wind-damage prone trees and a social media posting guide.

Someone else is working on a funnel for local dentists.

Another user is creating offers for the survival niche.

Someone else is creating a funnel to help people start their own trucking company.

Someone else created multiple funnels for car salesmen.

Someone else is doing a funnel on pay per call affiliate marketing.

And someone created funnels for pickleball, real estate agents, parenting and Adobe creative cloud. This person got the agency license, so they are probably doing this for their clients.

===

(For the record, a big part of what Josh’s “AI Super Agent” does is market research. It comes up with a score predicting the likely success of various info product ideas. I’m guessing that means that “prophylactic trimming of large, wind-damage prone trees,” bizarre though it sounds, is actually a promising info product niche.)

As for that agency license Josh mentions:

Apparently, about 50% of people buying his “AI Super Agent” are taking the agency license. I don’t know the exact details of how that license works, but the broad picture is it allows you to make unlimited info product funnels, for as many different clients as you want, as opposed to just doing ones your own businesses or for one client you’re working with.

On that note, tomorrow I’ll tell you how I would find endless partners for such an “info product funnel” agency, even if you have no clients yet that you’re working with right now.

Meanwhile, if you’re interested in Josh’s “AI Super Agent,” and if you want to see if it could be a good fit for your current biz or clients, Josh has prepared a webinar where he demos and explains how it works:

How I’d transform existing ecom clients into my own info business(es)

by

A couple days ago, I wrote email about how I’d eat ecom copywriters’ lunch… with some fava beans, and a nice chianti.

That email was based on my own experience from a few years back, writing lots and lots of advertorials and revshare emails for ecom clients.

Today, I got another idea for you along the same lines, an idea I was very excited about at the time. This idea could have made me a profitable info publishing business on day 0, but it never happened, because I committed a classic persuasion blunder.

First a bit o’ background:

Like I wrote on Monday, I got ecom clients by writing advertorials. Then, I offered those same clients to write emails on a revshare basis, which made me much more than working as a per-hour copywriter.

But there was one ongoing problem, and that was a lack of good offers to promote in those daily emails.

The clients I worked with had a half-dozen or so live dropshipping offers. Some worked great, some ok.

Ideally, I’d promote each of those offers only twice every month, because otherwise I noticed the response dropped off.

What to promote all those other days?

There were affiliate networks that specialized in “viral” ecom products like the ones my clients were selling. But no matter how supposedly “viral” these offers were, my tests showed that only a handful were worth promoting, and even those underperformed our in-house offers.

Beyond the affiliate ecom products, there were a few ClickBank info products that we could sell to our audience. But since our audience (dog owners and kitchen and household gadgets buyers) was outside the popular and cutthroat ClickBank niches like dating and weight loss, the only ClickBank offers I could find had awful marketing and sold poorly.

So I had an idea.

What if I were to simply create custom info products to sell to my clients’ list?

I had a good sense of what offers could sell well based on my emails, plus I could research what’s selling on Amazon, what’s getting views on YouTube, searches on Google.

I could create some ebooks, simple sales pages for those ebooks, maybe some upsells. It didn’t need to be perfect, just attractive and quality enough to put confidently in front of our list, and to complement the physical products we were selling.

I pitched the idea to my clients. I said I will do ALL THE WORK and split the money with them.

They liked the idea, and said they would talk about it at “the partners next meeting.” Aaand… they came back a few days later, with the results of their partner deliberations:

“We discussed it extensively last meeting and decided it’s not exactly the direction we want to go (although we do see the huge potential there).”

… in other words, they said no because my “no work and no-risk offer” still sounded like some work, some risk, or at least some uncertainty or obligation.

That’s the classic persuasion blunder I told you about at the start. It goes back to the old Dean Jackson “Would you like a cookie” analogy.

Says Dean, imagine you have a guest at your house, and you know she loves oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

You could sit there with your guest in the living room and then suddenly jump up and say, “Hey how about I go in the kitchen and bake you up a tray of those cookies you love? It won’t take a minute, really!”

Do this, and odds are great your guest will think, frown, and say, “Oh no, don’t worry about it.” She might even look at you a bit weird for offering to go out of your way like that.

But what if you preemptively bake those cookies?

And then, when your guest settles in on the couch, what if you come out of the kitchen with a trayful and say, “Would you like a cookie? It’s one of those chocolate chip oatmeal ones I know you love.”

… in this case, odds are excellent your guest will wolf down the whole trayful.

Same thing here.

I could have done the work ahead of time. Created an ebook, a sales page, and even some upsells.

That done, I could have simply told my clients that I have a custom new info product offer I’ve special-made for our audience.

If they’re ok with it, I will send out a day’s email to it to test it out. I’ll also set up an affiliate account for them so they can track the sales, and give them 50% (or whatever) of the sales. If it works well, I can keep promoting it and keep splitting the profits with them.

Had I done this, there’s an excellent chance they would have said, “Sure go ahead.” After all, I was testing out new offers all the time. Many turned out to be duds, while a rare few turned out ok and became regular sellers.

Of course, I never did this. You can probably guess why.

Creating an info product, even a generic one like a dog-training ebook, takes time.

Creating a sales funnel for said ebook, even a basic one, takes time.

Creating upsells? Time.

Plus, there’s still a chance it won’t work, even though my intuition said it would.

Which brings me to my offer for you for today.

Everything I’ve just told you about happened back in 2021. The world has changed a tad since then.

If I were doing this today, well — take a look at the link below.

It’s a webinar. it demos an “AI Super Agent” that does everything I just talked about — the market research, the product creation, and the funnel building. It does it in a matter of minutes, instead of a matter of weeks/never that it would have taken me.

The guy behind this AI gizmo is Josh Rosenberg. A couple decades ago, Josh used to be a copywriter. Then a decade ago, he became a big ClickBank seller in the “teach you a guitar” and “sex & dating” spaces. Then towards the end of the 2010s, he went on to work behind-the-scenes CMO for a bunch of big direct response clients, to the tune of over $150M in sales.

A couple years ago, Josh started focusing aggressively on creating AI tools for direct response businesses.

He says he’s taken his knowledge and expertise from the various stages of his career, and baked them into this “AI Super Agent,” so it does 95% of the work of creating an effective info product funnel for you.

I haven’t used the thing myself, and so I cannot vouch for it. The reason for this is I don’t think this “AI Super Agent” is a fit for the kind of personality-based, “let me tell you something new” approach that I offer via this newsletter.

But I think this “AI Super Agent” can be very tempting if you’re in a situation like I was back in 2021. In case you’re interested in spinning up and testing out a new info business in a few clicks and taps, this might be worth a watch:
