Hello again.

This is Nicole, with MenuPlanningCentral.

First of all -- WOW, AGAIN! for the huge number of sales we've been seeing come in from our affiliates! You are awesome!

I've been spending quite a bit of time lately at the beach (I live 10 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico, so it's a nice way to spend the afternoon, as you can imagine.) Well, unfortunately, I'm not exactly feeling "sexy" in my bikini this year. In fact, you could say that I feel quite a bit less than sexy right now. ;)

So, it is with great pleasure that I announce our latest free report just for you ...
It'll show you how to get your body ready for the beach.
http://www.menuplanningcentral.com/beachbody.pdf

And, of course, we also offer a brandable version for those of you that like to share these with your lists, or post them on your blog, or offer them as bonuses -- you know the scoop.

Here's the page to grab the report, brand it, and earn commissions from it

http://www.partnerupdates.com/beachbody/

However, if you're not quite techy enough for that, don't fret.

Here are some text ads for you to use instead (just add this to the end of your emails):

I know this is a LONG email, but read all the way through for a special surprise.

Wow. What a whirlwind. We hadn’t anticipated the tremendous response to this new product. Thank you to all of the affiliates who are actively promoting. Many of you will be receiving huge deposits into paypal as a result of your participation. Be sure to add your links to your autoresponder so you can keep up your momentum.

If you haven’t started promoting yet, just sign in at
http://www.menuplanningcentral.com/order/member.php to get your links right away.

Of course, with any new product launch, there is always a bit of confusion. Some of the promos that were sent by affiliates contained incorrect information, and we are getting customers that feel they were misled… of course this is not a good thing.

So, we wanted to clarify a few things so you can make sure your promos are accurate and we only have happy customers!

** CLARIFICATIONS **

1. There is NO free trial with this offer. There is an initial cost of $19.97 which will give the customer the following items immediately:
• 4 Family Friendly Menus
• 4 Healthy Menus
• 4 Vegetarian Menus
• 13 weeks of Kid Approved Meals
• Free 30 Day Membership To the Menu Planning Club

2. There is NOT a weekly menu sent with this program. It’s a membership site where the members will log in monthly to access their menus and additional free resources, as well as unannounced bonuses.

** SURPRISE! **

Several of you told us that you just got our messages because you spent the weekend with your family. We understand that! And, because family is #1 with us, too, and we certainly wouldn't penalize you for that – SO… we're going to wait one more day before sending out our mailing to our free lists.

Here's a follow-up you can send to your lists (did you know reminder emails usually get a better response than the first contact does?) Send it now.

---

Are you STILL Feeding Your Family Junk?!
A few days ago, I sent you an email about a new service that can help you to prepare home-cooked meals and save time and money over the so called "Fast Food" option?

Menu Planning ensures that you have the ingredients you need in the house to whip up a delicious and nutritious dinner – every night.

I hope you’ve stop by (insert your link here) and already picked up your free report on the benefits of Menu Planning.

If not, I’d like to get serious with you for just a moment. Studies have shown that menu planning and eating together as a family can result in a more loving relationship with your kids, less trouble at home and even a reduced risk of school dropout and teen pregnancy. You owe it to yourself and your family to check this out.

** FREE TRAINING **

Now, more fun stuff.

Those of you who are new to this type of affiliate program may be confused at how to get started. I’ve created a free video for you to introduce you to our program:

http://www.partnerupdates.com/welcome_mpc/480videonb.htm


In addition, if you’re new to online marketing, I’ve included links to a few of my free ecourses. I encourage you to sign up for as many as you’d like.
Nicole Dean's Free Courses

www.WebTrafficBasics.com – Free Web Traffic Course

www.ShowMomtheNewsletter.com
– Free Course to Get Started with a Newsletter

www.ShowMomtheBlogging.com – Free Course to Learn How to Blog

** TOOLS **

And, yes, we’ll have buttons, banners, articles, and more goodies for you to use to promote this program coming later this week. Stay tuned…

That’s it for now. If you have any questions, concerns or comments, please email me at nicole@menuplanningcentral.com

On Friday night, we sent you an announcement about our brand-new Menu Planning program and our new VERY generous affiliate program (over 100% commission per sale <– not a typo).

Quite of few people took action right away and will receive deposits of over $200 each from us in affiliate commissions. Not bad for sending out one email to their lists!

If you haven’t signed up yet to promote this new program, you will want to take a moment and do so right away. Between now and 10 am Monday June 4th (yes, that is tomorrow morning), you have the “Once in a Lifetime” opportunity to beat us to the punch when it comes to promoting Menu Planning Central. Of course we encourage you to continue sharing the offer in the days and months to come (as it’s converting VERY well) – add it to your thank you pages, your autoresponders, etc…, but, the important thing is to send your first mailing right now. We promise not to contact our free email lists until Monday morning. You get first dibs to announce this program to everyone and anyone you can! Shout it from the mountains!
;)

We’re copying the original email below so you can read all about the program, but basically this is your chance to make $20.00 per sale and you can imagine how quickly this can add up to cover a car payment, a mortgage payment, or even pay for a summer holiday getaway.

Let’s do a little math…
Let’s say you have a list of 5000 newsletter subscribers and only 1% of them take you up on this great offer. That’s 50 sales at $20 commission each – you get $1000 sent to your paypal account. Now that’s a nice chunk of change for taking 2 minutes to send an email! On the other hand, if you have a slightly smaller, but more responsive list of 1000, and 5% sign up, that’s also $1000.

Here’s the email that first invited you to join the new Menu Planning Central Affiliate Program which includes the simple steps to sign up and get started.

=================
How would you like to earn a $20 commission on a sale of a $19.97 product?

No, we haven’t lost our minds… We’ve created a brand new menu mailer pack and want to start it off with a bang – and in order to do that we are willing to reward you for your help.

Over the past months we’ve been surveying customers to find out what they REALLY want in a menu planning service. We took all their suggestions to heart and created Menu Planning Central based upon their feedback.

Since it’s easiest to sell potential customers what they want, we’re very excited about this new product. We’ve been feverishly working on Menu Planning Central – and IT IS READY!

Between now and Monday, June 4th at 10 am EST we are giving our affiliates a head start in promoting this new menu planning site. And, we’d like to invite you to participate.

In the spirit of partnership, we’ve decided not to even email our own free lists until Monday to give you a chance to cash on those $20.00 commissions first. (This is unheard of in affiliate programs – but we believe in working WITH our affiliates, rather than against them.)

*** TAKE ACTION WITH THESE STEPS ***
Here’s all you’ll need to do to get started.
1. Take a moment to sign up for the new affiliate program here (the affiliate program is completely separate from HMM’s affiliate program, so you’ll need to sign up through this link) http://www.menuplanningcentral.com/affiliates.html

2. Then go to http://www.menuplanningcentral.com/order/member.php and sign in to grab your affiliate links.

3. Next we suggest you email your existing lists as soon as possible. You’ll want to beat the other affiliates (and us) before we start to promote this new product on Monday morning. So send your newsletter subscribers a special note about this new menu planning pack today, if possible.
Here are some ideas for your email contact:

It ensures that you have the ingredients you need in the house to whip up a delicious and nutritious dinner in less time than it takes you to find a coupon for your favorite pizza joint -- again.

She’s done all the hard work for you, compiling recipes and creating printable shopping lists. All you have to do is click print and you’re set to feed your family for an entire week.

To make sure you get as many sales as possible, we set up an opt-in form at www.menuplannincentral.com that will capture the name and email of our web visitors in exchange for a free report on Menu Planning.

If you think about it, your job is to just get them to visit our website.
Of course you are also welcome to mention the free report or the menu planning pack that they will be offered after they sign up for the report.
