So let me answer the biggest questions now so you know exactly what you’ll need to do to take advantage of this incredible offer.

When will the Halftime Sale start?
At the end of the second quarter, and it will end at kickoff of the second half. Since the game kickoff is about 6:30, halftime should start around 8.

What’s included in the Halftime Sale Championship Offer?
You can get the full listing at HalftimeSale.com. But basically, I’ve taken the very best module from each of several online marketing courses I’ve personally created. So you’ll learn from Teleseminar Formula, Squidoo Secrets, Discover Social Networking, Discover Product Creation, Discover Autoresponders, and IM Success Radio. The offer also includes free live coaching from me during February, as all Halftime Sale buyers receive access to the IM Success Tribe mastermind for the next 4 weeks. You’ll also get unpublished material, like Discover Blog Talk Radio (created last Wednesday), a 2 hour Q&A call recording, Live Event Secrets, and more. The full details are in the Halftime Sale members area.

That’s about $435 worth of lessons – What will I be paying for it all?
The price is determined by the score at half. Throughout the first and second quarter, I will update the score and the price. Once the second quarter ends, the “Add To Cart” button will appear inside the site. A typical halftime score is 14-10, so the price would be $24.

What if the score is 0-0?
If the Cardinals and Steelers can’t score in the first 30 minutes of play, then you get the Halftime Sale package (including the live coaching during February in my IM Success Tribe) for free. Your account will be upgraded.

What if the site crashes?
With all the excitement on Twitter, Facebook, and around the net, there’s a possibility of the site going down – especially right at the start of halftime. Please realize that you have a full 33 minutes or so to make your purchase, so you don’t have to stand there refreshing the screen over and over again at the end of the first half. If the site does go down for a short time, I will extend the sale for as many minutes as we are offline to be fair.

When will I get paid my 75% commissions?
All payments are processed by me through my Shylar’s Quest, LLC Paypal account, and accounted for through the Butterfly Marketing software. To be sure duplicate orders are corrected, and to give time for e-checks to clear, etc., all commissions earned by affiliates will be paid out on or before February 15. Be sure to include your Paypal address in your account profile (get a Paypal account here – they are free).

Are the lessons downloadable or streaming?
You get to download all the lessons in the Championship package to your computer. Most of them are in .zip files, so you’ll need to download and extract the files. A few of the audio files include streaming versions as well. Since you can download them, there is no time limit on when you learn from all the lessons.

How long do I have to download everything?
You’ll have until the end of the month to download all the products inside the members area. This will give you plenty of time to get them. Which means once you complete your purchase the Halftime Sale XLIII championship offer, you can go back and watch the rest of the game.

Is there an “upsell” after buying the Championship Library?
I am a student of Mike Filsaime and many others, so I will have a special “MVP” offer for those that pick up the Halftime Sale package. I can’t tell you much else about it, except that it’s spectacular, and completely optional.

Will I get some sneaky charge on my account a month from now?
No. Halftime Sale XLIII is a one time payment (unless it’s free), and there is no forced continuity. You get free live coaching in my monthly IM Success Tribe during February. If you wish to continue in March, you’ll need to set up a new payment at the end of February.

How did you come up with such a genius idea?
Over the last 3 years, I’ve paid attention to creative marketing ideas. Last year, I decided to do something no one else had ever done online. It was a great success and a big hit with everyone involved, so we’re doing it again! Halftime Sale is now an annual event.

How do I order the Halftime Sale Championship offer?
I suggest you take these steps to make sure you don’t miss out.

1. At the 2-minute warning, login to HalftimeSale.com (create an account now if you haven’t already)
2. Look for the big button: Halftime Sale XLIII Championship Library and click it
3. At the end of the first half, refresh the screen. Remember – there’s no need to refresh the screen over and over again BEFORE the halftime starts. You will have a full 33 minutes or so to order.
4. Click the Add To Cart button on the sale page when it appears.
5. Complete your payment through Paypal with your Paypal account. If you prefer to use a credit card, use Discover, Amex, Visa, or Mastercard through Paypal’s order form. If you want to use an e-check, you can use that, too.
6. Click “Return to Merchant” to go back to the Halftime Sale members area.
7. If you’d like to see the Halftime Sale MVP offer, be sure to look for the new link in the menu. The MVP offer is only available during Halftime for the 67% off price.
8. You have a full month to download your products. So feel free to enjoy the rest of the Big Game!

If you have other questions about the event, please post them below in a comment, and I will answer them as best I can.

p.s. Remember, you get 75% commissions on this sale, so with each of your referrals you’ll make more from this sale than I will!

p.p.s. If you are not watching the game on TV, you can “see” the score/time until half on Yahoo’s GameChannel.

In about 35 total minutes of the sale, affiliates helped 258 people get all 12 of the internet marketing lessons for just $10! Another 10% of those decided to take me up on my special offer for a discounted ticket to the 2008 Success Workshop II – You And Squidoo: Mastering Web 2.0 that starts this Friday.

All told, the Halftime Sale had a Gross Revenue of $5005 before Paypal fees. Affiliates earned about 1/3 of that and will be paid on February 15.

When I was teaching high school history, working 60 hours per week, I made about $3400 in a month after taxes, and all that. After working hard all week, and getting help from so many affiliates, the Halftime Sale brought in the same amount of money in 34 minutes. Still blows my mind!

I tell you this to say what an impact internet marketing has had on my life, and why I am so passionate to help you succeed as well. This sale took a lot of creativity, hard work, and time to develop the products that I included. If you have the same kind of drive to succeed, and you are patient with your results, but persistent with your goals – you will find the journey much more rewarding.

As for the affiliates themselves, I’d like to recognize everyone who helped share the Halftime Sale.

I did not have a contest, but I did keep track.

The top 5 affiliates were:

1. Tim Brocklehurst (the king of viral marketing didn’t promote until the final 24 hours and came out on top!)
2. Matthew Glanfield
3. Todd Gross
4. Chris Morris
5. Larry Dotson (not sure of your website, Larry – sorry!)

Of the 938 members who registered for the site, 524 came from affiliates. Of those, 313 came from these top 5 members (60%).

The following is a list of all the other affiliates who shared the Halftime Sale with at least one other person successfully, in alphabetical order by first name:

Thanks to all of you for doing your part in making this such a success. And if your name is not on the list, but you tried your best to bring in referrals, I thank you as well!

Now, you may be wondering what’s next.

First, my next “planned” sale like this one is set for November 4, 2008. Obviously, that’s a ways away, but I’ve had the date picked out since mid-2006.

A bit closer on the calendar is the second 2008 Success Workshop, which begins on Friday of this week. It’s a 4-day virtual workshop (February 8, 9, 15, 16) all about Squidoo and Web 2.0. You are invited to join us at 2008SuccessWorkshop.com.

Of course, Halftime Sale 2009 will be in February of next year.

That’s all for now. Make sure you keep up with what else is going on at AskBobTheTeacher.com, or inside our tribe on Ning.

Have a great week!

Bob Jenkins

p.s. Special thanks also to Anita Johnson for helping me with the support tickets that came in last night and this morning. That was a huge help!

Let me tell you quickly what happens next.

As the game progresses, you’ll see the score updated here, and inside the members area.

At the end of the second quarter, the total score will be added up for both teams, and that’s the price of the Championship offer.

If you have already registered for your VIP Access Pass, you will want to login a few minutes before the half. Inside the members area, if the screen doesn’t automatically go to the Championship Offer page, you’ll see a nice big link that says – CLICK HERE FOR THE HALFTIME CHAMPIONSHIP OFFER

You can read all about what you are getting, or if you know enough already, you can click the order button when you’re ready.

In addition to the 7 products I have already told you about, you will see 5 more internet marketing lessons! That’s how much I want you to succeed in 2008.

You will be able to pay through Paypal, use a credit card (MC, Visa, Amex, Discover, without opening a Paypal account), or e-check.

There is a chance that if you pay by e-check, that your downloads won’t be available immediately because of Paypal’s clearing process for e-checks.

No matter what, though, you will have until at least the end of February to download everything from your order. So there is no rush to do anything else tonight.

I have received some emails asking me if I will have an additional special offer available tonight. Although I can’t say what it is, I can tell you that yes, indeed, I will share a way for me to help you even more. In fact, I will already be telling you about this in a few more days. But tonight, you get a lot more than you will later this week. So it’s definitely to your advantage to check it out carefully before the start of the third quarter.

Of course, you can’t simply decline my invitation for the Championship MVP offer if you want and simply enjoy the regular set of 12 internet marketing lessons.

Now, as for paying you if you referred people to this sale.

Because I really detest personally using any type of $7 script, where each affiliate is paid directly, you will be paid commissions on February 15 (to allow for any refund requests, and to make sure all e-checks have cleared, etc.). The reason I don’t like those other scripts is because if I used it, everyone who bought from your link would come to you for tech support because YOUR email and websites are listed on their Paypal receipts.

So to keep the confusion low, the record keeping intact, and everyone happy in general, commissions come out on February 15.

However, you will receive an email tonight every time a sale is made, with the exact amount you are getting (which is the total price minus Paypal fees – usually about 2% of the price). You can also see your total earnings inside the Referral Program inside the site.

That’s it for now. I need to get back to watching this game and seeing if anybody else has scored!

See you at Halftime!

Bob Jenkins

p.s. Thanks again for being a part of this sale. This has been a lot of fun to meet so many new people and take a creative idea through to a finished launch. In case you are wondering, I relied heavily on two resources for carrying out this event: Product Launch Formula and Butterfly Marketing. I also used Instant Teleseminar to hold and record all the teleseminars connected to the Halftime Sale.

p.p.s. Got a comment about the game or this sale before the Half? Add it below…

You can now see what 2 of the 7 products I will be offering are.

These are two content-packed teleseminars, that I delivered live in late December as part of my Solstice Sale preview week.

Until now, the recordings have not been available except to an exclusive group of people.

I must tell you that you will learn a lot from these two calls.  In fact it’s over 3 hours of content.

But out of the 7 products you’ll see in the Halftime Sale, they are small potatoes compared to what else you will pick up (more about the other lessons later in the week).

===================================
REMINDER: Free Teleseminar Tonight
===================================

Also, in case you missed it, I am holding a teleseminar tonight with Scott Paton about Podcasting – and you get in free.

In case you don’t know, podcasting is where you record an audio or video and make it available for other people to listen to on the internet.

Many podcasts are like a series, and it’s a great way to become known as an expert very very quickly.

Whether you already knew that, or you still have no idea what podcasting can do for you, be sure to be on our call tonight at 7 p.m. EST.

It’s free for everyone who has their free VIP Access Pass to the Halftime Sale. (Remember you can bring guests through your referral link!)

I have created a study guide for the call as well, which you will find inside the members area.

Hope to see you there!

p.s. Tomorrow, I’ll reveal two more products of the Halftime Sale and announce a way for you to win the entire Halftime Sale package.

For now, enjoy the free teleseminar tonight and the sneak peek of the first two products…
