Short Reports
Sale System
In business, nothing happens
UNTIL a sale is made – Toyin Omotoso

“If you TRY to sell food to a man who is already FULL, you
will have a hard time selling but if you sell food to a man
who is starving, the food will sell itself”
In the first module, we have already covered all the things you
need to know about creating the products you want to sell which
are short reports in this case.
2
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
If I had spent just 2 hours to create only one report and then
dedicated the remaining 14 hours to selling that one report, maybe
I would have made an extra N1million last year.
The more you can sell, the more money you can make.
If you master the art of selling, you will NEVER be broke again.
It still does not even matter if you are selling it online or offline.
Selling is still selling. The basic rules and principles apply.
Before I move on, I need to wash away the negative mindset that
some people have about selling.
3
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
Some people have this stupid and ignorant mindset that Selling is
evil and it is manipulation.
Now, there is a right way of selling and a wrong way of doing it.
The wrong way of selling is what all these hawkers and some shop
people do when they try to force a product down your throat.
Go to public places especially in Lagos and you will see all sorts of
people trying to sell you one thing or the other in such a way that
gets you annoyed.
This is why selling is a GOOD thing: The first thing you need to
know about effective selling is that you should always sell what
your market WANTS.
In short, you must ONLY sell what your marketplace desires and
this is one of the reasons why choosing a market using the
techniques that I explained in module 1A is crucial.
You must not sell what you think the audience in your market are
supposed to want.
4
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
….
….
….
Duh!
While a marketer will know that these students are likely to buy
more of product B because it is what they secretly desire.
5
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
When you can sell to the desires of people especially, their secret
desires, you will have a stress free time selling your products.
Another example:
Some people who bought this course (maybe you) gave me a hard
time just because they wanted to pay a measly N7500, N8500 or
N10,000.
These are the same people who will take their girlfriends to a
boutique or restaurant and spend more than N30,000 right off on
her without thinking.
And yet, they have to call and email my customer service 17,000
times before they decided to buy a course that will help their
finances.
Why?
Despite the fact that we all WANT one thing or the other and we
have the money to buy them, we may not do so UNTIL when
6
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
someone who knows how to sell that thing comes our way.
You are happy too because you made money and made someone
happy doing so.
For instance, you paid me money to get this course and I am happy
because of that BUT I am even more happy when you make use of
this information to make your life better.
If I didn't SELL you this course and kept it all to myself, you
wouldn't be learning all these things that could improve your
finances.
In order for you to create a sales system that will help you to
effectively sell your short reports...or any other products for that
matter, the first thing you have to do is to ask yourself this
question:
7
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
8
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
Due to this truth, you need to sit down and do a deep research to
know exactly who is likely to buy from you and that is why you
need to choose a market to start with.
So, let's say your choice of market is MARRIAGE. This means you
want to be creating and selling short reports on marital issues to
help people who are married.
But it doesn't end there. You still need to dig deep and figure out
the type of ideal people who go out of their way to buy materials
that will help them with their marriages.
Now that we have single people out of the way in this case. We still
have to ask some other questions to be able to pinpoint who your
ideal customer is.
Here are some questions that can help to identify your potential
buyers.
9
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
Now, one thing you must NOT do is to guess these things. You have
to really find out what the truth is.
So, to explain this with the MARRIAGE market that I was talking
about, let me now try to answer the questions above and I am
doing this based on the knowledge that I have about some people
that I know who buy books on improving their marriage.
10
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
11
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
is:
This does not mean you won't get sales from people who are
outside the description of your potential buyer that we just made.
For instance, you might gets some sales from men...from women
who don't go to church or women who are over 45.
That will always happen but knowing who to target will help you to
get better results because you already have an idea about the kind
of people who buy what you are selling.
So, from the example with the marriage market above, I now know
that my marketing and advertising has to be targeted towards an
educated Yoruba or Igbo woman who goes to church, married with
children and whose age range is between 28 – 45.
Let us now move on to the sales funnel system that you will be
using to sell your short reports on the internet.
13
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
I will explain how the whole system works later on in this training.
Traffic/Advertisement => Squeeze Page => Lead Magnet => Offer =>
Email Followups ==> More Offers
14
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
Traffic/Advertisement
Squeeze Page
Lead Magnet
Offer
Email Followups
15
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
Let me explain what each of the step on the chart means before I
go on to explain how to apply them effectively.
Bear in mind that we are selling online. So, you are going to need a
website. We will talk about that later on.
But you just don't want any kind of people to visit your website.
You ONLY want people who are customers or who are likely to
become customers.
REASON: If nobody visits your website, all the other parts of the
sales system are useless.
16
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
won't make any sale despite the other things you have put in place.
For most people, the main information that they collect on the
squeeze page is the email address of the visitor. They do this so
that they can always keep in touch with the visitor. You must have
come across at least one squeeze page before online.
1. A Headline
2. Bullet points
3. An optin form
17
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
Those are the basics. Some squeeze pages may also contain
additional elements like:
18
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
A zip file comes along with this particular module that contains
several squeeze page designs that you may choose from and use to
create your own squeeze page.
I will teach you how to create a killer squeeze page later on in this
module. Let me move on to the next item in our sales funnel.
Before I say what it is, let me tell you what a lead is. A LEAD is
someone who is likely to buy from you because he has shown
interest in what you are offering.
The lead magnet is simply what you are offering on your squeeze
page so that a visitor can sign up with you if he is interested.
If you look at the squeeze page sample that is above, you will find
19
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
out that Anik Singal (the owner of the page) was giving away a free
book.
It is not important that what you are giving away on your squeeze
page must always be a free book. Other things that you may give
away are:
However, the main thing is that the lead magnet you are giving
away has to be something that is highly related to the main
products that you are selling.
E.g
let's say your market is marriage like we were talking about before
and your main products are different short reports on various
topics in marital improvement.
20
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
E.g.
If you are overweight and you want to lose weight and you
suddenly stumbled on this squeeze page below, there is a high
probability that you will sign up immediately even though you have
never heard of this guy before.
So, right now, you know that lead magnets usually work with the
21
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
In this case, since we are selling short reports, you have to offer
one or more of your short reports to them and explain why they
should buy it.
You will be doing this by directing your prospects to the sales copy
that you have set up to sell the short report (the offer)
In case, you do not know what a sales copy is, it is basically a piece
(might be in text or video) that you use to present what you are
selling to people.
So, let me add this up to the other sales funnel element that I have
explained previously.
If the person is interested, they will opt-in via the optin form on the
page to get your lead magnet. So if your lead magnet is a short
article for instance, they are directed to a page where they can
read the short article and after they do so, you can now put a link at
22
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
the end of the article to send them over to your sales copy where
you are offering your short report.
At this stage, some of the leads may buy immediately but the
majority of them are not going to buy right away for different
reasons like:
So, what you have to do is to ensure that you follow up with them
via email marketing and that brings us to the next element on our
sales funnel.
Email FollowUps
It has proven via several tests that a large percentage of the people
who land on your website will not buy the first time.
It has also been proven that most of them will not buy until after
you have followed up with them up to 7 times.
23
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
this course didn't buy it the first time they landed on the website
selling it.
However, you simply do not use email to follow up, you also use it
to develop a relationship with your subscribers by sharing things
from your life with them and also sharing valuable things that can
improve their lives with them as well.
This is where the LARGE bulk of money you are going to make will
come in.
Another method is by using SMS but you and I know that text
messages can only contain a limited number of characters.
24
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
So, if you wake up today and you want to send out an email to your
list of 20,000 subscribers for instance, you will just login to your
autoresponder and send the mail to them and the autoresponder
will deliver the mail to the 20,000 subscribers.
This is a tool that you can not do without when you are selling
online.

expertoluwatoyin@yahoo.com
That leads us to the last part of the sales funnel which is...
27
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
Prospects are those who have never bought from you before.
Customers are those who have spent money with you at least
once.
Your main task is to keep creating several short reports that your
market wants and offer them to your prospects and subscribers.
For your customers – If the previous reports they bought from you
are good, they will have no problem with buying more reports from
you. This is why you must ensure that your products deliver on
their promises and the packaging is always of high quality.
Selling more short reports is where you make more money from
your subscribers.
If each of your reports sell for N2,000 for instance, you will make
more money if you have 10 reports than when you have 5 reports
because there are some of your customers who will buy
everything.
This is the last part of the sales funnel and it will only be a success if
the previous parts of the sales funnel is in place.
So, let me now go back and give you more explanation about
these aspects:
28
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
All you have to do is pick the layout you want and design it or give it
to the person who will help you with your minisite creation.
So, what I will be explaining here is not about the technical part of
creating a squeeze page.
When a visitor who does not know you from Adam lands on your
squeeze page, there is a way you want to use to present your lead
magnet in order to convert that visitor into a subscriber.
29
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
page?
3. How else can you explain the benefits of what the visitor is
going to get by opting in to your list.
5. How can you clearly communicate the action you want the
visitor to take on the squeeze page?
30
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
Can you see how the following elements do their work in the
squeeze page I just showed you above?
HEADLINE – Can you see how the headline quickly tells the visitor
what he is going to get? It also specifies that there is a FREE
DOWNLOAD and TRAINING.
The first sentence of the text part is in ALL CAPS and it says: GET
FREE DOWNLOAD NOW
The yellow button too at the end of the form on that page also says
“Get Instant Access” and it has a red circle around it to draw the
eye of the visitor towards it.
31
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
Just in case you are thinking of where the form on the page comes
from, that is the Opt-In form and it is generated from the
autoresponder that you are using.
Your website designer will be able to help you fix it into the
squeeze page.
Since the lead magnet plays a big role in how effective your
squeeze page is going to perform, you must make sure that you
should always use a STRONG lead magnet that is targeted to your
audience.
If you look at the headline on the squeeze page, you will see that it
is about a special report that I targeted towards people who are
already into an online business but who want to make more profits
from their business.
That is how your lead magnet should work. In case you are
wondering, the opt-in form for the page is after the ecovers.
32
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
Now, let's talk about how to use emails to sell your small reports
and follow up.
33
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
Email marketing is a full blown course on its own. I can even show
you one or two places where you can buy email marketing courses
for as high as $3,000.
What I want to quickly show you here is how you can sell massively
using emails and how you can keep getting better at it.
If done well, email marketing alone will make you a lot of money
because it is a good way to sell any products online.
You also need to know that selling with email is a skill. Since it is a
skill, that means anyone can learn it. I learnt it and the people I
learnt it from also learnt it...and even I am still learning more about
it.
34
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
Got it?
35
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
Email Type 1 – Low - Selling Email messages - These emails are used
mainly to provide information and entertainment for your
subscribers and you now link it to an offer. So, it is like 80% content
and 20% promotion. See sample below.
Email Type 2 – Promotional Emails – These are emails you send out
that are mainly created to sell. They are like 90% promotion. See
sample below.
1-1-2-1-2-2-1-1-1-2-1-2-2-1-1-1-2-1-2-2-1-1-1-2-1-2-2-1
It is simple.
If you send only Low selling email messages all the time, the
number of sales you make will be limited.

time.
She said . . .
Now the interesting thing is, if Kim eats a lot of junk food,
how on earth is she slim and beautiful?
Again does it surprise you that Kanye West, the famous rapper
37
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
If you are even a bit overweight, you need to slim down fast
so you can keep your husband glued at home with eyes only for you.
And the only way you can do this is by going here
==> link to sales copy for weightloss program
and getting "The 4-Week Detox Diet"
Don't let another woman take your man away from you.
Or do you?
If you look at this email, you will find out that it is mainly about Kim
Kardashian who is a celebrity on TV.
We are just using news about her body and pregnancy to connect
with a weight loss program that is been sold.
38
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
TODAY is the LAST Day to get our weight loss cook book
package at a discount price of N5,000 for all 12-Set
Cookbooks together with ALL the B0NUSES.
You can see that the second email is mainly to sell an offer without
any piece of content or entertainment.
39
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
For instance, if you have 5 reports that sell for N2000 per one, you
may give your subscribers the chance to get the 5 reports for
N7,500 instead of paying N10,000 for the 5.
Now, let me break down the different parts of an email for you:
In every email you send, there are usually 2 main parts – The subject
of the email and the body part of the email.
SUBJECT LINE – The subject part of the email is the most crucial
because this is the first thing that your subscriber will read before
he decides to open the email and read the rest.
Here are some email subject lines that I have used in the past with
good results:
40
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
To get a great list of ideas that you can always make use of when
you want to create your emails, you can do the following:
I have already told you about the 2 major types of emails you will
be using to sell.
I have also told you about the subject line and the part it plays in
the success of your marketing campaigns.
The body copy of the email is where you deliver your message to
41
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
your subscriber.
I wish I could give you a lesson right now on how to write emails
but a faster and effective way to turn yourself into an email
creation expert is to start writing emails.
Sure. Your first 10 emails may be poor but the more emails you
write, the better you will get at it.
Let me now round off this module. This is getting too long.
The main purpose of this module is for you to learn how to setup
your sales funnel to sell your products.
42
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
You will definitely need to go through this module over and over
again because it is not something you can just rush through at once
and forget about it.
43
Short Report Cash System by Toyin Omotoso – Module 2
Also, the first sale you make to each customer is important. If the
customer did not have a good experience with you, he may not buy
anything from you again.
Got questions?
Post them on the Facebook group for the training. I will be there to
help with them along with some of my friends.
