Since you will be meeting one last time people will want to have one last chance to see how you can help them improve their life. It could be that you are reuniting to create and present a new product together, doing a teleseminar or seminar together, doing a workshop or class together, etc. You can even tell your prospects the total of how much you two together normally charge and offer them a much lower price.
 
44. The "Reward The Reader" Formula.
The "I'll regularly reward you for (opening, responding to, reading, etc.) my e-mails..." formula tells your prospects that they shouldn't delete your e-mails because they may get something for free that will help them reach their goals in life. Explain to them you know that we all are getting bombarded with spam but you will offer them goodies because you want to truly help them.

45. The "If You Can" Formula.
The "if you can (something simple/quick) you can (your products benefit)..." formula tells your prospects that your product will give them their desired benefit if they can accomplish an easy or everyday action.

46. The "Money Up-front" Formula.
The "I'll offer you $(no.) to joint venture with me..." formula tells your prospects that you will pay them an upfront fee if they send your product offer to their lists. And that's on top of the commissions you will pay them. You just want to make sure the marketer has a big or highly targeted list of mostly proven buyers. Some marketers may think you're just being desperate so you may want to give them a reason why you're offering money up-front. For instance, you don't want them to take any risks or because you know you'll make the upfront fee back because it converts so well.
 
47. The "Build Up" Formula.
The "if you just (verb - lose, make, etc.) (no.) (an amount - pound, dollar, etc.) a (time period - year, day, week, etc.) it would equal (no.) (an amount - pound, dollar, etc.) and (time period - year, day, week, etc.)..." formula tells your prospects your product will give them an easy formula or system that will add to their desired benefit over a certain period of time. For example, if you just lose 5 pounds a month that would equal 60 pounds in one year. Another example, if you only make a $500 a week that would amount to $26,000 a year.
 
48. The "Affiliate Compliment" Formula.
The "my affiliate bonus is the perfect complement to (the name of product you are promoting)..." formula tells your prospects that if they order the affiliate product through your link you will give them a personal bonus of your own that will make the product even better. Your bonus could help make the product easier to use, the benefits appear faster, make them easier to understand, etc.
 
49. The "Get Your Share" Formula.
The "get your share of (a major benefit that someone else is selling or owns)..." formula tells your prospects your product will help them gain their beneficial slice of pie from a resource that already has an abundance of it. For example, get your share of the 20 billion (type of industry) market. Another example, get your share of the 50,000 pounds this amazing weight loss formula has removed from people all over America.
 
50. The "100% Winner" Formula.
The "win 100% commissions for (no.) (days, weeks, months, years, etc.)..." formula tells your prospects you are holding an affiliate contest and if they sell the most they will qualify to keep all the profits they sell. You could even offer a 100% commissions contest for multiple web sites and/or products you own instead of only one product.
