Mafioso Marketing
Although I loved all the new little tips and tricks that J.D. taught about making money in niche markets, I have to admit that I was kind of annoyed by his mobster-like character he kept slipping into.
The first ten whole pages were all just marketing hype delivered in a Sopranos-esque voice… I almost didn’t make it to the 11th page where it starts to get more interesting because my eyes had glazed over and I was starting to fall asleep… However the 11th page came just in time and thankfully was some really eye-opening stuff!
Out of nowhere it started delivering…
From that point forward the great ideas started flowing and on page 23 he even admitted that the hypey mobster personality was just a persona to make the subject more entertaining. His accent was toned down for the rest of the book at that point.
He then went on to explain why that’s exactly what you need to do while niche marketing sometimes, and it’s a very convincing argument. It’s true that this works in niche markets where it would be too boring otherwise, and even in broad markets like making money online people like the Rich Jerk have done very well with it.
However the real meat of Mafioso Marketing is how he talks you through the process and possibilities of an entire niche market. -ANY niche market.
He starts out by walking you through market selection, including the best advice I’ve ever heard on how to spot a great Niche. He says it has to have exactly five things going for it and then shows you how to measure each one.
He shows you where to look for profitable niches too, such as comparing magazines to Clickbank products to find niches that are both monetizable & in-demand right now.
The most interesting thing he talks about is a philosophy of his own making where he doesn’t just settle for Adsense earnings nor affiliate products for that niche market. He’s got this formula that he does to every niche he owns called “M-I-F.”
That stands for Monthly, Instant, and Future. He really stresses how impatient he is and how important it is that we take every niche market and make it pays us all three ways. Therefore, he shows us how to make Monthly, re-occuring profit in that niche, then make INSTANT paypal cash in that niche, and also to totally dominate that niche with future earnings!
It sounds like quite a tall order, but he spends the rest of the 69-page eBook completely delivering exactly how to do it.
Among the several other supporting topics covered, he:
- Shows you exactly how to outsource your content better and cheaper than you could imagine. (I thought this was an incredible tip worth 100’s of dollars, and no, it does NOT include elance or any such service…
- Shows you how to do a niche-market level product Launch which I believe will work great, but to tell you the truth I can think of a few more important things to add to it.
- Explains why a sales page must GIVE value, not just sell.
- Shows what those $7 reports are Really used for. (Perfect for newbies, and no, it’s not about making money yet.)
- Shows you the how & why to use membership sites & Forums.
- Shows you how to take your membership sites and sell them for easy, instant cash
- Shows you how to write or outsource eBooks
- Explains the best way to monetize VRE sites (NOT with AdSense!)
- Teaches simple SEO, which is a little too simple for my tastes but seem to work for his business model.
- Reveals the best niche-within-a-niche that Everyone should target! (This one is worth gold)
- Shows, through a great video series, how to turn Private Lable Rights Articles into Unique content very quickly.
- And even preaches how you can acquire the focus you need to get things done.
With the 69-page manual, four main videos, and then many smaller sets of supporting videos, Mafioso Marketing has a better chance than any other instruction set I know at making you a successful niche marketer.

Hi Luke,
I enjoy your sites and ebooks. How would you compare Mafioso to Niche Marketing on Crack or your own Surefire-Success system?
I want to branch out a bit and try more marketing and I like learning from quality courses to shorten the learning curve and avoid pitfalls if possible.
Thanks again for all the value you bring to the market.

Hi Darrell,
Thank you for the kind words!
I haven’t used NMonCrack, so I can’t say about that one. As for comparing it to SSS, It’s not the same thing at all.. SSS emphasizes building content to create residual streams of income from thousands of different places, while Mafioso is more of a way to become a product owner with an ezine list.
He really says to just pick niches that you can monetize in three particular ways, for the Monthly, Instant, and Future earnings through some kind of infoproduct, and doesn’t cross over into the realm of SSS, which is more like freelance journalism than product creation.
So if your end goal is to find a profitable niche, and then squeeze every little last penny out of it, this one is for you. It’s pretty interesting that way.
Thanks for reading!
