Give your readers The Four-Area Reset in return for their email address. It is a short, genuinely useful guide built on Amazing Self's four areas, and its last page recommends Amazing Self with your hoplink. Then three follow-up emails take your new subscribers to the offer.

Where to go from here
The last page recommends Amazing Self ($37 a month, 60-day money-back guarantee) with your hoplink, a line for your own words and the disclosure.
Your link for the guide
This is the link that goes where the guide says AFFILIATE-LINK. Once you have saved your hoplink on the Promotion Links page, your ClickBank ID appears in it here. It carries tid=leadmagnet, so your ClickBank reports show which sales came from the guide.
Still says YOURIDHERE? Swap it for your ClickBank ID, or save your hoplink first and come back.
How to use it in three steps
The guide builds a list that belongs to you, and the list is where the commissions come from, month after month.

Hi {first_name},
Thanks for asking for The Four-Area Reset. Here it is:
Download it here: [LINK TO YOUR REPORT]
It is short on purpose, so you can read it in one sitting. The part that matters most is the 10-minute check you do once a week, which keeps your health, wealth, relationships and mindset moving together instead of fixing one and losing the other three.
[One sentence of your own: why you made this guide or why the weekly check matters to you. Never claim results you have not had.]
Here is my one suggestion. Before you read anything else, print the worksheet near the back and do your first check this weekend. Only the scores. Do not try to change anything yet. Most people are surprised by which area turns out to be dragging the others down.
In a couple of days I will write again about the part of the reset most people get wrong.
Talk soon,

P.S. If you want to look ahead, the guide ends with the monthly read I recommend for fresh ideas in all four areas. It is called Amazing Self, and you can see what is inside here.

2The bridgeSend 2 days later
Hi {first_name},
Have you given yourself your scores yet? If you have, I want to ask you about the lowest one.
Here is the part of the reset most people get wrong. They look at the lowest score and go straight to work on it. That seems sensible, and it is usually a mistake.
The lowest score is the area that hurts. It is not always the area that is causing the hurt. Someone whose relationships score a 3 can find, after one honest look, that money worry is what makes every evening tense. Clear the money fog and home gets easier without a single hard conversation.
That is why the guide asks a second question: which area made the others harder this week? Answer that one, choose one small move for it, and put it in your calendar. One move, not four.
Then something happens around week three or four. You have done the obvious moves and you need new ones. That is where most fresh starts fade, not because anyone gave up, but because they ran out of ideas.
My answer to that is a monthly membership called Amazing Self. It is built on the same four areas, and every month it brings a magazine with a section for each one, an interview with someone who has done well in their field, and two video presentations from Mark Ling on building wealth.

In my next email I will tell you exactly what you get and what it costs, so you can decide properly.

3The offerSend 2 days after the bridge
Hi {first_name},
As promised, here is what Amazing Self gives you, so you can decide whether it belongs next to your weekly check.
Every month you get:
- Amazing Self Magazine, with a Wealth, Health, Relationships and Mindset section. The first edition alone runs to over 140 pages.
- An Amazing Journey Session, a one-on-one interview as audio with a written transcript. One guest was Mark Joyner, the founder of Simpleology, on getting wealth and achieving all your life goals.
- The Abundant Wealth Series: two video presentations a month from Mark Ling, step by step, even if you have no experience.
When you join you also get 6 Guided Visualization Mind Movies and a bonus Amazing Journey Session with Marie Forleo on mastering your health, wealth, relationships and mindset.
It is $37 a month, billed monthly, and you can cancel any time. There is also a 60-day money-back guarantee, which means you can read a couple of issues, take the ideas into your weekly check and see what happens to your own scores before you decide whether it is worth keeping.
[One sentence of your own: why you made this guide or why the weekly check matters to you. Never claim results you have not had.]

Whatever you decide, keep doing the 10-minute check. It works with or without anything I recommend.

P.S. Results vary with the effort each person puts in. No magazine can do the walking for you, but a good one can keep the ideas coming every month.

Keep it honest and it keeps paying. Email only people who asked to hear from you, keep the disclosure line near the link, and never add income claims, health promises, invented reviews or fake deadlines. The guide and the emails are written that way already. See the Rules.
