Introduction: IM Checklists Review - Free Traffic Generation Strategies
Kevin Fahey has built a reputation as the master of Internet Marketing Checklists. So much so that he has published 54 volumes of them. His latest is 18 Free Traffic Generations Strategies. He has chosen a slightly different path for launching this one - Volume 54. This is my IM Checklists review - 18 Free Traffic Generation Strategies
Rather than focus on the new checklist, he has focused on giving access to all of 2021 and 2022 releases for a super low $3. What this really is, is a $3 trial for 5 days and then a regular $17.95 per month. Normally he only gives access to the current year releases whenever you start the trial.
I signed up in 2020 to Kevin Fahey's IM Checklist Gold 2020 membership. That has given me access to all the 2020 checklists and each of the new ones he produces – volume 54 is the latest in this series and covers the topic of Free Traffic Generation Strategies.
The checklists – there are always 18 of them in a volume – go through all the steps you need to follow to accomplish a set outcome. In this case the topic is all about Free Traffic Generation Strategies - 18 strategy areas:
- Facebook Groups And Fan Pages
- Facebook Personal Profile
- Youtube Videos
- Tiktok
- Social Media Posting
- Blog Posts
- Login Special Offers
- Banners Everywhere
- Email Broadcasting
- Email Signature
- Pop Up Banners And In Content Banners
- Homepages
- SEO
- Forums
- Guest Posting
Each checklist has 18 items which tells you there is a lot of detail stuff to consider. Take something like Email Signatures - I would be thinking there are just a few things to think about - have one; link to key places you want; change them periodically. The checklist covers things like brand voice, press releases, links to customer success stories, tracking links and the like.
How to Use The Checklists
What the checklist does not do is give you the answers. It gives you the steps and the questions. A lot of these will require you to do your own research to find answers and detail implementation steps. From this comes the real power of getting Private Label Rights (PLR) to the checklists. Once you have done the research, annotate the checklists into a publishable format and you have brand new content you can sell or add to a paid membership site.
Now there are a lot of checklists included in 2021 and 2022 releases. This is the long list of topics
Vol. 37 Consulting
Vol. 38 Securing Your Content
Vol. 39. Split Testing & Optimization
Vol. 40. List Engagement
Vol. 41 KDP & POD Consulting
Vol. 42 Digital Agency Start-up
Vol. 43 Tripwire Offers
Vol. 44 Bing Ads
Vol. 45 Improving Email Delivery
Vol. 46 Google My Business
Vol. 47 Cyber Security
Vol. 48 Niche Websites
Vol. 49 Domain Flipping
Vol. 50 Pinterest Ads
Vol. 51 Using Crypto Currencies In Your Business
Vol. 52 Financial Management For Small Business Owners
Vol. 53 TikTok Marketing (Free & Paid)
Vol. 54 18 Free Traffic Generation Strategies
This is a lot of stuff to work through. My suggested approach is to pick one topic area and work on it. That topic you choose could be something you are having problems with (e.g., email delivery) or something you have been wanting to do but have not yet started (e.g., TikTok Marketing). Grab the checklists and start filling them in with what you already know. Then research the missing gaps to get going on implementing.
For example, in my business I have a problem with Email Deliverability. So I have opened Volume 45 and worked through the checklists. The first one is about choosing email service providers - I have done that and have 3 autoresponder services I use and a personal email service to manage my inbox stuff (no Gmail or Hotmail for me). Checklist 2 starts with the nub of my business problem - proper authentication of my sending domains and then managing open rates and engagement. I have worked through the checklist questions and done the research to find solutions - and day by day my email delivery rates are improving.
What I have chosen to do is frame the checklist completion as a possible product offering - either as a training course, or an eBook guide or a segment of a membership site - starting off by creating an interactive checklist. This can also be used as a lead magnet. I am using Kuicklist to do this
Process in Kuicklist is simple enough
- Choose a template
- Use the IM Checklists to decide how many sections to include. The checklists are all set up in 3 sections - work is done
- Cut and paste the section headings.
- Inside each section, cut and paste the checklist topics as headings. I like to make the language all consistent - all active voice - all action oriented.
- Then the real work begins - do the Google search to find out what each step or question means. Write that up into the description area for each question - include key links (including affiliate links)
- Publish
Publishing can be as HTML or via Wordpress Plugin. In this post, I have just posted in the html as an iframe below
Here is the fully interactive checklist
You can find the interactive checklists standalone here if you want to keep using it
PLR Power and this IM Checklist
This is a Private Label Rights (PLR) product. You can make it your own and sell it as your own. The PLR rights are a little different for the IM Checklists to others I have seen. You can edit them and change them around as much as you like. You can use them as a bonus for a paid product and you can add them to a paid membership site and you can turn them into video training. All that is pretty normal. The limits are that you may not convert them into an eBook and you may not sell them on JVZoo or WarriorPlus. I am going to guess that Clickbank will become off limits though the words do not say that. Of course, you can sell them from your own website as your own product.
The art of using PLR is to brand them as your own. In my review video, I started to show a way to convert them to an interactive checklist using a newish software tool called Kuicklist. This works really easily with a little cut and paste work and with some editing to get the flow and structure the way you would like and also to add in all your affiliate links in the detail.
The other way to use the checklists is to use them for blog post content - take one checklist and write a blog post.

The Funnel: IM Checklists Review
I covered the main offer and the upgrades in the video but here they are again

OTO#1 – Back catalogue of IM Checklist Volumes 1 – 36: 661+ Internet Marketing Checklists – a mere $0.37 each
This is a huge library of material. I must say I have held off buying as I cannot deploy that much stuff in the next few months. I am confident that this material will come up in these offers from time to time. It has been available to me on the IM Checklist website the whole time I have been a member. MNy recommendation is to wait unless you are ready to deploy.

Included in the Pro Versions are VSL’s, three page builder templates (Thrive Theme, Optimize Press, Convertri). Check my review of Affiliate Marketing Mastery here.
Price: $147 Pro / $97 Basic - at $21 apiece for the pro versions these are a bargain. The Pro versions are a no-brainer if you use one of the 3 page builders. I do and deployed this way.

Bonuses: IM Checklists Review
These checklists lend themselves to be built into a paid membership site (PLR rights say it must be paid). I have leaned my bonuses entirely to helping you with creating and setting up a membership site.
I have included 4 killer membership site checklists so you can tick off all the things needed. These also come from Kevin Fahey but are not in the 2021/2022 releases. Membership sites need content – so I have included a membership that helps with that in a bunch of internet marketing and general niches. And lastly, I have included a membership marketing membership which includes training to round out the details you will need to be ble to check off the checklists.
Here is a summary of my bonus offer - a massive $296 value
Kevin Fahey has included bonuses too - they cover his Gold Training Vault raining on how to use PLR and how to launch the products you create using the PLR. You get access to the training in a lot of his products like Traffic Five, 20K Extra, Easy Repetitive System. The links go to my review articles.
I have one more bonus idea not covered in the video. I will convert four of the checklists into an interactive checklist using Kuicklist. You can then deploy these onto your own membership site or website or use as a lead magnet. Send me a purchase receipt to [email protected] and choose which checklists you would like to make interactive. Just give me the names as I have access to the checklists anyway
Note: This applies to 4 individual sheets within each Checklist
Now, I have previously offered a bonus of a one year membership to Stratocharge Your Income Masterclasss for anyone buying the PLR Premium Reports – OTO2. These 7 modules give the foundations for a solid start in Affiliate Marketing. Send me a purchase receipt if you buy those reports – it will take me a while to automate delivery. You can read about the Membership site story here
Summary and Conclusion
My take on it all. These checklists are very well put together. If you have a business problem or target arena covered by the checklists, join up - download the few you are going to use in your trial for the first month or two. Use them. Bundle your lessons into a video course and sell it as your own product or simply add it to your paid membership site. There are a lot of checklists here - commit to purchasing them if you are able to deploy them.
Quite frankly, the training in the Gold Vault is worth the price of the monthly membership. Work through two of those a month and apply the lessons.
The Premium PLR Reports give you 7 products to launch as your own. The Pro version also gives you templates in 3 well know page builders. If you use any opf those and want to run your own products, it is a solid upsell. The key factor though. Will you do the work to deploy them? I must ay I have only done 3 out of the 7.
Free Traffic Shotgun is an easy to follow training program for carpet bombing your social media profiles with a compelling offer and a one page website.
Free Affiliate Funnels is an easy way to get started with affiliate marketing. What you will discover is most social media sites with block direct posting of the WarriorPlus links - so you will need to find ways of bridging the pages. The product includes HTML pages to do that.
