Lazy Information Marketing- $14,000 in a Week
Sep 10th
If you cottoned on to the idea that information marketing can be very powerful then you might be interested in this story. It’s about a friend of mine who sold nothing but thin air and a promise, and made around $7,000 which was half of the $14,000 owed to him after the revenue for that WEEK was split up between himself and his business partner. I watched him do the whole thing and thought you might like a little inside scoop on how you could do it yourself?
Thought you might. Lets get into it.
What Did He Sell?
Nothing.
Well thats not strictly true, but when he started selling his product he actually didn’t have a product. He had no content at all. He had a vague idea of what he was going to do, but he didn’t know any of the specifics.
He was selling a coaching course which he was going to deliver as a webinar. He signd up to gotowebinar and got a month’s free trial and ran the whole course on there. He had an idea about what he was going to teach and refered to it slightly in the sales page, but he had not prepared any content or items. All he had was a concept and made a promise to teach people this principle. That was it. Real simple.
When people purchased they signed up to a sign up page (an aweber list) and they were sent an online survey asking them when was the best time for them to take part in a live webinar. They collected and analysed the the results from the survey and determined the times when the most amount of people could attend. They prepared a few slides on powerpoint, but most of the content was screen cam of them browsing the web and actually showing the people the system LIVE!
They then recorded the webinars, emailed them out to people, and they are selling the recorded webinars in a couple of weeks time (my reliable sources inform me). So not only did he make good money quickly, he is going to sell that content all over again and make a lot more.
On top of that, as an after-thought, they also setup a member’s only forum. Pretty nifty when you put all that together isn’t it?
How Did He Sell It?
He and his associate in this venture sold it as a special offer on a forum, and made little reference to the content of the coaching, but provided testiomonials from previous successes, showed income shots (social proof) told them what the coaching course would do for anyone who attended (i.e. make good money using free traffic etc). It was reasonable copy, but I was amazed how well the course sold considering how vague they were about the content.
They promoted it using the forum, twitter and a couple of small email lists of a few hundred people.
How Much He Sell For?
$147. Not bad huh?
They did about 6 week’s coaching for this, two sessions (on average) a week.
Conclusion
I just gave you a blueprint for a new information product and showed you exactly how to sell it.
Now you might not be ready to do something like this, but I hope this post does two things.
1. Show you how easy it can be to create products, revenue streams and content.
2. Inspire you to start thinking of your own ideas for your business.
To your success and till next time.
Alex, out.
How to Earn Money Online With Your Back to the Wall
Sep 9th
How do you earn money online when you REALLY need to? This is a pretty big and important question, because so many people who buy “make money online” questions are asking it A friend of mine asked me about the other day. He has just taken some time off work, but still has some big bills to pay. Due to the nature of his job and leave, he has sacrificed some salary income for this time off. He asked me how I thought he should go about making money online in such a short amount of time (around two weeks).
I shared with him some thoughts I had, based on what I know about his skills etc, but this question got me thinking about what I might do, so I thought I’d make a really quick post on some of the ideas I brainstormed when putting the question to myself.
1. I have talked about the “product launch dominator” method in one of my past posts, whereby you become a high-performing affiliate very quickly for an up-coming product launch. The trouble is, you may not find a product you want to promote at the right time if you are in a race against the clock, so that doesn’t always do you any good, and it’s not a guaranteed way of generatin income.
2. I am into Internet marketing, so I might create a PLR package, or offer my services on the Warrior forum as a sepcial offer. This isn’t for eveyone, and will only really work for people who have built a reputation on the forum and actually contributed to it. The WSO section fo the Warrior Forum is not a virtual ATM machine for any and all aspirational online entrepreneurs or would-be scammers. I really believe that the Warrior Forum is a valuable informational resource and should be treated with the utmost respect.
3. If I had a blog, website or web presence of any significane or value in a niche, then I would be well tempted to go and sell some ad-space on it. It’s not something I have done a lot, but it is certainly something I would consider.
4. I would work VERY hard to create an excellent digital information product and start selling it like there was no tomorrow. I’d give out review copies to get some testiomonials for social proof on the sales page and to generate some buzz and depending on the market i might consider selling on the Warrior Forum and Digitalpoint (whilst always keeping within the rules). If I didn’t have money for PPC, I’d dedicate my time to running an effective article marketing campaign to drive as much free, qualified traffic as quickly as possible to my sales page.
Ultimately though, the business model isn’t too important. Working out how to make money quickly comes down to a three-step-process.
1. Assess what assest you have. What are you good at, do you have a website or an email list? What can you leverage quickly?
2. You have to work out the exact figure you need to raise, and the time you need to do it. Divide the figure by the number of days it will take, to work out how much on average you should be earning a day.
3. Wok hard. If you really need this money and need it quickly, then the time for excuses has long passed. Get your head down, and get working. Work full days, long days and some nights until you get the results you need. Once you have worked hard, you’ll reduce your workload and work time by figuring out what works, and dedicating more of your time on the processes that work.
Ultimately, blood, sweat and tears with a little bit of strategy is what will get you money when you really need it and your back is up against the wall. No one gets successful through being lazy. I guarantee it.
