High Cost Marketing Strategies

Ever wonder how the top producers seem to get so much done and still have time to enjoy with their loved ones?
I did.

I’m about to share with you my personal secret weapon, this is what the big dogs do but don’t tell anyone and they didn’t tell me either I had to figure it out on my own but you won’t have to.

First let me say I’m typing on the first computer I’ve ever owned, I’m no genius by any stretch of the word, I have the tension span of a Golden Retriever, and I’m absolutely lousy at following directions and if you think I created this blog on my own you are crazy!

My little secret is that I’ve been doing this less than a year…. And here’s my biggest secret………

I knew I could never sit in front of a computer for extended periods of time so I removed myself as the bottleneck to my success.

What did I do?

I can tell you I didn’t change.

What I did was find someone who was good at all the things I was bad at, and you can too…..

I took the advice of Timothy Ferris, the author of “The Four Hour Work Week” and I hired a Virtual Assistant (VA).

I use TaskEveryDay.com India because I needed one right away and the reputation for TaskEveryDay.com in Mumbai is outstanding. http://www.taskseveryday.com

Sam can handle tasks in an hour that would take me a full day of banging my head on my desk to complete.

It’s not as simple as it sounds, you have to know how to effectively use a VA and it starts with the very first email, find someone to show you how to do this, as well as what the VA should be doing for you and when.

When working with Top Tier Direct Sales Companies selling high ticket items with generous commission structures you can market in ways MLMer’s with piddly commissions would NEVER EVER dream of.

On average, offline advertising will cost you 10- 25 US to generate a lead offline using classified, magazine display ads, or postcards.

When you consider that the average person in the M L M or network-marketing arena makes just $30 to $100 per new customer or distributor sign-up, a problem arises.

The simple truth of the matter is that for 90% of home business owners, the numbers don’t add up.

For example, let’s say that the average lead cost comes to $15 and that they make 100 for each new customer.

If they have a 10% conversion rate (which is great!), they’re still spending $150 to make $100.

Losing $50 per customer on the front end is usually not an option for the average home business start-up. It might make sense for a more established company that can take the lifetime value of a customer into account, but the average mom and pop isn’t in that kind of position.

Did you know with the CarbonCopyPro Marketing System you can send out a proven postcard campaign the day you set up your system generating commissions of $5000 and more with absolutely zero experience?

Direct mail is a tricky beast you need to understand the “law of large numbers.” Rule of thumb: mail 5 times you will have one great, one bad, and three average. Having dropped about 10 million pieces in my former line of work I know this method very well if you are not committed to 5K plus don’t do it.

Another great method that requires a little research is banner advertising; properly positioned these can be a goldmine by themselves. On the downside if you are not properly trained and using proven banners it can easily be a money pit. CarbonCopyPro provides a full training module and a library of proven banners for us to use.
Do your research on www.Alexa.com and NEVER advertise on a site with a ranking above 200,000.
Banner resources for the lazy (like me) www.AdBrite.com Banners on blogs www.blogads.com Want to go global http://www.247realmedia.ca/EN-CA/
Newbie’s stay away from CPM bidding, trust me! (Cost per thousand views)

Most of the Internet Guru’s today made their fortunes using pay per click advertising, this is the sponsored links you see in your searches on your websites and even in your emails. This is complicated but when understood, you will be able to print money in almost any business you start.

My gift to you today is a complimentary copy of: ‘Google Adwords Made Easy’ - A $67.00 Value–but $0.00 for you as my friend:

http://carboncopypro.com/AdwordsMadeEasy.pdf (85 pages please give time to load)

What I really love about the Internet is that it is an ever changing platform where anyone, even me, with only 10 months experience, 2 days unshaven, and wearing flip flops can be the 800 pound Gorilla on Google.

We use a no-guesswork approach to EVERY aspect of our marketing; we even start you with a 30-day guide walking you through what you should be doing every day.

BOTTOM LINE: what you lack in funds you will have to make up in time, and vise versa, I’m here to make sure you waste as little as possible!

Note: This is just the tip of the iceberg and to implement these strategies you will need the proper training, guidance and support.
