200-Proof Marketing

If you look in the Money and Employment section of Clickbank, it’s dominated by “Get Rich Quick” type products that promise big money for little or no work.

I bet very few of their customers ever make a dime from their programs yet those same customers will most likely keep buying Get Rich Quick products.

They dream of being rich and living the good life, yet they either can’t figure out how or their too lazy to actually work for it. The ‘how’ is easy. It’s on this website for free to anyone willing to read it.

Here’s something I want you to try for educational purposes…

First, create a little Home-Biz Opt-in webpage on a domain of your choice. Make the domain name something small and easy to remember if possible. The purpose of this webpage is only to gather names and email addresses.

Now call up your local newspaper and place a little classified ad in the Employment section (it’s really cheap). Make that ad read something like this:

Earn up to $10,000/Month
All from the Comfort of Home
(Your website here)

Now sit back and watch what happens. I bet you’ll be surprised.

What do you do with your new subscribers?

Just setup an Auto-Responder Sequence and promote affiliate products in the Business Opportunity area.

Easy Money…

Keep running the ad and work on improving your opt-in rate as well as the conversion rate from your mailings. From there (if it’s profitable), start spreading to more and more newspapers.

I haven’t done this (I’m trying to focus on product creation right now), but I know someone who is making Millions doing something similar (on a larger scale).
