Building On A Budget

03.07.08 12:43 AM EST

Mike Dillards newest project: Building On A Budget

Even though I don’t know Mike personally, I have been
silently following his career, from his early days with Joe
Schroeder as a coaching client, to the release of Magnetic
Sponsoring, to his newest release, Building On A Budget.

I trust Mike. He’s always put out quality material, and he’s
always paid on time with regards to his affiliate program.

The following report outlines a great strategy,
that admittedly, very few online marketers are
following through on. Or for that matter…very
few online COMPANIES are following through on.

Which means an incredible opportunity for the
smart Marketer who does.

Enjoy!

How to double your online business in 59 days or less…

I’m not the originator of this idea.

Blatantly, I wish I was.

Today, I’m merely a messenger.

A carrier pigeon in fact…

Transferring the knowledge in my head to yours.

Delivering an idea to you that has the
potential to transform just about any
online business almost over-night.

Including yours.

Dan Kennedy does it

Russell Brunsons doing it

Mike Filsaime has jumped on the band wagon

Joe Schroeders BEEN doing it for years

Will you do it too?

Time will tell.

But i gotta tell ya…

Before I reveal this idea, I have to openly
share one heart saddening truth…

9 out of 10 of you who read this will NOT do
anything with it.

Why?

Because it’s boring, slow and doesn’t have the
“SEXY”, “push-button cool factor” that some Internet
Marketing strategies have.

It will take effort

As does anything worthwhile.

So be prepared.

Here we go…

Sometimes I feel like the lone voice in the
wilderness crying out this truth that nobody
believes until they actually try it.

But if you’ve got an online business and you’re
not keeping a database of your customers physical
snail (ie..SLOW) mail addresses and sending them
direct mail at least every month….

then you’re missing the SHIP.

In an UNfashionably kind of way!

What I’ve just revealed to you

This one thing alone…

can literally double your business in 59 days or less.

I love the response I get when i tell online marketers this.

A glazed, blank stare comes over their face.

Like..

“you want to me actually print up a letter, stick
it in an envelope, put a stamp on it and take it
to the post office to be mailed”?

YES!

Absolutely!

That’s what I’m suggesting.

and once again…

The majority of folks will NOT do this.

Think about it..

When was the last time that you ordered something
online that was delivered to you OFFline… did
you get anything in the mail AFTER you purchased?
As a follow-up to your original order?

Did you get an offer to purchase from them again,
perhaps a discount or special bonus to come back?

No?

How interesting is that?

How much MONEY do you think is being lost because
no one thought to ASK you to order from them again?

Example…

I spent over $100 with a certain shipping supply
company last week. Got my order via UPS. And
nothing else. No catalog, no order forms, no
incentive at all to come back to them.

What a loss.

Guys…

This is MILLION dollar advice that’s being shared with you.

Don’t believe me?

Go ask ANY top GURU that’s built a successful Online
presence if they’re currently using OFFLINE tactics
to follow-up with their prospects and customers.

Chances are good that a tiny % of them are.

With an even greater % “planning” to move in
that direction.

Now what about YOU?

Will you follow through on this idea or will you
be like the rest of the crowd that will resist the
idea and therefore will remain 100% reliant using
ONLINE marketing?

Before you answer that…

Do I have your permission to share a 2nd heart
saddening truth with you?

Good.. thanks!

Here’s the 2nd truth…

At first, I RESISTED this idea.

It took multiple times for me to hear the same
idea/strategy being shared on tel-a-seminars, in
ebook transcripts, and in the Copywriting Grab
Bag by Ben Settle before I finally “GOT IT”.

Right now, my portfolio of projects/income
producing activities stands at 90% online and
10% offline.

Before the end of the year, I’ll have those
percentages be at 60% online and 40% OFFLINE.

How?

With a re-structuring.

* Shifting focus from one time payments to creating
programs with a monthly subscription.

* Having a monthly PRINTED follow-up newsletter
sent out to my prospects and customers via regular
US Mail and NOT email.

* More empashis on physical shipments of CDs v/s
downloadable audioes.

* Increased use of padded envelopes, which increase
open rates.

* Increased use of USPS Priority envelopes, which
deliver an unwritten message called Importance.

These are just some of the measures that I am
personally taking so that I can be better armed
to reap the benefits of mixing BOTH online and
offline mediums to create higher profits.

What will you do?

Will you let this idea go to waste?

Will you dismiss it like I did, only to hear
about it again next week from some other “Guru”?

Or will a light bulb begin flashing in your head?

As if to tell you…

This a GREAT idea.

If so, here’s what I do if I was in your shoes.

1) Study Dan Kennedy. http://www.dankennedy.com
Register for his Inner Circle newsletter. There’s
a 3 month trial for less than $10.

2) Order the Copywriting Grab Bag by Ben Settle.
http://bensettle.com/blog/copywriting-grab-bag-book
This an actual tangible book that’s shipped to your
door via USPS Priority Mail. Excellent material.

Study 1st, Play 2nd.

In that order.

You’ll be better off.

Ok…

My mission today is complete.

And that mission was to make you aware of an idea
that has the potential to transform YOUR online
business in the next 59 days or less.

What you do with this new information, is 100%
up to you.

Until next time,

Tim

How to quickly destroy your credibility!

03.05.08 12:50 PM EST

How to quickly destroy your credibility!
Do this once and it’s over for you!

There’s no faster or easier way to destroy your
credibility with your prospects than what I’m
about to share with you right now…

If you haven’t been getting the response you’ve
wanted from your email messages, then this could
very well be the reason as to WHY!

Pay attention…

Because you’re probably already doing it.

I was.

For years even

Until I learned better.

ok…

Lets admit to each other from the very start
that email is free.

Right?

yes.

Ok then…

Answer this

If sending email is FREE, then what’s the COST to send it?

WHAT???

“Tim, what you are smokin man”

Now you’re telling me that there’s a COST to sending email?

Please explain.

Ok, I will.

Listen…

Here’s the BIG lesson:

If you just send people crap, or self serving
stuff, they will very, very, very quickly decide
that your emails are not worth reading.

They’ll hit the delete key without as much as
a blink of an eye.

And you and I probably know guys with massive

Supposedly massive email lists…

“oh, I got a 100,000 on my list..”

But ask them

How many of those people actually read anything
you send them anymore?

(Umm?)

Interesting isn’t it.

It’s NOT the SIZE (Quantity) that matters the most

It’s HOW you use (Quality) it that matters the most

I don’t waste my customers OR my prospects time
with nonsense and so when I do say something (like
right now) they tend to at least consider it and
it’s credibility

Opps…

Did I just say the word CREDIBILITY?

So you’re either adding to your credibility with
each email or reducing your credibility. And it’s
not an incremental thing….or a gradual downward
spiral.

It’s almost like an “on/off” switch.

You can make your credibility deeper and deeper,
so that there it’s incremental…or a gradual
UPWARD trend to where they know, like and trust
you. You do this by adding VALUE to your prospects
lives in the form of good, relevant CONTENT.

But in terms of losing your credibility, that’s
an “off” switch.

And once that switch is off, that’s it!

You’re not turning that back with another email.

It’s over.

Remember this ABOVE all else…

Your prospects/customers PERCEPTION of you
is their REALITY.

(Read that again)

Right or wrong, that’s how it is.

And one way to sway that PERCEPTION to the
credibility side is to NOT send CRAP to your
email list. Even though sending email is FREE,
it can very well end up being very expensive.

Here’s what i suggest…

Put more energy into your email promotions.

The late Gary Halbert (he was a Direct Marketing
Master), once spoke about sending email as if it
were a physical letter that you were spending .41
cents to send to someone

Would you just fire off any old thing or would
you take a little more care to whatever it was
that you were sending out?

You’d take more care if you were sending out
100,000 printed letters v/s sending 100,000 emails.

For the obvious reasons such as increased time
involvement, more expense in the form of printing
and shipping costs, etc…

Make them (your emails) more interesting, make
them worthwhile, make them good enough that somebody
will read them and say… “Wow! I’m going to save
this one…” or “Wow! I’m going to pass that one
on…” or “Wow! I’m going to study that one
because that was fascinating”.

Email is free in that it doesn’t cost you any money,
But it is not free from the point of view of the
effort that you’ve got to put into to to yield value
from it.

if you think about it…

Everything I’m saying today is common sense.

And it comes from one hand, experience.

But on the other hand it’s always doing your
best to always put yourself in the shoes of
the prospect. It’s the most valuable thing
you can ever do.

Hope this helps you!

Until next time,

Tim
