3 Jul2008 Real Offline Promotion TipsPosted by: Shannon Lilly in General Marketing
Although I am glad I did that I neglected you all by not providing any actual tips or techniques for it so today I am going to reverse that and post about some real techniques you can use TODAY if you want! Lets get started, as you can see I am not in the mood to waste time today Flyer’s/Business Cars: Lets face it, nearly everyone is interested in something and we can take advantage of that. One way you could be very successful in getting new subscribers / direct traffic is by making up a couple thousand flyers and then put them on every ones car in the parking lot. Just make sure there is no security around when you do it coz they will ask you to leave. (PS, Don’t you dare put one on my car, just email me and I’ll visit!). Tshirts: I have talked about this before and you can still do it fairly cheap, make up a couple dozen Tshirts and give them to family and friends / other bloggers in your niche. Ask them to wear them and maybe even take a pic and send it to you for the world to see. A lot of people will probably take you up on that and its worth every penny a shirt costs if you can get it into the right hands. Get On The Radio: People to this day still love to listen to the radio in there cars at work and dozens of other places. You can use this to your advantage by calling up the radio station and ask them how much a 30 second plug would be to advertise your business. It may be expensive to some but the return you get from it could be great, depends what the audience is really. Give Away Free Cookies / Lemonade: OK so this one is a bit weird but guess what IT WILL WORK! All you have to do is go to your local library and setup a small table with your laptop (make sure you have a Internet connection) and have a basket or box of cookies with some lemonade. Tell people you will give them one or the other for free if they sign up to your blog which is about blah blah blah. You may get a couple who unsubscribe when they get home but most likely they will stick around and remember that free cookie you gave them! And that’s about it for now, there are literally dozens of ways you can market via offline promotion. These are just a few of my favorite ones! 2 Jul2008 MMO Services (What Actually Works?)Posted by: Shannon Lilly in General MarketingI know you all continually look for new ways to make money online and its my pleasure to present them to you as they come to me.

30 Jun2008 Selling Products To Make Money Online (Part 1)Posted by: Shannon Lilly in Series PostsHave you ever wondered if its possible to sell products and make money online? Well I am going to find out once and for all while I document my every move for the world to see! I am starting an online training company called SimpleTutors.com. The site will focus on digital training of every kind from Web Design and Photoshop to Coding and Pc help. Its still in the early stages of development but I have just completed the logo and could not resist showing you all it! Be sure and bookmark the site SimpleTutors.com for the future as you never know what you might need to learn!
Let me explain my madness… I used to run a training company called 3dgamics.com but closed it down after finally realising I just didn’t have any 3d graphic skills so I was not qualified to teach others. While the business was overall a flop the last year I ran it I did make about 2,000.00 profit. That’s not huge but it is $150.00/mo business on the net. 3dgamics was my first real company / project that was somewhat successful. Although i closed it down I did learn a lot from it and I learned how to deal with people better. Since closing it I have had thoughts of starting a training company in a bigger market of which I am now finally ready to do with SimpleTutors.com Anyhow now that you know the backhistory to the idea let me explain my plans and all that kind of stuff. Basically I am starting the site and stuff on my own with $0.00 down. My plan is to contact decent artists, coders and pc gurus about the project and get them involved by having them record the training material. They will record the lessons and send them to me via download or on disc, then I will take the lessons and compile them into downloads and DVDs to sell. When a CD or Download is sold they will get a 50% cut of each sale made. This offers them a great incentive to create the lessons because they know I will be doing everything else including promotion of the site which in reality is the highlight of this series I’m starting. I am going to outline and discuss each step I make marketing wise for this new company. That way when it achieves success you all can follow in my foot steps with your own companies and products. To my knoweledge every product business can be marketed in nearly the same way so it should be a great way for all of you to learn! What do you think, do you like this idea and series start? Tell me about it by commenting below and be sure and stay tuned for updates to SimpleTutors.com where we make it simple to learn! |
