08 Jun 08 U.S. President Teaches You Marketing!

Dear Friend:

Crazy as it sounds, the next U.S. President, whether it’s McCain or Obama, is gonna help you sell more of your stuff.

“Oh, yeah. Right Marlon. Let’s see you ’splain this one to me…”

No seriously. Read this email for the complete scoop. It ain’t gonna cost you a cent, pound or peso. So wadda you got to lose?

Well, it’s election time again in the U.S. You guys and gals in UK, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Canada and so forth are probably even hearing about it.

The candidates are making their final whistle stops. It’s a good time to talk the marketing of a President.

There’s a lot YOU can learn from this year’s election that can show you the path to selling more of your stuff.

Isn’t it kind of strange that the most prestigious job in the U.S. comes down to one thing –

M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G!

See, marketing is about selecting MARKETS for a product or service and designing an APPEAL to that MARKET that will get a response.

That’s what marketing is. The study of and appeal to markets. I bet a lot of people teaching marketing don’t even understand that.

Yeah, you have the traditional marketing mix of product, price, promotion and distribution (or place).

But at heart, it’s just about markets. Who is in the market for MY product (or service).

Think of it like this: The President IS a product that is sold to markets. Who are those markets?

Gays, lesbians, religious groups, right wing, left wing, investors, educators, labor unions, moms ‘n dads,
corporations, small businesses, and so forth.

You will hear each of the candidates specifically pick out certain of those groups and make an appeal or promise to them.

The appeal or promise is essentially a HEADLINE. It’s the articulation of a promise or a benefit.

A candidate is in the JOB of picking out groups or markets and making a PROMISE to them of a BENEFIT.

If you WATCH TV, you’ll see them speaking to different groups, making appearances at schools, labor union rallies, army groups, educators and so forth.

All in an effort to GET PUBLICITY for a marketing message delivered to a specific group or audience.

They don’t give a speech ’cause they wanna get their message to the local PTA. They do it because they’ll get national media coverage and gratus media coverage.

So instead of paying for radio ads or TV spots, they get advertising without forking over any green stuff.

You’ll notice they use all the media: TV, radio, billboards, publicity, direct mail, telephones, and more
I’m not thinking of right now.

Heck, they even have the equivalent of a commissioned affiliate program — you help ME get elected, and you’ll get pork barrell legislation back in return, or you’ll get a cushy cabinet position…or somethin’ along those lines.

What can YOU learn from this?

What GROUPS are you aiming specific promises or messages at for your product or service?

Even the President lives and dies by marketing. And if he or she needs to know it, don’t you think YOU better know it too?

Best wishes,
Marlon Sanders

you can get a better job, start a more successful

25 Feb 08 A New Way To Make Money With eBay

When you hear “eBay” and “money” in the same sentence you’re probably think of becoming an eBay seller.

You place product listings in the eBay marketplace, buyers bid, you pay your eBay seller fees and what you have left is your profit margin.

There is, however, another way to build a business which still revolves around eBay but which doesn’t involve you selling a single thing in the eBay marketplace.

This “other way” opportunity is based on the eBay affiliate program and a great tool which makes entry into this opportunity not only possible but also super easy. This tool is called “Build A Niche Store“.

Now if you don’t know – an affiliate program enables you as an individual internet entrepreneur to promote the products of a company in exchange for a commission on all sales that you refer.

You are basically operating as an internet middleman and connecting internet browsers to particular products and companies through you own network of websites and marketing methods.

If we return to the eBay affiliate program, eBay actually invites you to promote all of the product listings in the eBay marketplace and in exchange for your efforts will pay you up to 75% of the revenue they make from each sale you refer plus up to $35 for each new active eBay member you refer.

You can have a read about the eBay.com affiliate program here

What this means is that you can earn up to three quarters of eBay’s revenue simply for connecting people to the products listed in the eBay marketplace.

Not only do you get to partner with the best branded marketplace in the world, you also get access to and control over ALL of the products listed in this marketplace. The eBay product inventory becomes YOUR product inventory and yet you do NOT have to stock items, deal with customers, organize shipping or process refunds.

You are no longer limited to selling only those products which you can buy and sell for a profit margin. You can choose ANY niche market and promote those eBay products relevant to your chosen niche outside of the eBay marketplace, funnelling targeted traffic through to eBay and into your own affiliate commissions.

Golf clubs, sewing kits, laptops, dog collars, diamond rings, Florida real estate…

If you know eBay you know how BIG it is – there are NO limits.

At this point you might be thinking - well this sounds interesting but in reality is there any money in it? Well, here’s the shocker – eBay’s top affiliates make over 1 million dollars a month. That’s right – 8 figures a year without stocking, selling or shipping a single thing!

Now eBay does provide some basic free tools to help you succeed as an eBay affiliate and build an affiliate business BUT it has been the development of a tool outside of eBay that has really opened this up as a legitimate business opportunity.

The tool, as I mentioned earlier, is called “Build A Niche Store” and what it enables you to do is build eBay affiliate websites targeted to any eBay niche you want. These act as the medium through which you funnel targeted visitors to eBay.

Here are a couple of examples, one targeting Race Cars and the other Golf
Equipment:

Paintball eBay Affiliate Website
Golf eBay Affiliate Website

As you can see, these are professional looking websites that contain all of those eBay products related to their target niche inside a searchable store format, each of which automatically contains your eBay affiliate id.

These stores then automatically update as new products are listed for sale and old listing expire from the eBay marketplace and the software has built in development features which enable you to create new store pages, add content to these pages, create content pages, modify your template etc etc.

Basically, in the space of about 10 minutes (once you are familiar with how the software works) you can create a fully functional eBay affiliate website targeted to the niche market of your choice.

Your store content is all search engine friendly which will provide the foundation for attracting targeted traffic from the search engines and you can then use the development features to attract more targeted visitors which will in turn mean more eBay affiliate commissions.

It really is a brilliant concept and I’ve been hearing great things about the guys behind the project and the member forum which you get lifetime access to when you purchase the product.

Build A Niche Store comes with a step by step user manual which will walk even the most technically inexperienced through setting up their eBay affiliate website, 9 professional template layouts which can be customized (from inside your admin panel) to match your target niche, lifetime member forum access, comprehensive product support and possibly most importantly – an UNLIMITED domain license which means you can build as many of these niche websites as you want for the small one time fee.

Think about how many niches eBay caters to!

How big could your eBay affiliate business be?!

This product gets my full recommendation.  I have made more money from this one affiliate program than any other - and with less effort – check it out today…

Myth #4: Your Site Must Focus On One Subject To Rank
Myth #5: High PageRank Means Good Rankings

11 Dec 07 How to legally steal a business

This is the title of an out-of-print ebook which lays out in great detail the ins and outs of buying and selling businesses.  However, there is an ebook version of it;  but it’s safely concealed as a secondary product at this web site:  Why S.O.B.’s Succeed and Nice People Fail In Any Business - the first product is a good ebook costing a mere $10 (ok, a few cents less!) - and it gives you access to the original manuscript by Robert L Morrison, “How to legally steal a business” - for a mere $17.  So, for a total of $27, you’ve got a fantastic amount of useful information at your fingertips.

Go for it :)

11 Dec 07 eMail Marketing

Has the response to your e-mail promotions taken a nose-dive?

… Then you will want to pay close attention to this article! If the response to your e-mail marketing promotions has taken a nose-dive recently, hear me out on this: Everytime someone announces that they’ve just discovered the “next big thing” in online marketing, I’m naturally a little
bit skeptical.

Sowhen I heard that world-renowned Internet marketing expert Corey Rudl has a “revolutionary” new product, I
wasn’t sure what to expect!

But then I read his article — the one that’s included here. And let me just say that I know my marketing techniques will be drastically different from now on!

I strongly suggest that you read this!

From: Internet Marketing Center

Over the past few months, a number of my subscribers have been asking me about the latest marketing technology to hit the Internet.

It’s called “direct-to-desktop” publishing, and right now,
it’s the exclusive property of Fortune 500 companies who are paying tens of thousands (even hundreds of thousands!) of dollars to have hotshot developers create custom software that lets them cash in on the new technology.

Direct-to-desktop publishing gives these elite companies the kind of advantages that most Internet marketers can only dream about…

  • 100% guaranteed message delivery
  • Instant messages that appear in full color and sound, right
    on a customer’s computer desktop
  • An exclusive, private communication channel with
    loyal customers and subscribers


All in a customized, branded window with their company logo at the top.

When you visit one of these companies’ web sites (think online music stores, sports fan sites, entertainment sites, and so on), you’ll see an offer that says something like “Click this button to
receive instant updates direct to your desktop.”

Click the button and you’ll download a small, customized “reader”
application that lets your computer receive messages from the company.


The advantages of ‘Direct-to-desktop’

Direct-to-desktop publishing lets you send HTML messages directly to your customers’ desktops — instantly, reliably, and electronically — without having to wrestle with e-mail filters, bounce backs, or competition.

Once customers sign up, they don’t have to check their e-mail or visit your web site to get your latest news or updates. A flashing desktop icon alerts them as soon as they receive a message from you — and all they have to do is click to read it.

It’s brilliant. The system doesn’t use e-mail, yet it is 100% opt-in
– subscribers simply turn off the program if they wish to stop
receiving messages.


It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved: Subscribers receive messages only from companies they trust. No spam, no pop-ups, no third-party ads… just legitimate messages from a sender they want to hear from. And companies get to deliver their messages without ISPs or e-mail filters getting in the way.

The right technology at the right time


Here’s the bottom line: E-mail marketing is getting more and more
complicated. While e-mail is still a powerful marketing tool (Proof:
I used it to make more than $2.4 million last year, and I’m on track to do the same again this year), these days you need to work harder than ever to keep in touch with your list of customers and subscribers.


Here’s why:

  • Subscribers change their e-mail addresses, leaving you without a way to contact them.
  • Your legitimate messages get wrongfully trashed by overactive junk mail filters.
  • People’s free e-mail accounts fill up quickly, causing your messages to bounce back.
  • And even when your e-mail makes it into a subscriber’s inbox, it can get lost in a sea of newsletters, personal messages, promotions, and spam if you don’t know what you’re doing.

For these reasons, many marketers are looking for opportunities to use this new direct-to-desktop technology as a “partner” tool
that works hand-in-hand with their e-mail and advertising campaigns.

Unfortunately, there are still a few problems with it…

The ‘big guys’ have cornered the market

Right now, the Fortune 500 companies have cornered the market on direct-to-desktop publishing. And for good reason — they’ve been the only ones who could afford it!

These companies have paid huge sums of money to have software developers convert their company materials into compatible content. They’ve hired professional designers to come up with attractive, customized “reader”applications they can send to their subscribers. And they’ve put tons of money into developing flashy graphics, streaming audio, and video clips to send out.

There is a tremendous opportunity for marketers to be at the very front of the curve, taking advantage of this red-hot new technology to get secure, direct access to the desktops of your customers… But unfortunately, it’s next to impossible for the average person to get set up with direct-to-desktop technology right now.

You need to know a programming language like XML to create your content “feed.” And unless you’re willing to hire some expensive software developers, your subscribers will have to use a generic “newsreader” application to receive your messages.

Where this new technology is heading

The current situation of direct-to-desktop publishing reminds me of the way things looked on the Internet five years ago, when most
companies didn’t have web sites yet. Only a few highly funded Internet start-ups (remember the dot-com boom?) had the money, software, and skills to develop a professional site.

Then a few companies started looking at how to make web design accessible to the public — and now, user-friendly web design software has made it easy for anyone to create a professional-looking e-commerce web site in minutes!

The same thing happened with e-mail marketing. At first, it was just a few entrepreneurs testing the water to see if there was a way to avoid paying postage for direct mail promotions — and now, thanks to e-mail automation software, it seems like every company is using e-mail to distribute their promotions and newsletters.

And now, the same situation has come up again. This technology will become mainstream in the future, but it’s those who get in on it FIRST who will see the biggest profits from it. And at the moment, it’s just now affordable for all of us smaller companies that don’t make billions of dollars a year.

I’ll let you in on a ‘little secret’…

I know from talking to Corey that he just didn’t think it was
fair that Fortune 500 companies are the only ones that can
afford this technology, while marketers like you and me have to settle for inferior, stop-gap solutions.
And I know that he and his team have been quietly working on a solution to allow “regular” small online business
owners start using “direct-to-desktop” technology
for a tiny fraction of what those Fortune 500 companies are
paying…
Just recently, Corey released his powerful new solution to a select group of his customers and subscribers… complete with customization, branding, and tracking tools BEYOND what these $10,000+ solutions typically offer. And now YOU have the opportunity gain a HUGE advantage by making sure you reach the market with this FIRST — long before your competitors even know it exists!

Go to: http://www.marketingtips.com/desktop/t/923879


but don’t delay, because like Corey said, the marketers
who use this first will be the ones to see the biggest profits.

I hope this information helps you kick your online marketing into the next generation!

09 Dec 07 Frustration

This is just a quick rant - to all companies who run their own affiliate programs through third party providers such as Linkshare, CJ, Shareasale and others.

Firstly - they work fine in their individual ways.  You wouldn’t really expect them to operate identically.  However, from the point of view of recruiting affiliates, there are some issues.

As someone who has just started marketing affiliate products fairly aggressively, I find it frustrating beyond belief when I have to wait several aeons to be accepted into a program.  I select programs to promote thus:

  • I select a niche
  • I actively seek out merchants whose products are related to that niche
  • I apply to be an affiliate - and if I have to wait, then the chances are that the mood has left me and I move on somewhere else.  I don’t always have a lot of time to add products to a web site.  I need to get accepted straight away and then add the relevant code to the web site I am building, right there and then.
  • I love the service offered by GoldenCan (some of the time!) - and also the Shareasale Page-Builder.  That’s an ace product, although I would love to save preferences for the general way I use it.
  • I also love the downloadable csv information from Shareasale - I can manipulate it to suit my own ends on my own pc, without bothering a server somewhere.

I know that prestige companies like to be  selective;  but if I am using one company in preference to others because of the ease of use, then I suspect that I won’t be alone in that.

Conclusion - a lot of big companies may be losing the chance to have extra sales because they’re not providing the wee guys (like me!) the appropriate information in a timely manner to let me work my magic!
