Exit Coach Radio-Interview with Bill Black




re: exit coach radio

I recently visited with Bill Black of Exit Coach Radio for a short interview about how any business owner can co-opt the power of new media and attract more clients and prospective clients.

Check out the interview here.


By the way, I did mention the power of mobile advertising and how you can have something brand new to offer your customers: access to a brand new "daily deal" app.

re: I retained the ambiance...

I spent a fantastic couple of hours with my favorite writer, Charles Hugh Smith, to talk about his latest insights into our funky economy.  Charles' latest ruminations can be read in " Get a Job, Build a Real Career and Defy a Bewildering Economy" 

Here's what he had to say about the book:

This is really taking off...

re:a great way to build a list


Mobile apps are hot right now and for the foreseeable future

Imagine having access to an app that you could give away on your website, blog, or Facebook page
Or, if you do speaking engagements, you could offer it to attendees

Print up some postcards and share them at events (fairs, farmers' markets, etc.)

Imagine having something NEW to say when you are trying to build relationships with business owners,
families and individuals..
And a way to gather their names and emails so that you can keep in touch and keep growing that relationship
(which leads to sales of your other products and services)

I don't know how to make lead generation any simpler, cheaper or
potentially LUCRATIVE than this.

All you have to do is:
  • Turn on your smart phone
  • Go to the Google Play or Iphone store
  • Search "PAID2SAVE"
  • Download the app, use special download code 90435
It's possible your local area doesn't have much of a network yet (which is actually a plus for YOU)
So, you might want to introduce your favorite merchants to it by offering them a free merchant account.

So, download the app right now before you forget
And start telling others about it..
You might be pleasantly surprised to find how quickly your list growns
And... you might even get a rebate check in the mail

PS: Looking for ways to promote this without spending too much money?  Make a Vistaprint OVERSIZED postcard like this insurance advisor did.  Check it out:

http://www.mediafire.com/view/wxq8kr8bxfo3f0d/document(1).pdf

The oversized cards make more of an impact than ordinary business cards.  If you need the graphics I used, call me M-F during normal business hours and I will send them to you.  Also, don't forget to Google for Vistaprint discount codes.  Input these at checkout and save tons of money.

Become a Paid2Save Connector and Get Paid...

re: becoming a connector










by Rick Liuag

Paid 2 Save has just announced that starting immediately, everyone who simply downloads a free app will become part of their new  CONNECTOR program/

When you download the free Paid 2 Save mobile app, you will automatically get a unique ID code and a replicated website automatically.

Then, simply share the app with friends,relatives, and co-workers.  They can then use their unique ID code to activate the app. You make 5% cash every time those people use the app, and when they distribute it to others, THEY will make 5% when it gets uses.

That's right.. download the app for free .... share it with others, and get paid 5% cash every time they use it. Mention the merchant network to any merchants in your local area, if they sign up for FREE to promote their deals and coupons you get paid 10% cash every time someone redeems a coupon from that merchant.

 NO PAYING ANY MONEY, NO SELLING, NO RECRUITING... just download the app...use it to save on local deals... share the app with other individuals and merchants for free... Get paid 5% or 10% cash every time it's used or a coupon is redeemed. ...that simple. EVERYONE can now make 5% cash by sharing the app with others.

However, a Connector only makes money on those individuals who they share the app with (1 level) and 10% of the coupons redeemed by any merchants they enlist on the network for free. This just may be for YOU if: you don't really want to have to work to make money you don't want to have to sell anything to make money you don't want to have to recruit anybody to make money you don't want to have to spend any money to make money.

To download the app and become a free connector go here:

www.bestsmartphoneapp.com
 
You might consider becoming a brand partner affiliate now before this app goes viral.
The paid brand partner affiliate gets a "check match" of every free connector in their hierarchy... and the app volume and merchant volume created by the free connectors contributes to the brand partner's commission pool from the matrix.

For example if there are 10,000 free connectors in your hierarchy who've downloaded the app and shared it with friends and relatives.... and hypothetically in any given month 3,000 of them make $5 from the apps they shared..... the brand partner affiliate "check matches" every one of those free connectors or in this scenario 3,000 X $5 = $15,000 created by people downloading the app for free and telling their friends to do the same...

This could make this app go viral on college campuses etc... This makes the Paid 2 Save business GREAT for fundraisers, charitable organizations and associations.

So the earning potential for brand partner affiliates has just grown geometrically..... no business has ever done this type of "cash payment for referring friends" to download a mobile app

This is a great tool for growing an email list to market any product or service.

Get your app right now while it's still free by going to:

Turn on your smart phone
Go to the app store or Google Play
Search "PAID2SAVE"
Download the app, using code 90435

Merchants, The #Antigroupon Has Arrived

re: Paid2Save...

http://Paid2Save.com/tammydeleeuw 

By Tammy de Leeuw

I've been wanting to find a way to hop on board the mobile advertising bandwagon without having to spend a fortune to do so.  And I think I may have finally found it.

Paid2Save is what I like to call the "anti-groupon."   Merchants have long complained about Groupon's business model, saying that it was restrictive, costly, and there was no way to control deals once they were launched.

We've all heard the horror stories of stores having to close because their daily deals bankrupted them.

Well, the folks at #paid2save found ways to fix the flaws and make merchants a lot happier.  As this network grows, I look for it to be a significant player in the mobile advertising space.

Check out these resources and see how Paid2Save can help you, whether you are merchant or service provider, affiliate marketer, or consumer looking for a great deal.  Watch the short slideshow below and you'll see how it works, and where you can learn more.

Three Marketing Strategies Financial Advisors and Agents Are Using Right Now to Attract More Clients

re: if you don't build it...they will never come


by Tammy de Leeuw
Button Pusher @ The Marketing Blend-O-Matic

Stop telling me it's hard to find new clients...
That your emails aren't working anymore...
That you spent $4,000 for a mailer and NOTHING HAPPENED...



















Because I know that some of you are just sitting around waiting for things to happen...
Instead of making phone calls, knocking on doors..
You know,... being active.

Here are three things that some insurance agent friends of mine are doing RIGHT NOW that are working to attract and RETAIN clients.

1. Providing great content.  My friend Teresa Kuhn has a great website, blog and radio show that all serve to make her more interesting to potential clients.

Teresa has managed to book some of today's most intriguing and controversial thought leaders as guests on her show.  For example, forecaster Harry Dent was on the show to give his financial predictions for 2014- GREAT STUFF!

Our mutual affiliate, Heath Frantzen, is producing lots of quality reports for the agents who work with him.  His site at www.deltabusinessservices.com has lots of resources for people looking to sell businesses.

2. Finding ways to use mobile marketing and other emerging technologies.    Rick Liuag, an insurance agent from Corona, California finally discovered a way for financial professionals to hop on the mobile advertising train and use it to reach more people.

Check out the merchant video here:

You can down the app for free if you have a smartphone.  Check it out for yourself here:

You can hear Rick talk about how he uses mobile marketing to get more clients:

Listen to your recorded conference
from the phone
Dial: (559) 726-1099
Access code: 183341
"Most recent recording"

And here is the MERCHANT video

3. Keep doing live events, just do them smarter.   Gary Boatman, CFP, a financial and tax planner in Pennsylvania, has built his own event center and fills it with locals who want to learn about everything from Obamacare to social security to becoming their own finance companies.    Gary is doing everything right to ensure these events are successful and that people in his area are talking about him and what he does.

The important thing to remember about all these success stories is that all these advisors chose something that worked well with their own values, work ethics, and personalities. 

When you find something that resonates with you, don't be a wallflower.  DO IT!  Your customers  need what you have to offer, but they have to find you first.
