Are offline clients better than online marketing?
Here's "A Stupidly Simple Cash Cow" and it's FREE :-)

Here's A Stupidly Simple Way To Generate "Emergency" Cash NOW!
This is very easy to do and can generate at least $1,000-$1,500 within the next few days!
First, you need to find some local business owners who need what you're about to offer them here. No, you won't be pounding
the pavement or cold calling anyone....they will be calling YOU.
You can use a couple of methods to find these clients.
1. You can simply go to the phone book and look up businesses in your local area. Write down any business that you want. You will
use that list to check the internet in a minute or two, so keep it handy.
2. OR you get an in depth "drill down" listing from GoLeads which will give you tons of information on all businesses in ANY geographic area. Cost is about $15 for unlimited access. :-)
Once you have your list, about 20-25 is all you need to start. Look them up on the internet to see if they have a website. For this particular deal you want them to have a website. (If they don't have a site yet, we can deal with that later.)
Once you have a few of the websites, visit them. Here's what you're looking for: Any business site that does not have a capture
mechanism installed on their FRONT page.
In other words, they need to have an autoresponder opt in form on their front page. If they don't....you're in for some quick cash.
When you have about 10-15 "prospects" send them this letter:
************************************************** *
Mr./Ms. ___________
My name is ______________ and I am a local e-commerce business consultant.
I know your time is valuable, as is mine so I'll get right to the point. If I could show you an unused asset that you ALREADY
have that could make you thousands of dollars, would you be willing to speak with me for 15 minutes?
This free consultation can save you as much as 50% of your entire monthly advertising budget AND bring you brand new customers at the same time! The best part is that you already have it, so the cost to implement this marketing weapon is minimal.
Please call me at (your number) at your earliest convenience to schedule a free "no strings" consultation. I promise you, it will be worth your time.
Yours in business,
Your name
Contact info
************************************************** ***
That's it! Believe me when I say that your phone will ring off the hook. DO NOT mass mail that letter! You really only need to mail
25-30 per week and you'll be busy.
Now that you have the clients calling you, the next step is to set a consultation appointment and meet them. The unused asset they have is of course their website which has no list building capabilities.
The "money is in the list" applies to ALL businesses, not just online marketers. By building a proper list they can cut their
advertising dollars at least in half. Just send a customer blast about an upcoming sale instead of paying $4,000 for a half page ad.
You follow me here? All you have to do is set up an autoresponder opt in form on their existing site! That's it.
I have coaching students who are making $250-$500 a deal with just this method. It's very easy to generate 4, 5 or even 6 deals
per week this way. Heck, it only takes about 20-30 minutes to put the form on their site and that's if you're slow!
I usually visit their site, right click and select "view source" and save it in notepad. Then I open the notepad in an html editor and install the form. (I use Trellian pagebuilder, which is free and allows me to preview the finished site.) Once I'm done I save it as, "theirsitename.html" send it to their programmer and they can swap it. (I charge $50 if I have to load it.)
You can use your autoresponder account or let them get an aweber account with your affiliate link of course. If you use your account then you control their list. In either case this usually leads to "who is going to write the emails" which is another monetization chapter for later....
Just so you know, almost half of all the sites I look at fall into the category of no capture system. It may be more or less where you
live, but it's a rampant problem.... everywhere. Why? Because they simply don't understand e-commerce.
By the way, GoLeads will also give you the name of the business owner, number of employees, etc. Do your first one the hard way if you have to, but it's worth the $15 to be able to put their name on the letter.
Response rates will triple if you use their name and this little trick.
Stamp "CONFIDENTIAL" in red block letters on the front of the envelope. This will make them put your letter in the "open later"
pile instead of straight into the trash. It's a simple but effective strategy especially if you use their name. You can get a confidential stamp at Staples for $5. I've used the same one for years.
Keep this in mind. People sort their mail while standing over the trash can. You do it, so you know it's true. You have to have
something that stands out and says, "This might be important, I'll look at it later."
*NOTE*
Change their cash register and credit card terminal receipt to read, "For Preferred Customer Discounts Sign Up At: (their
website) There is a toll free number on the side of every register and terminal for support. Just call them and they will walk you through changing it. It only takes about 10 minutes.
This strategy is awesome because it does two major jobs when it comes to marketing.
1. It captures all their current customers because everybody reads their receipt, and everybody wants to be a preferred customer to get discounts. It also captures all walk in traffic that actually BUY something. Which leads us to:
2. A list of nothing but BUYERS of their product. No tirekickers or browsers, buyers only! You may need to clarify to them exactly why that's so powerful.
Now you've made a client for life and there are tons of other methods to help them, and generate a great living for you as well.
I've just shared a tested, proven method to generate some serious emergency money FAST! Just copy and paste the direct
mail letter and get to work.
You can do this.
I told you it was stupidly simple, and it works because it really is helping them, and that's what it's all about.
Make it a great marketing day,

I'm also interested in receiving a copy of the thread: successquestions (at) gmail.comPosted 06-08-2009 at 10:07 PM by dallas407

What's wrong with you guys! You guys are still following the "old school fashion" of getting leads. I agree that "money is in the list" but I would never pay for getting the leads not even $15 to GoLeads. Guys when internet is providing me free leads for any business I am doing then why should I waste time in sending the mails and all that stuff. People email me and contact me first before I do contact them. They know virtual more about me what I do and how I do. They chase me rather than I do the chasing. I think this is where the power of leverage works. I exactly know how it feels when we are doing cold calls, prospecting our leads for hours and at the end no or unsatisfactory results. I have better works like self improving my knowledge about the internet and how things are done, merging like a leader and mentoring people to show them how exactly the things are done in right way. Think of it yourself whether you want to be hunted down with highly self-motivated people rather than a hunter. At last its your choice to go with old school way or learn new school ways to get leads for your business.Posted 06-16-2009 at 10:21 AM by prashantchar

David,
Your blog post was like a breathe of fresh air! Thank you so much.
My life is currently in a cluttered mess and I am having trouble seeing things in my life clearly. I spent the day cleaning up the clutter, focusing on my future direction and setting some new goals. It feels good actually changing some things in my life. I have been feeling desparate to say the least and today was a day of action. Anyway, I stumbled upon your blog post and was completely floored and restored at the same time. What an easy yet valuable article.
Thank you so much and I will be looking for future posts.Posted 08-15-2009 at 04:52 PM by DC Marketing
