Dan Hollings Mobile Success Formula

I'm not a past student... but I did join this the morning after the webinar a few days ago. 90% of the information isn't new to me (although I liked how he presented it), but I did join for the 10% that I have been unfamiliar with and wanted more info on. (Bar code stuff).

I know that probably seems crazy lol - to pay that kind of money for that part of it, but in my thoughts, anything that I can gain knowledge wise is worth it, as he mentioned, to be able to earn it back probably before even the second (full) webinar.

Got into the site, downloaded the stuff that's in there now and took a look at it all. Again - not a whole lot new to me BUT I've been working on this and have done a ton of hours of researching in the recent while. Wish I'd had this before I spent all those days... :rolleyes:

The downloads in there right now aren't hugely revealing, because I think a lot of that will be on the paid webinars starting next week.

The directories and resources are huge to me (worth the price) as I said because of the time I'd spent - and that alone, his lists are MUCH larger than what I'd found.

Installed the toolbar/igoogle page, and was a little ticked off at first to be honest because MY igoogle page disappeared and was replaced by his. Actually I was quite bugged, because I had a few feeds from sites that I read daily (not junk, but market stuff).

However, after I calmed down (LOL) - I realized that I could still get to my regular igoogle page simply by clicking "home"

There is one slide show "conversation skit" of "The Consultant and the Other Guy" which was totally humorous to me but absolutely 100% true, you could see it play out.

Would have liked to print that one, but it has background pics which just use up my ink, so I didn't.

The blueprints are useful too

These are backup resources/files though, as he said (and as I mentioned above), most will come with the webinars.

Haven't gotten Tim's bonus yet though even though it was promised... (And sent 2 emails about it).

Hope this helps.

Amber

Yep, that's the point

Hey guys -

Dan just sent out this email about the class starting tonight. Might help some of you make a decision.

Hope it helps.

Subject: M-day is upon us: Confidential Course Prep


I've got good news and bad news...

---- Confidential PRINT & SAVE ----

The good news is that Mobile Success Formula starts this today; Tuesday at 8:30PM EST (5:00PM Pacific)... yes, it is M-day.

Here's the link if you are not yet signed-up:
http://mobilesuccessformula.com

Your DAY ONE course outline is below and it's time to prepare.

Oh oh oh... before I continue, I've got some bad news too. But it's bad news ONLY if you're still sitting on the fence. Mobile Success Formula members are joining an exclusive club... literally, the next leaders in Mobile will graduate from this program in 12 short weeks. So, any way you look at it, unless you are in the club, the only thing "mobile" you'll have going, is your monthly cell phone bill. ouch!

If you do not believe this, just read the "Mobile Action Plan" and "Prep-Steps" below.

There's still time to get in on the opportunity and I thought that by sharing the prep-tips for DAY ONE, it might motivate you to secure one of the few remaining spots.

Let do it...

GOAL?
Attack the following 3 undeniable facts below:

HARD TO DENY FACT #1
We are already at the point in time where a majority of consumers EXPECT a legit business to have a Mobile website. It is imperative that you set-up a Mobile site for your business this week.

HARD TO DENY FACT #2
Check your calendar and look at the YEAR. If it is 1995... you are ok. If your calendar reads 2010, no wild crazy excuse is going to help any more. Your competition is going mobile, your prospects are already mobile and your existing customers are literally waiting on you to get your act together. Ignoring this fact is what I call "Marketers Suicide."

HARD TO DENY FACT #3
All sites need traffic including mobile sites. But WHERE do we get it? And the old equation TRAFFIC + CONVERSION = SUCCESS just isn't good enough for Mobile; there are TWO missing factors you must add to this equation.

Revealed in Class #1
TRAFFIC + ________ + COVERSION + ________ = MOBILE SUCCESS

BTW... we will waste no time in implementing a killer traffic campaign that will begin driving mobile traffic to your mobile site within days of your site going live. The mobile traffic strategies I'll reveal are not taught in ANY OTHER COURSE and they are 100% free. I know it sounds redundant, but these mobile traffic strategies are worth MORE than the your investment in Mobile Success Formula.

BE FOREWARNED ... Dan will reveal a total of 28 Mobile Traffic strategies. Some of these will BLOW YOUR MIND. However... with so much stuff crammed into just SESSION #1, be forewarned, there is a chance some of these 28 Mobile Traffic strategies may have to wait to Session #2. But you will get every last one of them if you are a Mobile Success Formula member.

PREP STEPS (for Mobile Success Formula Class #1)

We will learn how-to build a mobile site (or page) in class one. Your mobile site will work on almost ALL mobile phone platforms. You'll need zero programming skills.

PREP-STEP 1
Step into the shoes of your typical customer as they sit in a restaurant, their car, or upon a bus stop bench. THINK what are the "things" about your business or product/service that someone would want or need while they are Mobile.

Consider these items (they are Mobile magnets)
1. Mobile Coupons
2. Maps/directions
3. Hours of operation
4. Phone number (click to call)
5. Menu, list of products/services
6. Reviews / Testimonials
7. Discount offers
8. Event information
9. Interesting content (in micro-chunks)
10. Fast facts, micro tips, FAQs about your products/services
11. Twitter, Facebook or FourSquare links
12. A way to opt-in for something "mobile"
13. A toll-free recorded message number
14. A link to your full PC site

You might have other mobile magnets, but for now... settle in on one or a few of these items that you could provide. This information will be the foundation of the mobile page (or pages) you build.

PREP-STEP 2

Plan on creating a general "catch-all" mobile site that can be used on business cards etc. This might be from one page to 6 pages, based on what your goals and business might be.

Plan on creating a landing page for getting Mobile opt-ins (you'll want to think-up a Mobile "I must have this" type offer that your prospects and customers can't resist)

Plan on creating a "Transition Page" - something that for now, I'll keep secret and reveal the details in our webinar.

PREP-STEP 3

Optional: Have a small image or logo handy (on your desktop).

PREP-STEP 4

Think of the domain names you might want to secure for your Mobile pages. These should be .mobi domains. Do not buy domains for speculation, but rather get the few you need that protect the existing domains you already have. Buy additional .mobi domains ONLY if you have an immediate use.

We will discuss the use of .info domains for Mobile in the class. Hold off buying these until you have your strategies and mobile pages ready.

The best domain names are:
• short
• memorable
• easy to spell

NOTE: you do NOT need a .mobi domain prior to the first class. You can build a mobile website without buying any domain and without having a hosting account. If you are unsure, wait until you complete class one.

PREP-STEP 5

There is a secret "rule" in building a mobile website that I'll reveal in the class. So that you are ready, get a small pack of 3x5 cards and have them handy.

GOALS OF WEEK ONE

• You will have a traffic-ready mobile site up and running.
• If time permits this week (after class one), you should create a Mobile landing page for each product or service you sell.
• If you have no products or if you are an affiliate marketer, you'll still need a mobile site and I'll show you in class how to monetize any mobile web page with ads.
• Start a "traffic" driving campaign.
• Begin Cross-Integration

WARNING: Mobile Success Formula strategies should be kept secret. The fewer people that know these strategies the more money and opportunity you'll have.

See you in class,

Dan Hollings

its a free app. just look for "QR" (quick read). I'm not sure if it comes standard on some phones. I have a blackberry and I had to add it to mine, although mine isn't the newest (till January )

Now that I think about it, my husband has the BB Torch, and there are parts that have it built in, I'm not sure if it is for all barcodes, but apparently now its there that you can add other users just by taking the pic of the barcode (my hubby's phone has this) - so maybe it is there automatically in the new ones?

Amber

They only ever have to get the app once. Then it works on ANY barcode after that.

According to a recent report published by Smaato:53% of their respondents "never saw an ad on their phone before.". On the other end of the spectrum: 16% have "engaged with an ad on their phone."


I wish that all I have spent. But. A little past $500 and a light went on for me. Now into positive ROI.
