$50,000 (50 Thousand Dollars) before the Holidays - My Plan

[Bryan Kumar]

EDIT: The actual report, detailing how I did it, is available in the War Room.

Hey Warriors,

So, I'll make this real quick coz the idea just came to me last night and I'm still brainstorming on how to make this plan better and faster.

The Goal is to make $50,000 by the holidays, let's say a few days before Christmas. (That's not much more than a month, really.) It's for a charity that I've been involved with for several years. (Don't let the charity thing concern you - thats just my own thing.)

The secondary goal is to get Warriors focused and brainstorming collectively towards a specific goal, and plan, that any Warrior can use to make their and their family's holiday (and financial future) a little better.


My personal plan for this still being tweaked so it's nowhere near ready. Plus, the actual blueprint won't be completed till the completion of the goal anyway - since I'll be documenting everything till the very last day i.e. a few days before Christmas.

My plan is to give Warriors this report at no charge. Think of it as a holiday gift. (I will be selling it to non-Warriors for 35 bucks or something.)

I'm not going to make a mega pitch here. If you've read any of my reports (free or paid,) you know what kind of product you can expect from me.

If you're interested in getting a copy of my $50k report for FREE, raise your hand and let me know.


Here's the fun part...

And I can NOT use my existing mailing lists to do it.

Of course, the obvious alternative that came to mind immediately was, "Run a WSO." And I will do that.

But there's gotta be more than that. The report will include everything I do to reach my goal.


Anyways...here's how you can benefit in another way...and help other Warriors in the process...

If you can come up with a solid plan to generate $50k by the holidays, or even $10,000, I would like to include your plan in my product package. (See update on this below...)

You'll possibly get a lot of exposure from this as the product spreads out there. I will try to incorporate some viral mechanisms into it as well.

Update:

Your Warrior submissions may be part of a separate package. I haven't quite figured out the whats/hows for that.

It may be a package that only those Warriors who show that they're already setting goals and taking action towards a better financial future would get.

It could also be a package that only the Warriors who participated (submitted their own $10k-$50k plans) would get the rights to sell. Or something... I'm open to ideas.

And, of course, you have to give me permission to reprint your submission (your links will be included in the reprints, obviously.)

I have a tiny hunch that I'll get more than a few submissions ;-) so yours has to be good in order to make it into the package.

Having said that, it doesn't have to be complicated or flashy. The goal is to make money with it, not to impress others on how many marketing terms and techniques we know.

Having said that, the plan can be as creative and "out of the box" as needed.

I'm not sure yet if the Warrior submissions should be a part of the initial package or something that's only available to action-oriented Warriors. Your input is welcome on how to do this...

That's it for now...

As mentioned earlier, I will fill in the details later since my brain is in overdrive right now.

Update: I've started to share bits and pieces of my initial plan in the responses below...


Questions, comments, concerns are welcome.


Thanks!
Bryan

[Steven Wagenheim]

Bryan, question.

Does this plan have to work for somebody with:

1. No list
2. No marketing skills
3. No product creation skills.
4. No freelancing skills (copywriting, graphic design, etc.)

The reason I am asking is because I actually did such a thing last year
that made me $16,000 in the month of December. It was a short term plan
but required that the person have a list and also be a product creator.

So if this has to apply to somebody literally starting from scratch, I think
the members would need to know that so they don't submit plans that
won't work for 97% of the people.

[Bryan Kumar]

Good question, Steven. Thanks.

I can't use my own list for this. So, let's assume that the people using this won't have any lists...not to start off with anyway.

As for the marketing skills, hmm...
Well, let's assume that they've been hanging around the forum for at least a few months and have a general idea/understanding of marketing.

Speed, and time available to work with, are major factors here, obviously.

Thanks,
Bryan

[Dan C. Rinnert]

Is the plan here to get $50k by the holidays, or to earn $50k by the holidays? Since you mentioned this is for charity, that would play a big role in determining the approach.

[Bryan Kumar]

Hi Dan,

The charity thing is just something I'm involved with personally.

For anyone interested in createing and submitting their own $50k plan, let's focus on "How to Earn $50k."

Thanks,
Bryan

[Steven Wagenheim]

Bryan, do we post our plan directly here on this thread?

Also, what is the deadline for submissions?

[GoGetta]

Hi Bryan,

I think the most obvious thing right now is maybe some sort of product creation to the Christmas niche!

What? Hmmmm, I am unsure but it is probably one of the hottest niches at this time of year!

Maybe, as many Warriors as possible could come together, create the ultimate site for a Christmas niche related product and all do one thing!

E.G

All write 1 article and promote it for a separate keyword each!

All make 1 video and promote it for a separate keyword each!

All Tweet

And maybe, just maybe we could create and learn from something pretty revolutionary!

Who knows? Just thinking out loud I suppose!

Could work or could be crazy as s***!

[Greg guitar]

Hey Bryan,

Thanks for the awesome thread! It's a great goal, and I'm going to work on my own plan this weekend. I love this type of challenge, because if you decide to set a big goal like this, your powerful subconscious comes up with ways to make it happen.

It's cool that you framed it as a goal rather than a question (eg: Do you think it's possible?), as it focuses your mind on making it happen rather than reasons why it might not work.

[Bev Clement]

Bryan, sent you some ideas by PM. Business planning and brainstorming is something I do a lot of with clients outside the WF.

Bev

[Bryan Kumar]

Steven,

The more I'm thinking about this, the more ideas keep coming up.

Bev just submitted hers via PM. (She's quick!)

I'm wondering if the Warrior submissions could be something that only other Warriors who are action-oriented should get. Not sure yet though about what/how to do that...

Maybe send it to me via PM?
That may also stop those few 'interesting' types we have here from ripping you off and submitting their own.

The deadline is December 22nd. But, if it's a bit delayed, that's not a big deal.

Thanks,
Bryan

GoGetta, I like that! You never know what something like that could turn into.

Great post, Greg. That's exactly it. You have to start out with the right frame of mind... extremely important.

Okay, I'm going to put something together in a PDF and send you a link
to download it. It'll take some time so hang in there. I'll also send you the
DOC file so you can make any personal changes that you want to it.

This is going to be fun...I was getting bored with semi retirement.

[Bryan Kumar]

Got it, Bev. Thanks! You are fast!

Hi Bryan,

You want people to submit their plans by Dec. 22? I thought you wanted to actually generate $50K by that time? Please clarify.

Thanks,
Ken

[Bev Clement]

Originally Posted by Bryan Kumar

Nah! not fast, but something I do all the time, for clients outside of the WF.

It's easy once you done it a few times. Those were just my first thoughts. I will think some more and let you have anything else I can come with.

I misunderstood your OP, so will work on another one for you.

[Keith Boisvert]

Great idea, I will see what I can come up with and pm you. Should be a great group of reports!!

Ken,

Correct.

I'm already working on my own plan, which I will use to generate 50k by Dec. 22.

I will not be using the plans other Warriors submit to reach my goal. That's why you have till Dec. 22 to submit it.

Hope that's clearer.

Thanks,
Bryan

[Bryan Kumar]

LOL Always fun at the forum!

Thanks, Keith! Looks like John zapped it.
You are correct.

Just to clarify for anyone who's wondering I am NOT asking anyone to help me raise the money through this post. I'm doing that part on my own, as I've done for the past several years.

AND, I'm offering Warriors, who are interested, a chance to submit their own plans of how they would do this if they had to.

Since my deadline to raise money is the same as the deadline for Warriors to submit their plans, it's unlikely that I will be using someone else's plan to raise the money. (And, not that it matters, but I do have a little marketing experience of my own, so I can manage. lol)

For anyone who cares to know what I will do with the money...

It all actually started right here, on the Warrior forum many years ago, thanks in big part to Allen. Warriors who have been here for a while may remember that.

Since then, I've been raising money every year to help out a few families during the holiday season. I'll write more about that later...

The charity is just my thing. No one else needs to do that.
The plans that Warriors submit don't have to be for a charity, as mentioned earlier.

The stuff we submit would be in a report he is giving away. Unless I'm missing something(which is known to happen!!) what he does is really none of our business, and to be honest I don't question Bryan as he is an upstanding Warrior. Just me though.

Thank you, Bryan. I promise to get the non-profit paperwork submitted this year.

[Bryan Kumar]

Hahaha!
Yeah, come on, John. You're gonna get us all in trouble if you keep putting that off. lol

[Bryan Kumar]

Folks, let's be sure (or as sure as one can be) that the plans you submit are realistic, and workable, especially within the timeframe we've got.

Keep in mind that many Warriors here are not fulltime marketers, i.e. they have 8-5 jobs.

Thanks,
Bryan

[jjthomas]

Would you mind posting some strategies on how you plan to achieve the 50k goal? I would be interested in implementing those, and/or any others have to post along those lines.

[TVChatten]

Yeah I'm pretty interested myself.

[Bryan Kumar]

That's kinda the idea of the original post. I will be sharing my strategy for how I plan to reach that goal.

I could share all the pieces as I put them into action, but I don't want to turn this into a blog.

As mentioned in the original post, I will definitely run some WSOs as part of the plan. I've bumped a few of my previous ones.

I will also repackage some of my existing products into attractive packages with very attractive prices. And, another part of the plan is to go through the tons of products (RRs, PLRs, etc) that have been collecting on my harddrive and start putting those to use in various ways.

Those are just a few things I will start out with.

Remember, the goal here is not to show others how many fancy and complex marketing techniques I know. It's to make money, period.

Most of us have a lot of resources at our disposal that we're not using (including me.) So, that should always be the first step: Take a quick inventory of what you already have that you can turn into cash immediately, whether it's products, skills, services, whatever.

So, get started! :-)

Great, Bev...if you want to incorporate it into what you sent, or rework it...your choice.

Thanks, folks.

I think we're going with "no list," jimmytron, since that's kinda what I'll be doing. At least, no list of your own to start with.

Although, it looks like this thread is in danger of being deleted.

I've had some great responses from Warriors, which I appreciate very much, but there also seems to be some stuff going on that's...disappointing. And, that's an understatement.

Oh well...we'll see how it plays out...

Thanks, folks.

Raising hand... would love a copy of the final report.

I'm also raising my hands Bryan.I would also like to have a copy of the report.Thanks in advance.

[Jesus Perez]

Many retailers recover from an entire year of failure during Christmas alone. I can attest to this when I worked in retail for a major chain. Nearly 50% of their yearly revenue came in during Christmas. Insanity. It can be done...I'm certain.

My hands raised as well.

[Kat Bartone]

Hi Bryan,

I've raised my hand. And no matter how tired my arm gets, it's staying up there.

Many thanks,

[opportunites]

Can you please share some ideas here in this thread!?

I'm really interested to make some extra monye for the Xmas...
with all the master mind here, I can really profit form your knowledge and make good money...

I'm sure many other will profit form it!

Thank your for sharing!
This will be my best Xmas gift!

[nturgeon]

I'm working on my own strategies for xmas but it won't be anywhere near 50K since I'm still new at this. But I'd love to learn from the best so I am raising my hand for a copy of the finished product as well. Much appreciated.

[seriousmny]

I'm raising my hand for info. If you make this a WSO, I'll be willing to pay for it. If it's free, that's okay too, either way...I want in.

[Greg guitar]

My hand is up as well, and I'll pm you with my plan.

[preets]

Hi Bryan,

I am raising my hand to get a copy of this plan.

many thanks in advance

[code888]

Cannot wait to get this report.

[jhongren]

Hi Bryan,

I am sure your plan work.

I do charity drive for children from low income families before Christmas
every year.

Two days ago, I send out a sms to all my friends saying that I want to buy a gift for these children from this centre and reply me if interested.

The target is 30 gifts.

In the past, before I learnt about email or sms marketing, I will take 30 days to do that.

This time is different.

I sent out an sms in the morning and by night time, I have more than $600 transferred into my bank account.

I have exceeded my target by 10 gifts.

The plan is for me to get the gifts myself and send to the beneficiaries.

So it is $700 within 3 hours. I only sent out to 20 names...20 good friends of mine.

So $50,000 within 1.5 months is doable.
That is about $1,100 a day.
And I collected $700 within 3 hours and only from 20 names.

Just increase the scale.

If there is no contact, go somewhere to build contacts with someone with lists. (I have)
I am sure with a great cause like this, many will raise hands to help. (I will)

(Bryan, I will help you though I dont really know you. But I am very attracted to what you want to do to help others.)

Above is the simple plan. and it will work for anyone as long as you have a mobile phone and friends' contact.

And I know many of us have mobile phones.

Spread the festive season. It is the time to share.

[Bryan Kumar]

That's cool, John.
Yes, when people come together collectively, just about anything is possible. And, the most simplest ideas can create massive results.

The real fun and real skill is to do it in niches other than IM. That is where our skills are really tested and it is the proper way to go about it.

[PAP]

Wouw this will be interesting.

PS.

I would like to get the finished report

[Bryan Kumar]

Not this time.

More than half of my online marketing efforts has been focused on niche markets. In fact, the first report I wrote back in 1990's was a niche (weight loss) report. One of my first websites was all about secret niche reports.

However...my current situation is actually a real one. I'm not just going to write about how I could make $50k before the holidays, it's a real goal.

So, I'm going to stick with what can bring in the cash the quickest and easiest.

That's actually one of the biggest mistakes many marketers make. When something's on the line and you've got a real deadline, you can't afford to "try" stuff. You have to stick to the fundamentals.

I'm sure it's possible to make $50k in such a short time with just niche marketing, but I'm not going to try it right now. I'm not interested in testing my skills right now.

I'll use everything at my disposal that has worked for me in the past. (That's the important piece to get.)

That includes a mix of IM and niche marketing. That's the strategy I'm going with anyway.

Hi Bryan!

your idea is fantastic... I can't wait to see this report and apply it in my online activities to make some money...

You suggested warriors have until Dec. 22 to submit their idea, I think it will be to late for the people who raise their hand (like me) and who would like to learn from you...

Please think about it again! if we have access to the repport after dec. 22, how can we profit form it? how can we make $50,000 with these ideas. I'm sure these ideas would be awesome but I'm afraid, it will be too late to apply them and profit from them.

I also sent you a PM last night.

Thanks for sharing!

This will be my best Christmas gift!

[John M Kane]

Both hands raised YYYYYY for copy when it's completed.

Thanks Bryan.

[Sara Young]

Raising my hand too...

[FlightGuy]

Raising my hand as well.

I'm interested to see what Steven Wagenheim's idea is... I'd love a copy of that PDF, Steven.

John Yeo - that's an excellent idea. Way to inspire us, man.

I like this very much, but then since it is for a charity, we have to be prepared to get nothing? I am willing to do this, however are other warriors willing to put a lot for nothing? Hey man i'll just go with the flow

[Intrepreneur]

I'm already working on my plan and it's not gonna earn 50k so no point in submitting it but this is a very interesting thread and I'm here to add my name to the list of people who get the report.

Thanks Bryan.

Good Luck.
