A Little Tip - Maybe Obvious To Some...

I keep getting reminded that our marketplace is global in nature. When I finished my ebook, the first in the IM arena, I made sure that my customers could download my product any time or day. I did this with DLGuard, BTW. Here's my point and the tip.

When it was finished, I fired off an email at an odd hour, 1AM EST because I was excited to see if my list was interested in the offer. I did not stop to think about the time of day. I got a lot of sales. I was surprised. After all, it was after 1AM in the morning, who could be up at this time? I slapped my forehead (don't do this too often) after looking at GetResponse's geo map of my subscribers. People around the world were online even though most were sleeping in my time zone. Soooo.....

TIP: When you are about to offer a product or launch a product or give out a pre-launch discount, do it at 3 different times spaced 8 hours apart to get all your customers globally. It worked for me. Now I stop to think about where the bulk of my customers are located before I send a broadcast email. Hope you find this useful.

    Good point!

    I was just talking about this earlier. I was talking to someone and mentioned that I don't do a whole lot on Sunday, other than watch some football and complete some honey do lists that have built up

    Their response?

    It is Sunday there? It's Monday here

    Sometimes I forget that everyone isn't in the same time zone I'm in, let alone in the same country.

      Hi Tommy,

      That is one of the great things about IM/Online Business, is that
      we have a global market of customers from all different countries...

      Now if that isn't reach, I don't know what is!

      I LOVE IT!

      All the best,
      Jamie
