The mother of all secrets

7 replies
I am going to share with you today one of the most powerful marketing strategies used by the most successful business people in the world.

1. First you need your own product or service (offer)

So you have to be selling what people are buying. For example coca cola isn't selling sugar water they are selling happiness (well according to them anyway)

Whole foods isn't selling organic food (they are selling longer lives)

If your selling a weight loss product your not selling a 78 page pdf your selling a ( attention from the opposite sex)

When you start selling what people are buying you will make more money, you can leave all the fancy weapons of influence at home when you understand this.

2.) Engineering Fame

It's all about perception here, these are the same principles that the media uses to influence the masses perception on certain things.

You want to engineer the perception that you are a big shot in the industry you are in, not by lying or doing anything sleezy of course.

You can do this simply by having a picture of you on a stage in a room full of people, so just host a free local seminar teach your content, where a fancy suit and hire a photographer to take pictures of the event.

write some press releases or even better have someone else write a press release on you telling your unique story.

Put a page on your blog called press and list the press releases, hell someone might even pick you up and you might even get in a local paper or on a local am radio station.

Get people talking positively about you, it's not what you say that developed the perception of you, it's what other people say about you that counts.

Pay one of your buddies to interview you, just the simple fact that someone is interviewing you creates the perception that your somebody.

There are a million black hat ways to do this but please keep it ethical and honest.

3.) promotional partnerships/integration marketing and joint ventures.

Use your newly engineered fame or your perception of fame to start reaching out to key players in your industry.

Make sure you hire a virtual assistant to do this for you so you look even cooler. Have our people contact their people

Create a mutually beneficial relationship, there are many ways to do this. One of the ways is that you can put a link to each others products on your than you page to share and generate buyer leads that's one of the ways.

doing a webinar together and share the profits or promote their products through your affiliate link, and vice versa.

do a live event together with both of your lists.

Be creative, make sure it's mutually beneficial by that I mean it builds both of your businesses.

When they see you as a key player they will be more likely to hear you out because the newly engineered perception of fame will get them excited to work with you.

now you know some of the most powerful secrets of some of the most wealthiest people on the planet


get creative with it, there are so many ways to do each step, just be creative think of ideas on your own and have fun with it.

    I don't see how this is a secret since this is the third post today I have read that is pretty much the same. This is common knowledge and calling it a secret is really just a marketing trick.

    It is common knowledge regurgitated once again in the forum. I really don't like the idea of trying to make yourself look famous or like you know something that you really don't know.

    It is not about selling more products is the product is garbage coming from someone that does not know what they are talking about. Let me break this down, then let's take a look at the OPs signature links.

    "When you start selling what people are buying you will make more money" CAPTAIN OBVIOUS. This is like saying a guy with bottled water for sale in a dessert full of thirsty people can make money.....as the teenage blonde says DUH!

    "you can leave all the fancy weapons of influence at home when you understand this.", but yet what you just stated are weapons of influence. Coke is literally carbonated sugar water, but "Happiness" is the fancy weapon of influence.

    A weight loss product is exactly that, and forgive me, but I would not sell it as attention from the opposite sex because there are men and women that love all types of body styles. REALLY your fancy weapon of influence here is "confidence" Furthermore if you are in the weight loss niche you really want to sell hard on the health problems someone can experience if they become severely overweight.

    No contradiction there....sure don't use black hat tricks, but here is one.

    You can create any perception you want, but if you don't know what you are talking about and your product or service is garbage it will get discovered. THIS is a political mindset and I would not recommend using it.

    If you put out GREAT content for your readers and actually know what you are talking about you don't have to "engineer fame", which really means "create fake fame". It will come and when it does you will be a credible source instead of a sleazy scam artist.

    "Use your newly engineered fame or your perception of fame to start reaching out to key players in your industry."

    Don't you think if you knew what you were talking about the key players in your industry would notice and would actually care? How long will it take for them to figure out that your FAME is fake. I would be worried about anything that is simply a "perception of fame".

    "Make sure you hire a virtual assistant to do this for you so you look even cooler. Have our people contact their people "

    Yes now let's pay someone else to be joined in with our lie.

    "Create a mutually beneficial relationship, there are many ways to do this. One of the ways is that you can put a link to each others products on your than you page to share and generate buyer leads that's one of the ways."

    This is actually good advice when it is done on merit and not smoke and mirrors.

    "When they see you as a key player they will be more likely to hear you out because the newly engineered perception of fame will get them excited to work with you."

    How about instead of being "seen" as a key player you actually become one. This will get them even more excited to partner with you.

    "now you know some of the most powerful secrets of some of the most wealthiest people on the planet"

    These are not secrets nor are they powerful for any good reason at all. Most of the wealthiest people on the planet are also incredibly secretive and will not let anything out of the bag. They also don't care about fame at all, but it is a benefit of the wealth they created. Read up on guys like Bill Gates, Donald Trump, and Steven Jobs (RIP) and you will be surprised how much of a lie that last statement there is.

    Now, let's look at what this poster really wants you to see in his signature file:

    First signature - Christmas Hijack - basically you are going to create a blog about the top products and create an income somehow. He states you will be able to reach into the pockets of billionaires and take a check from them.

    Says this will be done with Amazon products and others you can promote. Guess what your competition is going to be.....Everybody else using it along with all the Big block stores.

    HE even claims it is the only traffic method that can send you 1,000s of visitors every month for a low price.

    Says he could have fluffed it up and it is simply fluff........it is a strategy that many have used to make money (at least the Amazon product promotion part), but it can take 6 months to a year to start really seeing positive results with Amazon.

    States it is a super low refund rate, but that is because it is only $10. Doesn't even finish the video before he cuts out.

    Maybe the method works and maybe it doesn't, but the sales pitch is a HUGE promise of income fast and easy.......Great for him......Bad for new marketers because this is usually a sign of a product or method that does not work all that well.

    The second link - $10,000 in as little as 30 days

    The headline alone throws up red flags. Can you make $10k in a month? Sure, but is it likely, no.

    The image of his paypal account having $64k in it.....most likely a is fake considering very few people would keep that much money in an account that no longer bears interest. My guess is a bit of photoshop to make this look WAY better than it is.

    If he can really put that kind of money in your pocket why is he selling his product for under $20?

    Again, maybe it is a great product maybe it is not, but it is oversold and convinces new marketers they can be rich in a very short amount of time. Usually this is a bad sign.

    Final signature link - 7 Proven AutoPilot Systems

    HMMMMM 7 ways to make money without much work. Again appealing to the lazy person and any REAL marketer knows it take quite a bit of work to make money online.

    He obviously put in his work, so why in the world do you think he would just give you his hundreds upon hundreds of hours of work for under $20?

    90% of this information can be found for free.....now I have no problem with making a buck by taking the time to compile all this for someone, but I really doubt any of these systems are autopilot.

    AUTOPILOT is another word marketers use to convince people they can really be rich and lazy.

    I will give the guy his props cause his sales copy is pretty darn good, except the video in the first signature link, which I found to be a HUGE oversell, but this is something you have to be very careful about.

    Marketers are not very honest as far as telling you the entire truth and you have to remember that pictures and reviews are not always the truth either.

    These products may be GREAT or they may be complete Garbage, but don't buy into the over promised headlines.

    TRUE GURUS and those that don't need Perceived Fame undersell what they have and over deliver.
