Getting Back into the Game- tips?
I don't want to mess around. I'm hungry, not desperate. I've had some decent success in the past and want to do it again.
My background:
Worked for a software company for a few years in marketing, got laid off years ago and had some great success in launching a small shareware software package from $400/year to $10K/month in sales by recruiting affiliates, redoing marketing copy, ramping up advertising. Was shafted by my business partner, lost all revenue share after a few months of hitting that target.
Currently, I do the marketing for my friend's business, and helped him grow primarily through recruiting independent sales associates for him through the Web, email, and phone calls (not an mlm). Although it started very slow, this is fairly easy money now, with extra time, and I work at home. I really want to diversify for security AND to take advantage of the upcoming deals during our current economic depression.
Skills/Knowledge:
-Basic knowledge of HTML, photoshop, etc. I'm not a designer or web guy and prefer to leave that work to others that are better/faster.
-Familiar with setting up blogs, adwords, etc.
-Familiar with a lot of general internet marketing, not an expert in any one field. I've been an info junkie on the side, want to get out of this mode and into "doing", not just "Consuming" more info.
-A decent copywriter, do a lot of marketing copy
-Have outsourced menial labor to others in india, etc. and am OK doing that to ramp up projects.
-Decent at telemarketing, OK with hitting the phones now and then to ramp things up, find partners, etc.
I'm OK investing a few hundred in a proven recipe, then investing thousands more or reinvesting the whole thing into a bigger project. I'm OK paying others to do work for me to make things go faster. For example, I now have a craigslist poster that does $1 postings. Could I figure out how to do it myself? Maybe, but that $1 brings back a lot more for me and I can focus on other things.
Having another solid income of 5-10K a month would be a dream for me.
Not interested in any kind of mlm (sideline here, but studies show that less than .01% actually make anything after their costs and fees).
Basically, my goal would be to start with a medium size project, then expand to bigger and better things.
This has turned out to be a LONG post. Sorry. My goal is to put this all out there, and get your thoughts and ideas on coaching vs. DIM vs. any other product or solution, and other options.
Thank you!
