"Am I the only one that's tired of getting clients the hard way?..."
A few months ago, I kinda got burnt out and needed some time to recharge my batteries.
So, I took a week off and really begin to think about how I could start to work less, but still keep my income level the same or grow it even more.
That's when I really begin to focus on webinars. Now, they're not the cure for every offline marketing issue, but they do allow us to leverage ourselves without going crazy.
Then next thing I did was start to really get serious about approaching associations for the industries that I want to target.
See, for me it's about lifestyle design.
I would rather do a two hour workshop or webinar each week and be in front of 30-50 business owners, than solely relying on one-to-one marketing strategies.
Don't get me wrong though, you should always continue to do both. I'm just talking about using maximum leverage.
So, like any good marketer, I was doing research on my target market. In this case, trade associations.
That's when I came across this newest book by Robert Skrob (of Information Marketing Association) called - Your Association Shortcut: The Definitive Guide for Generating Customers Through Associations.
This is a brand new book released this month and it is truly a gem. Here's a small sample of the book that caught my eye.
- Why it's so important to market to the members and not to the generic association. And how to do it right.
- How to build a niche marketing plan to completely own any association you choose to target.
- The secrets to positioning yourself as someone associations eagerly want to work with.
- How to position yourself as a consultant that the association wants to give a personal endorsement to.
- His own personal step-by-step blueprint for getting full access to a associations members fast.
So, after reading the book twice, I can tell you that it's filled with valuable content that I think any offline marketer can use.
You can simply head over to Amazon.com and type in "Your Association Shortcut" and it will pop right up.
Pick up a copy today on Amazon while it's still on sale for $4.95. It will definitely open your eyes to how you can and should approach associations
Now, go sell something,
