Hi Brad

Any chance getting a copy of your craigslist ads?

Same as phoenix777, I am UK too and trying to find shops to accept commercial ad is tough so I am going to try outside my area.

Thanks

Hi Brad

Sent you email for craigslist ad example.

Thanks

[Brad Gosse]

My assistant has the CL ad examples so I will have those tomorrow.

[paulie888]

Thanks Brad, I found it. So I can just delete the older version of the download and just use the new one, right?

I just ordered and downloaded. Finally WSO's are coming out that CAN actually help people with little experience to make money. Very refreshing to see WSO's that actually work.

[Brad Gosse]

All PM's and requests for updates have been answered.

Thanks for making this a huge success. Now get out there and post some flyers!

[Zeus66]

Just bought... LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! This is PERFECT for anyone starting out or who works a J.O.B. and needs something part-time to add some income. Of course, it can also be added to your arsenal if you do this stuff full-time without much outlay or time investment. I dig it.

Oh, had to mention this... FoxIt Reader will also allow you to edit the templates. You DO NOT have to use Adobe Reader only. FoxIt is free as well.

Great WSO! One of the best I've bought in my current buying spree. LOL

Thanks John keep me posted on your progress

FYI the price of this WSO is supposed to go up to $47 today but I am taking my time before i do this. I have morning meetings and some other stuff on my plate o take advantage of the low price. I will raise it another $10 some time today.

Best regards
Brad

I think this is a really good, simple and complete business model. I'm looking forward to giving this a shot too. :-)

Also, ironically enough, I was editing a similar poster type set up on the weekend and found this free online editor for pdf's...no download required. ;-) PDFescape - Free PDF Editor & PDF Form Filler - Account Login

Sandy thanks for that link

[Maria Gudelis]

Brad - had to check this out after listening to your interview yesterday with fellow warrior Michael Hiles -

totally can see how this can be 'customized' also for other very cool money making activities!

Thanks and even at the $47 it is worth it! - you just distracted me from getting one of my clients' stuff done!!

[Brad Gosse]

Thanks Maria for your review!

I have just heard from a man in Texas who has been taping these to utility poles on busy street corners with huge success. I never thought passed cork boards.

[Zeus66]

Brad,

I'm not that man in Texas... I'm another man in Texas, but I had that same idea today and several other twists on the cork board method. Have you seen those little signs that people stick into the ground along freeway exit ramps and busy intersections? I see them all the time here where I live and work, usually for things like homes for rent/sale, credit repair, etc. Haven't seen one for this yet, but I just might start a new trend if they don't cost too much. Will be getting price estimates from a few sign shops this week.

Also, man I'm probably giving away too much here, but what the heck... Have you tried setting up a toll-free phone number with a recorded message? I know that works like gangbusters for other CPA offers. I might test that too. You just set up an outgoing message so someone can call 24/7 and get the details. You can pre-sell with more detail than your flyer has, then direct them to your redirecting website and on to the CPA offer landing page.

I'm even thinking about one of those car magnet signs (again, if the cost isn't too exorbitant) or stencils for the back window. Today out on my J.O.B. I saw a seriously gaudy but highly effective mobile ad for a new pizza joint. It was a large truck towing a huge sign. I saw it about 10 times and each time a ton of people were staring at it. That gave me the idea about the sign magnets, which you also see a lot in bigger towns.

And my other idea (told you I had a bunch of twists pop into my head since buying your WSO), have you ever tried paying a local kid to stick small leaflets on car windshields in parking lots? I can see how that might be really effective too, but I worry about the legal issues. Do you know if you need permission to do this at places like Wal Mart, Target, Malls, etc.?

Yes, my mind has been busy in the last 24 hours. LOL

It just occurred to me:

Does it present a problem/issue to the CPA company if you are primarily marketing the offers locally so all the leads are coming from the same area or the same few zip codes.

I'm not familiar with CPA Networks rules - just asking?

Bruce this is not an issue. Many CPA networks deal with local blogs and directories that promote to one small area.

Wow John your mind has been racing

These are some great ideas. I have a sign shop next door to my office unit. I should ask them about the small utility pole signs so we can test that.

[Jim Hallmark]

Brad,
Excellent WSO! Very simple but very powerful. I love it. These are the best kind of offers IMO.

I look forward to implementing these strategies this weekend. I live in John's area so I'm going to have to beat him to the punch on some of the ideas he threw out there. Watch out John!

Cheers,
Jim

Awesome idea with the magnetic signs... you can get the magnetic sheets at office supply stores... they feed into your home printer and feed just like paper -- then you just slap'em onto any metal surface -- car doors or___________?.

The smaller signs that you see sticking in the ground along the roadside are usually called "bandit signs" (sign companies will immediately know what you are talking about) and typically cost $1 to $3 each depending on the size, qty, and materials used...

[Zeus66]

Oh, it's so ON! Don't let me catch you scoping out my turf, buddy. I'll "accidentally" side swipe ya. Hit and run. Or maybe I'll just pay a kid to tear down your stuff and put up mine.

Yes! Thanks for the specific info! I was about to call a few local shops to get what you just gave me. Mucho Thanko.

Your public website has a price of $47 and your current WSO price is $47. That does not meet the terms of offering a WSO.

Thanks for that, I just raised the WSO price to $47 recently which was in line with my prelaunch price. I have raised the price on my public website.

Hi Brad,

A couple of quick questions, if you don't mind.

About how many cork board posting does it take? For example 100 postings per $100 per day?

Also do you give the ads and procedure for getting people to do the postings? I live in a non-metro are so this would probly be critical for me.

Thanks

Seb

Seb thanks for your questions

I think every area will be different so it's hard to say. I am seeing 1 sale per 2-3 stores daily on average.

There is no real procedure. We post ads on craigslist and hold the person doing the job accountable by making them send us photos of each cork board in order to get paid.

I do provide an example CL ad.

Hope that helps
Brad

[Sebulba]

Brad,

That is very helpful. So based on that this could be cashflowed pretty well.

Thanks

Hello Brad,

I purchased yesterday. Only problem is, I have no idea how to edit these flyers. Do you plan on doing a video editing a flyer by any chance?

Thanks

[Matthew Olson]

Hi Brad,

You said "I am seeing 1 sale per 2-3 stores daily on average."

Does that mean you will typically place a flyer in 2-3 stores then see 1 sale per day EVERY day after that? And how long to the flyers usually continue to produce sales for you before having to replace them? Are people tearing off tabs or are they taking your entire flyer?

Thanks,
Matt

[Brad Gosse]

One problem we have run into though is finding cork-boards (none in the supermarkets we've been in recently). So, any quick tips on other places you've been finding them?
Also, how much do you pay your hired help when getting others to post these for you?
Thanks for the info: great wso!
Best,
Graham

We pay the hired help by paypal.

I have been seeing cork boards in pet stores, coffee shops, community centers and more. You can also tape these flyers to utility poles on busy intersections

Brad,

Maybe something that will work with OpenOffice?

You could also do another WSO for having fliers made up for different offers that we could suggest like acia berry products, credit reports, etc... just a suggestion.

I would like the ability to be able to save my changes also which I can't do now.

Ted will a DOC file work with openoffice?

We have the WORD and PSD files done just quality checking them now.

Brad

[tjk1058]

Anyone know how to take the HTML version of the cpa offer and make it into a flier?

If you could take the creative they give you in html and blow it up to fit on a 8"x11" flier and add the tabs on the bottom would be great.

I think it will... I had some older MS word doc that I was able to open so it should work.

BIG UPDATE

Thanks,

Graham here we pay $5 per board that gets 2 flyers each.

Brad,

Do you know of any way to do this? Nobody responded and it would be great if there was some way of taking the creatives that the CPA companies give us for the HTML version and use them for the flier but editing out the bottom clause on the page and then adding in the tear off tabs...

If anyone knows how to do this would be great... as a lot of the creative designs look great that they give us and could help in creating unlimited different ads.

[wealthwarrior]

Get this free printscreen tool -- Gadwin PrintScreen 4.4
Screen Capture and Print Screen software

This will capture the image of the CPA offer to a .jpg. Paste it into Word and print ("portrait"). Run the same page through your printer ("landscape") for your tabs.

That's how I would do it.

[freedom4me2]

Brad,

How do you get the flyers to the people that you hire from Craiglist?
Do you meet with them personally, mail the flyers or have them print them of their computer?

Thanks.

Most of the time we email the flyers or have them printed and waiting at a kinkos type location.
