Best IM biz model for people with communication difficulties?

by bhaitain
8 replies
I'm looking for ideas on which internet marketing business models are well suited for people with communication difficulties, such as those on the autism spectrum, schizophrenia, and other mental illnesses.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but one biz model that comes to mind is email marketing using PPC. You don't need to create a ton of articles/videos to drive traffic. You can just set up a squeeze page, although I think the hardest parts would be learning PPC, and figuring out what to put in the email sequence.

Any more ideas are welcome.

    PPC can be pretty hard to learn if you're starting out, and you can lose a lot of money. However if you want to try PPC I'm sure you could succeed if you have a good amount of money to invest, just make sure you read up on it first.

    If you are unable to write articles/make videos there are plenty of people on fiverr.com who will do that for you for $5

    There are opportunities where a lot of this is done for you. Mostly you just drive traffic and the system does the rest. You can even participate in advertising co-ops.

    It's what I recommend.

        Some of these Niches you mention can work with Article Marketing via Syndication.

        There are a few experts in this field here at Warrior Forum..i.e .Myob, Jon Mccabe, and Alexa Smith ( no longer with us)...but you can do a search for them and check out their Threads

    You can find plenty of DONE-FOR-YOU newsletters, follow-up sequences and promos. If you have about $1000 to spend I think buying such a DFY service, setting up your autoresponder and driving traffic to your squeeze page through targeted solo ads is a good option.

    I'd think it really depends on the individual. I know people with some of the difficulties you mention... some are strong at written communication and not verbal... for others, it is the opposite.


    I do think the suggestion of done for you products could be a good one. You can get quality squeeze pages, products to sell, follow up series, etc for much less than the $1000 someone mentioned. Do you want to base your whole business upon these? No, probably not. But at the very least, they can be a great way to get your feet wet, figure out what works and what doesn't, and five you something to base future endeavors off of.

      It seems like I should have exlpained that better :-)

      $1000 would be for the whole strategy aka purchasing the DFY funnels, follow-ups etc AND driving traffic to your funnel via solo ads. At least half of that amount would go to solo ads in order to build a targeted list fast. Even the ''perfect funnel'' is useless if it isn't presented to the right target audience.

      Hope that clarifies my suggestion..:-)

    Avoid PPC. For now.

    1. Select one area; autism, for instance.
    2. Discover what the target market needs.
    3. Put together a free product.
    4. Know what your newsletter will be about; the ongoing subject-matter.
    5. Front-End: Squeeze Page.
    6. Monetize "thank you" page.
    7. Auto-Deliver free product.
    8. Setup a follow-up series of emails to gain trust (warm them up).
    9. Back-End: A Blog, where articles are syndicated to grow Opt-Ins.

    Feed the above setup:

    1. Social Groups & Communities (Posting + Your Own)
    2. Social Pages and Accounts (FB Page, Twitter, Etc.)
    3. Forums.
    4. Video Marketing (Go after long-tails)

    The above will get you started on the right foot.
