How I Make Monster Dollars In A Poor Economy
We all know that there is a recession. Anyone who denies it is kidding themselves.
How do we as marketing professionals benefit from this? You need to find a true need and fill it.
You could sell pizza. . . Ummm. . . No. How about cars? No. You could spend all day writing five dollar articles. No thanks. I really LOVE to pull in sick amounts of profit.
Is there a solution? Glad you asked, and yes there really is.
What group of people are being hurt the most right now? NON-PROFITS.
My company, raises funds for non-profits and let me tell you a secret. It really is a cool business to be in. For those of you who DO NOT know, my business is chocolate.
You do not need chocolate to start a fundraiser though. One could source out some toys or other items and then build a catalogue. You approach various groups and they usually are more than eager to raise funds.
I do not distribute catalogues, EVERY fundraiser is done through the Internet. This cuts costs and people love the whole envirnonmental aspect.
What else could you use to raise funds? Well, as most of you here have info-products, why not give it a try? Take your original info-product (weight loss etc. . .) setup a different website and go pitch. You have an edge with info products because of the profit.
Let's say you sell your lose weight now program for $47.00 or maybe it's more. You can easily award fifty percent profits to the group. Look at this way, IT'S SALES IN VOLUME.
I am working on a new project (info product) that will target specific groups and they LOVE IT.
Just think outside of the box and you will find a winner of a product. You can also get tax receipts for donations. Not sure if this is legal in the USA though. It is in Canada, though once one starts to submit large amounts, the Government gets a little concerned.
This fills a need. Groups NEED funds. If you can communicate your product well to a group, you will get the contract. Have patience, it can take a few weeks to secure a few. My company does them on a consistent basis and I am already almost booked up for Christmas 2012.
Have a Great Day.
