[Strategy] $1000 in budget. What would you do?

That is what makes a successful marketer, keep failing over and over, and this is what makes you succeed. You wouldn't buy it, for every 1 person that says no, there are 2 more that say yes I will buy!

If your mentality is I am wasting paper, money and time and no one will buy, then you are not cut off for offline marketing. Most of the competition is online, you are competing with millions, you have to invest in ppc, seo, articles, and then you have to settle for long tail keywords and excruciating keyword research.

Psychological Sales Triggers - Sales Triggers That Make People Buy

You don't need a list, or build a relationship. I know that is what all of us are thought at the beggining through here or some internet course we purchased and I am not saying it doesn't work. But at the same time people are scare of trying a new method because it didn't work for them the first time.

I have purchased so many things before from flyers because it caught my attention somehow. Maybe it attack a problem I had and the flyer had the solution. Maybe my neighbor doesn't have the same problem.

So yes you might get some turn downs, but I would suggest going to Barnes & Noble or any other bookstory and buy a few books on psychological triggers and studied this tactics to put together a great flyer that will have the solution to a person's problem. That is when someone buy.

Don't Sell Your Services; That's Not What People Buy

I am happy everyone stays with online marketing because it leaves alot of customers for me offline and I don't need seo or ppc for them to see my ad.

Think about this for a moment, if flyers did not work, why are there so many people using this method?

Many businesses make alot of money and have happy clients because of flyers distribution. The point is, studied really hard what makes someone a buyer, and make your flyer design based on what you learned from this books and you will see succeed. I am sure that there are quite a few people in here making a killing with this, but they stay quite because if everyone knows about this, then this field will get very saturated and you will see so many internet marketers in the streets instead of being sitting all day in warrior forum,lol.

Hey look at it this way, at least you are exercising and making some sales!
Is a win win situation!
