The P. Diddy Internet Marketing Business Model

OP, sorry to be the first to say it (someone has to) but your post comes across as a garbled load of nonsense. If you try to be more specific in what you're attempting to get across to us (think bullet points if you're struggling that badly) then the bloodhound might be able to follow the scent.

As for "THE P.Diddy Marketing Model" - a word to the wise . . . don't give up the day job.

Sorry to be blunt, but nothing personal. We all had to start somewhere.

I read it and I got what you meant. Easy enough to understand.

I think I get Nathan's idea.
His idea is to find offline experts in areas such as real estate pros that are famous for closing sales in the offline market or telemarketers or some experts in the real world, create products from them and use I.M methods to market their products either by licensing the content from them or giving them a royalty for the sales made.

Hope I am accurate.

Nathan, I got what you meant. Great idea with the stoves, BTW. I'd definitely do it if I were you. And I liked the title of the thread, too, lol.

The only thing about it is getting others to really follow through. In your case with your dad's stove the thing is already built and field-tested, so to speak. But with others... I've had the same idea – lots of people I know are good at something that they could make money at if they just marketed it right – but man, it's hard to get them (a) to see that, (b) to agree to do something with you, and (c) follow through to the end if they do agree.

If you figure out a good way to motivate people to do stuff with you, please let me know.

This is the model the big boys do to generate 6-7 figure launches.

What is P.Diddy?

How to be a JV broker? A dealmaker? I think if you ask those who actually do it for a living they will tell you it sounds good on paper, or, to sell to the miners your shovels, but, it is a matter of skill and theory don't fly. You have to be a salesman and have the skill to do work yourself. Diddy was actually a performer first. Backup dancer and promoter of events. Event planning and being part of the talent led him to easily transport his skills into music entertainment, and, being a good judge of what actual talent looks like. He didn't wake up one day and say. I am going to produce today!!!!!

There is a saying, "they see the shine, but, they don't see the grind".

Warrior Forum is a very colorful place. Just joined and I already love it

Thanks for this.

I think it's possible and I am sure it's being done.

Especially relevant if the product requires some nice video shooting.

eg for a product about fly fishing, it's hard to film it on your own but very expensive to pay a video shooter to film and edit it for you aside for building the product and marketing. Would look like a $10k investment to some people.

so for the expert JV'ing with someone who has some video and marketing skills is appealing if it gets it to market.

i would think 5 % is low (maybe for a dvd ok), for a video product on CB I would think 20% comm, and they would have to agree to be available to do a webinar or guest posts, post on fan page be the face of it and agree to help with some marketing. This is what TV presenters commit to when they make a show - similar model, they don't own the product.

If they have an existing blog/audience then they could sell as an aff and get 20% + 50%, for direct sales then it's 80/20 in your favor so you'll work on that bit. Regular Aff sales 50 / 30 / 20.

I guess key is finding the right person who is committed but willing to not actually own the product, that could be the tricky part.

All of the above is theory, I haven't done this before and asked the original question!

Nathans idea is exactly why I always say to never 'become the expert'.

Find a profitable market that is easily accessible.

Find an expert with no marketing knowledge.

Create, Sell, Deliver.

Yup. Nathan basically repeated, word for word, Ryan Deiss's business model without even knowing it.

Nothing wrong with it and it works.

Find the expert. Be the marketer.

I understand the idea of leveraging others' talent, but in the example you gave - while it may be beneficial to some, doesn't seem to have much upwards potential in my eyes. I think your time would be better spent elsewhere. You are targeting a demographic that uses the internet less and takes home a smaller income. Sometimes you find a market that seems to have potential because it is not saturated, but the reality is that there is no one there for a reason. You are welcome to prove me wrong, though!
