before their 10th year
Dear friend,
I'll let you in on a little secret.
I think I can save the world!
There's a growing problem, and the signs of it are everywhere. Do you want a peek?
Then grab your local newspaper and start scanning the ads. Open up your internet browser and look at web sites from your local stores or service providers. See those billboards you're driving by every day. Take a good look. What do you see?
Now, I've got to warn you...It's going to get ugly. But if you keep reading, it'll change the way you view your marketing FOREVER.
Your marketing dollars are being wasted
Your phone rang this morning. It was the newspaper rep calling to share with you the fantastic deal they have going on right now. Of course, you'll have to act soon because this is only good until the end of the month.
So, do you want to put in an ad?
You have the ad from last time. No one called from it, but it looked pretty good and a few people commented that they saw it and were impressed. Maybe this time you'll get some business from it. After all, you have do to do SOME type of marketing, right? What's it cost?
"That's the good news", he answers in his best perky salesman persona. He explains that they're only $320 per eighth page ad for a commitment of 8. But you can stretch them out to any time-frame you'd like. You know deep down that you can't really afford it, but the word "Okay" just came out of your mouth. "Great, you're in!", he exclaims. "We'll just use the same ad, right? You want to use the same credit card number?"
Crossing your fingers and praying for results
Your ad has been in the past 3 weeks, and no one has called, but a couple friends told you they saw it and it looked great. You try to console yourself with, "Maybe advertising just doesn't work for my business." After all, I'm a photographer and not many people are hiring professional photographers these days.
Now, the ad ran all 8 times, your $2,500 is gone and all you got was one call from a guy looking for photographic advice for his 9-year old son. "What's the best digital camera for under $100?" The newspaper rep hasn't called since you gave him your credit card number, and you're back to wondering if it was a good ad. But, you have to do SOME marketing, right?
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth
Your teeny-weeny ad stunk.
But it's not your fault.
And, by the way, most small businesses share your story.
You're a photographer, not a professional marketer. How are you supposed to know how to create a good ad? If you could afford a marketing agency, you'd have a good ad, a much better web site, maybe some direct mail that would get the phone ringing or people coming to your store, and a solid plan for how all this would work together. But you can't.
Here's the problem: You see, you've been trained along with millions of other small businesspeople that marketing works only for the big guys, and only marginally, if at all, for you. You've been trained that good marketing costs more than you can afford. You've been trained that promoting your business through advertising and other means is an expense rather than an investment that pays a return much higher than its cost. You've been trained to silently suffer low to no response to your marketing. Because even though you don't get a return on your advertising, you have to do SOME marketing, right?
Are you ready for a change?
You can do really good marketing. Marketing that is fun and gets under people's skin so that they believe that they can't live without your product or service. They see your message, and like a charge of emotional emotional lightening, they believe they NEED your product or service.
Cost becomes a minor issue since they believe you provide the answer they NEED.
And what if you could discover how to do all this for only one dollar?
I know, too good to be true. There's a catch in here somewhere. You just know it.
Just between you and me, there's a catch. I confess.
I'm charging one dollar for a full year subscription to ManiacalMarketer.com, and I admit that my motive is selfish. I believe that by charging only one dollar I'll entice LOTS of small businesspeople to join. With a large number of people raving about their success from my one-of-a-kind marketing advice, I'll be rewarded with three things:
1. A growing reputation for remarkable content that produces results for members, and therefore, even more subscribers.
2. An audience of people like you who are eager to pay for solid information that produces results. And then, from time to time, I'll share with you some additional products that might benefit your business. I promise only to share products and services that I honestly think are good, and you WON'T feel overwhelmed by my communication of them.
3. The satisfaction of knowing that in my maniacal way, I changed the world.
So what do you have to lose, except for the thrill of gambling with your hard-earned advertising dollars!
