Sam, My Border Collie's Internet Marketing Advice!No: 4You have permission to publish this articleelectronically or in print, FREE of charge,as long as the bylines are included and youonly mail to a 100% opt-in list.Sam (that's my 12 year old Border Collie) and I werewalking again through the Bush (Australian countryside).Sam as usual was ranging out from me checking for theEucalyptus trees that needed his marketing skills.When we reached our usual rock beside the fallen log,Sam asked, "Gordon! you know how you work hardpublishing that e-zine of yours? Well I think youcould do better."What do you mean I could do better Sam? I thought itwas going fairly well. I get good feedback on a weeklybasis."Well", said Sam, "I'll bet you get the feedback fromonly a small percentage of your subscribers and anotherpercentage only subscribe to get the FREE ads""Besides what about the program you've become a memberof? Is it going as well as you'd like?"I thought it was going fairly well Sam! Don't forgetI've got to support the new members until they becomeprofitable and that takes up a bit of time."Look!" retorted Sam, "Are you fully occupied with yourdownline support? In other words couldn't you supporta lot more new people in your downline if you had to?"I suppose I could Sam, but it's a bit slow at the momentso I don't have to worry too much about that."You can't think like that!" said Sam. You said, youwere committed to helping and training up new people tobecome Professional Internet Marketers."Well I am Sam, what's all the fuss about?"You really don't see it do you! You are only halfoccupied with downline support, so why don't you getmore new people to train and support in your downlineright now? Today!"Well it's not as easy as just getting new people, theyhave to be interested in becoming new members. It's abit like getting new subscribers for The E-zine. Ittakes a lot of advertising just to keep the subscriberlist growing each week."I can't believe you could be such a silly Galah! (anAustralian member of the Parrot family known for itssilly antics). Look! There are thousand and thousandsof Internet marketers constantly looking for betterways to become profitable marketing on the Net.Why don't you learn from my old mate down in the creek?Old Platty the Platypus puddles up all the mud at theedges of the creek. This sends a cloud of advertisingif you like to call it that and attracts the Barramundiwho support him by joining him to feed for FREE."Oh for goodness sake Sam, you're just being ridiculous,how can that possibly relate to Internet marketing?"OK" sighed Sam, "let me try and explain it in yourconvoluted terms. You have two things, a 100% optine-zine and a great program, don't you?"Yes Sam, I have, so what?"If you run a simple little contest in your e-zinesomething like this:Lets say you give away a FREE Sponsor ad to a winnerwho subscribes to the special marketing Newsletterthat your program publishes and you run this contestin your own e-zine. Now what would happen?"Without waiting for an answer Sam continued;"You would find more subscribers would actually readyour e-zine looking for the various contests so theycan advertise for FREE. Also they would all the getbenefits from the knowledge they get for FREE in theprogram's newsletter.Also, when more people realise how valuable that newknowledge is, you will find that more and more willjoin with you just to get your support and training.Surely that makes sense to you now, hey! You don'tthink that I don't make use of the FREE Ad contestsdo you?"OK Sam, I'll give it a go. I just wish you'd pointedme in this direction months ago instead of leaving ittill now. Come on mate you'd better take me home it'salmost time for lunch. What words of wisdom are yougoing to come up with tomorrow Sam?"None if we don't soon get home for lunch!" Sam alwayshas to have the last word.=======================================================©2002Gordon Brownlie Gordon is an Internet Marketeerbased in Australia.
