Networking at the Crab Shack on Saturday!

It's Saturday Morning and I'm headed over to the Destin Get Together hosted by Willie Crawford and Nicole Dean at the The Crab Trap, 1450 Miracle Strip Pkwy, Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

There's a bunch of folks coming and we'd love to see you there. It's all about networking and coffee apparently. Watch this new Kaufman Sketchbook video below to see what I mean.

MyNAMS Training - Learn what you need when you need to learn it!

The MyNAMS Training system is focused on thorough step-by-step instruction with that meets you where you are. It makes no sense to teach you advanced strategies and techniques when you don't have a blog or website. And teaching you how to install a blog when you have dozens already is ridiculous. First, we determine where you are in your experience and then we point you to the right level of training that will enhance your business experience from Novice to Advanced.

Yes! We teach marketing, traffic generation, technology, keyword research and much more, but only when you're ready. And if you need help just getting the technical aspects of doing business online, we have more than 1300 tutorial videos in the Library.

Look for the icon at the left in the benefits grid to see the specific training options we offer.

MyNAMS Tools - Content, graphics, audio, checklists - we've got it for you!

The MyNAMS Tool belt comes with just about everything you need to get a business up and running. In fact, you can be selling products from the Niche Mall even if you've never sold anything before and don't have a website. One of the most frustrating parts about doing business online is realizing you have to nickel and dime yourself to bankrupcy before you can actually get a site up. Not with us.

We provide you graphics, article content, images, audio clips, reports, sales funnels, turnkey websites, and even adsense website portals so you can begin immediately to create or improve your business with confidence that you don't have to spend a ton more cash.

Promo Lesson Learned

By David Perdew 4 Comments

Don’t do this…

One of the most important things you can do as an online business person is learn from other folks’ mistakes.

God knows, there’s plenty to go around.

But if you’re careful, you can actually turn mistakes into blessings.

I watched yesterday as someone I was working with made a marketing mistake, at least in my mind. So, I wanted to tell you about it and how it worked out to your benefit.

The Gig Prospector is a little Fiverr automation tool that shortens your search time on the big ol’ Fiverr site…if you use the Pro version (remember, I said Pro version) like I showed in the video above.

After several weeks of working with this tool, I was a believer. And I told the developers, Sam England and Matt Green – two really great guys, that they could count on me to promote this because I loved the tool.

Yet, when the launch started, it was the Basic version that people had to buy first (for about $5) to get to the pro version. I thought that was a mistake, but I didn’t say anything. The power, to me, was in the Pro version. With it, you could search, filter, sort and mark favorites to find Gig contractors fast.

Today, after getting my first cup of coffee and sitting down in my chair with my phone in my hand to check e-mail (pitiful, right…), I saw an e-mail from Mike Beek, one of my valued (as they all are) MyNAMS members.

And it wasn’t good.

“Hi David, I went over to read more about GIG Prospector. I’ve never seen more negative feedback about a product before. I don’t use Fiverr yet (do use Elance), but the comments from Fiverr users aren’t very encouraging. Based on your comment I can see why the upgrade is where the ROI comes in.”

Yikes! I jumped over to the Warrior Forum where the Basic version was being sold through a WSO dime sale. Now, I don’t promote many WSOs. I don’t much like that marketplace anymore because it’s so negative, and the folks over there shoot from the hip without investigating the products.

But Mike was right. The feedback was pouring in – and it wasn’t good. (It did improve later on during the day.) People who were complaining were focused on the $5 Basic version – it was the Pro version stripped down. Gig Prospector Pro Version was just much better and alleviated a lot of issues they were having.

I always give away too much value. Mentors yell at me often about that, but I like to overdeliver.

I texted Sam right away, saying that I knew this product was really good, but I didn’t understand why they decided to make people jump through the Basic version hoop to get to the good stuff?

And I didn’t want to do that to my loyal customers.

After all, this Pro version is only $23, well worth that small investment to cut down on the time it takes to find Fiverr contractors.

It was a clear case of marketers getting in their own way. I recognized the well-worn path that I occasionally beat myself.

This is how a real pro marketer responds:

Within a minutes (actually from the time I drove from town to home – 17 miles away), Sam had a new page up just for my folks with my smiling face at the top and no Basic version. Just a straight link to the Pro version. And none of the upgrade nonsense with a straight $23 price. And no Basic version to jump through.

That’s great for all. We get the good stuff without the WSO madness. Sam made a friend for life. And I’m happy to promote Gig Prospector again.

The lesson learned!

When you’ve got something really good, get it to the people! And don’t put a roadblock in front of it.

If you watch the video, you’ll see that I sort about a hundred providers down to 5 good folks really fast.

Now, that’s been my issue along with Fiverr. The quality can be really hit or miss, but I’ve still spent about $400 there over the past 3 years getting stuff done – for the most part really well and quickly.

I’ve included some samples below of some banners I had created at Fiverr.

30 Day Listbuilding Challenge

No List? No Money? No Business!
Finally Build A Profitable List Fast

( heading about learning how to build the frame work)

One of my favorite movies of all time is "Field of Dreams" with Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones. In the beginning of the movie, Ray Kinsella (Costner) hears a mysterious voice in the cornfield whispering, "Build it, and he will come..."

30 Day List Building Challege MultiDiskOriginal450 Baffled at first, Ray figures out that he's supposed to plow under a cornfield and build a baseball field. He works like a dog to create a pristine field in the middle of nowhere for nobody in particular.

And he sits there and waits...and waits...and waits...until the bank threatens to foreclose. Distraught over the dilemma between the magical field and the bank foreclosure, his slimy brother-in-law tries to force him to sell.

Toward the end of the movie, Terrence Mann (Jones) tells Ray:

People will come, Ray.

They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom.

They'll turn up your driveway, not knowing for sure why they're doing it.

They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children...longing for the past.

"Of course, we won't mind if you look around," you'll say.

"It's only $20 per person."

They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it.

For it is money they have and peace they like.

I love the idea this represents: Do something with all the passion that you can muster with a bit of divine purpose thrown in and things will just work out in your favor.

That was the message in "The Secret" movie. I liked that too.

Of course, they both ignore the most important part of the story.

Massive Action! Without Massive Action, nothing happens...

That's one of Einstein's greatest axioms: Nothing happens until something moves.

If you watched "Field of Dreams" you'll see it right away. Ray did a HECKUVA lot of work.

First, he had a vision; then he made a decision; next, he plowed under the cornfield; then, he got in his van and went to Boston to find Terrence Mann (Jones): instead of going straight home, he followed the vision to Minnesota to look up "Moonlight" Graham (Burt Lancaster) and bring him back to the ghost-infested ball field; and finally, he persisted in his passion.

Your online business will NOT survive without massive action. And without passion, massive action is a drag!

If you want to build a massive list, you have to take massive action!

Especially in online business, it's more like "build it, put it on a flat-bed truck, and take it to the people!" That's massive action.

Building your list is Job #1.

Too many people new to online business complain that they aren't making any money online. The first question to ask is how big is your list?

And you can get the answer: What list?

Even small list can can yield great profits if you build great relationships. But it's true that if you want massive amounts of money from your online business, you need a big AND responsive list.

Here's my confession:

I have a small, but VERY responsive list. Nearly 49% of the people my list are buyers. They've purchased something on my site. That's awesome. And I've built great relationships with many of the folks on that buyers' list.

I've mostly ignored "listbuilding" as a practice and relied on organic, lackadaisical efforts.

My mistake. You don't' have to make the same mistake.

We're focusing on listbuilding and taking massive action to profits. Join us!

Listen, it's time to step up, and put some skin in the game.Successful online entrepreneurs have proven that the money is in the list!

No matter how awesome your blog or website is, it can look like a lonely planet. No visitors. No buyers. No sales. Nada.

Indeed, you need traffic. The goal? To build a responsive mailing list…

And then, to make money!

With a list, you have the power to do great things:

Build people's awareness of you, your products and/or services
Connect with customers and potential buyers on a deeper and more personal level
Discover what your target market really wants and needs and give it to them
Keep people engaged with various forms of content
Build a tribe or community of people who trusts you
Get people to act on your suggestions and offers
Plus so much more.

What does that mean to you?

When you have a list, you have the opportunity to make it responsive.

You have people coming back to your site and buying from you.

That's when the money pours in!

For so many people, list building is a goal… and, yes, a dream.

But to most, it remains just that. A dream. Never a reality for reasons like…

I don't know how to build a list
Busy, busy, busy
There are too many tools that I don't know how to use
It's hard to get traffic
I don't know HOW to start

Well, here's the truth. Seeds don't grow in a day. There's a learning curve to list building.

Don't worry. It doesn't have to be a painful experience. It can be super fun and exciting.

with a few lethargic subscribers in your list
with a huge but unresponsive list

You choose. It's an easy choice but you have to make it now!
