Dear
Emma and Preston,
Following
the steps outlined in the original Boron Letters, I set out
to create an information product to sell. Also, I was looking
for a hungry crowd of motivated buyers hopefully with a need
I could help solve.
The
idea that struck me was to create a whole campaign designed
to sell financial information to people affected by or in fear
of the coming recession.
I
thought this would be a great time to run an ad on how to profit
from the recession.
Here
is my master plan. I want to run an ad in IBD (Investor's Business
Daily). The ad will be long enough to make sure the headline
is visible in the top half of the paper or "over the fold"
as they say in the business.
The
headline for my ad is…
How
To Make A Boatload Of Cash From The Looming Recession!
The
ad goes on to explain that I know a lot of inside experts in
the real estate, stock market, banking and so on and that I
am willing to give away a report on how rich people are making
money off of the bad economy.
The
short lead generating ad will tell them to e-mail me for the
free report.
Once
they send me an e-mail, an automatic e-mail with the free report
attached is sent to them immediately. This names we get are
what we call leads and since that is the goal of the ad, you
can see why they call it a lead generating ad.
Now
I may have to change the fact that they can only e-mail me to
a phone number or some other way of taking their information.
However, if I can get a good list of people who were willing
to go from reading the paper to e-mail me for the report, those
will be hot prospects and I can use that list to make a lot
of money.
I'll
discuss this more later when I explain how to write an ad.
The
next step in the master plan will be to send them a very informative
report for free as promised and ask them for nothing. This will
hopefully make them happy and think nice things about me.
About
a week later, they will get an e-mail from me, explaining what
the big players in the stock market are doing.
I'll
give them very good info and at the end of the free report explain
that we know a guy who is successful playing the market and
teaches people how to do so. If they want more info on him,
they can click on a link to see his advertising.
The
person with the course sends them the product and we split the
money. This by the way is a standard joint venture deal for
information products.
The following week,
I will send them a report on how to live off of interest and
it will pitch nobody and again give them great info for free.
Then
I will send them a report on how people are making money from
the government bailouts. It will explain how they affect the
currency markets, which is called the FOREX market. At the end
of that report, I tell them that if any of that info sounds
good to them, they should invest in another associate's course
on FOREX trading.
Of
course there will be a link to his marketing and we will split
any money that comes in 50/50.
After
the ad runs, the only thing I will have to do is send out e-mails.
In fact, I won't even have to do that because Kevin will take
care of it.
Since
we have no expenses at all, to make a profit, all we have to
do is make at least $2,500 from the ad. The products we are
recommending are all high-ticket items and sell for around 5,000.
With my deal, I get half of that which means we only need to
get one sale to stick (not refund) to be profitable.
Suppose
the ad brings me 700 names of people interested in knowing how
to make money in this economy. Let's assume the ad costs $2,500.
That means each name would cost $3.57.
If we sold 10 units
we could have an 80% return rate and still make money. This
is exactly the kind of numbers your grand father loved.
So
with our math we need to sell 2 out of 700. That is only one
third of one percent.
Wait,
it gets even better.
Since
I will be sending them great information often, I can keep making
them different offers.
Those
that don't buy information on trading currencies may be interested
in how to make money in other ways. They could be more interested
in the foreclosures or the stock market.
My
favorite part of this plan is that I have unlimited number of
attempts to make it profitable because there are no costs whatsoever
in sending out an e-mail.
Now
I keep saying that I provide them good info and people might
wonder how I am sure that I am doing so. The answer is simple.
I get all my information from good sources and I have always
been a student of business. But, let us suppose I knew nothing
about the financial industry. There would still be nothing to
stop me from gathering material from experts and having them
help author the reports to link to their own products.
Many
people do just that and have most of their material is provided
by affiliates who want the exposure.
Well
that is the master plan kids.
Love,
Pop
