How Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has improved my marketing

February 16, 2012 By Brian Leave a Comment
bjj1

Approximately six months ago I started training (consistently) in what is known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, based on a recommendation of a friend of mine Chris Reichert. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or "Bjj" as often nicknamed online is a martial art, combat sport and self defense system that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. It's been made widely popular by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and is a very important discipline that Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters must master to be any … [Read more...]

Rigged online contests and competitors doing anything to win

February 10, 2012 By Brian 1 Comment

I would like to formally announce that I will no longer be competing in any online popularity contests, especially generic ones that don't require a sign-up and will count anything as a vote that has a unique IP address. Since the beginning of online popularity/voting contests, people have been out there either rigging them so their buddies win or competitors "cheating" and doing anything they can to win. Very famous people have openly admitted to buying votes and doing things at "any … [Read more...]

Top Bad Habits of Affiliate Networks

February 6, 2012 By Brian 1 Comment

The sheer volume of similar affiliate networks and other companies at Affiliate Summit West 2012 drove me and readers of the blog here absolutely nuts! I talked with a lot of people that are wondering why affiliate networks all lack originality these days. And the general consensus is that they don't even realize it but they are all playing it safe. Nobody is out there being aggressive right now, except a handful of companies that are at the top of the heap. Why do I think this is happening? … [Read more...]

Do you show personal interest in your prospects?

January 27, 2012 By Brian Leave a Comment

Friday is finally here and it's time to unwind a bit. Or, is it time to work harder for the weekend? Either way, this is something that I thought was really important to talk about today. Showing personal interest is often one of the most forgotten aspects of marketing and sales. Whether you're an affiliate, an affiliate network, entrepreneur, or something else this is very important for you. It's going to make you significant money this year if you actively employ this approach. Let's … [Read more...]

Who said Terms of Service Agreements can’t be funny?

January 23, 2012 By Brian 1 Comment

I recently came to the conclusion that a proper Terms of Service on Daily Conversions would be a good idea. I reached out to my lawyer Aaron Kelly who just started a new Terms of Service/Private Policy/Legal Protection business called Snap Terms and I asked him to draft one. I was expecting a very traditional terms of service that you'd normally see online. However, Aaron drafted me something totally different and at first I was taken back a step but after I read the Terms of Service … [Read more...]

A challenge to all online marketers

January 19, 2012 By Brian Leave a Comment

I decided to put up this challenge that I'm personally going through right now. I think it's one of the best ways to get additional business, find new opportunities, making more sales, whatever your goal is right now. It's geared toward getting you lots of connections and making more money in under 30 days, and it doesn't require any real "work". The only work that is required is contacting people that you don't know or don't know well. Here's how it works. Step 1: Pick 50 target … [Read more...]

Affiliate Summit West 2012 Recap

January 12, 2012 By Brian 2 Comments

This year's Affiliate Summit West went really well, it was perhaps the most beneficial one I've been to. I think that would have to be attributed to the fact that it was also the biggest one ever, and basically everyone was there that's involved in the affiliate space. It also seemed that the trend was to throw small private parties to do networking in smaller groups. The Affiliate Ball and the Affiliate Fight Night although both extremely cool, were also extremely crowded and you couldn't … [Read more...]

The great mystery of brand loyalty

January 5, 2012 By Brian 2 Comments

There's a strange phenomenon out there that makes people extremely loyal to certain brands. Apple is a good example, and being an loyal Apple customer I'm going to try to demystify this crazy brand loyalty phenomenon. I personally would buy almost any product that Apple has, just because it's Apple and I know they make products that I like. Though, I know a lot of people wouldn't. This means that in 2012 I will most likely buy an iPad 3, iPhone 5 and maybe even an Apple TV. It's almost a … [Read more...]

Why You Should Never Listen to Your Customers

January 1, 2012 By Brian Leave a Comment

I was reading an interesting article recently by Mark Cuban (owner of the Dallas Maverick, multi-billionaire internet entrepreneur) and I was quite intrigued by his thoughts on NOT listening to your customers and I couldn't agree more. If you think about the following, it makes a lot of sense. Why would you want to listen to your customers thoughts on what features they want to see in your product/service and then implement those? Your competitors might be out there inventing the future that … [Read more...]

New Year, New Marketing Goals

December 28, 2011 By Brian Leave a Comment

Things are changing fast in the internet marketing world. Specific tactics that worked well in 2011 aren't going to necessarily work well in 2012. What is going to work well in 2012 may not work well in 2013. Times are changing fast, competition is getting smarter and you have to be 3 steps ahead these days to be competitive and keep the profit rolling. I'm headed down to Affiliate Summit West 2012 in about a week and believe me it's going to be a very busy event. Not only do I have to check … [Read more...]
