Here’s an interesting post titled Beach Blogging in Belize. Overview of working remotely and how to do it effectively. Great headlines in this blog by the way. A primer in itself.
Is there a new style to marketing?. Certainly there are new means to find and communicate with those who might use or be interested in your product or service. Obviously a lot of this is happening offline. An email promoting an online marketing system said there was. What I liked most was the recap in a few points of what we need to achieve in the process of marketing, or more simply stated, make the sale. We have to understand why people might make a decision. It’s starts with pain, problems or needs on their behalf, real or perceived, and we must show how we can provide a solution to that problem.
Try to spot these things as you look at other successful marketers or companies, both online and offline. Note this list was developed for an online campaign in a Web 2.0 world of social networking. Much of it applies to offline marketing or an online/offline mix as well.
- Pain and Problems
- Identifying with it
- Provide Solutions
- Reason Why Sale
- Urgency
- Scarcity
- Social Proof
- Why you should Listen to me
- Testimonials
- A BIG promise
- Subtle Life Style with Success Images
- Guarantee
- The "Offer"
- Value Build
… and of course, a final Price with
what else…
A CALL TO ACTION
It’s a good list to keep handy when designing or reviewing your campaign.
Have a great day!

(At the Rempel Group and our RG Publishing Network we’re attempting to implement the solutions to the pain/problem/need research at new sites with free information and downloads. An added benefit for visitors will be a free support and research service. Here’s a link to a list of some of our most recent new sites-new and most popular RG Network research and resource sites. Mexico is a big part of our future plans, personally and business wise. Our Mexico info blog continues to be our most popular site. We’re proud to say that beta testing has started, or will start soon, with several new Mexico related domains, with Best of Mexico resources and info being first to come online.)
At the same time as I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to model two or three successful people to reach my personal goals in the shortest possible time, this email came in today promoting a coaching or mentoring program. It’s worth repeating I thought. I’ve accepted finally for myself that modelling could also be in the form of direct or indirect personal coaching, not just watching from afar or up close. This is quite tough to accept for someone, middle age, with an ego, who has "been there…done that" in his life. I have someone in mind to start and I’m promising myself today to make the contact. I’ll let you know.
Have a great day!

""One of my clients came to me with a product
he was already selling, looking for a way to
boost sales. After a few conversations, one of
the pieces he was missing from his business was
building a list of email subscribers he could
follow up with. I helped him clearly see how by
building a list he followed up with, he can
do a better job pre selling his prospects
(especially since it has a high priced product.)
I started going over how to build a squeeze page
to get people to subscribe to his list, how to
drive traffic to his page and how to create
content for the email sequence and the free
report he’d give away to the people who subscribe.
After telling him about the report and email
messages, he froze in his tracks because of
one of the most common concerns I get,
"I don’t write much… what do I say?"
I showed him a few techniques on how to get
the creative juices flowing but it all started
with learning what makes your market tick.
I showed him how to discover the current
conversations in his field by researching his
keywords on blog search engines like Technorati.com
He had to find the top 3-5 questions, comments,
concerns that were out there regarding his product.
Boy did he find them! When we spoke the next
time he was excited just to know that
information but I let him in on a secret.
Write a reply to each of those 5 concerns.
And he did. Next I told him that he just
created his email sequence! We tweaked it a
bit but it was done!
Now it was time to do the report, and again he
got worried about what to write. I asked him
about those 5 objections he found, the emails
he wrote, and told him to string the emails
together into one document. Voila, he has a
report! He added a bit more content to the
report to round it out (by now he was loving
the writing part), added a few pictures and
links to his sales letter (which wasn’t done
at this point).
Now the sales letter to get people to subscribe
with their name and email address. Well he
already had a report that flowed well so he
used it as a basis point for the sales letter.
After tweaking it to add elements that is taught
in Step 4 of the Nitro Blueprint System, he was
good to go!
He went from not wanting to write anything and
being "stuck", to discovering what his market
really wanted, to creating an email sequence,
to creating a report, and eventually the sales
letter all from the same core information!
To this day he can’t believe that he was able
to do it but like all action takers, he did!"
You may not know this, but having coaches and
mentors in my life has been a CRITICAL reason
for my success in business.
I personally spend over $10,000 a year just
to receive personal coaching (not to mention
what I spend to further my learning such
as seminars and training programs.)
Read any magazine article, biography book or
interview of somebody who has excelled in
their life - from athletes like Tiger Woods
and Michael Jordan, to business icons like
Michael Dell and Warren Buffet.
They all say having a coach and mentors were instrumental
for their success. Not to mention, the greatest
book on success, Think And Grow Rich, advises
the importance of having a coach.
Even the President of the United States has
an entire team of advisors.
So instead of reinventing the wheel, I have
followed what has been proven to be successful
and for years (starting before I was even successful)
I have had coaches and mentors.
If you agree too, then set up a time to talk with
a member of our team to see if you would
be a good fit for the next available opening
to work one-on-one with our expert coaches.
The first step is a simple one.

When I first started trying to make money on the Internet, I knew nothing about Internet Marketing. I mean NOTHING. I had never even heard of an autoresponder and I didn’t know a single thing about earning an online income.
In fact, the only thing I did know was that people made money online on way or another - and I wanted to do it too!
I had just completed an NLP (Neuro-Linguistic- Programming) course. In a nutshell, NLP is a modern day type of psychology used and taught by Top Trainers like Tony Robbins.
One thing that seriously caught my attention was the importance of modeling.
No, not "doing the catwalk"…
I mean modeling what other successful people do.
Not only discovering what they are doing, but also the thought processes behind their actions, so that others can re-create their success.
You model their process.
Now that is all well and fine if you have someone in front of you who you can SEE doing the things that creates wealth online.
Then logic states, that if you copy EXACTLY what they are doing in the same order, with all of the same ingredients… then you will achieve the same or similar results.
Only this way, you’ll achieve them a hell of a lot faster!
Why? Because you don’t have to go through the same learning curve as them.
By leveraging the time and money that these guys have already invested, you can save years of your life, and tens of thousands of dollars that would otherwise have been wasted.
Following everything to the letter, you will emulate their success formula and experience almost supernatural profits!
Unfortunately, I didn’t have anyone sat there in front of me to copy. So many years later, tens of thousands of dollars poorer (before I started to earn REAL money online), here I am writing to you.
I started studying the successful marketers to find common threads between what they did and how they did it.
There were a lot of contradicting ideas out there. As well as the gazillion methods, opportunities, plans and programs that people were teaching or inviting me to join.
So I tried program after program - strategy after strategy but without much success. I was getting so lost in the maze of Internet Marketing, that I had no idea how to become and stay profitable online!
Quitting was NOT an option as I’d already invested too much time, energy, money and resources. And I could feel that I was only a stones throw away from cracking the secret code. I could smell success… It was already mine. It had my name on it. All I had left to do was figure out precisely where it really was…
Maybe that’s exactly where you are at today, but one thing is for certain - Success comes to those that seek it, not to those that shy away from it. And it’s the natural conclusion of applying practical working strategies that get results.
I wanted to find out exactly where the money was, and how I was going to get it from "OUT THERE" and transfer it into my own bank account.
So instead of learning even more "killer tactics" and "secret strategies" I just started implementing all the things I already knew.
Trying everything I’d learned to see what works - discarding what didn’t, and keeping what did.
I wanted to get to a point where I knew for certain that…
… Because this time around I would ONLY be focusing on what was going to bring HARD SOLID CASH into my bank account - and fast!
Not wasting my time jumping from one thing to another. Not trying to find the next money making program that MIGHT give me some kind of return.
Something that I could start again if need be, with next to no money at all and build myself an online business that paid me thousands of dollars a month - Guaranteed! "
