“Call the Radio Station to Book an Interview!”

Call the radio station and book an interview by following these tips:

1.) Call the producers, not the hosts.
2.) Log all your phone calls. Keep track of who you called and when you called.
Use a database program such as Excel to keep track of radio station information. List names, phone numbers, and a log of the phone calls you made.
3.) Keep your pitch short.
4.) Get the producer on the phone. You will often be directed to voicemail of the producer. Leave your pitch and repeat your phone number twice. Wait two days for them to call you back. Two days later call back. This time when you get their voicemail hit “0”. Ask the operator if you can page them. 95% of the time the operator will page the producer.
5.) typical responses you will receive from producers:

1.) When are you available? They are asking for a time slot that you are available.
Tip: Pitch for the time slot of the morning drive shows from 7:30 – 8:30am because you’ll have the highest number of captive listeners.

2.) Can you send me something (email or press kit)?

3.) Not now, but try back later. Ask when you should call back.

4.) We’re not interested, but our sister station may like. Use this referral.

5.) We’re not interested.

Tip: Be aware that radio has huge turnover. Update your contact database at least every six months. So you can pitch the same show in a few months.

Tip: Avoid taped interview shows because you don’t have any control over when your interview is aired. They may not even air the show at all. Try to talk the producer out of a taped interview.

Tip: When you are booking an interview make sure you know the name of the hosts and the hotline number. You need to know the hotline number so you can call them if you are going to be late. The hotline number is different then the audience call in number.

You got the Interview. So how it should go?

You need to take charge and show up with an agenda. Have a bullet pointed list that you can go over. You want to give out as much information as possible. This prompts the listeners to trust you and know that you will give them even more information in the product that you are selling.

During your introduction, which is the first 60 seconds, you should establish two things. 1.) Why are you an authority? Talk about your credentials.
2.) Why should people listen to you? Give evidence as to why you are the expert on this topic. Give your back story. They prefer personal experience to people that have PhD’s.

During the meat of your interview let the radio show host ask you the first question. When you finish answering the question then go into another question/topic. Go into each topic so you can control the interview. Of course, answer questions from the host and listeners as they arise.

“MySpace – A free database of leads.”

Do you know about MySpace? Have you heard friends or colleagues talk about MySpace? Have you seen news about MySpace on the Internet, TV, and newspapers? If not then you must have been living under a rock. MySpace is relatively new, but is used by millions of people. Therefore, you should integrate a MySpace strategy into your Internet business.

There are many advantages of myspace. For example, you can obtain leads by creating “friends” on MySpace. When you open a MySpace account you get a “friends” list. MySpace is free social networking. 171 million people are on MySpace. If MySpace were a country it would be the sixth largest country in the world.

MySpace has demographics that are broken down by age, sex, geographic location, and income levels. MySpace is essentially a free database. You can target people based on demographics and ask them to be your “friends”. Once you build the “friends” list then you can market to them.

Being able to grab this information about MySpace is extremely powerful!

MySpace also lets you do blogging. Blogging is powerful in MySpace because it is free and other MySpace people can find your Blog. They can ask you to be their friend after reading your Blog.

Why do MySpace pages translate into making money? An example is a magician that created a MySpace page. He made money working at trade show events. He wanted to get a friends list of event planners through MySpace. You can go to Google and find people in MySpace using these keyword demographics. He then sent all those people an email. He ended up getting several event bookings as a result of creating this type of database.

Check out these Internet statistics…
6.4 billion searches are done per month using Internet search engines.
42% of people click on the first result in the search engine results. Then it drops off significantly. So if your website isn’t listed in the top spots on Google then you are missing out on website traffic.

Utilize the power of the Internet along with MySpace and watch your leads grow exponentially. You can open a MySpace account in a matter of minutes.

Components of a Powerful Website

How do you create a powerful website? Following are list of action items that will help create a powerful website.

You have to create heroin content. This type of content is content that sells a product that everybody wants and has to have. Heroin content is content that gets people to take action on a product that benefits both you and the customer.

You have to capture leads. You need to obtain the personal information of website visitors so you can market to them over and over.

You need to generate large amount of traffic. You can create a beautiful website, but if nobody visits your website then you won’t make money. You have to have a powerful design and traffic.

You can use the Internet to increase networking.

Your website needs to be easy to find. You can accomplish this through Search Engine Optimization (SEO). SEO makes the search engines want to find your website.

Your domain name helps (or hinders) how people find you.

Your website should provide solutions to customers’ problems. People go to websites because they have a problem that they want solved. You need to be the person that solves their problems.

You should have a good layout and design on your website. For example, you need a squeeze page.

You always want to have crisp clean lines that are easy to read. Your website has to be readable! If your website is difficult read then customers will go away.

Make sure your website is easy to navigate. For example, it should be easy to find your contact information on your website.

Your website should have a modern look and feel. Your website reflects who you are and what you are doing in your business.

You don’t need to have something expensive to sell on a website.

Think about your domain names. Website search engines, such as Google, see your domain name as keywords. This is how they rank you against your competitors.

How does your domain name tie in with the business you run? Your domain name should reflect the products and services you sell. Essentially, your domain should have a purpose and intent related to your business.

Create more products to sell. You can create a product from a top ten list. For example, if you are a lawyer you can create a top ten list of things to do to find the best lawyer. This top ten list can be converted in a product that you can sell on your website.

Offer free Autoresponder series, newsletters, and downloads in exchange for a customer’s name and email address. This allows you to continually market to your client list. Offer incentives that encourage your customers to purchase more items.

Your Road Map To Success…

You’ve got to plan your way to success…

When it comes to promoting yourself or your company, you’ve got to put it down on paper. For example, recently my wife and I went over our 52-week plan and our sales funnel.

We went through the whole process that you would take from when you first find out about me and my business until you join my coaching program.

When you write things down like this, it forces you to flesh out your ideas and allows you to have a record of them in the future.

Like I said once in a meeting,

“How can you hit your target, if you don’t know where you are aiming?”

The Critical Importance of a Powerful Internet Presence.

What is the purpose of an Internet business website? An Internet business website gives you a presence on the Internet. The purpose of this website is to give you worldwide exposure. You can send products to people all over the world. You can deliver information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You don’t have to sit at your computer; you can earn money while you sleep!

If you do not have a website or you have a website that is not making you massive amounts of money then you are missing out. Your competitors have a powerful Internet presence and every minute of everyday they are snatching up the profit that could have been yours.

What is the purpose of creating a powerful Internet presence? How does this differ from having a simple website?

A powerful Internet presence makes connecting and networking with people all over the world much easier. You should significantly revise your website every 2 years to keep pace with the change in business and technology. Think about it, you wouldn’t wear clothing styles from the 1970’s, so your website shouldn’t be behind the times either!

If your website is not designed effectively or with the latest technology then customers will get a bad impression about your business. Plus, people have an even shorter attention span on the Internet then they did in the past. For example, increases in connection speeds have shortened the attention span of Internet businesses.

As of 2006 the average time a person will spend looking at an Internet webpage is 9 seconds. In 2007, it decreased to 7 seconds! This means that you have to captivate people with your website within 7 seconds. Otherwise, they will go to your competitor’s website. The goal is to not only capture their attention, but to get them to take action and buy your products and services.

Another benefit about selling on the Internet is that you can sell more items at once. Plus, you can automate the selling process. You can make money when you sleep. You can sell something that didn’t cost you any money to manufacturer or ship.

You can also sell products and services not available in any other format. For example, you can sell e-books on your website.

Analyze your Internet website. Does it utilize all the technological tools available? Do you have a powerful Internet presence or just an average run of the mill website?

Promoting Tips

There are many ‘gurus’ out there that will present information they regurgitated or read in a book a few days before they speak with you.

If that is what you are looking for, then you have come to the wrong place.

This incongruencey has hurt Your pocketbook.

And I’m here to put that money back in your pocket.

Here’s how:

For over two years I have promoted Mark Victor Hanson, Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, Mike Litman, Les Brown, and Many more……and now I get to sit on my butt and make money in my underwear.

I will teach you everything I’ve learned from promoting the Top Experts in the world.

For example: My Internet Magazine called, “Millionaire Minutes,” on Wealth Building, grew from 897 to 10,971 in less than 29 days.

Prepare for the truth on how things work behind the scenes.

You can sell ANYTHING on EBay!

Do you like to fix old TVs? Maybe not, but many people do. Think of all the garage sales where people buy items because they want to fix them up or restore them. This same idea can be applied to EBay. You can sell broken and old items on EBay. People will buy them!

If you do sell items that have wear and tear just make sure you let people know that the item is broken or used. You would be amazed at what people will buy. For example, one lady sold 6 half used lipsticks for $53. Don’t look at your old stuff as “junk”, but as “treasures”. When they are “things” no one wants them, but when they are called “items” everybody wants them.

So where should start when looking for items to sell on EBay?
Everything you own, regardless of their condition, has cash value. Everybody has something that they can sell. Look through your attic. Look through your closet. Look in your garage. Every area has items that you no longer need. You can sell these things on EBay.

Some of the items sold on EBay are crazy. One person sold a cane that was supposedly haunted by it previous owner. Guess how much the cane was sold for? $65,000! Another person sold an empty bottle of cologne for $32!

You can also go to garage sales and thrift stores to find products to sell. This can be in addition to selling items that you already have.

How do you start selling on EBay? You need to “list” your item. Listing your item is a simple process.

Note that you only get 55 characters for your listing title. Grammar is irrelevant. However, spelling is critical! If you spell things incorrectly then people can’t find it.

The title you put in your listing has a huge affect on the number of people that view your website. For example, a poor listing title can only bring in 2,000 views while the correct listing title can bring in 12,000 views.

There are more steps to follow that you should learn from an EBay guru. You can also peruse top power sellers on EBay and see how they set up their listings.

Step #3: Photos on your EBay listing are extremely important. Three things for photos: Dress appropriately, never use a flash, and use a really small file size. You need a small file size so that it loads quickly. Otherwise, if it takes too long to load then people will click off your website.

Step #4: Sell stuff you already own. This allows you to easily sell things you have and earn positive feedback.
