(And Definitely Not Based On How Much Money Or Influence You Initially Start Out With!)
You may or may not believe it. But it definitely plays to you or your major competitors long term advantage. For you to have and maintain your own self hosted WordPress blog.
And you periodically, (say at least once a week). Post some relevant and extremely and helpful content. Helping your ideal targeted audience. Because as word continually spreads both on and offline. Your tribe/readership will start routinely stopping by.
And they will occasionally share, like and comment on your awesome content. And this proven process leads to the catalyst for repeatedly creating opportunity.
For literally pennies on the dollar. Anybody else up for that?
Systematically Creating Your Own Opportunity Is Definitely The Way To Go!
When you get or become more proactive towards your most pressing goals. More than likely. There are tons of previously untapped marketing opportunities or previously untapped marketing possibilities.
Just below the immediate surface. Waiting to be discovered or implemented by you or your major competitors.
Proactively Creating Opportunity Opens The Door Extremely Wide To The Long Term Back End!
Before moving forward. consider this potential money making opportunity. Just waiting to happen. At least some of you know, Aweber, my current paid email service provider of choice.
Aweber (as of) the publishing of this particular post. They’re offering a certification to select subscribers. Where upon your acceptance into their program.
(Obviously you need to be using at least the free version of their service. And you can demonstrate a sound understanding of the features of their platform.)
That said, once you’re certified. Aweber will gladly list you or your major competitors in their directory. So interested parties can hire you or I for ongoing projects. As they relate to social media promotions, web design, email marketing, PPC (Pay Per Click) ad campaigns etc.
Typically There’s Always At Least An Untapped Opportunity Or Two Buried Just Beneath The Surface! (Waiting To Be Discovered!)
Here’s the potentially profitable marketing twist. For both Aweber & everybody else involved. (Including other reputable paid email service providers.)
What “if” instead of just letting entrepreneurs, (their subscribers) apply to be considered for the certification.
Aweber periodically, say once every quarter. Every 90 days give or take. They offered their own paid certification course for their subscribers only. Taught by their most qualified and skilled employees/instructors.
And let’s say 1% of their 110,000 customers leap at the chance to take their certification course. (110,000 x .01 = 1,100 customers.
The hypothetical marketing example math works out like this. 1,100 x $97 dollars = $106,700 dollars goes into Aweber’s owners bank account. 😎
But far more importantly. These certified agents will be personally trained, (certified!) by Aweber’s most qualified employees/instructors.
So Aweber’s owner(s) are insured of the quality of the training. And these certified reps will further enhance/grow Aweber’s brand within the industry.
Don’t Be Afraid To Get Creative! (Your Target Audience Will Love You For Doing So!)
And just to take things just a tad farther. Suppose some extremely marketing savvy entrepreneurs decide to license Aweber’s product and proven processes.
So they first have their associates take Aweber’s certification training. Then they of course they repackage it. And raise the price of their newly released training. 😎
And make money on the initial front end. But clearly their front end expenses also explode too. 😎 But on the initial long term back end.
They will also become registered affiliates for Awebers service. And every student customer who takes their course. And signs up for Aweber’s service via the course promoters affiliate link.
They save X% off the current retail price of the training. Plus qualify for some additional free, (far more advanced email and social media marketing trainings!) worth X. 😎
And of course the trainees are free and highly encouraged, (and expertly trained!) to sign up as many local business owners or service providers as they possibly can.
Knowing full well Aweber’s award winning customer care service reps will gladly provide all of the customer service details. Hopefully Aweber’s brand and influence continues to grow.
As does their bottom line. 😎 This is just a small sample of “how” creating opportunity is primarily a developed mindset. Don’t you agree?
