Do you know of any individuals who not only have really small kids (say) under ten or barely teenagers? And parents who are pretty elderly as well and definitely need additional TLC (Tender Loving Care.) And parents of the small kids are the ones in the middle.
Who either can’t afford or are currently not willing to place their elderly parent(s) in a reputable senior care facility. But they also definitely have their hands full simultaneously raising small to teenage kids of their own.
This group is often referred to as the sandwich generation. And even though the above situation can be or quickly become a financial burden on those temporarily stuck in the middle. It’s one of the most underutilized business growth solutions waiting to be discovered and effectively utilized by you or your major competitors. Huh?
In business this exact same temporary or permanent arrangement can be or quickly become the evergreen gateway to some major long term gross front and back end, previously untapped marketing opportunities or possibilities.
As you or you major competitors are about to discover….
Profitable Entrepreneurship Is Definitely About Systematically Creating Opportunity!
Let me share with you a real life (documented case study) in order to get your previously untapped creative marketing and promotional juices flowing in the right direction.
As some of you already know. My expert seven figure earning coach, mentor and friend James McAllister of jamesmcalisteronline.com fame. He has officially launched (opened) his state of the art paid membership site.
In fact simply by clicking the image below. You will be immediately re-directed to his site via my affiliate link. (Just so you know.)
The new paying members who join are definitely looking forward to accessing all of the current and future content, right? For sure. And then consider the many co-content creators who James is leveraging our proven expertise.
Not only by giving us a major platform to demonstrate our given areas of expertise. But he (and others in his exact same entrepreneurial position.) He could have us each record a 90-120 minute webinar workshop/presentation.
Upload it to his site. Then sell higher end, far more advanced versions or packages on the back end. Let’s say these packages typically start at $697 and go up to $4,997 dollars for a 4-6 week long virtual boot camp of some kind.
And James strategically sits in the middle of this so called “Sandwich Marketing” strategy. And gets anywhere from 25-50% of those initial front and back end gross profits from the sale of these initial front and and more advanced back end packages or promotions.
Entrepreneur please tell me you can see and readily appreciate this rather basic, extremely watered down marketing strategy and tactic.? (Which truth told is barely even scratching the surface of long term marketing possibilities.) But moving right alone.
Who Says Strategically Being Positioned In The Middle Can’t Be Or Quickly Become Extremely Profitable?
Or what about this. James can form as many potentially profitable back end structured JV (Joint Venture) power partnership arrangements as he possibly can with the various current and future co-content creators such as myself.
And now we do a little reverse JV engineering. Say what? Entrepreneur don’t forget or neglect the fact. James McAllister has been consistently earning a full time living online for over a decade and some change. (You go cat.)
And during all this time he’s definitely developed and nurtured some incredibly valuable skills and contacts and highly influential connections etc. Which is “how” and “why” he can and does consult with retail business owners who already gross seven and eight figures per year. (And they know others who do as well.)
Which means as I and other current and future co- content creators come across retailers or extremely high earning service providers who can definitely benefit from James-s proven on and offline marketing skills, connections assets and resources etc.
We can readily recommend and refer them directly to James. And let James (and his expert team of various specialist) decide to take this particular prospect on as a potential repeat customer.
And let’s say James initially charges them anywhere from $1,500 – $4,500 dollars a month. And he readily pays us a set ongoing affiliate or JV revenue share fee of 30%. Or X of all monthly generated revenue per client. Not bad right?
Again Try Not To Just See And Focus On The Tree Of Previously Untapped Marketing Possibilities! (Entrepreneur Try And See The Entire Forest Of Previously Untapped Marketing Opportunities!
Because for every client we send him who he charges $4,500 dollars a month or X. In this particular -hypothetical marketing case- only.
We earn an additional $1,350 dollars per month. Entrepreneur even if it took you and I seventeen months to eventually find two clients at the $4,500 dollars (or higher end) per month revenue generating phase.
And those two clients stuck with James for at least another 13 total months. And you and I earned a grand total $2,700 dollars a month. For a grand total of $35,100 dollars in additional gross income. Again don’t make the extremely short sighted mistake of laser focusing on the specific numbers.
Instead you have to see the overall marketing concepts being presented. Because that’s truly where the best long term previously untapped marketing possibilities are. (And will remain.)
But hopefully you get the overall theme of this particular blog post, correct?
This Is How You Or Your Major Competitors Make Systematically Being Positioned In The Middle Really Work Overtime For You!
So take another extremely hard look at the (hopefully!) familiar screenshot image below. Recognize it? I sincerely hope so. It’s the cover image of the 60 plus minute MP3 recording James and I did.
However simply by clicking the image. You will automatically be re-directed to a link which gives you or your major competitors direct access to the 1st ten minutes of the entire 60 minute recording. The retail marketing appetizer if you will. (Enjoy.)
The entire 60 minute recording is available to the paying members of his membership site. But any and all of the current and future co- content creators are certainly welcome to either:
A.) Give it away to their best and highly influential off or online B2B customers and clients as a special “Thank You!” for doing business with us free bonus gift valued at X.
B.) Or bundle it with some of their other extremely valuable, lower end digital products or services. As a free bonus gift valued at X. Simply for signing up for a seven to fourteen day free trial service of some kind.
C.) Or give it away, along with other bundled, digital information products as an extremely time sensitive “fast action bonus bundle gift” worth X. The free exposure literally has tons of additional, long term potentially money making and further credibility establishing benefits. Don’t you agree?
(And of course the reverse works equally as well. Meaning yours truly can systematically leverage their lower end digital products and services as well.)
So hopefully more than enough has not only been said but demonstrated as well. So you now better appreciate “how” you or your major competitors can monetize your current or future “sandwich marketing” situations. Agreed? Great.
And hopefully you now much better appreciate what the so called “Sandwich Generation” can teach you or your major competitors about mega proven business growth solutions. Agreed?
(Extremely important note: Entrepreneur any one of the above three hypothetical marketing strategies could be, systematically A/B split tested and ultimately tweaked and gradually developed into some permanent long term profit centers.)

Totally awesome coach!
And sorry to hear you’ve haven’t been feeling good lately.
And I would agree it’s probably because you
definitely are constantly working yourself under the table! LOL!
I for one definitely can’t wait to to study your Audacity course!
Because I know doing so will definitely help me and so many others get to the
very next level or two!
And I also have no doubt very soon you’ll be consistently filling your
pipeline with four and five figure a month clients.
And of course you already know, any and everything I can do to help!
I’m always more than happy to do so! LOL!
Talk soon coach! I’ll definitely sharing this comment to future blog posts!
Along with your tour video! LOL!
Hey Mark! Apologies that it took me so long to get to this post. I haven’t been feeling well, probably because I’ve been working myself to death hahaha.
Great stuff man. You always give so many good examples both on how to utilize partnerships / JVs in creative ways, and how entrepreneurs can make the most out of all the resources they have just by getting creative.
You also see the value in the back-end.
One of my new things I’m trying out is scaling free content. I already told you about my new Audacity course that I’m going to be uploading to YouTube in the coming weeks, I’ll do the same with other free software soon. My goal is to achieve two things:
1. Eliminate the common excuses I hear. In this case, people say they can’t podcast because they don’t know how to properly record or edit audio. This will help.
2. Fill my pipeline with qualified leads. Most people will buy nothing. Some people will join my membership site. But a few will become $1,000 / month+ coaching clients.
And if I’m lucky, I’ll also reach some retail store owners to send your way!

Wow! Very awesome coach.
And absolutely no worries about finding time to respond. Because I, just like
most of your other student customers realize and appreciate how busy you are.
I’m definitely glad you’re feeling better. And definitely take some time
to smell the roses and enjoy some of your success. LOL!
BTW, major congrats on initially creating and finishing your
course on “how to” successfully utilize the audacity software.
I personally can’t wait to devour that one. LOL! Because I’m sure
I’ll learn a ton.
And just so you know coach. I logged into my WP dashboard a few days ago.
And literally from out of nowhere. I see a gazillion comments like yours.
Which were not here a few days ago. Odd, right? LOL!
So going forward, any replies you get from which appear to be months or at least
a year or more old. It’s because I’m just seeing them for
the very first time. LOL!
So I’m definitely in super catch up mode! LOL!
Always great to hear from you coach! Continued success!
