Wanna observe up close and personal, a really strange, and unfortunately, not too uncommon situation, with regards to how some cash strapped, small business owners, service providers, and or hard driving entrepreneurs in general, and (for this specific example in particular), yours truly definitely included!
All too often, for any number of reasons, we/they, just seem to develop a sort of marketing opportunity missed tunnel vision! Because for whatever reasons, you and or they/we, simply can’t seem to see “what’s” often totally obvious, to practically every one else!
Case in point: recently while on a coaching call, with my WordPress guru of gurus! That being the one and only, “Jupiter Jim” Landers of jupiterjim.club fame!( And no, just in case you’re wondering, that is not an affiliate link!)
Any hoo:I happen to mention, for whatever reasons,(to date) my most watched video on my youtube channel, (currently has) as of this post anyway, a fairly impressive 14,635 views.(Not too shabby, right? See the video below for current stats!)
And Jupiter Jim casually asked, So Mr.Marketing, “what” pray tell, specific market tested strategies, was I currently using, (to both) leverage and ultimately monetize all that consistent free traffic!Huh?
How Come So Many Extremely Dedicated Entrepreneurs Often Miss Tons Of Marketing Opportunities To Leverage The Internet?
And that simple question, has started the following, soon to be implemented, series of marketing events!
And further substantiates the overall premise of this entire post; (which is), far too many extremely dedicated entrepreneurs, (myself definitely included), so often miss a ton of extremely viable marketing opportunities, to strategically leverage their businesses, and or services, using the power of the Internet!
Case in point; Jupiter Jim readily pointed out, (if) nothing else, a little strategic A/B split testing was definitely in order, to best determine, (if), I might be better off, (translated) would ultimately make more passive income, simply by putting some sort CPA (Cost Per Action) type of an offer in front of my semi targeted traffic.
And getting paid anywhere from .50 cents, to potentially as high as two dollars,(or more) per visitor that filled out some semi detailed online application form of some kind.
In which case, the particular vendor, in essence would be paying so much per lead.Or he countered, after a little strategic A/B split testing, I may in fact discover.
I’m actually a whole lot better off (financially), simply by going the conventional affiliate marketing route, and build an opt in email list, and offer some type of extremely popular and practical, related ebook, course and or service, to a list of highly targeted individuals!
(Important note: And in order to find and properly evaluate some of the webs best CPA offers, it’s best to head over to offervault.com and take your time evaluating the various offers!)
And after whacking myself on the side of the head, for not seeing “what” was clearly obvious to “Jupiter Jim” Landers! I immediately got extremely excited!
And that’s when Jupiter took the potential untapped marketing opportunity, to an even higher level of marketing possibility and eventual profitability! Thanks coach!
Strategically Marketing On The Internet Literally Opens The Door To Tons Of Previously Untapped Entrepreneurial Ideas And Or Possibilities!(Don’t You Agree?)
Before sharing the other (semi) long term, potential marketing strategy Jupiter Jim freely shared with me. Ladies & gentlemen, please seriously consider the often neglected, and or totally ignored altogether, potential marketing opportunities, with regards to strategically leveraging the Internet!(And all of the other players on it!)
First.) Ladies & gentlemen, any and every time, you can get anybody, but especially a visitor, a trusted subscriber, joint venture partner, or partners,customer and or patient etc; to consistently share your videos, podcasts and or blog posts etc; with their inner circle, and or social media followers etc.
Entrepreneur, you are totally maximizing some form of (potentially) money making marketing leverage!Are you not?
Second.) Ladies & gentlemen, the more creative, non traditional, ninja marketing strategies you and I can consistently implement, in order to leverage another successful vendors, on or offline audience, technology, trusted contacts and other extremely valuable resources etc!
You could be potentially tapping into, literally tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or quite possibly, millions of dollars of extremely valuable resources, both tangible and intangible, that have taken the various vendors, years and years to properly cultivate and or develop etc!
Think about it for just a second! And you get to by pass all of that drudgery, and simply cut to the chase! See the screen shot below for even more social proof.)
Savvy Entrepreneurs Often Create Big Opportunities Out Of Seemingly Little Events!
Ladies & gentlemen, as much as it pains (me greatly) to have to admit the following publicly! The fact and truth of the matter is, I currently have absolutely no clue, “whatsoever”, why or “how” I am, (or was) able to get one of my 477 videos ranked on Youtubes first page, for such a generic,common place term as, “how to get a bank loan.”
Because if or when I do figure the video ranking process out, believe me when I tell you, I’ve definitely got (both) a skill set, and marketable knowledge, a ton of local, aspiring small business owners, and or service providers, will gladly pay a pretty penny, to see more of their lead generating videos, ranking higher and longer on youtubes pages. 😀
And that was the other potential, long term marketing strategy, Jupiter Jim suggested I seriously start looking into.Basically, he suggested I start learning the in’s and outs of strategic video marketing strategies.
For two main reasons, (first,) and foremost, I could learn “how to” consistently rank my own lead generating videos!
And thereby continually grow my opt in email list, and ultimately sell more and more of my current and future products and or services etc.
(Secondly) after learning “how to” consistently do this for myself, I could then offer my newly acquired skills, to both the local and online market!
Or barter these skills, under the right situations (of course), for various products and or services, I may want or need at any given time, down the road.So here’s my thinking going forward!
Thank Goodness Really Good Entrepreneurial Ideas Are Never In Short Supply!
Learning, the proven basics of, consistently ranking videos on Youtubes first or second page, opens the information products and services door, even wider! Don’t you agree?
There’s the opportunity to create free and paid webinars, ebooks, special reports, courses, 5 to 7 day video boot camps, paid membership sites, and one one coaching/consulting platforms etc!
One thing is definitely for sure,(going forward), there is absolutely no way, my 14,635 video views and constantly growing, will not be directed to some type of paid products and or services, in a much more deliberate manner!
(And remember, these are just initial marketing tests, the final monetization strategy may in fact be completely different!)
Otherwise, (sadly)it will continually be the case, that far too many aspiring entrepreneurs in general, and online marketers in particular, will miss more than their fair share of opportunities to strategically leverage the Internet.And that would truly be unfortunate! Don’t you agree?

Thanks the awesome compliment Sherman!LOL!
I truly appreciate it! But man, I gotta tell you, I clearly have no clue, how or why, that
one particular video of mine, has and continues to do so well!LOL!
Otherwise, I most definitely would create an additional income stream, consulting local small
business owners, and or service providers, on how to rank their videos, faster!LOL!
But I’ll take the results just the same, even as I continually try to figure things out!LOL!
As always, thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your extremely valuable and
positive feedback! It’s always welcomed and greatly appreciated!

Hi Mark,
First I would like to mention that I haven’t been in touch with Jupiter Jim in too long of a time. I knew him way back and we were blogging buddies. But you know how things go…he went one way, I the other. But when I see him in the social circles, I get all happy that he is doing great. Indeed Mark, heed his advice because he has been around a very long time.
As for you my dear friend, your videos are amazing. You have been so consistent with them, it is no wonder you have gotten so many views. Keep on going…it is a strong asset in your business.

Mark,
Thanks for the Shout Out to me in this post. The bottom line is that no man is an island and no online entrepreneur can know everthing. As you know, you’ve shared some GREAT ideas with me as well. And that’s why I love talking to you when we can.
The great message that you are conveying to those visitors who can read between the lines is that you had an idea and you took immediate action!!! Too many of us sit on ideas and never do anything about them, for whatever reason.
Because of your personality and focus, I do think that Video Marketing strategies is a great way for you and your company to grow.
Keep in touch as always and keep us up to date on the progress!!!
It’s always a pleasure to talk to other motivated, dedicated entrepreneurs!!!
