Locus 4

Without Marketing,
an Awful Thing Happens —
NOTHING!

 

How Can You Stand Out From the Crowd When You're Marketing Just Like Everyone Else?

This Locus of The Mastery — "Without Marketing, an Awful Thing Happens —
NOTHING!" — explores many aspects of effective marketing and promotion, including...

  • My own "Top Twenty Tips for Powerful Copywriting" — Let's face it, 'how to write effective copy' could take an entire manual. But you probably don't have time to read it, and I know I don't have time to write it. But these "Top 20 Tips" are sure to improve the effectiveness of your copy writing, and you'll strengthen your marketing efforts... and boost your bottom line!

  • Many characteristics of the speaking profession are common to other industries. Not faxable one-sheets! Although it's no longer necessarily faxed, this handy little marketing tool is a must-have for every speaker. This locus explores how to design an effective one-sheet.

  • If there is a single marketing tool that is a favorite of the majority of speakers, it's probably the e-zine. But e-zines aren't as easy as simply e-mailing a few thoughts to your customers. Learn how to do e-zines right.

  • Most professional speakers yearn for a successful relationship with speakers bureaus. But how do you do it? This locus explores the different types of speakers bureaus, and the advantages and drawbacks of each type. You'll also discover how to cultivate a long-lasting, highly-profitable relationship with bureaus!

"Without Marketing, an Awful Thing Happens — NOTHING!" also answers vital questions like...

  • Do you understand the vital differences between a public speakers bureau, a professional speakers bureau, and a professional speaker's agent?

  • Do you know how to make your marketing materials "bureau friendly"?

  • Once you start working with bureaus, do you know the one question you must ask every client that calls you? (Failure to ask this one question could end your relationship with all bureaus... forever!)

  • Is there a difference between writing correctly and writing effectively? You bet your bottom-line dollar there is! But how do you know when "correct" is just plain wrong?

  • Of course, not everything about your marketing involves copy. For example, I'm sure you already know how to produce an e-zine. But do you know whether your images should be imbedded or remotely hosted? (Huh? Don't know the difference? You're not alone — many experienced speakers don't know the difference either... yet that one difference could stop your e-zine from ever being read!)

  • Even though they're not necessarily faxed anymore, a "faxable" one-sheet can be a professional speaker's most powerful marketing tool. Do you know how to produce a faxable one-sheet that converts prospects into paying clients?

  • Everybody hates to cold call, but sometimes "dialing for dollars" can be an incredibly profitable way to market your programs. So when you're cold calling (yuch!), what's the secret to getting past ever-vigilant gatekeepers?

All this — and much, much more — is explored in The Mastery. Order your copy today!

In summary....

Jim Barber

Most speakers hate marketing almost as much as they love speaking... or making money! And that's a shame, because your success in the speaking business is directly related to your effectiveness in marketing.

The problem with most "how to" resources on marketing is that they tell you how to market yourself like everybody else. But the most effective marketing occurs when you market yourself (or your products) in an effective and unforgettable way that no one else is doing!

This locus obviously cannot show you how to do unique "purple cow" marketing. But I can get you to think about your marketing in a different and exciting way.

So if you're happy with your current marketing efforts, then you don't need this locus. But if you want to start marketing yourself more effectively, memorably, and uniquely... this locus is for you!

In all your endeavors, may your marketing be ever so effective!
