    Hey guys. Hope you are all well. I have had a few pms and mails asking me about my coaching club, so just to reiterate, it is closed until June 2011 and, in case the more cynical amongst you (you know who you are:)) are thinking, yeah this is when she comes back in a while and says, I have JUST had a spot just opened up etc etc blah blah guru guru etc, that’s not going to happen. People don’t drop out, why on earth would they? We are like the mafia lol, once in, never out. Anyway all of this caffeine induced ranting is detracting from the actual point of this post, just that I know people are very cynical and with good reason these days so I wanted to preface. Anyway.

    So, that said I do intend to share the odd nugget and idea on the forum that I either give my guys or they impart back to me such as the below. Each week we have a sharing of ideas and people report live on things they have done or set up based on tools/methods I have given them. One of my guys hit me with a doozy this week and I asked could I share on the forums. He has made a nice profit, approx $1000 this week doing the following, now just to note and as a side disclaimer, he put the preparatory wheels in motion for two weeks prior to it and it culminated in $1000 this week. He plans to do this from now on and I might even have a look myself too actually, I just love the buzz of trying new stuff, ok so:

    1. He asked his local Chinese takeaway could he tape some flyers to their outgoing deliveries.

    2. These were simple leaflet type one page flyers with an ad and a redirect to his related CPA offer.

    3. The payout of this particular offer was $25 for which he gave the outlet owner $5 per sale.

    4. His overheads were pretty much non existent as he printed the flyers out himself at home on a colour printer and paid the owner after he was paid himself.

    5. He plans to roll this out. Simple as that really.

    The beauty of it though, for me, is the ease at which this can be translated into another offer/sub-niche/”food group” if you will. Plus he took action obviously.

    Food for thought lol. Sorry:)

    Nice. I like that guy´s way of thinking outside the box. Really nice combined on-and-offline marketing.

    Good idea - he could also post the flyers through letter boxes and save $5.

    Yes, I've heard of someone doing similar with a local pizza house. He is paying the pizza place 15% and apparently making several hundred dollars per week. Seems a good idea that could be expanded on with a little effort.
