You can also grab a free mp3 of me explaining to Willie Crawford exactly how to implement this method here: Diamonds In Your Backyard it's free by the way!


Hey Warriors,

I was recently approached at an event I was speaking at and asked,"How can I generate some quick cash? Is there an honest way of doing that?"When I explained this method-everybody started writing, so I thoughtI would share it with my fellow warriors.

I named this: "A Stupidly Simple Cash Cow" or how to generate emergency money NOW!

Start this today and I'm sure it will carry you through the holiday crunch. This is very easy to do and can generate at least $1,000-$1,500 within the next few days!

First, you need to find some local business owners who need what you're about to offer them here. No, you won't be pounding the pavement or cold calling anyone....they will be calling YOU.

You can use a couple of methods to find these clients.

1. You can simply go to the phone book and look up businesses in your local area. Write down any business that you want. You will use that list to check the internet in a minute or two, so keep it handy. Some listings will include the business url.

2. OR you get an in depth "drill down" listing from GoLeads which will give you tons of information on all businesses in ANY geographic area. Cost is about $15 for unlimited access. :-)(No, I'm not an affiliate but it works.)

Once you have your list, about 25-30 is all you need to start. Look them up on the internet to see if they have a website. For this particular deal you want them to have a website. (If they don't have a site yet, that's a different model.) Once you have a few of the websites, visit them.

Here's what you're looking for: Any business site that does not have a capture mechanism installed on their FRONT page. In other words, they need to have an auto-responder opt in form on their front page. If they don't....you're in for some quick cash.

When you have about 25-30 "prospects" send them this letter:

************************************************** *

Mr./Ms. ___________My name is ______________ and I am a local e-commerce business consultant.

I know your time is valuable, as is mine so I'll get right to the point. If I could show you an unused asset that you ALREADY have that could make you thousands of dollars, would you be willing to speak with me for 15 minutes?

This free consultation can save you as much as 50% of your entire monthly advertising budget AND bring you brand new customers at the same time! The best part is that you already have it, so the cost to implement this marketing weapon is minimal.

Please call me at (your number) at your earliest convenience to schedule a free "no strings" consultation.

I promise you, it will beworth your time.

Yours in business,

Your name Contact info

************************************************** ***

That's it! Believe me when I say that your phone will ring off the hook. DO NOT mass mail that letter! You really only need to mail 25-30 per week and you'll be busy. Now that you have the clients calling you, the next step is to set a consultation appointment and meet them.

The unused asset they have is of course their website which has no list building capabilities.The "money is in the list" applies to ALL businesses, not just online marketers. By building a proper list they can cut their advertising dollars at least in half.

Just send a customer blast about an upcoming sale instead of paying $4,000 for a full page ad.

You follow me here?

All you have to do is set up an auto-responder opt in form on their existing site!

That's it. I have coaching students who are making $250-$500 a deal with just this method. It's very easy to generate 4, 5 or even 6 deals per week this way. Heck, it only takes about 20-30 minutes to put the form on their site and that's if you're slow!
(Outsource it to fellow warriors if you have too.)

I usually visit their site, right click and select "view source" and save it in notepad. Then I open the notepad in an html editor and install the form.

*NOTE* I can use their AR service or mine. You'll just have to work the minor details out with them. Don't turn it into a can of worms-KISS

I use Trellian pagebuilder, which is free and allows me to preview the finished site.

Once I'm done I save it as, "theirsitename.html"send it to their programmer and they can swap it. Otherwise, you have get all the login info, etc. from the owner.(I charge $50 if I have to load it.)

In either case this usually leads to a question from the owner,"who is going to write the emails" which is another monetization chapter for later....

Just so you know, almost half of all the sites I look at fall into the category of no capture system. It may be more or less where you live, but it's a rampant problem....everywhere.

Why? Because they simply don't understand e-commerce. By the way, GoLeads will also give you the name of the business owner, number of employees, etc. Do your first one the hard way if you have to, but it's worth the $15 to be able to put their name on the letter.

Response rates will triple if you use their name and this little trick: Stamp "CONFIDENTIAL" in red block letters on the front of the envelope.

This will make them put your letter in the "open later" pile instead of straight into the trash. It's a simple but effective strategy especially if you use their name.You can get a confidential stamp at Staples for $5. I've used the same one for years.

Keep this in mind. People sort their mail while standing over the trash can. You do it, so you know it's true. You have to have something that stands out and says, "This might be important, I'll look at it later."

*NOTE* Change their cash register and credit card terminal receipt to read, "For Preferred Customer Discounts Sign Up At: (theirwebsite)

There is a toll free number on the side of every register and terminal for support. Just call them and they will walk you through changing it. It only takes about 10 minutes.

This strategy is awesome because it does two major jobs when it comes to marketing.

1. It captures all their current customers because everybody reads their receipt, and everybody wants to be a preferred customer to get discounts. It also captures all walk in traffic that actually BUY something. Which leads us to:

2. A list of nothing but BUYERS of their product. No tirekickers or browsers, buyers only! You may need to clarify to them exactly why that's so powerful. Now you've made a client for life and there are tons of other methods to help them, and generate a great living for you as well.

I've just shared a tested, proven method to generate some serious emergency money FAST! Just copy and paste the direct mail letter and get to work.

You can do this. I told you it was stupidly simple, and it works because it really is helping them, and that's what it's all about.

Make it a great marketing day,

Get Private Coaching From Me!

My Wife Is Cheating With Willie Crawford!

My Wife Is Cheating With Willie Crawford!

I should have realized something was going on when my wife came home with a new Coach purse.

I asked her why in the world would she would spend $500 on a purse. Her reply was, "WillieCrawford bought it for me."

I knew something was afoot so I did some major questioning! Here's what I found out.

Susan, my wife wanted to start a business of her own online, just to show me she could.

So she went through Willie's best selling ebook of all time, 20 Ways To Make $100 A Day on the internet. She set up her site and hit Willie's help desk for guidance on marketing.

We're VERY good friends with Willie and his wife, Nancy so I wrongly assumed that she went to Willie behind my back! (Which would give him a real reason to poke fun at me the next time I see him.)

What she actually did was go through his help desk just like anyone can do. Ling Yu helped her get set up and rolling the right way. Her new site is:

http://SusanPrestonInc.com and it's rockin'!

So I guess it is true that Willie bought that new Coach bag and my new tennis shoes. :-)

Everything a "newbie" needs to get started is in that ebook, Susan is living proof that it works and works well. So if you don't have a clue about how to start making money on the net, this will get you rolling fast!

Grab a copy today and change your tomorrow. (Please buy it because it keeps her out of MY pocket.)

And uh, thanks Willie for the new shoes...they're cool. :-)

How To Joint Venture With Giants!

How To Joint Venture With Giants...

As far as marketing is concerned joint ventures are a necessary"skill" you MUST learn. Most marketers realize that fact but don't know where to turn to get the proper tools for JV's.

Joint ventures work for both online and offline business. Offline JV's can generate as much as 7 figures in residual income for life, and are easily set up if you know what to do. I have been fortunate enough to be branded as the "Offline Wizard" by many of the top marketers worldwide. In fact, over a dozen of the top internet marketers are students of mine! :-)

(For offline marketing visit http://davidprestoninc.com/)

Online JV's are completely different. One giant marketer I recently spent the weekend with summed it up this way, "It's not what you know or even who you know...it's who knows YOU!" A true profound statement that I took to heart immediately.

I started my online marketing with ONE relationship this past May. I had always worked successfully offline until my friend pushed me toward online as well. In turn, I nudged him toward offline. We have both profited enormously from each other since then.

Because of this one friend I have developed relationships with some of the biggest names in marketing including, Willie Crawford, Terry Dean, Frank Garon, Alan Bechtold, Michael Penland, Mark Hendricks, Dale Calvert, Joe Sugarman, Ross Goldberg, and way too many more to list.

In fact, one recent JV with Michael Penland generated just under 25Kin one day...all because my giant friend introduced us.

My other guru friends and I have finally convinced this industry giant to teach others exactly how to do what he is doing for all of us. There's no hype or nonsense with this guy either, in fact he's listed as "the most trusted guy on the internet."

I'm deeply honored to call him my friend and now you may have the same opportunity to call him your friend. Below is a link that is quietly being circulated among the gurus. It's not advertised because of the demand it will produce and the limited availability for slots.

http://williecrawford.com/JVTeleseminar/?e=davidrecommends

As you can see from the link, my friend is none other than Willie Crawford. If you market on the net you're going to run into him everywhere. Remember his profound statement before?

Does Willie Crawford know you?

You Can't Fight The Law...

You can't fight the law...

Copyright 2008 David Preston

I'm fortunate enough to be invited to many events as a speaker or as a guest of the promoter. So I get to attend a lot of events and network with a lot of great people. It always does my heart good to speak with other marketers and gurus who have been very successful since I last saw them.

They have been busy creating this or that and joint venturing with selected partners. I get to catch up and set up a few ventures of my own. :-)

There's also another side to events that really bothers me though. I notice a lot of the same faces at events who are not so fortunate. As they elbow their way through the crowd "just to say hello" to me I can feel the desperation in them.

As I talk to them I realize that they haven't made any progress at all since I last saw them. They tell all me about how they were barely able to afford the gas to get there, or they're so behind in their bills it was "stupid" to attend right now, and the complaints go on and on.

My heart goes out to them and I always try to give them some direction on how to finally get started on the right path. Then I realize that I had already given them the same instructions at the last event they attended! Some of them can actually tell me what I said to them before!? The reason they haven't made any progress finally hit me...

You can't fight the law!

The law I'm referring to is Sir Issac Newton's 3rd law. "For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction!"

If you really think about it, that law applies to the laws of attraction, physics, gravity and all that we perceive to be around us.

They are afraid of the REACTION. So they take NO ACTION!

They make every excuse in the world as to why they haven't started on that great idea they had since last year. The real dreamstealer for them though is Newton's 3rd law.

My guru friends understand that law and use it to their advantage. Every single one of them, including me, will take action on an idea or concept and deal with the reaction as it comes. We use the reaction to our advantage too. The reaction of our followers tells us what we need to do to the new product to make it better for those who spend their money with us.

Here are just a few examples. Willie Crawford tells you what to do on the cover of his best selling book, "Git Off The Porch...". Michael Penland named his incredible course, "Dare To Grow Rich". Alan Bechtold said "If you're not makin' mistakes, you're not doing anything!" and the list goes on and on. Do you see where I'm headed here?

We make mistakes and have frustrations too, just like you. The only difference between where you're at and where we are is that we understand the law.

You can't fight the law...

Are Offline Clients Better Than Online Marketing?

I was recently asked by Michael Penland to speak at his Orlando, FL event alongside of some of the greatest marketers of all time. It was an honor to share the stage and rub elbows with a lot of those industry giants. The theme for the entire event was "internet marketing", with the exception of me.

I was there to provide people a look at marketing to local businesses. The biggest difference between offline consulting and online marketing is the caliber of people you're dealing with.

In online marketing most marketers are going after the "average Joe" who wants to learn how to market on the internet. Kind of a strange world, but it works. Thes folks normally have regular jobs and are looking for a way to generate extra money. Most are not looking or expecting to replace their fulltime income. For the most part these people are "dabblers" and not fulltime marketers. Which normally means that they are not going to spend much money on a product until they have been shown that it can generate enough profit to justify the expense. At that point, they may buy a higher priced product delivered on the back end and you actually start to see some profit.

I'm fortunate to count some of the biggest marketers online as my friends. Most of those giants do not work one or two hours a day to generate the millions they make online. Most of them work twelve to fourteen hours a day at least five to six days a week! There are exceptions to this rule of course, but most work very hard to produce products that will actually help people.

In a recent case study Willie Crawford and I were challenged to create a product and have it live on the internet producing money in as little time as possible. Because of our schedules we had to start at midnight. By 5:54 am we had created a product and it had earned it's first sale. You can see the results of that at: http://InstantTopRanking.com It's an audio course that teaches how Willie and I grab the top spots in Google for any product, often the same day. It's still selling truckloads today at $9.97 so yes, it can be done.

Offline clients on the other hand are hard core business people. They already own their own local business and are swamped with the day to running of the business itself. They normally have a great grasp on traditional marketing but have no clue about marketing online. This is where we come in.

We can show brick and mortar business owners how to build a web presence, build a list of buyers, advertise their business effectively and cut their advertising expenses by at least 60/70 percent! Because of what we can offer them our services are in huge demand.

While you're out shopping this weekend ask the local business owner this one question: "How do you stay in contact with your current customer base?" There's a good chance they will look at you like you have two heads. That could be your opportunity to pick up a local client and profit handsomely from helping them.

Spend time trying to get a thousand people to a site to buy a $20 product....or speak to one business owner and earn $5,000. Seems like a real "no brainer" to me.

The OfflineGoldmine system teaches you exactly how to do just that. At less than a fast food dinner it can change your earning capacity almost overnight. Do the math, and decide which market is better for you.
