![]() Great idea Steve. This is something I have been thinking
about doing. Using just flyers in stores. I like the idea so much I have a big file of people who have had success with placing flyers in stores etc. There was a WSO on the warrior forum a guy claimed he got permisssion to place flyers on counters at computer stores for a clickbank repair your computer book. He says he made hundreds a week from some of the stores and he would sometimes pay the owner to place the flyers. It added up to thousands from various stores The problem with WSOs like that is you have no idea if they really did this or made up the results. Another guy claimed he paid a manager $20 to place flyers for a popular clickbank TV reciepe book on the tables at a fast food place and got $300 in one day. Again, I have no idea how credible it is but I have plenty of links to stories like that. There are many ways you can do this. Ask to place the flyer for free. Pay the owner a small fee. Third offer to split profits with the owner. This then becomes self sustaining as the owner copies the flyers and places them for you and gets a share each week. I did try this once and the manager denied permission to place flyers, Should have offered him some bucks maybe. |

![]() Today we're digital, but some guys still have paper and ink.
Here is one guy: http://www.bigreddaily.com/ He sends out bundles of lottery sheets to stores on consignment, they pay on what was sold, and renew. He has them priced at .70 and .75, on his site for pdf, although in the stores they were 1 dollar, 2, 3 and 5. Mine were eventually given to the merchant, who kept all the money, and I had offers inside. A small footprint helps when asking for counter space, and when the merchant gets a piece of the pie, even better. Lots of great ideas, keep em coming. Gordon Quote:

I remember seeing those in stores! Are they still out there? that is smart thinking and I remember reading about your hot sheets from the chatteling course. I have plans to do this flyer plan all worked out including the best kind of store to target and how to prevent the owner from stealing your idea and how to do it by remote control around the country. I just have other things to work on first. Trevor |

Hi Trevor, You can get rich with one good sales letter or flyer but you must have the right offer and get it in front of the right audience. From 96 to 2003 I made out pretty good putting out Address America Flyers. But walking door to door posting flyers is hard work and you still had to assemble and install the Nightvision Address signs and then collect your money. Hot sheets the way Gordon does them works but in my opinion, most WSO sellers make their money creating and selling WSOs, not by doing what they put into the WSO they are selling. Want to waste a lot of time? Here you go: http://wsodownloads.info/all/ I don’t know why no one has been able to shut that site down or the others like it so it’s proof positive that any good ideas you put in print can and will be stolen. Expect it, anything that works will bring competition. Here’s a video of a lawyer turned Network Marketer who says he passed out flyers 4 days a week and after 85 days his income surpassed 90% of most Americans. https://youtu.be/8G9i6gtu6KE He mentions it at the 11:00 minute mark. What was on the flyer? It read: “If you want to find out how to be financially free go to this website_______. If you like what you see email me back. I’m also having a private business reception tomorrow at 7pm that you are welcomed to attend”. I know from personal experience that it’s not that easy to do. First you have to swallow your pride and humble yourself and be prepared to have people laugh at you and expect maybe one inquiry per 1000 flyers you hand out. A much more effective way of using flyers is to conduct a 60 second survey and hand the flyer to the prospect at the end of your survey. This way you have their contact details to follow up with the prospect and their answers to the survey questions will tell you what their hot buttons are. It’s a very fast and inexpensive way to prospect. Just a clipboard, paper and pen or use a iPad and this app from the iTunes Store “MLM Survey Lead Generator” For android devices look for it in GooglePlay or just PM me for my clipboard survey sheet. I like using a clip board better than an iPad because it’s hard to read a digital screen outdoors in sunlight and a clipboard conveys authority. Getting store owners to hand out your flyers is somewhat more difficult because you have to make it worth-while for them. I don't buy giving a computer store $100 to tell their customers to purchase the DYI computer repair clickbank book is enough of an incentive to get them to do that. That's like them saying... you don't need to hire me to solve your problem. Buy a DYI book from clckbank so you won't need me. Typical WSO advice. But here's something that can work.... Give your local independent grocery store or drug store free paper bags. One side of the bag advertises the store. On the other side you have space for several ads from other non competing local businesses. Sell the ad spaces and reserve one space for your offer.
