Default A 52 Million A Year BARTER BOOK Idea Applied

Thanks Dien,

25 Years ago Gary Halbert and Bill Myers Told me to, "Turn what you
do into Information Products and Sell them"

You may ask, "How do You Do that?"

One Way is BARTER.

Golden Rule BARTER GUARANTEES you have plenty of ODD, Funny,
WEIRD and Goofy Stories to tell and Sell.

And If you Write your Books in Groups of THREE.

Then You Can BARTER OR Give Away
Book #1 in order to S-ell book #2 and #3.

============

CO-Incidentally we Just Finished Mp3 Audio Book #3
in a series.

So now We Have 3 Books about BARTER to
Demonstrate with.

(EDITORS NOTE - My pet peeve is where "Experts" share THEORY instead
of what has ALREADY Made them munny.)

I
Learned this
BARTER BOOK #1
Strategy from
a Mentor
who
Makes 52 MILLION
Dollars a year
FROM HOME - ON-LINE
Using this
same Idea.

And -Yes I'm Here to Say- it does work.

Let Me Repeat the 52 million dollar a year
BARTER Idea in Different Words.

"GIVE AWAY Your Best IDEA, Book, Mp3, Video
And People Will Want To BUY MORE."

Here is how I am BARTERING
for More Book Sales Now.

STEP I - Whenever someone emails me. Or BUYS Something.
We send a Thank you REWARD back - To Thank them for contacting us.
Or for their order.

Thank You Reward #1 - is a Link to the S-ales letter for Book #1 -
which has a Free 45 minute mp3 file at the end.

STEP II - Then we might follow up by sending them a Link to the
Entire 33 Chapter Book - A RipSnorter!

STEP III - And we then attach the link to V#2 and V#3
in that book series to The F-r-e-e BONUS BARTER BOOK Link.

Here is Why this BARTER BOOK
Idea works so well.

IF people ENJOY Book #1 - They will Want To Listen to
Or Read Book #2 and #3.

Simple.

Thanks,
Glenn Osborn

Default How I Bartered A FUNNY SERVICE with a Persnickety Neighbor

Thanks Gordon,

When I go to get my mail the Neighbors Dog
-across the street- often comes out to Bark at me.

She loves to have her neck scratched.

And that is how I met the neighbor who makes ME LOOK BAD
because he sweeps leaves and Dirt off his Driveway with a rake
and then a BROOM and DUSTPAN.

OMG.

ME? I Wait for Rain and wind to Scour the dirt
off of my Drive.

ONE DAY Last week -
Tom was Complaining about Tree Limbs Falling in his yard.

Showed me a Locust Limb a foot thick and 10 feet long
that he - at age 70 - couldn't pick up.

I Asked His Permission. Then went and got my ax.
Cut it into 4 pieces.

ASKED his permission to Take the logs away and Burn them
to heat my house. (HA! Odd, but I am burning one of his Locust Chunks as I write this.)

AND

This is so funny.

We spent MORE TIME Carrying the wood chips
That flew everywhere From my Ax-Work - on his manicured Lawn - off to a corner. Than I did cutting up the Big Tree Branch.

Not kidding.

His lawn is like the green Felt on a Pool Table.

So.

I BARTERED The Service of Cutting And Removing
an UGLY Tree Limb that Damaged the LOOK of his Pristine
Golf-Course-Like-Lawn

for...

WAIT for it...

You'll NEVER Guess.

***Tom gave me a ONE HOUR Guided Tour of his Entire House.***

(EDITORS NOTE - Folks out here in the Country are very Stand-Offish.
So this is a Minor Miracle.)

Bedrooms, Bathrooms, His office, the wife's office.

All his carpentry work and improvements and photos. Added rooms.
Vaulted ceilings. Fake fireplace. And Tons of Photos.

***Tom used to Compete in SteepleChase Horse Races
across country - in 3 states.

***And often chased Foxes behind the hounds.

In MY OPINION it takes a Real WILD MAN
to run up to a 5 foot fence - on top of a Huge Horse
and JUMP it.

Over and over again. Across rough country-side.

I didn't KNOW this about him.

Anyway.

This has completely TRANSFORMED out Nodding
Only - Relationship. To smiles, waves and Story Swapping.

Thanks,
Glenn

Default How a BARTER Ad Grew A Catering Company 800%

Thanks Dien,

A Marketing Partner of mine told me How She
Bartered FREE FOOD Samples to Grow
a Catering Biz in Ohio - By 800% - before it was sold.

A realtor was called home when his Dad Died.

He wanted to sell his Fathers Catering Company. But it was not doing well.

The Ad Judy Wrote for him
Used FOOD BARTER as a Bribe to Meet Prospects
and Get That First Appointment.

"Save Up to 50% off Your Catering
Bill IF You Visit Our Office And
Sample Free Food for Your Event.

============
============
Here's WHY The Catering
Biz Grew 8 TIMES in 90 Days
Using Food BARTER.

Prospects who saw the ad
WANTED to know how they
could SAVE 50%.

THE REST of the ad went
on to Explain that DEPENDING
on how much you and your
family were willing to HELP
OUT with labor.

Setting up Chairs, Tables, Dishes,
TableCloths and other work...

You could Save a LOT of munny
on Your Catering Bill!

So Prospects who Would NEVER
Normally Hire a Catering Co
SHOWED UP in DROVES.

But they would not have come
without the FREE FOOD as
an Excuse for coming to the office.

This is Genius.

The Ad Created New Catering
Clients that Competitors
Did Not Want or Have a
Chance at Closing.

In Effect - A Totally New
Group of Catering Clients
was discovered.

Thanks,
Glenn

Default Reminds me of GFS Marketplace.

Thanks Glenn,

I was the demo guy at a GFS Marketplace (Tallmadge, OH) and every Fri and Sat we would barter with restaurants, by giving them samples of our food.

GFS is one of the top privately owned companies out there, and they grew big, by giving away FREE samples of their wares.

We bartered easy to prepare, highly profitable, prepared foods with these restaurant owners looking for new, easy to do, and profitable new menu items.

Thanks for the reminder.

Gordon

Default FREE LUNCH Barter Ad Builds a Consulting Biz

Thanks Gordon,

My friend Phil came up with this.

His humor is kind of sly.

You KNOW the saying - "There is no such thing as a FREE LUNCH."

So.

This Ad began to pull dozens and dozens of phone calls from
small business owners.

Phil said they'd call him up and GROWL. "HOW are you going to DO THAT?"

Here's his ad.

FREE LUNCH for Small Biz Owners.
Investor Looking to Buy Your Biz
& Pay for it out of Increased Profits.
Call Phil at #

=========
Why did this ad work so well?

Everywhere it ran?

Because Biz owners were CURIOUS.

They didn't care about the Freebie Lunch.

But the fact that PHIL was willing to PAY for Lunch
Forced them to THINK - "By golly - this SOB just might know how to DO IT.
Steal my biz and not pay a dime out of pocket."

AND so they called and
went to Lunch with Phil.

Thanks,
Glenn

Default OPRAH Just Bartered her NAME to Make a Fast 75 Million

Thanks Gordon,

Someone at WeightWatchers Convinced OPRAH to invest.

THAT is a sales person I want to meet.

Oprah's name ALONE has more than doubled WeightWatchers Stock Price.

To make Investors BELIEVE she is Serious
Oprah invested 43 million and got 10% of the company.

The article I read said if she s-old her stock today
she would Clear a 75 mil Profit.

BARTER = Value for Value.

OPRAH's Name and Reputation for helping companies
over the years is what did the trick.

==========
==========
Oprah Famously cannot control her weight.
So this is a great match.

One of the PROBLEMS I see is that WeightWatchers has a limited # of Same Tasting Food Choices.

The way they FORCE you to lose weight is by supplying
all of your food.

People Last a year or 2 and then QUIT. Because
they want to eat FOOD that Tastes good again.

HOWEVER.

IF Oprah were to hire several of her PAST
very Talented Personal Chef's to create Low Calorie
and Tasty Food items. (Or just adapt the ones they cooked for Oprah.)

AND a Recipe book.

THEN MAIL all the BackList of Over-weight folks who QUIT
WeightWatchers cuz they got tired of eating the same thing
day after day.

THAT alone would p-ay off the 1 billion in Debt the
company owes.

Just my Opinion.

But I think it IS DO-ABLE.

But IF I were an investor - knowing OPRAH's short attention span.
I'd get in and out within 2 or 3 years.

Thanks,
Glenn

Default YOU TOO Can Make 1000's from Home BARTERING w/Big Companies

Thanks Dien,

Fully 50% of the food I buy is damaged or ripped open,
Torn or spoiled.

Would YOU Make a Phone Call that Paid
You Ten Bucks?

I did - just now.

My 1/2 gallon of Mott's Apple Juice Turned to CIDER.

The Lady got VERY EXCITED.

"Oh, we've got to get your bottle to Quality control. In 15 days expect
a SASE Box to arrive. Please ship the 1/2 gallon bottle Back to us."

=========
=========
ACTION SUMMARY -

I Am Bartering INFORMATION about defective Food Products
that the company REALLY REALLY Wants.

In Return they Send me Munny Vouchers or Checks
worth 5 bucks or 10 or 15.00 - sometimes more.

Pizza wrappers torn - Pizza is stale.

Cans Dented. Labels 1/2 missing.

Pop tops not opening.

Food that melted - got smushed all in a pile inside the box
and Refrozen.

Onions that were half rotten.

On The Side of Every food item is a website.

A - You can fill out the Complaint form

OR

B - Quicker - is to call the Consumer Satisfaction 800#

Which is what I just did to get 10.00 of Free Apple Juice.

Thanks,
Glenn

Default Free Lunch BARTER from Local Insurance Company

Thanks Dien,

Funny.

Not long after I posted about how Phil got Sm Biz
Consulting Clients by offering to buy them lunch.

I get A Similar offer in the mail.

A Giant4 by 8 postcard.

HEADLINE:

"Be our Guest At a Complimentary Dinner At Ruth's Chris"

A Local SteakHouse.

Chicken
Steak
Salmon

Here's the BARTER DEAL.

Goods in Return for a Service.

OR

Free Food in Return for Your Butt in a Seat for 2 Hours

Joy.

We are to learn about:

"Strategies to feel good about retirement

"How The insurance co Previous clients are Safe from Market Declines

"Options that reduce taxes

"Insurance Products that Keep your principal safe from Market Declines"

AHA!

You spotted the REPEAT headline too.

So we know we will get hammered to B-U-Y Insurance Products.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - Here is a link to a kindle version of Napoleon Hills "LAW OF SUCCESS" Book.

100 TIMES better than
"Think & Grow Rich" - in my opinion.

One of the chapters is rather incredible.

Cuz Napoleon Hill Was Training THOUSANDS of people on how to Sell
"Securities and other investment products."

And
He
Interviewing ONE MAN
Who "Got it."

This one young man was out-selling every single person Dr Hill Trained.

How did he do it?

READ THE BOOK - Dr Hill Explains How in the Young
Salesmans own words.

If Barter is Trading a Good or Service for another
Good or service without munny, then HOW can Copywriting be BARTER?

First I'll SHARE My Opinion.

And
then
You Get to
Experience a MIND BENDING Reading Experience as PROOF.

#1 - I posit that Giving Away a Free Chapter or Two - As Amazon.com
Does - is a form of barter.

DONE WELL.

The book author BARTERS a Free Chapter of his or her book
to The READER as follows...

Author - Barters Hard work and time to Write a Cliffhanger Beginning
Reader - Receives an EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE
Or Valuable Life-Changing Information.

Two of my Copywriting Mentors
Are At #72 out of all the books
Listed at Amazon.com
with their new book...

THREE WEEKS BEFORE it Goes on Sale!

HOW
DID
THEY
DO THAT?

BARTER is Part of the "How."

This Husband and wife writing team HAVE THE POWER
to Create Fascinating people and entire worlds with words.

I DARE YOU.

Click the link Below and read the FIRST CHAPTER of their new book.

WARNING!

Reading only one Chapter Could PERSUADE you to part
with 5 bucks even BEFORE the book comes out.

Thanks,
Glenn
