Thanks.

Hot video...little girl singing, "what's inside your butthole"...hundreds of thousands of views.

IF I were selling dollhouse toys, I would be 80% (probably) on social media.

Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and Etsy, and others...build a LOOP around short little videos, which can be hosted so many places...

but, showing cute kids with a kitty nearby, playing with the dollhouse, or opening up a new TOY, one that you sell...and maybe having a lot of those, would be one way to go

I would also create an appeal to the parents, and sell a continuity program, toy of the month thing.

All loops tie back to a central web site, where they can BUY. But I'd need more info before I could offer any real advice, this just general, what I would consider doing. Fair enough?

Gordon

Awesome. I had been advertising in photos.

Maybe it's time to test as a video.

Thanks, again Gordon.

Thumbs up Re: How a 15 dollar investment becomes a $1,000.00 a month recurring income...

"as long as I'm a class ahead of my students, they won't mind. "

This makes sense and I alreay had read somewhere, that "you just need to know more that some people to write a profitable how to book".

This made me the ideia to interview experts and write a how to book. I will read again 7 Steps II book on info products.

Do you did that Gordon? Ask experts questions and then make a book ? I think Frank Kern made that with a parrot book. He hired some expert.

Thanks

Two reports used interviews, the first was that SCI Newsletter I mentioned, it was called 20 YEARS OF BIZ-OPS, THE WINNERS, THE LOSERS, THE FLUKES

When I called, I told them, "My boss, Ben Suarez, asked me interview successful mail order people and your name came up, can I talk to you about this project?" That opened a lot of doors, allowed me lay the groundwork for the questions and get the information, which about only 10% was used, we had a bigger project on the board for these experts...but never got around to it.

The second, mostly first hand experience from working with some folk, but my NECTAR REPORT had my "keepers and take aways" from them, along with any answers they did IF I did a follow up interview. Only Melvin Powers was in both of these treasures.

But it is tested and proven strategy to create a very fast product which people will buy.

I used the same idea to create a product for magicians called, "Conversations with Magicians." It is STILL being sold on a top magician supply company.

Hmmm... "Conversations with Gardeners" or "Conversations with Auto Mechanics" or "Conversations with Cooks" could be interesting projects.

You got something Millard. The neat thing, take your Phone, use ZOOM, and if you give the EXPERT some advance of what you will ask...

BAM/VOILA, ALMOST instant product. It is what Mike Senoff has been doing for the last two decades, I've read many of his interviews. Fortunately for me, he does a PDF along, cause I can't do audio, and very little video, unless I can fast forward it.

Mike specializes in business interviews, but there are tons of other people with their share of STORED VALUE, just ready and willing to get it into CIRCULATION, and with your help, they can and you both win, eh?

Sounds like a good idea... I'll talk to a few folks and film a few things this week! (I did something similar with a friend several years ago.... Maybe I still have the video!)

I think it is unrealistic, with such a small investment to reach a million dollars.

I agree. But then, where did YOU come up with that. I claim, and stand by it, that a 15 dollar investment, can create a $1,000.00 a month recurring income, most likely via some sort of a short term, or long term subscription/membership site.

I also think it is unrealistic to spend two dollars on a lottery ticket and win a million dollars...but the facts are, it happens quite often. I also think it unrealistic to develop a game app and make tons of money doing that, unrealistic but seems like it is being done, according to your sig file.

You are welcome to participate, but get your facts straight before you do, fair enough?

Gordon
