Thanks for sharing, Glenn

Just curious though: how did you put your ad in 100 newspapers for FREE? Which newspapers?

Please can you share?

Thanks!

Bob Marley And Me Have a LOT In Common.

I - He had Dreadlocks. (Well, No. A Lot of mine fell out.)

II - Bob Smoked a Lot of Marijuana. (Darn. Not me. I Need All my Brain Cells)

III - Bob Is From Jamaica. (Oooops. Not that either. I have not even Visited)

So What do We Have IN COMMON?

The
Magic
of
Three!

You Know what happens after You’re Gone?

People Say Nice Things about you.

NOT SO Much.

So I Just Spotted this Headline.

***
“Bob Marley Had 3 Kids By 3 Different Women in 30 Days”
***

Well.

I have a Confession.

***
I Ran The Same Ad in 3 Different Places in 30 days.
***

#1 - I Put it into several 100 Newspapers for FREE.

AFTER The Phone Started Ringing.

#2 - Then We Ran The Classified in a Newspaper.

The Phone Rang.

#3 - Then We Put a Photo and The Ad in a Car/Yacht/Trader Magazine.

And the phone rang off the hook for 2 Days until We UNPLUGGED it.

(We Sold 3 Yachts. Two others for Friends.)

The Ad?

“Husband Falls in Love,
Buys 2nd Yacht,
Wife Steamed! Must Sell.
Phone Judy - 1-Phone #

You say, “But I Don’t have a Yacht.”

Do You Have a Car or Truck or a House You Wanna Sell?

Husband Falls in Love,
Buys 2nd Truck,
Wife Steamed! Must Sell Hers.
Make And Model - Judy Ph #

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

Husband Falls in Love.
He Has a House/She Has a House,
Keeping Hers - MUST Sell His.
Call Jimmy Ph #

(EDITORS NOTE - I combined 2 Mega Ads. I wrote the 1st. The 2nd Got 300,000 people to Show up at a yard sale.

Thanks,
Glenn

Thanks Mr UnPink,

WARNING.

I get SCREAMED at by Non Entrepreneurs.

Like I will say to The Marketing Dept, "You know that 500K You Are Flushing
Down The Toilet By Hiring An Ad Agency that doesn't Track Results? Let's use it to do Direct Response Testing.

The Department Head for The division Goes BALLISTIC...

Yells.

Screams.

Goes BONKERS.

We Take a Break.

One of his Team pulls me aside - GRINNING LIKE a Lunatic.

"You didn't know his Son In Law works at the Ad Agency Did You? Without
our business the kid would Get Fired. Dear old Dad would Have to Support sonny boy."

ME - "OH."

ME - "Well doesn't that just Prove my Point?

TEAM Guy - "Nope. That's Not how we do things here."

ME - "Well, it's a Darn good Thing You Paid me my Fee IN ADVANCE. Cuz Its Clear You Clowns won't do Anything I suggest."

THIS
Yelling
TANTRUM -
Screaming Thing
HAPPENS to me
a LOT.

UNLESS I Do a Test to Find HARD CORE ENTREPRENEURS.

So.

Please.

NON-ENTREPRENEURS - COVER YOUR EYES.
==========

How I Discovered How To Advertise FREE in
Any Major city or Town Newspaper.

I met a 50 yr old Guy (At a 25K Event) who paid a 70 yr old INTERNATIONAL
Real Estate Guru - 50GRAND.

Jim Got an AD - That Always Gets 100's of Phone Calls.

And Coaching

PLUS
Jim Got a Way to Test The Ad - For FREE.
So He Doesn't Waste Time Running Ads in The Wrong Paper.

But JIM Was TOO SCARED to Ask The Guru
Embarrassing Questions Like...

"How Do I Get The Receptionist for The Vet Clinic NICHE
to Give me their Fax and Email Addresses?

SHEESH.

So Jim Asks ME.

Step I - Jim Has some Veterinary Clinic Leads. So I Actually PHONE up
and show him What to say to Get Their Contact info.

Step II - Jim TELLS Me What The Classified Ad Says.
And The FREE Newspaper Strategy he paid 50GRAND for.

But is Too Chicken to Do.

Sounds Like FUN - So I Meet him at the Courthouse.

And Do it FOR Him.

ME - Hey Jim. You Be The Lookout, OK? If You see a Cop Car. Give me a YELL
And I will go over and Talk to Them."

Jim - "Ok. Fine. You Sure this is Legal?

ME - It's a Gray area. But Nobody Cares. And actually we Are HELPING the Newspaper. Cuz After
We Test Drop Your Ad in The COMICS Section of 100 Papers.

"You will Pay to Run The Ad, Right?

"You don't wanna Come out here and do this By Yourself.

Jim - "You got That Right."

So.

I Drop a Bunch of Quarters in a Newspaper Box CHAINED to a Stop Sign.

I - Pull all The Sunday Papers out. (I've Got 2 foot PILES of papers all over the sidewalk.)

II - I Pull my Pile of ads over. Start Putting them in a New pile.

III - The NEW Newspaper Pile has his 1/2 Page Classified Ad STUCK into The
Comix Section of Each Paper. Then I Put The NEW Pile Back in The Box.

JIM YELLS. "It's The Cops."

ME - I Walk over to The Curb. "Hello Officer. I'm doing an Unofficial COUNT
of the Newspapers in Each Box. So My Boss Knows They all got Delivered ok."

COP - "We Were Wondering How You were going to READ all Those Papers.
And
He
drives
away.

JIM is Sweating Bullets. "Let's Get out of here!"

ME - "No Way. The Rest of this will be a CakeWalk.

(EDITORS NOTE - Dunno if you know this. But all The Major paperBoxes are
Chained to Metal Posts and Signs ALL TOGETHER. In Hi Traffic areas. So It's EZ
for us to Drop Ads in Every Different paper box.)

HAPPY ENDING.

Jim calls to say his phone is ringing off the hook.

And he wants me to Show him How to Place The Ad. Cuz there is no Way
to get it into the Funny paper section.

SIGH.

So I walk him thru that too.

LAST POINT.

Don't You Agree that there is NO WAY IN HADES that SHY - JIM is
going to Pay for Ads in Newspapers - unless he Has PROOF - Real Phone Calls
from Prospects - that the Classified Ad WORKS?

So We Are doing The Papers a FAVOR by Testing for Free.

Thanks,
Glenn

Glenn,

I want to thank you for this nifty newspaper insert idea! Sure it's gutsy, but I've never known you to be afraid to try something different.

In my area we don't have newspaper boxes. All the local papers are sold from a rack that holds the papers and customers just pick up the papers and pay the cashier when they check out.... or they pay the cashier and THEN pick up a paper.

I was thinking.... what if you paid for a bunch of papers.... then stuffed your insert (right there at the store maybe) and then just placed them back. I would imagine if the store got to sell the papers again, they would not mind... however, the manager could just as easily pull the inserts out.

My thinking has always been to do things in plain sight if possible.

What is interesting in this, is the possibility that you could find a business paper or even a local magazine that this could work.

I realize there are companies that charge for inserts, but this idea rocks.

[Millard Grubb]

I got to thinking after I posted about the inserts and realized that the one-page giveaway I had talked about in other posts could work here given that it is placed in the correct newspaper or magazine.

A number of times I have seen business cards placed in magazines (with no call to action or benefit) but a half-page flyer or card stock message just might work with this idea.

Thanks Dien,

I Thought this Funny.

AND

Highly Profitable.

Since I Helped a Car Detailer Advertise in The VOICE of his Dog, Fluff.

The Terrier Size Dog - Dressed up in a Pair of Over-Alls - SUPERVISES
from The hood (A Pet Bed) Of Al's Truck While HE DOES The Detailing.

His Business has ZOOMED HIGHER.

Cuz Pet Owners HIRE his DOG Instead of A competitor.

DOWN-SIDE - his Dog Fluff - is Getting FAT. Customers pamper and Feed FIDO while Al Works on Their Vehicles.

So.

Taylor Swifts Favorite TV Show is "Law And Order."

Her FAVE Character - is Detective Olivia Benson.

Now it Turns out IN THE Event of Taylors DEMISE - Her Cat - "Olivia Benson"
Has 95 Million Bucks Ready to Take Care Of the Critter.

Maybe I will Be Re-incarnated as a RICH FAT CAT.

Thanks,
Glenn
