Wow Y'all Sounded Off! Plus, What I Bought for Personal Use Today
Published: Sun, 02/28/16
Sundays are usually relaxing. Well ... not when you go by Kentucky Fried Chicken and get a bucket of grilled chicken and green beans to last you a few days - because you're trying to be all low carb, Lynn Terry body fab - and you forget the bucket is sitting up on your desk while you make a quick trip to the other room and come back and find your husky has eaten ALL the chicken in it and is now in the trash trying to get what you threw away - so you're running all over the house on a bum knee trying to get the bones out of his mouth as he growls at you.
That was my Sunday. LOL And now my son is going to probably have to take him to the vet if he gets sick. :( He's SO big he can get things up on cabinets! Nothing like having a helpless chihuahua around.
Well other than that Benny Hill moment of me chasing the dog, I've been working. First, I went through and approved and responded to the emails and blog comments on the post I made yesterday and WOW you guys really had a lot to say about your disdain for this practice:

Some of you really went off in email comments, too - and the question now is, how do we let marketers know they stink at this - other than sharing the blog post and saying, "Hey if you do webinars, you're probably doing it wrong." Ha ha!
What this ought to make you do is fill that void, not avoid webinars completely. You want to step up and be the value these guys are lacking. And throw out all those horrible habits mentioned in the comments that make people never want to attend another webinar at all.
I also bought myself something today. I love Amanda Craven's teachings - the value and way that she teaches - so I picked up her Amazon High Ticket 2 product here:

Aside from her tips on usage of it, I always like to see what other marketers uncover in their research of niches, and she provides 80 high ticket items to promote.
What's a cool thing to do with this? Well, aside from promoting those items, make a spreadsheet where you map out accessories that go with each item. You can increase your payout percentage by creating blog posts for those smaller ticket items that big ticket buyers need.
For example, I own an electrotherapy machine (not a high ticket item but about $60) - but monthly, I buy new pads for the unit. I also buy electrode gel for it. So that $20 a month in pads - multiply that by all the other users and you start accumulating that volume you need to get bumped up in commissions.
So for a treadmill, which IS a high ticket item, you could promote treadmill belt lubricant and treadmill floor mats. You could also promote cool gadgets like this for treadmill users: http://amzn.to/1T3ERm1 - so let the high ticket info lead you to a broader Amazon promo series.
Okay I'm off to watch the dog for signs of sickness. Lesson learned. Hate it when our babies are sick so I hope he lucks out on this one.
Tiff :)
P.S. Prefer a weekly digest?
