How To Swing With Guerrilla Marketing

Click here for ten effective guerrilla marketing tactics.
Jay Conrad Levinson




I run a small business for smoking cessation and weight loss. I advertise on the radio a lot. It's expensive, and the response is so-so. Any thoughts?

"Old media"--radio, TV and metropolitan newspapers--generally aren't good bets for small businesses. You're paying big bucks to reach thousands of people out of your area and thousands more who have no interest in your product or service. The Cowflop Gazette, your local community paper, may be a better bet--but why pin your hopes on a delivery boy who throws the paper behind the rose bushes or into the lawn sprinkler?

Instead, try guerrilla marketing--the artful use of imagination mixed with hard work--to reach a highly targeted audience. Executed well, such shrewd tactics can achieve big results, says Jay Conrad Levinson, author of Guerrilla Marketing: Secrets For Making Big Profits From Your Small Business, and a 12-year veteran of major ad agencies, including J. Walter Thompson and Leo Burnett.

Guerrilla marketing is all about efficiency, but that doesn't always mean spending less. Companies tend to allocate about 4% of sales on marketing, although some crafty guerrilla marketers may go as high as 8%, Levinson estimates.

The real investment here is the time and sweat spent understanding the needs of your customers and coming up with creative ways of communicating your value proposition. "Broadening your search isn't as important as aiming your message at the right people," says Levinson.

Offering free information is a relatively inexpensive way to build relationships with your customers--and to keep them coming back. That way, you become a resource for your customers, not just a vendor.

For example: If you run a bike shop, offer tips on weekend rides and provide maps. If the tours start at your shop, offer a good price on all the little last-minute items that people forget. (There's no need to make a killing on bottled water when what you're really selling is good will.) You might also consider offering seminars on emergency road repairs--the perfect segue for selling the tools needed for a quick fix in the boondocks.

It's no news that you should have a Web site. The tricky part is building the right one. Keep it simple: Prospective customers aren't interested in your humble beginnings and roaring success--they want to know what you can do for them. A simple tab labeled "About Us" that takes users to three or four paragraphs about you and your company is plenty, says Levinson.

You'll also want to compile as much information on your customers as possible. Include a question box on your Web site that allows users to shoot you questions or comments. This is a painless way to collect e-mail addresses of customers who really seem interested. (Remember: Don't get so wrapped up in being a guru that you forget to include your contact information at the bottom of each reply; always make it easy for people to find you and do business.)

Guerrilla marketing isn't just about the medium--it's about the message. It's not enough to offer people a way to lose weight or stop smoking when your competitors are offering similar services.
Instead, tap into your customers' timeless fixations with vanity and fulfillment. Show them that--by quitting smoking or eating right--they'll find love, earn the cheers of their spouses and kids, have more energy, or simply live happier lives. As for tone, says Levinson, go for cheeky, but never offensive.

Mango Steals Ralph Kennedy's Identity: Spotlight on Parasitic Marketing

Ralph Kennedy was doing some affiliate work on Google groups when this guy from India stole his Identity to try to capture some of the "branding" that ralph and I had established in the sea of spam. Ironically it seems to be the same guy, Sippy, that I have been talking with. It looks like we offended this guy...

The internet is a cess pool...

Wow,

Here is a real Black Hatter.

Calling outside INDIA: +919855627901

Calling from india: 09855627901

I live in north INDIA, so its advised to please check on time, before you give a call.


This joker just showed me a viral scam that blew my mind. He liked my writing style so much, recognized that is was interesting and was going to attract attention...so he outright stole my name.

Spamming, Identity theft, and he lies about being a Christian just to scam hits to his rather boring adsense webpage.

He obviously has not seen Saturday Night Live in the last few years becuause anyone with the name Mango appears in my minds eye to be wearing nothing but gold briefs...yeah...it gives me the creeps too.

Hey Mango...cool it bro. We are probably on the same page...you might want to check out a few of the promotions that I have going. They are quality business systems with ethical products to promote...and you can still leverage you google adsense skill set.

Here this one is a great place to get a $4000.00 education for less that $100.00...

Shttps://paydotcom.com/r/7350/Chris_Titan/269966/ hi

hHere is one I wrote myself for less that $10.00. If you can't afford that from your google ads then you really, really need to reconsider your business model and your strategy.

http://magickiansofsimpleology.info/gettingstarted23.html

And if you are flat broke...you can get started on a new path that is less offensive to your community...and in general the world.

http://magickiansofsimpleology.info/moneymachine.html

You are single handedly making it harder for all of us to earn a living by selling information online and you must be wasting a lot of your time because I cannot see your technique converting anyone to your services.

It is not just me my friend, you have had these problems before...take a break, read some of the information I have offered and I am sure you can leverage your energy and time for much greater wealth.

Your American Twin,

Ralph Kennedy

It's been neutralised, but we need it erased so it won't generate
search engine hits. As long as this asshole gets paid, he will
continue to spam us. Please report the spam.

I took your word for it, but I HAVE to take your word for it! If it
was left to me, I'd conclude that everyone in business is a spammer.
Evidently, not so. But I can't read through all that boring "Get rich
quick" crap fast enough to tolerate it. Somebody selling shit is just
selling shit. I hate to have to distinguish about what kind of
stinking salesman they are!

Good point. I've been fighting spammers since they were just in email.
Now they're all over the Internet - blogs, forums, and IM. I can spot
their shite in 2 sentences, and I keep thinking it's that obvious to
everybody. Maybe that explains why they keep at it - they maybe aren't
all that obvious?

It's a spammer. It dropped 5 turds in here 2 days ago - 1 / forum.
Today, it dropped 2 - trying to stay below the radar. But it's the
same shite - just 2 turds instead of 5. And it's the same message.

If we leave it's shite here, unchallenged, it'll keep it up. The only
way to get rid of it is to have it removed. That requires everybody
reporting it, so BS will take action.

Maybe Blogger Employee is off this week - long weekend. I hope not,
but nothing would surprise me there.

Magick of the Mastermind:Joe Vitale, Bill Hibbler, & Ben Mack (Two Pod Casts!)

In this Pod Cast Ben Mack explores the Mastermind Process and Wes Unruh gives a quick review of Joe Vitale and Bill Hibblers new book Meet and Grow Rich.

Mark Joyner, Joe Vitale and Bill Hibbler discuss the Mastermind process in this awsome telephone call, one of the free services to memebers of Simpleology. Joe Vitale makes it clear that this is not gooffy or spooky stuff but is actually a powerful collective mind that forms when this process is done properly.

They joke about wearing robes, goats and other magickal artifacts which was pretty funny...

It was mentioned in the Simpleology Community forum so I had to respond with some technical details... ; D

Okay, I've got the goat, the candles, a ruby-red silk robe and have warmed up my vocal chords for the chanting....now, how do we start the mastermind meeting again?

I laughed!

That was another great call with another great idea! Hats off to all of you!

Hi Nancy,

Hope that robe has a hood. If not, we'll never let you in.

Glad you enjoyed the call.

All the best,

The reception...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Guys,



From the Z-Documents...

…The reception and consecration take place symbolically in the darkest part of Malkuth. The moment this is finished, the Candidate is conducted to the foot of the Altar, that is under the citrine part of Malkuth which receives the impact of the Middle Column. Now, the Hegemon throughout the Ceremony acts as guide, prompter and answerer for the Candidate. His office toward the Candidate is analogous to that of his Higher Soul - wherefore also, the Hegemon holds in his hand the Mitre-headed scepter to attract, since it is the scepter of Wisdom, the Higher Self of the Candidate.

"Darkest part of Malkuth" is the most 'physical body' of the mastermind group as individuals. The instant that the physical body is commited to the physical actions needed to network the mastermind and the group is gathered the individuals move the the "citrine part of Malkuth"...only know once this commitment is made can the group experience the mastermind via the "middle pillar". The Hegemon is the mastermind leader who facilitates the groups communication with the collective mind.

As for the use of the hood...

This is a powerful tool for creating a group-mind...but has been rather abused by cults who prey on weak individuals who want to surrender personal responsibility to some abstract group mind.

And p.s. Ravensong...are we really going to eat goat for the mastermind dinner?

Where can I find these crazy mastermind calls????

1. The affiliate link was not connected to the url properly and any clicks on that first e-mail would not have registered.

Lesson: If you try to use the out of the can copy that you are given, or even if you cut and paste a url with your affiliate code...test it out...test...test...test...
