Yea, I said it. I said OFFLINE.
There is a lot of buzz these days about ways to use the internet as leverage to build a large and steady income offline. When I started selling my latest product Mom and Pop Money to the "offline" crowd I honestly didn't see the buzz that was already building for these sort of systems. While MAPM does require use of internet marketing, there are many ways to make money offline with the help of the internet that don't necessarily require any internet marketing skills.
A great example was given away for free by David Preston on the Warrior Forum a week or so ago. The thread is now 17 pages long and has so much information on it that you can literally build a small consulting business from it. Check it out if you have any interest in this sort of thing.
The reason I brought up this thread is because David also wrote a report called Offline Goldmine that goes into how he has turned himself from a "marketing" consultant to an "internet marketing" consultant in less than a year. That's right, David has only been marketing and doing business online since May of this year (2008).
He's built up quite a name for himself. Well, David and I were speaking recently and we thought it would be cool to "trade" our products. I got a copy of Offline Goldmine and he got a copy of Mom and Pop Money (MAPM). Fair enough.
As someone who is fairly new to the whole "IM" scene I feel like I've picked up a ton of knowledge, especially in the last year or so and am pretty comfortable with my ability to market a product online. I've never done a thing in the "offline" world of marketing so reading Offline Goldmine was sort of an awakening for me.
David has a lot of ideas and strategies that really make it easy to pickup some offline clients who write nice fat checks. He also shows how the majority of this work can be outsourced. It's pretty clever, I have to admit.
If you're looking to get into some offline consulting then I really recommend Offline Goldmine. Even if you're an "old hat" guy, you will pick up some very unique strategies in this report.
