The "Fun" Method to Learn Direct Response Marketing

Funny stuff... funny stuff...

Yesterday, we were out at our local brew-pub getting our burger and beer fix. When without warning my wife began to laugh. I thought she was laughing at me.

Did I have something wedged during my teeth?

Would be a fry stuck to my cheek?

Turns out neither.

So when Gurus my wife why she was chuckling, she told me she felt embarrassed saying.

Embarrassed?

I said:

"Honey, we are able to talk about anything. You are able to feel comfortable telling me what's in your thoughts. And I promise to not judge you..."

So she caved, and told me she was excited American Idol was starting a brand new season.

American Idol?

I had no clue this Television show was ramping back up.

So...

We finished our burgers and beer. We paid our waiter. And my wife drug me home to catch the very first episode. Good thing too... as this show is bursting just like a water balloon with a lot of direct response marketing tips.

Like:

The power of celebrity marketing:

Just consider the judges on American Idol. Let's wait and watch. You have Steven Tyler who has been the front man for just one of the most successful hard rock bands ever. Then, you got Jennifer Lopez who needs no explanation. And finally, you got Randy Jackson that has worked within the music biz because the dawn from the dinosaurs.

My point?

That Idol certainly uses lots of celebrities to promote the show.

The strength of contest marketing:

Contests are among the fastest (and many fun) ways to grow a small company. Just take a look at Idol. Sure, the ultimate goal is to win and become a famous recording artist. But what really gets contestants going is the whole concept that they are competing against everyone else.

And nobody likes to lose.

So how do you need a contest to promote your online business?

And the power of referral marketing:

Truth be told, one thing I did to build my small company so it dominated a really competitive niche is... I used multiple strategies that drove referrals through my doors all month long

The american idol show does this too.

Just look at the number of people browsing line brought someone together... who wants to try out too. In some instances, they can brought members of the family.

Talk about the strength of referral marketing.

There's a lot more marketing tips cleverly stuffed into each American Idol episode, you just have to understand what to consider.

And one very last thing:

If you are serious about growing your company, then more than likely all you need is some more good ideas such as the one out of this article.

So ask yourself this:

Where can you turn for additional plans like that which you just read in the following paragraphs?

In my humble opinion, you need to be careful in which you search for plans because almost everyone and their brother claims to be a so-called 'business expert'.

Remember:

Saying is a thing.

Doing is another.

And many of those "talking heads" have never run their own successful small business.
