Is Your Business Complete?

By Dustin Mathews

Every information marketing business should consider implementing the following…

Published Book: Author Status- When I fired my boss at the age of 25, I didn’t have a recognized name. Concerned with my age and perceived lack of credibility, I published my first book, “How To Get Rich Working For FREE.” Instead of handing out business cards, I handed out my book.

RESULTS: Conversations changed and JVs started lining up to do business

Offline Newsletter: Affiliate MASTER Strategy – Knowing that if I could stay in front of promoters, speakers and people with BIG lists I decided to write Dirty Talk. I created an edgy name that gained the industry’s attention and positioned me as the “guy to know” in the business.

RESULTS: Notoriety & Speaking Gigs

Speaking, Platform Selling, Seminars - With invitations to speak, I put together a 90 minute pitch. For an entire year, I traveled the country. Everything from speaking at the backroom in a Denny’s to sharing the stage in front of 800+

RESULTS: Generated $250,000+ in the first year

Mass Media: Television - Although not ABC, CBS or NBC (yet), I jumped at the opportunity to be on a local TV show. While I was there I asked the guest if he needed additional guests for the show. I then leveraged the show to get gurus, traveling speakers and business associates on.

RESULTS: Increased credibility, joint ventures sky-rocketed and incredibly cool use of the “As Seen On TV” logo

Info-Products: Memberships Sites - Longing to get off the road, I took the info-product I was selling from stage, Business Credit Infusion, and put it online. After automating the sales process, this business generates 6 figures per year with one employee.

RESULTS: Less traveling, money while sleeping, freedom to start a new business

Internet Marketing: Product Launches – Intrigued by the internet and the thought of driving thousands of orders in a week, I began working with info-marketers behind the scenes of the biggest product launches.

RESULTS: Mainly, in the real estate info-product space, I ran 10 product launches responsible for 10,000+ new buyers and $10 million dollars in sales.

High End Programs: Coaching & Consulting – One piece that I lacked early on as an info-marketer was a high priced back end. So I created a $10,000 consulting day and $25K coaching program for speakers.

RESULTS: Working with world’s top speakers and students are outrageously successful after a day with us

As you can see, these are definitely winning strategies.  Come meet Dustin Mathews at the Author Speaking Empire LIVE event – October 18-21 in Irvine, California.  Click this link to register for the event:  http://Invite.AuthorSpeakingEmpire.com.

I look forward to seeing you!

Today I want to talk about how making money with your book can be easy, depending on your time and $$$ budget.  If you are willing to spend time to promote and market your book, as well as invest money to make people aware of your book, you have a chance of making some sales and generating revenue with your book. 

However, the real money is in your ancillary products.  In today’s market, your book is your calling card.  You must have a book.  It provides you with expert status and credibility, it puts you head and shoulders above the competition, garners you speaking invitations and lots of other very cool benefits, but  unfortunately, not big bundles of cash.  It’s the ancillary products that generate the tall dollars.  You are going to make alot more money from selling a workbook, coaching program or live event than you will selling a book or even a truckload of books.  That’s why I teach my authors to use their book as the foundation for their ancillary products.  The real beauty of this is that your ancillary products can easily and quickly be created because you have already done all the work! 

You can use the Table of Contents in your manuscript to create a coaching program, an audio book, a free “Help Session” to enroll a new client.  All you have to do is ask the questions your reader will ask at the end of each chapter — voila!  You now have content for a workbok.  It is amazing what you can create using the content from your book by just asking a few questions and taking the reader to the next level. 

Send me a note if you want to know more!

See you in the bookstores!

There are so many components to insure you get the boost you need to get the publicity and celebrity status you are looking for. Workshops to prepare your pitch, get your hook for the media and polish your presentation on Tuesday and Wednesday and then the big day! Thursday we meet with various propgram producers, radio and TV hosts to pitch them and be on their shows! How cool is that? I am so excited about the possibilities.

More tomorrow!

I have been wanting to attend this event for several years, and finally, I’m going!  I am so excited about the opportunity to meet the who’s who of the national media and the possibilities for my book and products. The National Publicity Summit is an incredible event that can open doors to expose you, your book and your business to the media. Publicity builds on publicity. One radio interview could provide the exposure you need to skyrocket your business so I’ve registered for the National Publicity Summit and making that radio interview happen. I will be attending with several of my authors from the September and October Author’s Boot Camps.  Can you imagine all the talent at that event, being able to network and the joint venture possibilities? 

The National Publicity Summit is April 28 – May 1 in New Your City. For complete information and to register for the event, click:  http://www.NationalPublicitySummit.com/?11711

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, want more information or want to make plans to meet in New York!  I would love to see you!
