Listen…
Hear that?
That’s the sound of a thousand marketing proles flocking to buy from someone else’s business. But, if you want them – or your market’s equivalent to them – to change their trajectory and go to your business, instead, below is a proven game plan for getting all the marketing prole lovin’ your greedy self could ever want, following you on Flakebook, joining your email list, and kissing your righteous booty:
* Constantly behave like you’re a badass by going heavy on the internet tough guy/girl attitude
* Brag about being better than what your track record says you are
* Give little or no credit to those who helped you (books you read, courses you took, people who you learned from, etc) so people think you figured it all out on your own
* Swear all the time to look “edgy” and “cool” – bonus points if you put “AF” after bragging about something
* Keep your prices really low while talking about how high quality your product/service is
Do this and the marketing proles looking for a place to plug their umbilical cords into will love you. They will also give you lots of “likes” on Facebook, too. And, if you sell products and services that have nothing to do with selling to other marketers, fret not. Every market has its equivalent. And the above will work for any market to get the bottom-of-the-barrel customers.
In fact, they’ll follow you in droves.
They’ll say how genius and wonderful you are every time you post or mail.
And, you will build a solid following of them.
Yes, they’ll be mostly price shoppers, T-rexers/kangaroos (as I’ve heard ‘em called — i.e. their arms are too short to get to their wallets), serial refunders, and butt smoochers looking for free advice.
But, they are a market a lot of people make a living selling to.
And the high class customers/clients?
The ones who look for quality?
Who are the good kind of price shopper (i.e. they buy because your prices are high, with no time and patience for cheap)?
And who are serious about solving the problem your product helps with?
They’ll ignore, scoff, and maybe even mock you.
And, probably never buy from you.
Yes, even while they come to Yours Grouchy and my fellow “Email Players” subscribers instead….
It’s your business, you can run it however you want.
