Using Guru Marketing Tactics And Psychology For Good
I've gotten a lot of great emails from you all about the topics I can discuss on the site. Please keep them coming. But before we get to that, there's a bit of a wall I see many people running into. Let me break down that wall now. The other day I was having a conversation with a consultant friend of mine about using email marketing and how it applies to his business. He was worried that it wouldn't be a good fit, as he'd only seen "gurus" using it and he didn't want to be shady like them. Yeah, neither do I. In this video I talk about using marketing psychology and tactics - the same used by the shady people - but using it for good. These tactics can, I believe, completely help your business, at a very minimum helping increase your exposure and income, when done right. ... or take a listen if you prefer... Either way, let me know... What do you think? Are you worried about using things like email marketing and affiliate marketing because of all the shady people out there? Are you using to great affect? Let's talk about it in the comments below.
