Archive for Offline Consulting Product Reviews

A few weeks ago, I received an email from someone talking about everything they were trying to do for their offline consulting clients. They were interested in creating blogs for their clients, creating lead generation websites, and even sales pages for products and services.

It’s was pretty awesome that they wanted to do it even though they didn’t have much designing skills. However, I told them that WordPress makes a great platform for any of these.

The problem was, although WordPress makes website design much easier, until recently, you’d need different plugins or themes to accomplish these.

Trust me, I’ve paid over $2,500 in WordPress themes and plugins to do everything I wanted it to do. Even then, I still was using different tools to get the job done.

But just recently, I purchased what is perhaps my last and only WordPress Theme I’ll be needing to accomplish 80% of my website work for my offline clienst.

It’s called the Profits Theme. This thing is absolutely awesome.

Let me just tell you that I own the iThemes Builder theme (which I do recommend by the way and this site is created on), StudioPress themes, Thesis, Headway, OptimizePress, JVPress, and perhaps hundreds of others and the amazing thing is, Profits Theme has just won my heart over all of them.

The thing is, it does literally everything I need it to do in one theme. Here’s a quick list although I could probably go on and on:

  • membership sites
  • corporate sites
  • download pages
  • launch pages
  • one time offers
  • squeeze pages
  • sales pages
  • legal pages
  • thank you pages
  • profession blogs with featured content and multiple widget areas
  • you name it, it does it

So those are the kind of sites it does easily.

Here’s a few other things it does for you…

You want to create formatted testimonial boxes? Does it! Have over 25 different layout and template options. Yup, you have that too. Display special report or fake videos on optin pages? It’s got that too.

Here’s a look of some of the built in templates (believe me, there’s 26 of them).

I can go on and one, but I think I can’t do it justice on my own. Anyway, you owe it to yourself to check it out. I know it was a no brainer for me.

Most importantly, their support has been stellar and you can expect the same. You got me too who is using this theme now almost exclusively.

Check out what’s probably the best wordpress theme for making money. After you check it out, tell me what you think. I’m probably going to transition this site over to it shortly after I’m done with my niche membership site that I’m building with the Profits Theme.

Video Marketing Makes A Killing For Offline Businesses

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

On Tuesday evening, I attended my very first Meetup event here in Chicago. It was a great event since I want to get in front of offline businesses to sell my online services to.

Anyway, I made some great connections there with several business owners and they were very intrigued at what I was telling them about online video marketing. They had no idea videos create a huge opportunity for them to rank in the search engines.

What was most surprising is I learned many of these businesses were paying anywhere between $1000 – $3000 for a monthly SEO service.

But, when I showed them what I could do with video, they were completely sold. In fact, although it was my first Meetup meeting, they asked me to do a presentation to the group of 45 on how to leverage video to bring in new clients and increase their sales.

Talk about a good meeting.

Now, I’ve been doing video marketing for some time. The types of video that I’ve been doing for clients has typically been image based videos as well as high quality video ads (not live footage). I’ve sold them from between $500 to $2500 each.

However, just a few days ago, a new course came out called Main Street Marketing Machine which is all about video marketing to local businesses. It’s by the makers of Traffic Geyser and what I love about it is that its truly a turn key system. It gives you scripts, marketing materials, collateral materials, autoresponder series, free reports for businesses not to mention tons of useful tools.

I admit that when I saw the price, I was a little surprised as I’ve gotten used to prices being about $500 – $1000. But, when I looked at the opportunity I had in front of me, I couldn’t pass it up. So guess what, I took them up on their offer. I actually purchased Main Street Marketing Machine and I don’t regret it one bit.

In fact, I highly recommend it. I don’t usually use this blog to promote things, but when I looked at everything it had, it was a no brainer for me at least.

Now, I tell you this for a number of reasons.

The first is that I’m excited about it and I’m already well on my way to having a video client pay for the entire thing so I can get my money back. It was really a short investment since I’m already creating my first campaign (it does take action).

The second reason is that I’m an affiliate for the product and I became an affiliate only after I purchased the product. I saw the power of it and recognized that this has the potential to be the only thing you need to do to make real money from offline marketing consulting.

So, here goes the “pitch” you’re probably expecting now, although I do this very differently that typical affiliate marketers.

I strongly suggest it. I believed in it so much that I purchased it myself. I am committed to following through and putting in the action to get the results. I also recognize that 100% of the claims of it making money is entirely up to me and what I do with it.

This would be the case for you if you take a look and decide its something you want to do in your business.

So, here’s the deal. If you want to check it out and buy it directly from them, no problem, it’s absolutely worth it. Here’s their direct link: www.MainStreetMarketingMachine.com/getit .

However, if you want to buy it through my affiliate link which gives me some of the money, click here.

Here’s what I’m going to do for the first 5 people who purchase through my link:

  1. We’re going to do group coaching so we do this together (a $1000 value). It’s like a mastermind session between you, me, and the 4 others that buy from my link. They’ll be 6 weekly calls so we all implement the strategies together to make sure you aren’t left in the dark.
  2. I’m gonna give you 4 professional and engaging videos that I use on my own marketing site that gets me sales for different $500 starter services that I offer (a $2,000 value {the minimum I charge clients is $500 per video as you’ll see on my site}). You can check them out by clicking the small images under the main video at eMarketingChicago.com. I’ll even change the call to action to your phone number or domain name so you can use them immediately. Sheesh, you can even submit them with your new Traffic Geyser account that comes with the package and get yourself dominating the search engines like you will for your new clients.
  3. I’m going to create your first campaign for you (a $1000 value which you’ll sell for over $2500). In a nutshell, one of the fastest cash getting strategies is setting up a landing page under a specific market (like Charlotte Dentist or St. Louis Chiropractor) to get leads. Then you submit a video through traffic geyser to get your videos ranked all over page one. Then you sell the landing page to a business for $2500 – $5000 and do it over again! You’ll need an autoresponder, hosting, and a domain name at the minimum, but we can talk more about that if you need help.

As you can see, I’m giving you a lot of stuff if you purchase through my link. However, you don’t have to since the package is valuable enough compared to most other training programs.

Anyway, if you want to check it out through them directly, click on their link above. However, if you want to check it out, don’t mind me getting paid a little on it, and want all this cool stuff, click here to check it out now.
