Ask Me Anything – ShoeMoney Questions

Post image for Ask Me Anything – ShoeMoney Questions

I am super excited to start our ShoeMoney Questions series again!  And we are gonna give away prizes for the best questions.  Nothing is off limits…  You can ask me anything.

A lot of times someone will ask me a question via Facebook or email and I will go into this super detailed response and I am like “Shit, I bet a lot of people would find value in this and I should post it on the blog.”  Getting asked questions really gets my brain humming.

I will try to answer a question each week (maybe more depending or maybe less, we’ll have to see).

Just email your question to ‘questions@shoemoney.com’  (please don’t comment or use the contact us form).

If we post and answer your question I will ship you the famous ShoeMoney T-Shirt and a signed copy of my international best selling book – “Nothing’s Changed But My Change” – The ShoeMoney Story.

Again – just email your question to questions@shoemoney.com

Create A List With All Previous/Potential Advertisers

Posted: 27 Aug 2013 05:28 PM PDT

If you ever attend a marketing or sales course you’ll probably get this tip in very first lesson: save information about all actual (i.e., people who bought from you) and potential (i.e. people who expressed interest in your product in some way) customers, as selling to those will be much easier than selling to strangers.

Now why do website owners and bloggers who selling advertising don’t follow this same tip? If you think about it’s pretty much the same thing, and it could be just as profitable.

In other words, you should create a list of contacts (with at least name and email address) of all the people who either expressed interest in advertising on your website or who actually purchased an ad. Practically speaking, whenever you receive an email with an inquiry about advertising, save that contact on your list.

Once you have that list you’ll be able to contact it on various occasions, significantly boosting your advertising profits.

For instance, if you redesign your site and place a new banner spot you could email your list and ask who would be interested in taking that spot.

On slow periods where ads are not selling that well you could create a promotion, say 30% discount, and email it to your list to see who would be interested.

Not only will you sell more ads, but you will also build a stronger relationship with those people, which could lead to other types of collaboration in the future (e.g., giveaways, contests, etc).

Don’t have such a list yet? Well, start one today.
