3 Big Marketing Lessons from the RUSH Concert

Hi Everyone...

Sorry it has been a while since I posted anything here...As some of you may have heard, over the last few months I've been dealing with some on going family issues...But I'm getting back on track again and have a whole bunch of new and fun projects I'm getting started with...

The first one I'd like to mention is coming up next Thursday, July 29th...I'm going to be doing some free live one on one coaching via Skype...I'm setting aside two hours on to answer any questions you may have about marketing, online marketing or general business questions...

To get in on this add tedsmagic as a contact on skype...There will be two  1 hour sessions...First is from 10-11 Am (EST)...The second, 1-2 Pm (EST)...Just send me a message on skype and you will have 10 minutes to have your most pressing question answered...Questions will be taken in order and I'll try to answer as many as I can in each hour session...I'll see you then!



If you follow me on Facebook, you know that I recently went and saw my favorite band in concert this past Monday night!  I'm talking about RUSH!  Rush has been around for the past 38 years and they still know how to put on an incredible show!  Great music!  Cool and Fun Video!  Lasers!  It is a smorgasbord for the senses!

Here is lesson 1-Have a great product, service, show or presentation!  What can you add to your product or presentation to pump it up a notch!  How about Video!  Or an audio of the person your referencing in your speech.

Merchandising! Lesson 2-  Rush had a whole area set up where their fans could buy Rush T-shirts, Poster, Ball Caps, and even ladies Rush panties!  Every successful entrepreneur knows to sell product at the back of the room!  People want to take a piece of you home with them!  So what can you sell at the back of the room?

Here is the best marketing lesson!  My mentor Eric Paul used to call this "Salting their Appetite"! Rush played 2 new songs from their up-coming CD!  I would guess that half of the people at the concert did not even know they were doing a new CD!  But I can tell you that they can't wait to get their hands on it...myself included!  Brilliant Marketing!

The only way they could have made this better was to tell everyone where they could download the new songs from after the concert!

This is one of the best ways to market your services and products because it is so Easy to do and cost you almost nothing to implement!  All you have to do is keep people informed as to what they can expect from you in the future...a new product or services that will blow them away!  Just hint at what it will do for them or their business and get them excited about it!

Don't forget...You can get answers to your most pressing business or marketing questions next Thursday!  If you want to get a jump on everyone else you may post your questions or feedback in the comment section below!

See ya soon!

How to Improve Your Next Online Video!

Hi there...


I wanted to let you know about a new video I just posted below, "How to Improve Your Next Online Video!" In it I cover several tips and strategies to help ensure your next online video is a huge Success!


The reason I put this short video together was to share what I learned when I entered Personal Success Marketing's video contest! Even though I did not win the contest, I did get a honorable mention for my creative efforts! Charlie Seymour Jr. and Dr. Marc Kossmann even posted my video to their site! Very cool! You can see the original video at Personal Success Marketing!


I hope that you enjoy this quick video and the strategies shared in it!  Please let me know what you think of the video in the comment section and feel free to share your best online video tip!



Don't Forget!  This Thursday at 8:00 PM (est) we will be doing another "Teds Tips for Success" broadcast on Ustream!  You can RSVP or join us by clicking here!


Thanks for sharing your video ideas and tips!

Productiveity

Here is a great question that was posed in the March issue of the Dan

Kennedy NO B.S. Marketing newsletter, "Really, How Productive
Are You?"

Dan gives several great examples of how many of us myself included,

squander our time without even realizing it.  Here is one I

found really interesting for sports fans!

According to the Wall Street Journal (1-15-10) the average 3 hour

broadcast of an NFL game breaks down to:

1)    67 minutes of players standing around

2)    17 minutes of replays

3)    3 minutes of Cheerleaders (should be more)

4)    65 minutes of commercials

5)    9 minutes of announcers on screen

6)    And 8 minutes of injured or celebrating players

This leaves just 11 minutes where the ball is actually in play! 

This clearly illustrates how much time we waste.  Lucky for

us, Dan also suggest how we can monitor and fix the problem.

Here's Dan's sugestion to become more productive.

Dan say that if you hired someone top shadow you 24/7 for a week or so

and record your productivity, you would get an accurate picture of how

you spend your time/waste your time and how productive you actual are.

I'm not going to hire someone to shadow me. Instead I'm doing the next

best thing. I've decided, that for the next week I'm going to keep a

productivity journal. I'm using a plain notebook and pen to record

everything I do from the moment I get up till I go to bed at night. I'm

also recording how long on spend on each activity.

I challenge you to do the same or similar exercise. It will give you a

concise picture of what you are really doing with your time. It will

also point out your distractions and time drainers so that they can be

eliminated or at least monitored and control as much as possible, thus

making you more productive!

Today is day 1 for me. and it has taken me around 20 minutes so far to

post this. Sometime next week I will post the results of my biggest

time drainers and distractions. Based on today, the phone is a big one!

I also wanted to share with you our latest episode of my new online

show, "Ted's Tips for Success!" In this broadcast I share how to form,

structure and run your own mastermind group! It was alot of fun but

right towards the end my browser crashed so it ends abruptly! It was

still a great program though and full of some great info. you can use

to build or multiply your business!

So check it out if you like!
