Default Deals are happening everywhere...

One of the questions I often get is... what is Harvey Brody doing now?

Harvey runs his business... But to keep it chugging along (selling millions of dollars worth every year)... only takes him a few hours a day, a few days a week...

(How he does this is outlined in his "toll position" course...)

What is he doing with the rest of his time?

As I said... deals are happening everywhere! (Yes, Harvey is an amazing deal-maker...)

All you gotta do is keep your eyes open... Love him or hate him, Donald Trump is the consummate deal-maker...

What are you doing? Are you doing deals?

Don't be one of those wondering what's going on...

More soon...!

Best wishes,

Dien

Default Re: Deals are happening everywhere...

Hello everyone,

At the moment I am 100% focused on keeping growing selling cheap E-Books on Facebook, by Facebook Ads.

I sell them and sent them by chat.

I'm looking how to increase the profit of this my info business.

Default Two types of deals...

There are (at least) two types of deals...

One type of deal and mindset is typical for those who come out of the real estate world...

It's the "zero sum game" or "win-lose" type of deal...

If you're buying or selling a real estate property, it's a "zero sum game"...

If I am selling a real estate property and I get a higher price, the buyer pays a higher price (and therefore loses more money)... I win, they lose (relatively speaking).

Donald Trump comes out of the real estate world, and his perspective seems to often be that of the "zero sum game" or "win-lose" mindset.

The same goes for the author, Robert Ringer (author of the classic book, "Winning Through Intimidation")... He also comes out of the real estate world, and the "zero sum game" mindset is throughout his book.

The other type of deal and mindset is the "positive sum game" or "win-win" type of deal...

It's the type of deal where both parties win!

The combined outcome is greater than the sum of the parts!

These are the types of deals that Harvey Brody does... He wins, and the other party wins too...

Let's say you write a book, and you find a publisher who agrees to publish, distribute, and market your book. If your book is successful, it's a "win-win" deal... You'll make money, and the publisher makes money too!

If the publisher is good at what they do, you'll make more money by working with them, and if your book about an in-demand subject, they'll make more money as well by working with you!

I personally prefer to play in the "positive sum game" and "win-win" deal making world!

It's good to know that there are two approaches... Not just one!

The mindset of each approach is completely different!

There are a lot of lessons from Harvey Brody to come... which are not in his course... (Though his old course is immensely valuable too!)

Best wishes,

Dien

Default Re: Deals are happening everywhere...

Hi Mike, been thinking about selling cheap-ish stuff on Facebook so any hints would be appreciated even if it's just how cheap is cheap and what (if any) is the upsell path.

Good luck with your project!

Hi trevord,

I sell the E-Books on the price 20€.

Everything is made by the Facebook chat: the reply, the payment by the user and I send the E-Book there.

Utter simple as that.

There is no external landing page. Only talked at the chat.

And it works!

I want to keep it the most utter simplicity I can.

Default A deal in the making.

The fact you are DOING it M. suggests you have information others would pay for...why not create a little HOTSHEET on what you are doing, in a step by step manor, how you use the chat, how facebook makes it happen, and all that.

It would be a welcomed little product in any language and of course, you embed additional offers in it.

How long would it take you to create a little hotsheet on what you are doing...a few minutes?

Keep it going now.

Gordon

Hi Gordon!

Thank you for your reply.

To be honest, I think that this works because I am doing here in my Country, and I'm writing at my own language with all their language and cultural nuances.

Redirecting to outside landing pages doesn't work. At least for these cheap E-Books, or the copy I write.

I don't know if this simplicty of everything made on the chat would work, for example, to US market.

Probably a US market replies better to an external landing page.

I don't know.

I'm persisting on this system because I want utter simplicity.

And not having an outside landing page, for me, is utter simplicity.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I already wrote a short e-book on how to advertise on Facebook. I only sell with discount. But there is interest on the product – at least on my Country.

Regards

Default ENTREPRENEUR Bob Morrison Did Something which will HELP U Mike

Thanks Mike,

Bob Wrote a book and Tested 100's of Titles.

Started selling like HOT CAKES with this headline.

"Why SOB's Succeed & Nice
Folks Fail in Business"

(EDITORS NOTE - Back When I worked a job. I Bought cases of Bob's books. Put ONE on My Desk. Sold them 1 at a time for 25 Bucks.)

Then Bob chatted with a few of his Book buyers.

Then Asked Questions of More and more.

Discovered something INSANE.

90% of his book buyers Glanced at the cover. then PUT HIS BOOK on The Shelf.

And
NEVER
READ
A Single page!

CHA-CHING!

Bob had an idea.

He Broke his book Chapters into EXECUTIVE REPORTS.

NAMED EACH CHAPTER.

And sold All of of his several Hundred Thousand Book Buyers
The Special reports.

Info They ALREADY Had bought in his book!

On The ONE HAND - some folks might think this a bit SHADY.

HOWEVER.

If you can get People to TAKE ACTION with a Short Report.

You have Helped them a Lot.

So.

(YOU MIGHT Wanna Check with some of your Buyers.)

THINKING.

THINKING.

THINKING.

What if - it DOES NOT MATTER if Your Group HAS READ your Reports.

IF You Write a Questionnaire/BONUS.

Asking, "Which ideas from my Reports are your FAVORITES?"

(EDITORS NOTE - Follow The Pres. Trump Marketing Formula. Multiple choice Questions. To Get a Sample of What voters Want.)

You Might hit a Home Run.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - USA Singer Kenny Rogers had a Genius Manager, Ken Kragan, who got 25%.

(Turned Kenny's "The Gambler" hit song. Into a series of best selling movies.)

After ASKING Their List
Which is Your FAVE Song.

They put together a ONE OF a KIND Album of all of Kenny's
MOST REQUESTED Hits.

(EDITORS NOTE - Never Done Before. Cuz record Execs NEVER talk to Fans.)

From Feedback from Fans
who answered their Questionaires
and Opinion Polls.

Put ads on Country Radio stations.

Literally sold Millions of Albums.

Harvey Brody's course of TOLL POSITIONS is quite difficult to find. Trying to find that course is like trying to pick flea **** out of black pepper... with boxing gloves on!

Saw a set come up on Ebay once 8 or 9 years ago for $500.

Perhaps Dien can talk him out of the couple of hundreds Harvey has in his basement?
