Simply Genius
I woke up pretty early this morning and decided to flip on the news and to my surprise I saw something outrageously amazing in a story covered, equally amazing was the reaction of the press and the experts they called in for this very unique case.
There’s an important and grounding lesson here, if you pick it up and follow suit you’ll hit your success metrics faster, if you don’t you’re going to miss out on of the largest “secrets” to success I know, use, and see used by just about every break out success in the home business industry.
The really interesting thing about what I’m about to share with you is mastery of this skill changes your life, you’ll be able to stress less, take care of the important things like your friends and family, not worry about what the economy is doing, and quite literally start turning a lot of heads, attract more winning prospects, grow teams faster, easier, and with less rejection.
In fact, I think it’s so important, whether or not you have time read this lesson now or later you should set aside sometime today to take five minutes to really go through this thoroughly on your schedule and really think deeply about how you can apply THIS to your business.
I’ve personally used this very same principle to recruit 101 people in 55 hours at $500 a piece, I’ve seen some students and colleagues uses this to make well over $200,000 in just a few days, to put it bluntly, this just works.
Wouldn’t you like to know how to attract large sums of muney with seemingly little effort in any economy? If so listen in . . .
So there I was flipping through the channels and I stopped on a news channel about 5:30am, nothing special going on, the whether, early morning traffic reports, but then they switched to a piece about the economy and what people were doing to pick up work.
The news ran a story about a woman in Connecticut who decided to take a risk.
She had some money saved up for a down payment on a house, but instead of using it for that she decided to spend $7000 of it on billboard advertising.
That amount of money bought her one month on a roadside billboard to advertise whatever she wanted. What did she put on it?
A simple message . . .
“Hire Me”, a picture of her, and a simple website address to learn more about what she had to offer. At the time of the newscast, she had over 800 people visit her website.
They interviewed her and asked her why the heck would she do something as “seemingly crazy” as wager $7000 to put her resume on a billboard.
Her reply “You have to get your name out there. You have to be aggressive in todays market. Yeah I could have saved the money for a down payment, but what’s the use if I don’t have a job?”
Side note: Now more than ever, people are looking for a home business, YOUR opportunity to thrive is on the rise if you’re in a home business. If you don’t know how to get the word out online I strongly suggest you start going here.
The interviewer and the host of the newscast responded in a manner as if to say “she’s nut’s but we’ll see . . .”
And here’s where it got interesting.
They brought a hiring expert to express what the job market would think about her “advertising” her abilities in this way.
The expert said “We’ll if it’s done in a tasteful way we may look at it, but if it’s cheesy any employer would simply pass here up.”
Meanwhile I’m sitting there watching the news thinking “How freaking genius is this . . .“
This woman, for being aggressive, taking on a little risk to get her name out there, not only is getting the direct result of having interest parties review here resume online in her local area, she’s NOW gotten a FREE TV spot nationally, been interviewed for it, and is now getting her name in front of the entire country.
The whole time, neither the TV station or the “hiring expert” realize what she’s really done. She’s gotten free national advertising on the news.
Not bad, “I’d hire this woman in a second if I needed a full time graphic designer” (to be honest she probably doesn’t know it, but she’d make a great entrepreneur) and even though the newscast didn’t say she’d landed a job yet, I’d bet my house she does before the month is up.
What does this have to with you and your business?
Most people out of work get depressed, feel bad for themselves, and go into a completely inactive state and for it, get lost in the shuffle.
Maybe you didn’t have immediate success in your business. Did you slowly become more inactive and get down on yourself?
I know I did back at the beginning.
Why not try the opposite. Take calculated risks, be aggressive in going after your specific goals.
This woman was after a job, she devised a plan, got some advertising in her local area in a unique and direct response way (how much more direct can you be than to put on a billboard “hire me” right?) and for it she got national media attention.
(Ohh by the way, A few minutes later I flipped the channel and saw the same story running on another news station. You can’t beat that for free advertising.)
The lesson is don’t wait to be lead.
Just go. Make it happen and you WILL attract attention, you’ll be in full control, and you’ll probably create a little “success mojo” in the process.

P.S. So I’m curious, now that we’re thinking about being aggressive and unique. What are some the way’s you’re going to apply this lesson to your business? Let me know your genius idea below. Let’s chat about it . . .
BRILLIANT………People can’t buy from you, if they don’t know OF you!
I applied this same technique years ago on a billboard going out of Vegas, so when people left Vegas they saw a Billboard with of a House with MONEY spilling out and blowing the Roof off the house. and It simply said …..While your reading this sign driving home from work, I am at home making money!
It’s all about being in front of people!
Thanks Daegan

Hey Daegan,
I just love you — you are the greatest — your pieces are always so informative
wanted to give you a heads up —- Remember Ethos from a few years back? Remember how the owner shut down all of the marketing because of the people at the top turning out to be rotten eggs.
Well, he is back and with a vengence — even a new formula.
My upline guy was directly recruited by the owner — the company launches next week.
Want to join me — no where on the website to join right now however I can put you in my downline I am building it right now check out ethosFR.com read all of the tabs
heck they have not even announced the comp plan — however all stops are out regarding the internet marketing plan — is all I know — so I suspect this will be a no brainer for you if someone else has not enticed you already!
Let me know
Namaste’

Fantastic idea - in today’s market it’s NOT who you know - BUT WHO KNOWS YOU! that’s why attraction marketing is changing the way business is run - on and off line.
Brilliant post Martella,
Feed the ego a little, tell the story a little, and put a billboard right here on the blog for what you’re up to. (I wonder why more people don’t post here - every time I update blog about 2000 to 5000 people come over to check out the new post) Now I do censor negativity, but if you’re clever and add value it’s free advertising in a sense right here.

Hey Daegan,
Great post my friend! Another reminder that this economy will FORCE people
to be creative and cut through the boring clutter out there.
People have to remember that no matter what “business” they’re in… we are always
selling ourselves, and the more outrageous marketing you can do, the bigger you’ll
be in your industry.
And Daegan, you yourself have been a great spokesperson and promoter for WebProsperity, it’s been
amazing to have a team member like yourself. Thank you!

WOW!
It’s always great to get confirmation before you are about to go to the next level.
My brother and I are in the process of running a couple of full page magazine ads,
something we have never done before, so it has been a little intimidating…
But It’s time to take risks.
Wealth isn’t created without risk.
So thanks Daegan!
Ryan,
When it comes to Magazine advertisement you should find a way to get in touch with Glenn Mosser (commented above) he’s built teams in 60,000+ range using good old fashion print media. That’s what I call the real deal.

Thanks for the prospective, Deagan, When we are looking so hard for something to work sometimes we rely on these so called experts who are just feeding us a line. The last eight year of talking heads and media pundits have taught us that you are your best expert, your gut instinct will lead you to what to do to promote your self and your business. There is no recession for good ideas and ingenuity. The Susan Boyle story on overnight success after 47 years is a wake call to everyone with a dream for success. Also you are a success we can reach out to for inspiration thank you
Wow, I love it! It’s true the newscasters were calling her carzy, but she’ll end up making more than they do by the end of the year! Make It Happen. I just wrote that on Twitter! Thanks for the story man.

I really enjoyed your site, wish to get involved with the program, but just don’t have the funds necessary at this time!! Thank you for letting me read this over, just the same!!! bymonew@yahoo.com
Absolutely Brilliant! Great story, and what a great find! I’m sure with the many people who watched that story (I’m sure there were millions…) she will have so many people wanting her as an employee.
It’s funny. I was just thinking this morning that I would run an ad in the classifides saying somthing to the effect that “Handy man with plenty of time on his hands and a truch willing to haul and fix your household problems will meet or beat anyones bid please calll 386-774-0645. What do you have to lose? All work guarenteed all you can do is save!

I also have a guitar business. website: www.myspace.com/spyderguitars {pics/video} I get alot of traffic thru my site. I am looking for serious musicians, who want to help me represent my guitar business. Everything is patented/trademarketed. Please help me and I will help you. Glenn Sandberg CEO Spyder Guitars Inc.
You’ve asked that people look at how they will apply this great story and lesson to their own businesses. One thing that comes to mind is not overlooking some of the obvious off-line ways to get noticed. Most of us (myself included) are so focused online that we can overlook the common sense of ANYTHING that will put our name, or website, business, -whatever in front of people.
If it’s simple, direct, and get’s to the point in a few seconds it will probably resonate with a percentage of those who see it, and a small percentage is all it takes.

Mighty “KING” Daegan,
Awesome story, we have been following your email posts for quite awhile in the shadows and have been thoroughly impressed with the quality of content provided. However, this one is just off the chart and demanded kudos. We likewise have had to implement massive out of the box thinking and action just to get exposure even though our product sales itself once seen and experienced. No exposure No closure! Example, we have used our Unique Selling Proposition of “Drop 2 to 3 Dress Sizes in 10 minutes” NO Diets, NO Exercise, NO Surgery, NO Pills GURANTEED! to get FREE NBC, ABC and other news coverage exposure resulting in instant credibility, validity, trust and ultimately happy clients. If it can work for us, it can work for everyone. By the way Mighty “KING” Daegan if you know anyone who would love to “Drop 2 to 3 sizes in 10 minutes” and get paid for their story, stop by MyMDB.Biz which stand for My Million Dollar Body! Also, the compensation plan is unlike any other.
Keep it coming.
Cheers,
Ray McNulty
Amazing and amusing, gets to the core of today’s reality.
So good it made me get out of my usual shadow and make this comment..
If this is what it takes, then we should see a big increase in
wayout and innovative advertising by all those of us who read
this blog - heck its already made a difference!
Lets all go up to the next level!
You’r the King Daegan
I love it!! The key to success in any business is Advertising, Advertising, Advertising. It does not matter if you follow the example this woman did and pony up your last dollar for a billboard instead of putting it down on a home which you may end up getting foreclosed on anyway. Every day we see ads and think, “I pay no attention to that. That stuff doesn’t affect me.” Meanwhile don’t even think twice about paying $75.00 for a pair of sneakers just because we recognize the Nike “Swoosh” tattooed to the sides. The new advertising resource I love is how they stitch messages across the butt of woman’s clothing. As if to say, “You are looking down here anyway, you may as well read my ad.” In fact, if any of you nice looking ladies out there would be so inclined to volunteer, I think this summer I’d love to have you out there walking around with my website address tattooed across your ass.

Hi Daegan, I thought of this 20 years ago when I was looking for a partner, but, I was told people would think I was advertising a little more than looking for a friend!! ha ha. I think getting your name out there is brilliant. I am thinking a short video, as like you do and spending more time sharing my business opportunity online. With the Resession looming, I have the greatest secret to earning income in 6 ways, without leaving home, yet still, learning the internet is tricky to me. Thanks for all the great emails. I save the ones I will use to negotiate the net, for when I get timetoo. I should say, for when I make time too. Cheers Tina-Louise www.justifyyourfuture.com
Amazing, how a simple change of direction can draw such a dramatic result. Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where George does everything opposite to what he would normally do. The result is he begins to have great success, something he never experienced before.
This woman just proves that doing something different will only get you different if not better results.
Good for her, and yes I would love to have her on my team. What an example she would be!!!
Hey Daegan,
I just received your CD and read some of your material. I am not very knowledgable in this internet marketing thing, but I have tried many MLM’s in the past with NO success whatsoever, so I am hoping your way works because I was ready to give it up.
Thanks,
Chris
