Are You Doing The Important Stuffs?

November 15th, 2007

Since the start of this blog last month, I’ve implemented various traffic strategies to get my blog ranking up. Submitting to blog directories, article marketing, did a traffic challenge, etc. And within less than 6 weeks my traffic has jumped up quite a bit and my ranking is still increasing steadily.

But today, suddenly something occured to me…

I happened to flip through some of my notes and I realised I’m getting a bit too caught up with all these technology and getting swayed from my original purpose of this blog. It’s not about trying to drive as many free traffic as possible and get nice rankings. It’s about creating my branding and using it as a tool to build my online business.

I’ve unconciously slipped into focusing on the activities and missed out the big picture. It’s amazing how easy we get caught up with doing small (unnecessary) stuffs that are costing us the really important things, isn’t it?

Do you remember the story of the professor who stood in front of his class with a big glass jar and started filling it with the big rocks? (This story probably had travelled the world a few thousand times thanks to viral emailing) And when the jar is full of the big rocks then he filled it with the smaller rocks, which filled in the gaps between the big rocks. And then he poured in the tiny sands. And lastly the he poured the water in.

The moral of the story? The guy had a bad childhood and missed playing in the playground. Just kidding. The moral is that we need to focus on the big, important things in our lives (and businesses), and the small things will fit in just fine. If we focused on the small things too much, we would’ve missed the really important things cos the sand and the water would have filled up the jar.

So I’m declaring today as “Refocusing On Your Purpose” day.

Are you doing the important stuffs in your business and your life? Stop for a minute. Take a moment and take a step back. Are the things you are doing currently moving you towards your goals? Or are they moving you further away? Are they necessary at all?

Have fun and enjoy focusing on your dreams and goals again.

 

Boost Your Results By 300% – Profit Booster 2

November 14th, 2007

This is the 2nd part of the “Profit Booster Case Studies” where I reveal my profit boosting strategies that brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars for my clients. Apply the strategies and you will get real bottom-line results… Guaranteed!

Something ‘interesting’ happened right after I sent out the first part of this series. But before I get into that let me give you the latest part (2nd) of the Profit Booster Case Studies here:

>> http://www.maneuvermarketing.com/blog/case-studies/

In this case study you will learn how you can easily apply my strategies to boost your results by over 300%, without spending additional money… even if you’re just a self-employed entrepreneur or salesperson.

Now for the ‘interesting’ part. Since my announcement of the upcoming launch of the “Profit Booster DVD Set” on 16 November, I had a few people emailing me about it. A few of them are already very interested in the DVDs and one lady even said she is extremely interested, though she will be away in Europe on the date of the launch, and she doesn’t want to miss it!

Why is it interesting?

Because I’ve not even talked about the contents of the DVD set!

So why haven’t I written about the contents of the DVD set? Well, frankly it’s because the sales copy for it is not ready yet. I’ve been busy juggling clients and posting the case studies. In fact, this 2nd part of my “Profit Booster Case Studies” should have been posted a earlier.

But don’t worry, when the sales copy for the DVD set is up, you will get a very good idea of what the program covers, in detail. Meanwhile, you can read the latest case study here:

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them here. I love to hear from you. Have fun & profit from the case study, and let me know your thoughts. To your profits,

P.S. By the way, Chris Garrett suggested that I create a page to list all the case studies for easy access. Great idea! So I’ve created the page here:

I’ve also updated the old links to the above page.

How A Letter I Wrote Raked In 5 Figures… And Growing – Profit Booster 1

November 12th, 2007

This is the 1st of the “Profit Booster Case Studies” where I reveal my profit boosting strategies that brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars for my clients.

I guarantee that when you take action and apply these strategies, you will get tremendous bottom line results.

I’ve shown a few of my friends a sneak peek at the case studies I’ll be sharing and they are certifying me CRAZY! They are wondering whether I’ve lost my screws up there because I’m giving so much away. Apparently they are concerned that I’ll be ‘spoiling the market’ by giving away my exact strategies… for free.

These are more detailed and in-depth than most of the marketing materials floating around. This first case study showed how a letter I created Raked In 5 Figures… and it’s just barely starting! The letter brings back $295.20 every time it is mailed out! You can get the first case study here:

>> http://www.maneuvermarketing.com/blog/case-studies/

Question: Imagine if you have that letter in your hands, how many letters do you want to send out? ;)
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them here. I love to hear from you and interact with you.

Have fun & profit from the case study, and let me know your thoughts.

By the way I plan to release the next one tomorrow, so look out for it. I’ll let you know when it’s up.

Actual Campaigns That Raked In $100,000s Revealed In Detail For You

November 9th, 2007

If you’re a regular reader of this blog then you might have known that I’ve spent most of my working life as ‘The Strategist’, behind the scenes of many successful businesses and promotions in Singapore. For those ‘in the know’, I am the go-to guy who helps them radically improve their business and income.

The good news is: I’m about to start a series of case studies where I’m revealing exact same strategies I used to help my clients raked in literally Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars… in detail!

These are the same strategies I used to help AKLTG (Adam Khoo Learning Technologies Group) become a million dollar training business within just one year starting from scratch.

Here’s what Adam has to say:

“Sant played a very valuable role in the growth and expansion of the company. He is a fantastic marketer and copywriter! He wrote most of the marketing materials from scratch, including the advertisement that we ran.

That headline was so successful that the phone rang off the hook the first time we ran the ad. It was a phenomenal result!

He also came up with a structure to use very low cost and extremely efficient marketing techniques. Within the few months that he was with the company, he helped the company bring in more than $500,000! I recommend him highly.”

- Adam Khoo, Founder
AKLTG Pte Ltd

I’m also sharing the strategies I used to help Dr. Dennis Wee (another multi-millionaire entrepreneur in Singapore) to win prestigious awards such as the ‘Spirit of Enterprise 2006′, ‘Lifelong Learning Awards’ and also arranged for his appearance in various media such as The Straits Times (multiple times), Singapore Business Review, Steer (and many others). We even wrote a best-selling book together called Get Rich Now.

Here’s what he said about me:

“Sant’s marketing ideas and strategies are powerful, creative and practical at the same time. He is a dependable friend and someone with integrity. Any business will definitely benefit from working with him.”

- Dr. Dennis Wee, President
Dennis Wee Group (DWG)
Top 12 Entrepreneurs of the Year
Winner of Spirit of Enterprise

And in case you think that those strategies might not be relevant to you because they are for ‘big businesses’, I’ll also be sharing specific case studies of other small & medium businesses (the bulk of my clients) and how my strategies helped them raked in the profits BIG TIME! Below are some examples:

=> Like the software developer who was struggling to sell their products until I created a strategy that motivated their prospects to approach them instead of the other way around. In fact, my client more than doubled their prices and yet each of their customers are buying a few sets of their software.

=> The math tutor who was struggling to get students even when her fees were way below the market rate… until she asked for my help. After applying my system, she raised her prices to the premium level and yet she had more students than ever before!

=> An IT company that was fighting to increase sales in their highly competitive industry. After following my strategies, their sales jumped by 30% and they spend 50% less time closing their sales.

=> The brand new bakery that started in a new market. In just a couple of months it was supplying well-known cafes and restaurants with a 20% premium pricing.

=> The real estate entrepreneur who experienced over 300% more responses after applying my strategies… even though he is in a highly competitive area.

=> The massage therapist who was failing to promote her services to schools. After applying my strategies, her prospects were seeking her out and offering 5-figure deals.

And many more! I could go on but I think you get the idea.

I’ll break down the strategies to their nuts and bolts so you can see how you can apply them in your own business. These will not be one of those generic or regurgitated advice most people are posting. These are specific in-depth strategies I personally used to create massive results from. You will get to see the blow-by-blow implementation and the results they generated.

Why am I doing this?

There are 2 main reasons.

Reason 1: Earlier this year I decided to stretch myself to help more people. While I did, frankly I know I can do much more. This will be one of the ways I can do that. (I swear my up-coming birthday next week didn’t give me more pressure to achieve this goal!)

Reason 2: On 16 November, I’m about to launch the “Profit Booster DVD Set”. (It is quite a massive collection of 15 DVDs + many bonuses.) This DVD set is jam-packed with the exact same highly potent and ultra explosive strategies I regularly use to help my clients rake hundreds of thousands of dollars in a matter of weeks, sometimes days!

I have applied them in many different industries such as education, training, IT, design, F&B, production, real estate, health, beauty, publication and others. And every single time, without fail, they raked in the profits!

There will only be 70 sets available and only for the Singapore market for now. This is because most of the specific case studies I teach in the DVD uses Singapore context (although the principles are applicable anywhere).

If you’re an entrepreneur, business owner, in upper-management or in sales based in Singapore, you might want to pay close attention and mark the date – 16 November.

 

But I Need Your Help…

While the DVD set is only for the Singapore market, the high octane principles and strategies can be used anywhere, in any business. And I would like to have as many people benefit from this as possible. So I’m asking for you to help me spread the word about the coming case studies.

If you’re a newsletter, ezine, blog publisher or you have a list of subscribers who are interested in entrepreneurship, business, marketing and sales strategies, let them know about this post. Please only send to your relevant lists as they will probably be the ones benefiting the most.

Your subscribers will thank you for it and they will know that your recommendations are of high value to them. This will help you establish better loyalty with your readers too.

The case studies begin in the next post.

Are You Different Or Are You Just Like The Masses?

November 5th, 2007

Are you different? Do you stand out from the crowd? Are you unique compared to the rest of your competitors?

If you take a look around, you will notice that all extremely successful people and businesses are different compared to their competitors. They have put in the effort to stand out from the crowd. This is an extremely powerful albeit logically simple concept that will give you the edge over your competitors.

In fact, one of the first things I help all my clients do is to create a distinct differentiation against their competitors. Using this strategy I’ve helped them triple even quadruple their businesses easily.

There are many benefits for being different. Read the rest of this entry »

Join me at Facebook!

November 4th, 2007

I’ve just joined Facebook – the fastest growing social networking site in the virtual world, even faster than MySpace (according to the latest report). In Facebook I’ll be sharing more of my thoughts and musings and other casual stuffs. You will also get to see my other friends. If you’re interested to join my entourage of friends, simply join Facebook and add me as your friend.

So why do I choose to join Facebook? While MySpace is still the biggest social networking site, Facebook is fast catching up and is predicted to take over in just the next few months. And it’s no wonder.

MySpace is not as user-friendly, aesthetically not as pleasing and doesn’t have those fun applications and games that make Facebook so popular. In sharp contrast, Facebook is well-designed, looks great, works great and have hundreds of fun applications you can use to interact with your friends online. Inviting your friends to join you is also easy. That’s why it’s so easy for people to get hooked in Facebook.

Even though at the moment I’m not a big fan of social networking sites, I believe in learning and keeping up with new developments. By being a member of a social networking site you can get in touch with a huge network of people. To a certain extend this is similar to growing your ‘list’. While most of the members in a networking site are probably there to network and get in touch with friends, there are ways to make attract your targeted audience.

For example, in Facebook you can create and join niche groups that are discussing specific topics. That way you know the members of the group are targeted audience. With the rapid development of massive applications for Facebook the potential is just getting bigger. So join me at Facebook and be part of this giant.

Traffic Generation Challenge 5: The Result & Evaluation

November 2nd, 2007

This is the last part of my “Traffic Generation Challenge” where I document my efforts of driving massive to this brand new blog from scratch, with little technical knowledge.

October had passed and as promised I’m sharing with you the statistics of the traffic generated since the start of the challenge, 20 days ago (from 11th October). Since then I’ve used my brand new blog as an experiment to apply those traffic strategies taught by various people online. I’m interested to see whether the strategies really deliver great results or are they just hype. In this post I’ll share with you the results I got from what I did and my personal views on the various traffic generation strategies.

The context of this challenge is to get:

  • Targeted (quality) traffic

  • FREE ‘organic’ (non-paid) traffic

  • Maximum result with minimum effort

Here’s the result: Read the rest of this entry »
