Now There Are No More Excuses Strategy #1 Audio Interview Use FreeConferenceCall.com. It is free to sign up. You will be assigned a phone number and pin for you (as the administrator, and for the participants). All you need to do is contact someone in your organization,
facebook group, mlm upline...whatever. Ask them if you can interview them. Chances are Mike Dillard will not return your email. You may be better suited contacting someone in a facebook group that you respect. If you are an internet marketer, surely you participate in Facebook groups. Simply shoot them a note and ask if you can ask them 7 to 10 questions on a recorded phone
call. Be up front with what your objective is. Very few will have a problem saying yes to this. Some may need a little nudge, so let them know that they can put a cheap plug for a product of theirs, or just pitch their Facebook page...whatever.
I recommend writing a script, including (most importantly) an
introduction of the person being interviewed. Do a little research on them. Make it personal. List their accomplishments and projects they are currently working on. This does two things. First, it edifies them to the listener. They will want to know that the person being interviewed is worth their time. Second, it shows the person you
want to interview that you are serious. Not only that, it makes them feel 'special' that you know that much about them. Email them the script and questions you plan to ask. One more thing... We want to suck all the juice out of this right? Well let him/her know that you will provide them with a copy of the recording so they may use it for marketing
purposes as well.
Once you have an interview locked down, make the date. Get on the phone and use the record conference call option with the Free Conference Call setup and off you go. Price tag? 0$ One small footnote‌ The person you interview does not have to be a millionaire. Don’t think that you
have to interview Mike Dillard or David Wood. If someone you know in your sphere of influence is adept at just one thing, whether it is PPC, list building, Facebook, LinkedIn, or whatever. You can turn that into content someone else wants to hear. Remember, its all how you sell it. Strategy # 2 Video Series: This one is becoming more and
more popular since video is probably the most effective means of communication for online marketers. It allows us to visually lay out specific step by step instructions that solve a specific problem the user has. There are many different kinds of videos you can do. There is the one with you talking into the camera, possibly in front of a white board drawing out some plan.
Also, you can do a screen capture video, where you would use a program like CamStudio or Jing to record your screen while you talk. This is a favorite strategy for those who don’t like the way they look on camera Jing and CamStudio are free downloads. There are others, such as Camtasia, which offer many more editing options, but it costs a few hundred dollars. If video is your main vehicle, it isn’t a bad investment.
However, since this report is geared toward people on a limited budget, I recommend Jing or CamStudio. There is one drawback to Jing. It only allows you to record 5 minutes at a time. If you are good at being direct with your message, this can actually be an asset. It is a lot easier to keep your video messages clearer when you have the ability to separate the ideas into several different videos. There is an option to upgrade to
Jing Pro which costs a few dollars a month. I find the regular Jing suitable for my needs. If you are shooting a video of you talking, whether it is a talking head video, or you in front of a white board, a Flip camera is a great investment. It is very cheap and shoots great quality videos. Its also super easy to transfer the videos to Youtube. It literally plugs you’re your computer and uploads straight to Youtube.
You can get the smaller memory version on Amazon for less than $75 right now. Many people now have smart phones now. Filming a video off the cuff was never this easy. Whenever the inspiration hits you, start filming. When you have the videos ready to give away, simply create a page on your blog, and upload them. Make the page on your blog the destination url when somebody opts in. Easy peasy lemon
squeezy! Strategy # 3 Free Reports This is my favorite! Free reports are powerful! Far more than you may imagine. You can write a 710 page report on xyz subject in your niche and give it away.

Let me address your first question that I know you are probably Get This! It Will Dramatically (CLICK HERE) Shorten Your Learning Curve
already asking yourself, “What am I going to write about?” This is easier than you think. Try this…Find a popular book in your niche. Look in the table of contents and see the chapters. Is there some kind of subtopic that you can learn and put your own
spin on? Let me give you an example. Let’s say you are a gardener. You will be writing about gardening, but that is such a broad topic that you can’t master it in 15 to 20 hours. So find a good book on gardening and flip through the chapters. Find something like ‘fall planting tips’, or ‘save your crops with organic bug repellent’.
Could you do a few hours of research on the best organic repellants that keeps bugs from destroying your tomato plants? I think so! This is one of my favorite ways to get ideas. It’s so freakin easy! The only thing left to do is sprinkle in some affiliate links in the body of the report. Or, even better, the last page should be a resource page with a place for the reader to opt in to your list and/or
purchase something from you. Now that you know what to write about, it’s time to get it done and then start getting it out there. First, you will need to upload the report as a pdf file on your webpage. If you have created it as a word doc. Just convert it to pdf. There are many pdf converters out there, just Google it. Then you must upload it to your site. Watch the video below to see
a demo of how to do that. CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO Once you have that done, it’s time to get it on the web in a big way. Go to Facebok groups in your niche. Post things like this, “How To Never Lose A Single Tomato To Insects And Birds With 100% Safe And Natural Repellants!” Post the link to the squeeze page that offers the opt in for the report.
You do NOT need to pay somebody to build a squeeze page for you. Simply add a page to your blog. Put in some sales text with the offer of the solution to the insect and bird problem.
