- I've got Stephen in Augusta, Georgia on the podcast with me today dropping GEMS for anyone doing the Neighborhood 9x12 postcard sytem as a side hustle or job replacing income.
He's:
a teacher
has 6 kids
sold his 9x12 postcard out in 4 weeks
sold all the spaces online, no face to face
has TWENTY ads on his card!
uses a special pricing strategy that's so simple but will blow your mind
But most importantly, he's HELPING his local community and business owners by giving them an advertising platform that reaches 10,000 people with no competitors.
What a great guy!

• How I'd make $5,000 to...
WOW! I did it! Thank you Jake, for the awesome content, I just did my first card (community size) and I am all set to drop them to the post office on Monday. The printing looks SO GORGEOUS!!!! I had no idea it would be so fun to meet all the local businesses in my little town. They are really excited! I met people and made new friends that I would have never met. People are asking me about the next one. THANK YOU!
This is great content Jake! As a teacher myself, it’s good to know this business is possible with limited time in the day. Stephen’s story fired me up!!
it can be your retirement plan!
Jake, you really should be proud of yourself. You’ve been helping businesses in many different ways for over 10 years and recently the amount of people doing the 9x12 because of you has exploded. Each person has their own story and reason for wanting to make some extra money or replace their income and they put their faith in your system and it pays off time and time again. Congrats on all your hard work!
@@Del_Keba thank you man that means so much!
Come Monday morning I’ll be filling my last two spots on my first 9x12, basically giving them away. I started prospecting about two and a half weeks ago, and it’s been a lot harder than I expected. I’ve had more luck with response to Facebook messenger and in person rather than email. Next time around should be much easier to fill, now that they know that I’m not just some long haired hippie trying to take their money 😆
This is what I was wondering if in person is more relatable
I love this! I love seeing that beautiful baby in his Daddy's arms. Dorn and I have worked mainly from home with our ten kids... and this is exactly our life. Baby in one hand, mouse in the other!
you know exactly!!!!!
Your baby is beautiful! You should be proud to be “stuck” with that precious little one
I am haha. I don't want her to get bigger I hate it.
@ She is so beautiful. Treasure each and every moment. Blink and she’s a teenager!
Hey Jake, I watched your video last night, and it really lit a fire in me! I’ve started posting about local businesses on Facebook to put myself out there, and I’ve even walked into several local spots to make connections. While I haven’t had luck yet, I’m staying positive and determined to make it happen. Thanks for the inspiration-it’s just the beginning! 🎉
Seen a few interviews recently, but really loved this one with Steven. Mindset and consistency is all!
I’m in the process of finishing up my first flyer. We have 10 businesses so far and I need to fill out the last six but everyone from now on is profit and I’m looking to get this done this coming week and hopefully send it out by the first or second week of February the latest.
Very inspiring story! I'm going to give it a try. Congratulations Steven! Beautiful baby girl! Thank you so much for sharing!
I just filled up my first postcard, and I'll be doing the mailing in a couple days. Love this idea, and so glad I found your video about it!
woo hoo!!
@HighResponseMarketing My oldest son has been working with me on this, and we have some big plans to grow. :)
I am so grateful to have stumbled upon your channel, what a breath of fresh air! I am absolutely obsessed with the idea of EDDM right now. From what I have researched thus far, it seems like a fantastic opportunity to maintain work-life balance while also serving your local community (and beyond.) Do you have a website (other than your brick-and-mortar business page) or online community? Your content is insanely valuable, I would subscribe 10 times over if I could!
This is too cool! I think I know who Stephen is! He runs great community FB groups in the area…so awesome to see this interview!
awwww I tuned in just to see the little cutie
❤️❤️❤️
Loved this interview. I really needed to hear this episode, I’ve been super hesitant after watching your first video that popped up 2 weeks ago. But I decided to put on my big girl pants and started the process this weekend. I have my layout and just started my social media accounts today. I will be researching and keep posting updates as the time goes on. Thank you for the informative videos!
Great interview and love the website too
👏 Very helpful! Working on one to support America's Children of Fallen Heroes and this was helpful fuel!! Very well done💪
Love this idea...gets my tiny brain working. It's just so gratifying to help fallen heroes and there families. They sacrificed so much.
Great video. I registered my business and got my bank account opened for it. Just set up an email and Facebook page for it. Will be prospecting this week aiming to get my first card out in early March with a focus on things for the spring. I’m a little nervous that I don’t understand the tax implications fully yet.
I don’t know if other people need this, but the comment you made in this video made me think I might not be alone - if you could address in a little more detail how to set up the different payment options for a business I know I would get a lot out of that. Not sure if that’s something you might be able to talk about during one of the live streams.
Thanks!
I’m working on my first one and so far everyone I’ve talked to and knows what it cost to send these things out are very happy to work with me
right, anyone with a brain gets it!
What is the cost for your small, medium, large? I’m struggling with the cost. My lg is $900 is that close to yours?
You were up late getting this one out.
Great one though. Gives me hope. :O)
Thanks Jake! I am starting up and am wondering how I can get a sample pack to show business owners.
Love this
This is great video and even better editing!!
Another great video interview. How can I get info about the elite membership?
Do you have an example of the post? Did it include an image of the card? What do you do it you only sell half the card as you mentioned how do you fill it up?
Do you have videos how you started your print business? Where you get supplies etc.
You guys doing the ad art or outsourcing or is customer
Amazing great job
You are a nice guy 👏 👍
inspirational Thanks guys
Are the businesses putting coupons/deals on the card that’s are only good for one use? Or is it good for as many uses through like 30 days? Just wondering how they handle that since you can’t cut the ad out of the card…
Let's Go!! Congrats Stephen
Well I just sent out emails locally in my area im doing a 8.5x11 and doing 8 spots total. Wish me luck.
keep at it!
New subscriber to the channel. I run a printing company and can combine this idea with it. Is there a course or step by step video I should be watching?
A great addition to your business. You already have a bunch of customers coming to you.
Great video, question, I am putting together a 9x12 piece can you print me a few samples on that glossy paper? Let me know if you are able to print some samples of what it’s gonna look like
I'd love for you to turn these into podcasts that we can download. I work in a place with no internet out here in the boonies. I've kept the podcasts downloaded and keep playing them. I'm ready for new content on podcast
It's on my podcast on Spotify for download anytime! Just search high response marketing in Spotify or Apple Podcasts
The baby is adorable
Jake. I want to buy your samples. How much and where can I get them please.
hey wilfredo! highresponsemarketing.com/samples
You can go crazy and do 25.5x11 through EDDM it can be 100lb gloss folded to 8. X 11 that's ALOT more advertisers.
or you could do a magazine with hundreds of ads. the problem is once it's folded you lose the guaranteed visibility.
Nice
Do you create a company, marketing company?
Watch all his videos and you’ll be trained
Lots of Pros, what are the Cons? Really are the possible issues that can come up?
not filling the card is reallyt he only risk. as long as you can fill half of it and break even you're good though.
Let's go!
Who is watching from Canada ? I had a question about Canada Post
See. I knew you could do it.
Doesn't it cost .73 cents to mail a 9×12 postcard?
If you mail it with stamps it takes two stamps but in this system we use the eddm.usps.com program which brings it down to 22.3 cents each
@HighResponseMarketing ok cool thanks
Man I have no luck getting response through email
What he doesn’t tell you is most big cities are already full of people trying to do this. This isn’t something new and a lot of the companies are getting hounded weekly for the same thing. He’s the mastermind behind it because he doesn’t do the ads he promotes it to get money off his printing business. So he’s basically running a pyramid scheme and not having to put in any foot work other than make a video about these great successes. Has anyone even looked into the people he interviews to see if it’s legit or just hired actors. If it’s actually as easy as he says then everyone would be doing it. All I can say is google it first 😂.
@ I mean what’s so hard about it tho ? It’s literally one of the cheapest advertising options out there. if I lost my job and was down and out I would have the time and grit and be up in every single business until it was filled this would be harder for people that don’t know design at all not even Canva is it easy money not really but compared to other options it’s pretty simple.
@@TravisJCollins it’s hard because you’re competing against 20 other people that want that easy money and also trying to convince the company you 1. Aren’t gonna just scam them of the money and make said advertisement and 2. Prove your advertisement is gonna be better than the other 20 people calling, emailing and walking in. It’s not as easy as he makes it seem this isn’t new money making idea people have been doing it for a long long time already and are way ahead of you.
@ yea but the difference is I’ve never once received any form of advertisement in the mail as good as the post card I created nothing is ever easy if you have the right mentality this is definitely easier then most other businesses/ side gigs
@ not sure where you live but we get those kind of postcards advertising stuff all the time and if it’s so easy you should have plenty filled up and sold by now right? If it looks to good to be true it probably is.
😁
Been having a lot of trouble getting businesses to respond. I’ve sent out about 100 messages through email, instagram, and Facebook and haven’t had a single response. Do you think I should chance my script up or just keep sending out more messages?
I don't get responses from messages, emails and texts. Mostly I imagine bc of gatekeepers.
I'm by no means an expert but here's my advice. You don't need much of a script, the more you think about it that way the more of a salesman you sound like and in my personal experience people don't like to listen when you sound like one, just simply explain the postcard; multiple businesses, local homes, 5-10k houses, and that's about it, just keep it simple 🤙
Go see them in person you get a better result. That's how I've been doing it for the last 16 or so years.
@@qual1356he is right, I pretty much only do email and DMs and keep it short and sweet, let them be intrigued and ask for more details. Don’t make it long and give every single detail in your initial email, don’t use salesy terms, keep it conversational.
I just finished filling up my first card. I started with a couple business owners that I'm friends with, and that got me going. I've just been sharing the Canva view link with people so they can see it. Also had a friend share a FB post in a local group, and I had lots of people reaching out to me. Still, it's definitely been a numbers game, but the overall response has been very positive! Just keep working it. :)
