I almost always flame these "make 10k next month" videos. This is the FIRST one I have seen with a REAL business idea that anyone with some serious drive could do.
I almost skipped this video thinking it was another guy with one of those ideas that they never did themselves or that sounds good in theory but has a ton of red flags in terms of the ability to actually make it work. But then he said something about pitching it as a business owner and I realized just how ingenious this idea is. I can get my own advertising out there for free as a real estate investor paid for by other businesses and make money all while helping multiple businesses make money! Now that got me excited! Thanks!
Love this idea, but it feels like there's a major chunk of info missing. Where do you get the addresses, how do you label and ship 10,000 pieces out? Im sure there are automation tools available, but what are those? That's the bigger hurdle to me than getting the businesses on board
This builds the foundation, but I want to see some more of the operational side. Specifically, I’m interested in how you build the mailing list and handle postage processing to send them out. I had this on in the background, so I apologize if I glossed over that detail.
"Teen, Grandma, Single Mom, Student, housewife, sidechick whatever your stage in life may be, this is for you. Take notes, listen multiple times, whatever you gotta do to get that side income going."...Sidechick??? Please tell me that was autofill, I'm dying!!! You are the best Jake!
The major hurdle i ran into was all the nuances trying to explain the whole idea & format to a graphic designer. It was a debacle and stretched into weeks b4 we shelved it. Gotta have a graphic designer whose familiar with the process, none were available that Jake recommended so we had to go outside the circle so-to-speak and it was a disaster. Gotta have a knowledgeable designer whose familiar with the process & doing it ourselves was even more time consuming & we just got to fed up with the designing side of it without using someone familiar with everything.
This is awesome! Please, I didn’t hear how these mailers are meant to get into the boxes. Do you pay some people off of Craig’s List to deliver into mailboxes? How much should that cost? I’m going to send this video home to the States to my elderly parents and brother because I believe it’s something they can do together now that their social security is at risk with the current election winner. They are scared, but this seems something doable that they could manage all together to make up the potential deficit if they lose their social security. Help them thrive and feel empowered. I know I could coach them from afar where I am. They could probably get into the creativity of Canva, and approach sales in a way that they never could manage before - that whole idea of approaching biz owners as a biz owner is fabulous… and giving ads away to premium businesses… this idea is so unique compared to what else is online these days. I’m kinda gobsmacked. Thank you!! (I just need an answer to the first two questions above, thanks!🙏🏻)
Id be curious to know, how do we show them the ad after design? When do you ask for the payment? I ask this because in order to show therm a tangible marketing card you need to have something in hand which involves loot, unless you go with a tablet or something and show them in Canva itself or something. Thoughts? All in all I think this would be a great third business for me. could fill the gaps in time I have between seasonal jobs I got now.
You could make a mockup of the design. I can be bare bones with just a few lines simple shapes and text that reads "your add here" or you can make a complex mockup that looks a lot like what the intended finished product will be. But something that falls between the two is the best option. As a graphic designer, this is the kind of thing I do to build my portfolio.
Question: Do you have to have a designer? Which company to use to get the 9x12 postcard for the printing and mailing (Can they target a city or zip code)? Or you have to provide them the addresses? A response would be really appreciated.
something you're doing is wrong and likely an easy fix. hundreds of businesses doesn't sound like an efficient process - and if the problem is they're not understanding what this is you're somehow complicating things. It's 10,000 people receiving their ad in the mail. Almost everyone can understand that. Some small changes and you'll sell a card out in no time!
@@elvinaguero4651 the interesting thing about it all is you don't necessarily need to. You're just providing a platform for exposure - just like a billboard in a sense.
How do you deal with the design of the individual ads? Do you charge each customer separately? Do you include it in the price of the ad? Or does the customer provide you with a finished ad in CMYK, 300dpi, TIFF format?
How do you receive payments from clients? (POS, invoice, etc). And when do you take payments since they are unaware of your legitimacy, meaning pay now n I'll be back...also can you reply on a good company that will do the mailers..
Imo, monthly would seem better to capture small businesses. Quarterly is a bigger chunk of change and harder to close the sale. A good idea is to offer existing clients the option of monthly or quarterly as you’ve gained their trust by then (especially if your cards have brought them more business) good luck!
There are so many list providers out there that are free. For me as a real estate investor I use a free service called propwire. I haven't done what he's talking about but getting addresses and owner names is relatively simple. You could also pull a list from local tax websites
He didn’t say 3 months. He said “if you’re doing this in February then by the time you get it out it’ll be March”……. That’s just over a month like he originally said.

thank you! I also see other videos like that and am like WTH this is not even remotely possible. .

What? You don't have a sidechick?? Every marketer does.
🤣
Lmaoooo that was hilarious 🤣
This is a really cool idea, I love helping small businesses! Thanks 🙏🏽👏🏽
New subbie here
Thanks for your information. Great job.

@@clawJAMMER0317 oh that sucks to hear. I highly recommend using canva templates honestly, it takes all the problems of design away.
Thanks!
oh man thank you brother!!!!!
Looking forward to working with you.
same!
This is an interesting idea. Do you have others like this?
lots
Wait…this is a great idea and pretty approachable. I might just give this a try in my suburb.
This is awesome!

Interesting concept, first time I've heard about this. Does the 9x12 get folded up so that it fits in all mailboxes?
Id be curious to know, how do we show them the ad after design? When do you ask for the payment? I ask this because in order to show therm a tangible marketing card you need to have something in hand which involves loot, unless you go with a tablet or something and show them in Canva itself or something.

😊😊😊 I appreciate all your gems you gave us and thank you for your time! I'm so excited to get this going!! 😺
Can we get an example of the cards you have to help us
Great info
thank you!

If we’re just starting out then what do we show them as an example? You said no upfront costs but it costs to make the 9x12
I’ve been hitting up literally hundreds of businesses and not many people want this. The hardest part is explaining what this is. They have no clue.
something you're doing is wrong and likely an easy fix. hundreds of businesses doesn't sound like an efficient process - and if the problem is they're not understanding what this is you're somehow complicating things.
It's 10,000 people receiving their ad in the mail. Almost everyone can understand that.
Some small changes and you'll sell a card out in no time!
How to measure the feedback from the business? Or how you track the performance of this method!
@@elvinaguero4651 the interesting thing about it all is you don't necessarily need to. You're just providing a platform for exposure - just like a billboard in a sense.
How do you deal with the design of the individual ads? Do you charge each customer separately? Do you include it in the price of the ad? Or does the customer provide you with a finished ad in CMYK, 300dpi, TIFF format?
Hmmm great question… inquiring minds wanna know! Lol
Do you offer exclusivity only per postcard?
Does it work nowadays, with free ads that you can do with Tik Tok and the other social media platform???
How do you receive payments from clients? (POS, invoice, etc). And when do you take payments since they are unaware of your legitimacy, meaning pay now n I'll be back...also can you reply on a good company that will do the mailers..
How do we show that we sent out 10000 postcards
Do we charge monthly or quarterly?
Imo, monthly would seem better to capture small businesses.
Quarterly is a bigger chunk of change and harder to close the sale.
A good idea is to offer existing clients the option of monthly or quarterly as you’ve gained their trust by then (especially if your cards have brought them more business) good luck!
Have a prototype with you
Is there a viable way to go about this if i dont have a legitimate business yet? (ie Llc etc)
great thing is that you can just file a DBA (doing business as) for maybe $50 and you're in business legally!
How do you find the address?
There are so many list providers out there that are free. For me as a real estate investor I use a free service called propwire.
I haven't done what he's talking about but getting addresses and owner names is relatively simple.
You could also pull a list from local tax websites
3 months? Last video, I saw you said 2 weeks 😂
3 months where you seeing that? 2 weeks is all it takes to fill a card
3 months was the planning in reference to hitting "spring time"
He didn’t say 3 months. He said “if you’re doing this in February then by the time you get it out it’ll be March”……. That’s just over a month like he originally said.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
