Today, were going to talk about two methods to increase your Twitter Post’s marketing power.

If you’re a returning reader, you already know that I hammer on the theme that promo codes are NOT just used to offer discounts.  Utilize promo codes properly and you can use them to drive interested traffic to just about any site on the web.

If you’re using promo codes in your Twitter posts, it can create a curiosity factor that gets your Twitter readers to take action on your post.

For example, say you want people go to your newly create “best widget” site.  Instead of making a Twitter post announcing your launch like this:

Typical Twitter post:

“Hey, I just opened my new site about “best widgets”.  Check it out here, yoursite.com “

Better Twitter post:

“Use Promo Code:  4gt56  at yoursite.com to get insider info about “best widgets”

When your Twitter visitor goes to yoursite.com, they are now looking for the promo code form to enter the code so they can get that insider information you promised.

See the psychology here?

People are so bombarded with “click here” links to the point that you really need to get a little more creative in getting people to “click here”.

Twitter is an excellent way to drive traffic back to your site BUT it’s easy to get drowned out in Twitter just like any other medium that you may market in.  It’s up to you to come up with some creative ideas to help you stick out from the crowd.  Remember, the whole idea is to get people to “click here”.

Adding the curiosity factor by marketing a promo code instead of a “click here” link is just one way to get that extra attention you need in a very noisy market place.

You’ll see that you really don’t need to offer a “discount” in order to offer or even make promotional codes for your business.  Coupon codes aren’t JUST for offering discounts.  The video above will show you how easy it is to create and make promo codes.

The goal, obviously, is to get your visitor to click on the link.

You put hyperlinks in your email newsletters, your blogs, social networking sites…basically everywhere. That’s HOW you get visitors to your sites.

But…

There is an alternate, less common, sometimes more effective way to get visitors to your site WITHOUT using a hyperlink.

Consider using a “promo code” to drive visitors to a site of your choice FIRST!.  For example, if I wanted someone to download my free report Promo Code Marketing Tactics, I may send that traffic to THIS blog first to enter the promo code.  Once here they could enter promo code “showme” in the promo code form at the top of my blog to get the report.

Why would I do this?

Well, because I may want them to see my entire blog.  They may see something else that they are interested it.  I may get a new RSS subscriber.  I may make an affiliate sale of something totally unrelated, etc.  It really depends on the content of the site that you are sending your visitor to.

Bottom line, it’s an “out of the box” idea if I don’t say so myself.

With Promo Code Software you can do these types of promotions and drive traffic to your site of choice as well as sending them to your promotion of choice.  It’s like getting two birds with one stone.

Here’s a technique that’s just begging for internet marketers to adapt online:

It’s called the “candy bag” marketing trick.  From what I understand it originates from the Ueno district
of Tokyo and it’s a sneaky little secret that gets customers in a literal buying frenzy.

Anybody who turns this idea into a script for ONLINE sales will no doubt have a winning script to sell to internet marketers

Use this promo code for the report:

Enter    japan

… in the promo code form above in the promo code box located in the middle top of this blog.

What do you call them?

How do you use them?

Well, first of all, you need to understand the myth that “promo codes” don’t necessarily need to be used as a discount coupon code like most people think.

If you were to use promo codes on your marketing site or blog as a “ticket code” or “ticket system”…how would you use them?

I’m interested in your comments.

Buy the way, if you don’t have a means to use coupon codes as a marketing tool other than giving a discount, check out Promo Code Software:

Take, for example, my own Promo Code Software Membership Site.  Since I own Promo Code Software, ALL my customers become my subscribers.  If I were promoting the membership as an “affiliate”, I may be smart enough to collect the names and email addresses of people who may be interested…but I certainly wouldn’t be able to collect that info on EVERY customer.

When you have your OWN product, you get the benefit of building a much larger list of customers than any of your affiliates (if you offer an affiliate program where others help you promote for a commission).

When you have your OWN product, you can market to your customers and offer related products or services as an affiliate….

This “back end” income is what really fuels the lifetime value of your customers.  Sure, you can promote affiliate programs and make a damn good living off of it online.  But once you have your very OWN product…that’s when things really start to take off for you.  Well, it did for me.

So, what I’ve done is gather the SAME coders that developed Promo Code Software for me and make them available to YOU so you can have your own product to

I may have to leave the internet marketing scene soon for higher office.

Check out the local media attention I recently received:

Now, many companies are constantly changing coupon codes so it would be difficult to keep up on the most current one at all times.  So, when I found this video on YouTube, I figured I’d post it right here on my blog.  Interestingly enough, this video shows you a technique to get a discount at GoDaddy without using a coupon code.

If you want a potential Joint Venture prospect to say “yes” to promoting YOUR product or service, you’ve gotta make it hard for them to say “no”.

That may sound like a no brainer, but as you probably know, it’s easier said than done.

Making it hard to say “no” does NOT include offering a high or even 100% commission. If you contacted me about sending a promotion about a new line of perfume to my contacts, I’d politely turn you down…even if you offered 100% commissions. Your offer of 100% commissions doesn’t make it hard for me to say no. You see, the commission rate doesn’t mean squat if the product doesn’t make sense.

Now what if you came to me and offered 100% commissions on your newest “marketing product”…hmmm, that’s my niche. My entire customer and prospect list is full of marketers and small business owners.

I can’t tell you how many emails I get that look like this:

“Hey Jason, I noticed your Promo Code Software membership and I think it’s a great idea. Very interesting. Listen, I have a product that would suit your list quite nicely. It will save them a lot of time doing xxxxx. Plus it will help them xxxxxxxxxxx. I think it would be a very nice fit with your members. If you are interested please let me know. I’ll hook you up with xxxxxx per sale. Probably the easiest money you’ll make. Just send out an email”

My answer?

“No Thanks.”

Why?

Because I’m busy. I already have a slew of my own promotions coming up. I have recommendations to make based on my own experience. I don’t have time to look at and study YOUR program. I can’t even finish everything I have planned for today.

Yes, I admit, all I have to do is send out an email to my list. How hard is that? Why on earth don’t I have time to do that for easy 100% commissions on YOUR product? Even if the promotion flops….what do I have to lose anyway? Doesn’t cost me anything to send out an email and it will only take about 2 minutes. How on earth could I be too busy for that?

What am I, some sort of jerk?

No. In fact, I’d LOVE to help.

So allow me to explain WHY I’ll say “no thanks” to something like that:

Nice attempt. I applaud you for it. Thanks for thinking of me but…….

Now I’ve got to contact you. I’ve got to look at your sales page. I’ve got to sign up for your affiliate program. I’ve gotta figure out how to angle your product to make sense to my subscribers, etc, etc.

Look, I get 400 emails a day (that I look at). Your proposal, no matter how fitting it may be, no matter how beneficial it really may be….it represents a lot of work on my end. It distracts me from my own activities for the day and it’s not like I have a loss of products to market…including my own.

You have NOT made it easy for me to say yes just because you are offering 100% commissions and a product that would probably fit with my list. You have failed in making it hard for me to say no.

Even if you have sparked my interest, it’s way to easy for me to put in on the back burner.

Make It Easy For Me To Say “YES”

As you can see, it’s not about the commissions.

It’s a combination of two things.

First, does the product make sense? You need to make it crystal clear to your Joint Venture prospect WHY your product or service would make sense to their contact list. If you don’t want your proposal sent directly to the trash can, you need to articulate the specific benefits of your product in the space of just one paragraph, two at the most. Be short and punchy when explaining what your product is, how it can benefit the customer, and how it can compliment your JV’s value (to their list) by offering & recommending it.

Next…

Make It Brain Dead Simple For Your JV Partner

Now that your potential JV knows what your product is about (in a nut shell) and how it could benefit their list of subscribers, you are still only half way there to even getting their attention…let alone a favorable response.

A sure fire way to get others to promote for you is to prove that it will benefit their list and then to make it brain dead easy for them to promote.

Set up a promo code for your Joint venture partner using Promo Code Software.  That promo code should be placed on your blog or even directly on your sales page.  Using the software, you can easily have the promo code redirect to ANY page you want.  Make a special offer page customized specifically to your potential Joint Ventures list.  Mention your JV’s name or company.  Make the case for why YOUR product is right for them.

After you have this special page set up…

Contact your potential JV partner and tell him/her that you have set up a special campaign especially for their list and that you have a promotion code that they can give to their contacts for that “special deal” or for the bonus, or what every your deal is for them.

More often than not, your prospect (JV prospect) will be impressed with the work you’ve done and will recognize that a promo code is a unique and intriguing thing to send to their list.  It’s different and creates a certain sense of curiosity.  People want to see what the promo code is all about.

Once you create a “template” page for the special offer, it’s really easy to just make simple changes in the text to reflect different JV partners in the offer.  Usually it would be a headline like…

“Special offer for xxxxxx Members”

You just change the xxxxxx to suit who’s list you are promoting to.

The JV partner that you are looking to recruit will never know that it was a snap to put the process together because you used Promo Code Software. 

Joint Ventures are easy if you prepare and set up campaigns for your prospect.  Remember YOUR prospect is the potential JV partner.  Make it relevant, make it easy, and show the potential profitability LAST.
