Internet Marketing Lessons from the Grateful Dead Part 1

General Categories, Internet Marketing, rock and roll, , , , ,

Wolfgang's Vault

The Grateful Dead knew their niche.

The Grateful Dead was a rag-tag bunch of misfits and malcontnets. They weren’t the best musicians. They weren’t slick. They never had a “hit” record. And yet they were (and still are), wildly popular.

They became friends with famous artists such as Salvador Dali. Their fan base consisted of U.S. Senators, lawyers, doctors, professionals, and working people.

They went from giving free concerts to a multi-million dollar organization that employed several hundred staff members.

At one time, the Grateful Dead sold out the largest music venues in the country. Generally for two to three days at a time. Sometimes, twice a year.

The organization still makes a bundle to this very day, and yet they have not released any new music.

Lesson 1: Know your niche.

The Grateful Dead did not try to become all things to all people.

They knew early on, their appeal was very limited. While they released music albums, they got very little commercial radio air play.

They understood their audience and their audience understood them. The Dead’s model was to take their music to the people.

They become known through word of mouth. One person would go to a Grateful Dead concert, and they would tell their friends. Soon, they would tell their friends. And on and on.

Their shows became viral messages, as more and more people attended their concerts.

Through it all, they concentrated on their fans. They never tried to appeal to everyone.

The Grateful Dead understood their niche and put their energies in devloping that niche.

Is It Possible to Create A Quality Info Product Overnight?

General Categories, ,

Here’s something you already know: Information Marketing is booming.

But that doesn’t mean much to anyone who doesn’t have their own product.

So how do you create one starting from scratch, especially if you don’t have any experience?

And, more importantly, how soon can you really have a quality info product up and selling? You couldn’t just decide to create a new, high-value product and have it ready in a few days… could you??

Well, if you’ve read Brian McElroy’s rock-solid “Product Creation Manifesto”, then you know that it’s entirely possible.

This is an important subject so I was quick to download a copy of his new report as soon as it was released.

Sure, there’s no shortage of free reports and free videos and free this and free that online … but much of free is regurgitated or outdated info.

Then there are the gems; The ones that are actually worth the time investment to work through.

The “Product Creation Manifesto” is a GEM.

Reading through this 36 page PDF took me one sitting, but the ideas it contains will be running around in my head for weeks.

Some of what I picked up:

Affiliate marketing is EASY when you have your own product. Brian shows how he built up a full-time income from promoting other people’s products… even though he’s no good at it!

Getting Joint Ventures is like a stroll in the park when you follow Brian’s advice. This is the best source of free traffic you could possibly ask for.

Hiring writers to create your product on “freelancer” sites is NOT a good idea! Brian shows you where to pick up incredible bargains.

Those were just from the first few pages!

Brian’s Manifesto also reveals the weird reason why you shouldn’t sell information. It’s a losing ballgame! What you should really sell is a solution, and he reveals his methods for doing so.

This is highly recommended reading for information product merchants and, probably even more so, affiliate marketers.

NOTE: If you do *not* have an info-product of your own or are intimidated by the idea of creating one, this should be required reading.

RAP and Pizza…

General Categories, ,


I’ve been struggling to set up an affiliate program. The choices for software are staggering.

How much should you spend? What software will work for me?

I have a couple of different products and have a number of new ones coming out. I was looking for something that would allow me the flexibility to be able to install it myself without a huge learning curve.

Believe me, I have been burned a number of times with products that promised the moon and did not deliver. The hardest part of this entire process is to find people you can trust.

After much research, I finally found a stellar product. It’s called RAP: Rapid Action Profits.

And it really lives up to its name. The product is an incredible one. you can create One Time Offers, you can promote your product with affiliates. And best of all you can set it up on multiple domains that you own. There are a number of other great features, as well.

I was able to set up my own affiliate program for my Pizza Therapy Pizza Book.

And if you want to promote pizza, you can join my affiliate program right here.

The absolute best part of RAP is the support that you get.

So sign up for my affiliate program, and help me to promote pizza. Go right here, now.

And then make sure you check out RAP. You will not be disappointed.

I have been going through Promo Dashboard and I must say I am quite impressed.

Admittedly, this is not a traffic generating product, rather Promo Dashboard makes your site a list generating and sales machine.

Marlon Sanders has put lots of spit and polish into this product. As one of the super stars of Internet Marketing, he has generated millions of dollars in sales and built a list in the tens of thousands. He is a marketer who you need to pay attention to.

I created a video which gives an overview of the product. I highlighted the important features.

Here is the link to check it out.

Marlon also created his own video which you may find very helpful. In this video Marlon explains How to Promote in Three Easy Steps.

Here is the link to Marlon’s Video Click Me.

There is so much useful content here you will be amazed.

What I like most about Promo Dashboard is the way the lessons are arranged. The process is meant to be gone thorough step by step. There are tons of tips, tricks, shortcuts and visial explanations.

This product is incredible and gets my highest recommendation.

Wolfgang’s Vault: Musical History

A little known fact about me, is that I spent a few years as a DJ. I didn’t work at a top 40 station, rather the music that I played had meaning for me in my life. Music was such a part of me I wanted to share the soundtrack with whoever would listen.

And what a soundtrack it was.

My first radio show was broadcast on the Virginia Tech College radio station in Blacksburg, Virginia. I was basically able to play anything I wanted, with few limitations. My experiences there were incredible life lessons that have stayed with me to this very day.

Later, I would get a job on a commercial radio station in Montpelier, Vermont. The station, WNCS, was one of the very few which would broadcast all types of music from reggae to hard rock and everything else in between. This was not your typical radio format.

I had a number of highs and lows while I worked there including the time I accidently shut down the entire station. That was a very low point. But somehow I survived. I never made it to the big time of professional radio, but believe me I had lots of fun in the process.

One of the DJ’s tricks, was to put on a 10-15 minute song so you could make a cup of coffee or do some planning for the rest of the show.

What follows is a live cut from one of my mainstay artists, Neil Young.. This particular recording is from the archives of the great music promoter, Bill Graham. The archives are contained in Wolfgang’s Vault, an incredible music resource.

Hey, go make a cup of coffee or do some planning as you listen to one of my favorite songs of all time. The recording has a real garage band feel to it. That is part of its appeal…

These days a lot of my planning is how to increase the size of my list. I found a great resource for you.
