A Lesson in "Thinking Outside the Box" Marketing

By Denise Hall (c) 2008


We all know the economy stinks right now. A majority of people don't have money to spend on very much besides the bare necessities. As a result, they're looking for ways to earn extra money to keep themselves afloat.

More and more people are turning to the Internet every day in hopes of making that extra cash, but for new marketers, and especially those who are desperate for financial relief now, the money might not come fast enough.

Learning to market online involves a learning curve that causes most people to spend a year or more testing the waters before seeing any significant money for their efforts.

But many successful marketers have become successful just by "thinking outside the box." They did something different from what everyone else was doing and it was well-received by their target market and very profitable.

Such is the case with a young man I spoke to on the phone the other day. He wasn't really even known in the Internet Marketing arena until now, yet he just launched a product that's been very profitable - to the tune of 1,000+ sales and more than $57,000 gross profit at the time of this writing!

This guy didn't jump online and try to make money the same way everyone else does by selling information products or even physical products. He actually builds websites that are highly ranked in the search engines for his local offline business owners.

But then one day he set his mind to "think outside the box mode" and created a whole new type of product - a unique way to market his websites so he can make more sales.

And instead of selling "the same old stuff" as other people (a.k.a. an ebook explaining how to do what he does), he produced a marketing kit for Internet Marketers to sell his websites to offline businesses.

If you think about it, this concept is similar to some large offline corporations and it works well.

For instance, I can think of several companies right off the top of my head that provide their representatives with postcards, party invitations, business cards, and product samples. All the representatives have to do is hand out or mail their marketing materials and they get sales.

By thinking outside the box, this relatively unknown marketer created something other Internet Marketers hadn't seen before and it's been a huge success!

But, as you can see by the similarity to some offline companies, he didn't completely reinvent the wheel. He just tweaked it a little and adapted it to Internet Marketers, and had a whole new target market to sell to.

Of course, he'll reach his goal of selling more of his top ranked websites to offline businesses, too... all because of his ability to "think outside the box."

And in my opinion, his product couldn't have come at a better time for those in need extra income in this tough economy. The marketing kit doesn't require any computer skills, marketing experience, or that infamous Internet Marketing learning curve either.
