I DO have a video for this ‘way to make money online’. However, I require at least *10 requests for this video before editing and delivering.
The Story:
I had been receiving lots of calls for meet ups and consultations, and while it was taking me away from my regular ‘work load’, seeing possibilities where others usually do not.. well its just soul food for me.
Another day, another call, another meeting at the Coffee Bean.
However, what happened next took me by surprise!
A local marketer invites me to meet with him, and I assumed the regular position. I am ready to be pitched an idea, a problem, a thought, anything, and am fully prepared to smooth it out, make it real, add my 2 cents, solve his problems, and most certainly, MOST CERTAINLY, not hear something new.
This may sound like an overreaction, but the room started closing in on me, my heart started racing. It was due to BOTH the power of the idea (in some ways so darn OBVIOUS and UBIQUITOUS) and the fact that it was not (until then) something I would have suggested myself. How dare he!!
How many times do you see Celebrities walking around in Nike Apparel? Endorsing any number of events or products in commercials?
heck, I get major Oakley and Nike hook ups due to my brothers’ relationships.
Now:

Imagine taking YOUR Product.
(Yes, YOU who sells physical goods, or as a consultant you can offer this to your client/s)
Approaching An Online Marketer who knows how to Promote
Offering them to SELF BRAND the Product, enabling the marketer to even suggest a product and attach their name/brand to something physical. What an Ego Trip! (yes, it worked for me being the marketer who was approached - Ego was back in check.)
Look around at all the online hotshots. 1000’s of followers, subscribers. Buzz. Exposure. In their respective fields, they have become household names.
Think Mutually Beneficial Relationship.
You offer to provide them with whatever shwag you are producing (cups, t-shirts, stationary, office supplies, etc etc). You continue as you always have with offering the fulfillment of the items. Would this work for a service as well? Why the heck not??
Here are the benefits: br> br> br>
(figure out a %age deal that works for you)
to be ’sponsored’ privately
both parties.
Thank you Ezra Butler for teaching me, enlightening me, approaching me, and finding me a marketer worth the value of her own brand!

Sounds a bit like reverse-franchising(?) I admit the IM world is a little opaque to me.

Very interesting post/idea Andrea.
And my request for your video… you know I love your videos!

George,
MAYBE her votes would count if she could figure out how to actually leave the comment on the blog. An email request doesn’t cut it for me.
Andrea (November 2nd, 2008 at 9:03 am )
Kenneth,
So nice of you to take time out of your illustrious career and shower some love on somebody else! Was not expecting to check you out on twitter and see that you have a HUGE fan club already.
I am most definitely part of it now

GEORGE!!!!!
CHEAP SHOT, but sooooooooooooo impressed. Thats an extra vote for you.

George (November 3rd, 2008 at 10:54 am )
What fine print? Did I miss something?
Alan from Scotland (November 5th, 2008 at 3:08 pm )
I saw one of your videos on youtube and it brought me to your blog!
Thanks for the advice, there are tons of things here. The information you mention about getting products re-branded and getting in touch with internet marketers. Do you know if there is a website where the two can meet. I’d love to get registered if there is.
Thanks

I would love to see the video! Do I need to make a formal request or is this comment good?
Jeff Fenske (November 11th, 2008 at 11:31 pm )
Hello Andrea,
I found your blog because of your testimonial for Project Archmides and after seeing your picture had to check out your online presence. I ended up watching some of your videos where you were attempting to be a finalist with Joel Comm’s contest, ‘Internet Millionaire’ and then checked further to discover you weren’t a winner. I watched a few videos of the ‘winners’ and quickly realized they had made a mistake in not picking you. Whatever you do, you will be successful and I say that based on the wit you have as a writer and your determination, not to mention the fact that you had the courage and strength to compete in the first place, and, hey, your looks don’t hurt either. I look forward to hearing more about you in the future. Jeff

OK A,
You have captured something in me, a weird alignment of sorts. Maybe cause I know my mom is my biggest fan (thank you Mom), maybe it’s the truth, maybe its because everything happens for a reason, maybe its juts the way it is and I am present. Love to see your vid, and based on even more info I have read today, I would be honored for you to share your story through a medium well known with a delivery yet to be achieved. Not sure why considering it is so simple.Thanks Andrea

I am a few comments behind!
Alan,
There are internet marketers that do re-branding on a more professional level. I don’t have any names offhand, but recommend you start asking around on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com) .. it wont take long to hook you up. If you are new to Twitter, so sign up, follow me (http://www.twitter.com/andreayager) and I will ask for you

Jeff,
I hope you come back so you can read this response. It wont be as fancy and thorough as yours, but it comes from my heart! This is definitely one of the FINEST COMMENTS I have ever received, and as is typical for good things in life… it came at the right time. :). Thanks to people like you, I plan to continue in the path of courage, wit, and determination!
- be well, Andrea

Jayson,
Hi! You have captured something in me too - curiousity! Explain more what you are talking about

Hi Andrea,
I did come back to read your comment and am really glad that it came at the right time for you. God has a way of bringing us messages or ‘coincidences’ just when you need them the most. It makes me feel as good as it may have felt for you knowing it came at ‘the right time’. Anyway, I’m intrigued by you and what you have created so far and will keep checking in to watch firsthand, your success. BTW; I’m the youngest of four children, so I know the chaos of what it must be like for you raising four children, (chaos at times; obviously, not always) which further supports my belief about your abilities and innate qualities to juggle many things and still present this ‘together’ image. You are unique and are able to share that uniqueness in a way that others, beside me, find interesting. Consider this as one of your ‘*10 requests for this video before editing and delivering’. God bless, JeffPS: I had to look up ‘shwag’. I thought it was some Yiddish term, seeing that you’re in Jerusalem, but I was wrong…
