<p><a href="http://ClickByClickHomeBusiness.com"><img class="alignright" style="margin: 5px;" title="Marketing Funnel Mastery by Mike Klingler Creator of Renegade  Professional" src="http://www.prlog.org/10667249-marketing-funnel-mastery-by-mike-klingler-creator-of-renegade-professional.jpg" alt="" width="246" height="115" /></a>Greetings from Hiro Kaneko.</p>
<p>I just attended an awesome webinar  last night hosted by Mike Klingler.</p>
<p>I was one of the lucky  ones to make it on there live as it was maxed out at 1000 participants  really fast.</p>
<p>it was a bit crazy to see GoToWebinar bugging  out like that from people trying to jump on after it reached max  capacity&#8230; more on that later&#8230;</p>
<p>*****************************<br />
But  first, a couple of important business items:</p>
<p>#1 &#8211; Mike&#8217;s new  &#8216;<strong>Marketing Funnel Mastery</strong>&#8216; course is going to be available for free  to all Renegade Professional members. If you already are a  member, congrats! enjoy the course as I am/will because this will  be a game changer!</p>
<p>Mike said that he will be re-recording  the entire presentation rather than do massive editing of last  night&#8217;s webinar. The recording should be available on thursday or friday.</p>
<p>#2  &#8211; For those who are not yet a member of Renegade Professional (or  don&#8217;t even know what it is), this is a perfect opportunity to take  advantage of Mike&#8217;s<br />
generous offer.</p>
<p>His &#8216;<strong>Marketing Funnel  Mastery</strong>&#8216; course will be sold for $997 after he closes the door  this Saturday evening.</p>
<p>as mentioned earlier, this entire  course is f.ree to all <a href="http://ClickByClickHomeBusiness.com"><strong>Renegade Professional</strong></a> members. Even without  this course, it&#8217;s a no-brainer for me, but with this, there&#8217;s  absolutely no excuse for you not to join if you really want to  make big things happen for you.</p>
<p>Find out more detail below:<br />
<strong>=&gt; <a href="http://ClickByClickHomeBusiness.com">http://ClickByClickHomeBusiness.com</a></strong></p>
<p>#3  &#8211; If you do join through my link, you&#8217;ll get 30 minutes of one on  one coaching with me. As you may already know, I am a member of  Coaching Cognition so you&#8217;ll get REAL coaching. You can be coached on  ANY topic you like during the session &#8211; internet marketing, attraction  marketing, any specific online marketing strategies, keyword  research&#8230; you name it&#8230; even tax strategies (which is what I did  for 15 years in corporate america where my hourly charge rate was  $972 per hour at the time I walked away =))</p>
<p>Just make sure  you join thru this link below:<br />
=&gt; <a href="http://ClickByClickHomeBusiness.com"><strong>http://ClickByClickHomeBusiness.com</strong></a><br />
and  forward your receipt to kaneko.hiro@gmail.com with the subject  line <strong>&#8220;Marketing Funnel Mastery BONUS&#8221;</strong> and I&#8217;ll get in touch with  you to schedule our coaching session.</p>
<p>***************************</p>
<p>Back  to what happened last night&#8230;</p>
<p>With a rush of thousands of people  trying to get on the webinar, it totally bugged out the  gotowebinar system.</p>
<p>Pop-up messages kept popping up Mike&#8217;s  screen every few seconds saying &#8220;You have exceeded 1001  participants and someone is trying to join. Please delete a  participant to allow them access.&#8221;</p>
<p>This is what happens even  with the leading webinar service on the market today. These pop up messages  literally interfered with Mike&#8217;s presentation and<br />
froze the  screenshots&#8230; that&#8217;s why Mike is re-recording the entire  presentation for us =)</p>
<p>But we kept going, and I understand  that 950 people (including myself) stayed thru the entire 2 hour  webinar.</p>
<p>Now, all I can say about what Mike shared last night  is WOW! I knew he would deliver in a big way, but I now truly believe  this &#8220;Marketing Funnel Mastery&#8221; course will revolutionize the  entire industry.</p>
<p>So, the re-recorded presentation should be up  for anyone to watch on thursday or friday. This will be free for  everyone, but only until Saturday evening.</p>
<p>Make sure you  watch the re-make if you didn&#8217;t get on last night cuz this is  surely a game changer.</p>
<p>Cheers,<br />

<p>If you&#8217;re considering OFFLINE marketing methods, you&#8217;ve got&#8230;</p>
<p><em>Direct Mails<br />
Postcards<br />
Conference Calls<br />
Teleseminars<br />
Radio<br />
Newspaper and Magazine ads<br />
Television<br />
Press Releases<br />
etc&#8230;</em></p>
<p>Or, if you&#8217;re considering ONLINE marketing methods, you&#8217;ve got&#8230;</p>
<p><em>Article marketing<br />
Video marketing<br />
Online Press Releases<br />
Blogging<br />
Forum marketing<br />
Ezine advertising<br />
Social Networking<br />
Website marketing<br />
Pay-Per-Click marketing<br />
etc.</em></p>
<p>As you can see, there are literally dozens and dozens of effective marketing strategies that can be used and implemented to help you get your message out and build your business.</p>
<p>But, with so many marketing strategies to choose from, you&#8217;re probably asking yourself,</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;How the heck do I decide which ones to focus on?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a great question, and one that I&#8217;ve also encountered when I got started. Do phrases like &#8216;<strong>information overload</strong>&#8216; and &#8216;<strong>lack of focus</strong>&#8216; sound familiar to you?</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s exactly how I felt when I got started. I was fortunate enough to be able to locate a great training platform that showed me all these options to choose from and I literally dabbled in every single one of them to see how things worked and which ones would give me results.</p>
<p>In a way, it was good to understand the different options out there because I can see the potentials in each and every one of them. But spreading myself too thin and trying to do everything mediocre did not bring in the results I wanted.</p>
<p>So, from personal experience, my suggestion for you is to choose one to three marketing methods and get really good at them, and <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">then and only then</span></em></strong> look into other options to diversify your marketing.</p>
<p>Here is a list of things I suggest you consider in choosing the marketing strategies you want to focus on:</p>
<p><strong>1) Identify your personal marketing budget.</strong></p>
<p>Basically, figuring out and deciding on how much money you can and are willing to spend on your marketing every month. If you decide that your budget is less than $100 per month, I highly suggest you focus on ONLINE marketing methods because OFFLINE methods generally cost more across the board. I would say a healthy OFFLINE marketing budget to be no less than $300 per moth.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>2) Identify how much TIME you have each week to </strong><strong>commit to your marketing efforts.</strong></p>
<p>This is another &#8216;budget&#8217; that you need to figure out and decide. If you have a full-time job and are building your business on a part-time basis, you certainly have less time to build your business compared to someone who&#8217;s doing it full-time. You&#8217;d also want to make sure you consider setting your &#8216;personal&#8217; or &#8216;fun&#8217; time that you may want to spend with your family, friends, on hobbies, rest/relaxing, etc.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a big proponent of work/life balance (I would even go so far as to say I create my business around my life instead of settling for a life around my business). Getting away from business and renewing yourself will also actually make you more productive and creative.</p>
<p><strong>3) Identify your strengths, abilities and passions.</strong></p>
<p>Ask yourself these simple questions:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;What am I good at?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;What do people around me tell me I&#8217;m good at?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;What do I enjoy doing?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;How do I best communicate my message with others?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;What would you consider doing even if it didn&#8217;t pay you anything?&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>4) Identify which marketing method(s) you feel will BEST attract and get in front of the niche target market?</strong></p>
<p>You should think about who your prospects are, the niche area you are in, which method(s) may be most likely to target/reach them effectively, etc.</p>
<p><strong>5) Consider the amount of leverage you want to work with.</strong></p>
<p>Different methods have varying degrees of leverage built in e.g. content creation (video, articles, etc.) can be done once and can potentially work for you 24/7, 365 for many years to come versus social networking which can be time consuming and requires consistent effort on your part.</p>
<p><strong>6) Consider the marketing trends and the amount of competing marketers using that method.</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s always good to keep the trends in mind because you want to be identifying where the best results are achieved (and hence the trend).</p>
<p>Another thing to consider is saturation. Is everybody trying to market using the same strategies? Can you realistically stand a chance to stand out from the crowd using the same marketing strategies?</p>
<p>So there you have it. My two cents on what to consider when deciding on which marketing strategies to focus on.</p>
<p>Remember to consider the above factors when deciding on which marketing strategies to focus on and you&#8217;ll be well on your way to mastering each marketing strategy, one at a time, and building a profitable business.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re considering OFFLINE marketing methods, you&#8217;ve got&#8230;</p>
<p><em>Direct Mails<br />

<p>Or, if you&#8217;re considering ONLINE marketing methods, you&#8217;ve got&#8230;</p>
<p><em>Article marketing<br />

etc.</em></p>
<p>As you can see, there are literally dozens and dozens of effective marketing strategies that can be used and implemented to help you get your message out and build your business.</p>
<p>But, with so many marketing strategies to choose from, you&#8217;re probably asking yourself,</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;How the heck do I decide which ones to focus on?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a great question, and one that I&#8217;ve also encountered when I got started. Do phrases like &#8216;<strong>information overload</strong>&#8216; and &#8216;<strong>lack of focus</strong>&#8216; sound familiar to you?</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s exactly how I felt when I got started. I was fortunate enough to be able to locate a great training platform that showed me all these options to choose from and I literally dabbled in every single one of them to see how things worked and which ones would give me results.</p>
<p>In a way, it was good to understand the different options out there because I can see the potentials in each and every one of them. But spreading myself too thin and trying to do everything mediocre did not bring in the results I wanted.</p>
<p>So, from personal experience, my suggestion for you is to choose one to three marketing methods and get really good at them, and <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">then and only then</span></em></strong> look into other options to diversify your marketing.</p>
<p>Here is a list of things I suggest you consider in choosing the marketing strategies you want to focus on:</p>
<p><strong>1) Identify your personal marketing budget.</strong></p>
<p>Basically, figuring out and deciding on how much money you can and are willing to spend on your marketing every month. If you decide that your budget is less than $100 per month, I highly suggest you focus on ONLINE marketing methods because OFFLINE methods generally cost more across the board. I would say a healthy OFFLINE marketing budget to be no less than $300 per moth.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>2) Identify how much TIME you have each week to </strong><strong>commit to your marketing efforts.</strong></p>
<p>This is another &#8216;budget&#8217; that you need to figure out and decide. If you have a full-time job and are building your business on a part-time basis, you certainly have less time to build your business compared to someone who&#8217;s doing it full-time. You&#8217;d also want to make sure you consider setting your &#8216;personal&#8217; or &#8216;fun&#8217; time that you may want to spend with your family, friends, on hobbies, rest/relaxing, etc.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a big proponent of work/life balance (I would even go so far as to say I create my business around my life instead of settling for a life around my business). Getting away from business and renewing yourself will also actually make you more productive and creative.</p>
<p><strong>3) Identify your strengths, abilities and passions.</strong></p>
<p>Ask yourself these simple questions:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;What am I good at?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;What do people around me tell me I&#8217;m good at?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;What do I enjoy doing?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;How do I best communicate my message with others?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;What would you consider doing even if it didn&#8217;t pay you anything?&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>4) Identify which marketing method(s) you feel will BEST attract and get in front of the niche target market?</strong></p>
<p>You should think about who your prospects are, the niche area you are in, which method(s) may be most likely to target/reach them effectively, etc.</p>
<p><strong>5) Consider the amount of leverage you want to work with.</strong></p>
<p>Different methods have varying degrees of leverage built in e.g. content creation (video, articles, etc.) can be done once and can potentially work for you 24/7, 365 for many years to come versus social networking which can be time consuming and requires consistent effort on your part.</p>
<p><strong>6) Consider the marketing trends and the amount of competing marketers using that method.</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s always good to keep the trends in mind because you want to be identifying where the best results are achieved (and hence the trend).</p>
<p>Another thing to consider is saturation. Is everybody trying to market using the same strategies? Can you realistically stand a chance to stand out from the crowd using the same marketing strategies?</p>
<p>So there you have it. My two cents on what to consider when deciding on which marketing strategies to focus on.</p>
<p>Remember to consider the above factors when deciding on which marketing strategies to focus on and you&#8217;ll be well on your way to mastering each marketing strategy, one at a time, and building a profitable business.</p>
