Gets OTHER PEOPLE to pay for all your traffic

I'm not one to sit around with my thumb up my butt...

When I want something...

I find a way to get it.

When I was broke...

Getting started as an affiliate marketer...

I didn't have $100s a day I could spray and pray on ads.

I loved me some SEO...

But damn it could be slow.

Ya know?

But something I learned in selling ads to restaurants and 'brick and mortar' applied directly online.

I could EASILY get other businesses to pay for my ads.

I could even make a handsome profit.

The first time I started doing this was when I was an affiliate for Dish Network.

I'd work deals with pizza places and restaurants.

The deal was irresistible to them.

Let me pay to print your carryout menus.

The catch?

I place my ad on their menu.

Everyone said "YES"...

But...

The problemo?

I had way more "yesses" than cash to print menus.

Did I let that stop me?

Hellz no.

I went to the businesses around the restaurant and sold 2 or 3 ads to THEM.

Which covered my printing costs...and then some...

And my ads rode for free!

Ride baby ride!

The advertisers loved it because it was super cheap and they could reach 5,000 people for $100 or $200 bucks.

It was "petty cash" to them.

And me?

I did very well.

I sweatergawd I was making more profit from my Dish commissions than the restaurant owners were making from slaving away in their BBQ joint for 12 hours a day.

Now...

Turns out...

In the brick-and-mortar world, this is called an AD CO-OP.

Where several businesses get together and buy ads together to get far better reach for a fraction what they'd pay if they paid for the ad on their own.

Problem is...

Nobody wants to set them up, 😁.

(BTW: There are peeps making nice livings setting up postcard co-ops where it may cost $4500 to print and mail 10,000, but they go sell 10 or 20 ads for $500 to $1k a pop and bank $5k to $15k. Getting in the MAILBOX of 10,000 folks for $500 is RADICALLY CHEAP.)

But...

Nobody was doing this ONLINE in 2004...

And I don't know of many folks doing ONLINE CO-OPS in 2024!

Online co-ops kicked ass for me.

I'd set up an ad or banner buy (using Shogun Traffic Method) and use a "rotator" to switch between landing pages.

I'd get 2 or 3 folks to co-op with me.

If you position it correctly and don't "sell the deal as an ad," it was an ez yes.

PLUS...I was getting the ads way cheaper than they were paying.

So it made financial sense.

I'd rotate the traffic between 3 or 4 landing pages which one of them was MINE, but didn't have to pay for!

I rode free.

Ride baby ride!

It's a win-win for everyone in the co-op.

During our Serve No Master event in Little Rock...

I talked quite a bit about turning EXPENSES into PROFIT CENTERS...

Yet, I ran out of time to go into more detail on how to set up AD Co-ops and ride baby ride deals...

👍This works great with Shogun Traffic Method.

👍This works SUPER great in Direct Mail. (I'm going to set up some post-card co-ops in 2025.)

👍This works great for running traffic to SAAS/AI affiliate offers. How much RECURRING COMMISSIONS could you make if you didn't have to pay for ads?

Now...

The SNM 100 hit the 100 spots...

But...

Would you like me to go deeper into how to produce income streams and get free traffic setting up AD Co-ops?

This may be good news for you if...

You're already in SNM 100
If you're not in SNM 100 😁

✅If you're already in...

Tap the poll option below. If I get enough interest, I will include "Ride-Baby-Ride Co-ops" as an unannounced bonus - you won't have to do anything else to get it. 👌

✅If you didn't make it into the first 100...

It's still good news!

Here's why...

You can still get the Serve No Master recordings, manual, transcripts, Shogun Traffic Method AND the RECORDINGS to the 3-Day One Best Investment Fun-shop. (The good news is you don't need to attend live and can fast forward, LOL)

PLUS, the "Ride Baby Ride Co-ops," too.

Tap the poll option that suits you below: Then

@Ryan Flood

@David Mcalorum

I'm already SNM 100, please include Ride-Baby-Ride Co-ops as a BONUS! 👍

I'm already in SNM 100, but Co-ops sound idiotic. 👎

This puts me over the edge! Gimme the SNM package + Ride-Baby-Ride Co-ops! 👍👍

Suck it Sago! 🖕
