Micro-Podcasting

September 26th, 2011

I am in Jamaica now and enjoying some warm tropical beaches. I return home in 10 days.

An amazing thing happened yesterday. I met the organizer of a group of dentists who come to Jamaica annually to donate their time to work on Jamaican children. Over 250 dentists are spending 2 months here.

I am meeting the organizer Wednesday. He is excited to see if we can turn these dentists into podcasting machines as well.

I am calling it “Micro-Podcasting”, after Micro-Lending. Micro-Lending is a system where (usually) women in developing countries are given a small loan to start a business. Over 97% of these loans are repaid.

With Micro-Podcasting, we train each dentist (in this case) to share their experiences in Jamaica. The dentist lets their patients back home know about their ‘show’.

If each dentist was able to have 500 patients listen in out of say 3000 patients and we got 10% to donate $13 for a child’s school uniform, well the math looks like this:

250 dentists X 500 patients X 10% X $13 = $163,500 raised to send 12,500 children to school.

The concept here is kind of the opposite of traditional Internet Marketing, where we try to get 1,000′s of people all by ourselves. here we work to leverage people’s existing networks – in this case, the dentist’s patients.

So benefits:

Obviously for the children, they get to go to school.
The charitable organization achieves its goals faster.
The dentists feel good about the extra benefits they bring the children. They also get great publicity back home and goodwill with their patients.
I get to come to Sandals and train Dentists to make a difference :^)

This may end up being the first major project of the Southern Podcasters Foundation

Copywriting and more…

May 25th, 2011

What pushes your customers’ Hot Buttons? Makes them throw their credit cards at you in a desperate attempt to get their hands on your book, product or service as fast as they can?

Most product producers have absolutely no idea.

And any ideas they do have are usually wrong, or only half formed.
Success in any endeavor is partly Art, partly Science. Applied in the correct proportions, you create Magic backed with the power of Scientific Innovation.

Our copywriters have studied the art and science of writing for decades, pulled apart top ads from the 1920’s to today. They have worked with the top copywriters on the past 10 years.

And now? Are considered some of today’s best, most successful copywriters.

And they do it without making you sound like a Used Car Salesman (unless you ARE a Used Car Salesman).

Now let’s get to some specifics…

A British Optometrist in Bristol sold 3 pairs of spectacles via his website in 2 years of trying. After a month of reworking his site and add some copy magic, he sold over 50,000 British Pounds his first month (that’s about $81,000!). Within a year he had opened up two new warehouses and averaged 70,000 British Pounds a month.

A software programmer approached us to write a sales letter for his newest program. His previous (self-written) copy sold $5000 its first week.

He was a little shocked and awed when our sales letter brought in $136,396 in 3 days.

Here’s what he wrote me recently:

“I have just read the draft of the latest copy you sent me. I thought long and hard before I wrote this email – I would really prefer to lock you down, have you write copy for no-one but me, and never have your name uttered, except behind locked doors.

“With every piece of copy that you do for me, I think “WOW, that’s superb – Scott’s best work yet”

“AND, then the next one turns up – and it’s even better still!! In my honest opinion, you are one of the best copywriters around today, and I feel very privileged to have you working with me on my projects.”

We live in a world that doesn’t stand still. Yesterday’s success is today’s failure. Constant improvement is the norm now and we live by it.

It used to be: the job was writing 50 page sales letters. Today that might be the job… Or it could be writing a video sales script. Or Facebook Ads. Or an email marketing campaign. Or a sizzling Press Release.

It is no longer: One Size Fits All.

We know you could get a 1987 Honda Civic… but we think you’d prefer the 2011 state-of-the-art, super-green Jaguar Project C-X75.

We aren’t going to say that most writers today are like Honda Civics from 1987, but we will say our sales letters are top-of-the-line, high performance machines that hum along at the speed of ‘Ka-ching’.

And once you work with us, you will, too!

iPhone App growth in 2010

January 11th, 2011

iPhone apps grew the most in 2010 in terms of the number of applications in the United States, says the latest yearly report by app store analytics firm Distimo. The report covers Apple App Store for iPad and iPhone, Google Android Market, BlackBerry App World, Palm App Catalog, Nokia Ovi Store, Windows Marketplace for Mobile (6.x), and Windows Phone 7 Marketplace for the year 2010.

Highlights of the report include:

* Apple grew the most last year in terms of the number of apps in the United States, Android and BlackBerry showed higher percentage growth, which you would expect as they started from a lower base.

* The top 300 free applications had more than 3 million downloads every day in December 2010, while only 350,000 paid applications were downloaded each day. The high free download figures are leading developers to switch to in-App money making strategies versus sales of their Apps.

* The revenue share generated by in-app purchases from the top free apps more than doubled for both the iPhone and iPad. However, the revenue share generated by in-app purchases from free applications is lower on iPad at 15% versus 34% on iPhones.

CES highlights

January 11th, 2011

Expect the next iPad version 2 in February 2011.

Slick touchscreen tablet computers and smarter devices for the home and the car took center stage as the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) wrapped up on Sunday.

The always connected lifestyle was on full display at the annual gadget extravaganza as Internet technology ruled at a show traditionally dominated by eye-popping new television sets.

Tablet computers to rival Apple’s iPad were the hot new products on display along with powerful new smartphones, ultra-thin laptops and Web-connected and 3-D TV sets during the four-day event.

“The tablet wars are now launched, with everybody under the sun producing tablets,” said Endpoint Technologies Associates analyst Roger Kay.

“A lot of companies, particularly Asian companies, are offering to create tablets for you on the fly if you want a tablet with your brand on it.”

Emphasis on mobile gizmos and making traditionally dumb devices smart with Internet connections made CES celebrities out of chip makers Intel, AMD, and Nvidia as well as US telecom carriers Verizon and AT&T.

Rival chip makers showed off fast new processors combining graphics and traditional computing power.

“What that means is a lot more connected stuff,” analyst Rob Enderle of Enderle Group in Silicon Valley said of the chip announcements at CES. “Everything thinner, lighter, more powerful and more intelligent.”
