Fake Money Blog

This week we almost have a theme and I would like to give big thanks to everybody who put some effort to their submissions. However I don’t extend my thanks to those who for some reason decided to waste my time by submitting garbage (luckily recycling is the hip thing to do). Let me first show you what hidden money making secrets I got exposed this week from the mystic river of bottomless creed.

DISGUISE YOURSELF WITH A VEIL OF A PERSONA
I got two very similar posts submitted, the other one promotes Google Cash Detective with brutal one page long-copy sales letter. For those active enough readers, I give you a hint Biggest Firesale dot net. Funny thing in this flimsy internet marketing product site is that the make-belief person Jet Rose is different from the person that submitted the article. Furthermore the domain contact information is hidden so we probably have a systematic network of low quality and automated blogs here.

Then the other one, called International Listings, that tried to get in with an article about cheap wine… I just couldn’t believe that. I mean, one can become thirsty after long day out in the sun while visiting various properties, but is it that good a match? I don’t want to include real estate site with identity crisis to perfectly sane sales carnival.

AND NOW SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
The very best submission for this week’s sales stories carnival came from Bizlightenment. Article is about conscious business and especially about defining the term. Now this is good stuff for most salespeople as we tend to be rather single-minded in our drive to get those deals - never mind the consequences. This article is a specially good read for small business runners, because small ship is easy to turn around and head towards high-paying premium customers. Ultimately the purpose of conscious business practices is to make a difference in this world.

A runner-up article by Erick Simpson from MSP University focuses on sales efficiency. Fascinating article, but slightly technical so it has to settle for second position. Mr. Simpson’s main reasoning goes so that working in one segment of industry is beneficial in sales, because of meaningful closeness. Now meaningful closeness is a term that I use, but it doesn’t change Mr. Simpson’s idea. Focusing on vertical segment of value-chain will generate you focused referrals with problems that are familiar to you. Working on horizontal of the value-chain would still generate referrals, but their problems would be mixed and solving them would be difficult.

Two sisters made their moves and submitted articles about copywriting, which is a very difficult skill to master. In internet copywriting is the sales or at least big part of it. In traditional business copywriting is just a tool to assist salespeople to get in contact with prospects. Superficial as I am, these sisters are very good looking, I trust no more convincing is needed. Head over here and here.

Final enterprising person seems legit so I’ll include the post. However I fail to see the connection to sales, but if you have a need for give-away products, this system might be just what you are looking for.
