10 Steps to Getting Paid for Your Marketing Materials
by: Paulette Ensign
How many times have you heard the same sound bites
come out of your mouth to your clients, prospects, and
audiences, almost boring yourself to tears in the
process? Imagine generating money directly from those
sound bites, from those pearls of wisdom that
effortlessly trip off your tongue. Yes, it is completely
possible, and here’s how to do it.
- Capture those tidbits of information as soon as
they come to mind. Jot them down in a notebook or get
them into a Word document. They can be in a raw
format, with just enough information to jog your
thinking about what you mean. There will be time to
refine them later.
- Let a couple weeks go by, allowing most of the
information to surface in your thoughts. It rarely
happens by declaring two hours on a Thursday afternoon
to sit at your computer to think of it all.
- Refine and organize the tips. Divide them into
categories and edit the text. Use a writing style
similar to what you are reading here.
- Be sure to include your contact details so readers
can easily reach you. Add a brief section about your
background so people will know your qualifications for
presenting the information.
- Hire a graphic designer to make the words look
good on the page. Your completed product will be a
tips booklet measuring about 3 ½ inches by 8 ½ inches
when printed. The designer will create their part of
the finished product as a PDF file.
- Send the PDF file from your graphic designer to a
printing company. Do an initial print run of 1,000
copies.
- Think about who can benefit from using your
booklet to promote their own product, service, or
cause. Send them a sample of your booklet and a cover
letter describing some of the ways they can increase
their sales or further their cause by using your
booklet as a promotional tool.
- Consider corporations, associations, publications,
and any other group that seems appropriate for the
topic of your booklet. Reach out to as many of them as
you can, on whatever budget of time and money you have
available to you.
- Realize that every time one of the large-quantity
buyers sends out your booklet to promote their own
product, service, or cause, they are also marketing
your business. Your contact information in the booklet
allows the reader to reach you directly.
- Enjoy the expansion of your customer base and your
checking account. You are now reaching a larger
audience than you are likely to do single-handedly,
thanks to the large-quantity buyers of your booklet.
And you have been paid by your buyers to reach those
new people.
Those sound bites you have been saying for years are
now reaching far beyond your current clients, helping
your buyers, their clients, and your own business. It
doesn’t get a lot better than getting paid for your
marketing materials.
