How I used my subscription to Twin Cities Business Journal to build a Top 100 list.

I remember back in the 90s when I had an office at International Market Square, and I would use my subscription to the Twin Cities Business Journal to build a list of the Twin Cities top corporations.

Every week, I would get my subscription, and there was a full page listing of the top corporations in specific industries.

I would use this list, to build a mailing list of only the top 100. My list consisted of corporations such as General Mills, Pillsbury, Medtronic, 3M, Honeywell, Best Buy, Target Corporation and the list went on and on.

Still to this day, these are the corporations that I invite to the Minnesota Event Expo held each year in March.

SEE: MinnesotaEventExpo.com

Granted, the Internet has made these corporations available to most anyone with Internet connection. However most people get overwhelmed with the plethora of other businesses online, and neglect targeting these top 100.

I know this happens to me. However I try and stay focused as much as I possibly can with the barrage of information coming at me daily.

Even during this pandemic, there is a plethora of events happening throughout the cities.

I have created an organization of business owners to collaborate and help each other raise ranks and exposure on the Internet. I called this organization the Synergy Collaborative and even though it is decentralized and does not actually have a website, we are growing.

My simple answer to the question, what is affiliate online marketing?

Sometimes when I attend Networking Events, people inevitably ask… what do you do?

I answer the question with a question, and say are you familiar with Affiliate Marketing?

They say… No, what is affiliate online marketing MagicBrad?

As usual, people over complicate things. They are not sure what marketing is, and they don’t know what an affiliate is.

Basically Affiliate Marketing is similar to being a broker, or a middleman and you earn a commission from promoting a product or service.

Simple as that.

One of the products that I promote, is also a product that I use called MailBoxPower. I call it my Magic Marketing Tool because it has many features that you do not see. Just like a magician would do an effect, that looks like something normal, there is a lot going on in the background. But the basic essence is simple.

SEE MagicMarketingTool.com

If you do not already know, MailBoxPower  is a software platform that uses the United States Postal Service to send postcards, greeting cards and personalized gifts.

I use this platform, to promote my clients and customers and exhibitors that are in the Minnesota Event Planners Expo. They are members of the Synergy Collaborative which provides them the service of ongoing promotion via the Internet, as well as opportunities to meet their ideal clients at live in person events.

By the way, if you have any interest in any of the things you see me doing online, please feel free to contact me with any questions, ideas, comments or suggestions.

Make life magical.

How to make side income projects More Profitable and Recurring

I would like to share with you some ideas on how to make side income projects more profitable, and bring recurring income month after month.

The essence of what I am talking about, is subscription-based products and services.

Selling a product or service online, is not easy. The reason, in my opinion, is the Internet is very saturated, and people online are very distracted. Therefore it is difficult to get your product in front of these people long enough for them to make an educated decision.

Now, when you do make a sale, you want it to either have a large profit margin, or a recurring ongoing income stream.

One of the products I promote is called MailBoxPower, and I call it my Magic Marketing Tool and use it for sending postcards, greeting cards and gift of appreciation.

MagicMarketingTool.com

The advantage with using the United States Postal Service to deliver physical items to your customers and prospects, is the longevity of the existence of this physical item.

Some of the features I really like with this platform, is it has a database inside, where you can purchase leads. They can be selected by geographic and demographic classifications.

Also the ability to automate the process so you are not constantly needing to be active working. You can set it and forget it and let it work passively.

There is also a print merge feature, so you can personalize these items to each individual. This means even if you are sending out 100 items, each individual item is graphically personalized to the specific individual.

For these reasons, I call this my Magic Marketing Tool and use it often.

My friend Bo Young and I talk about it in this video. Bo is also a member of the Synergy Collaborative by the way.

A simple way to make money online now started in Minneapolis Minnesota

Would you like to learn how to make money online now from a Minneapolis magician?

Hi! My name is Brad, and I go by the name “MagicBrad” so I can be branded and recognized. (You are here, so, it’s working.)

I have been self-employed most of my life. And I’ve been online pretty much since the inception of Netscape.

The easiest way I found to make money online, is what is called “affiliate marketing”. Don’t let the name confuse you with other methods. Affiliate Marketing is simply being the middleman  between a product and a customer. Do you have a designated tracking link that you promote for each product. When a sale is made, you earn a commission.

Yes, it is that simple.

One of the platforms that I use, is the Wealthy Affiliate program. Not so much for the education, but for the simplicity of building out websites.

Another platform I use is called MailBoxPower and I not only use this as a marketer, I am also an affiliate and promote the Platform to earn monthly recurring commissions.

I call this my Magic MarketingTool, because it has very powerful features that are beneficial to a person as a marketer.

MagicMarketingTool.com CLICK

The MailBoxPower platform allows me to send direct mail postcards, greeting cards and gifts to my prospective customers and existing clients.

I have founded and built the Synergy Collaborative to help those interested in making money online a little bit easier. We collaborate with each other increasing the traffic to our office which results in more sales and efficiency.

If you have any interest in learning how to make money online, please feel free to connect. It does not need to be in any of my industries of choice. You could make money with most any passion or interest. Flyfishing, mountain biking, motorcycles, the list is endless.
