The Shakopee Home Show provides homeowners with a plethora of home-improvement professionals for them to meet in person.
Just like the Home and Garden Show in Minneapolis, there is a Home Show in Shakopee where you can meet businesses that provide windows, doors, siding, kitchen cabinets, landscaping and the list goes on.
I have been in the Event Business pretty much all my life. I was very active in the trade your business in the late 80s and into the 90s.
I remember when Rick Martinek first started asking me to do tradeshows with him. We initially started with the Midwest Health and Wellness Expo and the Woman’s Health and Wellness Expo.
After those shows, I took a little break and went out to California to produce martial arts Events.
Then when I came back to Minneapolis, Rick and I got together and started MediaMAX Events and Expos and branded The Expo Guys as well.
Let’s face it, artificial intelligence is being used in a variety of ways to streamline, automated and accelerate processes.
Why not in sports?
Perhaps NFL predictions for which teams will win, are going to be generated using artificial intelligence. Maybe the designing of a play, will use artificial intelligence to analyze the situation is on the field in real time, and there will no longer be need for a coach to oversee the place.
We can already see that the national football league is using technology for telecasting the programs. Why would they not use technology to help the games be more competitive. All of the players could be wired up to computers to track their heart rate and temperature and oxygen intake etc. This data can be used to decide whether a specific player is going to burn out or make a mistake in real time on the field.
So then, how could an affiliate marketer capitalize on this data and information to perhaps sell more products and services and make more money?
Maybe they will also use artificial intelligence to learn about which team is going to go to the Super Bowl.
And an affiliate marketer, can get ahead of the game and start promoting products and services that are designed around the Super Bowl winning team.
It may take some fun out of the game, but it could increase our bank accounts, so we can take more time to be with friends and family, and maybe do more travel and enjoy life.
With the unpredictability of air travel, passengers are now checking American Airlines check flight status multiple times during the day to make sure that nothing has changed.
Will you miss your flight?
In the past, it was basically mechanical problems or the weather that would delay flights.
Nowadays, it can be much more than the weather, or a mechanical problem. There could be terrorist issues at the airport. Or maybe just some wacko is in the area causing trouble.
I have always wanted to get to the airport early, and get to the gate early. Because I run my business and my income producing activities from my phone, I can get some work done, wherever I am planted.
However, to be completely open and honest, I have not been on an airline flight, or even in the airport for a couple years, due to this crazy pandemic thingy.
On the note of creating passive income online, if you’re interested I would love to have a conversation to explore some ideas with you.
I have been self-employed most all my life. In fact in the 70s, 80s and 90s I was a full-time performing Magician here in Minneapolis Minnesota.
I believe that there are a lot of Magicians that would love to make magic their full-time occupation. But do they have an entertainment business plan in place?
When I was full-time, there was no Internet. These days with the Internet, there are a plethora of opportunities for an entertainer to earn money. They don’t need to rely totally on their performance income to make a living. There are so many other side hustle ideas that you can do as a professional entertainer.
Affiliate Marketing is one of these side hustle gigs you can do in addition to your stage performance.
If you are not familiar with what affiliate marketing is, there is a program called Legendary Marketer that will teach you the basics of how to be an affiliate marketer.
It is my opinion, that the fastest way to success is to collaborate with others that have a common goal. This is why I have developed a cooperative promotional program to help others learn the basics of affiliate marketing.
In the video below, I discuss some of these things with my friend Nathan Simpson. He is also an affiliate marketer and helping people with their side hustle gigs to earn passive income.
Looking for part time jobs can be very draining on your soul. Applying for jobs is a grueling process.
A part-time job certainly can bring in a few dollars that are needed to pay rent and buy food, but it also steals time from you. What if it was possible to have a part-time job, and then a side hustle that you are passionate about that brings in just as much money or even more?
Affiliate Marketing, is the best model in my opinion. It allows for a lot of time saved. Because with affiliate marketing you do not need to create products, or warehouse products, and do not need to fulfill products or deal with returns.
With affiliate marketing, all you need to do is promote a product or service to a prospective customer.
Affiliate and Marketing is as simple as recommending a restaurant or a movie. When someone buys the product through your unique tracking link, you earn a commission. Simple as that.
I have developed a system that allows Affiliate Marketers to Collaborate and generate leads that will result in sales.
Are you paranoid about a mini GPS tracking chip that is following you?
I admit, I intentionally put the word “shocking” in the title, as a click bait technique to make a point.
Words are used to attract attention. And when you are attracted to a specific word that is the first step in a strategy and technique to get you closer to a decision.
Most people over complicate things. As an example the idea of having a microchip in bedded or injected into a human being is not only unnecessary, but impractical.
If there was some big organization that wanted to track your every move, they would not need to embed a chip inside. They could simply put a tracking chip on something that you carry around all the time, like a cell phone. Or like a pair of air Jordans or Nikes or Adidas.
Or a tracking chip could be put in the brim of a baseball cap. It could be inserted into a Starbucks coffee cup. A chip could be in the cardboard box of cornflakes.
when a consumer purchased these products, it will give plenty of information for the conspiracy to track and act on whatever they choose.
Excuse me, I think I’m getting bad reception. Let me takeoff my tinfoil hat.
They are, that’s much better.
The truth is, we are all being manipulated by the information that we take in.
if what you are reading right now, is of interest, then you are still reading. If it is not of interest, you probably did not even read this line, because you left a while ago.
Marketers use technology and psychology all the time, to persuade consumers into purchasing products and services.
This is exactly what I am doing now. I am about to introduce you to a piece of software that I use to send postcards, greeting cards and personalized gifts through the United States Postal Service.
this software is called MailBoxPower, and I call this my MagicMarketingTool, because of the features inside that allow you to build mailing lists, do automated campaigns, and the print merge function that allows you to personalize gifts with laser engraved fonts.
If you have an interest in marketing, and making money on the Internet, I welcome you to reach out and connect, and we can have a conversation and explore ideas.
In this VIDEO I talk with my friend Brian about technology and the tracking that goes on in this vast universe we called the Internet.
Just because you have used golf clubs does not mean that you are a bad golfer.
It has been said that golf is more of a mental game, then it is a physical game. But I think it does matter what type of clubs you are using. However, even if they are used, they can still work very well for you. Unless, you are letting the fact that they are used golf clubs get in the way of your mental game.
I am not a big golfer, however I have been going to the TopGolf in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota with my friend Rick “the expo guy” Martinek recently.
We go there, and hit a few balls, and reminisce about when we were top of our game in the Exposition Management business. We started MediaMAX Events and Expos together back in 2004.
it was a good run. But now Rick is fully retired, and I don’t have the passion or energy much anymore to produce over 10 shows a year.
I do still like the Tradeshow Business, mostly because I believe that in person marketing will quantum leap over most other methods of marketing and business. However in these days of these pandemic issues, the event industry has suffered immensely.
This is why a lot of my business practices have gone to online processes, and specifically in the model of affiliate marketing.
If you are not familiar with Affiliate Marketing, I will summarize it for you.
Affiliate Marketing is simply being the middleman and earning a commission when a sale is made.
You promote product offers to prospective customers, and when they make a purchase, you earn a percentage commission on that product or service.
simple as that.
One of the products that I promote is called MailBoxPower, and it is a software to send postcards, greeting cards and personalized gifts to the United States Postal Service. I called this my Magic Marketing Tool because of the features inside that make things easy and automatic.
