The WhoIs Technnique!
Just wanted to show everyone a unique approach to promoting Wealthy Affiliate for Free.
Who is the target audience for Wealthy Affiliate. Well, it is quite large...it is everyone that either wants to earn more money, wants to create a business, or EXPAND their existing business. This includes just about everyone in the world, so I am going to focus on the last technique.
What is the best way to find someone that has a business or plans on starting one?
Something that owns a domain or website!
You can find these people's contact information relatively quickly through a simple "whois" search. I typically use whois.sc for my lookups (there are many out there) and here is the link.
www.whois.sc
Who should you target?
Local businesses need a lot of help with their marketing campaigns, then need help with their websites, and if they could benefit from being part of a community like Wealthy Affiliate.
Also, you could target people within any industry that you want, this can be done all through some very simple searches as I am about to show you. I am going to start with businesses in my city (Victoria, BC) because I have something in common with them (location) and I will likely be able to connect with them far easier than a business that does not share my location.
My first search in Google is: "victoria bc restaurants" (SHOWN BELOW).
This produces tons of results. Your initial thought would likely be to capture the domains on the first page which you can do, but it is the domains on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th page that need the help. These are the people that can really benefit from Wealthy Affiliate and will likely be interested in checking it out and learning how to market their service.
Here are some of the Page 2 results:
I have a bunch of potential candidates already. Now what you do is you want to create a list here (that you will then use with whois.sc.
(1) www.fairholmemanor.com
(2) www.cafe-brio.com
(3) thenoodlebox.net
(4) www.laurelpoint.com
Now what I am going to do is put these domains into a "whois" search and see if I can get their contact details.
(1) www.fairholmemanor.com, email: domains@northstudio.com
(2) www.cafe-brio.com, email: ceri@bcwineguys.com (EXAMPLE BELOW)
(3) thenoodlebox.net, ikarn9baduut9pui@private-contact.com
(4) www.laurelpoint.com, support@laurelpoint.com
You can then go on to do this on the corresponding pages and under all types of local businesses. You can also use services like Yellowpages.com to search for businesses in areas.
How do you approach these people?
OK, you have some contact emails, how do you go about contacting these people.
In a word, relevance.
You need to be relevant with your emails. You need to take the approach that you are well researched and that you truly want to help these people out.
These are the details that you should include within the email:
(1) How you find their site (ex. in Google, on page 2)
(2) How you can help (ex. training for free on how to improve rankings via a community that you are part of)
(3) Your affiliate link and a prelude to the Free Access to Local Marketing Training (could even give them the links to the resources)...or something relevant to the audience. Ex. Get instant access to training on: Local marketing...
(3) Offer your name
(4) Offer your contact email and offer your support if they have any questions
This is an unsolicited approach. We get several offers every day associated with our domain, sometimes we do read them, but only when the offers stand out. We get every offer from SEO to people aiming to sell similar domains and you need to recognize that you are not the only one sending emails via the whois method.
Relevance is the key.
This works within "niches" as well!
Say you want to do the same thing within a particular niche that you are knowledgeable of (would be even better if you had rankings within that niche). Say you are in the dieting niche and you have rankings under various "dieting" terms.
You would do the same thing in Google.
Type in a search term like "how to lose belly fat" and the find domains on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and on pages and plugin them into whois.sc. and perform the same process.
Imagine if you could use this technique to get 5 invites per day (more than possible with a little work). You would have a full time income from this alone, making approximately $2K per month in commissions.
Food for thought!
