I like how you’re making everyone aware of the word-of-mouth concept. Everyone uses it even though they never get paid for it. But it’s interesting how as soon as you know that you’re going to be paid for it, then it gets difficult to execute the word of mouth concept. I’ll be interested in seeing how this is applied to your marketing.
Regards,
Steve

Word of Mouth is the most powerful driving force in Marketing…
The simplest way to live life when you don’t know what to do, is BY COPYING FROM OTHERS (including bad habits)… We defeat our internal fears of something new by listening, swallowing what others have to say regarding a newly marketed product.
There is a great difference between comfortable and familiar marketed products, but left alone, we will all choose the familiar ones (the Word of Mouth creates the familiarity).
Mark Joiner, Congratulations for your new release!

Personally, I’m so ‘internet-oriented,’ I never even considered word-of-mouth … yet this was one of the first lessons I learned when I first started studying marketing. It’s a powerful concept that’s hard to beat.
The problem I find nowadays is that few products or services are extraordinary enough to want to tell others about them. Helpful to me? Yes. Good enough to share? Probably not.
Nonetheless, I’m anxious to hear more of your thoughts on this.

“Just can’t get enough…just can’t get enough…”
Yup, Mark…I must say your stuff is addictive. I just picked up your “The Irresistible Offer” the other day and have been a fan of simpleology for quite a while now. Love how you’ve really built a nice ‘system’ with this whole thang.
Take care and have a great rest of the week.

When I was in the real estate business I learned how to build a business using referral marketing. It requires some ongoing training of your current customers and clients to remember to send you more business. I am interested to learn more about how to create word of mouth marketing proactively.

thinking of your Harley example, the product/service must really deliver a thrill that makes you talk about it. It’s one thing to get motivated to buy the product because the ad was effective, but once you have it, is it really so great that you want to tell others? (and why? to help them? to brag? i think the reason there is important too). Anyway, LOVE this topic and also just getting started in Simpleology and thoroughly enjoying it! (and yes, it’s making me want to tell others!) ~Victory

Great insights Mark!
I’d be very interested to hear the other tips you’re going to share about word of mouth marketing, because there is really no good course or resource on that in the Internet marketing world.
And for such an important and powerful topic, it’s really strange.
Looking forward to learning more from you…
