An Invitation

Teaching Sells

This week I received an invitation from Brian Clark. Did I want to tell you about what he and Tony D. Clark are releasing?

Brian got this teacher’s attention as soon as I read, “Teaching Sells.” I thought, “Oh, he’s picked a tough crowd for this one. This teacher sure hopes it’s good.”

I sent questions. I pictured Brian shaking his head, thinking what a pain I am. He didn’t need questions like “What pedagogy are you basing this on?” But he got a list of them anyway.

The cool thing is I got answers in almost no time. And I couldn’t find anything to poke holes in. What I found was information on . . .

. . . more than that. Oh and, the teaching model (pedagogy) they’ve chosen is a good one. The opportunity to make more money online is one that works for almost any entrepreneur.

So, I’m happy to link you to

Free Report: Teaching Sells

Click that big title to get your copy. The report is free. I’ve read it. It’s solid business and sound educational practice. You owe it to yourself and your business to download and read this. Your time and expertise are valuable.

Congratulations, Brian and Tony! You’ve hit the mark on both counts. Teaching Sells.

Work with Liz!!

    Liz-
    Fascinating topic: Teaching Sells. The premise is right on–learning experiences will be great marketing vehicles in the RenGen (renaissance generation). People love to learn. You and I met last night for the first time and this blog post got me thinking…I’d like to follow up on this topic of teaching with you. What you are doing with this blog is instructing a vast network of people. You are a virtual teacher–big time! I’ll stay in touch.
    Best,

    Hi Mike!
    You catch on to something like “teaching sells” too quickly. Darn. Well, Brian and Tony have done a great job. No kidding. :)

    Liz,

    I know a recommendation from you is money in the bank, um, er, very worthwhile! ;-)

    Hey Mike,
    You’re right about that! I don’t give my name away on anything that I haven’t asked whole bunch of questions about. :)
    You’ve been reading the recommendations from my Chief Financial officers over at the Liz Strauss blog. Haven’t you? :)

    Liz, you were the one person both Tony and I knew would give us the unvarnished truth about what you thought.

    When you objected to only one sentence, I was thrilled! :)

    Liz,

    I consider you a trusted advisor and friend, and your integrity is unassailable. That’s why I like hanging out here.

    That, and the Klondike bars.

    And flamenco dancing!

    Cheers,

    Mike

    Well sounded so interesting I had to get my own copy. The name is great. Of course one requires the ability to learn and in my case that may be an iffy proposition indeed. Can’t hurt to read it though especially if it’s written by Brian and Tony and endorsed by yourself.

    Pedagogy? You actually asked them this? Liz, you’re too cruel (I like it!). :D

    Amazingly, I knew what she meant. :)

    Hey Brian, Hows by you?

    I had absolutely no doubt you would, sir. ;)

    A thing is not “free” when you have to give something in return for it. I heartily dislike the squeeze page tactic of offering a “freebie” to get you on a mailing list.

    Of course one can get off the list, but I’d rather stay off in the first place. If this stuff is so good, why not ask for the email in the report (”Hey, want more like this? Join our mailing list!”). But naturally, they’ll get more signups by grabbing the address first. No thanks.

    Hey Brian!
    Thanks for your patience with all of my questions. You know I think the world of your work.

    That pedagogy question was the one that sorted “the men from the boys” in meetings when I was in educational publishing. Your answer was fabulous. Thank you for that.

    Hi Mike!
    Thank you. We’ll have plenty of Klondike bars tonight. :)

    Hi Kirk,
    Yep, I wanted to know that they really meant it when they said they would be talking about teaching . . . not something else. Besides, pedagogy is just a fun word. :0

    Hi Scorpia,
    I agree and I’ve walked past many offers for the very reasons you outline here. However, I do occasionally give my address to pick up a report that I know is of value. This is one that falls into that class. To me, letting someone know I downloaded it is fair payment if he or she put in the work to write something I value and distribute it for free.

    Liz,

    The Free Report (why do I keep hearing Uncle Rico’s voice when I read that?) was good, especially the audio version.

    Hi Liz

    Nothing in this world is ‘free’, but IMHO not for the reason Scorpia mentions. It’s a fair trade to get ‘value for money’ i.e. free advice - you’re looking for - paid for with your email address.

    We ‘give’ free advice out on blogging on our blog-studio blog (we teach blogging to neo-bloggers in our workshops, and yes we ask them for real money).

    My own FAQ & News blog gives out plenty free advice on wooden flooring. If someone has a question that isn’t (yet) covered they ‘pay’ with their email address and ‘end-up’ on our newsletter mailing list so they can receive even more monthly free advice, tips and news. And our ‘aim’ in the end is to sell products to them - fair trade IMHO.

    It’s the new marketing way and very effective too if you do it correctly. I’m all for it, I use it, I teach it and I’m being taught lessons in it.

    Hi Karin!
    The key to the whole process that you outline is that it be transparent and permission based — that is, that folks know that their email put them on a list and that they are able to unsubscribe with ease.

    Actually when I think of it, it’s probably a good thing to get folks to consider how much they want something before they download. A small barrier such as enterring an email address does make me stop to think.

    Many folks I know keep special account for such things — to be protected against the occasional chance of folks abusing the email lists they collect. I’ve never had it happen to me that my address has been “sold.” At least not the times I’ve used ones that I track.

    I agree a fair trade is justifiable. :)
