MenuWhat would be the best platform (or method) to attract affiliates that find connect me to clients for my Wikipedia page creation campaign?
Answers
Why not outsource it? An easy search on upwork or fiver could find you the people you need to get your wikipedia campaign done. In the end it will only cost a fraction compared to an entire affiliate program.
If I am clear on what you want to accomplish, reach out to publicists, or the agent/agency of record, to pitch writing Wikipedia pages for celebrities. "A-list" corporations and startups tend to have an internal communications team/department so, pitch to those who manage media relations or PR.
When it comes to media mentions or increasing awareness, celebrities do not employ formal business tactics, like affiliate marketing. Therefore, ideal to create a list of celebrities, by industry, who do not have Wiki pages and pitch directly to their "handlers," which could be anyone from a personal assistant to a booking agent (highly unlikely that they are on Fiverr). An easier method may be to target agents of record. The only drawback is that most on their roster may already have a Wiki page. The next best method is to pitch via www.helpareporter.com, which is a tool that even journalists for mainstream media outlets use to garner responses.
Something to keep in mind is that "A-listers" don't need a Wiki page to increase credibility, awareness, engagement and sales. Wikis for celebs are more pull than push. However, B/C-listers and experts who aspire to be a leading authority or thought leader normally benefit from Wiki listings. A Wiki mention gives aspiring celebs credibility for more media mentions. Whereas, Wiki pages for celebs are generally created as a result of media mentions. In short, your target audience may be up and coming speakers, authors, startup founders, etc. who have local buzz and need to increase regional, national or international buzz. The method of reaching the latter target audience is the same, but is usually less guarded. Social media is an easy way to reach the appropriate contact in either regard.
In my experience managing media, PR, communications, marketing and branding for clients (celebs in entertainment, academic thought leaders and those in professional services), I see Wiki entries that have scattered, inaccurate information. You may also do well pitching Wiki EDITS for existing pages.
Call me to learn additional methods for reaching your target audience as well as defining and positioning your product.
i.e.
Depending on your pricing, you could put together a webinar that explains the benefits of having a wiki page and then approach key influencers that have audiences that would be a good fit for the product. If the webinar converts, you have an asset in which the affiliates can lead with in promoting and this would also build your email list with the people who do not buy. These people you can continue to nurture.

How do you get your first customers for a consulting business?
Back when I started LinkedIn wasn't as huge as it is now. I wish it was. I didn't have a large network and those networking sessions NEVER brought me any clients. I used to go to all sorts of them hoping to get clients. There were a couple of nibbles here and there, but never anything serious. The only thing that helped was reaching out DIRECTLY to people in my target market. That meant cold calls and cold emails. I'd sell myself while thinking about their needs. Once I got a few bites I'd build good rapport by keeping in touch, asking questions, repeating back what they were saying so that they knew I was on the same page and kept my promises. If I said I'd call them back next Tuesday at 2:15 I'd do so. Eventually I built trust with them without having a network, or an insane amount of experience. Oh and the most important thing about consulting is to LISTEN. When those first clients notice that you're truly listening and you're not selling the cookie cutter solutions everyone else is trying to sell them that's when you got them hooked. You start to understand their problems, fears, and see through their eyes and not just yours. A network will help, but in the beginning just good 'ol salesmanship will get the ball rolling.JC

What are average profit margins in Ice Cream store business?
Hi! I am owner of an ice crean chain with 45 stores in Chile. We have stores in shopping centers, streets and also karts that you can put in events and parks. The average cost margin of ice cream (depends on the amount of materials you use in producing the ice cream) is around 40%. This is italian gelatto where you serve the ice cream without a specific measurement so your costs can vary due to the size of each portion you serve. About the brand you should focus on your unique value proposition and what kind of ice cream you are selling. We import the pastry from Italy and the fruits and milk from our country. Your ROI depends on your sales price and costs. If you focus on high market ice cream you can charge high and keep costs down.MF

I just opened a small, upscale, boutique style hair salon. Any ideas on how to market?
I have no experience with salons, but marketing is my thing. So I'll give you some suggestions of what to think about, followed by what to do. Do you have clients already (let's say from your working days at another salon)? If so, you can start profiling them. You can ask them to fill out a form in exchange for a free gift (maybe one of those creams you use in the salon), or an entry to a raffle (where the prize is valuable). In the profiling, you want to look out for which neighborhoods they live in, what kinds of activities they like to do, what kinds of social events they love to do, and their occupations. Then, using each of those profile data, you can market to more prospects who share the same characteristics. For example, - You can set aside a budget to send flyers to specific neighborhoods. In order to get people into the door, maybe you can offer a certain procedure for free in exchange for opportunities to win new regular customers. (You could theoretically do this with Groupon too, but you have less control of who comes into your door) - You could set up joint venture relationships with organizations like ball room dancing schools, professional associations, etc. You could offer an exclusive discount with those groups to entice potential customers to try out your service. More opportunities for you to win regular customers. - With certain demographic data, you can probably make the same offer by advertising on Facebook. If you target specific enough, you can get the price of acquiring the lead to be pretty cheap. You would have to figure out your typical lifetime value of your customers before deciding whether advertising on Facebook would be worthwhile. One last thing, you can offer gifts for your existing customers if they refer you people. If you have any more questions, I'm happy to chat with you. Hit me up on this platform.SL
