My Shopping Genie - The Next Big Thing?
It's a foolish person who talks about the next big thing in internet marketing - but at the same time you have to keep your mind and your eyes open for the opportunities and there seems to be a good possibility that My Shopping Genie is one that none of us should ignore.
My Shopping Genie is a little software gizmo that you can give away. The problem with things like that is that they run into all sorts of resistance. And, as with all marketing, the way to overcome the resistance is to appeal to what the prospect really wants. In this case, My Shopping Genie saves them money whenever they shop online. And it does it in a way that is so convenient for the user that it is practically irresistible.
How does it do that? Well, the Genie becomes active only when the user uses the search engines. So someone types 'Samsung DVD player' into Google and the Genie pops up with 1-click links to the major shopping sites that are already primed with the cheapest offer for Samsung DVD players. Think how much time is saved not having to connect and search every comparison website. And how much money is saved by automatically presenting the cheapest offers.
Great stuff, so it's easy to use and it saves the recipient money. So it's possible that they will be sufficiently enthused that they will also sign up and give it away to their friends for exactly the same reason; we all want to be liked and giving away something useful generates lots of goodwill. So now, in marketing terms, we're going viral.
The great thing at this stage is that there's a business opportunity behind this as well. Sign up and treat it as a business and you get paid a dollar for every one you give away - up to a maximum of $200 per month.
A dollar. Wow!, small beer. $200/month, even smaller beer.
But wait, there's more. Go sign up as an affiliate at the online stores and the Shopping Genie that you gave away is going to act as your affiliate link for everything bought by people to whom you have given your Genie. Now we're starting to talk serious money.
Do you know that the top 10 searches at online shopping sites in the run up to Christmas 2008 were all 40 inch flat screen TVs or notebook computers. There's nothing there under £400 and they could be your affiliate sales. Watch the testimonials on the site to see the amounts of money that distributors are already making.
The Genie is spreading virally - and generating goodwill as it goes. The users will soon see that it finds great deals so are very likely to use it whenever they shop on line - in fact they cant avoid using it because it comes up automatically. And when they buy then you get paid. What's more there's a multi layer payment system like two tier affiliate system but even better so the more you give away, the more it spreads and the more money you make.
I could go on but the thing to do is just click the link to go to MyShoppingGenie and read it all for yourself.
But why is this such an opportunity?
Because it's only just launched. There are opportunities in this world but they only come by occasionally. And the place to get in is right at the beginning.
MyShoppingGenie launched just last November in the US and Canada. The UK is next on the list in the next couple of months. Get in now and ride the wave.
Will it last forever, of course not. There will be several years as it spreads across the globe, competitors will be developed, technologies will change. But it's quite feasible that you will make enough during the wave to keep you for the rest of your days. Best of all - you don't have to do all this hard work of internet marketing. You just have to give this thing away. Obviously, if you use your internet marketing skills then you are going to reach more people more quickly but that is up to you. How big is your family, how many friends do you have, what clubs and associations do you belong to, how big are your lists?
Don't take my word for it. Find out what Stephen Pierce is doing right now and you will find that one of the internet's premier marketing experts is devoting most of his life right now to promoting MyShoppingGenie. Would he do that if he didn't think he was going to make absolutely oodles of money from it? Of course not.
Get on board and ride the wave with MyShoppingGenie.
