Now is your chance to help a Marketing Professional
by TheMarketingProfessional
I recieved an e-mail from my long time friend and fellow marketing professional Ken McArthur.
He asked me for a favor and I saind “sure, no problem!”
I am writing this post to request the same thing from you only by helping me you will be helping Ken and potentially thousands of marketing professional’s all over the world.
So here’s the deal, in the course of my conversations with marketers of every kind, many of them say, “Mark, if I can ever do anything for you, just let me know.”
Ken shared the exact same sentiment with me and here is some more of what he shared with me:
For the most part, I thank them and we go on with life. Thousands SAY they will do something for you and the actual friends who do something is much lower.
The number who will do something for you expecting NOTHING in return is MUCH lower.
That’s completely understandable.
We are all busy and EVERYONE has hundreds if not thousands of people who we would like to help … and only so much time or so many resources to share.
Bing Crosby said this about his relationship with Bob Hope:
“There is nothing in the world I wouldn’t do for (Bob) Hope, and there is nothing he wouldn’t do for me … “
“We spend our lives doing nothing for each other.”
- Bing Crosby
That’s the way most of us are with our friends.
Right now, Ken is in the middle of launching the beta version for Tobri and like a thousand of your other friends, acquaintances and loved ones he and I could use your help.
We want to quickly get the word out to other people about Tobri and I know that MANY of my friends could tell thousands if not tens of thousands of people in an instant if they wanted to.
ALL of my friends know someone who they could invite.
BUT THEY WON’T
Don’t get me wrong, they could!
Tobri is NOT about internet marketing. It’s about connections.
It’s for anyone who wants to make great connections or just stay in contact with you.
People can create their own groups, events, play games and just enjoy the wonderful community.
It doesn’t cost Tobri beta members anything to join or spread the word.
HERE’S SOMETHING INTERESTING …
If all of my friends told just the people on their mailing lists about Tobri today, there would be a million users on the Tobri Beta today.
Heck, if just the people who told me to let them know if they could do anything for me would just send out a mailing today, I’d have tens of thousands of people on Tobri by the end of the day.
SO WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU IF YOU DID …
How about an affiliate program that will be focused on selling Business memberships, but most of the people we are looking for right now to make up the Tobri Community aren’t going to buy a business membership — because they aren’t in business!
Most people in Facebook or on Twitter aren’t buying business premium services and most of the people in Tobri won’t be either.
Tobri isn’t an Internet marketing site. It’s a social network and amazing connection engine.
So right now we just need ordinary PEOPLE.
Soon we will target businesses and give you opportunities to make money from that and Tobri is certainly a great place to find customers, clients, friends and to gain credibility and visibility.
SO HERE’S THE QUESTION …
How many people would you be willing to invite to Tobri? — for nothing — just based on our relationship.
I’m talking about sending out a simple message like:
==============
Hi (FirstName),
Ken McArthur has a new beta site for graphing
and making great connections that I’m really
loving. Check out the video and connect with
me there. I really want you in my network!
It doesn’t cost a cent and there are some amazing
people in there. Lots of buzz on this one!
Thanks!
[YOUR NAME]
==============
Would you send it out to a hundred, a thousand, a hundred thousand?
I’m not expecting anything and I’m not going to think less of you if you do nothing or if you only know two people in the world.
I’m really writing this to a very select minority of people who have come up to me over the course of years and years of being together and said, “If there is ever anything I can do for you …” — and meant it.
If that’s you, I don’t care if you mail to 100,000 or one person, I’d just love to know that you did.
Whether it’s me or anyone of the thousands of people who need you right now. Do something for nothing for someone today.
Here’s to Ken, Tobri and all the great folks I am going to meet there,
The Marketing Professional
