Revive Your “Dead Client” List For Easy Money

Wanna rush of income? The guys at Stompernet (the coolest internet marketing company on the planet) made a video called “The Zombification Method”…or something like that. The video was about bringing your dead client list back to life. Gross, I know, but just hear me out on this one.

Hopefully, you have been collecting your customer’s contact info (if you haven’t been, you will after you read this). Establish criteria for what you decide a dead customer is. Someone who hasn’t done business with you for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year? Then contact those clients with an email or letter and say something like. “We haven’t seen you in awhile. Did we do something wrong? If we did, we would love to know what it is so we can fix it. Here’s a coupon if you’d like to give us your feedback and give us another shot.” BAM! Just like that, you will see a sudden jump in business.

I have seen people in other markets get wild results with this method. Depending on the market, I’ve seen case studies where business owners generate thousands of dollars or thousands of sales with just a few minutes work.

Not bad!

That could also be a valuable learning experience to make your business better too. How can you improve your business if you don’t know what to fix? Your clients are your best resource for this. The trick will be for you to find a way to apply this to your business.

If you do, you will make lots more money and your clients will be happier too. Yay!

Free Internet Traffic Sources

If you already have a website for your business, then you need some traffic. Here is a list of some traffic sources that are FREE!

I got the list from a crazy guy: Tellman Knudson. He’s like this mad marketing genius that looks an awful lot like Forrest Gump. He’s actually running across the country to raise $1oo million for homeless teens…barefoot! Find out more about Tellman HERE. BTW, he’s the master at list building.

Anyway, I digress. The objective is free traffic to your site so you can get more clients. All you need to do is teach what you know to your clients. You will be providing them with valuable info, but it also positions you as an expert. People are attracted to experts. Especially after you start getting your name on TV and in the news.

If you spend about 1/2 an hour per day on this, you will get more clients than you know what to do with. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that if you get too many clients, you raise your prices or start weeding out clients you don’t want.

So here’s the list:

How To Clean An Airbrush

Before you get too far with airbrushing, you are going to want to learn the basics, like how to clean your airbrush.

Getting your first airbrush is pretty darn exciting.  Did you open it and use it right away? I did!

Then, as misfortune would have it, it clogged.  I figured I would have to learn how to take it apart and put it back together soon enough, so I took it all apart. That’s where I got stuck. The manual the airbrush came with was no help. It took me some time, but I figured out how to put the whole darn thing together.

Even though your airbrush might be different, this video should help you to clean and put your airbrush back together.

Enjoy!

Need Some Pre-Tanning Instructions? Here Ya Go!

If you are providing airbrush tanning as a service, make sure you post pre-tanning instructions on your website. You want to make sure your clients do their part so they get the biggest bang for their buck.

Feel free to copy and paste. Enjoy!

Pre-Tan Instructions

Cleansing
Before applying the Airbrush Tanning Solution, make sure the skin is clean, free of all oil and moisturizer and the skin is dry.
Exfoliating is highly recommended.

Shaving
For the best results, shave the night before.

Deodorant
Do not use deodorant or perfume prior to airbrush tanning

Waxing
Do not apply Airbrush Tanning Solution within 4 days of waxing. The wax remains on the skin and block absorption of the the DHA.

Care of Airbrush Tanning Solution
For best results, leave the DHA on the skin for at least 5 hours.
Do not go swimming, shower, exercise vigorously or wash within 5 hours of application. That will remove the DHA and minimize results.

Clothing
Wear loose fitting clothes, preferable dark in color and slip on shoes.

Video Marketing 101 – FREE Tools To Go Viral

If you haven’t thought about video marketing to get new clients yet, let me give you a few reasons why doing it will make you some easy money. It’s fast, easy and you can even start doing it for FREE!!

As a beauty professional, what you create is visual. Most people in your shoes know that having a portfolio is vital. But how are you getting people to look at it? Do you show it to one person at a time? Or maybe prospective clients stumble across your website once in a while? If that is the case,you are leaving loads of money on the table.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, what do you think a video is worth? You can quickly and easily harness the power of the internet and go viral with video marketing. It is like putting your portfolio on steroids.

So how do you do it? It’s so easy…stupid easy. The funny part is that your competition is either too lazy to take a few steps to set themselves apart or they just haven’t heard about this technique…yet. Now is your time to take the bull by the horns and set yourself apart. Here’s how.

There are two tools that will get you *crazy* amounts of visitors to your site and you can do it FREE to start. I say free to start because the two super fabulous tools I’m going to show you offer free trials so you can test it for yourself. Once you see the power behind this strategy you’ll see they are worth 10x what they charge.

The two tools are…drum roll please…Animoto.com and Traffic Geyser.

Animoto is the coolest video making tool I’ve found so far. All you need are pictures! You just upload images, add some text and music and they mix it for you. You can then export to Youtube.com and use the emmbed code to put in your website or blog (I will explain the “how-to’s” of that later). OR, you can buy an HD version for $5 and download it to your computer. In that format, you can then distribute it to up to 50+ video and content sharing sites through Traffic Geyser.

Traffic Geyser is a tool to distribute your video content. Now, I have to give you a heads up and tell you that you need to be prepared to spend some time setting it up. They actually have a service to set it up for you for about $100 if you want to save some time. You also need to watch a couple videos to get the full effect of the tool, but it’s soooo worth it. This tool will get you on the first page of Google, sometimes within minutes of distribution. It’s that powerful.

If you are not a computer geek like I am, let me give you some perspective on how hard it is to achieve that without Traffic Geyser.  If you had a website that’s fully optimized, you had pages and pages of content, and you spent hours and hours building links back to your site, then you *might* get on the first page of Google…in a few months.

See how powerful this strategy is? You make a video with Animoto, distribute it through Traffic Geyser which sends people to your website and the next thing you know your phone is ringing off the hook! Can you really afford NOT to give this strategy a shot? Or even hire someone to do it for you? Shoot, call the local college and get some starving student to do it for you. Your time is valuable. It’ll be even MORE valuable after you do a little video marketing.

Want to see an example of an Animoto video? I have them here on my blog or you can heck out my youtube channel : arlinaallen

Send me an email when you make a video. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Happy Marketing!
