You know in my time online I’ve met and conversed with quite a few really good marketers. Some being some very big names as well. One thing I’ve noticed about this whole business sometimes is lack of loyalty and false promises. There has been a few times I’d been promised help with certain promotions of my own from people, just to wind up with absolutely nothing from people in the end. Sometimes it might not have been for a certain product, but, it may have been a little help building a list in exchange for other services, or adswaps, or whatever the case may be. It sort of wrenches you in the heart a bit to, when people on the other end don’t live up to what they claim they would help you out with, especially when you do your best to help them out with things. I ran across a guy that I’d done a few promotions for a few times with the promise of a couple in return. When the time came he said, “Oh well, I don’t promote for other people in any way. I only create my own products and get others to promote for me.” Hmmm, now does that seem right to you?
Anyhow….I’ve also done a lot of promoting for people and don’t even take an affiliate commission. But then again, that’s loyalty whom only some people deserve and a whole different story. I’ve also promoted and generated commissions for certain people and products, and have never been paid. It’s a funny business sometimes.
But, one such guy that I’ve come to know who has always been a complete straight shooter, and a really great guy to boot is Todd Gross. If you aren’t all that familiar with Todd Gross he’s the guy behind many voice ads, a lot of video promotions and all sorts of other promotions with his marketing career. Todd’s been a weatherman for the last 30 years and is also famous for being the newscaster in the movie “A Perfect Storm”. He’s one of those guys who is obviously very well trained and very professional in what he does.
The one thing that I’ve come to know about Todd though, is that he’s also the kind of person that genuinely tries to help people out. Also, when he says he’s going to do something, you can bet your butt he’s going to do it. Todd’s really helped me out a few times with my business, and each time he does I’m very grateful. Recently, I’d sent out a new promotion for Todd which is going live tommorrow for his Voice Overs. I did get some clicks on it, and a bit of interest, but, I really felt quite bad that it hadn’t been what I’d hoped it would be. Since I’d lost so many contacts with one of my lists because of bounces and “using the wrong service” for this list, the response was very small. It made me feel somewhat bad because I really wanted to do a better job for him.
With all of the hoopla happening today online with the release of Google Nemesis I suppose I could have jumped on the band wagon since something like that sells really well, and written about that today. But, with Todd Voice Overs happening tommorrow….loyalty. Also, this is one of those things that can really set your web sites apart from so many others out there. This is a different type of thing compared to most products out there. It’s more like hiring a complete professional for providing for you a very professional service. Also because of the nature of a service like this, he will only be able to take a very limited number of clients.
Until….tommorrow…Todd’s Voice Overs
The greatest in all you do,
Make Success Yours!
