How To Succeed With Cash Gifting

Copyright 2010
Introduction After recently publishing my 3rd cash gifting ebook I realized that I hadn’t covered an integral topic: how to succeed with cash gifting. Sure I’d shared my marketing strategies, red flags, and facts about the work at home activity. But I hadn’t yet tied everything together in one ebook. I’m at the $7500 and $1500 levels of 2 respective clubs. By using trial and error I’ve found out which free marketing methods were successful and which weren’t. Some mentors prefer to use paid marketing strategies; more power to them. Pay per click advertising and postcards marketing are two of the more effective methods utilized by cash gifting mentors. I decided that I wanted to become an authority. I wanted to learn this misunderstood practice inside-out and help you to share the opportunity with others. Cash gifting is offering a declared sum of cash to someone as a gift. The cash gift is offered freely without coercion or consideration. The cash gift is not a loan, investment, or payment for goods and services. It’s a sum of money use to help others. Recruiting, cold-calling, or aggressive selling tactics are not permitted in cash gifting. Convincing someone to offer a cash gift against their will is unethical. Cash gifting is a private, invitation-only activity. Cash gifting is not a “what‘s in it for me” deal. There is no guaranteed return on your gift. To succeed in cash gifting keep these ideas in mind. With a firm understanding of the activity you can build a better marketing campaign. 1
1 - Understand What Cash Gifting Is About The spirit of cash gifting is giving. It’s people helping people. Don’t let the hype machine jade you. I could film myself driving my BMW 323i, but what the heck good does that do you? Gifting is not about flashy cars, mansions, or dream vacations. It’s about people helping people with the gift of cash. The people who prosper keep the spirit of gifting in mind. Give freely, receive generously. Philanthropists give because it makes them feel good. They enjoy helping other people. This is what gifting is about. Why would you give a gift freely without expecting anything in return? Because the happiest, healthiest, wealthiest people give for the sake of giving. J.D. Rockefeller gave away dimes to needy people when he was a youngster. He became the wealthiest man and greatest philanthropist the world has ever known. Bill Gates retired from his post at Microsoft to spend his time working on charities. Warren Buffet is donating the bulk of his fortune to philanthropy. These people became the wealthiest on earth because they gave of their knowledge, wisdom, and capital. Give freely, receive generously. Don’t get caught up with the dollar amount. The manner is which you give is what counts. If you feel great when offering a gift you’re on the right track. Giving with a grudge or giving with strings attached doesn’t work nearly as well. If you’re greedy, if you’re looking out for yourself, people won’t look out for you. If you really want to succeed in cash gifting you’ll give freely with no strings attached.

2 - Know That You’ll Meet Resistance You will run into skeptics. This is inevitable. Cash gifting is labeled a scam by people who don’t understand the process. It’s the giving that enables you to receive. You are not looking for anything in return. A cash gift is not a payment, it’s not a loan, and it’s not an investment. It’s a declared sum of cash offered freely, without coercion or consideration. I’ve encountered people who didn’t share this view. That’s a good thing. Their resistance challenged my belief system. It tested me. I also challenged their belief system, which caused them to react negatively. I choose to focus on the positive; doubters helped to build my faith in the activity of cash gifting. The blessing of gifting is that it’s an invitation-only activity. You can’t recruit anyone, at least if you want to be ethical. If someone is open to the idea of offering a cash gift freely, great. If not, don’t convince them. This is strictly forbidden in cash gifting. Illegitimate groups do exist. Hucksters may start a lone-wolf operation. Others build shady groups which they advertise as “cash gifting”. The only way to spot these frauds is to investigate the group and the mentor. Sham groups masquerading as cash gifting clubs provide ammunition for the cash gifting watch-dogs. This is why you may receive some criticism for promoting cash gifting. Stand firm. Our constitution affords you the right to offer a cash gift to a person or entity. If the club meets a few requirements - which I’ll discuss later on - it’s a legitimate group.

3 - Research Due diligence was the basis of my free marketing campaign. I did over a year’s worth of research to write my 2 blogs, 4 ebooks, and countless ezine articles. You’ll encounter plenty of information and misinformation about cash gifting. It’s important to be discerning. Don’t be skeptical because a closed mind is dangerous. Don’t believe everything you read either. Cash gifting is not the greatest thing since sliced bread. It’s a potentially prospering work at home opportunity. Interview your prospective cash gifting mentor. Call with 10 questions in mind. Some potential questions: 1 - What is cash gifting? (You‘d be surprised at the range of answers on this one) 2 - What marketing techniques do you use to effectively promote the club? 3 - Does your club charge an admin fee? (Some clubs charge a $50 to run their website). 4 - Does your cash gifting club provide a free website? 5 - What marketing strategies does your club share? 6 - How can you help me succeed with cash gifting? 7 - What gifting model does your club employ? 8 - What’s the minimum, maximum, and intermediate gift amounts? 9 - Do you have experience with internet marketing? 10 - Do you use online and offline marketing strategies? These are a few ideas. Cash gifting is built on trust. To offer a gift freely trust the recipient of your gift. 4
Read your potential mentor’s motives. Do they seem like they want to help? Or are they in a rush to get off of the phone? If they don’t feel right move on to the next club. The group should provide you with gifting and non-solicitation forms. The paperwork confirms that the declared sum of cash is a gift. The cash gifting club can’t be structured like a business. If it is there’s a chance it’s illegitimate. By interviewing a prospective mentor you can better understand what gifting structure the group employs.

4 - Decide On A Niche Cash gifting is offering the gift of cash and sharing the opportunity with others. Decide who would be interested in the activity. One possible niche is work at home. Cash gifting mentors are usually entrepreneurs. They’re looking for a change-up to a traditional work at home opportunity. I’ve branched out into the law of attraction niche. People who believe in the law of reaping and sowing are receptive to the idea of cash gifting. Focusing on a niche allows you to concentrate your efforts. Aim for a niche keyword. It can’t be too competitive. “Cash gifting” is probably not an ideal keyword for someone using free marketing techniques. “Cash gifting program” and “cash gifting club” are 2 possible examples. Augment a select group of cash gifting keywords with the previously mentioned “work at home” keyword. Google provides a free keyword tool which is helpful. https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal A number of third part companies offer keyword research services as well.

5 - Article Marketing Article marketing is content creation. It’s a cornerstone of my advertising campaign. Write keyword rich articles. The aim is not to share a running advertisement. Inform the online community about cash gifting. Discuss what the activity is, how it works, and how to share it with others. Aim for at least 1-2 articles a week. Provide value. Ezine publishing can help to establish your position as an authority. Most ezines hold a high search engine ranking. This means that a content-rich article with the proper keyword density shows up on the first page of google. The higher the search engine rank the more eyeballs reading your work. Submit to sites like goarticles.com, amazines.com, and articledashboard.com. Ezine publishers provide a resource box where you can supply a link. Link to your blog or capture page. Each click you receive boosts your site’s search engine rank. This is why it’s important to write informative articles. A useful article piques the interest of the reader. They’ll likely click on your link to learn more. Most ezine publishers allow unlimited submissions. One thing to note: do not make duplicate submissions to different ezine publishers. The search engines will penalize you.

6 - Blogging Quality cash gifting blogs are few and far between. Most are outdated. Some cash gifting mentors are hucksters; they’re either misinformed or have nothing to offer except hyped-up claims. I receive positive feedback on my blogs since I provide fresh and useful content. Post frequently. Focus on your selected keywords. I cover a different aspect of cash gifting each time I post. There’s no sense in duplicating posts; search engines crave unique content. Don’t be afraid to mix in the occasional law of attraction or self-improvement post. Branching out from the cash gifting or work at home niche is a good idea on occasion. Encourage interaction with your readers. Invite them to comment. End your posts with a questions. Invite them to take action. Successful blogging is based on building a community. Most readers won’t revisit a blogger who appears to be reading from a pulpit. Ensure that you’re level with your readers. They help to make your blog.

7 - Ebooks Ebooks are an invaluable marketing tool. Cash gifting ebooks are a traffic driver. There are virtually no books covering this activity due to its private nature. This is my 4th cash gifting ebook. As for ideas focus on a specific topic. You can write an ebook focused on a compilation of your blog posts. Another ideas is to combine a number of your ezine articles. Save your ebook in a Word doc and convert into an Adobe Acrobat file using Cute FTP. Authoring an ebook can establish instant credibility. Ebooks provide easy access to your store of knowledge. Prospects give cash gifting ebooks a double-take; there are few comprehensive resources available detailing the work at home practice. Ebooks can be a great give-away. Everybody likes a freebie. Fill your newsletter with excerpts from your ebook. Promote it on Facebook and twitter. Set up backlinks directed at your cash gifting ebook.

8 - Twitter Build a network of like-minded people with twitter. I’ve focused on a work at home crowd along with people interested in the law of attraction. I am also an inspirational author. Many of my motivational tweets attract friends who are interested in the concept of cash gifting. Tweet value. The most successful tweeters focus on providing value-added tweets. Before advertising your capture page try tweeting something informative. I like tweeting my cash gifting ebooks line for line. I tweet my blog posts and ezine articles too. Pique interest in cash gifting. People are more sophisticated these days; the competitive prospecting methods of the past don’t work anymore. Your goal is to create a buzz around your cash gifting club. Nobody cares about your capture page if they don’t understand exactly what cash gifting is, how it works, and why it’s an attractive work at home activity. My twitter ID is: @ryanbiddulph

9 - Be Persistent As with any venture you must pass the persistence test before becoming a success. Cash gifting is not get rich quick. I received an opt-in within days of my site going live but a gift didn’t arrive for at least a few weeks. It take effort to become a cash gifting success using free methods but it’s been worth it. I work for myself. I write inspirational books and share my cash gifting knowledge for a living. Not a bad deal. If you have questions about cash gifting please don’t hesitate to contact me.
