Planes, Trains & Autoresponders!

If ever there were a misleading blog post, this would probably be it! So, let’s see if I can make this post tie into the title and make it all relevant.

This past week we had yet another successful Mastermind Meeting! Six hours of intense learning, brain-storming and idea-swapping can really fly by! But this meeting was special because we brought with us a Guest-Masterminder!

Guest Masterminder: Dave “RC” Powers

We were so blessed to have Dave with us this past weekend for so many reasons. For starters, he assured me that: YES! Money can be made online outside of the Internet Marketing or Business Opportunity niche. (Phew!)

Dave Powers is the creator of RCPowers.com and he designs, builds, & flies anything and everything remote controlled that can fly (Hey, like PLANES!) He is contacted by the largest RC companies month after month where they ask him to build their planes and take video of him flying them! I know what you are thinking, and the answer is Yes! Dave gets paid Big Bucks to fly around toy airplanes for a living! Anything is possible!

But Dave is so unique because he never really learned Internet Marketing from the Gurus. He didn’t purchase some big course and follow it step-by-step. THIS GUY DOESN’T EVEN HAVE AN AUTORESPONDER! Instead, he just had a true PASSION for something he loved (playing with toy planes) and he continued to work at it.

Today, his biggest success comes from YOUTUBE where he is Constantly rated in the Top 5 of the Science & Technology Category and he gets a minimum of 50,000 views a day! He is killin’ it!

But you want to know the coolest thing? When he left at the end of our meeting, he actually thanked us! He thought our meeting was really informative and constructive and he walked away with a big to-do list for getting his business to the next level!

Some Quick Lessons from Dave:

I wouldn’t dare write a post without giving some great Take-Away Content that you could use in your business. Although we learned sooo much from him in 6 hours that it is impossible to write it all down here, I want to give some great bullet points.

1. Build The 2-Way Relationship!

Dave’s list was build through Subscribers on Youtube, not a traditional autoresponder. Although this is not recommended, he is able to go in and look at his subscribers and learn a lot from them by the videos they post and the views they enjoy. He is taking the time to get to know them, and he creates his videos, webpages, etc based on what his customers want.

He also encourages questions from his customers. These questions (which he takes the time to answer himself) formulate the next steps in his business. Your customer will tell you exactly what they are looking for without even knowing it! You have to do more than just listen to your customers, you have to deliver!!

2. Find Something & Stick With it:

Dave defined Social Media with an analogy of planting several seeds in a garden: You won’t see the immediate effects right away, but if you water them regularly, eventually you will see that growth. Even more so, you may notice that some areas of your garden are growing incredibly while some areas quickly die. Don’t continue to spread yourself too thin in areas that lack growth. Instead, focus on your award-winning plants: give them the attention they need to prosper even further. For Dave, his Prize Crop was YOUTUBE. What’s your prize crop?

3. Rapport-Building

And finally, Dave stressed the fact that the reason he has remained successful is that his customers know and trust him. He has the patience to take the time and build rapport with everyone in his community. When he recommends a company’s RC Plane he spends hours doing research on that company. He then puts each product through rigorous tests before he even brings it to the public on YouTube. He has never promoted a bad product, and has never had an angry, unsatisfied customer. Remember, news spreads fast on this thing called the Internet, it is up to you if you want that to be good or bad news.

P.S. I ended up never mentioning anything about TRAINS in this post, and for that I apologize.
