Unlocking Potential with the Dream 100 Marketing Strategy
Hello, everyone!
Welcome back to my diary, where I share my journey and insights daily. Today, I want to dive into a topic that's central to my current business efforts—The Dream 100 Marketing Strategy.
For those of you who have been following along, you know that I wear multiple hats, and one of my aspirations has always been to break into the marketing agency space. Initially, I looked into various marketing systems, processes, and content repurposing models. However, due to the labour-intensive nature of these methods and other business commitments, they took a back seat, a back seat that just seemed to keep extending indefinitely.
Recently, though, I stumbled upon a niche that re-energised my passion for this space. That niche revolves around a proven marketing strategy called the Dream 100, originally created by the American marketer Chet Holmes. This isn't just any strategy; it's a game-changer. Even top-tier marketers, charging upwards of $100,000 to $200,000 for a day's consultation, swear by it. Given its endorsement and high success rate, it clearly has immense value, although mastering it can be a challenge.
So, what exactly is the Dream 100 strategy? At its core, it's about being laser-focused and targeted in attracting your dream customers. Instead of spreading your efforts thin across vast social media platforms or spending exorbitant amounts on Facebook and Google ads, this strategy zeroes in on 100 key potential partnerships and collaborations. These could be influencers, Facebook groups, websites, businesses, blogs, and more—essentially, entities that already have a strong following of your ideal customers.
Find the 100 best collaboration opportunities that complement your product or service. It's a blend of people, products, and places—33 individuals, 33 services that align with what you offer, and 33 physical or digital places where your target audience congregates. These could be forums, networking groups, or any relevant hangouts.
Reach out to these potential partners with creative collaboration offers. These could range from offering your product or service for free in exchange for promotion, setting up affiliate deals to share commission on sales, to being a guest on their podcast to talk about your offerings.
With a low response rate expected, persistence is key. Regular follow-ups increase the chances of landing these collaborations, and all it takes is one successful partnership to exponentially elevate your business.
The reason I'm so excited about this strategy is that it's perfect for micro-business owners, who often lack the budget and time for extensive marketing efforts. My team and I are currently building the funnel and testing it with my internal businesses to refine our approach. Our goal is to offer this as a DIY solution, and eventually, as a premium service where we execute the strategy for our clients.
This method is not only inspired by observing others' success but also from personal acquaintances who have benefitted greatly from it. With my dedicated team, I am confident that we can replicate these successes for both my businesses and our future clients.
