Earlier today, I sent the 2 emails reproduced below to several CEOs whose marketing or business promotion materials/resources I came in contact with during a recent event.
My purpose was simply to offer suggestions I felt would benefit them in getting more marketing mileage for their brands.
What I did was to call each person up, mention how I got his/her materials and then ask a few questions about how s/he currently did his/her marketing.
After getting what I felt were enough insights from the responses provided, I would then offer an introduction regarding the use of a WMS, and propose sending the explanatory no-strings-attached email followup, with his/her permission.
Each CEO said YES – and so I sent him/her the promised emails.
Below, I share excerpts from the emails I sent them, in the hope that others in need of ideas may find them of some benefit. If you need more details or specific help, click here send me a message.
Hi,
Our phone conversation earlier today refers.
Like I said, I’m NOT selling anything.
Instead, I feel led to offer some suggestions to you (and some others) whose marketing materials I picked up, from their stands at the recently concluded event.
There’s a lot of other stuff I’ve written about how a Web Marketing System can be used to achieve timeless marketing based name/brand recognition and zero cost sales leads generation. {Hint: Google “tayosolagbade.com: web marketing system” – or just click preceding link)
My approach is to use MY NAME as a basis for promoting my brand, That’s why I noted that you could make people who Google your name discover your brand that way.
However, using an “alias” also works as well, – especially if your day jobs makes it imperative that you avoid openly linking your name, or yourself with income earning activity outside that with your employer.
I call it a Zero Cost Web Marketing System (WMS) or an Effective Online Presence (EOP)
Below is a generic message I use to explain what it is all about:A. Find attached a mindmap image (see it here) that shows key components of what I call a customizable Web Marketing System (WMS).
A WMS, setup right, can be used to boost your business marketing reach/impact, measurable over time in terms of:1. time, effort and money you WILL save
2. Quality sales leads/enquiries you will generateB. Find attached a zipped folder containing a video (click here to request download access) for you to watch offline, in which I explain what the WMS components are about and how they benefit businesses that use them.
To watch the video, REMOVE or EXTRACT the 2 files in the zipped folder, and place them in the same location on your PC.
Then use either Option A or Option B to playback the video:
Option A: Double click on the web page file (the one with the browser icon) among the two, to watch the video in your browser. If you get a prompt to activate “Adobe Flash Player” click on the prompt to activate it by following the instructions that appear. This method typically applies to PCs with older versions of Windows Operating System.
Option B: In newer versions of Windows, and/or on PCs with VLC players, ignore the web page file and simply double click the much larger SWF file – the video should start playing immediately.
Let me know if you need help/have questions or require clarification.
I hope you find it useful – and wish you more success with the creative work you’re doing!
Understanding the ideas I share in the above resources will help you make more intelligent use of the WMS you develop and implement for your busines – especially in terms of how you make use of your time to find potential clients.
I wish you well.
Final Words: This is a Public Service of sorts…so do share this post to your networks if you know anyone who may benefit!
Every once in a while I come across persons in business with whom I feel led to share ideas. Many times I readily LEARN from such persons, even though they may not have gone out of their way to try teaching (or sharing with) me.
That’s how I’m wired – constantly SEARCHING for ways and means to improve my ability to do what I LOVE doing. So, whether you like it or not, if I encounter you in person or online I CAN learn from you – and I WILL, if I see cause to.
But I’ve learnt that others may not be able to function like I do. Indeed very few are driven like I am to actively explore continuous improvement avenues to take what I do to the next level.
So, whenever I feel the need, I try to give of myself in a CSR kind of way. Just offering to give back by sharing what I feel can help the other person, with him/her in a no-strings-attached manner.
That’s what I’ve done via email with the CEOs mentioned – and in this post for possible others.
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” – Calvin Coolidge
Today I and the kids of the Tayo Solagbade clan will be attending (and participating in) yet another event. This one we’ve actually been talking about and even “preparing towards” for weeks!
Yesterday, the second “littlest” among us spent most of the day “practicing” in readiness for a possible opportunity to showcase her skills, that we anticipate may present itself where we’re going.
I felt so proud seeing her take control of proceedings assertively, from consulting their Facebook page for details of steps to follow, to executing the actual steps required to complete the task.
There were times when things did not go as planned or the way she wanted. And she got readily upset about it.
Those moments presented me valuable best practice parenting opportunities for me to explain that life will sometimes not give us what we want i.e. that LIFE WILL OFTEN NOT BE FAIR TO US!
NB: This PI Squared newsletter will be published weekly, on Mondays, in place of the Speaking/Web Marketing IDEAS newsletter, starting from today – 15th February 2016. I’m reinventing my Monday newsletter content and theme, to accommodate my vision of serving the growing audience of serious minded individuals and organizations reaching out to me, with information, education. news and research findings designed to help them do what they do better.

PII 064: Life Will Not Always be Fair – The Secret to Having Your Way Anyway [Hint: Is Your Job Keeping You from Being a Better Parent?]
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” – Calvin Coolidge
Today is a special day for me and the rest of the Tayo Solagbade clan. We’ve been talking about the event we’ll be attending today, for weeks. Regular readers of this blog know I’m an advocate of REAL LIFE experience based learning to better prepare kids to succeed in society.
Yesterday, the second “littlest” among us (see her in the ATM queue in photo below) spent most of the day “practicing” in readiness for a possible opportunity to showcase her skills that we anticipate may be given to her where we’re going.
There were times when things did not go as planned or the way she wanted. And she got readily upset about it.
Those moments presented me valuable best practice parenting opportunities to explain that life will sometimes not give us what we want i.e. that LIFE WILL OFTEN NOT BE FAIR TO US!
At least not immediately. Sometimes it will test our resolve and conviction. Our academic brilliance or natural genius will not matter.
Only our capacity for self-belief, blind faith, determination and persistence will matter.
They are the ultimate determinants of authentic success achievement.
Like the little child she was, she found this “unfair” treatment (in which she did not get to have her way) hard to swallow. But I made it clear there was no escaping it.
The above is a message I’ve also passed to her older siblings in many coaching conversations over the years – and especially since last year (2016).
We’re all getting up right now, so we can get early breakfast ready and hit the road to beat the traffic.
I will be sharing news from this outing when we return.
Like I always do with any aspects of activities I engage in that I believe can help others get potentially useful ideas they can put to productive use in their lives, in this area of best practice parenting and others covered in my work as a Performance Improvement Specialist.
For now, I refer you to the article linked further down, in which I shared experience based insights, from over 2 decades of achieving my goals in spite of adversity.
These ideas I seek to pass FIRST to my kids, and to any others willing to learn.
If you want to be a person who succeeds no matter what and no matter how long, you need to get used to the fact that people will often be telling you that you are trying to do the impossible, when you choose to pursue your genius.
Learn to think like I do, and like I advocate here, and you will NEVER be limited by whatever they think or say.
It’s NOT easy, and does not happen quickly.
But if you keep at it, you will succeed. Everything I say here is based on my verifiable accomplishments in spite of nay sayers.
E.g. They told me I could not make any decent money selling my custom automated spreadsheet workbooks for YEARS as I struggled to create a market for my Excel-VB Solutions Development service in Nigeria.
Today, I enjoy the undeniable international reputation as a trusted provider of custom Excel-VB software (and related solutions) to buyers within and outside Africa. One of my most popular products – the Excel-VB Poultry Farm Manager, sells for what some people earn as monthly salary in Nigeria.
This is why I SPEND SO MUCH TIME with them daily exposing them to mental stamina BUILDING experiences.
I want my kids to have the kind of mental attitude I have – because I know it is the major factor responsible for my demonstrated ability to DEFEAT adversity and ADVANCE towards my goals regardless of what goes wrong at any point in my life.
Mental Stamina is the best gift you can give your child. And if you lack it, I urge you to invest the time and effort to DEVELOP it!
On a final note, I must say this:
Becoming a Location Independent Multipreneur was not easy for me to ACHIEVE, but today it gives me the freedom to give my kids the kind of intensive best practice parenting I know they need.
The choices I made to get here were tough, but I LOVED my kids too much to NOT be prepared to take them.
Those who don’t get it still persist in 10a.m to 10p.m jobs and think they’re “parenting” their kids by “paying” for stuff they should be DOING for their kids themselves. Sad.
If you really LOVE your kids, you need to find a way to WORK for a living, so as to better give them the parenting preparation they need!
Happy Workers’ Day!

In this issue of the Farm CEO newspaper, I announce a 2-in-1 promotional service offer that may interest members of my Farm Business Ideas club. See PDF and image Mind Map attached to the email broadcast:
I actually sent a personalised version to one of 2 most recent Farm CEOs who purchased my farm business support products. The offer comes in 2 parts outlined below:
Dear All,
Our phone discussion regarding my farm business support products that you purchased refers.
I offer you the following 2-in-1 combination of specially discounted solutions to support you at this early startup phase of your farm business operation.
Get FREE Customization of your Excel-VB Poultry Farm Manager for ONE YEAR (Save over N150k)
Over the course of ONE full year, I will modify your Farm’s Excel-VB Poultry Farm Manager to meet any additional needs we identify and agree on for your farm business.
This includes accommodating the various aspects of daily best practice operational needs you have.
This will ensure you and your team members have ready access to required documents, farm record forms and reports that will be auto generated for use from custom interfaces in the app.
Get One year Basic Web Marketing Support to boost name/brand recognition and attract profitable paying bulk buyers for your Farm (Save Over N150k)
If you take up FREE customization above, (I,e offer 1), you will get items 1 to 4 of my Web Marketing System shown in the mind map image attached to this email (wms-pricing.jpg) – completely FREE for 1 full year (you purchase domain/hosting with me) – to boost your marketing reach and impact.
I consider it crucially important to quickly and unceremoniously get kids OVER the feeling of awe that tends to overtake many of them in our part of the world, when they gain initial access to what are now increasingly affordable and often fancy mobile devices and gadgets (e.g. smartphones, tablets, laptops and computers) abundant in marketplaces today.
Most photos and videos of the various skills they were taught were recorded using this phone of hers.
Sadly, about a week later, she dropped this device into the bowl of soap water in which she was washing clothes, and the touch screen stopped working. We never got it fixed.
Today, I got her a Lenovo smartphone as replacement, mainly because they will need it to record what they are taught in the new hairdressing training they are to start.
However, I’ve made it clear she must resume her daily online business tasks execution, and ensure she hits the required DAILY points, if she wants to keep the phone and have the Internet browsing data subscription renewed.
If she does this for long enough, she will earn commissions from the online business, effectively paying for herself to continue using it. That’s the same approach I use with the 2 older brothers who have been told similar thing. So they know there is no free ride in a fancy car for them!
[I began sending THIS promotional offer to clients last year (2016). This year, I’ve thrown in the bonus of a FREE 3 to 5 minute Business Marketing Trailer Video]
Would you like to build your own Digital Passive Income Generating Information Product in YOUR area of proven knowledge/competence/expertise, BUT worry that you may lack time/training to START, and FINISH it?
If you said YES to the Above, This Offer May Interest You
Here is an example of titles I proposed each client consider (based on what I’d seen of their individual brands and personalities):
Secrets for Successful Pig Farm Business Startup & Operation (True Story)

Why Am I Making This Kind of Offer?
Simple.
I am on a mission to SHOW others that they can also achieve the kind of success I enjoy via Passive Income Streams generation using my branded Digital Cash Flow Generating Assets.
To achieve my purpose, I want to have 2 persons (who take up this offer) to serve as MODELS of what is possible…
If YOU begin earning passive income using the cash flow/passive income generating asset I build for you, others will BELIEVE it is possible.
Then they will be motivated to take PERSONAL ACTION to do what you’re doing, thereby empowering themselves to be financially independent.
When YOU, and others who are so impacted succeed, I WILL naturally succeed as well, because you would provide REAL LIFE testimonial case studies for me to point out to MORE potential clients!

Do you ignore efforts to Identify and Stop Domestic Violence Against Men (DVAM)? Let’s hope your silence (or indifference) does not cause your son, brother, uncle, dad or other male loved ones to suffer like those who tell their stories on batteredmen dot com featured below:
=
“It(DVAM) doesn’t happen.” “It only happens to a few guys–puny, little guys.” “Women who batter only do it in self-defense.” “I wonder what he did, to make her do that?”
There are a lot of myths floating around.
In these pages, we present men’s stories, in their own words.
Story 1:
Another man, whose story is not here e-mailed me:
“I have a problem.
I feel that, if I report my wife, I will be the one that winds up in custody.
When I mentioned dialing 911 while my wife was hitting me with a skilet this morning, she told me to “Go ahead – I will just tell them that I was defending myself”.
Story 2:
“My wife—in one of her drunken rages—took our daughter’s baseball bat and used it to smash the locked door to my study, where I was trying desperately to meet a deadline. And since I’m over 6 feet tall and muscular, I wouldn’t get much sympathy posing as a “battered man!”: I had thought of calling the police that night. When I recalled this incident to my divorce lawyer some time later, his response was: “It’s a good thing you didn’t, because the police probably would have arrested you.”

If you want to sell successfully, and for the long term, in a manner that is sustainable, you need to LEARN how to DEMONSTRATE to potential buyers, that solutions you offer are exactly what s/he needs. I offer ideas (and support) you can use below.
Since, most times, especially when using the web, it is unlikely that you will get a chance to speak to, and convince, a potential buyer via face to face interactions, the reality is that you will need to put in place a system that enables you to say ENOUGH of what you normally need to say, remotely, to win him/her over.
From 2005, when I decided to come online (via spontaneousdevelopment.com – now defunct), to begin offering my products and services via the web, the above stated goal (of winning total strangers over as buyers without face-to-face meeting) dominated my thinking.
NB: This PI Squared newsletter will be published weekly, on Mondays, in place of the Speaking/Web Marketing IDEAS newsletter, starting from today – 15th February 2016. I’m reinventing my Monday newsletter content and theme, to accommodate my vision of serving the growing audience of serious minded individuals and organizations reaching out to me, with information, education. news and research findings designed to help them do what they do better.

PII 063: You Can Use Video Marketing to Attract Profitable Buyers For Your Products [Hint: Get Ideas & Support]
If you want to sell successfully, and for the long term, in a manner that is sustainable, you need to LEARN how to DEMONSTRATE to potential buyers, that solutions you offer are exactly what s/he needs. I offer ideas (and support) you can use below.
Since, most times, especially when using the web, it is unlikely that you will get a chance to speak to, and convince, a potential buyer via face to face interactions, the reality is that you will need to put in place a system that enables you to say ENOUGH of what you normally need to say, remotely, to win him/her over.
From 2005, when I decided to come online (via spontaneousdevelopment.com – now defunct), to begin offering my products and services via the web, the above stated goal (of winning total strangers over as buyers without face-to-face meeting) dominated my thinking.
You see, I’d gone though a lot of stress, inconvenience and hardship using conventional door to door salesman-style pavement pounding marketing methods to win clients.
And it was just not working well enough for the kinds of solutions I offered.
I was getting too few clients and they were paying just too little, compared to the time and effort I always had to invest in return for what they paid me.
One example: In 2008, I recall getting paid N40,000.0 for a job that took me all of 2 months to complete – and I mean every day of those 2 months, in which I would leave home as early as 6.00a.m to drive down to the home based small scale factory premises of the client, where I would then work, on site, from 7.30a.m till sometimes well past midnight – after which I would drive about 45 minutes to get back home, and repeat the same routine the next day.
Yep. I worked a lot like that back then, because it took so much hard work to find new client work, with people willing to pay anything worthwhile.
But I always knew there had to be a better way.
So I began to research alternative ways to make sales. As time went on, I came up with the idea of selling products I’d worked so hard to create for other clients. This option had the distinct advantage of getting me paid without my having to commit to the crazy on site work regimen of building new apps or website for clients.
In case you wonder why I had to work on site…
It was not all the time. But there were often times when the nature/scope of work made it smarter to offer clients the option to pay less, if they covered my electricity/fueling costs.
For instance, as recently as last week, I received payment from a Farm CEO, who has still NOT met face to face with me, for 5 of my products, which he purchased via a time limited promotional offer I emailed to him.
This gentleman had done a Google search that led him to watch Video Demonstrations of my products and he’d then submitted a web form enquiry to request details about how to buy them.
2. I replied using my generic template, asking him to call me, so I could ask him a few questions. The next day, he did that, and after I’d gotten satisfactory answers to the questions I asked him. I told him the prices for the products he’d asked about, and later sent him the email offer. That night, he sent full payment via bank transfer, and notified me via email.
3. Once I confirmed the payment, I prepared personalized copies of the products and emailed them to him.
The process I’ve just described above is the Sales Cycle that most of my buyers go through; based on the automated Web Marketing System I propagate using the web. Central to the operation and success of this system is an intelligent use of smart (not fancy!) Video based Marketing.
It is worth noting here that over 80% of my sales today come as a result of exposure of prospective buyers to my Video Marketing.
Not just that, I have clients in my network who have gotten referrals from me, through my system that led them to make money.
For instance, last month, a prospective pig farm business CEO who purchased my Feed Formulation Handbook and Software, asked me for help in locating a reliable Pig Farm Business Owner/Consultant that he could connect with for guidance, towards successful startup.
I wasted no time in referring him to a member of my Farm Business Ideas club who I knew owned a Pig Farm Business in a large Farm Settlement (Gberigbe) in Lagos. They have since met face to face – money has changed hands between both parties, and I understand they are looking to do more business together.
The irony of it all is that I STILL have NEVER met face to face with the prospective Pig Farm Business owner. What a great way to make a difference and an impact: I LOVE It!
But what makes it possible for me to work this way today, and NEVER again need to do all that manual labour I used to do, to find customers?
It’s my strategic use of Video Marketing, based on an elaborate Web Marketing System I conceived, to boost name/brand recognition and win credibility/trust in the mind of prospects
People want to be SURE that you can help them. Video Marketing is a particularly potent medium for SHOWING people what you can do, and how it can help them.
But there is no one-size-fits-all approach for use of this technique. Each person will have to think creatively about how to make it work for him/herself. The way I use it may not be the best way for you to use it.
That’s why I offer to help any business owners who are interested in creative smart TIMELESS marketing videos that NEVER expire, to promote their products and services.
I do it, and it wins me paying clients internationally, without my having to pay for any advertising. Examples of videos I use include the following:
Example: How to Correct Excess Energy Content in a Livestock Ration [Feed Formulation Home Study Video Series]
I use the video below THIS screenshot to show prospective buyers excerpts of what my Feed Formulation Handbook offers.
To get the results I do, all I do is to DILIGENTLY use the rest of my Web Marketing System to propagate the video marketing resources I create. Note that HOW I do it is however the reason I succeed in making REPEAT sales without needing to leave home!
What I do is something ANY business owner can successfully do for his/her brand, IF s/he knows how. I offer to do it for you, or coach you to do it yourself, if you are interested.
Over the past 14 years, I’ve developed custom Web Marketing Systems (WMS) for clients in a wide variety of industries e.g. real estate, audiology/hearing and speech improvement, medical consulting, real estate investing, leadership consulting, health and fitness, hospitality (hotels, restaurants, and bars), legal consulting and others.
My multidisciplinary aptitude equips me to work with clients in virtually any industry, handling ALL their Web Marketing needs remotely, anonymously, confidentially.
I can do the same for you!
Like I explain using the mind map I created, Video Marketing is one of the 9 key components of a WMS that can be used to take one’s business marketing to the next level. If THAT is what you want for your brand,

[IMPORTANT NOTE:====
On 4th May 2014, Tayo’s 9 year old domain (Spontaneousdevelopment dot com), which hosted his website, was taken over by Aplus.net.
Within a few days however, Tayo used his advanced self-taught web development skills to build a SUPERIOR “reincarnation” of it the website http://www.tayosolagbade.com.
But updates are still ongoing to URLs bearing the old domain name in most of the over 1,000 web pages, and blog posts he’s published.

This week I formally announce the availability of the 2016 Excel-Visual Basic Automation Club Home Study Tutorial Archives DVD. As I hinted in a previous post, this product is a compilation of ALL the text and video based tutorials I’ve sent out over the past year, since the launch of my Excel Heaven Visual Basic Automation club.
The promise I made to members of the club was to share my expertise with them via the coaching tutorials I send out, not just with regard to Excel-VB coding, but also in the area of marketing one’s products and services as provider of custom Excel-VB Automation solutions.
Below is a screen shot from an email enquiry I received from a Farm CEO, who expressed interest in buying my 3 flagship products – the Feed Formulation Handbook, Poultry Farm Manager and Ration Formulator.
That gentleman has since gone on to make payment for all 3 products (in addition to 2 others I offered at a discounted bonus) – and I’ve since delivered them via email to him.
TIP: In tomorrow’s issue of my Performance Improvement Ideas newsletter, I’ll share insights from my use of Video Marketing to attract profitable paying customers for my products, for years.
As we approach 1st May 2017, to begin a new year in the life of the club, I want members and those aspiring, to know that there is a LOT to be learned.
You can also become competent in Excel-VB coding and the marketing of what you do, in a way that enables you make money like I do.
But it takes work – and a lot of dedication. You need to be willing to invest emotionally in this venture, if you want to succeed at it.
To make it easier for yourself to progress, you must embrace every opportunity to learn that comes your way. I recommend you start by purchasing a copy of this new DVD compilation. it offers you an opportunity to learn the basics I’ve presented via my Experiential Coaching based system.
Excerpts from this Wikipedia article offer insights into just how imbalanced the reporting and understanding of Domestic Violence Against Men (DVAM) really is….!
Violence by women against men is widespread and underreported. The official figure in the United Kingdom, for example, is about 50% of the number of acts of violence by men against women, but there are indications that only about 10% of male victims of female violence report the incidents to the authorities, mainly due to taboos and fears of misunderstanding created by a culture of masculine expectations.[9]
A report from Canada even found men to be more than 22% more likely to be victims of spousal violence than women.[9][10] Sexual violence by women against men is even more taboo and even less studied or recognized.[11]
Men who are victims of domestic violence are at times reluctant to report it or to seek help. There is also an established paradigm that only males perpetrate domestic violence and are never victims.[26] As with other forms of violence against men, intimate partner violence is generally less recognized in society when the victims are men.[27][28]
Violence of women against men in relationships is often ‘trivialized'[3][29][30] due to the supposed weaker physique of women; in such cases the use of dangerous objects and weapons is omitted.[3] Research since the 1990s has identified issues of perceived and actual bias when police are involved, with the male victim being negated even whilst injured.[31]
Writing for TIME, Cathy Young (http://time.com/3432838/emma-watson-feminism-men-women/) criticised the feminist movement for not doing enough to challenge double standards in the treatment of male victims of physical abuse and sexual assault.[22]
