This is something I've thought about for a while.

Whether you have a service or product, our biggest problem could be obscurity. Imagine a magical world where you can quickly verify an idea or business asap.

Well........ how do you get as many eyeballs on your business? And how many people need to support your business to enter the realm of Unscription? I can't speak for everyone, but a few hundred customers would establish a baseline for me which is eye opening considering its so close and within reach, yet so far at the same time! I think MJ might of gotten it a bit wrong, even though I love the quote ''impact millions to make millions'' you don't need to impact millions of people to make the magical millions, more like tens of thousands to reach the measly $1,000,000.

And it leads me to think...... the world is such a large place! Never mind all that for now, we can all start by focusing on impacting the thousands around us, so how can we do that? Some easy methods to get out there include...

  1. Street canvassing (talking with thousands of people a day)
  2. Door knocking (brand awareness)
  3. Cold calling (brand awareness)
  4. Flyers & Direct mail (mailing out product/service offers for cheap)
  5. Viral social media content, videos and such (reasons to support your brand)
  6. Getting involved in the community (again reasons to support your brand)
  7. Showcasing your brand on national/global mainstream media (getting as many eyes as possible)
  8. Giving away free product?
My conversions with FB (Oh how I love Zuckerberg) have been quite low at 1-2% despite being ''successful'' and being able to generate leads by donating lots of money to Facebook, I ponder how someone like an Elon Musk, Mark Cuban or Richard Branson type character would act in my space. Surely they wouldn't just sit at home twirling their thumbs hoping some Adwords or Facebook ads bring in sales. So what are some other methods we can efficiently grow our ''brands'' (mini rant I think alot of people think branding is good customer service and slapping on some stupid logo, really it's much more to that.

How can we grow our brands to the likes of Nike, Coca Cola, Redbull, Supreme & Rolls Royces which is just a Chrysler 3000 with fancy leather seats marked up 10000000%?

How would you feel if you woke up one day, and read in the news that Elon or Cuban entered your niche/industry? What would they do differently?

I've gotten some orange gumballs, might be mixing up the colors.... and received some good feedback, but what's the best way to get that coveted GOLD gumball?

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
