Hot Damn!
Imagine how well this could work in YOUR business.
Imagine if you really spent time targeting the market (and made a direct response ad instead a weird one).
I’m betting you could get unbelievably targeted traffic for 20-30 cents.
…Especially if you made your ad offer something FREE like a “Shocking Report” or video series.
In fact, you could probably end up building a hell of a list using this tactic.
Speaking of getting a hot list, here’s a sneaky back door link to get List Control! It’s officially closed but I have a few spots open and am sneaking the link to register here: CLICK HERE TO GET SECRET ACCESS

When I saw this in Andy’s Video Boss blog I about crapped myself. Google just hit the jackpot with this one. What a great business decision on their part. It’s now going to be easy for regular people to make commercials on national television for pennies compared to the old costs.
Remember though, make your commercials have a call to action that makes since and is trackable!

Getting traffic nowadays for 20~30 cents is quite a challenge, even with the weirdest of keyword phrases.
I’ve seen your List Control promo, but looks like just an extension of Mass Control… that is, building a relationship with your subscribers.
Keep up the good work Frank!

Frank,
This video was Awesome!!!
I bought Mass Control… Awesome course… 4 day cash machine??? Only thing to give me money thus far!
I just graduated from college, broke without a job or income from my online biz…( I know… Poor ol me… )
So.. Needless to say i’m getting my crap together with some income first to do things the right way… And don’t have the cash at the moment to get list control.
But when I do have the cash and my crap together with a job…. Or other source of income… I’m buying as soon as you give me the option! <thats what I did with Mass Control 2.0 with your up sells off of your Screw Google vid…)
Anywho… Great Content Frank! You really know how to do this biz right! With Trust! With Coolness! — Like A Boss! (tm - Andy Jenkins…)

Pete Mitchell said

I don’t even remember the last time I watched a commercial. With the days of video on demand, hulu and the DVR, why does anyone watch a commercial? Add to the mix cable channels over network TV, and I’m not sure what kind of audience you are really going to get.
Radio ADs still make sense because people listen to the radio while in the car (drive time radio is still prime). Advertising in this medium with a direct response ad and a call to action to a phone number (not web address, remember they are in a car)is still prime advertising. (1 minute spot as a minimum written as a direct response AD.)
Advertising on TV could be a real boom or a real bust. The ad has to compel them to get off the couch or out of bed (in the event of late night ads) and go into their computer to type a URL. While I personally think it is worth a 2k drop to try, I think most marketers are going to get killed here.
For 2k, you could run your own infomercial for a half hour (on some channels even an hour).
In radio, it has always been more profitable to run a weekly radio show for 1/2 hour to hour on the weekend (many stations sell this time)than it was to buy commercials during the week. There is a credibility that you get when you “host” a radio show (or for that matter a TV show)that you don’t get when you simply run an AD.
Saying that you host a show has so much more power than simply running an AD. Just some thoughts.

am March 23 2010 @ 8:04 pm
Frank,
My first reaction was woohoo!
Then I thought about it a little and I think you’ve missed a very important point here, which may well cause a lot of folks to spend a whole bunch of money and not get very much for it. You know, a bit like a newbie affiliate marketer blowing his budget on PPC, until it hurts, and only then starting to analyse it a little better.
TV is a very horizontal medium which, as you quite rightly point out, you can try and verticalize a little by placing your Ad strategically close to a program which you imagine should provide the correct type of audience.
The problem is, a highly vertical affiliate marketing offer Ad is unlikely to be watched with any real interest by people seeking late night entertainment. Most people use the Ads to take a leak or make a coffee. Your visual “click through rate” is likely to be a tiny fraction of 1%.
I suspect the only reason the Ad above was of interest to anyone and got the response it did was because its appeal was very broad and just a teaser appealing to the curiosity of late night viewers. If it had been for an offer that people could say yes or no to, the reaction would have been a lot different.
Methinks much testing is required before committing any of my kids’ inheritance.
Terence.

TV ads in this budget is not all that new, have a look at a company called Spot Runner. They offer a very similar low barrier to entry into TV advertising and the ability to do very targeted selection. They also have hundreds if not thousands of pre-designed professional quality commercials in different categories you can use and change the text to.
We looked at them about a year or two ago when we considered tv.
Some comments I noticed mentioned people do not look at commercials, this is very true but it really isn’t any different than advertising in general. Do you really stop to look at Google, newspaper, banner ads anymore? You pretty much tune them out. It was mentioned this ad received 1,000 visitors to the website, with about 1.3M impressions, that came out to about .01% which is a very low response rate but about $1.30 “cost per click”. This is high for cheap traffic, but really low for competitive markets. A better quality ad or a more compelling offer may see better numbers.

Can’t wait to see how long it’ll be before these independently produced ads are everywhere. Love it, love it, love it.

Weird indeed, where did “Slate Contributor” Seth come up with that whole meaningless retro montage of 50’s propaganda and B-movie out takes? It’s also kind of ironic that we would get a how-to on using Google for TV ads (to build lists and sell stuff) from random guy at Slate that has “no particular product to sell” (but apparently a nice little ad budget to burn on “experiments”.)
Anyway good post, thanks Frank.

The great thing about putting stuff up on the tube, rather than just video sharing sites, is that TV viewers are far more passive - they’ll likely sit there and keep watching rather than click away in 2 nanoseconds.
Google have made such an easy to use interface I can see this taking off with even the larger corporations - the ad agencies are going to be spitting feathers.

Hey Frank,
As Vice President Joe Biden said… “this is a big F…ing deal.”
Actually, we won’t know if it id a Good or a Bad “F…ing Deal”
until we TEST the commercials (or until we TEST Healthcare based on
new medical standards written by lawyers such as scummy Joe Biden
and the Secretary of HHS Sebelius (great friend of the Trial Lawyers.)
While this sounds like a Good F… Deal, the numbers include the
“views” of TV listeners like me who NEVER see or hear ads because of DVR …
because WE FAST Forward through ALL commercials.
BTW, If Slate.com (or SlateV.com) was looking for a spot where
their commercial would work, they should have gone with
CNBC or shows like Jesse Ventura, the conspiracy nut
or any of the Blame America First shows (or ANY show highly
regarded by the loons at Slate…)

Hi Frank,
That was an interesting video and just shows how thinking out of the box and doing something different works really well as you stand out from the crowd!
I would love to get a copy of List Control but have had a really expensive week!
I rent out two houses and the washing machine packed up in the first so cost me £230 for a new one…then the second house needs a new door multi lock (£240) and a new boiler…arghhh….£2100. So I have no money left in the savings now!!
I am just launching some stuff myself in a much smaller way though so as soon as I have the cash I will pop back and see if you still have it available.
So I am now going to think out of the box to raise some cash..hehe.

Have fun,
Mike

We’ve been planning a campaign for CopynProfit.com with TV for a while…it’s just a LOT of hard work to figure out what spots will actually yield SOLID buyers…too many of the ads result in people who just have time to kill. Not saying it doesn’t work - I’ll still be running some ads with this, but just letting everyone know that this is hard work and testing just like everything else - it’s actually easier for us in the make money kinda niche than most others too!
So Frank, do I smell a ‘TV Control’ coming up?

We started doing Google TV ads over a year ago, we were part of their initial beta group, and we were able to help them redesign some of their reporting features. Its come a long way since the first days already. I will say, its awesome, we’ve loved every minute of it! It works great, and even the little guys can affored to do some TV advertising. I get better cost returns on my TV ads than I do on my PPC ads…easy!
The TV networks are hungry for content, I’ve even been able to run my ads on Bloomberg TV, prime time, and not had to pay through the nose…
Start your bids out very low, you’ll be surprised how often your ad still runs.
They even have people who will design your ads for you, or they have very cool wizards to help you design ads as well.
We’ve mostly run 30 second ads, and one minute ads, but have even run some 2 minute ads, and we are now in the process of rolling out a complete 30 minute infomercial! (A nice way to step up into larger and larger campaigns.)
Google TV has been good to us!

This is great indeed.
However, it’d be interesting to see the campaing Results. In the video mentions the cost to be 1,300 or so, right?
Few questions come to mind:
1. How many leads where generated?
2. What’s your conversion rate?
3. What’s the campaing actual ROI?
This is good for massive advertisement and YES you could build a big list out of it but again, your market is too broad, you are targeting EVERYBODY, you still need to turn all this trafic into leads and then those leads into buyers.
You still need good market research and a great Product and WebSite before you go out and start broadcasting TV Ads like that. I mean, the idea is great and it is awesome what you can do these days from your living room and but there’s a lot of other variables involed not just creating the Ad.
Just my 2 cents.
Lucas Kalisher said
am March 24 2010 @ 12:54 pm
Ok, Google has been playing with this idea for awhile now. Having been a DRTV insider for the better part of a decade. This is not as easy as it looks. And my guess the reason he got the traffic that he did was because of the ambiquity of his ad. Personally– not all impressed with his numbers.
That being said, here is a little advice if you are going to do this:
Now if you are going to do an ad make sure your product has mass appeal and make sure you have significant mark ups on the intial product — at least 5X. DRTV is not cheap… This is 2 of the biggest mistakes that people make when getting in to DRTV.
Make sure you clearly show the features, benefits, advantage and emotional appeal that a product provides a customer. In addition, your DR ad can also tell a story that results in the customer having a great emotional attachment to the message as well as communicate Unique Selling Proposition and build credibility. If you have a problem solving product then Demostrate it solving the problem.
Follow Franks advice in Mass Control and List Control when creating these ads and you will be spot on. Frank teaches these techniques better then any one I have seen.
Ultimately DRTV creates a marketing vehicle that creates sales, builds brand while directly being able to track sales to specific media buys. Make sure that you track you media buys so that the results of the dollars spent can be directly tied and measured to sales. You will need to track Cost per order per media buy as well as MER (Media Efficiency Ratio). Know what your break even CPO and MER is before you start buying media. That way you have something to grade your results by.
Finally, those that make big money in DRTV I mean big $$, have a strong back-end — mining there list regularly with both emails and telesales reps using a fronter closer model. One of the most successful models for DRTV is to use DRTV as a way to build a qualified list by having customers make a smaller front end purchase and then selling a higher priced back-end products.

Thanks again Frank,
Your messages are almost always a breath of fresh air.
I had known about Google buying and then reselling radio remainders… guess it was only a matter of time before they worked out a deal with the TV guys as well.
Buying remainders (ad space that was not sold) has always been a cost effective way to get your message on to the very expensive airwaves that few knew about… but the advertisers on late night radio and late night television have been taking advantage of this for years.
Now Google has figured out a way to be the middle man and make a profit for themselves again… who said that capitalism was dead?
Now I just have to figure out something that I want to air on the TV screen!

Frank - can’t believe you are from MY HOMETOWN - the lovely Macon, Georgia. Hey, coming back home for the Cherry Blossom Festival this week? The town bloomed overnight with a boom to hot weather and the pollen is high, bring back memories? sniff! sniff! Hey, did you ever eat in the downtown diner by the Med Center that fed the Allman Bros. band before they were famous called H&H with a wonderful cook that you pay afterwards IN THE country KITCHEN, called Mama Louise? I’ll just bet she knows you! One of the Allman Bros. band was in there the other day when we were eating and that was pretty cool. Nuff said about that!
This video is just Frank Kern style - thinking out of the box is what you do best! When I saw your email I was hoping that Google had changed its stance on slapping all of us little affiliates and banning us for life - so Google is not as cool yet as I would like it to be.

More TV! Oh my God! I’m in China and they have ad segments before a program, they never put ads on during sport. Love it. But before shows and after programmes they put the ads. It’s great. Many people only watch the ads. Just a little onscreen ads is coming now. I don’t watch commercial TV and as Einstein said,”TV is the greatest time waster ever invented.” But I could advertise that on TV, what Einstein said and afford it and get traffic. Thanks for the heads up. You’re the man.

Though most of us commenting on this blog are not “normal” (don’t watch TV/Ads), we must remember that many in our target markets still watch TV and the ads.
With a compelling CTA/offer, using the medium is now possible for the small time business. This Google program, combined with the video editing assistance of programs like Video Boss, lets us play with the big boys without getting ground up in their machine.

Frank, this is the best thing I’ve seen since List control, and second best thing you’ve done. If they use the techniques you talk about, their TV ad’s will be a success. 90% of most TV ad’s are C==P. They don’t care about people, they have no value to anyone, except agencies that get part of the costs.
As soon as I get my website and book launched, I’ll try a late night ad or two. I’ll use the techniques I learned in large part from you

Hi Frank,
I am in love with your work. If I could be in List Control I would, but I’m on the other side of cash flow right now….however, I am hell bent to learn your stuff and turn that around -
SO….I am analyzing every single thing of yours I got through the Core Influence campaign, and on your blog. I cut and pasted every email and blog entry, and am transcribing all your videos, taking notes from every clue you give and watching every little thing you do. I am making a big map and laying out all of the text to use for cut and paste (only because you gave free permission to do that) I “get” your psychology and I think I can pull this off….and I have found a GREAT market and an expert in the field to partner with me.
I HAVE ONE SMALL REQUEST!!!!
I downloaded the 4 day cash machine but was unable to catch the instructional video before you turned it off. I am hoping this is the “referral link” software that I need to build my list. PLEASE will you let me see the instructional video - or send me the instructions, I don’t know how to use the files as is. (I have alot of internet experience however and I bet I can do it with a little instruction.)
THANK YOU SO MUCH in advance….
And …not to take up too much of your time, but I am going to master this technique and I am going to use it to turn this world around. I have been rallying people for 30 years, but found that peace lovers are a terrible demographic to market to, they not only don’t pay, they are looking for handouts! I was able to unite thousands of peace orgs globally and form great coalitions to get them helping and supporting one another - but they don’t get alot done. After all these years, and Obama’s help, the mainstream is finally “into it” and I need some powerful marketing to get the show on the road while the window is there - we have all the technologies, we know where all the hungry kids are, theres plenty of food out there, we have all the tools…we have everything we need. People just need clear direction. With your techniques I KNOW I can rock this planet.
So there you have it. Any tips or clues, and especially the referral link info would help me out so much - and then when the cash rolls in, I’ll be back to get some help from the BOSS MAN.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING!
Saphir Lewis

It’ll challenge and inspire ya, bet ya! I have listened to all your crazy guru stuff for over a year. Learned lots, laughed often, and am glad that you have found genuine personhood. Being a real person instead of a shell, is the only way to live. It can be harder but it is SOOO worth it. This book addresses alot of what you talked about in your video. I only ask that you keep an open mind through out. It’s got weirdness right up your alley. I’d love to know what you think. Enjoy the read!

To me the comment Frank made was far more provocative than the video. Or, taken together the powerful point is that customer acquisition costs (or if you prefer subscriber acquisition costs) are vastly higher offline than online. If just 30% of the visitors to the site subscribed to a list, we are talking about $1,300 for just 300. There are higher ROI marketing/advertising mediums out there and needless to say email marketing is among the highest. That’s why some of the blueprints we share with people go over monetizing lists through a strong relationship marketing strategy plus the right domain (which can significantly increase conversions!)

Hi, I have to say I am dubious unfortunately. How do you control production values, how could a shaky, blurring poorly presented advert make it on prime time TV if someone has no idea how to make a proper video commercial.
The proof of course is in the pudding and seeing if this actually works, so I suppose all you can do is try it and see. Maybe Google, prioritizes those ads that are more professional looking compared those that are not and then those get shown in better slots maybe?

FROM: HARO (Help a reporter out)
SUBJECT:
Public Policy and Government
41) Summary: Poll shows majority oppose FCC Internet Regulation
Name: Phillip Britt (Heartland Institute)
Category: Public Policy and Government
Email: query-9s1@helpareporter.com
Media Outlet: Heartland Institute
Deadline: 07:00 PM EST - 28 April <— looking for feedback for a new story
Query:
A Rasmussen Reports poll released in April showed that, for the
first time, a majority of Americans oppose the Federal
Communications Commission regulating the Internet. The poll
asked: “Should the Federal Communications Commission regulate the
Internet like it does radio and television?” the breakdown was:
27 percent said “yes,” 53 percent said “no,” and 19 percent said
“not sure.” That is not a small gap, but a gaping chasm that
indicates that the public is not listening to the well-funded
leftie groups like Free Press and Public Knowledge, and is
strongly against the aggressive regulatory plans Julius
Genachowski has been pushing since becoming chairman of the FCC.
As Tech Liberation Front notes, that puny 27 percent “yes” in the
latest poll “represents a stunning 22-point drop in support for
federal regulation of the Internet since a June 2008 poll by
Rasmussen, which asked the exact same question. Why has public
opinion has swung so far against FCC regulation of the Internet.
Is it at all related to the general sense that the Obama
administration is regulatory happy and trying to do too much too
soon? Is the length (400 pages) of the national broadband plan
that a factor? And since “net neutrality” is now becoming the
lynchpin of Genachowski’s reform plans, does this mean that the
public is moving toward the free-market argument against net
neutrality? What happened between June 2008 and today that would
explain such a dramatic swing in public opinion? And what do you
think the advocates of net neutrality will do to get the public
back on their side?
Pretty cool huh??
Lets stay in touch

This is quite interesting!!! The bridge between old and new is being created as opposed to making TV ads obsolete!
Although, I currently am not yet positioned to outlay $1300 on an ad, I can definitely see the value in what Google is doing!!!
Thanks for sharing Frank.
