Dear Marketer:
The first year I was in the advertising business, I met with the new sales rep of an AOR (Album Oriented Rock) radio station. While we were meeting I noticed that she seemed to be distracted.
"Is there something wrong?" I asked.
“Well I just found out this morning that I’ve lost my gas trade,” she said.
“Your gas trade,” I repeated. “How does that work?”
She went on to explain that one of her benefits from the station was that they allowed her to trade airtime for gasoline.
“But why would the station owner make such a deal?” I inquired. After all the profit on a gallon of gas is less than five cents.
“Because of the multiple,” she replied. “I am able to offer 3 dollars in advertising time on the station for each dollar of gas. It’s a great deal for me because we also most always have time that has not been sold. And it’s a great deal for the gasoline station owner because he is able to advertise his station for a fraction of what it would normally cost.”
That night, I had visions of buying myself a gas station and making a fortune reselling my airtime credits to my advertising customers. But by breakfast the next morning – I had developed a much better plan.
I called my friend at the station and told her that she had her gas trade back and this time it was an even better deal than before.
“How so?” she inquired.
“Because now you can get your gas anywhere you want.”
“But how is that possible?” she gasped.
“Just get your gas on a credit card and bring the credit card bill to me at the end of the month. I'll write you a check and you write me a credit for three times your purchase price.”
Two things happened that fateful day in 1977. The first thing was that I was able to turn a total stranger into a best friend via barter. The second thing was I turned a business that yielded 15% profits into a business that yielded 66% (whenever I was able to utilize barter).

In order to explain how this happened – let me explain how the advertising agency business operates. Typically, I will place advertising for my client for which the station will allow a 15% commission. In other words, I am able to purchase a dollar's worth of advertising for a client for eighty-five cents. Yielding a 15% profit to me.
But now, when I sold a client $1 in advertising, I was able to yield a profit of $0.66. Look at how the transaction works:
|
On the first dollar I make nothing. |
|
On the second dollar I make $1.00 |
|
On the third dollar I make $1.00 |
|
So for every three dollars my client spends, I make $2.00 or 66%. |
Over time, this can mean an extraordinary amount of profit. For example, for every $100,000 in advertising billing I went from making $15,000 to $66,000 – an increase of 440% for the same amount of effort. The power of barter strikes again!
Over the years, I have kept my bartering secrets pretty close to the vest. But recently I decided that a secret of this magnitude really needs to be shared. It was then that I decided to write this little e-book.
OK, first things first. Can you really barter your way to a six-figure income as the title of this book suggests? I believe you can. And I base this opinion on several indisputable facts.
As I write this letter, there are six young men outside my office door. They are mowing the grass, trimming the hedges, and manicuring our family flower gardens ...
I have bartered our marketing expertise
for each of these services.
I’m sitting in front of a 25” computer screen that was purchased with profits made from barter.
The house I’m sitting in was not bartered – but the down payment on this home came from a small three-bedroom cottage I owned that was paid for entirely from the profits of barter.
If I were to walk up stairs right now, I would see five lovely rooms that were the result of an on-going barter between my wife (a pubic relations expert) and a talented interior decorator.
In addition to these large items, I have bartered fine dining, hotel rooms, wines, clothing, gas, professional services including accounting and legal fees, computers, books, photography, and much more.
Although I don’t have a recollection of every thing I’ve bartered along the way, I am certain my records will show that I’ve generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in extra profits for my company and for my family in the last three decades. And barter will continue to provide similar benefits in the years to come.
And guess what? You can use my secrets of barter to immediately embellish your lifestyle too. That’s because everything I know about bartering is included in my e-book: Out of Thin Air: Bartering Your Way to a Six Figure Income. Yep, it’s all there:

One thing to remember about all barter transactions is that they are not tax-free. I have paid taxes on every gain along the way and you should do the same. One other point – I am not a lawyer, a tax expert, or an accountant – you should direct all technical questions regarding the legality of any barter transaction to these professionals and heed their advice. Moreover, I cannot guarantee the usability of the techniques that follow for any particular purpose.

"OK, but what will it cost me?"
Well, if you were to hire me to consult with you on bartering topics it would cost you $250 an hour…and it would take me at least a day or two to get you pointed in the right direction.
Or you could call me on my private line and I could give you as many tips as I can over the phone. But the cost would still be impractical.
But instead of that, I’m offering you all my secrets in one convenient easy to read e-Book. And instead of hundreds of dollars in consulting fees, the price is just $29.95 – less than I charge for just 6 minutes of my time!
