I did a distribution deal where every new customer I got for my product was auto subscribed (shared) to Agora Financial’s list. Agora then paid me 50% of all products they sold to those peeps. Came out to over $200k/month in free money for me. Agora are experts at email marketing so it was a no brainer. In hindsight they basically used the SMMM on me and I’m glad they did!

Dr Phil crushed it with Oprah’s distribution!!! She’s launched plenty of brands from her distribution. Smart lady.

Super simple distribution is the local guy who has all HIS vending machines in office break rooms around the city.

Or Redbox having displays outside thousands of Walgreens and CVS.

Travis working his Wizardry again 🧙‍♀️

Literally practicing what he’s sharing in this post itself!

Adding immense value, getting shares and getting more distribution (through readers) 💪

Loved the article.

I did the assignment..."Distribution Is Greater Than Product" is now posted on my wall.

I don't always remember which is which... < > so I spelled it out! :)

Please don't leave us hanging on this promise...

"I then built relationships with almost every restaurant/restaurant owner in town…(more distribution) and I worked deals with them getting control of their distribution where I swear I was making more per day in profit than they did running the restaurant selling THEIR PRODUCT.

I’ll shed more light on that another time."

Looking forward to the light!

Thank you!

After reading this post I thought back to when I watched the movie called the social network on how Facebook became the big giant it is today. Started from controlling the attention of a couple thousand college students which then developed into entire states and now countries. Wow. I love your content Travis. You are the GOAT when it comes to providing life changing insights. Thank you sir

Amazon sort of did when they used the roads we ALREADY PAID for and the UPS and fedex companies to distribute all their stuff

Thanks T 💥

I Love reading your posts...

Dominoes now have 5000 (smaller) stores compared to about 500 Pizza Hut large stores...

Domino’s are located mainly in high-density housing locations and in universities and colleges.

Their Business model is 100% based on “People want hot pizza fast” – to do this they have located small ‘delivery’ stores closer to the people - so they can get pizza within 10 to 15 minutes...

Very similar to your DOS example - Microsoft putting Internet Explorer on new PCs back in the early 2000s. The US govt even sued them for creating an unfair monopoly.

Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and AMEX all get a nice little fee to distribute your money to the person you're buying from. Or vice-versa.

Really enjoyed it, Travis! Got a kick out of your blast from the past "Bum Marketing Method" :)!

One obvious example is Netflix. Their whole business was built on distribution that was better than the then standard distribution in the industry when they started. (Blockbuster AKA video rental stores,)

The good old Michelin guide started by the guys that ran the tyre company to encourage motorists - added restaurants to eat and is now a standard of quality. Sold over 30 million guides which started at 7 francs back in 1920.

Squidoo lenses were where I made my first click bank revenue. I remember Bum Marketing Method too but maybe I was late to the party or just chose bad products, but I never made money with this method. I'm still here though Travis and hoping for everything to click into place one day. Thanks for everything you share with us all.
