You’ve probably heard all the hype by now, especially if you’re signed up to some of the major affiliate marketer’s lists. Butterfly Marketing is the in-phrase; it’s the must-have tool of the century. Is it worth having?
When I tried to market butterflies, I found it very difficult indeed! First of all, they are notoriously difficult to catch, and the effort spent in this regard is very time-consuming. I got it down to 3 hours 47 minutes per butterfly, averaged over a catch of one butterfly.
As supply is not great for these beautiful creatures, each one would have to be sold at quite a high price. My market research showed me that it would be very difficult indeed to market butterflies; people would not be prepared to pay the extremely high price I wanted to charge to sell my butterflies!
It was unbelievable! Butterflies are extremely difficult to get hold of, yet everybody was telling me that they were extremely common! How could I market something like this? It would just be impossible!
I decided that my efforts would be better spent elsewhere!
Just in case you don’t know what this is all about, it’s a parody of a recent product release. Have a look at this site: butterflymarketing.com. I have no idea whether the product is any good, but it is rather expensive at just over US$1000!
