I’ll inform you a narrative of how I discovered about sustainable natural advertising and marketing and the way I discovered to make use of it. Let’s begin.
The start
As soon as a well known businessman invited me over. After showcasing his huge property—a big backyard and home—he recommended we sit by the fountain. By the way in which, it was remarkably lovely. The generously splashing water created an ideal ambiance for dialog.
The businessman, comfortably settled in his chair, posed a query that ceaselessly modified my understanding of enterprise, gross sales, and advertising and marketing. The query was: “Alex, in your opinion, why do rich folks like fountains?”
Pff…
“What nonsense…” I assumed to myself. Am I some form of Einstein to be answering such questions?
Is that this some form of take a look at???? A quuuuiz? Is it associated to enterprise since I’m speaking to a businessman? And also you, reader, what do you concentrate on it?
Sure, sure, reply me! Whyyyy do the wealthy love fountains?
The place is your reply?
M?
Since I didn’t know what to reply then, I requested for a proof.
The businessman smiled and said, “Fountains symbolize an limitless move of cash or a relentless supply of shoppers. Metaphorically talking, to grow to be profitable, you’ll want to construct a digital fountain on-line that spurts shoppers, producing steady gross sales day and evening.”
That’s not all.
After loading a Google search, the speaker revealed the laaaaargest pure fountain on the planet and a geyser you could find in Switzerland.
Additionally talked concerning the well-known Trevi Fountain in Rome, the place vacationers throw over 1,000,000 EVEEERY YEAR, penny by penny. Gatsby himself can be envious.
As if that wasn’t sufficient, the speaker started to clarify how fountains work. He displayed diagrams, applied sciences, working ideas…
I discovered that there are two sorts of fountains/sources:
a) Some require electrical energy and fixed upkeep, costing A LOT OF MOOOONEY;
b) Others, pure fountains, gush ‘organically’ as a result of somebody as soon as DIIIIIGGED A DEEP WELL IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
I hope you understood the metaphors. What’s a deep properly? In enterprise, you can even create a deep properly, in the appropriate place. Or you’ll be able to create it within the fallacious place.
A very powerful message is that if you wish to promote your organization, it’s finest to take action utilizing an promoting technique that may require VERY LITTLE upkeep within the FUTURE… BECAUSE the much less upkeep it wants, and the extra the fountain spurts, the extra profitable you’re, OF COURSE, IF YOU ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO SELL.
I repeat, the much less upkeep is required, and the extra the fountain of web site guests spurts, the extra profitable you’re, OF COURSE, IF YOU ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO SELL.
Oh sure, the SPEAKER’s phrases shocked me. I assumed, “What if I create a CONSTANT supply/fountain that spurts broadly and HIIIIIGH? BECAUSE on this case, I received’t must promote extra, simply serve?”
This thought was engaging as a result of I used to be already fed up with gross sales. You received’t imagine it, however at the moment, I used to be promoting companies within the metropolis heart like an strange vendor. Driving down the principle avenue of my metropolis with a trolleybus, I hawked shops, yelling, “Does anybody want a web site?!”, “Does anybody want a web site?!” Eh…
I provided web site creation companies as if I have been promoting cucumbers. Properly, all the things occurs… Since I didn’t like such aggressive gross sales, the thought of a fountain of shoppers gave me hope and helped create a imaginative and prescient. I PROOOMISED MYSELF THAT I WOULD CREATE A SOURCE OF CLIENTS, THAT CLIENTS WOULD FIND ME THEMSELVES AND SEND EMAILS, RATHER THAN ME SEARCHING FOR THEM. I made a decision to do all the things to realize this aim. I wished to start out instantly, so I requested the speaker to clarify the right way to create the fountain he talked about. However he redirected the dialog, as if unwilling to offer away the final socks (the largest secrets and techniques of success)
Bidding farewell to the speaker, I emphasised that I favored his fountain and that it was lovely, and I left.
First attempt
On the identical day, I started to understand the right way to create a buyer supply that may require as little upkeep as doable.
I acquired sick with the thought and devoted a number of months to it. What do you assume occurred subsequent? Properly, nothing… I didn’t create any buyer supply…
I nonetheless didn’t understand how. I attempted to discover a higher guide or article, however they solely wrote about normal advertising and marketing. I attempted to go to coaching, however they taught me the right way to use paid promoting. In my 20 years in advertising and marketing, I’ve purchased lots of advertisements, however each time I created an advert, I felt like I used to be attempting to persuade those that it was value shopping for. I hated this sense. I wanted one thing extra sincere/actual that acquired different folks to advertise me. I wanted promoting with out promoting, which is feasible by the way in which, however… How?
My need to resolve this thriller was higher than the Statue of Liberty, so I began studying. I learn a whole bunch of articles about promoting. I examined quite a few promoting instruments. One of many instruments was web site optimization—known as website positioning.

I discovered to jot down website positioning articles, ship backlinks to my web site, and… I labored on website positioning for over a yr and… It labored… GOOGLE STARTED FINDING ME IN ITS SEARCH RESULTS FOR FREE!!! Oh, sure!!!
At first, my companies have been targeted on the native market. However I wished them to be discovered overseas, so I made a so-called deeper properly, and the consumer’s fountain began spurting even stronger. (By the way in which, it feels so good that you simply, the reader, perceive metaphors.) Quickly, I acquired guests from the USA, France, Norway, and Monaco. Think about, folks began to seek out me on Google seek for FREE!
Others paid for advertisements, however I didn’t!!!
F**okay paid promoting!
I didn’t pay however acquired orders from firms resembling Journey Visa Professional, Physitrack, and Pivot Capital Fund. Essentially the most attention-grabbing half was that after optimizing the web site, I loved web site visitors for ten years with out paying anybody! I didn’t pay for advertising and marketing or gross sales help; as a substitute, I discovered new enterprise companions.
Though I did nothing for my web site, patrons saved coming, coming, coming—organically.
Since my web site was visited organically, I counsel taking note of the phrase “organically”!
I fell in love together with her: Natural Advertising and marketing…
mmmmmmmm
Solely that which is born organically is ideal…
What varieties organically…
However…
As soon as a complication occurred.
You see, I acquired an e mail from Monaco. An organization registered in Monaco requested to create a web site and a brand. Nevertheless, we didn’t talk clearly by way of telephone, so shoppers recommended that I come to Monaco. I agreed.
Whereas in Monaco, I spotted that all the things occurred as a result of I optimized my web site and used natural advertising and marketing. If I hadn’t achieved website positioning for my web site, nobody would have invited me to Monaco, and I wouldn’t have made new associates. In different phrases, web site optimization helped me discover many associates worldwide.
Realizing all of this, I assumed: “Alex, what when you assist others to be discovered on Google? In any case, I can change folks’s lives. Since I not handled web site creation, I bought my outdated firm and began providing web site optimization companies and extra companies that nobody else was providing. I started creating ongoing sources of shoppers for my shoppers by natural practices. I known as my new firm in honor of a fountain—Huge Fountain Company.”
