HOW JAY-Z DOES THE DREAM 100
Have you ever wanted to send a gift to get the attention of your Dream 100 but haven't been able to figure out what to send?

If so, Jay-Z's fundraiser campaign for his Shawn Carter Foundation Gala serves as a great example of how to make huge waves with the Dream 100.

Side note: As you read Jay-Z's story, ask yourself why his choice of gift worked so well. The answer isn't as obvious as it might seem…

Moving beyond the conventional approach of soliciting donations through direct appeals, Jay-Z opted for a strategy that not only stood out but also spoke directly to the caliber of his targeted audience.

Rather than sending out low-cost tokens in the hope of securing donations, Jay-Z sent select VIPs an extravagant package: $15,000 Rolex Daytona watches accompanied by bottles of his own luxury champagne. 

While many saw it as Jay-Z simply showing off, marketers realized it was a calculated move to engage the affluent and influential people on his Dream 100.

Four huge outcomes of Jay-Z sending these items:

1. He knew that the people on his Dream 100 are regularly inundated with requests for financial contributions. Getting them to support his foundation would require more than the usual effort.

2. A gold Rolex does more than just cut through the noise; it delivers a message of exclusivity and mutual high regard, positioning the Shawn Carter Foundation Gala as an event not to be missed.

3. When recipients like Meek Mill and Swizz Beatz showcased their VIP gifts on social media, they inadvertently served as ambassadors for the cause, generating buzz among their combined 20 million followers. 

This public display of gratitude and the exclusivity of being part of Jay-Z's inner philanthropic circle undoubtedly encouraged others to contribute, amplifying the foundation's reach and impact.

4. By sending gifts of significant value, Jay-Z essentially set the stage for generous donations to his foundation. 

The real secret to the success of Jay-Z's plan

On the face of it, the extravagance of buying guests $15,000 Rolexes is what made this a success.

But, what do you think would have happened if instead of the $15,000 watches, Jay-Z bought them all run-down $150,000 houses on the outskirts of New York City?

It wasn't the price tag that made this a success, it was the wow factor.

If you want to implement this in your business, you don't need to send out expensive gifts, you need to send them a gift that will wow them.

Obviously, doing this isn't the easiest thing in the world. You need to unlock proven tactics and hear more case studies. This two options below will give you just that:

HOW TO BUILD A SHOCKINGLY SIMPLE MARKETING FLYWHEEL

How do you build a simple marketing system that drives lots of organic traffic to your funnel?

According to this ingenious marketing flywheel, all it takes is four simple steps absolutely anyone can follow. 

Starting with…

Step 1: Ignite The Flywheel

The initial step is to do something simple that people in your audience will be interested in.

For example, you could share a marketing tactic on Reddit that drives 20 leads to your funnel…

Or, you could help a client lose x lbs in x days…

Or, you could bake a cake for a customer that they say is the best they have ever tasted.

Step 2: Share Your Success Story

The next step is to then broadcast your achievement. 

Sticking with the marketing tactic, you could write a blog post, create a video, or share a social media post detailing "How a simple marketing tactic helped me generate 20 new leads in 1 hour".

Being a case study, this post will attract a lot of interest from people wanting to find out exactly how you did it. This in turn will drive even more leads to your business.

Step 3: Share Your Success Story Success Story

What do you do next?

Write a blog post, create a video, or share a social media post broadcasting this achievement.

For the marketing tactic, it might be "How a 4 minute video helped me generate 100 new leads".

For the weight loss example, it might be "The 3 tricks I used to help 3 clients lose x% of their body fat in x days".

For the baking example, it might be "53 customers say this one muffin is the key to their happiness".

Step 4: Rinse and Repeat

The beauty of the marketing flywheel lies in its repeatability. 

Each step generates new customers and new case studies.

Again, because they're case studies, they inspire trust in the person viewing your content which naturally generates more leads.

It creates a self-sustaining loop of growth and exposure, driving more traffic and, subsequently, more success.

You are more than capable of getting one case study, right?

That's all you need to get started.

Once you have that case study, you have everything you need to create a flywheel that can't be stopped!

All you need to do is share in the right place so your ideal customers see it.

TRIVIA ANSWER
One technique Hotmail used that drove incredible growth was to include a simple signature at the end of every email sent out by its users that read "Get your free email at Hotmail". 

This was one of the first known uses of this technique. It naturally leveraged viral marketing and led to a rapid increase in its user base.
