Step #1: Pick Up Your Profitable Niche & Find Affiliate Products.
There are “three” ways to do research:
- Use Google Keyword Planner at: https://adwords.google.com/ko/KeywordPlanner
Look into the number of searches per month. If the number of searches per month is a little over 100,000, it does show that weight loss is on high demand.
- Find out if there are advertisers on the products or services you are trying to sell.

- Be very specific on your search.
There is a difference between attracting freebie seekers and potential buyers. If you focus on *Weight Loss*, there is a chance that people are just looking around. When you focus on *Weight Loss Consultant*, those people who go to your website will fall into two categories: (A) Potential clients; (B) Potential Weight Loss Consultant;
Once you have chosen the profitable niche you would like to focus with, you can then choose the right affiliate products to sell.
- Choose High-Quality Affiliate Products to Sell With Meetup.
As you are ready, go ahead and choose “three” different affiliate networks:
- (http://Clickbank.com)
You just need to go to “Marketplace” and choose the right product for your Meetup.
- (http://JVZoo.com)
All you need to do is going to the “Market Place”, search for the right products in your niche and start selling it right away.
- Warrior Plus. ( https://warriorplus.com/)
All you need to do is go to “Market Place”, search for the right products in your niche and start selling it right away.
Step #2: Strategize Facebook & Meetup Posts
Once you have chosen your niche, your next step is to strategize the vision of your Meetup Group. This allows you to create successful events where it will give you result such as:
- Get “die hard” followers for your Meetup Groups.
- Get More People to Attend Each Event You Host.
- Make More Money on Each Event You Host.
Here is the questions you need to ask yourself:
- What is the “main” reasons you decided to host a Meetup Group? — Is this just for fun? Is it for Networking? Is it for networking with same-minded individuals? If it is for networking purposes? Ask yourself the type of people you would like to attract in your life.
- What is the “ONE” thing people are looking for when they join your Meetup Group? — Are they looking for good time? Are they looking to network with others? or Are they looking for something else? Well, if they do look for something else, what is your way to ask them for feedback?
- What is your main concept to build “die hard” followers where they can’t wait to attend your next meetup events? — Do you treat them as a family? Do you look at each attendee as just another face in your event? or Do you make them feel special where they are at your events?
- What is your strategy to motivate your “die hard” followers to tell their friends to come to your next events? — Do you ask for video testimonials? Do you ask your followers to invite their friends? Do you make each attendees feel welcome where they have the need to reciprocate with your kindness?
As you ask these questions to others, here’s some expectation your Meetup members will want to have from each event they attend:
- People want to feel like you treat them like your family members.— Everyone wants to feel love and needed. The more you treat each Meetup members as your family, the more they are willing to participate on your next event. As an organizer, it is important to make each member to say “hi” to one another. This allows each member to feel the “connection” where they will want to come to your next meetup because this or that guy (girl) shows up.
- People want to feel like their times are not wasted. — If you host an event that has to do with improving their health conditions, you need to make sure that the quality of the contents are awesome. If you host an event that dine great foods in a restaurant, you need to make sure the “quality” of the foods are high in quality.
When you focus on these “Two” factors on your Meetup Group with the help of Facebook Group, you are able to grow your Meetup followers, really fast.
The next question is… “Why do you need to utilize Facebook Group?”
It is simple, really. It is to focus on “TWO” simple outcomes:
- Allow your audience to connect with one another. — The more they feel the closeness, the more they will want to meet each other in person. By utilizing Facebook group, you provide the venue where your audience can connect, mingle, and eager to participate in your Meetup group.
- Allow your audience to provide you with their feedbacks. — Unfortunately, 99% of the Meetup organizers do not ask for feedbacks from each follower. This is why they fail. What do you need to do differently?
Well, ask your audience from time to time on what they want the organizer to improve on the next event. You can also create polls such as: “The best time for them to meet up with one another”, “The restaurant they want to try out”, or “The improvement they want to see on your next event or in general”.
NOTE: The more you have your audience to engage with you, the higher your chances to grow your Meetup followers.

Two things to be aware of:
- For the group name, make the name similar with your Meetup Name. This allows you to receive benefits such as: easy search on other social media. It also means that people will start searching your Meetup Group on Facebook search.

Step #7: Make Massive Cash With Meetup.
As you have created your Meetup and integrate it with your Facebook group, let me share with you few steps you need to do to make massive cash with Meetup…
Charge Meetup Fees.
If you have a minimum of 20 people who attend your event, you can charge $3 to $5 per head. This allows you to recover your cost. Plus, it allows you to feel that each event, you are able to get an extra $60 to $100 per event. It also means that if you host 10 times a month, this will give you an extra $12,000 per year.
Get Free Meal From Restaurant.
As an organizer, you can ask the restaurant owner to give you a discount or provide you with free meal by bringing people to their restaurants. — HINT: You can tell the restaurant owner in private on providing you the discount as the host of the event.
Ask Business Owners to Sponsor The Event.
Instead of having to pay for the event, a business owner can pay an organizer an extra $500 to $750 to share information for their businesses. This allows you to grab an extra $5,000 to $7,500 per event you host.
Add “Sponsor” link on your Meetup Group and Facebook Group.
You can have your sponsor to pay you $500 or even $1,000 per month. Basically, it is completely up to you how you want to price your ads. In fact, some people I have met personally told me that it costs up to $30,000 just to put up your ads. Most of the time, those people are not even targeted at all. — HINT: My point is the price of $1,000 is cheaper than $30,000 with the traditional media that cost 30 times and less effective.
- Utilize Private Message on Meetup Features As a way to Raise Cash.
However, it is very important that you don’t abuse this method by emailing your members all the time. What you need to do is… “Utilizing 3-day in a month to raise your Meetup cash flow.” This allows you NOT to be known as a spammer.
Create VIP Membership For Certain Members. — You can create a paid membership for $25, $50, or even $100 per month. Then, create an irresistible offer where your Meetup members will feel more special than the regular members. This allows you to receive an extra $1,000 or even $10,000 per month from Meetup. HINT: Remember, the more VIP members you receive, the more it will motivate regular members to upgrade as a VIP member.
The question is… “What Kind I Offer to VIP Members?”
Example: If you are in a self-improvement niche, you can create an event  where only VIP members can attend. If a regular member would like to be  part of the event, they will have to upgrade.
