If I Gave You Valuable Information Would You Use It?
If you have ever bought and actually went through one of my products before or even my abundance of free information, then you know I am all about over delivering and providing the best value for both your time and money…
They both have a cost, you see my time is valuable and so is yours
I respect that and I genuinely care about you and your success…
Then why aren’t you successful? (yes, I know some of you are)
It’s because you’re NOT doing enough of your part…
Do you really make the best use of your time? How valuable is your time?
If you’re like most, sadly – you don’t
I can tell you exactly what to do, but if you don’t actually consume the information (which looses most people)
Then actually take action on it (by now 98% of the people are gone to the next thing)
How the heck are you going to make any money? …if you have the answer to that then please let me know
For instance in my last blog post I gave away 3 potential full time businesses that wouldn’t really require much work to get going. I could have charged $1,000 for that same information and maybe I will once I really got it all down, yet I’m willing to bet most of you didn’t read the entire thing – you can read it here at 3 Passive Income Streams.
Hardly anyone commented on that post, to me that means your spending way too much time running around in circles grabbing more and more information without actually going through the information you know is good {hint: like my stuff}
Beyond that, how many people actually implemented anything I said on that blog post? …I’d be surprised if anyone did and I know it could bring you a full time income easily if you really took action on it …it’s upsetting what’s really going on in internet marketing right now.
I have to ask again… do you value your time enough to take action on this stuff?
…If not then you’re never going to make it in this business!
Okay so you got great information, but how do you become productive and actually take action on it, right?
How do you actually get things done?
For most people they don’t have a clue!
I’m pretty good at time management, but I’m not great… you see I bought this time management course from Jason Fladlien a year ago and it helped me tremendously, now he’s got another time management course that just blew me away – he actually makes the bold claim that you’ll double your productivity < See for yourself
…if it came from anyone other than Jason, I would say Bull
To be honest he’s downplaying it, you’ll probably get way more out of it then that, if you really want to get stuff done (it’s how you actually make money) then don’t think twice about picking it up – instead of buying one of those products that don’t even tell you what the heck they’re selling.
What are you waiting for… go pick up Jason’s product and come back to read this – your online business success depends on this!
You back? Great, here’s why you need to over deliver…
The online business world is getting crowded and it’s only going to get more crowded…
The smart marketers know they have to do something different and unfortunately many ‘email marketers’ are resorting to deceptive subject lines and the # of visitors they can get to a web page as their ‘edge’
Personally I think that’s the lame ‘easy’ way out…
A better alternative is to over deliver – when you provide a ton of value then people are more than willing to return the favor and it’s not just about how much you can provide (nobody will use anything from a bundle of 25 or more).
Here’s why it works…
1 You show that you have a lot to offer (including good helpful information)
2 You invoke the law of reciprocity… when you’re seen as someone who over delivers people learn to expect that from you and become addicted to the value you provide (especially those who take action on it).
I don’t want to hide that from you, in fact I want you to know exactly why I’m over delivering
I know this works because just this week I’ve had someone tell me that’s why he wants personal coaching from me, he took action, he got results, he seen the immense value that I provide and in return he’s willing to pay more for even more of that value!
…don’t doubt yourself that you can’t provide value, you just have to spend the time to learn good information and translate it into your own product, then sell it for a good deal – then you’ll stand out and people will want to get more from you.
To summarize, it’s all about acting on good information, to do this you need to be productive. Then once you learn a lot about the subject it’s time to over deliver with your own products to open up a lot more possibilities for your customers and your business.
Do this and I guarantee you’ll be more successful than 99% of the people reading this blog post, hey you actually only have to beat 1% because 98% of people never made it this far
Thanks for your valuable time,
What’s It Going To Take To Make A Million Dollars?
Is it possible? Can I even do it?
I was laying in bed one day and this thought came into my mind…
What’s it going to take to make a million dollars?
It was interesting because it immediately put my whole business into a different perspective, so I had to share this with you…
First of all I want to make sure you notice exactly what I said…
‘What’s it going to take’
This brings up the thought, is it even possible? Just imagine in your mind… is the thought of making a million dollars a real possibility for you? …I’m guessing it’s a very distant picture
when you think about what it would actually take for you to make a million dollars, maybe you can’t even think of how you would do it (in that case you need to do some work)
Here’s what I first thought it would take for the real possibility of making 1 million dollars
1 I would need multiple steams of income
This would mean that I would need several cash funnels many of them set on autopilot (so you don’t have to spend time keeping them up) spread out over at least a few niches – even if they were in the same large niche. It’s easier to have several smaller successes then 1 large success like creating the next Facebook or something ridiculously unlikely.
2 I would need high priced products
This would mean I would have to focus on niches where high priced products are already selling. To do this I would need to build email list so that I could build up trust by providing value and over delivering on my lower priced products.
3 Lots of traffic that converts into sales
It’s true that with enough quality traffic anyone could make a million dollars. The key is to get visitors that are likely to buy what you have to offer.
This portion of the process will take the most amount of time and would require you to outsource part of the work. Getting traffic is not hard, but getting a lot of traffic takes time and a lot of effort.
Here’s the thing… I’m already working on all of these things and I can actually see my business growing as I learn how to do them better and as I take more action. I can actually see the picture of making 1 million dollars in my mind larger than ever before.
Can you do the same? What’s your plan for making 1 million dollars? Is it even possible for you?
Real Internet Marketers Are NOT Average People
I got an email a few days ago about one of my products…
The email asked me “what the average person makes with this product?”
I was afraid to respond, but felt I should share this with everyone!
Why?
Because the ‘average’ person makes NOTHING
The truth is the average person (in the U.S.) also only makes about $30,000 a year – at a job they hate
Why?
Because they don’t try or are afraid to ‘better themselves’ you know to invest in yourself and your future
Why?
Because it requires extra work, extra effort & it requires you to do things you are afraid to do
You’re reading this today because you are NOT average
You’re putting in the extra effort to build a better future for yourself…
How good your future is depends on how hard you work in the present (today) and how much you actually believe in yourself, step outside your comfort zone and actually do what the ‘average’ person would not do
Internet marketers are not ‘average’ and the good ones are not even close to average…
Even the FTC wants to know the average results… guess what? The average results are no results!
A lot of people don’t even download the product they purchase… some even have the nerve to ask for a refund 10 minutes after they bought it, with some lame excuse why they want a refund – I’ve had it happen to me
Even a smaller percentage actually take action on any part of the product
Why?
Because it takes above average actions… a little bit more effort, a little bit of stepping outside your comfort zone ‘into the unknown’
I know of one particular marketer that starts going through a product and immediately takes action as soon as he find something that he wants to try… before going into the rest of the product
Guess What?
He’s way above average… and he’s now making over $40,000 a month after less than 2 years of experience online(marketing)
Does that sound like something you would want to do?
Then there should be no more I’ll do it later… I’m guilt too, but at least I’m making an effort to take avoid putting things off, I’m making an effort to step outside my comfort zone… I’m creating videos and I’m not a good speaker, I sound like I’m reading when I’m not, the lighting is off…
but guess what? Who cares as long as you do it – it will pay off!
Do me a favor and stop being ‘average’ it will kill your hopes and dreams
Please comment below telling me why you are not average and how you have already or plan to be better than average with your online business
Is It This Easy To Make Money Online?
I see a common problem online… people spend too much time on the ‘details’ but don’t spend enough time thinking about what they should really be asking themselves
In the video I tell you some of those questions you should be able to answer and if you have a good answer for each one everything should be a lot easier for you (be sure to take notes) – enjoy!
“Curiosity” A Powerful Motivator?
Hey, have you ever considered the sheer power curiosity holds? Earlier today I was asking a friend of mine (one of my mailing list subscribers) how he initially found his way onto my mail list?
Here’s a quick story of the conversation we had, “I found my way onto your mailing list about a week ago. It was through an article you wrote. The title of the article was unique asking me a question about traffic generation that I never considered, I was so ‘curious’ to know the answer behind this question, I actually read your whole article, I didn’t skim it…”
I asked him why he clicked on the link in the article this was his reply “I wasn’t satisfied with the answer in the article, I needed a more complete answer so logically I looked to your link for more information to satisfy my need to learn this traffic generation method”
As you can see curiosity motivates people to take action. People have a natural desire to satisfy curiosity. Why do you think questions are used the most in sales letters? Curiosity!
If you can persuade people to follow along the desired path with curiosity you have a powerful motivational tool. A great question can skyrocket click thru rates.
I recently learned that asking a question that is not as simple as yes or no is more interesting to people. It makes sense if someone can give an answer t o your question they will be less likely to pursue finding the answer.
Curiosity can be used in many ways, in headlines (a must), in the actual content body and even in the footer. Articles work great for this if you can keep the curiosity of your readers up you will have amazing click through rates.
I’ve even used this in sending emails, twitter, web 2.0 submissions and it works great. Do you want to know more? See, I told you always consider the power of curiosity.
P.S. Curiosity gives you more traffic and more money; you should embrace it and use it to your full advantage.
