The formula to success – making money online continued.
This is a continuation of the formula of success – making money online part 1. Just to re-cap, here is the formula:
Creativity + Understanding + Direction + Determination + Communication + Integrity = Success online.
DETERMINATION
If you are a naturally determined person you’ll just immediately get this. That’s because you have used your natural talent to achieve results in the past. There’s no doubt that good old fashioned will power, and stubbornness (or as some people like to say – tenacity) absolutely have their place in building your business.
Now most people know that – but the trick is to get into this state, and to keep maintaining this state in the first place. So ask yourself – just what is determination or will power? Will power or determination is unification of desire. What you’ve got to do is decide with your entire mind to do something.
Let me qualify that a little. Ever heard of subconscious sabotage? What’s happening here is that there is a part of someone that desires to fail – for one reason or another. Something happened in their childhood that made them feel unworthy for example. That little voice is holding them back.
Or let’s say that you don’t really want to do a task, but you know you should. Part of you has the desire not to do it.
So what you can do is listen to those dissenting little voices. Write down what’s holding you back and problem solve. The task you didn’t want to do – let’s say it’s writing yet another article. Come up with affirmation of why you like writing articles. Learn to like it. Compromise – if I do this article I get a bar of chocolate. The point is to listen and identify the problem – this way you are less likely to subconsciously sabotage. Also you can pick up on recurring habits this way.
COMMUNICATION:
Some people can talk and write all day long. Others are good at building connections and making bridges. All this is part of the essential skill of communicating. Viagra professional TV presenters are often very good communicators. They make people feel at home, can communicate and explain situations and events clearly, and are funny enough but not too funny to be a comedian.
Being able to communicate effectively is something that can be improved upon all your life. It covers a very broad skill set – sales, negotiation, empathy, humour, putting complex concepts into simple language etc. A good grasp of language comes in very handy here, but its not just about words and grammar.
What mood where you in when you bought that item. What made you buy it? How did you get into that buying state of mind? Chances are that it wasn’t just te words that made you buy – it was the effect the words had on you and how they made you feel. Different words have different connotations to different niches. Communication is about evoking the right state of mind in others.
An example of how this varies from niche to niche is the first time I came across one of those “wait wait wait” pop up ads. Often the vendor will give you a discount. Rather then let you navigate away from the page, a sexy operator will pop up and offer you a further bonus. As an internet marketer, I thought this was quite cheeky and a good negotiating ploy. I got the product because of their cheek. And it has to be said, because the pop up operator was sexy. Www.viagra.de
When I starting promoting other niches, I came across a product with several different sales pages. One of these had a pop up as described previously. I thought this would be the best page – but when I tested my market, customers got quite irritated by the pop up. For that niche it wasn’t a good idea! They felt they were being pushed into buying something.
INTEGRITY
Have you ever looked at a sales page on the internet and thought – lies, lies lies! Often sales pages are totally hyped up. I made the mistake of buying a product once – the hype looked so good. When it didn’t live up to the hype, do you think that vendor saw any repeat business? Nope. Not a sausage. Levitra efectos secundarios He was lucky he didn’t get asked for a refund!
What’s that much repeated business axiom? Under promise and over deliver. Too much hype and you’re doing the opposite! I’ve nothing against hype – but only if the product lives up to it.
Integrity is about being reliable, living up to your promises and providing true value. If you are an affiliate marketer, this means trying out your products and making sure they work before you recommend them to other people, even if they are from a super guru!
If you recommend something and it turns out to be crap, then you will carry the can! It sounds obvious, but people will think that you recommended the product just to make a fast buck. This does nothing for your reputation and they will be very unlikely to buy from you again! Also doing this sets you up for subconscious sabotage. A small part of you will disagree with what you are doing, and won’t think you are worthy of success.
Ever heard the phrase the money’s in the list? This is effectively saying that you are going to make repeat sales off the people on your list – so its absolutely paramount that you give them quality info, and build the relationship and trust!
