“Believe in Yourself” part3

I am going to share with you a couple of scenarios about the belief system and what it means to be able to believe in yourself.  Ladies and gentlemen, even if you have an income goal, it’s really coming down to DO you believe yourself, do you believe in yourself, and do you believe that you are actually saying to the universe?  The first thing you have to do is to be able to put things out there.  You might think that writing goals is corny, but ladies and gentlemen if you have ever studied the laws of attraction or how the universe works, you understand how things in life tend to happen and if you want to call on the universe, the universe will respond.

You can call it whatever you want.  Here is what I know, and I know this to be factual and I believe it 1000 percent with every fiber in my body.  This is the direction that you guys need to follow in order to achieve your goals. You have to be able to put out information. You have to be able to put out a goal, whether its verbally, written, or whether you are just telling everybody you are running into that this is what you are going to do and to make it happen…and when you do this, the universe has a funny way of delivering for you ever thing that you need, when you need it and it will all fall into place.  Every contact, every person, every bank loan, every opportunity….Every tool and every element will be placed at right in front of you when you need it. If your eyes are open to seeing it, you will have everything you need to achieve your goals, as long as you verbalize it and put it out there and most importantly, believe 100 percent in it. If you will stop at nothing and I mean nothing until you get your goal, then the universe will help you achieve this. Will there be speed bumps along the way? Of course there will. This is the universe testing you. Trying to separate you from the rest of the people who would just quit, give up on their dreams and say I tried, but it was too hard, or it didn’t work for me. Those are the ones who never make it. Will you make it? Only if you stop at nothing will you make it. No matter how many times you get knocked down. You matter how close you are to losing it all or quitting, those who persevere are the winners in more ways than one! Your end result is what has to keep you going. Remember it is always darkest before it is dawn. That is the magic of believing.

 

Tips to Becomeing an Expert (Part 2)

In this chapter, I will reveal to you the five highest paying skills that I do to create wealth and the seven secrets that experts do to position themselves as an expert to give themselves the credibility of you require to develop the five highest paying skills.

Top 5 Highest Paying Industries that we focus on:

1.       The speaking industry is one of the highest paid expert services in the world. I have been on stage for 20 minutes and made ten thousand dollars and more. I have been on stage and delivered a high value, high content speech and got paid fifty thousand dollars for an hour speech. Some people, such as Former President Bill Clinton, have been paid a quarter of million dollars to deliver a key note speech. Where else and what other industry can pay you that kind of money? I don’t know of another job or industry that pays that kind of money. Getting a high paying gig like that skill and expert have that skill and are the authority in their field.

 

2.       Seminars are another high paying way to generate wealth quickly. People who have put on their own seminars, trainings and workshops and have people come in and learn from you and pay a high ticket price to be in the room with you and learn from you because of your knowledge and expertise in the industry. Making fifty thousand to five hundred thousand dollars is not out of the question for a weekends worth of work.

 

3.       Coaching is another high paying profession that experts do to create wealth. If you are business leader or someone who is great at people development, then coaching is a great high paying career. My wife Giovanna, is one of the best coaches in world and has an unbelievable connection with people. Many people have come from all over the world to coach with her. She does more than just mentor them, but actually coaches them along their career paths. There are approximately 40,000 coaches that get paid anywhere between $300 per hour to $3000 per hour and up!

 

 

4.       Consulting is another highly profitable career path where consultants go into businesses and helping them diagnose how their current state situation is and what their company current situation is like and helping them understand where they could go based on best practices and innovation. This is one of my favorite things to do as I love looking at a business and discussing what to do next and where to go with the business. In my earlier career as a computer consultant, I had the privilege of setting the infrastructure in over 1200 businesses in 200 industries.

 

5.       Product development is extremely profitable. If you create and sell your own products, especially one with a low cost and high profit model is great. For example if you have books, cd’s DVD’s or any kind of informational product where once it is created, the only cost to you is the material, usually a few dollars and it sells for fifty, one hundred dollars or more, then you have a winning formula for high profitability! A simple way that anyone can get started today to create an info product is to interview the top experts in a particular field and record or write about the insight gained from this process. This is compiling data and distributing it and that is something anyone can do today!

 

3 Keys to Driving Free Traffic to your Blog

Exchanging links are a great way to make friends and share your traffic and receive traffic to your website or blog. It is different from other forms of marketing you’ve done up to this point, because it is the true sense of networking and using Web 2.0. You can use this technique even if you are just getting started. If you don’t use this technique, you might be missing out on a great marketing enhancement.

 

To begin with, a link exchange offers you the opportunity to share your links with other people, blogs or websites, and in trade you place their links on your site. Even if you are brand new, you can use this technique. A great strategy is to interview someone you know who has a great influence. This may be the owner, a manager, a director, the top producer, your up-line or anyone with an expertise.

 

When you interview someone, do you think the person being interviewed will want to share this with the world? Of course they will, they will be talking about how they were interviewed for weeks or months to come. Every time they mention it, they will be referencing you as the interviewer. You should also be doing the same strategy. As the interviewer, it gives credibility to you as the expert in the field too, even if you are new!

 

There are companies out there called Traffic Exchanges. The benefit to being a member of a link exchange is that you are sharing traffic with other sites who are, by your selection, going to give you targeted traffic appropriate to the goals of your business. Furthermore, the more exchange partners you accumulate, the better visibility you have for your site. And, as you know already, more visibility means more traffic, and more traffic means higher earnings.

 

Another strategy for this would be to use a blog quote from a like-minded blogger who writes about similar content and pull a piece of their work to your blog or article, giving them credit for their work. In return, you could ask them to do the same for you.

 

One final strategy is to comment on all the similar articles and blogs that you can. Proper etiquette is to have the owner, comment back on your article or blog.

 

How to Pre-sell Your Products with Free Reports and E-Books

One of the best ways to pre-sell your product is to give away a mini e-book or a report that validates your sales copy or builds up the anticipation of your product launch. It can actually be one of the better ways to pre-sell your products.

 

What does it mean to pre-sell your products? Essentially, pre-selling involves giving away a free report, a sample product or other valuable information that supports your sales copy. This is a great way to be the authority and gain your customers trust, so they think of you as a trusted resource, rather than a pushy salesman.

 

Another important component of pre-selling your products with free reports or mini e-books is that you target the right people using an opt in form to build your list of potential buyers for your product. These will be the first people standing in line waiting for the launch of your product. It is important to note that anyone can do this. By pre-selling your products with free reports or mini e-books, it is the best way I know how to list build fast, gain targeted people and become the instant expert in your field.

 

Get Testimonials For Your Product!

I learned early in my ad copy days, that people like to read about the results of other people using the same product. Most people like to read testimonials about how good a product is before they buy it. They are particularly interested in what other customers have to say about a product. This is very true when it comes to  digital informational products. They are purchasing it online, without a retail store, so they are more skeptical. Can you blame them? If you have written a how-to e-book, testimonials about how others have succeeded by using the information provided in the e-book are of  great value to you. Add testimonials to the  sales letter. If you can get a picture with the testimonial, that’s good, but with an audio or a video testimonial, it’s even better.

 

The easiest way to get a testimonial is to ask them for it. If you’ve done your job right, people will happy to help. If you need to nudge them along, let them know you may feature them on your website offering a value to the person giving the testimonial. I don’t like to have to resort to bribes, but sometimes you can’t get people off their rears to get it done. So you may have to resort to offering that free traffic as they are being featured on your sales page. It’s a win, win!

 

Pursue all avenues to get good testimonials as to add to the value of your informational product. You can reserve some space in your sales letter for testimonials from your customers…even if you only have a few customers. Everybody has to start somewhere and don’t expect miricals. You will be sadly dissappointed. Your conversion rate might not be earth shaking to begin with.

 

Ask your customers for feedback. Surprisingly enough, people like to be asked what they think. They really like for their opinion to be sought after and they will usually give you testimonials if you will only ask and espcially if you have a terrific product.

 

Try to get testimonials from top producers, high-powered industry experts and well-known people in the industry are great too. Just don’t expend too much time and energy seeking them out. Testimonials from happy customers are of a great value and they are a lot easier to get.

 

Why Sell Digital Information Products Online?

There are now 1.3 billion users online, which is up 300 Millions users from just two years ago. To put this into perspective, 1.3 Billion internet users is equevelent to the population of China. That is huge, but it also tells the story, that the growth of the internet will continue to grow over the next decade.

 

Target Market, Talk about your Niche Target Market….The Internet, the World Wide Web, how many customers do you need? Even .0001% or 1.3b times .000001 would still equal 1300 customers.  If you profit $100 per product, you’ve just made $130,000. The Information Super Highway was developed for the purpose of getting answers to questions about everything you can imagine and a few things you would never want to try to imagine! Now days people turn to the Internet to buy and sell things…both require information. They search for ways to make money using their computers, they search for information about the illnesses they face or they research projects for work or school.

 

There is a lot of information online that costs nothing but the Internet connection and time. Relevent, vital information is one thing that people eagerly take out their credit cards to buy. People will buy information that they can’t get free and, the strange thing is, they will also buy information that is readily available on the Internet free of charge. Especially when it is packaged in a way that makes it easy to read and understand. Inforamtion is the ultimate commodity and wealth goes to those who get there first, package it the best and market it the best!

 

For those looking for a way to earn a living while sitting in front of their computers in their own homes, I recommend selling information. Cutting Edge Information is what people crave. They can’t get enough of it and they can’t get it fast enough. When selling Digital Information Products, choose the latest and greatest of products, because once a product has been on the market shelf a while, most people have seen the offer or the technique isn’t new anymore, therefor losing it’s luster.

 

Selling Digital Downloadbable Products Online is a beautiful thing. It requires no warehouse space, no shipping or handling either and no inventory. The one thing that people will gladly pay for is information that is timely, relevent and helps them solve a problem, feel better or look better. Get involved with something that you believe in and something that you have used and would recommend. If you do that, the sales process will be an easy one for you.

 

BEGIN with the END in MIND…

In the previous article, we talked about the best products to create. We based our criteria on simplicity to create, demand for the product and profitability factor for product. Once you have decided on what format to choose for your product, please keep the end in mind when starting.

 

For example, if you were writing a articles, you should be blogging every day, fifteen minutes a day, creating one blog post of two to three paragraphs each. Take those blog posts, if they are on the same topic, and create an article to publish. You may not be thinking this thought while doing your work, but several articles make up a chapter and several chapters make a book. By knowing where you’re going will help you plot your course and help you to stay on course as you journey through your writing careeer. Digital Downloadable Product Creation will be more meaningful by having a total game plan. You’ll find the work you create today will become repackaged material or bundles later. Creating even more profit.

 

You want to make the buyer of your product feel better, look better, make more money, have more fun, learn something new that they want to know or solve a problem. In other words, if you help them in any way, you’ve hit a home run!

 

that is important because there are some tuff critics out there and if they are unhappy, you can find blogs, scam reports and even video of people showing their displeaseure for what ever reason…..it doesn’t matter the reason, it doesn’t even matte if they are wrong, you simply do NOT want unhappy customers.

 

The main reason we create the product in the first place is to help people and make money! Look to sell it to a large pool of hungry prospects that are looking forward to buying the information on a certain topic.

 

Creating Digital Informational Products of any kind is an exciting process. The journey from having a good idea to seeing a finished product is an amazing journey. You will learn a lot about yourself, you’ll have many ups and downs, successes and failures, good days and bad. It is easy to lose sight of the end result as most products and projects go in phases, when the main objective is to make money. The main objective for the creator of every informational product no matter what the subject is to sell the product when it is completed. Then repackage it and sell it again & again.

 

You need customers….eager customers waiting for your informational product. Before you even begin creating your digital informational product, you must know that there is a market place for your product. You need to consider the competition, the demand, the price point before creating your product. You’ll need to begin seeking that pool of potential buyers, researching the best place to market and advertise your product. Do you have a list that you are currently marketing to? Do you have friends or colleagues who are also owners of lists that would be most interested and suggesting joint ventures or even partnerships for your product?

 

The most important factor in how to create your own digital informational product, is how to sell your products. It is important…vital, critical and even pertinent that selling the product is what will produce the income you need to pay you for all the time and effort that you will be putting into creating your digital downloadable informational product in the first place.

 

Don’t worry, you’ll get better and faster at creating them the more you do it.

How to make a website profitable by Craig Garcia

1. Find a niche market

2. Find a profitable product to sell to that niche

3. Join affiliate programs

4. Advertise the website using Google AdWords/SEO/JV
partners

5. Monitor where your dollars are coming from

I know that may seem oversimplified, but that’s all there
is to it. Of course each step has a few details, but
essentially, that’s the formula.

 

List Building Rule #2

Rule #2. Get PERSONAL with your subscribers

People want to deal with PEOPLE, not faceless companies. So you DON’T want your emails to come off sounding like all you are trying to do is sell them something.

In order to connect with your subscribers, your emails should be written in a casual, conversational tone. Write like you’re talking to a good friend. Let your personality shine through. If you’re a funny person, use humor in your emails. (Without being offensive, obviously.) If you speak with an accent, let that accent shine through in your writing. Include whatever characteristics make you, “YOU”.

 

It will help your subscribers feel like they know you…and that will go a long way to encouraging them to buy something from you! Finally, in order to hammer home the point that your emails are coming from an actual person — as opposed to an organization — make sure the return address on all your emails has your name in it. craiggarcia@whatever.com. Whatever you do, don’t use an anonymous address like info@yourbusiness.com — or even worse, sales@yourbusiness.com. They make your email sound way too impersonal, and will actually discourage people from opening and reading it.

Sincerely,

Craig Garcia
