Your Key to Mastering Success… Snow!

06/12/2015 | 5 Comments

Today’s lesson is all about why some entrepreneurs always do better than others. It’s about why some consistently kill it without breaking a sweat. While others can work ninety hours a week and never get off the ground.

And it’s about snow…

If you’re scratching your head, watch the video. (And don’t forget to leave me a comment. What’s your big takeaway? How much “snow” do you see?)

2 ‘Lazy’ Ways To Test and Make More Money From Autoresponder Sequences

05/18/2015 | 1 Comment

“Really, it comes down to testing.”

As a marketer, how many times have you heard that? Hundreds, maybe thousands of times. We all know that best-practices can only take us so far, and that testing with live visitors / readers / viewers gives us the closest thing to “truth” when it comes to which offer works best.

Consequently, most marketers who have a reasonable amount of traffic will get started in testing. Testing landing pages, testing squeeze pages, testing webinar registration pages, sales pages you name it. But… testing email sequences?

Three Things You Never Thought Of To Supercharge Your Social Proof

04/13/2015 | 5 Comments

In my last post, we talked about social proof.

It’s not rocket science. As an aspiring entrepreneur, you know you need it.

You need it to demonstrate that whatever product or service you provide, yours is the right choice for your prospect.

And, a little more subconsciously but no less important, you need it to demonstrate you’re the popular choice. That by buying what you’re selling, your prospect will become one of the “cool kids”. (Don’t underestimate the power of this. Apple has had me wanting to be one of the “cool kids” for years!)

So today I want to share three concepts – you may have never thought of – that will help you build and leverage the social proof you need to succeed… Continue…

The Element of Your Marketing That’s More Important Than Ever

04/09/2015 | 3 Comments

I used to get asked about emerging trends a lot. Mostly because the reports I used to write were so accurate in predicting them. Well one prediction from one of my past reports has come to pass in such a big way I thought I’d write a couple short posts just to nudge it back front and center in your marketing memory.

It’s an area of your marketing you might be overlooking. Or one you might not be taking as seriously as you should.

It’s really not a new concept. (But then again, reviewing the fundamentals is always uber-valuable no matter how sophisticated a marketer you are.) In fact if you’re into copywriting at all, I’m sure you know about it all too well. Continue…

Your Automatic “Chain Of Reaction”

03/31/2015 | 13 Comments

I’m sure you’ve heard of this self-preservation mechanism before. The way we react when we encounter some kind of “danger”.

You probably know it as the “Fight or Flight” response.

When confronted with some sort of imminent threat, we calculate the degree of danger. And either run for cover or face it down and do battle.

Well guess what?

You can forget that.

Because that understanding is wrong… Continue…

The Bad News On Why You Keep Procrastinating

03/28/2015 | 9 Comments

So in my last post I left you with a somewhat daunting question…

I mean in all the information that’s been published, there’s got to be a solution somewhere that’ll get you to stop being a procrastinator. Right?

How’s all that been workin’ for ya?

You see, like I also said in my last post, the problem is there’s a distinction about procrastinating that most people don’t seem to get.

And not understanding this distinction blurs the reality of the problem. It renders any hope of dealing with procrastination just about dead on arrival.

What is it? Continue…

Why You’re Not “Living the Dream” Right Now

03/26/2015 | 8 Comments

Think back to what your hopes and dreams were when you were a child. The amazing future you had planned. Every day was filled with opportunity and promise. Anything was possible for you then. How many fighter pilots, astronauts, major league third basemen, writers, artists, poets and princesses do you suppose are reading this post right now?

OK. Let’s be a little more realistic. Continue…
