Tales of a cyber-hippy running an online business from home
Get some personal coaching or get a mentor
You need to be able to work with someone on a one
to one basis.
Group coaching, no matter how good or expensive
will NOT give you the same results as working
with a mentor who can look at your individual
business and tell you how to make more money from
it
I’ve worked with mentors and coaches and it’s
made a BIG difference to my business
Sometimes you just need a short sharp kick in the
arse to motivate you…
This is short and sweet.
As soon as you’ve created your own product or found
a product you’d like to promote…
STOP EVERYTHING ELSE YOU’RE DOING AND THROW SOME
TRAFFIC AT IT TO MAKE SOME MOOLAH
The big guys in the industry don’t mess around with
SEO and fr-ee traffic
That’s for newbies
They’re fine with selling you shedloads of PRODUCTS
about how to drive traffic for fr-ee but they don’t
do it themselves
…because it doesn’t work.
Not in a cost effective way anyhow
You’re always told to ‘select your target audience’
right?
Doesn’t work.
Oh sure if you’re producing an ebook or product
aimed at a niche market such as the much exampled
‘people with acne’ or ‘tropical fish lovers’ then
that’s definitely possible
What ISN’T possible is to try to create your online
personality to get a certain demographic of people
to follow you
(otherwise I’d be targeting female naturist
volleyball players who send out pictures)
I have a good IM mate who PERFECTLY appeals to the
demographic of 25-35 year old males who like fast
cars and flash lifestyles…
Well it’s weird…
Most marketers don’t know exactly where their sales come from and if sales are coming in OK they think they don’t really NEED to know
Which is utter balls as I found out to my dismay
See the screenshot below?
It’s just ONE of a load of tracking ‘things’ I do to find out where my sales come from. So for example my newsletter sales…
I know they come in every single day and it would be easy to sit back and be happy about that.
But most payment processors don’t tell you exactly which link a sale has come unless you really know what you’re doing with tracking links.
When a new subscriber comes onto my list they go through an eight or nine follow-up message sequence.
I’s assumed that the first TWO follow-ups were responsible for most of my autoresponder sales for my newsletter
Nope
You can see from the screenshot that it was actually follow-ups FOUR and FIVE that did the best.
What a bugger!
Because I’d been focusing on the first TWO emails and I dumped the ones that were actually working because I wanted a short sequence.
I THREW AWAY the links that were bringing me the most sales in the AR sequence purely because I didn’t know where the sales came from and what was (and wasn’t) converting.
Which is why I wrote ‘The Missing Link’
You can get more details by clicking on the link below or the pic of the hairy bloke at the top of the post (not me), and seeing if it’s something that wiggles your woggle.
