6 Things I Wish I Would Have Known Earlier 3/6…

Quote of the day –

6 Things I Wish I Would Have Known Earlier 3/6…

For about the first year and a half after getting started Online, I’d flounder around for hours on end without producing any real results whatsoever… I’d study and work and study and work and study and work… yet would see almost zero returns on my efforts expended…

Sure there were a few sales here and there, a few leads added to my list, but nothing worth really talking about… and definitely not ANY profits. I was doing everything I thought I should have been doing… studying the courses, trying to implement what I learned as efficiently and as quickly as possible… but as the old saying goes… “you don’t know what you don’t know”… and the truth is I didn’t know almost anything… 

Now I still don’t know much… but today I want to share with you a few key things that I’ve learned that have helped me increase my bottom-line the fastest… and which will do the same for you if applied…

My request of you: please take action based upon what you’re about to learn. Information is powerless without application… so take what you learn here now, and apply it in your business as fast as humanly possible.

1. The “Marketing” really begins AFTER the lead is generated. 

One of the Mentors who I study has a saying somewhere along the lines of “driving traffic is advertising your business, converting leads into sales is where efficient marketing comes into play”.

Too many people in our industry are completely focused on how to drive traffic for free or at the absolute lowest cost possible… constantly focusing on ridiculous goals such as trying to figure out how to generate 10c, 20c, or 30c leads. They spend all of their time trying to learn something that won’t serve them longterm. Chances are if you figure out how to generate leads for 10c… that tactic will be here today and gone tomorrow. They spend all of their time focusing on the minute trivial activities instead of focusing their energy where they really should… on learning how to turn a lead that you generate for let’s say a $1.50 or $2.00 into profits for your business.

When you learn how to consistently turn a lead that you generate for $2.00 into profits for your business, you’ve learned a skill that will feed you for life. There will always be traffic strategies available to tap into that allow you to generate leads for $1.50 to $2.00 for your business… the question is whether or not you have the skills necessary to turn a profit on those leads.

But how do you do it?

1. Leverage a system with a strong sales funnel that converts and lots of backend “profit maximizer” offers.

2. Learn and develop your skills as an e-mail Marketer. (If you want a few recourses I recommend for learning e-mail marketing, just let me know in the comments below)

2. The money is in the relationship with your list, not the list itself.

This second point ties into the first considering the last thing we just talked about was e-mail marketing.

The truth is that an e-mail list is completely useless and will do nothing for your business if you’re not consistently communicating with the real life human beings that are behind those e-mails on your list. As Tim Erway says, “were people connecting with people”… meaning that if you don’t know how to create responsiveness with your list through engaging and connecting with the real life human beings that make it up… you’re in trouble.

This is a lesson I unfortunately learned the hard way. When I first got started I would always hear “the money is in the list, the money is in the list, the money is in the list…” so I went out and invested all of my savings into building a list of about 10k people… only to see very little if any return on my investment due to not fully grasping the importance building a relationship with my list… and of course just not knowing how. 🙂

From what I’ve learned, the best way to build a rock solid relationship with your list is to mail often, and to always provide value in each e-mail. My formula: E-mail your list as often as you possibly can given that you’re providing real world value that will help solve your subscribers problems.

Create blog posts, youtube videos, podcast episodes ect., all with the aim of solving your Target Markets problems. Also tell stories that your e-mail subscribers can relate too… The most effective stories that build rapport the fastest are stories of pains and struggles, and how you overcame them.

Create written blog posts, youtube videos, podcast episodes, tell stories… and do it often, and your relationship with your list will be rock solid in no time.

3. You should always be selling, and providing value simultaneously

There’s no doubt that you absolutely do need to develop a relationship with your e-mail list through providing value… But it’s also crucial to understand that the single most important thing your e-mail list allows you to do is create sales for your business out of seemingly thin air.

It costs nothing to send an e-mail to your list… so if you get on average 1 $47 sale per e-mail you send to your list, you’re essentially creating $47 for you and your business out of thin air. This means that the more often you e-mail your list, the more $47 sales you’ll make… Also as your e-mail list grows, you’ll start to see a compounding effect and begin to generate 2, 3, 4 sales and up per e-mail. That’s when things become really exciting.

The key is to always be providing value and selling simultaneously. If you’re always only selling, your list will become burnt out and unresponsive very quickly. If you’re always only providing value, your relationship with your list will grow, but there won’t be many sales. 

Do both at the same time.

In doing both, you build a rock solid relationship with your list, and make sales simultaneously.

The more continuously you mail… the stronger the relationship with your list will become, and the more sales you’ll make. A powerful compounding effect will kick in as your list continues to grow in size and responsiveness, and while your constantly selling.

But how do you do it?

Reverse engineer this e-mail, and all of the future ones I send. 🙂

You’ll see that in each e-mail I provide value, while also embedding links to my sales pages in places that make sense to do so. 

Ask yourself what problems does your product/service/opportunity solve?

Does it offer an amazing community of likeminded entrepreneurs? Then write about the importance of having a supportive community of likeminded people all of whom have your back in this business building process, and how most people don’t have one… and then link back to your opportunity/product/service as the solution to that problem.

Does your product or service offer a done for you phone sales team? Then write about the importance of phone sales, and how phone sales will provide 70+ of the revenues in your business, and then link back to your product or service as a done for your solution.

I think you get the point…

Continue to read my e-mails… watch where I put links and how they tie into the content, and then start producing e-mails to your list daily yourself. It’s the single highest paying activity you can complete on a daily basis in your business… so don’t put it off… START WRITING NOW!

And that’s it for the first 3/6 things I wish I woulda known earlier!

Remember…

1. The “Marketing” really begins AFTER the lead is generated. 

2. The money is in the relationship with your list, not the list itself.

3. You should always be selling, and providing value simultaneously.
