Over 15 years, I have worked with thousands of small Internet business owners to help them boost profitability. When asked what their biggest challenges were, most of them said two things:
1. I don't know what to do
This is a big problem - because when you don't know, you try to learn... and tend to believe anyone who pretends to know!
And there are many of them out there, ready and willing to spout their favorite theory or fanciful imagination as the gospel truth, (un)knowingly (mis)leading beginners down the wrong path.
But even when you come across someone who steers you right, there's another hurdle to cross...
2. I can't stay focused
Again, this is not surprising... especially when you're starting out.
Because the same folks who tout their favorite 'system' as the Holy Grail make up for what they lack in knowledge or experience with passion and hype! It's easy to fall into the trap of believing that just because they make such exciting claims and quote impressive figures, they must be right!
So you follow their 'system', but before it has time to kick in and produce results, you're off on the trail of the next messiah who proposes his or her way as the 'Next Big Thing'.
You Are NOT Alone!
If you've felt that either of these things was YOUR biggest challenge too, you are not alone. And there are two ways you'll get over them.
One way is by making mistakes, wasting time and spending money - until you discover that this approach isn't working. That forces you to focus, stick with winners and take the time necessary to choose the right person to learn from.
Another way is to take a smart approach right from the start - and tune out the hype and hoopla while you carefully study successful people and follow their methods or adapt them to suit your business.
How I Learned - And You Can Too
We all start working on our business with a certain mindset and bunch of beliefs. And whenever we start learning something new, we try and fit what we learn to the existing framework we've built into our minds.
This means we often tune out - and refuse to learn - what actually works!
My biggest lessons about online business did NOT come from the Internet marketing gurus. Not even the ones who claim to make millions of dollars from their business.
Instead, I chose to learn from the even more experienced experts who teach and consult with traditional business... people like
Jay Abraham, who is one of America's highest paid business consultants (he charged $25,000 for a four hour consultation!) and has generated 7.8 BILLION dollars for his clients
Seth Godin, who consults with Google and Yahoo, has written several groundbreaking business books, and is a widely respected thought leader
Chet Holmes, who is a consultant to many Fortune 500 companies and specializes in MULTIPLYING their sales and profits by tapping into timeless and effective business growth principles
What makes them more powerful and effective teachers than others who are well recognized names in the Internet marketing niche is that while IM'ers teach tactics, these uber-gurus teach STRATEGY!
And strategy will ALWAYS trump tactics.
From Seth Godin, I learned about 'Permission Marketing', the concept of selling and marketing exclusively to a keenly interested, passionately committed and evangelically devoted group... one which, even if smaller in size, is far more effective in terms of delivering the results you want in your business.
From Jay Abraham, I learned the 'Strategy of Pre-Eminence', which is the systematic sequence of establishing yourself in your prospect's mind as the only viable solution to their most pressing problems... and doing it by consistently delivering the highest value possible and always putting your clients' best interests first.
From Chet Holmes, I learned to go after 'My Dream 100', a select group of my best clients who will together deliver everything that I want out of my business... rather than wasting time and energy trying to appeal to several thousand others who won't.
Each of these strategic decisions has helped me work 'smarter, not harder'.
And this very report you are reading - and your 'Daily Marketing Dashboard' online tool that you will soon get access to - are the result of these 3 powerful principles... combined with another of Chet Holmes' strategic teachings:
To Succeed, You Don't Need To Try 4,000 Things
- Just MASTER Twelve!
Instantly, your marketing life gets simplified when you buy into such an elegantly effective strategy.
No longer will you be rushing about 'chasing your tail', trying to implement a flurry of tactics in your online business, desperately engaged in a futile effort to keep up with the most recent developments, and working your way into an early grave by being frustrated, harried and with little time left for other important activities and people in your life!
No... With your 'Daily Marketing Dashboard', you will follow a simple, yet effective, approach where in just ONE HOUR every day, you'll carry out a set of eight activities that together will boost your business to new heights of achievement.
In the rest of this report, I'll outline these eight activities. At the end, I'll give you an option. You can pick and choose whatever feels right for you - and either way, you'll have a roadmap which reveals a route that is guaranteed to take you to the top.
Change Your Mind!
But first, you'll have to change just one tiny aspect of your mindset. We are all naturally attracted towards getting things 'quickly, easily, effortlessly' - and knowing this, smart marketers will make their offers appeal to this desire.
Unfortunately, while seductive and magnetic, 99 out of 100 of these offers WILL NOT WORK... and the 1% that do work will be extremely weak and ineffective in their impact on your business.
Before reading further, make up your mind to stick to this plan - at least for two months - by which time you'll start seeing results which will encourage you to keep going on.
So, do you promise to give this the good old college try - for the next two months?
Great.
Let's get on to learning about your...
EIGHT Step Daily Marketing Plan
Step 1: Write an article every day
Yes, that may be difficult for you to do. And that's why, if you accept my offer at the end of this report, you'll get access to a free tool that makes it as easy as filling up blanks on an online form and clicking a button!
The article you write must be relevant to your niche, informative and useful to readers, and designed to draw prospects to your website. It may take you 15 to 20 minutes to research and write such an article, and that will be your most significant investment into this program.
But as any serious article marketer will tell you, nothing else beats the effect of regularly writing and promoting quality content through article writing.
Step 2: Write a blog post daily
This is easier than article writing, especially because your blog post may well be the article itself, or a slightly modified version of it.
The reason to post an article on your blog is to build an online resource that you have control over, one that is loaded with your content and over time will grow to become an authority resource in your subject area.
Step 3: Distribute your articles
By having your articles displayed across the Web, you can reach a vast online audience that is interested in your topic - and entice them to visit your website.
On your 'Daily Marketing Dashboard', you will find four of the top places to submit your daily article so that you get maximum visibility across the widest possible audience.
Step 4: Promote your blog and website
Who wants to publish a blog that's read by 12 visitors every month?! Not you, I'm sure. That's a terrible waste of your time and effort. Far better to have a busy, popular blog thronged by hundreds, if not thousands of readers every day.
There's an endless array of options you can use to achieve this end, but to consistently do it on a daily basis over a long period of time, the things you do must be simple, quick and powerful.
That's why, in your 'Daily Marketing Dashboard', we have picked THREE highly effective methods to have your content spread far and wide, and get in front of targeted audiences. Neatest of all, you can do it in less than five minutes!
Step 5: Get Links
Any SEO specialist will tell you that your website needs more links. And anyone who has struggled to build links to their web properties will tell you it's hard work - and NOT fun!
Yet inbound links to your website and blog are at the core of getting your site ranked higher on search engines and attracting a horde of website visitors to your space on the Web. This is a task you need to focus on systematically, daily, and with consistency... if you are serious about growing your business.
In your 'Daily Marketing Dashboard', you'll get links to some places where you can get inbound links to your website or blog. Yes, it's still up to you to work on getting them - but you'll have somewhere to begin, and you won't have to waste time on ineffective or unproductive sources.
Step 6: Learn and Grow
If you're not learning something new every day, you're losing out to your competition. It's no longer enough to study your niche and industry at your convenience and comfort. Things are changing rapidly - and you need to stay on top of them.
That applies to online marketing too, and you must study the available methods to promote your business that work TODAY. To make your research quick and painless, one section of your 'Daily Marketing Dashboard' will feature learning material that's designed to help your business grow and expand.
Step 7: Stay Updated
Are you drowning in a sea of information? Is your natural impulse to tune out and shut it all out - because it's too noisy?
Me, too.
But we both can't afford to do it. Because in a 'knowledge economy', those who know more will WIN!
As a routine, I scour a cluster of sites and services for news about my industry and niche. It takes time - but I see it as an investment in my business success. You need to do that too.
Your 'Daily Marketing Dashboard' will present news and event updates from various sources, culled and distilled to bring to your notice only the most relevant, critical and essential news tid-bits - so you can get what you need, without wasting too much time getting it.
Step 8: Advanced Methods
You'll have to do a bit more to really trounce your competition. But because you don't have endless time or resources to do it all day long, you need to select ONE DAY A WEEK when you have three to four hours to focus on important activities like:
- building extra content resources on other sites
- publishing and distributing a newsletter for your audience
- submitting your site to various directories
- negotiating joint venture deals with related businesses
In your 'Daily Marketing Dashboard', you'll find a weekly reminder to keep you on track to do the things you need to do every week to sustain the gains you achieve with your daily marketing efforts.
Ok, now here comes the option I mentioned at the beginning.
An Irresistible Offer
You can take the information I've shared with you in this report, and apply the system to your business and grow it exponentially over the next year.
There's enough detail in here to allow you to fill in the blanks - and execute your own 'Daily Marketing Plan'.
Or you can get access to your 'Daily Marketing Dashboard' - which will guide you through the process and point you in the right direction.
No, we won't do any of the work for you. That's up to you. What we will do is act as your guides and advisors. We'll show you what to do, where to do it and share news, information and knowledge to help you do it well.
And while we could easily charge a few hundred dollars every month for providing such a service, we'll gladly let you have it for FREE... with just one catch.
You should promise to log in and execute the plan DAILY - for the next two months.
