Dealing With Fatigue and Other Issues

fatigueYou’re sick and tired… and you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. It’s hard to wake up everyday and get to work when you aren’t feeling your best. In fact, it seems impossible most days.

It’s not that you’re lazy and you do want to work- you absolutely do. You have big dreams and goals and you will stop at nothing to achieve those goals. You know that means working hard.

Eventually, when you’re feeling better, that is. For now, you’re trying to run through quicksand. Your brain is foggy and your eyes are drooping. It doesn’t matter what time of day it is; you’re exhausted. You’re barely surviving.

Goals and Whys

smart goal setting conceptOne of the most important indicators of business success is having the right mindset. If you have a bad mindset, if you’re in a “funk”, and it’s hard to get motivated enough to do the things you need to do in your business.

Many people think it’s impossible to get past that hard part and get motivated, especially if you’ve been in a particularly difficult slump for a long time. Maybe you’re drained of energy, not sure which direction you should take your business in, and just generally feeling out of sorts and not on top of things.

The good news is that it’s easier than you think to get motivated and feel refreshed in your business. You can completely revamp your mindset. It can happen today, in fact. And once you do this one simple thing, everything will suddenly become so much clearer. Your path to more money and greater business success will suddenly seem so much smoother.

Promoting With Forum Marketing

forum iconThere are so many different ways you can promote products as an affiliate. There are paid methods and free methods. There are methods that produce results quickly and methods that take a longer period of time to pay off. One of the most exciting methods, in my opinion, is forum marketing.

I have an affinity for forums. That might be because I own one. There’s something incredible about belonging to a forum. In many ways, the most active members of a forum become like family. Working online can be isolating and belonging to a forum makes it so much less so.

There’s a lot of relationship building that happens on forums. And while we’re not really here today to talk about relationship building on forums, that’s a big part of using forums for marketing. People buy from those they know, like, and trust. People buy from those who are “in the know” and have a reputation as an authority figure. That’s exactly what can happen when you become active in a forum (or more than one forum).

As an affiliate marketer, it’s your goal to interact with your target audience. You want to put your link in front of those who are most likely to click through and buy what you’re promoting. That’s how you get paid, after all.

How to Choose the Right Forum

Announcing a Brand New 9-Part Video Course…

“Finally, a Smart Sales Funnel Blueprint That Allows You to Find Your Premium Buyers So You Can Focus On Scaling Your Business…Starting Today!”

In this video series, I’m going to show you how to properly set up this smart sales funnel so you can sift the serious buyers from the non-serious buyers.

Dear Business Owner,

While using the 80/20 rule, did you know that 20% of your buyers bring in the majority of your sales?  That’s not to say that all your buyers are not important.

But that 20% of your buyers are what we call your serious premium buyers.  Folks who are often action takers and want to buy almost everything in your funnel (assuming all your one-time offers and upsells help them achieve their end desire).

Did you know that most sales funnels are setup to combine your premium buyers and non-premium buyers together?

…and by doing this, you impact your long-term growth because you have a list of customers but are not providing them exactly what they want?

If you think about the impact of this common mistake, the results show themselves in low engagement and a low retention rate of buyers.

So if you’d like to know how to setup your sales funnel to achieve this goal in finding the “diamond in the rough” buyers…
