Today’s lesson is the most important one in the series so far.

In case you haven’t been following along, I suggest you get yourself up to speed first. Because it’ll make what you’re going to read here much more powerful and useful to you.

We started on last Friday with a blog post made up entirely of questions. It’s titled, “A Daring Blog Post.” (Click on it and read this one first).

Next, on Monday we continued the conversation with a post that answered the riddle of whose successful marketing starts with a single sentence. It’s titled, “Entrepreneurial Success in a Sentence.” (Click on this and read it second).

Then yesterday, I showed you the single biggest mistake both entrepreneurs and marketers are making online today and what you need to do to solve it. It’s titled, “Greater Empathy = Greater Rapport = Greater Profits.” (Click on this and read this third).

Good. Now you’re up to speed…and primed to get the most out of this post.

YOU’LL LEARN AS MUCH (IF NOT MORE) WATCHING…
WHAT I DO RATHER THEN JUST READING WHAT I TEACH!

You see, believe it or not, in just 3 days of blog posting I’ve already accomplished quite a few objectives. Some of them are the same goals others struggle with for months to achieve. So the most valuable advice I can give you today is to lift up my skirt, so to speak, and show you the method behind my madness.

O.K. now before I begin I should admit you’re probably not starting out at the same place I did last Friday. Heck, I’ve got a reputation, I’m a known entity, and I’ve got a substantial list. But so what?

Even if it took you ten times as long and you got only 1/2 the result I did, would it be so bad?

Ten times as long would be 30 days instead of 3, big deal right? But what results am I talking about? Well, brothers and sisters, read on to find out…

Last Thursday, I was looking over our website stats. It wasn’t hard to notice our traffic was way down, engagement was sort of non-existent and our sales were less than I’d like them to be.

Also, I felt I have become a little out of touch with what the markets’ concerns, questions and desires were.

So, I decided to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

And you can learn more from what I did in these past 3 posts than what you’ve learned from reading them.

On Friday, we had more traffic to the blog than we’ve had over the past three months. And more visitors engaged (judging by the number of comments) than we’ve had in over SEVEN motnhs.

In addition, I immediately plugged into the concerns, questions and desires you had, my dear reader, by reading all the comments you graciously shared with me.

Now, if that wasn’t enough, we also saw sales shoot up a bit. All-in-all not too shabby from a single blog post.

So on Friday and throughout the weekend, we achieved positive momentum in all the key areas I was concerned about.

And to an entrepreneur like me, positive results in any marketing is more addictive than crack to a junkie, so I entered this week like a man on a mission.

Next, on Monday I added to the momentum. How so? Our traffic on Monday more than doubled again, engagement continued and ancillary sales inched up even higher. And I got an even clearer picture of what was on your mind.

Then, yesterday (Tuesday) our traffic doubled again. In fact, yesterday’s post hit Alexa top 10 most popular pages on the entire Internet at least 3 separate times!

The engagement continued and miscellaneous sales were even higher than I expected. So, you can see why I am so excited to share these results with you and help you translate them to your own business.

O.K, enough bragging. It doesn’t really suit me, but I thought it was important to share with you the achievements so you’d be even more motivated to use what you’re learning here.

So, what are the lessons?

Well young grasshopper, I’m glad you asked. Let’s…

BREAK DOWN THE MAJOR OBJECT-LESSONS

In Friday’s post:

• I did something different and unexpected – (a blog post made up of entirely just questions). That’s important because doing something that is (1) unexpected and (2) unique, aretwo key ways to get a lot more attention than you would do otherwise…

• I teased you a bit (sorry) with something you might want to know. Do you remember? I said, “Would you like to know how I learned more about my prospects problems?” And many of you said yes! Whichimmediately increased engagement and also laid the groundwork to get you coming back to the blog so I could deliver on what I teased you about…

• I engaged in the conversation by responding to commenters in the comment section. Showing readers there’s a real benefit to commenting…

In Monday’s post:

• I delivered on what I teased you about in Friday. So I came through for you. Some of you thought – hey I told Rich what I wanted to know and he did what I asked and then asked yourself what other things you might want to know and asked me. So I showed you that I’m a stand up guy that you can trust and gave you an even bigger incentive to share your desires…

• I taught you something new, showing you that I can provide value and that coming to the blog was worth your time…

• I promised you more posts at a specific time and a specific frequency which gave you a clear reason and time to check back and read the next installment. This is incredibly important if you want to build your traffic and you don’t have a large list like I do to rely on. In fact, by Tuesday we already were getting lots of readers coming back to see if the post was published at 10 A.M. on the button…

• I gave you an example from my work, showing you I practice what I preach while at the same time getting quite a few readers to download the report which was a nice secondary benefit…

• I continued to engage by replying to comments – turning the blog post into more of a conversation than a dialogue. Thisgets you more comments because it gives readers another reason to participate because they can see that you are reading their comments and replying…

• I ended the post with two questions – one about yourbiggest takeaway (to get you to acknowledge publicly what value you got from the post – a form of social proof andcommitment) and the second about what you wanted me to focus on in future posts (once again giving you another reason to check back tomorrow)…

In Tuesday’s post:

• I delivered again just as I promised I would regarding the time, day, and providing value once again. Showing you thatyou could count on me to honor my promises and giving you an even greater incentive to check back tomorrow…

• I started the post with a link back to the prior post with a strong recommendation that it be read first. This increased the amount of time on the site and number of pages the average visitor read for the day. It also helped new visitors get up to speed on the conversation that was already taking place…

• I pulled 18 comments from the previous day andincorporated them into the post, highlighting one as being the primary motivation for the entire post. Once again this shows readers (1) there’s a strong reason to comment, (2)that the series is really an ongoing conversation and not a static monologue, and most importantly (3) that I really care about you and what you are saying and I take it to heart when I write the next post. Obviously, this enhances the bondbetween me and you (a reader of the blog), and gives an evenstronger incentive to comment and interact with me and others on the blog…

• I taught you a new distinction. This one might have explained why you’ve gotten less than ideal performance in the past, and showed you a way to remedy it in the future. Proving to you the time you spend reading my posts is time well spent. You can probably see how this increases repeat visitors, traffic and engagement all in one fell swoop…

• I continued to engage by replying to comments…

• I ended the post with the same two questions again for the same reason I had done it the day before…

• I also asked you (at the end of the post) to retweet the message which helped bring a plethora of new visitors to the blog – new prospects that I could begin to introduce myself to.

So, there you have it. What do you think?

And more importantly… CAN’T YOU DO THE SAME?

Highly Successful People

To be prosperous and highly successful, you need to be open and ready to learn from those who are already successful. I have had the pleasure of listening to Jeffrey Combs in my continuous personal growth and development process to enhance my personal effectiveness. Jeffrey Combs is one of the highly successful people who has achieved six figures a month in the multilevel marketing MLM industry and has now set up Golden Mastermind Inc. together with his wife Erica Combs and conducts mindset as well as network marketing training.

Here is an excerpt from his DVD series “Principles of Prosperity”.

Success and prosperity is a process, a journey that most entrepreneurs undertake as they go through life. The 13 qualities of prosperous and highly successful people are listed below.

All prosperous and highly successful people:-
1. have dreams. They have a well defined purpose and definite goals. Prosperous and highly successful people have definite desires and know how to achieve them despite obstacles.
2. are achievers. They take satisfaction in creating results.
3. have the drive and the desire to get things done. Prosperous and highly successful people have enthusiasm, commitment and pride. They have the self-discipline and do what it takes to get them to where they are headed.
4. have focus. Prosperous and highly successful people are focused on goals and objectives. They are productive and not busy.
5. learn how to get the task done. They learn how to maximize skills, talents and abilities. Prosperous and highly successful people commit to get the task done and on time.
6. take responsibility for their actions. They do not make excuses, blame others, whine or complain.
7. look for solutions to problems. Prosperous and highly successful people are great problem solvers, not problem makers.
8. make decisions. They are decisive, focusing on relevant facts and make intuitional decisions. Prosperous and highly successful people do not put off making decisions.
9. admit mistakes. They improve action and move on. Humbly admitting their wrong, they do not have to prove anything to anyone.
10. are self reliant. Prosperous and highly successful people have skills, talents and training that are required to get the task done. T hey can stand alone when it is required and do not seek approval.
11. live in the process of constant improvement. Prosperous and highly successful people seek new and exciting information that improves and enhances their skills, wisdom, techniques and leadership skills.
12. develop leaders. They teach leadership skills and develop leaders. They do not help but develop. They teach and influence.
13. have enthusiasm. Prosperous and highly successful people draw like minded seekers to them in all areas of their life.

Prosperous and highly successful people are able to maintain peace of mind despite challenges and obstacles faced. To them, each challenge and adversity they overcome makes them a better person. With a disciplined mind and confusing on the task at hand, they are totally at peace and secure in the knowledge and ability to handle any situation that comes their way.

Thus, in order to be one of the highly successful people in this world, you need to learn from other successful people. Continue on your journey of personal growth and development to enhance your personal effectiveness. When you do that, you will be able to achieve what you desire in your multilevel marketing MLM and from there, give back to society in the form of your knowledge as well as network marketing training.

Setting Goal

I am blessed to start the New Year being able to listen to Norbert Orlewicz, co-owner of MLM Lead System Pro, talk about the 2010 roadmap and How To Design Your Best Year Ever! This starts from setting goal. Without personal goal setting and a strategic roadmap to design and style your life the way you want it to be, the end of the year will be no different from where you are now. With proper goal planning and keeping in mind a millionaire mindset at all times, plus the bonus of Darren Hardy’s free goal setting process, you should be able to determine the direction of your sail and where you are heading to.

Here, I shall cover briefly what I took away from the earlier webinar.

Setting personal goals is the key to success. Writing down your goal and seeing your life as you desire it to be is the beginning of your goal planning process. Visualization plays a big part in the planning and setting of your goals.

“What ever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” ~ Napoleon Hill

You need to be able to create a vision for 2010. Besides having a bag full of Big Audacious Goals, you need to have a big WHY. Where does your motivating and driving force come from? What is your vision and mission? If you do not have a clear and strong enough WHY, you will crumble from beneath the challenges and problems encountered along the way.

When setting your goal, you need to push yourself to the edge. Expand your boundary. Keep yourself just out of comfort zone. This will be the only way for you to grow and improve. Just as a diamond has to undergo extreme pressure to become what it is today, so do you.

In order to start this goal setting process and planning a strategic roadmap to design and style your life into what you envision, you need to begin with where you are at. Review and reflect on the past. What worked and what did not? What lessons did you learn from it and how could you have done differently?

Remember to begin with an attitude of gratitude. In order to create abundance, you must first acknowledge and appreciate the wealth, abundance and prosperity that you already have. Living with an attitude of gratitude will allow more abundance to flow towards you. Darren Hardy explains it very well in his post The One Thought That Can Change Your Life.

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” ~ Oprah Winfrey

Focus on what you wish to achieve on a daily basis. Do not despair. The key to success is to set your mind on your goal and work towards achieving it. There may be obstacles and challenges that you will need to breakthrough. This can be done with persistence.

“I will persist until I succeed. Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult… I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.” ~ Og Mandino

Planning on achieving your goal takes commitment to action. Have a sense of urgency and build up your momentum. Step up to the challenge and work towards achieving your personal goal. It helps to have your goal stuck on your bathroom mirror or somewhere visible so that you can see it on a daily basis.

Begin to ‘act as if’ you have already achieved your goals by following your strategic roadmap. If your goal is to be a self-made millionaire, then you need to have a millionaire mindset and act as if that it is already true. Live the life of a millionaire. Speak the way millionaires speak. Treat your friends the way millionaires do. Behave the way millionaires behave. In every sense, act just as if you are already a millionaire. Experience the feeling of being a millionaire and feel the emotion of it all.

The whole goal setting process and actualization of it all comes down to belief.

“Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you’re right.” ~ Henry Ford

I would like to thank all my readers for being here for me and taking your time to read my blog. As a token of appreciation, if you are seriously looking to design and style your life for the next ten years, check out Darren Hardy’s free goal setting course – Designing The Best 10 Years Of Your Life. This will help you in setting goal for 2010 and designing your dream life with a strategic roadmap. For me, I am going to be following Darren Hardy’s free goal setting process and start my very own personal goal setting.

Have a blessed year ahead!

Setting New Goals

Today is the first day of the New Year and a new decade.

It is an opportune time for you to set new goals.  Many people are skeptical about goal setting.  They say resolutions are made only to be broken.

Look at the positive side instead of listening to naysayers.  Confucius once said: “A man who aims at nothing is sure to hit it.”

In 1953, a group of students graduated from Yale University.

They met again 10 years later in a class reunion.  On checking notes, they realized that the top 3 per cent of the class earned more than three times the salaries of the remaining 97 per cent.

The difference, they uncovered, was that the people in the 3 per cent group set goals in 1953 to be successful in their lives.

How’s that for inspiring you to set goals?

Another top business man I coached had his goals written on a card kept I his wallet

Ever time he withdrew money or used his credit cards, he would look at his goals.  The card was a useful reminder for him to reach his goals.

What is the best way to set goals?  As a guide, goals should be:

1.  Compelling

Set goals that are so important and inspirational that you yearn to achieve them by hook or by crook.  If you are motivated, the probability of accomplishing your goals is much higher.

Listen to your inner voice.  What are the things you must achieve next year or in the next decade?

2.  Meaningful

Your goals should have a purpose.

If you want to aim for a certain level of income, what is the purpose of it?  What do you want to do with the money?  How does this money make you a better person?

Put your goals in a context.

3.  Specific

The more specific your goals are, the easier it is for you to focus on them.

Your brain is like a heat-seeking missile. The unconscious part of your brain will automatically programme specific goals into your mind and seek to achieve them.

Along with specificity, simplicity is another virtue.  Aim for simple and specific goals.

4.  Tangible

Do you want to list happiness as a goal?  It is intangible and not measurable.  How do you measure happiness or contentment?

Make your goals tangible – something you can touch and measure.  If it is tangible, you will notice the evidence as you progress towards it.

5.  Responsible

Do not set any goals that are damaging to the environment or hurtful to others.

SUCCESS ENABLERS

-     Vakog

In the terminology of neurolinguistic programming, insert all the five senses – visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory (smell) and gustatory (taste) – into your goals.

Your goals will become more vivid.  Be a spectator and see what your goals look like.

If you want to purchase a new apartment, for example, visualize what the living room will look like, what sounds you will hear when you open the window, the feel of the carpet, the cooking aroma from the kitchen and the taste of your favourite dish in the dining room.

If you incorporate the five senses into your goals, they become a part of you.

-     Rewards

Along with your goals, list your rewards. T he theory of motivation states that what gets rewarded gets repeated.

When you achieve part of your goals, reward yourself with small gifts like a DVD, a book or a set meal.   Rewards, however small. Serve as a motivational force to achieve the next stage of your goals.

-     Secondary gains

Be careful that your goals are not loaded with secondary gains.

For example, if you want to quit smoking but its secondary gains convince you that smoking is macho, makes you look cool and gets you accepted among your friends, then your unconscious mind will deliberately avoid making you quit smoking.

DON’T GIVE UP

In the face of adversity, continue to pursue your goals.  Persistence is the key to success.   All successful people persevere.  A Sicilian proverb hits the nail on the head: “When a door is losing in front of you, look for the main gate that is opening.”

Network Marketing Lead Generation

Many people had used Squidoo to assist them in boosting their network marketing lead generation through opt in lead.  You too can do this if you take the effort to look into some of the top Squidoo lens and use applications such as  keywords tools and top search words.  That should help you to improve Google ranking for your Squidoo lens.

Squidoo allows you to create as many lenses as you want.  You do not need to fear Squidoo shutting you down.  It is best to create more specialized lenses using long tail keywords which you can obtain from keywords tools.  Once you apply these long tial keywords to your niche, you can start to climb up the rank on Google.

Do link your related lenses as this helps to generate web traffic.  The more links you have ultimately draws more visitors which then allows your Squidoo lens to move up the Google rank.

Once you publish your lenses, work on ‘link love’.  This means creating links back to your Squidoo site.  Also known as back links, these links will help to bring your Squidoo lenses up the Google ranks.  As Squidoo loves such back links, it is to your benefit to create links from your keywords and use them as your anchor text.  When you do this, your Google ranking check will improve as well because Google seems to love Squidoo lenses.  So if you are looking at generating web traffic to your network marketing site, work on this area.

Another way of using Squidoo to generate traffic to your website is to set up the RSS feed. This is a great traffic generation tool and once you have set up the RSS feed accordingly, anytime you update your lens, Squidoo will update automatically.  An RSS module is available which helps you to post fresh content to your site whenever you update your website or blog.

If you are seriously looking into network marketing lead generation to grow your network marketing business, you need to seriously consider the Squidoo lens to build your credibility especially in your niche area.  Because Squidoo is a free tool and with  the ease of building a Squidoo lens, more and more people are looking at creating Squidoo lenses. By setting up your Squidoo lens, you become an authority in that particular niche.  Make it a point to write single pages and adding to them.  Never push your product or opportunity at your visitors.  The best is to aim for them to opt in so that you can follow up with them via autoresponder messages.

Your Squidoo lens can be an introduction of yourself and branding yourself as an expert in your niche area.  You can discuss about your product and its benefits. At the same time, you can share your home based business opportunity with others.

Not only can Squidoo generate web traffic to your site, you can also generate some revenue as well.  When you add widgets such as Amazon and eBay to your Squidoo lenses, you not only enhance your lenses but gain an alternative way of making some extra money online.  Remember to keep to related products and any sales made will give you a 50% commission.  The Google Adsense ads that are automatically displayed on your Squidoo lens will also earn you some revenue.

Adding additional features such as the guestbook module will allow visitors to put in their comments.  This is great as you can have some interaction with your visitors.  You can also visit other lenses pertaining to your niche and add in your comments as well.  These help to build one way links which are a great way to generate web traffic.

Submit your lenses to the various blog directories which accept Squidoo submissions.  You can also promote your Squidoo lenses by using signature in email and forums.

Being a popular social network site, Squidoo can be an effective tool to generate web traffic for your network marketing lead generation website.  There is of course work to be done, one of which would be to improve Google ranking of your Squidoo site by making use of keywords tools as well as top search words and set up RSS feed.  All this will serve to improve the power of your Squidoo lens.

Generate Web Traffic

Is it possible to generate web traffic via Squidoo?  I have contacts who use Squidoo to boost their network marketing lead generation by making use of the search engine optimization to improve Google ranking to get their Squidoo sites up on Google’s fist few pages which helps to drive web traffic to their website.

Before you start building your Squidoo page, better known as lens, you need to set up a free account with Squidoo.  Once you have created your Squidoo account, you will be able to start creating your Squidoo lens.  As this lens will be hosted by Squidoo, you do not have to worry about signing up with a hosting company.

Next, take a look at some of the most popular lenses.  What does the page look like?  What is their niche?  Who is their target market?  What sort of content is the site populated with?  Can you provide a better lens?

If you wish to have your page ranked high on the Google search engine, which means appearing on the first page of Google if not the top spot, which by the way is not impossible, you need to use specially targeted keywords.  The first thing you need to do is to do your research using keywords tools to find a keyword rich name for your Squidoo lens utilising one of the top search words.  This will give your Squidoo url a much higher chance of being noticed during the Google ranking check, thus improving your Google ranking by leaps and bounds.  Using the search engine optimized way will definitely help to generate web traffic to your sites.

Once you have settled on your keyword rich name, be sure to load up great keyword rich quality content on your Squidoo lens.  If you already have some articles of blog posts that are relevant, you can have those placed on your Squidoo lens.  Using long tail keyword phrases which have less competition will be hugely beneficial in your Google ranking.  Make your lens useful.

Do take note that if you wish to remain on the first page of the Google ranking check, you will be required to regularly upload your Squidoo lens with new and fresh content.  This is because both Google and Squidoo love fresh content.  The trick is not to post all your contents at the same time.  Do it over a period of time to satisfy the need for fresh and new content.

It is beneficial to load your Squidoo lens with some graphics to enhance your site.  However, do plan the use of graphics well so that you do not distract visitors to your site.  The look of your lens will determine if your visitor stays to find out what your site has to offer or just clicks away. I am sure that after spending much time and effort to generate web traffic, you do not want to lose your visitors just because your site looks boring or difficult to read.

If you are not sure how your lens will look like in the eyes of your visitors, you can ask a friend or two to take a look at your site and give you their honest and frank opinion on how to improve the site to make it more effective and attractive to your website visitors.  This is something not many people do.  However by doing so, you can be assured that your Squidoo lens will be more attractive to most people.

The more attractive your lens, the more value you provide, the greater is the likelihood that your visitors will read what you have to offer on your site and the easier it is to generate an opt in lead.

This will help to increase your database of opt in leads, thus building your list of opt in subscribers.  Once they opt in, you effectively receive their permission to send them information about your program.

Squidoo is a great and cost free way to generate opt in leads especially if you are seriously looking at network marketing lead generation.  By using keywords tools and applying top search words in your Squidoo title, this can help improve Google ranking of your Squidoo lens.

Online Web Marketing

In the first part, we covered the deadly sin of online web marketing which is to pitch your mlm network marketing business and internet home business opportunity at the first opportune moment that you can find.  How can you keep the MLM network marketing lead which you generate loyal to you?  Do you make it a habit to send out thank you follow up letter via you email autoresponder?

Think abundance.  Always give more than you receive.  Regularly send out free valuable information and share any incredible offers you may have.   Avoid the sin of keeping everything to yourself and just sharing if you feel it will benefit you.  What you give out now will come back to you ten-fold in the future.

I have found that sending inspirational stories is a great way to connect with your leads as well especially for your home business opportunity.  Somehow people just love such motivational and inspirational stories, thus they form a good way to bridge the gap between you and your leads.  The better you are able to bridge the gap, the more loyal your leads will be.

Research has shown that it is more difficult to make the first sale to a new customer but once your prospects and leads have made their first purchase with you, they are five times more likely to purchase from you again in the future.  Treasure your customers because without them, you will be struggling forever.  A thank you follow up letter works wonders.

Keeping in touch with your leads via the email autoresponder system is critical to your success in your online web marketing businesses and is a sure way of allowing you to create more income for your online web marketing business.
