We All Have Weaknesses in Business - What’s Yours?

Years ago many consultants, speakers and authors taught that we must work on our weaknesses in order to succeed. Then there was the period where we were told to only focus on our strengths. The fact is, we must know both our strengths and weaknesses in order to fully position our offerings to our market. It is crucial to be completely and totally honest about your strengths and weaknesses. Don’t overlook this step,

Blab... Fad or Fabulous?

The first I heard of Blab.im was when my buddy, Brian G. Johnson posted on Facebook he was hosting a Blab. Shortly thereafter, Joel Comm was promoting his Blab. Before I knew it, many of my friends and colleagues were Blabbing and having a great time doing so. My initial thought was, "Oh no! Not another BSO - bright shiny object." With all the new distractions on social media, I truly thought this was just one more to add to the bone yard of soon to be forgotten ways to mindlessly fill time online.

Solutions May Surface in the Still of the Night

“Necessity is the mother of invention!” The first time I heard this was nearly twenty years ago when I was introduced to Tony Robbins’ material. I have to admit, the first time I heard this it didn’t quite register. However, nearly three decades later, it makes all the sense in the world. In fact, a majority of the things we take for granted were created out of a need. When the need became great enough, someone figured out a solution.

1% or 99%...which are you?

1%. This is just about the percentage of people who buy information products, attend seminars, listen to CDs to learn something who will actually do anything with the material. I am in the 1%. Why? Because I have a philosophy that has served me well. Whenever I invest in something I will immediately figure out a way to recoup my investment. This simply means I am going to study the information and implement the information. Will I implement everything all at once? No. But I will do something to gain value from what I purchase and the time invested.

Defining success on your terms

What is success? Success in the truest sense is a very personal thing. It’s not uncommon to fall into the trap of letting others tell us what we must do to be successful or deciding for others what success should mean to them. Parents do this as do spouses. Friends do this as do bosses. Neighbors do this as do clergy.

The Old Model vs. The New Model of Online Book Marketing

Recently I surveyed a group of several hundred authors. "What's your greatest challenge with marketing and selling your book(s)?" was the only question asked. The results were as follows: 38% knowledge 33% time 17% money 7% fear 5% other It’s not surprising knowledge ranked the highest with time a close second. When most authors dream of their book being read by people around the globe, they often forget one small detail; they have to do most of the marketing.

30 Day Challenges...They DO Work!

When I initially agreed to do a 30 Day Blog Challenge, I had no idea how beneficial it would be. Eleven days into the experience, I’m finding it has given me a new level of discipline and focus that has far reaching benefits. It was during a private mastermind meeting with my clients that I first agreed to the Challenge. I was leading a discussion on the importance of short term goals to achieve specific results. The conversation geared around visibility.

4 Signs You Are Holding Yourself Back

In the time I’ve been in business and coaching others there are four phrases I’ve heard over and over that, quite seriously, are holding people back. 1. I don’t know what to do. Okay, so you don’t know what to do. What are you going to do about it? The difference between those who succeed and those who want to succeed is this; the ones who will succeed are going to figure out what to do. They quit repeating the mantra, “I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what to do” as if their life depended on it.

Authors: Your words have the power to transform, influence and change minds!

“It seems from all I’m seeing; your major focus is on writing and marketing books. What’s gotten you so excited about this right now?” Brian Basilico, host It’s Not About You, It’s About Bacon Podcast show, asked me during a recent interview. “Now more than ever, we’re at a really critical time in our world and words have the power to change lives. I’m committed to helping as many authors get their message out in a big way,” I responded. This was the kickoff to a lively conversation between Brian and myself.

To Make Money You Must Know Your Market

Regardless of how much or how little marketing knowledge you have, it is essential to always know who your market is and is not. It’s also important to accept that your marketing strategy should change as your business changes. And of course you must know your limitations in terms of budget, time, and resources. When I started my business in 1994, I dealt primarily with a corporate client base. Today I work primarily with solopreneurs and microbusinesses. Although the essence of how I market is strikingly similar to what it was in the nineties, the message is different.

Teleseminars - Making money with them

In the last few days I have coached several new clients who were misled into believing the BS of getting rich quick on the Internet. I have heard a similar story from several people so I definitely lean toward believing that there are some so called “experts” telling people when they buy program X, Y or Z; go through a quick study class; put up a website they can sit back and watch the money pour in. They are being told they won’t have to do much of anything to make a ton of money. I can’t begin to tell you how frustrating this is for me.

Pull marketing - attraction marketing at its best

One of the primary reasons most entrepreneurs won’t achieve the highest level of success in their business is their lack of effective marketing. One of the most important types of marketing you need to learn is pull marketing. As the name implies, pull marketing is persuading consumers to visit your various online locations to get them to either buy something or subscribe to your opt-in list. It is about generating traffic to your website, blog, and landing pages.

Authors: How to Effectively Use YouTube to Market Your books AND Position Your Expertise

I’ve had a YouTube channel for years. Until recently, I didn’t have a focused theme. I was all over the place uploading videos that addressed many topics. Whatever struck my fancy, I would turn on my camera or iPhone and presto! a video was created. Although some of my videos received thousands of views, the majority had under 100 views each. Not a good return on investment for the time it takes to shoot a video and upload it. The amount of work that goes into a video with 10 views compared to 10,000 views is the same.

Success Is Not Always Convenient

Recently I offered an open, hop on the phone line, Q&A session. It was on a Saturday and I made myself available for two hours to answer as many questions about building your business as possible during that time. To encourage people to get on the line I announced the call would not be recorded. I also let it be known no opt in was required. Just show up and ask questions. Simple. A few things happened that I didn’t expect. One: the number of people who showed up was beyond what I thought the call would attract. Awesome! Two: the questions were fabulous.

Miss This in Your Marketing and You May Destroy Your Business!

It never ceases to amaze me when I hear about or experience a company that forgets the basics of Marketing 101. Lots of companies use all the latest and greatest marketing strategies to attract business, yet forget one of the most effective forms of marketing; stellar customer service. It seems more and more companies are overlooking this type of marketing. Or, they think that offering so/so customer service is good enough. That may be fine for an average business, selling an average product or service, to people who don’t care about anything but the cheapest price and the greatest bargain.

The quickest route to manifesting your book to #1 on Amazon

I consider myself to be very grounded in logic. As well, I understand the principles and energy around the law of attraction. As such, on Facebook I belong to business groups, spiritual groups, groups that talk about manifesting and health and well-being groups. Often, in the spiritual groups there are discussions about how to manifest one’s dreams. This is a topic that always seems to spark a lot of interest. It’s as if people are waiting for some untold secret on how we manifest what we want.r

5 Proven Ways to Get Book Reviews

Getting a book published is a lot easier, and simpler, than in years past. From idea to publication it can be a matter of weeks, even days. As in the past, publishing is the easy part. Sure, in the eyes of the author, that may seem far-fetched. Yet, ask any author who has made money from their books and they will likely say the marketing takes more effort. You see, once the book is written, it’s done. With marketing, it’s an ongoing process. One that must be attended to on a daily basis, if you want to get the best results possible.

Create a Targeted, Problem-Solving Ethical Bribe To Build Your List

Most people have heard they should build an opt-in list. This is true. But it’s not just any list. Your greatest results come from building a targeted and responsive list. You will be in a better position to put sales on autopilot when you do. The best way to build your list is have a stellar gift you offer in exchange for someone’s name and email address. Mind you, it’s not any gift you need to offer. It must be enticing to the end user. It must solve a problem for them.

Can any book become a bestseller?

Find joint venture (JV) partners with big mailing lists, slap an email message together, have all JV partners send it out on the same date and presto! You are a bestselling author. Garbage! That's exactly what the previous statement is. It's garbage. As someone who has been involved in dozens upon dozens of online book launches I have heard every description of what an online launch is and is not. Sadly, many people are completely in the dark when it comes to what creating and implementing a successful launch is all about.

If one more person tells me I'm so lucky...

A little more than six months ago, I was training for a marathon as a power walker. During one of my longer workout sessions, I hit a pothole and instantly broke my ankle. I was literally stopped in my tracks. Knowing I would be laid up for a few weeks, I took the first few days to relax and enjoy lounging on the couch. This was a great opportunity to review my business to determine if it was structured as soundly as I believed it to be.

It’s not uncommon to look at someone who seems to have it all together and compare our insides with their outsides. Dig deeper and you may be surprised that even the most successful people deal with fear, doubt and uncertainty. The difference though, is they have a different way of handling situations. Successful people can also have these universal questions come up:r • Who am I?r • Why am I here for?r • What should I really be doing with my life? Sure, not everyone goes through this, but it is a lot more common than most people realize.

#1 Rule of Affiliate Marketing and Sales

Recently someone asked me what I think the #1 rule of affiliate marketing is. Actually, there’s more than one top rule, but here’s top of the list. #1 RULE: Pay your affiliates what you owe them when you owe them. Nothing can sour an affiliate relationship faster than you owing someone money or not paying them when you agreed to. Another rule: Pay them what they really earned. The best thing to do to avoid any confusion is to assure ahead of time the affiliate knows when you pay, how you pay and if you hold back any money in case of refunds.

Teleseminars -- Getting through the noise of the competition

When it comes to offering teleseminars the fact is there is an incredible amount of competition. In years past this was not the case. There were a handful of people offering their training by way of a teleseminar. Today this is not the way it is. Teleseminars are a dime a dozen. Does that mean you shouldn't offer them? Of course not! What it means is you have to raise your own bar in what you are offering. You also have to know what sets you apart from the competition. And . . . you need to know what your competition is offering to the market.

Only the chosen few make money with the Internet...Give me a break!

Only people who are selling information about how to be an Internet Marketer are making money online! I can’t tell you the number of times I have heard this statement from someone who downloads a free report, buys an information product or enrolls in some type of a mentoring course.

Create Your Vision of Success

Most marketing strategies are about being in motion. Have a plan, be proactive, and take the necessary action steps. Although being proactive is a necessary aspect of marketing, an often overlooked and yet equally important part is your company’s internal perception. Many companies put a lot of effort into all the external aspects of what they do, yet completely overlook what is happening due to internal perception. Internal perception includes your thoughts and beliefs; the internal dialogues and thought processes you have regarding your business, your industry and your customers/clients.

You have to be honest with yourself to grow your business

Today I received a message from a new client who hired me to help her get on track with growing her service based business. Her greatest challenge is knowing how to streamline her efforts to accomplish more in a shorter period of time. Like many people, she is busy all day long, but not necessarily productive. There’s a saying, “In order for things to change, I must change.” A primary reason people hire a coach is to change the way they are doing things to be much more productive.

Lately there's been lots of conversations, postings in forums and in social networks about whether or not Social Marketing is useful or a complete waste of time for authors.

A Huge Misconception about Online Marketing

Sales and marketing is about making people aware of what you offer and creating the opportunity for people to make a decision based on their wants and needs. If you believe in what you do, you owe it to your market to let them know what you offer. To not do this is a disservice to your market. Primary reasons people won't succeed at marketing: • Fear of the unknow • Not knowing what to do • Not knowing who their target market is

I’ve been consulting with authors for many years now.
