3 Reasons Why Your Subscription Rates Are So Low

Posted on May 19, 2013 | In Guest Appearances

“I’m sure I could get more subscribers – I just don’t know how. Can you take a look and tell what to do?” I find that question in my inbox almost every day. And I really want to help. But 90% of the time, I wish I had a post I could point people to [...]

Why Creating a Mutual Understanding with Your Readers is Critical to Blogging Success… and How I Did It

Posted on May 9, 2013 | In Guest Appearances

We live in a Golden Age of Publishing. Creating a blog is easier than ever. But, once the blog is up and running, then come the problems. Many new bloggers do a ton of busy work at first, but fail to build the one thing that sustains a blog long-term: mutual understanding with readers! What’s this? [...]

Game of Forums – How To Be A Conversation “Firestarter”

Posted on May 3, 2013 | In Guest Appearances

They’re out there… in the world wide world… searching, seeking, desperate for help and guidance. All they want is a little light in the darkness, answers to an ever-growing list of questions and a little mentoring throughout the vast online-unknown.

Who am I describing? The overwhelming majority of beginner forum-members.

Who is the light in the darkness? The Firestarters of these forums.

Who is a Firestarter? The moderators, advice-givers, wisdom-revealers and light-bearers; The Knights of the Square Table!

We pay tribute to these valiant & honorable warriors, who expect nothing in return for their leadership, bestowing a wealth of knowledge upon the masses who sorely need guidance.

Firestarters are good shepherds, amongst a battlefield sometimes littered with shallow tips that often end in endorsement-laden solutions.

Advice-seekers sift through IM forums, sometimes frantically digging for solutions to a major issue that is causing them stress and unrest. They have probably already spent some money on guides & tools that got them nowhere, they need real advice, they need someone to stay with them for a while. They need you.

8 Reasons You Have To Be On Video & How To Get Started Today

Posted on May 1, 2013 | In Guest Appearances

No Traffic? No Conversions? Here’s the Solution…

Did you know that most visitors stay on your site an average of just 17 seconds?

It’s shocking statistic and it reveals why your website may not be performing as well as you’d like, making the sales you want or delivering the lifestyle you were promised.

Think about it. If visitors don’t hang around, you lose your chance to build a relationship with them and ultimately sell something.

But I have good news.

It’s actually dead simple to turn a “boring” website around and not only keep people’s attention as long as you wish, but get them to bring their friends too.

The secret is to tap into the awesome power of VIDEO to start showing people the important things instead of trying to get it across in text.

Video is your secret weapon that effortlessly keeps their attention for valuable minutes.

When people spend more time with you, they’ll start to get to know you better. And when they start to like and trust you, the sales follow.

And that’s just one of 8 reasons you absolutely have to be on video if you want to skyrocket your business and build deep, lasting relationships with your tribe…

The Mayan Way of Looking at Community

Posted on April 29, 2013 | In Guest Appearances

If you have heard the phrase, and have an understanding of the meaning of the phrase, stop reading.

There is nothing new for you to learn here.

With the phrase I have told you everything.

It is the Mayan way of viewing the community.

If you haven’t heard or read the phrase before, please be a little patient. I promise to tell you, in just a second.

I am new to blogging, and I have to tell you that I certainly don’t yet have a big list of followers, or a community, as maybe you do.

If you already have a big online following, and you feel great about it, Congratulations! The Mayan view of community will help expand your way of viewing your community, and will help you generate more and deeper relationships, with significantly increased conversions.

If you don’t, and you’re like me, just beginning on the online audience building journey – these insights are important as well – even more so.

I am building my online community, and it is growing, little by little. I like it that way. I plan to grow it, a step at a time, the way it should be done, by using the Slow Drip Method for Building a Massive Following, and the Mayan view of a community.

I have every expectation and more that it will be successful, because I’m challenging convention, and drawing on ideas and value that goes back centuries.

If this intrigues you – please read on…

Why You Need a Big Idea Before You Publish Any More Content

Posted on April 25, 2013 | In Guest Appearances

Consultants love to tell you what they think is wrong with your business. There’s always a theory on why you’re not attracting the customers you want.

I’m sure you’ve heard some of these statements along the way:

  • “You don’t have enough presence on social media. You need to engage more.”
  • “Your site isn’t well optimized for Google and your backlink profile is not the best.”
  • “You’re not publishing enough content! And you need to promote the content you do have.”
  • “You don’t have any lead-generating material on your website. You’re wasting all your traffic.”

In fact, I’m pretty sure I’ve said these phrases in some form or another multiple times.

But there’s something more important… more vital… and way more powerful that may be missing from your business that’s holding you back from being successful: A Big Idea.

School of Hard Knocks: What 18 Hours of Painful Labor Taught this Mama About Marketing Mojo

Posted on April 23, 2013 | In Guest Appearances

Sometimes it’s simply impossible to get everything done, especially when you are one of the growing hordes of Mums and Dads juggling business-building and kids.

It’s not that your marketing efforts have completely flopped, it’s just that it never seems to be enough to get you the results you are after.

There’s always more that needs doing and there’s never enough time.

Before you know it, the day is over and you have to pick up the kids from daycare or school. You haven’t even begun that blog post you were supposed to write today and yet again, you’ve put off time on social media because something urgent came up with a client.

If you could just get 5 hours more a week to focus solely on marketing, you just know that your traffic, subscribers and income would skyrocket.

But where to find the time?

Reality Check – How You’ll Really Get from 0 to 1,000 Subscribers in 6 Months

Posted on April 21, 2013 | In Guest Appearances

Maybe the most common question people ask from me is, “How can I build my list quickly?”

It’s about as common as “How do I get more traffic?”

I think guest posting is a great way to build your list – that’s no secret – especially when you’re starting out.

But do you know what it really takes to get 1,000 subscribers?

There’s a lot of hype, exaggerations, and even outright lies around about building a blog or online business.

So, a quick reality check is in order…

Reliable Income Every Month, On Your Own Terms

Posted on April 19, 2013 | In Guest Appearances

That’s what you really want, but it’s not happening.

When you step back and take a good look at your business, you realize that you don’t have a clear system that is already working. It’s not like you can consistently do X and make $Y.

You dip in and out of thinking you know what you’re doing, followed by periods of mass overwhelm and confusion.

Everything is a struggle.

To your credit, you’re working incredibly hard whilst juggling everything else you know you need to do to survive. But the odds are you have little support and understanding for what you’re trying to achieve and sometimes you feel like just giving up.

But this isn’t how it was suppose to be!

When you conceived of the idea of your business you probably pictured something along the lines of:

  • working four hours a day,
  •  sipping coffee and checking your emails in cafes,
  •  having the flexibility to disappear off for the weekend at a moments’ notice,
  •  being your own boss,
  •  racking in the dollars, and
  •  feeling confident and self-assured all the time.

But here you are right now, and that image of how you’d love your life to be is a frustratingly distant visualisation that you are still striving for.

You’re still stuck struggling with tasks that drain your energy, battling internally to figure out how you can afford to outsource something, while your income is barely keeping you afloat. Tension and stress tend to greet you for breakfast, instead of hot croissants and room service.

So what happened?

Training Your Blog to Work for Your Podcast

Posted on April 17, 2013 | In Guest Appearances

The promises of podcasts are pretty great: through the medium of audio you can interact with your audience and provide tons of value in a refreshing way. Podcasts provide you with the opportunity to catch and engage with your audience even when they are away from their computers; they also help to humanize your brand through the sound of your voice.

Unfortunately, when little interaction takes place between you and your audience, you may find yourself singing Pink Floyd: hello, is anybody out there? The preparations and hard work that are necessary to run a podcast can leave you feeling exhausted without an actively engaged audience.

You need them to keep you motivated.

The question is: how do you get them?

The answer may be right in front of you in the form of your blog. Like a lot of situations in life, this is a case where two is better than one. By branding your podcast to compliment the happenings of your blog you can increase not only the attention your podcast receives but the satisfaction it warrants. Audience members will appreciate a complimentary source that dives deeper and/or offers twists in perception.

Here’s how to make it happen…

How to Make Profitable Decisions

Posted on April 9, 2013 | In Guest Appearances

In a spin, lost in confusion and not really knowing quite what to do in order to fix the business and make it more profitable?

Maybe you’ve been there?

Wracked by decision overload, not sure if you’re picking the right thing, and generally just feeling overwhelmed by it all?

And as a go-getting, inspired entrepreneur it wouldn’t be surprising if you have. At any one time there are at least a dozen different decisions you can make, and often in trying to pick the “right” decision it is easier to hedge one’s bets and try and do everything instead. What ensues is often overwhelm, and lack lustre results.

Now, if you’re anything like the forward-thinking, inspired folks I mentor, you probably spend a lot of your waking time trying to be positive, trying to find a strategy or tactic that is going to work for you. But unknown to everyone else around you whilst you’re outwardly being positive and proactive, you’re perhaps also secretly beating yourself up inside and kicking yourself for not having made more progress yet.

And maybe you internalize these results and attribute a meaning to it like – “Maybe I’m just no good at business”, or “I can’t make money, no matter how much I try”, or “maybe I’m just not wired to be successful”. If you do occasionally think like this, don’t worry – you’re not alone. And there is something we can do about it right now.

But there is one thing you need to know first…

5 Lessons from Donald Trump About Social Media

Posted on April 5, 2013 | In Guest Appearances

Despite the controversy surrounding him, Donald Trump is internationally known as a real estate magnate, best selling author, shrewd businessman and “The Apprentice” host. His net worth is $3.2 Billion, according to Forbes.

What many don’t know about Mr. Trump however, is the many challenges he had to face in order to taste success: unfortunate incidents like the loss of his executive team in a helicopter crash, or major bankruptcy.

Ups and downs, the wins and the failures, where nothing but the architectural factors for building the brand he is today – TRUMP.

If you’ve read at least one of his books like “The Art of the Deal” or “How to Get Rich“, you’ll start to realize what kept Donald in business… it’s the passion and sheer determination to compete in the marketplace, close deals, and become better on a daily basis, rather than the profit itself.

Imagine you had the once in a lifetime opportunity to sit down and talk with Mr. Donald Trump for 10 minutes about life, business and branding. Priceless, you’d say, right?

Not many can have this chance though, of course. At least we have the Internet, which is freely available 24/7. So, I went ahead, and immersed myself (for days) into web research mode. I almost went nuts.

What I’ve found in my journey is incredible. Real life lessons we can adjust and fit into our own business (for social media success) just like kids playing Lego. Some connections are evident, others require a shift in perspective – looking at things from new angles has its merits.

Let’s go through some inspiring quotes which I’ve found through my research and the social media lessons we can apply for our business, as a result.
