5 Steps to Making Your Passion (or Interest) Profitable

They claim that if you pursue your passion, you will be successful. The notion is that your passion will carry you through all of the trials, tribulations, and setbacks that will eventually lead to your tremendous success.

There is some genuine truth to this.

Assume you're on your way to somewhere you don't particularly want to go, and you have a flat tire. This has to be a sign, right? Let's turn around and head back home.

However, if you're on your way to somewhere you've always wanted to go, a flat tire is only a little inconvenience. It won't change anything except ... read more

How to Revitalize Your Business in 30 Days with No Money Out of Pocket

Have you ever taken your car onto a frozen lake, parked it, cut a hole in the ice, and begun fishing?

If you live in a warm environment, this may seem like a foolish concept. Why would you remain on the ice for hours, freezing to death, waiting for a fish to awaken from its frigid slumber and bite your hook?

Making an ice-fishing shanty is one method to make this pastime more comfortable. This is a small construction that is pulled out onto the ice and is about the size of a garden shed. The construction features one or more trap ... read more

Do THIS to Lower Refunds And Increase Sales

Most new marketers make the costly error of believing that the sale is complete when the customer purchases the product.

Nope.

That is only the first sale.

Wise marketers who want to stay in business and profit realize that there are two more sales to be made.

First, you must persuade the new buyer of the superiority of your product. If you don't, you'll get additional refund demands.

Second, you must persuade your new customer to consume and use your products. When you do this, your new consumers are considerably more likely to buy further things from you, frequently at much greater prices.

Surprisingly, you can ... read more

How to Make Money on Twitch in 7 Easy Steps

Twitch streamers can earn six and seven figures per year. And, while Twitch is the most popular platform for gamers, you don't have to be a player to make money on it.

What exactly is Twitch?

Twitch, which is owned by Amazon, is the world's top live streaming network for gamers and other lifestyle casters. Twitch streamers broadcast their games or activity by sharing their live screens with fans and subscribers, forming communities around a shared and streamable interest.

Twitch is not only for gamers. There is a vast range of programming available, including live and recorded music, sports, travel, food, and conversation ... read more

The Psychological Method for Getting Things Done

They conducted an experiment in the 1970s to see if the same college students who brought in their assignments on time also had clean socks. (This is not a joke; they actually did it.)

The idea was that people who completed their schoolwork would also complete their personal chores.

However, the outcomes were the opposite of what they had hoped for. Students who turned in assignments on time were bad at keeping up with laundry, while students who kept up with laundry sent in work late.

What's going on?

Researchers eventually discovered that we have a finite quantity of attention and willpower to devote ... read more

In 24 Hours, Discover Your Most Profitable Price Point

Will you make more money if you charge $47 for a product than if you charge $27?

Consider it...

It is not only the price that is important, but also the conversion rate.

If $27 converts at nearly twice the rate or better than $47, then $27 is a superior pricing point for you.

But what if you charge $37 instead? Maybe $37 is the winning price, but you won't know till you test.

And, if you have any costs associated with fulfillment, such as if you provide services, you must account for those as well.

Doesn't it get complicated quickly?

But I heard about the '100 ... read more

This Email Line Increases Your Monthly Income by $500-1000

This is absolutely old school, but most marketers never do it.

In fact, it can add several hundred dollars or more to your monthly income.

And it only takes a line or two of text in your emails to accomplish this.

What exactly is it?

The signature line.

In every email you send to your list, include a simple signature line with a link to an offer as a footer.

This may apply to one of your main products, such as your coaching program or a high-end course.

Yes, that almost sounds too simple, doesn't it?

For a few of reasons, you're unlikely to obtain a lot of ... read more

17.5 Easy Ways to Make the Most of Your Day and Feel Great

What happens when the most recent scientific information is combined with everyday, simple habits?

You begin to believe that you can do, be, and achieve anything.

First, a little backstory to establish the scene...

Neuromodulators such as dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine, and others, according to Dr. Andrew Huberman, modulate and boost the activity of some brain circuits while suppressing the activity of others.

When dopamine is released, for example, it causes certain brain areas to function better and others to function less well. Dopamine boosts energy and motivation while also causing us to focus on things other than ourselves. It improves our inner well-being while ... read more

Hate Testing? Try This Instead

You already know that the higher the conversion rate of your funnel, the more money you may generate. You can spend more money on advertising or affiliate commissions and still make a lot of money.

Of course, the trick is to get your sales funnel to convert well. And in order to do so, you must test... well... everything. You should test the sales copy that leads someone to your squeeze page, the copy on the page, the look of the page, the title of the freebie you're giving away, the cover of that freebie, the offer they see when they ... read more

Side Business Case Study: 5 Figures per month

I've seen three different marketers perform a variation of this business, all with the same result – they earn at least $5000 each month, and generally twice that.

Two of them are completely unknown marketers who work on this in their spare time.

The third marketer is a reasonably well-known figure, and you've probably heard of him. He doesn't do any of this on his own. He just outsources the entire process and earns more than $10,000 a month as a result.

They are all involved in the web marketing industry. Essentially, they assist new marketers in quickly establishing a profitable business of ... read more

Before the Launch, The T-Spring Method of Guaranteed Profits

This isn't about selling t-shirts; rather, it's about the lessons we can learn from t-shirt sellers that will put money in our pockets before we ever produce the product.

When you sell shirts on T-Spring, you are not obligated to invest any money until you receive the orders.

Assume your goal is to sell 50 t-shirts for $15 each. You promote the shirts on social media, and buyers commit to purchasing them. However, you are not required to pay for any shirts until you hit the 50-order level, or whatever number you have set.

When you reach 50, the customers are billed, and ... read more

How to Profit from Other People's Content

I want to be clear straight away that there is NO theft involved in this.

In truth, professionals have been doing the same thing for as long as people have been creating tales, content, and so on.

I'll give you some examples from movies:

Bridget Jones' Diary (2001) is a modern version of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

The 1995 film Clueless is based on Jane Austen's Emma.

Cruel Intentions (1999) is a contemporary version of Pierre Choderlos de Lacios' Les Liasons Dangereuses (1792).

Pretty Woman (1990) and She's All That (1993) are both based on George Bernard Shaw's 1912 drama Pygmalion (1999).

In disguise, 10 Things ... read more

This Mind-Flip That Makes Failure Impossible

Leaving aside every self-help book on the market, I'd like to propose the hypothesis that there is ONE thing you need to be successful, and that you already have it.

You just don't realize it yet.

Two marketers began their online journey ten years ago. They each encountered comparable stumbling blocks and failures.

One of them went on to make a fortune.

The other one failed badly and now works a regular 9-to-5 job.

What was the deciding factor?

The mental flip.

Assume you had a switch in your brain, and whenever you experience any form of setback, you turn that switch to discover the positive in ... read more

Newsletter Curation generates $3,500 per month.

Have I ever told you how much I love recurring income?

Here's a quick case study of a guy who publishes not one, but FOUR separate newsletters twice a month.

These are really simple newsletters that contain all of the most recent information he's collected on the internet regarding the topics.

How does he keep up with all the newest news, articles, blog entries, stories, video clips, images, and so on?

Google alerts.

Yes, it is that simple.

He sets up a dozen or so Google alerts for terms and phrases relevant to each niche, and Google provides him with free content.

In some circumstances, he requests ... read more

Case Study: A Simple Newsletter Earns $140,000 in Six Months

Because competition is a real concern in this case study, I am not permitted to identify the particular niche.

Fortunately, this strategy applies to any niche where you can save customers money on something they currently buy. It will also function in a variety of other niches, but for the time being, let's focus on the money-saving aspect.

For the sake of argument, I'll modify the specialty to air travel, and we'll pretend it's not during a pandemic.

This gentleman – let's call him Vinnie – set up an information email list where he distributed free information about inexpensive flights. I've modified the ... read more

In just ten minutes, you can add $500 to any promotion.

The $500 value was chosen at random. You might earn an extra $100 to $2000 or even more depending on the scale of the promotion.

The following is how it works:

Consider including a one-time deal for your own personal email assistance for an additional cost whenever you advertise a product, whether it's your own or an affiliate one.

For example, you're offering a $47 product that teaches customers how to train their horses. You provide your own personal email support for a set period of time to answer any queries customers have about putting the information in the product into practice.

When it ... read more

How to Raise Prices Without Upsetting Customers And How to Lower Prices Without Previous Customers Throwing a Fit

I once knew a marketer who refused to drop his prices under any circumstances. He was always afraid that past customers would be mad that the course they paid $197 for a month or a year ago now cost $97. Heck, they might even seek a refund for the difference in price. I'm sure he imagined that every single one of his clients was glued to their computers, waiting for the price to drop so they could complain.

They weren't, in case you didn't know.

And I've known a lot of marketers that refused to raise their prices. They were fearful of ... read more

In 2021, how will digital marketing change?

Businesses have been pushed from the offline to the internet world at breakneck pace as a result of Covid-19, making digital marketing more competitive than ever.

How are you going to compete in 2021?

1: If you haven't already, it's time to become serious about producing a lot of high-quality material. You need a lot of content on the internet every day, whether it's one sentence on social media or an entire white paper.

2: Adjust the size of your article. Consider going smaller instead of writing super large authority-type posts of perhaps 3000 words that completely cover a topic. Short articles that ... read more
