Intro
We all want it - financial
independence. There are a lot of vehicles that can get your there. One of the
best is internet marketing. Many realize it. They make a go at it - yet don't
succeed.
Why? It can be boiled
down to one phrase - wrong mindset.
However, changing your
mindset along doesn't guarantee success. Success is gotten through the
following the RIGHT mindset applied to a specific environment that has a
likelihood of profit.
If you approach internet
marketing with the right thinking,
and take that thinking and apply it into a model that has been proven to be
profitable, time and time again, you WILL meet with success.
It's inevitable.
In this report we will show you how to adopt this right
"success mindset" for internet marketing, and the best environments
to apply it in.
Internet Marketing Success
Mindset
You can choose to respond, or
react. There's a huge difference. Reaction would be - "well of course
gurus can make money because they can call all their buddies and have them mail
their lists and get a ton of traffic... but I can't do that...".
Respond would be - "how can I get in a position to
where I can have friends with lists, who if I call them, will send me a lot of
traffic?".
Reaction would be - "I am not very technical, so I am
very limited on what I can do online to make money."
Respond would be - "how can I handle the technical
aspects required in my business to make the money I want... or is there a way I
can bypass most of the technology all together and still reach my financial
goals?"
See the difference. One puts you in resourceful mindset, and
the other peoples you in a victim mindset.
A victim mindset is the enemy of money. A resourceful
mindset attracts RESOURCES to you - resources such as PROFIT.
You must CONDITION yourself to respond instead of react.
Reacting is what comes natural. Reacting is human nature. This is something you
most overcome to become successful. It's simple. First be aware of what you do
when challenges present themselves. Awareness alone can help you change.
Also, "catch and correct". Every time you catch
yourself REACTING to something, correct it by instead RESPONDING to a challenge
in a resourceful manner. You do this enough and pretty soon, automatically
you'll have programmed yourself to respond instead of react.
Here's another aspect of mindset you must master - long term
thinking. People who are habitual failures can only think a few steps ahead.
Every heard of the "shiny object" syndrome? It's when you buy one
product after another after another on the latest internet marketing fad. Even
if you didn't use the last 4 products you bought, you swear that this next one
is "the one" that will make all the difference.
Real talk - there is no "one" program that will
change everything for you. There isn't no magic bullet that will last for the
long term. You've been seduced by the siren song. That's okay - it happens to
all of us.
It's over with. That's the past. The future is where you
change your mindset so you don't fall victim to shiny object syndrome.
To do that, let's talk about success. Here's how it
happens... a bit here, a bit there, combined over time to produce a unique
system that gets results.
It's not "buy this software that can add 110,000 people
to your list over night". Now, I don't doubt some incredibly lucky and/or
savvy people have done that. But that's not what you want to base your business
on.
Instead, just think of you got really good on a simple,
fundamental technique that put 5 people a day on your opt in list.
What's more obtainable - an instant flood of traffic over
night, or slow, gradual growth in your business? Obviously, the latter is
easier.
Shiny object syndrome happens when you want immediate gains
- because that's what these shiny objects promise. INSTEAD, what if you wanted
gradual gains built on sound principles, that applied over time would meet with
success?
You'd be a lot more successful, that's for sure.
Now here's the kicker - making a skill unconscious. Let's
revisit that "5 a day" concept of getting just 5 people a day on your option list. At first, you might try this, that and other to make it happen. But
if you kept at it, eventually you'd iron out something that worked.
Then if you applied it over and over again, pretty soon you
could either do it in your sleep, or find a way to re-engineer it so it works
without your having to actively do it.
That's great - because now you can add in a second system
that gets you 5 more subscribers a day.
Or even better - you've now cultivated a skill. What if you
added another skill to it, and then combined the two to have an even more
valuable skill? Example - let's say you got your first 5 subscribers by doing
basic article marketing and sending them to a site. Well, you'd get good at
creating articles - that's a skill.
Say that's working good for you, and it's become second
nature because you've perfected it. So now you go on and see if you can get a
"5 a day" model going using video marketing. And you do. And that
becomes second nature.
Now all of the sudden you're a video marketing expert AND an
article marketing expert. What's that mean? If you combine the two together,
you can create better sites that rank higher in the search engine - meaning
even more traffic, more subscribers.
Or you add it with a THIRD skill, and decide to start
creating your own products, since you can do both content creation (articles)
and video creation. You'd now be confident enough to start creating your own
products.
Then if you create your own products and start promoting it
and meet with success, then you can add in another skill - getting affiliates
to promote for you... now you're getting affiliate traffic, article marketing
traffic, video marketing traffic, search engine traffic and more.
Then you can go out and tackle and master another skill -
paid advertising. And so on.
See how one skill builds on the next, and builds on the
next, and builds on the next? And how each skill makes all the other skills
even MORE valuable?
It's simple, right? Yes. So why don't more do it? Because
they don't take the time to even become good enough at one skill because they
are so focused on immediate, short term results. That's a pity. Don't be one of
them.
Okay, let's tie this into responding vs. reacting. It's easy
to react to what we've just said and say... "well that sucks, I just
wasted all my cash with all those shiny objects I just bought". You COULD
think like that, but we wouldn't recommend it.
Instead, you could respond and say - "that's great - I
can now go back through all those shiny object and extract just a few basic
things from them that I could do to build long term skills over time...".
Nice.
One final mindset thing you must master - tolerance for
uncertainty. Procrastination is a problem with internet marketing.
Procrastination is what happens when you are uncertain of something.
Uncertainty breeds fear, which is the main ingredient in
procrastination. How do you fix that?
Well, you don't get rid of uncertainty. That's very hard, if
not impossible to do. What you do is learn to tolerate uncertainty. Accept it.
It's normal. So when you're ready to do something and you feel that uneasy
feeling of uncertainty creeping it, stop for a second and acknowledge it.
"Yes I feel uncertain right now... and that's okay. And
I'm going to do it anyway so I can at least see what happens. Whatever happens
is fine, because it will make me a better person able to give more value to
others because of the experiences this will produce..."
Then go out and take action. Over time, you will learn to
function with uncertainty, and soon come to enjoy it, because nothing is more
exciting than seeing what happens when you put something out there.
The Profitable Environment
So you've learned to be
responsive, not reactive. You've learned to think long term, not short term.
You've become tolerant of uncertainty.
Does this guarantee success? No! IF you're trying to sell
guns to Gandhi you still wouldn't have a profitable business. You'd fail.
You must take the right mindset into an environment that has
a high chance of success. How do you find environments like that? By seeing
what is currently working, and finding a way to improve on what is currently
working.
You might have noticed the latest trend in internet
marketing is "online marketing to offline brick 'n mortar
businesses". It's a hot trend because people are making money off of it.
So THIS would be an environment that would have a high chance of profit.
You might have noticed that there are certain niches where
you can sell all kinds of information products to all day long (like the
internet marketing niche). THIS is an environment that would have a high chance
for profit.
Let's look at Jason's success. He wasn't the first to create
a product on article marketing. But he sells his own product on it constantly.
He wasn't the first to create a product on copy writing. Or membership sites. Or
affiliate marketing. Or list building. Yet he sells products in on these topics
constantly.
The idea is you don't go and invent a whole new environment
for profit. Instead, you go to an environment that is already profitable, and
you find ways to IMPROVE on the value being delivered to the marketplace in
that environment.
You do that by listening to what that market place is asking
for, and then using your MINDSET to come up with those solutions they are
demanding that are either being under-met or not met at all.
