If you are just thinking about making money you will fail!<\/strong><\/p>\n There, I said it, but what do I mean?<\/p>\n What I mean is so many people think about the money that they forget about trying to help others, and in this age where competition is becoming more fierce this is a very dangerous game to play.<\/p>\n If I’m honest with myself I think a lot of my success is down to the fact I am willing to help anyone for free. You may have noticed that when I broadcast to my entire list the email comes from my personal email account. This means if you hit reply to any email I send I will personally respond. You may also notice I am now starting to include my office telephone number in all broadcasts sent out. Something you won’t see many people do. If you want to put me to the test with this here’s my number. (44) 191 516 0993, if you ring during UK office hours and I’m not busy you’ll be able to have a chat with me about anything you wish. If I am busy we’ll schedule a time to talk, for free!<\/p>\n Now sometimes I can spend a few hours a day answering emails and spending time on the telephone and often I won’t push a single product, although I will admit if I think one of my products can help you I will mention it. However, my main intention in everything I do is to help my subscribers. Now why do you think I do that?<\/p>\n Well first of all I do genuinely get a buzz when I help someone move forward online, this can be simply offering a tiny piece of advice in an email or spending 10 minutes on the telephone with someone to help with something. Now while I may not receive any form of payment for any advice I give over the phone or via email what do you think happens when I launch a new product or promote a product as an affiliate?<\/p>\n The very same people I have helped will consider what I am offering. You see, because I am seen as someone who is willing to help others the money side of things takes care of itself. My emails get opened, my sales pages get looked at and my reputation grows and that can’t be a bad thing can it?<\/p>\n So let’s get back to what I initially said at the start of this blog post.<\/p>\n If you are just thinking about making money you will fail!<\/strong><\/p>\n So many people simply think ‘how can I make money’ when that is the complete wrong way to go about things. What you should be thinking is ‘how many people can I help’, have that mindset and I guarantee success will come easier. If you want to see people in action who operate like this have a look at how people like Jim Cockrum and Lee McIntyre operate. They are top marketers who I highly respect who’s main philosophy is helping others. If you watch them closely you will see they sell without even trying to sell.<\/p>\n This is the mindset you need to have if you are going to have any chance of success online. Don’t see your subscribers as a way of making money, look at your subscribers as people you can help, that’s probably why they got onto your list in the first place so why would you want to pitch pitch pitch to them all the time like most marketers do? Now don’t get me wrong it’s ok to pitch but not with every email, plus if you do pitch a product if possible offer a bonus, you will notice I do this a lot. You should also try to provide as much free content as you can but most of all be willing to help your subscribers<\/strong>. Get this right and you will become their hero who will devour everything you produce. However, get this wrong and your unsubscribe rates will soar while your open rates plummet.<\/p>\n I’m going to leave you with a book recommendation today, however I’m not going to provide a link, you’ll have to look for this yourself. That way I can’t be suspected of having any hidden motives by putting an affiliate link in this post. The book is called ‘The Go Giver’. Just go to Amazon or iTunes and spend $10 or so and give it a read. I promise it will make you think differently as it will teach you what giving is all about, and once you learn how to give the receiving (in the form of lots of money) will happen all on it’s own.<\/p>\n So there you have it, a quick blog post that will hopefully make you see things differently and learn to give. As always please feel free to leave a comment.<\/p>\n
