How To Make Money Online

How To Create Information Products And Make Money Online

 

 

I’ve decided to outline the exact method that is used by the gurus to quit their day job and become a full time internet marketer. This works in any niche, although I’ve had the best success in competitive, popular niches like SEO, weight loss and make money online.

 

Attention! This is not a get rich quick scheme but rather a very sustainable and long-term business idea!

Before I go any further, please note that I’m definitely NOT saying that this is the best or only way to make money online. There are hundreds of different methods and systems out there that people use with success. What I WILL say, however, is that I’ve personally tested many of those methods, and found them to be either extremely competitive, unsustainable, or simply not worth it given the amount of time and/or financial investment required.

This is the only business model I’ve had solid, consistent, sustainable success with from day one. It’s also the exact same business model most 6, 7 and even 8 figure internet marketers use. Again, it’s not the best or only way to make money online, but it works, and if you’re struggling, and you implement this strategy, I can practically guarantee that you’ll succeed.

The basic concept. I’ll get into more detail soon, but first it’s important to understand the general concept of what works, and that is:

Sell high quality information products and coaching services to people who want to buy and can afford them, that help people to improve their quality of life, relationships and/or financial situation, do it honestly and ethically, and target repeat buyers.

That simple business model, system or method, whatever you want to call it, is EXACTLY what most successful internet marketers do. As you can see, it’s not rocket science, but it definitely works.

Now here’s exactly how to do it, step by step:

First thing’s first, the product and market are everything. I’m a firm believer that if you want to be successful online, you need your own product. But you can also be an affiliate by promoting complimentary products and services on the back end, as long as they help people.

Why do you need your own product? Quite simply, if you’re serious about scaling your business, you want to build a huge list of repeat buyers, and the quickest and easiest way to do that is with paid traffic. And you’ll need a front end offer to pay for that traffic.

The good news is, if you don’t have the time or money to create one yourself, you can always license someone else’s. There are hundreds of products on ClickBank that are good, but simply aren’t making the owners any money because they don’t know how to get traffic. You could license any one of those products for pennies on the dollar, simply by asking.

Now, in my experience, your product and market will either make or break your business. If you screw this up, you’ll be fighting a permanent uphill battle that you’ll never win. If people don’t want what you have to offer, or there’s no buyers in your niche, how can you ever expect to make any money?

The good news is, getting this part right is easy. First, let’s start with picking a niche, since I know a lot of people find this hard.

Niche selection. Before I say anything else, I am a HUGE advocate of targeting a niche you’re passionate about. If you don’t care about what you’re selling, or you don’t care about your customers, it will come through in everything you do. And you’ll find it very, very difficult to remain motivated during the tough and/or boring times (which are sure to follow).

Having said that, you also need to make sure to target a profitable niche, filled with repeat buyers who want what you have and can afford to buy it. It’s no good being passionate about mowing the lawns, because NO ONE will buy your information. So the key is to find a balance: make sure you care about your niche, but also make sure there’s money to be made.

To find a profitable niche, head on over to the Clickbank marketplace. Look through all the different categories until you find one you’re passionate about. The key is to make sure that there’s lots of products in your niche (at least a few hundred) and that lots of these products have a decent gravity, preferably more than 30.

Now, I know that gravity is not a sure fire indicator that a product is selling well to the general public. But if it’s maintained a decent gravity for several years (you can always use The Wayback Machine to make sure), then it’s a very good sign.

Now, if you see that there’s lots of products in your niche that have been doing well for years, then you’re on to a winner.

Market research. Once you’ve picked your niche, you need to create a product. Or, if you don’t have the time or money, you need to license someone else’s. But before you do ANYTHING, you need to be 100% sure that your product is a guaranteed winner. How do you do that? Very simple.

First off, visit a popular forum in your niche and make sure it’s BUSY (people are posting regularly). Google “niche” + “forum” to find one. For example “make money online” forum or “weight loss” forum.

Now, go through the “introduce yourself” and/or “general discussion” type threads. In my experience, people have no problem sharing intimate details about their most frustrating and desperate problems on forums, especially when they’re brand new. And this information is GOLD.

What you’re looking for are the most popular threads, with the most views and replies. This is a good indication that the topics or problems being talked about are common and/or interesting and appeal to your target market. Now, copy and paste the titles and general questions being asked from each of these threads over to a Word document.

I suggest to go back through a years worth of threads. Yes, this is time consuming, but this information will benefit you for years to come. This is how you get inside your target prospect’s minds and figure out EXACTLY what they’re looking for (so you can sell it to them).

To make your life easier, I suggest is to separate the different threads into specific categories. So for example, if someone’s asking about how to get more traffic to their blog, put that in your “traffic” category.

Unfortunately, this process is a bit like gold prospecting, and you’ll have to sift through a lot of dirt to find the golden nuggets. But if you stick with it, what you’ll soon discover is that the exact same problems and frustrations come up over and over again. Different people, same struggles.

What you’re looking for are the most common, desperate problems that people struggle with in your niche. The more desperate people are to solve their problems, and the more common those problems are, the easier you’ll find it to sell your product.

Product creation. In terms of creating the product itself, there are two ways you can go. You can sell a “how to” ebook and/or video course for a one time fee (not recommended), or you can sell a membership subscription, where people pay a monthly fee to access regular, ongoing content.

I highly recommend the latter, because you’re building solid, consistent, passive income from day one. And if you’re in a popular niche, there’s no shortage of content that you can either create or license (interviews with experts, case studies, articles, videos, etc).

One other word of advice. If you’re just starting out, I highly recommend focusing on solving one problem per product. If you’re not sure what to write, then I recommend creating a case study on how you solved the problem(s). Or, if you’re building a membership site, then I recommend creating regular, ongoing case studies to keep your members engaged.

Creating your sales funnel. To create a winning product, you need a sales funnel in place that converts casual browsers into repeat customers. Once you’ve tested and optimized it for maximum conversions, it’s almost like having a license to print money.

In simple terms, you need:

1) A squeeze page to generate leads (email addresses)

2) A sales letter or video sales letter to convert leads into customers

3) And OTO’s (one time offers), affiliate offers, personal coaching and/or a done for you service to increase your sales and profits on the back end

Creating your squeeze page. Most people will tell you to offer something for free in exchange for your prospects email address. This is how the typical squeeze page works. In my opinion, and based on my actual experience, there’s a better way.

What I’ve found works best is to use a sneak peak of your product, or just explain what your product does, to entice people onto your list. That way, you’re not baiting and switching anyone, and you’re much less likely to attract freebie seekers.

For an example of a squeeze page that converts like crazy, even though I’m not giving ANYTHING away for free, check out my signature. As you can see, it’s just a quick video asking people to opt in to learn more. I’m not even using a headline, but it works.

Creating your sales letter. You don’t have to be John Carlton to write a sales letter that converts. I’m definitely not the world’s greatest copywriter (I wouldn’t even be so bold as to call myself a copywriter). If you get your niche and product right, the battle’s almost won … all that remains is to tip people over the edge.

This is just my opinion, but in my experience, most standard/typical sales letters don’t convert that well. What I’ve found works best is to immediately get to the point, tell people exactly what you have to offer, what it does, what problem(s) it solves and how (focusing on the key benefits and selling points). Also, it’s important to tell people that your product isn’t for everybody (no product or service is), so explain exactly who your product can and can’t help and why.

Use my video sales letter as an example. As you can see, it’s not complicated or fancy but I can tell you for a fact that it works. Just be honest and upfront with people about what you’re doing, what you’re after and how you can help them. But whatever you do, DON’T lie to people, don’t manipulate them and don’t try to be someone you’re not … because if you do, people will pick up on it, and your conversion rate will suffer as a result.

Finally, when you’ve made your pitch, offer your leads an ultimatum. Force them to make a decision on the spot. What I do is give people 24 hours to make up their mind. After that, if they’re still on the fence, I simply take them off my list. No point dealing with tyre kickers.

Crafting your back end. Unfortunately, you don’t make much money from your front end offer, especially if you’re paying for traffic. In fact, many top marketers lose money on the front end. So you need a profitable back end to make up the difference or to increase your sales and profits.

Luckily, this part is easy. What I do is upsell personal coaching and tools, products and services that people need to solve their problems. Also, since most of your customers are strapped for time, you can also upsell a done for you service (highly recommended) where you do everything for them for a fee.

Finally, get as much targeted traffic as possible. Once you have a profitable sales funnel in place that converts, the final step is to get as much targeted traffic as possible. Here’s what works best for me:

Free methods:

- Forum marketing (basically what I’m doing right now, helping people out on forums and then promoting your site in your signature)

- SEO (launch jacking works best, and it’s a great way to get the attention of product owners in your niche that you can joint venture with)

- Guest blogging (not only for lazer targeted, qualified traffic, but also for launch jacking. Just a few links from quality, relevant blogs is often enough to rank for competitive product names)

Paid methods:

- PPC

- Solo ads

- Media buys and banner advertising (highly recommended; the Google content network is still one of the best and largest sources of highly targeted, cheap, quality buyer traffic)

And that’s it. Again, it’s not rocket science. Sell information products to people who want to buy and can afford them, do it honestly and ethically, target repeat buyers, and use upsells to increase your sales and profits. It may not be a fancy schmancy method, but it works.

Copywrite your Sales to the Top!

 

 

Want to know how to sell anything online? Start improving your copywriting!

 

 

Great copy – copy that hits the primary pain points of your target audience and copy that espouses ‘Big Benefits’ that your primary market are looking for are undeniably effective in generating conversions.

 

I am about to show you a quick and deadly effective effective way to do both of the above.

 

The purpose of this exercise is going to be to increase the conversions of your

sales letters and sales videos FAR beyond the ‘industry standard’…

 

After all, why settle for ‘average’ when you don’t have to?

 

Ideal copy needs to influence the prospect toward a buying decision by positioning what you have to offer in the best light possible. In order to do this effectively, we need to utilize the features and benefits that will resonate the most with your target market.

 

Most marketers are well aware that benefits far outweigh features in the ‘copywriting heirarchy’. Benefits speak to emotions while features speak to logic.

 

Emotional arguments are far more persuasive than logical arguments. Most people buy ‘wants’ based purely on emotions.

 

As an example of a purely emotional advertisement, take a look at the ad for the new Mac Pro:

 

 

 

 

Do you think there is anything at all ‘logical’ about your sudden interest in owning the new Mac Pro the day it comes out?

 

Of course not!

 

The triggers in the ad are all emotional… sleek sexy design, countless desires that Apple has already en-grained into the public conscience through its incredible branding, and the ability to ‘instantly’ be a part of The Future Of Computing.

 

Purely emotional, and Apple is the best in the game at this type of emotionally driven advertising.

 

With copywriting, it is also true that the fear of loss is far more powerful than the hope/promise of gain. This is a basic human ‘primeval’ emotion.

 

It is far easier to get someone to be emotionally tied to something they have, love and have experienced before, and then warning them it could be gone in an instant, than it is telling someone about some benefit they may get at some point in the future.

 

To better illustrate this point, let’s take a look at two separate sets of headlines – one headline in each set based on ‘gain’ and one based on the fear of loss – YOU be the judge of which one is more powerful…

 

 

 

VS

 

 

The fear of loss is far more powerful and more ‘real’. It hits more emotional hot buttons. Very few people can relate to the feeling of windfalls of cash. A windfall of cash ‘might be’ nice, but not as ‘nice’ as being penniless definitely sucks.

 

Don’t believe me?

 

Run an experiment where you asked 100 people with equal net worth… say… $200,000 and tell them that you are willing to play a game with them for all their money.

 

Tell them you are going to flip a coin in the air and have it land on the ground. If it land ‘heads’ you will give them $1,000,000. If the penny lands tails, however, you would immediately take everything they owned in the world – their home, their cars, their savings, their retirement fund -everything and they would be left penniless and homeless on the street. How many people do you think would agree to the coin flip?

 

Even though ‘fear of loss’ is more powerful than ‘hope to gain’ copy, we want to make sure to include elements of both for for the biggest impact. ‘Fear of Loss’ elements are something that lots of marketers either aren’t aware of, or simply forget to incorporate into their copy.

 

They are missing out.

 

In order to craft extremely persuasive copy, we first need to take our niche, and derive 2 large ‘positive’ benefits and 2 large ‘negative’ benefits (loss avoidance elements).

 

Unless you know your niche extremely well, or you are your market, chances are you can’t really analyze your markets’ pain points very effectively as a rank outsider. In order to create persuasive copy – copy that actually converts – we need to really drill down the BIG BENEFITS of a particular niche or market that have the ability to turn prospects into customers with very little effort on our part.

 

Luckily, there is a very easy way to do this…

 

Visit a few niche sales letters, and grab some primary benefits that seem like they might be enticing to the niche – either in the headlines, the sub-heads or the bullet points. One of the best places to do this is at Clickbank.

 

Pick sales letters in your niche that are converting (the higher the gravity, usually the better they are converting) and pick out a few key benefits of the products that they are pitching.

 

Go through the top 5 sales letters of similar products being sold in a similar niche to yours. Start looking for common benefits amongst those sales letters/sales videos.

 

While you are doing that, remember to keep your eyes open for any interesting ‘fear of loss’ copy that you run across. You can ‘swipe’ the fear of loss stuff, switch it around, and add in a few elements that might tie into your offer, and you can use these ‘fear of loss’ pain points as powerful hooks in your copy.

 

If your niche is internet marketing, you might not need to do that much research. You probably already have a really good idea of what moves people that would be interested in biz opp and internet marketing products.

 

Two of the big desires in the internet marketing niche are:

 

 

Financial freedom

People want to Quit their jobs and work from home

 

 

 

Two other major desires of the internet marketing niche are:

 

Avoiding lots of hard, greuling and painful ‘work’

Avoiding the pain and humiliation of being forced to give up on internet marketing dream

 

 

 

So then, as you can see, ‘Big Benefits’ are really simple and straight forward to uncover for your niche. Just grab a few. That will suffice for now.

 

We are going to take these Major Niche Benefits and extract copy GOLD.

 

Once we have this list of niche benefits it’s time to DIG DOWN DEEP. What we want to do is dig down 3-4 levels to find the real motivating factors… the stuff that is the real emotional triggers behind these big niche benefits…

 

HERE’S HOW:

 

Once simple little word can uncover a lot: “Why?”

 

How exactly do we dig down and find the ‘why’s’ of our big niche benefits? We head right over to Google and ask of course!

 

Let’s start with the first big positive Benefit we talked about in the internet

marketing niche – the hope of, and desire for Financial Freedom.

 

Here is exactly how I would query Google – asking Google to bring back relevant results relating to ‘Why’ people actually desire Financial Freedom.

 

Remember – we are digging down deeper – much deeper – than just the skin deep, super-obvious benefits of our niche. We are uncovering very specific emotional triggers buried inside these larger, obvious ‘big niche benefits.’

 

Into Google I can type something similar to the following:

 

 

“What does Financial Freedom mean to you?”

 

Querying Google in this manner will lead us directly to the ‘Why’ people are looking for financial freedom. Everything we dig up with these results will be the 2nd level.

 

This stuff is great, but we will want to dig at least one level deeper still.

 

Of the answers we uncover at this level we are really looking for the stuff that is emotional – THOSE are the real gems. That is exatly the stuff that we are looking for.

 

The ‘why’s’ that are emotional reasons for wanting financial freedom. Logical reasons can be good as well, but the highly emotional stuff is the real gold…

 

Here are the answers that we end up with. Going through the results on the first page of Google as to WHY people want financial freedom, we end up with the following:

 

 

To help protect against ‘worst case’ financial scenarios

To build a secure financial base for my family

The ability to do exactly what I want with my time

Not being burdened down with the stresses of money – owing someone, late bills, disconnect notices, and having to go without.

 

 

Now, those answers are great – powerful, and a lot of emotion tied up in them – But – Let’s Keep going a bit and dig even further…

 

We want to dig down to the “Third Level” – THIS is where the really powerful emotional triggers can be found…

 

 

Let’s start with the desire to protect again the worst possible case financial disaster…

 

To dig down another level, remember, we need to ask ‘Why’?

 

To protect against the Worst Case – WHY? – You could lose ALL your money – WHY?= financial insurance. Financial insurance is a very good ‘why’ but it’s simply a bit too logical. We are looking for something more emotional…

 

The ‘worst case’ we are trying to protect against as well as ‘financial insurance’ would both be to protect against the exact same thing:

 

The possibility of being poor and not having any money!

 

 

Ahhhhh…there we go… NOW we are getting somewhere. That is a strong level 2 emotional trigger. The fear of lack. The fear of being without money. The fear of being poor…

 

Again, that is very powerful indeed, but we still want to keep digging. We are still only at level 2. We want to uncover the emotional trigger gold buried beneath level 2…

 

 

Here is what I queried Google With to get to level 3:

 

“WHY does being poor s****”

 

 

Here are the answers we are given:

 

The bank can hit you with a $35 fine for every charge that comes in while your account is in negative territory. The bank will not tell you they charged you this money. You will have no idea anything is wrong – until you check your balance that is. Now we are getting somewhere! When you are poor (as many people have been before OR are currently) you get hit with nasty over-draft fees each time you over-draw your checking account!

 

This is EXTREMELY emotional for most people. A REAL pain point…

 

Here are some more ‘Why’s’ – more reasons that being poor sucks….

 

The Constant threat of the Utility companies shutting off the — Phone — Water — Power —

 

YES. These are VERY real and extremely emotional triggers for many many people…

 

What if someone who lived in near constant fear of those horrible threats to their basic necessities could AVOID those threats forever, and NEVER have to deal with them again?

 

If we could craft a hook in our sales letter that talked directly to these people – a method, a step-by-step blueprint, a real PLAN to ensure that they would never again lack the necessary funds to take care of the basic utilities they needed in their lives and in their households – for themselves and their families, do you think you would have the attention (and interest) of that group of people if you had an offer that could back up the promise?

 

 

 

Problems paying Bills/Loans/Credit card on time = suffering from the stigma of Bad Credit. This can be a huge problem when trying to get a job -OR- trying to secure a line of credit when you really need it.

 

 

YES. Again, this is a VERY powerful reality for millions of people. You don’t even need to be ‘poor’ to experience credit problems and late payments (necessarily).

 

Most people who have had credit problems in the past, and found out in person how horrible it is, and how difficult it makes your life would do anything to avoid having more dinged credit/calls from creditors/letters from creditors in the mail EVER again…

 

Let’s play around with this extreme pain point – hitting on the ‘bad credit avoidance’ angle and see what we come up with.

 

Imagine the following letter were directed at homeowners who were a minimum of 60 days late on their mortgage payments. What if you had an offer that could help them bring their bills current and help them to get out from underneath the crushing mountain of debt they were living with each and every day…

 

 

Are you starting to see how powerful this stuff can be?

 

Obviously that was just an example I crafted around a couple of 3rd level ‘Why’s’ but it’s easy to see how copy built around a few of these very deep, emotional, 3rd level pain points or benefits can lead to some extremely compelling, emotionally driven copy.

You might not be able to provide for your family. This is extremely emotional and a HUGE motivator for many people – especially men that are the ‘head of a household’ – They view it as their responsibility to make sure that food is on the table, basic necessities are met and the lights stay on -

 

Again – this is very powerful and extremely emotional

You risk (or are forced into) homelessness – Yeah. Some poor people are Also homeless! Being homeless brings up a whole new host of problems that most people try to avoid thinking about at al costs. Lets put it this way – people would do ANYTHING to avoid being homeless-

 

- You will lose your job, and probably NOT be able to get another decent job

 

- You will lose your wife, your kids and your family

 

- You will be cold in the winter, possibly get sick and die – and you will have [b]NO medical treatment

 

- Would be very painful…

 

- Emotionally distressing

 

- People immediately Judge you if you are homeless..

 

- People who are homeless their lives often spiral out of control because they start to lose hope…

 

 

etc etc etc…

 

This are all highly emotional, deep seated reasons that people would do anything to avoid being poor and penniless and all of the problems that not having any money brings along with it.

 

If you can just touch on some of them – or let people know that there is a definitive way that they can avoid these common problems – Letting them know there is hope – and there is a way that they can avoid worrying about these issues – this will for EXTREMELY powerful copy in the right niches and with the right audience.

 

All of this is just from going 3 levels deep on ONE of the ‘Why’s’ we came up with on ONE of the major ‘niche benefits’ — Imagine how much more GOLD you could extract by going 3 levels deep with more big benefits and more ‘why’s'?

 

Even digging 3 levels deep with just a few of these major niche benefits/pain-points, do you think we could now craft some copy slightly more compelling than:

 

“Get Financial Freedom”….

 

Of course we can! All it takes is a little bit of digging.

 

I think you will agree, by adding some ’3rd level’ benefits, our headline automatically become far more captivating and interesting.

 

In addition with all of these 3rd level benefits that we have taken the time to

uncover, we now use as KILLER ammunition for the body of the sales letter and/or bullet points!

 

We can use these 3rd level benefits as powerful questions/imagery with two of my favorite modifiers -

 

 

“Imagine” and “What if”…

 

 

like this:

 

 

- Image what it would be like to easily and effortlessly be able to tackle the next financial ‘emergency’ that came your way? Instead of being forced to over-draf your checking account to pay for that blown out tire, you could simply dip into your 5 figure emergency cash fund and take care of the fix -without thinking twice!

 

 

- What if, instead of the constant worry and angst of losing your job due to ‘downsizing’ you were so confident, and so secure in the multiple auto-pilot streams of income constantly stuffing your bank account with cold hard cash that you could simply kiss your lousy boss ‘good riddance’ forever?

 

 

These questions/statements paint powerful pictures in your prospects minds and allow them to visualize something that they themselves may have never even thought was possible before.

 

I sincerely hope some of these tips help you to create some incredibly compelling copy in your niche!

XMLRPC URL Error

 

 

XMLRPC URL WordPress

 

 

What is an XMLRPC URL anyway?

And why do I get the “Oops!Unable to post to blog service: Didn’t receive 200 OK from remote server.” error?

 

I have no clue. I don’t know it exactly and I don’t need to know it. The only thing I know is, that you need the XML-RPC URL to be able to post various entries to your WordPress .com blog. For example AudioBlogs or with the neat Social Poster plugin.

 

It took me a while to find out what this is and how I can get WordPress XML-RPC URL but finally I managed to figure it out. The solution is as easy as humanly possible.

 

 

How to enable WordPress XMLRPC URL?

 

Are you running WordPress 3.5 or higher? (you should). If the answer is YES, then XMLRPC URL is enabled by default. Just follow my next steps.

 

 

How to get XMLRPC URL for WordPress?

 

Whenever your programs or plugins ask you for your WordPress XMLRPC URL, in order to post various stuff on your behalf automatically, you simply enter you WordPress.com Blog address and add /xmlrpc.php at the end.

 

Example:

I have a plugin that needs the WordPress XMLRPC URL, so it can automatically post excerpts from my real blog on the free WP blog. My WordPress Blog Address is http://nickcnobles.wordpress.com

 

Now I need to add /xmlrpc.php at the end of my URL and it should work. In my case I enter:

 

http://nickcnobles.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php

 

 

Working!

This is the fix for: “Oops! Unable to post to blog service: Didn’t receive 200 OK from remote server.”

 

 

How to enable XML-RPC URL for HootSuite?

 

Same game. XML-RPC URL for HootSuite is enabled by default. Simply insert http://nickcnobles.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php

when asked for your XMLRPC URL. Just enter this exact address if your blog is called http://nickcnobles.wordpress.com which is highly unlikely though. Insert your own blog name and get started connecting your HootSuite account to WordPress

 

 

What to do when I still get an XMLRPC URL error?

 

Here is something I found online that might help you:

So after a long email conversation back and forth it seems for us the issue is network related. Some where down the line before you get to WP's servers provided by provider Peer 1 the connection gets refused.
If you do a tracert from the server in question or from the client (depending on who can't reach WP), you'll notice that the ip address changes about 3 times (do the tracert more than once), this is what I believe is WP's load balancing cluster (nginx).
I found two of the three IP addresses reject my incoming request, but the third will let me in and post via xmlrpc, making it like Russian roulette. And of course if you get the two addresses that reject, you have to wait until the DNS lookup expires to try again (from your browser).
What I did to patch it so to speak was use our host lookup file in Ubuntu (server edition) and route our blog to the one address that works. Although this kinda duct tapes the service together, it will work.

7 Habits Of Highly Effective Authors

TEST POST! I AM SITTING IN MY HOTEL AND FELT LIKE WRITING A LITTLE! UPLOADED FOR REVIEW PURPOSES ONLY! IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR REVIEW ON WHAT YOU HAVE READ; PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DO SO VIA EMAIL; SOCIAL MEDIA ETC; THIS POST WILL BE DELETED SOON!

 

7 Habits of Highly Effective Authors

 

Many of you know the book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Here is my take on how I and all my fellow author colleagues can profit from Stephen R. Covey´s knowledge.

 

7 Habits of Highly Effective Authors, Habit #1:          Be Proactive

Our life doesn´t just randomly happen. We make our life happen! The only person responsible for crafting your luck and success in any area of life is YOU!

This habit is about accepting 100% responsibility. For your life. For your decisions. For your actions.

Your last book didn´t sell? Take a look at your critics and improve your book. Change your rubbish cover. Do what you should have done months ago, start promoting your book. Be proactive, not reactive. Take action now and change the outcome and therefore your life!

“My book didn´t sell because of the bad economy” “People just don´t like the genre” “The work I outsourced was done poorly”… Your excuses have no place in the writer´s mindset. There are 7 habits of highly effective authors and guess what. Blaming anyone else than yourself is not one of them!

It is a natural and physical law that every action must always lead to a reaction. Do you even realize the most powerful and liberating thing in life? YOU CHOOSE YOUR REACTION! Nobody else can do this for you. Either you react by blame circumstances, locking yourself in the cellar and crying. Or you choose to accept full responsibility for your mistakes and proactively look for ways to fix your mistakes.

Always think positive and act proactive.

Example: My book is not selling well. People complain about formatting mistakes and bad flow.

Option 1 is to say: These fools don´t know anything about the fine and ancient art of the written word. To hell with them! Option 1,5 would be to let these critics devastate you so hard that you lose and abandon all hope. Because you think you have no way of influencing and changing your critics to the better.

Yes, 10% of the people in the world are psychopaths. They will hate you even if you are at no fault. Reactive people will worry too much about these people. Listen up. You can´t and won´t change them. So please ignore them.

Option 2 is to pull the pen out of your pants and start making necessary changes to your book. Think to yourself, well, I have done a mistake but I am man/woman enough to admit it, take responsibility for it and change it. I learn and improve by facing my mistakes. Remember the old Marine saying: Adapt, improvise, overcome. Make use of it.

Non-reactive or proactive people will focus on changing things they have control over.

 

Which one do you think is going to take you closer to the path of success? I´ll let you be the judge of that.

 

 

 

 

 

Habit #1 of the 7 habits of highly effective authors conclusion: Be proactive not reactive. Accept full responsibility for your actions and mistakes. Seek to change the things within your circle of influence. Don´t worry about the circumstances you have no influence at all.

 

 

7 Habits of Highly Effective Authors, Habit #2:    Begin with the End in Mind

 

Why do you write? To spend your time on higher tasks than watching brainless television soaps? Do you want to create a nice second flow of income for yourself and your family? Do you want to prove to someone that you have the mindset, willpower required to be an author? As you can see the reasons behind it are unlimited (I went berserk and had to delete around 12 other reasons… oh boy…). You have to decide for yourself where you are going with your writing enterprise.

I´m pretty sure you already have a good idea on the meaning of the second of the 7 habits of highly effective authors. But let me clarify this point. You need to start your tasks with goals in mind.

“Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.” – Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Does the lack of wind lead you towards your goal? You can argue but in this case, wind blowing in the wrong direction is better than no wind and therefore no progress at all. Don´t take this as an excuse though. You need to have clear written goals. You need to write down your goals. Goals that are not written down are merely wishes.

You have heared this phrase I assume but also there is an exception. When you have such a huge and burning desire in your head, you don´t have just goals. You have a vision. And vision always beats goals by a large margin! XXX Belfort

My structure tip to get the most out of #2 of 7 habits of highly effective authors is following this scheme:

Every success starts with a vision. You need a book idea and a clear and powerful vision. Now you will want to formulate goals about what you want to achieve. Time for a business plan. Yes, that´s right. You are writing a book and now you start by writing a business plan.

Congratulations. You are done dreaming, goal setting and visioning. Now go out there and do what needs to be done. No excuses! Write your book with the burning desire to achieve your goal, every second you spend writing, researching or promoting your book. Never lose your goal out of sight. Always begin working with the end in mind.

 

 

 

Habit #2 of the 7 habits of highly effective authors conclusion: Be like water. Think of your goals as the Gefäß and writing as the water. If you… h2o becomes… What is the water going to become, if you have no Gefäß? XXX Lee

 

 

7 Habits of Highly Effective Authors, Habit #3:   Put First Things First

Are you aware of the fastest growing disease in our modern time? No, not bird flu, like that huge media and pharmacy con made us believe. It´s the burnout syndrome. Many people suffer from it and many more are endangered.

Last year I attended a very informative 2-day seminar on burnout causes and prevention, by Dr. Marco Freiherr von Münchhausen. I won´t go into much detail but what I want to pass the centrepieces on to you. Eat healthy, take time for yourself, perform one relaxing ritual each day, pay attention to your work – life – balance, physical exercise and the most important part… delegate, outsource or abandon tasks of minor importance.

In order to not run the risk of suffering a massive burnout blow you seriously need to put some thought into the tasks you do. I have a very interesting fact for you. The group where burnout rages the most is not amongst managers.

They possess a skill that is invaluable for this habit. I don´t think that many of you have ever been to a higher level management assessment center or job interview but I´m going to tell you one skill that is required. The mastery of priority setting. In this situation they might give you a premade eMail account with various tasks and issues that need to be addressed. Your job is to sort them by relevance. Do it yourself, now. Do it yourself, later. Outsource. Abandon.

There is an awesome model called the 4 D´s. The corner stones are: Do (Do it yourself, now), Delay (Do it yourself, later), Delegate (Outsource), Drop (Abandon)

Example: Your informative non-fiction eBook is not selling well. People are giving it bad reviews because of poor grammar. Others give your book good reviews but claim that they feel, that you have missed some points. One guy is mad because you link back to your blog a couple of times.

DO! Someone critizes your bad grammar? Improve your work immediately. Start working on this now. This is critical and needs to be addressed as soon as humanly possible.

DELEGATE! Your book is not selling that well. Consider lowering prices and promoting your book. This is not that urgent at the moment (read: at the moment). Since you are an inexperienced author in this example, you will want to outsource this to fiverr for maximum effect. The sellers there have more experience and you need to focus your time on improving your book anyway. Comparative economic advantage comes to mind.

DELAY! A handful of people have claimed that you failed to discuss a specific point in your book. Is it important? Of course, you need to fix this. Customer service is a very important aspect. Since this might take a while for research, formatting, editing and so on it won´t be possible to fix this on the spot. Therefore delay it and focus on the most important task at hand. In this case fixing the grammatical disaster.

DROP! Someone complained that the only reason you wrote your non-fiction information eBook was to promote the paid membership on your blog. Now there are 2 options. 1) Yes, he is right. 2) No, he is wrong. Drop this matter and don´t waste a single thought on it. (If promoting your other products is not your main goal with the book. BUT that guy is right, ergo it really feels like you are just promoting your brand…. well… get your stuff together. That´s not a drop matter in this case)

 

XXX IMporant, urgent, not urgent, not important, feels urgent, not urgent

 

Habit #3 of the 7 habits of highly effective authors conclusion: Take a look at the steps you need to take to reach your goal. Seperate them into the 4 D categories. Start with the Do, then the Delegate, then the Delay. And Drop it like it´s hot.

 

7 Habits of Highly Effective Authors, Habit #4: Think Win-Win

Our society has led us to believe an interesting but plain wrong thing. It´s my way or the highway. Unfortunately we are made to believe that one can only win, when someone else loses.

From the biological and evolutional viewpoint this makes sense. When an animal sees a specimen XXX it has the choice to either fight or cooperate. If a lion runs into another lion in his territory it usually ends in a fight. Why? Because most animals are not smart and don´t possess the complex brain we humans call our own. All they see is an intruder who competes with them for their tastey gazelles XXX. It doesn´t even cross their mind, that they would be way better off hunting game together.

Another unfortunate fact is, that we humans evolved too fast for our brain and body to catch up. This is the reason why we have wisdom teeth (you can´t chew raw meat as easy as cooked 3 week dry-aged ribeye steak). The reason why many people are lactose intolerant (animal milk wasn´t found on many stoneage meal plans). The reason why it still is hard for us to grasp that cooperation beats competition.

For this reason we need to seek mutually benificial relationships and agreements with our fellow earth inhabitants. Please don´t get me wrong here. You need to focus on your gain and benefit first. A win – win situation is not all about you being nice and putting your needs in queue.

No, win – win is a cooperative game. A mindset if you will. The mindset of trying to constantly improve your position but also trying to provide your partner with the benefits he is XXXsehnen for.

An important part is staying true to yourself and your core values. Don´t get tempted to do anything that contradicts with your moral believes. Take into account other persons feelings. Don´t think too much about the negatives. There is enough air for everyone to breathe and you won´t be left out in the rain. On the other hand always make sure to take precautions. Especially when outsourcing and going to publishers. Unfortunately there are many scammers around so take care.

 

Sometimes a win – win situation is not possible. In this case it usually is the best to drop the whole deal and to not waste precious time, energy and nerves.

A win-win situation in the 7 habits of highly effective authors could mean an exchange of blog links. A mutual promotion with a fellow writer. You advertise his book and he does the same with yours.

Finding a great professional who you can delegate your tasks to and get quality work back. A publisher who promotes and sells your book and pays you a nice percentage of the profits.

Habit #4 of the 7 habits of highly effective authors conclusion:

 

7 Habits of Highly Effective Authors, Habit #5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood

Did your parents ever tell you, that it´s important to be a good listener? This is true but also a huge understatement. Being a good listener is one of the most important skills any person in any field can call their own. Listening is the single most powerful tool when it comes to understanding your fellow people. Utilizing the 7 habits of highly effective authors gains so much monumentum by being a good listener, it would be foolish to not improve yourself in this area.

Communication is the key to everything in life. Friends, marriages, business, networking, selling and of course writing. And what is the most important part of communication? Listening!

First you must seek to truly understand another person. Before this point no honest, and most importantly, effective communication can happen.

Ever heard of the doctor who prescribes medicine before having done a full in-depth check up and diagnosis? Don´t be this guy. This is a short, simple but also really spot on.

 

 

Any idea how ethical selling works? First you qualify your customer. Does he have a need for this product. Can he affort it. Is it even suitable for him?

How can you find out whether this applies and your potential buyer would benefitr for your product? Either you can pick up clues and make assumptions. Or you start listening to him. This would be the preferred method.

So how does this apply to us? The writer faction?

We need to listen to our customers needs. That´s more easily said than done though. How can we achieve this? I am going to give you a practical example.

You have a great idea and want to write a book about sleeping disorders. Insomnia. How would you start writing it? I recommend you check some forums and conduct a google search for people with said disorder. You read through a couple of pages and find out what bothers them the most about insomnia. What questions do they have? Did you notice questions that have been asked mutliple times? If so write these questions down and answer them in your book.

This is a great way to make your reader feel like he is being listened to. If he reads your book and his conclusion is: “wow, this was really insightful. All my questions have been answered. Even areas have been covered I didn´t think about.” Then you have done a great job.

Telling your reader that he is brave for reading your book and taking action is a great asset to utilize too. If you do this your reader will not only feel like that you heed his problems. He will also feel appreciated. Just pick up any psychology book and read through it what human beings strife for. The most likely answer you will find is that people want to be appreciated and listened to. Utilize this knowledge for your books.

Don´t just write a book for the sake of writing a book or making money. This is not the most ethical approach you can have. Focus on satisfying customer needs and not your money needs. If you managed to win over customers and establish a loyal readership, the money will flow automatically. Word of mouth can be your most valuabe marketing asset.

If you write for your own profit and for your profit only, it will show. Every single sentence you write will ooze from your profit intentions. Readers will feel tricked into buying your product and you can forget good reviews and abandon all hope for word of mouth recommendations.

Why would they buy the book if they don´t feel understood and appreciated by the author? I can tell you the reason. Impulse buys. If you have a neat little cover, some bought reviews and a tricky descriptions you will still sell your book. But ask yourself. Is this a business model that is sustainable or ethical?

Many gurus and blackhatters recommend you to make use of techniques like these. Write a book in 48h. Write a book in 10 days etc. Don´t listen to them. Don´t give them your hard earned money. It seems to be a modern trend to dish out as much trash as humanly possible. A get rich over night scheme.

Publishing eBooks is not a get rich quick scheme! It is a substainable business that needs time to florish. Don´t rush it or you will pay the consequences!

People who want everthing don´t get far in this business. Listening and trying to satisfy every customers need and wish is the foundation of success. Just like the low ground who forms the foundation of a high elevation.

Habit #5 of the 7 habits of highly effective authors conclusion: Learn from your readers and involve them! If you merely tell them, they will forget. Teach them, they might remember. But involve them and they will learn and profit. If they feel understood and recognized they will become your most loyal customers.

 

7 Habits of Highly Effective Authors, Habit #6:   Synergize

 

 

 

    “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”

- Aristotele

 

 

The term self-made millionaire gets thrown around a lot. Though it can be decieving. Almost nobody is a real self-made millionaire in the sense of having achieved everything alone. Like it or not but you are highly dependet on other people.

Almost everyone can only achieve his goals and function on his highest level if he has some kind of support. It doesn´t matter where you get your support from, but it is vital. Fanbase support, a wife that pushes you, friends, family or a “group of thinkers”.

If you have friends who own businesses or want to start their own enterprises it is a great idea to meet once a fortnight or more often. Form your own group of thinkers. Many brains are better than one. Push each other. Critique each other. Motivate each other. Achieve success together!

It doesn´t matter wether you interact with your group of thinkers or with a stranger or business partner. You will disagree on many topics. This might seem like an annoyance in some cases but in others it can be a godsend. Sometimes people need to face the harsh reality, if they are about to sink like the titanic and haven´t even seen the iceberg.

Take the person who disagrees with you and try to step into their shoes. Why do they have a different view? Try to figure it out and use it as a stepping stone to find a third alternative solution.

So next time you disagree with somebody, try to view things how the view it. Think of their concerns and address them in a mutually benificial manner. This way you can even profit from people who annoy you or always disagree with you. Learn to value the differences.

Take a look at some of your bad reviews. As stupid as they may sound, there just might be a grain of truth behind them. Try to contact them, ask for further details and then express your intention of fixing the misunderstandings.

 

Habit #6 of the 7 habits of highly effective authors conclusion: Value different opinions. This is the true essence of synergy. If two people have the excact same views on something…. one person of them is unnecessary. Work together with your friends and “enemies” (critics) to improve your work and life.

 

7 Habits of Highly Effective Authors, Habit #7:   Sharpen your Saw

Imagine your mind as a saw. An awesome, expensive saw that can cut down the mightiest tree. You constantly use this saw to achieve greatness.

You make your living by cutting down trees. The saw is vital in this process. Therefore you need to make sure to keep your saw as sharp and intact as possible.

When you buy your saw it is still in a raw state and you have to make adjustments to it. You need to sharpen it. The only way to use that saw to its full potential is by keeping it sharp. If you don´t take care of it, you will waste countless of hours trying to chop down a tree. Taking time off to sharpen it, even though you need to spend some time on it, is going to improve your productivity and success by a huge margin.

 

How does this apply to our minds? Let´s put aside our metaphor for now.

Number 1) Educate yourself! You need to constantly keep moving. Standing still means stepping back (this phrase sounds so much better in German). Look to expand your knowledge on a daily basis. Set aside at least 30 minutes for learning each and every day, no matter what. Do this for a month and it will become a habit.

Educate yourself. Learn new things and techniques. Read an informative book, listen to audio recordings and watch videos of motivational speakers etc. Don´t come up with excuses. If you are tired, sick or not motivated force yourself to at least listen to an audio recording.

It doesn´t even have to be in your field of work. Go buy/download a couple of sales audio files. Selling is required in every area of life. Including writing. Just make sure to learn something new every day.

Number 2) Renew yourself!

Spend some time on rituals to refuel your body and soul. I recommend you participate in each of the 4 categories every day.

 

Physical:	Healthy Food and Exercise
Social	Networking, Chatting with Friends and Family
Mental:	Writing, Reading, Brain Storming
Spiritual:	A walk in nature, Meditation, Music, Praying, Helping Others

 

Sharpening the saw helps you recharging your batteries. It will be so much easier for you to master your life if you can function your best. Failing at doing so will result in a destructive exploitation of your bodys resources.

Let´s dig deeper into the 4 categories.

Physical sharpening: Endurance, Flexibility, Strength, Health, Energy

Endurance comes from aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Running, swimming, cycling and so on. You don´t need to be able to run the marathon in under 3 hours, but exercising has a great effect on your whole body. Not only will your heart thank you, but you will always be less sick and mentally stronger.

Flexibility is achieved by stretching. Before, after and sometimes during your workout. While it´s not that important it reduces the risk of injury. Why the hell is Nick writing about doing sports and preventing injury anyway, you might ask yourself? Well, my site is called the writer’s LIFESTYLE. I don´t want to exclusively teach you how to make a living with writing. I also assume that at some point of your life you are going to go for a walk, travel, participate in social sporting events and so on.

Strenght comes from resistance training. Having muscles doesn´t just serve the purpose of making your stronger. It also prevents you from injuries, they burn fat and on a sidenote, looking like a young Greek god also has its advantages.

Health is determined by your genetics. Unless you are a mad scientist you will have a hard time influencing and modifying your genetics. That only leaves one option open. You need to work on improving your overall health. Eat healthy, avoid soft drinks, exercise from time to time, cut back on the drugs you toxicate your body with. Drink enough water.

Energy is the inevitable result of the 4 factors mentioned above.

I recommend a full-body workout with all the major compound movements. My training plan consists of bench pressing, squats, deadlifts, pull ups and dips. Short streching before and after warm-up sets. Afterwards either running or boxing. 1-2x a week is enough to see results and feel much better overall.

A last warning. Never do compound movements without first consulting your doctor and learning the right technique from your gym trainer.

Your body is the temple that houses your mind. Keep that in mind the next time you are too tired to exercise.

 

Our social dimension is determined by our social circle. By our friends and family. A study determined that you need at 6 close friends to reach the optimum social happiness.

Go watch football, visit a concert, go out to a restaurant etc. Spend time with the people you love and your batteries recharge. You will never hear of a person who lives isolated in his cellar, never goes out and claim to be happy. We humans are very social beings and having contact to other people is a must.

 

The spiritual aspect is your soul, your core, your dedication to your values. I can´t guide you on what YOU have to personally do to recharge your spiritual batteries. Everyone knows what´s best for himself. It might be praying, meditation, yoga, visiting relatives who passed away, etc, etc… Find out what works best for you and how important spirituality is for your life.

Make it a habit to end your day and if possible start your day with 15 minutes of meditation. Either guided meditation or without guidance. Find out what works best for you. I prefer to not listen to music or guidance but simply go into myself. If you catch yourself thinking “this mediatiton is useless” tell yourself “ah, what an interesting thought, maybe I will go into detail later” and brush it aside and find your core and peace again.

 

The mental dimension might involve keeping a journal.

How To Speed Up Your Wordpress

Create Automatic Backlinks 10,000 in 1 Min!

Create 10,000 Free Automatic Backlinks

 

2 minutes work for 10,000 free high quality backlinks

 

Check out my big free Black Hat Backlinks list. It is the best you will come across. Thank me later

 

We all know or at least should know what backlinks are by now and why they are so important. If you don´t know what a backlink is read it here (coming soon)

 

I present you the best list with links and tools that automatically give you backlinks to your site for free. Very easy free auto backlinks. There is not much to say about how to get free automated backlinks than open the page, enter you URL, submit it, lean back and profit.

 

WARNING

 

This is considered a Black Hat technique and I won´t be responsible for any damage done to your google rank. Though it is very unlikely to get penalized for creating a couple of thousands links where only a couple of dozens really get indexed by google.

 

Some just create a mention of your website. Doesn´t hurt either.

 

There are tools out there to create 1 million Backlinks and the targeted pages still rank in google. These links here won´t do more harm and you have the advantage to get your homepage pinged by search engines, even if the created backlinks are not so valuable. Some just create a mention of your website. Doesn´t hurt either.

 

Think about one little fact. How hard is it to click on every link and create these backlinks? It takes you 2 minutes. If google would penalize you for doing so it would open the doors for hardcore abuse.

Don´t like someone? Someone ranks higher than you? Create free automatic backlinks and get them deindexed. It simply doesn´t work this way.

 

I recommend not using them all at once though. Use one or two daily and you will be fine. Bookmark my blog and come back to create more backlinks.

 

All of these automatic backlink creators are free. You don´t have to pay a cent nor will you need to sign up or enter your email address to use these free automatic backlink creators. 1 or 2 require you to solve a captcha but nothing serious.

 

After everything is said and done let´s take a look at the links.

Create 10,000 Free Automatic Backlinks

 

2 minutes work for 10,000 free high quality backlinks

 

Check out my big free Black Hat Backlinks list. It is the best you will come across. Thank me later

 

We all know or at least should know what backlinks are by now and why they are so important. If you don´t know what a backlink is read it here (coming soon)

 

I present you the best list with links and tools that automatically give you backlinks to your site for free. Very easy free auto backlinks. There is not much to say about how to get free automated backlinks than open the page, enter you URL, submit it, lean back and profit.

 

WARNING

 

This is considered a Black Hat technique and I won´t be responsible for any damage done to your google rank. Though it is very unlikely to get penalized for creating a couple of thousands links where only a couple of dozens really get indexed by google.

 

Some just create a mention of your website. Doesn´t hurt either.

 

There are tools out there to create 1 million Backlinks and the targeted pages still rank in google. These links here won´t do more harm and you have the advantage to get your homepage pinged by search engines, even if the created backlinks are not so valuable. Some just create a mention of your website. Doesn´t hurt either.

 

Think about one little fact. How hard is it to click on every link and create these backlinks? It takes you 2 minutes. If google would penalize you for doing so it would open the doors for hardcore abuse.

Don´t like someone? Someone ranks higher than you? Create free automatic backlinks and get them deindexed. It simply doesn´t work this way.

 

I recommend not using them all at once though. Use one or two daily and you will be fine. Bookmark my blog and come back to create more backlinks.

 

All of these automatic backlink creators are free. You don´t have to pay a cent nor will you need to sign up or enter your email address to use these free automatic backlink creators. 1 or 2 require you to solve a captcha but nothing serious.

 

After everything is said and done let´s take a look at the links.

EnhanceViews Bot

 

What is Enhance Views?

It is a Social Like Exchange platform that automatically does the work for you. You don´t need an enhanceviews bot, all the work is done for you.

The huge advantage here is that it is extremely easy to use. Simply click this link and sign up under my affiliate link. Enter the usual… email, account name, password. Link: Enhance Views

When you are done and verified your e-mail address you can start earning points on auto pilot.

Click the tab “Earn free credits” and you will see this dropdown box. You can choose the platform you want to earn points for.

 

Twitter & Reddit Likes

 

 

 

Click Twitter and authorize an application. Just click accept, you will be redirected back and can start the process. The bot will automatically follow twitter accounts.

Same with Reddit. It will ask you to enter your account details and then it goes into autopilot to earn you Reddit points.

Open Twitter in one tab and Reddit in another tab. That way you can earn points for both.

Unfortunately you will need to check on the progress every let´s say 20 minutes because the bot tends to time out frequently.

 

 

Facebook & YouTube Likes

 

For Facebook and YouTube you will need to download an application called enhanceviews autowatcher. I virus checked it and everything is clean.

Install and start. Then press options and enter your details.

 

 

 

Enter your YouTube and Facebook details and click “Save Options”. Now you are ready to earn Facebook and Youtube Autolikes. Click start and watch the magic happen.

 

I have no idea how the Instagram Free Auto Likes work. I am not a fan of this hipster platform, never used it and never will so I have no chance of testing it.

 

 

Redeem your Points

 

After you have let the bot run a couple of hours you can start using your earned points. To do so go here:

 

Now you can easily enter you URLs that link to the chosen social media profiles. A nice feature is that you can choose to add a delay, so the platforms don´t get suspicious. Very easy to use.

 

 

Things to keep in mind

 

You should really consider creating new fake accounts for the platforms you want to use this tool for. You don´t need the spam or even possible ban to affect your main account.

This homepage is 100% free and 100% safe to use. 100% legit autolikes.

You need to keep in mind that you can only use your earned points on the specific platforms. You can´t use YouTube credits for Facebook likes. Only Facebook credits for Facebook likes.

Use Forums to Promote your Blog

Use Forums to Promote Your Blog

 

Having a blog is almost essential. It let’s you promote your products and services and channels a lot of attention to your business. You can promote your products and work, whether as a painter, artist, photographer, salesman or writer.

Maybe the attention generated from your blog even gets you a job related to the things that you love.

Other uses for blogs are that you can freely express yourself and keep your relatives and friends updated on the goings on in your life. Just like social media it can be great if you live far away from them and can´t communicate with your relatives and friends that often.

 

However like I said, a blog can be a great and easy way for you  to earn money, over and above mere expression, self-promotion and affiliate programs.

 

Moreover the more visitors you have, the greater the chance that your ads get clicked and that you earn comissions.

 

Hence you will need to drive more and more people to your blog. Not just to earn money but also to get attention. After all, if your blog is interesting enough, you may get a lot of people backlinking to you and sharing your content. A great way to promote your blog is through posting on forums.

 

If you are interested in posting on forums – you should – and spreading your word, and if you want to get your blog noticed, then you will be interested in my following tips.

A word of advice is that these are only a few tips to help you on your way to massive blog attention, and you need to learn on your own along the way and experience your own lessons.

 

 

 

Tips for Promoting your Blog

 

Tip #1: Mainly post in forums that you actually are interested in!

 

Believe it or not, your level of expertise and interest in a topic shine through your posts. If people take notice that you are interested in the forum topic, you may get more attention than people just reading your forum post. They will follow the link in your signature to find out more about you

 

Tip #2: Post in forums whose topics are related to your blogging topic!

 

This can be critical when dealing with die-hard fans of a certain field because posting off-topic posts will be distracting. Not only that but you will soon find yourself banned from those forums.

 

 

Tip #3: Be “dignified” enough to spell right!

 

Don´t rush your posts. Shortcuts have the power to make any texts almost unreadable and very annoying. If you make the effort to write your blog, make an effort to write well on forums as well. Otherwise you will find it harder to invite people to read and participate in your blog. Why in 3 devils name would they read your blog when they can’t even understand what you are posting on the forum? Don´t write to impress the readers with your intelligence. Too many books and articles are written this way. Don´t be a show off.

 

Tip #4: Offer help and advice to forum members!

 

When they ask for it and need it be there to answer them. Remember that people don´t care about what you have to say and sell until they realize that you care about them first.

 

Tip #5: Optimize your blog first!

 

Before you focus on writing forum posts, focus on your own blog. It makes no sense to spend hours on forums, posting random things and promoting your blog, if your blog is empty.

 

First make sure that you offer quality advice in your blog that people are interested in reading and then you can focus on promoting it

 

Tip #6: Aim for the biggest forums!

 

This is an obvious but overlooked tip. Don´t spend countless hours building authorship in forums with less than at least 5,000 members.

 

Tip #7: Include your blog link in your signature!

 

Avoid inserting your link into your posts. You will come across as a spammer who is only trying to promote his site.

 

Though there is an exception. If you already are well-known in forums and have the reputation of offering good advice, you can also embed your blog link in your replies.

 

Tip #8 Make friends with senior forum members!

 

If they have a lot of authority go ahead and PM them (write them a private message). Tell them your views, ask them to participate in your discussions etc. Befriending them opens a lot of doors. You can even ask them to write a review of your blog on the forum.

 

Tip #9: Start controversial topics!

If you get a lot of people to respond and participate in your own started threads, guess what, you will get much more eyes that see and ultimately click your link.

 

Tip #10: Don´t be afraid to spam,

if you don´t care about a forum too much. I really recommend this only if you are looking for some fast clicks. This is no long time solution and I focus on why spamming is bad in this article (coming soon).

 

Tip #11: Start necroing!

Dig out old threads with a lot of responses and reply to them. Everyone who is subscribed to these threads will be notified of your reply and is likely to view your post.

 

Tip #12: Write brief but informative answers!

 

Many people, me included, simply are too lazy to read a monster paragraph. Keep it short and simple.

 

Tip #13: Stay tuned!

 

If you open a thread or post a good reply, subscribe to the threads and do a follow-up. Answer any new questions or suggestions. This is a great way to constantly use forums to promote your blog!

 

Tip #14: Create a fancy profile!

 

Add a picture if possible. Fill out information like hometown, interests etc. This will make you look more humane.

 

Tip #15: Fit in!

 

Adapt to the forum style line. Look at senior members. How does their profile look? How did they design their signature? How long are their answers? Copy them as good as you can to fit in.
