Some people attribute the saying “success leaves a mark” to Jim Rohn, others to Tony Robbins, but whoever said it, it’s very true. Success does leave a mark.
Look at anyone who has been “successful overnight” and you’ll see that they toiled in obscurity for years before becoming successful overnight.
The radio, television and all kinds of media circulate around that person’s “great success”. When that person is starving, driving a shabby car and wearing second-hand clothes, nobody cares.
The three thought-provoking questions I would like to ask you are.
a) How many paid courses have you enrolled in the last three years?
b) How many related books have you invested in?
c) How many gurus have you been in contact with?
Yes, Success leaves a trail. Success does not fall from the top into your lap. You have to be eager to seek it and strive for it. If you do, overnight you will become a sensation and the media will celebrate your success with a drum roll.
To increase your chances of success, narrow your focus and keep in mind how you can make money online because that’s where the world is headed and there’s no turning back.
The biggest and richest companies on the planet are all online companies; in no particular order, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft.
Whereas in the past it took nearly a century for companies to become ‘multinationals’ with a global presence, almost all of the above ‘digital companies have become global giants in 10-20 years.
Not only companies but also individuals are making a big splash online. Jon Morrow, Brian Clark, Darren Rowse, Brendon Burchard, Russell Brunson, Amy Porterfield and others. Neil Patel is just seven examples of bloggers and information product marketers who have built an eight-figure empire within a few years of starting an online business.
Whether you’re in e-commerce, information marketing, blogging, affiliate marketing or any combination of online businesses, the key to online success is ‘consistency’ and following a clearly defined strategy, not opportunistic profit-seeking.
Here are seven signs that you’re succeeding online. In no particular order.
1. You’ve designed your “customer picture” so you know exactly who you want to serve. Your customer avatar is a mirror of the dream customer you want to serve. As you know, not all customers are the same, so being very clear about the type of customer you want to serve often puts you ahead of the competition. Know your customer profile and you will be able to build a profitable “mailing list”. With your mailing list, you are on a fast track to online success.
2. You have created your Dream 100 online influencers list and have contacted them. Online influencers, experts and gurus have created many things on the internet. They have found what works and are building and expanding their eight-figure empires. Following, learning and emulating their success is the shortest and fastest way to build your own seven-figure empire without reinventing the wheel.
3. You’ve chosen “three social media platforms” and want to focus your efforts and post consistently. New social media platforms are created almost daily, but to be successful you only need to choose three based on your goals, not the popularity of the medium. More than three platforms will scatter you and make you ineffective. Whether you choose any of the three Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, Periscope, etc., you need to be consistent with your strategy.
4. Build your “credibility and wealth” every day. As the Bible says, “By their fruits, you will know them.” You know that people will only follow you if you have credibility and prestige. One of the greatest means of enhancing credibility is to have a New York Times bestseller to your name. As you already know, becoming famous online is no easy task, so take steps to boost your credibility and authority both day and night.
5. Work quietly, giving your full attention to your “magnet”, “landing page” and “irresistible offer”. These three: the Lead Magnet, the landing page and the irresistible offer: set the stage for you to start collecting leads, converting them into subscribers, showing them what you do and making them offers without which they can do nothing.
6. Learn to create sales letters with exciting hooks, stories and offers. No matter how beautiful your product is, how good your reputation is, and how popular you are on social media, it’s the sales letter that converts users into paying customers and sends cash into your bank account. Learn how to craft effective sales letters and sell to the right audience to get into the winner’s circle.
7. Learn how to create “unforgettable products” that will change the lives of your dream clients. Every entrepreneur knows that whether online or offline and especially online where you’re dealing with customers sometimes six-hour zones away, you’re in a life-changing business. Simply put, your job is transformation. The more you can transform people’s lives, the bigger your bank account will be. What makes transformation happen is the great products you create. Products come last in this series because you have to tailor them to the exact needs that your dream client identifies.
The seven signs above separate those who are on the path to success from those who are not.
In summary, you’ve created your customer profile, you’ve chosen your dream 100 online influencers, you’ve chosen the three social media platforms you wish to be king on, you’re honing your credibility and prestige day and night, and your lead magnets, landing pages, irresistible offers and sales letters are selling your irresistible products 24/7.
To accelerate your success, you must not only deliver irresistible offers but build offer stacks as high as Mount Kilimanjaro and strategically place order bumps in your value ladder and sales funnel. These progressive online strategies can increase your success ratio tenfold. But first, you must understand the basics by learning humbly.
Most people who are successful in business do a lot of things to stay on top of their game.
Here are a few of them…
Successful people are ‘teachable’, want ‘change’ in their lives and are willing to ‘learn’.
They are not focused on ‘how to run a business, how much money? How do I start? How much do I spend? All they know is that I want to start my own business. I want to run my own company!
Successful entrepreneurs have a clear dream and they stay focused on it. They maintain a strong desire to succeed!!! They don’t settle for less. They are the ones who make millions of dollars every year. If you are doing the above three things, you are on your way to not only success but to great success online. If you’re not, go back through your steps and refocus. Narrow your focus to the few things that will bring you success in the shortest amount of time. Just keep learning and suddenly you will reach a tipping point where everything will fall into place and send you to the stratosphere of success, just like those web gurus I mentioned in this article.
