Having a complete profile is the best way to increase views and connection requests, as well as showing up in searches run by potential clients and connections. LinkedIn provides a completion tool so you can keep track of what parts of your profile are complete and what still needs your attention. It also provides you with tips to help you complete your profile, and even writes a complimentary summary for you based on the information you put in when you are creating your profile. If you want to start increasing the targeted leads you receive from LinkedIn then you need make sure that you have an interesting, eye-catching, and easy to follow profile. It is important that you have a clearly stated mission statement for your company. Your company’s profile is where you can show your target audience why you are the best choice for their solutions. There are many ways that you can use your profile to your advantage. Keeping Your Profile Up to Date An important aspect of your profile is always ensuring that it is upto- date and accurate. You need to continually review and refresh your profile, profile photos, connections and skills because all of these elements will change over time. Make sure that your contact information is always up-to-date so that potential customers can reach you if they have a question or want to move forward with working with you. Along with including your email and phone number, you also want to include your web address, Facebook and Twitter handles, and any other communication avenues that you use. You want to make sure that your personal and company profiles are kept separate. Company and Showcase pages are free on LinkedIn and have more customization options for your company and has distinctive features for your business to use. Adding a Profile and Cover Photo You want to include a profile picture that clearly represents your company. It is important that you use a clear, concise photo of your logo that is approximately 1400 x 425 pixels. Your cover photo should also be representative of your company and its products or services. Recent studies have shown that an active photo helps to draw attention to your profile. Choosing an active photo that represents your company provides a level of personability to your company. Since buyers are more likely to purchase from companies with some level of humanity, you want to show that you company is approachable, warm, and friendly. Your profile photo should be your company’s logo, while the cover photo should be representative of what your mission statement is. If you are an individual marketing yourself, your profile photo is your first impression on people who are viewing your profile. You want to make sure that you keep it professional, as well as infusing your personality. Adding your profile photo will increase your visibility by seven times, while not having a photo will make your profile either seem shady or as though you aren’t serious about building your network and elevating your company. It is also crucial that you set your profile photo to public to increase searchability. Your cover photo can be used for many additional impressions of you. Again, pictures showing you in action tend to get a better reaction from your target audience. If you can show yourself doing your job, buyers can make a better connection to you in a position or the products or services that they are seeking from you. Your cover photo can show things like promotions, parts of your portfolio, or things that build your credibility or authority on your subject. Do not limit your cover photo to just generic pictures of mountains or skylines. Your company cover photo should represent your mission statement. If you can show employees of your company, you will further humanize your company. This is especially important in a world where business connections are increasingly done online, being able to connect your potential customers with a real-life image of who they will be working with can encourage relatability and build trust with your target audience. If you are a small company with only a few employees, you can use your cover photo as a mini-collage of your business in action, or even place your most effective ads in the spot.

You want to make sure your “About Us” section includes your mission statement and clearly states what your company offers. Check that your employees have linked their personal profiles to your company page as well so that their connections can see your company updates. When you are working on your “About Us” portion of your profile, you want to write it with your target customer in mind. Create an emotional response by telling a story that identifies a problem faced by a client, point out the obstacles that cause the problem, and then offer your solution, being sure to state why your solution is the best. Make sure to complete two to four related content pieces that are relevant to your purpose. You might also want to consider including how your other clients have been successful with you. Make sure that you complete all of your company details, including where you are located, what you do, when your company was founded, and your website. Include different media, photos, and videos to break up the text and increase engagement. Having a text heavy profile will make it look as though you don’t know how to use other formats and it will show your lack of creativity. Be sure to include customer testimonials on your company page, especially ones by influencers and those with large networks. The more trusted and well-known your clients are, the easier it will be to grab new leads, and you are nine times more likely to pull business from word of mouth over cold solicitations. While having customer testimonials is necessary for promoting your company, you don’t want to keep all of them on your page. Be sure to remove old and out of date testimonials and those that highlight accomplishments or skills that you have retired from your profile. Recent reviews are valuable in keeping your profile current and fresh. Additionally, if you receive a current recommendation that is either not well-written or focuses on a subject other than how you helped a client, you probably won’t want to include those on your page because even endorsements and recommendations written by others will reflect on you and your professionalism. Creating a profile with the intent to market your product or service is essential to your marketing objective. Including Keywords In Your Profile Including keywords in your profile is important. The keywords that you use in your profile are what makes your company searchable. You want to be sure to frequently use keywords that are related to your products and services. Marketers, salespeople, and recruiters all have a specific set of keywords that they are searching. The keywords that you use to describe your business are essential. If you aren’t sure about how many keywords you have in your profile, you can copy and paste your profile into a wording program like Wordle (https://wordle.net) to see which terms you’ve used and how many times they are used in your profile. If you find that you haven’t included enough of the right keywords, you can take the time to adjust your wording to increase the frequency of the preferred keywords. If you don’t know what the popular keywords are, you can analyze the profile of others in your industry the same way. Just make sure that you rewrite the text in your own words to avoid any issues with plagiarism. Publishing Content A substantial part of your profile will be the publishing section. It is important that you use this section to publish content that you care about and that relates to what your company represents. You want to keep your articles and whatever else you publish on the site free of typos and other errors. The content that you publish will show your audience that you are knowledgeable about the subject and that you can clearly communicate your ideas. Chapter 3 – How to Use Content Marketing on LinkedIn You need to clearly understand what content marketing is if you want to effectively use it on LinkedIn. Content marketing is marketing that doesn’t focus on a “pitch,” but rather focuses on informing your target audience about solutions to their problems. With content marketing, you want to focus more on making the buyer intelligent rather than just saying that they need to purchase your products and services. Content marketing allows the buyer to better understand what they are getting, why they need it, and how it will help them. To accomplish this, it requires a regular placement of necessary information, either via private email, articles, or blog posts. Publishing content on LinkedIn is becoming more and more popular for companies to market their items because it helps them to build the trust with their customers, creating brand and company loyalty. This, in turn, leads to a longer relationship between the company and customer, which leads to repeat customers and customers who are referred by others, which helps to offer a more sustained relationship. Rather than creating a demand for your product or service, content marketing anticipates the needs of your customers and delivers to them information on products and services that already exist. Since content marketing is primarily done online, it’s easier for companies to target their audience and deliver the information that their customers need to feel informed enough to make a decision on which product they should buy. The goal of content marketing is that the company that consistently delivers the most valuable information in the best way possible is rewarded with the business.

Depending upon their preferences, that preview pane may just display the “To”, “From” and “Subject” headers, or it may display all of those as well as the first few sentences of the body of the e-mail. This means that your e-mail may get scanned for about 1 second by readers before they decide whether they are going to open the message or read it. Knowing that, you’d better be sure that you’ve designed your e-mail so that the really good stuff shows up in the preview pane. - Failing to Use Enough White Space If you make your e-mail message too long, or you try to cram too many words into a paragraph, your readers’ eyes are going to instantly glaze over and they are going to hit the delete key. Keep your e-mail messages short and get right to the point. Keep your paragraphs short as well. 8 Take a lesson from the way I’ve written this book. Short sentences and short paragraphs and no “fluff.” Don’t make your text message too text heavy, either. Do you like receiving pages of text? Probably not. There aren't too many people who do. Because few enjoy reading pages of promotional copy, keep your e-mails short and to the point. If you want people to respond, be sure your message is sent at the right time and includes a compelling offer. - Failure To Test All Imbedded Links What a waste of time and effort it is to send out an e-mail campaign only to discover that the link to your web site or order page was malformed and it doesn’t work. Test, test and then test again before you mail. - Locking Prospects Into One Contact Method Giving prospects only one way to respond to you will cost you sales. Just because you think that e-mail is the best way to communicate doesn’t mean that your prospect does. Some people are willing to read e-mail and click on a link to visit a web site, but they’re not going to buy unless they can call on the phone or mail in a check. The CAN-SPAM Act requires you to include your address anyway, so why not add a telephone number as well. In fact, why not add a toll-free telephone number while you’re at it. There are plenty of places to get virtual toll-free numbers for dirt cheap. You can either program them to ring on your home or cellular phone, or you can forward all calls to voice mail and return calls at you convenience. The appearance of a toll-free number in your e-mail marketing messages is also going to raise your credibility quite a few notches in a skeptical prospect’s mind. - Ignoring Your Bounce Rate If you’re sending e-mail, you can bet some of it is bouncing. You need to be aware of not only how many messages are bouncing, but why they are bouncing. Finding out how much e-mail is bouncing and why can be as simple as checking your mail server logs. Most hosting accounts provide them as well as a tool to view them. If you have access to the actual bounced mail, the reason that mail bounced will usually be included somewhere in the message. Mail bounces for a lot of reasons, and knowing why yours is not reaching its intended audience can help you keep your mailing list clean and responsive. Although there is supposed to be a uniform list of bounced mail reason codes, far too many ISPs have created their own versions. That’s why I’m going to provide you with the reasons why mail bounces and not the codes that you might find in your mail log. Top Ten Reasons Why e-mail Bounces 1) Hard Mail Bounce This is dead mail. It can’t be delivered now or later. This kind of bounce usually means that the person no longer has that e-mail address or the mail server at that domain no longer exists These dead addresses should be removed from your list right away. If the addresses belong to customers and you have their phone numbers, there’s nothing that says you can’t call and invite them to re-subscribe. Even if that person’s number is on the National Do Not Call List, you have an existing or pre-existing business relationship. That means you can legally call the person up until the point that he or she asks you not to call anymore. 2) Soft Mail Bounce This type of bounce indicates that the mail could not be delivered at the moment but it might be possible to get the message delivered at some time in the future. This is a common bounce message that is sent when someone’s mailbox is full. You should continue to mail this address for two or three more cycles and monitor the progress. If it finally gets delivered, you’re all set. If it continues to bounce, there is either a more serious problem that isn’t being reported correctly by the ISP, or the user has abandoned that mail account. 3) Transient Mail Bounce A Transient Bounce is a message often generated by the sender's e-mail server, which indicates that a particular message could not yet be delivered, but that the server is still trying. Usually a Transient Bounce can be safely ignored. 4) General Mail Bounce A General Bounce message could be either a hard or a soft bounce. There is no way to tell. This bounce notice is usually created by older mail systems that did not report the difference between the two types of bounces. Handle this address the same way you handle a Soft Bounce. 5) Blocked Mail Bounce This message usually means that the recipient’s mail server is not accepting mail from your mail server. This might be because your address is on the mail recipient’s personal block list, or the ISP has blocked you as an undesirable sender for some reason. This isn’t good news in either event. If the user has blocked you then you might as well delete the address. However, if the ISP blocked you then you need to contact the ISP directly and find out why. You might find out that you’re on one or more of the spammer’s black lists that ISP uses to create mail filters. Or, you might find out that there is something in your e-mail messages that trigger the ISP’s SPAM filter. 6) Out of Office/Auto-Reply This type of message is generated when a user has activated the Out of Office feature of his or her e-mail client. Out of Office messages aren’t actual bounces. They usually indicate that the receiver has your message in his or her inbox, but they’re not available to read the message right now. 7) Unsubscribe Mail Message These are also not bounces. They indicate that your reader is no longer interested in hearing from you. Delete the address.

A branded YouTube channel will allow you to use your brand’s name as the name of your channel, to manage editing permissions, and to offer your viewers a more customer-centric experience. Getting Started In order to create a branded YouTube channel you will need to have a Google account, and we are going to assume that you already have one. If you don’t, you’ll simply have to go to “Google.com” in your browser, and then to click on the “sign in” button. Then you’ll have to click on “create account” and to submit the sign-up info that you’ll be asked for. If you already have an account, you will simply have to click on “sign in”, then to enter your Gmail username, then your password, and then to click on “next”. Once you are logged in to your Google account you’ll have to go to “youtube.com” on your browser. Once on YouTube’s homepage click on the profile icon located on the top-right corner, and then click on the “My Channel” option from the menu. Creating A Branded Channel Now click on the “Use a business or other name” link. Now enter the name of your brand or business in the “brand account name” field, and then click on the “create” button. Customizing Your Branded Channel Now that your branded channel has been created, it is time for you to customize and optimize it. Start by clicking on the “customize channel” button. First upload your channel icon and your channel art. To upload your channel icon you will simply have to click on the “edit” button corresponding to the channel icon. Because your icon will be linked to a brand account, you will be redirected to the channel’s “Google Plus” account. Once there you will simply have to click on “upload photo”, then to select and double click on your icon image on your computer, and then to click on “done”. Now go back to YouTube and click on the “add channel art” button. Now click on “select a photo from your computer”, then select and double-click on your channel art image from your computer. Now wait for it to fully upload and click on “select”. Make sure that your channel art is at least 2560 by 1440 pixels before uploading it. Optimizing Your Branded Channel Now click on the “about” tab to start optimizing your channel for search. Click on the “channel description” button to enter your channel description. Search engines will use the information in your description to rank your channel, so make sure to include your target terms, keywords and your website URL into your description. Click on “done” once you’ve entered your channel description. Now click on the “Email” button and enter your business email address, then click on “done”. Now select your current location from the “location” menu, and then click on the “links” button to add your custom URLs. Here we recommend you to enter your business website address as well as your social media profile URLs. Once you have added your custom URLs click on “done”. Adding A Channel Trailer Finally, let’s show you how to add a channel trailer to your channel. A channel trailer is a short video that is shown to your channel visitors. You’ll simply have to create a short video to tell your visitors what your channel is all about, and to encourage them to subscribe. Start by clicking on the camera icon button on the top-right corner, and then click on the “upload video” option. Now click on “select files to upload”, locate your channel trailer video on your computer, and double click on it. You can add the video title, the video description, and the tags while it uploads and processes. Once that is completed you will be able to select a thumbnail for your video on the “video thumbnails” section. You can click on “publish” to post your video once you are done editing it. Now go back to your channel by clicking on the left-hand menu and then by clicking on “my channel”. Now click on “customize channel”. Click on the “for new visitors” tab and then on “channel trailer”. Now select the channel trailer video that you’ve just uploaded and click on “save”. Awesome! Now you’ll be able to hook new channel visitors with your channel trailer video. Now that your branded YouTube channel is ready, you will need to enable it for monetization, and we’re going to show you how in the next chapter.

Table of Contents Introduction Why Being a Kindle Author is a Growth Industry Five Reasons Why You Should Consider Publishing on Kindle Five Ways in Which Publishing a Kindle Book Can Help Your Business What You Need to Submit Your Book How to Promote Your Kindle Book Five Reasons It's Easy to Create a Kindle Book How to Decide on Topics for Your Kindle Books Four Ways to "Write" a Book Without Having to Write it Yourself Maximizing Your Kindle Book Profits How to Grow Your Kindle Book Profits by Creating Sequels and Spin-Offs Niche Profit Maximizer - A Highly Efficient Approach to Creating Niche Versions of Your Kindle Books Conclusion Sample Content Preview Five Reasons Why You Should Consider Publishing on Kindle You might be wondering how you could publish on the Kindle if you’ve never written anything longer than a grocery list. Never fear! Read on and find out why you should make the effort and why publishing on Kindle is not as daunting as you may think. First of all, you may wonder, why you would want to get published in a format that can only be accessed with a device that you may not even own... yet. 1) A voracious market With more and more Kindle owners looking for information to add to their new reading devices, you’ve got a ready-made market. And if you have a book in the Kindle store on a topic they're interested in, they may well find it -- and buy it. With many Kindle books priced at impulse-purchase levels, people end up clicking "buy" a lot more often than they used to, especially since they can get the information immediately. 2) Find your audience Whether you’ve got valuable info you want to get into the public’s hands, or whether you are simply looking for more clients and customers, getting published on Kindle gives you an easy way to be found. Say you're a marriage counselor. Publish a book on Kindle and include information about your services, and maybe a free gift in the form of a special report or download. Then people will race to find you, buy your Kindle book, and then visit your website to collect their free gift -- and join your ever-growing mailing list. 3) Be an instant expert Let's face it: People are impressed by authors. And Kindle makes it very easy to become an author. Once you have assembled your book, you can upload it to the Kindle store in less than an hour. Even better, English language books are generally approved within 24 hours. Once you're published, just add the link to your email signature and start adding "Author of [Your book's name here]" after your name. You'll gain instant status, which will help you get more press coverage, more attention, and more customers. 4) It's easy and fast As I just demonstrated, getting published on Kindle is not the sort of ordeal most people associate with getting published in the traditional manner. You upload your book and your cover, answer a few questions, create a description, and you're done. 5) You can earn royalties Even better, getting published on Kindle is not only free, but you can earn royalties too. And a whole lot more royalties than you'd ever get from a traditional publisher. If you're publishing a print book with a traditional publisher, your share of the profits may be less than $1 a book. With Kindle, you can get up to 70% of the purchase price! Of course, you need to sell books in order to earn royalties. The good news is that Amazon is giving you a hand there, too. Amazon actually helps you market your book in the Kindle store - and beyond, by providing a sales page, and by putting your book in front of browsers looking at related books. Getting published on Kindle can be very rewarding. And considering how easy it is, there's little reason not to make the effort and add that "Author of..." tagline after your name. Five Ways in Which Publishing a Kindle Book Can Help Your Business Being a Kindle author can be a huge help with promoting your business. Check out the following ways in which it can get you more visibility and clients. 1) The Instant Expert Effect Most of us are impressed with published authors. And if you've already done article marketing, you've benefited from the expert author status you can get through having your articles published all over the web. But imagine how this effect can get magnified by actually publishing a book! You can add "Author of..." after your name, and people will be mighty impressed. They don’t need to know it took you only a few hours and was less painful than a visit to the dentist. 2) Getting leads and new clients With a book in the Kindle store, you have the opportunity to get "found" by people who would never find you otherwise. They might find you through a “related title: suggestion, or by a keyword search on your topic. If you have a compelling title and if you price your book to sell as an "impulse buy," they're likely to buy. And that's when it gets interesting, provided you did your job well to turn your book into a lead generation device. This means that in addition to your book content, you offer the reader reasons to go to your website for more information. You can offer a free assessment, an audio download, a video series, a short report – the options are only as limited as your brainstorming power. You can even offer add-on events to go with your Kindle book, i.e., a webinar, a teleseminar, or even a whole series of webinars or teleseminars. All of those make great fodder for press releases. Once they visit your site, you can capture their name and email address, follow up with them, and turn them into your customers. 3) PR/Press release fodder. If you’re trying to gain attention in the press or push yourself up in the Google search engine results, you probably already know that press releases can be very helpful. The drawback is that you can have trouble coming up with newsworthy items to write about yourself. Enter the Kindle.

As you all know, traffic generation starts with a website and ends with a website, yet not all websites are able to attract traffic if they’re not designed with traffic in mind. Because of that, we consider that it is important for you to learn what the elements are that make a traffic-generating website possible, and in this lesson we are going to teach how to create one from scratch. You don’t have to worry if you already have a business website of your own; You can easily optimize your website to grow your traffic by implementing the traffic-generating tips that we’ll teach you here! Buying Hosting And A Domain Name Your site’s stability is a big part of building traffic because, for one, search engines evaluate websites for performance, including load times and uptime. Having a stable website will also help you to provide visitors with a good user experience. That is why it is important to start by selecting a good hosting provider. For this example we are going to use “Hostgator.com”, a reliable web hosting provider and domain name vendor. So let’s start by showing you how to buy a hosting plan and domain name at “Hostgator.com”. Click on the “web hosting” tab. There are three plans available: the “hatchling plan”, the “baby plan” and the “business plan”. We recommend you to select the “business plan” because it allows you to install and host unlimited domains the easy way with “WordPress”. Now click on “buy now” to select your plan and to continue with your purchase. Now you have to choose a domain. Remember that your domain name is part of your traffic generation strategy. We recommend you to use the name of your brand or business, or to target a long tail keyword with your domain name. We also recommend you to avoid using hyphens, numbers or symbols in your domain name. Enter the name of your domain and use the top-level domain selection menu to make sure that your domain name of choice is available with the “dot com” or “dot net” top-level domains. Selecting any other top-level domain such as “dot biz” can affect your site’s ability to generate traffic. Now scroll down to register your user info, your billing info, your additional services and to complete your purchase. Setting Up Your Website Once you buy a domain name, a hosting plan, and register your “cPanel” profile, you will be able to set up your website. Start by logging into your cPanel dashboard. Now click on “Build a new WordPress site”. Now click on the “select domain for installation” menu, select the domain where you are going to set up your website, enter the name of your new website or blog in the “directory” field and then click on “next”. Now you have to register your “Install settings”. Enter your “blog title”, your admin username in the “admin user” field, your “first name”, your “last name”, and your “admin email”. Now check the “terms of service agreement” box and then click on “install”. Wait until you get an “installation complete” and save your “username” and your “password” in a safe location. Now click on “login”. Now enter your username, your password and click on “login” to go to your new site’s dashboard. Once in your dashboard you will be able to start optimizing your site to generate organic traffic, and we recommend you to apply the following optimizations right before you start adding content to your website. Please note however that we are going to show you how to apply these optimizations on a WordPress site, so if you’re using a different content management system you might need to take notes of the steps that we’ll take next so you can later browse how these configurations work on your “CMS”. Making Sure That Search Engine Visibility Is Active Go to the “settings” tab located on the left-hand menu, and then click on the “reading” option.

It is about time that we get started with our training, and we’re going to start by showing you how to create and customize an Instagram account for your brand the right way. So grab your favorite mobile device and follow the next steps! Signing Up Start by downloading, installing, and opening the Instagram app on the tablet or phone that you’ll use to manage your branded Instagram account and then tap on “sign up”. Next up you’ll have to select whether to sign up with your phone number or your email address. In our case, we are going to sign up using an email address, so we’ll simply tap on the “email” option. Then we’re going to enter our email address in the “email” field, and then we’ll tap on “next”. Next up you have to enter your full name and your new password. Here you have to enter the name of your brand or business in the “full name” field and then your password in the “password” field. You can then tap on “next” to continue signing up. Your “full name” will be taken as your username, and you can tap on the “change username” option on the following screen to change your username before you start using Instagram. In our case, we’ll simply tap on “next” to continue. Customizing and Branding Your Instagram Account Awesome! Now that your account has been registered, it is time to start customizing it with your brand’s image. Start by adding your brand’s logo by tapping on the “add a profile photo” button. You can either set a profile photo by taking or uploading a new profile photo, by importing it from Facebook, or by importing it from Twitter. In our case, we’re going to tap on the “new profile photo” option to look for our logo in our media library. We tap on our image logo and then we tap on “next” to continue. Once you select your image logo you can use filters to customize it, and you can also adjust the brightness, contrast, structure, warmth, saturation, color, and other settings. We recommend you to memorize your image filter and settings, as it is recommended to use the same ones for all your future images, for branding purposes. Once you are ready to add your logo to your account you’ll simply have to tap on “next”. Great! Now it is time to personalize the rest of your account with your brand. Tap on the profile icon located on the lower right-corner of your device’s screen to access and edit your profile. Start by tapping on the “edit profile” button. There are three brand customization options that you can edit in this section: “Username”, “Website”, and “Bio”. Let’s start by tapping on the “username” option. Here you can edit your Instagram username to more closely resemble your brand’s name in case that you used your own name when you signed up. Next up we’ll tap on “website”. Here you can include a link to your website, which everyone that visits your profile will be able to click through. Keep in mind that this is basically the only place on Instagram outside some shopping and advertising features where you’ll be able to insert a direct link to an external site, so we recommend you to use this space to insert a link to a landing page where customers can take action, as you’ll be able to include your homepage’s URL as a text-only URL in the “bio” or “description” field. Lastly, let’s edit the “bio”. The “bio” space should include information about your brand that is easy to recognize at first glance. Now, unlike “description” fields on many other platforms, the “bio” field should be used to include your target niche keywords and hashtags, as well as a text-only URL. So in our example case, we’re going to type a long tail niche keyword, which is also the name of our business, then we’re going to tap the “space” key to enter a targeted hashtag. As you can see, you’ll get hashtag recommendations based on the initial keywords that you enter for your hashtags. To increase your reach, we recommend you to add the hashtags with the highest engagement rates to your bio by tapping on them. Lastly, you’ll be able to enter your website’s URL as a text-only URL at the end of your bio. While it won’t allow profile visitors to click through it, it will help you to increase brand awareness and recall. Once you have customized your bio you can tap on the “done” icon. Awesome! As you can see, branding your account will allow you to increase your exposure and to engage visitors right from your profile!

If you do not love home, believe in the service you provide and love providing it, you are certainly doomed to fail. The same goes for the marketing products that you offer; if you do not love the products you sell and enjoy selling them to your customers, you chances for triumph are slim to none. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT Since you began your Home business, you have gone to work numerous times. On average, you probably wake up full of dread and felt like hiding under the covers rather than face boredom at least three days a week. Some days you just want to stay home. On the other hand, the rest of the time the opportunities and challenges of owning your own Home business excite you as much as they did the day you started your organization. It may seem like a bit of an exaggeration. After beginning an Home business and achieving a high rate of success, many business owners face disappointment. Many are left wondering what they should do next. These are the businessmen and women who have a "been there, done that" attitude. These individuals, ironically, tire of their goal for success once they reach it. This is mainly because they lose interest. In actuality, your Home business is probably doing the same thing you have always done since the very beginning. The key is to do things differently, changing as time passes. If you do not periodically change things up to keep it interesting, you will find yourself stuck in a rut. It is important to maintain excitement within your business to get more done. FIND YOUR NICHE AND STICK TO IT Sticking to your niche is important, however, you should periodically change the way you get things done. Some Home business owners feel like the king of the world who can do anything they please once they reach their goal of success for their organization. This is the reason businesses are able to grow in markets with which they are not completely knowledgeable. As an alternative, business owners need to work even harder at the things they know best. You will find that your customers seem to be becoming more and more intelligent; your challenge is to stay two steps ahead of them by developing new products and services that will excite you as a business owner and at the same time, add to the vitality of the customer. NEVER BE A SELLOUT Unless you start your business with the plan to sell, do not sellout until your career has run its course and it is time for you to get out. When you build a successful Home business, other business professionals are going to approach you with the option for you to sellout your company. Many business owners will find these offers hard to refuse, but refuse them you should. It is not fun to run your business for someone else. In addition, there are not many other ways to make better money than owning your own business, so money should not motivate you at all. HIRE STRONG WHEN YOU HIRE STRONG WHEN YOUHIRE STRONG WHEN YOU HIRE STRONG WHEN YOU HIRE STRONG WHEN YOU HIRE STRONG WHEN YOU HIRE STRONG WHEN YOU ARE WEAK ARE WEAKARE WEAK As business owners we are obviously a strong people. However, not one person is strong in all aspects of the business world. In such cases, it may be necessary to hire people who are strongest in the areas of your business where you are most weak. In order to hold on to the interest that motivates you, it is important not to get stuck wasting your valuable time struggling with tasks that you do not do well or that you simply hate doing. When you admit your shortcomings and hire people who can do such jobs more productively, you will free yourself to focus on the areas of your business that give you the most pleasure. OFFER INCENTIVES It is possible to use incentives as a tool to encourage your employees to become entrepreneurs with a stake in the business. This will make for a smoothly run Home business that is an enjoyable place to work, where everyone is interested in turning the business into the best it can possibly be. Once you have taken the necessary steps to hire employees with various strengths, it is important to persuade them to come up with their own ideas that will help your Home business dominate its niche. Many organizations offer incentives to associates for bringing new business in as well as performing exceptionally and developing new plans of action that greatly benefit the company. PREPARE FOR EVENTUAL Eventually, all business owners must face changes within their family, changes within their organization or environment, loss of health or lack of energy. For this reason, it is important to develop your Home business by involving individuals who are capable of effectively carrying on your vision, once you part ways with your business years down the road. Not only will you have the benefit of surrounding yourself with those who share your vision and want to see your Home business succeed as much as you do, but you are also putting plans in place that will prevent unfortunate sellout when you are no longer productive and ready to pass on the reigns. MAKE IT FUN If coming in to work means you will be walking into an environment filled with laughter and good times, you know you are headed for an enjoyable workday. This makes it easy to get out of bed and go to work to tackle head-on whatever challenges the day may bring. In fact, you will want to get up and go, no matter if you have gone to the same job thousands of times in the past. You will look forward to each day you spend at work and you will definitely see the results in your production reports. 3 FINDING BALANCE It is important to remember that you are only human and you must make your needs a top priority. You need to take the time to socialize with friends, take the family out for dinner, get some exercise or simply get away from work for a little while. When your mind and body are fresh, you are more stimulated and your work performance will improve, as will your overall happiness and well-being. It can be quite stressful for business owners, especially when an uncertain economy is a factor. It seems practical to put in more hours at the office and devote more of your energy to succeed and survive in the work at home industry; however, doing so will only worsen the situation as it begins to take its toll on you. Happiness and leisure are very important following a long day making business decisions and attending one virtual meeting right after another. The key to being successful and happy, not just in business but also in life, is balance. More work does not have to mean less play. BALANCE AND BUSINESS Finding balance means that you have a strong sense of overall well being, which is vital if you want to achieve professional as well as personal success. The nurturing of confidence and self-awareness will provide you with the inner balance in business and life that you so desire. There are four main levels of awareness, including body, emotion, spirit and mentality. When you find balance within all of these areas, you will be able to sustain the feeling of empowerment that you need to face professional and personal challenges.

Sample Content Preview Chapter 2 How Do 3-Layer Conversion Systems Work for ClickBank Marketing? Let's get one thing clear, people looking to buy the ClickBank products you are promoting don't care about you, okay? Let's get that idea out of your head. They don't care about your brand. They don't care about your intentions or motivations. All they care about are their problems. They have problems that they are trying to solve. These are problems that the products you promote must solve. Always keep this in mind. Don't think that just because you're promoting content and you are spreading awareness regarding certain niche products to certain audiences that they are somehow obligated to you. They're not. Get that idea out of your head. Instead, these people are always asking, "What's in it for me?" If you operate from this level, then you would give them solutions that solve their problems. Most importantly, you would position whatever ClickBank product you are selling in these terms. This enables you to connect with them more efficiently and sell more products. That's how the game works. You have to understand that they are not trying to do you any favors. They're definitely not looking to hand you cash. That's not their top priority. Their top priority is to solve their problems. Give them that solution. And this is exactly how the 3-layer content conversion system works. Layer #1: Produce content that discusses your target audience's problem The product that you are selling solves a problem that your target audience members have. Create content that discusses their problem. When people see such content, they not only see that you are talking about their problems, but you are also offering solutions. When they see this, you establish authority and credibility. You are talking their language. You are speaking to issues that are important to them. Just as importantly, you are offering them many different options. And by doing so, you establish your expertise. You're not just some random person telling them to buy one product and one product alone. At this level, you're communicating to your target audience members that you understand their problem and that you have a clear big picture view of what they're dealing with. So you explain many different issues regarding their problem. You lay it out. And the more information they get from your content, the more credible and authoritative you become in their eyes. Layer #2: Produce content that lays out their options Now that you have established to your prospects that you understand their problems and you've laid out the wide range of causes, possibilities and complications regarding their problems, the next step is to zero in on options. These are possible solutions they can select. But you mention this in categorical terms. For example, if somebody is trying to get a job, you can first spell out that the reason that they're struggling to get a job is because their resume does not clearly communicate their skills. You can also lay out other possibilities, such as they may be applying to the wrong jobs. There might be a mismatch between the availability of jobs in their city and their qualifications. In the second layer of content that you produce, you are going to lay out their options in categorical terms. You basically say, "If you are struggling with resume issues, these are your options. If you are struggling with a skills mismatch, here are your options. If you are looking for a job in the wrong place, here are your options." Put yourself in the shoes of the person reading this. If they are trying to get a job, they would love your content. You have demonstrated to them that you have a good understanding of their problem and you demonstrate that this problem is not unsolvable. You have shown, by laying out different options, that this problem is not impossible. At this stage, your prospect is beginning to trust you more and more. In this level, you are obviously going to start working on getting them to like the option that you are promoting. Now, please understand that at this level you're not promoting a direct link to ClickBank. If you do that, it's going to blow up in your face. This is going to look like spam. People are going to feel that you manipulated them. Instead, you are going to play up a category of options that contain the product that you will ultimately promote to your prospect. Going back to our job seeker scenario, of all the different solutions available to them, you can highlight resume services. You can spell out the advantages and disadvantages as well as show case studies why this is the easier and more realistic option compared to others. Of course, you're not going to completely drop the ball when it comes to other options, but you're not going to work as hard to make them look appealing. Do you see how this works? At this level, you are practicing your salesmanship, but you are going to have to do it in a subtle way. You cannot be obvious. While you're not blatantly promoting a specific product, you are directing the mind and the attention of your prospect to a specific set of options. Layer #3: Produce content that sells the specific product you are pushing through comparisons This is the most important part of the 3-layer content conversion system. Drop the ball here and you're not going to make a sale. Seriously. It doesn't matter how awesome Layers 1 and 2 are, if you screw this part up, you're not going to make money. Why? This is where the rubber meets the road. Seriously. This is where you drop your ClickBank product affiliate link. At this stage, you are directly selling a ClickBank product. Now, what makes this very effective is that you're not blatant about it. In Layer 2, you got the prospect to sign on to a particular type of solution. They're not going to click through to Layer 3 if they do not agree with you that a certain category of options is the best for them. They would stay on Layer 2 and move on. Do you understand me? The fact that they clicked through means you have convinced them, at some level or another, that this category of options makes the best sense in their situation. So they click through, and then what do they see?

Contrary to popular belief, your comfort zone isn’t fixed to a single location. It’s not bounded by physical walls. The truth is that our comfort zone exists in our mind. With that said, it should be easy to get out of it right? Unfortunately, the answer is “no.” It’s far more complicated than that. Comfort zones are called ‘comfort’ for a reason. It’s because everything that falls inside this zone makes us comfortable, we know everything like the back of our hands. It doesn’t give us any headaches. It doesn’t cause us any stress. It’s where we usually head to the moment life becomes too much for us to bear. It’s your ‘usual’ environment where you control everything, and you know nothing’s going to come out at you and scare you to death. Comfort zones are all good. But it becomes a negative thing when it holds you back from living life the way it’s meant to be lived. Think of a turtle hiding in its shell. You’re the turtle, and the shell is your comfort zone. You want to try out something new, but you’re too afraid. Your friends are asking you to check out something new and fun, but you refuse. You spend your entire life in your shell. That’s all you know. And because of that, you don’t get to live life at all. You’re simply living inside your shell. It’s true that you can be happy inside your comfort zone. But like most things in life, you need to work on maintaining that level of happiness. And in order to do that, you’d need to step out of your comfort zone. Let’s take, for example, a married couple. When you’re newlywed, everything seems so exciting, so perfect. But a few months or a few years down the road, you realize that both of you have become far too comfortable with the life you’ve made, and you’re no longer happy. You’re no longer growing in your relationship. You do the same things over and over, day in and day out. There’s no variety in your daily routine or your marriage. Unhappiness starts to build up. To combat this, you’d need to do something out of the ordinary. Both you and your spouse are taking each for granted, and you will need to work hard on making the marriage happy once again. Perhaps you can both take up dancing lessons, or you schedule something adventurous on your days off. Rediscover each other by leaving your comfort zones behind. Here are other ways you can break out of your comfort zone: - Remind yourself of your dreams Don’t let your comfort zone drag you down. You know what you want deep down inside, but you’re too afraid of all the risks and the unknowns along the way. A realistic method of going after your dreams, and minimizing the risks, is by planning. Have a solid plan on how you’re going to get from point A (where you are now) to point B (your big dream). If you can break it down into milestones and mini-goals, it will be even better. This way, you’re not going to feel like David going after Goliath. Every time you achieve a milestone, it brings you one step closer to your goals. Just take it easy. Have a daily, weekly or monthly goal, and you won’t even realize how far you’ve left your comfort zone behind! - Be brave and face your fears Just because you’re leaving your comfort zone behind doesn’t mean you’re going to be entering the lion’s den. The outside world may be chaotic, but if you spend enough time in it, you’ll learn it’s not so bad. There’s a semblance of order there. You just need to open your eyes and recognize the signs and the patterns. When planning your great escape, ask yourself what your greatest fears are and then figure out how you can combat these fears. If you’re afraid of public speaking, perhaps it’s because you hate the thought of people laughing at you. To face your fear, try thinking of it this way: you have a very important message to share, and the only way people are going to learn about it is if you go out there and tell them. Otherwise, they’re going to live their lives in blissful ignorance. Also, you can say to yourself that maybe half of your audience is in the same boat as you. They’re just as afraid of public speaking as you are. So, you see, your problems aren’t all that bad. Whatever your fear is, break it down until you can see just how foolish and insignificant it all is in the grand scheme of things! - Learn a new skill Learning a new skill in this day and age is a must. Employers value it, colleagues appreciate it, and best of all, you’re not limiting yourself to a single skill. New skills will open up a whole new world for you. Sure, it’s most probably going to take some time, but if you keep on doing the same things over and over, you’re eventually going to get left behind. If you want to succeed in life, you need to pick up as many relevant skills as possible. In short, you can never have too much skill. - Strike up a conversation When we were kids, our parents told us to never talk to strangers. But it doesn’t have to carry on to our adult lives. We’re better informed, and we’re savvy enough to identify who we should be avoiding and who we should be socializing with. Perhaps you’ve got a new colleague at work. He or she seems to be the shy type. Instead of hiding in your cubicle, go say “Hi!” and introduce yourself. That person will appreciate your kindness and you’ll end up feeling happy about yourself. Chapter 5: Embrace And Welcome Change “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” - Barack Obama You want to be happy, right? Then do whatever it takes so you can experience true happiness! It’s as simple as that. But, of course, nothing ever plays out that easily in life. It’s so much easier to say you’ll change than to actually do it. There are two kinds of change: positive and negative. It may not always be evident at first, that is, you’re not sure if the change you are embracing will lead to good results or bad results. Sometimes, you need to take a leap of faith and just do it. When dealing with change, you can initiate it or you can wait for it to happen. The good thing is if you initiate it, you’re in a much better position to control it rather than just reacting to it. It’s also easier for you to adapt to the change because you’re expecting it. As such, you’re not going to feel like it came from out of nowhere and blindsided you. Though change is often painted negatively by naysayers, there are actually plenty of benefits to embracing change. Here are some of them: - You can discover new opportunities It’s true that there are opportunities everywhere. When you’ve braced yourself to embrace change, it’s easier for you to uncover hidden opportunities. Some people may even say, the opportunity will reveal itself to you. This is because when you embrace change, you open your eyes as well. Where everybody else is running away from the change, you’re walking towards it with eyes wide open. This makes it easier for you to spot new opportunities. - You’ll grow as a person Failure to embrace change means you’re going to get stuck doing the same things over and over again. There’s literally no room for you to grow and improve as a person. You can change your bad habits and replace them with new ones. When you move from one place to another, you broaden your horizon. You adapt to your new surroundings, and you learn new things. Often, the only way to progress is by welcoming change with open arms. - You’ll discover your strengths (and weaknesses) Accepting and embracing change will allow you to discover your strengths and even your weaknesses. For instance, if you get assigned into a new role at your job, you may realize that you’re better suited to the new role than your old one, and your productivity is going to be at an all-time high. Likewise, if you dive head-first into a new business, you’ll discover the areas you’re good at and where you’re better off delegating to someone more qualified and more skilled than you are.

After all, why would a customer purchase a product from you if someone else is offering a free add-on, upgrade or auxiliary component that adds value to their purchase? People love getting something extra for nothing, so if you want to stand out while being able to build a successful career as a super affiliate, there’s no easier way than by offering bonuses as part of your overall marketing campaign. Here’s the thing to keep in mind: Not all bonuses are created equal. If you’ve been around the affiliate marketing arena for any length of time, chances are you’ve already encountered an affiliate offering bonuses if you purchase through their link. If you search for “bonus” in your inbox right now, you’ll likely pull up dozens of emails from affiliates who are doing all they can to convince potential customers who purchase through their links. But how many of those bonuses catch your attention? An ordinary, run-of-the-mill bonus won’t help you stand out. Everyone is offering those. If your bonus can be easily found online, it isn’t going to help you convert clicks into sales. In other words, your bonus needs to be as unique and special as you are. :) Here’s the good news: Bonuses don’t have to cost a lot of money or take a lot of time to create. Sure, if you’re a content creator you’ve got the advantage of creating your own bonuses without having to pay a dime. But if you suck at creating products, or just don’t have time to do so, you can still join the leagues of super affiliates who utilize bonuses to double, even triple their income. And no, I’m not going to send you over to Upwork.com where you can search for a qualified yet affordable freelance writer, designer or coder. You don’t have to do any of that. Instead, I’m going to point you to the PLR membership where you can find thousands of bonuses for a small fee: InDigitalWorks.com So, you now have your JVZoo and Warrior Plus accounts set up and ready to make you money. You’ve filled out your profile, added your PayPal email address and have signed up for InDigitalWorks so you have instant access to gorgeous, in-demand bonus packages. Next up: Choosing products to promote! The Path to Success I’ve already mentioned the importance of staying on top of upcoming product launches so you don’t miss out on affiliate contests and other opportunities. But what if there aren’t any product launches happening today? Or this week? Or even this month? (though very unlikely). No worries, there are thousands of products to choose from just between Warrior Plus and JV Zoo, not to mention other (non-instant commission) networks like www.ClickBank.com So, here’s how to start and what you want to pay close attention to when choosing your products: First, make sure you’ve decided on a bonus package first because you’re going to want to align the bonus with a product in the same niche market. It doesn’t make sense to offer a bonus that’s not relevant to the products you intend to promote, right? That’s important, so always keep that in mind. Bonuses must align with your promoted products otherwise customers will end up confused, frustrated and well, they just won’t buy from you again. Since InDigitalWorks.com bonuses are focused on various niches, from online business and marketing to self help and fitness, if you plan to use their packages you’ll want to search for products in similar niches. When considering products you want to promote, you’ll have to research the vendor as thoroughly as possible. This includes: Looking over past product launches. How well did their product do? How many sales did they generate? What kind of feedback did they receive? With Warrior Plus, you’ll see the average review score next to many products so pay attention to that when evaluating potential vendors. You will want to take things a step further and check out their social media presence. Follow them on twitter, friend them on Facebook and join any open groups they’re in. Do your best to evaluate their past launches and current products before you tie your name to it. Your brand is your ticket to making money online and you never want to promote products that you haven’t evaluated or vendor’s you haven’t conducted some sort of due diligence on.
