Because the truth is, you could enthusiastically take loads and loads of pictures but there’s no guarantee that any of them will sell. To fail at something you love to do can hurt deep down in your core. But you must remember that just because your photo doesn’t sell, doesn’t mean you’re no good. It could be for a number of reasons. The point is to have patience, and make sure you learn how it’s done before you start selling your photos for money. Once you’re done reading this, you’ll have all the tools you need to get started. Only then will you truly see the potential for making money that’s eluded you all this time because you never took the time to wonder where all the photos you’re surrounded with daily actually come from. Do You Have What it Takes? If you think it’s easy to sell digital photos online, you’re mistaken. Show me one person who’s made it big selling photos, and I’ll show you ten more just like him/her that don’t make squat. They could even be taking pictures of the same things. The difference between them is that the person who made it put time and effort into his/her photo business. So ask yourself, do you have what it takes to sell your digital photos online? If you said yes, then you must commit yourself if you hope to make it. Go back and read that sentence again. That’s the most important aspect of making money through digital photography. You must put in the required time and you must remain passionate about what you’re doing because that passion, or lack of it, will come out in your photos. And finally, you must be able to have patience until you’ve learned enough to actually know which photos will sell, and which ones won’t. Time The amount of money you make with your photos depends on how much time you invest in your business. On average, you should expect to work at least four hours per week, and more if you’re really ambitious. Four hours is nothing and it’s worth it when you consider you’re doing what you love. Are You Creative? This is a huge one. You can take a thousand pictures of your cat and it’s likely not one of them will sell for even a penny. That’s because cats have been done. You need to step out of your immediate surroundings, get out of your comfort zone, and you need to think outside the box. Carry your camera with you wherever you go and be on the lookout for an image that just screams, “Take my picture!”. This could be a shard of ice hanging from a lighthouse bridge. It could be a neighborhood dog catching a Frisbee, or it could be the way the sunset splashes vivid colors across the darkened sky. Equipment Obviously, if you’re going to sell digital photos, you’re going to need a digital camera. But to increase your chances of making a sale, you might want to invest in a few other things, as well. The camera is number one. You must have a digital camera. There are many on the market these days and most of them produce excellent quality photographs. The prices are dropping on them all the time, so you should be able to get a decent one for cheap. But what about editing software? Have you considered that you may want to doctor your photos so that they come out absolutely perfect? Do you know how to use that editing software to its fullest potential? Finally, do you even know how to take good photos? These are all questions you really need to consider before you try your hand at this lucrative but competitive business. There is a lot of money to be made, but there’s also beautiful photography to be made, as well. It really is a great way to earn a living. It’s fun, and there’s just something fulfilling knowing that others are willing to pay for the photos you’ve taken. However, you must also be ready to deal with rejection - because that can be the most difficult part of this whole business. Rejection You may find that you’re in love with your photos, but that you’re the only one who feels that way. It’s kind of like when someone brings along their dog and they go on and on about how cute and loveable their dog is, but everyone else doesn’t feel that way. Some people may be allergic to dogs. The dog may be lovable but that doesn’t mean they want to risk touching it so they’ll blow up like a balloon. The point is, you can’t please everybody. If you take a beautiful photograph and nobody likes it, don’t let it get you down. Those people just don’t have good taste, that’s all. Or they don’t need that photograph for any particular reason. See, most people buy photos because they’re looking for a particular one. They may need a butterfly photo for a website, or a doctor photo for a brochure. Part of this business is making sure your photos get seen by the right people, but we’ll get into that later. You must be able to deal with rejection or else you’ll never make it in the photography business. If you don’t make any sales, just keep doing what you’re doing and give it time. You must have patience until your efforts begin to pay off. Work day by day, little by little, and before you know it you’ll know what it takes to sell photos online and you’ll have done it from pure knowledge and hard work. So if by now you’ve decided that you have what it takes to sell your digital photos online, let’s get started. Choosing a Camera If you don’t already have a camera, you know you need one. But you’re likely going to find a lot of choices out there. There are so many different types of cameras, brands and accessories that it can seem almost overwhelming. However, picking out a good camera isn’t that difficult at all. Simply get online and start researching the cameras you come across based on a few criteria. You’ll want to be focused on the amount of megapixels the camera has, as well as the quality of the sensor. But of course price is going to be an issue, as well. So your job is to find a camera that offers the most for the least amount of money. That sounds obvious, but it’s not easy when you’re bombarded by so many different types of digital cameras. However, there are a couple ways you can go about getting a camera that’s of good enough quality to take excellent photographs. Experts If you want to know something about a subject, you turn to an expert, right? In keeping with that same thinking, camera experts are who you should turn to when you’re trying to find the perfect camera for you. You can find experts online on consumer report websites, or you can read reviews by experts that are posted online. You can also ask clerks that work in the camera sections of your favorite stores. These employees spend all day looking at, talking about, and learning about digital cameras. Ask them plenty of questions and tell them what you’re trying to do. You will want to make sure that the camera you choose is at least a 5 megapixel camera. Remember that just because the megapixel count is high, doesn’t mean the photos are going to be better. Make sure the sensor is of high quality, as well. Most people find that cameras where you are able to change the lenses produce better quality images, but you should be fine with your everyday run-of-the-mill digital camera. Digital Photo Editing If you don’t know how to properly edit a photograph, you’re starting out with a huge disadvantage. You may think that digital editing is cheating. After all, the photo should be sold based on the natural beauty of the image captured. There should be no editing going on. If it’s not in the photo, then you shouldn’t be paid for it. There are a lot of old timers stuck in their ways that still hold onto that idea. But the fact is, every industry uses digital editing to enhance photography.

Time Management – In and Out Productivity and Time Management Sample Content Preview Sure… you seem to get more done this way. However, you are probably more likely to make mistakes - which will result in you doing over things. Stick to focusing on one task at a time, and taking sufficient breaks whenever possible - you’ll stand to accomplish more this way. Now, we’ve mentioned that juggling multiple tasks at one time is counterproductive. However, striving to complete each task no matter how long it takes is also not a wise idea when it comes to time management - another common misconception regarding time management. Restrict your time spent on a task, and schedule accordingly. As you can see, a lot of what we know regarding time management are in fact, myths. Many of us have skewed perceptions or are misinformed when it comes to time management. These myths, over time, through the people around us or the media we consume, become deeply ingrained within our mindsets; we eventually regard them as facts and hold on to them. As a result, we are prevented from becoming truly and fully productive in any aspect of our lives. Chapter 01: Effectiveness Vs. Efficiency Effectiveness versus efficiency. Both terms are adjectives that begin with the letter ‘e’, and are used to describe how work is done. Not only that, they sound quite similar. It is relatively easy to mistake one for the other, or use them interchangeably (a lot of people do!). However, these terms are anything but similar - in fact, they each carry completely different meanings. Effectiveness is all about doing the right things; it is result oriented. It is when one’s objectives are in line with their main goals, and indirectly your purpose. It is finding ways to improve outcomes. For example, if your goal is to increase awareness and sales of a particular product to reach a particular target, you should engage in tasks or activities that will help move you closer to your goals (eg. marketing and ads, in this scenario) , and not waste time on irrelevant tasks that do not serve your goals. This makes you effective. Efficiency, however, is more about doing things right; this aspect is task oriented. It is using better ways to get something done well in the shortest amount of time possible, while utilizing the least amount of resources and/or costs. An example of efficiency would be using a computerized system to get things done accurately in a shorter span of time; as opposed to relying on manual methods to do the same thing, which is susceptible to human error and is more time consuming. Either one can exist without the other; one can be effective but not efficient, and vice versa. It is entirely possible for one to be effective in achieving their goals, while being inefficient in the way they do it. It is also entirely possible to be none of both at all. In fact, there are four possibilities: 1. Effective and Efficient 2. Effective and Inefficient 3. Ineffective and Efficient 4. Ineffective and Inefficient It should be noted however that true, optimal productivity is a combination of both efficiency and effectiveness (Number 1) - the Holy Grail for every individual or organization. It is not possible for an organization or person to reach peak productivity levels, if they are lacking in either efficiency or effectiveness (Number 2, 3 and 4). If anything, they’re setting themselves up for either mediocrity or inevitable failure. Effectiveness > Efficiency In terms of order of importance, effectiveness should be prioritized over efficiency in all your considerations about productivity. This however does not mean that you should disregard the importance of efficiency altogether - again, as mentioned earlier, productivity is a balanced combination of both. Effectiveness involves the big picture. Putting effectiveness first just means that you should first and foremost focus on doing the right things in order to improve your chances of getting a good outcome. Once you get yourself on track and laid out the basics, you can then look into how you can improve the way you do things. The logic here is to concentrate on being efficient at the tasks which are significant and are effective in contributing to your goals. There’s no point in particularly efficient when the tasks you carry out do not contribute to your purpose and goals. To sum things up : efficiency is a modifier for effectiveness, not a substitute. Efficiency is meaningless on its own. The problem with most people is that they tend to gravitate towards efficiency, rather than effectiveness. It is perfectly understandable - being efficient is a whole lot easier than being effective. Being efficient involves improvements on a smaller, more manageable scale; effectiveness however requires a whole lot of brainstorming about one’s goals, values and different approaches, on a larger scale. And that is intimidating. Not only that, people who put efficiency before effectiveness have this tendency of looking for better and perfect ways of doing things, and head nowhere instead - which ironically, leads to ineffectiveness.

Any trade is a very difficult topic to understand. But that could be something someone wants to do. So, how do you do that effectively? Here are some great tips on how you can become that attracting magnet as well. Chapter 1: Creating the Mindset for Your Internet Business Summary Building your mind to understand that this is what you want to do. Creating the Mindset for Your Internet Business We all have heard how many people have become successful in their internet business. Perhaps, you have also tried getting into the online market yourself but unfortunately, you were not able to succeed unlike the others. Starting a business online is just like starting a physical business, except that you will have to do all your transactions online and you are able to reach a global market. The same difficulties may also be experienced when starting an online business although you do not have to worry about putting up establishments or renting stalls. However, one thing is the same for all different types of businesses so that they can become successful – the right mindset. When you do your startup with the right approach then you will be able to get ahead in the race. What are the qualities that you should possess in order to succeed in an online business? Before you go about things, it is also important that you have the right knowledge when it comes to doing an online business. You cannot just take on the offensive side without making the right plans. The lack of planning when it comes to taking actions into your business, without that you are likely to fail in the industry. Starting up any business, whether online or in the physical world, would also need a lot of determination. Although people may say that fate determines how your business would go, you can actually alter the destiny of your company, especially if you are determined in making it successful. It is very important that you take away all the negative vibes that you have and feel confident about what you are about to undergo. Discipline is also needed to become successful in your online business. In a physical business, you will have to get up every morning to visit your establishment and see how things are going around. When you have it online, you can check out any transactions anytime of the day giving you more freedom when it comes to managing your time. However, this would sometimes make one lazy and complacent on the comings and goings of the business. Since you can have the luxury of time, you are likely to put off the things you would have to do for the day and instead get them done tomorrow. Transactions are also made online and various tools can be used to make managing of the business a little easier. This enables you to manage the entire business on your own and without the need of help from any other person. Unfortunately, you could not have anybody else with which to entrust the transactions of your business and you cannot get help in case you are not able to fulfill your role. While the right mindset in having an online business would make you more likely to succeed in the undertaking, you must still remember that it is not a walk in the park. You would still need to exert some more effort as you would in a physical business to ensure that you succeed in your online business. Chapter 2: Your Internet Business – How Far Can It Take You? Summary Open your eyes to how far Internet marketing can take you. Your Internet Business – How Far Can It Take You? Now that you have already decided on setting up an internet business, you may be asking where it can take you. It is normal to feel a little hesitant during this phase, especially if it is your first time to try out on this venture. You may feel a little stressed out about the whole thing but do not worry, you will be able to manage everything. Where the Business Can Take You Any type of business can bring you success, whether it is an online set-up or a physical store, if it is managed the right way. Remember that it does not only take time to reap good benefits, it would also need some effort from you. Toiling around does not increase your chances in having a successful internet business (although you may take lots of breaks if you want to). When you have become triumphant in your online business venture, where does it lead you? Most people would agree that it will give one the most freedom when it comes to managing your time. If you are the type of person who would love to stay at home and be with the kids and family, this is definitely the best job for you. In addition to that, you will already have the luxury of time to do all the things you want to do but neither had the time nor the money to do so. Not only is it beneficial for you in terms of your time, you will also start to experience financial freedom. Of course, it is what we all want. Reaping lots of cash without having to work too much for it is definitely a tempting offer and the closest way to achieving this goal is through a successful online business. People Who Have Succeeded Although most of us are hesitant about having a business online, many people have bravely took the risk and reaped many great benefits because of it. All their efforts have paid off as they already start to experience having financial freedom and the luxury of time to do the things they want. What is Their Secret Formula? These people did not have lots of experience in marketing or handling a business. However, the courageously took the risk and the uncompromising determination that they possessed proved the decision right as they became successful in their business venture and continue to enjoy the advantages of it. For this reason, there is no place for you to have apprehensions because it is possible that you also achieve the same thing as they did. If you are equipped with courage and determination to undergo this seemingly daunting (but not really) task of taking on an online business. If you read on, you will be able to get some more pointers that you can add to your determination and mindset to help you become triumphant in having a business online. Now that everything is within your reach, you must grab the opportunity that may come only once in your life. Chapter 3: Unleashing the Power of the Law of Attraction on Your Internet Business Summary We cannot understand the Law of Attraction must there is much talk about it nonetheless. Unleashing the Power of the Law of Attraction on Your Internet Business As you start to go about your online business, you may start to realize that there seems to be too much to do. It can be a big problem to figure out what to do and how to get them right. With all the many business sprouting like mushrooms all over the Internet, competition can be tough and it is very critical that the right things be done in starting up your business. If it fails from the start, you might never have the chance to get back on your feet again. However, did you know that Quantum Physics has had to do with your online business? Now, do not be scared about this question. You do not have to go back to school just to be able to learn this and make your online business successful. The theory that will be introduced here is quite simple and can easily be implemented by you even if you did not have too much knowledge about Quantum Physics. Quantum Physics’ Big Secret There is a law that claims to have its roots from Quantum Physics. According to the Law of Attraction, every single thought of a person has an energy accompanying it and this energy can be used by that person in order to attract other people into what he or she is thinking. Because of this, it is very important that one knows how to make use of this possibility so that it can be used to one’s prime advantage. For one, it is very important that one knows what one wants to get. When you have realized this, you can ask the whole world for it and feel as if that goal you want to achieve or the object you want to have is already with you. Now, you will have to open yourself to receiving that goal or that object but let go of any attachment that comes with it. Thinking about negative thoughts would result to a negative outcome but if you follow these principles and think about what you want to have, your desires will come to you. How This Law Can Bring You Success In the same manner that the Law of Attraction works, your thoughts can also create success in your online business. Now, being apprehensive about starting the business may only cause you to not perform well or even fail in your business. However, if you have the clear goals that you want to achieve, it is likely to you can reach them. However, you should be careful in setting goals and avoid moving targets. It is hard to set your eyes on something that is not fixed as it could ruin the game plan that you have already planned to reach the goal. Once you have set a goal, reach it, and when you do, you can set a higher goal so that you can achieve much more. This way, you know what you want and start believing that you already have it. When you do, you will naturally do things that can make you reach it and your success follows! Chapter 4: Looking for the Right Internet Business Opportunity Summary Find the right opportunity and you will be hooked on for life. Looking for the Right Internet Business Opportunity Now that you are already equipped with the right mindset in starting an online business, the next thing for you to decide is what type of industry you should be entering. While it is important that you have some background knowledge on the type of trade you will be undergoing, there is not much need for it as there are already many tools and online help you can get. Besides aptitude, inclination into the work is also needed. Surely, it is boring to do something you do not really like to do, is it not? It would help a lot that fun is mixed with your job so that it will not feel like such a burden. When you do not like the nature of your business, you are likely to tire and soon enough, you will have to stop pursuing this endeavor. Unfortunately, even if you have found the right online business for you in terms of aptitude and inclination, it is still not a guarantee that you will succeed one hundred percent in it. Many people have abused the popularity of online business that they too have made a moneymaking scheme out of it. What hurts is that you, the person who is looking for a good business opportunity to start with, are the one who gets affected. This is the reason why everyone is advised to be careful in picking the right online business. We can easily be swayed by the number of advertisements promising a quick return on investment and even gets it doubled, without much effort. You have to remember that not all of these offers are genuine; some of them are just frauds and scammers. When you look for the right online business for you, make sure that you get one from a reliable source, which will be discussed later on in this eBook.

Before the autoresponder, people who wished to maintain a list were faced with the daunting task of adding contact information, crafting messages, sending messages, etc. Companies would spend so much time maintaining communications with their customers that would take away from other aspects of their business. Thankfully, this is no longer the case. The autoresponder has streamlined this aspect of businesses. When you set out to begin building a list, one of the most important things to have in place is an autoresponder. An autoresponder allows you to acquire, store, and communicate with your leads. Once you capture a lead, your autoresponder will allow you to get the most out of your lists. Why You Should Use a Professional Service Before we get into what you should do with an autoresponder, here are some reasons why you should choose a professional autoresponder service: 1. Professional autoresponders offer many benefits. They ensure that your message is deliverable by offering spam filter checks that will alert you if your email is likely to be sent to your customer’s spam folder. Overall, it is the goal of the autoresponder service to ensure that your messages have maximized delivery. Without a professional autoresponder, you run the risk of failing to recognize potential errors. 2. Aside from automatically capturing leads for you, autoresponders will take care of any opt-out/unsubscribe requests, which will free up the time you may have spent trying to do this manually. 3. Professional autoresponders frequently backup your lists, which significantly decreases the chance that you will lose your list. After investing time in building your massive list, the last thing that you want is to lose your list to something unexpected. 4. As stated before, there are a number of advantages to using a professional autoresponder. If you plan on keeping track of your open rate, opt-out rate, response rate, and things of that sort (which you definitely should be doing to increase the effectiveness of your campaigns), a professional service will provide analytics for those areas. Some of the most popular autoresponder services that are available are: Constant Contact, AWeber, MailChimp, OfficeAutoPilot, Infusionsoft and iContact. If You Want To Host Your Own Autoresponder The advantage of hosting your own autoresponder is that once you purchase the software, you own the program and you do not have to worry about additional fees. You do not have to pay a company to run this software and you will not incur monthly charges. If you are interested in taking this route, check out these autoresponders: 1. Interspire 2. arpReach Ultimately, keep in mind that this option will require more work on your part to ensure that you are maintaining your list. However, this may turn out to be an option for you. Factors to Consider When choosing an autoresponder, you should compare services and decide what is best for your situation. Some factors that you should compare are: 1. Usability: the interface should be simple enough for you to manage quickly and effectively. 2. Cost of service: make sure that the cost of the service is one that fits within your budget. Some services may even be free up to a certain amount of emails or may include trial periods. 3. Features: not all services provide identical features. For example, some give you the option to create your own email templates, others may be beneficial for split testing, some may have larger image storage, etc. Whichever route you decide to go with your autoresponder, keep in mind that it is best to research different software and services thoroughly before making a decision. You do not want to lose time trying to transfer a large list to another system later on down the line. Choose the best option for your situation early on to avoid this pitfall. Chapter #3 - Setting up an Opt-in Form Now that we have discussed how to select an autoresponder, we can move on to setting up an opt-in form. An opt-in form is what you will use to capture your leads. You may have visited a site recently and noticed a pop-up form or even a form that has been strategically placed on the website encouraging visitors to join their mailing list. That form you encountered is the opt-in form. When a user fills out your form and decides to opt-in, they are giving you permission to send emails to them. Some autoresponders will provide what is known as a double opt-in, in which a user will receive a confirmation email to make sure that you have the correct information. If the service you provided gives you the option to use double opt-in, it is good to use this as it will help you filter out unresponsive customers. Complying With The CAN-SPAM Act By using the opt-in form, you are also complying with the CAN-SPAM Act. There is some confusion about what the CAN-SPAM Act means, but all that is does it set guidelines for marketers to send emails in a legitimate manner. The CAN-SPAM Act requires marketers to obtain permission for sending emails from users. It also requires that you provide a way for users to optout in each email that you send. The process for opting out should be easy for the user; one click should allow the user to be removed from your list. Furthermore, you cannot charge a fee for removal from the list, and you cannot require them to sign in to remove themselves. That being said, REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST RESPOND TO OPT-OUT REQUESTS IMMEDIATELY! There is a time limit imposed upon marketers for the response to removal requests. Differences Between Autoresponders Remember the discussion about the difference between autoresponder services and owning your own autoresponder? If you are utilizing a service provider, the CAN-SPAM Act requirements are automatically implemented into your email. You will not have to remember to place certain information in your emails (such as your email identifier and optout link), and you will not have to remember to remove a user if they optout, because this will be done automatically by the service provider. The Power of a Squeeze Page A squeeze page is a page that is dedicated to the sole purpose of capturing leads. A squeeze page is the wisest option for capturing leads, because it eliminates the possibility of a user wandering aimlessly on your site. While designing a squeeze page, remember to provide a layout that is similar to any ads that you may be running. If a person has arrived on your squeeze page from another link, they want to be certain that they are definitely signing up for exactly what they clicked on. If your layout is inconsistent with their expectation, you will certainly drive them away. Designing Squeeze Pages The squeeze page should have a bulleted list of things that they are going to receive by opting in. This is your time to convince the visitor why they should give you their contact information, so you want to make it good! Here are some tips: 1. Make the headline powerful and personal. If you make the user feel like this is something that will be exclusive to them, they will be more inclined to opt-in. 2. Offer something in return for their contact information. Many companies offer some sort of free, relevant content/item that entices the user to join the list. 3. The shorter the form, the more likely a user is to opt-in. If possible, obtaining a first name and an email is all you need to be effective. DO NOT MAKE YOUR FORM LONGER THAN NECESSARY! 4. Tell them exactly what to do by providing a strong call–to-action button. 5. Ensure that the opt-in box is above the fold, so that users do not have to scroll or search in order to join your list. KEEP IT SIMPLE AT ALL TIMES! Remember To Split Test Squeeze Pages The value of a split test is also present in squeeze pages. It is vital that you create multiple squeeze pages and track their conversion rates in order to see which design works best with customers. You would be surprised to learn how small tweaks in design can impact the overall effectiveness of a squeeze page. If you are not that familiar with coding, there are resources to help you overcome that obstacle. Autoresponders offer the ability to design squeeze pages, and in some cases they also give you the ability to split test. Here are a couple of autoresponders that provide this service: 1. GetResponse 2. AWeber If you are more advanced, you may elect to build a squeeze page yourself without the assistance of an autoresponder. This is perfectly fine, but remember that the same guidelines for design apply.

Sample Content Preview Images for Selling a Lifestyle So how can an image provide value all on its own? There are actually a number of ways. One way this can happen, is if your image is entertaining. That means it might be cute, funny or cool. Cute imagery works well for pictures of dogs, babies and cats. Funny imagery can work well for memes and the like – which works very well for the likes of Buzzfeed. Short videos can also work well in this way for short cat videos, fails and the like. But in terms of being ‘cool’ often the objective is to provide some kind of inspiration – to offer value proposition. So, every brand should offer value in some way. Whether that is through products that help the audience, or whether it is through their content. Either way, a brand should offer value and normally this means building toward some kind of goal or offering some incentive. For example, if you have a blog about making money online, then perhaps the goal is to be highly successful, to run a business, to wear a smart suit and to stand at the top of skyscrapers feeling powerful. Maybe the aim is to be like Eddie Mora at the end of Limitless. Or maybe the aim is to being able to work from home, to enjoy coffee and cafes while you work undisturbed on your laptop and to travel the world to be free. Same niche, different value proposition. Different target audience. Different brand and different dream. But that ‘dream’ is the thing that you’re really selling and this is the thing that motivates and inspires your audience. If you can create an image that tells a story – a story of someone who is enjoying the life that the viewer wishes was theirs, then you can inspire that audience and simultaneously get them to be more interested in what you have to say. This is a form of value but it is also a fantastic tool for persuasion and for getting people more excited for your brand and more interested in what you have to say in future. You are selling a dream and a goal and this is something that people will be highly motivated by because it is emotional and it is something that they will find motivating. Being able to do this is somewhat tricky of course because a lot of companies don’t have that emotional ‘hook’. It’s hard to sell a dream if you sell car insurance or if you offer consulting for B2B organizations. One way around this is to offer something that people will find interesting that is tangentially related to the larger brand. This might mean, for example, that if you sell car insurance, you include lots of images of beautiful cars – or of families that look safe and happy inside of vehicles that are clearly designed to be family friendly. Another option is to create a ‘personal brand’. That means putting yourself front and center as an ambassador for your brand and it means as well that you attempt to live the lifestyle that you are promoting and encouraging. You become the embodiment of the dream and the message and that means you can then share images from your lifestyle. It’s easy to find photo content for your fitness blog when you really do spend your days doing gruelling workouts or running along the beach in your yoga pants with your faithful pup. Acquiring Images Now that brings us to the tricky part: acquiring said images! Now there are a number of ways you can do this. The first and most obvious is to make those images yourself. That’s going to require a good camera and a good eye but with the right filters and the right effects, you’d be surprised how you can dress up an image to look better. The real key is to understand composition and framing and this is something that is best learned from a book or a short course. This will be a highly worthwhile investment for your overall social campaign. But quickly: try to think about the lighting in your shots. Try to think likewise about the background, the foreground and the mid ground. Think about how you can lead the eye where you want it to go. Think how lighting and angle can convey senses of motion, of scale or of dynamism. And more importantly, think about what all this says about your subject. Try to tell a story. Photos that show a subject matter center in the frame are boring but if you include a few other elements or create a scene around that subject matter then you can tell the story – and stories are SEO for the human brain! The other option is that you purchase the images. Here you have a few options, you can buy or download free from stock image sites. Alternatively, you can hire people to make the images for you, or you can repost. Another tip is to try asking other creators if you can borrow their work in exchange for a credit. Most will be more than happy to let you do this. The only real key tip that is really important is not to just buy a bunch of stock images cheaply and keep relying on them. Avoid those generic and tired images that you’ve seen in countless posts before and more importantly still, avoid the images that don’t precisely match the subject and tone of your article.

It may be helpful to do the things that you like the least first, as they might be more time consuming and you're more likely to finish more interesting activities. Compose agendas for meetings and remain inside the allotted time. Inefficient meetings that go late are a huge cause of productivity loss.

Sample Content Preview This might not sound like a hack. After all, you probably already know about Facebook Ads. The surprising part is just how effective this tool can be when used creatively. So, Facebook ads are PPC or ‘Pay Per Click’. That means that you only pay when someone actually clicks on them. No clicks? No expense. You also get to set what your maximum expenditure per click will be. This is your ‘maximum bid’. By choosing this number and by knowing your ‘CLV’ (customer lifetime value), you can calculate your campaign to make sure that it is only ever profitable. You never pay more for a visitor than you know each visitor is worth to you! 7 CPA CPA is Facebook’s ace in the hole. This is ‘Cost Per Action’, meaning that you pay only when someone takes a certain action. For example, this might mean that you only pay when someone likes your Facebook page. Now you are paying only for people who you’ll be able to communicate with for years to come – making this a highly worthwhile way to spend your money. CPA can also mean paying only when someone installs your app, when they watch your video or when they redeem a special offer. There is endless potential here! 8 Ask Nicely Here’s a way to get more traffic that you might not have considered… ask nicely! What am I talking about? Simply be real with your visitors. If you write a blog post, ask the people who are reading to consider signing up for your mailing list, to make sure they check back next time or to share the post with their friends. The same goes double for videos – tell them to follow you on social media or to visit your site. Doing this is a fantastic way to get people who appreciate your content to show their appreciation! 9 Use Remarketing A powerful alternative to Facebook Ads is Google AdWords. AdWords is another form of PPC advertising but one that shows up on the SERPs. Well, one of the most powerful features of AdWords is the option for ‘remarketing’. This means that you are showing your ads to people who have already been to your site and one of the most powerful ways to use this, is to show your ads to people who have lingered on your buy page but not actually bought from you. This is possible thanks to cookies. It’s incredibly powerful, so try it out! 10 Challenge Objections Remember: remarketing is completely different from conventional marketing. In particular, your aim here is not to convince people that your brand is great or to get them to pay attention. They’ve already done that. Instead, your aim is to get them to buy when they didn’t before. Thus, your ad text needs to be different and one good strategy to focus on, is trying to convince people to overcome the objections they had for buying from you. Perhaps they didn’t buy because they didn’t trust the quality of your product? Then tell them about the money back guarantee! 11 Think About Your Thank You Page Your thank you page is the page you show after someone has bought from you. But you know it’s also something of a dead-end at this point and could lead to lost traffic. What you need to do then is to keep the interest going by including links here or better yet, another call to action! 12 Swap Thank You Page Promos You can also team up with other influencers to get better value from your thank you pages. The aim here is to post a link to their site on your thank you page, in exchange for them doing the same thing. If you both swap your links this way, then you’ll be sharing visitors that are interested in the same topic and that are potentially willing to buy. 13 Post on Reddit If you’re looking for a great place to post your links to gain immediate views, then Reddit is just such a place. Use a good title and make sure that the content lives up to the hype. With luck, this can then result in your links getting shared on other platforms and your post being ‘upvoted’ to the point where you get massive exposure. 14 Post on Google+ Google+ is powerful for the same reason that Reddit is. Whereas Reddit lets you post in a specific category known as a subreddit, Google+ has a ton of great communities where you can share your content and get +1s. These are also thought to help your position in the search rankings! 15 Be Active in the Community When you post on these sites, you will risk having your post downvoted or even deleted. Why? Because if they’ve never seen you before, then this just looks like spam. What’s highly important then is that you actually offer something in return by contributing actively to the community. 16 Have a Strong Brand A strong brand is a powerful tool for promoting your site on its own and it a pre-requisite for all other forms of marketing and growth hack to work. That’s because you need a strong brand for people to feel excited in your brand and interested in it. 17 Know Your Persona and Write for Them Don’t try and make content that everyone can enjoy – this is a surefire way to become bland and to make sure that no one is interested in your site. Instead, create content that is particularly well-suited to a very specific type of person.

To be precise, Affiliate Marketing is all about citing a service or product by sharing it on a website, blog or social media platforms.

In the least, you will earn around 5% of the sale but, with a few arrangements, you can earn as much as 50% of the sale, which mostly happens when you are promoting a class or event.

Instead, our beliefs are often the misinterpretations of past events. As an illustration, let’s take a look to this analogy of belief. Think of a belief as a tabletop. Without any legs, the tabletop won’t even stand up by itself, right? So, what if belief has legs? Here is when you want to believe in something, you have the references to support the idea. The references are the specific experiences that back up the belief where by in this case, the legs are the supporting evidence. These are the legs that make your tabletop solid; and thus, it makes you certain about your beliefs. To put it another way, I am going to give you an example just for you to get the idea of belief. Let say, if you believe that you are not good at Mathematics, you are probably have a lot of references to back it up. Maybe you have answered wrongly in class for several times, you failed the last two tests; or maybe your mother said something like this “I’m afraid you got my genes in the math department, my dear.”, and it could be many other reasons that you could refer to make a stand on your belief. So, based on the references above, you can find experiences to back up almost any belief that you hold on to. The Power Of Belief Let us see how strong the power of belief is. It is either your belief helps you or hurts you; or either it can empower you or cage you in forever. This short story will show you the effects of beliefs. Elephant keepers have an interesting way of keeping their elephants from running away. They tie them to a wooden peg with a rope. It doesn’t make sense on the surface, since a rope like that has no hope of holding a grown elephant. But ask any elephant keeper and he will chuckle and explain: “When a baby elephant is born, the herder ties it to a peg with a rope. At this point, the rope is strong enough to hold the elephant. The baby elephant quickly learns that trying to escape the rope is futile. And he keeps that learning with him, even as he grows up and the rope becomes far too weak to hold him.” One day, the circus accidentally went on fire, and the elephant died. He was enormous, and could have easily ripped the pole out of the ground to run away to safety, but there was a SELF-LIMITING BELIEF in his mind that told him he would not be able to do it, and so he did not even try. Like the elephants, we often form beliefs that might be useful at first, but then hold us back in life, long after the original reasons are gone. This can be concluded by a quote by Anthony Robbins – “Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy.” Back to the famous quote on belief from the Star Wars series which I have mentioned earlier, the lesson to be learned could be related to a scene where Master Yoda uses the force to lift the entire crashed ship out of the swamp, moves it through the air and gently places the ship on firm land as light as a feather. Luke Skywalker stammers “I… I don’t believe it.” and the Jedi Master replies “And that is why you fail.” A Belief That Empowering You Again, I would like to highlight it here, despite the question of whether we could achieve the targeted goal or strategy, it is normally our skepticism or doubt that restricts us from fully dedicating which eventually becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy when things fail to work out as we thought they would. Our beliefs somehow affect how we apply ourselves and will eventually give impacts to our success. So, how to turn your self-limiting belief to a belief that empowering you? When there is a little voice say that you’re not good enough or you are not able to do it, turn it to this: “If I could help someone to get the result for themselves faster, easier and more efficiently than they could do it for themselves, that’s all the credentials I need.” Chapter 3: How To Position Yourself As An Expert In making any purchasing or money related decision, every client wants to be working with an expert, someone who has a definite and legit solution to their problems. Nobody wants to be paying someone who may end up wasting their time and money because of insufficient capability and knowledge. And as a marketer, you have to stand out among the crowd to attract clients. You are just one of the millions fishes in the infinite ocean of alternatives. So what makes you different from other marketers in the business? What does it take to make clients opt for your service or product over somebody else? You become the expert. You establish a brand that everyone seeks for because you’re the best go-to expert. Define Your Expertise A lot of people tend to say “but I’m no expert.” Yes, sometimes, it is true. You probably aren’t the best there is. But often, it is just the wariness and low confidence playing the mind. It’s funny how even after spending years in a field and producing consistent results, people would still be wary to stand up and claim themselves as true experts. Think about it. If you are not confident in your expertise, how and why would any client be willing to pay you big money for business? So don’t be wary about what you’re good in. Be bold and clear. Stand up and own it. Speak of your expertise to people, tell clients what you’re good in, why and how did you become the expert in what you’re doing, also what’s in for them if they pick you instead of others. Think about it, would a client rather work with someone who says, “Well, I guess I help people, um, get more traffic and something like that,” or someone who says, “I am an online traffic expert”? Be definite and confident. Own it. Your clients would appreciate it as it installs confidence in their decision to work with you as well. Create An Expert Intro For Yourself Come up with things that can introduce your expertise to the clients. Videos, articles, interviews, or even live talks - just anything that you can reach out the people and introduce yourself. An expert intro will help to establish your credibility. It is a very powerful tool to convince your clients that you are indeed who you say you are. In your intro, you can state your area of expertise, your tag line - any catchphrase or slogan that you can use to advertise yourself, the name of your website, your service or product etc. Make sure it is one that will clearly work to inform clients about your expertise and what can it bring to your clients, how you can help them and why should they choose you. Share Your Credibility Story It is extremely essential to provide stories or past experiences that can further prove and justify your claim as an expert. Therefore it is important that you share story to enhance your credibility. It works as a connecting device between you and your audience. It helps to establish authority and trust, then it motivates them to take action. Do this step by step. You can begin by sharing story about how you struggle to succeed, this will draw rapport as people can relate to you. Later then you can describe your qualifications and experiences, what are the sources of your deep knowledge. This shall work to demonstrate why you know more than other people in the market, things like certifications, degrees, years of experience, first hand trial-and-error and etc. should do the job. Lastly, you can share your personal stories of finally achieving success, as well as the stories of your successful clients and customers, how did they achieve success through doing business with you. Testimonials Another person’s comment or opinion about you is a very powerful tool. Most people would trust a third party’s words more than the person’s words. Because we believe in majority and we find social proof more trustworthy and legit. So if you are not already receiving some volunteered testimonials to review your credibility, you can start asking people to do so. Send an email to your list to request for their feedback on their experience working with you. If you are willing to go to a further extend, you can also offer free coaching sessions to people who in return willing to be part of a before-and-after experience case to be featured as a social proof testimonial on your site or blog. Marketing Approach How you sell and communicate to your clients will affect your positioning and credibility also. A lot of marketers are still using the old selling approach where they talk about themselves. For example, “Look at how good I am, pay me money and I’ll do it.” If you are always talking about yourself, how good you are whenever you engage in conversation with clients, you will be perceived as pushy and a fake wannabe expert. An expert selling approach is to talk about how you can help them to get the results they want. For example, “You need help? Here’s some ways I can do to solve your problem. Let’s do this. And also this. Now how did that work for you? Great, why don’t you try this next? Let me know if there’s still problem.” Clients are simply looking for people who can solve their problems. The amount of money they’re willing to pay you will be in direct proportion to the amount of confidence they have in your ability to get them results.

This is tremendous firepower in business and if utilized in the right manner it can help you reap serious rewards. Admittedly, technology has its limitations as it cannot possibly guide you on tough decisions such as the kind of business to be in, the services to offer, products to sell, or how to manufacture your products in an efficient manner. However, what it can do is offer you with the capacity to present your products to a huge number of prospective customers online and simplifies the process of getting money from the customers’ pockets into your own. In business there are a lot of tasks that are mundane but are important to the business, quite frankly if we all had a choice we would prefer not to do them. Luckily, with automation you have this choice and you can now free up a substantial amount of your time and devote it towards performing more important tasks in your business. Each and every day, there are millions of shoppers that visit online market places with the intention of finding the right product for them to buy. There are businesses that have already set up their structure to meet this demand and they are moving tons of products already. This goes to show that there is a lot of potential in selling products online. If you have already come up with your business model and have products ready to sell, there are a number of sizeable market places which provide you with the opportunity of uploading pictures of your product and commence selling them on the spot. Examples of some of these marketplaces are Facebook, Amazon, Alibaba, Etsy, and many more. The benefit of these sites is that they are capable of matching the overwhelming demand with the appropriate product. Therefore, you will always have a market for your goods thus enabling you to move them that much quicker. These kinds of marketplaces are great as they provide you with an easy opportunity to market your products online. However, they are not always free and this will eat into your margins. Furthermore, it takes out a little bit of brand image when you use third party marketers. Your business stands to benefit greatly if you are able to create your own e-commerce website. How this can be achieved will be discussed in detail much later. Chapter 02 - Developing your own E-Commerce Store Here you need to ask yourself one important question. Consider the average online shopper that is looking for a specific product but wants the best value for money. Then why would this shopper who is browsing for products on Amazon or eBay purchase your product when it looks almost identical to that of your competitor. You see what these storefronts do is that they arrange their products much like any regular physical store would; according to the category of the product. Coupled with the search function that makes items easier to locate, there is a very high likelihood that the shopper will not see the difference between your product and that of the competitor. The purchase decision will probably come down to mundane things such as color or what is cheaper. Therefore, if you truly want to be successful then you need to consider having your own online store. This will help your product stand out from the crowd and also give your product a sense of authenticity. Admittedly, it would be simpler to set up your own website and sell your product directly using Amazon, Facebook, Etsy, Alibaba or eBay. In fact, in the recent past these sites have focused on simplifying the task for the average user. There are many benefits to using these sites as they have a greater reach than your starting online store would probably have on its own. However, the most common mistake beginners make is that they rely almost entirely on these sites to run their business. For example, the Algorithm that is employed by Amazon to allow the users to search and find different products is in a state of constant change. Therefore, one day your product may come up in the top searches and the next it may not come up. Also, on Facebook, your shares and ads are dependent on a similar algorithm that is always changing. Moreover, you would be required to spend some significant amount of money so that your shares can reach a certain number of people. These are additional costs that cut into your margins. Not forgetting that there are competitors that are selling products that are similar to yours and will often result to undercutting to win over customers. You will be forced to respond in kind resulting is a situation that can be defined as a race to the bottom. How to Sell On Amazon Basically, if you are planning to sell your products on Amazon you will be one of many merchants competing for the same clients. Amazon can be likened to one huge supermarket and you will be one of the many suppliers. Your products will be categorized depending on functionality so there is likelihood that your product will be displayed right next to the competitors’ products. Given this situation, a lot of merchants will resort to reducing their prices in order to stay competitive. While the end consumer greatly benefits from this, you as the merchant will have a totally different experience. It has long been the consensus that a price war will ultimately confer no benefits to the parties involved; it is a race to the bottom from which everyone does not profit. However, there will always be that one desperate merchant that will always slash their prices so that they can win the customer from you. This is just one of those things that you need to prepare yourself to deal with when you trade on this platform. After all, it will often prove to be an arduous affair to set apart your brand in marketplaces such as Amazon, Facebook, or eBay. From the consumers’ perspective you will only be another merchant that is selling a generic product. The consumers being the rational investors that they are will often look for the best value for money in these platforms; the only way to tell if a product is valuable is through reviews however reviews can also be faked. That being said, the main factor shall always be money and the consumers will look for the cheapest product that has acceptable reviews. This goes to show that in creating your own brand, in the course of time you will be able to build an online asset that is valuable and unique. A robust brand has the ability to evoke a sense of trust from the shoppers. When it comes to success in online marketing, trust is one of the key features that you need to pay keen attention to.
