How To Make Money Online Without Trying

How to make money online without trying

There are a lot of people that are looking for information on how to make money online without trying. Perhaps you are one of them? I know that when I started out in online marketing I did my best to find some way of generating an income without really doing any hard work. That’s what we all want isn’t it?

How to make money online without trying

What I found out was that I was approaching it all wrong. What I was doing was actually scaring people away from me, as opposed to what I wanted which was for them to trust me enough to buy whatever product I was selling.

I mean, I had products to sell… I had sales pages, I had email campaigns setup, I thought I was doing everything right.

But I was wrong.

I was constantly trying to SELL to people, and that was NOT what my customer wanted.

Online Marketing Done the Right Way

Something that I found out was that the marketing I was doing had zero focus on actually helping people get what they needed in order to succeed.

You see, people don’t like to be sold products, but they SURE like to buy things!

So… instead of trying to sell them products, I turned it around to be all about helping people find what they wanted to buy.

You see, there’s a difference there.

Here’s something I posted on Facebook a while ago:

“I’m a terrible salesman, but I’m pretty good at helping people buy things..”

It’s something that turned out to be a real turning point in my online marketing success.

I stopped being a salesman and started just helping people buy..

Big difference in approach, HUGE difference in results.

So, in closing I would definitely say that if you’re looking for ways on how to make money online without trying, you need to start with deciding what kind of ‘selling’ you’re going to be doing. Start off on the right path and you’ll reach your destination a lot quicker.

Thanks! Have a great day!

3 Things To Do Today to Grow Your GlobalNPN Business (before visiting the Grand Canyon)

by

Hello all..

So I’m sitting in a hotel room in Flagstaff, Arizona.

It’s 6am and the rest of my family is sleeping. I’m on my computer.. in the dark.. working.

I’m on “vacation”.

So far I’ve answered a whole pile of emails, skype’d a couple people about business, and I’m currently working on an article I’m writing for my monthly contribution to Magnetic Sponsoring’s “What’s Working Now?”… oh yeah, and I’m writing this blog..

In other words, I’m working.

My question for you is:

What 3 things are YOU going to do today to grow your GlobalNPN business?

I figure if I can be on vacation, visit 4 national, and state, parks in the last couple days with my wife and 3 kids (including a looong drive to the Grand Canyon), take in a MLB game in Phoenix… AND manage to keep my business moving forward. YOU must be able to accomplish a lot more.. right? 🙂

So tell me..

What 3 things (or more) are YOU going to do today to grow your GlobalNPN business?

I’ve been checking our stats and our new sales funnel is rocking! Seriously. When I get home I’m going to be tweaking it and optimizing it a bit more before I start on our next funnel. But really, just get people into that funnel..

Anyways… gotta make this kinda quick.. lots to do before we start our day..

Again, I’d love to hear what you have on your agenda today..

So please comment below with 3 things you’ll accomplish (or have already accomplished) today to grow your business. (don’t just ‘like’.. comment;)

Thanks, have a great day!

Are You Building a Business or a Hobby?

by

Hey guys,

Here is a question I asked myself back when I started out in internet marketing years ago..

Did I want to run a business, or did I just want to do it as a ‘hobby’.

You see, there’s a huge difference between the two, in how you decide to run your online business.

Basically there are two ways to consider how you really want this whole online business thing to turn out. But this is really important because it’s a choice you need to make sooner than later when you’re thinking about starting an online business for yourself.

Here are your choices:

  1. Build a business, create long term wealth.
  2. Sell stuff online as a hobby.

You can either seriously build your business, focus on creating long term wealth, create a foundation that will enable you to sell ‘any’ product or service based on the brand you’ve created for yourself.

.. or..

You can just ‘sell stuff online’.  Be a faceless, nameless, anonymous affiliate and focus on getting traffic to your affiliate links. Nothing more, nothing less.

Now, there’s honestly nothing wrong with choosing either option. But you should make this choice as soon as you can, otherwise you’ll be forever stuck in ‘limbo’ without any real path to follow.

You have to understand there are big differences between these two choices..

Building a business and focusing on creating long term wealth is a LOT of HARD work. But the pros far outweigh the cons. You’ll be building something you can be proud of, something you can stand behind and something that can realistically generate millions of dollars in sales, and something that generates true passive long term income.. It sounds great (and it is) but you have to be COMMITTED to following through. Not for months, for years.

On the other hand, if you just want to ‘sell stuff online’.. Yes, you can make a lot of money doing this as well, however you have to realize that if you traffic stops (if YOU stop), your sales will too. And once your sales stop, you’ll be right back where you started..

There are two paths you can follow, and I can help you with both, but YOU have to choose and ACCEPT the reality of the choices you make. ie. If you don’t choose to build a solid brand and business, don’t expect to HAVE a business.

That’s all, just make a choice so you can follow through with what that choice is.

Have a great day!

The 30 Day Blogging Challenge – Are you up for it?

by

Hello all..

I would say “Happy Friday” to you but if you run your own business like I do… weekends are never really “weekends”. Not that I’m complaining 🙂

Okay, I have a challenge for you..

As most of us know, an essential part of our online presence is our blogs. Right? And in order to be productive in your blogging, you need to follow the “C.C.C.” rule:

“Constantly Create Content”

Hey, that’s not bad considering I just made that up now. lol

Seriously though, the content you create on your blog is not only important for your blog traffic, it’s also a very important part of your list building as well. Yes, yes it is.

You always need to be providing value to your list, and you blog content is an incredibly easy way to deliver it. As many of you know, most emails I send out will point you to my blog to get the complete message. Very rarely do I deliver a complete email message in an email (go figure) – I always give them the “gist” of it, then say “go here to get the rest..” and off they go to my blog. You can say so much more on a blog than you can in an email, and you can deliver it better, brand yourself, get feedback, and really put your personality into your message.

Right, so here’s your challenge…

In my opinion, you should be delivering content to your list – via your blog – 3-5 times per week.. MINIMUM. And if you want to put numbers to it, focus about 30% of it on marketing a product, the rest is just valuable content.

My challenge is for you to create 5 blog posts per week for the next 30 days.

Blog posts that are relevent to whatever you’re currently marketing of course. 5 posts per week for a month is 20 blog posts in total. Sounds like a lot but really all we’re talking about is 1 hour per day for 5 out of 7 days.

Note: If you’re feeling particularly creative you could do all 5 in one day, then all you have to do is post them on the approprate days. It’s up to you.

Honestly that’s not a lot of time, but blogs last forever so what you’re doing is creating content that you can use over and over again to provide value to your list.

What do you think? Can you do it? Will you do it? … or will you let it go, once again searching for an “easier way”?

As always, it’s up to you of course..

Oh and by the way, I’m challenging myself to do this as well. It’s not easy when you have other businesses to run but I’m up for it.

Let me know if you do this and I’d be happy to come over and comment or give suggestions..

So.. Happy Friday! Hit me up on Facebook if you like:

3 Things You Can Do Every Day “Before Lunch Time” to Build Your Online Business

So.. what are you going to do this morning? How about tomorrow morning? How about EVERY morning? Do you have a plan? Do you have a schedule?

You should.

Call it what you want, I call it my “morning brain”.

If you don’t really know what “those tasks” might be, here are a few do give you some ideas…

1. Create New Unique Content

Content? Write a new blog post. Spin it into an article. Make a video and upload it to Youtube. Create a powerpoint presentation and spin that into videos, articles, blogs, and email broadcasts… Create something! Focus all your content on generating leads to your list!

2. Advertise

Buy a solo ad. Start a Facebook PPC campaign. Run a classified. Buy some TE credits. Solo ads are awesome, make sure you are tracking everything. Send a broadcast to your list.

3. Socialize

Comment on blogs. Comment on Facebook. Share stuff on Facebook. Tweet everything. Put yourself out there and get in touch with people. Be friendly. Be helpful. Be excited. Be the “go-to” guy/gal.

Bonus: 4. Learn Something New

Go to Google and do some research. Learn how to write good ad copy. Learn how to write a good followup sequence for your autoresponder. Learn how to create a good squeeze page. Learn how to followup with your leads based on their personality type. Learn. Learn. Learn.

There you are. I guess the point here is to just do SOMETHING that will grow your business. Just do it. Just do it.

What are your first tasks in the morning? Comment below..

See ya!
