Getting potential customers is the biggest requirement of any marketer. It doesn’t matter which industry you’re in or even if you are online or off. If you don’t have potential customers to show your products or services to, you cannot make sales and you will
Unfortunately, most marketers try to use them to generate sales. That rarely works. Sure, if you have millions of followers or members in your group, you can make sales and maybe even a living from them, but they work best for driving traffic to other pages.
Unfortunately, most marketers try to use them to generate sales.
That rarely works.
Sure, if you have millions of followers or members in your group, you can make sales and maybe even a living from them, but they work best for driving traffic to other pages.
The reason for this is that none of the sites want you to leave.
So they suppress your ability to drive traffic to a sales page.
But, they will allow you to drive traffic to videos, blog posts, information pages, etc.
This means that you can build bridge pages for whatever you’re promoting and post a link to that in your timeline or group.
There’s a little tweak that you can tell your followers to do that makes sure most of them get notified of a new post.
In every group you aren’t the admin for, on the right-hand side, there’s a little button with three periods.
Clicking that will bring up a menu.
One item there is “Manage Notifications“.
When you open that you’ll see what options there are.
Tell your friends and followers.
Which social media platforms work best for driving traffic?
In my experience, there are three.
Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.
I could never get much action from X (previously known as Twitter), or YouTube.
I suspect that I haven’t posted enough videos to YT yet so that might change in the future.
Volume and consistency seem to be significant markers to get the boosting love from any of these sites.
The same applies to TikTok from what I’ve read, but I haven’t got an account there… yet.
The posts that seem to get the best traction currently are short videos, and this is the easiest place to create short videos.
This is the one that holds you back. But it can be developed into one of the strongest. This is how. Start with understanding that other people don’t care about you. Sure, you might have a few people close to you who do, but the rest don’t care. Other people
But it can be developed into one of the strongest.
This is how.
Start with understanding that other people don’t care about you.
Sure, you might have a few people close to you who do, but the rest don’t care.
Other people care about themselves, their finances, their health, their love life, their entertainment and sometimes they care about people close to them.
As a marketer, it’s your job to show them how your product or service helps them with their finances, their health, their love life, and their entertainment.
If you can’t do that then you won’t make a sale, and your finances are limited.
Now, people will tell you that you just need more traffic; perhaps you do.
They’ll tell you that you need a better offer, perhaps you do.
They’ll tell you that you need to write better sales pages, perhaps you do.
But they’ll never tell you that you need more patience.
That’s the weak muscle that you need to build up.
How do you build it up?
By making more offers, writing more sales pages, driving more traffic, and testing everything until you find that sweet spot.
It is there.
I promise, but you’ll need patience.
Scammers sell you one or no-hit wonders that promise instant success.
They know your patience muscle is weak and they hit it repeatedly.
It won’t get any better when you pay attention to them and their lies.
P.S. When you’re struggling with information overload and don’t know what to do next, getting access to something that’s step-by-step and simple makes all the difference.
This process simplifies and enhances content you already own and magically turns it into something brilliant.
For manars I had excuses, lots of them. You might be familiar with some of these. I don’t have time. I don’t have any money. I don’t have the skills. My wife/husband doesn’t support me. I’m always too tired. My computer is too old. etc. I eventually worked out that I was
So many offers currently have lots of bonuses. There’s some AI software that I was offered today for $37 one time. It comes with over $5k of bonuses. WTF? That looks like an incredible deal, but if you don’t need and can’t use the software immediately it’s
Sometimes, loss-leader pricing is used to get you into the funnel where you discover that the sales page tells you what you get if you buy everything, which then pushes the price over $1k, and without everything, nothing works or is extremely limited.
That’d be like a car salesman showing you the brochure for your dream sports car for $2k then telling you that you’ll need wheels, engine, seats, doors, etc.
Perhaps it’s the real estate guy who shows you photographs of your dream home for $5k.
He then explains that that is the land, and then you’ll need foundations, walls, roof, bathroom, bedrooms, kitchen, etc., before you can use it like the photographs show.
I understand that some people, when they decide to buy a product, go bonus shopping to see if they can get a better deal.
Again, I think that’s dumb.
90% of the bonus bundles are not worth a cracker, and the people who do that won’t download or use them anyway.
Some of the bonuses aren’t bonuses either; they’re another affiliate offer that you have to sign up for.
Currently, when I see a product with a lot of bonuses I walk away as quickly as I can because experience has told me that the product is crap.
Can you relate?
Have you got any horror stories for me?

P.S. One marketer I buy from regularly, because his products always provide some useful insight or different way to do something, is Anthony Shepherd.
At the very least his daily emails are entertaining and informative.
I recommend you join his email list and check him out for yourself.
He almost never offers bonuses to his products and he doesn’t have affiliates sell for him.
Through this link, you can get a free report that shows how he makes a six-figure income working three hours a day with email alone.
It’s true. In fact, every email I write makes history. It’s a pretty dull history for the most part, but history nonetheless. That phrase annoys me, “this will make history”. Everything that happens is instantly history. Most of it is dull and boring, but it is still historical.
It’s a pretty dull history for the most part, but history nonetheless.
That phrase annoys me, “this will make history”.
Everything that happens is instantly history.
Most of it is dull and boring, but it is still historical.
What they mean to say is that whatever is about to happen will be recorded in history, while most everything else isn’t recorded, so people forget about it.
The beauty in that forgotten history is that you can write about it, with your slant like all history.
99% of the population reading your version will not have experienced it first-hand and, therefore, will have to accept your version.
She is an avid photographer and posts them all on Facebook.
She and her husband are also avid travellers so she has hundreds of photographs from every trip.
When she tells a story about anything that hasn’t been photographed, our son says, “There’s no photograph, so it didn’t happen. “
No historical record for proof.
How does this email help you?
It gives you the freedom to write about anything, fact or fiction, and embellish it however you like because there’s no one who can dispute your version.
There are some caveats to this though.
If you are writing books about recorded history there will be some facts to be aware of, but always remember that all historical records have beenfiltered through the author’s perception and biases.
This email happens to unembellished fact, but you’d never know if I didn’t tell you.
It’s still history.

P.S. Would you like to discover how to turn some of those PLR documents sitting on your hard drive into products that will have people throwing money at you to buy?
There are only nine ways to maximise online revenue: selling listings, impressions, clicks, leads, books and products, periodicals, memberships, and events.
Now I don’t know exactly what you’re marketing, but I can tell you how to do it better.
The power of incremental improvement.
Japanese manufacturing has been using this idea for decades, they call it Kaizen.
The power of this is mind-blowing.
You may never have heard of Dave Brailsford.
Even in the UK, he’s not exactly a household name.
Yet in 2010, as the newly appointed General Manager and Performance Director for Team Sky (Great Britain’s professional cycling team), he came up with a remarkable strategy that was to change the fortunes of British competitive cycling from miserable mediocrity forever.
They hadn’t won a single race since 1908 apart from one Olympic gold medal.
And no Briton had ever won the Tour de France.
Instead of the usual “train harder” or “get better bikes” philosophy, Brailsford decided to see if every single element of the cyclists and their bikes could be improved by 1%.
Just ONE per cent.
The astounding attention to detail even included discovering which pillow gave the riders the best sleep – and taking it with them to hotels.
They tested the most effective massage gel.
They taught the cyclists a better way to wash their hands so they didn’t get infections.
In 2012, Sir Bradley Wiggins won the Tour de France … the first of FIVE wins for Britons. (Not to mention 178 other world championships and 66 Olympic and Paralympic golds that followed over the next five years!)
I’ve been reading up on Bone Conducting Headphones.
I bought my wife a pair for Christmas and she loves them.
She listens to audiobooks while doing crosswords, going for walks, shopping, having meals, etc.
I think they have been the best present I have bought her in the 20+ years we’ve been together.
The problem with regular hearing aids is that they still use the structure in the ear to pass the sound into the brain.
Bone Conducting Headphones do not.
They bypass the inner ear and feed the vibrations directly into the Cochlear.
They work in a similar way to the Cochlear Implants that some profoundly deaf people have.
However, BCHs are far less obtrusive and much cheaper.
It’s possible to get Bluetooth transmitters that plug into your TV, PC, or other entertainment equipment and wirelessly connect to a set of BCHs.
I have found a lapel microphone that can plug into one of those transmitters which should mean that a deaf person could clip that on, connect to their BCHs and carry on a normal conversation with anyone.
I haven’t tested this complete setup yet.
My set of headphones is on its way, and I haven’t bought the rest of the equipment yet, but if this works as I suspect, then it’s possible to get almost normal hearing assistance for around $50, which beats the crap out of the thousands currently being asked for cheap hearing aids.
The expensive ones are $10k+ and Cochlear Implants are more expensive.
There’s a business out there for you that can be set up for almost nothing and that can potentially earn you millions.
Send me a thank you note when you make serious money from this.
