PREPARATION FOR PURPOSE

What a ride this has been. Greetings and salutations from Michael The Traveling Trucker.

Impossible, Possible, Attitude, Positive

Looking back is always perfect vision. It’s easy to look at where we have been and realize what choices we should have made or paths we should have taken.

It’s easy to miss the lessons of life that God is teaching us through constant challenges. Within the context of those challenges, we find valuable life lessons that must be learned.

So do you show up daily? Do you do your best for this day? Today is all you have, so let us DREAM BIG, TAKE ACTION and FOLLOW UP and FOLLOW THROUGH.

What is your biggest challenge? Mine is connecting to people. Being a driver, I have drive days that keep me driving all day and part of the night. I don’t get the opportunities as often as I like for my phone calls, texts and emails. I will do my best today. I will show up. I will make those calls.

Building a business is really a 2-5 year plan. You will have high’s and low’s. I see through observation of my leaders, they are consistent in all they do.

Here is a great interview with Rob Gehring, Hosted by Lisa M Gentile. Rob describes his daily routine. Click here to watch the video.

Describe your daily habits. What do you start with, and where do you end your day?

I start with my blog, Phone calls are next, with texts and emails second. I jump on the advertising wagon, shooting those arrows. I read and comment on different post, upvoting at every opportunity.

As we build our following, remember it’s all about PEOPLE. Be kind, lead with passion, love with a grateful spirit. Be willing to give your ALL. The reason I’m here is my mentors have shown such love, passion, and commitment to me. For that, I’m eternally grateful.

I will be all God has called me to be. I will continue to learn, make mistakes and sometimes fail. I will have GREAT SUCCESS at the end of the day.

What is your best TRAFFIC SOURCE?

And their off. Blazing the trail looking for the best traffic ever to bring more people into the marketing family.

This is you CB host, Michael The Traveling Trucker. QUESTION?

What sources do you use to get traffic? I use a combination of viral mailers, blogging platforms, social media, and solo ads.

Remember to brand yourself. It shows people you are a leader, trustworthy and they can do business with you.

Mention: https://internetmarketingblog101.com/get-free-traffic-from-free-solo-ads-that-work/

Solo ads are advertisements on other people’s email lists in which you’re the only thing being advertised in that email.

These ads have links to drive traffic to your website or funnel. Figure Out Who Is Writing The Subject Line And Ad.

Communicate With The Person You’re Buying Ads From. You are buying from a real person so please make sure this person is trustworthy.

TEST THE LIST : Test the smallest amount the owner will let you , and see what results you get before buying larger quantities.

Udimi is an excellent source. Click Here to view Udimi’s site. It lets you view the sellers, from pricing to geographical locations that they use. It also shows their ratings, how well they do from the feedbacks of their customers.

On to Viral Mailers

I use more than 30 Viral Mailers daily. I get great results for traffic leads.

How well do you use your Social media? I know there is Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram. Have you tried Pinterest or Tumblr? These two site bring great results. It is a bit of work but well worth it.

Would you share your best traffic sites with me? People helping people is the name of the game. When you help one person you help the community as a whole.

How To Get The Right People To Open Your Email

Mention:https://pixabay.com/images/search/email/

Welcome Saturday Truckerettes, This Is Your Host, Michael The Traveling Trucker.

I’ve been studying lately how to get the right people to open my emails. I have to say some of the info was eye opening and thought provoking.

Let me ask this question, What is your open rate? When you track and split test, what are your results?

The average email open rate is 21.33 percent. Keeping track of your results is vital. This shows what works and what doesn’t. If you don’t belong to Hits Connect, click here. This is a great site for tracking your results.

To get people to open your email, start with a benefit: People feel good when they know they will benefit from you, It will give people the incentive to open your email. Say something like: How to triple your social media following.

When you create CURIOSITY, people are really tempted to open your email. Write something like: What Does reading have to do with success or what to do if some falls down?

USE NUMBERS: Users understand what’s in store for them when they click an article. It’s about clarity, helping them to manage their expectations. Example, Why 90% of marketers are doing it wrong?

Borrow Credibility: People love to know what well-known people think, give advice, or talk about how to solve a problem.

HERE IS A COOL SITE I FOUND:

The #1 Free Headline Analyzer

Write Headlines That Drive Traffic, Shares, And Search Results

https://coschedule.com/headline-analyzer

Here are some things to meditate on:

Test Different Email Subjects, Testing Different Times and Days Of Send, Testing Different Email Frequencies, Testing Different Sender Emails, Testing Different Email First Lines.

Tease the value and benefits of opening and reading the rest of the email. Make them fearful of missing out, make it impossible for them to resist the urge to delve a little further.

In closing, Will you share your secret email headlines with me? What your open rates are? I can always use all the help I can get. Leave me a comment now. I will respond back, to thank you.

How To Set Yourself Up For Success

Welcome Everyone. This is your HOST, Michael The Traveling Trucker.

Do you have a daily plan to start your day? Do you have a set routine, you follow each day? Do you set a certain amount of time for phone calls?

How much time for emails, follow ups and mentoring your people?

How you start your day will help or hinder you all through out the day.

Successful people, Millionaires, Billionaires have a strict code for their day. They set blocks of time for phone calls. They only do this one activity for that block of time.

They move on to the next activity, emails. Then go down the list, until they finish what they set out to do.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/goal/

Do you set goals? Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly? Do you have a 5-year plan, 10-year plan? Do you do income-producing activities or just busywork?

The 1st thing is to set up your funnel. Do you know how to set up your lead capture page for your funnel? We can show you. Click Here, Then advertise, finally, follow up and follow through.

This is my recommendation: Follow up, Stay positive, and Talk To The Right People. Make sure you ask qualifying questions, How much money on a monthly basis, do you want to earn? What would that amount do to your lifestyle? What type of budget do YOU have?

If people don’t have a budget or a small budget, it will be much harder to achieve the success they want. You can do it on a small budget, just plan it out in every detail, so you will begin to get the results you are looking for.

If people don’t have a budget or unwilling to get a budget- I know this sounds harsh, but move on. These people will drain your time and energy.

You’re sitting at home, in front of your computer. You have reached a point where you want to earn some additional income. You would love some relief from the bills and not having enough of the daily things in life. You have penny pitched enough. So begins your delve into internet marketing. You look around, not sure what you are looking for. You see an ad like this: So you click, the click here now button.

Then it takes you to the New Member Registration page. Some fill it out while others who are skeptical go right on by. Some forms ask for your name, email, and phone number. At the bottom of the form, it says, if you don’t want to leave a number, place the number 5 in the box. This is where I don’t understand, why do people put a fake number in? If you don’t want the call back place the number 5 in the box. We respect your privacy. As someone building a business, this gives me false hope. When I see a number, I call it, then you hear, this phone number is no longer in service, mailbox full can’t except any new messages, or my favorite error 57, which means no number exists.

Funnels- Why Use Them

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. What a topic to cover. The FUNNEL. How to use them and why you use them. How to create them, how to advertise them, and get the best results possible.

A funnel is the set of steps a visitor needs to go through before they can reach the conversion. Maybe you want them to make a purchase, sign up, or fill out a form. When someone does something you want them to do, it’s known as a conversion. The visitor converts from browsing to taking the action you want them to take.

Why is the set of steps to conversion called a “funnel”? Because at the beginning of the process, there are a lot of people who take the first step. Then, as the people continue along and take the next steps, some of them drop out, and the size of the crowd thins or narrows.

The top of the funnel is where everyone goes in. They see your lead capture page and fill out the form. The ones interested go on to the next step. They end up on your Thank You page. You need a new audience to have eyes on your funnel, daily. Keep track of how people move through your funnel. You aren’t limited to using your funnel strictly for signing up and/or purchasing. You can put funnels all over your website to see how visitors move through a specific website flow. Figure out what your goals are and what you want visitors to do on your site, and you can create a funnel for it. Once you have the data, you’ll be able to see where roadblocks are and optimize your funnel.

A lot of marketers offer freebies- a news letter- 3 day mastermind webinar- Ebook, or a host of other information one might be interested in.

How to use your Network Marketing Funnel-Okay… this is the question that lots of people have. “I’ve got a funnel, but how do I get it out there and how do I use it?” Well, from now on, anytime you do a social media post or you do any videos on YouTube, Facebook lives, Instagram lives, whatever it is, your call to action should not be for people to go buy your stuff. It should always be, “Hey, if you’re interested in knowing what the ebook offers, go to this link and put your name and email and you’ll immediately get the ebook for free.”

You’re going to be promoting your your free value that you’re dedicated to bringing to the marketplace before trying to sell stuff.

Your sales will come as a result and they’re going to be on the back end inside of your funnel. When you’re out on social media you’re now giving value and your leading people into your funnel and you’re using your funnel as your call to action.

No matter what business you’re in, if you need to attract clients or prospects and make sales, offer FREE TRAINING. It will be the best decision you will make.

A BIG THANK YOU

Hello Everyone, This is your gear jamming, CB talking, Load moving, Michael The Traveling Trucker. What a joy it has been to build my online business. I say thank you to a number of people Janet, Blain, Jon, Rob, and all the members from all these groups, who comment on my blogs. These folks have guided me to expand my horizon, challenged me to learn, encouraged me to show up daily. All these people are instructing me on their tricks of the trade.

I’m learning about building a resource page. It was said “K.I.S.S”. Kept It Simple Silly. I have had to visit other sites to determine what to put on my resource page to make it look right, plus putting links to each picture. For some, this is childs play. I like it but a little slow getting it done.

I was asked if I checked my CTRs and ROIs on my advertising. I said the money was a little tight for the purchase of a solo ad. I would have to do some side work. Today I went to Hits Connect and the results weren’t that good. I will have to adjust how I’m doing my rotators and campaigns. At this point, I haven’t got a good grasp on keeping up with CTR and ROI’s.

Solo ads are fun. Looking at all the sellers at Udimi. I was taught early what to look for and to whom to stay away from.

From Eliana over at CTP:

Staying the course, from driving to the internet definitely has it’s challenges. I have to make myself get things done, when the opportunity presents it’s self.

FREE FREE FREE

When you see the word FREE- what comes to mind? Be honest, what’s the catch, right? Free sandwich with the purchase of chips and a drink. Free oil change after 4th oil change. Buy 3 tires get 4th free. See the pattern. Your free is costing you something, which does bring value to you.

People really love free stuff, do we use what we have to give our stuff away for free, or charge a small fee for what we have? Our business model here at CLB Learning is to have people sign up for a free account. Then we show the value of being an upgraded member. Experts Agree … Mentoring, Training, and Education is the Shortest Path to Success and Financial Freedom … Hands Down!
Discover Inside that Internet Marketing is Amazingly Easy When You Are Part of a Community Who Cares. There are businesses that give away free Ebooks to build their list and promote their offers. CLB was a rebrandable ebook to start.

Your list is your main FOCUS. PAY ATTENTION TO HOW YOU CREATE THAT LIST. The biggest secret isn’t that you need a huge number of people on the list, but that you want a better conversion of subscribers to customers. You can do this by paying attention to how you are creating the list, how you are marketing it, and what is actually happening when you send out an offer. Here are some basic things you should know about a responsive mailing list.

Single opt-ins can be fooled. Learn how to use a double opt-in strategy to build a better list. Targeted demographics are better than niches. Demographics tell you the reasons why people buy, while niches just assume everyone on your list is interested. Automate what you can. Learning about the technologies and tools available can save you valuable time and increase your bottom line.

People do have a price. It’s up to you to figure out what that price is. They may be willing to subscribe, for a free short report, enter a contest, or savings on a product they like. ORGANIC is better. Organic lists are generally more responsive than a list created by buying email addresses. You will want to focus on getting up close and personal with your prospective buyers, instead of just assuming that they want to buy your products because they signed up to your list. Here are some tools to think about. The Double opt-in list, Check open rates, Autoresponders, Services. You need to create teaser emails that will keep people interested in your product until it is complete or ready for release without giving away too much about the product.

Creating effective headlines and subject lines is really not all that difficult.
Studies show that emails with catchy headlines are far more likely to get
opened than those that do not. Research has shown that people have to see an
advertisement several times before they actually make the decision to buy.

ABUNDANCE

Load up my semi-trailer with a load, let me roll down the road. I’m talking 15 thousand pounds of mushrooms to my delivery in Ga. Now we think, wow this is abundance, but this will be gone in one day. Sent to stores all over the south for you to buy. Hello and welcome, I’m Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today I want to share a greek word with you:” PERISSEUO” and it means to ” furnish one so richly that he has abundance and abounds with overflow.

Here is a very simple question. When you think about your business do you have an abundance mindset? Do you believe that you can create abundance in your home business? The one thing most entrepreneurs are least prepared for when they start a home business career is how to prepare their mindset regarding money! Your business is all about your abundance mindset. Do whatever is necessary today to develop your employee mindset into an entrepreneur mindset. Define what limiting beliefs you struggle with and change them into abundant money beliefs.

Step into the “abundance mindset” and understand your value isn’t based on you personally, but instead, based on how much your customer learns and takes away from your products and services. Bring your “A Game” and you can charge any amount that is in-line with the quality of your products.

My mindset has changed over time from, If only someone will buy what I have to My business is moving so fast with orders. People are trusting me at my word. I offer solutions to your problems. I help take the pressure off by offering you simple step by step instruction on building your business to 6 figures and beyond. What do you see? Is it lack or way more than enough that you have to give some away? A leader with an abundance mindset knows that there is enough to go around for everyone. They tend to move forward in life with fulfillment and confidence in what they have and what they’re capable of having because they believe in the power to create what they want. When people work toward developing an abundance mindset, they become empowered leaders who see everything as an opportunity instead of a challenge or defeat.

Abundance-minded leaders invest in themselves and their teams. They see the value in personal development and choose to provide opportunities for growth as much as possible. The growth they promote isn’t limited to job-related skill training. It extends to areas of emotional and mental health as well. Because of this, team members can develop a sense of worth. Invest in books, audio, video, and whatever takes you to the next level in life.

THE GIFT OF GAB

This is for those who don’t have a clear verbal communication style. This is your trucker host, Michael The Traveling Trucker. So what exactly is the gift of gab? How you ever come across someone while speaking to them, you are mesmerized, holding on to every word?

Mention:https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/gift-of-the-gab

The ability to speak easily and confidently in a way that makes people want to listen to you and believe you.

Rebecca Stamer does a great video, click here to watch.

The ability to speak to others in a self-assured, persuasive manner. Talent for verbal fluency. If someone has the gift of the gab, they are able to speak confidently, clearly, in a persuasive way.

Woman, People, Coffee, Portrait — Use The Phone Daily

This is from Rod Gehring’s script: you can tweak it to fit who you are.

It is important to understand the importance of having a “real” conversation with a prospect. This also saves you time in qualifying your list and only talking to people who are serious and ready. Be sure they indicate at least 50.00 available to get started now; otherwise I advise against you calling unless you want the practice. When I capture a lead, I generally ask for their phone number along with first name and email address. Then, I send the following text which is called “The Magic Text”. Hey {Prospect Name}, Rob here, your {Company Name} sponsor. Go to {Your Facebook Profile} and send me a friend request so I can have you schedule with me and we can get you earning ASAP, ok?

Check out Rob Gehrings video on Scripts. Click here.

This is a good qualifier as I may be able to connect with them on Facebook to have them set an appointment with me. If they are unresponsive, then we move to a phone call where we can interview them directly.

One of the greatest lessons on talking to people is to do it often, every day on phone calls. This will give you the confidence you need to carry on a conversation without feeling like you are lost or don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s all about talking to a friend, best friend, or loved one. It should be that natural when talking to people about your business. Let yourself flow, asking questions, and waiting for people to respond. Then ask more questions, feeling them out to see where best to help them.

If you want a master Gabber- Check out Jon Olson from Click Track Profit. In my opinion, Jon is very smooth, eloquent, fluid in speech, and gets his point across that’s easy to follow.

I work hand in hand with Janet Legere, owner of CLB Learning. She makes talking a true art form. These people have perfected, speaking to others, guiding them, and helping them become a success. The more time you spend talking with people, you will understand the art of GAB. YOU will have the ability to SPEAK EASILY and CONFIDENTLY in a way that makes people want to listen to YOU and believe YOU.
