BEST EYE OPENER

Hello Everyone. This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. My adventure today, was my eye-opener yesterday. I have been blogging for close to 6 months. I have been building my list and building my business online. I have had a variety of topics. I was in the mindset of putting out what I called valuable content to the readers.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/stop%20sign/

Stop, Containing, Street Sign, Security

I was stopped in my tracks by Blain Jones/ co-owner of click track profit. It was one of the best series of questions anyone has asked me. I was writing a post about mastering the basics. Here was the conversation: Blain: Michael you make good posts, but I’d be interested to read how you apply and do what you blog about. How are you mastering the basics, how are you creating cash flow first? What speed bumps or hiccups have you run into?

When you talk about yourself in a post, it makes you more personable and people can picture actually talking to you and relating to you, Verse these things you need to do. Don’t always focus on your successes, people would be interesed to learn about your struggles as well. I think the overall goal is to be relateable to your readers.

It was at this point that the true reality set in. Where is my business now, Sep.21,2020, after 6 months? Was I doing the basics? I had to be honest and say, “I’m still trying to master the basics and I have zero cash flow”. He encouraged me to talk about my struggles. Being a Full-Time Trucker, I drive 2300 miles per week. I have to fit time in to make calls, advertise, create capture pages, and run a full-time business in 2 hours per day. Weekends are better, I’m at home. My family understands what I’m trying to create, so I can quit driving while earning a living online to cover all my expenses and have a lasting dynasty. My challenge is getting people to respond to phone calls, texts, and emails. At this point, It’s a numbers game, so keep adding people daily. I’m still learning about tracking my ads, seeing the email open rates. My list is still small but growing daily. I know it takes time, I’ll keep at it.

Bulldozer, Crawler, Earth-Moving

At this point READER, Building an online business is hard work at first. You have so much to learn, it can be overwhelming. You must be consistent daily. Making those lists to follow, I do and do-follow them and so should you. Start at YOUR starting point, where you are now. Then build on it each day.

Your Time Is Valuable, Use It WISELY.

He further encouraged me: You’re blogging more consistently than most people, which is a great thing. Keep up the writing, it gets easier every time. The more people who take action and actually do things, the better for the community as a whole. Success attracts success. Plain and simple. Honestly, I’m trying to help more people see success!

We all have days where, the effort we put into everything in life, seems to go without a hitch. Other days, Carrying the ball and chain. Struggling all the way. It’s times like this, I’m glad I have a small group of people, who are getting to know me, tell me the truth, give me more directions, a pat on the head, and say” Suck It Up Buttercup”. YOU GOT THIS.

Every business, of course, needs customers, and until you get them, you don’t really have a business. That means you need to learn as much as possible about selling and getting repeat business after your first sale. Your first goal should be to generate as much cash flow as quickly as possible. People buy what they want, so sell what people want. This takes research. Take it seriously, it’s your lively hood. Profitable new niches are typically found by drilling down into such already successful categories. My second niche, click here.

Mastering the basics in network marketing of prospecting, inviting, presenting, closing, training, and promoting for events should be a major focus for you. If you don’t master these basics you won’t make it very far in your business. When you learn to invite properly you will be far more confident to approach anyone about your business. If you find the needs of the people and find some pain in their lives that your business or products can solve it is very simple to transition to showing your business if you know how to invite properly. When you master the basics you are able to have confidence in any situation and your sign up ratio will increase significantly.

Create cash flow first, then profits. You first need to establish consistent cash flow. Now, just decide to do it. All your visions, dreams, goals, plans, and projections are only as good as the action and effort you put into them. Realistically look at building a successful network marketing business as a 3-5 year project to build a successful 10k a month income. Yes, some will make the jump faster, but it’s your business. Take the time to build it right.

Make Time to Follow Up-Creating a follow-up schedule–complete with notifications–keeps the process efficient and effective. A follow-up schedule is just a guideline for you. Your prospects are going to have ideas of their own, and they’ll buy when they’re ready. For those READY, click here

Treat Potential Customers With Respect. Do your homework and have your questions ready, but also come prepared to listen. I see you went to my website because you were looking for something. I would like like to ask a few questions, would that be alright? Did you watch the video after you filled in the form? What kind of money were you looking to earn? When we make that happen for you, what will that mean to your life? When you listen to their answer, Tell them, We call this the “WHY” in business.

Have you looked at Internet Marketing? Do you own a computer? I think you get the POINT. YOU do what feels right for you and your customers.

Provide Valuable Content. Your prospects are busy, and not every follow-up requires a direct conversation. You want to add value, not stress and aggravation. Content marketing not only allows you to bridge the gap with value during the in-between times, but it also allows you to expand your potential touch points. What You share should always be relevant to your prospects and your business. It shouldn’t be a non-stop hard sell.

Meet People Where They Are. If your customer is a phone person, give them a call. Maybe they’re social media focused and you follow up via Facebook or LinkedIn. And everyone can (and should!) be sent emails to communicate.

Respond Quickly. This means reaching out quickly with a response that doesn’t feel canned or empty.

Mention: https://www.leadsimple.com/sales-course/follow-up-tactics

By specifically focusing on improving your contact rate and your meeting rate, you can easily increase the yield of opportunities from your existing lead flow.

The Impact of Making Another Call. People don’t always pick up on the first try and sometimes it takes multiple calls to make contact. So how many calls should you make before giving up? From the chart below, leads contacted after the 6th call are 45% less likely to convert than leads contacted prior to that point. The goal is to stay in front of prospects in a way that creates value rather than annoyance. Time Your Follow up For Maximum Impact. Some days of the week and times of the day are simply better for making sure you connect with prospects.

Best Day To Call VS Email and Best Time To Call VS Email is, Wednesday and Thursday come out on top for both open rates and phone contact rates. Thursday is 26% better for email open rates than the worst weekday, Monday. Thursday is 49% better for phone contact rates than the worst weekday, Tuesday. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS, Track ACTUAL Contact Attempts.

How To Use Safelists

Hello Everyone. This is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure: How to use safelists and traffic exchanges. They are a great resource in your arsenal of advertising. Ask yourself this question, how long have you been struggling to make money online? Safelists are a low-cost method of advertising. Put your offer in front of millions.

Safelists are online communities composed of people who joined them for the specific purpose of advertising and viewing the advertising of others.

You can advertise to all other members of each Safelist without worry about the spam police. They have agreed to receive your mailings as a condition of being a member of the safelist.

Mention: https://www.phildarst.com/__trashed/

When you advertise your product or service on a Safelist, you could reach millions, also  get paid for their advertising by promoting Safelists to them.(You don’t have to depend on family and friends.)

One thing is certain. People subscribing to a Safelist have something to sell. That means you have an audience of ad readers that get rewarded for reading your ad.

Also, people advertising on Safelists want to make money. Most of them are not. Are you?

If they are not and you have an offer or business opportunity that sounds profitable they may join you in your business.

Mention: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/jbintca/blog/safelists-an-effective-traffic-generation-method-or-spam

Personalize The Subject Lines. It’s been proven that people are more likely to click open an email if it’s personalized with their own name.

Don’t try to sell! I look at safelists as an effective lead generation tool, so I will always OFFER something for free as an incentive for opting into my personal list. 

Get organized! Create a spreadsheet with your safelists, and set it up to show you how often you can mail to each one. Every time you mail, make a note of it, and track your links in order to see which safelists are bringing you the highest open rates, and consider upgrading in the ones that bring you the best results. Be consistent and you will see your opt-in rates to your own list start to swell!

You need TOOLS to make money online.

You need Tools to attract people to you, to keep in touch with them, and to have them join you.

Great Change Leaders Focus on People & Process. The 3 C’s of Change Leadership. 1)  Communicate-Successful leaders communicated the “what” and the “why.” 2) Collaborate– Bringing people together to plan and execute change is critical. Successful leaders worked across boundaries, and encourage their team to break out of the mold of complacency. 3)  Commit-Successful leaders made sure their own beliefs and behaviors support change, too. Change is difficult, but leaders who negotiated it successfully were resilient and persistent, and willing to step outside their comfort zone.

How to Write Catchy Titles In Minutes

Hello Everyone. This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. 5 Easy Tricks To Write Catchy Headlines. You need to get your audience hooked! Promise that you are going to deliver value. Make sure you write titles and subheadings that tell the reader why they need to invest time reading your content. Catchy headlines can make or break your content.

Mention: https://www.dreamgrow.com/seven-easy-tricks-to-write-catchy-headlines/

Great headlines give you an edge and convince your audience to read and respond to your copy. People will share your post without reading if the headline is catchy. Keep It Short, Simple, and to the point. The headline should answer your audience’s question “what’s in it for me.”

Mention: https://www.pinterest.com/pennguins/catchy-titles-for-scrapbooking/

Be Clear About Your Main Benefit. Your headline is an ad for your content that has to convince the audience that your content has the answers they are looking for. You can test different benefits to find out what works best.

Announce Exciting News (News Your Audience Cares About) People do care about the things that are important to them. Let them know that there is something new that makes a difference in their lives.

Put Questions in the Headline. The question in the headline should be something that your audience wants to know, if not you will use them. The question doesn’t always have to be in the form of the question. You can just imply or hint at it, like: Do You Want to Know the Top 5 Mistakes Most Bloggers Make? What to Do with Your Dog on a Rainy Day? How to lose belly fat in 1 night with this diet. How to lose belly fat fast. You must learn to respect your readers’ experience. So, be accurate and fulfill your audiences’ expectations.

Come up with a working Title. The work of crafting catchy headlines and titles start with a rough draft – your working title. For instance, a topic might be about “raising healthy kids.” Best Recipes for a Healthy Dinner that your Kid will love to Gobble Up, A Complete Guide to Promoting your Child’s Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Well-Being. These are great example of Working Titles.

Be accurate – Add bracketed clarification

A catchy headline is all about setting clear expectations for your readers. Here are some more examples, “Internet Ad Spend will Surpass TV Ad Spend [New Report]” Tips for making your headlines sound desirable: Have fun with alliteration: “Foolproof Formula.” Use strong words: Here are a few: “Brilliant” or “Powerful”, Use emotional adjectives: Examples in your headline – fun, free, strange, incredible, essential, absolute, effortless, etc. Use unique rationale: secrets, tricks, reasons, ideas, facts, lessons, ways, principles, etc. Make it visual: Consider including the word “photo(s)” in your headline. A study conducted revealed that headlines with the word “photo(s) performed 37% better than headlines that did not feature this word. Include “who”: Headlines with the word “who” generated 22% better CTR than headlines without it.

State the ‘Big’ Benefit: So, make sure to reflect it in the headline of your blog post. The headline should motivate them to click and read.

Use Number (Odd Number) in your Headline

Studies have shown that headlines with numbers generate more clicks than headlines without it. Numbered Headlines simply work with readers. Numbered Headlines get more clicks than posts without it. Numbers make the headline much more enticing.
