PASSION. Purpose. Profit
I want to tell you a quick story.
It’s a small story.
Nothing earth shattering happened.
But it was very meaningful to me.
But in some ways, in a time of need……it helped me really clarify what I’m trying to do with my work, my art and my life.
It started with a simple question -
“what are you eating, I asked”
It was also my birthday. [Read more...]
I usually don’t do this sort of post on my blog……but due to complete and utter absence of any other alternative ideas, I’m going to re-post an article we just submitted to EZA, here. (I typically hate to do that, because this blog draws a much different audience, and I usually write those articles for a general audience, and list building purposes alone)
You can see the full article on EZA HERE: (or you can save yourself possible corporal tunnel, skip the click and read the whole thing below instead)
The steps to earning $100 a day are really, really simple…..and if you apply the simple structure below to a good niche that you have GENUINE passion, you can make it happen in a hurry..:-)
Enjoy!
Who else is struggling to have their first one hundred dollar day? Are you overwhelmed with information, opportunities, gurus, product launches and other nefarious nonsense that is distracting you from getting where you truly deserve to be?
The truth is…..if you aren’t making a MINIMUM of $100 a day online... this short article will definitely help light the way. (and by the time it’s done, I promise you will have EVERYTHING you need to know to make it happen… and in a hurry as well).
For the purposes of speed and space, I’m going to share with you the super simple, 3 step blueprint for converting your content into CASH.
3 Steps. Ready?
If you follow, and diligently apply this approach to your own business, you WILL be able to RADICALLY re-create your own financial future, starting today if you so choose.
Here is how you apply it:
Step 1: You write articles like this one.
Step 2: You use your articles to build a list. (send your readers to a one page, lead capture form with a big, bold headline, a few bullets and a prominent form that offers a great inducement for signing up)
Step 3: You follow up with the folks who signed up using a series of automated messages that offer a simple solution for whatever it was that compelled them to sign up in the first place.
Now, unless you are just getting started in the online marketing business, the key components of the above approach are NOT unfamiliar to you. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of online marketing “gurus” who have made huge fortunes online use some permutation of this approach.
The difference is… YOU are going to do it BETTER.
Why?
Because you won’t need a million JV partners and uber aggressive affiliates of questionable character to promote your offer to do amazingly well, by doing good.
Here is how this approach is BEST utilized for people like you and I, in just about EVERY niche under the sun.
- Start by picking a niche you are PASSIONATE about. Something that you love to do, and would do for free if you could. (because all things being equal, the profit always favors the passionate!)
- Create a curriculum, or a coaching program around your passion. I don’t care if you are passionate about credit, cars, finance, food, healthy living, spirituality or whatever it is. If you have expertise, and can communicate that through content (articles like this one) you CAN build a community of friends, fans and followers who will pay you for your time.
- Price it to profit. If your goal is $100 a day, all you need is 1 single sale of a $97 dollar consultation offer a day to get there. Or, better yet…. 10 $300 monthly clients. Or, 3 $1000 clients.
If you aren’t ready to sell yourself?
Find a good affiliate program to promote that factors out the same way. (where the math scales out to give you your financial target, whether that’s $100 a day or $1000)
The bottom line is, if you create content that is designed to generate a community, and you can turn a small segment of that community into clients, you can get rich online… PERIOD. (and you can have a whole bunch of fun, and make a killer contribution along the way!)
“Newsweek has 100x the numbers of followers on Twitter as it does on Tumblr, but was getting 10x more engagement from those Tumblr followers.
That’s a significant number, I think.” NY Mag argued that the success of Newsweek’s Tumblr presence was due in part to Coatney’s conversational style and furthermore, a Tumblr couldn’t be managed by “fresh-faced interns,” that old-media publications wouldn’t pay.A handful of traditional media outlets have since hopped on the bandwagon, signing up for Tumblr with hopes of getting social with the Tumblr community. Tumblr could become a valuable resource for traditional companies and media outlets trying to garnish relationships with a younger audience.
How to Start Using Tumblr | Social Media Today
The more I use Tumblr, the more I am starting to really love it for creating quick content that is conversation, and community driven.
Why?
Because while comments are a great and traditional way for readers, “fans”, friends and subscribers to interact with your ideas, the plethora of tools that Tumblr provides out of the box for engagement are truly FAR better than WordPress, and other popular blogging platforms offer.
For example…..if you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, and have downloaded the Content Community Continuum series of outlines, you already know how big of a fan I am of user generated content. Q and A templates, community oriented themes, social plugins like Buddy Press, and other innovative ways to get readers to actually PARTICPATE is my favorite way to build rapport, relationship and simultaneously, have your content created for free to boot..:-)
But sometimes, actually getting people to step up and share is easier said than done. (be it asking questions on a Q and A blog, or sharing an experience, or submitting a picture or taking part in a contest, etc)
For whatever reason…….on Tumblr, be it the ethos, or the age or the attitude, the engagement level is so much better, and faster and deeper that it blows me away.
From accepting user generated “submissions” or simply activating the “ask me” feature, to the notes, follows and re-blogs built in, it’s truly a lot of fun and a great way of connecting with a community who shares your interests.
Check out the article above for more……or better yet, just dive in, explore experiment and adventure in the Tumblr terrain for a day or two and get the feel for it yourself.
As a supplemental social strategy with A list potential, and 100% free….well worth the look for sure..:-)
