Let’s dive in …
Focus, grasshopper, focus
When you first start out in to the online marketing, whether you’re an affiliate marketer or a network marketer, focus is key.
It is so east to fall into the trap of thinking that you have to start learning everything about everything.
Suddenly that feeling of “overwhelm,” which I hate, starts setting in.
So let me break it down into 3 manageable steps.
1. Who the heck are you marketing to?
Nothing else matters if you don’t get this first piece right.
You can have all the systems and tools in the world: an autoresponder, an awesome-looking website, and a cool cover banner, but …
if you’re not speaking to your one perfect prospect, that one ideal customer or distributor that you want to attract to yourself, you’ve got no hope of getting the thing right.
So take a moment to really define who you want to attract. Ask yourself:
- What’s the person’s name?
- What’s their occupation?
- What do they like to do?
- Where do they hang out?
- What do they read, watch, listen to?
- What are they afraid of?
- What keeps them awake at night worrying?
It might sound like overkill, but If you can really nail that, then you can hit that in your marketing message.
Then, the flip side of that is to ask yourself …
- What are they running towards?
- What are their goals?
- What are their dreams?
- What are their desires?
- What do they want to get?
It’s kind of like the carrot and the stick analogy.
You want to whack them with the stick, but you also want to dangle the carrot.
If you can do that, you can move them towards making a decision, which is ultimately investing in you and your product, service, or opportunity.
So my number one tip is to get clear on that.
Know the person, describe them, understand their problems, and their desires, and see if you can hit them with both the pains and problems, as well as with the goals and desires.
2. Get clear and focused on YOUR offer
This was huge for me when I started. I didn’t have a clue.
Now I don’t mean which of your company’s products you want to promote. I mean what YOU are going to offer, what will make YOU stand out from the thousands of other online marketers out there.
I didn’t know what the heck I wanted to offer.
I just wanted to offer anything that anybody would buy.
It’s funny because I wanted to help, but I would just throw a bunch of mud against the wall to see what would stick.
It wasn’t until I got clear by saying …“This is going to be my offer. This is what and how I’m going to market,” that things really turned around for me.
That’s what is going to occur with you once you get this process figured out in your head.
A lot of network marketers simply regurgitate whatever their upline tells them and wonder why they are not getting the same results
When you get consistent with YOUR message, you will develop your own voice and THAT is what will make you stand out.
It’s amazing what happens if you…
- Follow
- One
- Course
- Until
- Successful
That’s the acronym for FOCUS.
Let’s recap.
- Tip number one was get clear and focused on who you are speaking to.
- Tip number two, get clear and focused on your unique offer.
3. Develop a simple DMO
Before I get ahead of myself, let me just check that you guys know what a DMO is?
Because I didn’t know what the heck a DMO was when I started.
A DMO, at least the way I see it, is a Daily Method of Operation.
What are you doing day in and day out?
What is your business day going to look like?
Feel free to download my Time Management Action Plan Workbook if you need a helping hand to define what your ideal DMO should look like.
This is especially important if you’re trying to build your business alongside other commitments, like I am.
Aside from the businesses I also take care of our two small boys aged 4 and 2. My life is organized chaos!
You wonder – when do you fit building your business into your life with so much else going on?
What I’ve found is that you must be laser focused, saying…
“These are the times that I’m going to build my business.”
I have found that the beauty about building your business online, is that you can build it when it’s convenient for you.
Because the Internet never sleeps.
So you need to develop a simple DMO.
The first thing I want to recommend is — plan your day out ahead of time.
If you can run into Monday knowing exactly what you need to do to feel accomplished, you’re never going to feel stuck, because you’re always going to think…
“Yep, I wrote down what I wanted to do. I wrote down: define my perfect prospect, get clear on what their pains, and their problems, and their goals, and their desires are.”
Then if you just get that one thing done, do you feel like a rockstar?
You darn well should, because you are a rockstar!
You took a positive action step in the right direction towards your goals and dreams.
If time is precious, you need to block some time in your day.
Consider putting your phone on airplane mode to cut out the distractions. Block 30 to 45 minutes and just hit it hard for that block of time and be focused.
Again, focus, grasshopper.
Then, take 10 or 15 minutes and chill. Watch some mindless TV, grab a cuppa, spend time with your other half, play with your kids, do whatever you do to switch off.
Leave the room, and then when you come back for your next session you’re fresh, you’re clear, and you’re ready to rock and roll.
Last, but certainly not least, remember the WIN principle…
What’s Important Next?
There are so many good things to do, but typically there’s only one great thing to do.
So get really clear on what’s important next.
It doesn’t really matter about learning about autoresponders, and learning about widgets, and doing all this crazy stuff, if you don’t know who you’re speaking to.
If you don’t know their pains and problems, or goals and desires, and if you don’t know exactly what you’re going to offer none of the other stuff matters.
Follow what’s important next and do that one thing that’s going to move you forward.
Take action daily in your business.
If there’s one thing that I’ve done right, and trust me, I’ve done a whole bunch of stuff WRONG since I started building my business online…
But the one thing that I know I’ve done right, and you can do right, is take action every day.
So, to reiterate…
Take daily actionable steps
…and if you do, you’ll be in a drastically different place in 12-to-18 months and beyond.
I really, really hope you do, and I’m cheering you on.
