How To Do A Magic Trick With A Pen
Well, like it or not, here it is:
The capability and willingness to write
Sometimes the most prominent things, after taught, are also the most obvious. Like in "5 Bucks a Day", the unavoidable things were set goals, make lists, focus, and enhance your income. Some complained that the teaching was too obvious. If that's so, why weren't they earning what others are?
I surmise those that complained were looking for the magic bullet, the trick that would be like a slap upside the head, something that nobody else had ever concept of, or a "black hat" technique that would deliver riches without effort.
Set goals? Make lists? Focus? That sounds too much like work or mumbo-jumbo to some. Hopefully not you. And too unavoidable to others. My goal has all the time been to boil down complicated strategies into the simplest steps, and in so doing, if it all sounds unavoidable in the end, so much the better.
If you're reading this, and obviously you are, I would say the odds are perfect that you have the capability to write. So, you're halfway there.
But are you willing to write? good yet, do you write? And if not, why not?
I'm not necessarily talking about writing a novel, even a book, even an e-Book, even a 15-page report. I'm not telling you not to, either. But we'll discuss more on all this later.
Let me tell you a bit about myself. As a young child, I was terribly shy, so much so that I can remember miniature else of my pre-school years, but I can remember my grandmother telling me that she was ashamed of me.
She was ashamed of me because I wasn't outgoing, loud and boisterous like her other grandchildren. As a matter of fact nearby children my age, I was all of that, but with grownups nearby I retreated into a shell.
Did her lecture inspire me? No, to the contrary, it terrified me. I lay awake nights. What was wrong with me? I knew I had things to say, but yet I was afraid to say them to grownups. I guess I was taught that "children should be seen and not heard" and I was the poster child for that motto.
What was I afraid of? Probably rejection. Probably like in school if you raise your hand to riposte a question, and your riposte is wrong, and the other kids laugh at you. That kind of rejection. Nothing terribly painful physically, but something that can haunt you psychologically the rest of your life if you let it.
It's something that a person might not even realize, but it might be causing that person to avoid communication of some exact type for years to come.
It's easier to just sit there in the classroom and let person give your answer, and you can smugly say to yourself "I knew that".
Unfortunately you're the only one that knows that you knew that, and your credibility, though it doesn't decrease so much, As a matter of fact doesn't increase.
So too on the Internet. But more about that later also.
To avoid immediate rejection as I started to grow, I took a fancy to writing instead of speaking, and by doing so, rejections were slower to come. When they did, I didn't care any more. At least the rejections weren't immediate.
I found as I grew older that I enjoyed writing letters to people. Even though when I talked to them on the phone, and they would say "what's new" I would reply "ah, nothing much", yet I could sit down 15 minutes later and write a 10 page letter to them.
This was before the Internet and email of course, and long before text messaging. Too bad, I would have flourished today.
I guess it was a good thing that my grandmother lectured me and drove me more to writing than to talking, that habit served me well later. The majority of communication on the Internet is done by writing, isn't it? Not by one on one speaking to someone.
But enough about my childhood.
Let me ask you: What's your popular form of communication? Verbal or written?
I'd like to encourage you to, as I did eventually, balance one with the other, the verbal communication with the written form. Why should you bother? The incentive is that your revenue will growth if you write more.
It's as simple and as unavoidable as that.
In fact, written communication is more prominent than verbal online. Very seldom is it valuable to talk to person verbally. Especially since the person you need to retell with may be in a far off country and asleep while your prime time hours.
Over the procedure of my years on the Internet, I've accumulated a list of my popular forums. Citizen are online 24/7 chatting, asking questions, answering, helping, and occasionally spouting off with nonsense.
You would think that these active forums with new posts being made constantly would be an indication that the capability to retell with the written word is alive and well.
Not so. In fact, in most forums, 80% or more of the members have never made a singular post. And 90% have made fewer than 3.
That's a shame.
I'll repeat it again. The capability (which 99.9% of computer users have) and the willingness (which 90% or more lack) to write is the key variation in the middle of success and failure with Internet marketing.
Where do you fall into this group? If you're in the 90%, you're typical, but I surmise your revenue could be higher. Even if you're in the 10% there's a good opportunity we can enhance it still more.
Would you like your revenue to be higher? The good news is that there is hope, and it can start today.
I'm not talking just about writing that killer sales letter that will make Citizen take out their reputation card and give you their money.
I'm not even talking about writing a 10 page or so record like this one.
I'm talking about beginning with simple things.
For example, how do you rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being scared to death, and 10 being proud of your ability, in performing the following tasks that want you to write:
1. Emails
2. Responding to forum posts that others have made
3. beginning new forum threads
4. Posting comments on other people's blogs
5. Setting up your own blog and posting regularly.
6. Writing articles for the purpose of getting publicity, links to your website, Bum marketing purposes, etc.
7. Writing press releases, or submitting articles to your local newspaper for publication
8. Writing short reports (5+ pages) for sale or to give away
9. Putting together an autoresponder series to send to Citizen who you've convinced to sign up to have you send them more facts about something
10. Sending promotional emails to Citizen that have signed up to receive them from you
11. Writing a sales page to promote your goods or service
12. Sending an email to person who doesn't know you, asking him or her to do a joint venture with you.
13. Writing faultless e-Books
14. Writing books for Pod (publish on demand), so that when person requests one, a hard copy version of your book will be printed and mailed to them
15. Writing books that can be sold on Amazon.com
16. Writing books that will show up on the shelves of your local bookstore, or in your local library
The additional you can go down that list before saying: "Whoa, not me!", the more comfortable you seem to be with your capability to write, and if you've reached step 6 or higher, you obviously have a willingness to write.
For the rest of you (at least), I would like to offer an additional one personal example.
For years, I too was a lurker in the forums. You wouldn't believe it now, since I administer a very active one. Back then (a whole year and a half ago as I write these words in 2007), I saw others that would write nonsense and get bashed. I saw others that would ask a quiz, and have some self appointed guardian of the forum tell him or her that the quiz, had been asked and answered 17 months ago, why didn't they know that?
I guess I was shy in the beginning there also.
But ultimately I got over my fear of posting. I joined a relatively new, at the time, membership site and started contributing. Since we were all new there, I felt comfortable.
As I contributed I learned from others and I like to think they learned from me also.
As I contributed, I industrialized friends. These were my forum friends and I'll talk about them in just a bit.
As I contributed, I industrialized confidence. I started to riposte questions others had, as well as requesting help for myself. In some topics I became a go to guy. Imagine that.
As I contributed, and as I industrialized confidence, I learned new skills which I industrialized and tweaked, and profited from.
As I industrialized my tweaks and started addition my income, I suddenly felt that I had ideas that I hadn't seen others teach before.
And with that, I decided to write a short record to give away, to use as an incentive for Citizen to join my email list.
Then a funny thing happened. I had forum friends whose opinions I trusted, and I felt able to call on them for guidance on my miniature report.
These were Citizen from all over the world. I had never spoken verbally to any of them a singular time. I had no idea what race they were or what religious trust they had. I didn't know if they were young or old, short or tall, thin or fat, singular or married, in fact in some cases I didn't know if they were male or female. None of that mattered. They were my forum friends.
The guidance from my forum friends astounded me. They told me I shouldn't give my record away, I should sell it.
Me? A writer? Writing something that others would pay to read? You're kidding me? At that point I realized that I had to upgrade my miniature report, it was one thing to give something away, a whole new level of responsibility came with selling it.
And so I wrote some more. And got more feedback from my friends. That was how I started writing for profit, and I've never looked back. My miniature record became an e-Book, and some thousand copies have been bought and paid for (that would be my 5 Bucks a Day book).
Imagine that. J
It all came out of a willingness to share my thoughts by writing a paragraph or a line here and there on a forum. By so doing, I was able to originate relationships with Citizen that have helped me attain more success in the last 9 months than I could have ever dreamed.
It sure pays to have forum friends, doesn't it?
Now, let's talk about you. Only you know where you stand as far as the list I wrote earlier. I hope you spent some time As a matter of fact evaluating your strengthen down that list. If not, do it now.
If you're willing to try to enhance your scores on each level, I can certify that your revenue will improve.
If you're at the lowest level, I encourage you to spend more time developing your email skills. Don't just read an email and trash it. Of procedure you'll trash the spam, but what if you get an email from a friend telling you that you're invited to a party after work. Do you have questions? Don't pick up the phone and chat, put your questions down in an email reply. Honestly. Yes, it will take longer than the phone call, but it will enhance your capability to retell with the written word.
So, Ok, send the email and if you don't get a reply in half an hour, pick up the phone. But you crafted a reply, wrote it, and sent it. Chalk up some experience.
Do you get emails from internet "gurus"? I'll bet you do, lots of them, right? Occasionally I'll have violent variation with something person sends me. Don't we all?
So what do you do? Unsubscribe and trash the email? What I do is put my feelings into words. I'll reply to the email. I'll tell the person what I think. I'll tell them why I think they're wrong. I give the guru the respect they deserve and point out my opinion.
Sometimes, I even get a reply. How about that? Even if I don't, if the guru reads his or her own mail, which isn't all the time the case, now they've heard of you. There's nothing wrong with that, in fact that's a good thing. If they don't reply, then don't take it personally, nothing ventured, nothing gained. But you did venture forth into uncharted territory and you never know what miracle could happen.
Here's an additional one thought. If you're an Internet marketer, there's a good opportunity that you are a member at the Warrior Forum. Most of the gurus are over there, some of them post oftentimes like Willie Crawford, Dr. Mani, and so on.
Some of them are less frequent contributors, but they do show up occasionally. I see John Reese, Marlon Sanders, Yanik Silver, and lots more.
So if you wanted to send them an email, and you didn't get a reply, what next? Well, I would give them the benefit of the doubt that your email got filtered out, or read and trashed by person who worked for them, and I'd send them a Pm (private message at the forum).
I'm not advocating spamming anyone. I'm advocating that if you have a personal message for George Guru that concerns something they sent to you, or that you think they would be personally concerned in, that you craft a well written message and send it to them as a Pm (private message) at the forum. It's very unlikely that they won't personally read it, I assure you. Pm's take on a whole different level of urgency, not to mention the fact that they'll perceive that you also belong to the same forum, therefore you have something in common.
But don't tell them I told you to do that. J
And above all, don't send the same Pm to every guru on the planet asking them to promote your new 10 page record that sells for to their list of 100,000 subscribers. It won't get done, I assure you.
Terrified by doing that? Then I've got real good news... You don't need to do that because if you keep reading, you'll find out that you don't need the "A-list" gurus anyway.
Because gently but As a matter of fact you're improving your writing skills, and gently but As a matter of fact you're developing more forum friends that collectively will be more prominent than any singular A-list guru. Really. Trust me on this. More later.
Then take the next step on the list after you're comfortable with emails and Pm's. And work on that.
Here's a tip I read somewhere that I like. It's boring but it's effective.
You're reading sales letters all the time online, right? Some make you drool and pull out your wallet. Then that's probably an efficient sales letter, so here's what you do.
First print it out. Then take out your pen and paper, and write it word for word. Yes, with pen or pencil. Not typing into a monitor. Sit down and write every singular word on the page. If it's one of those long sales pages, yes, it will take you hours, maybe days, to get it all written. Trust me, it's worth it. Just do it.
What this will do for you is embed into your subconscious some very efficient methods of written communication. You'll be building up your mental swipe file.
Do the above once or twice a week with different sales letters that you like, and soon you'll be a pro at writing them yourself.
Have you set up a blog yet? Millions have. Millions have also set up a blog, posted 3 times, realized that "if you build it they will come" was a movie, and nowhere in the movie was their blog mentioned.
Others have started blogs, written piquant and valuable information, stuck straight through it by posting day after day, week after week, month after month, learned their craft, and accumulated enough piquant posts to accumulate a large audience, get solid search motor rankings for some of their posts, and started earning a large revenue from just writing a few paragraphs a day.
Which one do you want to be? Joe that posts 3 times and gets bored. Or John that posts 365 times a year and makes 0,000?
I don't know which you answered, but I know what the variation in the middle of Joe and John's attempt is, and I know what the variation in the middle of Joe and John's revenue is, so therefore...
There's more to it than that, of course, but not that much more. Or at least nothing more prominent than the quantity of capability posts.
In fact, after some months of writing blog posts, and reading and replying to comments your readers have left you, you might have enough material for an eBook. Take it to the next level. Keep going down that list.
Following these steps, writing gets a whole lot easier. It starts with emails and forum posts and your skills at writing originate with each step.
You don't need to aspire to reach the final point, going on Oprah to flog your book.
But you could if you As a matter of fact wanted to.
I like to think that my writing skills have industrialized to the point where some Citizen like to read what I write. That's cool, it As a matter of fact is. That fact alone is responsible to a large amount of my revenue at this point. If I suggest something in an email or in a forum post, some Citizen will check out what I'm recommending. Very cool.
At this point in my career, I would say that my biggest and most treasured assets are my forum friends. If all else got wiped out, I could start again from scratch, as long as I had my forum friends and a way to sense them.
The odd thing is almost without exception, all my communication with my forum friends have been in writing. I've never met most of them, I've never spoken with all but a few of them. Yet I would say I have some hundred, or more, forum friends.
Amazing, isn't it?
Can I give some concrete examples where my own capability and willingness to write has helped me? Sure.
Example: I visit the Warrior Forum Wso (Warrior extra Offer) forum every day, some times most days. I probably buy as much or more than whatever there, I'm a sucker for a good sales letter. One thing I like to do is leave a sincere commentary after I've purchased something that I feel is good quality. This might just be a habit I industrialized from using eBay and their feedback principles for so many years, but for whatever surmise I just feel it's thorough to naturally say in as many words as it takes: Good job, I enjoyed your report, and here's why.
Over the months and years that I've been doing this, it's made me lots of forum friends. In fact some of these friends now regularly give me their products for no charge, just for an honest review. Without my asking.
Cool.
One of those friends gave me something with resell rights that I was going to purchase, he said no, just take it, use it, do whatever you want with it, you're a good customer. I'll make over ,000 this year from what came out of that purchase.
Very cool.
Will you make ,000 if you start writing more and originate some forum friends? Maybe not. I can't certify it, but I can certify you have a good opportunity my way than the other way.
Another example: Just recently I completed a transaction with a forum friend for a 5-figure purchase, I know the price I received was about a third of what he could have gotten elsewhere, but he was comfortable with me because of our relationship.
We negotiated this buy without direct sense except by Pm. All along I concept he was settled in England, but I found out late into the negotiation that he was As a matter of fact in Australia. It didn't matter whether way, but where else but on the Internet could this happen? Would he have sold to me below shop value if I wasn't a forum friend? No. Would I have bought from him if he wasn't a forum friend? No.
Another example: One of the members of one of my forums recently came onto hard times. He needed quick cash. He had something that he had written that he was selling sort of successfully.
My advice: Offer a discount and sell your book on the Warrior Forum Wso section. The problem? He was a member, but he hadn't paid his dues, he hadn't contributed to the main forum, so he was ineligible to post a Wso. Too bad. The members would have gotten a good goods at a good price, and this guy would have gotten some much needed cash.
A lost opportunity, not because he didn't have the capability to write (he obviously had that, because he had the e-Book), but he didn't take the time, he didn't have the willingness to write and originate forum friends at one of the top Internet marketing forums of all.
So, my biggest recommendation of all on how to get started on your journey to success with Internet marketing is this:
Don't be a forum "lurker" (not that there's whatever wrong with Citizen that lurk).
Those that lurk can still benefit and learn. Those that contribute will benefit, learn, originate relationships (forum friends), brand themselves, and be in a position to take their revenue to a whole new level.
Again, your forum friends, like mine, could be your greatest singular company asset.
I mentioned before that you might try sending a Pm to an Internet guru occasionally if the situation was right. But after a while you won't need to do that. In fact...
Once you start developing forum friends, you won't need the gurus. Think about the Hollywood celebrities. There are the A list celebs like, I don't know, Paris Hilton, Clint Eastwood, Madonna, Brad Pitt, etc.
Then there are the B list wannabes that are far more numerous, and far more accessible to the paparazzi, though fewer Citizen care.
Then there are the rest. Would you rather have a dozen close friends that you can hang out with, reach by phone or email anytime you want, replacement birthday gifts with, or would you like to sit at the table next to Paris Hilton for an hour while she ignores you? I know my preference.
The same goes for Internet marketing relationships. Over the last year or so I've industrialized a lot of friends on my level, and a combine on a level above. I don't want to be determined a guru, no matter what. That's not at all necessary.
Not that there's whatever wrong with John Reese and Jim Edwards and Marlon and Yanik and the others, I respect them tremendously, but I prefer networking on my own level. On my level I can expect to be able to send emails and Pm's and get immediate replies, and get things done, and additional originate a mutually beneficial relationship.
How do you start developing forum friends? You have to let them know you exist. They won't know you exist if you aren't writing what they're reading. It's as simple as that.
You have to be willing to help them. If person asks a quiz, in a forum post that you know the riposte to, raise your hand (figuratively) and riposte the question, whether it's an concept or a fact.
You will gently and As a matter of fact rise in stature among the others that spend time in that forum, and right on in the eyes of the person you helped. You'll never know who's watching, will you?
Before you can expect to receive, you need to give. Pay it forward. Be willing to give 100 times what you expect to receive, and in the end it's likely you'll receive 100 times what you give.
That's what developing the capability and willingness to write will do for you. I assure you it doesn't take long. There's nothing to be afraid of. It will enhance your income, sometimes drastically. Not overnight, but soon enough.
Yes, it is as simple and as unavoidable as responding clearly to emails, and to posting to forums. Take the next steps, make helpful blog comments. Start a blog. Write a short report. Write a sales letter for a resell rights goods you own.
The more you write, the easier it gets, the more comfortable you get with it, and the more you'll earn.
Develop this skill:
The capability and willingness to write
Your life, and your career, will never again be the same.
Add some zeroes.
Start it today. Just write it. Watch the seas part for you.
