7 Signs You're On Track To Succeed Online In 2021

Some attribute the quote "success leaves clues" to Jim Rohn and some attribute it to Tony Robbins, but whoever said it, is dead on point. Indeed, success leaves clues.

Check out any "overnight success" and you'll discover the person had been toiling in obscurity for years before he or she became an overnight success.

Radio, TV and assorted media will be all over the place "celebrating the person's "Great Success". No one bothered when the person was going hungry, driving a battered car and wearing hand-me-down clothes.

So the three thought-provoking questions I want to ask you are:

    a) How many paid courses have you registered for in the past three years?

    b) How many relevant books have you invested in?

    c) How many gurus have you reached out to?

Yes, success leaves clues. Success will not fall on your lap from above. You must ardently search and go for it. If you do you'll become an overnight success and the media will roll out their drums to celebrate your success.

To increase your chances of success, narrow your focus and set your sights single-mindedly on how to make it online because that's the way the world is going and there is no going back.

The biggest and richest companies on earth are all online businesses; not in any particular order Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft.

While it used to take companies close to hundred years to become "Multinational Corporations" with operations spanning the globe, almost all the above "digital companies" became global behemoths within 10 to 20 years.

Not only companies, but individuals are making it big online. Bloggers and information product marketers like Jon Morrow, Brian Clark, Darren Rowse, Brendon Burchard, Russell Brunson, Amy Porterfield, and Neil Patel, to name just seven, all built their eight-figure empires within a few years of striking out online.

It doesn't matter whether you're into E-Commerce, Information Marketing, Blogging, Affiliate Marketing or any combination of online businesses, the key to online success is "CONSISTENCY" and following your clearly defined strategy rather than being an opportunistic profit seeker.

Here are the seven signs you're on track to succeed online. Not in any particular order:

1. You've drawn up your "CUSTOMER AVATAR" so you're quite clear who you want to serve. Your customer avatar is the mirror image of the dream customer you'd like to serve. As you know, all customers are not born equal so being very clear on the type of customer you wish to serve puts you miles ahead of the competition. Knowing your customer avatar enables you to build a profitable "MAILING LIST". With your mailing list in place you're on a fast track to online success.

2. You've built your "DREAM 100" online influencers list and reaching out to them. Online Influencers, Experts, and Gurus make things happen online. They've figured out what works and are building and scaling their eight-figure empires. Following, learning from, and modeling their success are the shortest and fastest ways to build your own seven-figure empire to start with without reinventing the wheel.

3. You've chosen the "THREE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS" you wish to concentrate your effort on and posting consistently. New social media platforms are born nearly daily but to succeed, you must select just three based on your own objectives not on the popularity of the media. Anything more than three will spread you too thin and render you ineffective. Whether you choose any three of Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, Periscope, etc., must align with your strategy.

4. You're daily building your "CREDIBILITY AND GRAVITAS". As the Bible says, "By their fruits you'll know them." You know that people will only follow you if you have credibility and gravitas. One of the biggest credibility boosters is having a New York Times best-selling book to your name. Making it big online as you already know is not a walk through the park so day and night take steps to reinforce your credibility and gravitas.

5. You're working quietly and with full concentration on your "LEAD MAGNETS", LANDING PAGES" and "IRRESISTIBLE OFFERS". These three: lead magnets, landing pages and irresistible offers: set the stage for you to start collecting leads, converting them into subscribers, showing them the stuff you're made of and making them offers they can't do without.

6. You're learning to craft "SALES LETTERS" with great Hooks, Stories and Offers. No matter how beautiful your product, no matter how stellar your credibility, and no matter how popular you're on social media, it's your sales letters that convert subscribers into paying customers sending cash to your bank account. Learning to craft effective sales letters and pitching the right audience put you in the league of winners.

7. You're learning how to create "IRRESISTIBLE PRODUCTS" that change your dream customers' lives. As every entrepreneur knows, whether online or offline, and more so online, where you're dealing with customers sometimes six time zones away, you're in the business of transforming lives. Simply put, you're in the transformation business. The better you're able to transform people's lives, the bigger your bank account will grow. What makes transformation happen are the great products you create. Products come last in the series because you have to tailor exactly to your dream customer's identified need.

The above seven signs separate those who are on track to succeed from those who aren't.

To summarize, you've created your customer avatar, you've selected your dream 100 online influencers, you've selected the three social media platforms you wish to be king, you're burnishing your credibility and gravitas day and night, your lead magnets, landing pages, irresistible offers, and sales letters are selling your irresistible products round the clock.

To accelerate your success, you're not only making irresistible offers, you're building offer-stacks as tall as Mount Kilimanjaro and placing order bumps strategically throughout your value ladder and sales funnel. These advanced online strategies can 10X your success rate. But first you must understand the basics by being humble enough to learn.

If you're doing any three of the above you're on track to not only succeed, but succeed massively online. If you're not, retrace your steps and refocus. Narrow your focus and concentrate on the few things that will bring you success in the shortest possible time. Just keep learning and suddenly you'll reach a tipping point where everything falls into place sending you to the stratosphere of success just like the online gurus I've mentioned in this article.

Psychology's Marketing Secrets & 55+ Niche Market Ideas From Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs!

Brilliant in-depth video from Miles Beckler about Maslow's hierarchy of needs and how it relates to choosing your niche. Lots of amazing ideas and golden nuggets in there. :)

Affiliate Marketing Strategy - What Are The Basics For Making Money In Affiliate Marketing?

One of the best ways to have an income from affiliate marketing is to choose a niche with which you are familiar with it is very well understood. One of the key factors which contribute to earning income online is knowing what you are selling.

A niche within a niche is very helpful. If you know almost anything about the product, you will be able to market it. One of my favourite ways to market is to create articles and submit them to big blogging directories.

Once I have a niche within a niche, I'll make sure I have good keyword research tools and make sure I have very good content. I'll make sure that I have some of my own affiliate links sprinkled in some of my posts to increase my page rank and to increase my site traffic.

This is an ongoing task. The best place to keep track of all of your efforts and your website traffic in one place is with a squeeze page. This is a page where you have to collect names and emails and submit to a growing list of websites as well as having a opt-in mailing list for any products you may have coming out in the future.

When you have your web and mailing lists you have all the traffic, contacts, and websites you could ever want. You can go from niche to niche as you please and not have to worry about being away from your computer for very long.

The above is what I use for a general affiliate marketing strategy. The more specific the niche is, the harder it is to make money. One of the best ways for this is through using free resources to learn. For example if the niche is health, you want to learn about the best diet and supplements and you want to become an expert in this area. This is something that you cannot do if you're not researching yourself. This will take a lot of your time and be hard work but the returns will be much higher than if you were free to choose any affiliate program and were going to promote it as you like.

* Getting in touch with the product owner.

"Getting in touch with the product owner" is the second method listed in the above paragraph. The reason I call it "Getting in touch with the product owner" is because you have to go through some hoops with the product owner. If you're smart, you'll have an email list, and a website of your own with a very good opt in list. If you have to create an email autoresponder, then you're better off with the email autoresponder of your own because you can get more emails out to your list faster and it will only take a few minutes to have a great list. If your not smart you won't have the time to create a great email autoresponder of your own.

The third method for the affiliate marketing strategy is to write articles and submit them to the top article directories. For most niches this will take a lot of your time, however if your niche is very broad like "weight loss" then this is a very easy way to make money.

The fourth method is to write blogs on the topic of your niche. A blog is more of a diary that you post your views and comments on all kinds of topics.

The fifth method and final method is to get your site indexed in the search engines. This is the hardest method for most people. There are different strategies for doing so.

* Article marketing. This is the easiest method for most people. This is because you write up a blog or a mini site on your topic and add your articles there and if Google or Yahoo sees that they will index it and give it good ranking. This is the most effective way though out any niche.

The methods above are the basic ones that you need to be smart with. As you can see the affiliate marketing strategy is actually very easy. It's not hard for most people but it does demand a decent effort from you.

If you follow these 3 strategies plus create your own affiliate website then you should make a decent return on your investment.

How To Identify Target Market | Target Market Examples

Great tips on how to identify your target market by Adam Erhart:

What Creates a Successful Ad For Your Customer Avatar?

Did you know that the worst mistake you can make as a small business owner is to create ads like you are a Pepsi or Toyota Corporation? That's right; many owners believe that to have a successful ad campaign they have to do what the big boys do. In truth, it does not take all the flashy, creativity and expense of a huge corporation to be successful. In reality, you will definitely go broke and be out of business in no time flat if you did that.

The most important item to consider when writing your ad is to know exactly what it is you are selling. Your job is to know your product or service so well, that your sales copy pushes your avatar's hot button hard enough that the avatar has no choice but to respond to that ad or letter. This means that you really need to know the difference between the benefits and features of your product or service

For a Successful Ad - Know the Benefits and Features

A lot of people think a feature is a benefit. But a feature is not even close to what a benefit is. A benefit is what the feature does for me, as a customer. Let's say we're buying one of the many weight loss products out there. Okay, a feature is, it is going to help me lose weight.

Now, your avatar is asking, "What do I get out of the deal?" What I get is the mental and physical joy of having more energy to play with the kids, being able to fit in my wedding dress and wear skinny jeans, being able to walk without hurting, and for people to stop calling me fatty. That's the benefits of the feature. Benefits should always come first. You want to emphasize the benefits because the real thing you are selling is not your product or service, it is EMOTIONS. You are selling the pain, agony, or even greed that people are going through.

For a Successful Ad - Know your Customer Avatar

Successful ads for the small business owner should be targeted to your customer AVATAR. So let's define and shape your AVATAR. Take out a sheet of paper and create your target.

Give your customer avatar a name.

Next, decide if they are male/female/both.

• How old are they?
• Where do they live? (Go to Google Trends and put in your search term for your product or service, then choose a location)
• What is their annual salary? Determine if they are rich, middle class, poor or somewhere in between. What demographics can easily afford and benefit from your product or service?
• What are your customer avatar hobbies and interests?
• Are they introverted or extraverted?
• Emotional or logical?
• Generally happy or generally sad?
• Single or married?
• Children or no children?
• Are they blue-collar or white-collar workers?

Once you know your niche, your targeted group of people, then it is easier to gear your marketing and advertising toward them specifically. Yes, everybody may be able to benefit and use your product or service, but you can't market to the entire world as a small business owner. Now that you have some insight into your customer avatar you can target your postcards, classifieds, sales letters and other marketing to them directly.

Remember, you are not selling your product or service; you are selling emotions. You are the solution to their problems. You have what they need to lose the weight, to stop the pain, to get out of debt, to stop the FEAR.

Avatar Marketing

There is a reason that some marketers excel, while others struggle. Some people believe that the most important aspect of building your business is the size of your list. If that were the case, spammers would be the richest people in the world. So, why aren't they?

It is not just how many people you have on your list that determines how much money you make. If you have 100,000 people on your list, but none of them are at all interested in your product or service, then what good is that list? You would be better off having a list of 10 people that are interested in what you are offering.

What is Avatar Marketing?
Avatar Marketing is when you create a specific avatar or ideal customer/business partner, and you gear your marketing towards attracting that specific type of person.

An Example: You are selling a fitness product for people that want to lose weight. Who are you going to market towards? Would it be personal trainers or house moms? Athletes or people with diabetes? You are going to market to the ones that are going to be looking to lose weight, not the ones that are already in shape.

Creating the ideal Avatar to market to.

Things to consider:
Who would use your products/services - Think about who would actually be looking to purchase your product or service.
Where would they be looking? You want to make sure that your business is where people are going to find it.
Income - Are you marketing to people that are likely to buy your product. It is one thing if you are marketing a $20 product. If you are marketing a higher end product, such as a multi thousand product product, you need to make sure that you are marketing to people that are going to be able to afford the product.

For Avatar Marketing to been done properly, take the time to actually write up who your avatar is.

Who is your ideal customer?
Where are they going to be looking for you?
Are you marketing to people who can afford your product or service?

When you can answer yes to all three of those questions, then you are on the right track.

Put yourself in the customer's shoes. Pretend that you are looking for your product or service. Where would you go to look for it? Why are you looking for it? This is Avatar Marketing!
