If You Give Up, A Kitten Cries…

O.K., the headline was supposed to make you laugh at first…But then give you one of the biggest ‘tips’ you will ever get in online business. Plain and simple, 99.9999999% of the people that come online, will give up! Yup, I’ve been in this business for 13 years plus and it’s the only constant thing that seems to happen…Year after year.

People come online, they either put in zero effort and blame the ‘gurus’…Or they come in, guns blazing, spend hundreds if not thousands on their first month…See zero profit after 37 days and then poof….Gone.

Here’s a little tip Justin Ledvina has been talking about a lot recently in TE Live…Once you get in line, stay in line!

Let’s look at this for a second and I’ll give you my example to show you how this has worked for a lot of people online but specifically, yours truly. Years ago, when I first started I was SCARED! I didn’t speak up in seminars, I wasn’t making any money and essentially I was the king of slot machine marketing, joining every ‘opportunity’ I could…

And even though I never made a penny, I still kept going. I found MPAM (for all you old school marketers) and was adopted by it’s community. I took part in the training, I took initiative and showed up everyday. I did the ‘fundamentals’ day in and day out for years…And did it pay off right away? Absolutely not!

But I stayed the course…

The owner, became so busy with his other endeavors that one of his web properties started to suffer and he decided it was time for one of the ‘dedicated’ people in his community to get a chance to shine…That person was me and the property was a little site called I Love Hits.

Case in point, because I showed up, everyday, did the work every day and was a part of the community…An opportunity presented itself.

I wasn’t looking for it, I wasn’t expecting it…I just knew I had to stick with it and not give up!

That’s my story LOL Hope you enjoyed it but more importantly….I hope you see that you can NEVER give up and make sure no matter what…You stay the course!

Oh No, Not Social Surfing…Again!

I saw something awesome a few days ago, and even though I chatted about it at TE Live and T3 this week, I thought a blog post should be in order. I took a picture of something that happened live in ILoveHits chat on Sunday and think it speaks to the power of social surfing like nothing I could ever try to explain…


ILH Social Surfing

Proof? That this stuff actually works! I think it’s an awesome display of not only social surfing at work but how Brenda Broyles has carved out a fantastic little niche within the traffic exchanges…How did she do it? She just cared more!

Brenda and dozens upon dozens of other savvy surfers, know that when you stick out in the surfing chats, offer support, give a helping hand and are visible…Good things happen.

How much did this cost Brenda and other social surfers?

Absolutely nothing but time and effort!

So what’s stopping you from getting loads of referrals, just by hanging out with other surfers?

This is just one technique that doesn’t cost a penny, yet so few are using it to their maximum potential. Remember, this business is about people first, numbers second. And when you put people first, in a live environment, not only will you get people ASKING you for referral links, you will also be branding your name as someone who cares.

Now ask yourself this…How powerful is that reputation when someone starts seeing your site in rotation as well?

Talk about a win-win!
