Marketer of the Day with Robert Plank: Business Growth & Entrepreneur Stories

"The worst people to serve are the poor people. Give them free, they think it's a trap. Tell them it's a small investment, they'll say can't earn much. Tell them to come in big, they'll say no money. Tell them try new things, they'll say no experience. Tell them it's traditional business, they'll say hard to do. Tell them it's a new business model, they'll say it's MLM.Tell them to run a shop, the...

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future." -- Steve Jobs"A real decision is meausred by the fact that you've taken a new action.

"I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it. -- Bill Gates https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0zt2rI1Ih8 Remember Four Daily Tasks? No matter how crazy or "complicated" you try to make your productivity and time management, this is what always keeps me productive: 10 minute early morning, 40 minute morning, 40 minute early afternoon, 40 minute after...

Quote of the Week: "Even the sharpest of knives cannot cut if held the wrong way." -- Rachel Wolchin Catchphrase of the Week: "Don't hit the baseball, hit through the baseball." Some people on my Little League team even tried "throwing" the bat at the baseball to "save time getting on base." Guess how well that worked out? Thought of the Week: You need to have enough judgement to know when to be t...

Ever wonder what those successful internet marketers do all day? Probably less than you, and that's why they make more money.

Let's talk today about "business card" books to build your business. You should get your best ideas down, and re-use (even sometimes repeating yourself) your best content, especially in the form of digital and physical books. Amazon lets you publish an unlimited number books, so you might as well make the most of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPXoMpIKty8 Marketer of the Week: Jeff Mills (be...

Catchphrase of the Week: See a movie or go to the park. Quote of the Week: "The number one reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go, instead of how far they have gotten." - UnknownMarketer of the Week: Gary Ambrose (show someone how to "make a million dollars in five minutes" -- his membership hosting platform includes pre-made membership cont...

Question of the Week: what's your hook?

Let's talk about "The Grid" you'll have in your membership site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7NKIDo9IWw What if you taught weight loss? Give me a 5x5 table (or dashboard) where I can choose the meal plan I want to lose weight. Hypnosis membership site?

If you feel like there are holes in your internet marketing knowledge, that maybe you're trying to learn college calculus but can't add two plus two, then this is the podcast episode for you! Many marketers are obsessed with split testing, funnels, and setting up 1-click upsells, but they don't even have a buy button on a sales page. Can I walk you through what I tell someone if they're struggling...

Maybe you're bored in your internet business right now because there's no real risk, challenge, or excitement in your business? This especially happens if you fall into the trap of "lying" because nothing is real. Let's get you creative so you can think your way out of your current predicament (even if that problem is boredom)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygcS5yJln24 Creativity doesn't only...

Tune into today's program to uncover the tried and true techniques (16 total) to keep yourself motivated, focused, out of the procrastination zoned and focused on getting it all done and achieving that goal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQtyAuzjTMU Our marketer of the week is Jim Edwards from TheNetRep...

New Year's Resolutions don't "work" and a "New Month's Accomplishment" is what you need instead. Let me explain... New Year's "resolutions" are silly for a few reasons... They usually aren't S.M.A.R.T. goals (specific, measurable, achievable, results-oriented, and time-bound). SMART goals are pretty self explanatory but let me lay it out so there's no confusion: when you set out to do something, m...

I'm finally starting to get it. The newbie mindset (or clarity mindset). Your training should "lean" towards the newbies and making a sense of the mess, with some how-to thrown in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7Gn8PfB6Mw If you don't have a blog, YouTube channel, an affiliate program, and lots of free content or search results where people can find you, then that's yet one more tool that your...

What ways is your marketing talking you OUT of a sale? Some ways are ok: being true to your personality, because you're polarizing -- repelling some and attracting others. You don't have to apologze, and I'll explain why! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGBDZu8K5L4 But if you repel the "serious buyers" and only attract the "tire-kickers" -- that hurts you long term. What's your goal? Our marketer...

I'm going to get really personal today and talk about times I've screwed up... Marketer of the week: Stu McLaren from stu.me and Wishlist Member. Rather than share a "breakthrough" I picked up from Stu, I want to tell you that when I present (a webinar or podcast), I imitate his speaking style. When you speak, speak deliberately! Especially if you're an American and your natural tendency is to slu...

The only way you're going to make any kind of consistent progress is to break it up into milestones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80chwIYb-LY The expert in anything was once a beginner. Wise Words... The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. -- Winston Churchill When people say mean things about you, it's a reflection on themselve...

Internet marketer of the week: Big Jason Henderson from BetterPostureGuaranteed.com BigMarketingOnline.com. My big breakthrough from him: a membership site doesn't have to be a recurring forever monthly payment. You can create a single payment, or even better, a fixed term site, instead of that old and tired download page, using Member Genius. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m6SuH5B5fA Things Ang...

Are you annoyed that an Internet marketer is marketing to you? Instead of looking at other marketers as people who are "serving" you as a consumer, why don't you look at what successful things they repeatedly do, like consistent products, blogging, and webinars? And model what they do! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjw526PatBY Marketer of the Week: Dennis Becker Dennis wrote the book from 5Bucks...

Internet marketer of the week: Ray Edwards. Creator of the Rapid Writing Method. He absorbs what Brendon Burchard, Michael Hyatt, Dave Ramsey all do very well -- branding and unification. A huge breakthrough I got out of his "Writing Riches" book was that just taught straightforward copywriting. Not a lot of silly stories or parables mixed in like others teach you "should" have in a book. What a c...

We recently launched our Website Remote service. It allows you to centrally manage and update your WordPress sites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxtxHkMHxc0 We created it because there was no good way to manage all our WordPress sites from one location. The other solutions that "tried" to do it, sucked! Solve a real problem. It doesn't matter if "a" solution already exists. It probably sucks. Y...

Are you scared? What if you became more aware of what made you anxious, scared, or nervous? Could you dissect those into smaller pieces? If you did, you'd be able to change and improve those small, manageable pieces... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzAxvD3KwRE What if I asked you to write down a page of words to describe a "bad mood" such as: flustered, dejected, beat-down?
