I did`nt know I could

I didn’t know I could do it

What do the gurus say about marketing on the Internet? Well they all have different ideas different ways of dealing with so many thousands of aspects. But every one agrees that you must put passion into what you do.

Failure is a dirty word. You have heard of people who have created something out of something so simple, yet it became a big seller. They were persistent and ignored setbacks. They were passionate they loved what they were doing. They had that desire to succeed.

Amway started with soap powder and a stain remover then went on to build an empire. Then when you have cultivated a desire in your customers half the battle is won. I said half the battle because you don`t sit back and relax at that point. You move on to greater thi

So grab a piece of paper and write down all your hobbies, it could be crosswords or puzzles, competitions, motorcycles, cars, even playing a musical instrument.

What about activities, you do in your spare time, like ballet, cooking, or even making something in wood or metal, can you do welding if you can`t go to college be taught. Can you play bowls, could you teach others? So why not get a movie camera and get a friend to make a movie of you actually teaching someone, and sell the end product.

I was talking to my son on the phone a couple of nights ago and as he works for a lift company he was asked to give a lecture to some business people. So he put together a lecture and gave quite a professional talk to a roomful of people who wanted to know about lifts in business.

When I asked him how much he had made, he said oh I gave it for free. I was flabbergasted. Hell Roger I said, you could have laid on a hall with coffee and charged a bundle for something like that. Business people are crying out for information about everything, and here you are giving it away. If you have a talent such as this, exploit it. Well I didn’t know I could do it, he replied. Oh well.

  • If you have a talent, harness it.
  • Being organised is a talent
  • Being able to decorate.
  • Being able to fix anything is.
  • Being able to send people to wonderful locations
  • Being able to organise an auction.
  • Organise a liquidation sale.
  • Notifying people where to find cheap goods to sell on Ebay
  • Showing people how to fish and how to cook what you have caught.
  • Teaching people how to drive.
  • Teaching people how to dance .

They are all talents and there are hundreds more, something to think about eh

Creating information-based products is a fantastic way to start a responsive problem solving way to make some money. When you have made your mind up about what you are going to do, the next step is selling, and this is a very important aspect of marketing. Don`t send out adverts willy-nilly like I did. Just like firing a shotgun into the wide blue yonder. Be selective. Find the hungry crowd looking for what you have to sell. I am told that you can start an optin list of such peple by offering a free product and when you receive there email address don`t take it for granted they want you to send them information, ask them to confirm their address. That way they have more or less given you permission to send them information. This way you avoid spamming, right?

Now that you have got the makings of a list, which is a must for marketers, treat them with respect; nurture them as you would a friend. So remember you are providing a solution to their problems and keep asking them what it is they want. have they got a problem? A sort of How to information service if you like, be it a manual, or a CD or DVD.

I have a lot of ideas so you can call me at jaguar34@hotmail.co.uk anytime as I also have a FREE ebook you can ask for.

Talk to you soon.
