Sometimes when working online you need to grab an image of something on your screen. It could be anything from a logo, to a screenshot or a short demo video for a team member. The problem is that grabbing that on-screen content isn’t always easy.
Let’s face it, taking a screen shot, copying it into an image editor, cropping and resizing the image, saving it, attaching it to an email… is just way too much work!
So, what’s the solution?
Video marketing is a phenomenal way to spread your message and network.
People love videos, search engines love videos, they are simply one of the best ways to drive traffic on today’s internet – if you know what you’re doing.
Putting your videos up on YouTube is a great start. It’s the most popular of the video sharing platforms and gets a lot of attention.
That doesn’t mean it is the only platform you want to use. There are literally dozens of other sites that you can use to share your content and increase the links and traffic to your site, but who has time to create accounts and submit the same content to dozens of sites at a time, over and over again?
You do….and we’ll explain how.
Communication is key.
Demonstration and collaboration are essential.
Sometimes it’s just easier to show someone what you mean instead of trying to explain it to them. Sometimes it’s more effective for you and the person you’re talking to to be looking at the same things at the same time. Unfortunately, it isn’t always easy for someone across the country, or halfway around the world, to look over your shoulder when you want to show them something.
Dimdim can change all of that.
Many network marketers find themselves needing some basic HTML skills. While it’s true that not every marketer needs to be able to build a website from scratch, things like creating links with anchor text, or displaying images are useful skills. Learning how to write these, and other basic formatting codes, can help a lot when [...]
One of the most essential aspects of network marketing is building your brand. Your brand is your voice. It’s your image. Its what comes into people’s minds when they see or hear your name. Your brand is what your audience will rally behind and follow.
Social media is a key component to branding yourself online. Sites like Twitter and Facebook are where people will discover you, but once they’ve found you, it’s important that they can get to know you. It’s vital that you have more to offer than your status updates.
That’s where having a blog comes in. A professional looking blog sends a clear message to your network of friends and prospects that you know what you are doing, and lets them learn as much as possible about you and what you do. A good blog turns those friends and prospects into customers and fans.
Deciding how to go about setting up your first blog is no easy task. Should you use a free option, like Blogger, or WordPress.com? Or is it worth the investment to set up a self-hosted blog? The answer is yes, it is definitely worth it, and when it comes to self-hosted blogging platforms, WordPress is hands down the best option we’ve found.
Recently, we discussed the four primary components of a goal in detail, so now let’s look at the importance they play in our future goal setting. The best way to do this is to build a goal, and investigate the negative effects of not including the various qualifiers we discussed last week. For our example, let’s start with:
“I’m going to visit the Grand Canyon.”
Great! We have an Action, a “what,” something we are going to do. That’s it though, that’s all we have. The reason goals are so useful is that they give people a reason to push themselves towards a particular accomplishment. The problem with a simple goal like this one is that it doesn’t have that “push.” There is nothing in this goal that drives a person towards achieving it.
When qualifiers are left out, they don’t go away, they just take on a state of being implied rather than defined. The goal, with its implied qualifiers actually reads:
Yesterday, we discussed the critical difference between how Millionaires and most other people approach the goals that they set. Today, we will look more closely at goals themselves, and how to structure, set and monitor them for optimum success.
The key point to successful goal attainment is never giving up on a single goal you set.
As silly as it seems the old adage “if at first you don’t succeed…” really rings true for successful people. When you don’t experience success in reaching a goal, you must continue to strive for it until you do.
Many people feel that this is impossible, because many people don’t understand the anatomy of a goal. Goals have a few different parts, or at least they should, and if you don’t take those different parts into consideration, you will very often feel that you have “failed.”
Let me offer an example. Let’s use a goal that an online marketer might set:
“I’m going to make ten sales by April 30th.”
This may seem like a very simple goal, but it is absolutely crucial that the person setting this goal recognize the different components that make up the anatomy of his or her goal and appreciate the significance of each. Let’s break down this goal into its different components, and investigate how to treat each one.
The components we will be discussing are:
Yesterday we discussed a few of the characteristics that make a person a Millionaire (and how it is those characteristics and not their net worth that make the difference). One of the most valuable pieces of the “Millionaire Puzzle” is how you handle your goals.
Think about the last time you set a goal for yourself. If you are having a hard time with this step, that may be one of your greatest obstacles.
Millionaires are goal setters.
They constantly evaluate where they are and where they are going. Notice I did not say where they want to be, but where they are going.
Let me ask you a question: the last goal you set for yourself, did you succeed or fail?
I am a Millionaire. Are you? You might or might not be, and if not, you can certainly become one.
I can even tell you how.
The first step is discovering whether or not you are, in fact, a Millionaire already. The answer lies not in your bank account, nor your net worth. The property you own, the car you drive, the watch on your wrist and the phone in your pocket has nothing to do with the determination of whether or not you are a Millionaire.
Being a Millionaire has nothing to do with money.
That’s right. Nothing whatsoever.
