You will be unable to boost your conversion until you track your campaigns. To test and track your campaign, you need understand the idea. You need to track your programs and tactics, messages, contact frequency and spending levels to optimize your marketing strategy. Otherwise you are doing HOPE MARKETING and hoping it will work! Numbers tell you if it is or it is not.

Testing and tracking can increase your ROI.

By tracking your campaigns, you will be able to know which campaign bring more traffic toward your website. You can also know from where your visitors are coming to your website such as advertisement, Search engine optimization, social media, blogs etc. By adding tracking code on every page of your website, you can get to know the page visits of visitors that don't converted into your subscribers.

Mainly you need to track for optimizing your campaign, your results.

Number of MQLs (marketing qualified leads): Remember the quotes the money is in the list, you need to add quality leads in your list and eliminate bad leads from it.

Cost per MQL (marketing qualified leads): if you using list building for your marketing campaign. Be sure you are maximizing your leads and minimizing the cost per qualified leads. If you have a list of unqualified leads or not good leads, the size of that list is irrelevant. You can have a HUGE list that costs you money and does not make you a dime. It is worthless.

Cost per Sales or Accepted Opportunity: Examine all of the money spent and the resulting sales or accepted opportunity very carefully over a defined time period.

Debunking Myths: Unlock the Potential of Membership Sites

Membership Sites and the Myths Behind Them

Right now, the buzz is all about membership sites and programs, shining as a beacon for entrepreneurs seeking lucrative revenue streams. Yet, amidst this excitement, persistent myths cloud the true potential of this strategy, potentially holding you back from unlocking a significant income source.

Membership Site Myth #1:

Let's bust a common myth: the notion that you must be a seasoned expert in your membership site's focus area. This couldn't be further from the truth. Imagine leveraging expertly crafted books, workbooks, checklists, videos and webinars created by others to enrich your site, without the pressure of being the expert yourself. (Of course, you often need to have permission or license to use many materials. So be sure that you check on that first!!)

Membership Site Myth # 2:

Another myth that needs dispelling is the idea of endless content creation. The reality is, membership sites often thrive on a fixed-term model, offering a structured course with a clear start and end. This approach means your content, once created, serves many cycles of members with minimal updates needed, making it an efficient and popular choice.

Membership Site Myth # 3:

And then there's the fear of "too much content" causing paralysis. The truth is, a successful membership site balances quality and quantity perfectly, catering to your audience's needs without the pressure of perfectionism or the myth of endless content creation.

Membership Site Reality:

Membership sites do require effort, like any venture, but the beauty lies in their potential to generate a steady income stream with minimal ongoing work. It's time to cast aside these myths and embrace the opportunity.

Embark on your journey with our Club Building course, designed to guide you through the process of creating, launching, and growing a successful membership site. Say goodbye to myths and hello to a rewarding membership model that works for you.

Join us and unlock the door to recurring revenue and the freedom it brings. Let's get started!

Building Your Marketing System

Why do you want and need a marketing system?

When you build a marketing system that is YOURS, you KNOW that you have a way to increase your revenue easily and predictably.

A marketing system consistently:

- Brings new and qualified leads (future buyers) into your business

- Has a system for follow up and nurturing that helps YOU connect with your new leads and build the "know, like, trust" relationship

- Uses calls to action wisely to bring people into your customer base.

- Provides customer service that builds loyalty and repeat business.

- Works easily and reliably so that you know what to expect for your growth each week or month.

- Is trackable so that you can improve it when it is not working as well as you want or need it to.

So what does this really mean? Isn't all marketing the same?

There are definitely marketing concepts that work across businesses and industries that you should be implementing in your business. But they can look different for different companies.

For instance, if you are a local boutique you need local traffic into your store. Can the Internet or social media help with that? Definitely. But you also need signage on your storefront, local ads with calls to action.

The biggest mistake I see is that people focus on getting buyers and that doesn't work in a lot of industries. And the mistake is that they don't get the person's information or capture the lead! They have no way to follow up or continuing to build the relationship. The interaction is over.

This happens over and over. A business owner runs an ad -- sending the lead to their BUY NOW button and they don't buy, they bounce! But what if was a different call to action -- an optin where the first step was a really valuable item at a low cost or no cost. Then you have the opportunity to continue marketing and building the "know, like, trust."

So, whether you are a local shop or an online business -- lead capture is key. It has to be a part of your marketing system!!

Lead capture or optins are different from followers or connections. When you build your email list -- it is YOURS. When you have followers or connections or friends on a social media platform, they can definitely become buyers but they can also be taken away by the platform without your control. Moving people over to your email list is key.

What are the pieces of the marketing system?

- Being clear on your target market -- who are you marketing to?

- Lead capture -- having a way of capturing the information when someone connects with you.

- Follow-up - they say the money is in the follow-up and so many miss this opportunity to continue connecting.

- Presenting valuable offers -- when you have done a good job of connecting with your target market, your service should be valuable to them. Building good offers that provide a ton of value are the offers that people will be interested in.

- Loyalty -- everything you are doing up to this step is geared to help you in building loyalty. If you don't have a good follow up system, you will lose customers and they won't come back, because you are not telling them what you have to offer to them.

When you build YOUR system, you have the ability to predict your results. You can turn it on and off. Or up and down based on what you can handle.

When you have a working sales and marketing system -- you can look at HOW to scale your business!! That's exciting! Not everyone is doing that, because not everyone is building a system for their sales and marketing. If there is only one system that you are going to build in your business -- this is the one!!

5 Warning Signs That Your Project is Going to Be Derailed

Make Sure Your Project Does Not Get Derailed

When we get derailed or experience a major setback or failure, it always takes us by surprise. Sure, the going was a little rough but we just didn't see it coming. At least, that's what we think.

Getting derailed is serious. It could mean having to start all over again or worse, ditch a project altogether. It’s one of the main causes of not finishing what we start and if this happens often enough, our whole life course can be impacted.

But you can avoid derailment by being alert to the warning signs. That's right, a derailment shouldn’t come as a surprise because there are always red flags that indicate you're heading for big trouble.

Here are 5 key warning signs to be on the lookout for:

You're procrastinating too much

If you're constantly procrastinating rather than acting, it's a sure sign that something's wrong. Your loss of motivation causes you to procrastinate and this could be due to many reasons.

It's your job to quickly find out what they are.

Usually, a quick review of your goals and timeframes to ensure that they're realistic can resolve the issue. Make any modifications you need to, roll up your sleeves and get to work!

Take a look back at your vision. What are you building, why are you building it?? Vision can often get us back on track. If you don't have a vision, (the Vision Board Project is a great resource!!) it may be time to do some visioning. Write it down, make an image for it, revisit it every day. Vision can help re-inspire you and motivate you out of procrastination!

Work has to be redone

When work results are poor and have to be redone (whether you're responsible or others are to blame), this is a big red flag. It means you could be headed for that one big, irrevocable error that could completely derail you.

Usually, the reason is poor communication of task requirements or poor skills. Pinpoint what the problem is and take quick measures to fix it, and closely monitor work outcomes.

You're falling back on deadlines

Whether you're working to your own deadlines or have an assigned one, it doesn’t matter. Consistently falling behind is the biggest motivation-zapper of all. It could simply be due to unrealistic deadlines or goals, and these should be modified. Of course, if the goals are NOT unrealistic then modifying them is not the answer -- accountability and follow through may be needed.

It's important to assess what could be going on. Pinpointing the problem will allow you to quickly get back on track with your deadlines.

You lack motivation

The loss of motivation means mediocre or poor work outcomes, or even finding an excuse to quit altogether. Reflect on why you find the work at hand boring or frustrating.

Sometimes, injecting some enjoyment into a task or project can reignite your motivation. You can do this by mixing up your routine, changing your surroundings and finding new and creative ways to do things. Setting up a reward for work done each day and a bigger reward for the complete project. We do this in Accountability Coaching with daily rewards and bigger rewards.

You're making excuses to quit

When things get difficult, it's easy to find a dozen excuses for quitting – and having to admit defeat and failure is the worst kind of derailment because it destroys your self-confidence and self-discipline.

Learning to see obstacles as exciting challenges that you're totally capable of overcoming will kill your thoughts about quitting and keep you fired up. Shifting your mindset to seeing these as challenges puts you in a better place to finish what you start and overcome the challenges.

Stay Alert

Don't let derailment take you by surprise again and empower yourself to finish what you start with success and outstanding results. Stay alert to these 5 signs that you're getting derailed.

Recognizing the signs of derailment early on and addressing them can effectively keep you moving forward with your project.

Why List Building – A brief Introduction

Harnessing the power of list building in your marketing strategy is akin to discovering an untapped well of potential for your business. Ignoring this approach essentially means you're overlooking a wealth of opportunity—like leaving money unclaimed. It's commonly said, "The Money Is in the List," and there's profound truth in this. Engaging with your audience to cultivate a robust list is paramount.

List building is more than a tactic!

It's a cornerstone strategy that enhances your presence within your niche, spreading your message far and wide. By gathering crucial contact details from your visitors, you're not just collecting data; you're nurturing future relationships that could convert into loyal customers.

The essence of list building...

...lies in its ability to forge a list teeming with engaged subscribers, setting the stage for sustainable revenue growth. This strategy isn't just about expansion; it's about deepening connections, enhancing your brand's footprint, driving quality leads, and fostering trust and reliability.

Understanding the Importance of List Building

List building isn't just beneficial; it's crucial across the spectrum of business sizes and types, from nimble startups to established enterprises, spanning both B2B and B2C domains. Whether you're in e-commerce, healthcare, or any other sector, the value of a well-maintained list is universal.

A dynamic list is a treasure trove for businesses and marketers alike, prompting a continuous quest for innovative ways to keep visitors engaged. Offering value through free resources like reports, guides, and tutorials is a proven method to captivate potential customers.

In crafting your marketing mosaic, list building should be a centerpiece, complemented by a blend of strategies including content marketing, SEO, social media, and beyond. The goal is a holistic approach where list building synergizes with other tactics to achieve your objectives.

Engagement is key; maintaining a dialogue with those who show interest in your offerings is crucial. By consistently addressing their needs and interests, you guide them closer to realizing the value your products or services hold for them.

The Advantages of Building Your List:

- Enjoy a steady stream of traffic independent of advertising or search engines.

- Amplify your lead generation efforts.

- Enhance conversion rates and bolster your ROI.

- Increase the likelihood of closing deals.

- Cultivate trust, encouraging repeat visits and loyalty.

Remember, every lead holds potential value for as long as they remain subscribed. The larger and more nurtured your list, the greater your opportunities for successful conversions. Keep the momentum of lead generation going and watch your list—and business—flourish.

5 Benefits of Empowering Employees

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

- 4. Empowering employees is good for morale.

- 5. Increased staff satisfaction

Empowering employees can have multiple positive benefits to the workplace.

1. Free Up Management Time:

Employees can take the lead on projects and tasks and free up the manager or leader to do other things.  The leader often has the responsibility of growing the company. When they tie themselves up in the day to day operations they remove themselves from this important task.

2. Company Growth

Growing the company, getting out and acquiring new projects, new clients and visioning greater success are all part of being the CEO or leader.  Employees can take on the day to day operations of organizations.

4. Empowering employees is good for morale.

When managers have to control every aspect of an employee’s work it is demoralizing to the employee.  When staff make suggestions or put forth ideas and they are never accepted or considered, or have to be the idea of the manger or leader, then employees stop making suggestions.  Staff do not work for pay alone.

5. Increased staff satisfaction

Work conditions play a major role in staff satisfaction and performance.  When staff are in a situation where they have little control, are not acknowledged for their work or ideas then their performance suffers.  The results for the team or the company are negative.  Turn-over increases and the costs to organization are impacted.

Empowering means giving up some control, but does not mean that the organization runs wild. Staff have great ideas.  It is gold.  They see ways to improve operations, get things done faster, easier for less cost.  The misconception of the micro manager is that only they care about the company.  When true leaders share their vision and passion for the company, employees can embrace that vision and passion as well. When that leader then empowers the employees to do great work, results can soar.

As the leader or CEO you can set up communication systems that empower employees and at the same time keep you informed and in the loop.  But you do need to follow through and let employees make decisions and not take back all control when you are informed of staff decisions.

Empowering instead of micro managing will result in better organizational results and free you, the leader up to further grow the organization.

When you develop an environment that coaches staff, then you are meeting with your staff consistently and regularly.  Your staff have specific goals that they are working on and reporting on and you are both tracking what the results are. That environment looks forward towards the company vision and strategic plan so that everyone is working in the same direction for the growth of the organization. This shift not only empowers staff but also empowers you as the leader to be the leader and focus on growth.

Rewarding Self-Discipline and Delayed Gratification

Setting up milestones for reaching your goals is important if you want to succeed. Equally important is setting up a reward system that allows you to enjoy and celebrate each milestone you've fulfilled.

But what kind of reward should you give yourself? Should you go out and buy the latest 1,000 iPhone? Or would you settle for self-praise and a pat on the back for a job well done?

The right reward for your hard work

Choosing the right reward is important if you don't want all your hard work to go to waste. If you've worked hard, and succeeded, in losing 10 pounds over 2 months, then you don't want to reward yourself by going to an all-you-can-eat restaurant.

In fact, your self-discipline will dictate you to stay away from places that will encourage you to eat more than what's good and healthy for you.

Instead, you can reward yourself by buying a slice of chocolate cake just to get that sugar craving out of the way or you can choose to buy exercise equipment that will help you lose even more weight.

Achieve more with delayed gratification

When you've achieved a certain milestone, you might want to consider adopting a delayed gratification system. Instead of immediately rewarding yourself, try extending your reward to the next milestone. This is called delayed gratification.

For example, if you're trying to lose weight and you've set every pound lost as a milestone, then you might want to consider making it 2 pounds instead. This means that when you've lost the first pound, you'll be pushing yourself to lose the second pound quickly so you can finally get your reward (and no, you still shouldn't reward yourself with an outing at your favorite buffet restaurant).

Delaying gratification is a great exercise to push yourself to do even more. Your self-control and self-discipline will come into play and allow you to focus on completing more tasks so you can finally reward yourself. You just need to egg yourself on, encourage yourself to put one foot in front of the other because your destination is right around the corner.

Lastly, its important to point that when practicing delayed gratification, you must have a punishment in place as well. So this means if you don't achieve the milestone you've set for yourself, then you don't get any reward. Its really that simple. However, if you're disciplined and committed, then you'll do everything in your power to achieve your milestones and get your reward.

What reward will you choose? Leave a comment below!!

Top 10 Ways to Promote Any Membership Program

You can build the best membership program in the world but if you don't promote it, you won't make any money from your incredible program and your best laid plans. Use the following tips to keep the traffic flowing to your website and your income growing by leaps and bounds.

No matter what type of membership program you have, you'll be sure to find some inspiration and ideas in these tips.

1. Podcasting

Be a podcast guest with a podcast that is focused on your niche. So, in the B2B space, you need to identify the podcasters that are NOT your direct competitors but rather complimentary businesses. That means they serve your target customer with a different product or service and they will be glad to have your expertise on their podcast.

2. Affiliates

When you're running a membership program, affiliates can be your best allies in getting new members. An affiliate program that pays well and that offers affiliates tools like articles, solo ads and e-mail messages will attract top affiliates and bring you new customers. Register your membership site with Affiliate Sites such as Clickbank to reach a wide pool of affiliates. If you have built your membership on some member platforms, they have built in affiliate pools that you may be able to tap into.

3. JV Partners

Unlike affiliates, JV partners is a more collaborative and intimate relationship. JV Partners work more closely together and they may get a special level of commission by promoting your membership program. They'll run special promotions for your membership program when it launches and get you some of your first members to your program.

4. Pay per click ads

Running a successful pay-per-click campaign can bring you a lot of targeted traffic to your sales page. Choose the right keywords, craft an attractive ad and you'll have lots of leads. But if you are paying for the traffic, send them to an opt-in page with the membership as an upsell and a nurture down the road. Do not pay traffic to go straight to your sales page. It can be too costly. In addition, you must track your numbers and KNOW what numbers you need to make it a worthwhile strategy.

5. Social marketing

Sites like Facebook and Twitter can offer you lots of opportunities to connect with your niche market and get new potential members. Visit and join Facebook groups. Share your expertise into the groups and include your link occasionally. Consider being premium member of viable groups and receive more opportunities to promote your offer.

6. Q & A Forums

It used to Yahoo Answers but there are several sites that you can choose from to showcase your offer. They are a good place to find questions that people are asking related to your niche. Search through the open questions a few times a week and provide helpful answers. Use your membership site link in the resource area to drive targeted traffic back to your site.

7. Communities (Circle.io, Slack, Substack, Reddit....)

If you already participate in a forum related to your niche, this will be an easy way to promote your site. Add a link to your membership program in your forum signature file. (Do this in our email signature as well.) Each time you post, your sales page link will be promoted.

8. Viral reports

Write a short report on a popular topic within your niche. Solve a major problem or provide a plan of action for your niche. Include lots of links back to your site within the report. Allow others to distribute it for free and your membership program link will get in front of thousands of potential subscribers.

9. Summits

Be a speaker at a Summit related to your membership offer. Create a talk that is closely related to the offer. Be sure to have a full funnel strategy built out to go from free gift to offer. Watch the training I just did HERE

10. Blog comments

Search for blogs in your niche and post insightful comments from time to time. Use your membership site link in your blog comment and you'll get some new visitors to your site. Make sure your comments are authentic and relevant. Do NOT go out spamming blogs with comments. You will get banned!!

11. Giveaways and Bundles

Participate in relevant giveaways or bundles. Plan out your strategy. Watch the funnel training mentioned above. What is your end offer? Plan it backwards and have something of value to offer to the bundle or giveaway host!! Create your nurture plan for once the person joins YOUR community!!

Self Publishing Still Worth It

Self publishing -- at first was a BIG question. But it remains a truly powerful way to get your book to the market and to succeed as an author.

There are a lot of myths out there about publishing, but I'm here to tell you that self publishing, especially digital self-publishing is better than traditional publishing. Mainly due to the upheaval in the publishing world with digital formats, and the ease at which a person who wants to self-publish can get involved today, usually for free.

Digital Self-publishing is Better Than Traditional Publishing

Proliferation of Tablets On The Rise -- Over 1/3 of all adults will own tablets by 2016, according to Forrester Research. That's a 400 percent increase in adoption per year! Anyone who is not excited by these numbers needs a lobotomy. You can cash in on this trend with digital self publishing.

Increased Digital Subscriptions -- People who have never even subscribed to a print magazine have subscribed to magazines via their eReaders or tablets. People really love reading on their tablets more than reading print, or on their PCs. People are also more likely to continue a digital subscription than a paper one. Some speculate that the privacy afforded a person reading a tablet over a book or magazine accounts for these facts.

eBook Sales Keep Going Up -- Amazon and Barnes & Noble announced in 2011 that digital books were outselling print books 2 to 1 for Amazon and 3 to 1 for Nook. This trend will continue as more people grasp and then obtain the technology. The instant gratification of eBooks will drive the trend even more. People will order an eBook without giving it as much thought as they do buying in a bookstore.

Digital Publishing Takes Many Players Out of the Game:

No Middle Man To Worry About -- By self-publishing straight to Digital you do away with the middle men, the printers, not to mention the long process involved with choosing a printer, is all gone. It's easy to put your book in digital format whether for Kindle, Apple, or Nook. In fact you can even bypass all that and put it into PDF format and sell directly from your own website. No need for printer, paper manufacturer, book store, book delivery etc....its even more environmentally friendly.

 With New Paper Back Publishing You Can Have the Best of ALL Worlds

80/20 Rule At Work -- Digital self-publishing is proving the 80/20 rule. If you don't know what that is, basically it's a theory that states that 20 percent of the work gives you 80 percent of the results. If you can get 80 percent of the sales you would have made if you also put your book in print, with only 20 percent of the work, or cost, you're well ahead of the game. For just a little bit of money (say $35.00) you can easily get your book in print.  BUT, there is real money in digital publishing when YOU work at it.  It does take WORK!  And the work is YOURS.

 Selling Books in Multiple Markets Can Help Sales

True Book Sales Numbers Aren't That High -- On average, most books published sell less than 1000 books, total. That's probably a distressing figure, but knowing that and understanding why (marketing) can help you do better than a traditional publisher. Also knowing this number can help you determine how much money you want to spend getting published.

One BIG Myth of Traditional Publishing is that the Publisher Does ALL of the Marketing!

You Must Promote Anyway -- Whether you use traditional publishing or not, you are largely responsible for promoting your book yourself. Only about 2 percent of authors make the best sellers list whether they use traditional publishing or self-publishing. Why not keep the profit yourself? The key to sales is marketing!

You can be successful self publishing your information products, and even your novel if you realize the truth of the industry and what constitutes success, and how to get there. (Marketing!)

Empowering Leadership - Are YOU?

Empowering Leadership -- Cliche?

It is. It is the talk. We have to empower leadership. But what does it really mean? How do we really do it? And do we have the courage to truly empower leadership? If we do, then we are empowering people to make mistakes as well.

Empowering leadership has become one of the most frequently discussed concepts in business circles. It's a term that rolls off the tongue of nearly every corporate executive, management guru, and organizational consultant. But beyond the buzzword and the idealistic notions it conjures, what does empowering leadership truly entail? How do we implement it effectively, and perhaps most importantly, do we possess the requisite courage to embrace it fully, accepting not just the triumphs but also the inevitable stumbles along the way?

Understanding Empowering Leadership

At its core, empowering leadership is about delegating authority and responsibility to employees, giving them the autonomy to make decisions, take actions, and contribute ideas that influence the organization's direction and success. It's a leadership style that contrasts sharply with traditional, hierarchical models where decisions are made at the top and trickle down through the ranks. Empowering leadership is predicated on trust, collaboration, and the belief that individuals at all levels can contribute meaningfully when given the chance.

The Implementation Challenge

Implementing an empowering leadership model is easier said than done. It requires a fundamental shift in organizational culture and mindset. Leaders must learn to relinquish control, a prospect that can be daunting. This shift involves not just a change in behavior but a transformation in how leaders view their roles and the capabilities of their teams.

Empowering employees means providing them with the resources, training, and support they need to succeed. It involves setting clear goals and expectations, then stepping back to allow individuals the freedom to achieve these goals in their own way. It means fostering an environment where innovation is encouraged, and failure is seen not as a setback but as a valuable learning experience.

The Courage to Empower

Perhaps the most significant barrier to empowering leadership is fear. Fear of losing control, fear of diminished authority, and, most acutely, fear of failure. Empowering others means accepting that mistakes will happen. It requires a level of courage and resilience from leaders to stand back and allow their teams to navigate challenges, learn from missteps, and grow through experience.

This fear is not unfounded. The risks of empowering employees include the potential for costly mistakes, the misalignment of individual actions with organizational goals, and the challenge of maintaining accountability in a more decentralized model of decision-making. However, these risks are often outweighed by the benefits: increased innovation, faster decision-making, higher employee engagement, and ultimately, better business outcomes.

Navigating the Path Forward

To truly empower leadership within an organization, several key steps can be taken:

- Cultivate a Culture of Trust: Trust is the foundation of empowerment. Leaders must trust their employees to make the right decisions and employees must trust their leaders to support them.

- Encourage Autonomy within a Framework: Clear goals and boundaries ensure that empowerment doesn't turn into chaos. Employees need to understand the organization's vision, values, and strategic objectives.

- Foster Open Communication: Regular, open lines of communication help ensure alignment and provide a safety net for when mistakes happen.

- Invest in Development: Providing employees with ongoing training and development opportunities equips them with the skills and confidence they need to take on greater responsibilities.

- Celebrate Successes and Learn from Failures: Recognizing and rewarding successes reinforces the value of empowerment, while a constructive approach to failures encourages continuous improvement and innovation.

Empowering leadership is more than a cliché; it's a transformative approach that can unlock the full potential of an organization. But it requires more than lip service. It demands a commitment to change, the courage to face the inherent risks, and the perseverance to develop a culture where every member feels valued, capable, and motivated to contribute to the collective success. The journey may be fraught with challenges, but the destination—a more dynamic, responsive, and engaged organization—is well worth the effort.

5 Quick Tips for Membership Site Success

Building Your Membership Site Success Quickly and Easily!!

Membership sites are a great way to make recurring income online. If you're thinking of starting your own site or you already have one going, here are a few quick tips for success with your membership site. They will help you simplify your content creation process, get affiliates to promote your site and get new members.

Creating your membership site success quickly involves embracing innovative strategies: consider outsourcing content to focus on your strengths, enhance user experience with professional graphics, and diversify offerings with multiple membership levels. Engage your audience through a dedicated blog and make a significant impact with dynamic video content.

1. You can Outsource content creation

Your membership sites success depends on content. You might be delivering new content each month, or perhaps you create the content once and it is evergreen and stands alone. There are several ways to outsource your content creation:

You can hire a ghostwriter to provide your site with articles, reports, workbooks, checklists and blog posts, if you want to cut down on your content creation time. When you use a ghostwriter you'll be able to concentrate on your strengths (like promotion) rather than wrestling with the writing/creation part. When you outsource, you don't have to worry about being a good writer or knowing a lot about your topic. You can have professional content that gives the site value without writing it yourself. BUT, you must review the content to be sure that it fits with your ideas, values, and what you promote.

If it doesn't, it can be a great jumping off spot to revise and improve the content that you paid for. It is critical that you also ensure that you have the rights to publish and sell the content.

Another strategy is to buy licensed content from other experts. This can be a really fast way to build your site and get it off the ground. Again, make sure it is a good fit.

2. Make Sure Your Graphics Sell.

Studies have been shown that outstanding graphics can compensate for average content. Of course, this isn't an excuse to produce lackluster content. But if your site looks good, people will want to be part of it! Your sites graphics don't have to be overly fancy, but they do need to look good. If you're not a pro at graphics, you should find a website designer to give you the professional look that you need to draw in customers. You may be able to barter with a designer for free graphics by offering a free membership to your site. There are also sites such as Fiverr that you can hire someone to do the graphics for you. Tools such as Canva can also help in creating that professional look and feel.

3. I like to have different membership levels or offers

Giving people options that have different price points can make your membership more attractive to different people. Creating two levels of membership or more can help you draw in a wider customer base. You can help people join the site who might not be able to if the price is higher, but you still have the opportunity to get a higher monthly fee from those who want the added benefits of being in the top tier. To encourage more sign ups, you can have a free membership level, a silver level and a gold level.

4. Use a blog to promote your membership site

Create and maintain a blog outside of the gates of your membership site in order to build traffic and increase your presence within the niche. Syndicate your blog posts to your social media sites. I use Blog2Social to do this. My blog is HERE (you are on it right now!!) and it is build on Wordpress. Blog2Social is a plugin for Wordpress.

You can maintain your blog as part of your main website (I prefer this) or create it on a completely different domain. Blog about popular topics inside your membership site and give teasers about the content that members are receiving. When you give quality content and mix in references to your membership site, you'll create credibility and get new members for your sites.

5. Add video to your membership site for major impact

Video is almost a must these days. Including short educational videos as part of your site can be meaningful to your members. You can take your articles and convert them to video, you can do talking head educational videos or more formal training videos. Services such as Zoom or Streamyard allow you to record your video and save the recording for adding to your website!!

To elevate your membership site, consider outsourcing content, investing in professional graphics, offering varied membership levels, promoting through a blog, and incorporating engaging video content. These strategies can streamline operations, enhance appeal, and broaden your audience, setting the foundation for a thriving online community.

Working From Home: 4 Pitfalls

Pitfalls To Watch Out For When Working From Home

There's no denying that working from home offers many advantages, but it is a change for many right now. And it can be challenging.

Working from home can be the ultimate freedom you get to set your own hours, working when, where and how you want. But in this time, it might be more structured with work times. team meetings etc.

However, there are also a number of potential pitfalls you need to be aware of, and watch out for, or you'll risk turning your home-based job into an unproductive nightmare.

1. Failing to keep business and private life separate

This is one of the most common issues for people who work from home, especially those who are self-employed. I'm writing this on Saturday!! Proves my point.....

When the home office is right there, it can be hard to stay away even if you should really be off work for the day. Before you know it, you'll have spent another few hours of your precious weekend on work. This is the fast track to burning out, and something you must learn to avoid if you want to be successful working from home.

2. Not planning your work

This mostly applies to people who are self-employed and may not have a boss telling them what to do every day. When you're working on your own projects, planning is an absolute must. If the first thing you ask yourself when you start your day is: Okay, what am I going to do today?, then you're setting yourself up for failure.

It's much better to plan out the next day before you go off work in the evening, so you're ready to get started first thing in the morning.

3. Working from home, at irregular times

When you're free to set your own hours, it doesn't mean that you should only work whenever you feel like it. Chances are after a few months that you'll rarely feel like it at all, especially when there are so many fun distractions around the house.

That's why it's better to try to stick to working the same hours every day, even if it might resemble a real job a bit too much for your liking. You can always take breaks during the day if you need to recharge, but try to at least go into your office around the same time if you want productivity levels to stay high.

4. Not getting out of the house regularly

When you work from home there is usually very little motivation to go outside. You've got everything you need at home anyway, right? That's true, but after a whole week you'll most likely be feeling isolated and lonely, and that's perfectly normal.

That's why it's so important to make time for little things like grabbing lunch with a friend - something as simple as that can really boost your energy and make your working week easier and less lonely. Especially now, so take a walk everyday.  Take a bike ride.

8 Ways for Building Customer Relationships That Last

One of the ways a business builds its brand is to tug at the emotions of their audience. The way a customer and client work together and communicate can build long-lasting, meaningful relationships that turn clients into fans, and fans into clients. You can actually set out to build these relationships by using emotional marketing techniques.

1. Show Them That You Know Them

Building customer relationships can benefit from your market research.

The more research you do into the needs and desires of your target audience, the more your audience will be able to tell that you’re interested in them. When you show interest in them, it will make them interested in your business and you. When you discover something about your audience, let them know through your content and your actions.

2. Treat Them Right

This is basic for building your customer relationships. When you don't do it right..... it is not good!!

So many times business owners have sales and special events to get new clients. What about the clients you already have? Keeping them is far more important than getting a new client, and less costly too. Do something special for your existing client base or fan base that shows them that you care about them. Give them a discount, or a special freebie, or something else that attaches them to you in a special way.

3. Be Transparent and Honest

Authenticity -- you being you is a key to building customer relationships effectively.

One way to endear yourself to your audience is to always be transparent and honest. If you make a mistake, own up to it. If you change your views on something, it’s okay to admit it. Doing so will endear you to your audience and make you appear so much more trustworthy to them.

4. Put People before Numbers

Knowing your numbers is important to your business growth and knowing whether what you are doing is effective or not. BUT, it is critical to building customer relationships that customers feel they are not a number. No one likes that feeling.

While you do things to help promote your business, it’s important to keep your morals and remember that people are more important than numbers. If you put people first in your business, including yourself, you’ll find that you naturally improve your bottom line. The more people trust you, the more they’ll buy from you.

5. Be Fun When Appropriate

No one wants to feel as if they’re communicating with a robot or someone who is not real. Be funny when it’s appropriate so that you can show your humanity. Your humanness will shine through when you add some humor and fun to posts, emails, and even sales pages. This is true in videos too. Making mistakes, not being perfect makes you real, human, someone your customer can relate to.

6. Be Responsive

Your customers expect to get an answer when they have a problem, and they expect it to be quickly. Provide many different ways for your audience to contact you. Explain to your audience at each method how long they can expect to wait for a response. Then follow up and do what you said you’d do. Relationships do not thrive when people feel ignored.

7. Engage with Your Audience

Find ways to engage with your audience. Ask for their advice or ideas when it comes to a new product or service you’re going to launch. They can help name it, help define what should be in it, and even how much you should charge for it. Your audience can also be your best source of word-of-mouth marketing.

8. Consider the Communication Format

Also, it’s important to try to get an understanding of how people communicate within their environment. Communication online in chat, instant message, Twitter, or a blog, is far different from communicating on the telephone or in person. Even email is different from other methods of communication. It’s imperative that you determine what is different and then make up for that with the type of communication they’re using.

Building customer relationships that last is part of the goal of effective marketing. When you’ve formed an attachment with the consumer, they will stick with you for years - through price increases, trials and tribulations, and more. You can’t go wrong with building good customer relationships.

How To Stay Committed To Reaching Your Goals

Make the Commitment to your goals!!

Let's admit it, we all have that one goal we've been trying to set yet failed to achieve. Think about countless New Years resolution attempts, broken piggy banks, a planned vacation that remains a plan.

So how exactly do we go about having a goal and then actually achieve it?

The key to success is an overly used word, yet only followed by a few commitment. Yes, the word does not only apply to relationships. It also applies to everything else in life that one wishes to achieve. It could be with regard to your first million dollars, your weight-loss program, your love life, or simply beating your early-morning alarm.

Commitment is the key.

The only problem is that not everyone stays committed. The word itself is associated with fear, distraction, procrastination, and whatnots. You are in luck though, because below are a set of tricks you can carry up your sleeve should you plan to tackle your goals head-on.

Set a Clear and Definite Goal

Another clich, but this actually is a herculean task for most of us. You must set a realistic goal first, one that you think is worth your efforts if you intend to achieve a result.

Its not enough that you know what you want to achieve. You also should have a detailed plan before you make that first step. As soon as the path has been carved, it will only be a matter of time (and willpower) before you reach the destination.

Focus

We all fall victim to pitfalls and unexpected turns. In fact, a lot of people would stop after the first fall or wrong turn. When challenges come up and emotions cloud your judgment, you need to focus on what your real purpose is and go on with your journey.

Keep Moving

This is the reason why goals are planned ahead in detail, so you will not have to analyze (or overanalyze) when you are already midway through your journey. Sacrifices are expected and you will fall a few times. Just get up and keep moving until you reach your destination. Stopping in your tracks, giving up, and turning back are no longer options at this point.

Enjoy

Take it from Mary Poppins (she is one of my absolute favorites!!), Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down. Don't think of your goal as a task, but a game.

After all, its in the journey that we learn the most lessons - not the destination.

Are You Dreading Year End Performance Appraisals?

Do you  sit in your office dreading the conversation with employees around performance an their annual performance appraisal?



Do you wish the performance appraisal would just be over with?

Have you ever procrastinated the employee performance appraisal so long it was almost the next year?

These are just a few of the comments we hear from managers and business leaders about the annual employee performance appraisal.  Many feel the same about their own, personal performance appraisal and dread it equally.  What makes them so difficult?

It's the direct conversation with another person that makes it hard, AND the fact that the conversation has NOT been ongoing.  When the performance appraisal is used as an effective tool for enhancing employee performance improvement the conversation is happening throughout the year and the employee and the supervisor are both engaged and committed to the plan.

Shifting to a performance improvement system that is positive, focused on producing results and success shifts the entire year end experience.  In addition, the workplace culture shifts to one of results oriented and skill mastery.  Employees are engaged in the top goals for success and they know that they have the support of their managers and team.

What does it take to make this shift?

First, it takes a new paradigm -- one that is focused and positive.

The manager has to make the first shift.

The next step is to use a planning process that engages the employee.  We use the Best Year Yet® system of transformation.  It is a powerful system of moving employees into a results focused paradigm and taking a moment to look at their limiting beliefs as well.  By doing this the manager can help them to overcome limitations and be successful.  The plan sets the top goals for the employee for the year, in collaboration with the manager or leader.  The plan is simple and focused.

The plan is then reviewed with the employee each month.  It is not the manager leading the conversation but rather the employee.  The employee comes to the meeting prepared to discuss their goals and how they did on each goal for the previous month.  Using an online system for tracking goals, employees actually login into their plan and SCORE their goals.  This is a powerful shift in how appraisals are done.  It is empowering to employees and more fully engages them in the plan and its outcomes.  It is not a plan that has been handed to them and is negatively focused, it is a plan that they have developed to create their "best year yet", and as a result the company results are improved.

When managers are engaged with employees then they are more clued into what is interfering with success. They are having regular conversations with staff and know what is happening through out their area of responsibility.  In addition, they know just how their team is performing.

When it comes time to review the plan again at year end the experience is no longer dreaded but is anticipated with enthusiasm.  Relationships between managers and employees are shifted to collaborative rather than controlling and confrontational.

Workplaces that develop a system of performance improvement see greater team work, greater company results and more collaborative behavior on their team.

Your Membership Site Startup Checklist

Your Membership Site Startup Checklist

Starting a membership site is easier than you think. Although there are a lot of requirements involved, you can breeze through them all with this simple checklist. Once you get through this list you'll be in prime position to launch your own membership site and start gathering a consistent monthly income from your site.

Domain name

Your first step is to get a domain name. Use the most popular keywords in your niche and add a community-oriented suffix like club, group or team. For example, your weight loss membership site could be hosted at www.loseweightclub.com. Using keywords can help with search results. Or you can include it on your website and point the domain to the website.

Website

Your website design will have a big impact on how your members use your website and how often they come back. You'll need a welcome page, a blog, a member's area and/or course area and perhaps a forum, depending on the nature of your membership site..

Sales Process or Funnel

Your sales process or funnel should guide prospects through a meaningful sales process. It may be a sales letter that should convince visitors why they should join your membership site. It may also be a Webinar with a powerful call to action at the end that sends the person to your shopping cart with a program summary. Some would consider it to be the most important part of your business because it gets people in through the door. The sales process needs to emphasize the benefits of your membership site as well as mentioning the features. By the time you have guided people through your process, they should be ready to say: "Hell Yeah!!"; you'll make the decision easy for them.

Order Processor or Shopping Cart

You won't make any money with your membership site unless you have this set up properly. While many people use Paypal, Stripe or another credit card processor, to process their monthly subscriptions, you will need the technology to facilitate this. I use LifterLMS as my Wordpress plugin for my site and I use it's built in shopping care along with Stripe. There are also options such as WooCommerce, ThriveCart, 1ShoppingCart and more. If you are hosting on a membership platform such as Teachable, or GoHighLevel, then you will set up their system and probably connect it to Stripe or Paypal.

Membership Site Script, Plugin or Host

A membership site script or plugin will keep your website secure. The script/plugin will build a registration form into your site, which will allow paying members to sign up and access the site. It will also keep visitors from accessing your content without paying. Thanks to membership site plugins/scripts you don't have to hire a coder to set up a custom script for you. You can also host on a learning platform such as Teachable, Udemy etc.

Email Autoresponder program

You'll want to keep in touch with your members and let them know what is going on inside of the site. Using an autoresponder e-mail list is a great way to keep people active in the site. You can send out a new message each time there is a content update, or you can e-mail a weekly newsletter. Place an opt in box on the welcome page that members get to after they've successfully subscribed.

Startup Content

Before you launch your site, you should have several articles, reports and other forms of content available for your members to enjoy. If you plan on having a certain amount of updates per month, you should have at least twice as much content when you start. This way the members know that theyll be getting quality from you in the future. Write the content yourself or have a ghostwriter do it for you.

Editorial Schedule

Just like traditional newspapers, your membership site needs an editorial calendar. You dont want to scramble around each month trying to get your content together. Plan ahead at least a few months of content and get it prepared before you need to post it.

By following these steps, you'll be ready to promote your membership site and start earning monthly income.

Self Worth or Self Esteem

Self worth or self esteem...are they two different concepts, or just different names for the same thing? Many people use the two terms interchangeably, but there are others who believe that these are two separate and unique concepts entirely.

First, let's examine self worth a bit.

How worthy or valuable do you believe you are? Do you feel you deserve the things you desire? The answer to these questions determines your self-worth. It might surprise you to know that there are many gifted individuals who have very low levels of self-worth, and will subconsciously sabotage any potential success at the first given opportunity. The larger and more life-changing the potential success, the harder the will to self-sabotage.

Self worth or Self esteem - Is There a Difference?

Your self-worth is largely built up during your early childhood years. You're essentially told what your own worth is by your parents, how they act and react to you, and the quality of attention you get from them. The good news is that even if you've had a challenging childhood, self-worth is something that you can build up yourself!

Set Realistic Goals for Yourself

Setting realistic yet challenging goals that stretch our limits shows you what you're capable of achieving. Reaching those goals proves to you that you're worth the result, thereby growing and maintaining a healthy sense of self-worth. And successes don't have to be solely financial. Success can be seen as anything that you've achieved that holds true value for you, whether it's a new, higher paying job, learning a new skill such as painting or drawing, or having healthy relationships.

Let's Talk Self Esteem

Now, let's talk about self esteem. Your self esteem can be dependent on things outside of yourself - like rejection. A small rejection can feel very large and painful, and it immediately changes the way we think, and feel, about ourselves. One of the best ways to bolster your own self-esteem is to surround yourself with supportive people who like and enjoy you, and appreciate your unique talents and skills. Everyone likes to be liked and appreciated, and everyone deserves this treatment from those they have within their inner circle.

If you do take a hit to your self esteem, there is good news - you can recover quickly by simply doing the things that you're good at. By recognizing that there are distinct things you are great at doing, that hit to your self-esteem will hurt a little less, and a little less until the hurt is gone, and you're feeling great again!

For me, I have found refuge on my bike. Being physical helps me to feel confident in myself overall.  I have am confident as a rider and I find that when I am physically fit it contributes to my overall health as well as my self worth. Taking the time to be physically fit is an important component for me in staying positive.

Both self esteem and self worth are rather important facets of a healthy identity. You should try to develop and maintain both for the most positive outlook.

Developing a success mindset can help your feelings of self worth or self esteem.  Pick up my guide to build your success mindset along with the comprehensive daily planner.  When you plan for success and work on success, your mindset shifts.  Low self worth is not possible with a success mindset or a growth mindset.

When you work on your own mindset, you will see a shift.

Download the guide today.  HERE

When you start focusing, intentionally, on your mindset, your self worth you will find that you do get to choose it. You have the ability to shift it and take control and change the results.  Decide today to change low self worth. Don't let it take control of your life.

Distractions That Drain Your Focus

4 Distractions That Drain Your Focus on Your Goals

There are plenty of distractions in the modern world. They take away your focus and your energy and can stop you from having the life you want. If you're not hitting your goals, maybe its time to look at your main distractions and do something about them.

Here are the most common distractions that are likely stopping you from living your best life.

1. Social media

It wont surprise you to hear that the biggest distraction for most people is social media and the hours it eats out of the day. Take a quick look at your Instagram feed or Facebook, and before you know it, you're mindlessly scrolling through what looks like other peoples perfect lives.

Its time to take stock and decide how much of your life you want to spend watching what other people are doing. Set some boundaries about when and how long you will spend on social media. Take a look at your friends and see if they're people you want to know.

2. Smartphone

Smartphones are great tools, but they can quickly become a huge distraction. Look around and see how many people are walking down the street with their eyes glued to their phones. Think about how long you can go without checking your phone. Try leaving your phone in your purse or your pocket when you go out for a meal. Leave it at home when you take the dog for a walk.

Another tip is to cull some of the apps on your phone. Work out what you need and delete the rest. And remember mobile games are one of the biggest time-sucks. Think about how you want to use your time and be strategic about how you use your phone.

3. Online watching

How much time do you waste watching meaningless YouTube videos or binge-watching box sets? These might feel like simple, relaxing things to do, but if youre not careful, they can drain as much time as social media.

Keep focused on how you want your life to be and make decisions about how much recreational TV you want to watch.

4. Negative people

Giving your time away to negative people can be damaging to your success. You can probably name the people at the office or in your life who drain you of energy and who take up a lot of time with their complaining, attention-seeking, and neediness.

If there are people around you who are undermining your chances of meeting your goals, you need to set some healthy boundaries and get out of their orbit. Look for positive, high energy people who will support you and cheer you on.

Are you looking to enhance your business's success path?

Wondering how a membership site could benefit your entrepreneurial journey?

In a recent episode of the "Womenpreneur's Success Path" series by Donna Price, the key benefits of having a membership site were discussed.

Let's dive into the insights shared and explore how a membership site can be a game-changer for your business.

- Continuous Profits: One of the standout benefits is the opportunity to market your offerings once and continue to profit from them. Similar to how a gym membership generates monthly revenue, a membership site offers the prospect of ongoing income without the need for constant marketing efforts. This continuity lays the foundation for sustained profitability and business growth.

- Predictable, Stable Income: By charging a monthly fee for membership access, you can establish a reliable stream of income. This stability serves as a financial cushion, allowing you to focus on expanding your business and welcoming new sales without solely relying on one-time transactions.

- Builds Loyalty: A membership program offers a unique chance to cultivate loyalty among your customer base. Whether it is a complimentary addition to a product or service or a standalone offering, a well-crafted membership site can serve as a testament to your commitment to customer satisfaction.

- Rewards Loyalty: Membership sites provide an avenue to reward the loyalty of your customers by granting them exclusive access to specialized content and perks. By incorporating tiered membership levels, you can further incentivize long-term commitment and engagement.

- Strengthens Relationships: Harnessing the power of a membership site allows you to forge and sustain enduring relationships with your customers. You can offer tailored incentives to top clients, fostering their continued patronage and advocacy for your brand.

- Value Provision: Through a membership site, you can consistently provide value to your members by sharing your expertise through various mediums such as newsletters, blogs, articles, videos, and audios. This continual act of providing enriching content bolsters member retention and turns into a reliable source of revenue.

With the foundation laid out by Donna Price, it's clear that a membership site can be a catalyst for revitalizing your business dynamics. However, the real magic happens when you tailor the concept to fit your unique business and customer base. Imagine a scenario where your customers are not just interested buyers but valued members, reaping the benefits of your exclusive community.

So, if you're ready to explore the potential of a membership site for your business, consider the following action steps:

- Assess Your Business: Evaluate your current offerings and customer base to identify the potential for a membership site. Which exclusive benefits and resources can you offer to your members?

- Create a Value-Driven Plan: Devise a plan for offering unparalleled value to your members through specialized content, perks, and ongoing engagement strategies.

- Implement Loyalty Rewards: Incorporate tiered membership levels and exclusive access to incentivize loyalty and long-term commitment from your customers.

- Sustain Engagement: Focus on methods to continuously engage with your members, ensuring that the value you provide translates into enduring relationships.

- Accelerate Your Membership Strategy: Reach out to consultants or experts in the field to brainstorm ideas and create an action plan for launching and sustaining a successful membership program.
Incorporating a membership site into your business model can redefine the way you interact with your customers and elevate your revenue streams. As you embark on this journey, remember that the key lies in consistently providing exceptional value and experiences to your members, cultivating a loyal and thriving community.

If you're genuinely motivated to transform your business dynamics and elevate your success path, it's time to embark on this remarkable journey. Let's dive into the realm of membership sites and craft an enduring legacy for your business.

How Content Repurposing Can Save YOU!

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Content Repurposing Just Makes Sense!

Using your content in multiple ways can save you time as well as money and help you to reach more people on different platforms.  This article will demo the effectiveness of the strategy.  Here I have an infographic, I am writing an article to go with the infographic, I will also upload a video of the infographic.

The infographic makes the article more appealing because there is a visual, so if you don't want to read the article, you can just look at the infographic.  The video takes the information and makes it so you don't even have read the article or look at the infographic.

But the other thing that happens is that now, I can distribute the content on different platforms.  The article alone isn't useful on Pinterest or Instagram, but the infographic takes the information to those platforms.  The video is helpful on each platform, and gives me the ability to share the content on Youtube and other video platforms.

The blog is the hub that it all starts on and points back to and then there are some links that point across platforms as well. Content repurposing grows out of your blog...

Of course there are a few other things that can be done with the content as well.  I can spin the article and distribute to article marketing sites, I can add the infographic and article to LinkedIn and publish it there.  I can create a slideshow to distribute to slideshow sites.... and each of these again brings traffic back to the hub of it all -- the website (or blog).

Content repurposing can take one article and move it out onto the internet in multiple ways... and I am not doing them all.  I could take it further and create a podcast, an audio, a webinar, a hangout and the list goes on and on.  All from one article -- turned infographic-- turned video--audio--pdf--slideshow....

When you take the time to use your content strategically, you are using in multiple ways.  You are content repurposing and maximizing your time and resources.

Content repurposing just makes sense for marketers but even more so for small business owners because it is time consuming to develop good content and then to use it only once is a waste.
