Get your memberships site and they’ll chuck in a free book.

Aly - The Geordie Coach — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 20:39:09 +0000

Hi, I’m still talking about the benefits of running your membership sites and I know this is of interest to many people with online businesses. The memberships sites you run will keep your clients and prospects coming back to you on a regular basis and is a great way of running training courses and provinging informational updates regularly.

You’ll no doubt know I am a huge fan of WishList Member if you have been following my blogs, well they are running a really cool promotion where they have teamed up with the co-founder of WooThemes (Adii Pienaar).

If you purchase WishList Member between now and August 27th, you’ll get Adii’s new book (Rockstar Business) absolutely free. Are you wondering what’s the catch? Well there is not one, well no catch other than the promotion ends August 27th, 2010. So if you don’t order between now and then, you won’t get the book and video for free.

All the details are located here:

Enjoy!
Aly

Oh and did I tell you that you can also ask Adii questions ahead of time before the video interview – they are
going to try and incorporate as many into the interview as they can.

Is your business a best kept secret?

Aly - The Geordie Coach — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:46:17 +0000

In todays business building session I have a really simple question for you … Is your business a best kept secret?

If your business a best kept secret of your best clients then prospects and potential future clients will not be able to find your or your website, will not know what products and services you offer, purchase from you or be able to refer you on to others for even more potential business.

That is all well and good if you have more work than you can deliver and everything is looking rosy. However things are not always great forever and business can slow down or dry up.

Just think of the terrific work that you do and all the people out there who would benefit from your products and services if only they knew about them.

Why are you keeping your business a great secret? Whilst it could be that you do have enough work for the medium and long term more likely for many businesses it is due to another reason.

Do you know how best to present your business? Chances are that you were trained in your profession but not in marketing your business to the public.

Do you know how to differentiate your business effectively from your competitors?

Do your prospects know how to find you?

Is your mindset holding you back? Does your business have potential to grow? If so are you holding back from the necessary steps in fear that you will not success?

All of the above are just some of the reasons that businesses fail to prosper and grow. You may be amazingly talented, you may offer fanstastic products and services, however if people do not know how to find you or understand what you do all your marketing efforts will have been in vane.

If you would like to develop and grow your business consider getting in touch with a business coach who specialises in marketing and develop a strategy for business success.

To procrastinate or not to procrastinate

The Youth Coach — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 14:37:02 +0000

Procrastination can destroy your dreams, before you know it time has passed you by and all of those hopes, dreams and goals have fallen by the wayside. When that happens it is easy to regret what has happened, to blame yourself and others for the lack of progress or achievement.

The thing with procrastination is that it grabs you tightly with both hands and holds on without you even realising it. It holds you back and before you know it days, weeks and months pass you by as have many opportunities that came your way and it is too late to follow up.

How much has procrastination cost your or your business? I am not just talking about money. I am talking about opportunites that you have not taken up, relationships that have fallen by the wayside, people who you know have moved on to more attentive friends or partners.

It will happen again and again until you learn how to deal with procrastination. You need to understand how it takes a grip and how you cann cast it aside, ready to change, motivated and excited about new opportunities.

What will you no longer accept in your life?
Are you ready to change?
Are you committed to change?

What will you do? You can stay where you are right now or learn how to motivate and excel yourself for a bigger brighter future.

Using traffic to generate money

Aly - The Geordie Coach — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 19:37:19 +0000

There are a few ways that you can use use your website or blog traffic to generate money. I’m not suggesting that you ruthlessly squeeze every last penny out of your visitors wallet or savings account. Many online business owners spend money to encourage visitors to come to their websites and obviously would like a return on this.

Many people have set up websites and blogs in response to the huge publicity given to those successful marketeers who have made six figure or seven figure incomes working just a few hours a week from a millionaire pad in a sunny climate. However the reality is that far more people struggle to generate these hug sums.

Many newbies are under the misapprehension that setting up a webiste or blog, adding Google adsense and driving oodles of traffic is all that is required. The small sums of money you get when your visitors click on your adsense adverts will not generate a great income for the site owner.

The secret to online success is through driving traffic, masses of it, to your website and having a product or service they are interested in available for them to easily purchase on their arrival. If you do not have a product of your own then look at promoting affiliate products or services which may interest your visitors.

If you have a product of your own to sell then great, you get to keep 100% of the profit. If you are promoting affiliate products then you revenue will the a percentage of what the goods or services sell for, less money but you have not gone to the expense of creating a product yourself, creating the website, paying for copy and graphics for the site etc. Find out what works for you in the niche that you are working in.

Another essential requirement if you are lookingn to generate money online is to build a list. You will hear time and time again that the money is in the list; it is. The people who have joined your mailing list are interested in the niche you are working in, they will be interested in products and services available for purchase whether they be yours or an affiliates.

How do you get the visitors to your website to subscribe to your mailing list? Give them an incentive; a free digital product is great, for example, information report, Ebook, audio or video relevant to the niche you service.

If you dont know where to start writing a product of your own (and it is not that hard, honestly!) consider using some PLR articles to get you started.

5 tips for online success

The Youth Coach — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 07:10:30 +0000

“5 Tips To Online Success”

Learn
Ensure you learn the basics of online marketing, how to grow your business with information and other digital products.

List Building
You really do need a subscriber list, it is crucial. The bigger the list the better, for your list to be successful you need to deliver quality information which is relevant to your prospects passions.

Affiliate Marketing
Develop your knowledge on affiliate marketing. If you do not have a product or service which meets your prospects need then promote an affiliate product, also works if what you are promoting compliments what you are offering. Great thing about affiliate marketing is that you are promoting another persons product or service but it has cost you yourself nothing to develop or create the product albeit that you receive only a % of the sales revenue.

Traffic
To have a successful online business you must be able to generate traffic. It is the lifeblood or your business. Learning how to get great targeted traffic is not hard, so this should be top of your list.

Product Creation
Create your own products, that way you get to keep 100% of the revenue generated from the sales. The number of sales will fluctuate from day to day / week to week so ideally have several or many products that are income generating for you. Many online busiesses choose to include membership sites in their business model as it is a great source of regular income.

Why Understanding Behavior is the Key Resource of Effective Leaders

Aly - The Geordie Coach — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 22:02:17 +0000

: Image via Wikipedia

The key resource for a leader is people. This means that if we are to assess leaders we should only use a single measure. And that is the understanding of the science of human behavior and applying these principles to their workplace. One of the most vital indicators of positive leadership is the percentage of individuals who volunteer to use their discretionary effort. This is the effort that people put into their job because they choose to do it and typically, we would call it going above and beyond the call of duty.

This discretionary behavior is always the result of positive reinforcement and never seems to exist under punishment. It seems that when the person receives positive reinforcement even if it is a personal benefit, their behavior can be consistent and long-lasting. On the other hand, when there is negative reinforcement, the person may deliver extra effort but without the same consistency and duration. The threat of negative reinforcement causes the discretionary behavior to diminish to a level of mere compliance. Whilst both types of reinforcement can produce discretionary effort, only positive reinforcement will give the sustained consistency and duration that is of value to the organization.

The very best leaders understand this situation and ensure that they contribute and deliver positive reinforcement which is certain and immediate to their direct reports. Creating a discretionary behavior can be difficult in a hierarchical structure because the leader may have to work through several layers of management. Each layer creates its own challenges because each manager will filter information that is to be passed on to subordinates. The canny leader can circumvent this problem by, with the permission of the manager, passing on positive reinforcement directly to the people concerned. This can be done in concert with the manager and becomes a powerful force in delivering positive reinforcement when this is applied this way.

The first and foremost challenge for the leader is to create an environment that encourages discretionary behavior from his or her managers. Then of course, the second challenge is to gain the managers’ cooperation in delivering positive reinforcement to obtain the same discretionary behavior from their staff.

Whilst this might sound to be quite simplistic, it is, in fact, quite a difficult process. First of all, we have to ensure that all leaders and all managers have a good practical working understanding of human behavior. This is the step which is omitted frequently. Understanding human behavior is the most important tool of the leader and manager and therefore should receive the same or greater level of importance as finance.

Changing Minds – Accepting Others’ Values and Beliefs

Aly - The Geordie Coach — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 21:47:19 +0000

: Image via Wikipedia

Values and beliefs are very deep structures and even intensive methods [such as brainwashing] can be insufficient to irreversibly change them. ~David Straker, Changing Minds – In Detail.

Seeking to change people against the flow of themselves is fraught with danger, relationally. So, then, why do we even try to do that, husband, wife, employee, manager or pastor?

These deep-seated structures–values and beliefs–are core to the people in our midst and they seem to hold them for their whole lifetimes. So, how do we work with these people in the ‘world of influence’ i.e. when we have a role to influence others for their and our own good; for the “team” goal?

The answer, I think, is to go against the whole matter of trying to influence. Our success depends mostly on the trust we have with people; how much they respect us, and us them. When we achieve these interpersonal results of positive rapport, and these people know our goals–as we seek to create influence, they will tend to want to align. We create alliances beyond the goals at hand; the bonds are stronger than the task within reach.

Changing minds comes notionally as a result of perhaps seeking the opposite–a totally rampant acceptance of peoples’ precious individualised viewpoints. How is it that we can achieve such an entwined purpose when we’re not seeking the goal itself? Perhaps it gives some credence to the fact that everyone’s values and belief systems inherently reinforce this one thing:

Everyone wants to be treated authentically, with respect and devoid of another person’s agenda. Everyone wants others to achieve their innate opinions. Everyone genuinely requires acceptance to truly thrive–in any situation, and yet this acceptance is quite simply the easiest thing to give. We only have to think passionately of the other person. But how many struggle to get beyond their own needs?

As a leader or a person of influence, surely it is others we’re in it for. Unfortunately, however, this is not always the case, and this is when we will get it all wrong. Achieving results against the grain is not only not enjoyable, it simply doesn’t work–not with sustainability in the long run.

We must start to trust people’s base values and beliefs without casting aspersions (either positive or negative) and seek to not change them. Other people’s values and beliefs are so very “them” they have nothing to do with us. Even if they did, we couldn’t change them. We can only accept this.
