Viral Articles

[ 14 Comments » ]

It’s amazing how fast Viral articles can produce leads and build your list. 

Viral articles should take up to 25% of your marketing time.

Who does this:  You can do the articles or you can hire someone to do them for you, but you should not be in charge of distributing them (or your Podcasts – that takes too much time). 

Get a virtual assistant (VA) or a $15 an hour person to surf the net and hold them accountable to posting no less than 10 plus articles each week.  Which means that in 10 weeks, you’ll have 100 articles posted – not 100 different articles, but 100 different places for your articles to appear.  This will automatically multiply as they sit in cyberspace and get passed around and automatically picked up by newsletter managers or webmasters looking for content, or other article submission sites looking for more articles to offer their customers.

This used to be a technique only used by those who had no marketing budget, but now it’s a staple in every bestsellers arsenal of marketing techniques. 

Creating viral articles is as simple as paraphrasing your book into bite size 400 – 500 word articles, including a press line, a call to action, and a good contact info line – then mass distributing those articles.

The next generation to this amazing marketing tool is Podcasts, which opens you up to another entire population of buyers.  Both Podcasts and viral articles should be handled in the same fashion, in fact, many of my viral articles were simply converted into audio and posted on Podcast sites, with little or no alteration to the copy.

Conquering Fear and Taking Action…

[ 15 Comments » ]

Most people are so scared of failing, that they let fear destroy them and they live their lives ‘wishing’ for better times.

I know that you’re ready to STRETCH yourself.

I know you believe NOW is your time.

Am I right or am I really right?

Remember: You don’t have to get it perfect, you just have to get it going.

Get off your tail and SPRINT to GREATER ACTION starting right now.

It you haven’t already, now is the time to take massive action.
 
I won’t accept anything but the best effort from you…and I hope you don’t accept anything less than that from yourself, because I know you can do this - I know you have greatness within you and it’s dying to come out.

Raise the level of what you’ll accept from yourself and from your life.

Take ACTION TODAY! Visualize yourself being a bestselling author. See yourself signing books for a long line of people.  Get excited.  If you LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES along the way you will reach your goal.

You were born to be GREAT.  Listen to that again - You were born to be great.

You were born to share what you have in your head and in your heart through your books.

Ask yourself this question…

What is one action I could take today that’s a stretch for me, but I know it would help me reach my goal?  Write the answer down here:
 
_____________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________

…then take action - take massive action!!!

And if You Fall Off The Plan (miss a day of writing, screw up on a teleseminar, etc), Than Forgive Yourself and Immediately Get Right Back On It.”

I want to end this 52nd lesson with a quote from Jim Rohn that goes like this:

He says that all men and women suffer pains throughout their life…

“You either suffer the pains of discipline or the pains of regret.
The BIG difference is that discipline weight ounces…
regret weight tons.”

Whether or not you condition yourself to take action every day is completely up to you.

However, those who “suffer” the pains of daily discipline WILL enjoy all the applicable results.  Those who find reasons to avoid the daily/weekly action steps that we discussed will always suffer the consequences and frustrations associated with a lack of persistent appropriate action.

If you haven’t yet begun, than forgive yourself, and begin now.

Don’t wait for anything or anyone.

Move forward confidently towards your goal - always keeping that vision of yourself as a bestselling author in your head, and always moving in that direction.

I have full faith in you all.  I know you have a bestseller within you.  And I’m proud of you for making it to the end of this program.

I hope you keep me up to date and that you send me an autographed copy of your book as soon as it comes out and if you do - know that it’ll be proudly placed in my private library among all the other greats - and know that when my friends come by, I’ll show them your book.
