Simple Life 

Our modern day lives can seem complicated and complex. How can we make this simpler and stress free?  Simple in itself is to show humility and grace in all things. To cope with stress or complications it is more substantial to understand the value of simplicity.  Bret Micheals'
popular song"Every Rose Has It's Throne", comes to mind as we think about our lives. Our lives are not a bed of roses by any means.  Every rose bed has its throne and every person owns what nature has granted them.  Remember, that the sun shines now will set after sometime and with joy will come pain. The Ying Yang concepts represents balance and harmony and suggests that everything in nature is composed of opposite but complementary elements. Why is this important to you as a business? What can a simple approach do for your business?

Results: To get better results we need to apply simple focus on one thing instead of indulging in many complicated and complex task that are time-consuming and lead to burnout and wasted energy. Can complicated decisions result in the worst outcomes?  When we are stuck doing hectic task and massive work all at once, the downside is that we cannot expect optimal performance in the best ways at anytime.  I would say find the simple option over all and be straightforward.  Get better results and don't sweat the little things as we know most problems can be solved when we breakdown its parts as simple.

The more your bring simplicity into your life the more harmony will come with your decision-making process and things will become less ambiguous on many levels.  STOP CREATING AMBIGUITY.  We may find that many challenges we face can be decided by how vague or simple we make them. You will find that most of us move in our complex ways and remain stuck with challenges until we can find a easy solution to move on.

Is Your Email Listing Slowing Your Success?

People do not just like to hand out their email addresses online. We can see why this is for very good reasons, i.e., privacy, spamming information, and random cold emails that don't target a specific need. The question is how do we get more newsletter sign-ups and subscribers to our channel and website? How can we solve pertinent issues quickly and easily?

Studies show that the number one issue facing small business owners today is not having enough qualified prospects. A simple sales lead that can be inexpensive to set-up can be your answer to this problem. The types of keywords that you use to generate leads can be the difference between being seen consistently and being completely ignored by your potential customers. Delivering the most relevant results in the search engine will help  customers find your campaign easier and keywords used will cement your intentions as a seller or provider of services.  Individuals pay Google search engine a great deal of money as they bring the most relevant, most targeted paying leads for their business. Use your Google My Business app to keep your customers updated on what your business can do for them and how you can solve their pain points. I recently helped a client whose business was listed on Google as permanently closed when in fact it was opened for business during normal working hours. The owner had no clue as to why when a potential customer came to visit the site is stated it was indeed closed "permanently". The simple fix was to have my client install the Google MyBusiness app and go to the info section and change the hours to read open and what times and days of operation they would be opened. You don't have to know everything about digital marketing, just what is pertaining to your business specific needs only! Use your emails to target a specific focus group and develop a constant rapport with your subscribers that will lead to long term relationships.

The gist here is to not to rely on cold emails to your clients without giving them something that helps them find you easy on the internet. Your objective will be to give them something for free or a software package that may consist of a free e-book, tutorial, or a giveaway. Tap into the power of Google search to construct good lead generation through keyword research and be proactive in enlisting help if you don't know. Employ the services of a virtual assistant that can understand your intentions and needs and help keep your digital campaigns direct and to the point. These assistants can be found on Fiverr and Upwork.  Remote work is becoming the norm in today's digital online economy. Utilize your resources and don't be afraid to be different and creative.


Managing Your Fundamentals! Money, Money, Money, Money!

Online marketing is just like any other business - you need to run it by handling your money wisely and building it step-by-step. Rome was not built in a day and if your try and hurry the process, you will spend yourself into the poor house and thus your business financials will suffer. Do not spend all your revenue on products, training materials and seminars tickets while mortgaging your house, refinancing your auto and selling everything that is not nailed down. Your business requires revenue to operate in order to survive and without it you can't take your business to the next level.

Online marketing pays little at first but only after your business is stable and growing will you be able to achieve wealth, freedom, and growth at an exponential rate. That day will arrive, but before that materializes, you need to be realistic and endure today...otherwise, you will never see tomorrow.

Caring Is Sharing,  So Who Cares?

Credibility is what brings individuals to your website faster than any other form of marketing. In the digital marketing space it is difficult to show others that you are successful when you are just starting out. My friends and family will spout that bothersome question, "So how much income are you bringing in in your business now?" This is rather annoying, right?  You often wish these individuals would be quiet and just join your business or buy your product? Let me share a secret with you - a sincerely successful networker will not even hear this question asked by their prospects! The reason why candidates will ask you this question is because you have literally no credibility that gets leads and sales; credibility that gets you the ever important and lucrative referral business. Establish credibility early and establish it strong.

Before one can construct a large building, you need to construct the base first. You may take a long time to laying the foundation before you see even a single laid brick, but it is deserving of all the time in the world setting the correct foundation.  Your online marketing business is just like this scenario described.

Credibility can be accomplished by using testimonials, studies or test by recognized sources. Testimonials are tricky, you need learn how to use them correctly to be sure to get them right. Studies need to either be documentable or else done by a third party or acknowledged credible source.  Test fall under the same family; it isn't enough to say that studies prove this or that..., you need to provide the source that is credible as well.

Businesses that do not spend time building their credibility are likely to build their business on an unstable foundation. If you spend the time building your credibility and establishing your name or brand, you will find that building your business later on is much easier as you will not need to convince individuals again and again that you have what it takes to lead them to accomplish success. What is even more pressing is the fact that a strong credible business urges others to work harder for you and for themselves. If you are in a business without credibility, your potential clients and customers won't listen to you the least as well as will not buy products from you.

Duplication

Put a duplication system in place that is simple and reliable. Simple is the best life once again people. Simple enough for your team to follow, for we are not lone rangers in this quest to digital marketing. It is human nature to throw in the towel easily... only a select few will survive above all odds and fight for success, but in NETWORKING marketing, you will never survive alone.
The value of making sure your team and associates, regardless of how hardworking they are, could not even have the contacts like you and they will struggle to build their contacts as well. All the same, there is a way to duplicate the lead generation process and make it simple enough to replicate and get reproducible results day in and day out.

The email response process can be automated thus allowing you and your team to benefit from robotics that are more predictable compared to human nature. The fact that you can automate the process again and again without hitch is what this digital world is all about. The advantage is to be consistent across the board with technique and presentation. Show your team how they can produce desired results with systems such as AI and other digital tools for marketing. We are getting closer but their is still a ways to go in ironing out how we market our business online. Providing your clients with these tools can be a value to them as well as your company's success.
