The 3 ZONES.
If you think about it, there are people out in the industry that are working very hard. They are doing seemingly all the right things and also making all the right moves.
But are they really?
Many people in this industry can end up frustrated and discouraged, as well as doubting this business works. Many people doubt because they have been programmed to live life a certain way and only that way. They bring that programming into their business and think they can make it work- when it does not work outside of their business.
WHY?
Simple.
They have been working their business in a “Zone” that may not be working for them. Many folks seem to work their Home Business in a manner, mindset, focus, expectancy, or mood that just does not work for them.
READ THAT AGAIN!
Many people work in a Zone that is not working for them. It has not worked outside of the Zone and they expect to work inside the Zone.
NOT going to happen and never will. Working in a Zone that does not have the capabilities of producing what you want is a waste of time as well as a waste of effort. But yet that still go into the Zone and expect it to somehow work.
What does that mean?
There are 3 ways or “Zones” that you can work this business, and depending on what Zone you are in, will determine what you achieve- or do not achieve- in your business.
What are those “Work Zones?”
1) “Working Backwards.”
Many people work this business- working backwards. They continually keep their eyes on what has NOT happened and where they are NOT going. They continually keep their view on looking behind them- and not in front of them.
Working backwards is “excuse oriented” and can keep you very frustrated and discouraged. You cannot work this business looking over your shoulder. You MUST look ahead- and look focused on where you are GOING- not where you have come from.
Working backwards will only tkae you back to what did not work- and who wants to go there?
2) Working “In Place.”
This is where you are “working in place” like you “run in place.”
You are busy, and you are working hard, and seem to be constantly in motion.
THAT is the challenge. You are not IN MOVEMENT.
You must be moving forward and moving towards Success, not just being busy. Do not “Work in Place” and think you can succeed. Get off the treadmill of activity and do the actions that GENERATE INCOME- not generate activity.
3) “Working Forward.”
This is the Zone you are IN MOVEMENT. You are doing the IGAs- Income Generating Activities- and not the actions that keep you busy. These actions are what produce your income that you pay your bills with, invest with, and enjoy life with. Actions like prospecting, contacting, presenting, following up, asking for the order, training, recruiting, among other actions that PRODUCE income.
These are actions that keep you “uncomfortable” as they are actions that STRETCH you and GROW you. These are actions that continually are looking at where you are GROWING- not just going.
That is the difference between Millionaires in Network Marketing and the average. The average are “working in place’ and in motion, while the Millionaires are “working forward” and in MOVEMENT and moving ahead to the Success they seek.
The average are BUSY. The Successful are are BUILDING.
READ THAT AGAIN.
The successful are doing what needs to be done- not what is comfortable and they feel safe doing these busy activities.
Which Working Zone are you in?
May I suggest the “Working Forward Zone” and nothing else.
You will be so glad you did!

I frequently hear clients and prospects lamenting that they don’t have enough hours in the day to do everything, never mind marketing too! (Of course, that’s before we start working together), and that their work-life balance is out of whack. On closer analysis, we often get to some root causes and the two I’m going to discuss in this article are common culprits.
Recently I came across some interesting research (see http://www.gmeurope.info/socialmedianewsroom/ archives/377-The-real-working-day-just-3-hours-50-minutes.html) where 1,000 UK business people were surveyed about their office efficiency. One of the revelations was that the average time we spend on constructive work each day only adds up to three hours and 50 minutes. Apparently office workers are wasting in excess of 20 working hours a week, 960 hours a year, costing UK businesses £140billion in lost labour costs. Phew!
The survey also revealed that 51% of office time is spent answering unnecessary phone calls and checking emails. Almost three quarters of those surveyed admit to sending an email rather than having a phone or face-to-face conversation. Apparently close to 40% of office emails travel less than 100 metres between sender and recipient. Does that resonate with you?
If so, please take note of the following top tips to avoid communication overload:
Phone Call Phooey
When did this trend to make ourselves (and demand everyone else be) available 24/7 start? That’s phooey as far as I’m concerned. There are perfectly justifiable times during even the work day when we should not take phone calls. For example: when in a client meeting (that’s just rude); when driving (dangerous and illegal); or on public transport (inconsiderate to everyone around you).
But what about when we are actually in the office? Let’s face it, at times we may be working to a tight deadline and really need to avoid interruptions. Perhaps we’re working on something technical that requires 100% concentration.
- There is nothing wrong with turning off the phone and letting voicemail pick up your calls. Just make sure that you have a decent outbound message, that you don’t leave the phone off for hours on end, and that you return any calls promptly.
- If you prefer not to divert calls to voicemail then let your PA or VA take your calls.
- Ban personal calls during work time.
And before you make a call, think twice. Do you really need to make that call? Are you asking for help on something that could be resolved by yourself rather than disturb someone else? Why not ‘google’ the subject, look in the client folders, or open the reference manual? This is a particularly common problem in offices where one person is perceived as the ‘go-to know-it-all’. It’s often easier to ‘just ask Jim’ than figure it out ourselves.
Email Inefficiency
It is so easy to be sidetracked by incoming emails every time that little popup arrives at the bottom of the screen, or the envelope appears in the toolbar. Here are some suggestions that work well for me:
- Don’t leave your inbox open all day. Rather schedule specific times that you will check emails and then close the programme again.
- Disable the pop-up that alerts you of new messages even when your inbox is closed.
- Create folders and set up rules so that email is pre-sorted and you can prioritise what to read without needing to scroll through hundreds of messages in your inbox. A simple start is having a folder and rules for ‘friends and family’ so that jokes, forwards, and Auntie May’s holiday pictures are available to view when you have time, but not distracting you from business communications.
- Create a separate folder for key clients, another for suppliers, etc.
- Hundreds of old, read messages in your inbox is untidy and probably adding to your perception of overload. Be ruthless: Delete them! If you think you might need to refer to them again down the line move them into another folder, but get them out of your inbox.
- Every month eliminate old emails from folders that you honestly know you will never refer to again.
- Don’t cc messages to people to whom the email is irrelevant. I have colleagues who are brave enough to delete emails (without reading them) if they are only in the CC line. They believe that if it was important to them, it would have been directly addressed to them.
- Don’t send emails to colleagues in the same office if the same message could be relayed in person. Plus we all need extra exercise …
Now that you’ve reclaimed all those lost hours be sure to put them to productive use. Ensure that you only do what leads you down the ‘quickest route to the money’, as my mentor is always reminding me. Your work day should be split between working with existing clients, and marketing to get new clients. Everything else should be delegated or outsourced.
CB radios emerged in the 70s as a popular method for communicating on America’s roadways. While not as mainstream as they once were, CB radios are still widely used by owners of trucks, jeeps, RVs, cars and motorcycles.
There are a number of alternatives to CB radios which include two-way radios, GMRS radios, HAM radios and business band radios. In order to choose a solution that best fits your needs, it’s important to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each available option. CB radios, like all the previously mentioned radio types, have a number of unique advantages and disadvantages that should be evaluated when considering a purchase:
Advantages
No Licensing Fees: Unlike some types of radios, CB radio operators aren’t required to obtain a license from the FCC. This makes CB radios a very convenient choice if you don’t want to hassle with licensing exams and requirements.
Widespread Acceptance: CB radios are the most widely used means of radio vehicle-to-vehicle communication on America’s highways. On virtually all major roadways, you’ll be able to hear activity on Channel 19, the most widely used CB channel. Whether you’d like to obtain traffic information, road condition updates or just strike up a friendly conversation, you’ll be able to on a CB due to the radio’s widespread use.
Cost Effective: It’s possible to purchase a complete CB radio setup (including a radio, antenna and mounting hardware) for well under a $100. On a cost basis, CB radios can match, if not beat, most radio options. Additionally, they are usually permanently installed in a vehicle which provides for additional convenience and professionalism.
Disadvantages
Restricted Range: Due to restrictions by the FCC, all 11 meter CB radios are restricted to 4 watts of transmission power. This usually limits a CB radio’s effective range to eight miles or less, dependent upon terrain and weather conditions. While CB radios are effective for short to intermediate transmission distances, they aren’t well suited for someone with long range communication needs.
Antenna Requirements: As all CB radios transmit with the same 4 watts of power, the antenna is the primary determinant of system performance. Subsequently, CB radios need to make use of large externally mounted antennas to perform well. As these antennas tend to run anywhere from 12 inches to over 5 feet in length, they can be impractical and inconvenient on many vehicles. While short antennas can and are used, they usually produce inadequate radio performance.
Permanent Installation: CB radios generally require a permanent installation due to antenna and performance concerns, and are not a practical choice when a compact and mobile means of communication is required. Handheld CB radios are available, but tend to provide sub-standard performance unless used with a long telescoping or external antenna.
Summary
CB radios are still a widely used means of communication, especially on America’s roadways. While not suited for everyone, they offer an extremely affordable and convenient way to communicate for those who understand the medium’s strengths and limitations.
Right Channel Radios specializes in CB radios and CB antenna sales. They carry a wide selection of CB products from manufacturers such as Cobra, Galaxy, Wilson, Firestik and K40. Their website hosts a CB Resources Library that contains a number of educational articles covering CB equipment selection, installation and troubleshooting.
Identity thieves are becoming more sophisticated with every passing day. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Identity theft can happen anywhere to anyone. In line at the store, online at home or when you’re buying your morning coffee. Identity theft is one of the most common problems that people face today. Any of your personal information can be used to commit the crime.
Identity theft-protection company Lifelock is in the news this morning. The company, headed by CEO Todd Davis, is known for its challenge ad (reproduced below) which has been running for a couple of years. Identity theft can happen anytime, anywhere, to anyone. Identity fraud has become a huge concern in today’s new age and even though precautions have been taken to correct the situation there has not been much success. In the US approximately 120 million citizens had their private records exposed in the last three years causing approximately 27 million Americans to become identity theft victims.
Identity theft in the most extreme cases allows people to get insurance in your name, open false bank accounts and even can provide a cover when arrested for other crimes. Ident-A-Kid’s Immediate Response Card systems utilize an extremely fast digital data acquisition system. A complete profile of each child, including fingerprint, photograph, height and weight, is acquired in less than 15 seconds. Identity theft is the most rapidly growing crime in the world. It’s now bringing in more money than drug trafficking.
Credit
Credit card fraud is the most common form of ‘identity theft.’ It threatens no liability and only a little bit of inconvenience to most consumers in the United States - consumers that are prudent, anyway. And I’ve never understood what these services would or could do to prevent or mitigate a true impersonation fraud. Credit card companies still sent actual credit cards in their pre-approval mailings and one was stolen out of my mailbox. A year later, I received a collection notice that over $2000 was charged at a retailer blocks away from my home. Credit card fraud is often confused for identity theft because of those clever commercials with the funny voice-overs but it’s really a walk in the park compared to identity theft. It won’t take just a few phone calls to clear it up either.
Credit monitoring is an afterthought. What credit monitoring is, is selling you your own data.
Credit Fraud
In the long run, credit fraud consistently hurts all of us. No one is totally absorbing these costs by themselves. They continually get passed on to the consumers. There are several fraud alert mechanisms that ensure that creditors notify you and verify your identity before any new line of credit is opened in your name. One of today’s most common mechanisms is the new and famous LifeLock.
LifeLock
You can protect your credit (and your family’s credit) with some outstanding features provided by LifeLock. At the time of this writing, there are even several websites offering LifeLock coupons. You can simply run a simple search engine query on “LifeLock coupons” and you’re sure to come across several sites to review and choose from. LifeLock is indeed a big name in identity theft prevention today. Some say it is a bit overkill, some say it’s exactly what they needed. Review the information carefully and you decide.

Literature and storytelling have been at the heart of culture for hundreds of years. Before the printing press it flourished orally, passing through communities and generations in the recesses of memory. It was adapted by each teller, and recorded according to their preferences as they retold it to their audiences. Oral masterpieces - Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, the anonymously written Sir Gawain and the Green Knight - were never recorded in definitive versions by their authors. As time and technique drove on, forms of printing were established, so that authors could record their work. Generally speaking, the earliest forms of production was woodblock printing, which dates back to 220AD. The earliest surviving forms can be found in China, with similar types from Egypt. In Europe, block printing was common practice by 1300.
Even during early modern history, then, literature and storytelling can be seen as synonymous with the destruction of habitats; every piece that was block printed required wood for the process. But this reached a larger scale in the European industrial revolutions, when mass printing - similar to the forms in which we know it today - required the pulp of vast numbers of trees as demand for printing increased. To this day, then, the mass production of printed literature means the mass pulping of the world’s natural habitats. It is becoming apparent that the world of literature - from its readers and writers, through to its producers and distributors - needs to offset this trend; as the world becomes more concious of its environment, so the book world must, too. One website, named ‘Green Metropolis’, has been leading the field for a number of years.
There caption, “Where Books Grow Trees” is a perfect encapsulation of the problem and solution: to offset the production of books with the recycling of old ones. They have also made the endeavour commercially viable; each and every book that is sold through the website costs just £3.75, and postage and packing is free. It means that it can attract customers looking for a bargain, before connecting them to the cause.
They also buy used books for £3.00, meaning that they make a margin of profit, whilst keeping a circulation of books recycling amongst the websites members.
And their commitment grows stronger, as the website outlines:
“By recycling used books not only are we saving existing trees, we’re actually planting new ones. How? GreenMetropolis.com donates 5p for every book sold to the ‘Tree For All’ campaign run by the Woodland Trust.” The Woodland Trust - endorsed, as outlined above, by Green Metropolis - is dedicated to the conservation and preservation of the UK’s native woodland. It has four main aims: 1) No further loss of ancient woodland. 2) Improving the biodiversity of our woodlands. 3) Increasing and restoring native woodlands. 4) Increasing people’s awareness and enjoyment of woodland. Green Metropolis, along with its compulsory donation of 5p for every book sold, encourages its members to donate too, from the books they sell to the website. So they keep a constant circulation of used books away from the litter bins, and invest in the growth of new habitats. It is a website then, that encourages community and an active role in the environmental protection of the UK. Buy a Book. Plant a Tree.

As a professional business manager, I have often experienced the fact that the essential success of any organization ultimately rests on the rudimentary aspect of completing projects successfully. I have handled several projects for my organization, a majority of which have been largely successful. So, when I happened to glance at a PRINCE2 training course, a natural question that sprung up was why another training programme? After all, having been in the field for quite some time and I was more then familiar with most aspects of how to run a project.
The key factor that lured me into going for the course was the ever-increasing need in the present-day business world to define general processes for any project. To work out a successful strategy for every project is increasingly unfeasible, with time being a massive constraint. So here was a training program that promised a generic and simple method that can be tailored for any given project. Developed by the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA) of the Office of Government Commerce (OGC), Government of UK, primarily to address IT project management, PRINCE2 has enveloped a vast array of non-government and non-IT sectors in modern times, chiefly owing to its robustness.
As any project manager would readily agree, a project involves a blending of resources and skills with technology and ideas, and ensuring good product delivery. All of this operates within the twin constraints of time and risks. The framework of PRINCE2 addresses all these concerns effectively. It is an essentially process-oriented method that breaks up a project into manageable chunks of work with resource prioritization and role allocation being well defined. Another immense strength is the change that could be engineered in a project, midway, if warranted. Once I had finished reading what PRINCE2 had to offer me, I booked onto the course straight away.
At the training, I had a wonderful learning experience getting to know about the algorithmic approach of PRINCE2. Starting from the project launch, where a project team is formed and a direction is established, there is a clear sense of purpose that is inherent in the methods. Planning and initiating a project, the crucial ideas of directing it and controlling its constituent stages, and finally ensuring a fine work-package delivery are all elaborated upon in fine detail, supplemented by suitable case studies. Even for a reasonably seasoned manager like me, there were some facets that sounded exciting and novel.
Since the training, the difference I have observed in my workplace is remarkable. A definite improvement in the way projects are handled has resulted in much better results. It is not said without reason that there has to be a prefect balance between planning and execution for a project to succeed. With PRINCE2, the methods are largely simplified, owing to its well-directed layout, and things fall into place. The specifications of key inputs and the desired outputs with specific plans and activities to be performed - all have an inbuilt self-adjusting mechanism in case the project needs to be changed midway.
The training and accreditation can be undertaken in two ways. For managers already well into their job, there is the option of self-study and then sitting the exam. Or there are training organizations that provide the required training and examination.
On the whole, PRINCE2 is almost a necessity for a successful business professional to learn the nuances of efficient project management. The adaptability of PRINCE2 across a spectrum of projects, while factoring in the complexities and skill levels of the organisation, has proved to have a positive impact on me, by enhancing my career skills by several notches and enabling me to fulfill my organizations goals.

Regular subscribers to my e-zine The Marketing Edge will recall my previous articles about how to network (Networking That Produces Results (See http://www.zee2a.com/MarketingEdge/ eZine080101.html#TOC2, also published on iSnare.com) and where to network (Are You Fishing in the Wrong Pond? (See http://www.zee2a.com/MarketingEdge/ eZine080415.html#TOC2, also published on iSnare.com). This third article in the series uncovers the mistakes to be avoided if our networking is to produce outstanding results.
Now that you have the how and where all nicely in hand, the last thing you want to do is allow your investment in time, money, and credibility go down the drain by committing any of the following Seven Deadly Sins of networking:
Sin #7: Data dumping
This involves ‘dumping’ the data from all the business cards you’ve collected onto your newsletter distribution list or other marketing list without that person’s consent. I don’t know about you, but I get really annoyed when I suddenly find myself receiving a host of different e-zines that I didn’t ask for, after attending a networking lunch. Just don’t do it!
Sin #6: Trying to sell before building a relationship
Networking is first and foremost about building relationships. We talk a lot about the ‘know, like, and trust’ factor with good reason, so offering your sales-pitch prematurely is pushy and off-putting. Focus on getting to know people first. Play ‘Marketing Relay’ (Principle 1 in The Seven Principles of Professional Services Marketing—see http://www.zee2a.com/7principles.html) by going around the ‘track’ systematically. Remember that if you launch into a selling conversation too soon, you drop the ‘baton’ and have to start again.
Sin #5: Being the centre of attention
We all enjoy talking about ourselves, especially when we have a captive audience, but I can’t stress this point enough: You have to share the attention. No one likes a blabber-mouth who never shuts up or lets others have a word in. Allow others enough opportunity to talk, and really really listen to them. As Toby Keith states so well: Sometimes I wanna talk about ME! (you’ve got to watch this vid! See http://youtube.com/watch?v=cYrlzEUuBIM)
Sin #4: Spreading yourself too thinly
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: focus on Quality vs Quantity. To make a genuine success of your networking efforts and get tangible value out of it, you simply have to be an active, visible member of the group/s to which you belong. If you are attending too many different events too frequently, you will have no option but to compensate in other areas. Either by working longer hours than necessary to catch up on your work backlogs, or by committing the #1 Sin …
Sin #3: Being unprepared
This is another major contributor to committing the #1 Networking Sin. Being prepared has many guises: You must ensure that you have sufficient supplies of business cards, a pen, notebook and your diary (or PDA). How embarrassing if the opportunity to set up an appointment arises and you don’t have your diary, or you have run out of business cards before a conversation with the CEO of one of your major targets.
You must also be prepared with something interesting to talk about. Do you know how to make small talk? Have you read something in the business news or an industry journal that you could use?
Another area where being unprepared, or badly prepared, can wreck your credibility and opportunities for networking success - is not having a decent Verbal Signature. You may call it an elevator pitch, a cocktail speech, or simply your 60 second intro. If your message is garbled, too fussy, overly creative, boring, or simply unclear then you will have to work so much harder to achieve your goals. We make an impression within that first sixty seconds, so ensure that it’s a good one.
An exercise that many of our subscribers, and all of our clients have gained tremendous value from is working through the audio programme Transform Your Networking With a Verbal Signature(TM) (see http://www.zee2a.com/freestuff.html) and its accompanying workbook. If you haven’t done so yet I suggest you make it your number one priority after reading this article. Download it from the private subscriber’s area on our website. If you aren’t a subscriber yet, then go to our homepage (http://www.zee2a.com/), input your details into the signup box, and you will receive a link to that download page.
Sin #2: Poor information gathering
This doesn’t mean that you didn’t collect enough business cards - it means you failed in gathering relevant information to support what is printed on those cards. Who is the person behind the name? What do they do (that the card doesn’t tell you)? How will you remember what they look like when you bump into them again? What information have you obtained to help you in building a relationship with them? What did you talk about? This is one place where your pen and notebook become more than unused props at the event. In fact never mind the notebook even - scribble some info right on the back of the business card. As an example, if I just met David at an event, the notes on the back of his card might be something along these lines: ‘Bald. Handsome
South African. Sat next to me at lunch. Planning huge business expansion.’ - get the idea?
If your information gathering is deficient you have also undoubtedly committed other ’sins’ too and will almost certainly go on to commit THE NUMBER ONE DEADLY SIN of networking:
Sin #1: No Follow Up!
There are a number of ways to follow up with a networking contact (which I’ll address in a future article and in great detail at our seminar next month) but a simple idea is to send an email or a postcard with a ‘nice to meet you’ type message. Or pick up the phone and say the same. These are such easy, well mannered, gestures that it’s a real pity that less than 1% of networkers actually do this. But I assure you that those that do reap the rewards.
Credit Ratings. Everyone is talking about them and they are a very important aspect of every adult’s life. But what are they exactly, and how are they determined? It all starts with a credit card, checking account, or bank loan. Once you get any of these, the business which gave them to you reports information regarding the loan (such as your payment history, the amount, if it’s in good standing, etc) to a credit agency. The agency then makes a credit report for you, which can be accessed by other businesses (and yourself as well). Your credit rating is determined based on this credit report. Any bad marks on your credit report will stay with you for 7 years, affecting all aspects of your financial life.
A bad mark on your credit report usually starts out as late or missed payments to the creditor. Perhaps you’ve missed a credit card payment or you can’t make your mortgage payments. Eventually the creditor will decide that there is such a small chance that they’ll get you to pay your loan, they will sell it to a collections agency. The collections agency can get defaulted accounts for a small fraction of the actual value. In return the creditor is able to write off the money lost. If this happens, the creditor will let the credit report agency know and the credit report will get the lowest possible score. This score can stay with you 7 years!
If this has happened to you, there are things you can do to help the situation. First, if a collections agent has contacted you, call the creditor right away. Discuss ways to pay your debt with them directly, not through the collections agency. If you somehow pay the debt immediately, they will often be willing to remove the bad mark from your credit report, saving your credit rating!
If the creditor won’t do this for you or you can’t repay the debt to them, then you’ll have to work with the collection agency. Take your time to think about all of the options available to you before you make your next decision. At this stage the mark on your credit report can’t get any worse, so you have some time to think. Collection agencies are aggressive and will contact you repeatedly, demanding you pay your debt in full or face them in court.
Don’t forget that the collection agency most likely got your account for half of what it really was, so if you pay more than this they will make a profit. Offer to pay less than the full amount immediately. Often the collection agency will agree to avoid a long, drawn out process.
Let’s recap what we’ve discussed. If you need to quickly repair your credit, first attempt to pay the creditor back directly. If this isn’t possible, then offer the collection agency a full payment of less than the full debt amount. If this doesn’t work, only pay the full amount if absolutely necessary.

Using email marketing to enhance the traffic and sales to your website can be a confusing process if you don’t understand the psychology of the market. Email marketing can actually be a very effective tool in promoting your website if you know how to make them stand out.
Your main objective in your email marketing is to get the reader to take action, right? It is really pointless if you have a list and email to that list and when they open up your email they do not click on the link within your email. Your ultimate objective for building a list is to get them to click on the link in that email. Michael Cheney refers to a process he describes as the “list building chain.” There is a process rendered that builds trust and it is one link building upon another. In short, he refers to the first link of the list building chain as getting traffic to your website. That is followed by an opt-in page and actually getting them to opt-in. The next link would be receiving an email from you after opting in. Opening up the email would be the next successive link and the final link is that the individual takes action by clicking on the link placed within the email.
To be effective in your email marketing the first step is to put yourself in the shoes of your customer. What is the first thing you notice when you receive an email? You notice the subject of the email. When creating the subject of the email and to get the reader to open up that email it is important that you implement what is known as the “power of you” or the power of the word, “you.” There is not a more important word or word that people like reading more, in marketing, than “you.”
Consider the following two examples:
“I just found this great program that will be generating me a lot of cash through my blog. This program will change my life by giving me not only more financial freedom but freedom of Time too. I’m so excited about this program that I can’t wait to put it into action and make a lot of money with it.”
Now how does that make you feel? You probably feel, “Who cares? It’s got nothing to do with me.”
“You’re really going to love this new method that I’ve discovered for you. You’re going to discover exactly how you can make a lot more money on the internet, and you’re going to be able to explode your earnings and make so much more money for yourself. You’re going to have a lot more free time and you’re going to be rich beyond your wildest dreams.”
How does that sound? It sounds a lot better, right? It’s pretty much the same thing, but what have I done? I changed the wording and made it about you, and that’s what you need to do in all your marketing. Start using “you” more than “I” “me” or “myself.”
It has been statistically proven that the more times you can include the word “you,” the more times people will actually buy from you. This is because it speaks to them; it reaches out and touches somebody.
As you create emails look at the content and especially the subject line and “you-i-fy” it. Use the word
“you” and place “you,” “your” and “yours” in as many places as you can. It is important to occasionally give background information to build the story about who you are, where you’ve come from and why you’re marketing online. More importantly, though, you should answer their questions and help them overcome the issues or problems that they face.
Another important attention grabber is using a person’s name in the subject line. Nothing is more important to them than their own name. Auto responders have what is known as a “first-name tag.” When you place the first-name tag it will use their name so that it appears with the greeting as, “Hi John” or “Greetings Beth.”
A final suggestion in writing an email that creates cash is using curiosity. Humans are very curious creatures. We like to know what’s on the other side or what the secret is. You can use this idea to your advantage. Ask a question in the subject like, “Do you know the answer to XYZ?” “Can you guess what this is?” or “What does this sound like?”
You can even write a half-sentence, “The biggest mistake online is….” and then they need to open it to actually find what the biggest mistake online is. You can even combine these methods by using the word “you,” their first name and curiosity in one line, “John, this is most important to you. It’s called…”
These are some tools and text devices that you can use to make sure that people are actually going to read your email. Test these ideas and see if your emails don’t start creating the response you desire. Taking the time to conduct these tests can make the difference between an effective email marketing campaign and one that is a flop.
