I guess you are wondering what a positive mindset has to do with generating leads and income for your business.
If there is a problem with the Internet, it’s that many people tell you it’s “easy” to make money quickly. Actually this is not so. It’s not easy at all, particularly to the newbie or beginner. But it really is possible to achieve a good successful Internet Marketing business within a short space of time – if you work at it. I call it a ‘do-it-yourself’ Internet Marketing start-up.
It won’t come to your doorstep without a bit of effort, but it is possible, and it can be done, providing you get the right help and advice.
It’s crucial to understand that adopting the correct mindset is the key. This won’t happen overnight; you will need to work at it.
Some people are born with a positive outlook on life, but most of us need to work to develop it. You must learn to sustain a positive attitude to understand you can fulfill your destiny of becoming successful, and therefore wealthy. Show me a successful person who does not have a positive attitude…
We all suffer from doubt, but hey – it’s doubt that stops us from starting.
Truly believe, and you will succeed. You will deal with any obstacles in your path, and you will achieve whatever you set out to do. It’s called SUCCESS.
You need not be the most intelligent, nor the most talented person. But you DO need remain positive, and you DO need to TAKE ACTION.
Here are a few pointers to help you get there:
Daily Task Management
Write a daily ‘to do list’ of things you need to achieve during that day. Then as you achieve each of those tasks you can cross it off the list, and feel a great sense of accomplishment in the process!
Motivational Goal Setting
Motivational goal setting is pretty essential in any business, but I believe particularly so in Internet Marketing. So you will need to actually write down your goals for the next week, next month, next year, as well as your daily tasks.
Secrets of Goal Setting
There really are no goal setting secrets. Mind you, it’s important to set realistic goals, and not write down a zany sentence such as ‘I will be a millionaire by this time next month’. Keep your written goals as practical as possible, but they should stretch you a little at the same time, otherwise there is little point in performing this exercise.
Remember, the right mindset is your key to success. You CAN fulfil your destiny and become successful – and wealthy!
Begin with one small step
Don’t let others stand in your way
Walk your own path
Some may laugh – so what
Many will follow
Don’t ever give up
Educate yourself
Read motivational and self help books.
A recommended read is “The Midas Method” by Stuart Goldsmith. He writes a lot of common sense, and by the time you have gotten to the end of his book you will understand that “The Sky is the Limit”!
Another excellent eBook I would highly recommend is “Shattering the Myth” by Chris Farrell. It’s all about “Adopting the right mindset to make the Internet work for you”. You can download this eBook free at: http://www.maggie-recommends.com/shattering

3 Simple Steps to Find The Best Way to make money online
By Keith Everett
Making money on the Internet is not as complicated as people would have you think. You see, if you make it complicated, you can sell people as many so called WONDER cures as you want and many will buy.
But one of the real problems of the whole “Internet Marketing Thing” is people tend to over complicate things instead of taking time out to wonder, or if even to ask themselves… is there a simple solution to making money on the Internet
Now, I’m not saying it’s EASY.. Easy and Simple, are not the same..
As with anything worthwhile, making money online takes effort. Consistent effort backed up with a plan, not a weak PRAYER… Here is my simple 3 step formula for making money online, take this advice or leave it.
I have spent many months over-complicating things, thinking that “If you want to make money, you must do as much STUFF as humanely possible. In fact, I’ve spent hours and hours just doing STUFF… some days, I’ve done so much STUFF… I’ve felt like my eyes could BLEED watching this computer screen..
Doing lots of STUFF, does not make you great at making money – it just makes you good, at looking like you are doing something..
So what is this MAGIC, secret formula.. well, it’s not magic and it’s cetainly not a secret, just common sense really.
1) Find a market full of people who have problems that they need to fix… do your research online to find if this same group, also spend money trying to fix the problem they have.
2) Find out exactly what they WANT… not need. People tend to spend like mad on things they WANT, much more than on things they NEED.
3) Sell it to them… that’s right – sell them what they want…
The more URGENT the problem, the better and the more they think about their problem during the day – the better..
Example:
A) An itchy ASS… not very URGENT… annoying yes, URGENT – NO!
B) PILES… Very painful, pretty urgent
A) Back Strain.. mild discomfort – not urgent
B) Back PAIN… very urgent, will be thinking about this ALL day..
A) A Tiff with a Girlfriend/Boyfriend – not urgent
B) Heartbreak & Heartache… very URGENT… a solution is Urgently needed
I think you get my drift. There are a million and one problems out there each and everyday. People are looking for answers to pressing, painful problems, i’m not talking about problems the doctor can solve, I’m talking about problems – you can solve..
So, there you have it: Find a hungry market, feed it what it WANTS… keep doing this and you may just have solved one of your own problems.. it won’t be EASY, nothing worthwhile really ever is.

Oi You – Are You a GURU?

Oi You – Are You A GURU?
By Keith Everett…
I decided to write this brief article after listening to some comments over the last few weeks, about so called Guru’s.
It seems all the rage these days to BASH Guru’s… as we are bombarded with headlines like “The Killer traffic Secrets, The Guru’s Don’t Want You To Know” etc, etc (who are these Guru’s that DON’T want you to know all these things?) – and more recently on facebook where the term “Guru” was being used to comment on a well known Internet Marketer apparently becoming “more Guru like in the last couple of weeks”…. INSULT or PRAISE???
YOU Decide…
So exactly who (or what) is a Guru, how did they get this badge of honour (or shame) and does it all really matter?
Here are some web definitions of the word Guru.
1) A recognized leader in some field, or of some movement
2) A Hindu or Buddhist religious leader and spiritual teacher
The Guru – Chori Chori
There are other definitions but these are the two main ones - The word originates in sanskrit and is formed by the syllables gu and ru. Gu indicates darkness, and ru indicates destruction. Thus, when translated directly, guru means ‘dispeller of darkness.
OK, so for those of us in Business, Online or Offline, it would pretty much be 1) a recognized leader in some field, or of some movement.
So, how do you get to be a Guru in the first place and what are the implications of becoming a Guru (apart from being hated for being one).?
I would love to hear your thoughts on this… here are mine.
It seems people become Guru’s by being successful in their chosen field. They then have a large following of people, students etc who look to them for guidance & continuous tuition, growth, realisation etc..
By now, the Guru’s following is so large, he/she now has to automate the very things that endeared him/her to their audience in the beginning, hence undoing some of the great work they did in the first place to get this great following.
Let’s take this a step further. Most of us know about social branding, we create these recognisable images of ourselves to create a following. We network through social networks to gain friends & contacts. We want to be considered a “brand” to be trusted and we produce excellent services and products to meet the expectation of the “brand”..
We then become SUCCESSFUL!!! (this can mean different things to different people)… our following is growing DAILY by hundreds, if not thousands..
We are so EXPERT!!… even the Experts, call on us and want to PARTNER up with us… We are fast becoming a LEGEND… a GURU of ALMIGHTY proportions.
Then what happens?
AUTOMATION….. that’s what happens…
Being someone with so many followers, it gets to be virtually IMPOSSIBLE to sustain personal contact with so many people and you all get automated… gone are the email replies, the personal replies on facebook etc.. it all gets automated to customer services, and customer service assistants.
Hence, the slippery slope to Guruism (is that a word?)
I think one of the negative sides to our culture in the WEST is to build people up into heroes and then BASH them back down to earth when they are seemingly successful.
It seems you are allowed to get SO FAR in life, but if you are seen to be going beyond that point – you are then seen to be breaking some unwritten law, hence you shall be KNOCKED off your perch and PUNISHED..
I think, once a person of the PEOPLE, starts to become, in their eyes – a GURU – this is how or why I think RESENTMENT starts to set in.
So what can we do about it?
From a Guru’s point of view:
1) Don’t forget the very people who put you up there. You got where you are through personal contact, not customer services
2) People are the life blood of any business, shake a few hands every now and then and take two minutes out of your day to thank someone on your list personally for sticking with you.
3) Give your personal assistants & customers service reps a day off and get back to re-connecting with your customers every now and again
From a Customer/Student’s point of view
1) Don’t take it personally, most Guru’s are not really Guru’s at all, they are just busy people who are victims of their own Success, most of their time is spent creating great products and services to bring you.
2) Enjoy what you have learnt from these people and move on if necessary, tell them what you like by all means but DO tell them what’s NOT working for you, if they don’t know what’s wrong, they can’t fix it.. and if they know, but don’t fix it – move on..
Personally, I don’t really think Guru’s exist apart from in people’s minds.. Sure if you bump someone up enough and keep telling them how fabulous they are all the time, some might just start acting like ROCK STARS and believe they are some sort of SUPER GOD! but WE put them there in the first place so surely, if they behave that badly, why not just STOP buying their stuff!
Isn’t a Guru just someone we love to follow because they teach us GREAT things ?
Guru’s – people we give great power to, just so we can BASH them every now and again! lol

Are Your Headlines BORING People To Death?

Are Your Headlines BORING People To Death
By Keith Everett
Ah Ha… you had to look at that headline and click through, didn’t you? – you see the POWER of a good headline?
Now, whether you think that it is a good headline of not… , you still wanted to PEEK, didn’t you? With great headlines, comes great power… you are simply MAGNETIZING the reader to your content…
I see painfully boring headlines every day which could easily replace Horlick’s before bedtime and send you to sleep PRONTO!, but with a few TWEEKS here and there, even these could be BRILLIANT headlines..
After all, it’s the headline that stops the reader DEAD.. it makes them read (or REJECT) your piece. So why do most people spend so little time on the most important thing – the HEADLINE?
Some obscure rules to writing headline busting HEADLINES! by a Dumb ASS Copywriter… yes, ME
Firstly, I’m NO Expert – but I have read a lot of Copywriting Books by famous copywriters in my time, John Carlton, Gary Halbert, Claude Hopkins, Robert Bly etc and I do practice writing a lot of headlines…
1) Leave them FLABBERGASTED… Your headline must hook the readers into the sub headline or copy by SUCKING their very eyes into the words, like Eyeball MAGNETS!
It’s no good PUSSY FOOTING around: your headline is your BEST chance of getting your stuff seen… mess this up and you are Freakin DEAD!…..
2) Statements & Questions:
Ask KILLER questions or hit them with HOW TO’s, people love How To’s… even though I’m not a PRO copywriter, I still have common sense, and common sense tells me that your “How To Be A Millionaire” headline is NOT going to win friends or influence ME…. NO, I need something BIG…much BIGGER!
I get to see ads all day, every day… You have to stand out from the CROWD… and it’s a big crowd.
“How an Internet Marketing Dumb ASS, Did Everything WRONG and still made – a MILLION BUCKS!” - (How To)
“Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About SEX – But Were Too Afraid To Ask!” – (Outrageous Statement)
“Who Will You Take With You, On Your Free – Yes FREE, Caribbean Holiday?” – (Killer Question)
Benefits…. this is what sells. There are too many average, boring headlines out there that just state the bloody obvious, features – not benefits.
Don’t sell the SAUSAGE, sell the SIZZLE!
OK, sometimes when I’m doing an instructional video on tidying up the desktop or I have a guest blogger that wants to keep his/her low key headline in then that’s ok as it makes sense NOT to have every single headline on your blog or website DYNAMIC, this way the really super, SUPER headlines will stand out in between the boring ones.
3) HUMOUR…
This always goes down a treat, be a bit WACKY!…. I have noticed, people share my posts a lot more if there is some humour in the headline..
here are some of my recent headlines where I inserted a touch of humour:
Slick or SICK… you decide?
“Yesterday, I Poked Myself In The Eye With A PEN”
“How to Be An Internet Marketing Smart ASS In 3 Simple Lessons”
“Affiliate Marketing – How to Screw It All Up In Just 3 Easy Lessons”
“Look For PAIN & You Will GAIN, Then Find A Starving Crowd & FEED It!”
“How A SICK Internet Marketer – Finally Broke Out Of Hospital”
“How to Become A kindle eBook Publisher On amazon – And Stick Two Fingers Up At Stephen King”
“How To Always Have Great Content For Your website Or Blog – Even If Your Head Is A Content Free Zone”
“What’s Green & Slimey & Can Make You Money? – SQUIDOO!”
OK, so let’s sum up here.
1) Headlines in my view are the No1 thing we need to get right to get people to LOOK at what we have… we only have a second or so to get/keep their ATTENTION so make it count, to make your headline stand out you need to think of it as a headline to a text ad, amongst thousands of other ads on a page, What would you say to really STAND OUT….use attention grabbing words such as NEW, FREE, KILLER, WOW…. ATTENTION..
2) Desire – they have to really want to read on… the headline will cure or KILL it in SECONDS… make them curious, make them WANT to click though, show the BENEFITS briefly in the headline or TEASE them, give them a quick teaser… ”If you are the door, then I am the KEY – let’s unlock the PLEASURE!”…..
3) Appeal to a person’s FUNNY side, get Quirky, invoke curiosity with HUMOUR… don’t do this with every headline, you will OVERKILL it! but this definitely works
Lastly, we haven’t talked about Keywords yet… to get good rankings Keywords are VERY important in your headlines (and copy) BUT…. and it’s a big BUT.. don’t OVERDO it! the headline should not lose it PZAZZ! at the expense of Keywords,
Remember: A Keyword rich headline with no SPARK is a waste of time as people won’t read it anyway and therefore won’t read the copy… it’s better to have a good headline that gets attention, even if it hardly contains any keywords.. REMEMBER, the object at this stage is to be SEEN… once they are reading into your copy, then you can use more keywords.. but remember, at the end of the day, it has to make sense and be EASY to read.. don’t STUFF keywords into it Willy Nilly!
I hope you have enjoyed this piece on creating KILLER headlines, if you have, please do share or/and comment, it would be much appreciated
