This question was recently floated in a Facebook group I belong to, I took it seriously, thought about it responded with this:
“An audience I can be of valuable service to. To be of productive influence. To be artistically charismatic & interesting”
What might your answer be?
The last part of my answer pertains to my efforts & identity as a Musician, however, the reference to Audience & Influence extends far beyond musicality…
How can we expect to be successful internet marketers without our own audience, & without developing our influence over that audience? Indeed the goal is to become an authority in your niche.
I have been learning affiliate marketing for over a year & have built up an infrastructure that I’m proud of, however, the greatest challenge I’ve encountered is traffic generation. Perhaps you can relate to this?
Sending paid traffic directly to affiliate offers tends to be an expensive mistake & it dawned on me that affiliate marketing isn’t sustainable (or perhaps even achievable) without first developing a following of your own.
I’ve read time & time again that any successful affiliate marketer got there by first launching their own products, & then suggesting affiliate products to the audience they created to scale their business.
John Thornhill offers a superb coaching program that guides you to achieve precisely that. He is a coach & mentor to a great many marketers & master of his field: Partnership To Success
If creating your own digital products doesn’t yet excite you, another approach is to turn yourself into the product by becoming an Influencer & Content Producer.
This is viable if you have an existing audience who trusts & respects you.
Perhaps this audience is unrelated to Internet Marketing but if they appreciate your wisdom in other areas it won’t be hard to suggest the freedom & lifestyle benefits that come from making money online.
The trick is developing an edge & point of difference that grabs attention. To do that we need quality tools & resources.
Have you ever come across a “Conversational Landing Page”?
Automation is the name of the game in this industry & Chat Bots are considered by many to be keys to the Kingdom because they’re interactive, fun & capable of promoting multiple offers on your behalf.
Check out the flow of the Chat I’ve written to get a sense of what’s possible: Interactive Landing Page
If you’re interested in adding the power of Chat Bots to your arsenal you ought to look at the special offer available from Conversiobot
Another powerful resource I’m personally using is the daily targeted traffic provided by: The Click Engine
This is a community of like-minded marketers & online business owners, so the clicks you receive are from actively interested buyers hunting for tools & opportunities.
I’m sure you’re aware that list building is paramount.
To build lists we need to be creating valuable lead magnets & landing pages that are exceptional enough to stand out from the competition.
I’ve discovered Sqribble recently which is another tool to give you an edge.
Sqribble will create stunning eBooks & Reports for you in minutes.
This will rapidly optimize your creation of lead magnets & accelerate your list building. See it for yourself here: Sqribble
I trust the resources I’ve shared will be of genuine benefit to your business. On a final note, the key to knowing what you want lies in decisiveness.
We must take committed action if we are to pursue success.
If you feel decisiveness is not a strength for you I recommend you read an inspiring article by Bob Proctor which has been of positive influence to me personally:
