5 Ways To Increase Your Authority Online

You’re eyes roll over as you stare at the shelves full of binders of formula’s, blue prints, system manuals, ebooks, CDs and DVDs.

You turn to your desktop...

It’s full of social media formula's and passwords to some launch that the same person is selling again – and with 90% discount.

Or even giving it away free with another paid product.

Internet marketing and “Attraction Marketing” hasn’t paved a way of hungry fans, leads, prospects, with credit card in hand – ready to pay you for your products.

And yet, you are still here.

One of the brave souls, the backbone of the Network Marketing and Internet Marketing industry who still buys, follows, learns.

You just wish you knew the missing link.

All the blogs you have or just one, with an opt-in form, auto responders and email newsletters – hasn't made a dent to the debts you've built up.

All that talk and articles about how to attract leads to you seems so far fetched.

Or is it?

Here's 5 Ways To Increase Your Authority Online...

For this to work, you will need to decide from this day forward who you are and where you are going.

No more chasing 10 different rabbits to create “multiple streams of incomes.” Instead, it’s time to master one...first.

Later you can leverage the experience and knowledge to make the rest work.

Here's where to start...

When we know..

• Who we are.
• What our values/purpose/terms are.
• What our skills set/passion - are
• Who our target audience is/are.
• What their needs are.

You will know what you’re selling.

It helps us to make it easy for the online community, your niche, your readers, fellow business owners to know...

• What we do.
• What we’re good at.
• What offers we provide. .
• Who we are aiming these offers at.
• Who they are not for.
• What our values, terms, policies we live by.

It pays to get our story sorted. Hey, don't worry if it's not tight....yet.

Everyday is a day we are always growing and tweaking.

At least you have got started!

This first step makes our brand crystal clear to ourselves and the world.

To commit is to stare fear in the face.  It is the first step that 97% don’t do because they wait for results first –BEFORE- belief.

Commitment isn’t saying, “I want to succeed” but “I can’t afford it.”

We are business owners not employees. We do not have this privilege to have people give us self-pity and nor do we want it.

You got self-respect, dignity and integrity.

YOU create your own check.

Decide - what you are going to do about “I can’t afford it” because no one cares about what we can’t afford and our sorry pitiful story.

No one cares why someone didn’t show up.

They care only that the person didn’t see it as a priority to turn up.

From this day forward, you will commit to investing, learning, mastering and become the best you can be in this niche.

That means staying focused to invest in...

• Magazines to become valuable to your niche.
• Book, Courses, training to sharpen the axe.
• Newsletters
• Webinars
• Seminars
• Cutting edge news

Become valuable and know more than your prospects do.

It don't take much because most people today are watching news, reading newspapers and you ALREADY know more than most.

You just don't know it yet and don't know how to market "one" problem solver, not 10, just one.

By becoming creative to find solutions for your problems – you will become a champion to feel, see, indentify the obstacles your audience face.

You will have skills, ideas will flow on how to help them remove these obstacles.

Say hellow to problems! Embrace them head one - instead of..

"I can't afford" and "I'm so, so busy."

Find a solution and you found knowledge, a way, a solution to sell to those who are so busy or need help with cash flow!

What would you say, if your 19 year old son or daughter said..

“Dad, mum, I have no money to on holiday?”

“You want a job because you want to have XYZ and it will remove the frustrations and pain of XYZ. Then here’s what you need to do next because it will remove XYZ and get to where you want to be. Plus – you won’t have me telling you what you can't or can afford. Freedom!"

Why would you say that?

Are you cruel?

You don’t care?

You greedy?

Maybe your son and daughter may think that for a while but I’m a father, and I say that to my son, to help him become financially literate.

I provide him the tools, the environment and it’s up to him to move forward or not.

My role is to help prepare him to WIN not SURVIVE.

For every “CAN’T” – I’ll give you 10 “CAN” solutions.

Here’s what this will do for your life and business:

• Business will grow to trust you and outsource to you. They want to see comittment.
• They see you're here for the long haul and it's not a hobby or projects. Trust!
• They see you have the same values or similar and want to network with you,
• You become "the man/woman who knows and CAN!"

We see so many lack humility and this closes the door to knowledge, resources, opportunities and most of all - for a leader to reach out.

When Wayne Hatter, a very skilful WordPress Consultant faced a challenge in marketing, he was at that line, most are at today.

He could have gone the other way and not be humble and fronted himself as some guru, expert and talked on forums on how he is successful.

Be he decided to be a student first and this got the attention of a Mentor that is on the other side of the globe. He’s in USA and his Mentor is in UK.

He didn’t say to the Mentor that he knows everything.

In 3 weeks, Wayne got his website, sales funnel, real life client testimonials launched. Fear struck him at first because of the sheer speed the momentum he was moving at.

“Is this for real? Is it happened? I got clients! I got my own products and offers! Wow! Can I handle it.”

Every time his Mentor moved him to another level and reminded him, “You CAN handle it.”

His Mentor created a gang of entrepreneurs to use Facebook Adverts and create a strategy to get him MORE clients! Humility does that.

That's a sign of a leader.

That’s starting in 4 weeks from today.

Wayne Hatter has found his path and found his purpose to create sales funnels, solve techie wordpress problems LIVE, 101 with speed.

His website and the packages were done in 3 weeks not 8 months or 2 years.

His clients are now saying what else they need as offers. Makes life easier for any home business who leads with solving problems.

For a beginner to get that type of attention - they'll need to create a word document file and implement these tasks below...

• Use one method e.g. Facebook, Twitter, blogs or forums.
• Observe, look at leaders who have similar values as you.
• Get engaged.
• Get on their newsletter.
• Engage in their articles and where they at.
• Buy one of their products or training.
• Implement what you learn – and document each step as notes.
• Have a list of reviews that hits at it from different angles.
• Post these reviews on your blog.
• Contact the leader and be honest, not kiss ass. Be sincere. Lead them to the reviews.
• Add it to your status and congratulate the leader for their product with link to review.
• Tweet it and add the leaders tweet I.D like this @twitter ID here.

What can this do for you?

• That leader has followers already.
• For years they’ve been building their list.
• They are always looking for TRUE testimonials that are from the heart and genuine.
• They’ll share your review to their list.
• Even…INTERVIEW YOU!
• The leader has clients, businesses, and can refer clients to you!
• You’re now in front of the thousands – EXPOSURE!
• Now, the door is wide open because of…HUMILITY!

That's what it means to GIVE.

This is giving with a strategy but from the heart and sincerity.

Not the, "Oh we do EVERYTHING for free."

Whatever mate.

I see a sales funnel and some products down the road, and the less you're transparent about it, the more tire kickers you'll attract.

It's not how big your list is but the qualification of the prospects on your....list.

Take a look at my FB and you'll see I don't have many friends because I say no to many. The few attract the many sales.

Let's accelerate this further...

Take all the list reviews, each page and put it into an ebook.

Show also the results, the good, the bad and ugly.

And end it with the good results.

Be TRUE and AUTHENTIC and not a kiss ass.

Be yourself and attract leaders who want the truth, so they can enhance their products, services, sales process. Have fun with it and be the student of your industry.

Take time to package your ebook professionally.

• Hire a designer to create a cover and make it professional.
• Create a set of video reports so the leader can post on their capture pages, their blogs.
• Create your own simple sales letter, add the video, with testimonials.
• Put an affiliate link in that ebook so when people download they can also buy that product.

What can this do for you?

• Your face is now shown in their circle of influence.
• The leader will talk about you to their..list with admiration of your discipline.
• They'll even lead them to that…one…simple sales letter page of yours.
• Your story is in their email and on their tweets and facebook status.
• It becomes part of a discussion on the leaders blog and their Facebook.
• Your list begins to grow.
• Cash flow baby. Cash flow!

What I’m sharing with you is affirming what leaders teach - when they say, the secret is...YOU.

It has never been any of what so many today think it is.

The secret are not:

• Your products
• Your company
• Your compensation plan
• Your system

The secret is and will always be….YOU.

Systems, facebook, twitter, online community forums, other social media tools only “amplify” who we are and what we have from the –inside.

There is where I looked at first.

Myself.

I was the problem, the one who needed to sort myself.

The excuses I gave many years ago on products, company, uplines, times, lack of money - where just that. Excuses.

They self sabotaged my life and my mind could not give me solutions.

I had to change and man, was it difficult at first because I didn't know how to change, what to change due to ego.

So most of my mess years ago as a teenager, as an adult were my doing. No one else but mine and in recognises this - the mind now began to help me.

My manners, my way of talking, my actions, my fierce attitude and focus - alerted leaders to want to help, to give, to teach and show the way.

Forget changing the world.

First you change and the world will make way for you.

If you have read this far, then congratulations.

You have some nuggets of what I applied through the years and all of which was never fancy. I'm a simple man.

Yes, geeky in system buildings and lazer sharp on the attitude and disciplines of focus but nothing I've ever achieved was because I was smarter than the other guy.

In fact, I leveraged what we all already have.

Here's a list to start with and just do these few steps..

You won't need to..

• Climb a mountain to some monastery to solve the problem.
• We don’t have to break the bank to create a $7.97 product to sell.
• We don’t have to have a full system to start with.
• We don’t have to impress anyone with hype.
• Or do crazy stunts to look like a hot shot.
• And do the frustrating things that are not you.

We complicate things and over think things, and make it so big, that fear paralyses us to act on the activities that create our real long lasting assets.

Keep it simple.

Don’t over think this.

Just do it and do it consistently and monitor what happens...
