Think very carefully about the impact of Covid 19 on small business owners! Both in Auckland, New Zealand, and in Sydney, NSW, Australia. Even with government subsidies for wages support. It’s never enough.

How has Covid affected businesses? The delta variant of coronavirus has an extremely negative impact and adverse effects. The total numbers of customers shopping are greatly reduced. You can only buy essential items. That means that shops are losing a lot of their normal financial turnover. The population is mandated to stay at home. Minimal exercise is allowed. Essential workers can continue.

So if you do decide to switch over to an Internet based business, simply click here to start. If you want to make up for your financial losses, you’ll have to consider an online business. Simple.

New Work skills now required in this era of remote employment, and self employment, include copywriting and Internet marketing skills. Enjoy the transition.

Productivity During Covid19 Lockdown

Work at home remotely. Surprising Boost in personal productivity with remote work! Covid19 lockdown scenarios lead to creative new adaptation to work/home environment. Positive outcomes for all. Geoff Dodd.

Your personal productivity can be increased during the current Covid19 Lockdown. How so? The delta variant is so infectious, that you’ll need to stay indoors. Work remotely. Work from your home base. Comforts of your choosing are so close at hand! What’s your favourite beverage? Snacks and chocolate …

How to increase personal productivity

It is human nature to make simple concepts harder than they really are. We’re all guilty of it.

Let’s look at 5 things you can DO to increase your online business productivity in a simple way, and profit from the changes:

  1. Network: Make other marketers or individuals in your particular niche your friends by helping them out and then you can rely on them when you need help. The logical question to ask is: “why is networking such an important aspect of online and offline business?” Well, there are three concrete reasons why networking is an essential component of a successful business.

• First, working from home leaves you sitting all by yourself, which essentially means you can feel lonely and unmotivated. A friend or a group of friends can serve as your moral support system that guides you throughout the most difficult days and can offer you advice.

• Secondly, you can find help quickly. For example, you may be having a hard time formatting an ebook or getting that widget to cooperate with you. Just call up a friend who is an expert, and your problem is solved.

• Lastly, Promotional purposes. Just think about where a business would be without friends. They spread the word and get your products or services into the minds of others they’re in contact with. Next time you get 5-10 emails from your friends promoting one of your products you can undoubtedly conclude that you have done a good job networking. Remember, business is all about growth and that means spreading the word and pushing your ideas.

  1. Build a list: The money is STILL in the contact list. A bigger list means you have more promotional opportunities. If you do not already have a list then get working right away – Like right now!
  2. FOCUS: In today’s business environment the lack of focus is just shocking. Just when things get rolling or when there is a minor bump in the road people tend to completely lose focus on what is important. So please just STAY FOCUSED. This will play a significant role in your success.

Remember, slow and steady does not necessarily have to be the same as staying focused. Staying focused just means that a task is completed and that the primary goal is not neglected.

People constantly jump ship when things get tough and begin a new task because they don’t have the discipline, and then ask, “why am I not successful?” Seriously! Isn’t it obvious?

Listen closely: the key is to pick just ONE task. For some, this might be rather difficult, which is why it is probably a good idea to remove all distractions, create a work schedule, and be fully engaged in that one particular task. Laser focused.

The positive mindset that will help you make this easier is as follows:

Sharper focus = more money

  1. ACT: This should be rather obvious, but many men and women fail to realize that they simply need to create a goal, create action steps to reach that goal, and then follow through with those action-based steps.
  2. Produce: Just think about this for a moment. Is someone more successful if they buy lots of products or if they PRODUCE lots of products?

This can be better understood by thinking about ONE product versus 100 products. If you produce 100 products, you will likely have some products that flat out fail, but that’s a good thing because it allows you to get an idea of what people want. In addition to that, a few of those 100 products will indeed be successful, which will help you and your business gain valuable recognition — while boosting your overall growth. So don’t be afraid to take the leap.

7 Eye-Opening Strategies to Skyrocket Affiliate Sales!

Strategic breakthroughs shared by top 1% earners. Listen very closely… Super Affiliate strategies will increase your affiliate sales and monthly profits, no question.

What are the specific strategies affiliate sales need to reach astronomical levels? Here Geoff Dodd collates and combines 7 specific strategies and tactics of known super affiliates. Guys like Ewen Chia and Bryan Winters. Top copywriters, too. What the hell are these top performers doing? Spill the freak’n beans, man! C’mon!

Copywriting Strategies For More Affiliate Sales

Copywriting skills. You must learn to write persuasively! It still blows my mind when I study copywriting and watch videos on YouTube by Jon Benson and Ray Edwards and Roy Furr. These 3 gentlemen know stuff. They’re all A-level, proven, top copywriters. They’ll teach you how to solve pain points: define the problem, agitate the emotional pain, offer a superior solution, and gently call your prospect to take action!

Psychological triggers. This is a tiny subset of copywriting skills. I just want to sneak this topic in. It’s the trigger words you use, often placed at a point of decision. i.e., just above or below a ‘buy now’ or ‘continue’ or ‘add to cart’ button. Here’s a web page with good thinking in its psychological trigger placement.

Hint: by the way, your keyword and key phrase selection is another aspect of psych triggers. Think of ‘buyer keywords’ as the thoughts in the head of your future, prospective customer. Always use the words, “best price on __” and “discount on __” as well as “review of ___” because it’s statistically proven that 86% of millennials use these search terms, about daily.

Preselling To Boost Your Sales

Preselling. Oh so important. No longer can you get sales by direct linking to, say, a Clickbank or JVZoo sales page. You’ll need to ‘prepare something in the middle.’ Between your ad and your affiliate link. This is preselling. A warm-up, trust building page, for your ‘cold market’ inquirers. Ewen Chia, pioneering super affiliate gives you a free PDF special report on preselling. This is a critical lesson to learn in strategies for higher affiliate sales online.

There are 17 free PDF e-Books on that internal page. Most of them are about how to increase your affiliate sales. The writers are Ewen Chia, Patric Chan, (super affiliates) and Geoff Dodd on psychological topics; e.g. on reprogramming the subconscious mind for higher performance.

Strategic Use Of Automation Software

Automated Funnels. This is the strategy behind most of Bryan Winters’ prolific business success as a super affiliate. Bryan gives away a free marketing funnel. Affiliates need to activate the funnel. They do this by inserting their Clickbank nickname or personal ID. Add in a ‘list name’ from either Getresponse or Aweber autoresponder service. Buy the first digital product in the funnel for just a measly $19.90 and you’re activated and set to go …

The digital products are thoughtfully selected to help affiliates promote their offers. They work. That’s all part of an integrated design. It is viral and self-multiplying …

Simple Business Plan

Simple planning. All the elements are there. You just need to integrate them. Answer a few basic questions about your proposed Internet-based business. Simple business plan. These planning questions need to be revisited about once a week, for a team review. Check your direction and progress towards short, medium, and long term goals. What works now? You need to question exactly why you are doing (strategic and tactical) things!

Motivation To Meet Sales Goals

Motivation: keeping a high mood and a positive mindset. Please read our business motivation page. Why is motivation important? To keep up your rate of attaining sales goals. Also, consider taking a peek at Geoff Dodd’s Nuclear Psychology kindle e-Book on Amazon com.

Increase Targeted Web Traffic

Massive laser-targeted Web Traffic: To ensure a speedy outcome of strategies affiliate sales increases – into the stratosphere, you’ll require John Crestani‘s course. Or Vick Streizous. (Four per cent). Sorry guys and gals. Paid traffic is essential for the highest millionaire goals to be attained. I’ve tried SEO for over 23 years. A quarter of a damn Century. You will have to learn how to do paid advertising at large sites: Google Ads or Facebook Ads. Microsoft has one with less traffic.

There’s a reason for this extra study. The problem revolves around the level of competition in pay per click advertising. Your direct competitors might click your PPC ads. This uses up your budget. You need to know what to do. There is also a question of accurate click tracking. You’ll need to exclude robot clicks. (AKA ‘bot clicks.’) Here’s a tool for accurate real tracking of clicks.

Find A Mentor: Online Affiliate Marketing

Finally, Find a Mentor: You can spend half a darn Century, learning Internet marketing by trial and error. Go on, make thousands of mistakes, all by yourself! Do it. Just like me. Or… you can find a mentor and skyrocket your affiliate sales with smarter strategies, quicker. That is the smartest thing you can do today.

That last suggestion is perhaps the most important step of all. Match up with an experienced marketer who has been there before. Credentialed. Someone who understands the millionaire mindset from first hand experience. Someone from deep in the trenches. You need their “how to” do it knowledge, desperately!

Or, just read every darn word in the free courses on offer here at our online business school. I’ve got you covered. Let us help YOU accelerate your affiliate sales. Get the bottom line exploding with outstanding profits. Your future’s exciting. Picture your financial goals and desires manifesting right now before your eyes. Do it today.

Focus: The First Mindset Hack

Sohail Khan – The Joint Venture Expert, was recently interviewed by Adam Cox in the UK. Sohail starts with focus on one thing. Become the ‘best in The World’ at that one thing. Watch this amazing video of my friend Sohail’s interview:

 

Sohail Kahn focused on joint venture partnerships. He runs a fantastic JV sharing group in Facebook. Sohail says that his influences have included the esteemed Tony Robbins (for focus), Jay Abraham (marketing), and Jay Conrad Levinson. (co-author: Guerrilla Marketing and Joint Ventures).

What is a Joint Venture?

A joint venture is a collaboration between two companies. They usually share each other’s audience. A common customer base. An example is a luxury car manufacturer and a luxury home builder. Another example, cited by Sohail, is a luxury tile maker, and high quality bath and spa pool makers. The two companies can form a relationship. They can combine, to do marketing together. So, to focus on just one thing, is the first of our millionaire mindset hacks. Get really good at it.

“Don’t spend your time acquiring possessions. Spend your time acquiring experiences!” ~Sohail Khan

Imagination: Millionaire Mindset Hacks

Einstein has been famously quoted as saying, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” “Imagination will take you everywhere…”

Here is our earlier collection of 22 business motivational quotes to enhance your mindset growth. Why do you think motivation is so critically important?

When solving a problem for mankind, your imagination will take you the furthest. The budding millionaire business person must stretch the mind and solve a problem for the marketplace. Solve it for a specific audience. Exercising the human imagination is the second of our powerful millionaire mindset hacks. Here is a wonderful compilation video from my YouTube friend, Evan Carmichael:

 

Using your imagination, you have to offer them something better. A vision of “that which cannot be seen.” A definite goal and a definite plan to accomplish the goal. (using the words of Napoleon Hill, 1937.)

We determine who we are by what we think about. Watch your thoughts. That process creates who we are becoming. Now focus again on the affirmations: The future is exciting. You can do magic. Something wonderful’s going to happen. Money flows to me effortlessly now. “I believe I deserve $1M in 30 days!”

Reverse engineering the millionaire mindset hacks to deliver requires one more process: Focus on repeating this into your creative imagination:

 

One million dollars is divided by 365 days in a year to show you $2,740 revenue is needed each day. The video breaks the numbers down. Reverse engineering can reduce it further to $114.16 per hour. That is, on a 24/7 basis. It is quite doable. With automated lead generation, targeted Web traffic and conversion.

 

Finally, apart from the motivational and psychological side of millionaire mindset hacks, I’d like you to keep in touch. We’ve shared some amazing business ideas here. Using your mind’s laser like mental focus. Visualizing from the powerhouse of the mind’s creative imagination. Collaborating in joint ventures! That is a wonderful start. Let’s continue…

Strategic business startup needs early input from a Mentor and ongoing coaching. Attain outrageous success online. Traffic and Conversion focus with Geoff Dodd.

Need a business mentor? Is your startup getting kind of scary? Cash running away? Here’s how to find a mentor online at low cost. In fact, the ‘cost’ is more a question of time spent learning. How much time are you wasting, not turning to an expert for quality mentoring?

Organizations like SCORE in The United States offer “mentoring services provided at no cost to you.” Then we read that there are “fees ranging from $50 to $3,000, depending on seniority.” They state that this “helps to fund the program” and perhaps to qualify new “mentees.”

Well, my intention is to offer you free mentoring. On one condition: that you follow my recommendations! Here is one resource that blows the rest away. You see, online marketing businesses all work on the critical imperative of understanding “what works NOW.” (That is the evergreen question that marketing legend, Jay Abraham, always asks!)

The focus of any and all Internet based businesses must be: Traffic and Conversion. I know that Perry Marshall adds ‘economics.’ He’s right. Your startup business must bring in more revenue than it spends. Simple.

Why is Motivation Important

Motivation drives your employees to success. Think about incentives and rewards. Goal success needs a positive approach. Motivation determines employee productivity, quality and speed of work. Psychology is the answer!

Answer: Why is motivation important for business managers? Because you want to energize your office staff and employees. You want tasks completed quickly. Objectives met. Goals achieved efficiently. Motivation is your key factor. You’ll have a close eye on productivity.

Theory of Why Motivation is Important to Business

The 1954 book by Dr. Abraham H Maslow, PhD, Motivation and Personality, Brandeis University, is still the authority in this writer’s mind. Maslow explained how people are first motivated by physical and physiological needs; then by psychological needs. That is:

Physiological Needs:

Humans first need a balanced diet, water, and a warm, sheltered home to rest and sleep in. The temperature range needs to be one we can survive in. Removal of painful stimulus and protection from predators and human enemies. These are very minimal, basic needs.

Psychological Needs:

Dr. Maslow was the first psychologist to clearly outline these social and psychological needs:

  1. The need for a feeling of safety and security. That is, reduction of fear and anxiety. Emotional comfort.
  2. The need for a feeling of love and belongingness. Acceptance into a group. Identity.
  3. Needs for self esteem and the esteem of others.
  4. The need for self actualization. That is, self realization and the expression of hidden talents, aptitudes and abilities.

We can understand others better, when we view their behaviour through this model. Maslow called it the hierarchy of human needs. Need gratification starts from the bottom of the pyramid, or hierarchy. It rises to the top. With sensitivity, you can see which needs a person is striving to satisfy.

Practical Ways Managers Can Motivate Employees

Supervisors and mid level management need training in these ideas. Human needs and motivations are not always apparent and clear to see. People tend to be egocentric. They might be feeling tired, frustrated and angry. Their vision is then clouded. Thought comes first. A good theory like Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs can work wonders!

Always treat employees with respect. They are learning. Praise them when they get something right. Show due respect and appreciation. Always be positive in your attitude.

Use Rewards and Incentives to Motivate Workers

Productivity will rise naturally when you use a positive approach to encouraging your employees. Don’t go off the deep end. Don’t express anger or disgust. Maintain the dignity and mutual respect of all persons concerned.

Offer incentives. Say, for example, “if you get all this work completed by tonight, you’ll get a bonus.”

“If I’m completely satisfied with the quality of your work, and the speed, I’ll give you an amazing Christmas party!”

“Those who produce more, of a satisfactory quality, will get a special bonus payment, starting next month!”

Rewards and positive reinforcements of behaviour are FAR more powerful than punishments. This is born out in scientific research. (B.F. Skinner, Harvard University, 1940s to 1960s). Radical behaviorism.

Psychological Marketing Blunders

Marketing is programming the subconscious mind. Buyers are predictably irrational. Emotions first, then reasons to justify a purchase. That’s marketing psychology.

TIP: Psychological Marketing Blunders Most People Make

 Contained within this article are 3 psychological
 marketing tactics which have the power to totally
 transform almost anyone’s business…
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Have you ever sent out an “advertisement,” and much to your disappointment, received much less of a response than you
had hoped for?

Perhaps a little crash course in marketing psychology is
in order.

You see, there are several mistakes most people make due
to misunderstanding psychology, which result in their ads simply not working.

What is “marketing,” anyway?  Here’s a neat way to think
about it…

Marketing is actually programming people’s brains with
your words!

That might sound a little bit harsh, but here’s what I mean.

When you write an advertisement, a web page, an email, or a sales letter, the real reason you are choosing the words you’re choosing is because you want to influence your reader’s state of mind.

Specifically, most people want to write something that will put the reader’s mind into a state which is “ready to buy” — or “ready to sign up.”

Now, the key idea here is that what you are trying to do is use your words to get your readers to think something.

If your marketing isn’t achieving your desired result, this can literally only mean one thing:

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Your words are not causing your readers’ minds to be in the state that you thought they would!
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

But how could that be?

You wrote out an advertisement so carefully.  It even looks like all those other ones out there.

Doesn’t matter.  It didn’t work.

So, how do you get your readers to think what you want, then?

Understanding psychology is the key.  Because, if you know how brains work, then you’ll really know what to write to influence them the way you want.

Of course, the field of psychology is huge — you can get a Ph.D. in it.  But, here are 3 psychological tips you can use to your advantage.

Be warned:  Some of them may seem counterintuitive to you.  But, remember!  Maybe you need to try something
counterintuitive.

After all, the techniques you thought were intuitive haven’t worked as well as you wanted, right?

If they had, then you probably wouldn’t have read this article!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
TIP #1: At all costs, avoid looking like an advertisement.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

In this day and age, when people see something that they know is an advertisement, they immediately tune it out.

For proof of this, just look at your own behavior.

Would you spend your free time reading ads?

Probably not.

An advertisement is usually classified as something whose sole purpose is to sell something.

So, the best way to avoid looking like this is to actually give people some real information, for free.

This way, what you wrote won’t seem like an ad, because it actually isn’t one!

People will read it for your interesting info, and then when it’s time to talk about what you’re selling, they’ll really listen, too.

Try it.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
TIP #2: At all costs, avoid looking like everyone else.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Another thing which people completely tune out is things which look just like everyone else’s.

It’s a shame — we see so many people nowadays advertising their sites in the exact same way:

Here’s a bad ad. This is the wrong way:

YOU WON’T BELIEVE THIS!  
YOU CAN MAKE $10,000 FAST!
THIS IS THE REAL DEAL, IT’S INCREDIBLE!
etc…

Nobody pays attention to things like this anymore.

Make sure you don’t look like anyone else, and you’ll stand out.

You HAVE to stand out in order to succeed in business.

Combine this with Tip #1 to come up with headlines and email subject lines which really communicate something interesting and meaningful.

Remember, you can bait people in to read your ad with headlines and subject lines which convey something people actually want to read, and then later you can still sell them your product or service!

TIP #3: At all costs, avoid making huge promises
        you know you can’t keep.  Don’t hype.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

So many people nowadays make huge claims in their
marketing; like if you sign up for a certain site it will make you $10,000 per week while you sleep.

This sort of thing is obviously not true, and everyone knows it, even you!

So, when you do things like this it sets off major red flags in peoples’ heads, and they stop reading.

Another big one is promising people that a certain website is the “best” or the “biggest,” etc., when it really isn’t.

Of course, maybe I could send out an email about Google saying that it’s the “most powerful site” out there, but people are tired of hearing all this hype about every little site.

You might even believe that you just found the “best site to come out in the last 10 years,” but so many people have worn out this promise, that it holds no weight anymore (see Tip #2).

This one can seem counterintuitive, since you might think that you *should* say great things about your website or product to get people to want it.

The problem is, this just isn’t how psychology works.

Instead, you must give people real information so that they actually pay attention, look different from everyone else, and be able to draw people in more subtly.

Let your actual website or product make them say
“wow!”

And if you’re afraid that your actual website or product won’t make them say “wow,” so you need to hype it up in your marketing, then maybe you need to re-evaluate your product, and figure out how to make whatever you’re selling powerful enough.

Good luck!

Hint: Get strategic about your marketing and copywriting. Plan ahead. Use your brain. Buyers are emotional and predictably irrational. Appeal to the gut, the lizard brain, the more instinctual, passion, excitement and the agitation areas of the human brain stem and mid brain. Sell the sizzle. The stimulating and irresistible offer!
