Here is the most popular phrase in the internet marketing space:
“I can not sell my product please any one help me!!!”
It’s like a bad romance that plagues not just the person asking it but also everyone forced to be around the person asking it. **grins**
Let’s answer this one in 2 parts…
Part 1: A Metaphysical Explanation
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
The truth is, the fact that you threw that broad statement out there says more about you than it does about your problem. It says that you do not yet have the insight to know what you are looking for or what you are looking at.
Instead of saying, “I can not sell my product please any one help me!!!” Try this instead…
Why can I not sell my product?
What am I doing wrong?
Where is my process breaking down?
Those 3 small questions will help you a lot more than the broad statement you are posing.
Never forget that when you point a finger (looking for blame or answers) there are 3 fingers pointing back at you.
It’s true. You are in a world full of people who became successful because they figured out a whole bunch of stuff on their own, took the answers that a few other people gave them, and ran with it…
…and then to the best of my recollection you are surrounded by a group of people, in entrepreneurs, who have overcome large amounts of adversity and made scathing sacrifices to get to where they are.
When you say, “I can not sell my product please any one help me!!!” You come across in one of two ways to them. A lazy fool or a potential client. Probably both, most definitely the latter.
So what should you do? Look within for the larger answer you seek. Ask more specific questions to others…
Why can I not sell my product? What am I doing wrong? Where is my process breaking down?
If you are going to seek help…ask specific questions about specific problems. You’ll be far happier with the answers you get.
Part 2: A Practical Explanation
What’s that phrase again?
“I can not sell my product please any one help me!!!”
If you want to sell your product take these steps:
Step 1: Don’t be a coward. Fortune truly favors the brave. Be brave my friend. To make it here you need courage, consistency, and cleverness. But above all courage.
Step 2: Understand the fundamental idea that the more people who care about what you have to say…the more you will sell.
Step 3: Build an audience in a place where people visit regularly and repeatedly (i.e. facebook, youtube, reddit, quora, pinterest, imgur, instagram, ect.). YOu can achieve this by publishing regularly on said platform. Be consistent and always stay focused on your niche.
Step 4: Push that audience onto an email list. This list will represent the core of your audience. 80% of your financial transactions will come from this list.
Step 5: Sell your audience things that will help them.
Step 6: Don’t get confused and misuse your influence. (guess this is more of a rule than a step isn’t it)
Step 7: When things break, ask questions. Don’t feel sorry for yourself. Don’t blame others. IN fact find a way to blame yourself so that you can control the situation.
Step 8: If you, at any point, find yourself lost or in doubt…see Step 1.
I don’t need to hope that answers your question, the truth is I know it does. When you are ready for the answer this will all make sense and you will win. Good luck out there.
