FOCUS is worth more than $682.47

I wrote a post “You Get What You Focus On“, a funny story about my father-in-law’s ability to find money on the ground wherever he goes…

The story gets better and more ’surreal’…

“… Now you want me to put it into perspective: The money I told you about  ($682.47) was not the whole story it wasn’t all coins, — Included were 2x$100, 1 x $50, several $20 and $10 bills as well as $5 bills… I turned in 5,000 pennies 4-5 months ago. Still have near 3,500 pennies in a jar, with some new paper money.

One day two weeks ago, the find was $10.32, a couple of days later $5.22.  Today was average at $1.17, in the form of 23 coins.  So, I’m due for something bigger!

Earlier in the year I found a lady’s silver ring. Not long ago I found $7.00 worth of bus tickets, recently Christel stumbled over a man’s gold chain link bracelet. I took it to Prestige Jewellers it’s 14k @ 18 grams.

So, if bend-downs are good exercise, I am doing my share!

Moral of the story?

Look and ye shall find!

Onward and upward!

Fewer e-mails are being opened

It’s a fact.

E-mail opens and clicks have been falling, as fewer consumers worldwide are opening marketing e-mails, according to a November 2008 study.

The study conducted by MailerMailer found that the average marketing e-mail open rate fell to 13.20% in the first half of 2008, compared with 16.11% in the first half of 2007. Click rates also fell, from 3.18% in the first half of 2007 to 2.73% in the first half of this year.

Interestingly, some industries had higher open rates for their marketing e-mail, with banking/finance, religious/spiritual, government and telecommunications having more success than other verticals.

Every 1% percent improvement counts

I recently uploaded two YouTube videos that are ‘product’ description videos for my Marc-Ka-Ching Kube™, definitely a long tail niche marketing product.

BEFORE I even posted the videos on my site, there were 16 views of the first video with NO effort at all. The second one is a ‘non-publicised’ video for people who buy the Marc-Ka-Ching Kube™ that IS public on YouTube.

Having people automatically view videos is pretty cool by itself, but more importantly what the video does for me is increase the visitor experience ON THE PAGE. A 21 second video increases the visitor experience by orders of magnitude.

Search engines such as Google love that. They know that if people stay on a page LONGER, it’s a BETTER PAGE = a higher ranking.

Bottom line, every 1 percent improvement counts because it adds up at the end of the year!

I remember those days like they were yesterday even though they were 20 years ago…

You get what you focus on

Today’s story is brief, but it’s worth $682.47.

$682.47 is the amount my father-in-law has found on the ground over the past 12 months – LOOKING FOR IT.

That’s right, just walking around, he LOOKS FOR AND FINDS MONEY. Just lying there. Living in beautiful Vancouver Canada, he showed off his money-finding prowess here in Sydney on each of his 3 trips – finding in EXCESS of $100…

What’s the point? You don’t find money UNLESS you’re looking on the ground for it. We all get what we FOCUS ON.

That’s today’s lesson. FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WANT and your chances of getting it multiply – by 682 times!

Ka-Ching!

P.S.
There is a LOT to focus on with the Internet… That’s the point. PICK ONE THING AT A TIME to direct your focus, attention and Reticular Activation System and watch what happens – like magic, you’ll find it right there in front of your eyes.

At our Internet Millionaire Marketing Day coming up on 6 December in Melbourne, we’re going to ‘laser-focus’ people on to the key points for a full-on day so that they become one of the 5% who make money on the Internet versus the 95% who don’t. One of the reasons the top 5% make more than the other 95% combined is FOCUS.

FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS.

As Gavin Buckett sent me this quote today, amazing how THAT happens eh?

1% Improvement = Your Ultimate Goal or Outcome

1% Improvement – Google it and see what comes up!

Go to Google and type in “1% Improvement” using the quotes or click here.

Yep, that’s my YouTube video that’s in the #1 WORLDWIDE position. Do you know how much I PAID to get it there?!?!

$0.

That’s because it happened 1% at a time, just like the video explains…
Google “Exponential Growth Strategist” and see who comes up AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD WIDE RANKINGS…

So what’s the point?

I guess it’s as straight forward as aim to improve at least 1% each and every day and see what happens.

For example, you might not know that you can purchase .com.au domain names for $36.50 for 2 years. The reason I am telling you this is because a friend and client was feeling ripped off by a Melbourne company trying to sell him the SAME thing for $140…!

The 1% is that if he didn’t know, maybe you don’t either. It’s FREE for me to tell you and it’s priceless to you if you’re like me and own HUNDREDS of domain names!

You’re welcome.

Onward and upward!
Dr Marc Dussault

Australia’s #1 Exponential Growth Strategist

P.S.

I can hear you all the way over here… It can’t be that simple and easy.

Guess what?!?!

It is. 1% per day COMPOUNDED = 3,778% in ONE YEAR.

You either IMPROVE at that rate or you GET WORSE at that rate.

Ouch!

Did you pick up a few of my 1% improvements?

If you clicked on any of the links and video - that’s ONE MORE CLICK FOR MY RANKINGS…

The fact that you are reading this is 1% improvement of THIS blog’s rankings…

It all adds up, 1% at a time.

Only the top 5% make money on the Internet

“FACT: 5% Of The People On The Internet Make More Than The Other 95% Combined”

Come and learn the time-tested, proven techniques, tips, tactics, skills and strategies the top 5% use that you can customise and optimise on your website, starting in as little as 24 HOURS.

This one-day event usually only for our Platinum and Diamond Members is restricted to only 30 participants - register now while seats remain available.

Find out what successful Internet Marketers do to get FREE traffic to their websites and get MORE people to BUY from them than their competitors.

This is a short post because we expect the event to sell out just like our August Bootcamp did.

This is a PREMIUM EVENT and one of the last opportunities to attend an event at this price point.

Australia’s #1 Exponential Growth Strategist

P.S.
There are previews for this event - they’re $97/person.

That’s how powerful these strategies are - even the preview isn’t FREE. Everyone else gives their previews away for free - because they have to.

This one-day event doesn’t even have a money-back guarantee. How bold is that?

It’s to make sure we only get the MOST COMMITTED PEOPLE who want to take home an extra $50,000 to $100,000 next year without working longer hours. In fact the primary objective of this one-day event is to instill in you the PASSIVE INCOME PHILOSOPHY and TACTICS of the top 5% who have their websites running on auto-pilot

We’re only looking for 30 people to join Bootcamp attendees - that’s how exclusive this event is. Don’t forget, there aren’t a lot of people in the top 5% - I figure that’s about 30 people.

Get MORE Traffic to your site or blog with NO EFFORT

It’s amazing how many people I run into, I give them advice and suggestions and 2, 3 or 4 months later we meet up again and they haven’t done a thing.

They make ‘it’ more complicated than it needs to be.

They need to STOP IT!

Watch this classic YouTube video that explains what I’m talking about and then I’ll give you the Exponential insight that produces REAL RESULTS FOR YOU WITH NO EFFORT.

Now that you’ve watched the video, two things have happened:

  1. You came or I sent you to this blog post which means my site is getting the traffic ‘credit’ for your visit. If I sent you the YouTube URL instead, you’d go straight to youTube and I would not benefit from the ‘traffic credit’ that I could have had.
  2. As you are on this blog, watching the video for more than 6 minutes, it means I am creating VALUE for you and Google and other search engines ‘know that’ therefore my ranking improves as do the words on my blog in RELEVANCE to other SIMILAR pages. That means I ‘bump off’ my competitors and sneak my way up the Google page, one click at a time.

The message of this blog post is two-fold. First - STOP doing the things that don’t serve you and second, start doing things that reward you incrementally and exponentially.

Inexpensive .com.au Domain names

This is going to be quick…

I’m not sure you know that you can purchase .com.au domain names for $36.50 for 2 years from www.ireckon.com.au. The reason I am telling you this is because a friend and client was feeling ripped off by a Melbourne company trying to sell him the SAME thing for $140…!

The 1% is that if he didn’t know, maybe you don’t either. It’s FREE for me to tell you and it’s priceless to you if you’re like me and own HUNDREDS of domain names!

That’s it. That’s my 1% for today!

YouTube the best FREE tool to decrease your sales cycle

If you’re scared by the current credit crunch, market meltdown and stock market roller coaster, you’re not alone. These are turbulent times.

To survive and thrive in these tough times, you need to have an Exponential Mindset™ which means you need to think and act antimimeticisomorphically. Which means doing out-of-the-ordinary things that create extra-ordinary results.

For example last night I held one of our closed-door Boardroom Briefing Sessions and I showed a photographer how he can create $200,000 in CASH SALES without taking another picture and a young lady how she can launch her business with NO MONEY DOWN, with a 3 weekend part-time effort to create a positive cash flow business so she can quit the job she hates.

That’s all good as we say, but what does that have to do with YouTube and decreasing your sales cycle?

Great question!

I am all about shifting people’s mindsets to get exponential results…

There’s this thing called YouTube that is a priceless marketing and sales tool that is TOTALLY FREE.

I can talk for hours and hours about getting you out of the entrepreneurial jail, but guess what?

You can SEE for yourself in LESS THAN 2 MINUTES by watching the YouTube video below.

So why would I waste time when I can cut to the chase and SHOW YOU THIS?

Do you get how poweful this is?

If you feel TRAPPED in your business or with your websites that are not making money - BREAK OUT NOW!

Get an Exponential Mindset™ that gets you to think DIFFERENTLY so you get DIFFERENT results and you can get out of the box that has held you prisoner.

LITERALLY.

This is NOT a metaphor - it’s REAL LIFE.

That’s what I do. I teach you to break out of your ‘jail cell’ of mediocre results to think like ‘Sofia the Beagle’…

That is the Exponential Power of the Internet to compress your Pathways To Profits™ - when you have an Exponential Mindset™.

Want to break out of your prison? Click here to book into one of our closed-door Boardroom Briefing Sessions in Sydney or Melbourne in the next 2-3 weeks

Dr Marc Dussault

P.S.

When you start to Unleash the Exponential Potential™, it’s amazing how easy it gets - people like Daniel Pinter will send you YouTube videos like this to HELP YOU GROW YOUR BUSINESS FOR FREE… Because they want to help you.

Of course you re-pay the GIFT with a mention and hypelink like this one http://www.btechnologies.com/ so you can get to KNOW what Daniel Pinter does so that the next time you need his services - you call him instead of his competitors.

Are you getting a sense and feeling of how much momentum you can create by doing this? The best thing is it’s easy and it’s TOTALLY FREE!

If you’re wondering what I would do as President, check out my Business Mastery Blog - I just made a post that would have averted this Stock Market Crisis.

Turn $97 into $1,000 in the next hour with this Internet TOOL

Every once in a while a SIMPLE TEST produces an incredible result - one that defies description.

This ONE TEST which you can do on your website that sells products or services will cost you $97 and take less than ONE HOUR to implement.

I turned $97 into WAY more than $10,000 in less than 3 months.

The beauty of the strategy/tool is it’s dirt cheap AND super simple to implement.

Want to know what it is?

You’ll have to post a comment on the blog to find out. The comment needs to be ONE thing you learnt or deployed as a result of this blog - I will send you a direct e-mail that reveals what this tool is. Think you know what it is?

You don’t I have never presented of discussed this even with our Platinum Members… They will find out about this next week in a PRIVATE e-mail… and ONLY if they are Internet Mastery Platinum Members!

Onward and upward!
Dr Marc Dussault

P.S.

Let me be crystal clear - this is a disarmingly simple and easy tool that converts SALES that you otherwise would not get…

For $97 it’s a bargain. I make no money from telling you what it is - $97 is what it costs to buy and deploy.

This is NOT a trick, just a cool way to find out who’s engaged and who isn’t on this blog.

It’s also a cool way to get comments on the blog - you give me something of value that I can share with other subscribers and readers of this blog and I reciprocate with this strategy/tool that I know you’ll find as profitable as I do!

Get MORE clicks INSTANTLY

The easiest way to get more clicks is to WRITE your URL more legibly.

www.SpeedStudyForBusiness.com will out-click www.speedstudyforbusiness.com.

www.MarcDussault.com will get MORE visitors than www.marcdussault.com.

It is even more the case with long URLs like…

www.EmpowernetInternetMastery.com.au and www.empowernetinternetmastery.com.au.

Make sure you use this simple, easy and free technique and watch your click-throughs improve INSTANTLY!

Onward and upward!
Dr Marc Dussault

P.S.

Another technique that can help that you might want to test is to use hyphens…

www.Get-Better-Grades.com

I know - it’s simple and you might want it to be more complicated. STOP IT!

I’m serious - watch the YouTube video and take the advice seriously - STOP IT!

Stop making your Internet strategies more complicated than they need to be.

“The Internet is the easiest thing that is hard to do.”

That’s only because 95% of the population makes it that way. The 5% who make it simple and easy make MORE than the 95% combined - Ka-Ching!

Think about it - do you want MORE complexity or MORE money in your bank account?

Convert MORE VISITORS to BUYERS

I hear it all the time…

Even if I get people to my website, I can’t seem to get them to buy my product…

Even though there are several possible reasons for this, the #1 mistake people make is forgetting that visitors need to be INFORMED and EDUCATED to buy.

Let me give you an example.

I am a competitive squash player and one of the things I am focused on in preparation for the World Championships next month is RECOVERY. At 45 years of age, recovery is EVERYTHING.

If you can’t recover quickly enough, you’re stuffed for the next match and you’ve lost before even getting on the court. Of course if you can recover better and faster than your opponent, then you could WIN before even tying your shoelaces!

Interesting isn’t it?

So for an elite athlete, the motivation is RECOVERY and if you SPECIFICALLY SPEAK to that benefit and value, you’re going to convert more people.

Former Olympian Paulo Frietag explains “When you exercise strenuously, you get into an acidic state where lactic acid builds up in your bloodstream. That lactic acid build up gets deposited in your muscles hampering recovery and reducing your potential for performance following the original exercise (or competition). With that in mind, an ALKALINE diet and/or supplement will reduce lactic acid build up DURING as well as FOLLOWING the exercise so that recovery is quickened and performance enhanced.”

You know lactic acid build up – it’s that sore feeling in your muscles the day after or the day after the day after you’ve been to the gym or played a sport. It’s a tightness and soreness that mentally reduces your endurance and enthusiasm to play full-on. For many, it’s enough discomfort to prevent them from going back to the gym or picking a racquet for days or weeks!

An Olympian should know what works and what doesn’t. I can tell you without a doubt that increasing alkalinity (reducing acidity) makes a BIG difference. In my training for the World Championships, I have DOUBLED my training time, doing drills and playing for 2 hours/day instead of my regular 1 hour/day. With the reduction of lactic acid I have been able to maintain this regimen recovering faster even though I have put my body through TWICE THE EFFORT.

What’s the point and how can it help you get more visitors to buy from you?

I’ve just shown you with an example – EDUCATE and INFORM your audience WHY they should buy your product – FOCUS ON THE BENEFITS.

Once they are educated and informed, they will go ahead and click to buy either the Alkaline Cook Book or Acai Powder from Amazon Power.

It’s that easy.

If your clients are not elite athletes, it doesn’t matter – many achievers will associate themselves with them and will want to get their results. Alkalinity has many other benefits that are explained on the sales pages of both products…

The more SPECIFIC your approach, the higher the conversion from visitors to PAYING buyers.

Give it a go and see what happens!

Onward and upward!

P.S.
If you’re wondering if this ‘story’ should be in your e-mail, blog or landing sales page, the answer is ‘yes’.

You can place it wherever you deem it most valuable – sometimes you need to get people to ‘click through’ to the sales page, in other instances your click throughs TO the sales page are sufficient, but your CONVERSIONS are low.

You know best where the BOOST needs to come from.

To get the most people to convert, you need to have a specific approach and value-proposition that caters to their particular needs.

Both products highlighted in this blog post come with my full endorsement – they totally and unequivocally work. The ONLY question is – do you want those results?

  • Do you want to feel better?
  • Do you want to have more energy throughout your day?
  • Do you want to perform at your best all day/week long?
  • Are you committed to excellence or an outstanding quality of life and lifestyle?
  • Do you have enough energy at the end of your day or on the weekend to play with your kids?
  • Would you like to have a little more of a libido and rekindle your romantic life?
  • Would it be more fun if you could play the ‘back nine’ as well as the ‘front nine’ the next time you get out on the golf course?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, getting more alkaline or reducing acid build-up in your system is something you must consider.

So there you have it – a case study of converting MORE VISITORS into BUYERS.

Try it and let me know how it goes – if you have a successful strategy and want to share it with me, I’ll post it here on the blog and get THOUSANDS of people to take a look and guess what?!?!

MORE OF THEM WILL BUY!

Ka-Ching!

Testimonials are only as good as the RESULTS

As an Exponential Marketing Strategist, I am often asked if testimonials are as powerful as people claim they are.

The answer is both yes and no.

Yes if they include RESULTS and no if they don’t.

If someone gives you a testimonial like “Marc is a great guy, he’s charismatic and really knows his stuff”. That’s really nice, but has limited value and influence even though it makes you feel really good.
However, if someone tells you something like this…

“Besides … I would like you & Marc to share in my happiness with the outcome I achieved from the … seminar I held with … Bank and NSW Dept of … I got 5 new clients (value $80,000) and 8 prospects (value $100,000).”

This is a much more powerful testimonial. As you’ve noticed, I took out the confidential information - because this is a REAL TESTIMONIAL. Even when information needs to be removed, it stills has MASSIVE impact.

The key is to first solicit the testimonials and then actually USE THEM. Most people don’t use them - they sit idle in someone’s filing cabinet or in an e-mail folder, never seeing the light of day.

So there you have it. Another 1% improvement that you can easily make today.

Onward and upward!

P.S.

What’s it worth to you to get yourself on Page 1 of Google?

Type in 1 percent improvement in Google and you’ll see my YouTube video called “Make More Money With 1 Percent Improvements“.

It’s one page one… You can do the same with your products and services… But that’s a post for another day!

Forget Microsoft Word - Use Wordle!

Today’s exponential Internet post is a gift I shared with hundreds of participants of the 2008 Exponential Internet & Business Building Bootcamp.

Go to www.wordle.net

and type in this blog

www.EmpowernetInternetMastery.com.au/blog

and see what happens.

Bootcamp participants were amazed at the 4 or 5 variations we used. One of them was the words to use in a RECESSION. As a Wordle file, it’s a fun way to start your copywriting!

Wish you were there to learn stuff like this?

We missed you too! We really did.

Make sure you’re up-to-date with our events. We’d love to see you at the next one.

Onward and upward!
Marc

P.S.
One of the strategies used DURING the Bootcamp is humour - want to see some of the images we used? Go to www.OnlyFunPics.com.au. The site is owned by one of our Diamond Members.

Tough times ahead for some Internet Marketers

You read and/or watch the news just as much as I do.

Everyone is saying the sub-prime crisis will only get worse, the global economy is slowing down, etc.

So what does this mean for Internet Marketers?

It’s not good.

UNLESS you’re an Exponential Mindset™ enthusiast and are attending the SOLD OUT 2008 Exponential Internet & Business Building Bootcamp

If you’re not attending, you’re going to miss out on 3 days of strategies that will get:

* More people to buy from you EVEN as the recession worsens
* More people to opt-in to your site/memberships when they are feeling the most financially vulnerable
* Higher sales when everyone else is price discounting
* Reduce Google Adword spending WHILE increasing conversions and sales

But don’t despair - this year’s Bootcamp wasn’t for you.

The Bootcamp is sold out but you’ll have the opportunity to evaluate other events in the future.

Events such as Killer Kopywriting… and Flipping Websites For Profit.

In fact, if you want to get a really quick start on the exploration of the Virtual Real Estate concept that has 3 websites/day being flipped, you can check out this new product we’re affiliated with.

Check out www.FlipWebsitesNow.com at a measly $47, it’s a no-brainer to give you something to do while we’re at the Bootcamp…

Onward and upward!
Marc
