Issue 100: Strategy Driven Profits
by Paul Evans
www.nicheologyprofitletter.com
==================================

In a little over 7 months 100 issues of the Profit Letter have come your way. Some have been light and others heavy. But all have been FREE!

Along the way we’ve hit…

-Traffic crushers
-Becoming an online entrepreneur
-Continuity and small reports
-Who can you trust?
-Dozens of 5 Guys mentions
-The Nicheology 5 year anniversary with giveaways
-From Doing to DONE.
-YOUnique valYOU

-Confident Competence
-Rah, Rah
-Making P.L.A.N.S.
-You’re not as dumb as they say
-Article ideas
-Your vision
-Income DNA

And get this… those were not set ups to get you to buy something. I know, crazy!!!

These first 100 issues have been fun and challenging. If you’ve applied them you’ve become more profitable. If you’ve simply read them, you’ve become more knowledgeable.

With this 100th issue you’re invited to a free teleconference…

CORE BUSINESS :

Your Online Income Wake Up Call

Go to: http://strategydrivenprofits.com/core

First, for the skeptics. Nothing will be sold on this call. It’s not a “set-up” to get in your wallet.

Second, for the scattered. This event will help you achieve focus and clarity.

Third, for the serious. You will get the “ah-ha” that will let you break through the barriers and holdbacks that are putting most online businesses in the poor house.

This call helps you start or start-over…

-Create a solid business plan (the most skipped step of online business).
-3 critical investment areas.
-Determining and applying risk capital.
-Legitimate and “dreamer” business expenses.
-Top 10 “failure” lessons and how to avoid them.
-Why 98% of all businesses will always fail and what you can do to enter the 2% club. (These numbers are NOT going to change, so you need to decide right now which % you want.)
-7 ways to get funding for your online business.
-How “The _____________” creates co-dependency and virtually guarantees closing your virtual doors with thousands in debt.
-How to leverage the “low entry barrier” the internet provides.
-Do you need to Incorporate or become an LLC?
-4 business transportation options and what each means to your business.
-All people are not created equal in terms of skills, talents and ability to adapt. We’ll cover the top traits of unquestionable business successes to boil down the critical 5. Every multi-millionaire I know possess all these qualities.
-Protecting your ideas and concepts.
-The ultimate shortcut to online success and how to make the BEST shortcut decision.

Just in case you are processing slow today – this call is free.

http://strategydrivenprofits.com/core

The reason I’m doing this is simple. I’m SICK of seeing avoidable failure. So many more people could be making their living online, enjoying life without concern, but because they have broken a handful of fundamental laws of business they have been digging their financial grave.

This call will GIVE you missing pieces that are rarely (if ever) taught in online business products. These things are not mentioned at all in the $2,000+ power launches. (Makes me want to throw-up.)

So…

As mentioned in the last issue – if you are a P90X online entrepreneur this call is for you. If you think you can make a bundle doing nothing, then this call will just tick you off – don’t come.

THE #1 Product on the Internet

On July 20, 2009, In online business, By Paul Evans

Issue 96: THE #1 Product Sold on the Internet
by Paul Evans
www.nicheologyprofitletter.com
==================================

Spent last week in Dallas.

This week I’m in Mexico working with Orphans.

Last week’s work makes this week’s work possible. To me it’s what the “internet lifestyle” is all about.

Before getting to this issue’s training info…

01: I LOVE flying out of my home town’s airport.

Here’s why…

I was the ONLY person going through security. Was greeted by name. Engaged in actual conversation with classic souther hospitality.

02: “Muscle Milk” needs to be added to vending machines.

More and more convenient stores stock the Muscle Milk brand of protein. It’s even here in the ATL airport. AMEN! Now if it were only stocked right outside of 5 Guys Burgers and Fries!

03: When people have their ear phones in they have no idea how loud they eat. The guy next to me sounds like a cow chewing its cud. Like a swine on the dine. It’s a smack attack!

04: Be watching for the 100th issue of the Nicheology Profit Letter. You’ll be invited to attend a free live online business training teleconference. No pitching. Nothing for sale. And you can ask questions.

Why?

Online business success rates stink. Primary causes… no fundamentals. No business acumen. No plan. Blind acceptance. No solid system based on reality. And a lot more reasons that will be solved on the call. Watch for it. Issue 100.

THE #1 Product Being Sold on the Internet

Take a peek behind the curtain.

Scarcity. Reciprocity. Launches. Sideways sales letters. Social proof. Herding. Fear. Gain.

All of those (and more) fill your email box and send you to webpages to get you to buy something you originally had no intention of purchasing.

The “average” internet market release focuses on psychology, not value. Sell-ability, not solutions.

For Example: People bought “Mass Control” who have no list and no product. WHAT?!

“That don’t make no sense” (Pete in “O Brother, Where Art Thou).

It seems that every launch sells-out. Every product promises riches. And somehow a trillion tons of “proof” fills the page boasting the ways a “newbie” stumbled upon a secret way to make a ca-gillion overnight from his mother’s basement.

Uh….. right.

The #1 “product” being sold in internet marketing is NOT squeeze pages, done for you systems, Clickbank magic, copywriting, continuity, mini-sites, workshops, live events, etc.

The #1 “product” being sold to YOU and ME is………..

..

HOPE

Hope suspends disbelief.

Hope causes you to make emotional decisions.

Hope opens your wallet.

Hope extends simplicity and ease and “you deserve it.”

Hope creates “THIS is IT” and “THIS must be THE answer,” when we ought to be thinking… “OK, this is a piece of the puzzle, not the entire solution.”

But hope does not work that way. Hope relates to faith more than logic or reality. Hope conceives in possibility (and often gives birth to disappointment).

You must be careful…

Hope can lead to dope. (Not drug, dope; dummy, dope.)

It’s not an accident that you WANT to buy that shiny new release. It’s hope on the loose. Be ready. Recognize it. Buy what will educate you, just don’t believe it will liberate you. Don’t get crazy and think…

“All of your wildest dreams will come true” (Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite).

Don’t buy hope; buy help.

And when you’re selling, sell hope AND help. KNOW the solution the customer will get and be proud and confident of it. Be excited that your people are not just buying but actually benefiting!

Success is NOT an Accident!
Paul

Online Business- It’s Just That Easy

On July 17, 2009, In internet marketing, By Paul Evans

Issue 95: It’s Just That Easy
from Paul Evans
www.nicheologyprofitletter.com
===========================================

Nicheology members: Make sure you turn in your questions for the call.
http://www.nicheology.com/members/department55.cfm

===========================================

Notes from the blog…

Paul, I love your value-added approach – and straight talk. It’s a good dose of reality and encouragement in my ear when I really need it. Created 3 info products and put them online this weekend thanks to your insights and no fluff approach. I’ve been hung up on perfecting things for a while and I was finally able to get through that and just get it done incrementally. Many thanks for your value-add!

…Shannon

(Congratulations!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!)

Hey Paul,

The Big Game Plan was awesome. Thanks for the great content, problem solving, humorous atmosphere, etc. You are a blessing. I will be glad to provide a great testimony for the event. It will pay for itself many times over…and soon…it’s just that easy!

Your friend!

Bruce Ammons

http://www.GodsMoneyCoach.com

(B, it was a blast! Loved your engagement on forming that mastermind group!)

—

Paul I’ll just come out and say it. I love you best. I’ve been on your list and a member of nicheology for awhile now – and your information is top-notch. I appreciate so much that you back important human rights causes and can illustrate the power of success with your business through that, versus showing off your mansion and your latest yacht. (Not to say that you have a mansion and a yacht, but you know what I mean…). Of course I understand the point – successful internet marketers want to show us they have the money to buy those “material things” – so we understand they are financially successful and can therefore show us how to be successful so we will buy their stuff. But the value system there, sucks, frankly, and it really turns me off. YES, I want to be successful, but it’s not so I can buy a mansion and a Porsche! Show me you are so successful that you can donate big to your favorite nonprofit causes and change lives, and also spend more time with the ones you love, and you’ve got my attention!

-Vonalda

(Thanks V!!! Donate BIG. Love it!!)

There are more comments on the blog, but I wanted to share a few and thank all of you for your integrity and willingness to WORK.

Bruce (quoted above) attended The Big Game Plan earlier this week with myself, Carrie and Perry (http://budurl.com/videoattract).

A running joke “it’s just that easy” took over half-way into day one.

It WAS easy to those leading the event because it’s what we do. Bruce said, “You’re so far removed from being a beginner you’ve forgotten that all of this easy stuff can be hard.”

LOL!

That’s right!

Almost everything is hard the first time. Riding a bike. Swimming. Putting up a squeeze page. But after just a little bit of time it becomes just that easy. Soon you do not have to think about it.

Here are the stages according to Maslow…

Unconscious Incompetence – you don’t know what you don’t know.

Conscious Incompetence – you know what you don’t know but want to learn.

Conscious Competence – you purposely learn and acquire the skill of what you don’t know.

Unconscious Competence – its second nature and you do not have to think about performing the action.

What is HARD for you right now in your online business? (Write it down.)

Either – outsource it or learn it.

And don’t give up!!!!!!

Whatever you set your sights and mind on, you can accomplish. But give it time. I think I have been more than open about how long it takes to build a business.

But if you’re willing to keep working, keep pushing and keep growing you’ll be amazed at the results. (Go back and read Shannon’s comments again at the top of this letter. It’s LOADED with the secret of success.)

And once you rack up those successes – you’ll start showing others what you are doing and find yourself saying…

“It’s just that easy.”

Success is NOT an Accident,
Paul

P.S. Got something free and cool planned for the 100th issue of the Nicheology Profit Letter. A free tele-seminar on “Core Business.” We’ll be getting down to the essentials of REAL business. Not the fake stuff being pandered online today. Plus you will get to ask questions if you make it to the live call. More details soon.

Internet Business Anchors

On July 15, 2009, In internet marketing, By Paul Evans

Issue 94: Internet Business Anchors
from Paul Evans
www.nicheologyprofitletter.com
===========================================

Nicheology members: Make sure you turn in your questions for the call.

http://www.nicheology.com/members/department55.cfm

===========================================

Quick joke from a friend…

What has two teeth and is 80 feet long?

(Give up?)

The funnel cake line at the South Alabama State Fair.

(I shouldn’t be laughing at that since I’m from Alabama, but I’ve actually seen the line!!)

OK… today’s issue….

3 Internet Business Anchors

Carrie Wilkerson, Perry Lawrence and I are conducting Big Game Plan training/coaching this week in Texas. Yesterday, I shared these three anchors with the players…

01: Our Businesses Should Make the Customer/Client Better.

Stop focusing on SALES and start focusing on the VALUE your customers receive.

The reason there’s so many shouts of discontent in internet marketing is because people are being psychologically manipulated into buying. But tricks aren’t required. Just provide a product or service people will be glad they bought. Create products buyers will thank you for.

After the application or education of your info product the customer should be in a better position. Don’t fall in love with your product; fall in love with your people.

02: Remain Flexible and In Line with Your Core DNA.

Just because a guru says you need to do x, y, z does not make it so. Think for yourself. Do what you enjoy. Don’t abandon your natural strengths and personality blindly following the advice of someone.

Take training/teaching and adapt it to who YOU are. Play the game on YOUR terms. Build your business around your strengths and passions.

(Bruce Ammons at Big Game Plan!)

03: Picture YOUR Perfect Business.

I like to work from 4-8 am. What does YOUR “work day” look like?

What would your average day look like? What would it feel like?

Build YOUR business- don’t just replicate what you see someone else doing.

Those anchors keep you a solid place. They keep you from drifting.

Until next time, see you in the funnel cake line.

Success is NOT an Accident,
Paul

The fitness center in this Dallas hotel stays open 24 hours a day. That means there was NO EXCUSE for me not to go in there at 4 am to get a workout in.

That’s also what you should love about online business. It’s 24/7. You can get paid morning, noon or night. You can do your work morning, noon or night. (Personally I like to work early so I have the day free to chase other interests.)

Personal and Business Growth Strategy

On July 10, 2009, In internet marketing, By Paul Evans

Issue 91: PBGS (Part 1)
from Paul Evans
www.nicheologyprofitletter.com
===========================================

Nicheology members: New for personal use: Outsource Your Success!
http://www.nicheology.com/members/programs/fileinfo.cfm?id=73

Outsourcing is all about leveraging other people’s time to make YOU money, it is about getting people to do things faster and better than you could hope to do them so your time is freed up to do those jobs that only you can do, the make or break business stuff. . . .

http://budurl.com/PLsecrets (for rights to this product)
http://budurl.com/OutsourceEd (more about outsourcing)
===========================================

In just a few hours a couple of awesome things are happening!

(No, not some product launch. That’s not really even important although every time a launch occurs it’s made to sound like your life will cease to exist and your business will disintegrate if you don’t buy.)

No, this is really cool. Stuff that actually matters – LIFE.

First, my great friend Carrie Wilkerson (the Barefoot Executive) and her oldest daughter are coming in town for the weekend. Our families will have a fun time together. (Including a 5 Guys Burgers and Fries outing of course!)

Second, the main reason Carrie is coming this weekend is to meet the young ladies from Stella’s House http://100xmissions.org/?p=203. Carrie is doing a book release soon where 100% of the opening sales go to Stella’s!!!!! WOW!!!

And, as always, 100% of the donation will go to the work. 100X Missions does not take out a dime for admin or overhead (our personal business ventures fund all those costs.)

**See how that’s REALLY significant compared to a silly product launch?**

A few issues ago I mentioned the word SACRIFICE. This issue focuses on…

SIGNIFICANCE

Doing what matters. What really counts.

And one of the areas that really matters is increasing your value.

Becoming better at who you are and what you do.

You can do that by adopting a personal and business growth strategy.

Personal & Business Growth Strategy

A picture library collage from around the house…

books

If you want to eliminate competition – increase your intellectual breadth and depth in a diversity of areas.

Mine include…

Christianity
Business
Online business
Marketing
Leadership
Public Speaking
Golf
Travel
Biographies
Spy Thriller Novels (Bourne variety)
Real Estate
Fitness

(Those could be niched down even further.)

The bottom line falls on this… I’ve read thousands of books and listens to thousands of hours of training in a variety of arenas. That’s a leading factor in success.

(Of course, the general principle most taught in Internet Marketing is that you can basically be illiterate and make millions online. Uh…right.)

Don’t miss the point. You can certainly make money by ONLY studying how to make money (more on this in Part 2). But don’t you want MORE than that? Don’t you want to create an intellectual and educational vault that you can pull from at any moment for conversations, products, teleconferences and seminars?

Don’t you want to create a business based on your own ideas and concepts rather than regurgitating another’s thoughts?

A PBGS shapes you into a more valuable and useful human being.

You should read one book for each sitcom you watch.

Two books for every sporting event you attend.

And so forth.

What you listen to, watch and read influence who you are. Who you are influences those around you.

You say, “I just want to make money online.”

Really?

How many books have you STUDIED on that topic? How many seminars have you attended and applied? How many products have you actually consumed, distilled and taken action on?????

What If I said, “I want to master Spanish.” And you looked on my bookshelf and saw one book. Would you think I was serious?

What if you saw 10 books?

What if you saw 25 books, dictionaries, workbooks, DVDs and an application to attend a five-year language course at a local college?

Ah…. Then you would say, “I guess you’re serious.”

You need a disciplined PBGS. Invest in YOU. Personally and professionally. You won’t just have a successful business, but you will have a significant life.

ASSIGNMENT: Go to your book shelf. If you were a guest in your home what would you say you were interested in? What would you say you were really serious about?

In part two, we’ll look at fleshing out your PBGS and two specific ways to approach it resulting in massive momentum for online success.

You may be thinking – we’ll I’ve bought everything on the planet and still haven’t made money. Part 2 will help with that as well.

Is It Really Possible to Make a Substantial Amount of Money Online?

On July 8, 2009, In internet marketing, By Paul Evans

Issue 91: Is It REALLY Possible???
from Paul Evans
www.nicheologyprofitletter.com
===========================================

Nicheology members: The Profit Academy Replay is online…
http://www.nicheology.com/members/department51.cfm
===========================================

One of the best ways to learn is by asking questions. And since a ton of folks get this newsletter the questions pour in (not all of them about online business)…

“Is 5 Guys really as great as you say?”

YES!! (I cannot believe you asked that!) Though I have to admit I’m not a huge fan of their fries. But their burgers…wow!!!!

“How did you lose 15 pounds in a month?”

Uh… The Income DNA sorta spelled that out. http://budurl.com/IncomeDNA

“What is the secret to making money online?”

Work. It’s only a secret because lots of people don’t want to do it.

“Which niche will make me $2000 a month?”

Hmmm… hundreds of niches can produce $2000 a month :: self-growth, diet, exercise, online business, how to start a restaurant, etc :: all possess the seeds of riches. BUT…only YOU can make it happen. No niche will make money FOR you. And no SINGLE process works in every niche.

“Are all southerners as happy as you?”

Nope.

“Are you always in a good mood?”

I’m not. In 2008 I had a couple of really bad days. In fact, one of my boys asked how my day was and for the first time ever he heard me say, “I didn’t have a great day today.” It really threw him. I’m only in a good mood 99% of the time. A 3 hour recording on why I’m happy all the time would be easy to produce, but it might be torture for the crowd!

“Is it REALLY possible to make substantial amounts of money online or is it just a sales pitch?”

Yes to both…

OK. Buckle up. The following collision could prove fatal to your online dreams. Prepare for the impact of……. REALITY!

YES, it really is possible to make substantial amounts of money online.

But it’s not probable for MOST people. Hold on though. Don’t give up just yet. We’re going to find out if you’re different than most people.

Consider the following…

Is it possible to make substantial amounts of money selling life insurance?

Yes.

Is it possible to make substantial amounts of money selling cars?

Yes.

Is it possible to make substantial amounts of money as a professional speaker?

Yes.

Is it possible to make substantial amounts of money with a restaurant?

Yes.

Is it possible to make substantial amounts of money with a tanning bed salon?

Yes.

Yet…… salesmen fail, restaurants close and tanning bed salons shut down leaving their Caucasian customers pasty white.

Was making money in those industries just a sales pitch? Didn’t they all have a dream? Didn’t they all invest time and money to make it work?

Most likely. There are dozens of reasons for failure, but here are the top three…

1) Thinking that people will just show up at the door ready to buy.

2) Thinking about making sales rather than serving customers and sharing a great experience.

3) Failing to contact customers over and over helping them take the experience to a deeper level. In other words, not building a relationship with them.

Most of the fundamentals of business are the same across the board. In general the process needs only slight tweaking for each industry.

So, back to the question…

“Is it REALLY possible to make substantial amounts of money online or is it just a sales pitch?”

It really is possible … but …

Can you sell insurance right now? Can you open a restaurant right now? Can you open a tanning salon right now? Do you know what to do? Do you know how to do it? Do you have the money it takes? Do you know where to find your customers? Can you sustain operations for two years even if a customer never walks through the door?

(Get the picture?)

You can make A LOT of money online. A bunch. A bank full.

But you have to….

Educate yourself.

Experience the steps.

Evaluate and do it all over again.

You really need to create a two year plan in a niche and stick to it. Work it. Pursue it. Sacrifice.

And most won’t do that.

They’ll quit and say, “That was all just a pitch.”

It’s a pitch because it’s sales. But most will give up too soon. They will not invest the time it takes to really learn how to do business online successfully. They want it to be easy. And it never will be for them. Because their focus is wrong. They want it overnight.

But as I have mentioned before. You can’t learn guitar overnight. You can’t learn a language overnight. And they are MUCH EASIER than creating and running a business.

However, if YOU stick with your online business education, continue to work your plan day in and day out, you can make substantial amounts of money online.

It’s really possible.

It’s just not probable for the vast majority who would rather watch sitcoms than work. Who would rather believe the pitch than make a plan.

The good news is that those people are not in your way. They are not your competition. They will keep buying stuff to fulfill their dream, while you will buy stuff to further your online education and grow your business.

In the next issue we’ll look at a sitcom to business ratio and knock another large chunk of your “competition” out of the way.

Paul

Issue 90: When the Online Business Going Get’s Tough…

On July 6, 2009, In internet marketing, By Paul Evans

Issue 90: When The Going Gets Tough…
from Paul Evans
www.nicheologyprofitletter.com
===========================================

Nicheology members: Don’t forget to register for tonight’s webinar if you want to be there live. We’ll look at 1) Lynn Terry’s Super-Genius Affiliate Auto-Selling. 2) A website that did $300K+ in 3 Days. It’s highly unusual. You will think these guys are crazy, but it will stretch your belief about pricing and value.

Thank you for the feedback on the weight loss and the Freedom or FreeDUMB thoughts…

http://nicheologyprofitletter.com/2009/07/internet-marketing-freedom-or-freedumb/

Just because the 15 pound fat drop goal was met does not mean it’s time to pork back up.

Nope.

Hit the gym this morning and have already downed a protein drink. Another 10 pound drop should put me at a good weight/height ratio and create a solid physical and mental platform for maximum performance in all life areas.

Good times!!!!

Maximum Performance.

That’s a good goal right?

Of course.

But it differs according to the individual.

Why?

Because some things are easy and some things are hard.

However, sales letters taunting the latest craze make it sound like ALL online business is easy.

It’s not.

They treat each potential buyer like they are all equal. They’re not.

Different backgrounds.
Different processing.
Different skills.
Different talents.
Different intuitiveness.
Different knowledge.
Different education.

What is easy for one is hard for another. What’s hard for one is easy for another.

I’m embarrassed to even write that it’s so elementary.

But get this…

Everything was hard at one point for everyone.

The first golf swing wasn’t easy for Tiger Woods.

Michael Jordan did not thrive in high school basketball.

Your first steps were not smooth.

But you keep trying and keep growing.

Your first squeeze page may have taken 8 hours to get online.

Your next, 4 hours.

Your next, 1 hour.

Then suddenly you’re able to put a page online in about 20 minutes including the Aweber coding.
