Recipe for Success?

Hello again

A nineteenth-century recipe for jugged hare began with the immortal line:

'First, catch your hare'.

If you've ever seen a hare run, you'll know that's a bit like saying, 'First, get thousands of visitors to your website'.

Next to impossible unless you're already a big player online.

So, in order to eat, we might have to settle for something a bit slower-moving than a hare, at least for now.

How about a seated audience?

Given that most website visitors only linger for a few seconds and most direct mail readers don't actually read... might an hour or so of someone's attention give you a better chance of communicating your benefits to them?

I'd say so. Coaches, trainers and overseas property companies know so. Even Internet marketers know their best audience is one that sits still and listens, with no distraction from the million and one other Internet marketers' emails.

In other words, seminars sell. Why else would Armand Morin, Andrew Reynolds, Sean Roach, Ted Nicholas, Simon Coulson, Mark Anastasi (and a load more) put them on?

If they wanted to be on stage they could join an amateur dramatic group!

No, seminars sell. For seventeen dollars you can find out once and for all how they can sell for you, too.

The Devil IS in the Detail

Hello again.

The problem with detail is that most of us find it a lot easier to speak in great detail than we do to hear and absorb it.

Which is why some of the most knowledgeable people on a subject - any subject - can also be the least interesting to a lay audience. Detail, of course, is a matter of context. For example, if you're speaking to a room full of fellow experts or in a one-to-one with a peer, detail and in-depth discussion is the order of the day. In those situations, generalities and simplifications won't do.

But if you're trying to get new ideas and facts across to someone, or a group of people, you must take into account their ability to absorb, digest and remember new ideas is a lot less than your ability to tell them.

How does this apply to marketing?

Well, while you may be in love with your product or service and all its wonderful and ingenious features, your prospective customer probably only has room for two or three concepts at most.

Number one will always be 'What's in it for me'?

Numbers two and three might be 'Where's the proof'? and 'How much'?

But explaining exactly how you're going to deliver on your promises is giving too much detail and is usually more interesting to you than it is to them. If they want to know the answer to that one it will be because your 'proof' is unconvincing. So answer the 'How'? question with that in mind.

But start with the number one benefit and how that solves their problem. That's usually the only 'how' most people really care about.

Don't Put Your Daughter on the Stage

... yes, it's before my time, as well.

But it's probably not the sage bit of advice it used to be. After all, what's a 'proper job' in the city worth right now? And doesn't the stage just soun d like it would be much more fun?

Anyway, to quote another old saying, 'The smell of the greasepaint and the roar of the crowd' (or vice-versa) may have been coined by that great old showman PT Barnum, but they still hold a tremendous attraction now, for actors, singers, comedians, illusionists, Internet marketers...

Most of those people have businesses away from the stage that rely on their stage or screen persona to prosper. Actors need their next role, singers promote their new album, and so on, and Internet marketers promote their latest product or service.

The point is, they promote themselves from the stage (and sometimes from the screen). It makes logical sense but it also makes them feel great and that feeling is one they can share with everyone.

To reach the maximum number of people, the limitations of a theatre or auditorium stage may not seem the most efficient medium. But to reach them directly, credibly and indelibly, a live performance is exactly what's needed. It's also a great way to feel alive!

So, if you're aiming to be the next Billy Connolly or, more likely, the next big shot in Internet marketing, get up there and do your stuff!

Have you ever heard the sound of applause aimed at you? How did it make you feel?

Wealthy, perhaps?
