Global Success Blueprint - Day 5 - Market Research

Now that you've chosen a general market that you're interested in, the next step is to see if that market is profitable or not.

1.  First of all, you should go to Google Trends and see what the popularity for that market is. Is it getting more popular over time or less popular? Is it a seasonal trend or is it all year around? What countries is this market most popular in?

Watch this video to get a quick lesson on how to use Google Trends:

2.  Next you'll want to go to the Google Keyword Tool and see how many searches are done every month for your market. You'll want to see amount of competition on adwords, as well as how many people are actually searching for that term.

Here is a video explaining how to use the Google Keyword Tool:

3.  You can also visit such sites as: eBay, Amazon, etc. and see what their "hot trends" are. 

4,  You can see if there are magazines and ezines published about your market. You can see if there are forums and blogs about your market. The more "buzz" about your market that's out there, the better.

5.  Next, go to Google search and do a search for your market. Look at the results for the "organic" searches on the left hand side of the page to see what kind of websites are focusing on that market. 

Also look at the results for the adwords ads on the right hand side of the page to see how many people are buying ads in that market. 

If there is a good number of ads, then that means there's money to be made in that market.

Once you've done all that, you will have a good idea if that general market is profitable.

If there is a lot of "buzz" about it, if there is a lot of searches for it, and if there is a lot of adwords competition with it, then that means there is money to be made in that market.

Once you learn that, then you'll want to drill down into your market to find your "niche" that you can dominate in the search engines.

Do the steps outlined above and we'll get into that more tomorrow.

Stay tuned for Day 6 -

Global Success Blueprint - Day 4 - Market Ideas

When choosing a market, you want to find something you like as well as something that's popular.

Here are a few ideas that may help you get started:

Things you love to do or may be good at:

1.  Sports - golf, skiing, surfing, snowboarding, biking, running, rollerblading, parachuting

2.  Artistic - painting, scrap booking, cooking, music, writing, gardening, crafts, fashion, antiques

3.  People Oriented - counseling, teaching, advising, mentoring, inspirational, personal development

4.  Technological - computers, equipment, software

5.  Career Oriented - lawyer, doctor, teacher, real estate agent, stock broker, dentist

Markets that are always popular:

1.  Health  (staying healthy, looking good. nutrition, wellness)

2.  Wealth (financial, making money)

3.  Relationships

Especially if these markets are coupled with a transition (i.e. getting married, having a baby, losing a job, moving to a new home, going to college, getting an illness, etc. - this makes it an especially "hot" market as people want to find a solution to their problem NOW and are more likely to buy whatever will help them solve that problem.

Markets that are good even during a down economy:

1.  Making Money

2.  Saving Money 

3.  Debt Reduction 

4.  Credit Repair

5.  Appliance Repair

6.  Computer Repair

7.  Do-It-Yourself

8.  Pets

There are many, many more areas that could be very lucrative markets. 

These are just a few to get you started thinking.

Today's ACTION STEP:  Choose 3 - 5 markets that you are interested in.

Tomorrow we'll show you how to research these ideas to see if there is money to be made in those markets or not.

Stay tuned,

Success is waiting for you,

Global Success Blueprint - Day 3 - Market

Over the next few days, we're going to be going deep into how to choose the right market, the right product, and the right sales system for your online business.

If you've already got a proven market, a great product, and an effective sales system in place, then feel free to jump to the traffic generation portion of the Global Success Blueprint.

If you don't have a market or a product yet, then continue reading:

The first thing you need to do when starting a business online is to choose a MARKET that you want to serve.

Most people get this backwards.

They choose a PRODUCT that they want to sell FIRST and THEN try and find a market to sell it to.

We're going to do the opposite.

We're going to look at the MARKET FIRST and THEN decide what we want to sell BASED ON WHAT THE MARKET IS TELLING US IT WANTS.

So how do you choose a market?

A market is just a group of people who share the same interest in, fear of, or desire to obtain a certain outcome in their experience.

There are millions of markets out there, so how do you choose one?

You want to find a market that you like, that you're passionate about, that you have expertise in, that you want to know more about, or are at least somewhat interested in.

Sure, you can make money in any market, but if you can find a market that you like, it's much easier in the long run.

You also want to find a market that's hot, that's active, and that has a lot of buzz.

You want to find a market where people are ALREADY spending money and have proven to be lucrative.

You see, there are tons of things ALREADY being sold to tons of people who are ALREADY spending tons of money to get them.

So why reinvent the wheel?  Why not just find a "starving crowd" of people who are spending money already in a market and just put what they want to buy right in front of them?

Makes sense, doesn't it?

So how do you go about finding a good market?

1.  Choose a market that you like.

2.  Research the market for profitability.

3.  Test the market on a small scale.

5.  If the market tests well, scale it up. If it doesn't test well, move on to a new market.

Simple.

We'll be going over each of these steps in detail in the next few days.

In the meantime, think about what areas you enjoy most.

We'll be giving you some specific ideas in the next post.

Stay tuned,

Success is waiting for you -

Global Success Blueprint - Day 2 - Mindset

Let's jump into the Global Success Blueprint.

The very first thing we want to do is take a reality check in the area of mindset.

You may have heard that success is 90 % mindset and 10 % method. Well, we know from experience that is SO true.

For true success in business or anything else, you need to have a PROSPERITY mindset.

A prosperity mindset focuses on the wealth and abundance there is out there - a poverty mindset focuses on the lack and limitations there are out there.

Remember that your thoughts become things. Your thoughts create your life. What you focus on expands. You become what you think about all day long.

Forget the lack, limitations, "can't dos" and all the other things that have been holding you back.

Focus on the positive and that's what will show up in your life.

You have the skill, the talent, the intelligence, the potential to achieve WHATEVER you want. 

Just realize that, and don't EVER let anyone tell you otherwise - cause they'll be wrong.

Instead of saying "I can't" or I don't know how", say instead, "How can I?" and "Who can teach me?" 

Instead of saying "I don't have any money" or "I'm broke", say instead, "I'm creating more wealth every day" or "I'm grateful for all the riches coming into my life right now".

It's all out there for you, and the only thing you have to do is decide to choose it and focus on it.

If you have a prosperity mindset, then others will be attracted to do business with you. You will be perceived as a leader and someone who is giving value to others, and that will bring you floods of customers.

Also, promise yourself you won't treat your business like a hobby. This is a common mistake among people starting out, and it always keeps them stuck.

You are the CEO of your business, and that starts from Day One. 

If you treat your business casually, you'll get casual results.

If you treat your business like a business, you'll get the results you're looking for.

You have to be very focused and committed to do what it takes to run a business, and if you do this, you can't help but succeed.

To get started, there are two ACTION STEPS we want  you to do:

1.  Get a clear picture of what you want for your business and put it in writing. Think of why you started it and what you want to get out of it. Make a very detailed description of what you want to achieve and read it over several times a day. 

2. Start watching this series of free videos. They give some great basic training in the field of business and show you how to position yourself as a leader right from the start.

Free video course for leaders

Do these two steps and we'll take it to the next level tomorrow.

Stay tuned for Day 3,

"How Do I Use Google Adwords Without Losing My Shirt?"

Hey Guys,

If you've been online for any length of time, you may have tried marketing with Google Adwords, also known as PPC (Pay Per Click).

This is Google's way of letting you place your ad on their site and only pay when a searcher clicks on it.

PPC is without a doubt one of the single most powerful ways of advertising out there.

It's a phenomenal way of getting your message out there FAST ... IF DONE THE RIGHT WAY.

If you do it the WRONG way, you can lose your shirt (and much more ...)

We know from personal experience that PPC is one of those rare, game-changing skills that can set people free.

Why?

Because it's the only advertising method in the world that give YOU complete control.

You control how much your leads cost.

You control the quality of your leads.

You control the amount of leads you want each day.

You control the message they read.

PPC is the only marketing method out there that give you COMPLETE POWER over the amount of money you make, and the number of people you can sponsor, or introduce to your business.

What about social media? Where does that fit in?

We LOVE social media, and we're into it in a BIG way. 

Sites like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube are SO important to help personalize you in an impersonal world. These tools are for making friends, building social equity, building relationships, and building your reputation.

The problem is, you don't have control over the growth, amount, or quality of traffic you can get from social media sites.

People spend 3 to 5 hours every single day posting comments, putting up videos, etc. on social media sites HOPING someone will take an interest in their offer, click on their link, view their presentation, call them, and then sign up.

It may happen... but it may not... and if you're like us, you don't like the word "maybe" floating around too much.

We've had tremendous success with Social Media Marketing, and will continue to use it widely. But we like to use PPC as well to make the traffic really flood in.

Our recommendation is this:

When you're just starting out in a business, you want to fill the pipeline with targeted leads as quickly as possible. This you can do with PPC.

You can get leads quickly, and if you're doing PPC in the right way, you'll be making a profit or at least breaking even right from the get-go, so it really doesn't "cost" you anything.

Once you've started with PPC, then you can add all the social media/Web 2.0 stuff to the mix, and get more leads over time. 

PPC is one technique you don't want to experiment with - but it IS a technique that you want to master.

Fortunately, there's some really good experts out there who have had a lot of great success with PPC. 

The one that we're learning from right now is Mike Dillard of Magnetic Sponsoring fame, and his PPC genius, Jim Yaghi.

Those guys have been incredibly successful with PPC, and Mike himself has built all his downlines using it.

And he does is so that each lead he generates MAKES HIM A PROFIT - so he is actually MAKING MONEY by generating leads :)

He's put out a couple of great free videos which will give you an idea of what it's all about.

You can get those by clicking here:  

PPC Domination

Once you've mastered PPC, you can use it to market any business opportunity under the sun. It's an incredibly useful skill to have, and we have certainly seen the mind-boggling results from using it the way the experts do.

Take care and talk soon,

Rich, Carolyn, and the whole crazy crew
