"I built a list
but nobody buys
stuff from my
affiliate links."
I hear that one
over and over.
"I finally wrote
an ebook... took
me 6 months. In
the next 6 months
I had 3 sales."
That's another
common one.
In fact, I even
hear that people
can't give it
away...
They take the
ebook they thought
they could sell,
and turn it into
a freebie lead
magnet to build
a list.
But still, very
few people will
even sign up for
their email list
in return for the
free ebook.
So, what's this
all about.
Why is it that so
many of my students
get to the point
of creating good,
and sell-able products
and services...
but nobody will
pay for them?
Why is it that a
lot of them learn
how to build their
email list, but
when they put their
affiliate links in
an email broadcast...
nobody will buy it?
I've had the same
problem.
Why won't people
buy my stuff?
I learned a few
things, though,
that changed all
that.
Over the next few
emails, I'll show
you some things
that I think will
help you bridge the
gap between
a) getting people
to read you articles,
watch your videos
and even join your
list, and
b) Start paying for
your products and
services... either
your own, or your
affiliate promos.
STEP 1
Ask open ended
questions.
That sounds easy,
right?
Just ask people
what they're
struggling with,
what they could
use help with.
This is perfect
example of something
so simple, that
most people don't
do it.
Everybody understands
the concept, and
most folks readily
agree that it's a
great thing to do.
But they don't do it!
Do you?
And if you do it,
do you do it often
and on a consistent
basis?
This can be as
simple as asking
people who just
read your blog
post, to describe
their biggest
challenge in the
comments section.
Or, welcoming new
subscribers to
your email list,
and asking them
to fill out a
quick survey that
will help you
understand better
how to serve them.
You can even attach
a link to a survey
on a YouTube video.
So, if you agree
that this is a
good idea, tell
me this...
Do you actually
do it?
Almost every student
I've ever coached
was amazed at the
results of actually
doing this.
Now, you can't just
ask people questions.
You need to ask them
"open ended" questions.
That's where you
really start bringing
them into your business
model, and into your
sales funnel.
I'll show you how
to craft"open ended"
questions when I
return to this topic.
and...
I'll show you exactly
what people will pay
you for.
Meanwhile, how about
it?
Do you struggle to
convert readers,
followers, fans
and subscribers...
==> into BUYERS?
Do you struggle trying
to figure out what
it takes to get folks
to actually start
paying for your stuff?
Tell me about about it.
Hit "Reply" and let
me know a bit about
your business, and
your end-goal in
terms of those often
elusive BUYERS.
I look forward to
hearing from you.
Talk soon,
Donna
