Thats what the advertisement read as I enthusiastically clicked my mouse to find out exactly what was in store for me inside the website. But what I found was empty promises and a bunch of marketing hype and garbage. Have you ever found yourself in my situation before?
The internet is so vast and so easily reachable for the average person now that almost everyone wants a piece of the action.So they are either starting up businesses to sell widgets and e-widgets or they are affiliates pushing someone else's and making great income doing it too.
I can't remember the number of these types of products I have paid for now but most of them have a few gems of information and the rest is just recycled from the last e-book I read. I don't know about you but im getting fed up with this deceitful type of marketing where the only people making the serious coin are the one's peddling the garbage information.
I have wasted so much money on so many of these products because they simply didn't live up to what they promised on the sales page.
Some of these people are such masters at the art of gentle persuasion that they could indoctrinate you to remove your pants and run up and down the street naked .
So I want to pose a few questions to you and make some suggestions that I have found it relevant to being successful on the internet myself.
"Don't ever take advice from those that don't have what you want" is a line that I live by and it makes sense in general that if I wanted to become a muscleman for instance that I'm not going to ask the joe blogs on the street corner or the local shop owner for advice.Im going to speak to the man with the body of steel at the gym who has done it and ask him for advice or pay him for it.
So with the internet and entrepreneurial business we have to use the same base. But there is a challenge that we face on the internet with this scenario,How do you know that the guy with the massive website that has pictures of money,cars,boats and houses actually owns those or even knows who owns them ? Sadly in a lot of cases you have been deceived right from the start to believe these guys have made it big and they want you to pay them for their advice and wisdom. So be careful who you take advice from is what I'd say.
It's all very well that they can show you their click bank or paypal accounts to argue they make great money but that's because they have enlisted thousands of people like you to be affiliates and spend their own money and time driving traffic to the owner's website. Yes they make sales and income too but not always and the winner in all of this is always the site owner. He has noting to lose and doesn't really care if you make nothing from pushing his site because he knows for every person who fails and leaves there is another coming right behind him to start promoting his site and paying for the privilege.
So my advice here is before you start spending your money pushing someone else's business you might want to consider spending it to promote your own. Why make someone else rich even if you are making money yourself when you could very easily turn the tables and sign up affiliates for your own site or promote your own service or product that you have created yourself ? And if you actually provide useful products and services that are essential to peoples lives you might get paid very well.
All I am saying here is be careful because we live in a buyer beware culture and my experience tells me that there are just so many people selling worthless junk on the internet that you can very easily get caught out over and over and end up penniless.
So what products and services should you sell? Well to answer that question I'd be looking at latest fadsin the market place. For example the baby boomer generation are aging and we know from history that wherever they have been as they age there have been great opportunities as they make up about one third of the world's population. Now that they are aging rapidly there is a rising market to be tapped in products and services that help the elderly and aging. So position yourself to up and coming markets before they appear and you can almost print your own money if you can successfully navigate a market or niche.
I am involved in this area as I am affiliated with a world class company that provides pharmaceutical based nutritional supplements that are used by thousands of people including many high level athletes and sports people. They pay a nice royalty not only for the sales I make personally but also the products purchases and sales of anyone in my organisation. So I get to leverage the use on many people and also in return I help those people become fortuitous themselves. This is the ultimate win win scenario as I can't be fortuitous without helping others to do the same. So I have found a great niche area that's growing rapidly across the world and I help others succeed too. So the next time you come across the sales page that guarantees you thousands of dollars each week on the internet with little to no effort just beware, things aren't always what they seem.
Who Wants A Million Dollars
With all the controversy and bad publicity about indexed annuities, surrender charges and unethical sales practices are you having trouble attracting qualified annuity prospects to you? Are you having trouble setting appointments and closing sales with retirees? Would you like to know how the top annuity producers are easily overcoming these problems?
During the past several weeks we've had a flood of advisors calling us because their annuity seminars, newspaper ads, and direct mail programs aren't getting the results they used to get. These advisors are either looking for: a new foolproof way to generate annuity leads, preset annuity appointments, a new dynamic sales approach, a new exciting PowerPoint seminar presentation… or they're looking to get into an entirely new market.
After talking with these advisors it obvious to me as to what their problem is. However, most of these advisors don't want to hear it. And, when they do hear it, they don't believe it.
There is a simple reason why the top annuity producers across the country are not having, or even seeing the problems that most of the other advisors are having. There is a ‘little' secret they know and use. A secret that when most advisors hear it, they just think it can't be that easy.
Would you like to know the ‘little' secret to success in annuity sales? (And success in any sales for that matter!)
In almost every article we've had published during the past 9 years, we've revealed the ‘little' secret, and unfortunately only about one in hundred agents ever picks up on this secret and uses it. All the best sales and marketing trainers are always telling people about this ‘little' secret for whatever product they are selling. Yet very few people ever truly understand the power of it, and use it.
Here's the little secret… if you want to have more annuity prospects than you can possibly handle, set more appointment and close more sales:
“Then you must stop selling people a product, and instead help people to identify, understand and solve THEIR problems!”
How many times have you read, or been told about this ‘little' secret? This ‘little' secret is what sets the top producers apart from everyone else, in all the sales fields.
Some agents seemed to have learned this ‘little' secret, are successfully using it in their lead generation programs, and they are attracting tons of prospects. However, then they blow it in their seminars, workshops and approaches, because they revert back to pushing a product. Then they wonder why people won't set an appointment with them. And, then during the few appointments they do get, they push a product and wonder why they can't close the sale.
If the prospect doesn't see and understand the problems they are facing? If they don't see how you can help them to solve their problems, then why should they waste their time contacting you, set an appointment with you, or buy your products?
If you're just another annuity sales person selling a product, then why would they refer their friends, family or business associates to you?
If you want to succeed in annuity sales, and collect an million dollars of annuity premiums every month, then you must help people to identify, understand and solve THEIR problems through EVERY PHASE of the sales process!
In every phase of the sales process you must be discussing how these retirees can make their money last during their ENTIRE retirement years, with safety and guarantees. It's about you addressing their real concerns about outliving their money, and helping them to improve their lives. It's helping these people to understand how you can help them to beat inflation, reduce income taxes, minimize investment risks, protect their income from the devastation of long-term care and replacing lost income when a spouse dies.
