As a learning base, the ezine article is an excellent resource for network marketers, but how many of us can turn all this free-flowing information into profit, into cash?
It seems like not many considering the frequently cited statistic of 3% successes versus 97% failures for new online network marketing businesses.
Here are some simple steps you can take to distill the power contained in the articles you read and bottle it in profit for you.
1. Take control: limit your subscriptions to ezines.
2. Try reading instead of scanning!
3. Stop making ‘mental notes’
4. Stop saving articles, tips, and suggestions for “later.”
This is an important step to profit from reading Ezine articles. However, only one condition …
You must do this NOW!
* Copy and save the article to a “notepad” file.
* Copy and save BUT do not close the file.
Next, resize this notepad file so that it takes up half your monitor, let’s say the left half. In the right half, open whatever aspect of your online business the article refers to … web design, web copy, web traffic, ad title, ad copy, whatever.
Now … as you read the article on the left, correlate with your own efforts on the right, simultaneously correcting, editing, and making changes as you go along.
In all likelihood, you will be surprised by the results of this simple procedure!
Perhaps your ad text could change before your eyes as a result of applying the tips you are reading in an ad text article.
Or your ‘headline’ could turn into that ‘hypnotic’ spell you’ve always wanted.
Or you could understand how a site design needs to include special trigger areas that drive people to buy things online and see how your site lacks that special trigger. (as explained by the marketing guru in the article on his ‘left’)
Instead of copying it to your notepad, you can simply resize the article right where it is – in your email program or website and start applying it to your efforts.
I prefer the notepad because it is very easy and fast to use. The rigid black-and-white format without toolbars helps you stay focused on the job at hand, getting the job done as quickly as possible.
Another thing you could do is grab a hard copy – this has the added benefit of being able to read from more ‘angles’ than is possible on your desk or laptop and you never know from what angle inspiration may peek. out .. A handy pencil is vital for recording fleeting brain waves.
Either way, the results are instantaneous.
Now all those useful items, which would normally be scanned and probably canned … are saved, read, applied! Not only have you finished reading the article, you have even assimilated the information.
Approaching the nuts and bolts of an online business in this simple way also indirectly addresses other major hurdles.
Procrastination for one gets a well-deserved kick.
On another level, seeing immediate changes in your efforts brings back a series of lost emotions … enthusiasm, optimism, confidence … passion …
The Universe prepares to respond affirmatively to the proper use of intelligence.
Even the spouse notices that something is up!
