Welcome to this special training about persuasion and sales tips.

Today, we are going to teach you lots of ways to use persuasion and sales tips on your Web site. We’re gonna be diving deep into the science of persuasion and understanding how all this works so that you can get the conversion because it’s not enough just to set up a Web site or write a headline.

You need to actually do things to get people to take action.

First we’re going to do a little test.

So what I’m gonna do first and foremost is I am going to write a number on the board.

165,121,961

That is the number of people in america with credit card debt.

Now what I want to do for this test is I want you to guess how much debt you think the average American has total.

That includes houses, cars, student loan, medical. How much debt do you think the average American has total?

All right. So a lot of people are saying three hundred thousand five hundred thousand. A million.

So the average person and again, this includes everything. Five hundred thousand nine hundred and twenty thousand two hundred and twenty five thousand five hundred thousand five hundred thousand.

So the average guess was about five hundred thousand dollars. Give or take, some people were above. Some people are below.

1,104

This is the average American mortgage payment. OK. Average American mortgage payment. What I want you to do is I want you to guess how much the average American has in a car loan. OK. How much do you think the average American has in a car loan type?

All right. And this test will open your eyes and I’ll show you something which we’re going to get into with a really cool quote in a minute.

So how much do you think the average American has in car loans? Now, keep in mind, the average mortgage is eleven hundred and four dollars. OK, so we got thirty thousand. OK. Twenty five twenty thousand. Three thousand twenty five thousand twenty five. OK. A lot of people are saying twenty five. Three hundred bucks. Fifteen twenty three. Fifty twelve. OK, so most people are below are saying less than twenty thousand. OK. A lot of people were saying less than twenty thousand. Some people had like 2000 stuff like that. OK.

Now this test, what I want to reveal to you is the actual numbers.

The average amount of debt the average American has is 136,643

The average outstanding car loans. The average American has is 29,058

Now what I did is I just framed you and conditioned you to respond in a certain way.

Notice how presenting this big random fact number made the average guesses almost triple the actual amount.

Notice on the second one giving you this random number, low number of mortgage payments made people guess nine thousand less on the car loan.

Do you think this was by accident?

I actually preconditioned you by putting the big number first thing notice the big number has nothing to do with anything.

It doesn’t matter how many people have debt. We’re looking at the total debt. Doesn’t matter what the mortgage payment is. We’re talking about car loans. So a completely off topic, off subject number has changed how you to think this should be more expensive and this should be cheaper.

Now, I want you to notice that because no one is susceptible. No one is not susceptible to this. Everyone is condition. And I want to start out with a quote. We’re gonna be talking about a lot of stuff from Robert Chiladini whose book called Influence. Very good book. He also has a second book called Pre Influence or something pretty fluid, something like that.

Chialdini says ”

what we present first changes the way people experience what we present to them next”

Random numbers or actual real numbers are going to change the way that you see things. Very important because when you’re on webinars and people say, well, you know, an hour of my time is worth an average of fifty thousand dollars and we’re gonna give you this one page pdf, that should be ten thousand dollars. And I’m going to give you this other thing that’s not worth Jack shit. But I usually charge thirty thousand for it. They’re going to put all those numbers and you’re gonna go, wow, this should be one hundred thousand dollars. I’m getting it for seven dollars. That’s insane, what a deal!

So what happens is you’re pre framing their ideas to show them what’s going on.

Again, what we present first changes the way people experience what we want to present to the next.

This is important. And I thought that this training would be so important in these times right now, because a lot of people are watching the news. A lot of people are paying attention to what’s going on. A lot of people have a lot of time on their hands. And we’re seeing this stuff in real time. We’re seeing it happen right in front of our faces. So we’ve got to look at that. We’ve got to focus. We’ve got to understand that our marketing needs to hold people’s attention by making it about them. So let’s go ahead and let’s dove into this.

And we’re going to look at Robert Chilaldini’s 6 persuasion topics here.

1. Reciprocity

What does this mean? This means that if I give you something free, like a free training on YouTube, you are more likely to buy something from me.

They do studies all the time. And I learned this back when I was doing magic, where I do magic for free and I get a tip at restaurants. They actually learn this with restaurants where they would do tests and they would have a waiter go to the table and leave the bill and you get an average tip. Then they did a test where the waiter would leave the bill and put one mint.

Interesting tips, rose 3%

What’s going to happen if we give two mints?

I mean, mints are free, you could get him in the box on the way out.

What happens if she gives you two minutes?

Well, if she gives you two after dinner mints, the tips rise 14 percent.

That’s almost quadrupling the amount that first came with the one minute. So we got to look at that. We’re like, wow. Seriously, just giving a mint makes their income go up. Are you kidding me? And these are the things you need to know, because if you know this stuff, you’re gonna be given mints away so you can quadruple the amount of tips you get.

So reciprocity is very important. If I give you something, you feel more inclined to give me something back. Very important conditioning. Understanding how it works. Understanding what’s happening. And Ben says the latter part of that test. She turns around, so she gives you the check and then turns around and says, oh, I forgot to give you mints. They went up to like 30 percent or something crazy like that. Right. And understanding this is insane because you just saw in the example before how the numbers precondition you.

So if all these little things are happening in your mind, basically all humans are running around like Pavlov’s dog salivating at the bell ring, saying, how do I get this?

Because you’ve been conditioned. You’ve been trained. You were taught how to think. Now, some of the stuff you’re gonna learn in this training is going to be stealth, crazy, awesome stuff that gets good conversion. I want you to understand this is meant to be used for good. Don’t do like other people out there and use it for bad. It will backfire on you because these things have a way of backfiring if you don’t use them the right way. Again, our goal is to provide value. So reciprocity. If I give you a webinar, if I give you a plug in or a theme very important. If I give you something you feel more inclined to give back. Just like if I invite you to my party, next time your birthday party comes around, you’re gonna be like, well, you know, has had me at his party. I should invite him to mine even though I don’t like that guy. He’s kind of funny looking and he talks about persuasion like a weirdo. Right. You’re gonna go through and you’re gonna you’re gonna automatically want to reciprocate. The next thing we’re gonna look at is scarcity. We see this big happening right now.

This is a roll of toilet paper.

How many of you guys went out and bought extra toilet paper just because everyone else was. You’re like, OK. I mean, toilet paper. You know, I can’t live without toilet paper. And everyone else is buying it. So I better get it while I can.

This is the law of scarcity.

What happens is when people see something as scarce or high demand and low amounts available, they’re going to look at that and they’re going to start to buy it. Scarcity. This is a rare webinar. You hear it all the time. People on YouTube, they say this is a rare video. This is very rare. It’s like it’s not rare. It’s on YouTube. Everyone can watch it.

We actually bought extra toilet paper.

I didn’t hoard it, but I bought an extra one. So I’m like, yeah, if I can’t get it, like I wasn’t able to get it the last four times I went to the store. So we got some right. Herd mentality. Scarcity. You worry. Hey, you know what? This isn’t going to be available, right. That’s why America used to be on the gold standard because it was tied to something people thought was scarce. All right. Now, we’re not on the gold standard, but as things happen.

Same thing with inflation and everything like that. Scarcity is very, very important in marketing. That’s why people say this is the last one. These are the last five. I’m only offering 10 of these. I’m only doing this for a limited time.

So we’ve got to look at that. Scarcity is extremely important.

The next one is authority.

Authority.

People need to know that you’re an authority. Right. You could literally like they’ve been caught on the news or they have a guy in a doctor suit who’s not actually a doctor. And he says stuff. Right, the doctors to provide authority. Now, again, that’s a shady as hell way of doing it. But the fact of the matter is, is a story needs to be built. People need to know, hey, why should I listen to you? Why should I trust you? Why should I read your blog article? Why should I read your content? Why do I give a shit about you? Well, one of the best ways to get authority is to have other people say it. Studies have been shown that it doesn’t even matter. The other person saying it right, you could be like, Hey, Tom down the street has known Marcus for years. He knows that he’s been doing affiliate marketing for 20 years and he’s made $10 million on the Internet. Right. Just hey, Tom says that I better think it, too. So what it does is it gives an authority saying, hey, other people are talking about this and I want you to understand something in life, in life, in business, in marketing, everything you encounter is about agreements. That’s it. Agreements. I was talking to my brother the other day. We’re talking about the price of gold and gold investing in gold versus fiat currency. And we were looking at and I’m like, OK, the only reason gold has value is because everyone says gold has value. Think about it. The only real good thing gold is used for is like maybe dental work or, you know, some other applications. But it’s not this crazy, ridiculous thing or. Take, for example, diamonds. Diamonds are literally everywhere. In other countries, literally everywhere. They’re not scarce. They’re not rare. But everyone agrees that they are valuable and they’re linked to romance and love and care. And so now these diamonds have the authority of everyone saying these are worth something very important. But the fact of the matter is, is it really not worth jack shit? Right. The only thing is, is everyone agrees with it. So authority is very, very important.

The next one we’re going to look at is

Consistency.

People like to be consistent. I voted for this candidate in 2006 at 16. I need to be consistent and I need to do it again. Or what we can look at in the world of marketing is micro commitment. Right? Do you ever wonder why people have a course that’s like $7 or a free trial? Why do they do that? Why don’t they just charge for it or give it away? Why would you charge them? Obviously, if I charge $7 for something, I’m not getting rich. It doesn’t even matter. Right? Like seven bucks and probably not even breaking even. Maybe even breaking even. OK. So what it is, is it gives you a micro commitment. You say, I’m willing to get my card out and buy something from Marcus. And then your mind is programed to say, well, I already bought that. Maybe I’ll buy something else. I already bought this. Maybe I’ll do this. Or getting people to nod their head in agreement. How many of you guys agree that this stuff is important? Right. Nod your head, type it in the box. Yeah, I agree with that. The likelihood of you agreeing with my next statement goes up. Financially, because I got you to agree with the first one. People like to be consistent even if they’re wrong. This is important. You see it all the time if you’re on Facebook. People are always trying to be, oh, I’m backing up my idea, even though I didn’t really think about it. I just watched a video or my Aunt Mary, who I think is an expert in economics, even though she’s not said this. Right. And they stick to it and they back it up and they say, I’m consistent on this issue, even if I’m wrong. OK. Very important. Now, using this in marketing, we have to look at micro commitments. How can we get someone to commit to one thing and then the next thing, whether it’s an opt in put to name and e-mail in the box, whether it’s this or whether it’s out. Did you know that one of the highest converting pages on any Web site is the page after someone puts their name and e-mail in? Think about that. I got you to put your name and e-mail into subscribe for a free thing. And that now increases sales.

Yes, consistency. Well, I opted in. I did what he said first. Better do the next thing next.

Better do this. And a lot of people are focusing and they’re looking at it. Roger says, Democrats, Democrats, Republicans, everyone does this. No one is susceptible. They’re not susceptible to this. This is everything. If you look at your life, if I’m honest with myself, I have to admit I fall for the shit. That’s that’s how we’re wired. Doesn’t matter what party you belong to, doesn’t matter. What matters is these things can be used. And if we understand how humans operate. Game over. You win because again, life’s all about agreements. That’s it. It’s agreements. People agree that toilet paper is needed right now. The issue right now has nothing to do with toilet paper. Right. It’s not like causing an issue that you would need that. But because everyone says it is. Everyone does that. Now, some people might not you might say, well, Marcus, I’m not stupid like them. Well, you might look at it and say, well, I’m like the other people. And you are doing this in certain areas of your life. The fact that you’re on this training proves that a person like you wouldn’t be on this training if you didn’t be susceptible to this stuff. So consistency is a big one.

The next one is liking.

Liking.

You have to like the content or the person. You have two people buy from those that they know like and trust. OK. Now, if someone likes you, whether it’s just because you helped them out, whether it’s because you know your stuff and you’re talking about it, whether it’s because you gave them free content, whatever it is, we’ve got to get people to like us.

I’m not talking about like like you go on a date, go out to dinner. I’m talking about like you and say, I trust this guy, this guy. He’s got books. He’s talking about this book here. He reads this stuff. He’s been doing this 20 years. The average Internet marketer you see on YouTube has been doing it like two years. Right. And we look at it, we’re like, well, markets doesn’t look like he’s been doing 20 years. But I do have some gray hair. Do we like him?

There’s some people that, you know, can get around this. You don’t have to be liked. There’s lots of people who make lots of sales who are not likable. But if you get people to like it, then you’re going to have a better chance of sales. The last one is social proof or a consensus. Now, there are all kinds of tests. Now, we got to understand this because, guys, we are in the Internet age, which means one thing. Does anyone know what that means? Word in the Internet age, what does that mean? It means we’ve got Internet. We’ve got access to news. We have this, we have that. But we have something more important than all that other stuff. And what we have is data.

Data does not lie.

Now you can manipulate data to get it to do what you want. I manipulated this data here. And I said to everyone, you know, here’s the number of people in debt in the US. I use that number. Here’s this number. So you can manipulate data. But data doesn’t lie. That little study where they took the waitress and gave away the mints and got more tips. That’s data. OK. Now online you have data up the ying yang. So much data. You probably need this, right? We got a lot of data. We know everything. We understand what’s going on. I could go in and I could Google and I could see which color button works best for conversion. I could see that. And then you put that on your site and say, holy crap. Now, I just doubled my sales because my button was blue. And now it’s red. Pretty simple. And we’re gonna go into those. We’re gonna talk about those. We’ve got a long way to go.

Hopefully the air conditioner keeps going here because it’s hot out here in the Florida. But we got to look at this because the data doesn’t lie and the data tells us that social proof or a consensus win. Nine times out of ten, actually 10 times out of ten.

Social Proof

Social proof is what makes people buy toilet paper. Well, I saw a guy with three baskets of toilet paper. I better get at least one because, you know, there we go in a lot of these can be combined social proof, consistency, authority, scarcity. They can all be combined dry like the toilet paper. One is social proof and scarcity. Very important. So we look at that and we’re like, OK, what is social proof? Social proof is the whole. Everyone else is doing it. Pretty simple. I noticed years ago on my order form, if I put under the higher priced items, I have a product that’s two ninety seven and I’m a product that’s twelve seventy seven. And I was like I want to increase the people who buy the twelve seventy seven obviously because that’s like a thousand dollars more. So I like more money. So what do I do.

Well I put a little line underneath that. And I said my most successful students choose the high ticket niche. Pretty simple before sales were all right. It’s doing OK. After sales were wonderful because people were like, well, if it’s most successful, students of the people that are doing this actually choose this, then I should, too. I should too. Very important. So we’re like, OK, cool. Social proof is important. You see those little boxes at the bottom of Web sites and it says Bob joined five hours ago or whatever. Sally joined ten hours ago. Whoever joined this five minutes ago. Right. What that’s doing is social proof.

Social proof. If I come to you and I say ten thousand people have bought the simple sites, big profits course, you say, well, you know, I mean, if 10000 people bought it, it must be good, has no bearing on whether the product is good or not. Now, personally, I think it’s the best product out there if you want to learn affiliate marketing. But you know, it doesn’t matter. What matters is they’re looking at the number that says, ten thousand people did this. Well, 10000 people did it. I mean, it can’t be all that bad. Can’t be this. Can’t be that. And we’ve got to look at that and we’ve got to focus, OK?

So having that little thing that says my most successful students in this or most people choose this, or if you like this, customers who liked this also liked this, or after they order, the average person who buys this usually gets this very important to see it happen on Amazon Best Buy. All the companies are doing this because why they’re looking at the data. And I want you to start looking at the data and stop thinking that, you know, marketing without, I don’t know, marketing without it. I got to rely on the data. I’m not a genius. I’m not a, you know, super smart guy. I don’t know this without testing. And any marketer who says that marketing is not a test, you don’t listen to him because all of marketing is a test. We need to test now. The good thing is, is I’ve gone through and I’ve tested this.

We’ve had billions and billions of impressions on our ads, hundreds of millions of visitors to our site. We watch what they do. We test them. We track them. And a lot of the plugins and software that we develop are based around the tests we did to show you how this works. Very, very important. So we have reciprocity, scarcity, authority, consistency, liking social proof and consensus. Right. Very important. If you look at these and you ask yourself, how can I use them on my Web site? That’s going to change everything. Let’s go ahead and keep going here. We’re gonna have a big pile of these papers by the end. There we go. Use them to start the barbecue. OK.

So next up, we have framing.

Framing is a lot like the test I did in the beginning. In the beginning. I framed the argument saying here’s a random number. Now tell me what this should be. That’s a frame. The news does it all the time. They say this is how things are and they package it in a frame. Now, we got to be careful because a lot of people use this and they gotta understand what’s going on. But a lot of people use this for the bad.

Right. You could frame whatever you want. Very important. You got to look at it like there was recently with Bernie Sanders and the Joe Biden Democrat thing. They were recently talking about, you know, him bowing out and and letting Biden have the thing, which I think is a terrible idea. But at any rate, I’m not a politician, so I can’t control that.

But what they did in the news is they frame the argument and they actually had information that was negative about Biden and they waited to share that until after Bernie was already out. Right. That’s framing. When you show information is important. The way you show information is important, the way your website gets people into it is important. How are you going to frame your argument? If I frame my argument and I say. The average affiliate marketing product is two thousand dollars.

But you can come to Marcus and you can get a done for you niche plus training plus software plus everything for only twelve seventy seven. We’re like, OK, that’s interesting. What if I framed it differently? What if instead of this because what I’m doing here is I’m automatically saying everyone else’s course is too grand, mine is better and it’s twelve seventy seven. What I did is I framed it by saying I’m competing, I’m competing. So if you want price, you want this. That’s it. I just framed the argument and said two thousand versus twelve seventy seven. Everyone who doesn’t care about price is not going to care about this. What if instead I say the average affiliate marketer has been doing this for five years. They have a course.

They teach this stuff. But I’ve been doing this for 20 years and here’s what I found. OK, that’s a little bit different. What if I completely took the competition out of the equation? But if I didn’t even do that. What if I wasn’t like product X is cheaper than product Y? Because then you’re thinking, OK. Do I want X or Y? What if instead I only framed it as I have the solution you want? Do you want to learn how to build simple little web sites to average twenty seven dollars a day or more? Click here to find out how I do it or order this thing or here’s what I’m going to teach you. What I did is I just xed out the competition much like the news did. They were like, let’s wait till the competition’s out till we show them how bad of a choice. Biden could be. That’s my personal opinion. I’m not a Biden fan. I like Bernie, but to each his own.

So what’s happening is we’re reframing it. Now there’s some other things that you can look at with reframing as well. And I wrote them down here. OK. Here’s another thing. Did you know that right now 70 percent of Americans support Medicare for all 70 percent? Now, again, this is not about politics. This is about understanding how things are framed. Very important. Seventy percent of Americans support Medicare for all. So 70 percent of Americans say, I want Medicare for all. Now think about the arguments for and against Medicare for all. They’re actually really bad arguments. Some people say they frame it in separate ways. So let’s look at how they frame it. One way to negatively in for a negatively frame, Medicare for all would be take away private.

Insurance. When you say I’m going to take something away, people go. No, I don’t want that. Don’t take it away. Now, personally, for me, I hate my private insurance. Cost me about $3000 a month because I’m self-employed and it’s insane. How you want it. It’s not that great.

Like every time I turn around, I got to pay for an inhaler. I gotta pay for this. Got to pay for that. If a doctor looks at me from across the street, I somehow get a bill. Right. So I don’t care about it. Now they frame it by saying who? You’re gonna get this taken away. Most Americans don’t really care about their private insurance. Is anyone here just love their private insurance or like there is nothing comparable to my private insurance? It’s great. Most people aren’t even people who hate the idea of Medicare for all. Actually, like I think in California called Medi-Cal or something like that. Or Medicare or something like that. Right. They actually like it. So when we frame this as take away private insurance or save money or never have to pay for prescription drugs again, never have to pay for major medical issues, never have to pay a doctor bill again. When we frame it, it changes everything and it changes it from, hey, we’re gonna take away your private insurance, too. We’re gonna save you money. Right. And these arguments change the frame. And I want you to watch this. Next time you’re watching the news. Next time you’re watching the TV, watch how the argument changes the whole perspective. It changes it all. Like I remember one time they were asking Bernie. And they’re like, hey, Bernie, you know, if you are so for millionaires paying extra tax, why don’t you just pay extra tax right now?

And it goes, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Make it pay. It’s like, OK, well, wait a minute.

That just framed it as if you’re the bad guy if you don’t give money to something free. Okay. Now, what he should have said is, well, I don’t think I need to write a check to billionaires and trillionaires because that’s where our taxes go. Right. So if you reframe it differently, it changes the whole argument. We’re going to get a little political on some of this stuff, because I think there’s some good examples here. Whether you agree with me politically or not, I really don’t care. You know, that’s that’s beside the point. The point is, how does this stuff change the way people look at things, other things we look at. Another one is we’re going to use a lot of paper here. Right. You guys better buy some stuff so we can do some more. Right. So we’re going to look at this. All right. So we look at it. We’re like, okay, pricing. Pricing.

Very important price points.

Now, I mentioned earlier how the twelve seventy seven versus the two ninety seven. If I said the majority of people get this. More people will get that. Very important. There’s also some other things where people have options. They have an option. They’re like hey, here’s the full shebang. You’re gonna get all this stuff in a bag of chips if you guys are old enough to remember that saying all this in a bag of chips and it’s only ninety seven dollars. There’s your full shebang. Or we could say, well, you know, if you can’t afford the full shebang, maybe we’ll just give you audio and p.d.’s and audio and p_d_f_ is twenty seven dollars. Okay. Very important. Okay. full shebang or the audio and pdf version.

Or when you add a third option. This shows that the amount of people who take the third option increases dramatically. And it’s important because I’m going to show you how this works. Okay, so two options. Most people are going to choose the cheaper one. Great. But if you add a third option, which is audio pdf plus full shebang.

Audio pdf plus full shebang and you price it at the same ninety seven dollars. You’re gonna get way more people to take this option even though it’s the exact same thing as this.

This is what we call a dummy price. Very, very important. So we look at it, we’re like okay there we go. Stephen says you’re losing a bunch of people. You need different, less inflammatory analogies. No, no. I want to use these because I want you to get emotional about this. I want you to understand it in a way where you’re like, yeah. Marcus, I don’t agree with your politics, you little whatever you call me. I want you to feel that because if you don’t evoke emotion in your market, you’re not going to make a sale.

And while it might be like, oh, well, you know, some people are turned off by it, the people who aren’t are going to buy in droves. And we look at it, as Gary Halbert used to say, sell the foxes, weed the dogs, sell the foxes, weed the dogs, create emotion. If you don’t create emotion. People are not going to get out of their seat. They’re not going to order. They’re not going to call the number. They’re not going to buy.

You need to look at their pain points, you need to understand how it works. Some other examples that we will look for, some other examples, right. We looked at taking away private insurance versus providing affordable health care to all. Another one. This is important. You want to read about this? There’s a guy named Frank Luntz. I don’t like Frank Luntz. He’s a not good guy, a politician. Politically, I’m not a big fan, but I do like his stuff. And another thing you need to learn is don’t be picky about where you get your truth. Right. I don’t care for Frank Luntz, but he has a lot of good things and what he came up with. Right. You look at the talking points because everything in politics in the economy is talking points.

It’s talking points. Why? Because people respond to short little things. They don’t want to do the hard work of thinking. So what do they do? They frame things right. Notice death tax. How many you guys want to pay a death tax?

And you think about like the guy here and it’s the death tax. Oh, man. Who would want to tax a dead guy? Very important. This is the argument that Republicans used to pass.

No tax on big inheritance.

OK. So what’s the deal like? How many of you guys here? If I was like, hey, do you agree a guy with like 100 million dollars should have a tax on his inheritance that passes down so that we don’t get oligarchs, do you think the people who created Walmart should just freely give five hundred bazillion dollars to thier heirs? Right.

Probably not. You’re probably like whatever. No, I don’t think it’s going to hurt them if they pay 10 percent. I don’t think that’s going to hurt him. But when you frame it as death tax, people say, hell no, I don’t want that crap. Even though its the same exact thing.

Again, we’ve got to look at this. We’ve got to look at the words that sell because words make a difference. They make a huge difference. OK. Words that make a difference because notice how in the e-mail before I put open this e-mail, because the word because changes things dramatically that actually did a test and they took people out of college at a library. And I think this is from this book. And they took the people at college in a library and they had a guy go up and there was a line for people did use the copier and the guy would go ahead and say, hey, cannot. Can I go in front of you? I’m in a hurry. I need to make copies. And, you know, a couple of people would let him in front, but most did not.

But when they added the word because. Can I go in front of you? Because I need to make copies. Wasn’t even I need to make it hurt. I’m in a hurry. It was. Can I just go in front? Because I need to make because I need to make copies. Well, obviously, you need to make copies. Wouldn’t want to get in front of me and a copy machine if you didn’t want to make copies. But using the word because change the response. One simple little word and we’ve got to pay attention to the power of words. We see this all the time in politics. Weapons of mass destruction. Invisible enemy. Economy. Bloodbath. And they use these words because they evoke emotion. Very important. Is there actually a blood bath on the floor of Wall Street? No. It’s a bunch of guys in suits and ties that are looking at charts like it’s not the civil war is not happening on the on the stock market. Right. But they use those words because they produce something in your brain. And the word because changes. It says, hey, I need to do this because he gave me a reason, having a reason. This is a big one reason why marketing is why you see people like we’re having a tax day sale. My accountant said I need more money for taxes. We’re having a tax day sale. There’s a reason. Very important. The word you you use. Hey, you could make a little sites and get paid big money. You don’t have to pay the death tax. You will get this. You will get that very important new, new and improved simple sites, big profits. Right.

We’re coming out with the simple sites 2020, which if you don’t have it, go to simple sites, bonus dot com and sign up for it. It’s new and it’s improved. Right. Really cool. Using those words makes a difference. Announcing exciting special secret. The secret. You’re gonna learn the secret that other people don’t want you to know about inheritance tax. You’re going to learn the secret about health care. You see this everywhere, like there’s all kinds of conspiracy videos and crazy stuff going out there and watch how they frame things.

If you want to be smarter than the average person out there, understand framing, understand how people change the way things look by the words they use. Did you know that your brain uses words to make mental images of what’s going on? That’s what it is. That’s right. Like you look at it. And before we had language, when we were babies, a lot of people can’t remember things before language. I think that’s really interesting. So is it that they can’t remember stuff like they had no memory or is it that they didn’t have language to put those memories in little boxes? Very important. So if we’re using language, we can use that to frame things however we want. We can use that to use these words like special secret hidden truth. Now discover quick now proven easy guarantees, simple afraid stress, stupid failure. These words evoke emotion. If I say failure, people have fear and a lot of things are driven by fear. You look at our economy.

They say that the biggest drivers of the economy are fear and greed. Fear and greed. Fear. I would like to argue is a bigger one because there are studies that have shown that the average person would spend more time and energy to save ten thousand dollars they already have from being gone than they would to get a new ten thousand. Now, I was born different and I’m like, I yeah, I’d rather go make more money because we can always make more money saving the money. I mean, you know, you could do that another day, but I’d rather make more and I’d rather take a risk.

And we look at it and understand we understand it. Right. Another one, Gray says I hate socialism because I hate socialism because. So you’re using the word hate and you’re using because. But what if you reframe it? Because a lot of people scream the word socialism.

Because it’s a trigger word. We have been trained to think that’s bad. You know, some some instances are bad. Some things are.

But did you know that FDR, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was one of the greatest presidents, in my opinion.. A lot of his ideas are socialism, socialist ideas. Very important. Medicare for all. I guarantee you in America probably like a small percentage, will say I like socialism. But if you say Medicare for all, 70 percent of Americans support Medicare for all. That’s kind of like a socialism program. Now, again, we look at it like Roger says, it’s bad. No, it’s not. Socialism is one thing and one thing only. It’s an idea. That’s it. Ideas can’t be bad. You can have a not bad idea that doesn’t pan out bad or good.

But you can look at it and say, well, this isn’t necessarily a bad idea. Maybe there’s some good things to it. But what happens is people throw the baby out with the bathwater. And this is happening in your marketing. It’s happening. You use the word socialism. Oh, shit. I’m not gonna buy from this guy. And you’re like, why aren’t people buying? Because you used the word that they didn’t want. Very important. Worst thing Bernie Sanders could have ever done is call himself a democratic socialist. So we’re saying why? Because people like democracy, but they don’t like socialism. So figure out a different word. Right now, most people support a lot of his plans, but they don’t support this word. And that was the worst thing. Again, look at what happened. He says the word and now he’s not here anymore for the race. And so we look at it and it’s very, very important. Very important. Here’s another one and we’re going to look at it. OK. Roger says, For socialism, give your money to a guy who doesn’t do anything. Excellent. Good example. He says, here’s this guy who sits on his butt and eat chips and he’s on welfare and he doesn’t do anything, OK?

He’s on welfare and he doesn’t do anything. And they’re going to take my money that I worked my ass off for. And they’re gonna give it to this guy. OK. You have been framed. They framed it. And we look at it. We’re like, OK. We frame it as this is where it’s all going. That’s not where it’s all going. It’s actually a very tiny percentage. If you look at the numbers, the amount of people on welfare, which I don’t mind it. I mean, if they’re on welfare and they collect money, that’s another job for another person. Big deal. Right. But they frame it as you work hard and you’re gonna give it to this lazy bum. That’s all framing. That’s not the truth. The truth is, is most of the money is is going to tax breaks for billionaires who got one point five trillion tax breaks for billionaires. We don’t spend 1.5 trillion on welfare. We don’t look at the numbers. But this is OK. You’ve been framed. And I want you to look at this

I don’t care if you agree with my politics. Your vote is just import as important as my vote. I want you to look at the framing. I want you to look at something that you are so angry about and ask yourself, is it truth or was I framed then when you understand that? Forget about the politics stuff and say, holy shit. I was framed this way. They framed me to think this way. If I could understand this, why do you think the news is rich? Why do you think the people that are doing this is rich? Why do you think there’s so many lobbies? Why do you think there’s so much going on? Because they understand this. They understand it.

Another one, Roger says billionaires make jobs. OK, let’s take a billionaire. OK. Let’s look at the framing again. Don’t listen to my politics. I don’t care if you agree with my politics. Listen to the framing, because these things are very important. Billionaires make jobs. OK. Right now. Forty eight, I think it is.

Forty eight point seven million jobs in the USA are created by small business. That’s like half the workforce. Billionaires. You have Jeff Bezos, richest man in the world. He created five hundred thousand jobs. World wide worldwide. Now, these guys aren’t billionaires. Some of them might be, but most are not. Most are average guys like me that, you know, make a good living. But, you know, they just get by and they employ most of the workforce.

Yet this guy is reaping most of the tax rewards. Think about that framing. They framed it. They said these big companies provide all the jobs.

Actually, the majority are provided by small companies, the big companies just a bit can afford to pay lobbyist and TV commercials. So think about that. It’s framing. You got to look at that. You got to understand, you got to know exactly what’s going on. OK. Very important. Yeah. Mackenzie says, well, the 1.5 trillion is really where the welfare is going. Exactly.

Exactly. They voted on tax breaks for people who could afford it or they could afford to pay taxes. Right. I don’t agree with that. I think, you know, it should be a fair, progressive, actual, real way. And we’ve got to look at it. OK. I frame billionaires as despicable. No, I don’t. I don’t. I’m just saying he doesn’t provide as many jobs as you think he does. So I said. Right. So you’ve got to look at that. And again, notice how the internal dialog happens. A lot of you guys, while watching this, you’ve had an internal dialog. You say Marcus doesnt like billionaires. Never said that you made that up.

That’s your internal dialog. That’s your programming. Very important. Small businesses are where it’s at. Very, very, very important. And no one asks, how many people did this guy put out of business? How many local mom and pop stores don’t exist because of Amazon? Right. How many tax breaks do these guys get? And we look at it, we’re like, wow, I have been framed in a different way. I have been framed to think this certain way. Very, very, very important. And when you look at it, everything’s going to start to make sense. And I want you guys to get this again.

I don’t care what you believe politically. Look at the framing. Look at the framing, because a lot of you guys get really worked up about these things. Why? Why? My vote’s just as important as yours. Why you worked up. Because the words you use around it, the ideas you have around it and the way it’s been framed. People will fight you tooth and nail on the death tax. Oh, man, that’s unconstitutional. That’s unripe. That’s not good. That’s terrible.

But if you say, well, you know, should the states that are valued at more than a billion dollars pay a little bit more in taxes? Well, yes, they should. But they’re fighting you on the same idea because of the way it’s framed. If you want to get people to your order form, if you want people to do some stuff, make it right, make it to where it evokes an emotion. And that’s why this is so important. Right. Very, very important. Let’s take a look at some other stuff going on here. We’ve got a big pile of paper over here. Let’s take a look at some of the stuff. Michael Christian says Amazon’s a monopoly. Yeah, absolutely. And there was never a monopoly created without the help of the government. Never. Right. You look at that. OK, so let’s take a look at something else here.

OK, so let’s talk about colors. Colors on Web site. OK. Do you ever wonder why at the bottom of the news they use a red bar that says breaking news.

OK. And they use it for everything. It’s like breaking news. Guy took the guy farted too loud. It’s like, how’s that breaking news? Right. But they do. They use red on purpose. Right? On purpose. OK. Very, very, very important. OK. And if you guys want a lot of people are talking about tax plans. If you want to learn about Marcus Campbell’s. I’m not running for president. Tax plan. I will tell you my tax plan. Right. So breaking news is in red. Very important. So red. We want to use red for order forms.

Order. Order buttons. OK.

Red order buttons. Outpoll any other color? It’s been tested. It works. Use a red order button. Red headlines when you have your site. Make your headline read. Make it stand out. Make it good. Blue underlined.

Links blue links. Underlined. Blue underlined links. Get more clicks. Very simple. Another one. I don’t know if I have purple around here.

I don’t have purple. We’ll just pretend it’s purple. Right. So purple. Purple is good for religion, wealth and power, power, wealth, religion.

OK, we’re programed to this. Why do you think the monks in the priest wear purple are interesting? Right. It’s attached to that.

We also have orange for standing out with orange for standing out. We have a black background with yellow text. You want something to stand out? Black background, yellow text. Boom works, works in advertising on print, works in Web sites, works on everything. We’ve got orange. We got. OK. So we’ve got all the colors there. If you want a copy of the notes, subscribe, click the bell. Go to downloadmynotes.com

We’ll get you a copy of the notes and you guys can get that as well. Now, they’ve also found other things. They found that images affect how people feel. Think about that. Images affect how people feel. Very interesting. OK, so we look at images and some examples like if you want to sell to moms, you will sell the demographic of people that are moms. Right. Have a kid with a puppy. I don’t even care what you’re selling. It’ll increase conversion. Just having a picture of a pig kid with a puppy. Right. Frame it. There you go. Here’s a picture of a kid with a puppy. I don’t know. I’m not even going to try to draw a puppy. There’s a puppy. There we go. And the kid with a puppy, right? And that will increase conversions. Just having it doesn’t even have anything to do with the content. Just has that on there. You want to tell the dads you got sex appeal, you got power, you got money. There you go. Right. These little things, knowing these is what’s going to separate you from the other marketers that don’t know these.

Because if you don’t know this stuff, it’s not going to work for you. If you know this stuff, you’re going to be in a world of your own getting crazy ass conversions. Right. Very important. OK. So we talked about that. Some other things. Use simplicity when writing. You want to write to like a fifth grade level. OK. Don’t go beyond that. Don’t try to be smart. Just speak to your market like you speak to a lot of people. Look at my mark, my writing. My writing is atrocious. I can’t spell. I have terrible grammar. My sentence structure sucks, but I write in a way that I talk which makes people able to read it and consume it.

Useful words, short sentences. Credibility is important if you can have credibility. Hey, nine out of ten Americans choose this. This is this. This is that. OK. Very important. Donate buttons would probably be good in orange or red as well. Consistency matters. Novelty offers something new. Sound and texture matters. If you’re doing a video, sound matters. Tonality matters. Texture what the look of the site works. Visualize the word. Imagine. Get people to visualize things. Ask a question. This is a big one. Ask people a question and get them to reach the point on their own. Right. If I come at you and I say, hey, you know what? Here’s my political view. This is what it is. People now, I don’t agree with that. But what if I ask him a question instead? Do you think it’s right that these people get lots of money and people that are starving don’t? Well, no, I don’t think that’s right. OK, now we have something common we can talk about. Do you think this is a good idea? Do you think what’s going on now works? And what it does is it positions it to where you start to think differently. And this is all about controlling the way people think. And if you can get in there and understand that you could literally interrupt people’s thought process and understand what’s going on and say, hey, look, you know what, we’re going to change it. Instead of framing it based on what you think it’s going to be framed on, we’re going to frame it on something else. This is called a pattern interrupt. People have a pattern.

They’re going out there daily life and and something interrupts your pattern and it gets their attention and they engage in it. They say, wow, I’m going to think about this. So we’ve got to use that and we’ve got to use and paint word pictures in people’s brains. Asking a question is a great way to do that. Provide context, context and explain relevance is another good one. Tie in your landing page with your ad or the user’s search. OK. So like if someone’s here and you have an ad that says lose 100 pounds or they clicked on a search link that they search for lose 100 pounds, first thing they see on your Web site should relate to that. Here’s how to lose 100 pounds. A lot of people don’t do this and they don’t get conversion because they’re not focusing on the flow. Tell your landing page with your ad or the search. Put the most important information above the fold. What does that mean? Web sites like this. Most people see this part on their screen. This is above the fold. This is below the fold. OK. You want to put the most important stuff before they have to scroll. OK. Very important. You got three seconds to get their attention. If you don’t get it in three seconds, you’re out. You’re gone. See you later. Very important site navigation. A lot of people have crazy site navigation.

And do you really want people to do this? Like, think about this for a minute when you go to the grocery store. The most common things people go to the grocery store are milk, eggs and sandwich bread and things like that.

OK. These are the most common things. So I go to the store because my wife says we’re out of milk.

Do you notice that in every grocery store that follows the rule, that knows the stuff, you go in the doors. Right.

Here’s the door and you go and over here, you got some stuff over here, you got some stuff. And this is what the store looks like.

And way back in the back of a store, it says milk.

And it says eggs, milk. There we go. It says eggs.

And it says bread. Why would they put that in the back of the store? Well, they do that because they know you’re going to get your cart.

You’re gonna get your cart and you’re gonna fill it up with stuff going down, aisle one aisle to aisle three aisle for. You’re gonna go through these and you gotta go. You say, Marcus, you know. I don’t fall for that. I just go down the aisle and here and then I go up here to check out. Yeah. They know that there are tests that they do that test where people shop, how long they sit and look at a product. They test eye level when you’re looking at the shelf.

You ever notice how the most popular, most expensive shit is in the middle? They go, it’s like, there we go. Boom. There it is. Why? Because they know that’s what you’re gonna choose. Now, for me, it’s a little bit different. I’m 5 foot 1, so I look at the shelf below. It’s probably why I buy weird stuff. This is done by science. They look at it. They say this guy’s gonna do that stuff at the checkout aisle. Do you think it’s by random? They have magazines and gum and coke and different things like that?

No. They tested it. They know exactly what’s going on and on your website. Do you expect it to be different? Most people have their Web site and they’re like, why don’t you have aisles? I don’t have this stuff. I just you know, they should just go where they want. No, they shouldn’t. You need to direct people or they’re gonna leave. They’re gonna leave. Right. Imagine if they had the milk in the back and I had to go ask for it. I’m gonna start going to a different store. And this is important. And when you think about it, this is how everything works. They do the tests. They understand things. Amazon, when you check out it says, do you want this also? What about this other people? But these things, people who like this book. Like this book.

Everything is planned.

Why should your Web site be any different? Why? Well, Marcus, you don’t understand, I’m just a blogger. I just put posts out for blogging plan. When someone comes from a keyword that I went for and they come to my site, what do I want him to do? Paul can understand what people are doing, understand how people respond, understand the colors that work, the words that work, the phrases, the framing. Everything, everything in your marketing message has to be planned. Now, this might seem difficult, but it’s actually not. You watch what people do. You look at tests that have gone before. You look at images people use. You look at questions people use. You look at order forms. Did you know that order forms can make the difference between lots of sales and no sales?

Same product. Right. Do tests. There I go. Hey, what if I have a Visa, MasterCard and Amex logo at the top of my order form? Well, I can’t do that much. I mean, obviously, they know we take the credit cards. Is that why it’s there? No, it’s there because now you’ve aligned yourself with these companies and it gives you a little bit of legitimacy. Obviously, you should be legit. Don’t be a bad marketer. But having those things help or trust, seal or secure, the site is secured with two hundred and fifty six bit security. OK. These things make a difference if you’re doing affiliate marketing. What can you do? And we’re gonna run out of paper here in a minute. There we go. I don’t have to get anymore toilet paper as a terrible joke. Don’t laugh at that. Right. But we got to look at this. Right. The colors, the order forms. When you’re doing affiliate marketing. Right. Let’s say the site that you’re promoting. OK.

It’s blue. It’s got a blue background and it’s got red text in their logo. Looks like this logo, whatever. Right.

And they have a big button. And the big button is orange. And it looks like this and it says by now. OK. So what? But looks like it’s got a little Bordeleau shadow around it like that. Can you get them to your site? What are you going to do? Well, Mike, if this is my top offer, my conversion will go up. If I have a blue background, my conversion will go up.

If my button to click on matches their button. My conversion will go up if I use the same words. Now, it’s not to say plagiarize or copy it, say, hey, look at this stuff, because this is what gets people to convert. This is what works. And you could do this. There were tests done where a guy went through and he was doing a click bank offer and he’s like, well, what if I just put a picture of the click bank order form? And he had the little click bank order form, I think was Jeff Mills with the ticket product. And he’s like, what if I just put a little screenshot of the click bank order forms so that they know what they’re gonna get? Conversion.

Skyrocketed. It’s a low image. Anyone can do that. Takes literally two seconds to make a little screen capture of a click make order form. And these are the things that make money. These are the things that work. If you’re promoting Amazon, maybe you should make it, you know, look a little bit like that. Maybe your buttons should be the same color. Maybe you should say go buy this at Amazon instead of go buy this. Right. If you’re doing Best Buy, go buy this at Best Buy here. Here’s what the form is gonna look like. Here’s what it’s gonna cost, right? Very, very, very important. And these are the things that get you conversion. These are the things that work. And in this day and age, you need conversion. If you don’t have conversion, it’s not going to work.

So to recap those six things, I think we have them here somewhere. There we go. To recap the six things that have to do with influence and persuasion.

Number one, reciprocity. Can I give you something? Therefore, you feel entitled to get something from me. Scarcity. How can I make this seem rare? Right. There’s only one hundred e-books left. No, that would be a lie. An e-book has a million copies because it’s EA electronic book. Can I do a. I’m only letting a hundred people in and be honest about it. Right. Scarcity. You know this won’t last long.

This is not gonna be around forever. Very important authority. How can I position myself as a thought? Why should I listen to you? Why should I listen to you? Why should I read your site? Consistency. Get micro commitment. Take. Click this button. Hey, do you like blue or red? I like blue. Little commitment. Do you like money or credit cards? Do you like this or this? Would you like to buy this or this? Very important choices. Choices are important, right? When we give people choices. Their brain has to choose. Right?

Do you want to get my simple cites course? Or the high ticket niche? Now that I did get Niches is more expensive, but it does a lot better for people because it’s done for you thing. But the simple like course is good if you want to do it yourself. So which would you like? I didn’t say. Do you want to buy my product or not? No, I said. Which one do you want? Car sales tactic. Hey, do you want this Lexus in blue or green? Blue. Okay, let’s go, Sonia. Would you like to buy this Lexus today? I’ll think about it. Worst words in sales. You never want people to think about it. You want to buy the damn thing right now.

That’s how it works, right? The way you do that is by following these steps. Authority, consistency, liking. Get people to like you. Right. A lot of people are sticking around, even though they don’t like my political views, even though I didn’t really share that many of them. But they still are like, you know what? I still like what he has to teach. I’ll still listen to him. Right. He provoked an emotion in me. Therefore, they’re more likely to buy social proof. If I had 10000 people by the simple sites course, why people like it. Lot of people get results, but thousands of people get the high ticket niches. What people like it works really well. Very, very important. And we’ve got to focus on that. If you want to learn to make money. Focus on persuasion. I don’t care if you could get traffic cheap. I don’t care if you can get traffic cheap. I don’t care if you get the most views on YouTube. I don’t care without persuasion. You got nothing.

Posting Ads on Facebook For Money

When browsing on Facebook, if you’ve ever seen an ad like this

Or this

Then you have witness someone making money with Facebook ad arbitrage.

But how does this even work and can you make as much as thirteen hundred and seventy seven dollars a day with Facebook ad arbitrage?

Well, that’s what we’re going to be talking about.

Now, first, I think it’s very important that you understand how this concept of arbitrage works.

Arbitrage is simply the art of buying low and selling high.

Let’s take a real world example.

With gas prices right now, gas prices are an astounding dollar and ninety one cents per gallon. This is the lowest we’ve seen in years.

Now, if I was to go out there and purchase 20, 50 gallon barrels of gasoline at a dollar ninety one per gallon, that would be 1000 gallons of gas.

That cost me $1,910

And if I buy this gas low at a dollar ninety one a gallon and sell it when it goes up to three dollars and 50 cents a gallon, that would equal fifteen hundred and ninety dollars in profit for me.

But the downside is that I have to have all these barrels of gas and I need to wait around and hope for the prices to go up soon so that I can make a profit. Or I could go into the gas and oil’s future market and simply bet on the rise of the price of gas.

And I’ll make money when gas goes back up again and I get to pocket the difference.

This is known as arbitrage, the art of buying low and selling high.

It’s very easy to do, but in examples like this, he got to have a big investment to make it worth your time.

We see this happen all the time with forex trading and day trading and all kinds of stock trading where people are buying low and selling high and making fortunes every single day using the stock market.

This is the goal of every day trader to buy something low in the morning and sell it at a high price before the day ends. But what about people who don’t have a bunch of money to risk? Enter Facebook ad arbitrage.

Follow with me here.

A guy just browsing on Facebook isn’t worth much of anything, quite simply because we don’t know who he is or what he’s interested in. This is why right now Facebook ads are dirt cheap.

You can advertise to thousands of people for pennies on the dollar. But what if I took that same Facebook guys and put an ad in front of him about refinance rates or perhaps garaged organizer or vacation rentals or stock market by tips by getting that same guy on Facebook?

That wasn’t worth much to click one of these ads I have instantly and for zero cost increase the value of that Facebook user.

This is Facebook arbitrage.

We buy generic views super cheap and lead them to things that pay more money.

For example, did you know that right now people are paying as much as $5.70 cents a click over on Google AdWords for the word Garage storage systems

and up to $31.00 for refinance rates or $4.76 for vacation rentals and up to $7.94 for buying stocks.

And I can inflate the price of the clicks simply by finding people interested in these topics. I simply create a Facebook ad and run it to people browsing Facebook. I then take the visitors who click on that ad and send them to a simple three to five page web site describing whatever the topic was they clicked on.

And because my simple site is based on words that have a high value, it will then trigger ads from whatever ad platform I’m using and when they’re clicked on, I get paid. That’s right. I don’t even have to sell anything. I just get clicks on ads and I could do this all day long. One of my big sites about refinance average over 13 hundred and seventy seven dollars a day using this exact method.

Now you want to be careful and follow all the terms and conditions of the paid search engine you’re using so that you don’t step on any toes. But for the most part, this can be done very easy. You can also do this with CPA, affiliate offers, click bank and anything else that fits your topic that pays you money. And the key to making this work is instantly inflating the value of your click by figuring out a little bit more about your visitor. Each and every time if you’ve got a guy on Facebook, they don’t really know a lot about him. But if he clicks an ad, then we know a little bit more about him and we know what he’s interested in. And we can serve ads to him based on that.

These requirements should thus guide you into knowing whether you are fit the laid standards to become a twitch affiliate.

You should have at least 50 followers before signing up to become a twitch affiliate.

You need to stream for about 500 minutes in the last 30 days in 7 different broadcast periods. This means that streaming for a single day for eight the 500 minutes does not guarantee you to be a twitch affiliate. You need to play in at least seven days per month.

Being a twitch affiliate requires more effort, and you will not just win a chance by streaming for longer periods in the platform. The number of people who watch you as you stream through the platform also plays a significant part in determining your influence on other players and how you can successfully promote the company services. You should, therefore, have at least three or more viewers in a month watching you as you stream through the twitch platform.

It may seem difficult, but it is easy to attain these requirements if you are determined to earn more money from the twitch affiliate program. If you are committed and becoming a twitch affiliate, you can achieve these requirements within a month or 2.

How to become a Twitch affiliate

If you have attained all the requirements of becoming a Twitch affiliate, it is time to devote your whole time to successfully becoming an affiliate in the Twitch Company and begin making more money by marketing the company’s products and services. The entire process requires dedication and a great plan on how to go through all through the procedures.

steps to becoming a twitch affiliate

1.    Stream on Twitch
Streaming on the Twitch is the first step you need to undergo to become an affiliate in the Twitch platform. This may take quite some time, and you will need some commitment and be dedicated to complete all the steps.
•    Time
You need to get enough time to attain the laid requirements of becoming a Twitch Affiliate. Spare seven days in a month to stream through the Twitch platform to ensure that you attain the 500 minutes in a month requirement. If you are a fun of blogging, it should not be a great challenge to you since you will be determined to achieve the given target to earn more money from the website. Besides getting enough time to stream, you need to ensure that you get at least three or more viewers as you stream through the Twitch platform.
•    Timing
You should also be careful at the time of the day in which you are going to stream through the platform. You should not waste your time and resources streaming when you have no viewers watching at your videos. Get a proper timing when you can meet more audience to attain the three viewers requirement successfully. Streaming during the day is not an excellent strategy to reach more audiences since more people will be on the daily schedules and may not get time to view your video games as well. Therefore you need to consider probably streaming at night when more people are available to watch.
•    Schedule
If you need to attract more audience to your video games, then you should stream consistently. You will get more followers if you maintain consistency in your video streaming. Your audience will keep checking on you to watch your videos for entertainment. Streaming after every four days will not only discourage your followers from following you, but it will make it hard to get more viewers for your videos. People want to watch videos consistency from your account, and this can only be achieved if you stick to a regular schedule. It may be challenging, but once you get used to it, it becomes fun and a routine as well. Streaming in an aim to entertain your audience is a better strategy to get the required number of followers and viewers other than being determined to achieve your targets. The more your audience gets entertained, the more you are likely to attain the given standards of becoming a Twitch Affiliate.
•    Invite more people to stop by your stream
After outlining a proper schedule on when you need to be streaming your games, you need to invite more people to watch your videos. You need to advertise your stream to as many people as possible to get more followers. Below are some of the top ways to promote your stream.
•    Social media
People will always spend more time in social media platforms trying to get updates on the recent trends. Advertising your stream schedules through these platforms is thus a great way to reach many audiences and as well invite more followers to your stream.  Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram are ideal platforms to inform people about your time schedules when you will be streaming. Different followers will also be free to engage with you through; lively conversations on how your video games are exciting, which will also attract more followers to your video games. You may consider posting your video games as you include your Twitch link on your posts to make it easy for your audience to follow you on your Twitch account. Be interactive with your audience and make friends with them you can even send personalized messages through their email addresses and as well provide your Twitch account link.
•    Game choice
You need to choose the right game to attract your audience’s attention. Do not go for games that are too popular or games that none of your viewers are aware about. No one will be interested in games that they have no idea about. You should consider both extremes and therefore opt for a game that neither new to most followers nor too popular. It should be an exciting game that will be fun to all your audience. If you consistently play the exciting game, you will increase and maintain more followers on your website.
•    Get to know other streamers
The Twitch platforms consist of two parties, namely the viewers and the streamers. Building stronger relationships with your viewers is a great strategy to increase your followers and also maintain the number of subscribers into your channel for more earnings. However, getting to know other streamers is a good move to increase your audiences. You can get better tips on how they increase their followers and viewers and also get the chance to be hosted in their site. This may help you introduce a new audience to your channel as well. Creating a stronger network is indeed a great way to grow your Twitch account, and therefore creating stronger bonds with other streamers can help you increase your followers as well.
•    Keep improving
You need to ensure that your Twitch affiliate account is running each day effectively, and you can reach new audiences each time you promote the Twitch services. Deploy effective means to keep improving your account and advancing it to the Twitch partner’s level.

Becoming a Twitch affiliate

Once you have attained the Twitch affiliate status, you need to consistently post more content on your account to increase your subscribers. If you are likely to convince more subscribers, then this reflects more earning that you are likely to make within that given period. You can also track down your affiliate progress in the Path to Affiliate icon on your affiliate dashboard. This tab will clearly signify you when you are too close to being an affiliate or when you are too far from being one in the Twitch platform.
You need to understand that for you to become a Twitch affiliate, you must be invited to the affiliate program and, therefore, no chance of applying for being a Twitch affiliate. In case you do not maintain a regular posting on your account, your followers may stop following your streams, and thus your account could be rendered inactive in a period more than one year, which could as well compel you to lose your affiliate status in the Twitch affiliate program.

What you gain by being a Twitch affiliate 

Getting more subscribers to the Twitch platform helps you earn more money in terms of commission for every subscriber that you referred to the site. You can also make money by selling the Twitch games and in-game purchases. Through the use of Bits and premium emoticons, Twitch affiliates can also make more money from the platform. If a subscriber or your follower uses a Bit on your channel, you are guaranteed to earn a 1 cent commission for making a referral. The number of Bits, therefore, reflects the number of followers watching your streams.

The amount of income thus earned from the platform is therefore related to the amount of content posted on a day to day or weekly basis. If you have attained the Twitch status after meeting the affiliate requirements, you should also be encouraged to becoming a Twitch partner.

Difference between Twitch partner and Twitch affiliate

Getting an invitation to become a Twitch partner is not easy at all. You will need to work hard and be determined to get such a rank and enjoy the opportunities of being a Twitch partner.
•    Twitch partners have unlimited storage for their videos, and they are allowed to even store the video games for two months on the platform, unlike the Twitch affiliates whose storage is limited to only 14 days.
•    Twitch partners are also privileged to delay their streams to about 15 minutes while such features are restricted in Twitch affiliate accounts.
•    During payments, Twitch affiliates must cover their payment fees and also the stated payout frame in about 60 days, unlike in the Twitch partner accounts where the account covers all fees, and the partners can wait for about45 days to receive their payments.
You may be discouraged due to the lengthy procedures of becoming a Twitch partner and eventually just strive to earn more income from the Twitch affiliate account. This is not a good idea and you should instead be encouraged to working harder by producing quality content consistently and doing all you can to promote more sells and invite more subscribers to the platform. This will not only allow you to enjoy the privileges of a Twitch partner but also increase your earnings as well.

Becoming a Twitch affiliate and later advancing to a Twitch partner can be a significant challenge. However, with determination and devoting much of your time on improving your content on the platform, you can easily succeed in the Twitch affiliate community. Live streaming through the Twitch affiliate platform can provide a steady income if effective means are employed to refer more people to the Twitch platform.

Can you make $100 a day or more freelance writing?

Top Freelance Training Courses

1. My Freelance Paycheck
2. Freelance Profit Academy

Can you just sit in your home and type some things on the old keyboard and put money in your pocket?

Well, today that’s what we’re gonna talk about.

And also, my secret big payday examples. These are big paydays.

These are not like little paydays.

These are huge paydays where you can get a lot of money.

Now let’s go ahead and dive right into the content and show you how this stuff works.

First of all, in order to be a freelance writer you need to do several different things.

First and foremost, you can go out there and you can go on these different sites that I’m going to show you and you can write content for various different people and companies, and that’s all fine and good. You can get a couple of bucks, maybe a couple 100 bucks for a big article or a big piece of content.

But the key to making this work and the key to making a lot of money from the comfort of your own home are going to be to pick your genre, which is kind of like a niche.

You’re gonna make a lot more money if you specialize in something specific.

If you specialize in something specific and you go out there and say, OK, well, I am the expert on tech writing or I’m the expert on writing for sports or medicine or health or finance. When you pick that genre, you are instantly going to be more valuable in your market.

For example, when I first started my search engine optimization company about 20 years ago, instead of going out and saying, hey, I’m just the FCO guy, I’ll get your ranked on the search engines. What I did is I broke it up into different categories. And then I said, well, I’m the expert in getting limousine companies ranked on the search engines or I’m the expert in getting magic stores ranked on the search engines or cigar places or whatever it is. And because of that, I was able to charge a lot more. I was able to get a lot more people interested because instead of just I’m a writer or I’m an SEO guy. I was now something specific to that group.

So that’s a very important to look at as well.

So what we need to do first and foremost is we need to pick our genre. What are we gonna go for? How are we going to talk to these people? How are we gonna understand this and say, this is what I’m doing? And when you do that, when you isolate and become a specialist, you get specialist pay, much like you can have a general practitioner doctor versus a brain surgeon. Obviously, brain surgeon is going to make more money. Again, he’s specializing on one specific thing, not the whole gamut.

Number two, we want to practice and put together a portfolio or do test paid gigs.

Okay. Now, this is important because me at heart, I like to make money as I go along. I don’t want to set something up and wait 10 years for my first dollar to come in. So one of the things that you can do is you can go on sites that are generic and you could start bidding on jobs in a certain category and you could say, I’m going to write for finance or I’m going to write for mortgage or finance, write for weight loss or a write for this or that. Start to write that type of content, put some money in your pocket by doing them, and then use those as your portfolio and you can actually link to the sites that they post the content on or whatever it is, or you can share the content.

Just make sure people don’t copy it because you’re paid to do that content, but you can use that as part of your portfolio while you get paid.

And obviously me, I’ve hired lots of writers over the years, probably hundreds of writers, some of them in-house, many of them outsource. And I’ve gone through, and when they have a good portfolio, I tend to stick with them. If they have stuff that’s not that good. I’m like, okay, yeah. I don’t really want you to be writing for my stuff.

So number two is to practice and put together a portfolio and we’re going to get into a bunch of sites that you can use to start making money right away. And we’re going to get into my big payday secret, which is really cool.

So number three, we want to get good at research and compiling.

That’s what writing is about. You’re not going to write anything, blockbuster New Under the Sun, as Solomon said in the Bible. There’s pretty much nothing new under the sun. Everything goes around, comes around.

But we can go out there and we can focus on things that are going to help.

We can focus on doing the research, figuring out what people are looking at, figuring out what gets response. Look at top news articles. Look at top sites that are showing different content. Look at the things that you read every day and look at how they’re structured and then go from that and get really good at compiling and researching for your topic.

Number four, you want to find some good places that pay for your writing.

So very important. We’re going to give you I think we have like 15, 13 or 15 or something like that, sites that will actually pay you that you could go on right now, start bidding on jobs right now right this minute and probably get paid within 24 hours or less so to recap this little list.

1. Pick your genre, your niche practice and 2. put together a portfolio, 3. get good at research and compiling,and 4. find good places that will pay.

Now, bonus tip number five is to learn to sell in print.

This is the art of persuasive writing. If you could do persuasive writing or copywriting, you’re going to be able to get paid a lot more. For example, if I write a 30 page article, I might get paid $100 or so. If I write a 30 page sales letter. I might get paid several thousand dollars or more. Very important to look at. And if we can learn this skill, which isn’t that hard to learn, even if you hate sales, even if you don’t like sales.

Right, you’ve got to get in there and make this work and say, OK, well, I could learn to sell and print. Now, if you want to learn to sell and print again, we’re going to have some resources for you over it. You can look at Gary Halbert. Very good stuff. He passed away several years ago. You can look at Clayton, Makepeace, he has a lot of good info on copywriting. Unfortunately, he passed away, I believe it was yesterday. Older gentleman. And then Dan Kennedy, who also passed away. But unfortunately, we lost these guys. But we still have a lot of good resources that they put out and their legacy still lives on. And we can learn copywriting and marketing from them.

And it’s not that hard to do. It really comes down to writing something that says, here’s the problem, here’s what I got. Here’s what it’s going to do for you and here’s where to get it right. Problem, agitation, solution, very simple to do.

Tip number 6 is learn to make content for a specific purpose.

Making content for a specific purpose is going to stand you away from the crowd. If you’re writing news articles, that’s different than just a generic writer. If you’re writing newsletter content or auto responder messages, that’s different than just regular writing. If you’re writing something like a technical manual, that’s going to be different than something else. And we look at this and it works really, really well.

For example, one of the things I did recently in our Facebook group, since a lot of people are struggling financially and they’re staying home, is I offered a bunch of people that are following my stuff the ability to write for me based on the things I’m doing. And we obviously pay well for those. And we’ve got a lot of response, which is why I’m doing this video, because I think a lot of people staying home right now are struggling with with finances and they want a way to be able to supplement their income or make a couple extra bucks while they might be laid off or furloughed or staying home or whatever it is.

And you can do this. And if you learn to make that content for a specific purpose, I think you’re going to do a lot better than just being the generic writer.

So now let’s get into some sites that you can use that you could start making money right away.

We have 15 sites.

Now, the first one is my favorite one. This is upwork.

Upwork is good because you could go over to Upworthy and you can start a profile and you could start bidding on jobs right away and. UpWork is actually one of the higher paid ones where other people are paying like five to ten dollars for an article up. Work could pay you forty five dollars, one hundred dollars or more for your you’re writing jobs.

Another one we have is flexjobs.

You can go to flexjobs. These are, as it says, flexible jobs. You can go on there and you can bid on jobs, writing jobs, site building jobs, whatever it is you want.

You can also use solidgigs, which is really good, right? Solidgigs. You can go there and you can bid on various gigs, a lot like fiverr, but more robust and less five dollars.

Next, you can do FreelanceWritersDen or Probloggerboard. They have tons of jobs there that you could bid on for writing and blog posting and guest posting. And in these times, a lot of people are looking for content for their site and we can provide it.

Forum sites are always looking for content. The news is always looking for content. Everyone’s always looking for content. And we can get in there and we can fill the void working from home, making as much as 100 dollars a day or more.

I’m going to show you how to get those big paydays and how to build your income and compound on what you did the day before, because obviously all these fifteen sites are great. You can go and you can get paid. But at the end of the day, when you’re done with the job, you get your check and that’s it. That company goes on and makes money with what you wrote. But for you, that’s it, which is fine. I mean, obviously, we need that kind of thing in this economy. But for those that want to learn even more, we’re going to show you even more.

So we’ve got pro blogger job board. We have WhoPaysWriters. We have a writer bloggingpro, freelancer.com peopleperhour. This is where you pay people per hour. Again, a lot like fiverr.

You can use Craigslist, a lot of companies out there on Craigslist looking for people to be full time writers, part time writers or. Just do a job. You don’t have to be an expert. You just need to know how to compile perfect content. It’s really not that hard. You just write like you speak. Very simple, right?

Don’t try to sit down and make some grand Shakespearean work. Just go and try to solve the problem that people have when they’re looking up, whatever it is you’re writing about.

Next, we have fiverr, fiverr is always a good place to go and find people from $5 up to several hundred dollars for writing blog content. Found a guy yesterday that was eighty dollars for eight hundred words, which that’s not bad. It’s like 10 cents a word. And if you think about that, that adds up. And if you do one or two of those a day or something like that, one point three to be exact. I think it is. You can then make hundred dollars a day and it’s not that hard to do.

Writing eight hundred words is. I mean I think I usually write about twenty one hundred words in like an hour and a half. Obviously some things you need to research, but as you go along you’re gonna get better at it. You’re going to understand it and you’ll be able to write in a way that pleases the person buying it.

Next, you could do hirewriters. I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars on hirewriters over the years and we bid on it. We get different jobs, right? I’ll do a job where I want 100 articles written and 100 different people or 50 different people or whatever. We’ll bid on the various different jobs and I’ll have content within 24 hours, which is really cool.

Now, a lot of people that are writers on hirewriters are making money. Downside. You’re not making that much. I think for a 300 word article, you get like $2 and twenty five cents if you’re a beginner and $10 if you’re an expert. So it’s not a huge payout. But again, do 10 of them a day and you can start making money. And it’s not that hard to make a 300 to 500 word article. You just got to do a little bit of research. Figure out what it is. Put it together. Send it over and cash your check, which is very easy now.

Hirewriters is one of the lower paid ones, but it’s good for beginners. You don’t need any credentials. You don’t need anything crazy. You just go on there and you do it.

Number 14, we have better paid blog gigs where you could get paid better for blog gigs. Right. And this is like guest writing and making content for blogs.

And then lastly, number fifteen, we have LinkedIn jobs. So you could go out there and you could start doing this today and you could literally go out there today and go to hirewriters or up work or whatever and start writing content. It’s not that hard to do. And oftentimes you don’t even need a portfolio. You just go on there and you write.

And if you do a good job, obviously you’re gonna get paid if you do a bad job. They’ll probably be like, hey, fix this up and then I’ll pay you. Right. But it’s actually really, really easy to do. And this is something anyone can do. Make sure you keep track of your your payments because you will be taxed depending on where you live. But for the most part, this is a very, very good way to make money. There’s a lot of writers out there that make forty thousand dollars a year, some that make one hundred thousand dollars a year and some that make even more. And we’re going to show you how that works and just a little bit. But I wanted to put this together for you so you understand how freelance writing works. Where to go to be a freelance writer. If you’re in a crunch and you need to make money, you can start doing this stuff right now.

Here Is A List Recap:

1. Upwork***

Now let’s get into the bad news. The bad news is you’re gonna get like one penny to 10 cents a word, right?

So if I write an 800 word article, I’m probably gonna get around eight to ten bucks, maybe 20 bucks, maybe eighty dollars on the higher end. So it’s not a huge paid gig. But again, they don’t take that long to write these. Now, let me tell you one of the secrets.

One of the big secrets, if you are going to be a freelance writer, is to specialize instead of just writing, maybe write for explainer videos, maybe write ad copy, maybe write content for specific niches, resume, raise and profile. Copy is huge, especially right now where a lot of people are out of work. The Fed is estimating you’re going to have 30 percent unemployment soon, which is worse than the Great Depression. If you follow the numbers, which is pretty difficult, don’t know how long that lasts, but hopefully it short. But you have a lot of people out of work that are going to be fixing up their resumé soon.

And you could do resume writing for them. Profile copy, like believe it or not, people actually pay you to write profile stuff for like Facebook profiles or LinkedIn profiles or job profiles or whatever it is. And it’s very, very easy to do. You can also do slideshows, right? Right now, I’m using a slide show. I write my own slide shows, but I actually considered outsourcing this one so that I didn’t have to do all the research.

But by the time I had the research done, it was quicker to do it myself. Anyway you could do slideshows and notes, you could do eBook editing, landing pages and sales pages. These are going to ramp up your earnings exponentially. You’re gonna go through and instead of just doing like a five hour gig for five bucks for five hundred words, you can actually do five hundred words of ad. Copy and make a hell of a lot more like a hell of a lot like a hundred dollars, 500 bucks. Crazy when you do it the right way. So these are the ways you can do it.

Make sure you specialize. Make sure you focus on stuff and then go out there, pick some of these sites and start bidding on jobs. And you could literally get paid by the end of the day or tomorrow or whatever it is. A lot of places pay by PayPal or wire or all kinds of different ways. Check. Sometimes it really doesn’t matter where you live. As long as you can write good content in the language that people want to buy it in which majority is English? So if you understand me, you’re qualified. Congratulations.

Now let’s get into the big payday stuff, right?

(check out this video to learn to build simple sites for big profits)

What’s the big payday plan? Because here’s the deal. At the end of the day, you can do this. You can write content. You can go out there and you can get paid for your content. At the end of the day, I go to work. Right. And then I have to go to work tomorrow to get paid again.

All right. That’s not my favorite way to make money. That’s what’s called a job. Even if you’re freelance, it’s still a job. You’ve got to work to get paid. Now, if you stop looking for the quick buck. Right. I could do what’s called I think it was John Rese who came up with this in the old days. Might’ve been Corey Rudle, but I don’t remember any said “sacrifice early profits”.

And I want you to pay attention, because this is exciting, because if I could write content for someone else, I can write content for myself. And if I understand how to write content for myself and position it right, I can make far more money. L

We could build something. So instead of like getting a brick and selling that brick today, what if I got that brick and I started building something out of it? And every day, one brick on top of the other brick. And pretty soon I have a big wall. Pretty cool right?

The bricks are like your content. So if I’m a content piece here, that’s like three hundred words in here. Three thousand and a thousand and whatever. And I have all this content. The goal is to get a bunch of people reading my content every day.

If I can get bunch of people reading my content every day. That’s the name of the game. Why do you think the news companies make billions of dollars? Lots of people watch their content every day. Those people create the content. People watch it. Boom. There you go. Now, the news is kind of short lived, right?

We watch the news today and then tomorrow we watch it the next day. We don’t really go back and watch yesterday’s news unless you’re a weirdo like me. Sometimes you do that.

But we go through and we can get people to watch it over and over and online stuff lives in cyberspace forever. There are things that I did 20 years ago that are still out there getting me traffic and making me money today. Plain and simple. That’s how it worked.

So if we can get a bunch of people reading our content every day, then we can run ads and lead them to stuff that pays. Let me show you how this works, because if you understand this, it’s you’re gonna be mind blown. Now, some people are gonna be like, Marcus, I just need the quick buck. And that’s fine. But do both. Right?

Do both of them do the quick buck so that you can live today and then do the other stuff on your part time, maybe an hour, two hours, three hours a day and start building over time and you can have something that’s huge and get a big payday and wait till you see the paydays that we’re looking at.

And again, the results are not typical, implied or guaranteed. I don’t know if you’ll make one hundred dollars a day, $1 a day or a million dollars a day or nothing a day. I have no idea because I don’t know what you’re going to do.

You’re probably if you’re like most people, you’ll just watch this video and be like, thanks for the info. Marcus is rather entertaining, but I’m not going to do anything. Just like the guy  yesterday who’s been following me since 2001. Like this dude has been watching my stuff since 2001. I didn’t even teach in 2001. But he followed my stuff and learned Internet marketing and he’s like, I’m still not making money. And I’m like, well, what are you doing? Well, I don’t know. I I’ve been looking for a way to make money. And I’m like, you’ve been looking for a way to make money for 20 years and have made everything okay. It’s time to change things.

So we’ve got to look at this and we’ve got to build and we got to focus because here’s the deal. I can write an article today. I could go on one of those sites. I can write a big old article and I could give 50 bucks. I could write two of them and get $100 today.

That’s great. I can do that. And if I’m in a crunch and I need some money, sometimes that’s what you have to do. I know the business culture like talks down to people who have normal jobs. And I’m not like that. I don’t think we should talk down to people doing normal jobs because sometimes we’ve got to do what we have to do. Sometimes people were not born with what I was born with. Some people were not born with the skill set that big entrepreneurs were born with. So what we got to do is we’ve got to focus on what we need to do today and then we’ve got to focus on how to build tomorrow. Got to start small and Bill, so I can write an article today and I can get $50 in my bank. Wonder. I’ll go get a couple of groceries or make dinner or whatever. OK. Pay my cell phone bill. I don’t. Our cell phone bills like way more than that. I don’t know why, but at any rate. Right. You could pay some things, would you? Fifty bucks.

Now, if you do that and I sit here and I say I’m going to write a piece of content and all I want to do, my sole focus on this piece of content is to make one dollar a day every day. Right. I mean, anyone can do that. It’s not that hard.

All I got to do is say, I’m going to focus on the people who are reading and to focus on making one dollar a day.

That’s all. I’m gonna do this one piece of content. I wanted to make a dollar a day every day. All right. If I do that. Watch what happens.

You’re going to sit there and you’re going to be like Marcus. You don’t understand. Oh, I’ve got my $50 in my pocket watch in my cigar and I’ve got $50 and you have one dollar. I’m so much better off than you. And that’s how a lot of people think.

That’s not thinking wealthy. That’s thinking poor.

So we want to change your mindset, because if you’re there and you’re like, I got my 50 bucks, you got your one buck, I win.

Watch what happens at the end of the year. The tables are gonna turn and you’re gonna sit there and you’ll be like, well, I made my 50 bucks each and every day.

And that’s really good. Really great. I made myself. Fifteen hundred dollars a month or eighteen thousand a year.

But here’s me. All I did is the same amount of work. I wrote one article a day, one piece of content, a day focused on what people search for.

All I want is a dollar a day each on average. So we’ll make 50 a day. So we’ll make 50 cents a day. So we’ll make nothing a day. Right. If you do it right, you should make something a day. But it’s average law of averages. I don’t think it’s difficult for anyone watching this to set out to learn the stuff that I teach and make one article that makes a dollar a day.

And again, you’re going to be sitting there, say, Marcus, I got 50 bucks. You got one buck. I’m winning.

But at the end of the day, right at the end of the year, I have now built myself an income source of three hundred and sixty five dollars a day.

Think about that. Right. And I also got paid to do it. I was trying to do a calculator that would make this work. But I’m not a math brain even asked my kids. It’s like, is there an algebra equation for this? But at any rate, we just listed it out at the end of the year. I make way more than you. And then guess what? Next year, you got to go to work. You got to go to work.

I don’t.

My sites and blogs on average are going to average the money, they’re going to keep going and I’m going to sit back and I’m going to be making myself eleven thousand three hundred and fifteen dollars a month or more because oftentimes these grow and grow and grow and there we go.

And all I did was instead of saying “I’m going to write an article for 50 bucks” I said, I gotta focus on making a dollar a day per article.

That’s it. That’s what I’m going to do. And when you focus on that, you can get it done and you can do this. Like you could even go and make more. Some of my articles have made like a thousand dollars a day. We just got to look at it.

You can go and you can make more. You could turn your article into a video. What you think I’m doing right now? This is basically an article I wrote which is in the form of notes. Turning it into a video I can make p.d.’s to give away to people. People love p.d.f’s. I could do lists. Here’s a list of the top 50, whatever. Here’s a list of the top 10. Whatever. And we go through. I can turn it into audio even if I don’t want to read it. I can have someone else read it or use an auto generated voice. I can make a little calculators. I can make a little tools. I can do whatever I want. And now here’s the deal. A lot of you guys are like Marcus, but I really need the 50 bucks. Fine. Go get it. I showed you how to do it. But you can actually go through and use the fast profit method, which is deliberately driving traffic to your article. Right. You’re going to learn to do this and you write an article based on what the people want, getting them into what you want.

Look at what I did in this training. I came on and I said, I’m going to teach you how to do freelance writing. OK. Yay! Wonderful.

What am I doing now? I’m showing you something better than freelance writing. Right. See how that works. I just flipped the market from freelance writing over to buy my shit. Right. Very simple to do. This is exactly what I do all day, every day.

Next, we could deliberately drive traffic. We could do Facebook ads or Facebook posts. Almost said Facebook, which would probably be the real name for it. Facebook ads or Facebook posts. I could do paper click. I could post guest posts on other sites to get traffic negative press releases.

I could do anything to boost these up and start making money right away. And guess what? The minute you rank on the search engine is the minute you start getting traffic and making money.

That’s how it works. If I did do that quicker, usually with a new site. If you do nothing, you don’t get picked up in a month. But if I use these, I could get picked up a lot faster. Now, here is the big payday. I want you to realize this because what did you do? This guy over here wrote some stuff and he’s like, I got my dollars and that’s cool. And it’s probably gone because you need to live on it.

This guy over here is like, I’m going to build something of value when you build something of value. People will pay for it.

The average Web site that makes money sells for like an 18 to 36 X monthly profit.

So if you have a site making a thousand dollars per month or month, that means it’s going to sell for thirty six thousand dollars.

Imagine having a site. You’re making a thousand bucks a month, putting a thousand in your pocket, and then one day you’re like, I’m gonna sell this and like buy a new car. Cash. You can do that!

If your site’s making 5000 a month, which again, remember, all I did is one article, $1 a day. So all I focused on 11 grand a month. Right. If I’m making five thousand a month, that would sell for like one hundred and eighty grand. Or if it’s ten thousand dollars or 5000 a month, if it’s doing ten thousand a month or more like three hundred and sixty thousand to upwards of a million dollars depending on how it’s doing and who the buyer is. Guys, this is happening right now. People are buying these things. But the problem is, is people are stuck on the quick buck.

That’s it. They say, I want money right now and that’s fine. Do that. Do both.

Like you go here and you get these $50 jobs or hundred dollar jobs or whatever. It’s going to teach you to write because you’re gonna be forced to write. Sometimes I gotta be like, okay, I’m going to sell a webinar because I know I’m not going to record a video unless there’s people that are waiting for me. So there we go. I’m going to create it.

But then I re-purpose it and everything like that. You can do that. You can make money, but also build something. You can build something.

And here’s how it works. And if you look at it, three hundred sixty thousand dollars for a website that’s like a frickin house or a Lamborghini if you want to be like the other gurus. Personally, I like my cherokee. Right? There you go. And my regular jeep. But apparently my daughter has inherited that now.

So you look at that, it’s like, man, you get a lot of stuff. You could build a new life by focusing on a dollar a day. It’s not that hard. And it’s all by making simple content based on easy to rank search terms. And all you gotta do is find them. Look at this.

This is the reason I’m doing this video, by the way. Right. Because I found people are looking for creative writing jobs, freelance writing jobs. Look at the competition. It’s like literally nothing. This is on a scale of zero to one hundred. Most of them are zero.

That means I could write about them and probably rank really easy.

Now, Marcus, what am I gonna sell?

Well, you can run some ads or you could sell this. A freelance profit guide. On Clickbbank and get twenty bseven ucks. All I need to do is get twenty seven articles to sell accumulation of one a day. Write off my twenty seven articles. Make one sale a day total. You know I’m going to get twenty seven dollars a day. There’s my dollar a day. That’s not that hard to do. Not that hard at all. Especially when you focus.

And you look at all the traffic that’s out here. Here’s another one you could do a freelance copywriting. That one pays $11 freelance paycheck that pays one hundred and fifteen dollars. So you guys see how this can add up. Really, really cool. Now, we’re gonna get into some really cool stuff in just a minute. Hold on to your seat because we’re diving in. And these are the big secrets. Here’s freelance writing. You can see that this has a lot of traffic here, tons of traffic. Great. Some of them are a little bit more competitive. But we can make this work now to show you that this works. I did a test back in December and I didn’t even do it fully.

I have a habit of starting something and like getting halfway. But the cool thing about this is even half way. It still works. And you guys could see I rank for freeadforum. We rank number two. Go search for freea forum like that. We’re number two. I get traffic every single day. How does honey make money? I teach people how the honey app makes money. That search term gets eighty seven hundred searches a month. And we’re Raking like anywhere from number 12 to number 10 depending on the day. And it’s rising. So it’s going to go up even more. Offer vault. We ranked number seven for that. Gets me traffic all the time. Leads all the time, sales all the time. Wix affiliate program review. Now notice I’m not just going for words about make money online. I’m going for the real stuff that real people search for that they want help with. This video is going for people that are looking for freelance jobs. They need help with it. I’m taking them in. I’m giving them the help and I’m flipping them into what I want. Wix affiliate program review. That’s one that gets traffic every day. Lyft and Uber affiliate program. We rank for both of those, I think number three and we go and they’re not competitive. My site’s not like a powerhouse of SEO. This is the first time I’ve actually done SEO on it.

So here’s what you do.

We find a good topic and we get some noncompetitive, deliberate keyword.

Here’s an example anyone on this call can do.

Best pillow, best cooling pillow, best memory foam pillow, best pillow for back sleepers, best pillow for stomach sleep. You guys can. All right. Content on this. It’s not that hard. You do. Forty five minutes an hour, maybe three hours of research. You write an article and you sell some pillows. Right. And we’re like. Here we go. Here’s all the traffic. Thirty six hundred searches a month. Thirty two hundred thirty. One hundred. And on and on we go. Right. Tons and tons of traffic. If you made a pillow review Web site, you could build these numbers. It’s not hard to do. Well, Marcus, how am I going to build these numbers? What am I gonna sell? Am I gonna go to Amazon and sell a pillow? No. Cause that pays you pennies. I’m going to go over to the affiliate networks and I’m gonna have forty four dollars for selling a cold sleep pillow. And I think there was a key word about cold, best cooling pillow. There you go. The first keyword fits that one. I get $44 a sale sell to two of those a day and make it thirty six grand a year. You know, not that hard to do. Sleep now. Luxury pillow, sleep gram, pillow, forty and on and on we go. So there’s a lot of stuff where you can make a lot of money.

Here’s another example. What to put for desired salary. Who the hell would search for this? Like think about it. Who’s gonna go out there and search for. What to put for desired salary?

Well.

Someone looking for a job. They got their job application. It says desired salary and they’re like, what do I put? Put a million dollars a year because that’s what I want. But I know I’m worth twenty thousand a year. So what do I put? Three thousand people a month are searching for that. And the competition is nothing. Nothing. And so what do we do? Well, you could do one or two things. One, you could put the train track over here, put some normal ads on it and get two cents per click on the ads. Which means if you get a hundred clicks and ten, click on the ad, you made 20 cents. Congratulations. You now suck at marketing.

Or you could do what I call flip the market and look deeper into what they want. For example, these pillow guys. Nobody wants to buy a pillow. Nobody does. What do they want? They want better sleep. There you go.

You look at it and you’re like, boom! I can use these words to sell a two thousand dollar sleep number bed if I want to. If I do it right. But what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna flip the market. So what to put on a desired salary? I could go out there and I could put ads for job interview tips. Dollar Thirty per click. So now it’s that two cents. Now I’m getting like a percentage of a dollar. 41 thirty a click resume. A builder three to four dollars a click job. Web sites. Six dollars a click. Would you rather have a percentage of six dollars a click or a percentage of two cents a click. Let me think about that a minute. I think I’m going to go with six bucks. Here’s some other things you can offer. The ultimate guide to job interview answers $20 a sale resumé. Now it’s an email. They put their email on the site and I get a dollar twenty and I want to buy anything. Unemployment help her dollar 48. An email linked in learning. Thirty two dollars a sale. Right? These are the things I can use, but the average person out there is gonna go and do normal ads and they’re gonna make normal money and they’re gonna wonder why internet marketing sucks.

It sucks because you’re not paying attention because if I can get the traffic I need to maximize it and I could build these and I could easily go out there and make this work again. If you want the notes from this, go to downloadmynotes.com, there is a link after you put your name and email in. That’ll show you how to start your first Web site. Very simple. You can go in there, find your niche, start your first Web site. Cost about ninety dollars a year for a Web site and you can have as many as you want on the same account. So I can run like 20, 50, 100 Web sites on the same $70 a year. It does say a month. Yeah. Seventy to ninety dollars a year. So it’s like six bucks a month or something like that. And I can run that site and that’s all I need. So you could go out there and you could do freelance writing or you could go out there and you could build a huge business.

The writing is the same. The time is the same. This is actually going to be easier because you’re gonna be all on the same topic and you get to write about what you want to write about. And it makes it super, super easy. You could be a freelance writer or you could build your own blog or you could do both. Which is my recommendation, because if you need money now, you might as well do both and you might as well start building something big. And at first it might start out a little slow, might only make a couple of dollars, $5, but it’s going to start to grow. And as you build and grow and build and grow, you’re going to start to build something big. And you guys can see the paydays out there for these sites are big and people are buying them all the time.

Working from home can seem like the ultimate dream at first… sitting around, relaxing by the pool and making money.

You’ve all seen the commercials…

But what are the things you need to know to stay productive?

Because if you don’t do it right, things can turn to a disaster quickly.

Hi there. My name is Marcus and I’ve been working from home for the better part of 20 years now.

And in that time I’ve learned that the work at home person wears a lot of hats.

I have to be a part time chef, a therapist to my kids, work on that endless to do list for my wife. Make sure the dog gets enough attention. Become a part time tutor for my kids when they need help.

All on top of trying to work from home and oftentimes wearing these different hats can kill your productivity.

So today, I’m going to show you fifteen things that I’ve learned over the last 20 years that are going to help you stay focused without losing your mind.

So let’s dove in to number one.

1. shower and get dressed before you start

The first thing you need to realize when working from home is that everything is about your mindset.

If you don’t protect your mindset and you’re not in the right frame of mind, you’re not going to get anything done.

Which is why the first thing I do when I get up is take a shower and get dressed in something other than sweats in a t shirt, which is kind of tempting to do at first. But getting dressed in something a little bit more upscale is going to change my mind and focus me on the work that I need to do.

Remember, if you dress lazy, you’re going to feel lazy, and if you feel lazy, you’re not going to get anything done.

So I find that one of the most important things to do is change my morning routine.

This changes everything because it puts me in the frame of mind and it also tells my family, hey, dude is going to work. Leave him alone. That’s an important one.

Now let’s go on to number two, which is to close all distractions.

2.close all distractions during work time (fb, insta, skype, news, ect)

Again, remember, mindset is everything in the mind is like a lens and you get what you focus on. And if you try to focus on work, but you have Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and the news running in the background, you’re never really going to give time to the task at hand.

And I want you to realize that it’s been proven that multitasking doesn’t actually exist.

What actually happens is you’re splitting your time between each individual thing. And if you start something and pause, start something and pause. You’re never really giving all your attention to one thing. You’re just stretching it over time and making yourself more stressed out. So it’s very important to guard your mind and close off the distractions when it’s time to get something done.

Which brings us into number three

3. focus on what you want to get done (action)

Focus on the task you want to get done, have a clear outcome and say, I’m going to do this for the next hour, two hours, three hours or however long it takes.

I’m going to do this until I get it done. I’m not going to get distracted. I’m not going to get up. I’m not going to focus on whatever gossip my family calls to tell me about what’s going on. I’m going to focus on what I need to do, focusing your mind in this way. It’s going to help you get a lot done in a shorter amount of time and then you can go on and see what else everyone’s doing.

Now, number four is a really important one.

4. locate your work “safe space”

This is to locate a safe space where you’re going to get your work done. It could be tempting to lay on the couch and hang out with everyone.

You need to find a place where you can sit upright or stand if that’s your thing, and focus on what you need to get done, whether that’s in a spare bedroom, your own bedroom, somewhere you can close the door, somewhere you can get isolated and do your own thing.

That’s the best way to get work done for me. I had a little office built my backyard, and I understand not everyone can do that. I’ve worked out of my garage, a spare bedroom. I’ve even worked out of spaces in the back yard. As long as I have Wi-Fi that reaches out there and I’ve been able to get things done really, really fast by isolating myself for the time I need.

Remember, we don’t need to isolate for eight hours a day, just for the time that you need to get things done.

And if you start to separate time, actually working from time, going from thing to thing and being distracted, I think you’re going to find that you have a lot more time than you realize.

Which brings us to number five.

5. find your peak time and use that for “creation”

Find your peak time and use that for creation. What I like to do is I like to find the time that I might my best. Usually it’s in the morning from about 10 to 12 a.m. That time I use for important things like recording this video, putting up a blog post, doing a livestream or writing an article.

And I find that utilizing this peak time for the most important tasks is best because you’re at your best.

And later on during the day when you have that 3 o’clock crash after lunch, that’s when you take all your phone calls and deal with all the people you’ve got to deal with. But I make sure to focus my peak time on the tasks that I know take the most mental energy and work. And by doing those in my peak time, it makes a day a lot less stressful.

Which brings us to number six.

6. find your BLAH time and use that for busywork

You’re going to find out that during your day, there’s a lot of downtime tasks and busy work that you need to do, whether you’re an entrepreneur or whether you just have to work from home right now. You’re going to find there’s a lot of tasks throughout your day that are just kind of blah and you want to do those blah tasks when you feel blah.

So it’s best to schedule all the busy work and the blah tasks for times when your kids might need you. Or times when you’re cooking. Or times that you are busy with other things. That way it’s really easy. Work that you can get done and you can focus on it kind of while you’re doing other stuff. And of course, you’ve already focused your peak time for the work that takes the most and the rest of the day becomes a lot easier for you.

Number seven is a killer.

7. limit time on useless or extended conversations

You’re going to find that when you work from home. Everyone wants to talk to you all day, every day about nothing. And what we need to do as people working from home or entrepreneurs is limit access to us during our most important times of the day and make sure that we limit wasteful or useless conversations with other people, which can be quite tempting.

Which brings us to number eight.

8. let your family know when your peak time is so they don’t bug you

And that is to let your family know when you’re at your peak time so that they can not bother you. I like to let my family know, hey, I’m going to make a video and I’m not going to back for two hours or I’m going to go and I’m going to do a webinar. I’m not going to be back for a couple hours.

That way it blocks out this time unless there’s an absolute emergency that I need to take care of and make sure you outline those emergencies in the beginning, because every family member has a different idea of what an emergency is.

For example, one of my kids used to think it was an emergency to come ask me when I was making for dinner. And sometimes those little interruptions can ruin your whole day. And now for number nine.

9. set a specific “GO” time

Set a specific go time. This is time that you’re going to a lot for those tasks that you need to get done that you might be behind on or backed up on, that you need to do set that time and say, I am going to do this in three hours.

Give yourself that time. BLOCK it out and don’t do anything else in that time until you get that task done.

This is very important because the more you get distracted, the more your mind’s going to be everywhere. And again, protecting your mind is key.

Number 10 is very important for entrepreneurs and salespeople,

10. focus on the HIGH PAID WORK first

and that is to focus a specific time for the highest paid work.

Making these videos is good for my business long term. But sometimes I need to focus on immediate sales and bringing in immediate income.

When I get in those times, I like to spend one or two hours a day just solely focusing on things that will produce a result that day, whether it’s something your boss needs right away or making a sale or getting something done that you know is going to produce immediate results.

Make sure that you block out time for these things because those are your most important tasks that are going to put money in your pocket. And the idea of work, whether it’s working at a job or working from home, is always to put money in your pocket. So we need to focus on those tasks every. First and foremost.

And that brings us into number eleven.

11. safeguard your mind (its easy to get all messed up with whats going on) live gets in the way

You’re going to notice that in these difficult times, it’s easy to get distracted with everything that’s going on.

But watching the news all day, everyday, which is tempting, isn’t really going to change your situation.

You could simply watch it a couple of minutes a day and get the headlines and figure out what you need to do. But overwhelming your mind with this stuff is not going to help you be productive. And I want you to realize that when working from home, life always gets in the way. There’s always some crisis or thing that demands your attention or something that kids need or someone’s flipping out.

And we want to make sure to take care of the important things that need to be taken care of, the real emergencies and train everyone. Hey, guys, if it’s not a real emergency, I need to guard my mind and I need to focus on what’s going on. So resist the urge to check every breaking news report and every text your family sends you and anything else that can take your mind off what you need to do unless it’s a real emergency.

And that brings us to number twelve,

12. DO NOT PANIC WORK – take it slow one step one thing at a time

which is don’t panic work when you work from a place of panic or stress. It’s very difficult to get things done. And even when you do, you’re not going to be at your best because your mind is focusing on the panic and the things that you’re worried about. So you want to make sure that you start from a cool, calm place so that you can actually focus on the things that you need to get done.

Resist the urge to be in panic mode. Resist the urge to be anxious and say to yourself, right now, I need to do this.

And stressing about something for the next hour isn’t going to help, but doing something is going to help. And if I can do something instead of stress about it, I’m going to be way ahead of the rest of the crowd.

Which brings us to number 13.

13. Resist the urge to save the planet in 8 hours

Remember, you are just one person. You can’t do everything. You can’t solve all the problems in your business or your job in one day.

So take it in stride and realize I can only do what I can do today. And I’m not going to break my neck over this. I’m going to start slow and I’m going to do what I can do. And at the end of the day, I can say I did what I can do. And tomorrow I’ll start again.

But oftentimes when working from home, we like to think that we’re Superman or Superwoman, as it were.

We’re we’re gonna go out there and save the world in one flying leap. That’s not going to happen. But you can take. Small steps. Remember the way you eat an elephant? I don’t know who eats elephants, but if you are gonna eat elephant, you would eat them one bite at a time. Not all at once. So take your work. One bite at a time. One day at a time and one hour at a time. This will make you a lot more calm and free you from panic and worry and getting overwhelmed.

Which brings us to number 14.

14. take breaks and get outside (don’t work thru lunch)

And that is to take care of your mind and your body. It’s easy when working from home to be cooped up and at work and work and work and stay inside under fluorescent lights or regular lights or led lights or whatever lighting you have in your house and not go outside.

We need to go outside and get fresh air and get vitamin D from the sun and get out of our environment. Getting out of your environment is huge. So schedule a walk. Schedule a time to sit outside. Schedule a time to be with the kids outdoors and focus on that. And when you’re there.

Focus 100 percent on being there. Not the stuff at work. Taking breaks is key.

And going outside is key. If you coop up, you’re gonna get stressed and it’s going to affect your mind and you’re not going to be able to get anything done. And one thing I learned is that it’s good to break for lunch where you take lunch away from your work. If you give in to the urge to work while eating, it’s going to change your mindset and you’re not going to be able to separate work from normal time. So take 30 minutes or an hour and go have lunch. Spend time with your family.

Break up the day and realize that if I don’t take care of my mind and my body, I don’t have anything. This includes what you drink. A lot of people drink pots of coffee in the morning and wonder why they’re anxious. A lot of people don’t eat and let themselves get low on blood sugar. This one gets me a lot. Some people drink a lot of alcohol at work. I did this for a couple of years and became an alcoholic and it damn near ruined my business. And I’m glad to say I’m almost six years sober now. So I learned my lesson and it’s very important to make sure that you take care of your body and your mind, because if your mind starts to go or your body starts to go, all bets are off.

And this includes if you get sick, if you get sick, allow yourself some time to be sick, relax and recuperate. Because if you don’t take care of yourself, you’re never going to be able to take care of your job.

And lastly, number fifteen,

15. relax its gonna be ok… do what you can do and you will find that 2-3 focused hours is better than 8 unfocused hours

We’re going to make it through. You can work from home. You can set your schedule. And remember, schedules change and adapt. Nothing’s written in stone.

I’ve had schedules throughout the years that I’ve crossed out and I’ve changed many times. And that doesn’t mean I failed or didn’t do something right. That means I’m adapting to my environment and you need to allow yourself time to adapt to your environment. Figure out what works for you. Figure out when your peak time is. Figure out when you’re Blore. Time is. And focus on the things that you need to get done and put them into categories. When you play. Play hard when you work. Work hard when you rest. Rest hard.

Take care of yourself. Forgive yourself and say I’m going to be okay in this time where I need to change what I’m doing and whether you’re working at home for a job or working at home and your own business. It’s very important to look at these things because I see so many people get scattered all over the place by not closing off distractions and not being flexible in their schedule and not focusing on the things that they need to do to get where they need to go.

So have fun and focus and relax. Have a good time with your family and focus on work when you need to work. Focus on play when you need to play and focus on getting the things done that you need to get done.
