Hey there!
I haven’t written a blog post in a little bit.
I figured now would be as good a time as any to say “hi”, & share a few tips and updates along the way.
So first, like I wrote in the subject line of this post, we recently crossed 6 million dollars in commissions paid out to affiliates. WAHOOO!
Pretty cool right?
That’s not what I’ve earned with this, it’s what we’ve paid to affiliates, so I’m a part of that number, but it also includes a lot more people than me which is way more fun and exciting that just talking about my earnings.
As a rule of thumb, I don’t send out commission screenshots often, as it can get annoying, and begin to look like spam, but every once in a while I love sharing our progress.
I think celebrating new milestones is a great thing to do in your marketing and you’ll find that people enjoy celebrating and following your progress if you do this.
On the topic of sharing specific income results, I heard a great phrase on one of our coaching masterminds the other day from a lady Named Diane who’s made a lot of money from home.
She said her mentor taught her….
‘Don’t talk about money, learn to smell like money.’
Basically, if you can project an aura of prosperity which communicates to people that you’ve got it going on, without shouting all the time “HEY, LOOK HOW MUCH I’VE GOT GOING ON!”
…This is quite a bit more effective for attraction in business.
There are different ways to do this.
Speaking in a relaxed, confident (Definitely not needy) sort of way helps.
Where you choose to shoot your videos can help. Give some thought to what people might assume about the environment they see you in. Is your video background helping you to smell like money or …. something else?
The other day I saw this same lady on a tik tok video telling a story about flying first class, and what her experience has been flying this way, over and over again for many years…
I mean if she’s traveling and flying first class, we can assume she has the money to do so, without her flashing her pay checks or bank account amounts, right?
I discovered early on in my marketing journey that I could smell like money without even having much of it.
I noticed there was a difference between the videos I made inside my trailerhouse vs. the ones I made outside by the pond.
Nevermind that I didn’t own the land, or the pond, those 2 things helped me to smell more like money without even having much of it.
Make sense?
Oh and of course, reading every day and practicing your communication skills, can also help you become a better communicator over time which of course, yes, helps you smell more like money.
Anyway, I thought that was a GREAT piece of advice and wanted to pass it along.
ok, 2 more quick updates & tips….
We recently added a new training inside one of our products, on how to create a hero capture page.
What’s that?
I’m glad you asked.
Let me show you the one I created for myself while watching this training.
See how that page makes me look a little like a hero, all fancy there with a mic and with my friends in the background giving me a standing ovation?
That’s what a hero page is.
How to make one…
Get a picture of YOU, preferably with a mic as that can give you some instant credibility, put it on a page and WALLAH!
You’re now a hero and you might be surprised to see the enhanced response from your leads after you do something like this.
Back when I was living in that single wide trailer, it was not uncommon for people to think I was some kind of Celebrity.
(They couldn’t see my trailer, just my web pages). 😉
Anyway, if you want some help with creating something like this for yourself, our funnel builder tool has what you need and here’s the link to the step by step training you can watch, if you decide to buy it.
Reguardless, here’s the important lesson to remember:
People join people.
It’s important to learn how to market yourself, not just your products, services & business.
That’s what a hero capture page can help with.
Ok, last update.
Since I got back from our event in Dallas Texas a few weeks ago, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes on a HUGE affiliate system enhancement.
Well, we launched it this week and so far, people are loving it!
One of the things this new system allows you to do is put your name and picture on all the company checkout pages for all of our products.
Check it out.
Pretty cool right?
One last little sales lesson that ties in with this.
I recently read in Scientific Advertising by Claude Hopkins, about a company that was selling leather journals (or trying to sell them anyway).
They weren’t selling.
They had an idea.
What if we put people’s names on the covers?
They did and guess what…
The journals began to sell like hotcakes!
The more personalized you can make your marketing and/or products, the better they’ll sell.
Due to some strange aspect of human psychology, we seem to be partial to buying things with our names or pictures on them.
And that, my friend, brings this email to a close.
I hope there was something in today’s letter that you can use to create more success and freedom with.
And if not, at least I got to practice my writing for today.
Thanks for letting me practice with you.
All the best,
Paul Hutchings
PS: Oh snap, I forgot to tell you. Another reason we launched this new system for our affiliates is because it has iron clad sales tracking.
Instead of just using cookies, it tracks by prospect I.P. address and customer email.
This means it will be virtually impossible for me or any of our other affiliates to not get credit for the sales we make.
With the rise in use of V.P.N’s, clearing cookies and private browsers, cookies just ain’t what they used to be.
Might be a good idea for you to check into whatever systems you’re using to make sure they’re up to speed.
Or you could just fill out the form to join me and not have to worry about it. (if you haven’t done so already that it is).
