5 reasons why your online biz is not making 10K/month.
And what to do about it.
// Thread
1. You are focusing on making money instead of providing value
People want results.
Getting paid often results from delivering on your promises.
Forget about the money.
Bend-over backward to create miracles for your clients.
2. You love throwing flying kicks
A Flying Kick is a challenging martial arts technique to perform.
Their effectiveness in combat is questionable
Landing a flying kick is devastating for the enemy
But they rarely land
This is you trying to pitch your service to everyone
Do yourself a favor, 1. choose a small niche 2. research the niche 3. throw all your flying kicks at it
This is how you:
- become an authority in that niche
- get massive results faster
- make the bank
3. You're trying to automate to fast
Focus on getting clients first.
You'll build the system in the process.
Just make sure to document everything you're doing.
And automate slowly.
4. You're not self-promoting enough
Send more cold email.
Send more cold DMs.
Tweet more links to your landing pages.
The best product is the one that's known.
Become a shameless self-promoter.
5. You don't know how to sell
Selling is not about convincing
Selling is a 4-step process to understand the client:
1. Ask deep questions 2. Find their problem and needs 3. Unearth the emotional strain these problems cause 4. Pitch the offer that solves these problems
Francis Ngannou went from homeless to MMA predator
Started boxing at 22
"When I started, I had nothing[…]I needed everything"
He sold his motorcycle, one needed to make money, to join a gym
People called him crazy
Today, he's the UFC's #1 contender for the heavyweight title
Here's his life's philosophy in a nutshell:
"It might not work. But, I don't want to live with the regret of not trying. I have to try. If I fail, it's ok," he said on Joe Rogan's podcast. "I have a right to try and to fail... to start over."
He grew up poor in Cameroon, where he was subjected to child labor.
"I had to work very hard when I was a child, about 10 years old," he said to Businessinsider.
Now, he works dismantling people's jaws at the UFC.
