I personally know thаt еасh оf these mаrkеtеrѕ аrе dоіng оvеr 6 fіgurеѕ реr уеаr іn their оnlіnе buѕіnеѕѕ.

Question 8: Arе Yоu Cоnnесtіng Wіth Othеr Mаrkеtеrѕ In Your Niche?

Some of the most valuable information is actually shared for free, once you’rein the right place.

Regardless of your niche you’ll find Facebook Groups and Forums to connect with out people interested in that topic.

In many groups you’ll find potential partners and customers. It’s not your job to go here and start posting links and trying to sell stuff.

It’s your job to build relationships, share your experiences, ask and answer questions, etc. Just get people use to seeing your name and face.

Let’s say you want to promote an affiliate product. I’ve noticed many marketers are refused due to just starting out and having no connections.

It makes it very difficult to get your foot of the ground in this case. If you were to build relationships first you don’t have this problem.

Now let’s say in a few months you want to launch a product and you start looking for JV partners, hitting random people up and getting nowhere.

Well if you were active in the groups and forums, made your connections your chances of a successful launch is much higher.

One last example. People will generally subscribe to your list or purchase your product because they see you as a expert in that field, Make sense right?

So they land on your sales page or squeeze page, never heard of you, never seen your face before.

There’s no trust there so you’ll probably not get the lead or make the sale. On the other hand you’ve someone who posted something helpful in the group and is active.

They offer value. When they ask for the lead and sale, they get it. The reasons why are simple.

Question 9: Are You Passionate About What You Do?

This is an important one. If you’re not passionate you’ll not enjoy your work and you’ll quit.

It’s only natural but if you love what you do, you’ll want to continue doing it and you’ll naturally get better. My plan was not to write this report today.

It’s Saturday and the wife wanted to go the beach. I’m here loving every minute about it as I’m passionate about what I do. It never feels like work.

Keep in mind there’s so many niches to get involved in so picksomething you love to talk, write and read about. It will make everything else easier.

Question 10: Are You Developing Your Own Product?

The least favourite one for last but let’s admit it. Everyone you see in the 6 – 7 figure mark has their own product or service.

I’m not saying you need to jump into the crazy product creation world and have something new every month.

But I do recommend you have at least one product or service that you can sell.

It could be as simple as a PDF guide like this, a over the shoulder training series or done for you service like copywriting, design, funnel design, video creation etc.

Bonus Question 11: Are You Emailing Your List?

Would you believe I know people who built lists of over 5,000 and just stopped mailing them only to come back a few months later to say they are no longer responding or opening the emails.

Guess what? They forgot about you!

Would you believe I know several marketers who launched products which got between 500 – 1500 sales only to not mail the list of buyers.

Maybe they taught all the money would be in the launch? Guess what? It’s not the case. This goes for everything else you’ve learned in this report.

You setup the blog, you post content, you get likes, you build your list. YOU MAIL YOUR LIST. It’s that simple I don’t care if it’s only 10 subscribers.

If you leave it a week to mail them, they forgot about you and you’re starting again. If you repeat this for months and months where do you get? Unfortunately nowhere.

Conclusion

If you want to make the 6 figure mark you need to first answer yes to all these questions.

Throughout the process of getting everything in place, researching and developing content your experience and knowledge will grow.

I wish you all the success in the world
