Videos are truly an awesome way to get the point across. Any type of content from your business is important!
My name is John Gollum from says pop online says magazine and pipeliner CRM, and today I am joined by America’s positive attitude: coach, Ryan, Lowe from New Orleans, Louisiana, hey Dean, Ryan, yeah, excellent, Ryan’s, a motivational speaker, sales, trainer consultant and author who’s. His passion is working with companies and team members to inspire them to create a positive culture and mindset to achieve excellence, and today we’re going to talk about the importance of a positive mindset in sales.
So Ryan, we’re now in August. Right and a lot of salespeople are on a calendar year and you know maybe they’re looking at their quota now and they’re going. What looked like an achievable quota back in January is now looking a bit daunting to them, and maybe all these self-doubts and-and-and negative thoughts are creeping in. So let’s start with people like that, what advice would you give to somebody who’s? Maybe losing hope that they’re going to achieve their quota this year, one of the things that I would suggest is going back and looking at their daily habits.
What are they doing on a daily basis? Are they doing the same thing that they were doing at the beginning of the year and if they are they’re going to get the same exact results so really working out what they do on a daily basis, maybe have to shift their goals just a little bit? I know you can’t shift the quota, but you can say I whether my daily goals, my weekly goals, my monthly goals. You know if I’m only hitting $ 10 a day, I’m going to have to bump it up to 20.
If I’m a you know, if I’m on five appointments a week, I really need to be going on ten appointments a week to hit my numbers. So it’s kind of like at this point. You got to really bump up what you’re doing on a daily basis right and so, and so a lot of it is, is getting back to best practices right and getting back and figure out if you’re doing, because, let’s face it, sometimes when things aren’t going well, You kind of convince yourself you’re doing everything you can, but you realize, if you do what you just talked about, you may realize that maybe you’re not putting their best foot forward.
Yeah, that’s a lot of times. You just got to go back to the basics. You know, are you using your time correct? Are you really hitting the right prospects? Are you just hitting doors just to hit doors? Are you talking to the right decision makers? Are you asking for the business? Are you getting in front of the people that you need to be in front of, but you’re not comfortable or you don’t know how most sales people that, as I call them really don’t know how to ask for the business so they’re full of fear or they They have the mindset that this person can’t afford their product, so they’re not going to really ask and a lot of times if they would just have the confidence and build that confidence that they, when they go into a closing meeting or a network or just any Type of meeting with their client that they’re going to be successful at it.
So what are some of the ways that says people just overall can start to build a better sense of self confidence, because I I agree with you a lot of the times. Let’s face it, you mean salespeople, have been bombarded with negative stereotypes and and all of that – and they tend to often think well all the power lies in the hands of the buyer. So what are some of the ways that they can start to build self-confidence and maybe look at themselves a little differently? One of the things I always doing all my trainings is.
I have all my clients and people that I coach. I have them. You know ten things and I’ve learned this from Brian Tracy. I travel the land doing sales years. So our goal shutting time management prospecting, identifying needs, presentation, skills, closing techniques, how to handle objections, positive attitude and then self development. I always have them pick out their two weakest areas out of those ten.
That’s what you need to work on if you that you’re great at presenting, but you can’t close work on your closing and what I’d say, is: go online, find someone that is great at teaching closing techniques, you could probably go on YouTube. I know that you can buy Google closing techniques, try a couple of them um if you might be great at presenting, but your time management skills might be not where you need them to be, because you’re not getting in front of a knight enough people to present Some books: how to be procrastination by Brian Tracy, there’s a lot of great information out there that once you find your two weakest areas, you can google or go find books or find articles, and that’s why I’d say to start.
So that’s that’s an interesting point because sometimes when, when things aren’t going well people just assume it’s just it’s everything right when, as you say, it could be particular skills or particular areas of the sales process that they’re that they’re falling down on, and I guess this Is an area where sales managers could really come into play if they’re, if they’re good at observing and coaching their people? Well, that’s when I when I, when I trained sales leadership, I tell them to look for those those weakest areas and it’s not a bad thing.
We all have sure, and once you know that and once you know the areas that they need assistance with. That’s some of the things that you can hone in on and then go back to some of the other areas that they’re good at and keep working on. Those so it’s always an evolving process and you just got to stay on top of it daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly. But as you keep, you know, just getting better and better and better at what you do.
But it’s all about going back and kind of you know coaching yourself, all right man I mean when I first got in sales. I made a lot of friends and sales, but I couldn’t close a thing, but once I learned some closing techniques I would go, and I know that sounds kind of silly you’re staying in front of a mirror. Go. Do it to your wife, your husband, whatever partner and say look, you know you can you listening to this? How does this sound? You know what that works yeah, and I think that I think you right.
You raise a great point too, because sometimes we’re not that we’re not that good at at number one analyzing ourselves and, and then number two is going back and practicing the basics and as you say, I mean it’s something you can do at home. It’s I mean great sports people, I mean somebody told me a story recently about you, know Kobe Bryant, who apparently used to hit the hit the gym at 5:00 a.M.
In the morning and then go to the basketball court and he wasn’t practicing trick shots or fancy Shots he was apparently doing the most basic shot over and over again for hours, because that was the basis of everything and I think there’s a good lesson for all of us. Is that sometimes going back and examining? Oh, you know just going back and making sure you’ve got all the bases covered and finding out maybe the one you’re falling down on and practicing yeah.
My my famous quotes, our famous quote that I’ve heard is be extraordinary and ordinary things do I mean, even here in New Orleans drew brees. I’ve heard stories of him. You know, after winning a game going he’s got his wide receivers out there and they’re just flowing normal passes, cut routes, things of that nature, because those are the little bitty things that you’ve got to get. You know it’s kind of like working out.
You’ve got to have that muscle memory, even when you know your minds being negative and you’ve got all these negative thoughts in you. You know it’s the end of the month, all that kind of stuff. You got a kick in the muscle memory and that’s what I’ll get you yeah get you through, and so what are some of the things that you can do immediately prior? Because you can do all this prep work and then you can maybe come up and you have a sales call, maybe have a meeting with somebody.
Maybe you have an online meeting with them or a phone call or whatever, and a lot of people can defeat themselves in the moments before the meeting, because they just you know, despite all the prep work, they’ve done, all the doubts come back. So what are some of the things you can do to make sure that you go into an engagement with the best mindset possible. I always tell my clients take 10 minutes before you walk in close your eyes sit down for a moment.
It’s kind of like back to sports, yeah, Jack Nicklaus would would imagine and in his mind him making the final putt at the Masters it’s kind of, like you know, Kobe Bryant or some of these other ones they talk about. You know there are always picturing and imagining them winning the game or making the final shot. It’s the same exact thing say: ten minutes before you go in breathe if you’re sitting in your car before you get on a conference, call or whatever and go over your notes and have the attitude that you’re walking in with a great mindset that you are going To be the best answer, the questions that you need need to do overcome their questions and also to getting the sales person mindset.
Out of your mind and saying I’m going in as a consultant and I’m to fix the problems that this my client has, because that’s what it is, a dot work. First of all, like doctors, if you find the problem, everybody buys off of problems. It’s no problem. Once you identify that that that’s half the battle right there and if you can go into a sales or a closing meeting and explain how your feature you know, I use the ofab feature.
Application benefit how this picture works for you, how it applies, how you’re going to be successful with it and here’s the benefit. I really think keeping it simple is the best way to go. Yeah. No, absolutely, and I think, as you say, I mean going in there. Thinking that you’re you’re here to solve some problems, you’re actually you’re writing in to rescue the situation, so that should give you some confidence, yeah, yeah and absolutely so.
What are some other ways that that you can continue to keep a positive mindset, say if you’re in you go in great positive attitude, everything’s going well and then maybe something comes up in the meeting that throws you and I’ve noticed that this is one thing that Happens to a lot of people, you know when they get knocked off their rhythm or their game. Suddenly, as you said, they lose total confidence.
What are some ways of getting yourself back on track? I think about past clients. I think about even wait. Am I speaking business? I get invited to speak at these large conferences and at first that negative mindset comes in oh my gosh, and then I go back and work and think about all the big conferences. I’ve spoken at and say you know what I can do this. You know what it’s going to happen. It’s I’m going to make it great whatever I can do and you got to remember too we all get knocked down.
I mean everybody. I mean I probably knocked down more than you know that I could imagine, and it’s just thinking I know that’s a whole cliche you’ll get back up, but if you think about you’ve gotten back up before you can get back up again and most sales people that Are successful that are great at what they do? They know that they can’t win every single time. You’ve got to go in the mindset of clients.
Just can’t see it. Some clients don’t understand some clients, but if you walk in and leave everything you got at the door and you know you did your best and move on and go to your next client yeah and I think that’s a really important point that you brought up. There is to look at your past track record because you didn’t suddenly become terrible overnight right I mean you, didn’t suddenly just forget everything and not able to do it anymore, and you have successes to look back on and I think those are.
Those are really important that you that you bring them by back into your mind and you go no. I mean I can solve problems here. Maybe I can solve this person’s problem in the end. Maybe we’re not compatible. You know the solution or whatever, but I have been successful, not be successful again and one of the other things I always share with people as well. Not I do this, this kind of hit me I’m a big college football and if I love sports, the things I’m warming to is when I’ve gone through a bad season.
It’s just like sports, my favorite teams. They have a bad season. What do they do? They back the next year win the national championship where they go to the playoffs life’s the same way. You might have a quarter that gosh, don’t matter who you call they don’t answer the phone. You can’t sell anything. Nobody wants to talk to you go to the next quarter. You know what forget back and go in that you.
This is going to be the best quarter and that’s how you’ve got to just tell you got ta have instant instant. You know you forget, you got ta, forget things quickly, it’s that’s what I call it. You’ve got to be able to move on it’s the hardest thing, but at the same time, learn from it and move on and believe me it’s it’s not easy as it sounds, but it does work yeah and I think the important thing in that and it’s a Great point the important thing, and that is that, if you can look and say I did everything I possibly could during that quarter – oh yeah, it didn’t work.
Okay, it’s funny. I didn’t, but I put the effort in now. If I continue to work hard, I put the effort in next quarter, I’m going to have a go quarter, and also you learned what not to do yeah I had bad months a bad quarter or a bad year or whatever it may be. Really not. What was I doing at that time that I, even though I did everything that I thought I could do best? What was I doing that I could take out of that equation? Yeah and it’s funny, because even some of the best people right who are in many ways, a lot of us at times are unconsciously competent right, we’re good at what we do, but we couldn’t actually tell you what it is, and sometimes you have to take.
You know what it is, how we do. Sometimes you got to take a step back and say: look at your, as you said, look at your past successes, but really analyze what made it successful as opposed to just go. Oh well, I was successful, could actually look at it because I don’t think people take enough time out actually to look at what they do that actually leads to success. Yeah if you can take a day, whatever go sit somewhere to library whatever and really map out.
You know what you do great, what some areas that you need to work on. You know you need coaching. Do you need to just go online and read some articles grab some books grab some audio books. I always tell people you really want to get back into a positive mindset. Turn your car, like Brian Tracy, says University on wheels. I learned that years and years and years ago and now with the iPhone and all that it’s so much easier to listen to a YouTube or listen to an audiobook or something and the great thing about that is you’re, going to pick up an idea.
And that idea is going to flourish and that’s going to help you get through the next thing, so it might be. A closing technique might be a time. Management might be a networking technique, whatever it may be. Something’s going to refuel you and that’ll keep you inspired to keep going yeah and I think that’s I don’t. I think, that’s a great point, because there is a temptation when, when things are tough to just go, I just need to get away from all of this.
When, in fact, as you say, what you need to do is actually sit down and really analyze and then feed your mind, I mean a lot of. It is about feeding your mind with with good insights with positive insights yeah, and I tell people also to don’t. Do it just during the negative times, do it through the great times B, habit of getting up early in the morning and reading or at lunch, bringing a book or if you know you got a thirty minute job to our client, be sure you know you’re on Your book set whatever it may be because that’ll keep the momentum going because you never want to fall off the momentum, and then you got back up again.
That’s the hardest thing to do. I mean we go through the year. We take two or three weeks off. You know for Christmas and then all the sudden January first hits and we’re back up and over again, so if you’ve been doing that Christmas time, that’s when they should be claiming the not they wanted January. You know day, one of December start planning you year your goals, what you’re going to have, and in figure out all the different things that you know they’re going to help you be successful.
Absolutely this is we’re bumping up against the end of our time Ryan, but before we go I’d like you to tell people a little bit more about yourself, what you do, your books etc sure you know, as most of you know, my name is Ryan Lowe. I’ve been named by peers and clients by as America’s positive attitude coach, I go around the country speaking at large conferences, sales meeting sales, kickoff meetings.
I also come into organizations and coach, their leadership, sales leadership and their sales teams, and now even their customer service teams, because it’s all about my message – positive productivity through positivity you’ve, got to stay positive. You know through all of these different different sets, and so it’s a big circle, a big area that I cover, but also it’s been really great, so you can check out my book entitled get off your attitude.
I also have another book called glia isms. It’s it’s inspirational quotes and then everything is at either Jeff your attitude, calm or Ryan Sheila, calm, excellent, yeah, no excellent, listen, Ryan! This has been great and I hope, everybody’s taken away some great pointers and get off your attitude get positive you’ve still, if you’re on a calendar year, you’ve still got plenty of time. Just go back.
You look at what you’re doing figure out where maybe you’re falling down start practicing the basics again and and just belief, you’ve done it before you can do it again right. Absolutely all right! Listen thanks! Ryan! My name is John golden says. Pop online says magazine pipeline of CMC offer another expert interview really soon. Thank you.
I wonder what this is, so I picked it up and it was like super heavy and I thought well, maybe not all my warehouse sales stuff came, but it already did, but I was like well, maybe they like duplicated the order or something and I’ll just send It back so then I open it up and it’s a bunch of brand new things from Erin Condren, so this is clearly a PR package, so I figured I would just open this up because I have the time today.
I don’t have the time tomorrow. So I wanted to share with you some of the new goodies. There is stuff, that’s on the website already and there might be some things that is not on the website. Yet so, let’s just go through it and let me get this box out of the way. Now I have to clean this because the bottom of my box was wet gross, Oh guests. Ah there it goes cool all right, so I have my computer right over here, so I am going to just put the thing down and see if I can find it.
Oh, my gosh, why are you so blurry stop dude a little little look yeah there. It goes good job okay, so this is called the accordion zipper pouch. So let’s find this accordion zipper, pouch? Okay! So it’s just $ 14. I did actually see this on someone’s Instagram feed. I think it was gen McIntosh and I saw the picture of it and I was like I don’t get it. Do you get to pick your color? Well, you get all the colors cuz.
It goes what I really like the gold hardware. I think that’s really neat, and then it has like a little loop here, so you can hold on to it or a loop here so like you can literally play the damn accordion with your erin condren pouch, which is kind of fun like it’s like a rainbow Accordion anyway, so it does retail for $ 14 and it’s like I don’t know what kind of materials it’s like nylon II kind of.
Let me see what it says. Oh doesn’t say anything: okay, cool cool, all right. It says 6 attached pouches with gold hardware with handles for easy expansion. Clearly and then it’s man-made materials and then care instructions are to wipe down with a damp cloth. So this is alright, I feel like it was stuff. It would be like a something I’d put like a wet swimsuit in, even though like the inside isn’t like lined or anything um but yeah.
I don’t know, I mean this is an interesting concept. I don’t. I don’t know how I would use this besides. Just to walk up to people, and maybe do this – I don’t know I mean I guess I could store some of my secrets in here but um I don’t mean I guess. If you’re like a pretty minimal planner, you could put like some of your like most used stickers in there or something, and just like put pens in one of the or I don’t know I don’t know I feel like this would be like way too small.
For me, or you could use it like for travel, maybe I don’t know it’s kind of an interesting idea, but I do love a gold hardware. I think that’s really really nice, but yes, this retails for $ 14 and the next item is this little ruler and I actually readed a open box of the new seasonal surprise box, which this is the first time that I have not I’m going to zoom. In a little bit again um I have not ordered.
This is the first time ever that I have not ordered the seasonal surprise box for fall. You know the seasonal surprise boxes. I just haven’t been feeling lately, but this was in the seasonal surprise box article that I readed and it’s what is called just metal ruler yeah. So let me see if it’s online, yet I do like this a lot. This was like the one thing I was like. Oh I might get this, and then they had said that this is actually coming to the shop.
It wasn’t like an exclusive thing, so that’s really cool. I love the little asterisks. It’s like very it’s a very nice weight to it, which is nice, and it’s got some nice corners. I do have like something from Target, there’s only six inches long by the way I do have one from Target – that’s really similar, but it’s like a full. You know 12 inches that I’ve had for years and years and I think it was like a Nate Berkus thing, but let me see if this is online: it’s not online yet so I’m not sure what the price is, but I will leave the erin condren links Down below for you guys, I want to say, maybe it was like nine dollars or something it is a nice medal, but I mean, if you don’t like gold, I don’t know if they’re going to come in any other colors or not, but yeah.
This would be actually kind of nice hold on to like put in there see, I don’t know. What’s going on my camera today, just keeps like getting all blurry, I don’t know. I got ta look into that alright and the next item. This is also something that was in the seasonal, a surprise box that I saw, but clearly I didn’t get that one is this desk accessories set. It’s kind of this like jewel tone, so you’ve got like binder clips pushpins.
These are like the ball pushpins. These are just regular, pushpins, two different sizes paper clips, which these are like coated. It’s not my favorite. I really like one I’ll grab one out, let’s see here where are they near the other ones? I, like cuz, I’m like crazy, they’re, just regular old paper clips but they’re the ones that have like the little grippies on them because it just I feel like it, holds the paper so much better, but yeah and then there’s some rubber bands so see what it Says: okay, so it includes nine binder clips a tee ball push pins, forty basic push, pins, thirty rubber bands, eighty small paper clips and then twenty-seven large paper clips.
So let’s go online and see if this is online. Yet it’s not online yet, but it probably will be, but I might put this article up, I’m not really sure when all this stuff is launching, because in the box there was no information and I hadn’t gotten an email. But you know I’m appreciative of all this swag so anyway, these are kind of fun, though, if you like these kind of like folly, jewel tones, and then I got these, these are the daily planners.
Let’s take a look at them. I know that they had these. Like petit planners from last year – and I’m just you know, not sure what they look like this year, but I do really like the UM kaleidoscope pattern to them. I think that’s really nice, so I have January through March April, through June July, through September and then oxalá October through December, and I know a lot of people have been waiting for this to come out so yeah.
Here it is January 20 2000 K and then you have like the dailies in here too cool, alright, nice event, ness February, and then we’ve got Marge and like clearly it’s all good. Oh look at this fancy. Schmancy um! Oh my gosh! These have purple foil on them. Can you see that? Oh, that’s, just freakin cool all right hold on hold on? I have a hypothesis, because this is kind of purply. Is this what I’m going to have pink foil? You know I’m clearly more excited about stickers than anything in the world.
So here’s your look at this one. Oh, my god, it does well, it doesn’t. Oh no, it’s different see it’s like a magenta um, so you can see yeah. It’s like a magenta color. How fancy? Okay, what do we think this one’s going to be it’s going to be like yellow, or is it going to be orange mmm? It’s just gold, it’s just regular old gold, but still love okay, you’re going to look at this one! You like this one’s going to be blue, maybe green, no, I’m hoping for blue, because it’s got the blue foil here.
It is blue. Look at that! Oh these are really cool nice, nice. I know that they have these in the just monthly, which I did you. I did use that for a little while this past year, at the very beginning of the years, are the years of the year of 2019 um but yeah. I never really got into like the daily one, just because it was just you know. I have my regular life planner. It was just too much for me to use like a bajillion different planners, I’m just not that girl, like I just can’t be.
I know there’s a lot of player people that use a lot of different planners and I just can’t get into it. So, oh, no, all right! So let me pull up and see if they have this yet. Okay, so doesn’t look like these specific ones are out. Yet but the ones that they have online there’s the regular petit planners, I believe they all have a sticker sheet in the back to our $ 14. So I’m not sure if these are going to be $ 14, but usually, if you buy the whole bundle like the January through December, there’s a little bit of a discount.
If you can get them on the bundle so anyway kind of cool and to go along with this, they sent a pouch thing. I do have one of these already, which is the the gold metallic. Let me put these off to the side here, so we can look at this a little bit better, I’m going to zoom you guys out justice, coach yeah, and this is just a really pretty wine color, and let me see this is online. I swear I’ve seen this already, so this is called the on-the-go folio.
I can never remember what anything is called guys like. I just I don’t know my brain does not function. Sometimes so it’s the on-the-go folio and they are currently retailing for $ 20 on the website. However, this maroon color is not on the website just yet that it actually looks really black coming off on camera. But I think when I add it I’ll be able to show you guys the color a little bit better.
It does have the embossed little asterisks right there, which is really pretty and then on. The inside. You’ve just got the four strings you know kind of strong through like normal and how these are kind of the wrong way. I’m going to fix that there we go great so um. The idea is, you can put up to four books in here and just go like a debt, and the funny thing is: is that in my Erin Condren cart? Currently I hadn’t checked out.
Yet I had a what do I have in my car hold on. Let me even tell you, I currently have a monthly deluxe, planner or deluxe monthly planner in my cart for 2020, because at work I am part of this team called the fun committee and we do a lot of clearly. We try to make it fun, but we do like infants and we do all like the birthday cake day things every once a month and all of that stuff. So we do have quite a bit of meetings to kind of like brainstorm and go throughout things.
So anyway, I wanted a monthly deluxe, because I was wanting to write down some notes, but maybe I’ll just use this and then just bring this to work so how it would actually be pretty ideal. So yeah plus I mean clearly we don’t do stuff every single day, but this would kind of just be like an overview of our events and we have cake day the third Wednesday of every month and then like. If we have other events happening and then like when we have meetings, you can just write notes in here.
I can just use this. You know the insights for notes as well, which to me works really well, but yeah. I think that would solve my problem. Probably a couple notes pages back here, but to be honest, I’ll probably use this mostly for you know, meeting notes and what we went over and just like to do task list, items and stuff like that and whatnot so yeah. So now I’m really glad I got this, not that I wasn’t happy before, but it’s like oh wow.
What is this alright, so that is it for my PR haul. I hope you guys enjoyed it taking a peek at some of the new things that are coming to the website.

Well, I’ve had a total of three facebook ads account and you’re, probably thinking oh, my gosh, or some sort of Facebook ad criminal behind bars. No, so the truth is the first Advocate I got banned was really stupid. It was really annoying and it wasn’t.
I was doing anything wrong. It was a policy that they brought out. They didn’t make public, so I didn’t know it was there. The second ads account that got banned, and this is what I’m talking about the first time I’m talking about, because that was like four years ago. It was nothing. It was stupid. This one was based on relevant today things an actual ad that I know I think got it banned. I know I think so.
Obviously there are some Facebook rules that we have to abide by and I’ve got the policies up here and I’m just yes. So we are going to go over these policies, but first I wanted to say what gar account banned. So this article this article that we were promoting it was our English add article. It was kind of funny it this one. Here, we’ve lived in the UK, our entire lives, but we’ve always dreamed of traveling the world.
We wanted to experience new cultures, new cities and fun adventures how we needed a good income. We decided to get started selling on Amazon in the most popular market, America. I thought was a brilliant article. It was actually really funny. It got 500,000 views on Facebook. It did really really well. It got amazing responses. We’ve got so many people taking the training, the free training as well.
People were absolutely loving it. Ah, the reason it got bad, I believe, is because it was promoting three free articles. If you sign up, but when they signed up, they only got access to the first article, and then you got access the second article the next day. So I feel like Facebook didn’t like that, but they never told us when, when you get an ad banned because I’ll ban an ad before they ban your account.
So when you get an ad ban, it don’t really tell you why they just kind of just say it’s ban and give some generic reason. So it’s really hard to pinpoint it only after like redoing it a few times and finding out, then we realized, but at that point was a bit too late. So Facebook has a huge amount of issues when it comes to monitoring and banning and not banning, because they didn’t really explain it.
So it was that article that got us that got us banned so 500,000 views later. With that article, we were also building a brilliant custom audience right. We had a really really targeted audience of people which, unfortunately, we lost when we lost our ads account, which is really annoying, because that audience was amazing. We could have easily done so much stuff with that audience, but unfortunately we lost we lost that audience.
So it’s it’s a sad sad day, but let’s just quickly go over the policies. So so you can avoid getting your ads account banned because, obviously I don’t want you to get your ads account banned. So I’m not going to do all of this because it’s bloody long, but I’m just going to go over a bit of it, so the process. So you’ll make an ad they’ll review it either it’s done by a robot, it’s done by a human and but it’s pretty much done within 24 hours.
They’re going to review your ad and they’re going to review a landing page so, where the ads going right, prohibited content, you’ve got you can’t do illegal products, services, discriminatory practices, tobacco related drugs, unsafe supplements, weapons, adult products, adult content, third party infringement, sensational content, personal attributes, Misinformation, controversial content non-functional all these kind of things you can’t do, I feel like are one came under the multi-level marketing, which is really stupid because it shouldn’t done that it also may have come unto the misleading claims, because we were talking about how Amazon is really Good, but we were only talking about how we made money on Amazon right, so if we were to how much you could make on Amazon, so I don’t feel like it should have come under the the this I mean.
Maybe it didn’t that’s the thing they never. Actually really say it, but I feel like it came under misleading claims or slash multi-level marketing. Did you come under any of these, so restricted content stuff like alcohol dating will, so this isn’t a strictly? This is just prohibited. Restricted content. Is alcohol dating real money? Gambling state lotteries online pharmacies all these kind of things you’ve got to be really careful again, I’m not going to read this on the article, because I want to bore you for hours reading all this stuff, so I’m going to link this in the first thing, conscription Is going to be this page, make sure to really look at this page before creating ads, because you don’t want your ads account banned and then you’ve got article ads? What you can you can’t do you’ve got you targeting and positioning.
It’s really really there’s a lot of stuff right now. One thing that you can do to avoid potentially losing your whole business. If you lose your ads account, because what we did is we had a pie had a personal ads account which got banned within the personal ads account. I have my custom audiences, my custom ads for my all. My data of my pixels was all in this, and when that got bad, it was done because it was a personal ads account.
Now, if you create a business ads account, you can create multiple ads account within the business, so the the audiences and the pixels, and all that that all those attributes are towards the ads towards the business part of the ads account. So if your ads account banned, you can still have the business side of it. So you don’t lose all your information. So, for example, you have the business manager, then you have ads account right now.
All the audiences and everything is linked to the business manager. So if you get your ads account banned, you can make a new ads account which links back to the first business manager and you have all those audiences still. So I learned that mistake, so I like that doing at the hardware getting my ads account banned and now it’s all done through a business manager. So I recommend, if you are doing Facebook ads, make sure to do it under a business manager account just so that you don’t lose your audience’s and you don’t use your pixels and all of these kind of things.
But that is a story about how we got odds account banned. We had this article going to a landing page. To be honest, there was nothing wrong with it. It was stupid, but they they thought it was something wrong with it, so they banned it and then that’s that’s history got ta, learn from your mistakes really and we have learnt from a mistakes. Obviously, our articles, obviously a lot more team and now on Facebook.
With the add articles, the landing pages are a lot more basic, a lot more informative. So you know what you’re getting and in terms of how we run the ads. We run it through our business manager account. So those are three things to really focus on and just be aware of a few. If you’ve ever had your ads account banned, then let me know in the comments down below and if you even use, if you use Facebook ads at all, give this article a like cool to see who is using Facebook Ads who’s, not using Facebook Ads been really Interested to know – and I hope you like this article there’ll – be more Facebook ad stuff coming in the coming weeks.
But for now that’s it, and I will see you in tomorrow’s article thanks for reading

For example, if you have decided to go only with men, category or kids, category baby, category health and beauty category, you can select the product or you can see the product according to your category, for example, here we have health and beauty.
So, let’s click on the this category. Now, if you see or you see the products which are most selling in this category – like I don’t know this girl stuff, all these things. Okay, oh I don’t know all this work, these things at this brush. They do make up with and all this things so nail polish and so on. So you can sell these products.

You have these things, you know you can see, the price is very low and they are selling really well. So this is the first website that you can go to best selling dot, Aliexpress calm, the second website there you can that you can go to amazon.
Com. Slash best sellers: okay: now I am into baby sections, so let’s just go to best seller section, alright, so here we have first, we have toys and games, and you will see these. This is the number one thing under toys and games this USB charger. I guess, and we have some different games than here – electronics, and these are the different things that are selling most in this category – camera article games, whatever category you want to again, if you want to go to baby’s category, you can select from here the baby category And here you can see these things are really selling well, for example, if you cou this is bottlebrush and it is selling at four dollars.
So you can select these things if you’re going into baby category, you can select these things like this baby banana infant training, toothbrush and so on. Now there are many different products. This will give you a very no nice idea about what you can choose. What products you want to sell and whether, if you want to sell the baby category, whether there are many different products available or not, so that will give you a very good idea.
Okay, so this was the second website. The third website is ebay.Com. Slash deals so here you will see the top selling products, the top selling deals on ebay again many different products over here you can see the featured deals. You can see the trending deals that are going. You can see the category or the tech category fashion, category home-and-garden sports category and other categories; okay, so let’s click on this fashion, category and under fashion category, because fashion category is a very big category.
So you can’t you can’t just you know, focus on one fashion. Category, that is a very big category drop shipping business is all about selecting a niche and going as narrow as possible. Okay, so under fashion you can go for reades. Okay, so you will see these different reades are really selling well. So you get a better idea about what kind of reades to sell and so on, okay, so this was the initial research.
This is going to be your first step. Okay, to do some initial research. There are many more websites and many more places to go that you can search for, but these are the top three places that you can go and see. What are the different products available? You’ll get a better idea about your niche okay. Now this was the first step initial search. Now, let’s go to the next step. Now next step we have to see is whether this product is trending or not.
Whether people are looking for this product on internet or not so the best place to see that is google.Com, slash trends or you can type in trends. Com strength start google.Com. Okay, when you do so you’ll be landed on this page now, once you have selected some product from your, for example, you have selected something from here, then you can see and search that product over here to see whether the product which you have selected is trending Or not whether people are looking for all that product on the internet or not, for example, we can search for something like let’s search for cat, just let’s first search for cat okay, now, as you can see, it is a very stable trend.
Okay, we don’t see any town, many any high. Now this is for past 12 months now we can see past five years. So, let’s see now, if you see past five years also, that trend is very, you know it’s just table, so we what you can do. We can just change this thing and we can go into more narrow niche, so we can select like your cat pajamas. Maybe let’s say select this one now, as you can see, this is a better one.
Okay, in five years you can see there is some hike. Oh okay, in this year we see some hike, so you can see the trends whether these products are training or not, and you can also see the category the country which is interested in this product. Okay, so suppose you are selling to you’re planning to you, know, sell all the care products like cat, pajamas cat cap and all those different cat, hoodie and so on.
So you can target this country here. You see the number one country searching for these kind of thing is UK, so you can target UK okay and you see some related topic so you’re like grumpy cat shirt, clothing under cat okay. Here we have Reis related queries and so on just make sure whatever you’re selecting whatever product you have selected, you see a nice stable thing or your stable trend or a upward trend.
Don’t select a product that is showing a downward trend. Okay, we don’t want to do that, okay, so the next step. The first step was initial research. First, do some research and select a product and the second step? What was this one? Whatever product? You are selected in the first step, search for the trend, search, whether that product is trending, whether the product is going upwards or it is gone, doing going downwards or it is a stable product.
Okay. Now, let’s move on to the third step now in the third step, we have to see the competition. Of course, it is almost impossible to find a popular niche with a good trend, but without competition, so before launching Yahoo dropshipping, where a website store, it is strongly recommended that you search for similar web stores on the Internet. If you find several popular websites offering the same products, especially with good prices with competitive prices, you should probably think about finding another niche and product which are generally harder to find.
Obviously, there is no point in creating another generic shoes, car parts or gardening stores. It is better to take a narrow niche and try to be creative. There are many different reasons or many different benefits. You can see also going narrow to select a narrow niche. The first is when you, when you narrow your niche, you get a better understanding about what you’re going to sell. Okay. The second thing is that it’s easier to rank higher in search engines results for research items, because if your website is only about particular thing like we have seen in the previous examples, cat necklace cat pajamas cat shirts, then it is very easy or not very easy.
But a competitor comparatively more easy for you to rank higher in you know, search results, then the third one is due to your speciality. People will be ready to come to you again and again, because you’re the one in their mind: okay, so because you’re pro your website, your stool is all surrounding all this cat thing. Whoever loves this cat thing. They will remember your website, okay, so this website was good.
It was selling all the products that I am interested in and they will remember your website for a long time. It is really helpful. The fourth thing is that it is always easier to focus on one audience and plan your marketing strategy. Okay, so you can its. It explains the point that you have a very limited audience and you can focus on them and you can plan your marketing strategy accordingly. Now the fourth step is to see whether the product that your that you have selected is in stock or not whether the product that you have selected has different varieties or not, okay, because we don’t want to end up selling only cat caps.
Ok, our website selling only cat caps. That would be not a very good idea. We want to, I know, expand that a bit okay. So we suppose we have selected this cat or maybe some different thing like sonic people like sonic, so now, sonic cap, sonic curve, short sonic, hoodies and so on. So once you have selected that product you can go to Aliexpress Kong, because that is the most famous strong shaking website, okay, and by the way, if you want to learn how to create a drop shipping website step-by-step, you can see a link in the article description Below click on that link, there is our three hours long article step-by-step.
You can create your own drop shipping website from scratch. Okay, so suppose you have selected some product category, what you can do you can come to Aliexpress and search for that, for example, let’s search for cat – and if you see over here, the cat category has around 2 million results, which is a very good thing, which Means that this thing has a lot of products: okay, we have different cat styling, your cat eyeglass, I glasses cat toy cat, bad cat, t-shirt and so on.
Cat ring cat socks. So there is a lot of variety and lot of products available for this particular niche or this particular category. So this is another step to check the stock to check the results to check the you know: different varieties and different products available. Now, once you have checked the different stocks available after that, what we can do, we have to compare the price because see whatever price.
Whatever product you are going to sell, that product is probably you know, it will be available on maybe Amazon and so on. So you have to see the price if the product which is which you know importing from Aliexpress is $ 10 and Amazon is also selling that product on $ 10. Then why will anyone come to your website to purchase this same product for the same price, so that is not going to do so? What we have to do we have to select for we have to now.
The next step is to see the price difference. Okay, so first, let’s go to Amazon and let’s search for something called cat necklace. Okay. Now, if you see oh, you are there many cat necklaces available and the price you can see: 26 dollars $ 24. Okay and these things are also having no decent ratings. So our product that you are going to search on Aliexpress has to be honest at a lower price. So let’s come over here, let’s search for cat necklace again all right! So if you see over here, we have a better necklaces over here.
Okay and the price is also so much diff. In fact, if you see this one now, this is the exact thing that we’ve searched all year. Okay, as you can see, this is the exact necklace. This is $ 26 and you’re. Getting this thing on Aliexpress for around $ 2? Okay, so this is a very good sign that okay, fine, so you can sell this product easily for 1020 dollars, okay, because it is selling for $ 26 on Amazon.
You can easily sell this for $ 15. On your website, so you’re getting a very nice marching on this product, so the next step that this step in this type you have to select, and you have to search for the pricing. The pricing of your product has to be, you know, very competitive with Amazon, because people don’t want to go to Amazon and see okay, I am getting the same product at a lower price because at the end of the day, people are seeing the price okay.
So this is also very crucial step now. The last step is to see the Keyword planner. So what you can do you can open a new tab and type in keyword. Planner, okay, go to Google type in keyword planner. You will see this. This link add word, link, advert or google.Com click on that link and, let’s start using keyword, planner all right guys. Now, as you can see, this is how it will look and obviously first it will ask you to create a website or to create an account on Adwords.
So you can do that easily within few minutes. I have already done that. So if you go to this thing here, you’ll see this go to link click on, go to and search for keyword. Planner over here you’ll see this keyword, planner click on keyword planner. Now, here you have to enter that keyword so that you can see what is the monthly search? What is the monthly number of people who are searching on Google for this product, for example, if you search for cat? Obviously this is a very huge, very common keyword, so it will have a lot.
As you can see, it is around 1 million to 10 million people are monthly searching for you know cat kind of thing, and if you go in more detail like let select cat, maybe necklace, let’s see cat Nicholas, let’s go to get results. Okay. Now, as you can see, around ten thousand people are searching for this produc product cat necklace cat jewelry cash pendant. Then you have different things over here.
Okay, so these this is the number of people you can see. The competition is quite high over here. You can see the paid over here all these things. Okay, so, basically, here you have to see the number of people that are searching for your product and that should be a decent amount of people. Okay, a decent amount of people should be looking for your product. On Google, okay now, obviously there is a better way to market your product.
People are really running good and they are getting a very better and positive results on Facebook, marketing, Facebook, strategic marketing. If I get a chance, I may create a article on how to you know, run different Facebook ad campaigns and how to target people for your drop shipping business. If I get a time in the future, I will try to create a article on that. Okay, but here you can see the what are the amount of people, monthly search, competition and the price for this one.
Okay, guys. I think this is it for this article and there could be many more tips and tricks like don’t try to sell products like glass and so on, for because your product is ultimately getting imported from China and you don’t want any. You know product like that. That will get you into problem. Okay, so product is getting imported from China to maybe India, UK and that product. If it is a glass thing glass, there very high chance that they’re very high chances that it may get broken and so on, and also try to avoid products like knife and so on, because in custom you might see some problem.

All these other types of things before you can be a musician before you can blow as an artist.
It’s just not true people. Let me put this out here plain and clear: not only do we have people like Queen Nyjah, who recently, who was a youtuber and blew up with her song medicine, I did a article on her dropped. It just recently, there’s also so many other examples right here. Let’s just look at the fact that Drake was a TV star before he blew up as an artist long before he blew up as an artist on the grassy.
You have people, like Will Smith, who was a rapper actor, then movie star by the time that he was a movie star and next generation came a lot of people, even though he was a rapper first, they got introduced to him as a rapper. First, look at Donald Glover Donald Glover was a skit writer. Then he was a screenwriter for TV. Then he was a comedian. Then he was an artist that blew up and not only was he a rapper that he became a singer.
All of these things are possible. There’s so many examples of people doing one thing before the other and then changing careers completely and rebranding. I can’t tell you how many people that I might discover and say: hey Dad. You know that guy from such-and-such and then he’ll be like I mean that person that was a singer back in a day or this person, who was an actor back in the day, but I know them for something completely different than what they used to be.
Or what they blew up is all about getting attention at first, the only thing that’s preventing your music for not blowing up. If you already have a big platform like a big YouTube following big Instagram following is two things one in music, it’s just not good enough to your music is good enough, but you don’t have the ability to make enough people here, your music and I’m not just Talking about your YouTube father and who might be following you largely for one thing, but then a decent proportion of them actually listen to the music.
I mean to spread that music for real for real beyond that following now, if their song is strong enough, those people should organically spread it. When we even look at people who get record deals, those record deals usually allow people to easily spread their music pass. Their own social, following it’s honestly, not that complicated again and again and again, I can show you a billion examples of just people who have one career.
Then they get another career people who didn’t start off this on rappers or musicians, and then they got other careers and vice versa, do not let people convince you that shoot should not start a YouTube page or an Instagram page as a part of your brand to Blow up, unless you just don’t think that fits into the brand of who you want to be that just isn’t your personality. That makes sense. It’s all cool, it’s all good if it just doesn’t make sense for your particular path, but if you’ve got the talent to – and you are actually willing to – why not do it? It’s going to give you an unbelievable control of your audience and your own platform.
It becomes your own media platform to market yourself again and again and again and might get you to money a little bit quicker than it would take for a lot of artists to get something sustainable. Those are just my two cents. Please keep that in mind. Other than that, I would love to know, you guys comments, your thoughts go ahead and put them in the comment section below and if you like, this article go ahead, he did like letting me be like you.
What was Sheridan again subscribed. You know what to do. He dare subscribe.
So we can implement a grid system. We’re going to assume we’re using the 960 grid system which comes in 12 and 14 column variations, and it defines 940 pixels of content 940 pixels wide with 10 pixels of gutter on either side of the design now for demonstration purposes will focus in on a 12 Column grid system, but to use a 16 column, we just need to use slightly different values when we set up our guidelines, remember with any grid system online, we’re focused in particular on columns on the vertical lines.
We always want to apply more control and more precision to how our widths are set up than our heights and that’s a main reason for that to get started here. We’re going to go ahead and create our first guideline and we’re going to use those guidelines down the road to guide us as we create boxes and shapes that represent our wire frames. Now, in order to do this, we need to use the rulers in Photoshop and, if you’re looking around – and you don’t see rulers in your version, it may be that you don’t have them active and so to turn them on.
You need to simply tap the command. Our key combination or control our if you’re on a pc, i’m going to do that now and you’ll, see that actually I lose my rulers because they’re already on but command R or ctrl R is a toggle combination. So I just tap it again, and that brings my rulers back now. The other issue that may come up is, we have here a 1200 pixel wide document, its 2,400 pixels tall, and you may have a similar document but you’re looking at your ruler, values and they’re.
Just not matching up now in this case they are. Maybe your values are a lot smaller, though what could be happening is even though you’ve created a document in pixels, your rulers are still up to measure things in inches and any time we’re doing web design. Everything’s a lot easier if we switch everything over to pixels. So in order to do that, all you need to do is tap the command, K or control k.
Key combination: that’s going to open up the global preferences window for photoshop and we’re actually going to scroll down here to the units and rulers subsection and we’re going to check out the units values. Now, I’m all set, my rulers are set to pixels. You can see here, though there are a number of different possibilities and type as well is set to pixels and i’m going to leave both those values.
Just as is so i’ll cancel out of here. Okay with my values, confirmed with my rulers, set up, I’m ready to go ahead and create my first guideline, so I’m going to move my tool set over here on the left a little bit over to get it out of the way, and now I can click And drag from my rulers over on to my document and i’m just going to hold down my mouse or my left trackpad button as I do this and then move this right over onto the document as soon as I release there.
I have my guideline now. If I’m not happy with the placement, I can always move a guideline after I’ve created it. In order to do that, I want to make sure i’m using the move tool which, in my tool palette here, is the very first one. So I can either click on it or I can use the keyboard shortcut v to select the move tool and now I can easily move things around, including my guidelines. So if I hover over this you’ll notice, the cursor changes indicating I can move it left or right and then I can click and drag it in either of those directions.
Now you’ll notice, as I move this guideline, that a little window pops up showing me my exact pixel value for that particular location, that’s a really handy indicator and unfortunately it’s limited to cs6. So if you have an earlier version of Photoshop, you won’t be seeing that value. What you’ll notice, in either case, though, is as I move this even if I’m very careful I’m jumping ahead by four five pixels every time I move my cursor and that’s not very good for the kind of precision work we’re trying to do now, so an easy Way to get more control more precision over what’s happening is to zoom in on the document, and I’m going to tap the Z key to move over to my magnifying glass and because I’m in Photoshop cs6 I’m going to actually click and then drag over here.
Whoop click and drag the other way, and that’s going to allow me to zoom in on the area. If you have an earlier version of Photoshop, you can actually just go to the zoom tool, either click and drag a square over the area that you want to focus on or just keep pressing the mouse button or the left track pad button over the area. You want to zoom in on so now that I’m zoomed in I’m going to just scroll over a little ways here and I’m going to hit V to move back to my move tool.
And now, as I move my guideline left and right you’ll see. Not only can I move it to the nearest pixel, but I’m actually ending up with some decimal values here as well. That’s a little bit frustrating too, because I want to stick to pixels well an easy way to not only stick to integer values, whole integer values, but also to get a little more control over my movement is to hold down the shift key as I do this.
What that’ll do is snap the guideline to the different hash marks on my ruler here so, for example, between 300 and 350, I have four different hash marks, so that means, if I hold down shift, I can go from 300 to 310 to 3. 20. 30. 40. All the way over 250, so down to the nearest 10 pixels, I can move this left and right, which is exactly the kind of control I want for what I’m doing. So. If I wanted to create another guideline, all I do is come back to my ruler.
Click and drag it over and I have my second guideline now the trick is: where do I actually put these guys? Well, I want them in very particular places based both on the 960 grid system. I am based on the fact that I have a document here. That’s 1200 pixels wide well to help us out. I’ve created a document and you can actually download this from the course site in lore. Let’s go ahead and open that up for a second here, so we can see where it is so.
I’m inside of war and web publishing, I’m going to go over to resources to grab this document and it’s the guide placement for 12 and 16 column, 960 grids, so I’ll click on that and I’ll click to download. It’s like I’ve already grabbed it a couple times and I’ll pop it up here. So what this document gives us is the pixel values that we want to use for each one of our guidelines and each line in the document represents a different column, and so we need to guidelines for each column.
In this case, the left guideline is going to be at 130, the right guideline at 192, 10 to 70 and so on all the way down. If I wanted to use a 16 column grid, I would just use the values listed under there. I went ahead and printed this document out, so I have it at the ready and just remember it’s not only assuming a 960 grid, but it’s also assuming a 1200 pixel wide document, and so that’s going to mean that all of our guidelines are going to be Lined up just right so that our web page is centered on this 1200 pixel document.
Let’s come back into Photoshop in fine tune, the ones we’ve already created here. We know we want our first one to go to 1 30, so I’ll hold down shift and move this on down down to 130, and I know I want my second one at nine or 190, rather so I’ll move that to 190. My third one is going to be 2 to 10, so i’ll click and drag hold down shift that snaps to my hash marks on the ruler move that to 210, and my next one is going to be at 270, so i’ll jump over to 270.
Ok, I could keep going just like this and create all my guidelines. Show you one more way to do this, though, that’s available in all the recent versions of Photoshop, and it may be a little faster, especially for those of you using older versions who don’t have the benefit of the little display that pops up and shows me. My exact pixel value as I drag so it turns out. We can create these guidelines using the menu and we do that by going to view up in the menu area here at the top, and we come down to new guide and it’s going to give us two options.
Basically, we can choose the orientation. Remember we’re sticking with vertical, so that’s good and then we simply provide the position value. So I’ve created my first four guides. I know my fifth one has got to be at let’s see here to 90, so i’ll type in 290 and hit ok and there’s my guide so back up to view down to new guide and I’ve created 290. So 350 comes next punch that in and there’s my next guide.
Well, there’s always a way to do things faster and it turns out. Even this can be sped up a little bit by using a keyboard shortcut, and this is actually a good trick to know any time you want to speed up something that doesn’t already have a keyboard shortcut available. This is a really great flexible way in Photoshop to customize the interface so you’ll notice. If I come to view new guide, does not have a keyboard shortcut set up for it, and I know that because to the right here, there’s no key combination as you’ll notice.
On some of these others like, if I wanted to see extras, I can do command H and, as we saw earlier, rulers our command are well. I have no keyboard shortcut for new guide, but that doesn’t mean I can’t set one up and in order to do that, all I need to do is come over to the Edit menu and then come down to keyboard shortcuts from here I can choose my different Menus and I’m going to go back over to view because that’s where the command, I’m looking for libs and I’m going to scroll down and there’s so many different things that can be mapped to keyboard shortcuts.
But I’m going to come all the way down to new guide there. It is and to provide my shortcut. All I need to do is literally click in here and then type the shortcut literally type, the shortcut that I want to use for this particular command. Now the trick with this is because there are so many shortcuts already set up. It can be tricky to find one. That’s not in use now, I’m pretty sure if I do command shift one that that is a available shortcut.
So let me try that command shift. One: okay and if you’re on a PC you can do ctrl shift one to do that as well. I’ll do command shift one. I got no warning telling me that it was taken, but you’ll notice. If I get rid of that and do say command R, which we know is taken now I get a warning saying it’s actually going to replace that old command. So I don’t want to do that so I’ll undo that and again we’ll do command shift.
One control shift: one is a possibility, if you’re on a PC, although frankly you could make this anything. You want just make sure you remember how you’ve set up your shortcut, so you can easily get back to them. Okay, command shift one and will enter in there to save that, and then click. Ok, now that we’re back in our document, we can command shift one, and lo and behold our new guy dialog box opens up.
We can set the position we just did 350. So now we’ll do 370 and we hit enter and there’s our guide command shift. One to create another guide will do 430 and we’ll just go through a couple of these, so you can see how fast this process really can get. And again I printed out the document with the ruler values or the guide values I should say so. I have that right beside me here to speed this up and i’ll do one more okay, so once everything is done, we can zoom back out and we’ll have ourselves the makings of a really good wireframe document with our 12 different columns or if you wanted to You could use a 16 column grid, no problem right about this time.
It’s probably a good idea to save the document, save all that hard work that we’ve put in here and in a follow-up lesson, we’ll talk more about actually creating wireframes and we’ll see you then

I believe all of that is a load of bullshit. You see these ideas consistently fail to Generate leads for me, In fact, the more I listen to the so-called Content marketing experts, the less I’ve been able actually produce LEADS with things like Blogs and article The more “ Top 15 Ways to Get Followed” or “ 37 Ways to Get Noticed on Facebook” articles.
You and I are reading the LESS we accomplish. With social media, But it doesn’t need to be that way anymore. Yes, social marketing is exploding onto the Scene, Customers are spending all day on Facebook, Immersing themselves on LinkedIn blogs, YouTube, Google and on-and-on. That is why we are following customers:… Trying to re-capture their attention and engage them, It’s natural for us to think being on Facebook.
Is important, It feels “ right” to get the word out on your Blog.. To talk about your businesses, your products and services on LinkedIn, Following advice of “, the experts” is safe. So why should you use social media to increase The success rates of customers Or help them avoid risks.. Or solve problems. Why should you create ebooks, educational Articles and checklists that help guide customers, Or why should you use content to take customers On journeys that nurture them toward buying Well, I admit these “ better ways” are new And unusual They feel unfamiliar, But that’s why you don’t act.
You see that unfamiliar path is the reason Why you don’t act on the advice you get, It’s why you make slow progress on making Your blog sell for you, It’s why your audience isn’t growing and sales Leads aren’t flowing It’s why you keep planning on blogging in A more productive way, but the plans don’t get turned into action. It’s because you’re scared of what’s further Down the path Which is totally normal, you haven’t been There, yet Everyone is scared of the path they haven’t.
Been on yet, But I think this is why people are getting So frustrated they’re throwing hands up and saying “ forget about getting leads and sales With my blog.., it’s not possible!”. I understand that frustration, But here’s what’s really cool. I started to Make REAL progress with generating leads for my business when I got “ thrown in the deep End.”, I stopped working for 18 months to research.
And write my book.. And become a trainer. I stalled procrastinated and made mistakes. I wasn’t doing what I knew I needed to do. I was scattered and unfocused. I was spinning my wheels in the mud, But then I got a hold of the one essential Piece of the puzzle that social media gurus don’t even know about…
Thank you very much for being with us in the studio. Thank you very much max for having me now I’d like to start off by asking you a little bit about this year’s theme. It’s smart digital transformation, and perhaps you could tell us what that means incident well max.
It means a lot because actually there is huge pressure in Sudan on ministries and governmental unit by the government to digitally transform services by mid 2018, so yeah, I think it’s very relevant and we participated this year. You know based on that theme, now your participation here. This is the second year you participated at itu telecom world. Yes, this is the second time. Last year we were very fortunate to win an award you know, and this year we are also happy to be in the finalists, so we’ll be expecting an award in the ceremony in a couple of hours.
That’s great and in terms of your experience here at ITU telecom world, what’s been the major draw for you here. Well, I think we have benefitted a lot in terms of networking. In terms of you know, business expansion. We are supposed to sign like 3m OU’s with counterparts here in Korea, and it has been lovely you know so far so good first, one of the main opportunities and challenges of this new smart digital age incident.
Well, Sudan is a virgin market right now for such initiatives and we at NCT are taking the lead. Actually, you can consider us, as you know, the technical arm of the government when it comes to implementing ICT initiatives and projects, and we think this is the right place for us. You know it provides exposure and it provides experience and we’ll take all that back to Sudan and you know implement what we can do and will make a difference.
Definitely terms of connectivity is. Is that a major challenge for you in Sudan? You mean yeah yeah. Well, it’s a challenge and it’s an opportunity as well, and you know whenever there is a risk. There is also you know an opportunity, so we would like to look at it. This way, always yeah would have been your impressions of the conversations that you’ve been hearing here at a telecom world yeah very positive.
I think we are moving forward and as Africans we are pleased that next year it will be hosted in Africa. Yes, so this will be a great opportunity for for all Africans. Yeah now, do you have a key message, perhaps you’d like to impart to our audience here? Well, I think we should all believe in what ICT can can do. Ict can make a difference. You know in the way we live the way we interact with each other and yeah.
I think ICT has solutions. You know for our for for at least many of our problems, and we should believe in that yeah. Definitely. Finally, looking towards the future, how do you see smart digital age evolving? Well, I think it’s it’s it’s on the right track, although we are a little bit behind in Africa, but you know, the drive is is enormous. There and people are looking forward to solutions and, as I mentioned it’s it’s it’s a virgin market there and luckily, in incident countries like Sudan, they use represent like 70 % of population, so the opportunity is always there.
So, micro and small medium-sized enterprises are they very much something that you’re focusing on yeah? Definitely definitely, and we started from now thinking about what we are going to do for next year in 2018, and we are pondering starting from this moment about. You know the project. The opportunities and the partnerships that we can build to bring to the ITT in 2018 yeah. We look forward to seeing you there.
Thank you very much Deeping within the studio, and we wish you the very best of luck over the next year. Thank you, ms. Thank you very much for having me. Thank you. Thank you max. Thank you.
