Anders Getting Yourself Out There

If you think that you need a break through product to succeed is wrong. If the market is not ready for it, you will not be able to sell it. So revolutionary products need great marketers. 

A smarter solution is to find something that already sells and see what you think the product is missing. You may either model the outline, not copy! How are they selling the product to you and what ads are they using? and go make a better one. 

Or you can make a bonus product that you sell together with the original product. So buy the product and try it out, not for one hour, but give it your best shot. If it does not work or is a scam, use PayPal to get refund. 

If you think sales happens without doing nothing, grow up. In order to do Internet marketing, YOU NEED TO LEARN and APPLY MARKETING. If you not, go to an online casino or vegas. I have not seen a successful online butlering service yet...

In marketing you need to be able to tell good stories, to get the outline, watch a Disney movie if you want something to use as a model on how to write it.

When you start out online, be careful of who you listen to. If they are afraid of trying new things or trying to protect you, you know that they are good people. But nobody I know so far has become successful doing what everyone else does. You do not ask someone who is broke about how to become rich. And you do not ask a person who do not know sales or marketing online to teach you how to market. Choose to be coached of someone who is teaching at your level, where you are at the moment. 

I just started doing podcasts and have learnt much the last few days on 30days OFA challenge. If I an engineer who failed in doing a career of it and fell in love with marketing can do this, so can you.

Hi Anders here, this episode is about asking the question who instead of how. Think about designing your logo for example, you may learn it and do it in 10 hours. You will probably get a mediocre result. Or you hire a pro online who does it for $40-70 and use your time to do something else. 

Hey do it yourself $7 an hour, I am not working for anyone at that price. Moreover, the time you spend on your logo could be used to do something that gives better return of investment in your time. 

You can think of the example of getting a contractor to make a house. He knows how to get the things done, but he still hires people to do the electricity, plumbing, making the foundation and so on. He has outsourced it to people who does a better job at it than him. He just knows and hires the right people and get everything together.

I am way better for example on explaining with text than talking. I describe mailing list as postboxes offline, and you usually get ads every week with offers in your mailbox. This can result of you going to their place to do for example groceries. 

In the online case, people give up their email if they are interested enough to want to see your offer. And by mailing them you can increase the chance of the buying the offer. It also saves the person the time to look for you again. Moreover you can remind them if they get distracted and forget you, and makes them seeing you again much more likely.

Not building a list in internet marketing is like drilling a hole in the fuel tank is an episode that I wrote the script for. I hope you enjoyed today's episode and see that you can do this as well. See you soon 

This episode is to show you how I use my shortcomings to motivate myself. The power of learning from failure and using the frustration of shortcomings to work harder to get to where I want to be. It propels me like rocket fuel to get the things done. Putting the episodes up here while I am doing the 30day One Funnel Away Challenge is really awkward for me.  But I am doing this to show that imperfect action is better than perfect inaction. 

Failure is how you learn things, embrace it and when you hit an obstacle, you know that you are on the right way. Yes, obstacles shows you that you are treading the ground that most people avoid.  You have, friends, other people, google and YouTube so you can always find ways around your obstacles.

I hope that my story inspire you to follow my footsteps and that by doing so you will create your own success.

My background online. I hope my story would inspire more engineers who are not getting the exciting jobs they hope for listen to this. I also hope that people who speak English with an accent like me, who are afraid to put themselves out there get inspired by me and dare to follow my path. 

Yes I am not trained at speaking on podcasts, listen if you do not believe me. I started online because I do not belong in a lab and to work with my childhood friend Sven. I have done work in the background for a few years in his company, including many blogposts. 

But even if I know a lot about marketing, I am still struggling with podcasting and building my name online. I am just starting 30 days of concentrated work to become better at this, but it is only the beginning of my journey in podcasting, I want to show you that anybody who wants to help people reaching success can do this, no matter how bad your first episode sounds...
