  • Discover The 2 Reasons Why People Buy Anything (And How To Use This Ethically To Make Money Online)

    Why is sales so uncomfortable for so many people? What if you could make sales effortlessly and easy by understanding the 2 core reasons why anybody does anything, and then incorporating it in your marketing and sales process of your online business? Today I'll share the answer with you.

    I used to be afraid of sales, I thought the people who crush it in sales have to be high pressure and sales-ey, like Jordan Belfort from the Wolf Of Wallstreet. But I was forced into sales because I had no degree and no certifications and it was the only way that I could see myself making a decent amount of income.

    What I found is that you can sell and make a lot of money by simply talking less and asking better questions that identify these 2 core reasons why people take action.
    In this episode I'll cover:
    The 2 most basic reasons why anyone takes action (or doesn't take action).
    The 3 biggest mistakes that people make when it comes to sales (including sale professionals) and how to NOT do these things.
    Once you understand why people take action, how to integrate it in both your marketing and sales to make it effortless.
    Imagine what it could be like if you could sell better while also helping your clients get the transformations they desire!

  • HVQ #4: How To Make Money Online By Creating User Generated Content For Stuff That You LOVE!
    Did you know that you can make money online by creating content about the products, services or brands that you love? Many of you are already recommending the things that you love and it creates an amazing amount of social proof and credibility to your audience. Sellers, manufacturers and vendors know how important this is and they are willing to PAY you for this type of content! This is called User Generated Content, also known as UGC or Consumer Created Content.
    In this episode I'm going to talk about:
    What is User Generate Content?
    Why is User Generated Content important to vendors & sellers.
    3 methods that you can start using to make money by creating UGC.
    If you want to bring in some additional income it might be worthwhile learning how you can create UGC for your audience, or create a new one. There are also people who do this full time and make 6 figures doing so! Here are some examples of how I've used UGC to create extra income:
    Example of UGC in a social media post using an affiliate link: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/simonwparsons1_marketing-entrepreneurship-success-activity-7034157017200017408-ayD6

    • Stop Chasing Clients! How Content Marketing Can Fuel Your Online Business (Without Desperate Sales Tactics)

      Does this sound like a good strategy: Find other influencers on social media that do what you want to do, then hang out in the comments of their posts and stalk their fans and try to 'slide into their DMs' and ask them a bunch of awkward questions to try to get them to reveal their pain points, then sell them on the solution? That's the strategy that they taught in the first business coaching program that I enrolled it. It didn't make sense then and it makes even less sense now.

      I've never brought in a coaching client through cold outreach and you don't need to either. Instead you can use Content Marketing to attract them to you.

      In this episode, I'll explain:

      • What is content marketing and how does it differ from traditional marketing?
      • Why content marketing is superior to just trying to sell, or even selling combined with traditional marketing.
      • The difference between creating content and content marketing.
      • 3 easy ways you can start to level up your content marketing game.

        • If you've struggled with getting sales or been taught you need to 'grind it out' with outdated sales strategies, you can ditch that old way of thinking and embrace a content marketing strategy that positions you as the authority and makes selling 10x easier!

        • The 3 High Income Skills To Cultivate If You Want To Master Making Money Online

          Most coaching certification programs are a borderline scam. They sell people on the dream of being an entrepreneur, waking up whenever you want, picking your dream clients, strolling down to the beach to do some work for 3 hours a day. It sounds nice, but why is it so few entrepreneurs actually make a decent amount of money online?


          Here is the reality, a lot of business coaching and entrepreneurship get sold on this dream (which is possible and very attainable) but they use this type of marketing and don't teach the actual high income skills that are actually required to thrive online. They make people think that its the product, offer or certification that will bring in the business.


          In this episode, I'll dive into:

          • The biggest mistake that new entrepreneurs make when they get into business.
          • Why you could be awesome at what you do but still struggle to get clients.
          • The ONE thing that every business needs to have whether its online or offline, big or small, physical or digital products. Without this, no business can thrive. And without it, it does not matter how good your offer is.
          • The 3 high income skills that correlate to actually bringing money into your business. Each one of these skills you could create a career out of by itself, but put these 3 together and your business will be doing exceptionally well.
