What If We’ve Been Teaching It Backwards All Along?

There are nights when a simple conversation turns into something bigger.

You start out just talking…
And before you know it, an hour has gone by and your brain is spinning — not from confusion, but from clarity.

That happened to me tonight.

For a long time, I’ve been saying the same thing:

“Promote more… don’t just surf.”

And I meant it.

But something hit me during that conversation…
What if it’s not that people don’t want to promote?
What if they were never really shown how in a way that feels natural to them?

What I’m Starting to See:

Members come in and do what they’re shown.

Click. Earn. Repeat.

And if that’s all they see… that’s all they do.

But when someone starts to:

  • show up consistently
  • share what they’re doing
  • talk about why something works

Something changes.

Not overnight…
But it changes.

The Missing Piece:

It’s not just about telling people what to do.

It’s about:

  • showing
  • inviting
  • encouraging
  • creating space for them to think

Because when people feel like they’re part of something…
They don’t just click.
They participate.

I’ll be honest…
Sometimes it does feel like I’m banging my head against the wall.
But then something happens:

  • a comment on a blog post
  • someone trying something new
  • someone showing up differently

And I realize…
it is working
just not all at once

Where I’m At Right Now:

I’m not trying to change everything overnight.

I’m just:

  • building tools
  • sharing what I see
  • creating spaces where people can grow

And trusting that the right people will feel it.

Because maybe…

it’s not about pushing harder

it’s about opening the door wider

And seeing who walks in.

Curious what I mean? Take a peek at what I’ve been working on:
This might change how you look at things


Promote, Promote, Promote – Does It Pay?

promote2So often I get asked how do I earn money online and what is it that I do that causes me to get so many referrals, earn commissions and grow my sites.  The bottom answer is promote, promote, promote – Does It Pay?

Well I have some examples that I would like to share with you and some of the mistakes that I have made and what I have learned over the years.  First of all I hear so many talk about not having their own program so don’t know what to do and that was my first excuse that I used.  Well the first thing I suggest doing is find a program and become an affiliate for the program.

Now I’m not just saying join a bunch of sites and throw out your referral links – I’m saying find a program and yes it can be a traffic exchange, a product someone has created or a program that is something that will benefit others.  It took me many years to get this thru my head but finally that light bulb went on.

I know most of you have seen the page that I created and plastered it all over – and this is why I tell you all the time do something that is going to be different, something that will pause the member when they are surfing, and yes I also use mailers but everyone got to see this page Hot Flash Hits .

Now for all of you that grab a referral link and pop it in here and there and add say 1000 credits to it and then think wow well this site didn’t work – well after watching the hits that this page and anything that I promote gets 1000 is NOT enough these days to get you the results you are looking for.  The problem that I see so many doing is giving up before doing all they can to make it work.

You see when I believe in a program, I keep at it – promote, promote, promote – does it pay?  Yes it does and all I can say is find something that you really believe in, learn that program, and then get out there a do everything you can think to do to tell people about that program.  It can be a splash page, a blog post, a video, sending out solos on the mailers and safelist, etc – try it all – track what you are doing and your will soon find what works for you.

resultsYes I said YOU, I can sit here all day and tell you what I am doing but what is working for you may not work for you and what you find that will work for you might not work me me or anyone else.  BUT if you don’t do something – take action – you will NOT get results.  So stop making excuses, stop blaming everyone that you are not earning money – get out there and take some action.
