What's Going to Happen?
Peter,
Do you sieze opportunities when they
appear? Did you know that you can
prepare for them in advance?
Let me share a quick story...
I know what's going to happen in advance.
I can be prepared with ads and landing
pages, before new products get launched.
As an affiliate marketer, it means I get
an advantage over everyone else.
Here's one way that I do it, using two
bits of advice.
"Luck happens when preparedness meets
opportunity." ~ Earl Nightingale
"Figure out where the people are going
and get there first." ~ Mark Twain
I mashup the two. Find out where the
people are going, then prepare for it, so
you can get there first, take advantage of
the opportunity and have great success.
Let's take the music business for example.
But it really doesn't matter what market,
as long as they publish magazines on
the topic.
All the major music gear manufacturers
have newsletters. By reading them, I know
what products will be coming out. I create
ads and landing pages for some of the
products I'm excited about.
I go to the book store and ask what day
the new music magazines arrive. This
gives me a target date.
Sure enough, the date the magazine hits
the racks, the product will be for sale in
the music stores. I go to the book store
and check the inside back covers and flip
through the magazine, looking for
full-page ads on the new products.
So long as its a major product
manufacturer, they will advertise in the
magazines. The ads spark interest and
searches for the product. My ads and
landing pages are switched on and ready
to scoop as much affilate revenue as
I can.
I knew the new products were coming,
because I subscribe to the product
manufacturers' newsletters. Thanks to
them, I'm able to figure out where the
people are going, prepare for it and get
there first.
So instead of watching TV next week,
why not prepare for opportunities.
They're all around us. As entrepreneurs,
small business owners and decision
makers, we don't need permission, we
can take action whenever we want.
And pay no attention to what the small,
unsuccessful people say. They'll always
try to belittle your success, mumbling
something about you being lucky, or in
the right place at the right time.
But you and I know better. It's matter of
figuring out where the people are going
and making a conscious effort to get
there first.
carpe diem,
Michael
