The Downline Online 21-day
SFI Promotion Course
DAY 10
I'm wondering if you've given any thought to our conversation about freedom.
Without being too redundant, there are two kinds of freedom we're looking for: Time
freedom and Financial freedom. The freedom to do what we love -- having the time to do it
and the finances to support it.
If you haven't already, I want to invite you to take some time and write down what
freedom means to you.
You may have heard this, but there was a long-term study of Yale graduates to see what
factors determined success. The researchers found that there was a group of 3% of the
participants that were more successful than the other 97% COMBINED!
The only difference they could find between the two groups is that the INCREDIBLY
successful group WROTE DOWN THEIR GOALS and DREAMS and the other group didn't!
Amazing isn't it.
Why does that work? Because it's the first step in taking your thoughts and turning
them into reality. Simply writing down your goals and dreams is a creative act, an act
that, at some level, brings those things into being.
It also serves as a reminder, something to focus on. And what we focus on naturally
grows.
Ever have a day where everywhere you turn, things seem to be going wrong? You start
looking for the next thing to break or get screwed up, don't you?
And, have you ever had one of those days where it all goes right? Of course you have.
Once you realize it's one of those days, you start looking for things to do, because you
know they'll go well!
If someone made a movie of both of those days and you looked at the movie, the days
themselves would look the same. Same number of things going "right" or
"wrong."
The only difference is your attitude and what you focus on. On those bad days, some
great things were happening. But your focus on the negative made them invisible.
So, when you write your goals, and keep them somewhere visible, it helps you focus, it
helps you notice the things that will actually get you to where you want to be!
##### Today's Lesson - The "real world" #####
If I said to you, "here's a place to advertise where 200,000 people can see your
ad," would you care where it is? I don't mean "would you want to know?" I
mean, "would it matter?"
The reason I ask is that I want you to do something today that may be stepping
"out of the box" for you.
It's so easy, you'll probably be STUNNED you didn't think of it... or, if you've
already done it, you'll be WAY impressed with yourself!
See, many SFI members get so focused on the online world, that they forget the basic
principle of success with SFI, which is simply "let people know about your SFI
website."
I didn't say, "the only way to let them know is by doing things online."
The only requirement is letting people know; I don't care if you do that by standing on
a street corner and yelling "GO TO WWW-DOT- SIXFIGUREINCOME-DOT-COM-SLASH-QUESTION
MARK-27270!"
Luckily, I'm not suggesting you to do that (unless you try it and find that it works).
Look at what other successful websites do, they advertise EVERYWHERE. On TV, in
newspapers, on buses, on billboards, in magazines. Wherever there are eyeballs, they run
ads.
You should do the same thing!
##### Today's ACTION Plan - GENERAL #####
Look for places to place ads in the "real world."
*** What should the ads say? ***
Keep it simple. Use things like the sample ads on the DO site.
In a small classified, I'd say something like:
Online Income Course FREE details!
or...
Make Money Online Turn 20 minutes/day into $2000/month! FREE info.
Now, you can point people to your SFI website, or you can put a voicemail phone number
that they can call -- if you do that, put your SFI website info on the outgoing message.
*** Where do you place the ads? ***
Bulletin boards in grocery stores, laundromats, bookstores, coffee shops, etc. When you
use flyers on bulletin boards, make sure you have little "tags" people can tear
off with the the info (Your headline and URL or phone number)... then tear off one or two
when you put up the flyer so it looks like people are interested already!
Newspapers (especially "pennysaver" or other free newspapers).
EVERYWHERE -- you can make up small business cards with an ad on it and scatter them
wherever you go!
*** Using a shorter URL to point people to ***
If you want to have a shorter URL than
"www.sixfigureincome.com/free/?XXXXXX.XX" you can do that by setting up your own
domain.
For example, if you have a virtualave.net account, you can give out that domain and
have the index.htm file at that site point people to your SFI site.
The easiest to do this is using the following code for the index.htm page (I'm giving
this to you so, those of you who know how, can DO what I'm describing!)
