Online Marketing Lessons From The Seahawks?

Views: 8

Did you catch the one big lesson from the Super Bowl in 2015?  It’s a lesson that applies to sports, business and life in general.  Even if you hate football, you’ll appreciate it.

Here’s what happened if you missed it.  With less than a minute left in the game, the Seattle Seahawks were one yard away from scoring a touchdown that would put them in the lead.  If they could “punch it in” they would win.  The gleaming Lombardi trophy was in the Seahawks’ claws.  All they had to do was give it to their star running back, Marshawn Lynch and let him run it in.

You see, all season long Lynch and the Seahawks had been lethally effective in these short yardage situations and the patriot’s defence had been rather soft against these types of running plays.  It seemed like a no brainer.  Just give it to Lynch and the championship is yours.  Then it happened.  Instead of giving it to the tried and true Marshawn, coach Pete Carroll decided to try a pass play.

Then the patriots intercepted and stole the Super Bowl right out of the Seahawk’s talons.  The Seahawk’s coach Pete Carroll did try to explain his decision.  According to millions of football fans, Carroll just outsmarted himself.  He got too creative.  Here’s the thing, if he handed the ball to Lynch and Lynch had failed to score, no one would have blamed Pete Carroll.  They would have said: “He went with his strength when the game was on the line.  Can’t fault him for that.”  Instead, everyone thinks he cost his team the Super Bowl.

So you might be wondering what this has to do with your online business?  A lot of folks seem to want to “out smart” themselves when it comes to building their online empire.  They want to try to do it themselves.  They want to try some kind of risky, creative, pass play when they’ve got Marshawn Lynch waiting to carry the ball over the goal line.

Click Funnels is your Marshawn Lynch.  Just like Marshawn, Click Funnels has carried the ball over the goal line thousands of times.  Click Funnels has paid out over $20,000,000 in commissions.

Click Funnels is your strongest option when the game is on the line.  If you try Click Funnels and do not succeed, you can truly say: “I went with my strongest option”.  However, if you do it all yourself and fail, well I would ask: “Why didn’t you just hand the ball to Marshawn?”  Don’t pull a “Pete Carroll” with your online business.

7 Habits Of Highly Successful Online Businesses

Views: 4

In his legendary book: “The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People” Dr Stephen R. Covey gives a wonderfully simple and powerful illustration about priorities.

Imagine a bucket and a pile of rocks.  Some of the rocks are big, some of the rocks are small and some of the rocks are so small they are like sand.  What’s the best strategy for fitting all the rocks in the bucket?  If you put the small rocks in first, you don’t have room for the big rocks but if you put the big rocks in first, the small rocks flow around the big rocks and all the rocks fit in the bucket.

The bucket is your life.  The big rocks are the most important things in your life including family, dreams, goals and friends.  The tiny, sand-like rocks are the trivial things that are not important at all.  Covey is pointing out that many of us put the tiny rocks in first.  We let the trivialities of life get in the way of achieving our big goals.

The only way to achieve your big goals is to put them first in the bucket first.  You need to make them a priority.  Then carve out a time on your calendar and put them in first.  Everything else needs to wait until you’ve dedicated time to those goals every day.  For example, if starting an online business and achieving financial freedom is a goal then you need to carve out time now to make sure it happens.  If you don’t, it will never happen.  The million and one little grains of sand will always fill your bucket first.

If you say that something is a priority but don’t put it in the bucket first then you’re lying to yourself.  Plain and simple.

So, if your goal is to start an online business then use the Covey method.  Start your day every day with Russel Brunson’s proven Click Funnels system for making commissions.  Fill your bucket wisely.

An Opportunity That “Ticks Every Box”

What does a former management consultant for a large Australian firm recommend you look for in an online business opportunity?  Well, Stephen Grant spent years in the “rat race” and was quite successful.  He retired as the primary management consultant for his firm.

After he retired and there was the global financial crisis, he found he didn’t have as much retirement income as he thought he would have.

Rather than going back to the “unhealthy, limited” rat race, he went looking for an opportunity that would “tick every box”:

  • A professionally structured system
  • A sophisticated sales funnel
  • Products that exceed expectations
  • Thorough training programs

He believes he found it.

Do You Know The “Hub” Method Of Online Success?

Did you know that you can get to your online business goals faster by going slower?  It’s true.  FedEx proved it.  FedEx became the name in overnight delivery back in the ’70s.  They completely disrupted an entire industry with their lightning-fast delivery by choosing a slower system.

It doesn’t seem to make sense but it’s true.  It’s known as the hub system.  The best way to imagine a hub system is to imagine a bicycle wheel with spokes.  Can you see it?  That’s a hub.  Every package, regardless of where it comes from goes to the hub first an then on to it’s final destination.
If you’ve ever had to “stop over” on an airline flight, you know that a hub system slows you down.  It’s a lot slower than a direct flight to your destination, right?  So, how does a hub system enable FedEx to deliver faster?  It’s because a hub system dramatically reduces complexity.  Let’s say, you have 10 destinations you need to deliver to.  To set up direct flights between all your destinations, requires 45 different routes.  Scribble 10 dots on a piece of paper and then connect them all and count the lines.  It’s a lot of lines and it looks like a crazy spider web.
If you put a hub in the middle of these locations, then suddenly you only need 10 routes.  That’s a massive reduction in complexity, a massive reduction in cost and a massive reduction in errors.  The cost of savings allows FedEx to invest in greater speed in other points of the delivery system.  A hub system equals faster delivery.
You might be wondering what on earth does this have to do with your online business success.  Well, making money online is complicated as I’m sure you’ve figured out by now.  There’s tons of destinations you can fly to.  It’s easy to waste a lot of time bouncing from:
  • Website design to
  • Product creation to
  • Email marketing to
  • List building to
  • Shipping and customer service to
  • Traffic and lead generation to
  • Sales funnel construction to
  • And on and on it goes

Connecting all those dots gives you a massively complicated, time-consuming, expensive and error-prone “web” as well a massive headache.  It may be a profitable online business or it may not be.

Click Funnels is the HUB you need to make your online business “delivery system” far less complicated, far less expensive and far less mistake-proof.  Click Funnels puts everything you need in one place.  It frees you up to do the things you’d rather be doing with your time.

Just like FedEx, Click Funnels has delivered time and time again.  They’ve paid out over $20,000,000 in commissions in just a few short years.

So, when you’re tired of flying from one destination to another to another:

Is Your Online Business Columbo-Proof?

Views: 3

Back in the late ’60s and early ’70s, actor Peter Falk immortalized the character of Lt. Frank Columbo on American television.  If you’re not familiar with “Columbo”, he was unassuming, rumpled-raincoat-wearing, cigar-smoking TV detective.  The villains always underestimated him but he always got his man.  One more thing occurred in every episode.  Columbo would interrogate the villain and then, just as he was leaving, he’d turn and say, “Oh, just one more thing…” Then he’d ask the big question that would pin the villain in a corner.

Let’s say, you were starting an online business.  You tell Columbo how it’s going to make you wealthy.  He listens closely, nods and says, “Well, it certainly sounds like you have it all figured out.  I’m sure you’ll be very successful.  Thanks for your time.”  Then he shuffles to the door, turns and says:

“Oh, just one more thing, how are you going to make any big money online selling a low-priced product?”

Or

“Oh, just one more thing, how are you going to pay for all the traffic you’re going to need to test your offer until you know it converts?”

Or

“Oh, just one more thing, how are you going to handle all the shipping, customer service, administration and tracking?”

Or

“Oh, just one more thing, how are you going to build a website, write copy for landing pages, sales pages and autoresponder email messages?”

Or

“Oh, just one more thing, how are you going to close sales over the phone?”

They are fantastic questions that pin most online marketers in a corner.  Click Funnels is your Columbo-proof online business.  When you partner  with Click Funnels, you have ready answers for all those: “Oh, just one more thing” questions.

The answer is that Click Funnels takes care of all that.
