Are you selling a subscription service or a membership?

What’s your business: Are you selling a subscription service or a membership?

HOW YOU TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS AFTER THE FIRST SALE WILL DETERMINE IF THEY WILL LOVE YOU OR MEEH!

Having customer pay you monthly is the cool part about having a subscription service application but what happens when you want more?

By more, I mean this… If you rely on new customers every time to be able to make good bucks on your platform then you are pissing off on gold.

Don’t just run a subscription service

You charge them a fee, they get it. They use your platform like every other subscription they have and when they are tired, they close their account with you.

Baam!!! Customer lost.

But but!!! There is a better way.

Run your platform like a membership platform. I use the term membership because people have the tendency to belong and when they do they feel like part of a tribe and this makes it harder for them to want to leave.

Give them a reason to always expect to hear from you. Don’t leave in the dark, constantly remind them of your brand.

Add them to group and forums that help them communicate with each other and don’t just leave them there. Give it a human touch. Be present in the group as the owner of the platform. Be a part of the discussion.
Give them a reason to participate in discussions. Ask questions, create smart but fun polls.
Send them emails, give them updates, ask them for features they will love to see and implement it into your system.
Create webinars once a month if possible, have a discussion with them and sell.
Give them a chance to make money off you… Yes everyone likes a good extra stream of income.

This is just a few surface tips from the strategy book of membership income scaling but these few points can change your business and put more profit in your pocket too.

The goal is to be sustainable and profitable at the same time.

How To Easily Retain Your Existing Customers And Also Increase Your Revenue

Losing your SAAS/Membership customers could be painful, or maybe not.

As the years go by, we must have all noticed the increase in competition in whatever niche we find ourself and this is something everyone can testify to.

This development has also brought a decrease in customer loyalty and an increase in churn rate because they can just jump on the next Ad they see that is for your biggest competitors and then next month, they opt out of your service… Forever.

This is probably a common story for most membership/SAAS platform owners because customers are always looking for the next ‘bestest’ deal.

The biggest mistake you can make will be to lower your monthly subscription fee because they will probably take you less serious when this happens.

Instead, there are other tactical ways you can use to attract your existing customers to stick with you for the longest time while increasing your customer LTV also, which means more money in your pocket.

✅#1 – Your Offer Value

Customers will always love to jump on the best offer, not the cheapest offer so dropping your price as I mentioned earlier will only kill your perceived value. You need to constantly update/upgrade your service, training and even your UI.

This will give your customer more value for their money and they will stick around just because you care for them.

The best way to know what to do next is to always listen to customer complains and suggestions because this is still the best way to understand what your market needs at every point in time.

✅#2 – Tailor your service

Most times people tend to create their service around their imaginary idea and need and this just feels like an achievement but deep down it is hurting your business.

Rather than approach your business this way, it is best to create your solution around their problem. Don’t sell what you think they need, sell what they need. Pause and do a survey, numbers don’t lie.

✅#3 – Backend offers

Every market has a secondary need, something that keeps then looking outside your product or service for a solution. Your funnel may not contain all they need but there are many ways to reach them once they are your customers, this will also increase your revenue.

You need to create offers with your funnels with special packages that solve a particular need. This can be a DFY or DIY offer or even a group coaching and should be mid or high-ticket. You can get this done yourself or even get someone else who is an influencer in your market to do it.

✅#4 – The Customer Experience Journey

People pay for an experience, not just a product. They want the best aspect of your service and also want to feel catered for at all times.

This will require some reliable customer experience and also accountability. They want to know what is going on with your product, they want to feel like they are part of your journey and they want to get to have an easy way to reach you.

This goes beyond emails and FB groups but the actual activity that goes in these mediums is what means the most.

—

Trust me, the best way to increase your revenue is to decrease your churn rate as low as possible, keep customers in as long as possible and also increase their LTV.

An increased churn rate can really take a toll on your business if you let it.

You can not hold back every customer from leaving your product but you can make sure more choose to stay with you.

I hope you found this post valuable. if you have any question or reactions please leave a comment below.

5 ways to handle anxiety as an Entrepreneur

There are 3 thing every entrepreneur has in common, the good times, the bad times and the sad times.

If nothing is constant in the world of running your own business, then this is one thing that no one can change or total control.

Your business will occasionally spiral out of your control and most times, this is not going to be for good. Your start could hit a state of zero clients and you start imagining all types of bad things that could happen.

Your brand could get bad feedback from a difficult client and this could make you feel like your whole brand reputation has been thrown into the trash.

Maybe your peers are beginning to do way better than you and you are wondering why your lucky star has left you. Comparison can really be the thief of joy.

Or maybe you have just run out of funds due to a bad marketing decision or a failed investment.

Heck, this happens to the best of us. You are not alone.

Every top entrepreneur you can ever think of had some kind of rough patch growing up to where they are currently. Even the Legendary Elon Musk has his days when he woke up and felt like sh*t. I am not saying you should ignore your bad time and act like nothing is wrong, but rather embrace it.

This is not the time to be logical or think business strategy, this is the time to play mind games and control how you feel.

There are 5 ways you can do this because if you keep ignoring it, you might go into a state of depression and trust me, this is not good for your health or business.

1. See your bad times as feedback

Yes, this is the plain truth. Bad times are nothing but feedback and indicators to let us know that there is something to be fixed in our business. Your business could be running aground and without this little sad time, you might probably be in oblivion.

What matters the most is not what is happening around you but how you handle it. You can take all that negative energy and turn it into something great. Take the time to study tha loopholes that led to this rough patch. Look within to find what is going wrong.

2.Spend time with loved ones

Yes, as simple as this may seem, this is when you need to be around loved ones the most. no matter how much you try to run your business, you are not robocop lol. You are still human with flesh and blood and heck this is why you feel sad during tough times.

If you have a spouse, spend time with time, if you have friends or sibling close by reach out to them via call or physical meetups, not to discuss business but to distract your mind. This will slow down how fast your mind scales your problem into World War 3, because the mind can really olay funny games when it comes to escalating failure.

3. Eat your special dish

This is the time you need to remind your stomach of how good things can get. Your mind needs nothing but a little distraction.

You need to go eat that special meal you have always dreamed of, go to that fine dining experience, eat some shrimps and nicely made chicken soup or if you are a cooker, then go cook some good meal. Spend that extra dollar to spoil yourself a little. You need it the most. Your stomach can really be the gateway to your soul.

4. Log out for a while and do something else

This is one that works for me a lot. I just go to Netflix and watch the moves of my choice. Movies have a way of drowning your thoughts and making you forget all that has been turning your world upside down.

You can take full advantage of this hypnotic side of movies to cleanse your mind. You could go to a Cinema and see a new movie, or just go watch a fun show on Youtube. This is when you will get to appreciate comedy. Trust me, this will clean your mind out and help you reboot.

5. Just sleep

Yes, do what might be hardest. Take a long good sleep.

You need to go lie down and sleep a little. Disconnect your mind from reality and plug it into a world of possibility. Take that long sleep you have long been denying yourself. Put away all distractions such as email notification and social media. Just totally log out of this world and clear your mind.

Sleep is still one of the best forms of FREE self-therapy you can easily take advantage of. Don’t over think it, just sleep.

Don’t let that feeling drown you, you need to bounce back fast and attack your failures, It’s okay to fall down but staying down in self-pity is going to ruin you.

If you feel that these were insightful or you have something helpful you can add to this, please leave a comment below and share how you handle anxiety.

How Copywriting Can Save Your Business – The Magic Of Selling With Written Words

We all are familiar with selling and what it’s all about.

You go out on the street into a market and everyone is trying to sell you something. This is typical to everyone no matter where we live in the world. I used to hate when people try to sell to me because they are being too loud and too pushy most times.

Well… What if they could sell to me without talking, what of there was a way to effectively sell without being a loud mouth.

The most powerful sales tool is words, written words. This will be a killer tool in the hands of any man who knows how to trigger the right emotions by just using words.

In the age of the internet, copywriting has been the powerhouse behind millions of dollars of sales and this is something we all come across with ot without being conscious of it.

From blog post, to sales letters, to emails and so on and more.

Every minute we spend online, every ad we see moves us closer to being hypnotised by powerful words written to get us to take an action.

So what is copywriting?

According to the American Writers and Artists Inc. copywriting is the process of writing advertising promotional materials. Copywriters are responsible for the text on brochures, billboards, websites, emails, advertisements, catalogues, and more.

This text is known as “copy.” Copy is everywhere

Unlike news or editorial writing, copywriting is all about getting the reader to take action. That action might be to purchase, opt-in, or engage with a product, service, or company.

That’s why a copywriter is often referred to as “a salesman in print.”

Personally, I have been writing copies online even before I got to know what I was doing and learnt how to do it better.

Coming from a background of being a freelance web designer and business proposal writer, I have spent a lot of time writing to get people to buy my stuff and this is fun because you get to be powerful even in your absence.

As a business person, copywriting is something you will always need to have for your websites, emails, ads etc. Being able to positions your works to trigger a direct response from your audience will be the key to exploding your bank account.

You have to be able to create content that will compel people to click on your websites, trigger their love-hate emotions and take them from a position of being lost to being able to see that you have the key to the solution they seek.

And this is not all… because everyone needs a little push to take action so this is where you have to use the FOMO system to push them to click right away and purchase what you are selling.

The real challenge from trying to create a copy comes from knowing how to structure your words to carry your audience to read from the beginning of your copy down to where you ask them to take action.

Just like every other thing in life, there is a shortcut to it.

If you cant DIY, then try the DFY route.

But if you are not good with writing then, you should consider getting someone to get your copies written for you.

There are a lot of people like me who write for a living, people who professionally write copies for big corporations and other businesses like your who already has a vast experience in getting these the little powerful weapon of mass hysteria in action and do the selling for you and this might not be cheap but it’s going to give you some crazy ROI.

Here is a little background about me…

I have written copies and sales letters for business on Upwork and I have also written sales copies for a lot of product in the internet marketing works using services such as ClickBank and JVZoo and also handles a lot of other copy services for corporations such as Genesis group, JetStar LLC, Michigan Luxury homes and other businesses.

If you think your business is a perfect fit for your copywriting services then you should drop a message with me here: Contact me

In conclusion, if you think your sales are low, and your business is not hitting your monthly target, then you need to try something different and get a copywriter to handle all your sales messages and materials

And if you think your business is doing then… You can even 10X your ROI by taking advantage of a professional copywriter.

If you think I missed out something or you got a question, please drop a reply below.

You can proudly share this post too, it’s like spreading the gospel… of marketing.

your adverts to another person as well as who listed your e- mails as spam.

Generally, this data tracking system can make it a lot easier for you and your marketing team to figure out which of your e- mail marketing techniques are producing reliable results and the ones that are wasting your time and effort.

Affiliate Marketing and the World of Making Money Online

If you’re selling a digital product, then there is another very effective way to gain a lot more sales and that is to get other marketers to promote it for you. The best way to do this is via ‘affiliate marketing’ and learning about affiliate marketing is important if you want to understand a lot of the conversation you’ll find in marketing forums and elsewhere.

Essentially, an affiliate is someone who promotes an online product in exchange for a commission. So, if you sold an ebook for 40% commission, that would make you an affiliate. To do this, you simply use a URL that is unique to you. When someone clicks on that link, they will be redirected via a page that will leave a cookie on their computer and they will be identified as having been sent by you.

How Affiliate Marketing Can Help You Promote Your Product

The great thing about getting affiliates to help you promote a product is that you’re essentially building an army of affiliates, all of whom will be able to help you to get more sales for your product. If you can sell 100 eBooks a quarter yourself, imagine how many eBooks will sell when you have 1,000 affiliates!

The key to getting lots of affiliates though is not to be greedy. Create a great product that you know will sell well (and that affiliates will believe in too) and then be willing to give away a good proportion of your profits – over 50% ideally. You can then look for affiliates by listing your product on affiliate networks like JVZoo (JVZoo.com). ClickBank (ClickBank.com) and WarriorPlus (warriorplus.com)

How to Make Money as an Affiliate

Making money as an affiliate is also a very important strategy for internet marketers. Internet marketers make money by promoting the products of other creators and that allows them to make a big money without having to invest lots of time or effort into creating their own products.

What’s more, is that by selecting an existing product rather than making one from scratch, you can remove the risk element by focusing on a product that is already selling very well. Affiliate marketing is a great way to monetize a website and to build a business with zero up-front investment.

Whether you are an affiliate or a product creator, you are going to find that there are a few different materials and terms that come up regularly and that you will end up using to build your campaign.

These materials and terms include:

Sales Funnel – A sales funnel is a selection of free blog posts or articles, perhaps a mailing list, maybe a free report, followed up by a paid report and increasingly ‘high ticket’ (expensive) items. The idea is that you are gradually introducing people to your brand and then helping them to invest more and more in your message and to become increasingly interested in spending more with you.
Sales Page – A sales page is a page that is entirely dedicated to selling your product. That means that there will be no external links, no distracting content or images… just one ‘sales script’ designed to promote the product and make it sound highly desirable. This will be interspersed with ‘Buy Now’ buttons and will use persuasive writing.
Free Report – A free report is a small excerpt or example of your sales funnel.
VSL – A VSL is a ‘Video Sales Letter’. This is a spoken script that works like a sales copy to engage the visitor and get them to buy.
Squeeze Page and Email Swipes – Email swipes are ready-made marketing messages, we’ll look a little more at how a squeeze page and mailing list work together in a moment.
As a marketer, you can either create these materials yourself, get them free when you sign up as an affiliate or use other strategies to promote the products. Either way though, understanding these terms is going to come in very handy when you are learning about internet marketing.

Welcome to the World of Affiliate Marketing

It’s worth understanding this concept, as like I said, it comes up a LOT in forums and online communities. In fact, for many people, internet marketing and affiliate marketing are somewhat inseparable. You will find this when you check out sites like Warrior Forum and Black Hat World. These are forums where internet marketers can discuss ideas and tips with one another, as well as finding opportunities, business partners, clients and services.

Warrior Forum even has its own affiliate network. Spending some time on these forums is a very good way to get acquainted with the world of internet marketing and all it entails. You’ll also find a ton of good advice, as well as being able to hire writers, SEO companies, web designers and other professionals to help you get your campaign up and running.

Here, you will find a lot of people selling link building services but you should be wary of these as the links are often low quality. Spend some time here though, learn the ropes and find out what it really means to be an internet marketer!

How To Buy Cheap Tokunbo Cars Without Stress

About four years ago, a friend of mine bought a fairly used Mercedez-Benz GL450 2008 for N4m.

I was surprised that he could get such a neat and classy car for that price

So, I asked him where he got it from

==> “A friend got it for me from a car dealer website” He said.

That was the first time I was hearing about it. So, I didn’t really think much about it.

Then earlier in 2018, I read an article where Vice president, Osinbajo was quoted to have said “Nigerians import $8bn worth of Tokunbo cars annually”

This proves to be a very viable business loophole.

This led me to meet with a young man who also happens to be one of my subscribers.

His name is Mr Shina Saseyi and he has been buying fairly used cars from the U.S. since 2011 and saving as much as N500,000 or more on the cars.

==> He does this via 2 companies – Copart and IAAI

It got very fascinating when he showed me pictures and documents after documents about the many cars that he has imported using his simple car buying process.

As a result, I begged him to please created a blueprint that someone can follow to do this.

But he has always been busy.

Anyway, this January 2019, he finally did it.

He created a step by step guide that walks you through the same process he has been using to import cars at lower prices since 2011.

It covers his strategy for finding cars to buy, inspecting them, shipping and customs clearing.

The blueprint is for sale at the moment.

If you are interested, click this link to get his car import blueprint at the sale price –

What is freelancing & how do I get started?

A freelancer or freelance worker is a term commonly used for a person who is self-employed and is not necessarily committed to a particular employer long-term.

While the term “independent contractor” is sometimes used to designate the tax and employment classes of this type of worker, the term freelancing is most common in culture and creative industries.

Freelance workers are sometimes represented by a company or a temporary agency that resells freelance labour to clients; others work independently or use professional associations or websites to get work.

Fields where freelancers work is predominantly in music, writing, acting, computer programming, web design, translating, illustrating, film, video production, and other forms of work which some cultural theorists consider as central to the cognitive-cultural economy.

A freelancer can also be a self-employed person offering services, usually to businesses and often to multiple clients at a time.

The type of work freelancers does vary. Nearly every type of service business would need could be provided by a freelancer, including but not limited to marketing, such as social media marketing, copywriting, publicity, writing, technological support, such as programming, interior design, graphic design, and bookkeeping.

Freelancing is really enticing. As it gives you a lot of fulfilment and freedom at the same time. The common issue is simply not knowing where to start. Fortunately, building a successful freelancing career is easier than it seems.

You can start small with your ambitious journey. Start freelancing on the side to gain some feedbacks before you quit your day job. After you feel like you are ready, it is time to make the full leap into the journey.

1. Choose Your Craft

Just about everything could be done remotely nowadays. This is why there is a strong likelihood that the skills on your resume actually contain one or more freelancing opportunities. You may be required to think outside of the box on how to fit your skillset for a remote job. It could be discouraging as remote jobs are mostly graphic designers or programmers and we are not all graphic designers or programmers.

However, you may find that your “secondary” skills can offer up freelancing opportunities. For instance, if you are a strong writer, then you have the potential to develop a freelance writing business.

Don’t be paralyzed by the preconception that you do not have the necessary skills or experience- you would be surprised at how little experience you need to get started. A little faith in your abilities will take you a long way. You can check out my Freelancing course to help you choose a path.

2. Create marketing materials

Lay the groundwork by developing marketing materials. This way, you can start to establish buzz before officially launching the firm. At a minimum, set up a website, create Twitter and Facebook accounts and order business cards.

As you begin to tell family, friends, and contacts about your new journey in the weeks or months before the launch, you will want to have materials that inform them about it.

Start networking and building interest right away and start collecting business cards to set up an email list so you could inform everyone when you are ready to officially launch. You may be surprised by the amount of forwarding you might get if someone is interested in what you have to offer.

3. Keep in touch

You have probably sent out a mass launching email. Maybe there are a lot of people who have replied, or maybe you are discouraged by the lack of response.

Find a few business cards that might have had interests in you and send a personal note to follow up. Maybe include a message of what you guys talked about that was interesting. When you don’t want to do is to follow up with an open-ended request. “We should get coffee sometime” isn’t something that would make anyone rush to their calendar to block out time to meet with you.

4. Play the odds

Ultimately, securing freelancing work is a numbers game- The more prospective clients you contact, the more likely you are likely to find work. That is the equation you should keep in mind. If you have a reasonable skill set and create a quality brand, there is no reason why you cannot succeed in the world of freelancing like so many others before you.

If you are finding it hard to get started, my program is designed to push you self leveraging on existing platforms focusing on Fiverr.com and this will cut the whole stress of having to create your whole marketing plan yourself.
