Most people think you need to have a big list to be a successful, profit generating online entrepreneur.
While having a list is important the size of the list is not the key component.
I’ve seen a lot of “influencers” with big lists of 100,000’s that generate less profits than some unknowns with lists of 5,000 or even 1,000.
Matter of fact my first $136,000 came from a list of 900 people. Even more so, I took 5th place (out of 150 of the top online influencers) in a $1.7 million dollar affiliate launch with a list of just over 1,000 subscribers. That generated me almost $50,000 in cash & bonuses.
So what’s the lesson to be learned here? Two fold.
First and foremost it’s not about having a massive list.
The key factor is having a quality & engaged list.
How much Know-Like-Trust factor do you have with them? How on point is what you are sharing with them in alignment with what they actually want.
The more aligned this is, the more engaged they are & the more ability you have to generate large amounts of cash.
Disclaimer: We only create income/profit/cash when we deliver massive value. It’s never a sales trick. It’s always about providing something amazing to those who want & need it!
Second lesson to be learned is about your strategy.
A solid strategy will produce you more results than any other thing you can possibly do.
Ok, when it comes to strategy we need to think alignment.
Too many Hustle Heroes out there are doing so much, and none of it is aligned.
It starts by solving a singular problem.
Think of your ideal avatar, your perfect client or customer. What is their problem? What do they need help with?
Once you have that we need to align it through out their entire customer journey.
I call this the Hustle & Scale Framework.
How are you going to attract them into your community & tribe?
I use a strategy called the One-Day Summit Formula.
This is an online entrepreneurs PROVEN FORMULA to quickly grow your list, launch your platform, & make more money (even if you are just getting started).
We create our One-Day Summit specifically around the problem our audience is suffering from. We can bring in speakers (or solve it yourself) to provide solutions to these problems.
We make it quick & easy showing them they can get the answers/solutions in less than a day!
This brings in engaged & quality leads into your community, taking them from cold lead to warm prospect.
This is where we get to go deep & provide a transformation, turning the Hot Customer into A Raving Fan (Friend).
Here we move more into a High Ticket offer, & provide solutions around that original problem. Except here we expand into other areas, problems, or potential set backs our audience will have on their journey to this transformation we are providing.
Here is also where we will create an aspirational identity for our tribe to strive towards.
This being a major transformation allows us to charge a high-ticket price point, thus maximizing our profits through our audience’s customer journey.
In this phase we provide our audience a community or tribe. We offer a membership opportunity. This is where we create our recurring revenue for our businesses.
If your business doesn’t have recurring revenue it one bad month away from failure. It doesn’t matter how much money you make unless you have recurring revenue.
We do this by giving ongoing success & solutions to our Raving Fans (Friends) in this community atmosphere.
In this phase we don’t need to have all the answers.
Those 1,000+ leads allowed me to take 5th place out of 150 of the most influential online entrepreneurs. It also generated me $50,000 in cash & bonuses.
This strategy works. It has allowed Dr. Krista Burns at the American Posture Institute to generate $30,000 in a day (with 4 emails) to a list of 3,000 people.
Michael Rosselin was able to generate over $50,000 from this same strategy.
Brand new entrepreneur Lisa Olszewski brought in 7,000 new leads & $12,000 (and she didn’t even have a website.)
