Change Your State Of Mind And You Can Change Your Results!

Tony Robbins provides some interesting insight into the means in which an individual can improve his or her life. Yes, Robbins has a tendency to oversimplify the means in which people can improve their lives but at the core of his discussions there is a sincere message in regards to his mission of aiding people in improving their lives.

One of the more interesting aspects that Robbins examines is the notion that the ability to tie pleasure toward an activity while removing feelings of pain associated with the same actions.

This is a brilliant concept that is spelled out in Robbins’ book AWAKEN THE GIANT WITHIN and it bears a little examination here.

So what does this “pleasure-pain” concept truly refer to? Consider the example of wanting to write a novel and being a fantastic and world famous writer. Now, if you to resent the world with a bestselling novel then you have to first start by handing the novel (all 300+ pages folks) to the publishing house. Of course, you can not hand anything over to the publishing house unless you sit down in a chair and actually crank out those 300+ pages.

That means spending a lot of time alone in a room and working on a novel. That is a huge time and work commitment. In fact, it can be overwhelming and it can be overwhelming to the degree of turning the whole venture into a very painful process. But, folks, what is so painful about being a world famous novelist? Nothing! But people do not look at the end result.

Instead, they look at the long and dragged out process that comes with a number of painful aspects of tedium, writer’s block, et al. However, this concept is only in a person’s head! That is, it is a weak mental outlook on the situation as opposed to looking at the positives.

So, the pleasure pain principle comes into play when a person looks at the task at hand and instead of seeing the long road of pain they see a long road of opportunity.

That is, they see the end result which is being a world famous novelist. This approach is the root of success as it involves self improvement via changing one’s outlook on life as well as one’s outlook towards one’s work.

Change your state of mind and you can change your results. This is a Robbins’ maxim that is well worth taking to heart.

Apply These Elements To Your Own Membership Site And Watch It Take Off

When you are planning a membership site, there are certain elements that you must maintain, regardless what type of site it is. These elements work together to drive great, relevant traffic and make it successful. Apply these elements to your own membership site and watch it take off.

Make sure the niche is correct

When you choose a niche, you want to choose the best niche for your site, product or service. If you choose the wrong niche and market that way, you will lose many great customers who want to spend money on your site, but can’t because they can never find their way there.

You also should find a niche that is in demand but has little competition( KEI Ratio).

This may be a bit of a challenge, but if you do some research you can find a niche that works great for what you have to offer and has little competition. Find relevant keywords to use but use them wisely.

Make sure you can create quality, relevant content

If you don’t have content on your website, the search engines can not find you. This means that your customers or potential customers can not find you.

The catch is, if your content is not optimized for the search engines and is not relevant to your business, your customers will surf on by as well. You have to have content to make a decent showing in the search engines, but you have to have relevant content to attract the right kind of customers.

Find keywords that your customers would use to find you and optimize your content using them. This will guide your customers right to your door.

Make sure you can keep members engaged

Getting your customers to your site is one thing, keeping them there and keeping them engaged is quite another.

Give them things that they not only want, but that they can use. Give your members information in the form of articles, e-courses and newsletters. These are inexpensive and simple ways to keep your members interested. Keep in touch but don’t overwhelm.

You may want to use auto responders to send messages to your members, just to touch base now and then, but sending them a barrage of emails, overwhelming them will only serve to lead them to unsubscribe.

Make sure that you give members something to come back for

You have a great product or service, that is a given, but you want your members to venture back to your site time and again. Do this by updating your site often, updating the information on your site, adding new products and services and just keeping the site fresh.

If they come back, and they have had previous experiences that were positive, then when you offer them new things and new information, they are likely to return again and again.

Make sure you constantly sell to the subscribers even after selling the membership

Selling the membership to your subscribers is just opening the door to a lasting relationship with your customers. Offer them lots of products or services and give them plenty to purchase.

You may want to offer members discounts on your products as an incentive to purchase the membership as well as purchase the products.

A typical example would be offering a 2 months free membership after a successful 12 months paid membership. Or discounting high priced products over 50% after a successful 12 months paid membership.

Whatever way you do it, keep selling to your members after you sell the membership. Selling the membership is just the beginning.

Remember! during the process of selling don’t compromise on Value. Make sure you provide valuable content all along.
