3 Quick Ways to Sell more and Earn more in 2019

Nice and simple. I love your advice because I do it every year - and tell those I care about to follow it as well.

Pruning your email subscriptions and limiting time spent on social networks can free up enough resources to develop new products or execute fresh marketing ideas that boost sales and profit.

And #3 is, of course, the biggie! Stop being a consumer and transform into a creator.

Happy New Year!

This its a logical thing that many people miss its about producing more than consuming ,this means you will make more money instaed of spending or losing time

Sure, good advice as far as it goes. It is maybe the fifth or sixth post in the last few days which says the same thing; quit consuming, PRODUCE.

And it is something many Warriors want to do.
So, maybe expand this with the HOW?

If they follow the first 2 parts, they save time, now tell them what to do with that time to become a PRODUCER.

And, so as not to be snarky with the obvious, the switching from consumer to producer, I'll get the ball rolling.

Every single Warrior has some STORED VALUE in his/her mind. Some experience, knowledge, contacts, skills or even just location...which can be mined and turned into a product. You can PRODUCE a product fairly quickly, easily and without much time spent.

In fact, the time saved in the first two parts of the OP (original post), would be enough time to create a product. HOW?

Maybe you think you don't have any specialized know how, then start where you are at with what you have. Your location. It doesn't need be a tourist guide, or even a destination, but how expert are you on the place where you live? Can easily be turned into a product.

Such as a NOSTALGIA product which goes back 50 years in time in your community and with a little research, you can create a product local people might be interested in.

If you want to see an example of such a product (and I have NO affiliation) then go to Amazon and search for Carl Ellis and Bradford, Ohio Christmas Past. Simple little product anyone here could PRODUCE.

But chances are you do have some experiences to call upon to create a product. Maybe hobbies, spare time activities, reading habits.

The BIG SECRET to becoming a PRODUCER as both Shawn and Dr. Mani advise...is...to create or produce something people want.

HOW? Again, with the questions. I like to see people begin with TARGET markets, or people who buy, people who have demonstrated an interest, or better yet, a passion in a subject. OR, it they have a problem shared by multitudes.

Warrior Barb Ling produced a ONE page hotsheet (cheatsheet) and sold a ton of them. Many people produce one page products, even courses out there on how to do that.

I like to see people start with one piece of information, expand it out to four pages. Then detail it out, include graphics, pics, formatting...and you can produce a product a week, with the time saved by staying off social media, email, and forums even.

You don't need a web site either. I've sold scores of products off of my DROPBOX account (the FREE version).

Easiest product to produce? The INTERVIEW. I just had 20 minutes of audio transcribed at Rev dot com, and the five pages I got back, turned into a nice 12 page report for the first product of the year.

If you can talk, you can create a product easily in half an hour, and maybe one of the voice transcription softwares, like Dragon, may allow you to dictate your content. There are free voice to text programs, which may (or may not) save you time too.

So, this is hardly comprehensive, but a starting point to APPLY the advice...producer not consumer.

YOU, whomever and wherever you are, have some stored value in your brains, use the time you save and spend it on getting into producer/creator mode. NO promises here, but at least now you have a tad bit of the HOW, fair enough?

Great tips

To add to your list, I suggest #4

#4: Focus on ONE THING at a time

Focus on one opportunity

Implement it

Tweak it to get desired results

Optimize to get the BEST results based on your resources

Reinvest in your optimized system and SCALE IT UP

Use your income from that ONE opportunity to REPEAT the process with ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY

Quit jumping from project to project....

To a point I absolutely agree with what is being said here. HOWEVER, Isolation is not always a good thing.

Lets start here... I personally regularly sign up for e-mails.. and yes i narrow down those that i follow. The reason? There are basically 2 types of e-mail sequences.. those that sell and those that deliver content. I WILL BET the 3 to 4 you have kept are delivering content / value.

I look for these ( those that deliver value vs selling ) This is what I practice, and would and do emulate emulate.. it is always good to have working examples to draw from, let alone an avenue to learn from.


Stay off of your personal account maybe.. depending how you might have your business activity segragated. But the fact is in todays environment, if you are not engaging on social media.. you are being left behind. It is the nature of business today and therre is really no getting around it. You want to build authority? you had better be on social, you want to develop a tribe? you had better be on social.

I personally do not sell info products. i am a real product and service kind of guy.. but every product i have and ever will sell, i have bought - affiliate sales included.

I also buy material pertaining to some of my clients endevours. I belong to Dirt Monkey U as an example to better understand the needs of my many blue collar clients.

IF I were to get into the business of selling info products.. i would be buying the crap out of contextually equal products to the one I was going to produce to ensure #1 maybe learning a thing or 2 and #2 knowing that i would be bring huge amounts of value vs the rest of the products on the market.

And here would be the seperation of what it is you are suggesting vs what i am suggesting there is CONSUMING time, and there is USING time. Another word that comes to mind is accountability.

Speaking of Accountability.. why do i come to the WF? I ENJOY sharing my experience... I enjoy helping others maybe get ahead.. I am a F I R M believer in giving and giving to get. And here.. i am not even looking to get, so no expectations of getting and just giving.. and yes I do get here, there are some pretty dedicated and smart AF members here I learn from all the time.

So to the point.. every action should have a reason. there should be accountability for your actions... If you are wasting time.. then to realize that is one thing, and to correct it is another. Each and every decision is a decision towards success. So dont stop doing things, just convert the reason for doing them.

I like the tip suggesting to unsubscribe from many lists.

Nowadays I only follow the people that I know create value in their emails and this has many benefits to it.

Totally agree with you. Checking out of emails and social media takes a lot of time. Everyone knows it, but only a few try to get rid of social media profiles.
Thats why I use SMM and email marketing. A lot of people spend a bulk of time on Instagram or Facebook, so I guess it's necessary to provide good content for social media marketing. I also send cold and warm emails with Snovio cause as you mentioned people usually spend about 20 minutes every day checking out their email box.
