That One "Elusive Secret" That They Do Not Want You to Know... REVEALED

13 replies
I have been fortunate enough to discover the so-called "secret for success". However, I'm sure you realize that most people selling you stuff do not want you to know that elusive secret.

Why? Well, if you figure out the real secret they no longer have "secrets" to sell you. So in today's post I just wanted to fill you in on exactly what the secret is.

The secret is… There is no real secret.

What it takes to be successful is pretty much common knowledge Once this knowledge is acquired all it takes is the basic fundamentals of life that have existed all along.

It takes hard work.

It takes dedication.

It takes persistence.

Most importantly it takes the right attitude.

There are many proven techniques and strategies out there to get from zero to profit. However, what all information marketers rely on is the fact that you are always looking for an easier faster way to accomplish it.

So, this elusive secret becomes a seller's best friend. I have something that you don't know and it makes your life easier, so you obviously want it.

The reason most of us fail online is because we jumped from shiny object a shiny object never really implementing anything we have learned.

We want instant profits and we want them right now. If it is not achieved in a decent timeframe, for most people that's within 24 hours, it doesn't work and it is on to the next secret.

So what happens is you are consistently stuck spinning your wheels trying to move forward while consistently in reverse.

Now, as I said before that elusive secret is common knowledge. I will give you a real world example that will prove just that.

The secret to success for online marketers is simple…

Traffic and conversions.

Without traffic and conversions you have nothing. I'm willing to bet a pretty large sum of money that most of you realize this. You know that you need traffic and you know that you need to convert that traffic into sales.

However, instead of working on driving traffic and converting that traffic into sales you chase the newest shiny object trying to make life easier and better.

So, if you take that knowledge and apply the first piece of common knowledge I already gave you... you have a recipe for success.

You work hard on your traffic and conversions.

You become dedicated to nothing but traffic and conversions.

You have the persistence and realize your success depends on driving traffic to your site and converting them into customers.

You develop an attitude of "drive traffic and convert that traffic into customers"

I guarantee you if you apply this to your business you will be successful. Stop trying to find the next best thing and simply work on what works.

PS - I use the "Secret" trick to sell and their is no problem using it. However, you ultimately need to stop hunting secrets and start working on the fundamentals.

    The aim of marketing is to make selling superfluous. The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well that the product or service fits him and sells itself.....

      That is one of those common knowledge "secrets" in effect. Fancy headlines and titles work ;-) A simple fundamental that works. Not a real secret at all

  • targeted traffic * front-end conversions * back-end monetization

    That's the formula I've been preaching for years as the formula to IM success, yet so few IM newbies seem to be willing to accept it. Oh well...

      If you read the last sentence, I make no qualms about the fact I use it to sell, and I believe it is OK to use it in your marketing. Also, You will discover that the secret is no secret at all. Simply common knowledge and I make note of that in the free training.

        Nothing wrong in it. I did hit a thanks in your first post.

        We need to give what people want. Else they will not consume the information.

        It is like putting the pill inside the meat when feeding the dog. The dog won't eat the pill, you have to package it such a way that it WANTS it.

        People want *secrets*. So we sell it

    I thought "the secret" was the law of attraction..... Official Web Site of The Secret



    Day dream about something long enough and it will come your way.

    (edit: believe it or not this actually works to some extent, as long as you take action instead of just wishful thinking)

    Great post. Jumping from shiny object to shiny object is not the secret to achieving true success online. It's about working on the fundamentals and having perseverance to stick to one proven method
