Great post, Malika! It is key to getting started. It's so new to us that we think we don't know enough or why would anyone listen to us. But if you're speaking from a genuine passion for what you're writing about, it shows through and others will be interested.

All the best,
Alan

Glad you agree Marc! I actually posted this as a note on Facebook first and it inspired many business owners to step up. Some have even emailed me privately with the steps they've taken since reading this post. Please feel free to share the link with those you know will bendit most.

You're welcome Damayanthi! Did you need to use this for your site to? At some point I think we all need to and it's a pain to have to do it yourself (can you say out source? LOL) but, when you are a business owner you've gotta do what you've gotta do!

I know EXACTLY how you feel unfortunately! LOLOL. I have done things that were "flukes" the first time by trail and error. Then when I need to do it again or show someone else how to do it I don't remember where to start. It's very frustrating. This is why I caved in a got screen capture software AND audio recorder to help me (and others) keep record of "How-to" do little things like this.

Glad I could help Sandy! Oh and Liz is posting a video in the group of a recorded she did with me on the same topic for those who are more 'visual' learners.

Thank you so much Malika. This is exactly what I have needed. When you walked me through it the first time I didn't write down the steps and then couldn't remember them.

Now I can refer to this any time I need it until it is locked in my mind.

I knew you were awesome!

@LizHindley, I guess its unanimous then: Start a business using what you know to attract people with the types of problems you can solve. In this case its been 20 years in the making.

I think the problem is that we discount what we already know and look for the "gurus" to guide us. Most are teaching you to go look at click bank to see what's selling really hot right now and then make ads in ezines or pay-per-click to sell it yourself.

There's little talk of creating full content sites on subjects you are already an authority in. I guess that's what we are here for ;).

Hey @AdviceMaven I see you didn't have a link back to your website with your about page that needs updating... Is it really that bad? LOL! If you look on your Google Analytics account you'll see whether your about me page is as highly read as I suspect it is.

Most site visitors always want to know if they can relate to the publisher of the content they are reading/watching. Especially if they want to hire you or work with you as a partner... Be sure to catch me on FB or twitter with a link to the new & improved page!

captainliz — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 04:22:51 -0000

LOL!!!!!! Are you friken kidding ME!!!!!!!!! Ohhhhh no offence to your friend but heck if i had 20 years experience in a field i would be pumping out masses and masses of content rich pages that google would swallow up for breakfast do a large burp and say "I LOVE YOU WHAT PLANET DID YOU COME FROM WITH 20YEARS OF KNOWLEDGE IN SOFTWARE AND COMPUTER KNOWLEDGE AND WHAT PART OF GOOGLE LOVEMAKING DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND!!!!!!" Ok i will jump right off my soapbox about now before i get accused of being a "smartarssed know-it-all self absorbed" person but I will NEVER EVER EVER put myself down EVER again...besides which I got to go buy an aircraft at the end of this year for christmas 2010 so I am putting my money where my big LOUD mouth is and putting it out there on the line.......unless I get to "skitterish" with planning all my other websites and not doing!!!!
BTW this is jut the humble opinion from one that has natural blonde hair,took my kit off for a living for nearly a decade of her adult life and became a commercial pilot all with an IQ of about 98 which is average!
Ok so there you go theres my 2 cents worth. :) I shall retreat into my corner now......

These are awesome tips. I seriously need to change my about page. I update my bio frequently, but my about page is so neglected.

You must be a part of the Cruise Control Cash Club! ;0). Sometimes having too many choices is a distraction and too many websites can cause the "skits"... Besides, everyone has to start somewhere with 1 then another which takes deciding. The problem here is deciding.

Liz,

Thank you for your kind words but... none of that came from me, It has been all YOU! Your vote of confidence means I've done my job right. Now tell me where I can find like 1000 more of YOU?

Re: 4 Ways To Trigger The “Buy” Response in Your Prospects

BizSavvyMom — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:54:40 -0000

Marc,

You make me remember my challenge with misspellings... I major authority killer.. when you mentioned "the small stuff". I really believe that what things are perceived to be by your audience is the truth of what it is. Only there opinion matters and we as marketers must learn how to influence it to the study of human behavior.

You study from the masters ;). Thanks for the comment.

P.S. Go post all that lengthy stuff or your own blog next time (slacker).

Re: 4 Ways To Trigger The “Buy” Response in Your Prospects

That Random Guy — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:40:57 -0000

Authority eliminates qualifying questions of your client, potential customer, prospect or whatever name you'd like to give to the curious human being across the table (or computer screen in our case).

I create quality graphics to headline every article I write in addition to having an 'authoritative' site design. By doing so, it immediately establishes a certain level of trust and respect.

Consider the tale of 2 websites (click at your own risk):
1. http://www.dokimos.org/ajff/ (I call this death to your pupils)
2. http://www.apple.com/ (oooh...shiny!)

Even if they don't verbalize it, your potential clients are thinking "If this person neglects the small stuff...how can I trust 'em with the big stuff?"

One case in point is right before your eyes. Even the choice of text you're reading on this site right now lends to its authority and credibility. This font is associated with news media (i.e. print newspaper) and registers at a subconscious level "look at me, I can be trusted".

Social Proof

When people find you, it's a magical discovery they made. When you find people (and try to talk to them), you're an interruption to whatever they were doing before you came along.

Desirable Offer

One way to make an offer believable as well is to "Move the free line" as Eben Pagan puts it. Give away your best content and people will immediately ask themselves...what else are they hiding in that $XX.xx box on their site?

Cheers to keeping it real

Re: 4 Ways To Trigger The “Buy” Response in Your Prospects

THE Captain liz — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:33:19 -0000

Malika,
Nice thought provoking article.Well written (as always).

"The reason I advice my clients to create online prospect attracting systems leveraging their passion AND expertise is because you have to be perceived as an authority figure in order to influence a buy now decision.

Think of the most sought after surgeons and doctors in the world. People travel from all around the world to have the chance to work with them. The same is true for experts in other fields as well. No one dares to negotiate price nor question your expertise.

Why? Because you don’t question the authority of a specialist especially if they can looking for you."

Absolutely i agree with this and a lot of people I think miss the point here where they feel and have been trained that they have to fake it till they make it which really does not cut it these days online and i myself when i became truely authentic and was being myself without the pretenses I actually started to make sales like I can't believe.
Instead of trying to be a guru wanna-be or a "social media" rockstar I truly believe if people do use there own REAL story or strong points they would find the internet a much more friendly place to be and that people will come to you and be knocking your door down.

Malika you are rocking it and your advise and guidance to me over the past month or is it more 6 weeks has been invaluable.My site http://www.thefreedomflyer.com would not be possible without your sponsoring and i am posting the interview today that i did with your wonderful self so that i hope people truely get behind the powerful message you have that will assist people to move from a place of loss and fear to one of power, inspiration and possibilities.
Thank you again awesome women. And keep that gorgeous smile and infectious warm personality shining through.

Captain liz
