Take The Leap and Reach Your Goals!

How long have you been working online? Or how long have you been researching & learning, and desperately wanting your own successful online business?

Maybe you've already started an online business, but you're struggling to reach your financial goals. Whatever the case, something is holding you back from reaching your true profit potential.

Maybe you started out with a great idea but got confused or lost along the way.

That happens to a lot of people. Most people actually. Trying to learn Internet Marketing is a rabbit hole you can get sucked into that leaves you spinning your wheels without ever really getting anywhere at all. It's time to hop off that hamster wheel and MAKE things happen!

Think about it for a moment. How much time have you invested in the idea of starting your own business so far? How much money have you invested?

Are you where you want to be?

How much closer are you, really, to your ultimate goal?

I want to share a secret with you...

There is no secret.

Most people try to learn everything upfront so they can make smart decisions, or be totally prepared. And I definitely see the logic in that line of thinking. However, we're talking about the constantly evolving web here. The most consistent thing about the internet, and technology in general, is change.

What that means is that you can never learn everything you need to know about running an online business upfront. By the time you learn everything you think you need to know, things have changed - and you're back at square one.

Frustrating, isn't it?

The people I know that have been successful online jumped in headfirst and figured things out as they went. That has been my own method as well, including my very first business almost 17 years ago - where I had no experience, no back up plan, and no idea going in if it would even work at all. But I was determined, figured things out as I went, and that business did six figures it's first full year.

That could be YOUR story this year.

Make a commitment, today, to stop learning (only) and start doing.

NOW is the time to put your plan into action. NOW is the time to stop focusing on what everyone else is doing, and how they're doing it, and to focus instead on what you most want to accomplish in your life - and to get started doing it!

There are no rules.

There are no failures.

There's nothing "real" to be afraid of or worried about. Except NOT achieving the success you truly want, and that you know deep down you are fully capable of.

Keep in mind that we're in a first generation trend with online business. We can make up the rules as we go. We can figure things out along the way. We can test various things and find out what works and what doesn't. We can get creative, and innovative even, and we have the whole world and endless resources at our fingertips to make cool things happen. There are no standards, no rules, no guidelines.

The only real failure, or risk even, is doing nothing - or stalling yourself - and dealing with the regret of knowing you could have totally changed your life.

It's time to take that leap and finally put your plan into action, MAKE things happen, and get serious about starting a fun and successful online business - or taking yours to the next level. Imagine how awesome that would make you feel!

Imagine looking back a year from now, having reached your goals, and saying, "man, I should have done that sooner!"

In February 2014 I will celebrate 17 full years in business. I've screwed up along the way. I've made plenty of mistakes. I've pissed off a few people (oops!). There were things I could have done better. There are STILL things I could be doing better...

But I wouldn't change a thing.

I have a lifestyle most people would LOVE to have. And I am forever grateful that I took that leap, fear and all, and created the life I knew I really wanted.

It's your turn!

Best,

p.s. I would love to help you reach your goals! Join my Private Brainstorming Group today and let's get started working together on your business. You can expect very practical hands-on help, plus a powerful mastermind group and active community of action-takers to help you every step of the way.

Until Tuesday January 7th you can still join for only $37/month. After that, your only option will be $360/year (or $198 for 6 months). You'll also get access to my brand new step-by-step "start to profit" Niche Success Blueprint course when you become a member - as well as my in-depth Social Marketing Results course.

The time is now. The price is right. There's no risk. And you'll have expert help every step of the way. Ask yourself this: Why would I NOT give it a try, at least for one month, and finally start seeing results? - I can't think of a good reason. Can you?

Niche Success Blueprint: Start to Profit!

By popular demand, this year I am going to teach you the step-by-step process for starting and running a successful niche business online - like I do.

I have often said that a step-by-step blueprint for creating a profitable online business was practically impossible to find (or create) because of the constant changes and evolution of the web...

That said, it is the TOP request that I get for a course so I finally decided to offer it. And I've come up with a method to create and deliver it that will be both timely and relevant, and that will walk you through the "detailed how-to" to finally have a money-making online business in 2014.

"Niche Marketing" is more than just Affiliate Marketing. In fact, I have really been branching out in my own niches, in terms of income sources among other things.

Things have changed dramatically over the years when it comes to Niche Marketing. Everything you may have learned about research, competitive analysis, and even niche selection has... changed! I can show you why, and how these changes will give you a huge advantage in 2014 and going forward.

Most of the "online business" training out there is totally outdated in my opinion, and in my personal experience. My new course titled "Niche Success Blueprint" teaches what you should do NOW, why, and exactly HOW to do it. Step by step.

Is This Course For You?

Niche Success Blueprint is a "start to profit" course, teaching you how to get started making money online from step one. It's great for beginners who are looking for a solid starting point without outdated material and hype.

But it's also ideal for anyone who has been studying or even working at starting an online business - but hasn't figured it out yet, or isn't in profit.

You will be learning from me directly, on a weekly basis, and working through every step of setting up YOUR business and getting it into profit as fast as possible.

What To Expect:

Every Friday you will receive a PDF training document detailing what you should do next in your online business, why you should do it, and exactly how to do it.

The first module in the NSB course will be delivered immediately after you sign up, with each module delivered every Friday after that. This course will run through the entire year of 2014, keeping you on track and moving forward toward maximum profit potential in your niche.

Exception: The first training module will be available on Friday January 3rd, so if you take advantage of the New Year Special you'll be receiving your first training & assignment on that day.

How Much Will It Cost?

There are 52 training modules in this course, delivered weekly each Friday throughout the 2014 year. The price? A total no-brainer! Once the sales page goes live and public promotion begins, the cost will be $37/month or $199/year (which comes out to less than $17/mo).

Until then, which means now through January 7th 2014, you can sign up today for only $17/month, instead of $37 - which will save you $240 over the course of the year!

You'll receive your first training module on Friday, January 3rd.

This is going to be FUN, easy, it'll be a highly detailed blueprint, very step-by-step, super easy to follow and implement, and of course it's insanely affordable.

If you're ready to FINALLY have a profitable, fun, successful online business then you'll want to sign up today!

But Wait! Before You Order...

Before you make a smart decision and click the order button to join now for only $17 a month, there are two things to consider. First, this new course is FREE for Elite Members of my Private Brainstorming Group. You can currently join the group for only $37/month (until Tuesday, January 7th 2014). So for an additional $20/month you'll receive hands-on help with your business in my private members-only forum plus two live group Brainstorming Hour sessions every week.

Also, for those of you that don't like recurring payments AND want to deduct this course as a 2013 expense, you can prepay for the entire 2014 (52 week, step by step) course for a one-time payment of only $147 - which comes to just $12.25/month, saving you $57.

Choose the option that suits you best:

Join for $17/month Join for only $147

If you have any questions, leave a comment below.

I look forward to teaching this course, and helping you start a successful online business and/or take your site to maximum profit potential!

Best,

p.s. At the end of day on Tuesday, January 7th 2014 the price for this course will be $37/month or $199/year. Save big by ordering today while I'm still in the process of getting the site and delivery process set up!

Time Sensitive Announcements + Free Gift

I have quite a few fun "announcements" to share with you and I'm going to give you a very valuable free gift just for reading this post, too.

I'll also explain the "why" behind my decisions (plus some tips!) which will make for options & marketing angles to consider in your own business.

As part of the ClickNewz community, I welcome your thoughts & feedback. I look forward to the discussion on this post!

I've mentioned several things in several places around the web, but I haven't really made any official announcements or shared specific dates for things you can expect as we kick off the New Year together. I'm really looking forward to my plans for 2014, and particularly excited about how they will benefit you...

My 2014 Goal is to help more people see more results.

As the 2013 year has been coming to a close, I've been offering Private Brainstorming Hour sessions for only $99. The public price is $199, but that rate will be going up on Thursday January 2nd, 2014 to $299.

These one hour sessions are incredibly valuable, and this is the first time in almost 17 years in business that I've offered individual coaching or consulting.

In the sessions I've had so far we've worked out detailed marketing and monetization plans, and come up with creative angles for increasing their reach and improving their revenue. They've been a lot of fun and very productive!

I tend to over-deliver, so the one hour sessions generally go 90 minutes instead. Until January 2nd 2014 you can still secure your Private Brainstorming Hour session with me for only $99:

Order your Private Brainstorming Hour

You'll have up to six months to schedule your session, so you'll want to take advantage of the discounted rate even if you're not quite ready for personal consulting for your online business.

Simply use the discounted payment button above, then get in touch with me using the contact form on this page to schedule your session.

* I mentioned that I have never offered private one-on-one consulting or coaching in the past. So why now? Two reasons. It goes toward my goal of helping more people see more results. And in addition to being a (small) source of revenue, it improves my relationship and retention rate with those people I do work with.

That's a BIG tip I mentioned in my recent free training session: helping your market achieve results can grow your business dramatically!

Changes to my Private Mastermind/Brainstorming Group

For the last 10+ years I have been quietly running a private mastermind and brainstorming group of serious action takers. The group ranges from total beginners to experienced six-figure business owners. You can read more about the group here and here (including the comments on both posts).

You can currently join us and get hands-on help with your business for only $37/month. But that option will be going away soon. I haven't decided yet if I'll also remove the monthly membership option on Thursday, January 2nd - or if I'll extend it another week or so - but I'll keep you posted on the exact close date.

Once I remove the monthly option, you'll only be able to join the group with an annual ($360) or biannual ($198) membership. If you join now you can keep your monthly rate for the lifetime of your membership, no matter how much the rates go up publicly.

Click Here to Join

* There are two main reasons I am removing the option to join on a month-by-month basis. First, because I only want serious action takers in the group that are ready to invest in themselves and make serious progress with their business over the next 6-12 months.

And second, because members get entirely too much value when they join - including instant access to my $97 Social Marketing Results training course. I don't want to attract discount seekers or people who just want to dip their toe in the water, as the quality and caliber of my group is a high priority for me. We have an awesome community!

Social Marketing Results Price Increase

The Social Marketing Results training program is currently discounted at only $77. I'll be raising the price to $97 in the New Year. Although I'm tempted to raise it to $147 due to the value of the content, the ongoing training & support, and the results members are seeing.

You can also earn 50% Instant Commission, which is paid instantly via PayPal, for recommending this in-depth Social Media training program. You can request your referral link here: https://www.jvzoo.com/affiliates/info/62377 (If you don't already have a JVzoo account, you'll simply need to create one first.)

Launch Date for "Fast Content Marketing" Live Training Program

As I mentioned in my recent Free Content Marketing Training Session, I am releasing a brand new Live Training Program on "Smart Content Marketing" that will teach you how to increase your reach dramatically through fast, easy content marketing strategies.

The live sessions will be held live on Tuesdays at Noon Eastern, running for a minimum of six weeks. All sessions will be recorded and available immediately if you prefer to learn at your own pace, and will include checklists and worksheets and downloads similar to the Social Marketing Results program.

The first session will be on Tuesday, January 21st 2014. Stay tuned for details, pricing, and a special offer to join early at a discount.

This is incredibly important right now with Facebook filtering out Page Updates heavily, causing most business owners to see dramatic decreases in activity and engagement on Facebook. Follow this checklist to get back on track quickly.

Year-End Coffee Break With Lynn :-)

As we close out 2013 and get ready for a fresh fun New Year, I would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU for being part of the ClickNewz community!

I truly enjoy my work, but without people -without YOU- it would all be pointless.

I've had the opportunity to meet (and get to know!) so many great people online via email, my blog & forum, Facebook, and other places around the web.

Some I've even had a chance to work with more personally, which I really enjoy. I've been doing quite a bit of year-end one-on-one brainstorming with my $99 special. That's been a lot of fun!

Speaking of, I've also been busy with year-end reflecting & brainstorming in my own business, which I imagine you've been doing on your end as well...

The end of the year always feels a bit overwhelming and "rushed" to me. It doesn't help that the last month or so of the year is jam-packed with holidays and social obligations, on top of New Year planning- lol. I'm sure you can relate.

Just like you, I always have more ideas than time, and the same 24 hours to work with in a day. This means we have to get serious about determining our highest priorities. It also means we have to be very disciplined with our time, focusing on those things that consistently take us closer to our true goals.

This morning I sat down and spent a couple of hours organizing all of my notes and tasks in Evernote. This is where I do all of my brainstorming, keep all of my running task lists, and even where I brainstorm and create products. It's the perfect all-in-one solution as it's synced across every computer and device you own, making it easy to manage and access - and of course it's always "backed up".

My highest priority right now is laying out my timelines and getting a structured schedule in place for the New Year. I have big plans for 2014 and a lot of FUN projects in the works! In my next post I'll share some of the details with you, including two new products I'm releasing in January that I think you'll be as excited about as I am.

2013 was an interesting year for me. It was a mix of hard times, fun times and big changes. I had major surgery, turned 40, got up on a water ski again, made some positive changes to my friend circle and peer network, launched a fun product that was a big hit, taught my favorite topic live at the Braintrust event in Vegas, and initiated some subtle but powerful shifts in my business.

As the year comes to an end, I find myself feeling particularly happy as I reflect back over it all. It makes me smile. I pulled through some pretty tough times, and also made a lot of fun new memories over the last year!

I would love to hear from you. What are your business goals for the New Year? I'd specifically like to hear what you do, what you'd love to learn more about or what you need the most help with - as well what you'd most like to achieve online in 2014.

I may not be able to reply to every comment, but I AM going to read each and every one. And for those of you that emailed in your replies over the last couple of weeks, I am still making my way through those. Thank you!!

Personally, I'm really excited about the year ahead. I'm planning to start two new podcasts, create more fun how-to videos on YouTube, release new hands-on training programs, offer tons more free content & informative webinars, etc. All of which will benefit you, of course. The more comments this post sees, the more I can tailor my topics and free content to bring you what you want and need most...

Best,

p.s. Take a moment to leave a comment below and share what you're working on, and what you'd love to see more of or learn more about here at ClickNewz!

Free Google+ Guide by Guy Kawasaki

I really enjoyed What The Plus! by Guy Kawasaki. It was one of four new books I ordered from Amazon recently. I discovered though that you can get a free PDF copy online at this link.

I actually love "real books" but one of the perks to this PDF version is that it includes clickable links - very handy! And of course you can put the PDF file on your iPad or your favorite reader/tablet.

From the beginning it was very obvious that the author is an all-out Google+ enthusiast:

"My goals are to help you to derive as much joy and value from Google+ as I do and that we can make Google+ tip." -Guy Kawasaki

He has excellent writing style though, so it made for a very good read. Highly recommended. What I really like about this book is the practical application, and the fact that it is heavily illustrated along with the detailed tips he shares.

If you're not yet using Google+, or using it actively as part of your online business, now is definitely the time to get started.

We discussed this in great detail inside my Social Marketing Results group as an in-depth two hour Bonus Training Session...

The interesting thing about Google+ is that it's not just another social network.

It's actually part of the overall "Google Product" and Google experience. Gmail, Google+, Google Authorship and Plus One all work together for amazing benefits - both for users and marketers alike.

We don't just have personalized search results now, but also personalized social results. As just one example, earlier this week (December 2013) I posted a "word of the day" on Google+ which was "cathexis" with a definition and image. If you're connected with me on Google+, or even if we have a mutual connection (extended social circle), my post may show up in the top 10 results for you when you search "cathexis" on Google.

Imagine the implications of that for a moment...

If that doesn't inspire cathexis for Google+, you aren't thinking hard enough.

Using Gmail makes it super easy to make new Google+ connections, as Google+ is integrated into Gmail, allowing you to easily connect with people you are communicating with via email - or merchants/brands you receive emails from and may want to connect with socially.

If you listened in to my FREE Fast Content Marketing Webinar recently, you may recall that I shared a particularly useful Google+ tip in that training session.

I've been saying for years that Social Media Rank will be bigger than PageRank ever was. "Toolbar Pagerank" was never actual PageRank, nor was it ever a particularly useful tool or metric. Social Rank on the other hand, rewards influencers and serious marketers. It's hard to manipulate engagement.

This gives you a HUGE advantage over those who are trying to game the system for a buck, while you're running a real business that serves a real market.

Read "What The Plus!" via PDF or paperback (links above). And make it a point to get super active on Google+, starting now. The more strategic you are with it, the better results you'll see (and the faster you'll see results!). But at the very least, make it part of your overall networking and social strategy... starting today.

Best,

p.s. My Social Marketing Results program is still discounted, but the price is going up in the next couple of weeks. I haven't set an exact date for that yet. Join us today if you'd like detailed in-depth training for improving your Social Rank and getting a serious boost in traffic & sales!

Lynette Chandler puts out the Blog Energizer Blogging Planner every year, and she just released the 2014 version this week. I downloaded my copy and emailed the PDF file over to my local printer to have them put it in a 3-ring binder for me (just because it's cheap & easy and I didn't feel like fussing with it, lol).

She has also created an awesome iPhone/Android app too, which I finally took a minute to check out this morning. Very cool! It even includes a Timer to help you improve your blogging speed - as well as a Marketing Content Calendar and daily blogging ideas, which you can see from my screenshots:

The mobile app is free too, and you'll get the link when you download the Free Blog Planner at this link.

Put it into Evernote, print it out and put it in a binder, or whatever suits you. This is a great resource to help you come up with creative blogging & content marketing ideas all year long.

Enjoy!
