Set The Bar (Even) Higher

by 5 Comments

When most people think about giving themselves goals, they give themselves the easiest goals imaginable. The goals may be, “writing 1 blog post every week that is only 100 words,” or something similar. While it is good that progress is being made, it is easily possible to make more progress. In order to make more progress, you need to set the bar higher.

When people think of setting the bar higher, they quickly think of reasons why the bar is already set as high as possible. There is no limit to how high any bar can be set. If a bar is set at 14.6 feet, know that it can also go to 15 feet. The bar can keep on going higher and higher.

As you set the bar higher and higher for yourself, you will be giving yourself challenging goals. However, when those goals get accomplished, you will see the results. You will be able to do something far better than ever before. You will be able to break records, be very productive, and ultimately be better off.

Setting the bar high requires work on your part. After that work gets done, you will have the prize: a new record, incredible productivity, a big increase in traffic, a lot of sales for your new product, or something else.

 

How To Make Money On Pinterest With PinBooster

by 8 Comments

The big problem with Pinterest is that pinners can’t make money with their affiliate links. Pinterest would be the ideal social network to use affiliate links because of the pictures, the ability to add the price to the corner, and the ability to write a long description about the product.

The reality is that affiliate links aren’t a way to make money on Pinterest. However, there is a way to make a lot of money on Pinterest. If you want to make money on Pinterest, then you need to take a look at PinBooster.

PinBooster is the Sponsored Tweets for Pinterest. Advertisers have offers, and by accepting those offers, you get paid. The advantage with PinBooster is that you get to choose which board the ad goes on. I have a Pinterest board called Advertisements which is where all of the ads go.

Another advantage of PinBooster is that the price per pin is greater than the price per tweet. Sponsored Tweets recommends that I charge over $25 with 24,000 followers. PinBooster recommends that I charge close to $10 based on my 3,303 Pinterest followers (I have over 4,000 followers, but the statistic isn’t updating on PinBooster). I decided to calculate how much I would be able to charge per pin if I had 24,000 Pinterest followers. With over 24,000 followers, PinBooster would recommend my price to be over $70 per pin.

The difference is how each of the social networks work. Twitter is a giant feed that is constantly getting updated. Tweets appear and then get pushed to the bottom of the timeline. Pinterest is more organized into boards which allows the advertisements to be seen by more people. As a result, the cost per pin is greater than the cost per tweet.

PinBooster is one of the best ways to make money on Pinterest. Once you start using PinBooster, all you have to do is wait for the offers to start rolling in.

 

UPDATE: Now PinBooster refers to themselves as Loop88. Here’s the link.

Be Unique In Your Niche By Doing What No One Else Does

by 6 Comments

In order to be unique, you need to do what no one else is doing. You have to be the only person who offers a specific product or service. Being the only person based on age and other variables also comes into effect. As long as people know you are the only one or “one of the very few,” you will get noticed.

The problem with being like the competition is that clients can easily go to someone else. By being unique, clients won’t be able to go to someone else without having a completely different experience. By offering your clients a good experience and being unique, they won’t stop buying your products.

What are the problems in your niche that aren’t being given enough attention? You can create a product or service that highlights that one thing that isn’t being given enough attention. By giving a problem attention, people will start to pay attention and realize that the problem exists. When they realize the problem exists, there’s only one solution–you.  If getting more conversations on social media was a problem that didn’t get enough attention, and you gave it attention, everyone would be scrambling to find a solution to that problem. By the time getting more conversations on social media became a well-known problem, find another problem that people don’t pay enough attention to.

This will allow you to be ahead of the competition and change the way that your niche works. Give yourself the driving wheel and steer your niche in any direction you desire.

There are a lot of things that individuals do that no one else would do. Some of these people will do those things for $5 on Fiverr. There are some strange gigs on Fiverr that show people being unique in different ways.

Do the one thing that no one else does. Once you do that, find another thing that no one else does and do that too.
