In this episode of Easy Online Marketing, I’m going to give you some ideas to help you get into the mind of your ideal prospects, subscribers, and customers. After you apply what you learn from this podcast, more of your website visitors will be excited to become your subscribers and some of those subscribers will become your customers!   First, let’s define a few terms so we are all on the same page:   Prospect: A prospect is someone who has no idea who you are or what you can do for them. For example, someone who landed on your website for the very first time.   Subscriber: A subscriber is someone who has decided to trust you with their email address. Now you’re in a relationship where you can add value to their lives or businesses. You’ve been invited into their inbox with your content and offers.   Customer: A customer has bought your products or services and received value from them.   Here are a few ways of asking:   1.

An interesting statistic I heard somewhere recently is that 90% of all first time business owners fail. 90% of all second time business owners succeed. But 80% of business owners never even try a second time. They got so discouraged from getting the first “no” to even try again. Remember that on the way to hearing a yes, you most definitely will hear “no’s”. The more you take consistent action, the more “no’s” you will hear. Don’t let it discourage or stop you from moving forward anyway. Don’t let the “no’s” put out your fire.     Here are 4 ways to keep going when you’re weary of hearing “no”:   1. How Many No's Are You Away From What You Really Want? 2. Don’t take it personally. 3. Have fun with it. 4. Listen to positive, uplifting messages that give you courage. 5. Surround yourself and listen to people who encourage your dreams.     Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm. – Winston Churchill
