How to Profit on YouTube – New Training

One of the easiest, and most profitable way to provide value to your prospects, leads and customers is through YouTube videos.

The more value you provide, the more valuable you are, priming your audience to become eager buyers of your products and services.

Have you started creating YouTube videos? I confess, I’m under-using YouTube. That’s why I’ve signed up for this training.

Maybe you have a few videos, but you are frustrated because they aren’t generating the interest you had anticipated and you aren’t sure how you can create YouTube videos that will drive high quality traffic to your sign-ups, website, and sales pages.

If you would like to make yourself more valuable to your prospects and clients while getting unlimited, highly targeted traffic to your website, hen I know you’ll want to join in this new training offered by my friend and colleague, Becky Sangha (a.k.a. The Online Video Marketer).

How To Create YouTube Content Fast For More Traffic, Sign-ups And Sales

This is a workshop training course where you will learn everything you need to know to use YouTube videos to generate value, and increase traffic, and your profits. There is no selling in this workshop, it’s pure training. She’s even going to have me on the workshop live as one of her examples! I honestly have no idea what she is going to tell me, but I can’t wait to find out!

Because it is a workshop, Becky wants to ensure that each participant gets maximum value, and she’s limited the number of people who can register. So click on the link now before it fills up and she pulls the page down.

Becky’s just opened this up to the public, and it’s already generating quite a buzz, so don’t wait to sign-up, or you might be too late.

PS – I’ve worked closely with Becky for almost 3 years, and I am proud to be an affiliate for this training. If you decide to register, I’ll make a small commission.

My first few years in business, I pretty much flew by the seat of my pants. There was so much to master, so much to do, and so many balls to keep in the air that I couldn’t find the time to think ahead. I was too busy reacting. As you probably know, this is not the best way to run a business. It’s like trying get somewhere by running really fast without knowing if you are going in the right direction. Fortunately, I learned that I had to plan ahead to be successful.

First I took baby steps, and just planned a few weeks ahead. Now that I’ve gotten much better at it, I plan my full year out ahead of time. In case you are wondering, things never go exactly as planned so my plan changes a lot as the year progresses. Nor does having a plan lock me into anything. As a solopreneur, I can change my plan any time I want. The key thing is having a plan to start with.

What will having a plan do for you? You’ll be able to make much better decisions about what opportunities to say yes or no to. You’ll know if you have space or can make space for something new. You’ll be working proactively and moving forward, instead of fire-stomping and treading water. What you do during the year will be laid out in a logical sequence.

Do you see how having a plan can help you have your best year ever? The benefits may be obvious, but how are you supposed to find the time to do a plan for a whole year? It’s one of those things that’s important but not urgent so it tends to get pushed to the back burner and before you know it months have passed.

To make sure you get your plan done for 2015, I’m pleased to offer you my support in a VIP Half-Day Planning Session. Your VIP experience starts right away with a questionnaire that I’ll review before our session so we can jump right in. Your VP Half-Day will be a total of four and a half hours – 4 hours of work with 2 breaks of 15 minutes. I’ll give you my custom planning tool, and we can even work collaboratively on your plan during your session (i.e. both of us working on the same document from our separate computers) if you want. This is not a group experience – you and I will be the only ones present and we’ll get your 2015 mapped out so this isn’t hanging over your head any longer. We will meet virtually and you have several technology options to choose from for our meeting.

To make absolutely sure you that nothing gets in your way, I’m adding in a 15-minute follow up call in February. We can revise your plan or talk about anything that you need help on to keep moving forward.

To recap, your VIP Half-Day Planning Session includes:

Pre-work questionnaire
Your VIP half-day
My custom planning tool in a choice of formats
A 15-minute follow up call in February

I offered this first to my email subscribers and as of this posting, there are 8 spots left.
