How to Make Money Doing What You Love Learn advanced self-improvement techniques that will get you out of the job you hate and into making money by doing what you love.

By the time you finish reading this article, you will have learned the real secret why some people make crazy money online while others continue to struggle endlessly to barely scrape by.

At first you’re going to have the urge to skim through this article to try to locate the “secret” in a bullet point or some piece of highlighted text so that you can decide whether or not to bother reading the rest of the article. STOP and ask yourself this question - Can you really afford to miss out on what I’m about to share with you because you were too lazy to actually READ this article? It took almost a decade to get this little “secret” through my thick skull. Save yourself ten years by paying attention.

I’m not going to hide anything from you, I’m going to tell you exactly what the secret is and then I’m going to give you a link to a product which has completely changed the course of my life and brought hope to my online ventures. You don’t need to buy the product to know the secret as that I am going to share with you right now.

First, a little confession. In the offline world, I used to be horrible at sales and marketing. It’s not because I didn’t try to learn how to sell and market myself and my products/services; it’s just that sales doesn’t come naturally to me. I’m one of those “introverted“, “let me be totally honest with you” - type people and I never was very good at trying to sell something to total strangers. Somewhere along the way in my upbringing I developed the limiting belief that selling = boasting, or selling = lying, or selling = coercing.

Of course this is not true. Without sales people and sales processes, the whole world would come to a grinding halt. Logically, I understand this and I accept it. However, in the offline world I have a distinct disadvantage compared to other people who are naturally “extroverted” and have been taught and encouraged to express a “sales-like” personality from childhood.

This doesn’t mean I can’t be successful in the offline world. In fact, I have had a lot of success in the offline world running businesses by simply hiring naturally talented sales people to do my selling for me. This works, but to a limited degree. Yes you can hire sales people and marketing people to market your products and sell them in the marketplace, but they will never have the same passion for your idea or business product / service as you do. Without sales ability, you will always be at the mercy of your sales and marketing team, regardless what kind of product or service you’re selling.

If you’re running a huge, multi-million dollar company this may not be a huge disadvantage because you will most likely have a whole department of people devoted to marketing and selling your products and services, but what if your Inspired Money Maker dreams are based around a smaller business venture as an independent consultant, freelancer or small-business entrepreneur? Your inability to sell could be hurting your chances at success.

Here’s the great news: In a lot of ways, the online world is a great equalizer.

In the online world, “introverted non-sales types” and “extroverted super-sales types” can be equals. However, that is only IF the introverts learn how to properly embrace the concepts of successful online marketing techniques.

Let me be very clear here:

Introverts fail to make money online, because they fail to embrace and learn successful, proven online marketing techniques. They typically do this because much like the offline world, they don’t see the value in marketing. They delude themselves into thinking that “If you build it, they will come.” No, if you build it, but you don’t promote it, market it, and sell it, nobody will come except YOU to see your website sitting idle day after day.

and

Extroverts fail to make money online, because they fail to embrace and learn successful, proven online marketing techniques as well! They are so used to being able to sell anything to anyone in the offline world, that they typically can’t handle the fact that their time-tested ‘techniques’ from the offline world just simply aren’t working online. Taking a picture of yourself in that custom tailored Italian suit and posting it online isn’t going to make things any better either. Neither is the cologne you’re wearing or the shiny shoes. What matters offline doesn’t necessarily matter online.

Selling and Marketing Online - Two “Secret Powers”

Huge success in the online world is ruled by two “secret powers” anyone (Introvert or Extrovert) can develop:

1. The “secret power” of being able to drive targeted traffic to your websites; and
2. The “secret power” of being able to get your audience to take some form of action.

Yes you still need to build an online business of some sort, whether it be an affiliate marketing business or a blogging business or an online store of some sort or some form of online community or a membership site, or any one of the thousands of potentially successful online ideas out there. However, all of those ideas are fueled by the two “secret powers” I mentioned above.

You simply MUST learn how to drive targeted traffic to your sites and then be able to get that traffic to take some form of action depending on the type of website you have.

Those two skills should be something you are always working on improving, every day.

I don’t know how many Bloggers I’ve seen start up new Blogs and try to make any kind of money from them without realizing that they not only need to WRITE CONTENT for their Blog, but to also PROMOTE, MARKET and SELL their Blog content to the online audience. You MUST do this if you expect to ever get great results online in any venture.

How I Learned to Apply Proven Online Marketing Techniques

Once I got it through my thick skull that online success is just as dependent on sales and marketing as offline success, I began searching for a way to sell and market my websites. There are two major differences between the online world and the offline world that I observed here:

1. In the offline world, you can typically find sales/marketing people for your business at a fairly reasonable price. Also it is far easier and cheaper to hire someone who’s a “natural salesperson” than it is to try to teach someone how to be an effective sales person. That also includes yourself.
2. In the online world, a good sales/marketing “guru” who knows how to produce a solid sales/marketing campaign will probably require you to take a second mortgage on your house to pay the bill. That’s the bad news. The good news is that unlike the offline world, online sales / marketing techniques can be taught to anyone (Introvert or Extrovert) and for an investment that’s much cheaper than one months salary of an offline sales rep! This means that it is far more economical for you to become your own “sales and marketing guru” online!

Once I learned this “secret”, I immediately went looking for some of the best resources available online which teach you how to be an awesome sales / marketing “guru” yourself.

This is how I learned about the success of Dr. Joe Vitale and his ultra successful Hypnotic Marketing Process.

All the “extroverted super sales guy” types please plug your ears for a second. Or skip this paragraph or whatever. I want to talk to my “Introverted” brothers for a second. Listen fellow Introverts - Dr. Vitale’s Hypnotic Marketing Process is exactly what you need to learn in order to FINALLY be on equal ground with all the extroverts out there. Dr. Joe Vitale will teach you how to write Hypnotic Copy for your websites, your blogs, your sales pages, your eBooks, or whatever else you choose to do online.

For all the “extroverts” - if your offline approach isn’t working online, you might want to look at Hypnotic Marketing for answers.

What is Hypnotic Writing / Marketing?

Well, in a nutshell it is the process of being able to write copy, headlines, articles, sentences or whatever you need, which engage your readers and drive them to take action. Once you learn what it is and how it works you’re going to be amazed to see it all around you. You’re going to look at magazines at the grocery store totally differently. You’re going to look at tabloids totally differently. You’re going to look at successful websites and Blogs totally differently, and you’re finally going to understand how those UGLY DISGUSTING looking Sales Letter websites continue to make money hand-over-fist, while your super pretty website/Blog sits there collecting cyber-dust.

How To Learn Hypnotic Marketing

For some strange reason, in May 2006 I stumbled upon the Hypnotic Marketing eBook online and I bought it. I also bough the Hypnotic Marketing Library of CD’s which included a whole bunch of audio’s and bonuses related to Hypnotic Marketing. Unaware of the “secret power” behind the product, I skimmed through the first few pages of the eBook and put it aside for later study. I was buying a bunch of eBooks at that time doing massive research on Making Money Online. Also unaware of this at the time, I actually picked up one of the last few copies of the eBook from Dr. Joe Vitale before he pulled the eBook completely off the market after over 4 years of successful sales.

The eBook wouldn’t be offered again until May 11th, 2007 and then only for one week, selling over 5,233 copies. Then it went underground again.

Apparently people were desperately trying to get copies of this product and I had the whole CD library, unopened, sitting on my bookshelf collecting dust. This was when my thick skull hadn’t yet realized that in order to Make Money Online you had to know how to successfully market yourself. I was still in the naive stage of thinking that the only thing that matters is creating a valuable product and living in the dream land of “If you build it, they will come.” No wonder my first 4 Blogs made no money even after 18 months of Blogging.

In October 2007, when I launched InspiredMoneyMaker.com I also began to SLOWLY study the concepts taught in the Hypnotic Marketing eBook by Dr. Vitale. At first I really sucked at it and then slowly-but-surely I began to write better copy in my articles, my eBooks and emails, and I began to notice that people were beginning to respond much more to my writing.

I’m nowhere near perfect at it yet, and you don’t really need to be in order to start to see great results online, but without applying some of the Hypnotic Marketing processes taught by Dr. Vitale you probably would never have read this article and my website wouldn’t have had 1/10th the success it’s had so far.

When I got the email a week ago from Dr. Vitale about him re-releasing the Hypnotic Marketing eBook I was excited. I knew some of my readers would definitely be interested in improving their online sales / marketing skills so I ran out and bought a copy of this now updated second edition called “Hypnotic Marketing 2.0” so that I could review it and make sure it’s at least as good as the first edition. In the second edition, Dr. Vitale expands on his three step process by adding a fourth step related to social marketing. I’m not going to dive into that part of it as Dr. Vitale’s sales letter already does a great job of that.

However, I did want to let you know about this great product and how it helps to shed some light on the secret of why some people make crazy money online while others barely scrape by.

Let me be up-front about a few things with this eBook.

Firstly, the eBook with bonuses sells for $97, but there is a special offer for $27 until July 6th.

Secondly, if you do decide to purchase the eBook don’t try to implement everything at once. There is enough content in there to make your head spin. It’s better to just pick a few things and test them out instead of trying to do everything and overwhelm yourself. You only need to do a few minor things in there and you’ll start to see results. That’s what I did.

**NOTE: As part of the package of extras, bonuses and goodies, there is also a 1 Month Free trial of Dr. Vitale’s Hypnotic Gold Monthly Newsletter and Audio CD. As part of the process of purchasing the eBook you will get this 1 Month Trial but be aware that if you don’t want to receive further CD’s you will need to cancel your subscription. I know when Joel Comm did something similar with his Adsense Secrets 4 eBook some people who didn’t read the sales page got angry that the subscription was thrown in there.

I’m letting you know about it here right now so that you can’t say I didn’t tell you that there is a subscription attached to the intro price for the eBook. Personally I’m probably going to keep my subscription going after the initial trial as I found the previous CD’s to have some good value.

The eBook also comes with a 365-Day Guarantee so you can’t really go wrong with that.
