How to Drive Massive and Highly Engaged Traffic to Your Website

This article was originally published on November 5, 2020.

Get READY to drive Massive high-quality traffic to your blog (or website) that gets your audience saying YES to your offers.

**Make sure you share this article and save it for later**

One of the fastest ways to drive high-quality traffic and increase your website’s SEO is by getting media interviews. The media is significantly more effective than paid ads and social media because it’s more credible and trust-worthy.

And it makes you look like a Big Shot in your industry.

One of the enormous benefits of getting media interviews is that Google rewards you (and your website) when you have backlinks from reputable sources. Like media outlets, well-known blogs, and podcasts. The more backlinks you have to your website, the higher Google ranks you in their search engine when prospective buyers are searching for your freebies and offers.

This can drive massive organic traffic to your website, build your email list, and make you better, richer, faster with your blog and business!

Here’s what usually happens when you land an interview on a podcast or radio show.

Your interview and website links get posted on the podcast host’s website. Then they promote you on all their social media channels and to their email list. And, if you use this strategy, you can link even more traffic back to your website.

For example, when you get booked on a podcast, make sure you have a relevant article and lead magnet ready. This way their listeners WANT to go to your website.

Email *Secrets* to Quickly Grow Your Email List

Getting media interviews is a great way to grow your email list. Once you capture your visitors’ emails you can turn them into paying customers.

*For more email and list building *secrets* and a Beginner’s Guide to making money with emails download your FREE guide here.*

This makes you look like a hero to the show host. Because you are providing interesting and engaging content for their audience.

Which is a win/win for everyone.

Your podcast interviews then become evergreen. This means that your interviews can drive traffic to your website for years to come.

You know how when you get hooked on a series on Netflix? Or when you get hooked on a new podcast, you end up binge-listening to the entire series.

It’s the same thing for your potential customers!

That’s how you can quickly grow your business – by driving high-quality traffic to your blog or website.

How to Choose a Niche for Your Money Making Blog

There’s never been a better time to start your own blog. Now it’s time to choose your niche.

So you’ve decided to start your own freedom lifestyle blog and now you need to decide what your money-making website is going to be about.

Firstly, congratulations on taking action!

I’m super excited to help you on your journey to building your own business.

So you’ve been hearing about bloggers making a killing online by starting a blog. Working remotely from anywhere in the world – with only a laptop and an internet connection.

If this seems too good to be true…

I am here to tell you –  it is possible! If you are serious about building an online business it will take time, effort, determination and most of all – you have to be willing to learn. 

But if you do all the right things, you can build your own dream business. An online business can bring you a steady stream of income for life.

Since starting my own blog I have taken many twists and turns. I’ve had minor setbacks and big wins! But everything in life is a learning experience & sometimes your path takes you in directions you didn’t expect.

That’s called life. 🙂

That’s why it’s so important for you to choose the *right* niche now and why I wrote this article.

So you will make the best decision!

Choosing Your Niche should be fun! One of the most important things about starting a blog is choosing your niche. The more you can narrow down your niche, the more you can distinguish yourself from other blogs. You will be spending a lot of time on your blog. Continuously adding valuable content and learning how to make money blogging.

You want your blog to be interesting and enjoyable for your followers. So they keep coming back, reading your blog, and most importantly buying from you.

Choosing a Profitable Niche

There’s a common misconception about blogging, that if there are too many blogs in a certain niche it’s “oversaturated. Don’t worry about that.

It means there is a demand for it. It will, however, be more difficult to distinguish yourself from the crowd unless you come up with your Unique Selling Proposition (USP). It’s best to narrow your niche down as much as possible. Using your voice and your own personality will help you build your own loyal following.

A loyal tribe that relates to you. Making it way easier to grow and begin monetizing your blog.

When selecting your niche, choose a subject that you are knowledgeable about. Or have a deep interest in learning. You will be spending a lot of time learning and writing about your topic.

So Make Blogging Fun!

Your niche can be a hobby like gardening or sewing. Or it can involve your profession, like real estate or accounting. If you’re struggling to decide on a niche, try thinking of something you wouldn’t mind learning for a full year. You’ll be doing research to create great content. Make sure it’s something you want to learn.

Try this…

Imagine that you were given an opportunity. You have been chosen to live on a desert island. For one year, you must devote your life to learning about ONE thing. Money isn’t an object.

This is about what you are truly interested in learning. What topic would you choose? 

Choosing a Unique Niche

If you choose a unique or uncommon niche, it will be easier for you to set yourself apart as the go-to expert in your field. As long as there is an audience or a demand for your products and/or services you will immediately set yourself up for success!

The first thing you should do is find the right audience, then study your market, and target them directly. I teach you all about this inside a FREE newsletter. You can download it below…

The most important thing is to enjoy what you are blogging about. Choosing a niche you are passionate about will help you create better content for your audience. You are also more likely to monetize your blog faster if you’re super excited about it.

If you have many interests and ideas like I do, begin by writing down the possibilities. Think longevity and happy blogging. Will your blog help solve a problem, entertain, or teach something of value?

If you choose something you know well, it will be considerably easier to get started. If you have several great ideas, start with one idea. Then once your blog is generating consistent income, you can always build another one.

Grow Your Business with Pinterest

Discover how to grow your business using Pinterest to drive new buying customers to your website fast.

Updated on November 9, 2020. This post may contain affiliate links. Which means I earn a small commission if you purchase through the links. You can read the full disclosure to learn more.

Pinterest is still one of the fastest-growing social media platforms.

Even in 2020! Read how you can easily use Pinterest to drive traffic to your website, build your email list, and grow your business.

Unlike other social media platforms, Pinterest is a search engine. Where people go to buy things, find useful information, and where business owners go to take action!

*Just a quick side note. I don’t usually write long blog posts. But I felt it was really important to share this with you. It took me a long time to figure out how to use Pinterest successfully. Now that I have found a winning formula I wanted to share it with you. To save you time and start using Pinterest the right way – fast. So you can drive consistent traffic with Pinterest to make money blogging and grow your business.

You can Pin it now in case you get interrupted. Then come right back to learn actionable steps that you can use right now to start getting traffic to your website. Don’t forget to download your FREE guide to make your Pinterest pins go viral.

The following information below can help you quickly grow your business using Pinterest.

Keep reading to see who is on Pinterest, what Pinterest is all about, and how you can grow your business using Pinterest.

Who’s on Pinterest?

According to Pinterest Business, there are over 442 million monthly active users worldwide. Pinterest is growing and has become a valuable business platform for bloggers and business owners.

Also, business owners and bloggers are on Pinterest all the time. So if your business targets other business owners (or happy shoppers with money to spend) it’s a great place to be.

Here are some compelling statistics according to Pinterest for Business:

• 81% of Pinterest users are women.
• The median age of Pinterest users is 40.
• Half of Pinterest users earn $50K or greater per year, with 10 percent of Pinteresting households making greater than $125K.
• 90% of weekly Pinners make purchase decisions on Pinterest

How Pinterest Works…

Pinterest is a form of social media that uses images to grab your attention and drive traffic to information, products, and services. The images are shared and saved to boards to keep and use for later.

As a business, you can have direct links to your website, a sales page or an email sign up form. Hosted either by your website or your email provider.

Pinterest is primarily a search engine. Not so much used for social engagement, but to find useful things to make your life easier. 

Here’s an example of exactly how it works. I’m going to use recipes as an example. If you want a specific recipe for dinner, you search for it. You find recipes you want to try, then you save them to your recipe board for later. When you want to make that recipe you go to your Pinterest account and look up the recipe you’ve saved.

You can now make it for dinner or look up the ingredients while you’re at the grocery store. Making it super helpful!

You can also delete the recipe from your board if you decide you didn’t like it. Then you can inform all your friends how awful the recipe was. Like this vegan buffalo wing cauliflower recipe, my daughter and I tried.

People love recommendations and honest feedback. Making your testimonials even stronger. Helping you close more sales!

That is basically how Pinterest works. Now let’s see how you can put Pinterest to work for you and your business.

How to Use Pinterest to Grow Your Business.

Now that we’ve established who’s on Pinterest and how it can help you grow your business, let’s talk about how you can use it to drive sales.  Pinterest is a great way to drive traffic to your website. Let’s face it, without traffic you can’t build your email list or increase sales. 

I use Pinterest primarily two ways to help my business. You can do the same to grow your business. I create business boards to share valuable content, resources, and information. I save and share pins I create, that link back to my website. Plus, I share Pins that link back to useful content created and shared by other Pinterest users, such as bloggers and other businesses.

I only share and save pins I think will help and interest my viewers. Or information I personally want to read or use. I often check to make sure the links are working and read the articles when I have time. To make sure they come from credible sources and offer value to my readers. You don’t want your Pins to have broken links or poor content.

You can use Pinterest to find valuable tips and tricks to help you build your business. Valuable resources that help you grow your Pinterest account, drive traffic to your website and tons of other business resources. Including how to use social media, website building, traffic, blogging, list building and making money online.

You can also use Pinterest for fun and shopping.

There is some controversy about having boards that aren’t related to your business. I personally think as long as your boards help or interest your followers that it’s okay to have them. Your viewers are actual people. They might share similar interests and want to know about travel, recipes and cleaning hacks too. Don’t you?

My suggestion is to test it to see what works best for you.

To see whether you want to keep your Pinterest account strictly a business platform or make it fun and interesting. Since my main Pinterest account was originally my personal account, I didn’t want to lose the pins I’d saved. Plus, my main Pinterest account right now is my name which is my main business website.

Most of what I know, I’ve learned from testing and implementing different strategies. I’m always continuing to test and learn what’s working.

This way I can teach you how to continuously use Pinterest as a driving force to grow a profitable business using Pinterest.

Once I discovered a winning formula that drives consistent traffic to my website I decided to create the Viral Pin Strategy.

The Viral Pin Strategy is an online video course. It teaches you how to drive traffic to your website quickly and consistently.

What I have found works best (for Pinterest and every social media platform) is testing and using consistency. You need to find what works best for your business. What works with your schedule and what things you can implement into your business strategy that you will follow through with.

Which is why I LOVE Pinterest so much.

Once you learn how it all works, you can automate most of it to put Pinterest to work for You!

Using consistency to grow your business is key to your success.

You need to stay consistent and not give up if you want to put Pinterest to work for you. To drive consistent traffic and grow your business.

Now let’s go over a few actionable steps you can start right now to successfully grow your business with Pinterest. The things I am about to share with you have and continue to work for me and can definitely work for you too.

The steps below are how I was able to increase my monthly views and drive traffic to my website. These are proven methods, you can start doing immediately, to grow your Pinterest views, get more Pinterest followers and drive traffic to your website.

How I Grew my Monthly Pinterest Views from 4k to 46k within only one week.

After implementing only a few of things, I quickly grew my Pinterest monthly views from 4k to 46k. This happened within about a week. As I continued to implement new strategies and *test* I grew my monthly views to over 240k within only a few months.

You can quickly grow your Pinterest views, increase followers and use Pinterest to drive traffic and sales. By implementing only a few of the strategies I am about to share with you.

This ONE THING alone can help you Grow Your Business.

There is *one thing* I have found that is the key to growing any business. Using any form of social media, including Pinterest, any blog, podcast or even a  YouTube Channel. To build trust with your audience and drive traffic to your website.

Here’s the thing. There are lots of ways to grow your blog and business. Whichever one you choose, you must be consistent. It is easy to panic when something isn’t working quickly. Blogging is not a get rich quick scheme and all businesses take time to build and grow.

This one thing that can increase your traffic is consistency. 

The thing I find that unquestionably works the best is using consistency with anything regarding to traffic, email list building and sales.

Every once in a while I get a little lax and I see a drop. Once I start pinning consistently and trying new strategies it quickly goes back up.

My blog traffic begins to increase, my email list grows and sales go up. Tailwind is a tool that can help you automate your pinning schedule to increase traffic, conversions and sales.

In addition to pinning consistently, I did a few more things that can help you grow your Pinterest views, followers and your cash flow. The first was to convert my personal Pinterest account into a Business Pinterest account.

It is very easy to switch your personal account to a business account. Simply go into the settings of your personal Pinterest account and you will see how easy it is to convert your account. I won’t go into details since Pinterest gives you super easy to follow instructions.

If you already have a business account then you are already well on your way to success! Maybe I was a little slow on the take. 🙂

Once I began using consistency I began to analyze my analytics and *test* my pins. That’s when everything changed!

Increase your monthly views and grow your followers on Pinterest by doing just a few simple and actionable things.

Another thing I discovered is that Pinterest likes fresh content, fresh pins and longer blog posts. Once they see people pinning and saving posts from your website, Pinterest will begin to push your pins out even further.

This way you reach more of your target audience and buying customers and make your pins go viral!

If you haven’t already you can save this article now, this way you can read it again later. Save it by clicking on any of the Pinterest pins. Then you can pin it to all of your relevant boards. To help your followers grow their business with Pinterest too.

Next, we will cover how and why claiming (or verifying) your website will help you grow your business on Pinterest.

How to Claim Your Website on Pinterest.

After turning your Pinterest account into a business account (or creating a business account) you can claim your website with Pinterest. This will allow you to now have access to your analytics. This is really important because it helps you track which pins are getting the most re-pins and shares. 

It also allows your Pinterest profile picture to appear next to your pins.

Claiming your website is important because it helps your audience and followers identify you. To recognize you and begin to trust you as a reputable source of information.

If you haven’t claimed your website yet I strongly suggest that you do it today. Below I share the link where you can easily claim your website. 

It shouldn’t take you too long to do. If you want to do it now and read this later, Pin this article to one of your boards and come back to it. Otherwise, keep reading and then do everything after you are done reading this. 

Another thing you can do, if you want to read a long blog post, but you don’t have time to read the whole thing in one sitting, is this:

First, save the pin to one of your boards, then go back to the article and open it in chrome on your computer or phone. Then you can bookmark the page. This way you can find it more quickly later.

Another reason this is so helpful is that it connects you to someone who is creating great content. To help you grow your business. Hopefully, you will find my articles useful and keep coming back. I’m not a fly by night blogger and won’t be going anywhere.

I am here to help you succeed which you will. As long as you don’t quit!

Before we move on, as promised, here is the direct link to the Pinterest help center where you can claim your website: Pinterest Help Center.

There are still a few important things I want to share with you, so let’s keep moving.

You should carefully assess your Pinterest profile. The about you section isn’t really “about you”. No one really cares what kind of dog you have or what you do in your spare time. They want to know how you can help them and why they should follow you and your boards.

Be clear about your “message,” what you do and how your business will help your followers. I have made this mistake and it can kill or halt your business. I would rather you learn from my mistakes than struggle through trying to figure things out by yourself.

Here’s an example of how to be clear with your message: A graphic designer might say something like “Stunning Graphic Designs to help you build brand awareness and grow your business.”  A cat sitter might say something like, “I treat your pets like they are my own. Affordable pet sitting to give you peace of mind while you’re away.”

Use descriptive words to show your audience how you can help them.

If you are not doing this already begin to pin regularly and be consistent. You don’t need to be on Pinterest all day long. In fact, you shouldn’t be. Use a scheduler like Tailwind. Especially if you know you have a busy day or week ahead. Do it ahead of time so you are constantly pinning.

I use Tailwind routinely but I also pin manually and think it’s important to do both. Pinterest likes when you are on Pinterest. Plus there is a ton of great information on Pinterest that can help you grow your business.

If you haven’t signed up for Tailwind yet, you can use my Referral link to get a $15 credit when opening a new account. Once you sign up we Both get a $15 credit.

Here’s my referral link to get started now: Get started with Tailwind.

When pinning other people’s pins, you want to make sure that the links are working and that the articles have good information. I have pinned blog posts and then began reading them to find the content wasn’t very good or I didn’t agree with the information. Whenever this happens I go back and delete the pin. Which is super easy.

How to delete pins on Pinterest.

You can either delete them on your computer by clicking the “edit” button. Then scroll to the bottom of the information and hit “delete.” You do the same thing on your mobile app. Once you are in the edit section scroll all the way down to the bottom. I can only see the “delete” button if I scroll down. Then hit delete.

I also delete all of my pins that are not converting well or going viral. Then you can create new pins that can drive more traffic. Don’t get discouraged. Remember you are not failing. It’s simply a failed “test.” Keep going until you find what’s working and then repeat.

Continue to check your boards to make sure you have helpful resources that serve your audience. Keeping your boards clean and filled with great content (relevant to your niche) will keep people coming back.

Having pins with bad links or misinformation can quickly lead to losing trust, credibility, and followers.

Clean up your boards and keep doing it at least once a week or monthly.

At one point my Pinterest boards were a complete mess. When I first started on Pinterest I didn’t know what I was doing. So I spent quite a bit of time on this. Now every few weeks I go back and delete pins and make sure the saved pins on my boards are relevant, helpful and have working links.

If you don’t have time to go through them all, you can make some of your boards secret. 

Then go back to them later, when you have more time. To make your boards secret go to edit the board then click on the secret button. A little lock will appear on your board to show you that no one else can see it.

Quick Tip to Save Time while Cleaning Up Your Pinterest Boards.

You can quickly go through larger boards (with a lot of pins) by creating a new board. Try making the title a little more descriptive. Save any pertinent pins from the old board to the new board. Then delete the old board. Doing this will save you a ton of time. It was quick and easy and felt refreshing.

Kind of like spring cleaning or cleaning out your closet.

If you haven’t done so already, add descriptions and hashtags to each board. Use descriptions on your Pinterest boards that maximize SEO keywords. Pinterest is a search engine. You want your boards and pins to show up in searches related to your boards and content

When choosing the titles for your boards, think about how the board benefits the reader. Don’t just say simple things like “cool graphics.” Instead, say something like “Graphics will inspire you to create great blog posts that will have your clients begging to work with you.”

For each board make sure that the first pin or “cover” picture is one of your own pins. 

To change the cover image of your board, click on the board then hit the edit icon. Go to where it says cover. Click next to it where it says “change.” Then you can scroll through the pictures by hitting the arrow to the right of the picture. Once you find the pin (image) you want to keep as your cover, click the save button in the lower right hand corner.

Drive Traffic to Your Website to Grow Your Business.

As a blogger or business owner, the whole purpose of using Pinterest and creating a Pinterest Business account is to increase sales. By driving traffic to your website and directing the right people to your offers.

Pinterest is a great way to drive the right traffic to your website. Your pins link directly to your blog posts, sales pages and products. Making it a fast and effective way to make sales.

By leading them exactly where you want them to go. To the “Buy Now” button. Or even better, by getting them to join your Email List so you can gain new customers for life.

Once I discovered a winning formula that has grown my email list and helped me grow my business I decided to share it with you. That’s why I created the Viral Pinterest Pin Strategy Video Series that shows you *exactly* how you can create Pinterest Pins that go Viral.

Could This Lead to the Best Year of Your Life?

This past week has been a whirlwind for me…

In the past couple of weeks, I have had some amazing opportunities come my way. And I realized that I haven’t shared with you the real *secret* to success in the online world.

You see, after struggling (when I first started my online bizness) I realized that the most important thing to succeeding, in a sea filled with online marketers, is making connections.  

It’s ALL about making connections. 

With people you can collaborate with, people who will tell all their friends about you, and people who want to work with you. 

A couple of weeks ago I was asked to write a chapter in a book collaborating with 22 other successful entrepreneurs. One of which is an 8 time TEDx Talk speaker and an international best selling author. 

This book that I am featured in, is Book 2 in an already best-selling book series. 

Then, last week, I was asked to be featured in a brand new digital publication that has an expected reach of 125,000 people. 

So how could I say no?

Which has left me a bit busy, to say the least. 

But that’s not all…

Jennelle, who you might already know I am co-writing The 8 Faces of Freedom with, asked me to confirm that I will be there in December for her first TEDx Talk where I might actually meet Tony Robbins!

So yeah, this might just be one of the best years of my life. 

Plus, this morning I reconnected with Shreya Banjeree. If you don’t know who Shreya is, she is a marketing specialist who works with big names like State Farm and Les Brown. 

She has over 12 years of experience in the aerospace and power industry as a process engineer and lean leader for multi-billion dollar corporations. 
She is Six Sigma certified as well as Google Ads certified and has many other qualifications. 

But the best part about my introducing You to Shreya is that she is also the creator of the Affiliate Blogging Ninja course that I happen to own the PLR rights to. 

This is the program that I went through that finally got me actually making money from my blog. 

I learned so much from the 39 videos that show you *exactly* how to build your own website from scratch, create stunning videos, market yourself and drive traffic to your offers, and much, much, more…

Today I decided to bundle all 39 videos with my Build Your Own Money Making Website course and package it up for $297. 

But today you can have it ALL for the low, low price of only $47. 

Because I want YOU to make this your *best* year ever. 

But there’s just one other thing you need to make your dreams a reality. You have to *believe* that you can do it. It’s not easy starting your own business.

But it is worth it.

And I believe that if you are reading this right now that you have what it takes.

So what do you think?

Could this lead to being your *best* year ever?

You’ll never know if you don’t try. And to MAKE SURE that you get started on the right track if you sign up today, not only will you get a HUGE savings on this special limited-time offer…

I am going to throw in a FREE strategy call with me personally. 
We will meet for an hour (via a live Zoom meeting or call – your choice) and we will clarify your message, your brand, your target market, and your mission.

People pay me $300 an hour for these strategy sessions. So you will be saving $550 when you sign up today.

Create Passive Income with Pinterest

Updated on September 13, 2019. Don’t forget to Pin this article to share with your Pinterest followers!

Imagine one-morning waking up, you stretch, then pick up your phone to check the weather. You open your Pinterest app when suddenly you realize, one of your pins has gone viral!

You’ve had 180 saves and 180 clicks. That’s 180 new visitors to your website. From only ONE of your pins. Finally, your Pinterest strategy is working! People are finally reading all the great content you’ve created and signed up for your email list! This means more people to buy your products so you can make more money.

Later that day, you get an email notification about a sale. Then another sale and another…

Your email list is finally growing faster than you could have imagined!

Make Your Pinterest Pins Go Viral.

Once I discovered a method to make Pinterest pins go viral, repeatedly, I knew I had a winning formula. I made this blog post short for a reason. I want you to take this information, implement it and start creating Pinterest Pins that go viral right away.

It took me months of reading, learning & testing to find a method that finally works. Even after taking a Pinterest course where I learned a lot.

That’s why I decided to start sharing my best Pinterest strategies with you. Things are constantly changing and with any marketing or social media, there is one thing you always need to do.

That is testing. The best way to test your pins and traffic is by analyzing your data. Using Pinterest analytics and installing the Yoast plugin were game-changers for me.

If you’re not using Yoast (or some type of data tacking) install it today!

Seriously. Yoast helps in so many ways. It does more than just help you track data. It shows how to make your blog posts SEO friendly (so people will find your blog posts using Google and other search engines).

It helps you analyze your blog posts and recommends including internal and external links. To increase your ranking in search engines.

It even gives you a readability analysis of your articles. Plus, it allows you to add keyword phrases and a meta description. So your perfect customer can easily find you through Pinterest and Google.

My 25 plus years in sales and marketing have taught me you can never stop testing and you always need to keep learning. To keep up with rapidly changing algorithms and marketing strategies.

To learn what is working now to increase your sales and income. So you can live the lifestyle you desire and deserve.

The best way to learn is to teach what you know. I never intended to begin blogging and teaching about Pinterest. But it wouldn’t be fair to keep everything I’ve learned to myself.

Especially, since it’s working.

You can easily create Pinterest Pins that go viral, drive traffic to your website and create passive income – even while you sleep.

Your guide to Pinterest for business (a perfect starter guide especially for complete beginners) “10 Things that can make Your Pinterest pins go Viral” is a complete guide. It will show you ten basic steps to make your Pinterest pins go viral. Even if you’ve NEVER used Pinterest before. Or for your business.

Below is a screenshot of one of my very first viral pins. It made me feel so happy. 🙂

The best part is I keep getting more and more pins that go viral. With more clicks and more saves without needing to use group boards. Even after seeing a considerable dip in my monthly views.

Seriously, after Pinterest went public my monthly views went from 240k to 50k. Yet, my email list still keeps growing and more importantly making sales. All the things I did (which I show you in the Viral Pinterest Pin Strategy) have created a steady stream of traffic and income for me and my business.

That means Pinterest is finally working on automation!

Imagine my excitement after trying different things for so long. The good news is that it shouldn’t take you nearly as long as it took me. With everything, you can learn today with this simple strategy.

Start today and you can begin creating Pins that go viral. Driving traffic to your website so you can make you money while you sleep.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Read how one of my favorite movies can help you live the lifestyle you desire and deserve.

One of my favorite movies is the movie, “When Harry Met Sally.” Especially the scene where she fakes a well “you know.”

But just like their relationship took time, patience and the right realization (as in what you really want out of life) it goes the same with building an online business.

It is not a get rich quick scheme. It takes time, patience, a LOT of learning and really knowing what you want out of life. 

Time, freedom, uncapped earning potential…

That can help you get anything and everything you want in life.

Another lesson is the urgency Sally created at the end of the movie. She was fed up with Harry and stopped playing his silly games. It was pretty much now or never. 

Just as he was about to lose her – he finally takes the leap! And they live happily ever after. We assume anyway since the movie ends with them talking about their wedding and the decadent coconut cake with chocolate sauce.

On the side.

One of the ways to make sales online (or via your email list) is to create urgency. You can’t fake urgency though (like she faked the orgasm) Well you quite easily can. But in the long run, you will lose trust with your email subscribers and they won’t buy from you. 

Admittedly, I have been “nice” in the past and extended sales deadlines. I didn’t fake it. I simply changed my mind. It still isn’t really a good idea though.

Which I have learned the hard way.

In reality, you aren’t helping people at all. If they don’t buy the products that will solve their problems.

This urgency I speak of is important because sometimes it takes that push and urgency to get someone off the fence. So they begin to actually use and apply something you are selling that can benefit them.

It seems strange I know. 

But it all is quite simple. Find a starving crowd (as in a market) who has a problem. Then create something that will solve their problem. Then sell it to them.

I have only been in the “online” space for a short time and I am still learning. However, my 25 plus years of actual face to face selling applies just the same.

It’s all about selling the benefits, building excitement and getting your perfect avatar (customer) to say “Yes! Yes! Yes!”

To get you off the fence. so you can begin living the lifestyle you desire and deserve I have put the “Build Your Own Money Making Website” program on sale. 

And I have created “real life” urgency. It is only on sale until midnight tonight. ET. 

After that, the price goes from this steal of a price (only $49) to $97. So it is a $50 savings. Almost…

Plus I threw in bonuses (another selling tactic) to sweeten the deal. C’mon you know you love it when the big shampoo bottle says “20% more FREE.” 

Who doesn’t love bonuses? 

I added the Pinterest Viral Pin Strategy so you can drive massive traffic to your website. I show you how to build a following fast. Even if you’ve never used Pinterest. It is the exact method I used to go from 4,000 monthly views to over 45,000 in only ONE WEEK.

I also threw in the 28-page newsletter that shows you exactly how to build your own thriving list of email subscribers who will buy from you (once you build their trust) for years to come.

To grab your savings now say “Yes! Yes!” Yes!” to the link below:

I am ready to jump off the fence and say “Yes!”

That’s it. Have an amazing Sunday.

How to Feel Happier

Something I read a while back , struck a chord in me…

“Happiness is a feeling.”

This is something I tell myself often. You see, the past year has been one of the worst years of my life.

Starting my own business and trying to start a blog has kept me trying to keep a smile on. Publicly, I mean. No one cares when things are bad. They don’t want to hear it.

And when things are good?

Greed, jealousy and envy can rear their ugly heads in ways I never thought possible. It doesn’t matter how hard you try to feel happier. It doesn’t change the ugliness in this world.

With that said, despite what challenges you are dealing with now. The good, the bad or the ugly. Happy times, stressful times or scary difficult times.

There are actionable things you can do right now to feel happier.

If I can still manage to feel happy enduring what I have been through this past year, there is no question you can too. Today I want to share some of the things I think can make anyone feel happier.

On good days or bad.

Things that you might need to force yourself to do. But that you *should* do if you need a pick me up. Happiness really does only exist within yourself.

Pink, red, orange and yellow are happy colors.

You can’t change the past. You can’t make bad people good. You can’t turn black into white. But there are shades of gray that you can add color to.

Add some color to your life by surrounding yourself with cheerful colors and friendly kind people. Stop and take time to do something you enjoy.

Play a silly game on your phone for a few minutes. Go for a walk or watch a funny YouTube video. Anything that will make you laugh.

Call a friend. Be careful with this one. Not everyone who pretends to be your friend is your friend. I hope you don’t learn this the hard way the way I have.

When you do, you don’t need to mention that you’re feeling bad. You don’t have to vent or share even. Simply say to your friend, “Tell me something good.”

You’ll be surprised how a happy or uplifting story can lift your spirits. Even if it’s just for a moment.

Exercise. Exercising Makes You Feel Happier.

It doesn’t matter what you do. Walk, run, jump rope. Do a set of angry pushups. You would be surprised how you can instantly feel happier just be getting your heart pumping.

Eating Makes You Feel Good

Sometimes when you’re feeling sad you forget to eat. Or nothing tastes good…

At least for me anyway.

Eat something and drink a glass of water. Opt for something healthy like fruit or a large healthy meal. Depending on when you ate last.

Also, do treat yourself. This is time for self care. Do anything that will make you feel better!

Eating chocolate is good!

Just don’t go to town on a whole pint of Death by Chocolate (my personal favorite). Eat a small amount of chocolate while you are preparing a healthy snack or meal.

Whatever bad sh*t is bringing you down, put a positive spin on it.

I have this bizarre gift of being able to find a positive in every single situation. I’m not kidding when I say this.

Even the most horrible things that have happened to me.

How to turn a negative situation into a positive one.

Here’s an example. When I was a kid about 9 years old, I was drowning in a pool of water.

(I’ll share the story of how it happened another time.)

This is about your happiness. Let’s get back on topic…

I was taking in water, drowning. On a beautiful sunny day. Surrounded by happy kids who were swimming, laughing and having fun.

Meanwhile, I was suffocating. I was taking in water and drowning in a chlorine filled (and who knows what else) public pool. After my short bout of panic (trying to grab peoples feet to get help) I suddenly gave in. I realized that this was the end. Oddly, I felt a moment of blissful peace.

Kind of like in the movies. You know, like when the white light suddenly appears out of the clouds.

Then suddenly, someone grabbed me. It was the girl who almost killed me. She lifted me up and carried me to the edge of the pool. Where I gagged and coughed trying to breathe again.

Which felt even worse than the drowning itself.

Not to mention the humiliation I felt in front of everyone. Especially, in front of the cute lifeguards.

Because the lifeguards are always cute, right?

The three positive and most important things that have come of this are: I started taking my daughters to swim class at a very young age. I will never regret the chilly mommy and me swim classes we went to.

They continued to take swim classes until I knew both my girls could swim well.

I too finally learned how to swim. I took adult swim classes as soon as I could afford them. I was in my twenties when I finally learned how to swim.

It just goes to show you, it’s never too late to learn something new.

The most important thing I learned which is also the most valuable positive thing. That I can spin out of this dire situation is that I am not afraid of dying.

Maybe it’s because I know the things I have accomplished in my life are enough. The people I have helped and the lives I have touched. Or maybe it was that moment of bliss I felt.

There was no fear.

So what lots of people consider the worst case scenario being death, I do not.

The worst case scenario for me is that I die unhappy. Nothing will stop me from trying to make as many people feel happier before that happens.

Making other people happy can make you feel happier.

That’s what makes me feel happy. When I help other people.

Whether it’s to help you lose weight or to try to find a happier career path… Or to write that book you’ve been thinking about. The one that’s eating you up inside.

It makes no difference to me. As long as I can help at least one person.

Some business experts would say that my website is “confusing” to visitors. The message isn’t always clear.

So here is what it is all about: How you can feel happier.

If you want to feel happier check out my list of products. It’s a mixed bag of stuff. I guess I’m still trying to figure out what makes me feel happier.

So kill me – I’m not afraid.

Contact me now if you need help growing your business through the Power of Writing. Or starting your own business…

Here’s what one happy client told me:

“I really love your way with words. You’re friggin talented Irene. I love how you write. It gave me chills.”
