Wonderful Web Women

Today I had the pleasure of Interviewing Beth Davis, The Hand Analyst. Beth has a unique approach to getting clarity on your life purpose and also your business and marketing message. I’d like to share just a few of the incredible skills she shared with us today on getting clarity in your business and then also how to get clarity on your customers’ needs.

Clarity On Your Needs And Your Life Purpose

Beth discovered Hand Analysis when she had tried without success many techniques to get clarity on her passions and life purpose. The changes in her life were so dramatic she devoted herself to learning and mastering the techniques until the results were reliable and predictable. She now teaches others to do the same. You can see her offer here (the price increases $150 very soon). She has also included an unadvertised course on understanding your relationship with  money.

Beth’s advice on clarity for yourself:

1. Get a hand analysis. It doesn’t have to be from her, just get one! (Beth has made a limited time offer of $495 for her intensive hand analysis and phone consultation. She normally charges $1495 and has between 50 and 80 hand prints on the way to her from around the world at one time. This offer is only valid to 12MN Central time USA on Friday. Just send an email mentioning us).

2. Passion. This is essential for success. Beth’s specialty is helping you discover your passion.

3. Day Dream. Give yourself permission to day dream. This is essential to visualising your goals

4. Be patient. Many people give up on their dreams before they eventuate. Keep faith in your dreams

5. Think big. Most people shrink their dreams to fit their income. It must be the other way around!

6. Ask yourself and the universe “What will I do in exchange for money to achieve my dreams and live my purpose?”

Clarity On Your Customer’s Needs

It is essential you are clear on your own purpose before you grow your business. Don’t assume you know what your customers want and are willing to pay. Here is a fool proof way to get clarity on your client’s needs. Beth does this every 3 months.

Ask.

I know, it sounds obvious but what do you ask them?

It is important to not be too limiting in your questions as you will lose the gems. Here are Beth’s suggested questions:

1. What is your greatest pain you would do anything to solve? (You can clarify this, such as what is your greatest problem with your niche, such as finances, pets etc)
2. How would your life be different if you solved this problem?

How do you ask them?

1. If you only have a few people, send an email or just ask them in person

2. If you have more than a handful, use a service such as Survey Monkey. (I’ve used this. It is great and free for less than 100 responses. I also use Ask. You can get a $1 trial here and see the step by step videos in the gold members area on how to use it)

The information you get simply by asking these specific questions is incredibly powerful and will be the basis for your business. If you solve people’s pain, you have guaranteed success.

Tip Of The Iceberg

This is just a small fraction of what Beth covered. The info Beth shared on how to convert prospects to high paying clients and how to use internet marketing to build your business was very specific and powerful. Make sure you log in and listen to her interview.

Here is Beth’s offer again.

Today I interviewd Beth Davis “The Hand Analyst”. I must admit, before I interviewed Beth I was a bit of a cynic. The idea of combining hand analysis with business growth seemed a bit far fetched but I was fascinated by Beth’s story and really wanted to learn about her unique approach.

Wow, what an interview! Beth recently won the Glazer - Kennedy Information Marketer Of The Year and I can see why. Beth not only shared with us her very personal journey and the changes to her life after she discovered the science behind hand analysis. She also shared incredibly clear and sophisticated marketing advice that has resulted in her wonderful success as a business coach.

Here are just a few of the comments that listeners sent through the webcast page:

Charly- WoW!!!! This is GOLD. Amazing stuff. How to create Rarity.

Dawn-Ambler, Pennsylvania This is totally amazing. Thank you so much this has totally helped me in so many ways with my business.

Trezr-Australia XCELENT CALL _ please get her back. Her energy is brilliant. TKU Janet and Beth

Beth -Japser, GA Wow she had a ton to say! and offer!

Some of the topics we covered 

We covered so much valuable material it is hard to choose what to tell you about in this article. Here are a few of the topics we covered:

• Beth’s inspiring story from despair to extreme clarity and business success
• What hand analysis is and why it is so powerful in getting clarity in your business and life
• Understanding your personal mission
• Essential mindset techniques you must master before you can be successful
• Understanding your customers’ needs (and the exact process and questions to ask)
• How to create a profile of your ideal client (powerful stuff)
• Why you should never quote your price if you provide a service
• The exact steps and script Beth uses to convert prospects into clients - with a 90% close rate. (This is pure gold)
• So much more

Beth charges $1495 for a hand analysis and consultation and is overwhelmed with clients. She also has clients paying her 5 figures every year to learn from her. So as you can see, her methods are well worth modellling.

Beth stressed the importance of clarity, both for yourself and for understanding your customers’ needs, so that is what I will write about here. The recording of Beth’s interview is already in the GOLD member’s area of the web site. Simply log in and find her under “Completed Interviews”. If you’re not a gold member yet, why not? For a limited time you can trial gold membership for just $1. It’s a no-brainer really.

You can read my article Business Clarity - Understanding The Needs Of  Both You And Your Customers  here.

You can see Beth’s offer here (but read the article first as there are extra benefits Beth is throwing in that are not on the sales page)

Today we launched (well pre-launched really) the very first Wonderful Web Give away project. A few weeks ago I survey all of the members of Wonderful Web Women to ask you what you biggest frustrations are and how we can help you create success on the Internet. One of the biggest frustrations people face is starting a mailing list and getting traffic to your site.

So we’re doing something about it. I invite you to join  us as a contributor to this project so we can help you grow your mailing list. But we are doing more than simply inviting you. We have also set up ways to help you join us. So if you have no list, no product and no idea, we can help you. Read on to get all the details. I’ve put everything in point form to make it easy for you to get the facts without reading too much

What is a Give away event?

• Dozens, or even hundreds of people contribute a product as a gift to a give-away project site. In order for people to receive each gift, they need to subscribe to the contributor’s mailing list. Each contributor sends traffic to the site so every contributor benefits from the mailing list of each other contributor (also known as Joint Venture Partner or JV Partner).
• You can see a flow chart I have created that tells you how the process works, what you need to do to take part and how you build your list. Let me know what you think of it. I love flow charts.

Details of the Wonderful Web Giveaway

• Launch Date: June 19th 2008, Sydney time
• Date you need to have your contribution in: June 10th, Sydney time
• How long you have to prepare: About 6 or 7 weeks
• Web site url: www.WonderfulWebGiveaway2008.com (The web site is not live yet)
• Who can join?: Free and Gold members of Wonderful Web Women, male and female
• Who else can join?: we will also invite other JV partners when the site goes live in a couple of weeks. The more JV partners the bigger your list will be.
• What is the theme?: Tools to help you create success in all parts of your life (business, personal, health, finances, family etc)
• Must your gifts be your own work?: Please don’t submit products that are available everywhere. You are not doing yourself a favour. You can create your own product or edit and adapt a product you have “private label rights to”. This means you have permission to change the original product and put your own name on it. If you do gift a product that you just resell rights to, please make sure it is not everywhere on the net. You will not get many people joining your list.
• Can you use the “Law of Attraction in Action” publication as your gift?: Not for this giveaway (we would have too many). This is a great book to use in  other giveaways though)

How Can We Help You?

• Stephanie Mulac, veteran of many giveaway projects is acting as our consultant on this project (thanks Stephanie, we love you).
• You can purchase her excellent product which has  every thing you need to take part in a give-away project if you have no list, no product and no idea! It is very reasonably priced.
• All gold members and also purchasers of Stephanie’s product, are invited to an open question and answer session in about 2 weeks (date to be confirmed). This is a special gift from Stephanie to our members (thanks again Stephanie).
• I will hold another open question and answer session before the project is launched for gold members to help you get your product and offer ready.
• Wonderful Web Forum. Visit the forum to brainstorm ideas with other members, get help and advice and the latest updates. I visit the forum often to answer questions. This is where the action will be.
• Join a peer mastermind group: All gold members (yes, even $1 trial members) are invited to join a peer mastermind group. We help you find members, set you up with your own communication hub, facilitate your first meeting and help you keep going. You can find out more here. You can register your interest in the forum or just contact us through the help desk on the Wonderful Web Women site. You can join a group to help each other create your products and join the project.

What next?

 Cheers

Give away events are one of the fastest ways to grow a list when you are first starting out. In fact it is a great way to grow your list even if you have a great list already. It can be a bit confusing to know how the whole process works so i have created a flow chart for you. You can see that it is colour coded to help you see at a glance what things the event organiser will do, what web pages you need to create and what email steps you need to set up. You can also see links to resources to help you set this up quickly, even if you have no product, no web site and no idea!

Good luck

Janet

Recently we have initiated 2 very generous gifts. Firstly we are gifting every one of our existing gold members and our new gold members, a Quick Start List Building pack, delivered to your door. This will cost us thousands of dollars just to produce and deliver (not to mention the value of the product and the intellectual property).

We are also offering all new gold members the opportunity to take GOLD membership for a test run for just $1 for the first month - and we still send you our gift in the post. You may be wondering why we are doing this. I’d like to share with you the business reasoning behind our generosity in this artilce.I believe in being very transparent about how we run our business. For 2 reasons: 

•  the first reason is that you are not a fool. There is so much hype around where people say things like “this is my gift to  you because I am so wonderful and this is a sacrifice I am making just for you”. Sure, generosity is an important part of business (and it is the key-stone of our business model) but it must always be backed with sound business principles. I would much rather be open about how generosity is good business practice and hopefully inspire others to risk generosity.
• the second reason is I really hope to help you grow a profitable business. That is what Wonderful Web Women is all about. Like you (I hope anyway), we trial an initiative then analyse it to see if it works. Some things work and others don’t but if you don’t measure things you will never know. I hope you can learn from my mistakes and successes (hopefully more successes).

The business rationale behind our generosity

Generosity is such a powerful concept in business yet you must always remember you are in business. There is no use being generous if your generosity makes you broke. You’re not helping anyway if you are not around to continue to provide a service. That is why we have a rationale behind every generous  act we do in business (apart from it gives us incredible satisfaction). 

So, what are our business rationales for our 2 most recent generous acts?

Why spend thousands of dollars gifting a physical product?

The  gift we send all our gold members is incredibly valuable. If used, it will actually help you build a list and start making money quickly. We want to help you to make money quickly so you can afford to stay a gold member of Wonderful Web Women. And, if you make the most of the resources we send you to be an affiliate of Wonderful Web Women, you will refer even more customers our way. So see, by helping you succeed, you help us to succeed. It’s a win-win.

The only reason this will not work in our business model is if you take no action. That’s always a risk and that is why we will analyse the cost of this campaign against our income, and decide if it worked or not. So, we’re taking a risk on you taking action. 

Why give access to thousands of dollars of product for just $1

Again this is a big risk. New gold members only have to pay $1 and we send out a gift that costs us a lot of money. So we are making a loss in that first month. So why do it? We intend to knock the socks off our new gold members so they see how valuable gold membership is. If they can only sample how good we are, they will never want to leave. So that’s the risk we take.

The first risk is that people won’t just sign up and cancel a day later, just so they can get their gift (believe it or not people have done this and left thousands of dollars of downloadable MP3s and transcripts untouched).

The second risk is that we aren’t good enough and people won’t stay.
Which brings me to my next point………

Why membership sites are such an ethical way to do business.

Have you heard the hype about membership sites? You know, the one where you do all the work at the beginnning and then get paid every month and do no more work? What rubbish. Sure, most of the work is at the beginning but a good membership site, one that is truly a community, means that you always have to give great value. I really like this as a business model because if you have high integrity, and give excellent value and customer service, you will rewarded highly with loyal customers. If your standards slip, you will quickly see that you are doing something wrong because your members will unsubscribe. It keeps you honest and in my books, if you don’t intend to give exceptional service, why are you in business anyway?

I’m really interested in your reaction to this honesty.

In our business we have 2 guiding motivations:

1. Help people achieve their dreams and be financially independent

2. Achieve our own dreams and be financially independent

I see the best way to do this is to be incredibly generous, based on sound business principles.

What do you think?

Cheers

Janet

This week we are sending out our first batch of gift CDs to all our new and current GOLD members. This is a new campaign we are trialling and if it works out well it become a permanent gift we offer to all new members.

In this article, I’d just like to share with you what is in the gift we are sending you and how it can help you to start making money.

As a side note, this is a great opportunity to share with you a business lesson. If you would like to know the business principles behind our generosity, read this article here. I’d love to hear your comments.

The Wonderful Web Women Quick Start CD

A few week’s ago we surveyed all our members to ask them what they need help with the most. Many people told us they didn’t know where to start. The had no list, no product, no idea. So we have created a gift to help you, and it will arrive ready for you to use in the post.

A Gift For You - Success Formula In The Post

As soon as you start learning about how to make money on the Internet you will hear the saying “The Money Is In The List”. This is true. You can’t make money in any business if you do not have a list of potential customers. The hardest part when you start out is knowing where to start. You need:

a website

a product to offer vistors to your site as a gift so they will join your mailing list, and you need a way to keep in contact with them.

This is a big enough hurdle to stop most people ever starting.  

Even if you have started building a list, you need a way to spoil them so they will stay with you.

When you join Wonderful Web Women as a GOLD member, and for all current gold members, we will send you a gift in the mail with every thing you need to get started building your list.

Even better, this gift is the result of the collaborative efforts of other GOLD members. You really are part of a group of people who take action together. Here’s what you get on the CD Rom we send you in the post (so you don’t need to download anything to get started):

Give-away rights to the Wonderful Web Women digital publication “The Law Of Attraction in Action”. No matter what the topic of your web site, every one is interested in attracting success.

A brandable version of the book so if anyone passes the book along and that reader joins Wonderful Web Women, you receive a thank you affiliate payment from us every month.

Pre-made sales page and download page web site with professional sales copy and images. You can make this your first website or add it to your existing site

Coaching videos: How to personalise the web site and connect to the internet.

Interview recording, transcripts, cheat sheets and action plan “How to use the Law of Attraction in Action” to grow your business

Special $1 trial for the first month

We are currently trialling a special offer for new gold members. I’m not sure yet if this will be a permanent offer or just for the next 2 months so grab it while you can. At the moment you can upgrade to gold membership and pay just $1 for the first month. After that, your credit card will be invliced for $47 per month. No contracts, no minimum time. It’s all our risk. And even better? We still send you our gift in the mail.

There goes your last excuse. You have to succeed now.

Cheers

Janet

Today Amanda Clarkson shared with us how she went from never having visited eBay to averaging $50,000 to $70,000 per month in just 6 months. It’s hard to believe you can create such a profitable business in such a short time but Amanda and her husband Matt did it, and then they did it again, and again in their own business as well as with their mentoring clients. Amanda has made an incredibly generous offer that is only available for Wonderful Web Women. So valuable in fact that half of the available packages went before we even finished the call. Here is the link to her offer, but this is only the offer that is available to everyone. Scroll to the bottom of this article to see what Amanda has given as a bonus just for us and see why so many people rang her office before the interview even finished.

http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com/recommends/amanda

Here are some interesting statistics about eBay

• Did you know that there are over 276 MILLION users on eBay and et less than 1% of them are serious sellers? There are over 50,000 categories and then even more subcategories under them? That’s a lot of potential products to sell to a lot of people.
• Another interesting statistic: 54% of items that are listed on eBay never sell. That means that there are a lot of people selling (or attempting to) on eBay who don’t know what they are doing.

If you know what you are doing, it is easy to dominate your niche (the majority of your competition don’t know what they are doing) and there are millions of people visiting eBay who are ready to buy.

Amanda automated their business so much she got bored

Amanda started mentoring people to create successful eBay businesses because she was bored! Her and Matt had automated their eBay business so well (this is the one bringing in over $50,000 per month) that she had nothing to do after 11am each day. Now she employs a 17 year old to run her eBay business for 2 hours per day and she and Matt help others to build a business.

The best way to start making money on eBay

Too often people see eBay as a hobby. Amanda says it is fine to start off this way but recommends you start with the end in mind. You may just want enough money to pay the mortgage, take every Monday off, or you may want eBay to replace your current income. Whatever your goal, you can then work backwards and plan how much you need to sell, and what profit margin you need.

Amanda then has a guaranteed system to quickly tell if your product idea will make money on eBay or not. This part happens very quickly. The system she teaches shows you how to assess this in about 10 minutes using access to powerful data. This system also shows you where to source the product you want to sell. I love this. No guess work.

Amanda recommends, no matter what your final goal, you start by selling everything in your house that is not tied down! She started by selling the DVDs and home study courses she had bought over the years and never used. I’m sure many of you can relate to this! This is important to get your confidence up, but also allows you to make some mistakes and importantly start building up an eBay ranking.

So what are you waiting for? See what’s laying around the house. After I first saw Amanda present I went home and listed some software I bought years ago that had been a total waste of money for me. It was “guilt on a shelf” for me. Using what I learnt from her in just a 1 hour presentation, I sold that software for $1000 on ebay within 5 days  and used that money to purchase the software that powers Wonderful Web Women. You can do it, I have no doubt.

Amanda’s offer to you

Click on the link below. You’ll see a fantastic DVD course that Amanda has for sale, which alone is enough to really get you started making money. People have built profitable businesses using just this product for guidance. But Amanda has added 2 extra bonuses that are not available anywhere else, and are only outlined here:

1. 2 free tickets to the 3 day workshop in Surfer’s Paradise in May 30, 31st and June 1st. These have already sold out at $997 from her web site. Amanda and Matt only run 2 of these workshops each year and they sell out within 2 weeks. Because Amanda is such a lovely friend, she has saved 20 double tickets to this event just for Wonderful Web Women. These are a bonus when you purchase using the link below. She will only hold these until 5pm Next Tuesday (Sydney time) and then she will release them. She has a waiting list of 100 people for the event I attended in November, and there is a waiting list already for this May event. If you are interesting in using eBay as your vehicle to success, you’re crazy not to make the most of this opportunity as Matt and Amanda share everything at this course.

2. This is the most incredible bonus. The first 10 people who order will receive 1 hour of personal coaching from Amanda and her team of eBay mentors. This is valued at $1000 per hour and you can use it all in one go, or break it into 10 or 20 minute sections. I just got off the phone to Amanda now and I think most of these have gone. The people who have rung her office must have been very kind to her staff because they have volunteered to mentor another couple of people. This is something they have asked Amanda if they can do so your enthusiasm must be contagious! This bonus is especially valuable for you if you cannot make it to the workshop (especially if you are in another country). Good luck getting one of these spots.

Here is the bonus: http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com/recommends/amanda

Here is her office number if you prefer to call: 07 55398264 (+61 7 5539 8264)

Here is my office number: 02 43688 3760 (my hours are 10 am to 2pm) or email me. I attended Amanda’s workshop last year and can also answer any questions you may have.

Cheers

Janet
