Are you a serious Home Business Entrepreneur?

If there’s one frustration shared by most SERIOUS Home Based
Business Entrepreneurs, its the proliferation of Pretenders
in this industry.

They are hiding under every rock, and lurking around every
corner…just waiting to jump out and waste your time.

If you’re a SMART home business Entrepreneur, then you
learn to filter these time-wasters out from your prospecting
process.

Sure, some will slip through the cracks…but there are steps
you can take to keep away the pretenders, and attract TRUE
PROFESSIONALS to your organization.

Take 2 minutes to finish reading this to find 3 powerful ways
to attract PROFESSIONALS and to repel PRETENDERS…
by simply being careful about the words you choose to use in
your marketing.

TIP #1
“Work Condition” Your Content

Pretenders are LAZY. they don’t want to WORK. They are
looking for a GET RICH QUICK SCHEME – and they
expect YOU to give it to them.

Once they weasel their way into your organization, they will
absolutely suck the life out of you as they leech up all of your
valuable time and energy.

So how do you keep them out?

By “Work Conditioning” all of your marketing. Tell people,
up front and FLAT OUT, that what you are doing is NOT
EASY.

Tell them that there is HARD WORK involved – that what
you are doing and/or selling is simply NOT for those who
aren’t serious or dedicated Entrepreneurs.

If you want to keep PRETENDERS (a.k.a. Time Leechers)
out of your OWN organization, then AVOID THESE
NEXT TWO WORDS LIKE THE PLAGUE!

Do not EVER use these words in ANY of your content or
your ads…these are LEECH MAGNETS (and Entrepreneur
repellents)

Easy (i.e. easy money, easy profits, easy income)
Fast  (i.e. fast money, fast profits, fast income)

And just imagine if you combined them?

Easy Fast Money
Fast & Easy Money

Just exactly WHO do you think you’ll be attracting by focusing
on these two Entreprenerial-spirit-murdering words?

That’s right – PRETENDERS (aka Time Leeches, aka Opportunity
Seekers, aka Get Rich Quick SUCKERS)

And guess who is turned OFF by the ideas of “fast” and “easy”?

Right Again – Home Business Professionals (aka Entrepreneurs).

You see, a true Entrepreneur will realize that building a successful
home business will be neither “fast” nor “easy” – and so when they
see these words, they instantly associate them with another word
that will drive them away like Richard Simmons from a “Long
Pants Convention”:

SCAM

So the first tip is let people know that there will be REAL WORK
involved, and that will keep AWAY the people who don’t WANT
to work…that want everything “fast” and “easy”, and who also want
YOU to do everything.

And it will attract the very people that you WANT in your
organization:

Home Business Professionals – Entrepreneurs like Yourself.

Tip #2
Don’t Be Afraid Of Using An Intelligent Vocabulary:

There’s an old adage that when you’re writing ads, stick with a 5th
Grade Vocabulary (or lower) – unless you’re marketing to English
Professors!

This is usually true…when you’re selling SOMETHING.

But this is NOT true when you’re trying to attract Professionals to
your organization.

Professionals are typically smart, educated people. That is the
kind of person that you want to be Gravitationally Attracted to your
organization.

They aren’t afraid of “big” words – and they actually understand
what they mean.

I’m not saying that you should construct your content to read like
a  college essay – for the most part, you should still keep your
sentences and paragraphs short, your points concise, and your
vocabulary simple.

But you should sprinkle “Attraction” words into your content and
sales copy at opportune times – right as you’re making your key
points, and during what is supposed to be your most influential
“direct response”.

But it’s important to remain Conversational. If you’re talking to a
“real world” professional, just having a normal conversation with
them,they don’t sound like they are giving a Doctoral Dissertation.

But at the same time, you can tell that they are intelligent, just
by the vocabulary they use naturally in their conversation. And if
YOU are an intelligent person, if YOU are a professional…then
you’re naturally attracted to them.

But if you’re NOT, then you are repelled by them… usually because
you’re INTIMIDATED by them.

So as you promote your Business Opportunity, even a new mlm,
don’t be afraid to use four-syllable words.  

Want a practice idea?  Look this word up in the dictionary, and then
try to fit it NATURALLY into your content that you use to promote
your business:

TRANSCENDENTAL

See if you can do it…

(note:  My son won his school’s spelling bee as a 4th Grader by
spelling transcendental. If a 10-year-old can spell it, then YOU
can learn what it means and USE IT)

TIP #3
Don’t Market Money…Market PROSPERITY

Most Home Business Professional “Wannabes” market in the same tired
old ways – they throw CASH around on their websites – promises of
GLORIOUS RICHES with seemingly no effort whatsoever.

On the perpetrating sites, you’ll see Benjamin Franklins raining
down from the sky, hot women draped sensually (see, you can weave
BIG words into your content!  THAT’s not a “5th Grader Word”!)
across the hood of an exotic sports car, and…well, you get the
drift.

But the problem with this type of marketing is it attracts those
Opportunity Suckers (notice how I turned that one?), and it repels
Business Professionals like a bus full of nuns from “Thunder Down
Under” (look it up).

If you want to attract PROFESSIONALS, then you need to avoid Dollar
Bill Waterfalls and other “Bling” – and instead, focus your
marketing on:

True Prosperity.

But what is Prosperity? What does that mean?  And how do you market
it?

Unfortunately, that is a subject that is far too broad (not to

mention too important) to cover in just a quick article – as most good

home business tips usually are.

Instead, this is a subject that should be demonstrated visually in
a live, interactive environment environment, like a live traing Webinar.

If you are a book author who wants potential readers to find you on the internet, you want to be as visible as possible in places that those readers might be. And in almost every social media place that you sign up for – such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn – you are given the opportunity to write a profile about yourself.

What should these profiles say to effectively attract potential readers?

Twitter Has Only 160 Characters for Your Bio Info

Let’s start with Twitter with 160 characters max for your bio. Obviously you are going to put that you are a book author (perhaps fiction or nonfiction) and presumably you will have a book website URL for the “more info URL” field in your profile. What else are you going to say in those 160 characters? That depends.

Do you have a business besides being a book author? If so, you may want to put info about that business in your bio. Or is there a particular hook about your book that you want to get across in your bio? Perhaps your book is a novel based on a true story.

Your goal in the brief Twitter bio is to make yourself interesting enough (although all true) that people can find “connections” to you and want to follow you.

This means that you must not leave this bio blank. If you want people to follow you on Twitter, you have to be willing to share about yourself.

And remember that you can change this info easily. For example, if your book wins an award, you should consider changing your Twitter bio to reflect that award. Revisit your bio every couple of months to ensure that it presents the most up-to-date version of yourself.

Facebook Has Much More Space for Bio Info

Now let’s move on to Facebook, which has a longer bio section under info on your profile page with the ability to include as many of your own website URLs as you want.

Now here’s the often-overlooked extra of Facebook:

You can have a very brief bio section under your photo that people can see when visiting your wall page as well as your info page. This is a golden opportunity to get the most important points across in a very short space. Because, honestly, how many people are going to read all those long entries on your info page? (And for the long entries, do use lists instead of long, dense paragraphs.)

Take advantage of this brief, easy-to-read bio with the info you most want to share with your Facebook friends. Note that this may not necessarily be the same as the info you choose to share with your Twitter followers, even though in both cases you want to emphasize that you are a book author. And, again, update this brief Facebook bio every couple of months.

LinkedIn Has Its Own Peculiarities

Now for the third social networking site – LinkedIn. This site gives you a very brief space to put a few words under your photo along with the opportunity to provide a brief summary of your business. Book authors should take advantage of both places to convey their most important information. Then the rest of the profile info on LinkedIn is more job and career-oriented.

There is one important “trick.” LinkedIn only allows three website links. But don’t click on “My Company” or “My Website” or “My Blog” before putting in the links. Click on “Other” in each case. Then to the right of “Other” put descriptive words such as “Book Blog” or “Book Site.” You want potential readers to know they can find out about your book(s) at your sites.

As with your other social media profiles, revisit your LinkedIn profile info every so often to ensure that the info is up to date.

In conclusion, don’t make the mistake of thinking that these profiles are unimportant and thus you dash off writing the info. These profiles provide the information that helps make you interesting to potential readers. Spend as much time writing and revising these social media profiles as you would spend writing and revising any paragraph or page in your novel or nonfiction book.
