How to never lose with a website or blog
I really chose a crazy title today. How to never lose with a website or blog.
Aristotle once said “Man by nature desire knowledge”.
To understand, this is part of nature of a man. We want to understand something. Notice he never said “man by nature desire information”.
There’s difference in both of them.
Knowledge = applied information + experience.
In my blog I’ve given you complete system from start to finish. The information that I shared with you is my knowledge but not yours unless you start working towards it.
It took me
13 months to understand conversion and blogging
3-5 months to learn and implement SEO & get traffic.
3-5 months to learn article marketing & get traffic.
6-8 months in learning PPC.
6 months in web 2.0 & get traffic.
12-13 month in email marketing
I tackled all my problems one by one. I didn’t try to do all the things in one go. That’s a recipe for disaster.
There are things I never tried (am just bad) in learning.
Things like…
using ebay.
copywriting (I am just so-so in this field).
Product launch (though I do have successful launches under my belt, none of it in internet marketing field, One product offline. I wouldn’t call myself an expert)
and few more things that escapes my mind.
If you problem finding a niche.
Keep at it, until you can use at least one way to do it.
If you have problem creating a product
Keep at it, until you can use at least one way to do it.
If you have problem getting traffic.
Keep at it, until you can use at least one way to do it.
In my last email I talked about focus. In today’s email I want you to focus your attention to your biggest strength and channel it to success.
Tackle Your Problems One By One.
and this goes for every small detail that builds an online business.

There’s No Cape
After getting into business and learning how to sell to people. This is the most important lesson I learned the hard way.
People Buy For Their Own Reasons, Not yours.
Customer don’t care, what you are selling, why you are selling as long as their needs are met.
This truism in the marketing/selling is not to be under-estimated. The image below captures the sentiments just right.
I almost stopped myself from writing this…
“You suck, you got no business telling others about it if you, yourself can’t do it.“
Yup, that’s what I was saying to myself just half an hour ago.
Just 1/2 hr ago, I decided I’ll write this email and update my blog since I decided to be more active on my site.
I opened my email processor….
Blink..
Blink..
Blink..
WTF…????
I kept staring at my screen, wonderind what the hell happened to me?
I realized I was hit by most people’s nightmare.
Writing block…
WHOA…
Now for a guy who shouts at the top of building, that there’s no such thing as writing block.
It’s freaking embarrassing.
Now the negative side in me was cursing me, my skills and what people will think if they find out..
Positive side kept telling me to calm down.
Now I got a good excuse for myself not to be able to do this…
I got ADHD. I found out couple of years ago.
Do you know, there’s no system in indian Schooling system to recoganize ADD/ADHD. Often people don’t
realize this. No wonder I didn’t do well in school Until I figured out how brain works and stuff…
Now I am disctracting from the main issue here…
I kicked by chair and then just walked down my building, took few deep breathes and asked myself this question.
“Varun, what’s your advice that you are not following yourself right now?”
JUST WRITE DAMN IT…
Yes, that’s what I am supposed to do. Just write.
I came back, sat down and started writing.
And now you are recieving this email which might end up as a blog post too. Why? Because I am sharing this idea of gettting rid of your mental blocks.
“NOTHINGS MOVES IN LIFE UNTIL YOU GIVE A PUSH”.
That’s what I learned early in life. Being a kid with ADD I always had to work extra hard and then some more to get So-So (below average) grades.
That’s true for life.
That’s true for writing blocks.
That’s true for marketing your business.
That’s also true for success in your life.
If you aren’t succeeding, ask yourself this…
“When did you stopped pushing and Quit because things didn’t seem to be working for you?”
Napoleon Hill talked about this in his book “Think and Grow rich”. He talks about “Stopping 2 feet from the gold”.
How many times have you stopped 2 feet from the gold?
When I realized this, I decided, to not stop unless I achieve the success I am looking for…
From ADD to Ranking 4th nationally in mathematics (that too in country full of geeks 
)
Becoming top rated programmer when I was 17
Starting my own business at 18
Starting & succeed online business at 23
Becoming a pro blogger at 24
Succeeding offline with my marketing skills at 27.
The list goes on and on…
The reason?
“NOTHINGS MOVES IN LIFE UNTIL YOU GIVE A PUSH”.

Appologies and My 2 golden Rules
First off, my apologies for how infrequently I have sent emails about how to expand your online business, get more traffic and make some serious dough.
Secondly, let me give you the reason behind all this. I’ve been writing to you after a long time and there is a reason behind this. You see, about 8 months ago I shifted my focus on building my business offline (after succeeding online).
I’ve been consulting business locally and started working on my dream project (YAY me).
Anyways, one of the business owner I was working with, just started expanding his business abroad. Now this guys is already in Europe & Asia, now he’s aiming for US.
Now I know you are wondering why the heck I am talking about some random guy expanding his business?
What’s it got to do with you?
If you are bit careful, then you can realize that the time period I am talking about is all about bad economy. This guy is expanding while everyone else is bitching n whining about bad economy.
I am telling you this, because I want you to differentiate between all the nay-sayers and winners.
He’s a savvy guy, he understood that if you are going to succeed, you better be immune to all the what losers says and think.
Focus on success to succeed. Let the Losers cry about falling sky.
Though I’ve been missing from my own site, but I’ve been keeping tab on what’s going on all around. The things I see boggles my mind.
You know the drill…
Launches – I lost track of how many relaunches of the relaunch of the launch was happening. There has been never so much of garbage floating around on the number of launches.
Talk about prices tags and offers… Just Buy my shit and you are covered with my special ultra platinum honest to goodness 100 year refund offer with a matching price tags. That’s all you gotta do folks… just buy it and then even your grandson return it for a refund.
Let’s not forget their affiliates. Do these guys even have imagination? Every one of them copying and pasting same emails, same reviews, same bonus offers… sheesh… talk about lazy.
Now I seriously pity the guys who are starting now (or just started recently). I mean, you don’t have to put much efforts to get distracted by these launches. And every product, every offer look better than the other ones.
I remember when I started in 2004, the only distraction was myself. Even then it took me 13 freaking months from losing money to successfully get into profitable figures.
Do you remember my story? My first ever 5 months netted me $21.50.
Utter failure… I jumped to $200 a day 8 months later.
but today with all the distractions, you’d be damn lucky to get my kind of results (that include my failure too).
The difference is all about me focusing on getting good results.
FOCUS. That’s the foundation of this game.
Now I know, in between all these launches few are good ones…
for example Any stuff by Eben pagan is diamond.
Any stuff by Rich Schefren is Diamond.
But Their stuff will give you better results if you have experience.
Though their sales letter will not tell you that…
Rest of the other guys?
No website, no list, no traffic, no knowledge of html, no knowledge of marketing etc etc…. WTF are those people claiming these days?
Lots of them dropped their quality of material they are publishing. And I am hesitating in dropping their names cuz I personally know them & friends with (though I don’t stop bashing them on their faces).
I am backtracking again… Like I talked about focus. You should be focusing on getting results. Spend time daily working on your business.
Think How you can improve your quality of site, content, product, or services.
Remember my 2 Golden Rules - & Trust me I don’t have that many.
1. Traffic. = Content + 3 X Promotion
2. Super Success. = Content + Traffic + Conversion
If you want to get traffic. Improve your promotional efforts.
If you want to improve results, improve your conversion.
Only 2 Rules… Print it Out and paste it in front of your PC.
Remember – In Business, nothing moves until customer buys.
Well I’ll wrap it up here for today…
Best Regards
Varun Pratap
