How to Be a Winner – The Mysteries to Success

How to attract success into your life? Life is strange, ever wondered how some people just seem to be in the right place and at the right time, they just get it right time and again without much effort? They seem to have the Midas touch where everything they touch simply turns into gold! This is not just about luck, coincidence or having extraordinary talents, they have it because they tap into and use an important principle or law to manifest what they want. What I have for you is not something new, in fact this has been used successfully for thousands of years by a selected group of people who have discovered and used it to be winners.

It is so simple that the majority stumble over it and just don’t realise the importance of what it means to them. I know that I just did not get it for years, I was looking out there for the secrets to success and just did not see it. I was looking but could not find it because I was looking in the wrong place. I was expecting some external force to show me, that I was blinded to the answers to my burning question that were there right in front of my nose all the time. How can I find my own success in life and more importantly how can you? Do not miss this like I did.

You Get What You Focus On.

Many books have been written on this, movies have been made, lectures given and it all boils down to these 6 simple words. “You get what you focus on”. Focus means an intense, sustained interest or attention on what you want. Some call it the law of attraction, visualizing or manifestation, it all comes down to this. You must identify what it is that you want or desire, then this brings with it an intense emotional charge from within you that motivates you to take action.

Don’t expect some external force to do it for you. The energy comes from within you, as simple as that! Once you decide to take action on what you want, new doors begin to open for you and it will follow. The mistakes that you make, you need to learn from, adapt and move on. Each of these are building blocks to take you a step higher up your ladder to success. Once you have set your sights on what you desire that is where you will go. You will make your own luck and coincidences will happen.

Keep looking within you for direction, your subconscious which works for you 24 hours, 7 days a week will direct you. Trust that still small voice within you and take action when a prompting comes. Do not be distracted or disappointed with your results. Determine or make a decision to follow through and make it happen.

Great men like Edison tried over a thousand materials before he discovered the secret to his light bulb invention. In fact he knew he was going to succeed because he said that he was running out of things to try out. Just how badly do you want it, remember successful people never quit and practice makes perfect to be a winner.

8 Pointers On How To Write A Successful Article Or Blog?

What makes an article special? It is something that speaks to the reader to either provoke an emotional thought, is entertaining, interesting or is informative. Successful writing comes from following a few proven principles and using skills that can be learnt through study and perfected with practice. Here are 8 pointers on how to get your article or blog started.

1. Write on what you are passionate about.
This way your enthusiasm will shine through, and it is this that will in turn infect your reader with your exuberance. Remember it is your vibrancy and speciality that will make your piece stand out from the crowd. When you are busy with your feature, keep in the back of your mind that it is for your readers benefit, it is their approval you want. It is your audience, that will decide and judge if your offering is excellent or not…This is what gives the greatest satisfaction, getting their approval.

2. Be comfortable with your subject.
You must have sufficient knowledge or experience in it. If it is a set piece, approach it from a angle that you can relate to. This will mean that you have a firm grasp of the facts, information, terminology and have enthusiasm to carry through to your presentation. From this you can articulate your delivery in a flowing, interesting and informative way.

3. From the outset cultivate a positive attitude within your self.
As a writer you must decide that you are going to have fun, will enjoy this experience and will reap self satisfaction in successfully completing it. Now imagine your completed article that you are proud of. Plant this emotion of gratitude and satisfaction of a job well done within you. Nurturing this positive attitude goes a long way towards helping you creating your masterpiece.

4. Build from the foundation up.
Lay out, organise your thoughts to build some sort of structure. Jot down how you will build your thought piece. This means planning the sequence, from your introduction, to fleshing out the body for your content, followed by summing it all up with a well constructed conclusion. In other words your intro will explain what you are going to give your reader. In the body tell them what you got using supporting points, (When writing use these to benefit your reader that reflects the energy of your essay), then tie it all up with a conclusion.

5. Keep to the point.
Only write what is necessary, don’t ramble on or take a detour. Everything you put down needs to contribute and add substance to your build. No need for extra pieces sticking out, BUT make it unique. This means putting a little bit of your personality it to your creation. Some humour, whit, controversial idea or mystery could do the trick. This gives it warmth and life that touches and engages your audience.

6. People love stories, secrets, tips, tricks, mysteries,unexplained coincidences.
Share new ideas or answers . A story of some sort shrouded in mystery. To do this, promise to reveal some secret in your intro and only give it towards the end. This creates suspense and intrigue which is much desired.

7. Layout and presentation…
Start with an introduction where you inform your readership what to expect, then give them your message, body or meat followed by a conclusion. This is a summary to tie up your thoughts. Keep it simple. Use clear, crisp, concise sentences in a coherent manner. Your text should flow in an open and easily followed manner. Keep each sentence short and to the point, without making your paragraphs too long.

8. Express and inject some of your personality into your write-up.
Be generous with your information, methods, strategies, secrets, tips, tricks, wisdom and thoughts or ideas. Be bold and take a stand to be the “expert in your field”, if this is your passion then you would want to be that. The more you write so your skills as a writer will improve. No one was ever born a prestigious literary prize winning writer, these skills evolved and are honed through practice.

With these 8 pointers, writing excellent and successful articles will come with practice.

Disappointed with your article success? Want surfers magnetized to your article, wanting more? Thousands of articles are published every day that don’t captivate an audience even though they a treasure trove of sugar coated nuggets. Why?

1. Identify with your audience, be up front with their need, fear, problem, desire, interest and then suggest a promise, solution or a offer that meets those needs. This suggests you understand and have aligned your article accordingly. A good example I saw once was, ” Are You developing a Pot Belly? This simple exercise that only takes 10 minutes a day….

2. Be Specific.- “3 Psychological elements….” “Copy this Easy 7 Step plan that earned $309.52 in 5 days…” This makes your article believable, that has substance worth reading.

Top 3 Secret Psychological Triggers to use in article titles to attract traffic

I will probably get into big trouble for letting the cat out of the bag in sharing these secrets.

       In my opinion writing articles for ezines such as www.EzineArticles.com and leaving your blog url. in the resource box is one of the greatest ways to attract traffic and quality back links to your site. To create compelling article titles you need to use the AEDB formula that incorporate psychological triggers……

The internet surfers of the infosphere want fast and instant access to coercing data. They are constantly scanning for something to click on, you have less than 3 seconds in which to grab their attention. For this reason your article title is “king” and so need to understand and incorporate the psychological triggers that follow.

The AEDB formula.  (A= attention, E= emotion, D= desire, B= benefit)

1. Attention.

To get instant attention, the psychological trigger would be to be up front with words that either, question, shock, or are controversial, cause curiosity (what killed the cat? get your audience thinking), exciting and shows enthusiasm or tease. Use bold words and odd numbers, ” now what could the top 3 be? ” or even ” The top 10 “. From time to time try to off balance your audience by being controversial like, ” 7 ways to get your Pit bull and cat to become best friends”

2. Emotion and Desire. Powerful driving forces, so use words to match.

Warning! the 7 biggest article title mistakes you can’t afford to make… Emotions such as fear, desire, greed, compassion, revulsion, hate, love can be generated using carefully selected powerful words.

3. Benefit your reader.

You need to understand what the searcher wants and then figure out a title to match their needs. Article writers biggest need is to get a audience or traffic to that article, so after deciding where to place it, the greatest hurdle is getting attention by delivering:

 a solution,

solve or cure a problem,

find fulfilment, in the quickest, cheapest, leased painful way. Tell them ” What’s in it for them “. Tell them what they will get.

Give handy, useful, tips, lists, reasons or psychological triggers for reading your article and so attract traffic. These are article writers secret weapons that they don’t want you to know about. Use them with care in creating your titles in future.

Niche Blogging, Passion Topics or Passion Markets?

Well these are one and the same thing. I kind of like passion topics because it sums up a growing market phenomenon that is taking the internet by storm. More and more people are searching the internet for information regarding their passions in life. They can do it from home, in their own time and are able to glean information from a global perspective with no barriers or boundaries to confine them.

Passion topics are also used in a profitable way to market to these searchers by understanding and supplying to their needs, in offering a solution, (help, information, product, tool ect.) to any these identified desires (Passion Markets). Because as the name “passion” suggests, desire over rides other needs and a purchase is more likely to follow if a compelling offer is presented.

So a passion topic is really a passion market depending on what side of the fence you are standing on.
Savvy Marketers are doing really well in this area even in a down turned recession climate as we have now.

WHY, HOW CAN THIS BE?
Every one of us needs a place to escape to. The escape from the harshness of all the gloom and doom that bombards us from every angle. This escape varies in each one of us, some find it in:

  • Sport (golf, cycling, football, rowing, yachting, boxing).
  • Hobbies (collecting, model trains/ cars/ planes, camping, hiking, painting, knitting, sewing, home crafts, guitar playing).
  • Pets.
  • Food and cooking.
  • Technology and games (play station, Xbox).
  • Self improvement (body building, health, memory building, mind games, becoming a better speaker).
  • Learning new skills such as a language for instance.

There are a whole host of other niche’s that I am sure you could add. These passions are very important to each of us and even if we have to sacrifice something for it, we will not in this area. All you need to do is go down to the local book store and see the range of magazines on offer at premium prices.

This will give you some ideas on what to blog on. Find something that you are passionate in, something you can share on and have knowledge about. It could even be about something you are learning this very moment and as you learn you could blog on your new found knowledge. People with medical conditions blog on tips and remedies that they find useful.

People are eager to learn new things, so what niche or passion could you start blogging on?
