Hyperventilating Syndrome information Overload Internet Marketing List Building Product Creation

Information Overload And The Internet Marketer, Part 3: The-HYPErventilating-Syndrome

It has come to my attention that the Internet and what we’ve come to know as Information Overload have a whole lot to do with… breathing.

So much of the large load of information that come to us has to do with HYPE, and from this combination, I’ve coined the term HYPErventilate. Our only course of action is to take a deep breath and just Dive In. During your hard work of pitching it all to the curb, you’re in for a bit of heavy breathing. And lastly, when you’ve emptied the trash, you can then breathe easy.

We have all been dealing with the increasing information load for more than two decades. Here is a quote — not from our new 21st Century, but from 1990:

"Everything from telegraphy and photography in the 19th century
to the silicon chip in the 20th has amplified the din of information,
until matters have reached such proportions today that for the
average person, information no longer has any relation to the
solution of problems. Our defenses against information glut have
broken down; our information immune system is inoperable. We don't
know how to filter it out; we don't know how to reduce it; we don't
know to use it."

~Neil Postman

Resource: http://www.eff.org/Net_culture/Criticisms/informing_ourselves_to_death.paper

Indeed, information barrages us from all directions at an amazing rate. Information overload is frighteningly easy to encounter and almost desperately hard to counteract.

Deep in the bottomless pit of newsletters, RSS feeds, personal Email consisting of family announcements and forwarded Cute Stuffs, and professional Emails, you find that you have perhaps hundreds of pieces of information to assimilate every day.

Do you literally find yourself “zoning out?” Does all of this unconnected content take away the focus from the primary information you’ve also received, and which has complete relevance to the here and now, and the success of your business?

It is becoming more and more complicated to sift the golden nuggets of real information from the mountains of fool’s gold that is the data hurled our way from all directions. You literally get lost in an avalanche of information. Of course, to a certain extent, we bring this upon ourselves — most of us try to take in just too much of all the goodies that this age of unlimited digital access has brought us. Not to mention all the traditional sources such as TV, radio, billboards, and the other gazillion media pieces that hit us every day. It is no wonder that we feel overwhelmed. Daily, we have reason to HYPErventilate.

Although I’ve taken a light approach in this writing, there are serious physical symptoms showing up in people who live large amounts of time online. Professors of psychiatry at Harvard have studied the consequences of technology on the human attention span and our ability to focus on core tasks. They have coined the term “pseudo-attention deficit disorder” (ADD). Although those of us who suffer from this disorder don’t truly have clinical ADD, we do live with a shortened attention span.

To help you in your fight against information overload, learn to recognize the daily happenings that produce the problems. Once you see the patterns, there are ways to counteract and defend against being overwhelmed:

• Don't allow the profusion of content to work against you.
  Instead, modify the way in which you manage it.

• Today’s demand for what amounts to out of control multitasking,
  and the deluge of information have fashioned a counterproductive
  way of life. What a paradox this is: The more we attempt to do,
  the less we actually get done... and the more swamped we are
  with information, the less time we can effectively absorb it.

• Use your Email filters and weed out the junk. A lot of what you
  receive is the latest “fad” for spammers and will have identical
  subject lines or phrases. It only takes a few moments to create
  a filter, and this will refunnel all the repeat spam from your
  inbox. Choose some keywords contained in the subject line or the
  body of the message. This will filter out those Emails that match
  your keywords.

• In limiting the quantity of material that comes to you, you will
  purge much of the source of your information overload. Once
  you’ve accomplished this, you will have more time to spend doing
  the things you need to do, for growing and developing your
  business.

Here is the bottom line: Implementing uncomplicated strategies for dealing with information overload online today will bring great rewards in peace of mind and increased time management, in the future. You will find you will have more time for the things you really enjoy, and for being with those who mean the most to you. Instead of being a victim of the HYPErventilating Syndrome, you will discover that

“Once in a blue moon, people will surprise you, and once in a while
people may even take your breath away.”

~from Grey’s Anatomy, 2005, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0413573/quotes

So. Again. Take a deep breath and dive right in. This time, you’ve tamed the Information Overload Beast, and you are in control.

To your Online Success,

Affiliate Marketing Authority Become Blogging Expert Expertise Internet Marketing Known Expert List Building Self Improvement

How to become known as the expert in your field

Yes, you. Absolutely. A guru is simply an acknowledged leader or teacher. An expert is anyone who has mastery of a particular subject. Neither of these words means that you know everything there is to know. They DO mean that a particular subject is your specialty. If you have delved so far into a subject that you have created new ideas or a product around it, you have already exhibited mastery in your specialty.

But you’ll need more than intellectual understanding to give you the motivation to get the word out. So take a few minutes to do an inventory. Think back to your beginnings in your area of expertise. Remember your first published writings in the school newsletter. Relive your glory days as the class clown that had you holding your audience in the palm of your hand. In the years since then, how many hours have you spent working, reading, talking, writing, and thinking about your subject? Add them up as best you can. You didn’t realize it, but you were a guru in training!

One of the easiest ways to drive prospective clients and customers to your business is to become the expert in your field. The term Expert carries credibility and prestige that can open many doors for you, and, oddly enough, the term is relatively easy to acquire. This simple three-step process can help you quickly and easily set yourself up as the expert in your field.

Determine Your Niche

Instead of trying to be everything to everybody, narrow down your focus to the things that you are really, really good at. A friend of mine set himself up as an expert of leadership training for water treatment facilities. When he told me what he was doing, I asked, “Is there any money in that?” He smiled and said, “Every city’s got one, and I’m the only leadership expert in this field in the country.” He was frequently quoted in trade journals and asked to speak at their conventions. Find your niche and you’ll eliminate your competition.

Write about Your Area of Expertise

After you determine your niche, begin to write articles about your area of expertise. Every single day, tens of thousands of editors, web masters, and newsletter publishers are looking doggedly for unique and information-packed articles. If you can write articles that teach readers about your industry, you will find numerous places that will quickly publish your article.

I spent ten years as a trainer before someone, out of desperation, asked me to write an article for her trade journal. A few months later, another editor saw the article and asked if she could reprint it. Before long, I began to get inquiries from companies in that industry, and a snowball effect began to occur. The more business I did in the industry, the more of an expert I became. I followed with other articles, and within a short period of time, I became a recognized expert in an industry that I had never received any formal education in.

Write a few articles, and you can become a recognized expert in any field.

Speak as Often as You Can

When your articles begin to get published, you’ll start to receive requests to speak more often.

95% of the population has some type of nervousness about public speaking. So when you stand up and say what you want to say, the way you want to say it, you are doing what 95% of the population wish they could do. When you speak about your industry, you set yourself up as the expert on that topic. You gain instant credibility.

If you get nervous when you speak in front of a group, attend a public speaking class. It will be the best investment of your life; the more confidently you present your ideas, the more competent you will appear in front of a group.

Follow these three simple steps and you will become the recognized expert in your specific niche.

You have an inspiring message, a wonderful solution, or a great product. You have something people need. Now, you have to let them know about it. You want to teach people to think of you as a guru in your subject of expertise. Fortunately, that’s not as hard to accomplish as you might think. The hard part is convincing yourself.

To your Success,

How To Make BIG PROFITS from a small mailing list!

Money starts from a small mailing list

Maximize your profit through a small mailing list! You heard it right… All you need is marketing power!

This good news is brought to us by Charlie Page, the owner of the world’s prominent Directory of Ezines. Charlie Page is a distinguished marketer who owns several profitable websites and publishes his own ezine. And now he has written a report that tells the fact on how to make BIG PROFITS from a small mailing list.

The main thing is that he’s worth listening to, since he has been there. Charlie has worked with thousands of ezine publishers and has carefully analyzed what works and what fails.

Charlie even added his own experiences to his implausible report. He took a straight look inside the real world of making money from a small mailing list. And you won’t just get this type of information from reading blogs, forums, articles, or even surfing the web.

For your information, you can actually buy a list of 100,000 subscribers today for about $1000. The question is, are they quality subscribers? Well, Charlie knows that they’re not. In his experience, he bought a list of subscribers from a popular vendor; unfortunately, he made zero sales. He even did exactly what was recommended!

Then, there are also experts who are claiming that you can make money with a small mailing list of 100 subscribers. They even placed some figures to back up their claim. They use these old advertising strategies just to gain customers.

The bottom line here is that, you don’t need to have a huge subscription list if you know what it takes to make profit from a small mailing list.

Starting today, you can create and cultivate your own small mailing list that can bring the automatic profits you want. It is also one way of making your small mailing list highly responsive.

Owning a small mailing list is one of the most profitable things you can do online. Web marketers say that it’s more profitable than writing e-books, getting link partners, and even having the highest Alexa rating.

Building your own small mailing list is an investment that lasts. With a small mailing list, you can make lots of offers and your subscribers will purchase what you recommend. It is also easy to make one, if you know how.

You don’t have to be a guru or spend thousands of dollars to begin profiting from your small mailing list. All you need is to learn how to get subscribers.

That’s exactly what Charlie Page would want to say. According to him, if you’re doing the following, you have the potential for a profitable small mailing list.

1. have your own website
2. generate traffic to your website
3. sell or offer products and services from your site
4. have anyone in your upline
5. have a list of names in your email address book
6. do forum postings
7. send emails

You just need to develop those things for you to be able to make money from your small mailing list.

Your list must be something that you can mail week after week. A list should mean you can advertise your products. Advertising is the life-blood of any mailing list. That is why it is also important that your subscribers know you, like you, and buy from you. But it is recommended that you do not do direct mailings, except to your own subscribers that you have. You can also profit from your list if you know how to schedule your mailings.

Now, would that be possible? Why not? Consider this one fact.

If you get only 100 visitors a day to your web site, and say only 20% of them ask for your information (which means they are subscribing to YOUR mailing list) in a year‘s time, you would have a mailing list of approximately 7000 people!

And if you really exert more effort, you could do much more than this. As marketers say, it takes a little time, money, and dedication to develop and implement a mailing list. But it’s a powerful tool that can pay for itself in just a few months and then keep paying off for years to come.
