Getting clear on promoting your products and services increases blogging income.
Blogging business struggles arise if you lack clarity.
Promoting your blogging business confidently leads to fun, freeing blogging success.
Stop fiddling around with blogging small potatoes to try to get around the fear of self-promotion.
No; spending precious time figuring out the perfect spot for your opt-in form is not the key to a professional blogging career.
Creating helpful content, building connections and feeling clear on self-promoting is.
Understanding this idea expands your awareness quickly.
Versus burying your offerings and working hard to get people to see your products and services you share each freely, help people and receive money.
Logically the process is simple to understand.
Emotionally the process involves wading through uncomfortable fears.
Nudge through the mental muck.
Get clear on promoting your blogging business.
Experience the joy of helping people and receiving money for helping people.
Doesn’t that sound fun?
Follow these steps to overcome the fear of promoting your blogging products and services.
1: Commit to Mindset Training
Train your mind to unearth fears associated with self-promotion.
Go within. Spot your discomfort with receiving money. Observe worthiness issues. Identify fears around being criticized for selling.
Training your mind by observing beliefs long buried is a direct way to root out self-promotional fears. Give yourself 20 minutes daily to observe how you think and feel about self-promotion. Assess these emotions. Does each support or torpedo your blogging business?
Look within to see how you unconsciously self-sabotage via self-promotional fears.
Train the mind to be aware of this: the enemy is within.
2: Forgive Money Limiting Beliefs
Money does not grow on trees.
Not true; we live in abundance.
People hate to be sold to.
Not true; people love receiving the benefits of whatever you sell.
Look money limiting beliefs dead in the eye. Challenge each fear. Most bloggers fear promoting self and their business because money limiting beliefs play over and over in their mind like a tape recorder.
For example, promoting:
seems like a good idea but fearing that money does not grow on trees and that people hate to be sold to would goad me not to promote the link. Not promoting the link makes it more difficult for you to find it which makes me work harder to generate diminishing sales.
Do you see why harboring money fears kills your blogging income?
Allow these ideas to surface in your mind to see them as false. Proceed in the opposite direction. Promote yourself to expand your blogging business.
3: Surround Yourself with Clear Bloggers
Surround yourself with clear, confident bloggers.
It’s okay to charge money for your products and services; they’re doing it and you can do it too.
Forgive and let go bloggers who fear charging money for products and services. Let go bloggers who criticize bloggers for promoting themselves. Do you want any of that smoke? Do you want their self-promotional fears kicking around in your mind?
The goal is to get over self-promotional fears not to buy into them.
4: Learn from Top Earners
Bloggers like Pat Flynn earn substantial worldly income because self-promotion is a relaxed organic process for these individuals.
He does such a smash up job being truly helpful through his content that self-promoting loses any negative, scared, heavy charge.
Naturally, he earns coin because top earners have fun helping people thoroughly and allow money to take care of itself.
Surround yourself with prospering bloggers. Study their mindset. Pay close attention to their attitude. Most are hyper-clear on promoting self because doing so is another way to help others versus only earning money for self.
A self-less aspect to self-promotion exists. Few understand this. Few get that although you receive money the customer or client receives helpful advice, too. Resisting self-promotion lessens the chance of people receiving help they can really use right now.
Did you ever frame self-promotion in this fashion?
5: Promote Your Business Freely to Trigger Fears
Promote your products and services freely.
Develop the habit of sharing your business to trigger fears in the mind.
For example, dropping a link to your blogging course at the end of each post for 6 months can trigger these fears in mind:
- “Nobody bought it; I am wasting my time.”
- “The course is not good enough”
- “I am not good enough.”
- “Nobody will buy it going forward.”
Good!
Now explore each of your fears. Feel these emotions. Each fear blocks blogging income. Each fear blocks free self-promotion.
Self-promoting frequently triggers fears you seemed previously unaware of.
Follow this practical strategy to unearth fears that need to go for increased self-promotion and blogging profits.
6: KISS
Keep Income Streams Spreading.
Adding:
- products
- services
to your blogging arsenal makes you less dependent on any single product or service.
Being less dependent on any one channel compels you to self-promote seamlessly because you will blog abundantly not from scarcity.
7: Accept this Truth
Money does not define you.
How much you earn suggests nothing of your worth.
Net worth as the world sees it is this: how much means of exchange you appear to acquire.
Does that idea sound worthy of you?
I didn’t think so.
Identify not with money. Framing money as a symbol to use impels one to freely promote products and services.
The less you identify with money the more freely you share your business with others.
Since it is not a big deal (aka NOT YOU) it feels effortless to share products and services with others.
8: Observe How You Feel While Handling Money
Do you fear spending?
How does it feel when bills arrive?
Feel fears arising in awareness as you think about money. Express and forgive these emotions.
Clearing the fears helps you handle money with love and harmony.
Handling money with love and harmony inspires you to promote your products and services freely.
When you fear not losing it you share helpful ways to earn it.
9: Celebrate Every Penny You Earn
What you appreciate appreciates.
Be thankful for every penny of blogging income to generate ideas for earning more blogging income.
Promoting your blogging products and services freely is one such way to generate more blogging income.
Appreciate what you have to share and multiply what you own.
In the process, readers access helpful resources.
Who loses?
No one.
10: Repeat this Phrase to Yourself Persistently
“It is only money.”
Or….
“It is just money.”
Promoting a blogging business is not equal to asking for someone’s child or right leg.
Humans cling to insane ideas concerning this neutral means of exchange. Money is not human sacrifice. Money is something people exchange.
The product or service is helpful advice. In exchange, people offer a neutral symbol called “money” to receive the help.
No big deal, folks.
Perceive money as no biggie.
Promote your premium offerings freely.
Conclusion
Follow these steps closely.
Get clear on promoting your blogging business.
Be truly helpful and receive money for it.
