Do What Your Not Doing

I wanted to write a post that no matter what area of business or life or whatever you are talking about, if you apply this little theory you will begin to see greater success in that area.

No matter what you are doing, one way that you can achieve greater success in the area is to make sure you are doing something which is different to everybody else that is also in the same area.

No matter what it is, if you do the same as every other Joe Blow out there you will never stand out, and you will never get ahead by leaps and bounds.

For example, an affiliate marketing company I work with online give out free templates to promote their products. These templates all contain around 10-15 articles, a header, some pictures and a page to add your own reviews to the products.

Now when your searching for these products or a variety of other related terms on Google or whatever, these same looking sites, with the same articles, the same pictures and same headers keep popping up. Even the sites with different headers still all look the same and have the same feel to them.

The end result, these websites suck, surfers come to kind of ignore them, and there money goes to another site and the affiliates whine and think they have been ripped of because they put there lousy time into this site.

I too had one of these sites, i have had it now for just less than a year, i re-wrote the articles for the serps, threw up some reviews, and wallah left it sit there for 9 months. In that time I made 3 sales, around $200-250 and around 200 bucks in adsense.

About two weeks ago I had a look at this site and laughed at it it was horrible and worst of all it was the same as everyone else promoting these products were doing.

To cut the story short, I did a total remake of the site, the only thing it cost me was around 10- bucks for some sexy pictures, 5 bucks for a new header, and a couple of days of my time.

I made my site look different, I added some spice, I made it unique, I added VALUE!

In this last 2 weeks I have now had another 3 sales, that is as many in 2 weeks as the same ole' site as everyone else made in 9 months with the same amount of traffic.

Make whatever you do unique and add value and the success and the money will soon follow.

I'm sure you think of numerous examples where doing things different than the rest of the mob has resulted in increased success for someone or for yourself.

Change some things in your life or in your business and the results will follow.

To Your Success,

Troy
