The CORRECT Way to Sell Anything Online

[@GeorgeKaoCommunity]

Instead of agitating the problem (or even arousing it) we can instead imagine ourselves as a caring doctor, lightly tapping on the pain point of the patient -- so gently and kindly as to simply confirm that we understand the right problem and so that we are able to provide the right solution.

The best part about your videos is not only how value packed with frameworks they are, but how you live and breathe what you're talking about. That's how we know you're not making stuff up - you've been through this and are talking from experience. Thank you for ATLAS

[@ReikiMasterCarlie]

In the past, people say that emotion is not a good thing. But fortunately emotions is a very crucial component in writing stories that sells. Thank you for teaching us, Pat❤

[@CoconutPete]

the internet landscape is absolutely brutal compared to the 90s. Competing with slave labor overseas, Big Tech gatekeepers, copycats and more. Seems to me the only "opportunity" left is to sell the fantasy to others

[@shellicohen1885]

If that’s what you believe, that’s what you will experience. I see more opportunity to earn online than ever before!

LMAO far from it. Internet's a medium, it's the industry and niche that determines how viable it is. It's not easy, but it's definitely doable.

Pat - at 53, let me give you a heads up, WALKING is challenging for some of us. Walking laps in the pool is a lot easier. ;-) RUNNING!?!? OUCH! bone-on-bone pain (hips/knees). The pool is the way.

I personally hate receiving things by email. I have unsubscribed to all most everything,

[@woketointelofjws6670]

I'm the same

[@MrYoungzay]

If you ever wanna be a good marketer (and EVERY entrepreneur should learn and become good at marketing) than you need to learn to love being marketed to I LOVE seeing ads, sales emails, etc even if I don’t buy from them cause I love marketing If you resist being marketed too than you’ll probably resist doing the marketing needed to get your own sales and follow up (email 📧 ) is where most sales come from

[@TribalGlobe]

@@MrYoungzay You might, but my instictual reaction is what the majority of people feel, and me telling them that they have to learn to love to be marketed to, is just NOT going to fly. Marketing is one thing. Filling up my personal email inbox with all this crap is quite another.

[@TribalGlobe]

@@MrYoungzay I don't have enough time to be filtering through a much of marketing crap in my email. That's why I just unsubsribe, block and spam them.

[@MrYoungzay]

@@TribalGlobe idc what the majority of people feel and you shouldn’t either as an entrepreneur because “the majority of people” are broke How did you get on their email list in the 1st place? You had to have subscribed somehow so how is it crap Don’t have to respond to that, just something to be curious about

[@wowservices6822]

[@tomsola]

7 Key Takeaways: 1)Building a large audience doesn't guarantee sales; you need a targeted approach. 2)The "Five Finger Funnel" consists of: Audience, Targeted Problem, List, Arouse, and Sell. 3)Niching down helps you become the go-to resource for a specific audience. 4)Building an email list around a targeted problem is more effective than general list-building. 5)Arousing your audience involves relatability, amplifying the problem, and creating urgency. 6)Emotional connection is crucial in moving people from interest to purchase. 7) Selling is a form of service when you truly believe in your product or solution.

[@khuladesignstudio1891]

Is it just me or does Pat sound like Graham Crochrane 🤔😏 the tone of voice and cadence is on point dont ya think?

[@yoursubconscious]

my biggest issue. I know it isn't true, but my brain still wants to believe it - "If I can do, why wouldn't someone else just do it? If I can sell it, why would anyone want to buy it if they can do it themselves?" this will not exit my brain, which makes me feel guilty for "taking" money from someone they could just do themselves. Anyone want to help brainwash me? haha😂

I'm an industrial designer and I'm busy moving from only doing consulting work to also launching some of my own products. I am very curious to hear more about your process for designing and launching the Switch Pod. It looks like a very well designed and developed product, but I know that that is only half the battle. The road to getting it people's hands is not easy.

[@BobbyDsouzamotivationalspeaker]

wonderful info Pat, what software or application you used to write on ur presentation in your handwriting

[@G_Signer]

Problem? Im not solving problems, how is that helpful? When i buy a tshirt im not solving problems and neither do others, you like it and buy

[@MrYoungzay]

Depends on why you’re buying it Even buying a t shirt could be solving a problem If you buy a new shirt cause most of your old ones are faded or dingy than you’re solving the problem of not wanting to walk around looking dingy or broke For people who buy name brand clothes they’re solving the problem of not wanting to look broke, like they don’t have status, of not fitting in with their friends, family or the people they find attractive who wear certain brand

Hi Pat. I have a site that is 5 months old. Is it possible to niche down too far and not have enough to write content about? I’ve been looking at GSC and the queries that are showing up. If I target those more I’ll wind up with tons of duplicate content in the eyes of Google. Ie. ‘Motivation with weight loss’, how many different angles can you cover about this?

[@bballiq8]

Consider your own problems. Then consider how someone else could theoretically help solve them for you. Then start asking other people if the idea makes sense and begin building it.

You won't be so aroused after coming across 5000 other videos, also rambling on and on about in their own convoluted way about how only "their" way works, when in reality it only worked for them ten years ago, when they stumbled across the ultra profitable niche of starting one-legged, underwater pogo stick hockey leagues for balding people

​@@HEALTHANDWEALTHCHANNEL-h6o I don't recall @PatFlynn saying his way is the only way. Im quite aware that there are lots of other folks giving advice online. I have followed Pat's work for quite some time and I trust his advice cause I have tried it first hand and got results.
