Do walk alongs in order. This is number 1.
Would you rather enroll under a rock or a real person that is honest?
See my picture over there ===========>
That is the exact same picture I have been using online for 15 years!
The first thing you want to do is choose some sort of image and NEVER change it.
Use that exact same image whenever you can, wherever you can, on whatever pages you may create.
Now take a look at my user name ===========>
Never refrain from the same user name. The only time you should change your user name is when it
is already taken. IF it is already taken, again, never refrain from your second user name.
When my user name is taken, I have a couple of others that I will use. I've been doing this for 15 years.
I never refrain from those user names if I can help it.
Are you camera shy? If so, look in your photo album and find a good picture of your dog, your cat, or
something that you will always use.
When people see my picture, they know who I am don't they?
Well yes, they will if they have seen my picture before.
They know I am a real person.
What is someone is wandering around looking for a sponsor and they see my user name?
They might say 'oh that's probably Valerie, I know her, I will go ahead and sign up'.
Stop changing images of yourself and stop changing user names.
People don't really care what you look like. We're all human and we all have flaws. In marketing
we're not out to win a beauty contest and none of us are concerned about what you look like. What
we are concerned about is knowing that you are human and recognizing you. We don't want to sign
up with cheaters or robots or fake people or not know if it's really legit, do we? No. So we are going
to go with recognition whenever possible.
Here is a scenario for you...
John visits ClixSense and he has never heard of it before. He briefly looks at it and leaves.
A few days later John sees a web page that has a picture of someone on it, he has seen that same
person's picture before. The web page he views is relaying info about ClixSense. John clicks the
link and signs up. Why did John sign up now but did not sign up before? Did he recognize the
picture of the owner of the page? Did that help in getting John to read more about the info?
Did that help in getting John to sign up? The answer is probably YES.
When you see a program over and over and over and over again, what happens?
You RECOGNIZE it don't you? Of course you do because you have seen it over and over again.
Something so very simple but still, most people don't do it. Stick to a pic, put that pic on whatever
you do, stick to a user name, always use that same user name.
Another thing about user names....try to make your user name simple and memorable.
Let's look at these user names:
ka12c9jlmd7
valerie
Which one of those user names will you remember?
Which one of those user names can you pronounce?
Which one of those user names are you most likely to recognize?
What else can you do for recognition?
Name, first and last, country, state.
What about this ========>
It says USA doesn't it? Yep.
When you put your real fist name, real last name, real country, real state, same user name, same state...
on a page and you do this as often as you can with everything you do, eventually people are going to
RECOGNIZE YOU.
Unless you are a cheater, got something to hide, then why hide?
Use recognition to your advantage.
So even if you are camera shy, don't want to put your face online....use a baby picture of you, use
your favorite pet photo....just remember, whatever pic you use, make sure it is one you can live with
online and never change it.
Go now, grab a pic, upload it to your puter. You'll need it in future walk alongs.
