5 Ways Your Business Can Stand Out From Everyone Else
As we speak, there are 900 million websites, 250 million blogs, and 175,000 blogs being added everyday. To say there’s a lot of competition is an understatement.
Many people start a website in hopes of building an online business that supports their family. They work hard at this website with excitement for months. After not making traction, not getting many visitors, and not making any money, they quit in frustration.
As the months go on, they tell themself there’s too much competition. While this may be true, there are ways for your business to stand out from the crowd. There are ways to start small and build a business that supports your family.
It took three years, but at the end of 2012 I was able to celebrate my “freedom date.” It took three years, but if I knew back then, what I know now, it would have been a lot sooner.
As you’re reading this I want you to know that no matter where you’re at in the process, you can build a business that supports your family. It’s not going to be easy, but it is possible. Here are five ways you can stand out from all the competition.
1. Don’t take for granted what you know
The thing that I hear constantly, and what I know some reading this are thinking, is “why would anyone listen to me, plenty of people are already saying this.”
We live in a time when there’s a lot of information. However, you would be surprised by what people know. The topic that you think has been covered enough hasn’t. If you are in this online space then there’s a lot of things we all know and get tired of hearing. People that aren’t in this online space don’t know what we see everyday.
I’ll give you an example. Have you ever heard of John Maxwell? Probably everyone said yes. John Maxwell was trying to put on an event here in Maui, but the organizers shot it down because regular people here have no clue who he is. The same goes for any big online person you can name.
We know them, and are used to them, but the non-online world person has NO clue who these people are. If you said Brad Pitt, that’s a different story. You may know someone, your blogger friend might know something, but a majority of people don’t, and need you to teach them. You can still teach your topic to a HUGE audience that hasn’t heard it or hasn’t heard it in the way you teach it.
2. Your personality
Each of us is different and unique, and special in our own way. We have different styles and different ways of doing things. The problem is that too many people try to copy an A-Lister and end up looking like a clone. If you want to stand out, embrace what makes you who you are. People will respond to you, not the shadow of someone else.
3. Your experience
We all have experienced certain things in life. It’s very likely that’s the thing your business teaches. Share and teach from your experience, and from your perspective. It will be different than anyone else’s and you will stand out.
4. Your call to action
What you want someone to do when they visit your website can, and should be different than anyone else. There are some basic things we all want: people to sign up for our email list, buy our products, and so on. The way we tell them how to do that should be our own way.
5. Your motives
The world of Internet marketing would be a great place if everyone had good motives. We all know that not everyone does. If you come from a place of service, you will stand out. If your goal is helping first, not money, you will stand out. Approach this with the right motives because people can smell the wrong ones from miles away.
If you’ve been on this journey for a while without much progress, please don’t be discouraged. Your time is coming, and if you add value to people’s lives, you will reap the rewards. This week focus on how you can be different and stand out. Uses these five principles as a guide.
