12 - Freemium Is The Way To Go When You Have No Funds (BONUS Ep 12)

In this episode Keith Keller tells Laura Waage about one of his biggest business mistakes and how he overcame it.... 

Laura: All right Keith. I’m going to ask you a question that’s going to get a little up close and personal but I think it really helps people to kind of know where we’ve been and what mistakes we’ve made. So what is the biggest mistake that you’ve ever made in your online business? How did you overcome it?

Keith: Well, I think the biggest mistake is that I waited too long. That is a bit of a lame answer really. But I didn’t start until I was 40. Can you believe it? Forty years old. I’m just getting my mojo now. But for 20 years, I hid out. I didn’t take the jump. I didn’t trust myself.

Look, I absolutely want to leverage this idea. If you’ve got an idea, if you think you’ve got something that’s worth doing, do it. Jump in, because I waited for 20 years and I had so many crappy jobs. Torturous, mind-numbing jobs.

I could have given up. I just could have gone off the rails. Luckily, I did jump but it took me until I was 40. So I think my biggest mistake in general is the idea that I just took too long.

Luckily, I’m making up for that. I’m 48 years old now and I’ve been working my guts out for eight years and I sort of caught up to where I could have been had I have jumped in when I was 20, 22.

We got this really cool Marty McFly question coming up in a minute and I can’t wait to answer that one because that was my time period. 1985 I moved to Melbourne. I had a crappy job. I hated it! I hated it! But I was too scared to leave and that’s the biggest mistakes. I was just riddled with fear.

If I was going to go back, I would have to change that. But that’s it. Taking too long to start, not trusting myself and eventually the only way I could solve the problem was I just – I jumped in. On my 40th birthday, I just took the plunge.

Laura: Yeah, and a lot of times, that’s what it comes down to. There’s another book and we’ve talked about some different books. But there’s a great book called Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway.

Keith: Yeah, that’s my second favorite book.

Laura: Yeah, and it is. It’s so true that fear stops a lot of people dead in their tracks and they live a life and then get to the end of it and they’ve had some fun along the way but they have more regrets than anything else. I think that that’s a big part of it.

Fear really fills life with regret because we let it stop us from doing the things that we want to do. So it’s so great to hear that that was your biggest mistake, the fact that you did overcome it and it is phenomenal that in the last eight years, you have more than made up for it. It’s just awesome.

Keith: I’m a late starter but I’m getting my mojo. I’m getting moving!

"HOW TO" Make Twitter Work For Your Business

CRACK THE TWITTER CODE & “GO GLOBAL”  Part 2 of the interview with Paperli With Liz Wilson in Switzerland. 

(1) Sharing Is Better Than Chocolate 


In the social media space and in Twitter in particular, you really need to get your head around this idea of sharing first and being a resource for others. This is very, very important if you want to gain the trust of your tribe, your followers. So you really need to understand that social media, that Twitter in particular, is about sharing. Sharing first then building trust then moving it forward.

(2) The 80-20 Rule


It’s not all about you. In part 1, we talked about the importance of sharing and now I’d like to share with you a bit of a formula for that, the 80-20 rule. So if you tweet five times a day or once a day, five days a week, I’d like you to explore the idea of tweeting four out of five times for your tribe, for others and only one time out of five about you. No one really cares what you’re doing today and no one wants to get your spamming messages all the time. So remember, the 80-20 rule. It’s not all about you.

(3) Connecting With People That You Don’t YET Know


This is a very, very important paradigm to get because if you think that Twitter and Facebook and these types of things are for meeting people that you know already that you went to school with 20 years ago, then don’t use it for business, use it for fun. I teach you to tweet for business. If you want to get traction in the Twitter-verse, I really want you to open up to the idea that there are seven billion beings in the world and 500 million of them are on Twitter. So social media is for meeting people that you don’t yet know.

(4) Be Authentic – Find Your Niche


This is especially important in Twitter. In Twitter, you can use power words, we call them hash tags to magnify, to magnetize, to gravitate towards your followers. People will gravitate towards certain keywords and the best way to start really honing in on those words is to focus. Focus on your target market, be authentic to who you are, and really speak to the people that you want to follow you. Be authentic and find your niche.

(5) Automation Tools Can Save You Time


Now, this is a very contentious issue, but I do believe the most beneficial part of using Twitter. You can schedule your tweets ahead of time. Now, that might sound counterintuitive and if it does, just remember that if you don’t do this, you are doomed to tweet in real time as long as you use Twitter. Now if you can cope with that, that’s fine, that’s beautiful, and that’s probably preferable, but it’s not possible in a busy life.

So there are several really great scheduling tools that allow you to schedule your tweets throughout the day so that you can go and work and pick up the kids and cook the meal and do all the things that we do as human beings. You can use your tweets to maximize your reach and maximize your potential.
