My First Online Marketing Product

"Almost all of those eBooks about making money online have one solution in common. In order to succeed online, you have to create and sell your own information products.That is it in a nutshell.Write your own eBooks and sell them.Best of all, get OTHERS to sell them." (email from Paula Brett, Mon, Apr 12, 2010.Paula is the wonderful Helpdesk person for those doing John Thornhill's Masterclass - something I strongly recommend you do.Finding a product has been by biggest anxiety and 'discourage-er' in my online marketing efforts.All the ramifications are mind-blowing.One I tried was reviewing and recommending various guitar courses.Using PPC I even got on page 1 of Google.No sales.Best keywords for Do-It-Yourself? No sales.Etc.Now I have thought of 'it' - I am an expert when it comes to knowing how it feels to be anxious, so my 'it' is "Anxiety".Having decided the material just keeps leaping out at me.It is the same as when somebody says have you seen the new red Volkswagen - suddenly there are new red Volkswagens everywhere.I communicated my plan to my fellow Masterclass students.The encouraging comments and actual material I can use (the anxieties of Masterclass-ers) just keep coming.Next there was an interesting article in the Brisbane Courier Mail entitled "Anxiety can serve us well" (April 6, 2010).Since the Courier Mail is a Rupert Murdoch paper the article may have appeared in London, New York and Moscow too for all I know.Since I thought it a good article I will discuss it here.The author is Barton Goldsmith.There was no further information on Barton in the paper, but, in the Google age I soon found the following.."Dr Barton Goldsmith is a California-based marriage and family therapist and the author of Emotional Fitness at Work.".He begins by saying "Many people think they should live anxiety-free.Not so.Anxiety is part of the human condition.".He goes on to cover the following ideas..It is important to remember (anxiety-creating) challenges lead to growth and development as human beings.(My thought. I guess we were all anxious about leaving our mothers on our first day of school.If we had not met and overcome this anxiety I suppose we would remain emotional 5-year-olds).Anxiety lets us know when something is not quite right for us.(Bit tricky, this one.When is it 'not quite right' and when are we just 'chickening out').The trick is to learn to use anxiety in positive ways.The first thing is to imagine what the payoff will be when you surmount this challenge.(This relates to what Dr.Dyer has been saying in his book "Excuses Begone!).Feeling excited/scared can be fun.Think of dates when you were young or going on certain rides in a fun park.This is definitely anxiety most of us enjoy.But if we are anxious pretty much the whole time it is a different story and we should do something about it.(My problem for most of my adult life, but definitely not something we were encouraged to 'do something about'.The family doctor would just tell you to get on with life, which I guess is pretty good advice anyway, but it would have been nice to have been given a few strategies for doing this).Your confidence can be shaken to the core and you can be blinded by fear.Dr Goldsmith says one of the best tools for dealing with this is to imagine the worst, then the best, then imagine what is most likely to happen and hold onto that thought.When anxiety strikes remember that you have dealt with similar occurrences before and that you have the tools to get through this one.Sit down, take a few deep breaths and think through what is worrying you.Chances are you already have the answers you need and when you calm down you will see them.(When I think one of my chief anxieties in life - not enough money - I can see that nothing really bad has happened because of lack of money.I have never been hungry, never lost my house, etc.So what has been the use of my anxiety?).Really we should almost embrace anxiety, I guess, because without it life would be flat and meaningless and boring.Embracing it in the right way is the trick, I am sure.We need the right strategies.And since some people say they do not suffer much from anxiety what can we learn from these and experts such as Dr Wayne Dyer? Plenty.He has seven questions for ridding ourselves of an excuse-ridden (and anxious) life.I thoroughly recommend you read the book because an in-depth look at his seven questions is beyond the scope of this essay.However, here are the questions..1) Is it true? He suggests the vast majority of the thoughts that run through our minds each day are untrue (especially those we use to make excuses).He gives ways of riding ourselves of these thoughts.2) Where did the excuses come from? He says we should identify the source of our excuses and cut ourselves off from it.3) What is the payoff? We find we get some kind of payoff from using these excuses, such as not 'really' failing.We need to eliminate it.4) What would my life look like if I could not use these excuses? This one is fairly self-explanatory, I think.5) Can I create a rational reason for change? He gives four criteria. (i) it must make sense; (ii) It must be doable (iii) It must allow you to feel good.(iv) It must be aligned with the callings of your soul.6) Can I access universal cooperation in shedding old habits? Dr Dyer says the 'Cardinal Virtues' that come from God are..A) Reverence for life.B) Natural sincerity.C) Gentleness.D) Supportiveness.We need to strive to make these part of our being.7) Having 'made it' how do I continuously reinforce this new way of being? Again, self-explanatory, I think.Of course I can only give you the barest bones on what Dr Dyer has to say.I really do recommend you buy his books for yourself.The two I have read (and am reading) are available from Amazon and you can find them on my blog.I will have my book ready by the end of June on how to deal with your anxiety.I intend to then turn it into a video and set up a membership site (since I think anxiety is a lifelong affair, 'treatment' needs to be ongoing).You can check on progress by going to my blog address.Of course, there are a million books and articles on anxiety and how to deal with it.Will mine be any different or better?Yes - it will be my relationship with the reader, and that will be unique.Paul.

Born to Be Anxious

Some of my readers may remember a song "Born to be Wild" which we used to belt out at parties a very long time ago.I could go off and Google who used to sing it and when, but I want to stick to the subject of this post.It seems some of us are born worriers."Born to be Anxious".Your mothers also perhaps used to say things like "Paul is not good at Math"; "Paul always gets upset when.", etc.And because your Mum said it, you knew it must be true.And while I don't remember my Mum actually saying this, another thing they could say was "Paul is a born worrier".I came across an article in the weekend magazine of The Courier Mail (Saturday 24 April 2010) by Robin Marantz Henig entitled born worriers.In it he discusses the work (begun 1989) of Professor Jerome Kagan of Harvard University.He decided to submit babies to 'worrying' experiences (unfamiliar happenings such as new sounds or voices or toys or smells).The first 18 babies showed no special reaction, but Baby 19 got really agitated.She showed it by "flailing her legs, arching her back and crying." When baby 19 was 15 she described her struggles with anxiety. ".A horrible dread at the pit of my stomach.A sense of the insecurity of life.".At school she had few extra-curricular activities "but likes writing and playing the violin".The interviewer asked her what she worried about."When I don't know quite what to do and it's really frustrating and I feel really uncomfortable, especially if other people round me know what they're doing.I'm always thinking, should I go here? Should I go there? Am I in someone's way? I worry about things like getting projects done.I think, will I get it done? How am I going to do it? If I'm going to be in a big crowd, it makes me nervous about what I'm going to do and say and about what other people are going to do and say.".Kagan had many other such children who displayed the worried signs as infants and who would grow up to be highly anxious adolescents and adults.Henig goes on to say that in this "Age of Anxiety" most people can begin to feel overwrought by many of the issues such as stagnant retirement funds and global warming, but some people, no matter how strong their stock portfolios or how healthy their children, are always preparing for doom.Two further studies at Harvard and the University of Maryland have reached similar conclusions. babies differ according to their temperament; 15 to 20 per cent of them will react strongly to novel people or situations and these strongly reactive babies are more likely to grow up to be anxious.Many babies in Kagan's original study, like baby 19, are now in their twenties and no matter how they manage to avoid looking anxious to outsiders, 'fears still rattle in their skulls'.As Henig says, anxiety is not exactly the same as fear, because fear is focussed on something present to you, whereas anxiety is a 'generalised sense of dread about something out there that seems menacing - but that in truth is not menacing, and may not even be out there.If you're anxious, you find it difficult to talk yourself out of this foreboding; you become trapped in an endless loop of what-ifs'.Further findings from the studies..Children who had been highly reactive at age four were four times as likely to be behaviorally inhibited as those who were low reactive.At age seven, half the jittery babies had developed symptoms of anxiety - fear of thunder or dogs or darkness, extreme shyness in the classroom or playground - compared to just 10 percent of the low reactive babies.The children tended to get a better grip as they got older and could work out their anxieties in niches such as say becoming a ballet dancer.They may be highly conscientious and self-controlled.One thirteen year old in the study wrote. "Inner struggles pulled at me for years until I was able to just let go and calm myself.Because I now understand my pre-disposition to anxiety, I can talk myself out of simple fears.As far as being able to predict how the anxiety-prone "Baby-19's" of this world will grow up, Henig says the predictive power works in one direction.Not what they will become, but not what they will not.All you can say with some certainty is that they "will not grow up to be exuberant, outgoing, bubbly or bold."Baby 19? She is at uni and doing pretty well, but, according to Kagan, she tends to be 'melancholy'.She is still a worrier.What does this mean for those of us who are "Born to be Anxious?".We can do something about it, but I know for me it is a case of it all being a daily battle.I can now (but this has not always been the case) think of what our 13-year-old said and act upon it. Because I now understand my pre-disposition to anxiety, I can talk myself out of simple fears.To help me do this consistently I turn to books.I cannot wish you an anxiety-free day perhaps, but I hope you can control it.Paul.
