When you first start out online, and you have no results to share, it can be quite frustrating because you have no results.
There are people who lie about their results and pretend to be making $50K per month when they are not.
I do not recommend that you do this because it will come back to bite you one day!
So what should you do in those early days when you have no results?
Should you fake it till you make it?
Here’s what you should do and this is EXACTLY what I have been implementing in my business. This strategy helped me to make my first sales when I was new online so I know it works!
Leverage other people’s success stories!
Find some key people in your company or program who are achieving and talk about their successes!
Share these stories on your Youtube channel, your blog and all your social media networks.
(Make sure that you always leave your links to your product where ever you have placed these stories. Not doing this will defeat the whole purpose of this strategy).
It’s about perception…
It’s all about how people perceive and when you identify with successful people, people start to see you as a successful person and would want to identify with you.
This is the same formula that I used when I started out with Empower Network. When I first started, I hadn’t made any money so I didn’t have any results to back me up.
So I implemented the strategy I’ve just talked about in this article and starting getting my initial sales and then had my first $1K day.
Once you start getting your initial results, it’s important that you start talking about your results.
When I started making my initial sales, I started sharing my OWN results in addition to other people’s success stories.
That created more sales and signups!
Now this bit is very key and can result in explosive results.
When you start getting your own results and you start helping other people get results, you should start talking about the results of the people you have helped.
This is a very powerful form of social proof that what you are doing works indeed.
More people will be drawn to your offer when they see that people who have bought your product or service are actually getting results from your product.
To summarize this strategy in a nutshell, this is the step by step process:
1. Leverage other people’s success stories till you start getting some results yourself.
2. Talk about your results as soon as you start getting your own results.
3. Share the results of the people you have helped as soon as they start to get results.
Finally, always remember that everybody started from somewhere. Even the 7-figure earners in this industry started from day one.
So there is no excuse why you should not get the results you desire!
Over to you….
If you are new online or even if you are an internet marketing veteran, I would love to know what strategies you implemented to create your initial results.

P.S. I did a video about this subject a few months ago and I think you’ll find it useful.

Great article Ruth, I see a lot of newbie marketers try to “fake it till you make” but people are able to see through it. It is best to live off the success stories in your company until you start making your own. Facts Tell & Story Sell…

Hey Ryan, thanks for stopping by my blog. It’s all about leveraging what you have to create your success story.
Hey Ruth, great idea on this. I know it was hard for me to come up with material when I was a beginner and I could image how hard it would be for newbies. I agree with Ryan and live off of the success stories of people in your company.

Hey Sherman, we all go through that newbie phase and it’s always a great to see people who have crossed over it successfully. A lot of people never get past it and quit.
Excellent advice Ruth! We couldn’t agree more with all of the above…Facts tell, stories sell and leveraging others success stories is truly the best way to get results until you start producing yourself. Proven time and time again. Some try to reinvent the wheel or lie like you said and it’s a shame because they’re the ones who fail and then blame others instead of just following what has been proven to work. Thanks for sharing these golden nuggets! Keep Rockin’!
