MOBE Training: Two Things You Should Do to Protect Your Business Assets



MOBE Training: Two Things You Should Do to Protect Your Business Assets
A lot of small business owners will neglect protecting their assets until a claim against them arise; a useless and dangerous move, because if you transfer assets after a claim is made, it can be viewed as fraudulent, raising other claims and charges against you. The best time to protect your assets is now, when there are no claims against you, hence you are not forced into hasty decisions of making assets transfers that may turn sour on you in future. Below are a two ways you can protect your business assets.

      1)      Form A Limited Liability Company (LLC)

An LLC is a business structure where you cannot be held personally accountable for your business’s liabilities and debts. In an LLC, you need to have a separate account for your personal assets, and only conduct business in the company name, instead of your own.

The LLC protects your personal assets from your business liabilities and vice versa. If you have personal debts and the creditors seek to seize your asses, an LLC may help keep your business assets safe.

Be careful not to try to shield your personal assets from your personal creditors by putting them into your LLC’s account because the creditors can claim your LLC as an ‘alter ego’ of you and come after your business assets too.

      2)      Get Insurance

Insurance is one of the most important type of protection you can have for your business. There are so many things that can happen which can cause a lot of problems for your business. Your employee might get injured at work and decide to sue, your product might cause harm to a customer, a fire might break out and destroy all your machinery. All this will set your business back a lot, it can cause loss of productivity, thus loss of profit. Insurance can help recover some of these losses, and the impact to your business won’t be as severe.

Final Thought

Neglecting to protect your assets is setting your business up for problems in the future. The array of things that can happen is so large you can never predict and avoid every single one of them, so it is better to always be protected.

Social media platforms are a good place to generate traffic for your website, but they are also a great place to directly get buyers. Have several social media platforms, build your audience, and start developing a relationship with them before you can expect to get buyers. When your audience have accepted you as someone who knows something they don’t, and are willing to listen to you, then you can start preparing then to buy.

For example, if you are promoting MOBE training tools and products, you should make your post about how your audience can earn money online, the skills they need to be successful in affiliate marketing, and other topics along that line. Your goal is still to sell, so alternate informative posts with links to your offers.
Ask Relevant Questions
Questions are a great way to get engagement in social media. Be careful of the type of questions you ask, least your compromise your position in the audience’s mind. You want your audience to view you as an expert and adviser. Do not ask the audience for solutions. Your questions should imply that you are trying to offer them expert help and advice. For example, ‘Do You want to know how you can leave your job and earn a six figure salary?’ the go on to explain how they can earn money with the MOBE affiliate program.

Conclusion
The key to getting conversion from social media is consistency and engagement. Craft intelligent, informative posts that gets your audience talking about and interested in your posts. Be quick in responding to page followers, and respect varied opinions your will encounter in your page.

MOBE Training: Boost Your Social Media Engagement with These Tips



A large Facebook following or huge Twitter fans means nothing when your fans do not interact with your page. To be able to sell the MOBE training tools for small businesses you promote, your fans should be fully engaged and communicate well with you. If fans are not communicating, it means they are not receiving well the necessary information that influences their purchase decisions.  This MOBE training guide will show you three effective ways to get your audience more engaged.

      1)      Use Emotions

Constructing a well-written content is great, but it needs to evoke emotions from readers for them to share it. Find a way to relate your products to their interests, and capitalize on it. You can add links and videos that will make people curious to find out where your post leads to.

Use particular words to elicit action from your audience. For example, using “boost” will make a reader think of their current situation and/or those of their networks, and how what you are promoting might help them improve it. And once they find your post appealing, they would, in turn, share it with their friends.

      2)      Use Images

Pictures are a simple and attractive way to capture an audience’s attention. It is easier and faster for people to process images, plus images can also help strengthen your message.

Even if you developed the most amazing, thought-provoking content ever, it is almost impossible to stand out in the never ending stream of posts that come through users’ timelines every minute. Adding a picture makes it much easier to catch attention and be noticed.

Use pictures that match your content and satisfy at least one of the aforementioned motivators for sharing. Pictures should have a unique story in relation to your content. So, avoid generic stock pictures that would make it difficult for your users gauge your message.

      3)      Use Videos

Facebook’s autoplay function makes videos even more attention grabbing, because when they appear in a user’s timeline, the picture starts moving. This draws in users and they might watch the video, and if it is interesting enough, they will probably share it.

Share inspirational videos that actually offer users a benefit, rather than just continual sales messages. People are likely to share this types of videos more because they feel it offers something of value that their friends and followers should also benefit from.

Gross Margin
Gross margin is your company’s total sales revenue minus the cost of goods sold, divided by total sales revenue percentage. It details the percentage total of sales revenue your company gets to keep after subtracting your cost of production. The higher the percentage, the more your company gets to keep on each sale.

Understanding them and knowing how each concept can benefit your business will help you improve the way you make strategic financial decisions, thus not only keeping your business afloat, but actually generating great profit that opens opportunity for business growth.

Matt Lloyd On Top Tier Traffic

‘Top tier traffic’ is a phrase largely thrown around by traffic vendors when they advertise their service. It is quite an ambiguous word that depends on the user’s intentions. In most cases the implication is that the traffic you get is of higher quality than your usual traffic. It could mean the traffic you are getting is from a country classed as ‘tier one’ because of possible high conversion rates.


Matt Lloyd advice's not to get too caught up with words and labels like that as most of the times the traffic you are getting is just like any other traffic. He advises focusing on getting quality, targeted traffic that is right for your particular offer.

Good Traffic

But how do you know if the traffic is good? Matt Lloyd says the question you should ask yourself to determine if the traffic is good is ‘did I make any sales from this traffic?’. Matt Lloyd says you should evaluate the results of the traffic after 90 days to determine the answer.

This is in accordance with you taking your responsibility. You should be adding the leads you got from the traffic to your lists, then follow up with those leads to build a relationship.

After you have taken all the necessary effort, and you still have not made sales after 90 days, Matt Lloyd advice's looking into two things. First you want to consider whether the traffic was right for your offer, was it the right target with the right purchasing power?

Secondly, Matt Lloyd suggests looking at your processes. Evaluate your ability to convert, and find out what you can do better, if indeed the traffic is right for your offer. You want to look at your follow-up process, how often did you email them? Was your copy clear and detailed? Did you form a relationship where those people trust you enough to buy from you? You have to perfect your sales funnel and follow-up processes to facilitate and encourage conversion.

Conclusion

Often when people do not get results after buying traffic, it largely lies on their shoulders. It is possible that the traffic you bought was not right for your offers, but if you bought from a reputable vendor offering genuine traffic, it could be that you did not do enough to get the leads to convert.
