So why does the book become famous?
Is there any secret to getting rich in it? Well, indeed, it is not about secrets to becoming rich, it is about how to build a source of loyal customers for your business, especially start-ups which struggle to find a network of clients.
Before investigating the book, let me tell you a story. We often hear a saying that “Money in the list”, right? As a result, we usually go in this way when we start our business – generate leads, gather emails, and build a list of “customers” who might not actually be our customers.
Then, we send emails to them and advertise something to sell our products. This seems to be the right way, but what happens?
Our customers even don’t know about us; they don’t care about our emails. They consider us to be spammers and even report us. Then? We lose. Why? Because they are not our audiences. So what? Well, building relationships with them is the key. That is, we need to send them something for free, like free e-books, along with a blog we created to provide them with valuable content if they need to search for it. Accordingly, we start to build a relationship that is strengthened day by day, though we still have no sales. But, at that time, we can use this source of customers to convert to sales.
The point here is “The Marketing Message”. So, Expert Secrets helps you to do these things through three steps: Find your message, Form a tribe, and Make a difference in the world.
But what exactly an expert is?
Expert Secrets says that you will become an expert when you know something special and you can teach it to everybody. But many of us think that we don’t know anything. However, when you begin to read books, research, and practice with what you’ve learned, and as a result, you’ve acquired the title of EXPERT.
As mentioned above, the message is really powerful. It can be used to pique people’s curiosity, enhance desire, receive attention, and sell products. However, learning how to employ the correct information moment is more significant. Therefore, Expert Secrets is here to help you.
