“ The difference between successful people and others is their belief in themselves.”
The 7-Year Overnight Success: Are You Selling The Right Thing?
I stumbled on a YouTube video by Mark Lou that caught my attention.
The title: "My 7 Startups Made $68,140 in August (as a Solopreneur)"
I was curious ― who wouldn't be?
Mark Lou is a "build in public" type of solopreneur.
What is “build in public”?
Building in public means sharing your product or service's journey publicly.
It's a great marketing tool as well.
In the video Mark shared his monthly proceeds and that wasn’t all.
Actually, Mark has been developing micro webtools which made over $1-Million.
But get this...
It took him 27 products and 7 years to get there.
And of those 27 products, 10 actually made him revenue.
There's more...
80% of that $1-million was accomplished in the last year!
This proves why we don't give up too soon!
You have to keep pressing!
I could stop there but Mark dropped another gem for us.
He created a new product feature and shared it with his audience.
Then came the realization.
One Twitter post was a detailed product video and the other was a screenshot of numbers.
Which one do you think performed better?
The results were night and day.
The detailed Twitter post earned him $100 in 24-hours.
The screenshot post earned him $1,000 in 24-hours!
Staggering huh?
Have you heard the saying “sell the benefits, not the features”?
Using Mark’s words: Sell "pain-killers" not "vitamins".
Yes, vitamins are nice to haves, but "painkillers" solve immediate problems.
Catch my drift?
Question: Are you selling the right thing?
