Thank you for your kind words but… none of that came from me, It has been all YOU! Your vote of confidence means I've done my job right. Now tell me where I can find like 1000 more of YOU?

Rock ON FreedomFlyer!

I create quality graphics to headline every article I write in addition to having an 'authoritative' site design. By doing so, it immediately establishes a certain level of trust and respect.

Consider the tale of 2 websites (click at your own risk):
1. http://www.dokimos.org/ajff/ (I call this death to your pupils)
2. http://www.apple.com/ (oooh…shiny!)

Even if they don't verbalize it, your potential clients are thinking “If this person neglects the small stuff…how can I trust 'em with the big stuff?”

One case in point is right before your eyes. Even the choice of text you're reading on this site right now lends to its authority and credibility. This font is associated with news media (i.e. print newspaper) and registers at a subconscious level “look at me, I can be trusted”.

Social Proof

When people find you, it's a magical discovery they made. When you find people (and try to talk to them), you're an interruption to whatever they were doing before you came along.

Desirable Offer

One way to make an offer believable as well is to “Move the free line” as Eben Pagan puts it. Give away your best content and people will immediately ask themselves…what else are they hiding in that $XX.xx box on their site?

Cheers to keeping it real

You make me remember my challenge with misspellings… I major authority killer.. when you mentioned “the small stuff”. I really believe that what things are perceived to be by your audience is the truth of what it is. Only there opinion matters and we as marketers must learn how to influence it to the study of human behavior.

You study from the masters . Thanks for the comment.

P.S. Go post all that lengthy stuff or your own blog next time (slacker).

You are an example in the affirmative that people are “getting it” and doing it way BIG! I am humbled and honored to be at your service Liz.

P.S. Thanks for the tip to “buy me a cup of cocoa!” it’s snowing tonight.

“The reason I advice my clients to create online prospect attracting systems leveraging their passion AND expertise is because you have to be perceived as an authority figure in order to influence a buy now decision.

Think of the most sought after surgeons and doctors in the world. People travel from all around the world to have the chance to work with them. The same is true for experts in other fields as well. No one dares to negotiate price nor question your expertise.

Why? Because you don’t question the authority of a specialist especially if they can looking for you.”

Absolutely i agree with this and alot of people i think miss the point here where they feel and have been trained that they have to fake it till they make it which really does not cut it these days online and i myself when i became truelly authentic and was being myself without the pretences i actually started to make sales like i can't believe.
Instead of trying to be a guru wanna-be or a “social media” rockstar i truely believe if people do use there own REAL story or strong points they would find the internet a much more friendly place to be and that people will come to you and be knocking your door down.
Malika you are rocking it and your advise and guidance to me over the past month or is it more 6 weeks has been invaulable.My site http://www.thefreedomflyer.com would not be possible without your sponsoring and i am posting the interview today that i did with your wonderful self so that i hope people truelly get behind the powerful message you have that will assist people to move from a place of loss and fear to one of power,inspiration and possibilities.
Thankyou again awesome women.And keep that gorgeous smile and infectious warm personality shining through.
