Don't have an Income Story? I've got you covered.

So I was compelled to write this blog post today, because I feel that this is a topic that can hold a lot of folks back from promoting WA.
So when I first started my online journey, I used to watch other marketers talk about how they made $10K in this business and $20K in that business and I thought to myself.
"How in the world am I going to convince people to follow me"
"I don't have an Income Story to tell"
"I've made $0 dollars in 1 month"
Anyway, if you've ever had these thoughts, then I'll show ya how to overcome it shortly.
But ...
Truth is - people just need to connect with you on some level.
They need to draw similarities between you and them.
Which is why your About Me page is so important.
And just on that, people read your About Me page, because they're interested in YOU.
Yep Y.O.U.
If they reach you're About Me page, they want to see if you're the kind of person they could connect with.
Which is exactly what you do when you visit cool websites - right?
Yes you do.
Therefore you want them to say to themselves ...
- You know what? - that Guy / Gal is just like me.

- They seem to want the same things as me too.
(Financial freedom, income, work from home, etc etc)
- Maybe there's a chance I can do this. (Whatever they're doing)
- They're not like one of those Guru's either.
(who are just - like - so far removed from me - I mean Guru's - are like - so yesterday girl)
Snap snap
- What are they doing to get those results? (cause I want in - like a rubbish bin).
Don't hate on the rhymes :)
So how do you overcome an Income Story when you don't have one?
If you don't have the income results to show, then highlight what you do know.
Rank a page in Google.
Don't know how to do it?
Learn how to.
I mean there's plenty of info in WA that will teach you how to do this.
Easiest way to do it, is to find an easy to rank keyword phrase that relates to your niche in some way.
Just use a keyword tool like Jaaxy. Kyle shows you how to do it in a matter of minutes here.
Once it ranks, use that as one of your success stories - job done!
There's nothing more compelling than someone who doesn't know what they're doing who gets results.
Tell people where you learnt how to rank pages - and how they can do the same thing by following what you did.
And that's about it.
Anyway, I hope this helps you in some way.
Best,
Frank
