Remember: You're in the Business of Helping
Hi WA fam,
I just wanted to let you know that my Amazon niche site that's 1 year and 4 months old suddenly got about 5 organic comments in 4 days.
And they were great too!
(With questions that really engaged me.)
Such an awesome feeling that my website is starting to gain authority and non-WA people do actually comment on it and seek my advice.
And then they come back and make your day:
Here's the thing:
I know that when we start out, money is all we think about.
Listen to Kyle when he says that you're in the business of helping, not selling. It pays off one way or another.
Over time I came to realize that on an energy level when we truly want to help people without trying to make a buck off of them every single time, the universe will be generous.
Example:
This month is a super slow one compared to previous few months.
Then I got these few comments and I made the intention that I will be helpful, not selling them anything.
Now...
Is it a coincidence that a day or two later I had over $5K in sales (from totally different people) that resulted in about $200-250 of commission in 1 day?
Maybe it is.
But I believe in the energies.
I believe that if you give without expecting, the universe will surprise you.
People will trust you.
Your business will thrive.
And you'll have a sense of satisfaction in your life.
Isn't that great?
Be kind. Be helpful. Be happy.
And as usual I finish my post with this motivational pic.
Dig your way to success!

Zarina, great talk my friend. That is my outlook on doing my website. I am all for 'help,' front and center.
When I start to think of making money. I tend to psychically weaken my motivation. Kyle is right, I knew coming in Kyle mentioned too many times we are here creating out website
"To serve."
Makes it easier from me to come from love. I look at the universe of people as my close friend. A friend I know from childhood.
When I come from that, man, the world bow down to me.
Weird Zarina, that's how my world seems to always turn out.
The engagement between me and them are so comfortable.
Thanks for your post Zarina, Your post is good stuff my friend!

I can totally relate to what you're saying here. Thanks for your input and your support. Appreciate it, Frank!
Wayyy to go!! You are so right. When we give with our heart we will have returns. Not always money but it too will come.
Wonderful post. Thank you so much.

Congratulations Zarina!!! That is great and you deserve it. I try to always provide value above all and let money come second. I hope that continues to help my business as I feel it already has.

Thank you, Jessica!! That's definitely a great approach and I'm sure it'll pay off! I'm sure your business will continue to grow, especially when you pump out quality content. Can't wait to see us make 5 and 6 figures eventually ;)
Thank you!!! I am trying to pick up the pace with content. I am taking heart in something I saw Kyle wrote about a 6 month lag. Whatever we do or don't do can have a long leg before we really see the results. I am hoping my work in recent months has not fully kicked into results yet. It has helped some already however so I know I am going in the right direction.
Yeah that's true, that's why patience is so crucial for entrepreneurs. But we've already seen some results, so we just gotta put in more work to get greater results :) Excited to hear about your progress, keep up the good work, Jessica!
Congratulations! I believe in what you are saying, the intention you have when you do things do come across to people. Also, it is much more fun when you act from that place of truly wanting to help and serve, rather than from a place of greediness. Keep up the good work!

Great result Zarina and I agree with you. I have an offline business too which would not have grown had I focused only on making money rather than providing solutions customers need.
I sometimes think my posts and reviews are not ‘salesy’ enough, but then I think about what would encourage me to buy online and it’s not a pushy sales pitch, it’s from helpful information written in a straightforward way.
Exactly, Ann! I know it's easy to get a bit sidetracked especially as a newbie but we always have to remember that our website visitors are real people.
However, be sure to have some call to action text or buttons. It doesn't mean you'll be salesy but rather getting them to at least click and get that cookie added on their computer :)
Oh yes I do that alright, it’s the BIG claims about products and flashy headlines I try to avoid
That's def smart!
