Memory and Success: How to Create Success by Understanding Memory

Remember that old familiar saying, "Out of sight, out of mind?" and the opposite saying, "Familiarity breeds contempt?" Well, in this modern world of online social networking and building a powerfully successful online business, it seems that the first saying holds the most relevance. So many people and businesses are vying for attention, clamoring to grab their piece of the money pie that is constantly being dangled by super online marketers.

On the web, in the social networking world, familiarity breeds income and often unimaginable success. Opportunities to participate in high paying joint ventures, affiliate marketing, speaking engagements, high priced consultation fees, expensive products and programs. The more familiar you become, the more likely you will be to receive lots of residual income, even when you are on vacation, enjolying time with your family and friends, participating in some leisure activity, or even sleeping.

One key to the success of the super marketers is that they have mastered the minds of others by knowing something about memory, about the way the mind works and the way people remember. Research has indicated that there are five basic keys to help you create such an onlne presence that people can't help but remember you. Apply these simple concepts and you may be amazed at the results in your business and in your life.

--The first event that happens is the most easily remembered. Be the first to present a concept, a type of product, an image, an emotion - or - present an old item in a new way.

--Repetition, repetition, repetition. Repeat your offer, your product, your advice, your solution - over and over and over again. Create blogs, articles, videos, more blogs, more videos. Send emails, enroll people in your free teleseminars, give free ebooks, free bonus reports, invite your prospects to an event, interview another well known entrepeneur, get interviewed on blogtalkradio, send more emails, create more articles, videos, blogs, etc., etc. etc. Put yourself out there on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and hundreds of other sites. And don't stop keeping your material fresh and your presence alive online.

--Be unusual, unique, clever, different, even strange. Novelty, surprise and even shock bring attention. Grab people's attention. Make sure that you do not appear ordinary. Make sure you stand out. Create a cooky video, an eye catching logo, a shocking headline.

--Be personal. Treat all your online communications as if you are talking to a close, intimate, trusted friend. Share yourself authentically. Sound real, sensitive, knowledgeable and caring. Don't be afraid to show your insecurities or flaws. In fact, freely reveal your flaws so that people feel that you are like them and they think they can trust you.

--Send another announcement, email blast, link - TODAY. If you did it yesterday, great. But do it again today. People remember things that happened most recently. Be continually current. Put yourself in the news NOW

To build a successful business and then to maintain your success, follow the above simple rules of memory. Get people to know, like and trust you and then put yourself right in front of them in as many ways and as frequently as you can. And if you did it yesterday, do it again today.

Comment by Maria Horn on September 28, 2009 at 4:13pm: Thank you for the post, I can see the point, but must confess that reading some promotional material repeating it self interminable ready do bore me. Putting in the work of getting your name and / or product out there is the only way to reach and influence total strangers to react in a positives manner to you. But please do it in a innovative and interesting way.

Comment by Veejay on September 28, 2009 at 7:21am: That's why entrepreneurs are entrpreneurs - because they have all these amazing skills. By the time I have learned how to do all these wonderfully eye-catcing, attention-drawing skills, I shall be in my box and oblivious of the commotion I may have caused. This will let everyone down, and I won't even have taken their money!

Comment by Willie E Gardner on September 28, 2009 at 2:24am: Wow, Thanks a lot for making that so plain. I find myself in the situation where i'm just not doing enough. Thanks again, that was brilliant.

Comment by Mitch & Ashley on September 27, 2009 at 11:51pm: Success is not an accident! I've been fortunate enough to enjoy recognition in three very different career paths. The common denominator has always been a strong belief, solid plan and exceptional execution. Thanks for sharing your roadmap. Cheers!

Comment by Robert Sloan on September 26, 2009 at 7:16pm: Excellent article! I read the title and thought "Egad, I sure hope not, because my memory is like a steel trap. It mangles anything that gets into it." But this turned out to be more about how to make myself memorable to my online readers rather than whether I'm any good at remembering anything other than plot details and continuity elements in a novel.

I find it easier to remember that a given character snores or likes wearing green than whether I need to eat or what I did with my spoon -- or my art supplies.

Which goes to show all these points you make are vitally important. People with bad memories still remember you if you are familiar enough and something about who you are online stands out as unusual.

Very lovely writing..and by my opinion truthful;maybe a dilemma about how many times and how frequent to post your links,messages and everything else to get people to read what you did,but mostly i accept your thinking to be right-the more you repeat it the more chances you get others to be interested in and become more familiar with you.Thanks
