WARNING: 3 Ways To Be The Elephant Among The Monkeys…

Let’s take a look at how you can be the elephant among monkeys… What does this even mean? Well it means that you are the person they see when there is a ton of monkeys around you trying to get the attention of a potential audience. See, you are in a cage of monkeys, and you are a monkey…

So as you might understand… To get the attenion of the viewers you can’t act like a monkey… You have to be different, so here are 3 ways to be the elephant among the monkeys so you can get more attention then you competition.

#1 – The Title of Your Post Cannot Be Mundane – What I’m saying here is that we have seen your titles before. They are everywhere. Your “How To Make Money Online – Easy Tips” is not something unique. It’s EVERYWHERE posted by various monkeys all day long… So how do you, in fact, make it unique, yet don’t say something that’s irrelevant and instead piss people off?

Well you make sure that you continue with the overall theme of the post title. So, let’s take one of my successful articles for example.

It was saying something like:

“Unusual Way To Make $2,155.51 Online With a Shovel?”

Of course the article was simply about making money online… but that was the title. It got a lot more attention than “how to make money online”, do you see why? Good.

Try how you stick out, it’s crazy and freaky, but it has to be done in todays marketplace. Again you could be talking about how you were selling shovels online and made this amount of money. There’s always a Twist you can come up with.

#2 – Add some spicy personality – At the zoo, (Came off from Animal Channel that’s why I’m writing this) you will most liley pay attention to movement and activity. If a monkey is wearing a hat, I’m sure you’ll look at it and say, “Oh, look how cute!” It was a monkey, much like the other ones, but it had a hat? No difference, but the hat!

Get a hat…

A big BANG or something out of the ordinary will get attention, so be out of the ordinary. Everyone else saying “This product rocks“, say “3 flaws with product X and how to fix them in 7 minutes or less“..

Are they all saying “Is product X a scam?” Say, “12 reasons I would recommend product X to my grandmother…”

So what are we learning here? Well, you need to be what the monkeys are not… There’s always a way to come up with something unique and intriguing. Hopefully you understand this concept, at the core.

#3 Proooooooooooooooooooooooooooove what you are saying- Ok, listen to this idea… Proooooooooove what you are saying, when you say it. Demonstrate. Do it in front of them. Listen. The idea of the elevator would never have been released unless they would have demonstrated it. Nobody thought it would work and that people would die if the wires broke. You probably think that too…

Well, the truth is they don’t. There’s a mechanism in it that will allow the elevator to STOP at it’s place if the wires are broken. They had to DEMONSTRATE/PROVE this with a see through wall, and cut the elevator cord in order to get the elevator approved for production…

Same thing goes online. The most sales I’ve ever made is from “demonstrations” or “proof videos”… Hands down. Because it eliminates the thought of “does it really work”? You do it in front of them and DEMONSTRATE, thus proving your case.

These are some of the ways you can stick out and be different, but I think what we learned here is that you need to be a little bit controversial, different, unique and TRY DIFFERENT STUFF. Don’t be too scared to say negative things, or use weird words. People like that.

Ok, until next time… Please Re-Tweet =)
