Five Questions That Will Help Spark New Ideas For Your Business

By Stu McLaren


The five questions I will get you to answer are going to ignite an idea reaction that will benefit your business, your products and services and yourself. With the amount of new ideas you will be generating I suggest that you either print off this article or grab a pen and paper before we begin.

Number one question: In the next seven days what can I do that will increase the number of people opting in to my squeeze pages? To increase my conversion rate? To increase the number of people promoting my products? What can I do in the next seven days to let my customers know I appreciate their business? In the next seven days how can I overdeliver to my customers?

Just think: In the next seven days, what can I do...and add in all those things. Decrease refunds? Increase response rate? Increase traffic?

Anything you want to improve, would be valuable if it increased can be substituted in there. Once you ask yourself that question allow it to sink in and your imagination will start to spit out ideas. Make sure you write them down!

Question number two: What marketing ideas are successfully being used in your industry?

Look at a business in your industry that is very successful and ask yourself what marketing strategies are they using that you could apply to your business?

Question three: Potential customers, what are five new ways to acquire them?

For most of us, we only acquire customers one way. Think about five new ways to do this instead of relying on the one method. Once you ask yourself this question and remember to record the multiple ideas you will have. Your business will only grow and grow, bringing in more revenue when these ideas are implemented.

Question four: What people do I know that would be able to assist me in converting my idea into reality and what can I do to make that as easy as possible for them?

That one question is an extremely powerful question. I have used that over and over to get all kinds of things in my business. You would not believe the power of that question and how I've applied it in my career.

Here it is again. What people do I know that would be able to assist me in converting my idea into reality and what can I do to make that as easy as possible for them? Extremely powerful question.

Number five question: For only $10, how could I wow blank?

Spending only $10 how could I wow my customers? For only $10 how could I wow my affiliates? My joint venture partners? Why not use this everywhere, spending only $10 how could I wow my girlfriend, boyfriend, spouse, friends?

It's an awesome formula. Use it to grow your business. Use it to take your money makers and turn them in to profit empires.

Look for Part Two of of this article with five more questions you should ask yourself to spark all kinds of new ideas for your business, if you got as much from this article as I did.

Until then
