While selling subscriptions and building communities are relatively new concepts for the internet marketing world, the association industry has been doing these things well for more than 100 years.

Associations are groups of people with a similar interest. Think of the “Beef, It’s What’s For Dinner” ads you see on television. Those commercials are produced by the Cattlemen’s Beef Board, an association of cattle ranchers. There are more than a half-million associations, and they represent pool builders (American Pool and Spa Association), doctors (American Medical Association) and every industry you can think of. Associations provide education, newsletters, networking opportunities, members-only sites and in-person conventions. (Very similar to the types of products and services Internet marketers have started providing.)

Prospects… your business shrivels up without them.

But, even when you got them… odds are high they’re thinking  (excuse my french) “Bullshit” when they look at you and your offers.

In other words…

THEY DON’T BELIEVE YOU!

And that’s a big problem.  Because skepticism plummets conversion rates.

Often it’s the biggest barrier to climb transforming prospects into clients.

And online — if you’re not trusted you don’t get wealthy.

But, have no fear… because if you’re struggling with skepticism, here’s…

Today I’m writing this post from the lobby of the fountainebleau hotel.

Yep that’s right… I’m not at the beach instead I’m in South Beach… at one of the many exclusive resorts that populate the coastline down here.

I hope you had a great weekend, a great Valentine’s Day and (for those in the U.S.) a great President’s Day.

I sure did.  In fact, Debi and I celebrated our nine year wedding anniversary on Valentine’s Day.

We were the last couple to ever tie the knot on top of The World Trade Center on Valentine’s Day.  We got married February 14, 2001.

So, needless to say… we partied like rock stars all weekend.

Then on Monday, Ava and Elle had off from school – so we all had fun taking a day off.

Now, it’s time to get back to work.  So I am back at my beach office ready to take our conversation about credibility, believability and proof much further.

The sun has just risen.

Here’s the view from my beach office this morning… Continue…
