Hydroponic Nutrients Help Your Plants Grow Big And Strong

Without proper nutrition, all living things eventually will die. This is certainly true of plants grown indoors, that rely on fertilizers for food. If you practice hydroponics or aeroponics as a form of indoor gardening, then you know that the plant food appropriate for this type of gardening system is called nutrient.

There are a wide variety of hydroponic nutrients available, and they are suited to the type of plants you are growing as well as the plant’s stage in their life cycle. Advanced Nutrients and Bcuzz offer several good varieties of hydroponics nutrients. Advanced Nutrients offers a range of hydroponic nutrients suitable for different plant performance needs. They make base fertilizers which are suitable for use as plant nutrition.

The Advanced Nutrients called Sensi Bloom encourage your plants to produce a wealth of flowers, which is important if you are growing plants for their flowers, or if you are growing plants that require many flowers to produce a better yield of produce, such as tomatoes. Advanced Nutrients also offers an organic product called Iguana Juice hydroponic nutrients. This plant fertilizer helps to produce plants with strong branches and a large root system. Advanced also offers fertilizer additives for specific purposes to enhance certain aspects of your plants. Big Bud is one of the most popular additives, and as the name suggests it focuses on the flowers of your plants, increasing the size and number of flowers they produce. Bcuzz is another hydroponics nutrients provider that offers a complete line of plant food. Bcuzz comes in several different varieties. One popular one is their Bloom Stimulant. This nutrient helps increase the flower cell production in your plants, and it helps to increase the sugar molecules in flowers.

This is important if you are growing fruiting vegetables such as tomatoes, or fruits like strawberries, both of which taste better when they are sweeter. Bcuzz also makes a wonderful Foliar Boost, which is an organic product. This fertilizer is used to increase and improve the leaves and root zone of your plants, which is important if you are growing vegetables such as lettuce or ornamental plants such as hostas, where the focus is on the leaves. A Growth Stimulant is also available from this same company. It provides a proprietary mix of proteins, amino acids, aqua-bacterias and micro-nutrients that bring your plants to the peak of perfection in size. These are just a sampling of the superior hydroponics nutrients that are available to help your plants reach staggering proportions quickly.

How Much Information to Give-a-way in your Information Products

I’m often asked how much info you should give away in a free Special Report and other information products. The fear is that if you give-a-way too much people won’t buy more from you. In this article, I give you a simple way that shows you exactly what to give-a-way and what to hold back on so you still give great value AND attract people to buy more from you…

In general, I believe you should give-a-way a lot…enough for your prospect to say, “My gosh! If the FREE information product is this good then the paid stuff must be amazing!” The issue isn’t how much info you give-a-way…your #1 goal is to be perceived as always providing over-the-top value. People want to buy from generous people…in fact they feel obliged to!

* The Law of Reciprocity *

This is one of the most powerful tools in persuasion. The Law of Reciprocity states: we should try to repay, in kind, what another person has provided us. If you get a birthday gift from someone we feel obliged to give them an even better gift on their birthday. If not…our fear is being seen as a moocher – a taker.

This isn’t a bad thing. In fact, renowned anthropologist, Richard Leakey says the essence of what makes us human is reciprocity: “We are human because our ancestors learned to share their food and their skills in an honored network of obligation.”

So when you give away a ton of great value in your information products you actually set in motion a subtle psychological reaction within your audience. Deep down, they will feel obliged to give back to you…i.e. buy your product or hire you.

* The Pyramid Analogy *

Here’s an easy way to think about how much info to give-a-way in your information products…

You know how a pyramid is very dense? It’s heavy! The volume of a pyramid is made with layer on top of layer of dense stones. Well imagine all the knowledge and experience in your head is like the volume of a pyramid. Pretend that 100% of the volume of the pyramid represents 100% of your knowledge and experience.

Now imagine a big, powerful saw blade cutting the very top of the pyramid. That topstone would be, say, 5% of the total volume of the pyramid. That uppermost stone rests on the entire pyramid below it…but it’s only a fraction to the total volume.

In the same way, your free give-a-way information products, like a Special Report, should only give away 5% of your total knowledge. You can give an overview of everything you know…but it’s general information.

To see a good example of this check out my Special Report “3 Secret Steps to Creating Information Products That Makes You Money.” (www.infoproductguy.com) I give away my WHOLE program…in general. I give away enough for you to get inspired…but I don’t get into the nitty-gritty details on how to create information products. For that you have to work one-on-one with me. But because I’m very open with my knowledge, people get to know, like and trust me. You can do the same.

Let’s keep going down the pyramid…

Imagine that huge saw blade took off the top few layers of the pyramid…say 50% of the total volume. This represents 50% of all the knowledge in your head. This could be your $200 — $500 signature information product: 5 CDs and a 200 page workbook. Here you not only tell people what to do…but how to do it. You give them your templates and exercises that you’ve developed over years of doing what you do so they don’t have to figure it all out themselves.

This level can also be your group coaching program. It’s a group so it’s cheaper…but it also means people don’t get as much one-on-one time with you.

Are you starting to see how this works?

The further you go down the pyramid, the more knowledge you give away and the higher the price point you charge.

The trick for your free and low priced information products is to tell the people WHAT to do…not HOW to do it. For them to learn how to solve their problems in more detail you have to share more specific information…you have to even roll up your sleeves and teach them the “How To” one-on-one. That requires more of your knowledge and time…so you charge more.

Bottom line…I encourage you to give more rather than less. People will forget the information…but they’ll remember that you are someone who gives great value. And THAT’S what makes you successful.
