Online MLM Success

The Twitter opportunity might not last forever so grab it now while you can.

2009-08-05T16:21:00.000-07:00

Very basically here's the plan:

If you don't have the budget for a big dollar (or even a low dollar) AdWords campaign then you are best to start generating leads using Twitter.

Now, it's important to understand that Twitter does not really want their site used as a marketing vehicle, they want it to be an interactive, mini-instant messaging, conversational site where we build relationships.

Personally... I think Facebook is a much better venue for building friendships, so ask your Twitter friends to join you on FB. Those who want to be your friend will join you.

Here's where to become "my friend" on Facebook:

I don't know what Twitter's business plan is, I don't know how they make money, I don't even know if they are making money and I certainly don't know if Twitter will continue in it's present form.

But here's what I do know: Right now, today, you can use Twitter to generate several hundred leads a day for your business and you can ask them to subscribe to one of your autoresponder lists... and lots of them will.

Now you're really building your business. You can download your autoresponder leads to your hard drive and that is your property forever.

To find out how to do that I suggest you get my FREE book:

"How to use Twitter to Explode Your Business Online"

http://bit.ly/2Gr7CB

It truly is f.r.ee and there are no strings attached. Of course I'm in business so there are two tools that will help you immensely that I tell you about at the end, but there's no obligation to spend any money - that will be your choice.

So here's the program: "10 Sure fire Steps to Online Success"

1. Get my free book: http://bit.ly/2Gr7CB

2. Follow the step-by-step instructions on how to start and build your Twiter presence.

3. Preferably get a website and an auto-responder.

I use GoDaddy for my websites: http://bit.ly/a6mth

and AWeber for my Auto-responder: http://bit.ly/3HHZs1

4. Now start to send Tweets every day! I think you can safely send Tweets every 2 hours without alarming the Twitter bots but they are changing the rules every day so I can't promise this. I know I've had a couple of hard slaps for over Tweeting when I was testing their limits, so I take this seriously.

We want to be responsible entrepreneurs... we don't want to be offensive spammers.

5. Send Tweets that offer affiliate products or your own product: preferably via an opt-in page so you can add your site visitors to your auto-responder list, but otherwise link directly to your Affiliate Sales link. You can host hundreds of opt-in pages on the same website for $4 a month at GoDaddy.

6. Send Tweets about your Funded proposal.

Here's the one I use:

http://www.onlinemlmsuccessnow.com

7. Send tweets with some personal info, humour or inspirational quotes.

8. Never send Tweets about your MLM opportunity - it's a real turnoff.

9. Start a Blog and send Tweets about posts you have made on your Blog.

Don't worry about your MLM - have some patience - people will be drawn to you and ask to join you.

Remember your primary goal is to build your list - if you make some sales along the way then that's an added bonus.

10. Recycle every thing - I will make a video of this message and post it on YouTube, I'll probably do an article, I'll post it on my Blog and I'll send it to my auto-responder lists.

That's all off the top of my head right now. There's lots more but this will get you started.

Let's Keep on Winning

Surefire Plan To Get 2107 Twitter Followers in 30 Days or Less!

2009-06-12T16:04:00.000-07:00

.
Get all the details Here: "Surefire Plan to Get 2107 Twitter Followers in 30 Days!"

If you want to get a truly big list of followers (Britney spears has 4.5 million) then you'll need to "get some tools to automate the process". Fortunately lots of these are free and they are quite amazing in what they can do for you.

Why would you want to get 2107 Twitter followers, and more, in 30 days! Is that a question you're asking?

Because Twitter is the single best marketing tool to came along ever… in my opinion.

So how to get these elusive followers?

You can do it the hard way or the easy way! I started out doing it the hard way and it was very time consuming… and frankly… boring! But I got over 2000 in my first month.

If you laboriously manually follow 150 new Twitterers a day on each of 2 profiles you should have over 2000 followers at the end of 30 days.

I initially did it this way and it was a lot of work and when the initial excitement wore off I was quickly "looking for a better way".

If you want to make a lot of money then you'll need lots and lots of followers... "You need to automate. Here's How!"

If you want to get a truly big list of followers (Britney spears has 4.5 million) then you'll need to "get some tools to automate the process". Fortunately lots of these are free and they are quite amazing in what they can do for you.

Why do I absolutely believe you Will Be Successful With SFI!

2009-06-02T11:57:00.000-07:00

Why do I absolutely believe you Will Be Successful With SFI?

Why do I believe you can do it?

Because I will show you how!

I'm doing it and Ewan Chia is doing it.

Why is that important?

Because Ewan is the "Number One" earning affiliate with SFI and the top Affiliate Marketer in the world.

Ewan would not be wasting his time on SFI if it wasn't extremely profitable for him to do so.

Follow what the leaders are doing!

So if you haven't already done so, go here and do your free enrollment. It commits you to nothing but you can't really evaluate the SFI program without doing this.

https://www.quickinfo247.com/10327545/FREE

So how are you going to make money with SFI?

As I say in my book, you can sell product at retail and make money, but I don't want to pay the often high shipping costs.

So that's why I choose Network Builder and a monthly standing order to IAHBE.

Maintaining your Executive Affiliate status in the Network Builder program is the easiest way for you to make a lot of money... and I assume you want to make money?

Why IAHBE?

Not only does IAHBE give us valuable information to help build our business, it's the lowest cost way to maintain your Executive Affiliate status.

Regularly recruiting affiliates onto your team who themselves become Executive Affiliates is how you make money... a lot of money! And if they go to work, They'll make money too!

So how do you get started?

I think that placing free ads on the Internet on the Free Ad Sites is probably your best way to begin.

If you can afford a pay-per-click program then that will bring pretty well immediate results... but pay per click can cost you $10 to $100 per month and more if you get aggressive. Even so, even a $10 per month investment in pay-per click will bring results.

But let's get back to Free Advertising online.

Where would you post your ad?

Well a good place to start is to Google a search phrase like this:

"free online ads best sites"

That will bring you 63 million entries to browse. Here are a few I found:

http://trafficg.com/?member=olamangoo07

Then select "Earning Online" from the Category menu and then browse through "Home Business" and "Opportunities" to get a feel for how it all works.

What should your ad say?

Just make it similar to the ads already posted on the site. But not an exact copy - that wouldn't be productive.

There's also a big list here:

http://www.bestwayclassifieds.com/browse.asp

You get one week free then $57 for a full year. If money is an issue then keep browsing the free ones.

Here's one of their ads:

_______________________________________________________

FHTM offers a business and compensation plan which can yield great financial rewards through the vehicle of network marketing.

_______________________________________________________

Pretty boring really... don't you think?

I'd go with something a bit more upbeat. Maybe:

______________________________________________________

Make money online! Finally live the life of your dreams. You owe it to yourself to at least take a look!

https://www.quickinfo247.com/10327545/FREE

______________________________________________________

If they won't let you use your affiliate link then put the link to your free Blog and direct them there and if they still don't like that then register a Domain Name at GoDaddy - it will cost you about $12 per year - and forward that domain to your SFI sign up page.

Work away at getting your ads online. Make your target to get your ad on 100 free-ad sites. The more you put up, the more traffic and the more leads you'll get.

SFI will capture the leads with their email address for you.

Once they are enrolled in your team you can send them an email directing them to my capture page to get my book and be enrolled in my training newsletter series... just like you are.

And don't worry - I'm not going to steal them from you. They're already enrolled with you.

The BIG ADVANTAGE for you is that I do all the training for you!

You have my book... What's Your Next Step?

2009-05-29T17:47:00.000-07:00

I am quite passionate about helping you to be successful in
business on the internet and I believe that the SFI Affiliate
Program deserves your serious consideration.

If you are indeed serious about creating a highly successful
and profitable business for yourself then your next step is
simple...

Start Your Test Drive Membership at SFI!

If you haven't already done so, then first go here to start
your Test Drive Membership

https://www.quickinfo247.com/10327545/FREE

It costs you nothing - you don't give your credit card
number for anything but you get access to all the information
you can't otherwise get to. If you don't take this step
you're missing out... you'll never know what a great
opportunity you're passing up! If you don't want to get
involved that's fine... but at least understand what you're
saying no to.

https://www.quickinfo247.com/10327545/FREE

THE SFI WEBSITE CAN BE CONFUSING... I KNOW!

I don't know about you, but when i joined SFI and went to
their website I couldn't find anything. It was more than
difficult. I couldn't figure out how it all worked, how to
get started, what would be the best program to enroll in, how
to qualify for commissions or what would be the best and most
profitable product to sell. The site just isn't easy to navigate, in
fact I still find it confusing at times.

So if you're finding it not totally clear... don't beat yourself
up... you're not alone.

But don't let that cause you to give up just when you're
getting started on the road to success.

You see... I knew from the experience of others that I talked with
that SFI really works so I dug into the website and came up
with a plan that gets results.

I work 100% on the internet unless someone gives me a phone
call.

I'm here to make it easy for you! I've figured out what to
do and it works. My team is growing and I'm profitable!

I concluded that the big money would come from multiplying
my efforts, just like the big boys do, so I decided on the
Network Builder Program.

I decided that I would find, enroll, train and motivate a
large team of motivated entrepreneurs, just like you... and
in the process of helping you to succeed I would be moving my
own business forward.

The great Zig Ziglar, who's seminars I have attended many
times always says this:

"You can have anything you want in life as long as you help
enough other people get what they want."

So the job is to build a team via recruiting on the
internet. You can do it by talking with friends and family
and people you meet too but your big business will grow from
the internet... and it will be rejection free.

Here's What You Do - Step-by-Step:

1. Attract interested web visitors to your website or blog.

I use a webpage of my own, but if you're new to all of this
then your SFI webpage is easy and it will work just fine to
start.

2. Convert them into Test Drive Members

3. Show them how easy it is to make money with SFI !

SFI is truly one of the only low cost, hands free, automated, turnkey
businesses I know of. Just set it up and it runs itself.

4. Train your team step-by-step in how to make it work.

You don't have to re-invent the wheel. you can simply copy my
emails to train your team step-by-step in how to make it work.

5. Teach your affiliates how to build and train a team of
their own

So please relax and embrace this once in a lifetime chance.

Here is an opportunity to accumulate a significant fortune
and I will show you exactly, step-by-step, how to do it and I
will be there with you every step of the way.

You're not on your own anymore... we're a team and we intend
to win.

Creating an Affiliate Marketing Business means that you
create or find a product and you enroll others to help you
sell that product for a commission.

That's what we're all about at SFI.

And at SFI the commissions are high, the work is easy and
the system is automated.

It costs you nothing to join for a month and take a look
around - find out if this is for you.

If you're looking for a low cost, easy, profitable business
that runs itself then this is something you definitely need
to explore.

Every business depends on the sale of a product or service
to generate its revenue... and SFI is no exception. No sales
no income!

If you came here looking for a job then that's not what
we're about at all. You'll never get wealthy in a job. The
truly wealthy people run their own businesses.

So once again... if you haven't already done so, then first
go here to start your Test Drive Membership.

Here's How to Get Started with SFI

2009-05-27T17:33:00.000-07:00

The first step, if you haven't already done so is to go here to start your Test Drive Membership.

https://www.quickinfo247.com/10327545/FREE

It costs you nothing - you don't give your credit card number for anything but you
get access to all the information you can't otherwise get to.

The best way to make a lot of money with SFI is to choose the "Network Builder Program" and become an EXECUTIVE AFFILIATE (EA).

To make the big money with this program you will eventually need to make the decision to become an Executive Affiliate (EA). This will cost you less than $20 US per month - one of the lowest cost monthly commitments I have been able to find anywhere. This cost can be quite quickly covered by your income.

The lowest cost program to become and maintain your EA status is to join the International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs (IAHBE).

The actual monthly cost for IAHBE is $29.95 but you earn approximately a $10 commission on your own purchase so your net monthly cost is less than $20.

IAHBE is a success coaching program. Besides a monthly newsletter you have access to the IAHBE website which has a wealth of "how-to" information to help you move forward with your business and your life.

The great advantage here is that because this is an online program there are no shipping costs, which as you know can be substantial.

The "potential" income is $100,000 per year and up.

Why do you need to commit $29.95 dollars per month?

You don't! You would only do this if you want to make the big money. You don't NEED to do anything. Nobody will be forcing you. But every business runs on making sales: no sales... no commission. So if we all invest in an IAHBE membership every month, it teaches us how to be successful and we all make money.

Your big income will flow from building a large network of associates who all invest $29.95 per month in their business.

You can certainly make money from selling product at the retail level, but if you want to make the big bucks... build a network.

I will teach you how!

There's lots of information in the Training Library.

https://www.sfimg.com/Training/showIndex.sfi

Now I want you to go here:

https://www.sfimg.com/

login to your account, click on "Getting Started With SFI" and complete the first 7 steps - it takes very little time.

At step 4: "Choose the SFI product or program on which you wish to focus", you select The Network Builder Program (NBP).

Why The Network Builder Program (NBP)
BecauseThe Network Builder Program (NBP) is SFI's most popular program and it's where the big money is.

Building your own network of affiliates is a powerful way to create a substantial residual income stream that can continue to put money in your pocket, year after year.

It's easy to sign up affiliates because:

A) Almost everyone would like to earn extra money
B) Joining SFI won't cost you anything
C) SFI has 20-year track record of success

I am focused on building 100% on the internet - I suggest you consider doing the same. There's no rejection, it's extremely time and cost effective and will eventually run on autopilot.

You can become an EA without investing any of your own money. If you sell just one IAHBE retail membership per month you'll maintain automatic EA status for yourself and you'll get a $4.95 commission every month for as long as that membership continues.
With just 4 sales you are riding free!

But I don't want to lose my EA status and my in the matrix so I'm willing to invest the $19.95 US per month in my business to fulfill the EA requirement.

The simplest way to maintain your Executive Affiliate status is to simply enter a standing order for your IAHBE membership every month and get on with building your network.

But it's up to you. You can start as a basic associate and advance to EA if it's working for you. You can also maintain your EA status via retail sales.

Complete your seven Getting Started steps and continue on to Step 8 - The Path.

How to Make your Squeeze Page Sell-Don't get too Fancy with the Design.

2009-05-14T13:26:00.000-07:00

Besides looking amateurish, a fussy site design will
confuse your visitor.

You've seen those sites with all sorts of graphics on the
background and lots of flash videos going off all over the
place. They demonstrate that the site designer knows their
stuff but the visitor has no idea what you want them to do;
and often the background graphics obscure your content so
it can't be easily read.

Keep it simple!

Choose one or two, maybe three colors and a couple of
fonts and stick with that design. Nothing looks worse than
a jumbled array of colors, fonts and styles. And absolutely
don't add textures or dark colored backgrounds; the test
becomes too difficult to read.

People like to get what they expect… what they're used to;
we don't really like surprises. Your visitors are used to
reading dark print on a light background… so give it to
them.

Don't use more than three colors plus maybe some yellow
for highlighting; and make sure your colors are web safe.
Lot's of internet users are still working with computers
that have very basic video cards. If you go throwing
sophisticated color shades and tints at them you'll
completely lose the dramatic effect you were trying to
generate by the time a very basic VGA video card gets to
interpret it on the screen.

What are web safe colors?

Basically they're the original 16 colors that came with
Dos. If you just stick with your basic black, red, blue,
dark blue and yellow you'll never get into trouble with
font colors.

Your visitors came to your website because they were
searching for something on the web. They clicked on your
site listing in the search engine page. They really hope
you can fill their need.

Give them great sales copy that's easy to read and you're
half way there!

The big pros in this business make a lot of money online!

How about you?

You can Explode your MLM Online!

Learn the secrets the "Pros" don't tell you! "Click Here"

How to Make your Squeeze Page Sell-Create a Strong Call to Action

2009-05-07T11:57:00.000-07:00

What exactly is a "Call to Action"?

If not the single most important element on your sales
page, then it's right up there with having a powerful
headline. There's no point getting visitors to your site if
they don't know what to do. If your visitor is confused
about what action you want them to take, they will get lost
in the confusion and leave.

Your sales copy must compel your visitors to action! And
it should be the action you desire. That's the whole
purpose of your sales page.

You don't get to have any personal interaction with your
potential buyers; you can't answer their questions and
handle their objections on the web. Your sales copy needs
to stand in for you… take your place; it has to do that job
on your behalf.

It's a vital role!

Your sales copy needs to tell your visitors what you have
to offer (your "feature" statement); it has to explain how
using your product will improve your visitors lives (your
"benefit" statement) and it has to create "value" in the
minds of your potential buyer. They have to feel that what
they will be getting is a bargain. If you can create strong
emotion around this…even better.

If your visitor can sense that you have their best
interests at heart, you have won half the battle. If your
sales copy is too slick and pushy you will turn them off.
Ninety-five percent of humans don't like to be sold. And
the five percent left are other sales people.

So speak directly to your visitor; let them know you
understand their needs. Let them know that providing
service and value is important to you.

You know the difference between "Features" and "Benefits"?

Features tell the reader what you have to offer. Benefits
are much more powerful… they tell them how your offer will
create a positive change in their lives.

A feature-benefit statement would go something like this:

This car has a smooth ride, but not too smooth. You wont
feel the bumps in the road but you'll still get the benefit
of great cornering!

Let your sales copy tell your visitors how your product or
service will be of benefit to them… and be sincere… no
smoke and mirrors! Make sure that what you are offering
will in fact live up to your promises or there won't be any
repeat business.

explosive growth in their MLMs?

How to Make your Squeeze Page Sell- Don't Confuse Your Visitors!

2009-04-22T12:35:00.000-07:00

Don't make your visitors guess what they're supposed to do
on your site. You must give them a strong call to action
and tell them exactly what they need to do to get the
benefits you outline! That's what a squeeze page is all
about.

Next to having a powerful headline your call to action is
the most critical element of your sales page. There's no
point getting visitors to your site if they don't know what
to do. If your visitor is confused about what action you
want them to take, they will get lost in the confusion and
leave.

Layout the benefits for them in a way that will be easy
for them to understand. This isn't a contest where you
demonstrate your superior knowledge. Tell your visitor
"what's in it for them" in plain simple language.

It's a simple formula. You state the feature, follow it
with the benefit statement and then make the call to action.

Let's say you sell a stress-relief product. Your copy
might say something like this:

"After doing research and testing, I found a set of really
fabulous relaxation CD's that solved my recurring migraine
problems, improved my sleep, and increased my energy
levels-all in just a few days!

"Click here now to learn how these CD's can soothe your
troubles away and lead you to a more healthy and happy
life."

As simple as that!

Remember that your visitors came to your website because
they were searching for something on the web and it looked
like you could provide it. They are wondering whether what
you have to offer will fill their need.

So make sure your copy is easy to read! I can't stress
this enough.

As far as fonts go my research tells me this: stick with
Verdana font in full strength colors for your text wherever
possible. Verdana is considered the best font for reading
online and even the very basic video cards can display it.
Times New Roman may be the default Microsoft Font but on
screen Verdana is easier to read.

Remember: You're not trying to amuse or entertain with
your site. Your goal is to sell! Give your visitors great
sales copy that's easy to read, tell them exactly how to
access your product and you're half way there.

How To Generate Traffic Using A Squidoo Lens

2009-04-20T09:57:00.000-07:00

Here's a great article by Diego Norte

What about Squidoo? Is it alive and well or has Twitter taken over?

Another way to market your business is to use social networking sites. Squidoo, just one of many, is considered a social networking site, however from an internet marketing perspective it is vastly different from the others. One key difference is that, Squidoo lets you sell blatantly without the worry of someone shutting you down. Another unique feature of Squidoo is it an adult social networking site. Thus, making it a great place to market your business as well as interact with other home internet business owners.

Squidoo allows you to create what's called a lens, which is basically an information portal about any topic you want. Squidoo also allows you to sign up and create as many lenses and categories as you want. You can very easily use these lenses to drive targeted traffic to your home internet business sites.

Once you have finished creating your lenses and specifically targeted to your home business niche, you then start socializing with other like minded marketers on this social networking site.

The secret to succeeding in using Squidoo is to provide information that is not only good information, but helpful information to people in your niche who are eager to receive that information. By using a good landing page you can effectively market as well as drive targeted traffic to your home-business opportunity. If you are already a respectable internet marketer then people will be more willing to buy an affiliate's product based on your recommendation.

How To Generate Traffic Using A Squidoo Lens

1. It is vitally important to put your main targeted keyword in your lens title. This is because lenses are pages and they can therefore rank in the search engines like your legitimate home internet business home page.

2. Choose a URL for your lens with your primary keyword. Do remember this, as it will help your search engine rankings too, because that URL is what you'll link to from other places.

3. Tag your lens with other long tail keyword. Look for the Squidoo lens creation wizard to give you the chance to do this when you first set up your lens.

4. One of the most important things you should remember is to add an RSS feed so as to make your lenses popular with search engines. There's a Squidoo module for RSS feeds, and search engines just love that kind of unique, frequently changing content.

5. Update you lens several times a week at minimum. You don't need to make major changes but quick and easy ones, just tweaking a little here and there and click publish. Although an RSS feed will help this, it is equally important that you also add hot new content in your lens.

6. When Squidoo masters recommend you to create many lenses, they actually meant create more specialized lenses based on long tail keywords in your niche. As you would already have a list of your keywords for your niche, you should start to dominate them. If you have a lens on work at home business, for example, you could create a more specialized lens call Work At Home Business For Retirees.

7. Link your related lenses to each other. This is a good technique as it is known to be good traffic building tip. You also build more links and more links means more visitors which ultimately gives you a higher ranking for your Squidoo lenses.

8. Use your lens like it's your blog and link to your legitimate home internet business sites. This is such an easy yet powerful technique. Search engines love Squidoo and so links from a high-ranking lens to your work at home business site can really boost your traffic.

9. Remember that Squidoo is firstly a social networking site so get sociable by visiting other internet marketer's lenses to give comments on their guest book. This also gets you one way links which generate traffic for you too.

10. Now, the trick to Squidoo is to not only have proper keywords in your lens, but to add many keywords to your lens. If your lenses sells a product, more traffic translate to more sales. You can check out what keywords people are typing in the search engines to arrive at your lens and easily add those keywords to your list.

11. Here is the final secret you an use. Mark your lens useful. One good way to make your lens useful is to present your information as a "how-to" lesson within your topic. This helps you build a good lens and your audience finds what they are looking for easily.

Okay! So now you've got your leads... what are you going to do with them?

Here's the best kept secret in Online Marketing

What sort of emails should I send to my downline?

2009-04-08T08:29:00.000-07:00

Here's an excerpt from a great little article by Gery Carson, the founder of SFI:

What sort of emails should I send to my downline to get them to upgrade?

If you overdo the persuasion emails you may be painting yourself in your affiliates eyes as someone who is just in it for "selfish" reasons—that you're just wanting them to upgrade so YOU can "make some money off them."

And if that's what they think...guess what? You're going to get the OPPOSITE of what you are after. You're going to be actually having your affiliates shutting the door on you and SFI altogether. Not good!

Here's what you SHOULD be doing:

There's an old saying that people don't care what you say until they know you care, and it applies perfectly here. If your affiliates get the impression in any way that you just want to "make money off them," they're going to resent you, and they're not going to want to do anything to help you, which would of course include upgrading.

Therefore, your approach should ALWAYS be:

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

All of your messages should revolve around this. Make sure that this theme comes through loud and clear! Don't even bring up upgrading. Let SFI be the one that "twists arms." You stick totally to things like:

"Do you have any questions I can answer for you?"
"Is there anything I can clarify for you about the SFI Powerline program?"
"Have you been to the DBoard lately? There's a great thread there on how to X."
"If there's anything I can help you with, don't hesitate to ask."
and so on.

This is how you will engage your affiliates and build the critical relationships you need to create a thriving team.

Your own newsletter, mailed out 2 to 4 times a month, is also a superb way to stay in touch while providing helpful tips, training, and ideas. And what does such a newsletter say to your affiliates? It says you're working hard to provide them with the information they need to succeed. Not YOU, but THEM. And it says, "I'm here to help."

Help them...and you help yourself. The more people you help, the more successful you'll be.

How to Make a Fortune Promoting Other People's Products

2009-03-04T13:21:00.000-08:00

Here's a great Article:

By Jimmy D. Brown of http://www.Affiliatenaire.com
________________________________________

There must be a reason why some affiliates succeed and some
fail, a reason why some affiliates profit moderately and some
affiliates profit substantially.

There must be a reason.

There is.

And that reason is this: "super" affiliates start, sustain and
strengthen relationships with subscribers.

It begins and ends with a list. Even a small one can be a
powerful, profitable mechanism if you follow these 7
guidelines...

1. CAPTURE THE OPTIN FIRST.

Instead of sending traffic directly to your affiliate link,
send them to YOUR site where you offer some kind of list for
them to join. (Hint: Mini-course works best) Once you have
them on a list, they become an asset. If you send them directly
to an affiliate page and they don't buy, they're gone forever.
On your list, you can follow-up with them
indefinitely.

Note: You can even redirect them to your affiliate link AFTER
they join your list, effectively getting them where you wanted
them to go in the first place.

2. DIFFERENTIATE THE OFFER.

Instead of sending out the same, tired, lame advertisement that
every other affiliate in the world sends out, write your own.
Trust me when I say that many people find it OFFENSIVE when
they receive two dozens duplicate emails from two dozen list
owners all promoting the exact same thing in the exact same way.
And even if they don't find it offensive, it's not as effective
if you simply rinse and repeat what everyone else is doing.

Hint: Here's how you differentiate...

3. SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE.

Nothing - nothing - nothing speaks louder than RESULTS. If you
want to lose a few pounds, who do you turn to? Someone who is
still struggling with their own weight or someone you've seen
drop 35 pounds? Exactly.

The way you make your mailings / ads different is you speak
from your own personal experience. This product or service that
you are promoting as an affiliate, how has it been useful to you
personally? What results have you personally achieved? When you
used it, what happened?

Note: If you haven't personally used the product, then shame
on you for trying to make a quick buck from it hocking it to
others!

4. OFFER A COMPELLING INCENTIVE.

Another way to be different - and to dramatically increase your
chances of getting a sale as an affiliate - is to offer some
kind of compelling incentive if someone buys the offer through
YOUR referral link. Whether it's a special report or access to
an audio recording, personalized consultation or advertising, a
private training call or existing products and services, this
can be a highly effective method of converting fence-setters
into paying customers.

In order for it to work well, it must be UNIQUE (I.E. You're
the only one making the offer) and USEFUL (I.E. Something of
great perceived value to the reader).

Note: Don't have anything to offer? Don't worry! There are
many ways to easily obtain extra incentives: conduct an
interview, hire a ghostwriter to create articles / reports for
you, buy reprint rights to other products, assemble a bunch of
free articles and other resources into a private access site,
etc.

5. LOOK FOR RESIDUAL OPPORTUNITIES.

Rather than exhaust your efforts on purchases that give you a
one-time commission, why not make the most of your marketing by
looking firstly for offers that pay out ONGOING monthly
commissions for your referred sales?

There are many different residual income generating services
such as membership sites (ranging from PT Cruisers to weight
loss), stock photos and clipart, hosting, autoresponders,
databases (from hiking trails to sermon outlines) online
magazines and a variety of other subscription based
opportunities that reward you with monthly recurring commissions.

While you definitely want a mix of types of affiliate programs
to promote, your priority should be in identifying and promoting
those services and programs that will pay you month after month,
instead of only one time.

6. BUILD A SALES ARMY.

One of the biggest untapped sources of income in any list is
that of "turning subscribers into partners". In other words,
find those on your list who are interested in making money and
provide them with training and materials to promote affiliate
programs as well.

This has a two-fold advantage for YOU:

* First, if you find 2-tier affiliate programs, you can get
your subscribers to join the program through your referral.
Anytime they get a sale, you'll earn a commission as well. You
effectively get free commissions from their effort.

* Secondly, you can use their efforts to build your own assets.
For example: If you provide them with a 10-page report to give
away to promote their affiliate link, you can include a page in
the report promoting YOUR list! You effectively get free
subscribers from their effort.

7. MONETIZE FOR MULTIPLE STREAMS.

As your own list continues to grow, you certainly want to
diversify in your offerings. (Not to the point of bombarding
your list with offers every day of course!)

* Promote other affiliate programs.
* Create your own products.
(Even short $10 reports will earn profit!)
* Establish joint ventures.
* Co-author products.
* Cross promote.
* Conduct surveys.

There are MANY ways to make money from you list and keep your
list growing, growing, growing!

Remember, it all comes down to: starting, sustaining and
strengthening relationships with subscribers.

And that's how you make a fortune as an affiliate promoting
other people's products.

How To Use Facebook To Explode Your MLM - Part 3

2009-02-27T10:44:00.000-08:00

I've been out of town and dealing with a family crisis so I've been off the air for a couple of weeks - sorry about that.

But here I am back again.

So let's get to it - I'll keep this simple and brief.

Here's how you can use Facebook to generate leads for your Online Biz

1. Join Facebook... if you haven't already done that.

2. Decide what "Niche" you want to work in.

For my Facebook Group "MLM On A Shoe String Budget – EASILY Get 50 To 100 FREE Leads Every Day", I've obviously chosen the niche of "Online MLM".

3. Now you need to generate a list of friends.

There are several ways to do this, but asking the Friends of "Online MLM Guru's" to be your friend is a good way to get started with targeted, qualified prospects.

Go to Google and search "MLM Guru" and then search for them on Facebook - you want someone with more than 500 friends.

Go to "Facebook Search" and search for MLM (or your niche, like "weight loss" for example) and find a guru that has a Facebook presence.

OR... Find a group in your niche with more than 200 members.

Invite the members of this group or the friends of the guru to be your friends too. Just click on "View Friends" and then click "Add as Friend".

IMPORTANT NOTE:

It's important to add a message with your friend request or you will trigger the Facebook monitors and they may shut you down if you do too much.

Change your message every 5 to 10 Friend requests and don't do more than 20 to 25 at a time or Facebook will send you a warning or shut you down for a while. And you probably shouldn't do more than 50 a day.

If you do 50 a day and 10 become friends then you will get 300 friends a month.

4. Start a GROUP with a title that contains search keywords so other Facebook members can find you.

5. Open your Group and click "Invite People to Join".

A list of your Friends will appear at the top right had side - click on your friends and a list will be created. Remember to do no more than 25 at a time here too. Facebook monitors how much time you spend on a repetitive activity.

Create a nice brief little invitation message - remember to include your "Group URL" and send of the mesage to 50 friends a day.

Once you have members in your group you can click the link "Message all Members" and send out your sales and educational messages.

6. Post to your "What are you doing now" message at least 3 times a day and comment on others pics and videos.

Duplicate your efforts by turning your group messages into an article. I will publish this message on Ezine Articles later today.

Market your MLM on Facebook - Part 2

2009-02-04T18:23:00.000-08:00

Hi There

In Part 1 of this series we talked about the concept that “you are the product” you’re really marketing and we talked about leadership… most people are looking for a leader to show them the way and you need to become that leader if you want to move forward in your online endeavors.

We all arrive here with differing levels of leadership skills and the job is to build that up. Of course we need knowledge – the “how-to” component of how to make this work online – but we need more than that.

Our main marketing tools are text (like this post), videos and advertising (preferably free) and you may think that advertising and text don’t need leadership.

But really they do!

People can feel your level of self esteem in your writing and even when you attract people via advertising you need to eventually communicate with them in some way – emails being a good example. And certainly your videos will be a dead giveaway if you lack confidence.

Now, if you’re a person who is not confident dealing with people face to face, we have some good news. Online you don’t need to!

You don’t NEED to make videos until you’re ready to go live.

The greatest confidence builder you can have is to learn by doing. Get to know your subject – I’m going to coach you in that. Write some articles to improve your writing skills.
As your skill level grows and you have some small (or big) successes your confidence will grow right along with it.

And here’s where you can get 25 FREE lessons on how to do it:

See you on the inside.

Market your MLM on Facebook - Part 1

2009-02-04T18:19:00.000-08:00

Hello to you all of my friends:

How's today working out for you so far?

Do you want to know the SECRET of The TOP PRODUCERS?
The one little secret that if you apply and master
will instantly catapult your business to new heights?

Its all about ATTRACTION MARKETING.

And its actually a lot easier than you might think...

Go here to get 25 FREE LESSONS - it's all in here:

http://www.onlinemlmsuccessnow.com

So how do you market on Facebook?

Well Step 1 is that you never ever, ever send anyone an invite to join you MLM and you never send them to your MLM company website... unless of course someone asks you for information.

Why is that?

Pretty simple... We've all got our own and we don't want another juice or vitamin or plankton or whatever.

I receive these invites all the time, every day. Most MLM's are pretty much the same. Most of the products are great quality and the pay plans kick out about the same amount of commission.

What do "you" do when you receive an invitation like this?

You ignore it... right?

You are already passionate about your own opportunity!

So if not your MLM then what do you market?

You have to market YOU! Everyone is looking for a leader and if you stand out from the crowd then people will seek you out if you give them value for their time.

"And what do I have to offer as a leader", you ask?

Well, no matter how little value you place on yourself, if you've been in an MLM for one week you already know more than the person who just joined. You have something to teach them. And you have other life skills from your profession, your family and just life in general. You really do have a lot to share.

And as we progress together here you'll have a whole lot more. You just need to do some learning and the more you learn the more like a leader you'll feel. Thirty years ago when got into sales I didn't have a clue. Ditto for 10 years ago in MLM. Now I know the ropes and so will you.

Get your 25 FREE LESSONS - it's all in here. Then teach that to others.

Go here and take the test drive - it's only a dollar and you get the lessons regardless of whether you choose to convert to full membership or not.

See you on the inside.

Look out for Part 2 of this series.

MLM Secrets - Create an Online MLM Cash Machine

2009-01-27T18:57:00.000-08:00

Step by Step: Here's how you make money online!

2008-12-09T13:30:00.000-08:00

I get lots of requests about "How exactly
do I get started Online. What do I need to
do. can you lay it out for me "step-by-step".

So here's a "Step-by-Step Plan" to get you
started on a shoestring budget:

If you don't have any money to get started...

First... read all of my emails and all of
my articles on internet marketing and MLM. I
have packed a lot of information on how to
do everything into them.

You'll find them at http://www.ezinearticles.com.

Just search under my name: Jim Keayes - to
find them.

In my experience "SFI Affiliate Marketing"
is a plan that will definitely work - I
suggest you take a look.

http://www.quickinfo247.com/10327545/FREE

1. First thing to do is to build a list.
this is the best and easiest way to go.

You will need a list of people including
their emails to market to.

Here's how to build one:

2. Go to http://www.ezinearticles.com and
read some of their articles on Network
Marketing and MLM.

3. Focus your articles on "How to Build MLM
Online" - it will give you much higher
response to your articles. There's way too
much competition in the plain old vanilla
Internet Marketing niche or Make Money Online.

4. Write 4 or 5 articles using what you
have learned from other articles and web
sites -they don't have to be in depth - just
interesting.

5. Register at Ezine Articles - it's free:

http://www.ezinearticles.com

and post some of your articles to this
directory. People will read them and join
your list. It really will happen - you'll be
amazed!

6. Combine those first few articles into a
short book to give away free at your webpage.

7. You'll get easier results if you can
afford a website.Register a website at

http://www.GoDaddy.com

It costs around US $12 to
register the domain name and US $4 per month
to host the site.

8. Build a squeeze page - see my articles
on this.

9. Register at AWeber:

http://www.aweber.com/?287160

Go to the very bottom of the page and click
on "Create your Account"

Current cost is $19 per month and hasn't
changed in quite awhile.

If you can't afford this then start with
the autoresponder at SFI as a beginning
step. It's free but as your business grows
you'll want something more hands free.

10. Create an opt-in box - also called a
"webform" - at Aweber and paste the code
into your squeeze page.

11. Create a download page on your website
and upload your free book to this page.

12. Continue to write and post as many
articles as you can to Ezine Articles. One
article per day is ideal but even one per
week will get you started.

Once you have mastered the writing and
posting of articles you can start a blog and
post your articles there and also to other
article directories like Go Articles and
Article Dashboard.

Just Google "Article Directories" and
choose the top 5 listings that show up.

14. Adapt these articles as follow up
emails on your autoresponder - you'll need
about 20 emails eventually.

Or better still, because they're focussed
on SFI... just copy and adapt these emails
I am sending you.

In the early days it will take you a while
to write your first few articles but
eventually you will be able to do each
article in 15 to 20 minutes.

You have some learning to do to get up to
speed on this, but this list building plan
is very inexpensive - about $25 per month
and absolutely definitely gets results.

Keep on Winning

Regards

Jim

ACTION STEP:

You really need to take a look at this!

If you haven't already done so, then first go here to start your Test Drive Membership to SFI.

http://www.quickinfo247.com/10327545/FREE

It costs you nothing - you don't give your credit card number for anything but you get access to all the information you can't otherwise get to.

The best way to make a lot of money with SFI is to choose the "Network Builder Program" and become an EXECUTIVE AFFILIATE.

To make the big money with this program you will eventually need to make the decision to become an Executive Affiliate. This will cost you $20 US per month after your commission- the lowest cost monthly commitment I have beenable to find anywhere.

This cost can be quite quickly covered by your income.

The "potential" income is $100,000 per year and up. ______________________________________________

Action Steps to Online Success - Session 1

2008-12-09T13:20:00.000-08:00

Hi There:

Generating success in an online business is not a matter of
luck, but there are some secrets that will get you started.

Success in any venture is a matter of knowing exactly "what"
you want to do, "why" you want to do it and having a "plan"
to get there, doing activities you enjoy.

If you begin on a program that involves activities you
really detest and have little talent for and can't learn,
then you are not likely to cross the finish line.

I can provide you with your "what" -

"SFI" is an amazing program to bring you success.

So Your Next Step Is Easy - Start Your Test Drive Membership!

If you're already a member then skip this next section…
__________________________________________
If you haven't already done so, then first go here to start
your Test Drive Membership.

http://www.quickinfo247.com/10327545/FREE

Your test drive costs you nothing - you don't give your
credit card number for anything, but you get access to all
the information you can't otherwise get to. If you don't take
this step you're missing out… you'll never know what a great
opportunity you're passing up! If you don't want to get
involved that's fine… but at least understand what you're
saying no to.
__________________________________________

I can also provide the "how" but I can't provide you with
your "why"… so if you don't have this sorted out then this is
a good time to get on with brainstorming and come up with
exactly "why" you would like a successful online business and
what sort of business that should be.

Here's a plan of action to build a successful SFI business -
that really works.

Follow these action steps and your Online Success is assured.

And become an "EXECUTIVE AFFILIATE" as soon as you can…
after you get your commission it's only $20 a month… probably
the lowest cost business on the web!

If you don't qualify at the Executive Affiliate level you
lose your Powerline after 30 days and you can't earn
commissions from the sales made by the affiliates you recruit
which are the biggest part of your SFI compensation package.

Your success will be faster if you have a Website or a Blog
but it's not absolutely essential. Blogs are free at Blogspot
so why not start one anyway.

Success will come from your list, so build a list of
interested visitors to your site and send them content rich
emails!

In fact your most important marketing task is to build a
list of interested subscribers and keep in contact with them
by providing them with valuable information.

If you would like to save time and effort, please go ahead
and copy my emails and send them to your list of prospects as
you receive them from me. I've checked them for spam content
so they have a high deliverability rate!

Statistics show that on average you will need to contact
your interested prospects 7 times before they take action and
respond, or even open your email.

Keep on winning

Jim

Action Steps to Online Success - Session 2

2008-12-02T15:56:00.000-08:00

Here's How To Get Visitors To Enroll In Your List!

You can get by without a website, and it's certainly better to have one if you can afford it, so if you do decide to get a website then it only needs to be one page, an "enrollment page"... sometimes called a "squeeze page".

This is simply a single webpage whose only function is to encourage visitors to enroll in your offer. If it's a webpage then it will need to have a "webform" where visitors can subscribe and their information is forwarded to your autoresponder. You only need their first name and email to begin.

You are supplied with an Enrollment Page and an Autoresponder and Emailing System by SFI so if you're not web savvy and don't want to spend the $30 a month or so to get a webpage and autoresponder like AWeber then use the SFI webpage to enroll your visitors.

You can send all of your leads there... from your Pay-per-Click ads, your articles (more on this later), your forum posting your online ads or your Blog.

Warrior Forum:

http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/

is a great place to start your forum posting.

You can easily add more pages to your website as you go and they can all be simple. You can find lots of easy to use software to do this. You can use MS Frontpage if it came with your MS Office package. You don't need to go to the expense of buying Adobe Dreamweaver at this time but if you're serious it is a good thing to have down the road.

If you like to write then Article Marketing is for you - I use it a lot.

Write 5 Articles on the topic of Online Business or Network Marketing or Motivation and turn them into an eBook. If you don't have a website you can email the book to them.

To attract visitors to opt-in to your list you need a fr3e gift to give away on your squeeze page.

You can simply offer an online "how-to" course in how to be successful online and copy my emails for your course.

A "how-to" eBook about online success that you write yourself is another great way to do it. And since article writing is a great way to attract visitors to your site you can start off your online promotion program by publishing these 5 articles on the article directories like Ezine Articles:

http://www.ezinearticles.com/

If you want you can use one of my books as a giveaway.

If you alter it in any way you must add your own name as the author - just send me an email and I'll send you a book in MS Word Format with Private Label Rights attached - but my schedule is very full so you must become an Executive Affiliate first if I'm going to devote any time to you.

SFI Affiliates: HERE’S HOW TO GET STARTED

2008-10-08T15:19:00.000-07:00

Hi there SFI Affiliates:

HERE’S HOW TO GET STARTED

The best way to make a lot of money with SFI is to choose the Network Builder Program.

To make big money with this program you will eventually need to become an Executive Affiliate. This will cost you $29.95 US per month – the lowest cost monthly commitment I have been able to find anywhere – but the upside is $100,000 per year and up.

Why do you need to commit $29.95 dollars per month? You don’t! You don’t NEED to do anything. But every business runs on making sales: no sales… no commission. So we all invest in an IAHBE membership every month and it teaches us how to be successful.

Your income will flow from building a large network of associates who all invest $29.95 per month in their business

You can certainly make money from selling product at the retail level, but if you want to make the big bucks… build a network.

I will teach you how!

First go to the Training Library:

https://www.sfimg.com/Training/showIndex.sfi

Log in to your account click on “Getting Started With SFI“ and complete the first 7 steps – it takes very little time.

At step 4: “Choose the SFI product or program on which you wish to focus”: you select The Network Builder Program (NBP).

The Network Builder Program (NBP) is SFI's most popular program.

Building your own network of affiliates is a powerful way to create a substantial residual income stream that can continue to put money in your pocket, year after year.

It's easy to sign up affiliates because:

A) Almost everyone would like to earn extra money

B) There's no cost to join SFI
C) SFI has 20-year track record of success

I am focused on building 100% on the internet – I suggest you consider doing the same. There’s no rejection, it’s extremely time and cost effective and will eventually run on autopilot.

If you sell just one IAHBE retail membership per month you'll maintain automatic EA status for yourself each month for as long as that membership continues.

But I want to focus on building my network so I’m willing to invest the $29.95 US per month in my business to fulfill the EA requirement.

The simplest way to maintain your Executive Affiliate status is to simply purchase your ongoing IAHBE membership every month.

But it’s up to you. You can start as a basic associate and advance to EA if it’s working for you. You can also maintain your EA status via retail sales.

Complete your seven Getting Started steps and continue on to Step 8 – The Path.

HOW TO MARKET YOUR BUSINESS ONLINE

Your first step is to enroll in my online training course at:

Make Big Bucks In Affiliate Marketing - Here's How!

2007-12-11T09:20:00.000-08:00

You've got two choices :

Will you spend three months outlining, writing, proofing, rewriting and finally publishing an e-book of your own; and then write the sales letter and set up the payment processor on your webpage… or… will you find an affiliate product you like, use all the pre-written sales material that is already posted on the products website, have somebody else handle the payment processing and pay your commissions to you, while you simply copy and paste your affiliate link into a Pay-per-click ad or into a short one page sales email and send it to your list.

I think Affiliate Marketing comes out ahead.

Affiliate marketing is an easy care business… you can focus all of your time on getting traffic and let someone else handle all of the details.

You can be in business in affiliate marketing within 60 minutes from the time you finish reading this article... and you don't even need a website of your own.

Here's how you can get started fast:

Open an account at Clickbank and get yourself a Clickbank ID (takes about 5 minutes).

Go to "Go Articles" and enroll as an author. They allow you to put affiliate links in your Profile Box.

Let's say your field of interest is "money and employment".

You want to be nmarketing the products that people are already buying and the best measure of this is the Clickbank "High Gravity" index.

Go to Clickbank again and click on the marketplace link at the very top of the page. In the search box select "money and employment" from the drop down menu in the category field. Select "All Sub-categories" and sort by "High Gravity".

Click "Search".

Item 5 when I just searched says "Paid Surveys" (it will probably be different when you search) and I've chosen this because it's easy to understand.

Go to Ezine Articles and search for Articles on Paid Surveys. Read 5 or 10 articles and then cobble together a 300 word article of your own based on the information you have gleaned from those articles. Don't blatantly steal the articles or you're into copyright infringement and it's not very nice anyway… just get some ideas and write your own brief article.

Click on the "Paid Surveys" link on the Clickbank site and make sure this is something you'd want to promote.

Next click on the "create hoplink" link and create your affiliate link. That's how easy it is to become an affiliate at Clickbank… it takes seconds to create the hoplink. Copy and paste the hoplink in a safe place.

Now you go to Go Articles and login and go to "submit articles".

Paste your article into the appropriate box and enter your name, article title and keywords.

Now move to your "profile" box and paste something like this: --------------------------------------------------------

"If you'd like to learn how you can get paid to do surveys at home just click on the link below:

http://(YourClickbankID).(Affiliate ProgramName).hop.clickbank.net/" ----------------------------------------------------------

Preview and publish your article and you're done.

If you've written a reasonable article, chosen your keywords well and have a catchy title then people will search on your keywords, see your title, read your article, click on your link and go to your affiliate page.

It's within the realms of possibility that the first visitor will enroll in your program or buy your product or book… but this is not the usual outcome so don't be disappointed.

It takes a few articles to generate a web presence and get any reasonable traffic and of course there's lots to learn between the lines here to become an accomplished article marketer and affiliate marketer; but the process really is this simple.

The real trick is actually getting started and doing it.

Online MLM Success - How To Build a Massive List and Explode your MLM with Co-reg Leads!

2007-11-12T14:19:00.000-08:00

The easiest way to build your business online is to have a list that is willing and eager to receive your emails. This applies to your MLM or any marketing business online. That may change down the road, but for today that's the best way to go.

Selling to someone who knows you and trusts you is way easier than just emailing any old list.

What are co-reg leads?

Co-reg leads are people who have answered an ad on the internet and have filled out a multiple choice form where they tick off their areas of interest-they co-register for various lists. When they submit the form they have indicated their willingness to receive information on the topics they selected. And that's all. Their level of interest is usually quite low.

So when we start with co-reg leads we are pretty much starting with "any old list". They're a bit better than that but not much. They have shown an interest in having an online business (among other interests) but that's about all.

Your job is to wean them out and warm them up! You do this via your "free offer" initial incentive (usually a how-to book or report) plus a series of 4 or 5 info packed how-to emails in your follow up email series on your autoresponder before you introduce an offer.

Your next step is to offer them a "how-to" E-Book or software program that will move their online business forward. It doesn't matter if you're an MLM team builder or a straight internet marketer, making product sales is a great thing to do.

In MLM we call this the "Funded Proposal". You use your online list building to pay for your online list marketing costs and if you're good… have some left over to save or spend.

Statistics are that you'll only get to retain 1% of the leads on the low side and up to 10% on the very high side. I'd sort of go with the idea that you're only going to retain 2%.

The big advantage of co-reg leads is that they're very cheap and you can build a list very fast. You can buy 25,000 leads for as little as 0.2 cents per lead from a wholesaler and up to 2 cents and more from a re-seller.

So if you buy from a wholesaler, your qualified warmed up leads that you retain; leads that will buy your front end product and probably even eventually join your MLM team, will cost you 50 times more than your original purchase price (2% is 1/50th retention so multiply the cost per lead by 50)… so that's about 8 cents each from a wholesaler and 80 cents each from a re-seller.

If you find a wholesaler who provides good leads and you can keep out of the Can-spam complaints arena then you can conceivably build a list of 10,000 names for as little as $800 and up to as much as $8000 for re-seller leads.

A list of this size can easily earn you $1000 to $4000 per month and more if you're a good marketer with good products, so I think you can see the potential.

Until you try them out it's pretty much impossible to tell how good the leads will be until you try out each provider and I don't want to get into the referral game here. Just Google "wholesale co-reg leads" and go from there.

Finding an email service provider to send your bulk emails is the next step in the puzzle and I'll cover that in a follow up article.

Working with Co-reg leads is one of the ways a lot of the big pros have used to build such huge lists.

Online MLM Success -How to Drive Massive Traffic to your List!

2007-10-05T14:43:00.000-07:00

So what exactly is massive traffic! What's massive and what's pathetic?

Let's talk about the background business you should be running alongside your MLM to generate your marketing budget… what we call the funded proposal. This is where you offer affiliate products and your own products to your list as well as promoting your MLM online with emails.

Click my link below and get my books if you want to learn more about this.

So what does it take to make money online?

If you only make 1 cent per visitor to your sales page per month then you'll need 100,000 visitors per month to generate $1000 in income

But if you can raise that to $1 dollar per visitor then it only takes 10,000 visitors per month. Don't let that frighten you… that's only 300 visitors per day which is very achievable as you grow your web presence.

What works best for you… 100,000 or 10,000?

Personally, I would rather make more per visitor than to have billions of visitors - of course, both would be nice - but if I had to make a choice (and I have) I would go for the quality.

I drive the bulk of my traffic to my web site using article marketing. Sure, it is harder work than buying cheap traffic - but it converts way better than any other traffic I get.

So go for the quality traffic. When the chips are down… quality will win out!

You see, with a quality lead, who really wants to read your emails; who comes to value your articles and really wants to learn from you… you will have a subscriber who will buy your product and join your team because you have demonstrated that you stand for quality.

Online MLM Success-How To Use Blogs To Explode Your List!

2007-10-05T14:23:00.000-07:00

If you want to build your MLM online then you need a list!

There are a number of ways to get a list and in my opinion we need to be making use of them all.

You can try:

Pay-per-click, Article Writing, Website SEO, Email, Chat Room Postings and Blogs etc.

Today, let's talk about "Blogging"… how will this help you with your list?

Many of the blogs, especially Blogger.com (powered by Google) carry high rankings in the search engines, and they are better candidates for getting good links than just picking any old web site out there.

What's the process to make a blog work?

What I do first is to write a lot of articles and post them to my blog at the same time as I'm posting to my Article Directories. Don't forget to attach your Resource Box or your visitors won't have a way to contact you.

The Search Engine spiders like to see lots of new content to make them happy with your site. They want your visitors to have a rewarding experience when they visit.

With enough articles posted on your blog the search engines will begin to bring you traffic.

The advantage of blogging is that there are no rules to comply with like the Article Directories so you can just make a 100 word post for a quick comment on something that strikes you, if you want.

If you Google "Blog Online MLM Success" without the quotes you'll find my blog if you want to have a look at what I do.

The next thing you want is to attract links from other bloggers. The spiders love inbound links too… but I must tell you I've not really done this aggressively… I tend to rely on the Article Directories for my traffic.

There are a number of ways to get links from blog masters at other blogs.

One way to do it is to simply write the blogs and ask them if they will link to your blog or squeeze page, in exchange for you linking to their blog. If you want traffic to your squeeze page you can set up a page on your web site where you link to other blogs, and put a link to their blog on that page. And remember… if you have your Resource Box on your Blog some of your visitors will visit your squeeze page anyway.

Or you can do this:

Respond to blog posts. Many bloggers will ask their visitors questions, and if you are much like me, usually you simply read other people's responses - but fail to leave one of your own.

However, in many cases, the bloggers will give you a live link to your web site if you will post a response.

Here's what you can do. Check to see that the other blog posts include live links to the posters' web site - then if they do, you can enter comment.

One of the real keys here is that it needs to be relevant, so make sure you are posting to blogs in your niche… you don't want to be a spammer.

Explode Your MLM Online--The Wave Of The Future--Don't Be Left Behind!

2007-10-02T22:52:00.000-07:00

MySpace, Friendster, Facebook , U-tube…the wave of the future is social networking! It's taking over the traditional methods of web marketing and if you're not in the game you'll be left behind.

In the print space MySpace, Friendster, and Facebook are the front runners with MySpace way out in the lead. But friends tell me that Facebook is fast catching up.

And then we move on to U-Tube and that's another game altogether. Video is here and it's now easy and U-Tube is a presence all on its own and deserves a whole book so I won't try to cover it here. But it's fast carving a presence that we won't be able to ignore.

Personally I still rely heavily on article writing and publishing to generate visitors interested in my topic, but I'm branching out into these networking arenas.

Click my link below if you want to know how article writing can explode your business.

Social networking sites are still quite new and are a great place to promote your business but you need to do it in a professional way… after all, these sites are primarily about connecting with people and posting your profile, not for aggressively advertising your business via unsolicited messaging.

Lots of social network users are becoming wary of the practices of unscrupulous online business promotion, viewing it as the ultimate form of spam. They feel that the sanctity of their space is being invaded, just the way email has been.

If we want to make use of these sites to promote our own businesses then we need to find a way to get past this attitude. Acting responsibly is the answer.

Here are three things you can do:

1. Get Referrals:

Look for friends using these sites and ask them to refer you to their friends. If you come in via this door then you are much more welcome that if you bash the door down with spam.

2. Be willing to Go Slow:

Take your time. Gently ease yourself into the community, just like you would at a party where you are the stranger.

3. Put your best face on your Site:

Just like you would if you were showing up for a job interview… you'd dress appropriately and wear your best clothes.

Put a good quality picture on your profile. Nothing screams amateur like a poor quality, washed out, out of focus photo of you in your grungy clothes. If you can afford a professional shot then get one taken.

And do the best possible job you can on your template and layout presentation. The sites will offer some professional templates and if you can't afford a professional to set it up for you then take the time to learn how to do it yourself.

You will need more than the standard profile page if you hope to grab attention.

And don't overdo your business introduction.

4. Visit other people's sites and leave a greeting:

Connect with people with similar niches to yours and get yourself known… swap links by leaving comments on their sites and invite them to visit yours. Try to find groups that could become customers down the road.
Send them personal messages, thanking them for accepting you. Take note of their birthdays and send them birthday greetings… we all love to be recognized on our birthdays. Set up a tickler file to help you stay current with this. And just visit with them for the hell of it… you'll make a friend and somewhere down the line the business will flow.

This is pretty similar to the way you can establish your presence in Blogging or Chat sites. Over time you'll make your presence felt.

Once you attract an audience to your social networking site you will still need to get them onto your list. I can show you how to make that happen.

Build Your MLM Online--4 Surefire Ways to Grow Your List!

2007-09-27T22:56:00.000-07:00

Your list is the backbone of your business… no list, no business! To build a list you need traffic… visitors to your website who subscribe to your list.

Traffic makes the Internet world go around!

To get traffic your visitors first need to find you in some way. When they find you there needs to be an opt-in box on your webpage that will allow them to subscribe and an autoresponder that will organize these respondents in to a list you can phone or email.

A high ranking on the search engines is one way to do this. If your listing shows in the first three pages of a Google search, then this is prime real estate… you have arrived. You will almost certainly have people clicking your link and visiting your webpage.

Here are some ways you can make this happen:

You can write articles on topics relevant to your business and publish them on article directories.

The article directories have extremely high Search Engine rankings because of the frequency and diversity of their new postings… the spiders love new material and lots of pages on a site.

You effectively get to ride on their back. I have had sites indexed in less that one day with only two articles posted on one directory. This is an amazingly powerful tool for getting traffic.

Why is that?

Because you get to put a resource box at the end of your article with your contact information advertising a free book or report. People who find your book description interesting will elect to subscribe to your list.

The second benefit is that these articles begin to grow exponentially (going viral we call it) as other Ezine publishers post your articles to their sites, complete with your resource box.

You can visit forum sites and make regular posts to appropriate threads.

When you post make sure to attach your resource box at the end of the post. If you become a regular visitor and other forum members find your posts valuable they will begin to click your link for your free material and will subscribe to your newsletter.

Sometimes they will forward your post to other friends and this technique goes viral too.

You may also want to consider exchanging links with some other reputable established sites whose content impresses you.

Back links add to your Search Engine ranking. Just try to make sure that the site you are exchanging links with has something that relates to your own site content.

Start a Blog

Just go to Blogger.com and start your own blog. It takes about five minutes. Post to your blog every day. Remember the spiders love fresh content. Post your articles and business commentaries and some personal information if you like.

Then visit other blogs in a similar space to your own and add comments to their posts. Ask them to visit your blog and post a comment and you have another backlink.

There are many more things you can do to expand you web presence and your prospect list.

Build Your MLM Online--What You Can Do To Make "MySpace" Work For You!

2007-09-24T14:01:00.000-07:00

Would you like to use your MySpace site to promote your MLM.

Do you know how to do it?

Then here's some information that will give you a great platform to get started.

As you know, MySpace is a social networking website… what's being called Web2 these days.

One big advantage of MySpace is that you almost instantly have your own website… for free… and you don't need to know anything about programming on the web.

It's strictly point and press and it's dead simple. This can save you a lot of time and money and have you up and promoting your business on the web in the next hour… it's that easy!

I see MySpace as an add-on… another tool to promote you business and build your list.

With MySpace you can communicate and build relationships around the world, create a blog and air your opinions and use it as a great business promotion tool.

Here are some great ideas to generate more targeted traffic:

a. Make your MySpace site more attractive and enticing. Do what you can to give it a professional look and feel. Use quality photos on your site rather than the low grade disasters you usually see there.

Dedicate your site to your business. Don't fill it with irrelevant ramblings and trivia. You want to create a professional image. Give your visitors very relevant, informative, useful, and dynamic information about the MLM industry in general and your business in particular.

b. Invite your friends and your relatives to come and visit your MySpace site. Make sure you make it open to the public. You want all the traffic you can get.

c. Visit other relevant MySpace sites and other blogs and invite them to visit yours.

It's OK to reach out and make friends. After all, that's what social networking is all about.

Once your MySpace site is up and running you really do need a website of your own dedicated to your business, if you want to really build successfully on the web.

Having your own dedicated website gives you a professional presence online and it's quite easy to do.

Build Your MLM Online-Here's How To Use Email Marketing!

2007-09-21T11:48:00.000-07:00

If you want to build your MLM online you are going to need to build your prospect list and then put them on your newsletter e-mailings.

One way to do this is to buy a list of auto-responder names from a list broker and send them a series of emails.

E-mail marketing is regarded as one of the pillars in the marketing arena having been in used for quite some time in thee marketing field and by most businessmen. Its undoubted capacity to generate positive results in the business made it one of the most significant online marketing tools.

However, with the advent of the Internet technology and the modernized ways of sending e-mails that solicit advertisements, many online users have been very cautious about receiving and opening e-mail from people they do not know.

Here are some pointers that will help to make your emails more deliverable:

a. Do not use words such as advertisements, sale, free, extra income, MLM or home business or similar words as your subject line. These are some of the most tracked subject lines that are being blocked by spam blocking programs. This also goes for the body of your e-mail.

b. Always use the standard font size and font color for any e-mail marketing. Never use any font size that is beyond what is professional looking. Do not overly color your e-mail, too, as this looks not so professional. Generally avoid other formatting effects for text, like italics and bold, as this does not convey professional looking e-mail either

c. Avoid putting graphics and animations on your marketing e-mails. Graphics and animated flash files can look professional but an email from a friend is more likely to be in text format. Besides that, since these graphic and animated files are way too big in terms of file size, it slows down the loading time. Your recipient may get frustrated and just close and delete you.

Whatever you can do to automate your MLM business is an added plus. The internet is a great tool and is rejection free.

Online MLM Success - Build your List with Website Visitors - 6 Easy Steps

2007-09-17T21:57:00.000-07:00

Do you hate rejection as much as I do?

Then let's do something about avoiding it as we build our MLM business.

The best way I know to do this is to build your list on the internet.

You'll need a website, a landing page with opt-in box attached, an autoresponder and a free product to give away in exchange for people subscribing to your site.

I suggest you begin by writing articles to get your site indexed by the search engines. That's a whole topic in itself. If you click my link below you can download my free book on exactly how to do that.

Once you have your website and your autoresponder set up you need visitors to your site if you want to build your list.

One way to do that is to generates links. How many other websites are linked to you and how much traffic do those links produce for you are things that Google looks at when ranking your site.

When we speak of link popularity, it doesn't only mean linking your website to as many webpages as you can. They need to be targeted, relevant, quality links that produce traffic to your site.

If you want to know more of the basics of building your MLM on the internet then click my link below and get my book "The Perfect Online MLM Business".

Here are some things you can do to generate quality links.

1. Submit your articles to article directories.

Writing informative articles and submitting them to free article directories gives you credibility and creates a back link for your website. All you have to do is to include a link to your webpage in the resource box or transform one of your keywords into a hyperlink.

2. Comment on blogs.

Secrets Of Online MLM Success--How To Guarantee Your Business Explodes! A Step by Step Plan!

2007-09-12T17:09:00.000-07:00

You want your business to explode? But you're afraid to approach your warm list?

So not much is happening? You're not approaching anyone? In fact you're pretty much treading water right now…?

You can certainly use pay-per-click or article marketing to create a stream of prospects to your website… but what if you're not totally computer and internet savvy… what are you going to do then?

Here's what you do… step by step… to create an explosion in your business!

You start leading with the product instead of the opportunity… but there's a trick to this and it takes a bit of lead time.

First you write a book on one of your products and offer it for free on your website! And don't panic! I'll show you a really easy way to do it.

People have an automatic respect for published authors. If you've written a book, people will take you seriously… you surely must be an expert if you're in print. All of a sudden their perceptions about you are changed. They want to read your book… especially if it's free!

Let's say you're in a health and wellness related MLM, which lots of us are.

You find the product in your product line that has the most sex appeal and you write a book on the subject.

Weight loss is big, big, big and you really should be grabbing onto this market if you can. But if you don't have a weight-loss product then go with whatever you've got or join an MLM that has one.

I've written a book called "Lose Weight Never Go Hungry". If you'd like to see what my book looks like, just click my link below and request my MLM book , then shoot me an email and I'll send you a copy.

If none of your products are particularly sexy (I find most people can't really get excited about vitamins for instance and we end up beating a dead horse) then choose a product that is somehow related to "weight loss" or whatever else you can think of to add some excitement to your approach.

Let's go with the weight loss idea for now:

From here you create a sexy story about your product or about this ingredient in your vitamin/mineral line that really helps with weight loss.

Now here's your new approach. You say to anyone you come in contact with, warm or cold market:

"Hey John/Mary, did you know I'm in the weight loss business. I've written a book. It deals with the way that certain vitamins and minerals can really help to make weight loss easier. Everywhere I turn people seem to be looking for an easy way to lose weight. Do you know anyone who might like to lose the craving and drop a few pounds? Tell you what; why don't I email you the URL for my book."

So what can be sexy about vitamins?

Here's one great idea:

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)

"Scientists believe that many humans are genetically predisposed to obesity. Brain serotonin levels seem to have a major influence. Serotonin tells us to stop eating after we are full. If we're down on serotonin, our brain does not tell us to stop eating. So we keep right on eating and gain a lot of weight."

"Serotonin in the brain is produced from 5- HTP. Animal studies show that supplementing with 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) turns off the craving for food."

Here's another one:

Chromium

Insulin insensitivity is considered by many modern scientists to be another major cause of obesity. Chromium plays a key role in increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin. Without chromium, insulin's action is blocked, blood sugar levels are elevated, and the sugars turn to fat instead of muscle and lean tissue.

Increase insulin sensitivity with a supplement rich in Chromium and you can help strip away that fat.

So what about that?

All of a sudden instead of that boring old vitamin line that nobody really wants to hear about, you have a sexy, little known supplement that can really help reduce hunger cravings.

Do your own research and you'll come up with lots of ideas. In fact I think it's such a great idea that I'm going to write a short book or a report on this very subject myself.

How do you write the book?

This is really simple… you just Google a phrase like "vitamins minerals weight loss" and you'll get 2 million hits. Browse the articles that are relevant, choose the parts you like and copy and paste them into a book. Then re-work the content so you're not lifting the authors phrasing directly and you've got your book. It can be as short as 10 pages of 12 point type in Microsoft Word… say about 3000 words. Try not to make it more than 20 pages. You want the reader to finish it.

Now you have broken the ice, your prospect knows you're in business and you can follow up. My number of warm market approaches exploded when I did this. There is virtually no rejection.

But I like to be hitting all the bases, so I'm still very active online too.

Secrets of MLM Success--The Easiest Way to Make Big Money Fast!

2007-09-12T13:42:00.000-07:00

What's the easiest way to build a big MLM business fast?

Incorporate the internet into your prospecting process!

The trick is to come to grips with the reality of the business!

Give up looking for the easy way and find the "best" way! Accept that right now you don't know what's the best way to do it.

If you're looking to generate $100,000 a year in "residual income" down the road then you would need to have $2 million invested in Government Bonds at 5% to get it. That's a lot of money and very, very few people ever get $2 million in cash together to invest.

That's a big job you're taking on!

Look what you're setting out to achieve… you don't have very much starting capital but you're looking to build a business in a few short years that is equivalent to having $2 million invested.

No wonder MLM seems difficult! The rewards are amazing!

Click on my link below and download my book. I'll show you how to do it.

Here's how to make it easy…

What do you need to build any MLM business?

You need a list of people to contact.

And this is where traditional MLM falls right on its face!

We all hate rejection. There's a part of our brain that does everything in its power to keep us from getting into situations where we might be rejected. Less than 5% of people are sales personalities. Sales people still hate rejection but they're not immobilized by it. The rest of us will do whatever it takes to avoid it.

So the typical route taken by most MLMers is to approach two people, get two rejections and quit. They're not weenies. They can't help it. Their limbic brain has taken them out of the game to protect them from the pain of rejection. I've had panic attacks that felt like heart attacks over this stuff.

So the trick is to build your prospect list on the internet so you don't ever have to go through the rejection experience.

I can help you here!

Secrets Of Online MLM Success--Market Your Product Online And Explode Your Downline!

2007-09-11T10:02:00.000-07:00

When it comes to building a Network Marketing or MLM business people seem to naturally choose one of two approaches to build their downline according to personal preference and how they were first introduced to their opportunity.

There are two basic lines of attack as far as I can see:

1. Prospect with the business opportunity.

2. Prospect with the product.

Each of these has its own advantage and I used to be 100% focused on prospecting with the opportunity because I felt better about that. Recently I've begun prospecting with the product and I'm amazed at how easy it is. I use a combination of 100% internet, telephone cold calls plus sending them to a capture page on the internet, emails, phone or face to face with friends and associates then send them to a capture page and I also pass out business cards and flyers to strangers with my capture page URL attached.

The capture page offers a "Free Book"… in my case a book on a weight loss system.

Weight Loss is huge and I decided to grab a piece of it. The market is estimated at $50 billion per year. You will find that dieting and weight loss are the biggest searched items on the web after pornography and online dating.

Once they log into my webpage, give their contact information and get their free book my autoresponder then sends them a pre-written automated series of emails explaining in detail how the weight loss system works and how they can get their product for free by joining my MLM team and duplicating my system.

And then I show them how they can get started on building a huge business of their own

I supply all the books, emails and web copy so it's pretty much a turkey operation.

If you want really fast growth then the secret here is to be marketing a product that truly does deliver on its promises and is in a hot market with high demand. Your customers will purchase your product, use it and get the result they desire and be motivated customers for life. They will refer your product to others because of their own successful experience and they will join your business to make money from their referrals.

This process really does work and the approach is pretty much rejection free.

If you write articles on your product category and include a link to your book you will get a flow of prospects from the internet.

Click my link below if you want to learn more about this. You'll find my email in the book. Just shoot me an email and I'll send you my weight loss book if you want to see what a free product related book looks like.

Secrets Of Online MLM Success: Why Weight Loss Is The Perfect Online MLM Business!

2007-09-11T06:11:00.000-07:00

Lead with the business or lead with the product. What's best?

I used to be 100% focused on the business, leaving the product to take care of itself. But then over time I noticed how loyal our Preferred Customers were and how their contribution to bottom line continued to grow.

I use every technique available to attract new associates. I use 100% internet, telephone cold calls where I send them to a capture page or video on the internet, emails, phone or face to face with friends and associates then send them to a capture page and I also pass out business cards and flyers to strangers with my capture page or video URL attached.

And here's where we come to Weight Loss

Weight Loss is huge and I decided I wanted a piece of it. The market is estimated at $50 billion per year. You will find that dieting and weight loss are the biggest searched items on the web after pornography and online dating.

I've always known we had a great Weight Loss product and people were having huge success with it, but I just didn't know how to approach overweight people. I know this is an emotionally charged area for people struggling with an overeating compulsion and I just didn't want to embarrass them with an approach for a weight loss system.

So where to start? I just didn't know.

But like all things, if we have a focus on an idea the solution will appear like magic right out of the blue.

I was following up on a lady business associate who had shown some interest in a second stream of income but hadn't really run me over with her enthusiasm. She said: "Jim, I just can't get excited about the product line. Now… show me a way to easily lose 10 or 15 pounds and I'm in."

I said: "You don't really need to lose weight".

And she replied: "Show me a woman who doesn't always want to lose 5 to 15 pounds"!

And there was my answer!

So I went into high gear, wrote a book on our weight loss system and created all of the web pages and autoresponders to get it online.

If you want to see what I've done with this just click my link below and download my book. Then send me an email asking for the Weight Loss Book. I don't want to post it here because this is an article on MLM.

When prospecting on the phone or in person I use the "Kim Klaver" approach:

"I run a weight loss business. I've written a book about how it works. Do you know anyone who would be interested in reading a book on weight loss. It's free and you can get it online. Here's the URL."

It's so simple!

They visit my web page, get their free book and the autoresponder does all the follow-up. If they leave their phone number and I'm not too busy I might give them a call.

Secrets Of MLM Success--Build On The Internet-Get Fast Success Without Rejection! Here's how...

2007-08-28T14:22:00.000-07:00

What's the easiest way to build a big Network Marketing/MLM business fast?

Use the internet to gather prospects, make presentations and do the follow-up for you.

You need to build a huge list of prospects… hundreds and then thousands and the internet is the most efficient way to do this.

But how exactly do you make that happen?

Here's what you do!

The first thing is to register a domain name (that's the URL for your website minus the www. and the .com parts at the front and back) and get a hosting account setup.

GoDaddy.com is as good a place as any to do this and the price is right.

Next you need to create and upload your capture page with opt-in form attached to your website. If you want to click my link below and register for my newsletter I'll send you some free software to do this. It's really easy to use.

You'll also need an auto-responder account. This is where you'll create your "Opt-in" form to insert in your webpage.

AWeber is a very professional auto-responder service and well priced too.

Your auto-responder will also send a timed series of follow-up emails to your visitors. The bad news is that you'll need to have a series of follow-up emails written. You can start with 5 emails but eventually you'll need 20. Make sure you provide lots of "how-to" content if you want your subscribers to remain loyal.

From time to time you will send out a broadcast email to your list with an offer of a "for sale" product they can buy from you. This is how you will begin to create the marketing budget you will need to help you grow faster via Pay-per-click and advertising.

And of course you'll need your free book-either one you wrote yourself or one you have a license to distribute. You offer this free gift on your webpage as an "thank you" gift for people who decide to subscribe to your list.

If you don't think you can write well enough, you can distribute one of my free books to anyone you like as long as you don't alter it and you leave the links intact. It will get you started until you create your own. Click my link below to get a copy if you think it will be useful to you. I'll show you a way to get a license so you can personalize it with your own name and details.

The visitors that do enroll for your free book will be highly qualified, targeted prospects for your business opportunity.

How do we get these prospects to visit our site?

There are a few methods that work very effectively: Pay-per-Click, Article Marketing, Ezine Advertising and Chat Groups.

Of these, Pay-per-click is probably the easiest and fastest but also can become very expensive. Article writing on the other hand is virtually cost free once you have your website and auto-responder set up, but unfortunately is slower to get started and requires quite a lot of focus and commitment. But the prospects from article marketing will be the best you'll ever get… except for your Mum and your brother-in-law.

I cover these topics in more depth in my books so click my link below if you want more info.

Secrets Of MLM Success: Use the Internet To Easily Enroll Strangers Into Your MLM Business.

2007-08-17T15:45:00.000-07:00

Sometimes we meet someone who we know has the personality to be great in our business… but we're afraid of the rejection if we approach them.

Why not combine face to face and the internet and expand your toolkit.

Here's the scenario:

You're standing in line at Starbucks. A really sharp person is standing in the line in front of you or behind. They look like they'd be great in your business.

What are you going to do?

Well if you want to add a lot of prospects to your list you better show up with your gun loaded for bear. The most efficient process, time wise, will be to send this person to your webpage to get your free book. You want to do everything you can to take the stress out of the situation for yourself and you and to make it easy for the person to say "Sure, give me your card or website".

So you will need to have your webpage with your opt-in form already active on the net. You'll also need an autoresponder account and a series of follow-up emails written. And of course you'll need your free book-either one you wrote yourself or one you have a license to distribute. For instance you can distribute my free book to anyone you like as long as you don't alter it and you leave the links intact. It will get you started until you make your own. Click my link below to get a copy.

Don't panic that most of these prospects won't actually visit your site. How many actually show for a meeting anyway? The ones that do enroll for the free book will be highly qualified.

You can of course ask for their card and phone them in a few days if they don't show up at your autoresponder… but if you want to work mostly online then just approach them, give them the website and move on.

Here's how you approach them. Shoot the breeze for a few moments and then just say:

"I've started a new business I'm really excited about and I'm looking for a new partner to work with. I think you could be really successful. You have a great personality (or whatever is appropriate). It's a Network Marketing business. Let me ask you a question: Are you at a time in your life where a Home Based Business could be a good fit for you?"

You'll get a lot of "no interest" responses, but more people than you imagine will be interested.

If they show some interest just say:

"I have a free book you can download from my website about how it all works and how you could participate. Here's my card; the website is on there. Take a look and call me if you have questions."

Sure a few of them will blow you off, but most of them will be polite. After a few tries you'll be way more confident.

If they say: "Network Marketing… isn't that a pyramid like Amway or something?" you can decide whether to continue the conversation or not. If they get on their high horse and try to put you down, let them go. You don't need people like that in your life. They only react like that because they have self esteem issues and you have wounded their vanity by not realizing that they're way too important to do "something like that". Feel amused by their little personality weakness… then get them out of your life ASAP. They'll poison your dream.

And then get back to business as usual!

I think in MLM it's best to have as many things as possible working for you. The Internet is a great tool for building a list of prospects.

Secrets of MLM Success--How To Deal With The Big Question: "Is This A Pyramid Like Amway?"

2007-08-15T22:08:00.000-07:00

When it comes to prospecting for MLM most of us are scared of the "what is it?" or "is this MLM" question.

Just knowing that question is lurking in the background waiting to pounce is enough to cripple us totally or at least turn us into stumbling idiots tripping over our own words.

Ever been there? I certainly have.

So what's the answer?

The answer is deceptively simple. Just don't put yourself in the situation where that question can arise!

How to do that?

There's a couple of ways:

The first is to prospect 100% online. If you want to learn how to do that just click my link below and get my free book and I'll show you.

The second is to tell them what it is upfront; just don't use the curiosity approach!

I know… I know! Your sponsor and all those other gurus have been telling you to absolutely not come out and say it's MLM or Network Marketing. But if you're not making those approach calls anyway because you're immobilized by fear, then what have you got to lose?

I believe the secret to MLM Success to go fast by starting slowly.

How does that work?

Don't rush out and start calling your list and try to hide from them the fact that this is MLM. Warm them up first. It is MLM! Don't hide it. Either tell them upfront or be totally ready to tell them it's Network marketing if they ask.

People hate to feel they've been tricked.

There's nothing to be ashamed of about MLM. It's a great business. It's the curiosity approach that makes people angry, so don't feel you have to use it.

Here's what you do:

Make a list of all your family and close friends and simply tell them casually in conversation: "Hey, you know what I'm really excited about. I've started a new home based business. There are lots of tax breaks and the chance to make a lot of money. I think this can really put us on the road financially… I'll let you know how it goes".

And then swing the conversation back to them: "So what have you been up to?"

That's it! Don't say anymore about your business unless they ask questions.

Some will ask you questions and some won't.

Let your answers be really low key.

And this is critical…

Absolutely do not jump in and ask if they'd be interested in looking at "your" business until they really put it out there that they are looking for something! You opened the door. Wait for them to walk through and then give them the information they ask for.

Over time keep them informed of your progress. Just casually drop it into the conversation. One thing I like to do is to ask their advice on something. Maybe something like: "Are you any good at writing? I wonder would you mind looking over something I've written". And just let it roll from there.

You'll be amazed how easily it will flow given some lead time.

I think in MLM it's best to have as many things as possible working for you. The Internet is a great tool for building a list of prospects.

Secrets Of MLM Success: How To Give A Powerful One-On-One Presentation That Really Gets Results!

2007-08-14T21:14:00.000-07:00

When you first sit down with your prospects remember this:

"It's not about you, it's all about them."

So give them just the bare minimum introduction about yourself and why you're there.

Something like:

"Hey, thanks for fitting me into your schedule. I know you're busy. I'm really excited about what I'm going to show you tonight/today. It's totally changing my financial future."

You then ask them some questions about who they are; what they do; what challenges life may be throwing up for them etc.

I've written another article that covers these questions in depth: "Secrets Of MLM Success: Seven Powerful Questions That Will Explode Your Enrollments!" You can Google it if you want more information on what to ask.

Only after you feel you know why they are looking at your business do you get to show them your presentation.

Here are some hints:

* Don't make it too long.

* Don't get into too much detail.

* Don't get hung up on the compensation plan (unless you've got an information hound).

* Just briefly show them retail profits, recruitment, commissions on downline sales and realistically how much they can expect to make in six months, a year etc. if they put in the time and effort.

* Show them the big picture too but don't frighten them off with numbers they don't yet believe they can achieve.

As you go along make sure to draw them in with questions:

"Do you see how that works?"

"Do you see how this could help you solve … (recap one of their needs here)?"

Then you Wrap Up:

"So that's how it works… what benefits do you see here for yourself?"

Here's where you ask for Questions:

"Do you have any questions?"

Answer the question and then say:

"OK! And other than that is there anything else you'd like to know?"

Answer all of their questions and then ask the enrollment question:

Enrollment: This is really simple… you just flow into it.

"Great, if you don't have any more question then let's get you started."

Pull out your enrollment form, pick up your pen and ask:

"OK, let's start at the top. What's the correct spelling of your first name?"

If it hasn't come up before, you can just about bet the question of "How much will it cost?" is going to come up here.

Answer the question, explain the options and ask: "Which one of those options seems most appropriate for you?"

You just keep looping back here; as the last minute questions come up, you answer them and go right back to the paper work.

Do it this way and you'll sign up a lot of people!

One on one presentations are very powerful but we want to incorporate all the tools we possibly can to achieve big success in our MLM business. Often people who work in the warm market neglect to harness the power of the internet. Using the internet to generate leads can really up your game.

Secrets Of MLM Success: Seven Powerful Questions That Will Explode Your Enrollments!

2007-08-13T16:31:00.000-07:00

Here's the first rule of making a presentation

"Your prospect doesn't really care about you."

All those people in the cars around you in the traffic… do you think they're thinking about you? Not a chance! They're totally focused on themselves and their own lives. They don't even know you exist.

So don't talk about yourself. Just give them the bare minimum introduction about yourself and why you're there.

Something like:

"Hey, thanks for fitting me into your schedule. I know you're busy. I'm really excited about what I'm going to show you tonight/today. It's totally changing my financial future."

Often the first few minutes of a meeting can be awkward… neither of you knows what to say. You're afraid of rejection and they don't know if they can quite trust what you're going to tell them.

You shouldn't work from a script, that can make you stiff and unnatural, but an outline of how the meeting will proceed can create a lot of comfort for everyone.

You need to qualify your prospect. Is this someone you really want to work with?

Asking questions puts you in control of the meeting and puts your prospect at ease because they are talking about themselves.

So having a prepared series of questions really helps to smooth the way. You can even have them on a questionnaire form if you like which you fill out while you're there. Lots of professional sales people gather information this way. Look what happens to you at the bank.

Here are some of the questions I ask:

1. "I've been wondering about you guys. Can I ask why you decided to take a look at this program?"

After they answer you congratulate them and ask your next question.

2. "Wow! That's really interesting. You know, if you don't mind, it would be helpful to me if I could understand a little more about your situation. May I ask you some questions?"

Then you ask: "You said that the reason you decided to look at this program was because… (repeat what they told you). What did you mean by that?"

3. And next the money question:

"Are you completely satisfied with the amount of money you're making right now?"

"Why do you say that?"

"What monthly income would make your life more comfortable?"

4. Freedom:

"Do you feel you are getting enough free time to be with your family and do the things you really enjoy?"

"Gee, that's a lot of hours at work. Do you see that changing?

"How do you feel about the commute?"

5. The job:

"What are you working at now?"

"How long have you been doing that?"

And then no matter if it's a long time or a short time you say:

"So you must really like what you do?"

"Oh! What exactly don't you like about your work?"

6. The first commitment question.

Here we get them to begin taking ownership of how your business could offer a solution to their problems.

"You said you would like more: money, time, freedom, security, job satisfaction, time for golf, money for education etc… "

Try to repeat back to them here the exact words they used to answer your questions… it's very powerful to do this.

"So if you could find a way to have that, would you find that attractive?"

7. This is the most important question of all.

Here we get them to take even more ownership of how your opportunity can give them what they want.

"If I can demonstrate to you that my company's business opportunity will solve all of the issues you have expressed to me today, are you ready to make a serious commitment and get started?"

The odds of them saying yes to this question are extremely high and if they do, the odds of them joining your business (if you want them) are extremely high too.

Finally… you get to show them your presentation.

But you've really prepared the ground and they will most likely be very receptive.

One on one presentations are very powerful but we want to incorporate all the tools we possibly can to achieve big success in our MLM business. Often people who work in the warm market neglect to harness the power of the internet. Using the internet to generate leads can really up your game.

Secrets Of MLM Success: How To Dramatically Increase Enrollments From One-On-One Presentations!

2007-08-11T08:25:00.000-07:00

The biggest untold secret of your one-on-one presentation
is this:

"It's not what you say or how you say it… it's all about
what the prospect says."

A one-on-one presentation is not a performance. You are
not the important player at the table. Most of the time
your prospects are thinking about their own lives and how
they will work out. It's a huge ego blow I know… but they
don't really care about you… or your success or failure.

Your prospect wants to know the answer to this simple
question:

"What's in it for me?"

The more your prospect talks about themselves, their
hopes, their fears, their dreams, the more chance you have
of enrolling them.

So here's the most important thing you do at a presentation:

"You ask your prospect questions about themselves!" You
interview them… and you listen!

If you have a road map to follow in the early minutes of
getting together with them, if you know exactly where
you're going with the interview, there won't be any
awkwardness to deal with. You won't be nervous… you'll be
professional and in control. You will run the meeting… not
them.

So have your questions prepared in advance.

When you first sit down with your prospect remember it's
not about you, so give them just the bare minimum about
yourself. Something like:

"Hey, thanks for fitting me into your schedule. I know
you're busy. I'm really excited about what I'm going to
show you tonight/today. It's totally changing my financial
future."

And then ask your first question!

Don't get nervous or impatient. Don't jump right into your
presentation here. You need to find out all about your
prospect first, so you know what parts of the presentation
to emphasize.

This is the meeting and greeting part of the presentation
and even if you're in the prospects home it's your
responsibility to put everyone at ease.

Asking questions and letting the prospect talk about
themselves is the best way to do this.

I have done thousands of presentations for all types of
sales businesses and I have found always, that once I get
the prospect to open up about themselves, their successes,
their hopes and dreams that I have made a new friend.

Rarely does a person get the chance to talk about
themselves to someone whose only interest is to listen
without interrupting. When you do this for someone you are
giving them a rare gift.

And remember: whoever asks the last question is in control
of the conversation, so always end a statement with a
question. That way you don't get caught in a corner by
questions you don't know how to answer… especially if
you've done a curiosity approach.

So if your prospect winds down after answering your
question you say: "Wow, that's, great. What did you do
next?" or whatever else is appropriate at the time.

This business is all about bonding. Once you've created a
friendship you're well on the way to trust.

One on one presentations are very powerful but we want to
incorporate all the tools we possibly can to achieve big
success in our MLM business. Often people who work in the
warm market neglect to harness the power of the internet.
Using the internet to generate leads can really up your game.

Secrets of MLM Success: What's The Biggest Thing That Will Hold You Back? and How to Beat it!

2007-08-09T17:02:00.000-07:00

What's the biggest bugaboo in this business?

Fear of rejection!

We all hate it but we have to overcome it if we're going
to have any success in this business… unless you go 100%
internet.

And now for the good news:

Fear of rejection "can" be beaten!

But that's not our present reality is it?

As soon as we go to pick up the phone or approach a
stranger most of us are filled with varying degrees of
fear. We know it's illogical… I mean what's the worst thing
that could happen? Even if we're going to just dial a
stranger and hang up as soon as they answer, we're still
filled with fear. Just thinking about calling someone and
inviting them to a presentation can sometimes immobilize
us. We just can't make the call.

What's going on here?

It's fear of rejection at work and often it's
overpowering…it cripples our ability to succeed in this
business.

Here's a pretty simplistic explanation of what's happening
in your brain and probably not totally scientifically
correct… but you'll get the general idea.

Fear of rejection is lodged in an old part of the
brain…"the Limbic brain". It stores all of our experiences
up to about age seven when we stopped thinking magically
and started thinking logically. It sends signals to our
emotional centers much faster than our logical brain can
respond and say: "hold on… it doesn't make sense to feel
like that". It hates change. You can't re-program the
limbic brain by thinking about it, or using visualization
or mantras or affirmations. It was there before the frontal
cortex fully developed.

The limbic brain only responds to experiential stimuli.
What's that mean? It means you can only change its
programming through taking action. You can't think it into
change.

Here's the only thing I have found that really works:
"Face the fear and do it anyway!"

But do it in little doses. Figure out what would be the
least scary way for you to find new prospects and start
doing that?

Start talking to strangers. That's all… just talk. Turn
around and say "Hi" to the person behind you in the line at
Starbucks. That's it… just say "Hi"… and then see what
happens. Sneak up on the "prospecting strangers" process.
Build your courage a little bit at a time. If this is easy
for you… no problem! But if you're a little uncomfortable
with strangers, then get game toughened by easing into it
gradually.

And quietly feel out your family and friends. Don't be
impatient and jump all over them until you have your act
together. Ask questions and find out over time who has a
need and who doesn't.

Creep up on the business and you'll finish strong!

I think in MLM it's best to have as many things as
possible working for you. The Internet is a great tool for
building a list of prospects.

Secrets of MLM Success--Explosive Growth--Here's the Real Secret!

2007-08-08T17:20:00.000-07:00

Do you want to know the best way for you to generate
Explosive Growth in your MLM business?

You've known it all along but maybe your sponsor has you
trapped in the myth of duplication "their" way, so you
don't dare let the thought out. But the reality is that if
this is going to work for you then your sponsor is pretty
unimportant in the equation other that to validate your
efforts every now and then.

Here's the reality: "Nobody else is going to do it for you"!

"If it's got to be, it's up to me!"

We all know that statement and it's so true. The only way
to become a self made woman or man is to be self made…
you've got to do it yourself!

The best way for you to succeed is to work at something
you love!

You need to really come to grips with the concept of
"who am I really?".

What does that mean in MLM?

It means finding the prospecting and training system that
"works best for you" so it's no problem for "you"
to do it every day. It means finding the times to work your
business that work best for you.

You see, if you're trying to squeeze yourself into
somebody else's way of doing things, you won't last very
long. Your motivation will die. What does it matter if you
try and fail? as long as you pick yourself up and get back
on the road again. That's the process of success. None of
us know what we're really capable of when we first get
started. We have a vision that our circumstances can
change, that we can finally fulfill our lifetime dreams.
We're filled with hope… but we don't really know how it's
going to work for us.

What if you could be successful beyond your wildest dreams?
Stay focused on your dream… your vision of what this
business can create for you. It is a "real" business. We
move a quality product into the market place and we get
paid on the volume of sales made in the organization that
we create. We start from scratch with nothing and we create
a business out of our thoughts.

If you just go forward in faith the way will appear. It
will come as little flashes of inspiration from time to
time that help you adjust course and make things work
better.

But you must get started somewhere! Don't put it off till
tomorrow… do something today that will move your business
forward.

Why not try building your business on the internet?

Secrets of MLM Success: How to Get the Money to Get Endless Signups from Advertising!

2007-08-07T20:02:00.000-07:00

Wouldn't that be great? Just place ads and people flock to
your door and sign up?

If you haven't done it this way yet it's probably because
you don't know how or you can't afford to advertise.

Maybe you don't even know where you can advertise!

I guess the three main ways to place paid advertising
would be:

1. Pay-per-Click.
2. Place ads in other peoples Ezines.
3. Place ads in Newspapers.

But it all costs money, right?

Let's look at the possibilities… with $500 a month
available to spend on advertising you can create a lot of
growth.

Seems a lot now to spend on advertising, but if you can
generate the money on the internet it makes a lot of sense
to do it this way. Click my link below and I'll show you
how to do it in detail.
I believe that the residual income from MLM makes it the
best bet to generate long term wealth. So why not invest a
small amount now for a big income in the future?

If you're looking to generate $100,000 a year in "residual
income" down the road then you would need to have $2
million invested in Government Bonds at 5% to get it.

That's a lot of money and very, very few people ever get
$2 million in cash together to invest.

Look what you're setting out to achieve… you don't have
very much starting capital but you're looking to build a
business in a few short years that is equivalent to having
$2 million invested.

No wonder MLM seems difficult! The rewards are amazing!

What we need to put in place is a process to generate the
funds to pay for that advertising budget... and while we're
at it, let's make enough to pay your monthly qualifying
volume at your MLM company.

Here's the way to do it:

You'll still need to have some seed money to invest
because you'll need a website (costs approx. $5 per month)
and autoresponder (cost approx $20 per month) so you can
build a list of prospects. There are free websites and
autoresponders out there but you have to allow ads on your
site. This can be an acceptable limitation in the early
stages until you can afford to upgrade.

The fastest way to get traffic is to use Pay-per-Click
(PPC). The advantage of PPC is if you don't get any clicks
you don't have to pay anything.

But the most powerful way to develop a quality list is
through article writing and marketing. See my free book
below.

If you can't afford a website or an autoresponder then
your next best bet is to start an affiliate program using
the Vendor's sales page. This means all of your available
funds can then be devoted strictly to getting leads to the
sales page via PPC. I do this with some of my affiliate
programs and it actually works. But you don't get a list as
well. The seller gets to keep the names of the respondents.

You want to be in a hot market for this and Weight loss is
the growth industry to look at (in my opinion). We have an
obesity epidemic going on and other than Paris Hilton and
Online Dating it's the most highly searched item on the
search engines. Weight loss is a $40 billion a year
industry and getting bigger fast… we want to get on board.

Click my link below and I'll show you an affiliate program
in the weight loss area that you can market like this to
get you started.

Secrets of MLM Success: Hit it Big with Effortless MLM Lead Generation-Rejection Free!

2007-08-03T16:51:00.000-07:00

Is you group exploding?

Do you have more leads than you can cope with?

Is MLM an effortless dance for you, gracefully gliding
from one successful step to the next?

If you're answering "no" to these questions then that puts
you right in the thick of the battle with most other
Network Marketers. Probably you're wishing it was easier
and struggling to find what will work for you?

So here's one idea that absolutely works, doesn't cost a
lot and gets you healthy at the same time.

Do what they do in Real Estate:

Build a "farm" of say 15 blocks square in your
neighborhood and start delivering flyers to the homes. That
will give you about 2000 homes to work with. If you deliver
200 flyers per day you can cover the area in 10 days. If
you take the weekends off you can cover the area twice a
month.

There's some lead time before it kicks in, but it's worth
it!

You'll need to shop around for someone to print the flyers
cheap for you. They just need to be black on white. Or
maybe it's less expensive to run them off on your own
printer. If you have a few hundred dollars to invest you
can get a black only laser printer that is quite fast and
does a great job.

If it's too expensive, just work with less homes or less
flyers per day.

Your flyer should go something like this:
_________________________________________________________

Start with a big bold headline, something like:

"Financial Freedom is Just Round the Corner"
_________________________________________________________

Then add some Bullet Points:

Would you like to:

" Earn Some Serious Money Part Time?

" Take a Holiday?

" Pay Off a Debt?

I can show you how!!!

Call me at: xxx-555-1212

or Email: your-name@your-email.com
___________________________________________________________

And that's it… it's a teaser not a "how-to" manual"… and
it's totally "Rejection Free"!

You just deliver the flyers like clockwork, 5 days a week,
and wait for results. And while you're doing it you get
fabulously fit with a great suntan.

You might consider paying paper boys to deliver the flyers
along with their papers… they'll do it quite cheap. It all
depends on your budget.

It takes about 7 to 10 flyers (or emails) for people to
start responding, so that's about 3 months before you get
any action. But you're not doing anything else about it
except putting out the flyers and waiting.

Amazingly, results will start to flow in, first a trickle
then a flood!

You can also use the Internet to create an endless flow of
targeted qualified prospects that you can show your
business to.sful online.

Secrets of MLM Success: How to Guarantee Unlimited New Signups-And It's Virtualy Free!

2007-08-02T21:14:00.000-07:00

Well that's a "Big Promise"… You've heard it all before!
Right?

But that's just exactly what I'm going to show you how to
do right here today!

I'm guessing that if you're reading this article that you
don't already have an endless flow of new signups in your
MLM business and you're wondering what to do to fix that…
am I close?

So that means that you haven't really found a strategy
that works for you. Maybe you've tried writing a list and
calling friends and relatives without a lot of success… and
you just hate the rejection (me too!). You've tried
approaching prospects in the mall or on the bus… same
result. And you didn't get much success buying a list and
calling the leads (I've done that one too!).

I'll bet there have been times when you've felt pretty
disheartened about the whole adventure… its way more
difficult than you thought it would be. You need some extra
income right now and you really want the freedom that comes
with a fat residual income; but you're starting to doubt
that you can do it.

And I already said this… "you just hate the rejection"!

So what's the answer?

Build your business online! To do that you need to create
a list of targeted qualified prospects that you can show
your business to.

Here's how to do it:

1. You need to create a simple webpage. I can give you
simple tools to do that. (Click my link below to see what
one looks like and join my Newsletter list).

2. You need to register a Domain Name or URL.

3. You need an Autoresponder.

4. You need a simple "give away" product to reward your
prospects for joining your list.

5. You need to write a timed series of emails to send to
your prospects.

6. You need to drive targeted traffic to your webpage and
have them op-in to your list. If you use article marketing
to do this it's virtually free.

7. You need to expose these people to your MLM opportunity.

That's a fat list of things to do and I want to show you
how to do it in more detail… but there's not enough room
here.

Secrets of MLM Success: How to Guarantee Success in Network Marketing!

2007-08-02T14:55:00.001-07:00

Hi There

As you all know by now if you've read my book: "3 Surefire
Ways to make Money Online" (you can click my link below to
get a copy), I believe that Network Marketing is the
ordinary guys shot at the big time.

If you haven't read my book you can download it FREE here: " 3 Surefire Ways to Make Money Online "

If you want to stay in the game until you win big, you
absolutely must generate a secondary stream of income (they
call it a "Funded Proposal) to pay for your marketing
costs and monthly qualifying volume costs.

This can be done with an Affiliate Program or by marketing
a product of your own.

I am working on a Network Marketing related "how-to"
product that will be finished soon that you will be able to
market on an affiliate basis with generous commissions.
I'll let you know when it's ready.

There are more millionaires produced in Network Marketing
than in any other industry!

It's simple, it's low risk, it costs very little to start,
but it ain't easy till you learn the ropes!

The big advantage of Network Marketing is two fold:

1. You don't need to keep re-inventing a new product to
sell all the time-that's taken care of for you.

2. You get exponential growth as your downline begins to
sponsor.

Probably the main reason people fail at Network Marketing
is they aren't making any money early on in the game… well
that can be fixed!

I want to show you how to remedy that… that's one purpose
of this Newsletter.

One of the critical strategies of success is simply this:
"Don't Fail Big"!

Just like the secret of investment success is "never lose
a big percentage of your money on any one investment". Or
in poker "don't bet it all on one hand".

So how does this apply to Network Marketing?

In Network Marketing people come in, try it for awhile,
see that it's costing money to stay involved and eventually
reach their "bail out point". That's the point where the
cost of keeping their distributorship alive is greater than
the power of their dream and they don't want to put anymore
money into the pot.

If you use a funded proposal and you build your business
using the internet you can by-pass a lot of these
challenges.

Secrets of MLM Online Success--Make Big Money Fast--Here's What You Need to Do!

2007-07-30T21:27:00.000-07:00

If you want to make big money fast in MLM then four very
important things have to be in place!

1. You must believe big time!

You must believe in your company, your product and your
process…but most of all you must believe in YOU!

2. You must believe "you" can do it!

If you've seen other people do it this way, then that's
even better…you can believe more strongly in the process.

But "you" and your belief in you are what will really make
it happen!

3. You must be absolutely certain that this is what "you"
want; that this goal is meaningful for you. If this is not
your goal, if you are doing it to please someone else, but
your heart isn't really in it…it ain't gonna work.

4. You must be absolutely willing and ready to make this
happen! No half hearted efforts here. You must hit the
ground running and then increase speed. You must be totally
ready to face your fears and banish them to the background.
This is not a time to be timid.

You must be totally ready and willing to step out of your
comfort zone and do whatever it takes.

If you do all that you will absolutely be successful.

And you'd better be ready to go short of sleep and free
time for a few months.
If you truly want to make it happen, then MLM can be
kicked off very, very quickly…but you've got to be excited
or it won't happen! A run like this demands momentum and
the real trick is to keep that momentum going after you hit
your initial goal.

Don't sit back on your laurels and just watch this
beautiful organization you've just put together. Or even
worse, decide it's time to train everybody. Your main job
always is to prospect and sponsor-to lead by example and
build! Don't lose focus and get lost in training people--
automate your training. Get it online.

Secrets of MLM Online Success--Make Big Money Fast--Here's a Game Plan That Works!

2007-07-30T21:17:00.000-07:00

If you want to make big money fast in MLM then you need
these four very important things in place!

1. You must believe big time!

2. You must believe "you" can do it!

3. You must be absolutely certain that this is what "you"
want.

4. You must be absolutely willing and ready to go out and
make this happen!

So with that in place…what exactly do you "do" to make it
happen!

It's hard for me to give you a game plan for every MLM
business out there-but most of them have a lot of
similarities. You can start people with a $20 (or whatever
minimum package your company offers) paperwork only or
online registration package, all the way up to a full size
premium starter pak that might cost as much as $2000
and up.

If you want to hit it big "fast", then you need to make a
huge recruiting run employing your company's maximum
starter package. Don't "product load" beyond this package.
That's not professional and it's not fair to your new
person.

This full size package will bring you the biggest return
dollar wise and all of your new downline will get the same
benefit. This isn't necessarily ripping anyone off.
Typically the maximum package represents the best value for
the money and contains everything a new distributor will
need to build a big business.

The "real secret" to the fast start is that "it's not
about you"! It's about getting your prospects excited about
how you can help them build their business. There has to be
something in it for them. If you are shooting for a
particular level or pin then get your downline excited
about making that happen for them too-or a least a level
below.

If you do it this way to are likely to way overshoot your
expectations.

Secrets of MLM Online Success: Does MLM Work?

2007-07-27T18:05:00.000-07:00

Well that's a ridiculous question to be asking. MLM
companies do billions of dollars a year in sales. Of course
it works!

I think the real question is: How does MLM compare to
other businesses and can "I" succeed at MLM?

Let me tell you a story:

I have spent over 30 years in the selling business.

When I first started I sold vacuum cleaners by
appointment…and I was successful at that where most of the
people were failing.

Why was I successful? Because I was desperate. I had no
choice but to succeed!

I had just arrived in Canada from Australia, didn't have a
job, the bank couldn't find my money, I had a wife and two
young children; I just didn't have a choice.

I pushed down my fear of rejection and soldiered on. And I
got over the fear and became successful.

From there I moved on to computer sales. Over the years I
have sold financial products, consumer products, major
engineering machinery, insurance, cars, used furniture and
appliances, personal development courses and of course MLM.
If you were to say I have a restless soul you'd be
perfectly correct.

But most of my time has been spent in one industry.

In all sales forces a few of the people make most of the
money…that's just how it is. And in my experience comparing
people of equal talent, it's the one who works the hardest,
who is driven to succeed, who comes out on top.

But MLM is different!

MLM is a business not a job. There's no employer here-no
quotas to meet, except those we impose on ourselves. No
expectations from the owner or the boss. If it's got to be
it's up to me!

In the early days, if I don't generate the activity then
nothing happens. If I don't move some product through my
organization either to customers or to other distributors,
then I don't make any money.

Most people aren't used to operating in this environment,
so often they find building their MLM business to be a
challenge.

Secrets of MLM Online Success: How do you make money in MLM and who gets ripped off?

2007-07-27T18:04:00.000-07:00

Now there's a great question!

I know lots of people who like to take the victim role
that are totally convinced that anyone making big bucks is
ripping the little guy off.

So let's put that one to bed…in MLM the little guy is a
volunteer!

It's not that anyone is getting ripped off. It's the
simple fact that in all businesses a small handful of high
achievers make significantly more income than the average.

MLM is not a job where you're on a fixed salary and have
to beg for a raise, while the President is entrenched at
the top making the big income. In MLM everyone is the
President of their own business and they can write their
own income check…if they want to work for it.

You start in MLM the same place everyone else started and
from then on it's up to you. In the typical compensation
plan you can make some money selling the product at retail.
Often the retail price is quite prohibitive so you end up
selling at wholesale-customers like to feel they're getting
a deal--and you earn the distributors override on your
product sales. That override varies, but in my MLM company,
its 10% to 20% depending how my business is structured.

Many people like to start by setting up a network of
preferred retail customers, often around the world, who can
order and pay for their own products online. A series of
emails keeps you in touch and many of these customers find
customers of their own so they enroll as a distributor. And
so your business grows and your income grows via your 10%
to 20% override on sales.

It's a very efficient process, but by some this is
considered the slow way to start. But on the plus side the
income is typically all residual so it's a rock solid
business.

Others, and possibly this is the majority, like to make
the override on the bigger sale of the starter packages, so
they begin with a program of recruitment and teach their
new associates to do the same.

Getting customers is often an overlooked segment of MLM,
where many associates focus on recruitment and personal
consumption only.

In my opinion if you want a rock solid business then you
want to do both; teach your team to make sure their monthly
qualifying volume is more than covered by retail sales.
That way they're always making some money and they don't
fall away. Besides, getting customers is a lot easier than
finding a willing candidate for sponsoring.

In a business built like this you truly can retire on your
residual income!

Secrets of MLM Online Success: Does anyone make any money in MLM?

2007-07-27T18:02:00.000-07:00

My first question: Compared to what?

How much time do you think the average MLMer puts into
their business?

Answer: Not very much…in fact maybe 2 hours a month and
most of that spent going to a seminar their sponsor drags
them to.

How much money do you think the average MLMer makes from
their business?

Same Answer: Not very much!

In fact it's probably mostly zero or negative. Lots of
MLMers hang on to doing their qualifying volume, because
they haven't totally given up on their dream…they want to
keep it alive...it's a little ray of hope on an otherwise
dark horizon and while they grumble at the cost they don't
want to totally let go.

Sound familiar?

How much time do you think the big earning MLMer puts into
their business?

Answer: Lots and lots of 12 hour days.

And how much do they make? Lots and lots…sometimes
millions of dollars a year.

Are they making all this money on the backs of all those
struggling small distributors? Not at all! The small
distributor isn't struggling…they generally aren't doing
anything.

How much time do you think the average realtor puts into
their business?

For those making the big bucks it's often 12 to 16 hour
days and usually 7 days a week.

But they all make big bucks…right?

Wrong!!!

Let's look at the Realtor profession for a moment:

In California there were over 500,000 registered realtors
in 2006 and they sold around 40,000 properties total in
June 2007. (This is a moving target so don't hold me to
those figures but they're in the ballpark). The average
property value was $480,000. So that's $19.2 billion in
total dollar sales in June. That's $38,400 per realtor on
which let's say they make 5% or $1920 per month each. But
that's just the average…some make more and some less.

The 2006 stats for realtors were these:

Of all the realtors registered in California, the average
income was $40,000 for the year. And of those 500,000
realtors, 50% of them, that's 250,000, earned less than
$15,000 in 2006.

Now some of them were stay at home mum's or retired people
who kept their licenses alive but didn't make any sales at
all, and a handful of others earned over $1 million for the
year…but still a pretty tough racket.

The realtors who make the big bucks work very hard, very
long hours and they deserve the rewards. But lots and lots
of realtors barely get by…particularly in falling markets.

Looks a lot like MLM doesn't it? Those who work make the
big bucks!

Secrets of MLM Online Success: How does MLM compare with other businesses?

2007-07-27T18:01:00.000-07:00

Let's look at that!

In a business or a corporation there's the owner or the
President. The owner is there for life or until they sell
their business, so you ain't getting that job unless you
buy them out. And typically the President is in office for
a long time too…often as much as 25 years or more. It
generally doesn't matter how much talent you have, if the
President has enough pull with the board you can't have his
job either.

And the VP's tend to have just as much longevity too.
They're hanging around waiting for the Pres. to either
retire or croak. I bet there's lots of VP's go to bed at
night hoping for a Presidential heart attack to sweep them
into power in the morning.

So let's do the math: in a company of say 60,000 employees
there's one President who stays in power for 10 or 20
years…not very good odds, huh?

So in despair you decide to start your own business. If
you have a million bucks you can start a McDonald's…but how
boring is that. You've just traded a million bucks and a
job with a salary, for a 24/7 noose around your neck and no
real guarantee of success other than the history of the
franchise to generate income. The buck stops with you and
you're motivated to not lose your investment-most of which
is owed to the bank anyhow.

Or you start something smaller with a more affordable
investment…maybe $50,000 to $100,000. Statistics point to
the fact that 90% of startup business fail within 5
years…half of them in the first year; mostly because of
lack of money, knowledge, discipline or motivation. You
blow your investment. Not a great statistic.

Which brings us to MLM!

You come in and you generally invest something in the
order of a couple of hundred to maybe two thousand dollars.
Typically you have no experience in business, no experience
at working for yourself, no experience at working with
people and no idea of what to do.

If your company or sponsor has a strong training program
you have a chance. But usually they tell you to make a list
of family and friends and invite them to a meeting.

You're too impatient to wait for your sponsor, you drive
over and invite them, they put you down, you hate the
rejection and that's it for you!

Game over before you get started!

There's an easier way…

Secrets of MLM Online Success: How to get Rock Solid Motivation!

2007-07-27T17:58:00.000-07:00

Well that's an easy one!

Until you know what you want to gain from your MLM
business, why you're doing it and what you're willing to
give up to make it happen, then you ain't goin' nowhere!

There's incredible power in a goal that you can truly
embrace! It will take you over and drive you on.
You'll never have to look for motivation again…it will
always be there.

Forget those dream boards and all that hoopla. Maybe they
work but I think they end up just being
transitory…frivolous stuff you think you want and put on
the fridge to keep your sponsor happy.

Your real "why" that will truly motivate you isn't just an
exciting or exotic goal, something it would be "nice to
have or to achieve". Oh, no! To truly be an effective
motivator your goal has to be gut-level-the total essence
of your being. Your soul must demand that you have it. You
know it's there but it's been hiding from you. Often
because you don't truly believe you can have it.

You see, once you know what you really truly want,
everything is possible!

Stumbling blocks become stepping stones. You work, you
fail, you re-design and you move forward again.
Don't waste your effort on somebody else's goal. Make sure
it's truly something that "you" want…totally without
reservation.

Say my wife would like the big new house, but I'd really
prefer the freedom that would come from having the income
generated from investing the money or maybe a boat. She
convinces me that the house would be great and I begin to
work toward this goal. Pretty soon an obstacle arises and I
give up.

Why did I give up?

That's easy! It wasn't my goal. I didn't really care about
a new house and my wife doesn't really care about the boat
I want. Goals are totally personal.

Often the goal is quite small; something that is
meaningless to others but incredibly important to you.
I remember a time when all I wanted was an extra $500
dollars a month so I could quit my second job which I
hated. Doesn't sound like much but it was enough to get me
started and keep me in the game.

Once I knew exactly what I wanted it was easy to put
together a plan to get it.

I knew what I wanted, why I wanted it and what I was
willing to give up to get it.

Secrets of MLM Online Success: Is MLM a Real Business

2007-07-27T17:55:00.000-07:00

I guess we start by considering what is a real business?

How would "you" define one?

Don't you think that if MLM was bogus that they wouldn't
be doing billions of dollars a year in sales?

And what about the claim that it's only the distributors
who are buying the product to keep their businesses active?
Well lots of distributors may be buying and using the
product, but mostly it's not to keep their businesses
active.

Why is that?

Because most distributors don't have a business to speak
of!

The average distributor sponsors 2.7 people into their
business in their lifetime. But that average is pushed up
by the active sponsors who enroll tens and even hundreds of
associates personally.

The fact is that most people who enter an MLM business
don't sponsor anyone. They ask two people to join, get
rejected, don't like it (and who can blame them; there is a
better way) and they stop trying. But lots of these
distributors joined the business because they saw a
personal benefit from the product. So they don't drop
out…they continue to use the product for years on end even
when there's no financial reward. Why is that? Because
they feel that the product is value at the price.

I certainly have had amazing benefits from the high
quality products distributed by MLM companies.

In my MLM business we do a lot of business around the
world with people who are just customers. (That's the
benefit of the internet and direct to consumer shipping).
They got involved to use the product, they find it's
beneficial to their health and they continue to use it for
years. Sure we sign some of them up as distributors on the
basis that they may tell someone of the benefits they are
getting from the product and actually stumble into building
a business that allows them to get their product for free;
but basically they are customers…and as distributors they
can buy at preferred prices.

A big chunk of our income comes from registered customers
who sign in to their account and order their own product.
No one is cajoling or "selling" them.

If an MLM company is successful then the customers think
the product represents real value. It does something for
them that they haven't found elsewhere.

Secrets of MLM Online Success: Is MLM Legit?

2007-07-27T17:52:00.001-07:00

What exactly is MLM?

Let's start by looking at that!

First off…MLM is a real business!

I know we hear lots of detractors telling us that it's not
a real business but truly it is. A real viable product is
moved from the manufacturer to the end consumer by an
efficient mechanism. These days the product is usually
shipped direct from the factory to the end user by mail or
courier.

Billions of dollars worth of product gets shipped every
year!

So does MLM really work? I think those billions speak loud
and clear…of course it works!

So that's my first point: Billions of dollars of product
get moved into the market place every year.

By contrast in a pyramid scheme, nothing of value is
shipped. A pyramid is our best example of "the greater fool
theory"…greed run rampant; people looking for a quick
financial fix without doing any work. As long as you can
find some gullible person to buy in, you get your money
back…otherwise you have no recourse. Well…maybe a really
good friend will refund your money but you're probably too
embarrassed to ask.

The next thing I hear all the time is this: "the products
are over priced".
Well my answer to that is: "Compared to what?" Lexus and
Porsche cost five or six times what you can get a Chevy
Nova for but I don't hear anyone saying they're over
priced. In fact most people dream of being able to afford
one. They see the value!

Typically, a manufacturer chooses to market their product
via an MLM sales model because the product is usually super
high quality. They refuse to compromise on producing the
best product they can. So typically the price is higher
than run of the mill substitutes.

Products like this can't be sold off the shelf in a
supermarket. It needs an informed distributor to convey the
value to the potential customer.If an MLM company has gone
the distance for a few years, their product has found
acceptance in the marketplace. Acceptance means the end
user has found an ongoing benefit from the product.

Critical Steps to Online Success-The Absolute Best Way to Build Your List!

2007-07-27T14:16:00.000-07:00

The most Critical Step to online success is to build your
list. Long term this will pay you more than anything else
you may do.

Why is that?

Because it's yours! You built it, you own it and if you
treat your clients well they will stay with you forever.

Article Marketing is without doubt the absolute best way
to build your list.

Have you tried it but find you're not having any success?

Are your articles not getting opened?

Do you want to know how to get your articles read and how
to get click thrus from readers?

Well there's a knack to it!

It's all in how you set up your article! Once you start
doing it right those click thrus will really start to click!

Here's what you do…

1. You must have a great title:

Getting your articles opened is all about the title. A
great title will grab your visitor's attention and they'll
click your article to see what's inside. A great title
grabs their interest-it tells the reader what they can
learn in the article, and it also arouses curiosity.

So what is a great title?

Great titles have clarity and directness. They stand up
and yell "action". They don't waffle around. They ask a
question…they promise a great outcome…they make a call to
action. They say: "Open "me" and your problems will be
solved."!

Visit a few of the article directories and look at their
"most read articles" page. There's a striking difference in
the directness and clarity of these titles versus articles
in general.

2. You must have a great opening paragraph:

Your first sentence or set of sentences must be just as
powerful as your title. You can't afford to disappoint your
reader. Tell them what they're going to get from your
article and why this will be a benefit to them.

If you don't do this your reader will feel let down…you
haven't provided what you promised… they'll click away and
look somewhere else.

3. You must continue to hold your readers' attention:
After the promise of the title and the opening paragraph
you must continue to hold your readers' attention. You must
now fulfill their expectations. Your information must be
concise, informative and to the point.

Give your reader useful information; information that can
be immediately put into action. Your purpose is wherever
possible to provide information that will make a positive
change in your readers life. You don't need to teach them
everything about the topic… that's probably a life times
work. One article of a few hundred words can't accomplish
this.

But, whatever you write…make it count. Don't just throw up
an article to get another one in the mill. People will come
to expect quality if that's what you provide and they'll
continue to look for your articles and be excited to read
them.

4. Place a compelling call to action in your bio:

At the end of the article you must place a compelling call
to action. You can also refer them to your link from the
body of your article; something like: "for more info click
my link below".

Don't just put your name and accomplishments and a link
in your bio… include a call to action. Tell the reader to
click through to your site for more information on the
topic. Tell them the benefits they can receive from your
site. Then add the link to your site. After that, put
your bio information--and your link again, or another if
you have two sites or two interesting pages.

Critical Steps to Online Success - Want More Traffic At Your Website?

2007-07-27T14:14:00.000-07:00

You know my thinking on this: If you do nothing else each
day, you must move forward on building your list-it's your
most Critical Step in the marketing chain.

And getting more traffic to your opt-in page is the way to
speed it up.
And by now you know that I believe article marketing is
the best way to make this happen.

Maybe you've tried article marketing, your articles
getting opened, but you're not getting click thrus to your
squeeze page?

Let's see what we can do to fix that…

First the good news: "you're doing something right"; you
must be writing titles that are attracting traffic to your
article or you wouldn't have any readers.

One reason that you aren't getting clicks on your link
might be that the reader isn't getting that far. You could
be losing them in the first couple of paragraphs.

Your first sentence or set of sentences must be almost as
powerful as your title. You can't afford to disappoint your
reader. Tell them what they're going to get from your
article and why this will be a benefit to them.

If you don't do this your reader will feel let down…you
haven't provided what you promised… they'll click away and
look somewhere else.

There's an old army adage that goes like this:

"Tell them what you're going to tell them; tell it to
them; then recap and tell them what you told them."

If you adopt this formula you'll have great success with
your article writing…but remember to keep the recap
short…maybe just one sentence or a short paragraph.

Let's say this is your title:

"Want to take Great Photographs? Is your camera letting
you down? Here's how to test it…"

You might start your article something like this:
______________________________________________________
Are you not very happy with how your photo shots are
coming out lately?

Would you like some help?

I have found that in all endeavors the best tools bring
the best results.

It just might be that your camera is falling down on the
job!

Here's a way to test your camera to find out if it really
is the culprit:

***Now you add some info on how to do this***
.
.
.

Then quickly you wrap it up:

If these tests indicate your camera is at fault you can
take steps to upgrade. Otherwise you need to look further.

the solution, we gave the solution and we wrapped it up.

Critical Steps To Online Success--Do You Need Help Building Your List?

2007-07-27T14:12:00.000-07:00

Have you been trying to build your list, but it's just not
happening?

Have you tried article writing but that didn't work either?

Are your articles getting opened, but you're not getting
click thrus to your squeeze page?

There could be a number of reasons for this.

If your articles are getting opened then your title must
be OK.

The next critical step is to have 2 or 3 short strong
opening sentences or paragraphs…I've covered how to do this
in an earlier article…you can probably find it if you
search my name in the index.

If you've done both those things and you're still not
getting many click thrus then you are losing them in the
body…the "information segment" of your article.

After the promise of the title and the opening paragraph
you must continue to hold your readers' attention. You must
now fulfill their expectations. Your information must be
concise, informative and to the point.
Give your reader information that will be useful to them;
information that can be immediately put into action. Your
purpose is wherever possible to provide information that
will make a positive change in your reader's life.

But, whatever you write…make it count!

This is a performance you are staging…your reader is your
audience!

Have you ever been to a comedy show where the comic
started to lose the audience? Often good manners will keep
them in their seats for awhile but eventually if it gets
bad enough they will leave.

You don't have the saving grace of good manners to keep
your audience reading your article. If you're not
delivering the goods in an interesting, informative and
professional manner they will click away and look elsewhere.

If you think this might be an issue for you then perhaps
you need to take some writing lessons?

Meantime, here are a few ideas that might help:

Create a plan for your article: opening, body, closing. A
length of 300 to 500 words is a good size article.

Then set out 3 or 4 main points that you wish to cover in
the body of your article, organize them into an order that
lets the ideas flow, and devote a segment or paragraph to
each.

Use numbered points if appropriate.

Break up your paragraphs-keep them short.

People don't like reading text in big blocks; it's hard to
keep your place. So make sure there's lots of white space.
I like to use semi-colons, dashes and 3 dots to allow me to
make a series of short strong statements rather than a long
run-on sentence.

Vary your sentence lengths…short, medium and long.

Make statements and let them stand out as a single line.

Don't repeat words in close proximity to each other.
And finally: "write in haste and correct at leisure". If
the ideas are flowing just get them down fast. You can
easily come back and clean it up later.

Critical Steps to Online Success-How to Speed Up Your List Building.

2007-07-27T11:49:00.001-07:00

Building your list is the most Critical Step on the road
to online success and there's no better way than article
marketing to make this happen.

If you've been working at article marketing but not
getting much success then here's the most important thing
to do.

Start creating powerful titles for your articles!

The title is all you've got to make a first
impression…it's your advertisement. You must make it work
for you! There's so much competition for a web searcher's
attention in the search engines today. Your article title
must stand out from the crowd.

It must reach out and grab the web searcher and say loudly:

"Read Me! I can help you!"

Without an attention grabbing title your articles will be
lost in the herd!

Visitors who read articles are looking for specific
information; a solution to a problem. Your title must tell
them how you can help.

Here's what a truly great title is all about!

"Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Young family slain by
crazed gorilla!"

Does that get your attention? Of course it does! And if we
can find a place where such an exuberant title is
appropriate that's exactly what we should use.

You don't really need to be quite as brazen as that…but
you get the idea.
Make it powerful!

As I wrote in an earlier article:

"Great titles have clarity and directness. They stand up
and yell "action". They don't waffle around. They ask a
question…they promise a great outcome…they make a call to
action. They say: "Open "me" and your problems will be
solved."!"

Here's an example:

"How to take Great Photographs: You must have a great
camera! Which one should you buy…?"

This title tells the reader right up front: "This article
will be about how to take great photographs". Anyone
looking for information on Dog Grooming knows that this
article isn't for them-but photographers will take notice
even if they were searching for something else. It goes on
to tell you that great photos need to start with a great
camera and then it promises to show you how to buy one.

The reader is left in no doubt as to what they will find
inside!

Compare this with:

"If you're finding your photos aren't very good you might
consider buying a better camera".

You see the difference?

The first one reaches out and announces itself…you
immediately know what to expect. This is an article on
"Taking Great Photos".

The second one tells the same story but it waffles and the
story is buried; you're three-quarters of the way along the
first line before you find out what it's about.

If you follow just this one principle you find a great
improvement in the traffic to your articles.

Visit a few of the article directories and look at their
"most read articles" page for some more ideas. There's a
striking difference in the directness and clarity of these
titles versus articles in general.

Critical Steps to Online Success -- How to Make your Squeeze Page Sell - Page Layout is Crucial to Success

2007-07-20T22:54:00.001-07:00

You've probably noticed that most sales pages and squeeze
pages are centered on the screen and only take up around
70% of the screen width.

There's a reason for this!

People have trouble keeping track of their place in the
text if the columns are too wide. If they can't easily read
your copy they'll simply click away to another ad.

Break your text up into short paragraphs. If the text
comes in long paragraphs it looks daunting and possibly
even threatening. Most people don't like to tackle complex
material so if your copy gives that impression you'll lose
your reader.

It's also a good idea to keep your screen background color
white and just put a simple box around your text. A
completely white page is very welcoming and gives off a
nice clean fresh vibe. Readers find this welcoming.

On the other hand a black background may be more dramatic
but it comes off as dark and foreboding… the black forest
and the wicked witch syndrome1

And only use graphics or images if they really add to your
message. Perhaps a picture of yourself or your product will
add credibility… but then again, perhaps not. If you're in
doubt… leave them out. Unnecessary distractions on your
page will just take attention away from
your sales message. Same goes for animation, audio and
video.

If you really want to include a particular graphic or
effect then run some tests, with and without, and see which
brings the best results.

People don't care whether you're an amazing graphic
designer or not. They want to visit a website that looks
like something they're used to… something they can trust.
There's a great sense of comfort in getting what we expect.
Give your visitors what they're used to and it's your first
step toward winning their trust.

Critical Steps to Online Success-How to Make your Squeeze Page Sell- Don't Confuse Your Visitors!

2007-07-20T22:47:00.000-07:00

Don't make your visitors guess what they're supposed to do
on your site. You must give them a strong call to action
and tell them exactly what they need to do to get the
benefits you outline! That's what a squeeze page is all
about.

Next to having a powerful headline your call to action is
the most critical element of your sales page. There's no
point getting visitors to your site if they don't know what
to do. If your visitor is confused about what action you
want them to take, they will get lost in the confusion and
leave.

Layout the benefits for them in a way that will be easy
for them to understand. This isn't a contest where you
demonstrate your superior knowledge. Tell your visitor
"what's in it for them" in plain simple language.

It's a simple formula. You state the feature, follow it
with the benefit statement and then make the call to action.

Let's say you sell a stress-relief product. Your copy
might say something like this:

"After doing research and testing, I found a set of really
fabulous relaxation CD's that solved my recurring migraine
problems, improved my sleep, and increased my energy
levels-all in just a few days!

"Click here now to learn how these CD's can soothe your
troubles away and lead you to a more healthy and happy
life."

As simple as that!

Remember that your visitors came to your website because
they were searching for something on the web and it looked
like you could provide it. They are wondering whether what
you have to offer will fill their need.

So make sure your copy is easy to read! I can't stress
this enough.

As far as fonts go my research tells me this: stick with
Verdana font in full strength colors for your text wherever
possible. Verdana is considered the best font for reading
online and even the very basic video cards can display it.
Times New Roman may be the default Microsoft Font but on
screen Verdana is easier to read.

Remember: You're not trying to amuse or entertain with
your site. Your goal is to sell! Give your visitors great
sales copy that's easy to read, tell them exactly how to
access your product and you're half way there.

Critical Steps to Online Success-How to Make your Squeeze Page Sell-Create a Strong Call to Action

2007-07-20T22:44:00.000-07:00

What exactly is a "Call to Action"?

If not the single most important element on your sales
page, then it's right up there with having a powerful
headline. There's no point getting visitors to your site if
they don't know what to do. If your visitor is confused
about what action you want them to take, they will get lost
in the confusion and leave.

Your sales copy must compel your visitors to action! And
it should be the action you desire. That's the whole
purpose of your sales page.

You don't get to have any personal interaction with your
potential buyers; you can't answer their questions and
handle their objections on the web. Your sales copy needs
to stand in for you… take your place; it has to do that job
on your behalf.

It's a vital role!

Your sales copy needs to tell your visitors what you have
to offer (your "feature" statement); it has to explain how
using your product will improve your visitors lives (your
"benefit" statement) and it has to create "value" in the
minds of your potential buyer. They have to feel that what
they will be getting is a bargain. If you can create strong
emotion around this…even better.

If your visitor can sense that you have their best
interests at heart, you have won half the battle. If your
sales copy is too slick and pushy you will turn them off.
Ninety-five percent of humans don't like to be sold. And
the five percent left are other sales people.

So speak directly to your visitor; let them know you
understand their needs. Let them know that providing
service and value is important to you.

You know the difference between "Features" and "Benefits"?

Features tell the reader what you have to offer. Benefits
are much more powerful… they tell them how your offer will
create a positive change in their lives.

A feature-benefit statement would go something like this:

"This car has a smooth ride, but not too smooth. You won't
feel the bumps in the road but you'll still get the benefit
of great cornering!"

Let your sales copy tell your visitors how your product or
service will be of benefit to them… and be sincere… no
smoke and mirrors! Make sure that what you are offering
will in fact live up to your promises or there won't be any
repeat business.

Critical Steps to Online Success-How to Make your Squeeze Page Sell-Create a Strong Headline

2007-07-20T22:43:00.000-07:00

Having a Squeeze Page up and hosted is one thing; driving
traffic to the page is a different challenge all together.

But how do you get your visitors to take action and opt-in
to your offer?

Here is the most important thing you can do.! It's pretty
simple but it will greatly improve your site conversion
figures… guaranteed!

Write a powerful attention-grabbing headline:

Your headline far and away is the most critical copy on
your web page!

Your headline should be right at the very top center of
your page. It needs to be in a large font size and
experiment has proven that "red" is the best color.

You must grab your visitor's attention and you have 7
seconds to do it… well maybe 10 seconds! You want them to
see that you've got the perfect solution to their problem.

Your headline needs to be "benefit rich". It needs to tell
them exactly how what you have to offer will be of value to
them.

You know the difference between "Features" and "Benefits"?

Features tell the reader what you have to offer. Benefits
are much more powerful… they tell them how your offer will
create a positive change in their lives.

You want your headline to let your visitors know exactly
how your site will make their lives easier... save them
money... save them time... increase their income... or
simply make them feel better.

Use formatting variations like bold fonts, underling,
italics etc to give your benefits more presence… you want
them to hit the visitor in the eye and rivet their
attention.

But be sparing… don't get too fancy. You don't want to
come off as an amateur.

Critical Steps to Online Success-How to Make your Squeeze Page Sell - Make your Webpage Easy to Read

2007-07-20T22:40:00.000-07:00

The most important person to see your sales page is the
visitor who has a need and is motivated to purchase
something to fill that need.

Your only job is to help your visitor find what they are
looking for. That's the real job of a professional sales
person. To give enough service and information to allow the
customer to make an informed decision as to whether your
product offers good value, is affordable to them and is
appropriate for their needs.

I see so many websites where the designer has gone off on
a wonderfully self gratifying, graphic design adventure and
completely forgotten about the needs of the reader.

The only purpose of your sales page is to communicate your
information to your visitor in a way that makes it truly
easy for them to reach the decision you desire; i.e. to
purchase your product or service or opt-in to your list if
it is truly a good solution for them. Everything else is
irrelevant ego gratification or just plain poor design.

And another thing!

Not everyone has amazing eyesight, so take this into
account too. I'm getting more and more long sighted. That
means I can't focus close up so I need to move my reading
material further and further away to be able to focus on
it. I like to wear reading glasses that allow me to focus
clearly on the screen from about three feet away. That's
about the standard distance for someone using a keyboard on
a slide out keyboard tray.

So what did you say… deal with it?

Well here's the thing: If you serve up text that is too
small or is in pale shades of grey or blue or green or,
heaven forbid, pink… people like me (and there's lots of
us) struggle to read it. We'll just close your page and
move on.

Don't make anything difficult for your reader. Don't do
anything to cause your visitor to leave your page before
they have had a chance to evaluate your offer.

Critical Steps to Online Success-How to Make your Squeeze Page Sell-Don't get too Fancy with the Design.

2007-07-20T22:37:00.000-07:00

Besides looking amateurish, a fussy site design will
confuse your visitor.

You've seen those sites with all sorts of graphics on the
background and lots of flash videos going off all over the
place. They demonstrate that the site designer knows their
stuff but the visitor has no idea what you want them to do;
and often the background graphics obscure your content so
it can't be easily read.

Keep it simple!

Choose one or two, maybe three colors and a couple of
fonts and stick with that design. Nothing looks worse than
a jumbled array of colors, fonts and styles. And absolutely
don't add textures or dark colored backgrounds; the test
becomes too difficult to read.

People like to get what they expect… what they're used to;
we don't really like surprises. Your visitors are used to
reading dark print on a light background… so give it to
them.

Don't use more than three colors plus maybe some yellow
for highlighting; and make sure your colors are web safe.
Lot's of internet users are still working with computers
that have very basic video cards. If you go throwing
sophisticated color shades and tints at them you'll
completely lose the dramatic effect you were trying to
generate by the time a very basic VGA video card gets to
interpret it on the screen.

What are web safe colors?

Basically they're the original 16 colors that came with
Dos. If you just stick with your basic black, red, blue,
dark blue and yellow you'll never get into trouble with
font colors.

Your visitors came to your website because they were
searching for something on the web. They clicked on your
site listing in the search engine page. They really hope
you can fill their need.

Give them great sales copy that's easy to read and you're
half way there!

Secrets of MLM Online Success-Use Pay-per-Click to get Prospects to a Seminar in your City.

2007-07-19T10:19:00.000-07:00

Your MLM company is planning a big seminar or marketing
plan presentation in your area but you have no one to drag
out…you've approached everyone you know and lots you didn't
know. People cross the street when they see you coming.

How on earth can you find some new prospects to invite?

Find them online!

If you want to do it this way then your best online
prospecting option is to use Pay-per-Click.

Open your Google AdWords site (or enroll for one if you
don't have one already…it's free), write your ad etc. and
then go to "Edit Campaign Options" and go down to
"Countries and Territories" on the bottom right hand side
of the page and click on "Edit" .

Now you'll be at the "Location Targeting Options".

At the top of the page above the "Countries" box you'll
see a long green bar with this inside: "Your campaign's
location targeting option: Countries and Territories" and
following that will be a link that says: "Edit". Click this
link.

You can now choose whether you want your PPC ad to be
shown in a particular State or you can select a specific
city or several cities.

Now when your ad runs only people in the selected
geographic locations will be able to view it. And of course
you'll get a much smaller response, but your traffic will
be geographically targeted.

Now that you've limited the traffic to the location of your
seminar you can afford to increase the amount you're
willing to pay up per click for the most favorable keywords.

In other words; you'll get less traffic at your website,
it will cost you more per click but they'll be worth more
because you have targeted them to the location you want.

As well as your MLM efforts you'll need a Funded Proposal.
If you want to stay in the game long term you'll want to be
making some sideline money early on to fund your marketing
programs.

Secrets of MLM Online Success-What do you do if your company doesn't have an online presentation?

2007-07-19T10:16:00.000-07:00

The Internet can be useful in many ways to increase the
efficiency of your prospecting and recruiting efforts. You
don't necessarily have to use it only to generate prospects
at your website. You can use the internet to host your
presentations.

For me the greatest gift of the internet is that I can now
avoid all of the drive time and no-shows I used to sit
through.

You can work your face-to-face market. You can hand out
business cards with your presentation site listed or use
flyers or tear-offs and send them to your online
presentation. It can save huge amounts of time if your
prospects are viewing an online presentation while you're
doing prospecting or follow-up.

But what if your company or upline doesn't have a suitable
presentation online? What if you can't find one anywhere
and you don't know how to create one yourself?

In this case you'll want to get your prospects phone
number either in person or at your opt-in page and then
create some material of your own on your own website or
email them. Then you can walk them through a presentation
on the phone.

You don't need to create anything elaborate. It can be a
PDF of one of your company's presentations from their
website or it can be a Word Doc or PDF that you have
created yourself.

Or email them a Power Point. If you can find one with a
narration to go along with it then this is ideal.

I have done presentations like this up to 12,000 miles
away and it's a very effective technique. It takes just as
long as a one-on-one in person but there's no driving and
if they don't answer their phone you just carry on with
your other tasks.

The idea here is that it doesn't have to be slick. You
just need a visual aid to get the idea across. If you're
sincere and the person is interested then it will be a
positive experience.

You can also send them to a live call presentation or
webcast, but I find it's difficult to get people to
actually show up for these-like hotel meetings--people
don't really want to be locked in to this.

Of course the ones who do attend the live presentations,
either online or in meetings are much better prospects, but
I have had a devil of a time getting them to show up.

Of course a nice professional audio-video presentation on
a site with an autoresponder is the ideal efficient
situation, but until you have that in place you have to be
creative and make do with whatever you can patch together.

If you want to stay in the game long term you'll want to
be making some sideline money early on to fund your
marketing programs.

If you have your own list you'll be able to show your
prospects how to do this and if you write your own manual
you'll be able to offer it for sale to your list and create
your own stream of income to fund your marketing.

Secrets of MLM Online Success-Do you need a Squeeze Page to Recruit Online?

2007-07-18T14:26:00.000-07:00

If you want to use your online prospecting campaigns to
build an MLM organization either in your City or State
(which you can do with "City Targeted" Pay-per-Click) or
even World Wide you are going to need a list to email.

There are two schools of thought here:

1.You send your prospects directly to your company's
website (or one created by yourself or your upline) where
they can immediately view your marketing material.
Hopefully this website has an autoresponder so the visitors
can be added to your list.

2.You build your own Squeeze Page and allow your visitors
to opt-in to your list from there. Then you expose them to
messages encouraging them to visit your presentation site.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these
options.

In "Option 1" your prospects get to immediately review
your marketing material and make a decision…so you get
recruits faster…maybe?

Your company or upline then forwards them a series of
follow up emails…usually 10 to 16.

There are 2 problems I find with this approach:

The first is that your company's or you upline's email
follow-up series are too generic and too focused on
attempting to "convince" your prospects that they should
join.

This becomes very annoying after a very short while and
you lose prospects who after all were interested enough to
review the offer.

The second problem I have found with this approach is that
your prospects are not "double opt-in" to your list and so
could get you or your company's email shut down for CanSpam
infringements. These infringements can carry very hefty
fines as well. You don't really want to go there.

When you take say 1000 prospects from the list you have
generated this way you now need to find an email provider
who is willing to allow you to work with a single opt-in
list. A challenge but it can be done.

As well as your MLM efforts you'll need a Funded Proposal.

Secrets Of MLM Online Success-A unique way to get Prospects to a Business Presentation

2007-07-18T14:19:00.000-07:00

Here's the scenario we covered in our earlier article:

Your MLM company is planning a big seminar or marketing
plan presentation in your area and you've chosen to run a
Pay-per-Click campaign to generate some prospects to invite.

You're definitely going to need a "Squeeze Page" to make
this work but we'll get into that later. If you click on my
link at the bottom of this page I'll send you some free
software to build a Squeeze Page.

What's the best way to go about this?

To make your campaign cost effective you'll want to be
very specific in your ad about the fact that this is a
seminar. You don't want tire kickers. You want people who
like to go to free seminars.

You'll want to give yourself lots of lead time too if this
is your first campaign in this area. If it's for a
marketing plan presentation you may want to wait to see
what sort of traffic you can get and how long it takes to
show up, before booking the hotel room for your meeting.
This is a trial and error process until you find the
formula that works for you.

Your ad might say something like this:

Life Changing Seminar
Will be Held In "Your-City"-Free
The Secrets of Financial Freedom
http://www."your website goes here".com

You may hate this ad so write one of your own. Or use my
ad if you want. Chances are you'll be the only one in your
city doing this.

And make the ad non-specific. You don't have room in a PPC
ad to get into locations and topics etc.

Once you get this going to your liking you can use it
continuously, building a list of prospects in your area who
are interested in seminars.
You'll always have someone to invite!

As well as your MLM efforts you'll need a Funded Proposal.
If you want to stay in the game long term you'll want to be
making some sideline money early on to fund your marketing
programs.

Secrets of MLM Online Success--How does your Company's Compensation Plan Stack Up?

2007-07-17T12:06:00.000-07:00

In earlier articles we've been talking about the
attributes of the "Ideal MLM Company" for Online promotion
of your MLM business, in terms of the ease with which a
prospect can be recruited online with no personal
interaction with you or the company except via the website.

Now let's look at another factor that comes into play big
time. What are the chances of you making any money?

How does your company's Compensation Plan work? Does it
require you to sponsor wide or can you make money by just
going deep on two legs?

If it's not a binary plan or a maximum of 3 on the front
line you'll struggle with retention. The average associate
sponsors 2.7 people…this is the long term industry average.
Most of your business associates will be average people who
aren't totally fired up to pursue the business and hate
rejection (as every sane person should); but they love and
use the product and would like to make a bit of extra money.

If your comp plan requires them to go wide and sponsor a
lot of people on the front line to be profitable, they wont
be able to do it, they won't make any money and they will
just fall away…industry averages tell us this. The facts
simply are that 99% or more of the people you sponsor will
not themselves be sponsoring machines. It's the high energy
salesman types who love to sponsor wide-and they're few and
far between.

And not everyone is going to want to recruit online
either. In fact in my experience most people still prefer
what is called the warm market: carrying the message to
family, friends and people we meet.

So the simple truth is that the ideal MLM Company will
have a comp plan that calls for a maximum of 3 on the front
line; if you want retention.

A case in point is that the binary plan of one of the
major health and wellness companies is year after year
voted the best in the industry.

If your company does not have these characteristics and
you have been struggling for some time then perhaps it's
time for you to re-evaluate your situation?

But if your company has none of the characteristics I have
listed and you are still doing amazing things then
absolutely ignore everything I have said and get on with it.

If it ain't broke-don't fix it!

As well as your MLM efforts you'll need a Funded Proposal.
You'll want to be making some sideline money to fund your
marketing.

Secrets of MLM Online Success - How Does Your MLM Company Rate to Build Online?

2007-07-17T12:00:00.000-07:00

In an earlier article I laid out the characteristics of
the ideal MLM Company for online recruiting.

To recap in just a few words: For your MLM company to be
ideal for online recruitment it should offer the option for
visitors to enroll at the website without contacting you or
your company directly, for a cost under $50.

The closer your company comes to that, the more successful
you will be at online recruitment.

The more contacts you need to have with the prospect
before they sign up and the more expensive the entry fee
the less efficient is your process of recruitment in terms
of your time commitment.

Of course a higher entry level fee will attract associates
who can sustain a higher monthly maintenance fee and your
income can be achieved from a smaller downline.

Here we are just examining the efficiency of the actual
online recruitment process.

Here are some other areas to examine:

* Is your "company" reputable and highly regarded?

* Can prospects sign up as customers and buy products that
will be credited to you, from your pages on your company's
website, without talking with you?

* Is your product unique and highly regarded - do people
use it long term even if there's no compensation plan
involved.

* Does your product have longevity or is it a "flash in
the pan" wonder product with no real substance for the long
haul. In MLM you have to build for the long term.

As well as your MLM efforts you'll need a Funded Proposal.
You'll want to be making some sideline money to fund your
marketing.

Secrets of MLM Online Success--The Ideal MLM Company for Online Recruiting

2007-07-17T11:57:00.000-07:00

Not all MLM companies are created equal. Some are more
suited to online recruiting than others.

There are specific characteristics to look for when
choosing an MLM company to promote online or when deciding
to use the internet to generate leads for your existing MLM
opportunity.

First and foremost is this: are your prospects able to
enroll in your program without ever contacting you or
anyone at your MLM company.
This is the ideal situation because it is letting the
internet do 100% of the work for you while you focus on
your prospecting process.

The "Ideal Online MLM Company" will have the following in
place:

* A powerful sales page with opt-in form so that when your
prospects enter the site to explore the opportunity their
names have been added to your prospect list for follow-up.

* A low cost short term trial offer so they can "test
drive" the business before making a full commitment. This
should be less than $5 and for a period of no more than 3
weeks. We want this to be very affordable and to give them
sufficient time (but not too much) to evaluate the
opportunity before making a decision.

*It is way better to have a small cost associated with
the trial period because it is a filtering process.
Prospects who are willing to enter their credit card
information and pay a small fee have declared that their
level of interest is quite high.

* Powerful audio, video and print presentations to help
them assess whether your opportunity would be appropriate
for them.

" A series of follow-up emails in place to keep the
visitor interested.

* Notification to you immediately they enroll at your site
and again when they enter into the trial period, so you can
begin your own follow up by either email or phone or both
if you so choose.

* A sign up fee of $50 or less which covers the first
months maintenance fee and a maintenance fee of $50 or less
per month.

A second series of emails for the trial period that in
some way incorporates the fear of loss.

There is a company exposing me to this at the moment and
although I don't like their program I must admit it has a
very powerful psychological pull. I get a strong feeling
of: "I don't want to miss out".

I know it will take more associates on your team to
develop volume in a program with low monthly maintenance
requirements like this, but it lends itself much better to
online promotion.

As well as your MLM efforts you'll need a Funded Proposal.
You'll want to be making some sideline money to fund your
marketing.

7 Action Steps to Online Success-Session 1--Get a Website and turn 5 Articles into an eBook

2007-07-11T21:58:00.000-07:00

Generating success in an online business is not a matter
of luck, but there are some secrets that will get you
started.

Success in any venture is a matter of knowing exactly
"what" you want to do, "why" you want to do it and
having a "plan" to get there, doing activities you enjoy.

If you begin on a program that involves activities you
really detest and have little talent for and can't learn,
then you are not likely to cross the finish line.

I can't provide you with your "what" and your "why" so if
you don't have these sorted out it's time to get on with
brainstorming and come up with a niche market in an area
you can get passionate about.

Here's a plan of action that really works. Follow these
action steps and Online Success is assured:

1. You must have a website:

To get started building your list it only needs to be one
page, a squeeze page. You can easily add more pages as you
go and they can all be simple. You can find lots of easy to
use software to do this. You can use MS Frontpage if it
came with your MS Office package. You don't need to go to
the expense of buying Dreamweaver at this time but if
you're serious it is a good thing to have down the road.

2. Write 5 Articles and turn them into an eBook:

To attract visitors to opt-in to your list you need a free
gift to give away on your squeeze page. A "how-to" eBook
about your niche, that you write yourself, is the easiest
and cheapest way to do it.
And since article writing is a
great way to attract visitors to your site you can publish
these articles on the article directories to start off your
website promotion program.

7 Action Steps to Online Success--Session 2--Get an Autoresponder and write a 5 Email Series

2007-07-11T21:56:00.000-07:00

As I said before, success in any venture is a matter of
knowing exactly "what" you want to do, "why" you want to do
it and having a "plan" to get there, doing activities you
enjoy.

There's really no secret here…it's a logical progression
of Action steps.

We covered Action Steps 1 and 2 in a previous article
which you may want to read, but I'll recap them here
briefly.

1 You must have a website:
2. Write 5 Articles and turn them into an eBook:

So let's move on with the rest of the Action Steps.

3. You must have an Autoresponder:

Now you have your website up and running and you have your
URL you can go to the Autoresponder of your choice and
setup your account.

You need an Autoresponder to handle all of your list
building and email activities-you'll quickly be way too
busy to all of this manually. The Autoresponder will also
handle the task of directing your traffic to your download
page so your visitors can get your free eBook.

4. Write a series of five emails for your Autoresponder
list:

These first five emails are your very first meeting with
your new list members so remember "you only get one chance
to make a first impression"…so make sure it's a good one by
giving these five emails your very best shot.

For now a series of five emails will be sufficient. Send
one every day. Basically they should welcome your visitors,
thank them for joining your Newsletter list, send more
content and another free gift and finally make an offer of
an affiliate product if you don't yet have one of your own.
Remember…your list is the very life blood of your online
business.

If you don't have a list you have no business…and
if you don't keep it growing your business will die.

Lookout for Steps 5 thru 7.

7 Action Steps to Online Success-Session 3--Drive Traffic to your Website

2007-07-11T21:53:00.000-07:00

We covered Action Steps 1 thru 4 in previous articles
which you may want to read, but I'll recap them here again
briefly.

1. You must have a website:
2. Write 5 Articles and turn them into an eBook:
3. You must have an Autoresponder:
4. Write a series of five emails for your Autoresponder list.

So now let's move on with Action Step 5.

5.You need to get traffic to your website:

I'll spend a bit more time on this step because it's
critical to your online success.

Pretty simple concept: no traffic at the squeeze page then
no list. No list usually means no clients and no business.

You can drive traffic to your site in a number of ways but
the two most effective are Article Marketing and Pay-per-
Click.

Pay-per-click is a fast and easy way to get traffic, but
it can get very expensive very quickly. I've spent quite a
bit of money here and generated a lot of traffic…but it
wasn't qualified and I didn't recoup my investment.

I have found that if you're not willing or able to pay up
for key words that work (and these are the ones everyone
wants to be positioned on, so the competition is often
fierce) then you won't attract qualified, motivated traffic
unless you're a PPC guru and truly understand the
intricacies of optimizing your key words to work seamlessly
with your landing page and stuff like that. I don't know
enough about how that all works and I don't know anyone who
does that I can ask.

On the other hand article marketing is virtually free,
maybe $25 per month for your website and autoresponder
(which you would still need for PPC anyway), and it
generates highly qualified, motivated, targeted traffic.

The down side to article marketing is that it's quite a
lot of work and takes some time to get started, but once it
hits momentum it's amazing.

7 Action Steps to Online Success - Session 4 - Affiliate Products versus Your Own Products

2007-07-11T21:49:00.000-07:00

We covered Action Steps 1 thru 5 in previous articles
which you may want to read, but I'll recap them here again
briefly.

1. You must have a website.
2. Write 5 Articles and turn them into an eBook.
3. You must have an Autoresponder.
4. Write a series of five emails for your Autoresponder
list.
5. You need to get traffic to your website.

So now let's move on with Action Steps 6 and 7.

6. Find some affiliate products to market:

You'll want to look for affiliate products in the early
days to get you started if you don't have any products of
your own just yet.

There are basically two main product categories to
consider; digital products and physical products.
Be aware that "physical products" (books, cosmetics, motor
cycles etc) have a large manufacturing cost component in
their pricing, so your profit margins are likely to be
skinnier. If you work with digital products such as eBooks
or online services such as dating services you can find
affiliate commissions up to 75% or more. If this field is
attractive to you it can be very lucrative.

You can find products by going to Google and looking for
"affiliate products" or you can start with affiliate
networks like Commission Junction and Click Bank.

Affiliate networks act as brokers between sellers and
affiliate marketers like yourself. They're free to join and
offer a lot of choice. And best of all…you'll get paid when
you sell something.

7. Create your own products:

I'm assuming here that you will be working with digital
products rather than physical. If you're planning to
manufacture your own physical products then I really am not
qualified to help you here, other than this word of
caution, it's harder than you think.

But that's negative thinking and you will no doubt push
through to great success.

Books are the biggest sellers on the internet and people
are hungry for knowledge so a "how-to" eBook about your
niche market is your best bet. If you have say a
photography site then a book entitled "The 7 Biggest
Mistakes to Avoid when taking that Great Photograph" or
something similar could be very successful.

The really good news is that eBooks cost virtually nothing
to produce except your time and so command a 100% profit
margin.

The easiest way to get double duty out of your efforts is
to write a series of 10 or 20 articles on the topic and
combine them into your book. This way you're attracting
visitors and also creating a for-sale product at the same
time.

You now send another series of emails similar to the first
but this time instead of an affiliate product you offer
your own.

You will of course need to have a "shopping cart" on your
site to collect payment.

Critical Steps to Online Success--Step 3--You need a Product to sell

2007-07-10T13:12:00.000-07:00

Before you gear up for an online campaign to market
something on the web, it's a good idea to have a specific
product in mind.

There are many factors you will need to make decisions
about before you get started. First you will want to find a
supplier for your product or create a product of your own.
Then you will need to package it attractively, market it
effectively, attract potential customers to view and decide
to purchase your product, transact the sale online and
finally collect payment before you deliver it to your
customers.

To achieve this online you will need to have your own e-
commerce website with shopping cart capability so you can
complete your transactions on-line.

Here are some ideas to get you started!

If you are marketing a physical product then you will have
to source it, store it, package it and ship it--or arrange
for someone else to do that for you. And don't forget that
a lot of your transaction price goes toward the actual
manufacture, purchase and shipping of the product you wish
to sell.

The cost of supplying a physical product will cut quite
deeply into your profit margins. Let's say your list is
comfortable buying a $20 product from you. If you mark your
product up too high you become uncompetitive. For a
physical product your cost might be $12 (or 40%) say and
your profit is $8 per sale.

With a digital product your cost is usually very close to
zero so your profit on the transaction is $20 (or 100%)…you
make much more this way

If you have an extraordinarily unique physical product and
you know that you can sell it easily then that is the way
for you to go.

Otherwise I would suggest you either buy or create a
digital product. Digital products are usually easier to
work with, are low cost if you create them yourself and can
be delivered over the web. Digital products can be books,
courses, services (like a dating service) or "how-to"
websites, videos, audio recordings etc. that are delivered
in digital format over the web. They are also sold in the
form of CD's, DVD's etc and can be quite profitable in this
format but you have the issues around manufacture, storage
and delivery that we discussed earlier.

A "how-to" product such as a book or online learning
program would seem to have the best market these days for
someone starting out. You either write it yourself or find
free product on the net that has passed out of copyright.

People are hungry for knowledge and if they think you can
provide it for them they will buy your product.

You can remove a lot of the hassle of shipping and
handling and payment by getting involved with a popular
product as an affiliate marketer. This is probably the
easiest way to get your feet wet. It's low cost and most of
the promo work has already been done. I've covered this
quite extensively in a couple of earlier articles…you can
find them if you just google Jim Keayes Affiliate Products.
You might find something there that will be useful.

For now can start by visiting the web sites for Commission
Junction (CJ) and Clickbank, joining their sites (it's
free) and browsing the merchant offerings.

Critical Steps to Online Success--How to get Maximum Response from your List

2007-07-10T13:06:00.000-07:00

If you are focused and consistent with your article
writing you will quite quickly (within a couple of months)
start getting a lot of visitors to your site who accept
your free offer and are added to your list.

It starts painfully slowly but then the momentum just
builds and a great stream of new leads floods in every day.

When they opt-in and accept your free gift your
autoresponder will begin to send them the timed series of
emails you wrote a while back so you would be ready for
this.

You started by writing 5 emails but now you need to expand
that to 20. Pretty much just 4 cycles of the first 5 emails.

You remember what they were?

1. Welcome to my Newsletter
2. Here's some content
3. Here's another free gift
4. Here's some more content
5. Here's an eBook you can purchase

Send emails to your list on a regular basis and continue
to offer affiliate products and products you have created
yourself…but don't overburden them with offers.

Give value via information and giveaways. A link to your
latest article can be a good giveaway.

You rise above the crowd if you continue to contribute
valuable teaching content in your Newsletter. Most
marketers only write when they want to sell you something.

And don't forget to keep on writing those articles.

As you write your articles…especially if you create a
series of articles to deal with a specific topic…you can
combine them into an eBook which you can offer for sale.

You see the beauty of the system?

The articles become the eBooks; you post your articles on
your Blog; you turn your teaching emails into articles; you
turn your articles into emails.

You write the content once but you get to use it over and
over again.

Critical Steps to Online Success - The Secret Magic of Article Writing to Grow your List.

2007-07-04T21:02:00.000-07:00

You must Write and Publish Every Day…there…I've said it!
Publish or perish…that's the motto in academia and it's
the same with article marketing.

If you're not pushing out articles every day then you lose
momentum and your list will stop growing. The search
engines favor sites with a continual flow of fresh content
and readers are always looking for fresh material,
particularly if they have found your articles and come to
rely on your input-so don't let them down or they'll
gravitate to someone else.

Later on when the money starts to flow that won't be such
a damaging event because you'll be able to afford to pay
for advertising to plug the gap. But in the early days of
your business your articles are your life blood…you must
keep them coming…one a day at the very least.

Why all this focus on article writing you might be asking
yourself?

Pretty simple…articles will always bring you the top
caliber prospects…just like yourself. The people who read
your articles are searching for a solution to growing their
online business faster and stronger. They type a search
phrase into a search engine and bingo, here they are,
reading your article.

How could the whole process of co-operation work any
better than that.

The reader has a need and you have the information they
are seeking. It's quite possible that with your mentoring
their businesses could take off. That's a pretty nice
feeling isn't it?

I love writing articles because I've got all of this
accumulated information inside that's been bursting to come
out for years. I drive my friends and family nuts because
I'm always boring them stupid with all this stuff I want to
tell them.

I can't help it…I love learning new stuff. My greatest
wish is that you find it of value and it moves your
business forward too.
