Welcome Fellow Network Marketers,

I will now ask you to check out my biggest blog devoted to online business.

It has been a long time in coming.  The Washington Post supports traffic moving to this blog because it is downright truthful about what is required to build your business online.

If you head over to:

http://bb-home-based-business.blogspot.com/


I have added Internet marketing courses...5 FREE LESSONS..., my FREE report is being rewritten so I will include updates back here, once that is fully in place.

I have added a Level 1, CERTIFICATION COURSE IN ENTREPRENEURIAL BUSINESS.

Please check out those posts.  They are adjuncts to this blog which has received well over 500 responses, but that blog has had well over 10,000 on-lookers and is growing rapidly.

On that blog, I show you how to create your own "donation" buttons..., and pay buttons.

In the coming days and weeks ahead, I show you how to set up your own merchant account using paid means.  I also show you DIRECT RESPONSE marketing which is a "heads up" for generating not only your own lead list, but a list ONLY YOU OWN/MARKET TO/AND EMAIL DIRECTLY.

It is all legitimate marketing.  The finest businesses use these methods.

Not sure about what I'm telling you.

Okay.

Here is a highly profitable campaign offered with Justin Hayward's full awareness:

http://moodiescruise.com/

It will unfold in March 2013.

Their accompanying website that supplements any/all business unfolding under the Moody Blues is:

http://moodybluestoday.com/


Put your credit cards on ice.  If you are a long-standing distributor or pay more than $100 a month in distributor products most likely filling up your garage faster than you can digest them, then it is time you took an honest but alternative (REAL) look at what the top 1% distributors are doing (and will NEVER teach, or SHOW). 

If you could see what these people are doing from the privacy of their homes, it would blow your mind.

So head on over to my home-based business blog.  See the FREE CONFERENCE LINES that you can use now.  Reference the network marketing watchdog directory I have set up there, and get in on top online marketing know-how!  I have powerfully free courses set up already so that you can get yourself going online for practically less than that cup of coffee network marketing companies promised you long ago but did not deliver.   P.S.  You do NOT have to buy their phony websites that will only do one thing -- build their lists using your warm market....NOT YOURS.  Sorry.  It is a governing reality.  They make great products but teach 1950's marketing.

Toasting Your Success, Absolutely,

Should I Move My Specialized Business Online?

Welcome Fellow Online Entrepreneurs,

This blog is in progress so the content you read here will be ground breaking.

I am preparing information for my whitepaper so please stay tuned.  It is not yet available for you to join my newsletter.  For now, let's just get you what you need.

In the coming months, I will be posting powerful super, super content designed to help you move your business successfully (and safely) online.  Any content I post and will post has been and is being tested inside of a private website related intimately to Internet marketing.  That's what you'll begin to see on this blog.

It doesn't really matter what you're moving (MLM or otherwise), all you have to do is master the core basics!

For now...,  read...digest...and know that you can go online as long as you advertise your name (or an alias pen name you prefer).  You CANNOT mention any MLM product names.  You DO NOT want to advertise someone else's name.  It does nothing for your business.
As I later direct you to my newsletter, I will be sharing valuable marketing tips, tricks and continous Google updates so please stay tuned!  That brings us to the main blog post.

Should I Move My Business Online?

You may have come across some of my other blogger business blogs.  They are in the process of being tested to bring you what you most desire.

However, this blog will concentrate on the highest powered marketing. 

NOTE:  Please do not think that because you have been through several MLM's that you know what's required to make a solid go of it online.  The best success stories are those who keep an open mind.

Here's what the big dogs know... whether they are in MLM or just building their businesses online:

1)  They DO NOT teach what they know.

It's an unfortunate law of the jungle and I'm not saying it's right or it's wrong.  It's just business.

2)  They Are NOT counting on you to seek proven, alternative information.

Well...the deal has been and continues to be that MLM's don't allow permission for many MLM'ers to go online..., or in the very least ...if they do..., it's going to be on their specified terms.  Call this controversial.  Call it "corporate compliance".  It is what it is.

BUT...,

Don't worry.  You are in solid company.  If you weren't, you wouldn't be seeing millions of daily searches appearing at Google.   There are hundreds of thousands already coming online, and those of us who know what's involved cannot serve the full need.  We are still training others to do just that. 

NOTE:  If you want to be someone who mentors others, it is NOT an unrealistic outcome.

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU DECIDE TO DO!  NO ONE CAN STAND IN YOUR WAY!

3)  Here's another bottom line -- businesses not (yet) working online event within the next 10 years will be missing out on major traffic (inquiries).

4)  New Economy thinking challenges people working along old Industrial Mindset lines to rethink antiquated ways of doing business.  That means that they're pulling in the power of the Internet if they very open.  Those who are not...aren't.  I will leave it up to you to translate that outcome for yourself.

You will be asked to use your mind and your own power.  You CANNOT and SHOULD NOT rely on anyone else to put the oars in the business waters.  The force must come from you and move through you.  But...you can do it!  If I can do it, you certainly can too.

5)  Many small business owners are asking..."How do I move online"?

6)  If you're marketing an MLM, you are in solid company.  If you are not moving an MLM product, can you still move your specialized business online?

The word in any online marketing is a resounding YES.

7)  Can I do it wisely...without going broke?

YES

8)  Do I need my own website?

In many of my other blogs, you later do...but not when you're first starting out.

9)  Do I need my own blog?

YES

Blogger.com will get you started, but keep in mind that when you're moving into sensitive content (people pay you money to get), you will want to put that content onto your own self-hosted blog like WordPress.  I will be offering ways to do this in future posts.

For now...just play with content using your free Google blogger account, but also be aware that you must not include tons of online links (MLM or affiliate linkes) inside of your blogger content.  The driving force when you first come online is to publish valuable content people will need and want to read about.  That content should only fit into whatever it is you'll be moving.

10)  Do I have to optimize my content to be found online at Google?

Optimization means finding words people enter into a Google search so that your content/blog will appear.

When you're first starting out, you do NOT need to worry about optimizing your content.  The main thing is to get content published under only your name. Then...any content you write can be edited at a later date.  The biggest goal is to get some substance written on your blog so that you can build a following. 

You will need to be very persistent at first.  It takes time before people begin to find you.  Don't let that get in your way.

Any business worth building takes time, repeat effort, and persistence.

10)  When you start blogging, you will be able to build a network of content online.  This doesn't have to cost you anything but some research, time, and writing effort.

11)  Can Internet marketing build my MLM business online?

YES

Please note:  do not be in a hurry to meet this kind of goal.  Old school marketing (offline) has you rushing about to "just building your downline". 

Until you have core marketing skills in place online, you will not be fully equipped to handle many inquiries leading to business success.  That's just how it is online...mainly required by Google to get the job done well (and for the long run).

12)  Are others doing this too?

YES

In major, major numbers.

13)  The top MLM dogs know that the cat is out of the bag.

They have attempted to "keep things quiet"...but times have been changing.

14)  What you SHOULD NOT DO IS THIS:

* Market your MLM all over your blog
* Focus only on offering quality content others can use today
* 100,000 merchants were shut down by Google because they advertise "get rich quick".
* You want to build a business that lasts...so the only best way to do that is to take your time..., learn what's required..., and get the job done.
* You will need to learn powerful recruiting -- closing deals. I will offer more along these lines in this blog...so please stay tuned!  My whitepaper will cover the basic essentials involved.

Stopping here to let you digest what's written.

Remember..., anything worth having is worth working well for.  It won't happen overnight...but it will happen as long as you are completely dedicated to your own success.

Again...stay tuned for more help.  I have spent countless hours paving the online way for you!

2011...Moving Towards Mastery..., More About the Shift

Welcome Fellow Home-Based Business Owners!

I'd like to start this post off by saying, "Thank You Matt"!  He's a wonderful, talented, fellow marketing buddy.  In an earlier post on my home-based business blog for active network marketers, I talk about what the current shift means to new business owners online.  It is a geopolitical, economic, and personal awareness shift we are experiencing.  And..., it's going to get a lot rougher as the old vanguard beats its chest. 

Next, I'm going to describe a little bit more about what has been happening on the gameboard (personal life and in business).  What I have to say is meant to empower YOU...the individual..., the one who represents the backbone of our American and global economy.  Without YOU, the bankers..., insurance companies, and even our governments wouldn't be where they are today.  I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing.  I'll leave it up to you to decide.

BUT...,

At the personal level, we've had 1 who's stayed fairly silent and somewhat oppressed.  The other -- manipulative and just outright outrageous about their entitlements.  This old quo is being challenged.

In business, it's sort of the same thing.  We've had a vanguard manipulate and control economies for as long as humans have been able to do this.  We've had a silent majority watch the silliness of specific groups (you name 'em)...cause I'll just keep it neutral.  I'm interested in offering solutions to common business woes online..., in an active awareness to increase support and individual awareness  --  without stirring up trouble. 

We don't need more trouble as a nation.  We do need more collaboration..., self-help, and increased productivity.  That much is true.

By talking a bit more about what's happening further in business realms, you will be surprised to learn that many people are now coming online for their own business futures.

They're clammoring in our direction in vast numbers.  I cite the Internet marketing university where I teach.  Many quit too soon.  If they go to other Internet pro's, those pro's are seeing the same thing -- big fallout.  I'm not saying it has to be that way for you!

In business, you have to be very dedicated to whatever it is you're promoting.

But..., the ones who have long represent the old status quo have been using all means available at their disposal to maintain control... ---  to no avail.  They're even yelling.  They used under-handed means to control gentle people.  Is it an outside force creating an effect on them?  Who knows?  I think it's greed...and it's a belief in having access to everything even though other people go without.

I am not here to offer alarmist news.  I am sharing updates as it ties into our living during 2011 and 2012.

You can step aside from much of what will feel conflicted.  You can anchor yourself in productivity and learning.  You can implement your new business quietly and safely.  You don't have to become a part of the sea of endless, restless churning some others are now experiencing (at their own hand).


2012

This is NOT Armageddon, although some feel it deep down inside of themselves.  There is a time fast approaching.  Call it another Renaissance we've long awaited.  It is a time of great empowerment for the individual.  I'll spell the proof out plainly, without referencing religion or even politics (my two least favorite subjects) because what you will witness in these coming two years might give you more power than you're prepared to handle.



I will tell you that I teach others Internet marketing.  It's an ongoing discovery for many of us.  No one has the market cornered on everything..., BUT..., because the Internet is constantly changing, it's putting enough pressure on companies to consider what individuals are now doing.  They are taking charge of their own futures.

In some cases, they are even refusing to build corporate databases (the list)..., in favor of building their own lists!  What does that mean to you as a new online entrepreneur.  Well..., it means individuals can no longer stay quiet about what they really know.  I call this "sharing a deeper truth".  It's as if economics have pushed many of us to now use our voices out loud...just to tell it like it is -- without distortions, rumors, misrepresentations, or even manipulation.

TO MAKE IT ONLINE, YOU MUST BE YOUR OWN POWER

Do you know how powerful this information is?  If not, I will clue you in.  There are very inexpensive tools and techniques you can use in business to put yourself out into cyberspace, without spending $25/month!

There is a tool that allows you to communicate with a LOT of people all at once.  I've talked about it before.  New business owners online are using this tool to do just that.  And.., they are using free publishing to advertise their businesses.

NEVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND...

...have individuals had this kind of power!  The publishing houses are toppling.  Yes -- they controlled content to boost sales.  That's not a crime, but it has not worked in their favor.  Some of us just call this "mainstream publishing".  It is what it is...and some of that content was just plain distorted...and even inaccurate.

However..., the fall of big publishing brings this factor into a newer reality.

WHEN YOU ARE ONLINE, YOU ARE YOUR OWN POWER

I don't have the market cornered on these insights so what I am saying here is meant only to confirm what individuals have been feeling.  They are making rapid leaps forward in their awareness.  The fog is clearing. They are now seeing what has long been kept quiet.  They are asking a lot of questions.  They are breaking barriers that persisted in business.  Now they want real solid answers for themselves.

They're certainly tired of being paid a low to poor wage.  They're tired of watching CEO's float away on their golden barges.

These questions are putting new force into play.  The old vanguard is struggling.  You could say that we are approaching a time of great enlightenment..., where the old ways of holding back information fold.  Ask yourself -- what happens when people start to openly share information?  Sure..., it's paid content....  You don't get the best stuff for free.  Powerhouses who ran old establishments no longer carry the weight they once did.  That has upset old quos.

Now the "quiet masters who have been in careful study all their lives are now emerging". They have been through the school of continously hard knocks.  They are interested in real self-improvement and doing what's right for most people involved.  They are standing tall.  They are sharing insights the masses didn't see before. 

These people are shedding light on dark spaces where old information once hid.  And.., they're doing it for the benefit of all concerned.

This means that new business owners have the full, outright ability to publish the content old publishing houses could not print (for whatever reason).  It means, you now have the power to get your own blogger account...at no charge to you...so you can test your content ahead-of-time.  That's a way of putting content out there (in general terms) long before you get your own extensive website developed.

Whether your website is personal or business, new words are being shared in the hopes of making this world a better place.  You could say that old forces are losing their grip on humanity. 

We're tired of war.

We're tired of arguments.

We're tired of cheap information leading us no-where.

We're just tired of some stirring up the pot just because they feel they can.

If you are remotely religious or spiritual (it doesn't matter), the individual can now hop online...join in a few forums...and have their say.

They can make a go of it...separately from what companies have long had most of us do (carry out their beckoned call...for crazy billionaire reasons).

Does that mean that corporations are struggling for new talent?  I don't know.  I'll again...leave it up to you to decide.  But..., what it does mean is that the most motivated individuals will self-educate themselves, team up with willing others who support their say online.  That's going to impact the way many companies have been functioning.  This is true if we apply the adage that many American companies worked the MLM model..., or in the very least, they kept their most sensitive content very quiet.

Worse still -- they had NO intention of paying out.

They created some odd rules.

When motivated others hit the cieling in their performance, these companies altered their payout plans!

Many of the network marketers I meet and train eventually give up your MLM firms.  They're finding alternatives that work..., and they're doing it quietly.

If your outsourcing bites you in the backside -- OH WELL.  It is what it is and there is no blame....save for the fact that you created a reality bringing very unforeseen (and unhappy) results.


So the future trend in business online is now growing more and more during each passing year. 

We have 7 Billion living on the Earth now.  I doubt there's a shortage of business.  If you have any confidence as an individual power, I am willing to bet every cloud in the sky that you can make it. 

You'll have to be persistent..., but you can do it.., and if you have to work some crummy job (for a crummy boss)...for some length of time to get the smallest cash flow needed for your own personal business investment, then do whatever it takes to make your dream come true!


This is the time for the individual.  Whether you're a man or woman who's been going it alone.., duking life out alone, and staying very quiet....the time is NOW to state your highest truth.  You can do it at home.  You can do it at work.  You can do it in your new business.  Whatever channel you choose to "let the air out", be my guest.

Chances are...someone will be listening somewhere.

In the times to come, many of us will be sitting in no-man's land. That's only because the old ways don't work, but it's also because the new ways have yet to take hold.  Call it pre-seeding our world for better days ahead.

If you feel that you are struggling, it's very possible that you are in good company.

For those of you who have long awaited this time to make your own lives happen,  hang in there.  Keep your work going strong.  Believe in yourself, and you will create the reality you've always wanted.

* Eat well...drink plenty of clear water...


* And focus on one moment-at-a-time

Success Is A Choice

Success Is A Choice

Welcome Fellow Business Owners and Marketers! 

May this day find you well.  It's 3:34 am, Saturday morning... and it's time to write this post. I am sharing something today that I just published inside of an Internet marketing university designed to grow powerful people.

I'm going to cover a few things that may set your feet on fire for good reasons related to "you need to read this content".  It's time for another black belt workout, master style.  In my university tutorials, I spread uplifting help. Sometimes, we have black belt workouts designed to build a strong mindset needed to create online success.

This week, a brief and yet another event arose.  It does not bear repeating...really. The essence of what I will say has more to do with you making up your mind to accomplish something you hugely desire, mainly because it's connected to your true wealth.

You are very powerful...and for reasons individuals never can directly see, you may not realize this ultimate truth.  You are here on this Earth for a very good reason. What are you going to do with your time?

Wealth Is Mindset

If you  compare 2 people -- the first one who is very successful in ways they determine themselves...and the second who is not, there are major differences in the ways these people think, act, and persist.

The Successful One

• This person is successful in every sense of the word.
• Remove their wealth and they get back up again.
  
• Many hit brick walls all the time but they don't advertise it.
• They are working long after others have quit because they know that their success is NEVER in question. 
• It does not matter if they've worked for 20 years and their business gets hit by a tornado. Whether they're brick-and-mortar (physical) or virtual (online), it doesn't matter.
• They get back up again, time after time.
• They're masters at dusting off their boots.
• They never accept excuses about "Why something doesn't work".
• They're always looking for solutions and reasons to move forward.
• They stop blaming others but must be very honest about themselves -- done so they will move forward.
  

The One Who Gives Up (At The Drop Of A Hat)

I will apologize in advance if I step on any toes. That is not my intention. You need to read this post for 1 major reason only. Don't quit. Establish your resolve and do it.


If you quit and it doesn't matter who you learn your Internet marketing and business from, you will only disappoint yourself.  I've even had a personal coach quit!  There is it.  He blames everyone but himself and he's one of the best mentors around, but at some point in his life he chose to believe in negative programming. Successful people will tell you that you can't let the opinions of others get in the way.


What I share here and now say is said with respect and even love.  Successful ones are always pulling for you.  We feel sad when you get involved in blame games because that carries no real weight in what you'd like to do but don't.

* At the end of your life, you will have experiences to examine -- good and not so hot.

*  In a world of blame, blame isn't even real.  It's just another test of fear, challenging your soul to achieve and claim its true self.

* Remove all of the reasons why you should or should not do something and what you'll get is YOURSELF...standing in a room alone with decisions to make or not.

* Blame others for whatever reason your brain will suggest.

The mind is a good thing but it gets in the way (because ego will try to rule you), and successful people put their minds at ease.  They have developed this habit in order to survive and continue their successful existence. I'll cite Donald Trump. While he's a persistent one -- he's still standing. That person has declared bankruptcy how many times? He's still standing long after others have quit. While I'm not a #1 fan of Trump, I will admit -- he has major gumption.


* Successful people put major time and energy into supporting others...and many of those people quit. Ever think about that reality? Yeah - there are times where we feel...why try?  You'll quit?  And we do not let that thinking rule the scene. We cannot because you are worth so much!

* Some are meant to forge the tip of the arrow.  They are here to show you a better way.  What will you learn?

* Internet marketing or anything else you could excel at requires that you put your time in. It's not about paying your dues. It's about being determined to master your life. 1% of the entire sum on the planet get here!  Is it that hard?  NO.  It takes major energy to sit still when you should be moving forward. Take your actions today...now...and see what happens.  It will be special if you stay focused on your goals and targets. You cannot miss your mark.


* Every time you hit a wall, it's there.  Successful people say to themselves.., OK.., it's here.  I'll work through it... and very soon it will be a blip in the sidewalk .  Those who make excuses call it a mountain every time...and the ones who are working (while keeping their heads down with effort) are paving the way for you! They invest everything they have -- time, energy, $$, resources, people, know-how...even set backs they could call failure, and still some of you toss that gift away as if it were an old shoe. People who focus on "what they didn't do" might instead try focusing on "what they did do".  This will shift thought away from undesired results and move it in directions of what can change and improve.

* Business owners have to be tough because they invest their souls into whatever it is they choose to do and create.  Pay is important but it's not all there is.  We are givers...sometimes at the expense of ourselves.  It's not a us VS. you thing.  It never was. Our lesson is to learn how to give and receive in good balance.

* Those who give up are still doing it, no matter what they're facing.  So if you're one of those people, NOW you have a choice.  It is a tough choice because when you are intending to be successful and perhaps you have not yet hit your stride, you have to face yourself by asking, "I've quit this other endeavor because I really did not follow through".  Ask yourself why?  Life is here for you to teach you what you can absolutely master.  Business does the same thing.  It grows you in ways you would not expect.

BE STRONG OR NOT

Be abundant or not.  There is no judgment.  It is only a state of being...but try living without money and success.  Then you have no options and the only role you can now play is, "I'm too spiritual to even be abundant so now I'll reject everyone who hit their mark".  What kind of reasoning is that? 


Be successful and the world opens itself to you.

Let poverty and past "circumstances" (successful people call excuses) rule you.


Sensible people who are very successful say "no".  We view you as being successful but you don't yet see ...because you are an individual who is IN PROCESS...just like us.  I say this with care.

Successful people are no different than you are.  They're just long standing students who never quit. They are self-directed. They work like dogs. They know they are powerful but they may not state it.


So I'll end this post with these thoughts designed to either do 1 of 2 things:

1) Inspire you so that you will not quit and you'll remember what I've shared here and now...,

2) Get mad for other reasons because you missed something I intended to share...knowing that you are someone who is in process (and there really is no judgment).

If you're thinking that "perhaps the right person will come along and deliver the gold".  Successful people know this last reality won't hinge on any one person. They create their success because they persist and believe in themselves unconditionally.

Negative People Spread Their Misery...Because Misery Is Their Only Respite

Positive People Stop Themselves At Times Where They'd Like To Let Their Brains Rule The Show 

Incorporate your heart in what you do.  Do it with a zest but also remember that you have choices.
How will you spend your time while you are alive?  Will you inspire others (including yourself)?  Will you let every little or major thing get you down?  Even successful people need these periodic reminders.

We are here to create and share in unison.  My heart consistently tells me that we are all meant to be abundant in ways we deem most fit.  We are meant to be loved, love, and be healthy, wealthy and wise.
This is the world at its best.

Be the master you already are.  Let nothing stand in your way.

Welcome Fellow Network Marketing Associates!

It's been sometime since I've posted an update on any of my external blogs ...meaning I have internal blogs dedicated to Internet marketing university students who are working in directions of superaffiliate marketing.  I'd like to do the same for you...but let me tell you..., I HAVE BEEN HARD AT WORK FOR YOU!

Let's get into why you're here.  You're probably struggling in your network marketing business, you've exhausted your options, you've tried everything they told you to use (3-way calls for uplines who naturally can not be there), working your warm market by chasing Aunt Annie, pulling in those expensive corporate DVD's, and more.  I'm here to tell you that things are just not working the way they once did.  


Fast Forward, Internet

OK.  Now let's talk a little bit about Facebook.  Even that is changing!  A majority of people don't know how it was designed to work.  If some pay for ads, they botched the job.  I cite Jonathan Budd (even though I love some of his stuff).  Their paid ads do not work the way you think they would...if you apply traditional marketing.

Google pushed a ton of merchants offline because they seemingly hit people too hard with their biz opps. Many did. Some didn't.  But even if you've been over at Facebook adding hundreds to your contact list (for what now)???? I will tell you that there's a better way to proceed.  

If you have done everything else they asked you to do and you just cannot get to that list of qualified (let alone interested) people...


There are credible ways and it is not a fast path.  In fact, it requires a lot of work to enrich others before they'll trust you.  There's also learning involved, but it works!  Case in point.  You're here.  I'm on the other side of this screen smiling at you.  Wanna know how to do it?  I'm teaching people already so you might as well find out more.
  
Word To The Wise --

You must stop leading with your business opportunity.  it's killing your business. 


Don't spend 15 years studying a comp plan when all you have to know in one small table what commissioned payouts will be over X number of weeks for every group of people you move into your products.  MLM's change their plans all the time.  Keep your math simple and straight shootin'! 

There Are Hundreds of Thousands of MLM's!

If every MLM works the same way..and there's only 1 out there that doesn't (that I personally know of), all of the other 99,999 teach warm market, selling those DVD's to their active distributors (it works for the company), and give you advice to share your list with these MLM's...

Everyone else out there is doing the same thing!  Why should it be different for you?

Forget letting someone else work the business for you so you can just sit on the beach and sip your tea.  Truth is -- you can still do this but you're going to be in for a big surprize.  To be independent (in every sense), you have to be responsible towards yourself and others in ways that are far more proactive....meaning, you will not wait on others to get the work done.


Stop the old stuff.

You opted into business ownership so now you have to get your head out of those old clouds. Admit it to yourself so you can once and for all move forward -- it is not working.  It is not.  Dress up the pig, add that pink lipstick, even put a pink skirt on her because it's still the same smelly, ugly pig.


Make A Radically New Choice


Here's where things get fun.  I'm not here to promote 1 thing.  In fact, I represent hundreds of companies out there..., but if you're going to move forward, you have to hit a point where you recognize that what you did was what you did.


You did not fail.

Now...Let's Look At Alternatives

They're out there...and please don't try to tell me they are not because that is simply not true.  


There are new schools emerging...and these are not the same Old School VS. New School Wars.


These schools are New Economy, 21st Century Marketing Schools.  What they are challenging are the 20th Century Marketing Standards everyone accepted and used.  As a business owner, you do NOT have to throw a lot of $$ at advertising when you can't even build your list. That's what happening out there.e


Now that's even changing.


Guess what?  

You can be your own builder and list owner!  You can.


No matter who you are -- doctor, lawyer, CPA, MLM'er, affiliate gone newbie online..., mom at home, dad stressed out (noteably so) because his unemployment was luckily extended for another 6 months..., senior military officers being let go, MBA's unemployed, it doesn't matter.  A lot of us are sitting in the same boat.  Wouldn't it stand to reason that if the U.S. doesn't bring back outsourced jobs (and this could very well happen), we're going to have to pull together, think differently, and make different choices.


Solution #1 --  Consider Yet Again Some New Retraining


I know.  I relate to this situation cause I've been there more than I'd care to admit.  There has been and was nothing but disheartening than finishing grad school (with a big loan) only to find out that companies weren't hiring several years later.  I know of attorneys (for the first time) who are being let go!  Doctors are struggling because they are being hit hard by retail medicine and changing gov't policies on New Health Care.  Dentists are experiencing lags in business but they're not even sure why.  HINT:  The people are looking online because it's fast.  These pros don't know much about setting up a viable web presence.  The ones who are and have are moving forward.  The ones who haven't are not.  They're stuck. Consider...


Something Has To Change


We could get lost in ailments of our economy, but we need to look to home first.  No one is going to do it for us so we might as well grab hands and turn on the light switch in unison.

It starts with learning how to pay ourselves without relying on any corporation to do it for us -- as nice as this would be.



I am here to report..., the masses are hopping online looking for viable alternatives for reasons related to:

1)  Companies sitting on massive profits...billions made these past 2 years..., pretty much since the 2008 meltdown;


They tell us it's the gov't that's holding them up with new hires.  No..., it's not.  They have learned to operate with a skeleton crew or take their work far beyond India.  They're afraid of losing themselves...rightfully so...and they WILL take their billions to invest it elsewhere  The gov't is not to blame as much as we'd like to think so...even if they have buffered big business at public expense.  But I'll apologize in advance if I'm stepping on any toes.  I'm not trying to do that.  I'm just saying we have to rethink the way we live and work now.

2)  Folks are panicked (and it need not be that way)...,


3)  There is a solution and it is online...as much as the offliners say, "it's not all there is".  OK...give us other ideas.  Real estate is not on a quick rebound.  Investments have tanked.  Financial firms are struggling (or if they aren't...they're still skimming).  Banks are now seeing the lowest savings ever.  People are paying off their debts and they're pretty giddy about reinvesting in U.S. markets.

Global markets are expanding.  We live in a world economy now.  The best way to offset our financial risks would be to look at the world as it is now.

We can't bankroll all of our savings into "newly -emerging markets", although it might "look" like a golden strategy.  We've got to do something more.

If you will consider the Internet as a viable option, ask yourself how many billions of people live on the planet?  Those numbers are growing online. Consumers wants ease of purchase. Google is cleaning up their pond.  You can build a global business online but you can't even build a small list in your neighborhood.  Churches are tapped out by every MLM'er imagineable.

Movement Back Into Cottage Industries

When times get tough, people get creative.  That time is here.  Even companies are moving their employees back into the home environment...so why not work over your lunch hour to create something new?  You need 2 hours a day.  I'm sure you can find that time.

Spread your risk.  Diversify.  

Look further at the Internet as a viable opportunity because you won't lose out by looking at some facts.  In fact, I've seen people miss real opportunity because they automatically ruled out the obvious points like --

* Free Advertising
* Low Start Up
* Invest Sweat Equity
* Low Overhead
* Potential For High Profit
* Own Your Own Thing Outright
* Massive Room for Personal and Business Growth
* T. Harv Eker, Speed Wealth, "One of the best things you can do for your own wealth is to build and grow an online empire!  Get in before the door closes.  In another 10 years, it will be much tougher.  There's major room for more people TODAY!"


If you're saying, "I don't know anything about the online world and I have no technical skills so how do I qualify?"  I've talked about this in earlier posts until it's coming out my ears...

You ONLY need these things:


1)  Your own domain
2)  Long distance phone, unlimited $20 -- $40/month
3)  web hosting
4)  Internet Connection (preferrably high speed)
5)  $$ to keep your regular bills paid -- keep the other job going in the meantime...
6)  Fingers to do the typing
7)  Desire
8)  Willingness to learn and do.




You Do NOT Need These Things 

...Just Because Gurus Tell Newbies They Do


No one knows better than me.  After some major $$ spent here and there testing everything under the sun, I took the risk out of this deal for you.  It can't get any safer than this.  If you think so, then no one can help offline or online.
 
Here's what you want to look out for when coming online.  I'll mention the obvious points shortcut people market only fleece you out of the $$ you need for things like eating and sleeping in a warm place:


A) Forget filling out surveys for pay  - it's a major scam
B) Forget gurus who claim they can do it for you  - it's a major scam
C) Forget glitz and glammor without the sweat  - it's a major illusion (OK LIE)
D) Don't pay thousands for what you can get for an affordable sum...less than $1,000 a year -- another grey area for newbies and even seasoned people..,
E) Let the biz opp go -- the only ones who will do this take their own initiative...,
F) Lead with your products/services
G) Pull in what you know very well  (it could be some hobby, painting, music, collecting, a life experience that taught you a lot..., you name it)
H) The Nigerian Bank Scam -- it's some site suckers pay for...
H) Just be willing to learn and act.


You are not working another MLM online.  You are not working your warm market.  You are not giving your list away.  So if you're still here...


4) America is still the land of opportunity


The time has passed greatly to release your full independence on that paid job in favor of something you can truly enjoy doing and get paid well to do it.
If you have to work anything in the meantime, yes...keep it going.  Do what you think is best, but consider adding to that work effort something you can call your own.

If you will -- 

Work...and do

Connect..and care for others at REAL levels instead of taking shortcuts

Stop talking or making excuses about why you can't do something... or anything for that matter...

Quit distractions that get you no where...

Take the attitude that you are your own CEO of your business and you are responsible for all that happens inside of it...

That's it.

If you can do those few things, you will hit your mark. 

You can't miss!

Challenges With MLM Online Sites & Business

Welcome Top Guns!

Hi there guys and gals.

In my work, I teach Internet marketing online, and I work with 3 types of burgeoning marketers:

1) MLM'ers
2) Affiliate (Online Marketers)
3) A Blend of Both

What I'm about to share with you is NOT a poke or a steady stream of mean jabs.  I have some fabulous friends in network marketing and in affiliate marketing, but I have to tell you what's not working ...if at all.

It kills me to see so many good hearts taken in by the baloney they encounter online.  By saying this much, what I'm really saying is this much:

A)  Anytime you get involved in a network marketing company or an affiliate marketer only paying out 9% commissions to..., forget it.  There comes a time where you have to demand better pay...like 65% returns on your time...  (NOTE:  Look for Part B Further Down...it's the part where you have to get your presence online.)

AND... you have to showcase something special or unique about yourself.   That's what gets you noticed!

Why?

Think about a ton of websites online that look the same.  Network marketers come to me all the time and they ask, "So how do I form my own MLM?"  Then they show me this cruddy website connected to a major company.  Please hang on tight -- I'm about to give you a major market secret gurus do NOT share.

The challenge with a lot of people...MLM or affiliates or both... is this   -- they all have identical sites.  In the online world, you must have 2 things:

1) your own website where you control all of your content
2) your own products
3) ok -- and your own accompanying blog so you can attract people, sift and sort, and send the most serious ones to your website.

So affiliates say..."Well this is a good deal". It may be.  You just have to look at your marketing from a unique place.  There's only 1 of you out there.  Sure..., even if you change the name on a corporate site or you change the look of the site here and there..., what you will see from one site to another is "same ole'...same ole'".  That's watering down the work for everyone involved.

Shift Your Thinking

Now....go back to elementary school and high school.  I will let you in an another secret.  You know the people who graduate tops in their university programs?  Well -- those people are hired by companies...not by educational systems.  It is for this simple reason ...most universities are paid by companies to churn out employees.  Employees can become wealthy if they scrimp and save every penny they make during the course of a lifetime, but even then ...those days have changed.

So what you're after are ways to create the highest pay for real skills delivered, but I'm not talking about some of the Wall Street brokers who got major bonuses delivered for doing very little.  It happened.

What you were intially taught at school levels is now holding you back. That's because our systems are outdated and they're teaching content which applied to another time -- citing the Industrial Age -- where you picked 1 career and you worked that path until you died. 

A lot of high powered entrepreneurs are barely making their way into school systems...teaching what they know.  In a majority of cases, this is not the common case.  By and large, what you were initially taught early on was "tight-box thinking" so it's no wonder that you've hit big brick walls when you want to strike it out on your own.  In order to make a successful go of your business, you must challenge much of what you thought was true.


Online Realities Are Opposite

Now...here's the kicker.  It took me 3 years to reprogram much of what I ever learned...through college and even into business school beyond.  Online -- you have a very different reality.  There are some amazing people online, and they are working like dogs to educate others..., but... with that kind of help, there is the need to show others how to position themselves.  In successful business, once you're positioned as a true expert, you don' t have to fight for a close. You don't have to chase people either.  It's that way offline too.


If You're Purchasing Online

Now if you're scanning the net and you're interested in a purchase, you'd often look for a specific product or brand you know will perform.  It's the same way with someone you want to mentor you in your online business.  We have lot of people presenting identical websites, but that's really only doing one thing..., they're positioning the company or a very tight group of successful people.  Google dislikes these 2 things most!

• Identical sites taking up cyberspace
• A bunch of sites advertising the biz opp
• Lead with your product and it's benefits -- it's the only thing that pays.

Google's Viewpoint

Now...think about online commerce from Google's point of view.  Consumers want selection, variety and major value at a decent, negotiated price.  Google has lost advertisers galore, and they need to boost their numbers.  If they're going to meet needs on both sides of any business transaction, they have to toughen advertising messages with things people want most...at prices consumers can pay. If you master this formula, you have it made.  To do that, you must know what's involved online to do just that.



What Google Sees With Affiliates and MLM'ers ...


Is what I call an extended marketing plan...moving from offline business to the same old online message.  Both marketing channels have to change their messages to reflect changing consumer needs..., and they have to do it consistently as they place their ads online to attract the right consumers to their products.


Google sees --

• Identical offers
• MLM sites galore -- flashy cars..., big money images, happy faces, sandy beaches, "success for no work"..., someone holding his/her hands in the air while standing on the mountain, and that casual promise that "we'll give you the moon if you hand over your money to this company"...

A lot of people are going to be skeptical!  So it stands to reason that if you're someone coming online, you must be unique and you must present quality.

Your Solution?

Be the Top 1%.  Harness a proven blueprint where more of that systems graduates make it successfully online.  If only 1 out of 2,000 ever take action, that's going to guide the numbers of successful people near the top so these people will be rare.

What If I Don't Know How To Be Different?


This part takes time.  It involves study, interaction with other marketers, lots of help, and work.  The solution arrives when you are in the middle of something else -- call it "Life's Quirks".  And in time...if you haven't found a way to be different, ask your associates.  You must develop a network online that will interact back with you.  If that falters, then what you're after is being genuine.  Deliver your genuine side to sincerely help the most serious business owners and/or marketers. When you do that, you will stand out, and
a solid website of your own will help.

What About Leading With My Biz Opp?


When individuals lead with "the business opportunity" online, Google again doesn't like this marketing angle.  It's too tricky for consumers to realize when many don't think at this level.

My Company Does This So Why Can't I?


True.  They have greenbacks and as major industries, they lobby on behalf of their own business agendas to point the FTC head the other way.  Our American system is based on 2 things:  1) moving products at consumer levels...(consumer-based business model)...and 2) Working the federal lobbying system for money.


Your Strengths Will Be

Putting numbers in your favor. You do have to be much smarter than the average bear..think outside of traditional systems, try not to get boxed in by any one major company, and brand yourself.


It Starts With

* Forming your own call
* Pasting your name all over everything
* Working with people who "work back with you"
* Finding the place where major help is provided ...where you don't get baloney in return whenever you ask a question
* Being persistent and not taking "NO" for an answer!
* Keeping another job going while you learn, grow, and master your marketing -- ( I won't tell you otherwise).


Masterful Positioning

This term...called masterful positioning is the only thing that's different from you and say...the successful guy or gal sitting at the top of life. They have spent more time in the trenches, and they have learned to prospect, recruit, and close deals.  It took me about 2 shakes of a rabbit's tail to know that I had to brand my own name for starters..., and you should too.

In MLM -- you must brand your name.
In Affiliate Marketing -- use your first name.
If you do both -- brand your system.

Anytime you put anyone's name on anything, it should be your own name (alias..pen name...or your logo...whatever you prefer).  That's how it is when people buy something.  It has to do with "growing brand awareness" so you're it!


Brand Yourself And Do It So Often 


...that people talk about you at home.  If you're saying..."Yeah...but this all sounds great...but I need to get paid"!  I hear you.  Keep the other job going, but don't give up on your dream.  You will be able to do this when you specialize in something people really need.  That part is very big and most important.  You can do it, and it will take effort and time..., and you can do it in network marketing and affiliate marketing! 

Take everything in baby steps, be true to yourself and others, and the help will come to you + profound solutions.

Pulling in Laws of Attraction and Mastered Communication

Your biggest solutions connected to your success already sit in the palm of your hand. 

The ultimate reality is already inside of you -- connected to major solutions.  It's out there in life, but you have to attract it to you. 

Others help direct you to the sources you can pick and choose. 

If you keep your "old brain in check", challenge everything you've been taught in life to make room for the new stuff and new people entering. 

You'll hit roadblocks until you become a true expert...so this is where you must be tenacious.

You'll run into people "who should know better but don't"..., but don't let that reality stop you.  The real power will be YOU ...all along the way!  It usually won't be someone else unless you have a few people who steadily work with you. In that case, then the working relationship is profound.

Then,,,stay positive..talk to yourself in +++ ways..., tell yourself daily that your best solutions appear when you are most open.  Draw the new information to you, and be willing to periodically revisit what you've been doing.  If you're getting same results, then you have to step back and alter your strategy.

Invest some of your effort and $$ back into yourself.  You can't do it on nothing.

Then.., find out what works online, learn from others online, pick up new skills and educate yourself in ongoing ways.  You don't have to join a university program for 30 years to do it, nor do you have to buy into some $5,000 guru plan giving you very little (like no support or real technical stuff...the stuff that truly does do the heavy lifting for you).

HINT:  Get your own domain and web hosting!

B)  You must develop your own unique web presence!

If you are moving "MLM online or affiliate sites".  They do look the same so you're really after the ability to personalize content appearing in your name.

AGAIN: 

Online -- your uniqueness is your biggest advantage.  Google likes this fact... and so do consumers because it gives them freedom to pick and choose who they want to do business with most.

So hang in there and please stay tuned for more content.  I am working with a power force of marketers, but it takes time to coallate the content, rewrite it here and there, and send it to you.

Lastly, feel free to offer your comments or suggestions so I can help you better.  I keep your contact information confidential.  You won't be hounded by phone, nor will you be closed into some major biz opp.  I'm talking about offering you accurate help, by showing you WHAT you need to wrap your hands around as it pertains to classic marketing and business content consumers will want and pay for!
