Advice and Strategies That Will Take You Out of This World

Tag Archives: network marketing

Graduating From The School of Hard Knocks

Many of you out there have a college degree, and probably some student loans to pay off as well. I also received a degree, but mine was free. No loans for me to pay back, but there was a price to pay when you are graduating from the school of hard knocks.

Maybe some of you have taken a few courses from this very prestigious school.  I’ve seen lots of friends there, but it has been some of the hardest training that I’ve ever had to endure.

Graduating From The School of Hard Knocks

Coming out of Ford Motor Company after thirty-five years of successful service, I was looking for a new career. I didn’t want to go back to school, but I eventually signed up for some classes from the University of Hard Knocks.

I want to give you five pointers, that I learned during my time there, so that you won’t ever have to take the same courses that I did.

 

1. Do One Step at a Time

When I left Ford Motor Company and decided to change the direction of my life, the one thing that I didn’t want to do was flip burgers at the local MacDonalds, nor did I want to be a greeter at Walmarts.

I was introduced to network marketing and discovered the power of large numbers, and leveraging through a network. It’s a 120 billion dollar a year industry and many people are starting to discover this, “Business of the Future,” as Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump have labeled it.

But the first thing that happens is you get bombarded with business offers and solutions to help you in your business, and it can be very overwhelming to the newbie, such as I was.

Fortunately, I got introduced to some of the top marketers in the industry and I have learned so much from them.

Focus on one strategy until you master it and then use it in your pursuit of growing your business. Don’t try to spread yourself out to doing fifteen things all at once, like I did. You will just get frustrated and want to quit, it won’t work, so don’t even try it.

2. Pick a Strategy That is You

Find a marketing technique that fits you. One that your comfortable with and you can use to produce results.

Believe it or not, the best marketing strategies are free. Don’t get sucked into paying hundreds of dollars for stuff that you will never use and it will just sit as an empty desktop icon staring at you when you get on your computer.

You will go down this road, I did, we all did, it’s a class that they offer at the school of hard knocks. Learn this lesson well and as fast as you can, because you don’t want to have top repeat this class again, it can become very costly.

3. Put a Plan Together and Follow It

This was another hard lesson for me to learn. I was all over the map, because I didn’t have a blueprint mapped out to follow.

Find your one or two marketing strategies, master them and then put a daily and weekly plan of action into action, and implement your plan to success.

4. Keep Track of Your Results

Another class that is offered at the hard knock school, that I failed over and over, because I didn’t keep track of my results, whether they are good or bad.

You need to know if what you’re doing is working or not, otherwise you maybe walking down the road to failure and not even know it.

5. Make Changes When Necessary

If you aren’t getting the results that are leading you to success, then don’t ever be afraid to make changes. I was always afraid to make changes.

I’m a very patient person, and sometimes I can walk down the wrong road for a lot longer then I should, before I realize this isn’t working. I’m always trying to squeeze out every single drop of use from what I’m doing, before I abandon it.

Learn to follow your results and only do the things that are producing. Don’t be afraid to make the changes when they need to be done.

It’s all a part of the classes offered at the school of Hard Knocks, which are not all bad, as long as we learn and grow from them.

Just because it’s Christmas, I’m going to give you a free strategy that I use all the time. It’s seven videos that will explain free strategies that will get you up and running your business on the road to success, and avoid any classes in the school of Hard Knocks.

God bless your endeavors and have a Happy and prosperous New Year.

 

 

Network Marketers Need Tools

I have a friend who is a carpenter and my son is an electrician. In order for them to do their jobs properly, and make sure everything is in the right place, working the way it’s supposed too, they need the right tools. They have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on tools. They have to maintain those tools also, which ads another expense to their business.

Doctors also need the right tools to perform the delicate surgeries that they do. It costs them in the millions of dollars to operate or lease the complex things they need to perform they’re procedures on us. Would you want your doctor operating on you with old tools that were outdated or haven’t been calibrated in a long time?

Network Marketers Need Tools

1. Computer 

It’s no different when it comes to online marketing. Network Marketers need tools too. You need a computer, and you need a good one. Working on that ten year old computer, is not going to cut it. Technology changes so fast, you almost need to buy a new computer every five years or so. Expect to pay about $400-$600 dollars for a good computer.

2. Auto-Responder

Next, you will need a good auto-responder. I don’t care what business you’re in, you need to build a list of followers or leads, and you need to keep in touch with them. You need to constantly be feeding them the information and value that they’re looking for to help them with they’re businesses. This will generally cost you about $20 dollars a month.

3. Domain Name

You have to have a domain name to brand you. You are the business and you are the company. Get a domain name, preferably with your name dot com. A domain name is like owning a piece of the internet. It belongs to you and no one else. It’s like owning a piece of real estate that you control and build on.  Domain names run anywhere from $10 to $15 dollars a year. There are very inexpensive.

4. Hosting Account

You must have a hosting account in order to put your domain name on it. This hosting server gives you the place top park your domain and keeps it running on the internet. They vary in price, depending where you get it from, but they have come down in price.

You don’t want to get a cheap one either, as they don’t always have the best service or tech support when you need it. The price for a good hosting account can run you about $150 dollars a year.

5. Video Producer

Video marketing is growing every day. If you aren’t doing some type of video campaign, you are going to get left in the back of the room. 52% of people will be more likely to opt in to a site that has a video, then one that doesn’t.

People love to connect with a friendly face, that they can see and hear. It’s almost like being there right in front of them, and I guess you really are, but in video form.

You can do free videos on YouTube and other sites, but beware, as these sites have been known to shut down accounts for no reason at all. If that happens, you lose all your videos and complete access to your account.

The best way to go is to a video hosting site, where all your videos are safe, and you don’t have to worry about getting shut down. There may be some restrictions as to home many videos you can have, and they can get pricey.  The cost for this is around a $100 dollars a month.

Excluding the cost of a computer, your marketing costs will be about $1400 dollars a year, or just under $120 dollars a month.

Remember, every business or profession needs tools. Weather you’re in real estate, electrician, or a doctor, you need tools and you need training to be the best that you can be, and to earn the type of income that you want to earn. There are no free lunches.

I talk to people all the time, who want to come into network marketing and start to market online, but they don’t want to spend any money for tools or for their training. Nothing works like that…I know…I tried it.

I have something for you to use that can get you started on the right track right now, and the cost is free.

It’s got an auto-responder, domain names, hosting, conferencing, video producer, blog builder, lead capture page system, and some of the best training for online marketers, that will get you firing on all cylinders right out of the gate.

Instead of paying almost $120 dollars a month, you get it all for under $10 dollars a month.

That’s not an introductory offer either, that’s what it is every month. As a matter of fact, you can try all the tools that they have for a whole two weeks for free. No credit card needed…it’s free.

Click here to get all this for free.

If you’re ready to get your yourself branded online, and to get your network marketing business off and running, you need the right tools and you can get them all right here for under $10 dollars. I guarantee you won’t find anything better anywhere.

 

Want to be Rich? Do What the Rich Do.


How many times have you heard that said before? Just imitate someone and you will become like them? That just doesn’t sound right, but if we examine that just a bit closer, I think we will see something that is very rich and valuable…no pun intended.

When I was growing up, I always wanted to be a professional baseball player. I had living on the street behind me two of my idles and favorite ball players, that played for my hometown team, the Detroit Tigers, Jim Northrup and Dick McAuliffe. Now this is going way back, but they played for the 1968 World Champion Detroit Tigers. I also got to see another hero of mine, Al Kaline, but never was able to talk with him or get his autograph.

Now I played baseball and I loved the game, but I was never able to get to the big leagues. Just mimicking the moves and actions of others doesn’t mean you will have the same results. You have to get into the mind and heart of a true champion before you will ever be able to act like one. There is a mindset that has to be in place before you can  ever expect any real results.

There are many people who want to be rich, but very few that will actually attain it. All those people who are protesting and camping out on Wall Street, are so mad and angry at the rich simply because the rich are rich and they aren’t. Rich people didn’t get rich by complaining about those that were, or camping out in protest, they went out and changed their mindset and positioned themselves to gain the wealth that their heart and mind was set on.

If you look at the wealthiest people in the world, they didn’t attain their wealth in an instant. Statistics show that most millionaires have gone broke three or four times before they ever finally got it right, and it has taken them from between fifteen and twenty years before it all comes together.

I have a person that I’m coaching and they said that they have put out a couple of ads and still haven’t received any replies. It’s been a whole ten days and they are just about ready to quit. That’s why they will not only never attain any success or wealth in the network marketing industry, but I doubt if they will ever attain any success in anything because they have no drive, persistence, or patience to pursue their dreams…if they have any.

These are the people who feel they can mimic the actions of another and attain the same result, but without the heart and the drive and the correct mindset, they will fail and quit every time. That’s OK because not everyone is fit for network marketing or wealth, just like not everyone is fit to play professional baseball either. I don’t think there is a successful wealthy individual in the world, who hasn’t thought of quitting sometime, but winners never quit and quitters never win. You’ll never drive that BMW by quitting.

You have to decide who and what you want to be when you grow up and then pour all your energies and resources into that, and you still are never guaranteed success. Read Robert Kiyosaki’s book, “Rich dad, Poor Dad”, and see the mind-set change that had to occur in this self-made millionaire.

Now I have not attained the wealth or position that I want too, but I have a plan and I have a goal in the crosshairs, and I’m always moving forward to it. It’s not if, it’s when I reach it.

Here’s a couple of actions steps to get yourself moving in the right direction.

What Exactly Do You Want?

I was asked that by one of my mentors, and I said that I wanted to make 10,000 dollars a month. I thought I was shooting low, I just didn’t want to come out and say that I wanted to earn as much as I can. But she asked me what and how was I going to do to reach this goal that I have set before me, because she said it’s going to be harder than you think. She put some reality into my goals, not to discourage me, but rather to get my mindset on the right track so that I wouldn’t be discouraged when I hit some of the bumps in the road, and you will hit some.

Make a Realistic Plan

There will be people who want to suck all the time and energy out of you, so you have to plan to handle and train the people who come into your system or funnel of wealth. If you don’t you will become the personal tech support for all these people and you won’t have time to do anything else.

Gather All the Wagons Together and Move Out

Get moving and don’t take so much time sharpening all the pencils and lining all the chairs and desks up either. Put your plan into action today. Yes, you will hit bumps in the road and you will get an occasional flat tire once in a while, but don’t let that discourage you and don’t let that drain all the air out of your sails.  Someone told me that the reason we fall down is so we can learn how to get back up. When you fall down, you brush yourself off and you get back up and move on.

I guess these are things that I’ve talked about before, but I never get tired of, and I always have to be reminded of them, because it’s so easy to get discouraged from family, friends, or others that just might not be on the same page as you are, and even though they all may be well-intentioned, it’s always a good idea to have mentors or business partners that you can engage in and communicate with to keep your heart and mind focused on the path and the plan that you have set for yourself, and keep to it and success will come. Your financial future depends on it.

 

 

Leads Are The Wheels That Make Your Business Move Forward – Do You Need a New Set?

Leads leads leads, that’s all I ever heard about when I came into the network marketing industry. Well it didn’t take me long to figure out why either. I soon realized real fast, that without a funnel of leads, you’re not going anywhere with your network marketing business, especially those trips to the bank. You won’t be making many of those.

Leads are the wheels that make your business move forward. Do you need a new set? If you do, I would like to introduce you to one that will not only take you forward, but will make the trip faster and so much smoother than you ever dreamed of before. It’s the luxury liner of business leads.

The first thing you need to understand is attraction marketing. I get a lot of questions from newbies that are just joining the network marketing arena, and the first thing they want to do is go out and hammer everyone and their uncle about the next best business that there in. After they’ve chased everyone away and they’re left there standing all alone, penniless, they come to the conclusion that network marketing is a scam and they quit. They pass this onto all their family and friends and that’s why network marketing has received such a bad name. Quitters never win and winners never quit.

Next is to get involved with a marketing system that will teach you how attraction marketing works and how you can generate leads, most of them free, when you implement the right strategies. Now I know that there are a lot of them out there and they vary in prices, and I’ve seen quite a few of them myself, but the best one is My Lead System Pro. MLSP will not only give you training from some of the top earners in this industry but,  you will also be introduced and meet some of the up and coming stars. MLSP is by far the best marketing system on the planet.

You have to get the proper introduction and education as to what attraction marketing is all about, from the one who put it all together, Mike Dillard. If you’ve never heard of or seen his explanation of how this system works and how it’s made for him over 7 million dollars, and how it has revolutionized the network marketing industry, you need too as soon as possible. As a matter of fact get seven training videos from Mike Dillard on this subject, absolutely free right here, and start yourself on the right road to leads and prosperity. Listen to Mike himself explain it all to you.

The next step, after you’ve learned some of the basics to attraction marketing, is what I call the grand daddy of all lead system generating tools, LeadNetPro. This is the by far the best that I’ve ever seen in generating leads for any type of business you might have. Once you get your system set up you will never have to pay for a lead again.

Delivering 99% accurate data from some of the top search engines, Google, Yahoo, and more, your business will start to climb very rapidly. You will have more leads than you can handle.

They also have a voice broadcasting system that is just incredible. I’ve never seen anything like it and so easy to do. Once you set it, you can go about your other tasks and come back to leads that want you to call them back, because the system has done all the separating for you. If you’ve ever done cold calling, like I have, you won’t ever have to go through all those hang ups and nasty people again. This works!

Last, but certainly not least, is another favorite of mine and one that I use all the time, IMToolSuite. This is the one stop, has all the tools that every business needs. There is the capture page creator, voice and text messaging, video email, web conferencing, contact manager, fanpage creator, Face book greeter, and nine other tools that are all under one roof. No more having fifteen pages open trying to do everything, this is all at one page for you.

Some of these tools you may have already, like I did, and I was able to save over $100 per month when I could cancel them, because IMToolSuite already had them for me. Kenny Gregg, Cedrick Harris, and Jim Choa, know what it’s like being in the trenches all the time themselves, so who better to put together one of the best business tool boxes that every business owner should have, weather it’s internet or a brick and mortar business, this is a must have for all your business needs.

Leads are the life blood of any business, and without them your business will be heading south real quick. I hope I’ve given you a guide and a road that will help you, and maybe ease all the confusion that is out there.

I know lots of things get thrown at you all at once, but these are the ones that you can hook up too, and will get you to where you want your business to go, and that’s straight up.

God bless

Ever Feel Like Putting Up a “DO NOT DISTURB” Sign on Your Life?

The distractions are a part of life, but distractions in the your business can be devastating. They can come from very important people in your life, but one thing is certain, you cannot let them go unaddressed. They have got to be dealt with and should be dealt with right from the start of you entering into owing your own business.

Ever feel like putting up a “DO NOT DISTURB” sign on your life? I have and maybe you have as well.

I know this is going to be a rehash of something that I posted awhile back, but I think it ‘s that important. I know that it has been something that I have been continually fighting since I entered the network marketing industry with my own business. Every time I think I have it settled,  it shows its ugly head again.

Why does everyone constantly tread on your valuable time? Is it because they don’t take you seriously and they don’t hold the same respect or value to your time as you do?

That’s the heart of it. Now I know that there may be some variations to that truth, but that is basically the bottom line. People are not going to take you seriously until you take you seriously.

An example is company events. I never thought that they were as important as they are, so therefore my wife and my family would place other events into my schedule, sometimes without my knowledge, and they just assumed that I would drop everything and rearrange my time to accommodate them, and that’s exactly what I did.

Now don’t get me wrong, I love my family and my family means a great deal to me, and most of the time I would deem the things they wanted me to attend as important, and I would put myself out for them, but I realized that there has to be a definite dividing line between my business and other things, and it’s up to me to keep and hold that line steady.

You should have a business plan and some type of guidelines set up for yourself to follow, and they should be for both short and long-term goals.

I do daily and monthly plans and I have set for myself yearly plans as well. You have to have this set in place and then comes the hard part. Learn to follow them. This learning process can be hard to do, but it’s a process you have to complete.

Leave room for adjustments, as they will come. I don’t mean that you should be so hard and staunch in your attitude, that you are just a drill Sargent and no one can approach you. Be flexible, as this should also be a part of your business plan too.

This past week is a great example of this.

In one week, my grand-daughter asked if I would go with her into court and support her in facing one of the worst nightmares anyone can face.

She is ten years old and has been approached in a sexual manner by someone who she knows. She finally confided in my wife and it has resulted in a court case. I love my grand-daughter and I would drop anything that I was doing to be with her, and her family, during this very difficult time.

In the same week, my daughter-in-law’s father took his own life and the funeral was in the same week. We spent a couple of days with her and her family during another extremely difficult time.

These are situations that you would move events around, and create time in your schedule for. Anyone of you would do the same thing, and these are the things I’m talking about, but the crazy friend of the family who is always calling you, or the daughter who is calling you because she is upset over breaking another nail, those are things that you just don’t have time for at all.

Remember to follow these simple steps.

  1. You have to take your business seriously and you have to set yourself up for success, because no one else will.
  2. Make a business plan and learn to follow it, and I do mean this is a learning process.
  3. Make room for adjustments and only fill them with the important things in life.
  4. Learn to say, “NO”, to the time and energy draining items and people that drain you of your time and energy.
  5. Make sure you get the right amount of sleep and challenge yourself to get healthy.
  6. Remember, It’s OK to put up the “DO NOT DISTURB” sign on your life.

This is what true leaders and successful businesses must do to survive and prosper. Your business will thank you and your family will thank you.

Start a Business That Pays You Daily and Round The Clock

Sound like a dream come true? Maybe something that everyone talks about but never can produce?

I know what you mean, I thought the very same thing. Yea…yea let me see how this really works. Well it does.

I tried this out and it does really work. Once you set everything up it works on auto pilot and literally you can be drawing an income while you do other things like sleeping or other stuff.

As we speak my wife and I are in the upper part of Michigan doing a family reunion. I did bring my computer, as I always do, and when I got up I went to take a look at my business sites and I saw that I had some money deposited into my PayPal account from this system. While I was sleeping, I was making money.

That’s the only way to earn an income, isn’t it? Oh yea, there is the other way, it’s called a J.O.B, if you’re lucky enough to have one. It’s never a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket, at least that’s what my dad always told me. That’s the whole idea of network marketing, leveraging your time and energies and creating multiple streams of income.

Oh by the way there are no start up costs and all the tools you need, with the exception of a domain name, (which costs about ten dollars a year), are provided for you. A back-office, auto responder, training videos that explain everything for you step by step, and more, and there is no cost to you. Did you just hear what I said…FREE SET UP!

I know there will be people who will find things to complain about, even if you gave them a million dollars, they would complain that the bills were to stiff. Those kinds of people will never by happy unless to told them to sit at home in front of the TV and we will send you a paycheck every week, they would still wein about something.

Just stay at home and we will send you your check.

This is not for those kinds of people but we are pretty close. You will still have to do some work. Watch the training videos and they will explain everything. Once your system is set up, it runs on auto-pilot, and all you have to do is count the money.

You’ll never know if you don’t give it a try, and if you don’t give it a try don’t complain about how you don’t have any money and can’t find something that you can do in network marketing, and this must all be a pyramid scheme and a scam.

I have a great idea, if you already have a primary business that are you involved in, and you need something to help you out in your marketing costs, this is it. It’s what I use for my costs. It works on auto pilot and I don’t have to keep baby-sitting all day long. No phone calls, unless you want too.

I highly recommend this for any network marketer, and any network marketing company.

 

 

Time Costs Money – What’s the Value You Put on Your Clock?

tick tick - time is ticking away

Tick tick, time is ticking away. Doesn’t it seem just like it was yesterday, as we look back in time and see a younger you, your family, kids, and grand kids. Wow! It just seems to fly by so fast.

We all have the same amount of time. 24 hours in a day and 365 days a year. How many years will we live…well that’s not up for me or you to say, but even if we do take real good care of ourselves and eat right, and exercise, we are still just a tick of the clock away from entering through that door of death, and we will all walk through it one day, we just don’t know when.

With time at a premium, and the old phrase, “Time is money” – what’s the value you put on your clock of life?

I gave thirty-five years of my life to Ford Motor Company, in exchange for money. Some was given to me in straight forward green paper bills, that I exchanged for the necessities of life, and some of my time was exchanged for dental, vision, and healthcare benefits.

I thought it was a good exchange, and some would argue, even today, that I got paid way to much for my time. I guess I say the same thing about athletes and CEO’s of companies, that they get way to much money in exchange for their time, but we pay it anyways.

I think of all the mom’s out their, who are way under paid if you ask me, what would their time be valued in the open market? What would someone pay for their time and expertise in raising other’s children. Well, just check out what a working mom pays for someone to watch their kids, while they are exchanging their time for money, at their places of employment.

It can cost anywhere from 10 – 15,000 dollars a year for childcare in the US, and the price of raising a child in the US today, to age eighteen, is about 300,000 dollars. Are mom’s just a little bit underpaid today? That is the biggest under statement of the year.

What about your time? What kind of value do you put on your time? What is it worth to you? What would others be willing to pay for it?

97% of people work in the system of a 9 to 5  job. They exchange their time for money, as I did for 35 years at Ford Motor Company. I had to ask for permission to go to the bathroom, when I was going to get a vacation, (which was only four weeks a year), and I had to work the hours that they told me to work.

This system is a flawed system, as about 10% of the population in the US has figured out, because that’s the percent of the American population, that is out of work today. They are unemployed, meaning no income coming in. This system doesn’t work.

The government tried to bail this system out, but we’ve all seen the results of that.

I was introduced to a new system, and when I say new, it has been around for a long time, but it was new to me, by a friend of mine awhile back.

He had bought a gum ball machine, and that gum ball machine generated about $60 a month for him. When he had enough money, he went out and bought another gum ball machine, which cost him about $40.

After he had obtained ten gum ball machines he was generating about $600 a month. He had to put in about three hours a week to maintain the machines, so he was exchanging three hours of his time for $600. That’s $200 an hour. How much do you get for your time at your job?

If he had 100 gum ball machines generating $60 a month income, that’s $6000 a month. Let’s say it took him ten hours a week to main this many gum ball machines…that’s $600 an hour for his time. Not even a doctor or psychologist makes that kind of exchange for their time, and they had to go to school for ten years or more, and they are probably still paying those student loans off.

Now if one of the gum ball machines breaks or is out of commission for a while, he still has income coming in on all the rest. His lifestyle doesn’t change at all, because he has multiple streams of income working for him through the other gum ball machines, and that my friends, is what network marketing is all about.

In the old system, when you lose your one source of income, it’s all over. You lose everything. Unfortunately many people are experiencing that today in our country.

Doesn’t have to be that way for you. You can change systems today.

Now I know change is never an easy thing to do. We like our comfort and our easy chairs, but to make things better for the future, you have to climb out of the box of comfort today, so you can live the life of ease and comfort tomorrow, not just for you but for your entire family as well.

Robert Kiyosaki, famed author of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad book series, has two books, that I would highly recommend for you to get and read today.

The first one is called, “The Business of The 21st Century” In this book Robert Kiyosaki talks about how he believes that the network marketing industry affords the best change for anyone to get out of the old system, by starting their own business, through the vehicle of network marketing. He calls it the business of the 21st century. Excellent book.

The next one is called, “Cashflow Quadrant”. In this one Robert talks about the four different quadrants of cashflow and where we all fit in. Some of what I just explained with the story of my friend. Getting into the right quadrant is going to make the biggest change in your life. This is also a   must read.

 

Robert Kiyosaki's Newest Book

 

 

To get either one of these books just click your mouse on the picture of the book  you wish to have. I would definitely recommend both of them.

With these choices available to you, what would you rather do with your time, exchange it for a paycheck from a 9 to 5  job, or start buying gum ball machines?

Well maybe gum ball machines are not for you, but the network marketing industry has around 5000 companies that market an array of products for you to choose from.

Mine happens to be gold and silver. If your interested in starting your own gold and silver business and would like to work with me, please click on the words, “gold and silver“.

Your time is very valuable, and I think you’re worth it. Start getting paid what you deserve. Your time clock is ticking away.

 

Is Email Marketing Dead Today?

Hate spam, and most internet marketers that I know hate spam also. When I think of spam, I think of email. Sometimes I get so much spam, I don’t even want to open and read my email, but email has been associated with the internet since it’s inception.

Remember, when the idea of sending a message across cyberspace to a friend, in another state, was just the most incredible thing ever. The first email message was sent some forty years ago, and propelled the internet as a viable means of communication.

What was brand new back then has become so commonplace today, and like everything good, there are those who abuse the system, but as a network marketer, using the vehicle of the internet, I ask you… is email marketing dead today?

Text marketing, QR codes, and video marketing are coming into their own and are very effective forms of marketing, but do people still read their emails?

Yes they do, and maybe even more so today then they did way back when.

Email has taken on different forms, and you can add so much to an email today that you couldn’t before. Videos, pictures, hyperlinks to your website, all so much more to make your email a virtual television commercial online.

It’s also cost effective and practically pays for itself when you want to move someone from conversation to conversion.

But what makes your email such an effective tool, is the value you put into it. What draws people to you is the value you bring to them, in exchange for their valuable time.

Spamming people, with all those relentless promises of wealth and prosperity over night, with the next greatest product…don’t work. Ever hear of the delete tab, because that’s where they end up. A waste of your time and theirs.

Quality email content builds your relationship and trust with your audience through effective subject lines, that entice them to read more, writing as if you were sitting right across the table from them, and handing over the quality goods that your prospects need to hear and will be willing to share with others.

Lots of people think email is old fashioned, and text marketing is the way to go, but the reality is, with a strong push for quality content that targets your  market, email is more powerful today than it ever has. It moves the conversation from business and product to a more personal environment. It provides a more direct line of communication.

The most successful marketers have a good solid relationship with there lists, through the vehicle of email. I bet you could even name a couple of them, that you might even look forward to getting their emails, because you know that they are going to be giving you solid information or training, that you can use, and that you don’t mind sharing with your people also. That’s the  name of the game right there.

Is email marketing dead today? Absolutely not, and if you aren’t using it, you are missing out on a good, (old fashioned),  solid tool that you should be using from your marketing tool belt.

A Personal Hello is Far Superior Than a Generic Hi

Have you ever been in a situation where you bump into someone that you haven’t seen in a long time and you can’t remember their name? Especially someone that you may have worked with very closely for a long time. Embarrassing isn’t it?

What was your name again?

Or what about when you bump into someone, that you haven’t seen in awhile, and they not only remember your name but maybe remember a situation or circumstance that you or a family member was going through? That is impressive, and doesn’t it make you feel kind of important? Doesn’t it make you feel good about yourself and that person who still remembers you?

I am terrible at names and so this sort of thing is something that I battle with quite frequently. It doesn’t take a long separation or a real different setting for me to forget someone’s name. I have to work very hard at getting this all down right.

This sort of amnesia is not something that you want to get into the habit of doing in your business.

Well you don’t have to anymore, because I have found a tool that is just one part of a whole arsenal of tools, that can help you with things such as this.

It’s called IMToolSuite, and if you haven’t heard of this remarkable toolbox of marketing tools for all the top marketers, you are going to here about one part of it right now.

It’s called video email, and I know video email is not exactly new, but this is.

I do a lot of marketing on Face Book, as many of you do also, and when I get people that send me a friend request, I do what most of all of you do, I click the accept button and that’s the end of it.

Then I got fancy and would send them a very generic hello, and that was good, and on occasion I would get a video from someone about a friend request, but that has only happened maybe twice out of thousands of friends.

What if you could send them a personal video calling them by their name and making a connection from something you found off their profile? What if the video was wrapped in a very professional looking template that was about Face Book or better yet, about the very industry that they were involved in. If they were in real estate, have a very cool looking real estate template. If they were in a particular network marketing company, have it in the template that represents their company.

That’s not all, when your short welcoming video is over they are immediately sent to your website, another video, or capture page of your choosing. It could be about your company or about IMToolSuite. They have a great affiliate program connected to this incredible product also. More about that later.

I have found, when people get a personal video email from me, and I look right into the camera and say their name, and refer to something from their profile, they feel important and good about themselves. And if they are in real estate and see this very professional real estate template, or whatever business they are in, they are going to want to know more about me and where they can get this same tool that I’m using.

That’s when they get sent immediately to a place where all their questions can be answered, and signing up is just a breeze after that. After all, it’s just $5.oo to try IMToolSuite out, for two whole weeks, and try the other fifteen tools out that are in place for your use.

Did I also tell you that I saved over a hundred dollars a month because I got to cancel a couple of tools that I was using from other sources, that I didn’t need anymore. They were already in the IMToolSuite’s back-office.

This is just not for network marketers either. I am planning a campaign to take IMToolSuite to all the brick and mortar businesses around my area. If they have customers, they need IMToolSuite as well.

Wait till you here about the Face Book Fanpage creator and the webinar on demand tool. Absolutely phenomenal! That will be coming in in my next posts.

What are you waiting for? Pull out $5.00 bucks and try it for two weeks. You won’t regret it.

Recruiting and Moving Products is Network Marketing

Network marketing is not a pyramid scheme, and it’s not a scam! Now that we’ve got that out-of-the-way let’s get to the heart of this post.

Network marketing has got such a bad rap from people who are not in network marketing, don’t know anything about network marketing, and never have been in any kind of business in their life.

Have you ever noticed that the people who complain and wine the most about something are always the ones that know the least about it.

I witnessed an automobile accident a couple of years ago, as it happened. I saw the car go flying off the road and land just in front of a telephone pole right in front of me. I parked my car and rushed over where I found a very frightened young teenage girl, she was unhurt, but very scared.

After the police came and the reports were filled out, I heard all kinds of people who said that a girl was killed, that her baby was in the back seat, etc, etc. Everyone of those people were not there when the accident happened and didn’t have a clue as to what they were talking about, but yet they freely gave out false information as to what happened.

I see that very same thing happen in the network marketing industry. If you are interested in getting involved in a network marketing business of your own, talk to some one who is in the business and knows what they are talking about. There are credible and honest people in this industry who give out value and help to those who are seriously looking for it.

Like any business, recruiting and moving products is network marketing. Whether you own a brick and mortar business or any business, you must move products and recruit others to help you move products to keep your business flourishing. That’s how business works, and that’s how you make money.

More and more millionaires are being produced through network marketing. More and more people are coming into network marketing, out of necessity, and finding a completely new career, that is producing for them another income.

Through the internet, a brand new stream of businesses, and a whole new way of doing business is evolving, and more and more companies are jumping on this band wagon. Companies failing to comprehend the substantial pace at which the internet is growing are already loosing ground to competitors. In the recent past even retail giants missing opportunities to compete have disappeared completely.

Network marketing is “The business of the 21st Century”, according to business leader and best-selling author, Robert Kiyosaki. His, “Rich Dad – Poor Dad”, book series is still one of the best sources of information to small business owners today.

Robert Kiyosaki's Newest Book

In the next ten to twenty years, the internet is going to change the way we all do business, and network marketing is going to be in the fore front and leading the way for people, just like you and me, to start and maintain a business of our very own, not just creating another stream of income, but producing a source of income for our families and other families for decades to come.
