Review of Internet Marketing Checklist

Hi fellow MLM'ers and affiliates,

Sharing the "pilot's checklist" of Internet Marketing!

It's taken me 2.5 years to get the low down on what's absolutely
going to move you forward.

Here are some points you must cover if you're going to build a profitable online
business. Best part is you can move anything you wish!

This checklist covers paid (pay-per-click) and free means (published
articles and more) so you'll get the strongest start possible.

I recommend you find out everything you can about using the free
business builder methods before you head into pay-per-click (PPC)
advertising.

Work through this checklist by taking the free 30-day training.
Opt-out if you don't like any messages.

Beginners -- use the "starter training" by clicking on
the purple link I've provided.

Intermediates -- use "The Immediate Edge" training
only if you've been generating consistent sales online
for at least a period of several months.

By working through starter training, this work will
prepare you for "The Immediate Edge".

If it takes you 2 months to understand starter training, that's
okay. Work through this information at your own pace.

Find out across all industries what the public wants --

  • see what people will pay for
  • find out what they won't buy
  • know exactly what advertisers pay
  • look at your competitors to see what they're doing
  • own a thrilling business
  • avoid sinking ships

This training addresses outsourcing and
automation and many other core aspects of proper
Internet Marketing.

Best Sellers Don't Make Authors Money

Hi fellow MLM'ers and affiliates,

First off -- today, I'd like to talk about why authors of best-selling
books don’t make money. There's that illusion that "if I publish
a best-seller, I'll make tons of money...and I won't ever have to
work again. I can sit back in my easy chair, enjoy the sun and sand
...and whatever else my mind conjures". Reality is, we're here to help
one another and to grow. How can you contribute something worth-
while to humanity if you're sitting in your easy chair, said kindly?

So where is the money made?

From a marketer’s standpoint, the purpose of writing a best-seller
is to:


  • position yourself as an expert
  • gain credibility and trust
  • use several marketing resources as a lead generation tool...,
  • every link listed on this blog teaches you how to do that
  • set yourself apart from the herd.

You set up elements -- call them e-books, best-sellers, websites,
blogs, Squidoo lenses and ad pages but what does that mean for you?

The money is not in the book… it’s in the “Empire” that's built around
the book and other things you put out there carry your name
as the main brand.

Why?

You gain notoriety in public by contributing to the betterment
of
others. If you do that well, they will pay you when you help. But
you must reach out to others.

Do that with any product or service or a line of products and
some will want to know what you're doing.

Now, I'll toss out Robert Kiyosaki's heavily-cited book, "Rich Dad
Poor Dad". His book was, in truth, a “brochure” for his Cash flow 101
game.

Richard Branson’s updated book, "Losing My Virginity" *(do we really
want to know this) was a “brochure” for his Rebel Billionaire TV show!

Creating a best-selling book is a “marketing strategy” just like SEO,
Adwords, viral marketing, email marketing etc. Authors make money
from what their book does for them.

Please feel free to leave your comments or check out any links as I've
listed them thus far. As with everything, this blog is subject to change.

Close People Online Without Leaving Home

Hi fellow MLM'ers and affiliates,

This post answers prior postings, in an effort to show you what can work

to your advantage, as you harness the power of the Internet.


Why?

Are you tired of running all over the place ?

Are you tired of paying out huge monthly chunks for corporate

materials not moving as fast as you'd like?

Would you like to be able to harness the power of technology,

touching something once, having it out there for months on end

working for you over and over again?


Then Consider Work From Home Promoting YOUR Business -- Your Way

Promote your MLM. This is not about me hitting you

up with a chance to work for someone else. That's why you're here.

You're looking for ways to turn your greatest challenges (lead acquisition) into

something profitable for you, without going broke.

Can This Be Done?

Absolutely.

Let's say that you're paying $40/month for a corporate

site in your MLM. This is tough on you because the real

hazard is that anyone you bring to these sites becomes

the property of your company. Now let me ask you, is this

really fair? In a free enterprise system, let's face matters

openly. You worked hard to make valuable contacts.

You talked to your folks. You dialed them several times

and now you're going to give those people away?


Franchisers Don't Give Away Their Contacts

I'll ask you to indulge me a bit. I've been a franchiser

for 10 years. In that time, I never turned over ONE

contact name to the corporate office. So why should

you do so, said with respect? You're paying for

advertising. Shouldn't you get to keep your list?

I'm Going To Show You How To Build A Qualified List

First, you need a solid starter menu. What you're after

is a step-by-step recipe you can use to build that list.

We're talking about building a list of contacts who already

have what you offer.

How Is That Done?

Your success comes only as a result of your hard work.

You must be diligent because if you don't like making

huge and unnecessary monetary donations, then you're

going to have to sweat your way into greater equity.

By that, I mean, you can put yourself out there using

free means but it's going to take work on your part.

You still have to piece together different marketing elements

to make your business work. That's the reality behind true

business ownership. No one is going to press buttons for you,

closing sales for you so you can collect your checks.

You Need A System Which Is Simple



What happens when people want to take an independent

turn online, whether they're marketing their MLM or

any affiliate product is that they have to build the basic

building blocks of a structured campaign.

It Starts With Step A, As You Move to Step B

Click here.

The Solution Resides In How You Market Your Product

As long as you keep your product or service general..., like

advertising financial management, you can talk about debt

reduction, cash management and investment vehicles

through the use of general tools you'd offer. Then, you

can talk about what happens when those tools are implemented

to deliver specific results. When you

can communicate these benefits, you're telling your audience

what they can expect to achieve, using YOUR SYSTEM.

If it's health/wellness you're promoting, then you're talking

about how someone would go about reducing their weight

without using yo-yo diets or hazardous and costly prescribed

medications.



What would that do for your exposure?


Basically, you're turning your biggest liability into your greatest

asset. You're getting qualified leads who want what you have to

offer for less.


Miss Any Steps and You Get Ziltch

Click here.


One last word -- you only want to use your name when you go online.

This is important because there are many people who haven't been exposed

to an MLM and they may not know what an upline is.

How To Close Online

Greetings Fellow MLM'ers and Affiliates,

I will show you how to close someone online.

First -- you must have some kind of an infrastructure set up online.

My blog shows you basics.

More will come to answer that challenge.


Second -- then you must have a way to drive traffic.

Main point: people have to see you to know you.


With repeated exposure, you naturally build interest.


Third -- then you must find precisely what the other person wants.

If you miss this boat...and it can be challenging, they're gone


Fourth -- then you must tell them why they're looking for what they want,

showing them how it applies to their business. When you do this well, you

will increase your chances of closing, IF your offering gives them solid

product delivery and support. This is important.


I will offer another post today, to show you examples.
