Satire: Before November, Ask Who's Minding the Store?

Hi Fellow MLM'ers and Affiliates,

I promise to deliver the remains of the Internet Marketing checklist but I'm certain that it's not foremost in American minds lately.

I'm also not very big on tracking the political agendas of either American party and I'm not a 'political satirist'. The simplest reality is that if you've been tracking the news with even one eye open, have you ever asked yourself WHY AREN'T THE OBVIOUS QUESTIONS completely addressed during a presidential debate? Maybe I'm more concerned than the average bear, or maybe I'm not.


1) We're not told as the American public HOW the Presidential Candidates will solve the U.S. economic "stagflation".

2) I decided to look for some kind of US global ranking today, to numerically see where we stood relative to other nations. But then I rebuked my own questioning thinking, "A number isn't going to tell me how rough things might get". The family investment portfolio has dropped quite a bit these past few months and I'm not the only one who's watching their life savings blow down the drain.


MEANWHILE:

The media doesn't like to talk complete financial realities --

• Corporate America is outsourcing 24,000 American jobs just from Hewlett Packard alone, after they completed a multi-hundred billion dollar merger. They told their employees they were struggling last year. And other companies aren't far behind.
• Our Gross Domestic Output (productivity) is far less than foreign consumption (imports) -- true for sometime now
• Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy and AIG was bailed out
• The Feds offered their help (for as much as they could)
• Most of my life-long friends were hit by the latest Texas hurricane
• We have FEMA housing our hurricane refugees on the white sands of damaged shores, situated somewhere in-between cow pastures and jails, not including the 3 million who migrated across the U.S. in search of new life because of hurricane Katrina.

It takes a bit of business schooling to read this stuff. More obviously, many of us can surmize we're logically in some trouble nationwide. If you read a few pages and find you're yawning, then try reading Bill Cosby's advice offered below my signature.

Warning: there are tidbits in Cosby's message even I found offensive...and I'm fairly
forgiving regarding the worst of human habits.

Thanks and Take Good Care,

Bill Cosby's (Write-Me-In-On Your Ballot) --

I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE.

HERE IS MY PLATFORM:

(1) 'Press 1 for English' is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait at the border until you can.

(2) We will immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to straighten out the country's attitude. NO imports, no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.'

(3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it.

(4) All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our many observation towers on the southern border. (six month tour) They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.

(5) Social security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin' in, you ain't gettin' nuttin' out. The president nor any other politician will not be able to touch it.

(6) Welfare - Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40 hour school week and the successful completion of urinalysis and a passing grade.

(7) Professional Athletes --Steroids - The FIRST time you check positive you're banned for life.

(8) Crime - We will adopt the Turkish method, the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more life sentences. If convicted, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for your victim; gun, knife, strangulation, etc.

(9) One export will be allowed; Wheat, The world needs to eat. A bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.

(10) All foreign aid using American taxpayer money will immediately cease, and the saved money will pay off the national debt and ultimately lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask the American people if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision whether it's a worthy cause.

(11) The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress.

(12) The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes but a vote for me will get you better than what you have, and better than what you're gonna get.

Thanks for listening, and remember to write in my name on the ballot in November.

God Bless America !!!!!!!!!!!

Link Exchanges - Increases Indexing

Hi Fellow MLM'ers and Affiliate Marketers,

Today, someone very special sent me an e-mail. If you wish to know the identity of this individual, click below:

Business Opportunity


Goal of This Post -- Demonstrate the Power Behind Link Exchanges

Ever wonder how you virtually duplicate yourself effectively ? Here's a technique that multiples the power of YOURSELF in ways you can't imagine by increasing the level of indexing you acquire online. You could say this is one way to get into 'VIRAL MARKETING'. Where one contact begets another... as site traffic may be shared. Don't be afraid to do something like this, if you're a social person.

Quality links help you develop natural or organic traffic (the traffic you want as a result of your published work and your targeted messages, not the kind most pay for delivering few results).


Basic Guidelines --

Whenever you exchange links, always be certain to check out the sites of those who would like to represent you. There should be a similiar match in content so you won't publish a link talking to an opposite niche group. You won't publish a link driving people to "Alaskian Eskimos" when your content targets "People Who Adore Tropic Regions".


Look for a Match in Business Mindset --

1) Does the link leading to the other business (or individual) basically share similiar values?

2) Is there reciprocation?

If you meet the first 2 criteria, then you most likely have a match.

3) Look for people in your link exchange who will offer grounded,

information, as they know their information best.

4) Does this business (or individual) represent the public good?

5) Does this source 'basically do the right thing' in balanced keeping with self and others?

We have a 'yes' to these basic questions.

This gentleman talks in universal terms what's good for many people is generally good for business. Feel free to see what's he's talking about and take notice about looking for the positives in life, even when we've 'hit bumps in the road'.

I will continue to bring additional human resources your way.

IM Checklist, Cont'd: Product Creation, (Part 3)

Hi Fellow MLM'ers and Affiliates,

Welcome. Offering part 3 of the full Internet Marketing checklist. As more people see an overview, they're able to sift through proven materials from hype, better able to make better marketing decisions. While the Internet is not 'the end all be all', it can be powerful.

There are people harnessing the power online and they represent both marketing realms. The numbers are growing. Those who implement consistently over time eventually develop their own qualified, targeted leads based on the messages they publish. It's not an overnight deal. On average, the best marketers will spend anywhere from 3 - 5 years developing a responsive lead list. That's the norm.

Part 3 of the IM overview expands the blueprint for action, no holes barred. Best news of all -- you don't have to go broke implementing this blueprint because we're talking about developing natural traffic based on what's called achieving an organic listing. For this end-result, it means for average Internet Marketers that there will be a lot of self-publishing..., but it's not impossible.

SO HERE'S THE DEAL IN INTERNET MARKETING

You need time --

• time to learn and absorb
• time to research a profitable, sizeable niche (one that's small enough so large companies won't care -- large enough to support you at decent levels)
• master your first campaign -- rinse and repeat -- develop multiple campaigns online
• take your mastery to the public

PROOF IN THE PUDDING

• Look to the actual market trends to see what fellow businesses are doing online
• See what's happening over time
• Make up your own mind
• Everything in the economy is shifting so nothing is static online or offline
• Add'l tools appear online, as the Internet evolves
• Research Dan Kennedy, Gary Halbert, Perry Marshall, Rich Schefren
• Recent IM pressures push marketers to 'be straightforward with customers online' because of prior bad raps...and content is key.

HERE'S THE PRODUCT CREATION LIST, PART 3

3.1 General Product Creation Techniques

Fast, effective strategies for creating your own products to sell online.

Why ? Sometimes it's necessary, in order to differentiate yourself (stand out)

from the larger market. This is advanced marketing, not recommended for

beginners.

3.2 Creating and Distributing E-Books (Electronic Books)

Creating informative ebooks with ease, selling them online. Best labeled as whitepapers

or 'help pdf's', this is a legitimate way to increase your expertise in the eyes of your consumers.

3.3 Creating and Distributing Books(Paper-Based Books)

Becoming a published author by selling your own books online. This is not a 'get-rick quick' scheme. This is an initial way to establish yourself as a credible source, opening the first door to other marketing means (seminars, tapes, educational DVD's and more).

3.4 Creating and Distributing Video Products

Creating video products that you can sell on DVD or directly online.

3.5 Creating and Distributing Big-Ticket Products

These are products that sell for $200 - $20,000.

3.6 Developing, Promoting and Running Seminars

Seminars are big business! You can profit from them too.

3.7 Outsourced Product Creation (Ghostwriting)

Getting the creation of products outsourced.

Covering Section 4 in the coming days ahead.

Also, please know that there's no such thing as a 'turnkey system'..., BUT you have the power to pick and choose what you want for your business, readily answering the demands of your clients.
