First, let me just say – if you don’t already know me – I’m Adam Holland and I’ve been working full time from home for the past 2 years.  I’ve created 2 separate businesses online: my affiliate marketing business, and my direct sales/mlm business.  BOTH of these full time incomes are as a direct result of learning MARKETING. And THAT is what Andrew and Marie focus on in this training.

Understand that when you learn how to market, it almost doesn’t matter what business you’re in.  Why?  Because every business requires new leads and prospects to survive.  And when you can command a flood of new visitors to your website (and thus more leads) you can grow virtually ANY business.

With that in mind, here’s what’s included in MLM Zing:

1. Your Lead Funnel
2. Keyword Research
3. SEO
4. PPC
5. Video Marketing
6. Article Marketing
7. Press Releases/Special Reports
8. Social Media
9. Advanced Link Building

Now, understand that you can literally take any one of these forms of marketing and grow a 6 figure business if done right and done on a large scale.

For instance, I create most of my traffic through SEO (blogs, articles, etc.).  I MASTERED it and now even have several outsourced-workers working for me right now.  I could do this because I learned it down to a SCIENCE.

Then there’s Jonathan Budd and Mark Hoverson – both of these guys primarily built their 7 figure business on PPC and video.

My point: there’s a freakin’ TON of info in MLM Zing, and you do NOT want to take it lightly – OR get overwhelmed trying to learn it all at once.  So read through the rest of this review, module by module, and decide what 1-2 forms of marketing you will focus on.

Your Lead Funnel – this is mandatory.  No funnel, no money.  Pretty simple.  Without a sales process in place, you’re just guessing.  You “hope” to get people to your website and “hope” that someone eventually buys.  That just doesn’t cut it.  This first module shows you how to set this up and how to make it as effective as possible.

Keyword Research – this is the difference between getting NO traffic and getting THOUSANDS of targeted visitors to your site.  In this module MLM Zing goes over how to properly use different tools to find keywords that are getting a good amount of searches, but aren’t so competitive that you can’t get the traffic from them.  One of the tools that I use to do this is Micro Niche Finder, although most of their trainings involve another program called Market Samurai.

SEO – this module goes over search engine optimization.  This is basically the process of getting your content to the top of the search engines for the purpose of creating traffic to your website.  This module, in my opinion, is a great crash course on SEO but to fully understand every aspect of it I suggest getting SEO Networker.  If the $1300 for that program is out of your reach, stick w/ this training.

PPC – great module on pay-per-click advertising.  Now, of course I’ve bought PPC courses from $500 and up – and they’ve got some crazy tactics, but this program is MORE than enough to get a PPC campaign up and running for a newbie.  It talks about everything from analyzing competition to the difference between the search/content network, and a bunch more.  It does touch on some advanced and intermediate techniques, but mostly this is a “cliff’s notes” to PPC.

Video Marketing – again, some basic strategies as well as some new ones that I didn’t even know about.

Article Marketing – GREAT module.  I personally love article marketing.  When I first started online I was recently unemployed and I had all the time in the world to market my business, I just had NO BUDGET.  So I took to article marketing.  The cool thing about this is you can learn the stuff in this module and apply it on basically no budget, and then use some of their other paid methods to help turn your article marketing in to overdrive.

PR/reports – great stuff, I’ve just don’t personally think that you can build a business on Press Releases.  It’s great to get a wave of traffic at one time, but I prefer to build my business on more long-term strategies.

Social Media – this is just one of those strategies that I don’t use, and that’s probably a BAD idea.  I’ve got a maxed out Facebook friends list and a Twitter following of 2800 people.  And I’m sure I’ve made some money from my Facebook list, but social media in general isn’t something I’ve spent a bunch of time on.  There’s some great tactics in this module, so if you do want to build your list quickly and for dirt-cheap, social media may be the way to go.

Link Building – between this and SEO, I’ve been able to get a crazy amount of traffic across several niches.  And when I browsed through this module, I’ve got to admit I was pretty p*ssed off.  Why?  Well, because Andrew and Marie are giving away some secrets in this module that I only shared with people on my business team.  THAT is how powerful this module is when used with SEO, articles, and other forms of content.

MY REVIEW ON THE ENTIRE PROGRAM AS A WHOLE:

All of these tactics are very relevant to today’s internet marketing world.  This is the perfect introduction to internet marketing for mlmers because it gives a great overview of all of these strategies – from understanding the basic terms, to how to use research tools, and the thought-process behind everything.

The only drawback that I see is a lack of case studies and VERY specific examples.

What I mean by this is it’s one thing to tell someone to write an article and even give them some examples of titles.  But show people from start-to-finish how you go from keyword research, to using those keywords in an article, to increasing your CTR on your author bio box…  A to Z.

Just simply mentioning something doesn’t mean that the viewer will know what you’re talking about.  So this high level of depth is missing from this course.  But this is why it’s also dirt cheap for an internet marketing course as in depth as it is.   I know that sounds contradictory, but let me explain.

I’ve purchased thousands of dollars in courses that go through this same information.  Problem is, I spend THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS to learn this same information!  For a measly $297 (less than the cost a 1 credit hour at any of the 6 colleges in my area) you can get your hands on a TON of info to get your online mlm business off the ground.

As you start to learn these forms of marketing, you’ll start to gravitate to one or 2 strategies that you prefer.  Then you can branch out to other more expensive courses that teach you even MORE about those strategies.

Don’t get me wrong though – there IS a bunch of stuff in this course that is intermediate.  And this course DOES include everything that you’ll need to go from zero to 6 figures in my opinion.  But as you focus on these different areas you’ll understand how you want to “fill in the gaps” in the “cliffs notes” that is this course.

I give MLM Zing an 8/10 and a MUST BUY if you’re a total newbie to internet marketing.

For complete details on the $1299 in FREE bonuses I’m giving away to MY SEO Networker customers, visit my review blog here: SEO Networker Bonus.

These bonuses include FREE coaching and my ENTIRE online mlm training suite.  No joke, between Ferny and Ray’s training, and MY training – you will have no excuse but to be the next online mlm guru – or at least ‘guru in training’ …

With that being said, you’ve got to know just how important SEO Networker was and IS in my business right now.  I had a TON of training from other online gurus, mlm experts, and more…  I’ve purchased a TON of programs, ebooks, courses, and coaching programs.  I learned alot, applied alot, and I got some decent results.

After about a year online, I still wasn’t making the kind of money I ’should have’ been making.  Sure, I had already pretty much “replaced” my income – I was unemployed so ANY income was acceptable at that point.. haha!  But here’s the problem I had: many of those courses gave very generic info, and seemed to leave out BIG pieces of the puzzle.

Conceptually, I thought I knew what I was doing…  But because I didn’t understand the BIG PICTURE and how everything works as a whole, I wasn’t maximizing my profits.  In fact, I was working as much as 16 hours a day, 6 days a week (sometimes more) to make this full time income.  Not exactly what I had in mind when I thought of “working from home full time”, right!?

Long story short, SEO Networker totally blindsided me!  It was a total wake up call to my business.  I “thought” I had already learned the basics of backlinks, on-page optimization, social media, and more.  I knew what they were and I “thought” I knew how to implement them.  But I was at the first-grade-level compared to Ferny and Ray.

So as they went through everything, I listened very carefully.  I went through the slides and presentations.  I took notes, even on topics I thought I already knew…  And when I truly became a STUDENT of their program, and applied what I learned things REALLY took off.

And the cool part was, many of those things that may have worked in all of those other ebooks and courses that I spent THOUSANDS of dollars on before…  I actually went back and could understand them better.  OR I could actually connect the dots on the things that were left out because of what I learned in SEO Networker.

Less than 3 months into the program, I had created ONE blog that has made me as much as $7500+ in one single month.  Sure, that’s REALLY exciting when you go from a “dripping faucet” worth of traffic, leads, and sales… to a freaking FIRE HOSE!  But the thing that REALLY got me excited was that I could apply this to MULTIPLE other projects and programs I’ve been working on!

I’ve now hired my first full time employee and we’re in the works on about TWELVE different blogs.  All of them in different niches with different income streams.  And let’s put it this way: that first blog is based around a keyword phrase that only gets 100-300 searches per month.  These new blogs will be going after keyword terms that go from 1000-50,000 searches per month (and some that are even MORE).

SEO Networker isn’t just a training that will get you free leads from google and help you build your business on autopilot…  It’s a training that is so in-depth and goes over the REAL fundamentals of owning an online business – you can apply it to MULTIPLE businesses and MULTIPLE products.  The possibilities are truly ENDLESS.

So, why the heck are you still reading!?  Get your copy of SEO Networker here, and to find out how to get your bonuses visit here: SEO Networker Bonus.

And boy did that come back to bite me in the (you know what)!

I started looking in to the system more when I heard about the direct mail training. You see, I know pretty much all there is to know when it comes to internet marketing – and what I don’t know I can just pay someone else to do for me, no big deal. (Heck – I even have my own online network marketing bootcamp and course for God’s sake!)

But when it comes to offline marketing, I’m a clean slate.

Then I started getting feedback from other people on their postcard mailing campaigns. Put simply, they’re basically doubling whatever they spend on their ads. You spend $200 on postcards, you’ll get $400 back in orders. You spend $2000, you’ll get back $4000. Of course, like with any marketing, there are no guarantees… Could me more, could be a bit less. But hearing from several sources, they’ve all never lost money on their direct mail ads. Period.

Hmmm. I was intrigued.

So, I bought the system. I should be getting it in the mail in the next week or so. When I do, I’ll give you more detailing info on what’s included.

In the meantime, I logged in to the back office to check out more info on direct mail and other marketing techniques their team is using. And that’s when I noticed Brad Weinman’s name. Now, I don’t know if this is specific to just his team (which I’m sure I’m on if I got access) or the entire 1-2-3 Power System Team… but Brad knows his stuff.

He’s been an internet marketer and “attraction marketing” guru for quite a while. I trust his choice in programs, so I know I picked a good one.

As I start my own marketing, I’ll bring you up to date on what works… what doesn’t… And what’s going on behind the scenes with the 1-2-3 Power System.

I had been making a mistake with my sales funnel that has cost me THOUSANDS of dollars over the past year and a half online… I’ve been working the entire day to fix this over all of my websites.. what am I talking about? SORRY – I can’t tell you here.. That’s why I spent $500 on the course!!! DUH!

BUT.. If you send me an email at support [at] explode-my-business.com asking me what it was, I’ll tell you…

This is my way of testing you to see if you REALLY want to learn this stuff. Make sure the subject line says “top producer” and i’ll get back to you ASAP.

All the best,

Well, I haven’t posted on this blog in a while because I launched a new blog specific to a home based biz opp that I promote called Global Resorts Network.  Just click on that link to go to the blog…   The reason I’ve been working on it so hard is that I submitted it as my application for the SEO Networker Scholarship.  If you haven’t heard of this program, it’s about 2 former rocket scientists (no joke) turned network marketers who retired from their $80k+ per year jobs to build an online empire… and now they’re showing their students how to generate THOUSANDS of free leads for their businesses as well…

SEO Networker is about using the internet to generate as many leads as you want… not just for network marketing, but for ANY business…  Traffic turns into leads, leads into customers…  Well, its sounds easy… but they’re a LOT that goes into it…

To cut through all of the crap, I figured I’d just give you the link to my submission video for the scholarship…  There were 2 availale, and I won one of them…  Just to give you fair warning: 1.) the video is about 20 minutes long… and 2.) if you’ve never done work with websites or blogs or internet marketing…  This stuff is probably going to go right over your head…  If that’s the case, just look to the right of this blog post and you’ll see a spot to enter your name and email…  That’s where I go over the basics…  No cost to you – that’s right, a totally FREE 10 day training so you see how I got setup online and how to make money without getting uber-technical (like this video is…)  So put you info in to the right, and if you’re brave… watch the video:

After hearing about winning the SEO Networker Scholarship, my wife invited me into the kitchen to show me her test…  namely a pregnancy test… That was Friday, and this morning she went to the doctor and confirmed that we are having our first baby!

All of this going on, all while getting my wife’s family day care ready (good thing cuz we’ll be our own best customer – hehe), writing my second book (goal is to launch by summer), and marketing my business otherwise…

DAMN!  I LOVE BEING BUSY!  You just feel so productive and alive!  This is going to be a GREAT 2009!

But that’s just too simple of an explanation.  Let me give you the spark that ignites the fuel…  Imagine being able to send a text ad out to hundreds of thousands of people at once… for free.  Sure, we can pay for PPC ads, we can pay a low CPM on banner or other text ads.  But why pay for something when you can get TARGETED and IMMEDIATE traffic using Twitter.

You might also say, “We can even do email marketing.”  But the problem is: not all of your emails are being delivered.  No matter what your autoresponder says, it’s not 100% accurate.  And now with all of the spam in the marketplace, your email might get missed.

Not with Twitter.

I’ve just come across some GREAT resources to help you build your network marketing business with Twitter.  I’ll be posting them shortly, but your first goal is to sign up at Twitter for a free account…

Then go to my Twitter profile and click on ‘follow’.  Then you’ll be following my “tweets” and you’ll know exactly the MOMENT when I’ve uploaded the resources.

To Your Success,

Jonathan Budd has done it again.  FINALLY, new online network marketers don’t have to deal with the CRAP I had to deal with when trying to monetize their sales funnel.

Picture this… this is how you want the “flow” of your sales funnel to go…

1.) Person visits your site and enters their info into a form to get more info, a report, a newsletter, etc…

2.) Now that person is on your LIST (remember that ‘L’  word!.. LIST) and you can market to them until the end of time.

3.) They are now brought through a sales process where they’re given the opportunity to purchase a low-cost but HIGH VALUE product or service.  From there, over time as they get more and more value from your email messages, many of those people will upgrade to more products and services… or other products are services that will compliment the others, or what have you…

4.) Some of those people will probably even join your business (don’t count on a bunch, but SOME WILL!!)

Point being, this allows you to make tons of money off the people that DON’T even get in your business.  Now you’re not digging a hole of debts to pay for your marketing… You’re paying for it in REAL TIME, getting cash as you need it to reinvest in your marketing and business building expenses…

Nowadays CL has a lot in place to stop “spamming” marketers. You need to use phone verified accounts, auto-posting software, an ISP where you can change your IP address frequently, and randomize every bit of your ads. It’s a BIG PROJECT.

Here’s my fundamentals when setting up a brand new Craigslist marketing campaign.

1.) Posting in the small biz ads section should minimize the chances of your ad getting flagged, as biz opps can be listed there.

2.) Use a wireless aircard to change your IP address (I change it after EVERY post…)

3.) Use redirects to cloak your images and links. All of my small biz ads include 2 things and 2 things ONLY. A clickable image and (see #4)

4.) Use random hidden text. Most autoposters have some form of this built in. It becomes “hidden” when the color of the text is so close to white that it’s almost unnoticeable.

5.) Randomize your headlines with what’s called “tags” or “tokens”, depending on what softwhere you’re using. A “tag” is a phrase that you use in your ads that will randomly substitute another phrase in the text. It’s a simple way to make your ads more random.

6.) Use phone verified accounts. They can be purchased online for around $4-$6 a piece (generally). You CAN create them yourself, but it’s extremely time consuming so I recommend buying them instead.

When you start to learn these fundamentals, and then build upon them… you’ll be able to generate TONS of leads using Craigslist.
