Ok, I’ve got a confession. I’m a big cheater. I steal and copy and borrow from… well… the high income earners online. You see, I didn’t become a ‘guru’ (and I don’t plan to) but I started to succeed when I started to emulate the Big Boys of this industry.

I read as much as I could from the MLM Giants who were using all of the most modern techniques. I studied their sales pages, their courses, their articles, and more…

And when you are surfing around the internet, your bound to find the footprints of the great network marketers…

But you’re also going to see people marketing their business in the TOTALLY WRONG WAY!

Here’s what I came across that REALLY irked me… I was browsing forums and mlm blogs (a nice place to start sprinkling your domain name in your signatures) and I noticed sooo many newbies to this industry making themselves look, well, like NEWBIES!

Here’s what I mean…

If you leave a comment in a blog, you can set your name to link to a URL. Like, if you put ‘Adam Holland’ under the NAME field and ‘RevolutionProfits.com’ under the URL field… your comment may look like this:

>>Adam Holland

>>blah blah.. here’s my comment..

and if you click the name it will go to the URL… But what URL is the real question. Some people are using URL’s like:

fireyourboss.blogspot.com/forums/3994r/dhfjhwo/fkhkdf/optin.html

I mean, does that look even REMOTELY professional? First of all, it’s a free blog url… You mean to tell me that with your SIX FIGURE biz opp, you can’t scrape together $10 to buy a domain name? See what I mean?

If you’re going to be a multi-millionaire, you first need to present yourself as that professional… as someone who knows what they’re talking about… as a leader… Not as a cheapskate or ‘corner-cutter’…

INVEST in your business KNOWING that you’re going to make six figures… per MONTH… someday, and you WILL.

UPDATE: Immediately after writing this blog, I checked out my Google Reader for RSS updates on other blogs I like to read.  One of them is Shoemoney (an affiliate marketer who’s no-bs, downright honest commentary is something I love to read).  One of his latest posts is: 10 Reasons Why Your an Idiot

2) blogspot.com domain. If your trying to sell me something or convince me to work with you and your website is somethingspammy.blogspot.com odds are ive already hit delete. Its one thing to start out on a free host but even scoble eventually figured out he needed his own domain to quit looking like a amateur.

I love it when you’re on the same page as another marketer… :o)

If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur that’s been building your business for a while, you need balls… rock solid balls.  Challenges will ALWAYS be there and you have to face the fact that your work is NEVER done…  You will ALWAYS have more to do.  That’s just the essence of owning your own business…

When I got started in growing my business using internet marketing, I had a BIG learning curve… and it took my MONTHS to really ‘get it’.  And I think the reason is because I didn’t have the balls (at first) to TRY new techniques.  I had built my NM business using the old traditional (and unproductive) methods.

Fast forward almost 5 years, and I’m now just starting to realize just how much I’ve learned…  You start to see 4 and 5 (more…)

I’ve launched RevolutionProfits.com, and have now updated the training to include some videos.   The videos are being hosted on Youtube.  I did this for a few reasons…

1.) People that find the videos on youtube can link right back to the capture page.

2.) The people that go right into the training will watch the videos, and then they’ll raise the view rate of those videos and probably increase their ranking in youtube.

I’m also stepping up my article marketing and I’ll be going into 6th gear on my Craigslist marketing shortly as well…

I used to have my Reverse Funnel System site just redirect to the main RFS page.  What I found was that because it’s been around for over a year now, people have already seen that page all over the place.  They have already judged it one way or another.

So, now I’ve put a taste of personal branding in my approach.  I made the new Reverse Funnel System site with a branded new landing page complete w/ video and optin form.  As I start driving traffic to the page, I’ll post some results later.

So I’ve been busy creating my new personal development site, ChangeYourLifeAtWill.com, and I realized that writing the content for the site is taking WAY longer than expected.  So long, in fact, that it’s delaying me doing some more pressing issues that need to be taken care of.

I need to setup a new campaign for the Reverse Funnel System, and take care of my optin page and autoresponder messages.  I figured its more important to monetize your CURRENT websites rather than spreading yourself too thin and trying to market everything under the sun.

RFS is doing great, and the best part - it’s automated…  So it’s giving me some more free time to, well, get distracted with other crap!  If you’re in mlm and you’re marketing a high ticket item, trust me, just keep doing what you’re doing!  I was literally going to throw away $10K by not staying on track w/ my RFS goals and instead make $2K in other commissions (affiliate and other sales)…  Make the MAIN GOAL the MAIN GOAL!  Make sense?  Hope this helps.

If you don’t know what an ezine is, it’s pretty simple.  An ezine is a newsletter of some kind that someone signs up for… it usually is catered to a specific niche… cooking, web business, marketing, personal development…  There’s an ezine for pretty much anything…

Why should you care?

Because these ezines have lists of hundreds of thousands of targeted emails just waiting for you to tell them about your (more…)

Mike Dillard (the mastermind behind Magnetic Sponsoring and MLM Traffic Formula) is launching a new program called Building on a Budget.  If you’re wondering how you can develop a consistent 10-50 leads per day for little to NO cost, you need to check it out.  It’s a measly $50…  which is a small investment with a HUGE return…

What most newbies do when they start a business is burn up a list of friends and family, and when that doesn’t work they start buying leads.  $200 here, $500 there… and before they know it, they have little to no business and they’re broke.

This is NOT the mentality of a business owner… this is what we call a “lottery mentality”.  Some people just want to be able to put $200 in a slot machine and have 200 new distributors pop out the front…  And, unfortunately, that’s all that some people think that they need to do to build a business… SORRY!  WRONG!

When you don’t have alot of money when you’re just starting out, you should NOT spend it on leads.  You should spend it on DEVELOPING YOUR OWN SKILLS… skills that will produce FREE leads for you like clockwork…

So, if you don’t know how to do this yet… visit Building on a Budget now and start building those skills!

So, Myspace is a GREAT way to market a network marketing business… the only problem is- they don’t want you to. So, I decided to market my new self development website by networking with like-minded people on myspace. Unfortunately, not all of them were like-minded. After over 1200 friends added to my profile and alot of great response… my account was flagged and deleted…

Here’s the exact message I sent to my friend-requests:

subject: Just Sharing a little positivity…

body:

Hey, I’m connecting with people on myspace to help spread some positivity…

Yes, some people actually still read newspapers and magazines… they don’t get ALL of their info from the internet…

I just didn’t think that I’d be able to drive traffic to my websites using newspapers… it’s seemed like something that people just tried back in the late 90’s… when all of the tech start-ups went online and then came crashing down because they just didn’t understand marketing.

Then, after doing some research, I found out just how many people actually WILL see your ad (that includes your website URL) and will actually type that into their browsers to check your site out…  Check this out…

Here’s some stats that you need to consider…

Getting ads placed in papers with a total circulation of over 2.3 million… Yea, 2.3 million! … is only $210… yup, dirt cheap, (more…)

I recently added a new FREE 7 day training that you can sign up for on my main page.  This is NOT the same as my Explode My Business Free 7 Day Boot Camp Training…  The ‘EMB’ training is marketing-based (driving traffic, autoresponders, etc) and the Home Based Business training is a little more broad…

Meaning, it’s more of a ‘how to get started working from home’ handbook…  (not to be replaced with my new ebook…)

I needed to blog about this new training because it is NOT for the faint of heart…   If you want some inspirational, (more…)
