Blastoff Network – Another Scam or the Real Deal?
By · CommentsI’m not one to write long and drawn out reviews on the latest network marketing companies, so I’ll keep my review on Blastoff Network as brief as possible.
First, let me just say that this is NOTHING new! Amway/Quixtar has had this same “universal online shopping mall with multi-level payouts” concept for a while. Then other companies such as “My Power Mall” and “(crap there was another one, but I can’t remember..”) rolled out their versions. It’s a great concept too: “If I’m going to spend the money anyway, might as well get paid a bonus back on it, right!?”
And then comes the realization: if you’re going to purchase from the 3rd party story (Best Buy, Target, etc) through the shopping “gateway” (in this case Blastoff) there isn’t going to be much of a margin that you save. Usually payouts to “regular” online affiliates is 1-3%. Not bad, better than nothing right?! But now split that with 20 people in a downline?? Everyone’s fighting over 2 cents!?
Cutting to the chase – buying stuff from the 3rd party companies is NOT worth it. Instead of having the product when you need it (NOW), you’re paying extra for shipping (some of the time it’ll be free) only to get 2 cents back on the product. THAT is a waste.
Most companies that work this way have to have their own product line (Amway’s energy drinks, toilet paper, soap, laundry detergent, etc…) with a bigger profit margin so you can make more money. Now instead of cutting up 1-3% into small little bits, you’ve got more like 10-30% to work with – depending on the company/product/etc. But now you’ve got to get people to stop buying Crest and start buying “Blastoff toothpaste” or whatever. Again, good concept – but it’s not as easy as they describe.
The worst thing with these companies is you need to recruit a small country in order to make any REAL money with it. And it takes you between 5-20 years to do it ( :: cough -JOB- cough:: ).
Don’t get me wrong: I’m NOT against MLM! I’m not against Blastoff or Amway or whatever company. But you’ve got to understand that the fortunes are being made in more Direct Sales (or what many people call “GPT: Get Paid Today”)-type comp plans where you’re paid MUCH more early on in your business.
Example: when someone joins my primary business opportunity, I get paid $1000. And when they sponsor someone I get paid $1000. Do the math. How many people do I need to sponsor to make $5k/mo, and how big does your mlm business need to be to make that? Usually it’s the difference between 5 people and 150 people. Make sense?
Either way, I’m not here to sell you on a business – Blastoff Network or otherwise. What you 100% need to realize is that without LEADS, your mlm business is going nowhere.
To find out how I’ve sponsored as many as 81 people in 4 months and made over $22k in a single month – all on AUTOPILOT – check out my free training resource: Explode My Business FREE 7 Day Bootcamp. Enjoy!
SEO Networker Bonus (SEO Networker Review site is LIVE)
By · CommentsHey there, Adam Holland here… and I am flat-out-EXCITED to let you know about the pre-launch of SEO Networker. Why? Because this ONE TRAINING PROGRAM has set the foundation for my entire business this year. I’m going to tell you about this more in detail in one moment, but the first thing you absolutely MUST know about is the bonus I’m giving away to people who buy this course through my affiliate link.
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.
If you haven’t heard, my wife and I are expecting our first child in February (it’s a boy by the way!) – and I’ve been a total MANIAC working on my business so that we could BOTH work from home (check!), we could enjoy ourselves a little before the baby comes (check!), and we could buy our first home shortly after the birth (getting there!!)…
This quick story is going to show you exactly how in less than 2 years I went from an unemployed loser living off of his savings to a top producer in several programs and a leader and trainer in the online mlm world making a full time income from home…
I’m sure if you’re reading this right now, friend, you’re already in an mlm business. You’re probably working diligently to grow that business and create the life-style you want in life.
First of all ==> KEEP GOING!
Don’t let anyone deter you from your business.. BUT – It’s time you learned the absolute MOST effective way to build an income from home. ((notice I didn’t say ‘grow your m1m company’.. these are 2 totally different things!!))
You see, I’ve been there. I’ve wandered around the malls and college campuses for hours at a time trying to get someone’s phone number to add to my list of “prospects.”
I wasted ENORMOUS amounts of time going to hotel meetings, trying to coach people that just should NOT have been Read More→
MLM Sucks – The REAL MLM Scheme
By · CommentsMulti-level Marketing (MLM) as an industry has been debated over for several decades now. Some say MLM sucks, some say mlm is a scheme. Others say it’s a great way for the average Joe to make money…
And we could go over all of the stats about how 98%-99% of all people that signup in an MLM will never make money. We could talk about the Amway tools ripoff or how Monavie sells overpriced bottles of juice (neither of these things are my opinion, by the way… It’s just the crap all over the internet that gets debated).
Let’s put all of that stuff to the side for a moment and hone in on this one personal experience of mine that totally sums up MY “truth about MLM”… I’m talking about the secret that all of the big pins and heavy hitters won’t talk about.
One of my mentors mentioned this to me as to why he STOPPED growing his MLM business all together and started focusing on Direct Sales/GPT/Get-Paid-Today opportunities and passive income streams.
He said it was because he got tired of “babysitting adult children”.
Woah! That phrase hit me upside the head like a two-by-four. Babysitting adult children?
But he was right. You see, I didn’t believe him until I started growing a downline of several hundred people. Instead of spending most of your time golfing and on the beach like they show you in the lifestyle videos, you’re spending 8-10 hours a day coaching people, doing 3-way calls, training webinars, creating your own systems, and MANAGING all of it. It just becomes a better paying J-O-B, and you get the opportunity to call yourself a “business owner”… woopidy-doo!
You see, when the “price of entry” into your business is $50-$200, you’re going to sponsor a BUNCH of broke people with broke mentalities. That’s not to say you’ll get some sharp people too. But MLMs stay in business not because of the 100 leaders buying the products. The stay in business off of the thousands of SHEEP attending their hotel meetings, quarterly functions, and team meetings. Yea, I said it: SHEEP.
I know – I was one of them.
I was herded around for YEARS because I really didn’t have the GUTS to take the actions to build my business. See, I’m honest 
I was an “adult child”. A big baby.
The REAL problem, though, was that I just had no want to take those actions. I didn’t want to face that REJECTION that I got when I tried to get a phone number from someone I had just met at the mall so I could pitch them on my business later. I wasted SOOO much time “pretending” to build my business because I just hated talking to total strangers and get them excited about my business opportunity. Especially because they just weren’t the people I should have been talking to anyways.
Then, something happened. I came across some information that totally changed my life.
I figured out how people were actually getting calls from people that they had never met, and these people were BEGGING to become part of a business opportunity.
Yep, instead of wasting time at the malls you can actually attract people TO YOU.
In the last few months alone, I’ve been able to create over 700 leads for my business without leaving my house. In addition to that, my leads have PAID ME to be my leads! I’ve grown my business and created over $20,000 in profits over the past 2 months. This is WAY different than MLM.

World Ventures Buys Out Success University?
By · CommentsExcuse me, but what the hell? When I got registered with Success University it was because I valued the product and appreciated the concept of their business plan.
And now SU has “merged” with World Ventures? Now, it seems by Matt Morris’ letter to the company that it seems like SU was being bought out by World Ventures. They’re “merging” the compensation plans, and everyone who started with SU won’t see any additional monthly fees.
So I guess there’s one plus… And making more money is certainly a plus… HOWEVER…
Matt Morris states in his letter that the travel industry is the LARGEST industry in the world. Well, Matt I totally agree with you… But World Ventures may not have been the best company to choose.
You see, I shared Matt’s same excitement for the travel industry. I looked over several companies and decided which one to go with. And it was NOT World Ventures. Sorry. And definitely NOT YTB either.
(Good thing because YTB’s in some legal trouble in California w/ the Attorney General right now.. hmmm.)
So, now the company I thought I was promoting as a personal development company is losing the branding I was associating myself with, and I’d be in direct competition with my Global Resorts Network business.
This may be good news for SU reps, but not really good news for me..
Thoughts?
I’m an avid internet marketer, and I’ve seen probably 100 “programs” in the past year… And when I saw the 1-2-3 Power System I simply passed right on over it and “threw it on the pile” of the other home based business opportunities I’d checked out.
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.

UPDATE: WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO!
Real quick: I just got my copy of the Top Producer Formula in the mail today and I’m ripping through the content as quickly as possible. In just ONE chapter I read something that made my head explode…
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,

Britt World Wide Review – New Youtube Playlist
By · CommentsIf you’re looking for a brutally honest review of Britt World Wide (BWW) (which is an Amway Global/Quixtar Training System) I made a video review and posted it on Youtube.
The video was supposed to be 15-20 minutes and separated out into 2 separate videos… About 45 minutes later, I had realized that I had given you a totally open and honest idea of what kind of money you can spend trying to build an Amway business and why so many people lose money in network marketing in general.To give some comparative analysis, I compared BWW to Success University – which is an online personal development program comparative to what BWW is ‘trying’ to accomplish.
Enjoy!
