<h2>Attraction Marketing Secrets: How To Attract High-Quality Professionals To Your Business Team</h2>
<p>I hate to break it to you, but there really is no &#8217;secret&#8217; when it comes to attraction marketing.  It&#8217;s all about leading with VALUE.  Yes, you want to share your story.  Yes, you want to talk to people about your opportunity -otherwise they won&#8217;t know what company you&#8217;re promoting of course (haha).</p>
<p><strong>But the most absolutely POWERFUL action you can take is to just share what you know.</strong></p>
<p>The common misconception is that the info you need to share has to be so profound it knocks your prospect off their chair like a ONE-TWO punch from a heavyweight boxer.  This is NOT the case, but I can see why people get that impression.  One of the new teammates I mention in this video talks about how he purchased my <a href="http://thepersonalbrandingblueprint.com/?utm_source=ahblog&#038;utm_medium=text&#038;utm_campaign=attractionmarketingcasestudypost072310" target="_blank">Personal Branding Blueprint</a> and THEN he saw me as a leader and joined my GRN team.</p>
<p>What you don&#8217;t know is that that the FIRST version of that course took me around 250 hours to put together, and several thousand dollars to produce.  And now version 2.0 is out, 2.1 coming soon <img src='http://www.adam-holland.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>But here&#8217;s the deal: that is totally NOT duplicatable for a new person!  So how do you position yourself as a leader?  You just TAKE ACTION and TEACH WHAT YOU KNOW!</p>
<p><strong>Picture this:</strong> walk into a local stor and try to explain to the business owner how an autoresponder works.  Explain that &#8216;back in the day&#8217; businesses had to MAIL their advertisements and coupons and such to their prospective buyers.  &#8220;Imagine paying for 10,000 letters getting mailed!  At 35 cents each!  That&#8217;s $3500 for just ONE marketing campaign!  Now we can use an email marketing system to send those same messages right to our prospective customers!  How much money would that save you!?&#8221;</p>
<p>Get them to guess.  $1000/mo?  $500/mo?   How about it starts at $19/mo!  HOLY CRAP!  That&#8217;s amazing!  And you can email them several times in a month for the SAME PRICE!?  No way!!!</p>
<p>Something as simple and VITAL to our internet businesses as an &#8216;autoresponder&#8217; is a concept that will blow most people away.  So if you call that an &#8220;attraction marketing secret&#8221;, be my guest.</p>
<p>On a sidenote, too many people are under the impression that the recession is killing high ticket programs.  I for one think this is total BS.  *I&#8217;ve literally turned down my marketing budget right now* because I&#8217;ll be unveiling the new Revolution Profits system in the next week or so.  But still I&#8217;m getting high-quality prospects that already have experience in network marketing AND internet marketing, they&#8217;re professional that have money, and they&#8217;re FLOCKING to my door, credit card in hand, ready to <a href="http://grnwealthplan.com/?utm_source=text&#038;utm_medium=ahollandblog&#038;utm_campaign=attractionmarketingpost072310" target="_blank"><strong>join Global Resorts Network</strong></a>.. which by the way pays $1,000 commissions AND overrides to their reps.</p>
<p>How?</p>
<p>Because my marketing that IS running is TARGETING those demographics!  And THAT is an attraction marketing secret NO ONE is talking about right now.  But you&#8217;ll have to get on the team to see THAT training <img src='http://www.adam-holland.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>To Your Success,<br />

<p>NOTE: this business opportunity is NOT for everyone.  Startup and marketing coop investments will be around $4100+.  But this is your ONLY opportunity to work with me directly, get over $4400 in bonuses, and get a HORDE of leads for your business&#8230;  You&#8217;ve got to understand the power of LEVERAGE with this business opportunity ($1k commissions and $1k override commissions).</p>
<p>For more info on GRN, go here: <a href="http://grnwealthplan.com/report.html">http://grnwealthplan.com/report.html</a>.</p>

<p>==> <strong>I Will Only Entertain Phone Calls From <u>Paid Applicants</u></strong>.  This is the best way for me to weed out the tire kickers and non-action takers.  This might be news for you if you&#8217;ve been in mlm, but most people don&#8217;t make five figures their first month in an mlm company either <img src='http://www.adam-holland.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I few weeks ago I announced that <a href="http://www.adam-holland.com/blog/2010/05/17/mlm-launch-formula-bonus-jonathan-budd-and-mark-hoverson-have-done-it-again/" target="_blank">I&#8217;m giving away over $1481 in bonuses</a> to the people that get the MLM Launch Formula through <a href="http://mlmlaunchformula.com/?a=718131" target="_blank">my affiliate link</a>.</p>
<p>Well I&#8217;m not stopping there. <img src='http://www.adam-holland.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h2 align="center">I&#8217;m going to show you how you can get Jonathan Budd and Mark Hoverson to &#8220;pay&#8221; for your Traffic Geyser account for 6 months.</h2>
<p>If you&#8217;re not familiar with Traffic Geyser, you can go to their website but it&#8217;s not even available right now.  They have a Main Street Marketing program that goes for $1997 per year, and even that&#8217;s closed.  (That program teaches its students how to sell internet marketing services to local businesses for thousands of dollars &#8211; it&#8217;s REALLY sweet and is worth the price just for the website builder that&#8217;s in the back office.. but that&#8217;s besides the point.)</p>
<p>TG basically syndicates your content&#8230; times a billion&#8230; haha.  Okay, take a video.  Upload it to TG.  It sends it out to all of the video sharing sites, posts it to your blog(s), rips out the audio and submits that to podcast directories, and then bookmarks all of it.  It&#8217;s INSANE.</p>
<p>Why I&#8217;m telling you about it is I&#8217;m going to give the first 5 people that get the MLM Launch Formula through my affiliate link access to their own subaccounts on my Traffic Geyser account for SIX MONTHS.  This is a REAL $1000 value and is not to be taken lightly.</p>
<p>AND I&#8217;m going to be throwing in even MORE bonuses.  The previously announced bonuses as well as the new ones are listed below:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>NEW</strong>: First 2 people get 1 hour of 1-on-1 coaching with me personally – <strong>$500 value &#8211; <em>SOLD OUT!!</em></strong></li>
<li><strong>NEW</strong>: First 5 people get 6 months access to my Traffic Geyser/Main Street Marketing account – <strong>$997 value -<em> SOLD OUT!!</em></strong></li>
<li><strong>NEW</strong>: First 10 people get my Explode My Business Mastermind Marketing course – <strong>$247 value &#8211; <em>I&#8217;m Extending This Bonus To Everyone!</em></strong></li>
<li><strong>NEW</strong>: First 20 people get the &#8220;magic buy button&#8221; code and html template for their own video sales letter! &#8211;  <strong>$197 value</strong></li>
<li>4 Part FREE TRAFFIC Video Series – my covert techniques to steal free traffic from Google – <strong>$297 value</strong></li>
<li>4 Part LIVE WEBINAR Series – after June 9th I’ll be doing a 4 part webinar series to complement what is in the mlm launch formula, and add on my own opinions, commentary, and strategies – <strong>$297 value</strong></li>
<li>BEHIND-THE-SCENES: The Actual Recorded Webinars That Have Made Me 5 figures EACH – <strong>$497 value</strong></li>
<li>Psychology of the Sale: How To Get Your Prospect To Foam At The Mouth For What You’re Offering – <strong>$197 value</strong></li>
<li>OPTIONAL: first 2 months of my coaching club for $1. – <strong>$199.98 value</strong></li>
</ol>
<h2 align="center">This is up to $3400 in bonuses when you buy a freakin&#8217; $297 course! OMG!!  I&#8217;m NUTS!</h2>
<p>IMPORTANT!  If it&#8217;s not confirmed that you bought through <a href="http://mlmlaunchformula.com/?a=718131" target="_blank"><strong>my affiliate link</strong></a>, you get NO bonuses.  None of this &#8220;I thought I bought it through your link&#8221; BS.  Here&#8217;s how to ensure you get these bonuses:</p>
<ul>
<li>Clear your browser&#8217;s cookies.  If you don&#8217;t know how to do this, GOOGLE IT <img src='http://www.adam-holland.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li><a href="http://mlmlaunchformula.com/?a=718131" target="_blank">Use my affiliate link!</a></li>
<li>Use a BRAND NEW EMAIL when you optin!</li>
<li>forward your receipt to support (at) explode-my-business.com</li>
<p> when you&#8217;re purchase is complete!</li>
</ul>
<p>Let me know if you have any questions and I look forward you see you all DOMINATE your company using the launch formula.</p>
<p>Rock on!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got an email from Ann Sieg last week that I *really* needed to share (I hope she doesn&#8217;t mind)!  It&#8217;s not like it was a personal email &#8211; we&#8217;ve only met once in person and she&#8217;s SUPER nice <img src='http://www.adam-holland.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />     This was an email she sent to her list about an upcoming product launch.  I&#8217;m NOT re-posting this email to talk about the product launch.  I&#8217;m re-posting it because she discusses something that has been VITAL to my business.</p>
<p>Nope, it&#8217;s not just some tip or strategy on how to build my list or something.  This goes MUCH deeper than that.  This is something that can be a total paradigm shift for many people if they truly grasp it.  A total game-changer.</p>
<p>First let me share the email, and I&#8217;ll comment on it after.</p>
<blockquote><p>
Friend,</p>
<p>I’ve got a serious question that I want you to think<br />
about. </p>
<p>It may sound like a silly hypothetical question but<br />
it actually has huge implications about the way you<br />
perceive the very IDEA and PROMISE of the entire<br />
network marketing business model.  </p>
<p>Here it is:  If you won the powerball tomorrow (the current<br />
jackpot is at $220 million) would you take it all in<br />
one lump sum or would you take it in installments? </p>
<p>A lot of people opt for taking it in installments.  </p>
<p>But from a BUSINESS standpoint, and where you and I<br />
are really concerned, it’s ALWAYS better to have more<br />
cash upfront than it is to wait.  </p>
<p>If you took all the cash upfront you could turn around<br />
and invest it into assets that have REAL value and<br />
continue to appreciate.  </p>
<p>You could also use it to grow a business faster by<br />
putting it into advertising that generates more<br />
customers, and training and development that equips<br />
you with new skills. </p>
<p>And then there’s the “invisible tax” of inflation. </p>
<p>If you take the payments, who knows how much the<br />
money is actually going to be worth in 5 years&#8230;<br />
even 1 year from now after another gazillion dollars<br />
are printed and pumped into the economy.   </p>
<p>  <em>(( edit from Adam: if you don&#8217;t know what Ann&#8217;s talking about here, take about 30 mins and go through <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dmPchuXIXQ" target="_blank">this mini-documentary on our money system here</a>. ))</em></p>
<p>But MOST importantly&#8230; </p>
<p><strong>Having more cash upfront opens new doors and<br />
opportunities for you that may have never been<br />
available otherwise.</strong>  </p>
<p>These opportunities can in turn lead to a cascade<br />
of more profits and even more opportunities, the<br />
value of which is impossible to calculate.  </p>
<p>Now you could say that when you’re talking about<br />
$220 million it probably doesn’t matter.  </p>
<p>But when it comes to your business, differences<br />
in thinking and accounting like this do matter. </p>
<p>A lot.</p>
<p>I’d go as far as to say that putting a focus on<br />
getting paid NOW versus getting paid LATER is one of<br />
the single biggest deciding factors in the success<br />
of every major guru you currently know today.</p>
<p>====== email continues, but we&#8217;ll cut it short for the purposes of this blog post ======<br />
(( you can learn more about Ann Sieg here:<br />
http://therenegadenetworkmarketer.com/  ))
</p></blockquote>
<p>Okay, seriously sit back for a moment and relate this to your mlm business.</p>
<p>If I looked at my mlm business from many moons ago (like 6 years ago now) it looks almost archaic how we were &#8220;supposed&#8221; to make a bulk of our money.  And especially in this economy, people aren&#8217;t looking to make decent money after 5 years.  They NEED to make money NOW.</p>
<p>In my opinion, direct sales is a BIG part of why I work from home now.  Yes, affiliate marketing and my own products play a big part as well.  But if you notice one commonality of ALL of my main income streams: I get most of my profits NOW.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not living on some promise that &#8220;one day&#8221; I&#8217;ll have a big downline and can &#8220;retire&#8221;.</p>
<ol>
<li>The days of &#8220;downlines&#8221; are DEAD in my opinion.</li>
<li>&#8220;Retirement&#8221; is a FALSE IDOL.</li>
</ol>
<p>This is something that I really never thought of challenging when I was growing up because it&#8217;s so accepted.  &#8220;Retirement&#8221; was just something that you did after you worked for the same company for 40+ years.  You put in your time, got your pension, cashed in your social security, and traveled the US in your Winnebago.</p>
<p>Well, nowadays most people don&#8217;t stay with a company for more than a few years, there&#8217;s no such thing as a pension, if you&#8217;re banking on your 401k you probably now realize that you have no real control over that either, and if you&#8217;re in my age group social security won&#8217;t be there&#8230;  Not that I&#8221;d ever want to live on $1300/mo anyways&#8230;</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t picked up a copy of Timothy Ferris&#8217; book &#8220;The 4 Hour Work Week&#8221;, I suggest checking out <a href="http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/category/mini-retirements/" target="_blank">these posts on &#8220;mini-vacations&#8221; on his blog</a> first.  Read 5-10 posts and you&#8217;ll start to get the picture.</p>
<p>And as for the Winnebago, I&#8217;m making it a goal for myself to do just what one of my buddies balked at me for: I&#8217;m going to RV across the US with my wife and son (who will only be 1yrs old) next summer.  Earlier if possible, but the definite goal will be June 1st of 2011 (1 year from today).</p>
<p>After I re-work my New Years resolutions and timeline of goals from the beginning of this year (got a bunch done, and crossed off a few that just don&#8217;t seem that important anymore) I may even move that date up to as early as January 3rd 2011 (my wife&#8217;s bday).</p>
<p>So, going back to the email from Ann: make as much money as you can NOW and take &#8220;mini-vacations&#8221;.  Enjoy life as it happens instead of delaying it until you&#8217;re too old to really enjoy yourself.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever had someone laugh at your goals or put you down for wanting MORE out of life, comment below with your goals and let&#8217;s all chime in and support eachother.</p>
<p>Life is about uplifting our fellow man and empowering each other to live life to the fullest.  Let&#8217;s do it!</p>
<p>To Our Success,</p>
<p>Adam Holland</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay LiveSmart 360 reps &#8211; before you go and grab your bats and barbed wire &#8211; this is NOT an attack on your company.  And for those of you that found this site because you were researching LockYourSpot.com &#8211; I&#8217;ll do my best to give you a fair representation, but understand this is MY opinion.  You&#8217;re free to leave yours in the comments <img src='http://www.adam-holland.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Okay, so here&#8217;s the deal and why I&#8217;ve got a little chip on my shoulder about this &#8220;new company launch&#8221;.</p>
<h2 align="center">Why Most Will Fail With The LockYourSpot Opportunity</h2>
<p>Yes, I love the network marketing industry.  It&#8217;s given me the opportunity to be a stay-at-home dad, pay off a bunch of debt, and start living my life on MY terms.  But one of the BIG downsides to mlm is how some companies and/or mlm teams feel that they need to really HYPE people up on their business in order to sponsor them.</p>
<p>What I mean is this: when I first came across the site, I looked high and low for a detailed comp plan.  Sure there&#8217;s a BMW bonus and &#8216;million dollar match&#8217; bonus, but <b>what the heck do you make <em>day one</em></b>???  I understand that it&#8217;s a binary compensation plan (2 teams, a &#8220;left leg&#8221; and a &#8220;right leg&#8221;), but the website is kinda vague as per the payouts.  It says that for every 240 on the larger leg and 120 on the smaller leg (360 total &#8211; cute, it fits the company name&#8230; hehe) it will pay out $20.</p>
<p>So if I&#8217;ve got a business that&#8217;s got 36,000 (24,000 in one leg, and 12,000 in the other) I&#8217;m making a whopping $2k??  Seriously?</p>
<p>No offense, but mlm comp plans SUCK.  ( :: me dodging the thrown tomatoes and garbage :: )</p>
<p>I did NOT write this post with the intention of doing a &#8220;my company is better than yours&#8221; but I can produce $6k in business with my company and make $2k.  It&#8217;s called GPT, not MLM.  (Don&#8217;t get too ticked off when you read <a href="http://oneyearplan.net/revolutionprofits/?site=CoffeeHouseLetterPro?t=360blogpost" target="_blank">this report</a> btw&#8230;)</p>
<p>Just go to that above report and that will save me from ranting about low paying mlm comp plans on this blog &#8211; thanks! <img src='http://www.adam-holland.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>But, seriously &#8211; if most of the site is &#8220;Look at our lifestyle! Aren&#8217;t we cool?  Isn&#8217;t this the best mlm ever!?&#8221;&#8230; RUN.  Anyone can sell lifestyle &#8211; especially if they already had a big mlm organization that was made YEARS before this launch, but I&#8217;ll get to that in a few moments.</p>
<p>Okay, moving on&#8230;</p>
<h2 align="center">Big Red Flag: &#8220;Secure Your Spot&#8221;</h2>
<p>Having different options to get started at different levels is a GOOD IDEA.  This allows the more serious (and well funded) entrepreneurs to get started at a higher level and it allows the reps that sponsor them to make more money as well.  Good.</p>
<p>Then you&#8217;ve got more affordable options for those on a budget.  Also good.</p>
<p>But then they throw in the &#8220;Secure Your Spot For Only $29.99&#8243;.  Are you kidding me?</p>
<p>Just follow me here for a second.  When Mercedes charges $50k for a car, they are going to attract a certain kind of customer&#8230;  a high end one.</p>
<p>Just like Starbucks attracts a certain clientele, or Armani attracts a certain clientele&#8230;  so does Walmart and so does McDonalds.</p>
<p>The kind of person you attract when you offer a &#8220;lock your spot&#8221; position is NOT GOOD.  It&#8217;s the lazy, non-committed, broke, skeptics that won&#8217;t make a stinking DIME when they get started anyway.  But what good does this do?  It makes the main company another $29.99 per rep for NOTHING.  You get a username for that fee, that&#8217;s IT.</p>
<p>Okay, they&#8217;re going to say&#8230; &#8220;well, you get a website&#8221;.. or something along those lines to defend the cost.  Well, I&#8217;m sorry to tell you that web hosting is around $10/mo&#8230; and that goes for unlimited DOMAIN NAMES.  I&#8217;ve got 2 different hosting accounts and about 80 domain names registered, all spread between 6 different servers.  And I&#8217;m only at $45/mo for ALL of that.</p>
<p>Coming from a semi-computer-nerd, HOSTING IS CHEAP! <img src='http://www.adam-holland.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Unfortunately mlm companies like to do this so they can make money from their replicated websites, in addition to their products.  Not a big deal, but for $49/mo you could get a totally customizable site through the <a href="http://www.explode-my-business.com/mastermind.html" target="_blank">7 Figure Networker program</a>.  It will be more personalized to YOU, brand YOU to your prospect, and also allow you to use your own <a href="http://revolutionprofits.com/members/aweber/" target="_blank">autoresponder</a>.</p>
<p>(Don&#8217;t want to get into it right now, but you absolutely NEED to build a list of prospects and potential clients.  It is a long term asset that will pay you over and over again, even if no one gets on your team.  I just can&#8217;t imagine building a business anymore without one..)</p>
<p>So, back to the point at hand: don&#8217;t fall for a &#8220;get in on the ground level, new mlm prelaunch opportunity&#8221; crap.  I get pitched at least once per week on some &#8220;new deal&#8221;.</p>
<p>Which leads me to my next point:</p>
<h2 align="center">Don&#8217;t Call It The Biggest New Company Launch If It&#8217;s Not &#8216;Really&#8217; A New Company</h2>
<p>If you&#8217;re not familiar with Cyberwize, don&#8217;t worry about it &#8211; I&#8217;m not either.  But what I did notice was that the CEO of Cyberwize &#8211; Mark McCool &#8211; is also the CEO of LiveSmart 360.  Hmmm..</p>
<p>I had heard about Cyberwize before, so I went to cyberwize.com to do some research about it and guess what?  It redirected me to Lock Your Spot .com!</p>
<p>Hmmm.. So much for &#8220;new opportunity&#8221;, huh Mark?</p>
<p><strong>Now &#8211; before I let the cat outta the bag on this one, I understand where Mark is coming from here!</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>In order to have a long-term mlm company, you need to have new products coming out to keep people excited about the &#8220;new stuff&#8221; coming out in their business.</li>
<li>If you want to get alot of prelaunch buzz (aka HYPE), you use new websites and new names for old products &#8211; typically&#8230;</li>
</ol>
<p>But in this case Mark decided to go &#8220;Quixtar&#8221; on us&#8230;</p>
<p>Back in 1999, <a href="http://explode-my-business.com/blog/mlm-company-reviews/amway-quixtar-review/" target="_blank">Amway</a> got sick and tired of the dark cloud of controversy following them around all the time.  Sure, their international business has been pretty booming, but their domestic business here in North America has been stagnant for YEARS.</p>
<p>They wanted to come up with a new concept, rebrand themselves, and start anew.</p>
<p>Quixtar was born.  They changed the name, moved to an &#8220;internet sales portal&#8221; model, and transferred all of the Amway reps to Quixtar IBOs.</p>
<p>Then, around 10 years after the switch they SWITCHED BACK TO AMWAY.  (Actually Amway Global, but it&#8217;s all the same to me..)</p>
<p>Why?  It didn&#8217;t really help business at all.  In fact, my old upline had a pretty decent sized organization &#8211; several hundred people in 5 platinum and up organizations.  He was very close to hitting the Diamond level.  Then they switched to Quixtar, his entire group quit, and he started again brand new after being in the business for 12 years.  (Crap, huh!?)  Don&#8217;t worry, he&#8217;s doing pretty well for himself now regardless.  Took him another 10 years,  but he finally went Diamond. <img src='http://www.adam-holland.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif' alt=':o' class='wp-smiley' /> P</p>
<p>So, to get back to the point here&#8230;</p>
<p>==> When I started in &#8220;Quixtar&#8221;, they had a really good pitch about the growth of the company.  I&#8217;m an engineer by degree, a salesperson and trainer by trade, and a marketer by occupation.. so I love facts and figures.</p>
<p>My upline had told me about how there&#8217;s only been 2 companies to do $500+ Million their first year online.  #1 was Amazon.com  (now a huge *bleeping* company) and #2 Quixtar.com.  They had used the credibility of Amazon to say that when they experience the same growth that Amazon.com had, WE will be able to share in the profits.</p>
<p>I liked the idea of that.</p>
<p>They just left out one small tidbit of information: that although it was Quixtar&#8217;s first year in business, most every Amway rep that wanted to continue pursuing a business with the company just switched their business over.</p>
<p>They essentially took their entire sales organization from one company to another company, both under the same umbrella.</p>
<p>So what am I getting at here?</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t bring over 110,000 reps from one company to another and call it the &#8220;biggest and most successful mlm company pre-launch in history&#8221;.  Give me a freakin&#8217; break!<br />
</strong><br />
If the tv network ABC changed their name tomorrow to XYZ, what would you say if people were like &#8220;Wow!  XYZ just went from zero to a bagillion dollars overnight!  That company&#8217;s on the move, so buy your stock now and double your money by next week!&#8221;</p>
<p>C&#8217;mon, what would you say to that?  Obviously the company&#8217;s NOT on the move.  The just changed their name and just because the &#8220;new&#8221; stock went from 0 to $27 per share, doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;ll be $54 next week.</p>
<p>==> It&#8217;s the same thing w/ an mlm opportunity guys!</p>
<p>Now, again, don&#8217;t get me wrong here!  LiveSmart 360 could very well be a fantastic opportunity and have the most cutting edge products available in the industry.  But think hard to yourself if you&#8217;re just hyped up on the fact it&#8217;s &#8220;NEW&#8221; or &#8220;the comp plan&#8217;s the greatest thing in the world&#8221; or whatever kind of &#8220;fluff&#8221; you&#8217;ve been hearing&#8230;  or if you genuinely are in love with the company, the products, and your team.</p>
<p>Either way&#8230;</p>
<h2 align="center">No MLM Business Will Grow Without Leads</h2>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been in the industry for more than a month, chances are you&#8217;ve gone through your entire &#8216;warm list&#8217; of your family and friends.  You understand that if you&#8217;re not consistently building your own prospect list, your business will come to a screeching halt.</p>
<p>So, no matter if you&#8217;re promoting Live Smart 360 or any other mlm business, I *highly* suggest that you checkout the training I put together for you below.  It will show you how I create between 10-35 leads on a DAILY BASIS for my business on total autopilot..  <b>Fill out the form below!</b><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just got word that the guys are at it again.  Jonathan Budd and Mark Hoverson will announce to the world in the next week or so their next mastermind project: <strong><a href="http://mlmlaunchformula.com/?a=718131" target="_blank">MLM Launch Formula</a></strong>.<br />
What is it about?  What is an MLM Launch?  And why do we need a FORMULA?!?!<br />
<center><br />
<object width="400" height="224" ><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://www.facebook.com/v/561076950306" /><embed src="http://www.facebook.com/v/561076950306" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="224"></embed></object><br />
</center><br />
First all of, you absolutely need to understand that this does NOT necessarily mean you can only use these tactics for the launch of a <em>new</em> company.  Of course you CAN, but I hope that if you&#8217;re reading this you&#8217;re not planning on jumping from company to company every 6 months to make a living.  Sure, you might be able to rack up a pretty penny in a short period of time, but you will NEVER build a long-term income being an &#8216;mlm company nomad&#8217;..</p>
<p>That being said, ONE of the goals here is to be able to use the MLM LAUNCH FORMULA to perpetually &#8216;relaunch&#8217; your mlm to your list and have a windfall of results over and over again.  This has several benefits:</p>
<ol>
<li>You can have the same mlm company LONG TERM and build your income without having to start over every 6 months because the &#8220;hype&#8221; of a new opportunity ran out.</li>
<li>You can have an explosion of profits every time that you launch and can leverage that influx of profits to scale your marketing even BIGGER!</li>
<li>You have a MASSIVE group -this could be 5 people or 50 people or MORE &#8211; <u>all starting at the SAME TIME</u>.</li>
</ol>
<p>Now, STOP and THINK for just a moment about that last phrase.</p>
<p>When you use the <strong><a href="http://mlmlaunchformula.com/?a=718131" target="_blank">MLM Launch Formula</a></strong> properly, you will have a large group of people all starting at the SAME point in their business.</p>
<p>Back in my old school mlm days you&#8217;d have to trickle in 2-4 new reps personally per month if you were lucky.  Even with <a href="http://explode-my-business.com/" target="_blank">newer online mlm techniques</a> you might be able to sponsor 10 per month&#8230;  But chances are it&#8217;s sporadic.  Someone gets started today, another couple in 2 weeks, and then 6 at the end of the month.  Now you&#8217;ve got 10 people that you&#8217;ve got to train who are all starting at different times.</p>
<p>Sure, this is a BIG reason why automation is so powerful&#8230; But in order to have a really successful team people still need direction through one-on-one coaching.  And when you&#8217;ve got 10 people per month coming into your business all at different times, and you start doing that for a few months or a few years, it becomes chaos.</p>
<p>That being said, there&#8217;s 2 parts of the MLM Launch Formula that are VITAL about the formula &#8211; that aren&#8217;t even IN the formula: what happens BEFORE the launch, and what happens AFTER the launch.  And I have a very specific strategy when it comes to BOTH.</p>
<p>So I decided I&#8217;ll offer up several sweet bonuses ONLY for those that get this product through my affiliate link.<br />
Bonuses will include:</p>
<ul>
<li>4 Part FREE TRAFFIC Video Series &#8211; my covert techniques to steal free traffic from Google &#8211; $297 value</li>
<li>4 Part LIVE WEBINAR Series &#8211; after June 9th I&#8217;ll be doing a 4 part webinar series to complement what is in the mlm launch formula, and add on my own opinions, commentary, and strategies &#8211; $297 value</li>
<li>BEHIND-THE-SCENES: The Actual Recorded Webinars That Have Made Me 5 figures EACH &#8211; $497 value</li>
<li>Psychology of the Sale: How To Get Your Prospect To Foam At The Mouth For What You&#8217;re Offering &#8211; $197 value</li>
<li>OPTIONAL: first 2 months of my <a href="http://revolutionprofits.com/coachingclub/" target="_blank">coaching club</a> for $1.  &#8211; $193 value</li>
<li>&#8230;possibly even MORE bonuses TBD&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<h2 align="center">Total Estimated Value of Bonuses: $1481</h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So at this point if you know who Mike Dillard is, hopefully you&#8217;ve found out about the upcoming Magnetic Sponsoring Inc launch of the &#8220;What&#8217;s Working Now Short Cut System&#8221;.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve only heard the smallest insider knowledge about this and who&#8217;s involved, but let me be the first to say it&#8217;s going to be a sigh of relief when people get their hands on this.  I can easily tell that from what Mike Dillard&#8217;s mentioned in his prelaunch notification video.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been researching and studying internet marketing for a while, you&#8217;re probably on every guru&#8217;s list.  And you probably get about 100 emails per week about some new product launch, revolutionary new technique, or traffic-getting strategy.  Well, let me be the first to tell you &#8211; most of them are all rehashed stuff from 2 products before that one.  I know &#8211; I&#8217;ve bought most every one.</p>
<p>The thing that&#8217;s going to be different about this launch is that:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>There&#8217;s not going to be any duplicate strategies in the back office.</strong>  This is only an assumption, but I&#8217;ve seen a bunch of Mike&#8217;s launches and the products don&#8217;t have a ton of filler and hog-wash.  And he&#8217;s not going to have 3 different leaders talk all about the SAME THING.  Highly unlikely.</li>
<li><strong>You&#8217;re going to be getting the &#8220;cliff&#8217;s notes&#8221; of the best marketing strategies&#8230;</strong>  All from the top earners.  All click-by-click, simple directions.  (Just like how I like to teach  <img src='http://www.adam-holland.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .  This is why I&#8217;ve appreciated so many of <a href="http://explode-my-business.com/blog/mlm-leader-reviews/jonathan-budd-review/" target="_blank">Jonathan Budd</a>&#8217;s trainings&#8230; and this is also why my next course (The Personal Branding Blueprint) has 60+ tutorial videos.  Not just the &#8216;theory&#8217;.. the &#8216;implementation&#8217; too.</li>
<li><strong>All of the guru&#8217;s will be competing for your attention.</strong>  Not that I&#8217;m any sort of guru &#8211; I&#8217;m not &#8211; but if I was in the back office of that product I&#8217;d be sharing ALL of my best stuff.  I&#8217;d want to stand out as being the best high-value industry trainer in that project.  So, needless to say, my guess is all of the leaders will be giving their best stuff away.</li>
</ol>
<p>So, as of today (March 12th), Mike hasn&#8217;t told anyone the details yet.  We know it&#8217;s launching on the 22nd, but we don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s going to be a $297 video training, a $997 marketing course, or a monthly continuity program.  *As I get these details, I&#8217;ll update this blog post.*</p>
<p>But one thing is for certain: when I get the details (and the affiliate info of course) I&#8217;m going to be coming up with a slew of bonuses for everyone who gets it through my affiliate link.</p>
<p>It could be my <a href="http://explode-my-business.com/embcourse.html" target="_blank">$247 Explode My Business Mastermind Marketing Course</a>, or an advanced copy of my Personal Branding Blueprint (150+ page ebook, 60+ tutorial videos, and other bonuses including interviews with Ryan Dunn, Mark Hoverson, and David King), or if this is Mike&#8217;s next &#8220;uber-project&#8221; I&#8217;d even give away my library of training products I&#8217;ve created.</p>
<p>All in all, this is going to be a REALLY cool launch.</p>
<p>Be sure to get on my list (optin to the right) or keep checking back for notice of the bonuses.</p>
<p>**Comment below on what you think of the idea of the product so far!!**</p>
<p>Yours In Success,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://adamhollandrecommends.com/mlmzing" target="_blank">MLM Zing</a> is a new internet marketing/mlm product by Andrew Murray and Marie Torres.  I&#8217;ll be breaking down this product piece by piece so you&#8217;ll know what you&#8217;re getting and my opinions on each module.</p>
<p>First, let me just say &#8211; if you don&#8217;t already know me &#8211; I&#8217;m <a href="http://www.adam-holland.com/">Adam Holland</a> and I&#8217;ve been working full time from home for the past 2 years.  I&#8217;ve created 2 separate businesses online: my affiliate marketing business, and my direct sales/mlm business.  <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>BOTH of these full time incomes are as a direct result of learning MARKETING.</em></span> And THAT is what Andrew and Marie focus on in this training.</p>
<p>Understand that when you learn how to market, it almost doesn&#8217;t matter what business you&#8217;re in.  Why?  Because every business requires new leads and prospects to survive.  And <strong>when you can command a flood of new visitors to your website (and thus more leads) you can grow virtually ANY business</strong>.</p>
<p>With that in mind, here&#8217;s what&#8217;s included in MLM Zing:<span id="more-159"></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Your Lead Funnel</li>
<li>Keyword Research</li>
<li>SEO</li>
<li>PPC</li>
<li>Video Marketing</li>
<li>Article Marketing</li>
<li>Press Releases/Special Reports</li>
<li>Social Media</li>
<li>Advanced Link Building</li>
</ol>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s <a href="http://explode-my-business.com/blog/mlm-leader-reviews/jonathan-budd-review/" target="_blank">Jonathan Budd</a> and Mark Hoverson &#8211; both of these guys primarily built their 7 figure business on PPC and video.</p>
<p>My point: there&#8217;s a freakin&#8217; TON of info in MLM Zing, and you do NOT want to take it lightly &#8211; 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.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Your Lead Funnel</strong></span> &#8211; this is mandatory.  No funnel, no money.  Pretty simple.  Without a sales process in place, you&#8217;re just guessing.  You &#8220;hope&#8221; to get people to your website and &#8220;hope&#8221; that someone eventually buys.  That just doesn&#8217;t cut it.  This first module shows you how to set this up and how to make it as effective as possible.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Keyword Research</span></strong> &#8211; 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&#8217;t so competitive that you can&#8217;t get the traffic from them.  One of the tools that I use to do this is <a href="http://adamhollandrecommends.com/internet-marketing-tools/micro-niche-finder" target="_blank">Micro Niche Finder</a>, although most of their trainings involve another program called Market Samurai.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>SEO</strong></span> &#8211; 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 <a href="http://adamhollandrecommends.com/seonetworker" target="_blank">SEO Networker</a>.  If the $1300 for that program is out of your reach, stick w/ this training.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>PPC</strong></span> &#8211; great module on pay-per-click advertising.  Now, of course I&#8217;ve bought PPC courses from $500 and up &#8211; and they&#8217;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 &#8220;cliff&#8217;s notes&#8221; to PPC.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Video Marketing</strong></span> &#8211; again, some basic strategies as well as some new ones that I didn&#8217;t even know about.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Article Marketing</strong></span> &#8211; 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.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>PR/reports</strong></span> &#8211; great stuff, I&#8217;ve just don&#8217;t personally think that you can build a business on Press Releases.  It&#8217;s great to get a wave of traffic at one time, but I prefer to build my business on more long-term strategies.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Social Media</strong></span> &#8211; this is just one of those strategies that I don&#8217;t use, and that&#8217;s probably a BAD idea.  I&#8217;ve got a maxed out Facebook friends list and a Twitter following of 2800 people.  And I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve made some money from my Facebook list, but social media in general isn&#8217;t something I&#8217;ve spent a bunch of time on.  There&#8217;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.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Link Building</strong></span> &#8211; between this and SEO, I&#8217;ve been able to get a crazy amount of traffic across several niches.  And when I browsed through this module, I&#8217;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.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>MY REVIEW ON THE ENTIRE PROGRAM AS A WHOLE</strong></span>:</p>
<p>All of these tactics are very relevant to today&#8217;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 &#8211; from understanding the basic terms, to how to use research tools, and the thought-process behind everything.</p>
<p>The only drawback that I see is a lack of case studies and VERY specific examples.</p>
<p>What I mean by this is it&#8217;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&#8230;  A to Z.</p>
<p>Just simply mentioning something doesn&#8217;t mean that the viewer will know what you&#8217;re talking about.  So this high level of depth is missing from this course.  But this is why it&#8217;s also dirt cheap for an internet marketing course as in depth as it is.   I know that sounds contradictory, but let me explain.</p>
<p>I&#8217;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.</p>
<p>As you start to learn these forms of marketing, you&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong though &#8211; there IS a bunch of stuff in this course that is intermediate.  And this course DOES include everything that you&#8217;ll need to go from zero to 6 figures in my opinion.  But as you focus on these different areas you&#8217;ll understand how you want to &#8220;fill in the gaps&#8221; in the &#8220;cliffs notes&#8221; that is this course.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I give MLM Zing an 8/10 and a MUST BUY if you&#8217;re a total newbie to internet marketing.</strong></p>
