Importance of an Internet Marketing System

People often ask “What’s your secret?” … They want to know what the secret to success on the Internet is.

Truth be told, there IS no secret.

There isn’t an e-book or a system that you just join and all of a sudden BAM your business doubles/triples/quadruples. Trust me, I’ve read 100’s of e-books and had spent money on all those systems that are going to make your business grow… Not many of them do what they are supposed to, it’s mainly just hype and an overpricing for what you get.

Even if a system does 90% of the work… guess what, there’s still 10% more work to be done, and the 10% is the place where you will make the money, not the other 90%. The 10% of the work required by you is the most important aspect of success in this business.

Whichever business you are in, that is

10% of the work is personal follow-up and building relationships with the people that you connect with through the systems you use online. This is where you should be spending your time, not on learning systems and pay plans.

So, how can you succeed with this?

Don’t worry too much…

There is a “formula” for achieving success online using certain systems. It doesn’t take a Master’s Degree to learn and you definiitely don’t need to be an internet guru.

A beginner can learn to use the Internet for building their prospect base and attracting business builders to their primary business just as quickly as an experience networker.

That formula involves 3 very key elements that every network marketer must have.

1. Auto-Responder
2. Prospecting Tools
3. Advertising Resources

1. Auto-responder

This is one tool that is an absolute must. I feel it is one of the first tools that you need to learn to master when deciding to use the Internet to build your business.

I use several highly rated auto-responders but my auto-responder of choice for new people (and seasoned veterans) is Response Magic.

Why Response Magic?

1. It’s easy to use and setup
2. It’s simple to create a form to add to a webpage (such as a free blog)
3. It’s an effective contact management system

There is one thing all experienced marketers agree on … online or offline … you need a list! Without a list of prospects, your business is not going to grow … no matter what system you use.

The more prospects you generate, the more people will join your business. It is a simple fact.

To generate and manage a list, you need an auto-responder. With an auto-responder, you can setup pre-assigned letters that are sent to your list members automatically.

With your auto-responder, you can easily create and manage multiple lists (members, prospects, subscribers to an ezine). With your auto-responder, you can send a broadcast email to your lists at any time.

Response Magic is $17.95 a month (there is an annual membership available as well).

You can also become a ‘Partner’ of Response Magic and refer others to this great program through Platinum Synergy.

2. Prospecting Tools

Over time, you are going to collect a number of tools that you will use to educate your prospects as well as educate your new members.

Below is a list of the prospecting tools and training tools that we use to help our members duplicate the business and create growing incomes.

Online Presentations and Webinars

Streamline Magic – a prospecting and joint venture tool which creates a self funded system to generate paid leads for our Shaklee business. 15% of Streamline leads become paid Streamline members and 20% of Streamline paid members become Gold Ambassadors in Shaklee.

GoShaklee – a prospecting system designed to educate our prospects on Shaklee, the company, products, vision and mission. GoShaklee shows you how you can go green starting today by making smart choices in your home environment (note the use of a page with a form to capture your name and email address before sharing the GoShaklee information).

NOTE: Your company may offer different prospecting tools or you can use my report on using a Blog to create a lead capture page and build your prospecting list that way. Click here to get free copy of “My Wealthy Blog“, includes detailed setup instructions for Response Magic!

3. Advertising Resources

Your list of advertising resources is going to begin small and grow and you become familiar with the online environment.

a word of caution: if you are relatively new to Internet marketing or already overwhelmed, do yourself a favour … do not try to learn to use all the resources at once. We recommend selecting one resource, learning how to set it up and use it to advertise. Once you are comfortable using the system and it’s working for you, then and only then, look at adding another resource.

Here is a list of a few select resources that I recommend you begin with.

ViralURL - this resource is multi-purpose. It acts as a link “cloaker” to disguise your affiliate links, it acts as a link tracker so that you know how many people actually visited your website and as an upgraded member, ViralURL is a list mailer as well. You can email up to 30,000 random ViralURL members every month as an upgraded member! I recommend the One-Tim offer – it’s well worth the price of $197.00. I wrote a simple blog article that describes exactly how to setup and use ViralURL.

AdlandPro – this social network has over 70,000 very active business members. You will find a lot of potential partners for your business. Adlandpro also offers a great many specific advertising resources that you can use to attract Adlandpro members to your prospecting website. I recommend that you upgrade in AdlandPro at an “Adlander” member so that you can send targeted emails to the AdlandPro database. I wrote an article on how to invite AdlandPro members to your list at Adlandpro.

ListJoe – this active list allows you to email up to 30,000 members per month as an upgraded member. As a free member, you can send email once a week to a number of random members based on credits earned from reading ListJoe emails. Like ViralURL, ListJoe offers a one time promotion and I highly recommend it. $197 one time gives you the ability to email 3000 random members of ListJoe every 3 days forever!

Putting it all together

So, now that you have an autoresponder and you signed up for some advertising resources to advertise your “prospecting system”, how does it all work?

Step 1. Send an ad out using the resources you just joined. The ad you send will depend on the prospecting system you are using. Here is a current ad that I am sending to my online marketing lists:

SUBJECT: Will the madness never stop?

Will the madness ever stop with
this Streamline Magic?

I mean, seriously … I haven’t had
time to think about anything else
since I started promoting Streamline
Magic.

My phone is ringing off the hook.
People are signing up in my business.

And while I’m not one for hype, my
results speak for themselves.

5% of visitors become leads
15% of leads become paid members
20% upgrade to Gold

More Traffic = More Leads
More Leads = More Sales
More Sales = More Gold

What are you waiting for? Time
really is money where this is
concerned.

NOTE: please notice the use of a “ViralURL” link to track my website. When you click the link, you are taken to my Streamline website and ViralURL tells me someone clicked my link and visited my website. This is all explained in the blog article I wrote for ViralURL.

Step 2. Add your new prospects to your Auto-responder (if you are advertising your lead capture blog page, then your leads are automatically added to your auto-responder)

Step 3. Followup with your new prospects by phone (if they left their phone number, it’s always best to make a courtesy follow-up phone call to see if your prospect has any questions) or email.

Continue to advertise and follow-up … that is the key to building an online business … create prospects and follow-up to build good strong relationships.

Please post your questions below so we can all work together to help everyone understand the simplicity of this process.

Happy Marketing,

How Important Is A System in Network Marketing?

A Quick tip on Network Marketing and duplication…

If you don’t have duplication on your team, you might as well go get a job selling something else for commissions!

Network Marketing is about HELPING YOURSELF WORK YOUR WAY OUT OF A JOB…

not continuing to make sales to get a paycheck… if you wanted that, you would not have started reading about Network Marketing.

The only TRUE way to get yourself out of a job is if you have TRUE Duplication happening in your Team…

Say you have an organization that grows to 20-30 people, maybe even 50 people…. then all of a sudden its back down to 10-20 people…that’s when you know that you aren’t doing something right.

Even if you’ve only had an organization of 1-3 people and the most you had was 5-10, a SYSTEM will help you.

So, you start to RE-BUILD again…. getting your organization up to 65 people this time!! Woohoo you are on a roll. Kicking ass and taking names. Then, guess what happens again….

You’re back down to 10-20 people.

What is really happening with your organization is something that you don’t see immediately…

If this is happening to you, YOUR ORGANIZATION IS DEPENDENT ON YOU….

That’s not good, you don’t want a job I assume, or do you like having your dream trips interrupted by downline questions?

Kind of defeats the purpose of becoming a Network Marketer if you keep working to Build your Network and never get to relax and enjoy it……

but we all know that this is VERY tiring and time consuming.

2 Steps to Success In Network Marketing

Are you ready? I know it seems like there should be more….

but, there is only 2… Here they are

Step 1) Find a System that works…

Step 2) Automate that System…

Network Marketing really is THAT easy.

This way, your team can duplicate what you do without you being a part of it! Guess what, you just freed up some time. Now you can take the time to watch that movie you’ve been waiting to get to, or take that much needed Vacation

Once it’s automated, incorporate some tools that automate and replicate what you’ve created…..this allows others to do the same.

When that is all setup, you have free time and,

YOU are succeeding!! HOORAH!

not just a 2-3 level deep business, but one with 15,20,50 levels deep! Can you see yourself being there? Finally achieving those goals you set after watching or reading “The Secret” and having them sit there wondering how that much money would “manifest” , a SYSTEM can help you with manifesting…

You’ll even be able to teach someone who is BRAND NEW with Network Marketing to succeed by having complete automation of a system…

Ever wonder how McDonald’s can succeed with High School drop-outs running everything? It’s called a SYSTEM and Ray Kroc has SYSTEMS down better than anyone else in the Fast-Food business.

Now, I don’t have anything against High School drop-outs, but IF they can succeed in using a system, why can’t you?

Who says a College Student or even a College GRAD can’t be successful in Network Marketing?

Well, that’s where a SYSTEM comes into play. You CAN be successful and WILL be if you choose the right System.

When you use tools, you can be literally ANYWHERE on the Earth and run your business!

That is why Automation is the best thing for Network Marketing…..

Are you beginning to see the benefits of a system and of Automation?

If you can automate what works, then a system can’t be beat.

And we all know that Network Marketing can’t be beat for the lifestyle it creates..

Yours in Wealth,

PS- For everyone who doesn’t currently have a System, you can check out the System I currently use at My Website.

PPS- My team currently has been having a 15% Sign-up ratio for this system. For every 100 leads, 15 turn into upgrades and profits for the team.

Tired Of The Old School Network Marketing Techniques?

Are you tired of the old school network marketing techniques? You know the 3 foot rule, hanging flyers, bugging your family and friends, and holding hotel meetings.

I know that when I first joined my first network marketing company, I was told to use these same techniques. I was told to make a list of 100 people that I knew and basically call every one of them to ask and see if they would be interested in making some extra money.

I was only faced with questions I wasn’t able to answer, getting hung up on, and faced with nothing but rejection.

When I was officially shunned by everyone that I knew, all my upline told me to do was to go out and buy some opportunity leads.

This only led me to some more rejection and spending a bunch of money.

Now I was out of money, and had nothing to show for it.

Then just as I was going to give up, I found what I consider to be the “life saver” for my business.

This life saver I speak of was Mike Dillard’s 7 Day Free Video Boot Camp.

In these 7 free videos Mike explained how I could attract an endless stream of prospects to me ready to join and actually get paid to prospect.

These videos have really changed the way I do my business, and I think they can help you too.

Tax Benefits- Important Info For Having Your Own Business

Let’s talk about one of the top benefits of Owning Your Own Home-Based Business.

Tax Incentives.

Many people overlook this very important benefit but it can make a huge difference for you come Income Tax Day. Running a business out of your home can save you up to $5,000 or more on your taxes every year even if you don’t have success!

Here are just some of the things you can write off:

— Your business start-up costs
— A portion of your house payment or rent
— A portion of your utilities
— Car expenses
— Magazine subscriptions
— Child care
— Telephone bills
— Postal
— Travel
— Meals
— Office equipment (need a new computer?)
— Software
— Bank fees
— Your Internet service

The list goes on. Many of these things you have and pay for anyway. But now that you can operate a business from home, they become a tax write off.

You can even pay your kids to work for you and write it off. Now that’s a smart way to save for college.

Of course you’ll want to consult your accountant as laws vary from state to state, country to country and year to year, but I can promise you this: having a home-based business will help keep more of your hard earned money in your pocket instead of The Tax Man’s.

Seriously, we don’t understand why everyone doesn’t start a home business? It must just be a lack of education in this area.

Get educated, it’s worth a GUARANTEED $3,000 to $5,000 a year in tax savings or more…

Here are the tremendous tax advantages from our business and you can instantly have them too:

I realize it can be a big decision to start a home business. But, please don’t hesitate to email or call me if you have any questions or just want to discuss options.

Until next time.

Did you know that you can start getting all these tax advantages just by getting started for $29.95? Click here and get started or call me and we’ll help you get set up.

Your paying more taxes than necessary. Let’s change that starting today!
