Review of the Twitter Traffic Machine…

I’ve been working pretty hard on Twitter and building a great list of friends and followers on Twitter so I decided that it’s about time I start to review some of the top products out on Twitter right now. Today I bought The Twitter Traffic Machine and did a review of it. Here’s the review and I hope it can either save you money or help you in any way. Please leave feedback if it helps.

This is a series of videos, 6 to be exact and it walks you through how to use a few different useful tools for Twitter. There’s also a .pdf file that goes along with it.

These videos are in a .SWF file form, so for me I needed to download a SWF player in order to view the videos. But, that may be because I didn’t have a Flash movie player.

The first of these videos is based on setting up your Twitter profile and the importance of having a great picture as well as an awesome background for your profile and the power of your website. Shows what to fill in for your bio, etc. Pretty simple walkthrough.

The second video is based on the Tweetlater Automation tool which allows you to automatically DM your new followers. This is important because it allows you to automate your twitter marketing which is great for if you are away from your computer for whatever reason…say, you’re busy enjoying real life?

The third video is about Twollo. This is a great tool that allows you to automatically target people and it automatically follows them for you, this way you don’t have to spend hours trying to find people who are into your chosen niche.

Fourth video is all about creating content and where to get your content/automate it. Pretty cool features here and I didn’t know about a lot of what they teach in this video so I recommend spending time watching it.

Fifth video = FINDING PEOPLE! If you’re looking to build a large list of followers who are targeted to your niche, you need to find people….right? This works similar to Twollo but you can do this in real-time and it allows for you to take place in conversations that are happening right now on twitter. Pretty interesting and works great to find people so I recommend taking notes on this video.

Last video= using the affiliate program to raise money with this. My advice = this is over-saturated but its a great tutorial. So just a little suggestion is to take this advice and take it to A DIFFERENT NICHE!

Brilliant concepts and put across in a nice way. Good job to Gabe Strom and Bill Crosby for setting this up. Definitely worth the price tag even for the experienced Twitterer. If you want to find out where to get the Twitter Traffic Machine, head to this site

Posture has made all the difference…

So what’s this posture thing that network marketing trainers and gurus all talk about? Is it the way you stand? The way you sit? Does it mean that you should smile more and talk less, or should you talk more and smile less?

It all seems so confusing, yet I hear about it quite a bit in the Network Marketing Industry.

Posture can most simply be defined for Network Marketing as the way you present yourself either in person or on the phone with a prospect. The thing is, it’s actually a lot deeper than that and what I ever thought posture truly was.

Posture is the ability to control the conversation,  maybe you’ve noticed that when you talk to highly successful people they are asking YOU questions and through these questions you end up with an insight that you didn’t know of before. Posture is the strength of your belief in yourself, in your opportunity and in either your product or service. The stronger your belief is in something, the more posture you have and the better chance you will make the sale or get the new business partner.

The thing is, bad posture is actually evident on the phone or in person as well. People can sense the fact that you aren’t being genuine and that you really aren’t the Leader.

You may think “but Chris, I’ve only been involved in my company for 2 months, how in the world am I supposed to have posture with someone?”

The answer to this is actually sitting already inside of you, but you may not be aware of it.

Think about it this way, you have spent 5 years of your life training and learning proper technique for shooting a basketball or sewing a sweater. Picture that someone walks up to you and starts asking you about your shot or your sewing ability and tells you “You’re doing this wrong! You are not doing it the way you’re supposed to”

I bet that you’d stick up for yourself and show a form of posture, wouldn’t ya? I know that I sure would!

We have posture in many things in life, and it takes time to develop all of these things that you hold posture with, doesn’t it? It sure did with everything I’ve learned and am passionate about.

So how does this have anything to do with Network Marketing? Well, picture yourself on the phone with a prospect. The prospect is sort of questioning you about your business and your opportunity. They ask “So how much money are you making with this?” This is one of the most commonly asked questions that I get while talking to prospects.

You know what’s great about this question? It doesn’t have anything to do with how much you make, the only reason they ask is because they are scared, they want you to say “I’m not making anything, or I’m only making $100 a month” because then they can say to themselves that this doesn’t work. Or if you tell them “I’m making $20,000 a month” they probably will feel that they CAN’T do that and it will be counter-productive. The easiest answer for this and the one I always use is “If I told you how much I make, you probably wouldn’t believe me. It’s also not about how much I make, but about how much YOU will make.”

That is just a sample of how I use posture when speaking to my prospects. It’s simple and the great thing about it is that there are ways for you to cut down on your learning curve and you can even begin sponsoring new distributors within your first week of being involved with an opportunity.

The secret to gaining posture in your business is a course that has dramatically changed not only my life, but also my business.
