So I’ve been a little busy working these days and things are crankin’ in our business…

Problem is I’ve let myself get completely out of shape lately. Keeping everything in balance is always kind of a juggling act, but I’ve reached my breaking point and decided enough is enough. I have decided to commit to a 90 day plan of action to get my butt back in shape.

Yesterday, I got my Newfoundland, Dakota, and hit the trail to the foothills across the street. Things were going pretty well…until the trail started going UP. Uh…yeah, that lasted about two minutes.

I ran for a total of about 7 minutes before I had to stop, which is pretty pathetic considering I ran a marathon a few years ago. But it is what it is. That’s where I am now.

Now it’s time to focus on constant improvement. I don’t have to go out and run 6 miles tomorrow, I just need to get a little better each week, and before I know it I’ll be back in business. This concept of constant improvement has served me well over the years in many areas of my life, including my business.

I think it is something that people who are new to internet network marketing can definitely benefit from implementing. It seems like a lot of people get started on the internet and see all of the people touting how they get 100 leads a day and sponsor people in their sleep, and they mistakenly think that they are supposed to be in “marathon shape” for their business right away, even though they are just getting started.

So many people seem to set really high expectations of what they should be making in their business their first or second month online even though they haven’t done the things they need to do to be able to perform at that high of a level.

If you’ve fallen prey to this belief that you should be raking in the dough straight out of the gate, don’t get discouraged. Just realize that results like that happen by starting where you are right NOW and then committing to making small improvements each week. Over time your tiny improvements will snowball into an avalanche of success…it just takes a little time to get the ball rollin’.

Sometimes you have to get off to a slow start to eventually go fast. If you’re ready to start making some improvements in your business, make sure you pick up a copy of my Attraction Marketing Crash Course and leave a comment below if you’ve had success “starting slow…to go fast”.

To your success,

PPC Supremacy Launch – August 31st, 2010: Every once in awhile a course or event rolls around, and you’ll start to hear a lot of buzz around the web about how great it is going to be. And if you’re completely content with where you are in your business currently, or too “busy” doing ineffective things you may just ignore what you’re hearing and keep on truckin’ down the wrong, or at least the long, road. Yes,
I’ll admit that I’m guilty of having done this once or twice myself.

Well, if you’ve been doing any marketing on the Internet during the past couple of months, I’m sure you’ve at least heard of the incredible free report called the Google Switch written by Jim Yaghi and David Schwind. If not, I suggest you pick up a copy and start implementing the “solid gold” info they’re giving away.

So what’s the deal with this thing anyways? If it’s so great why are they giving it away? This bad ass report is part of the pre-launch for their upcoming course, PPC Supremacy. In addition to the Google Switch, these PPC masters are giving away a free series of pre-launch videos that are so packed with awesome content that they have stated that their intent is to teach you how to generate 100 leads a day. Uh…did I mention these were free videos? I’m guessing you’ve probably shelled out some of your cold hard cash for ppc courses that weren’t teaching you how to do that. You can check out the free PPC Supremacy launch videos here.

I’ll go ahead and let you know the first video is about Twitter PPC. Twitter PPC? Yep, that’s what I said…and all I can tell you is this stuff works. Here’s a little screenshot of my wife, Natasha, rockin’ out on Better Networker’s Popular Today board and more importantly generating leads and sales for our business (oh yeah, that’s Jim up there too with the wild hair.)!

If the next six videos deliver like the first, I can’t even imagine what they’re going to be revealing in PPC Supremacy, but I’m telling you right now…this is one of those “game changer” courses that could literally completely overhaul your business. Imagine how different your business would be with 100 leads a day and then consider the fact that Jim and David are going to be revealing exactly how they are generating 1,000+ leads a day with their PPC campaigns.

PPC Supremacy will be launching on August 31st and will only be open for 24 hours. Since we are among the few affiliates promoting this launch, we’ll be offering some sweet bonuses for you…so enter your e-mail below to get on our bonus notification list!

Today I want to give you a recipe for getting results in your internet network
marketing business ASAP.

This post will save you massive time on your learning curve if you’re just getting
started in your online business. If you have been struggling for a while trying to
figure out to have success, then this info will be like finding a high-powered flashlight on
the ground after wandering around in a dark cave for a week…if you implement it.

Here are the two main reasons I think people miss the boat when it comes to building
a successful business on the Internet:

1. They think that the solution they need is too difficult or expensive to implement right now
because they don’t have access to the right information.

2. They take in powerful new information that would help them succeed, but they don’t
match the influx of information with an equal amount of output (ie. ACTION) and then begin suffering from the dreaded info overload.

1. When you generate a lead online it should be branded to you. Not your opportunity’s replicated site. Not the author of a popular training course. YOUR solution to a problem that they are likely having.

Why? Because you don’t want to generate a lead and then say, “hey, check out the information from this other network marketer who is much more successful than I am.” You want your prospects to get to know like and trust you, not some guru that will distract their attention away from you and your business.

You are what makes your offer unique. Ideally, you want to start offering your own free “product” as a giveaway as soon as possible.

You shouldn’t try to fake it until you make when you are putting this information together. The point is not to act like you’ve already succeeded on a massive scale if you haven’t, it is just to share concepts that are proven to work.

If you have studied the most successful leaders in the industry and put together a report or video series on what they do to succeed, then that is valuable information that will benefit your prospects. Once you have created a track record of success, you can then put together a product to sell that shares with your prospects how you did it.

If you are ready to create a product to give away or sell, you will need to hire a graphic designer to create a product image for you to market. We offer this service to our Lead System Pro team members for just $47. For more information, check out my Attraction Marketing Crash Course here and send me an e-mail letting me know that you are interested in this special offer. You may also want to check out elance.com.

2. You will want to construct your marketing funnel, so that people are introduced to you and your primary offer through your video series, e-book, or newsletter before you start offering them additional options. Ideally, you want to make sure you are focusing on promoting your brand for the first several messages, then you can introduce them to additional services or affiliate products that you may want to offer. For more information about building a profitable funnel, check out my wife’s recent post about Marketing Funnel Mastery.

At this point in your funnel it can be powerful to use a customizable attraction marketing system that provides incredible training, the opportunity for mulitple streams of income and a way to introduce your primary opportunity to your prospects.

3. Once your prospects have progressed through your funnel and have been introduced to your personally branded system and ultimately your primary business, you can then introduce them to useful affiliate products that you may have to offer. You want to make sure these products are offered on the backend of your funnel, after your propects have been thoroughly exposed to your brand.

There you have it. Once you have put together a funnel like this, it’s time to start driving traffic and then building relationships with your prospects by providing them with valuable solutions to help them succeed. Get started today with my free Attraction Marketing Crash Course.

For some, it was a daunting task to be up before 9am and secure a perfect seat in the meeting rooms of the Venetian Hotel. Still, many people who had just flown into Las Vegas made it in time for registration and secured some of the best seats on Friday, July 9, 2010. The event was kicked off by Jimmy Davis as emcee and the weekend contained an inspiring panel of successful entrepreneurs who put on their “teacher hats” for the weekend.

From then on, it was a nonstop buffet of learning and value for small business owners and Internet entrepreneurs. On Saturday, the audience was wowed by presentations by Mike Dillard, Todd Falcone, and Jonathan Budd, who are some of the most successful minds in Internet marketing.

During lunch and breakout sessions, we met amazing new people who all had something to share about their own business-building journeys. Some were eager to start implementing the advice they got from the presenters, but there was still one more day of learning to go to gather even more information from folks like Jim Yaghi, David Schwind, Katie Freiling, Joe O’Day, Adam Holland, and the hosts of the event, Raymond Fong and Fernando Ceballos.

Sunday definitely had people moving their pens like wildfire over their notes (I’m pretty sure I saw smoke coming off of Natasha’s page…which meant I didn’t have to take any notes!), hoping not to miss a single piece of information. I sat back and absorbed everything being offered in various topics ranging from PPC, Search Engine Optimization, Blogging, and Back Linking. And if you think this all sounds nerdy, you’re probably right. Some of these guys were formerly rocket scientists, and that’s not an exaggeration.

Still, they’ve made it clear that we don’t all have to hold the same degrees or be super geniuses of some kind. They’ve offered the keys to success and made them easy to learn and easy to use. No matter what your background, there are No Excuses for failure. They wanted to make sure everyone took that lesson with them, that no matter where they come from or where they are going, no excuses should stand in the way of your success.

If you were at the No Excuses Summit, leave a comment below and let us know your thoughts on this great event.

Natasha and I had a great time at the Marketing Funnel Mastery event on June 26. The things we’ve learned from Mike Klingler in this course are so powerful, that we have put everything else in our business on hold in order to get our new funnel in place.

If you missed the event in Portland I highly recommend that you check out one of the upcoming events that will be held in different cities around the country.

This weekend we are heading to Vegas for the No Excuses Summit, and then in August I’m heading to another event featuring Mark Hoverson and Ann Sieg in San Francisco. I’ve got some great things to share soon, so stay tuned.

In this video I compare two articles I’ve written and share the changes that I made in my article writing strategy to improve my views and click through rates. Click here to view the video.

I was at home this weekend working on the final touches to my upcoming product launch when my doorbell rang. It was a little annoying because I was right in the middle of something, but I hopped up and went to the door. When I opened it I looked down and saw a little boy, who was probably about 6 or 7 years old, looking up at me.

As he held up two worn out looking plastic bags filled with rocks, he asked me if I would like to buy one of his rocks. Then he made me an irresistible offer…I could buy one for either $.25 or $1. Well, despite the fact that I was not in the market for a rock as well as the fact that the “product” in this case was not even particularly special, my wife scrounged up some change and we told him to pick out one he thought was worth $.75.

Now I realize some of you diehard networkers would have tried to recruit this young entrepreneur into your business but we just happily took our new rock and got back to work. After he left we couldn’t help but wonder how long it will take him to become a millionaire…

When I thought about why I was happy I had purchased something that I wasn’t in the market to buy, wasn’t even that great and was presented to me while I was busy doing something and didn’t want to be interrupted, it made me think about one of the key concepts that I have learned over the past couple of years in network marketing.

It’s really not about your product or business opportunity, or their incredible features and benefits…sure, it helps if they are at least reasonably good. But really, in order to even get to the market these days that is pretty much a given.

People ultimately buy from you or join your opportunity because of the personal relationship you have established with them, the connection you have made with them or the desire they have to do business with you for whatever reason (I bought a rock I didn’t want or need because I wanted to help out an ambitious young entrepreneur).

In my last video I shared how you can save some time setting up new pay per click campaigns. In this video I show how I generated leads for $.17 each this month in one of my pay per click campaigns.

There is something building a buzz around the web this week. It’s the launch of Katie Freiling’s new content syndication community called the The Unified Tribe. Doors open today at 9 AM PST, and Katie is offering some sweet bonuses for those who move quickly on her special launch offer. Based on the incredible content that she has been putting out during the pre-launch of The Unified Tribe, it looks like this community will be a great way to help you promote your content and build your business to new levels of success.

Quite simply, content syndication is a way for you to increase the reach of your valuable written or video content. Imagine that you write a blog post and decide that you want to promote your new piece of content to all of your social media connections around the web on sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Stumble Upon, and Digg.

Now let’s suppose that you have a fairly good sized sphere of influence on these sites and you’re total number of connections equals 10,000 people on all of the sites combined. When you send out messages to promote your content, you have a potential audience of 10,000 people. Not bad, but consider the possibility of forming a “tribe” of 5 like-minded people who all agree to syndicate the promotion of each other’s content.

If each member in the tribe has 10,000 social media connections, every time the group promotes your content it would have a potential audience of 50,000 instead of just 10,000. That is HUGE, and the numbers don’t have to stop there. The Unified Tribe offers you a chance to form relationships with other members of the community and be able to greatly expand the reach of your content. For more information on this powerful concept, check out the free report available by clicking here.
