Stop Pitching your Program.... Try this instead.

Become the expert.

We already know that most people 97% or so will fail in their businesses.

What is the difference of the 3%?

I certainly don't have all the answers but here are a few things that I have noticed.

They usually speak with authority. They are talking about something that they have already done, and can show you the way.

They are more concerned with you, your character, and your development, rather than getting you into the next great "program"

They are not afraid to so no to the wrong person, or the wrong timing.

In order for you to become the expert here are a couple of suggestions.

Stop "pitching" your program. Nobody really cares how great it is, until they know how much you care.

Spend time in conversation with people. Get to know them. Tell them about yourself. If you can't do that one on one, do it over the internet.

Start a blog about something that you are passionate about. Write and submit articles on the same topics.

Share a piece of yourself in the things that you do.

Realize that there is no free lunch... You just like everyone else is going to have to pay your own way, with experience, money, time and effort.

Don't tell anyone else that it is any different!!

Stop Pitching... Start Inspiring.

#1 on Google Already!!!

Couldn't believe it... I was just goofing around today, and I typed in Keith's MLM in google, and I came up #1.

Wow.. This stuff really works.

I also came up under Keith's online at #4.

Onward and upward.

Keith

This is the plan of action

So I sort of have my marching orders on what to do day by day.

1. Make 5 article submissions
2. Make 5 forum posts
3. Add friends and email on adland pro and Direct Matches

I have already gotten a couple of calls from people asking me about my business. Usually they are trying to sell me their business, but at least they are calling me instead of me calling them.

It's pretty interesting but you can turn the prospecting machine upside down!!

I am also continuing to surf with ts25 and traffic swarm. I am up to about 5000 credits with
traffic swarm.

Ts25 is very interesting also. I like it better than traffic swarm just because it is a little more fun. There are bonuses, and your joined with a team...

So onward and upward. For some reason I got no hits on my website yesterday, and still no sign ups...

My goals over the next 20-30 days are to get these products.

1. Site submitter... get my site submitted professionally
2. Article submitter... Automate my article submission process
3. Forum submitter... Automate the forum submission process.

But, I have spent so much money so far, I'd like to see some sort of return first!!

GDI... I didn't even realize the power of this one...

Friends,

One of the things that I signed up for as part of my Pay it Forward 4 Profits mentoring/affiliate program is a company called GDI.

As I may have mentioned before, I sort of joined PAY it forward with that child like faith that you hear about sometimes.

But after really taking the time to look at this company

Global Domains International

I was pretty impressed. I think the internet will be around for a long time don't you?

Many people that didn't get the Domain name that they wanted now have a 2nd chance.

Maybe you wanted to get your name as a domain your name as a domain. Now you can!!

Also for only 10 bucks a month people get a website(the can customize) 10 email addresses and the domain name.

This creates a long term residual source of income, because people will keep their domain names and email addresses!!

Anyway, check it out if your interested. Click link above.

Multiple streams of income is the key!!

Traffic Exchanges

Ok,

So Today I thought I would tell you what I have learned about traffic exchanges so far.

Traffic exchanges seem to be pretty cool if you have some time to surf.

The basic idea behind them is that you surf looking at other people's websites, and then in exchange, they look at yours.

I have to admit that I have been spending an hour or two (or more) suring and gaining credits.

One thing about these traffic exchanges is that YOU MUST UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY.

The amount of "credits" that you get is so much more worth it when you have upgraded.

I wouldn't even bother with the free packages.. not even worth it.

The two that I have been working with over the last week or so have been traffic Swarm and

ts25

Here is what I have learned about them.

Traffic Swarm is cool because it is very easy to use. I upgraded right away because you get a ton of extra goodies for doing the same thing.

You just set up the surfing page to come up automatically as a tab, whenever you open internet explorer (firefox works also)

I'm not sure why, but the TS25 site created alot more traffic for me a lot quicker. I immediately upgraded with that one also, and after 2 days I got an additional 600 hits on my website from them, (325 unique)

Also, I think it's important to point out that there is a difference between a "view" and a "click"

Just in case you don't know a view is when someone looks at your page, a click is when someone actually clicks on your page. A click is obviously a lot better than a view. Doesn't mean that they are going to buy anything or sign up for anything, but at least they took a look at your site. That is one step closer to actually joining you!!

I used some of my upgraded "bonus" credits with t25 to do banner ads. That was a waste. I wouldn't encourage you to do that.

As of right now I have about 14000 banner impresssions, and about 4 clicks.

I currently dedicate about 1/2-2 hours a day clicking and surfing... It's a good start to building your own business.

Oh and one other thing...

As I am surfing every once in a while I will actually look at other peoples offers. Although there is a lot of junk out there being promoted, there are some good opportunities as well that may "fit in" with what you are currently doing.

Also, you can learn from their websites as well, and implement some of thier strategies. After all it was interesting enough for you to take a look right?

PLEASE POST YOUR COMMENTS, QUESTIONS and CONCERNS!!

Wow... So now I've paid all my affiliate dues

Ok,

I have been around long enough that to be successful in any business you need to spend some money. I mean lets face it, what can you really do for free anyway?

Usually when you are trying to do something for free online, you are just attracting the other people online that are trying to do something for free also right?

How can their be any profit in free?

I know Iknow, there are programs that ...blah blah bla... Please don't post me about about how great your free program is...

Point being, today I signed up for 5 affiliate programs that are all part of the Pay it Forward 4 Profit systems. I upgraded in all of them so now I am set.

My sponsor said that I broke a record in getting that done.

I told him that I am serious about making this work, what next.

So far I have spent about $400 with a monthly committment of 150.00. I am ok with that, and he assured me that we could be profitable in about 3 months or so.

I told him that I would take that on "child like faith" and see where we ended up.

I also got an email today from someone that read one of my articles on funded proposals, and then he tried to pitch me his program....

If he would have actually read the article, he would have learned that he didnt have to do that kind of "hook and switch" type of trickery to get me to look at his program.

I wonder, he must just be capturing emails of article writers and then pitching his program.

Tasteless if you ask me... But I'm sure I'll see worse.

The good news for today is that I got 17 hits to my website!!

More tomorrow. PLEASE LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS!!

Wow so much stuff to learn

Well here it Late on a Monday night again. I think I have been on the computer for about 16 hours straight today!!

The amount of information that I have been exposed to in the last 4 or 5 days has been extraordinary.

I think I have probably absorbed more information about internet marketing in the last couple of days than I have in the last 15 years.

I will admit though that I have spent some money, and made some ongoing monthly investments that I am hopeful that Ill be able to earn back.

Most of what I am learning is how to create traffic to my websites.

I have learned that blogs, like this one, can generate traffic to my website.
I have learned that posting articles can generate traffic to my website.

I guess the real thing that I have learned is to understand that the information that I need to be successful is out there, you just have to get it from a reliable source.

I think I may have found it with Pay it forward 4 Profits,

I'll let you know. It has been a little bit more expensive than I thought it would be but there are tools that you need to be successful.

Just like the 49's needed picks and shovels, we need the tools like autoresponders, automated systems, squeeze pages and the like to be successful.

Would love to hear any comments or questions, or concerns that you have about anything that we write.

Going to Try Pay it Forward For Profits

In my attempt to switch over my marketing to online. I have been searching, and spending a lot of money, trying to find something that would both educate me, as well as giving me a an opportunity to ulitmately have good prospects for my primary MLM.

I found a company called Pay It Forward 4 Profit.

It seems that they have a "complete turn Key" system for taking a total newbie to serious online internet marketing expert.

Just over the last couple of days I have learned about.

I think an important thing those is that I actually DID what they said, I didn't just read about it.

Blogging...
Article submission
Affiliate Programs
Traffic Building Techniques
Funded Proposals.

And that is just in the first couple of days.

There is also a bunch of videos that take me step by step through the entire process.

I'll keep you posted as too my success and what I am doing.

It seems like a pretty good program because they still let you market your primary program, but they teach you develop your own lead generation machine.

I for one am sick of purchasing leads!!

The beginning

When in doubt take the action.

I have been dabbling for a long time in a couple of different of different MLM's. I actually did pretty well with a nutrition company a few years back.

I personally sponsored over 300 people. Problem is they are all gone now.

So now I am back to square one. I believe in the MLM model, so we will start out new.

I want to learn how to market on the mlm, and I thought it would be fun to blog my experiences both good and bad.

This week we will be investing the concept of the Funded Proposal... I'll let you know what I learn!!
