3 Reasons Not to Get PPC Domination by Jim Yaghi, a Magnetic Sponsoring Release
No doubt you have heard all of the hype surrounding the release of PPC Domination, a new Pay Per Click course by Jim Yaghi of Magnetic Sponsoring that claims it can teach you to generate hundreds of leads per day for your home based business using nothing but Google adwords. I'm here to tell you 3 reasons you should NOT buy this course.
#1 You are dead lazy. You know you won't even get through the 13 videos that make PPC as clear as day for those who are willing to grow their brains and earn while they learn.
#2 You are scared to fail. You know you really aren't a risk taker. You just pretend to be an entrepreneur because it makes you feel good about yourself. You bought into your business thinking it would grow on its own.
#3 Your time isn't valuable. You have all the time in the world to generate leads using other methods. You aren't into efficiency or leveraging your money. You'd rather spend hours a day using other methods that bring in trickles of leads, and trickles of money.
If this describes you, then you certainly do not want to learn:
The sales funnel that makes your Google ads effectively free.
How to identify your real target market for your business opportunity
How to choose the correct domain name
How to create a highly effective capture page.
How to Setup Your Google Account for the First Time
A Guided Tour of the Adwords Interface
How to Match Keywords to Search Strings
How to Use Split-Testing to Slash Click Cost and Boost Returns
How to Write Effective Sponsored Ads
How to Uncover the "Money" Keyword Terms
Tools for Keyword Research
Just stick to what you know.
PPC Domination is the first every Pay Per Click Course specifically for the home based business industry. If you are in MLM, Network Marketing or Direct sales, you need PPC Domination . You aren't stupid- get yours now.
If you started your business in Network Marketing and have been using the traditional strategies of building your business, then you may not have a clue as to why I am telling you that you should build a ‘list’ if you want to make huge money in MLM. In fact, it may be totally foreign terminology, so I’ll try to break it down easy.
First of all, this is certainly not the ‘only’ way to make a whole lot of money in MLM. This is just the way I choose to build my business. There are many extremely successful millionaires in MLM who never once built a list! Heck, there were millionaires in MLM before there even was an internet… so don’t get the idea that I’m saying my way is the only way.
I can only tell you what I have done that works. I have chosen to build my business using the internet and the phone. I was advised 4 years ago to learn to generate my own leads and learned quickly that my self generated leads had a much higher conversion rate than any I purchased. 3 years ago I began to generate my list, so that all of the leads I generated were in one autoresponder and could be mailed about anything at all I liked. That means that leads I generated for a business 3 years ago that went out of business… are still my leads. They did not get left behind in some ‘system’. I paid with those with money or sweat, and I’ll not give them up! You should be as attached to your leads as well – they are extremely valuable to you.
I continue to generate prospects online using various capture pages that I design- and have had tremendous results, including enrolling well over 200 people into my business over the course of a year.
Why?
Because:
The Best Source of Traffic for your Website is Your List.
Is your company running a promotion? The best people to inform - Your List! Is there a special presentation happening this weekend? Inviting a few thousand people at the push of the send button will ensure that someone will be there!
These people opted in to hear from you and have chosen to stay on your list. They may stay there for YEARS before making a move, and that’s OK! If you have tens of thousands of people that are getting your messages, then there is always someone who’s time is right to act. The more people on your list, the more people will make the move to get started with you each week, and the larger your check!
Most people who fill out your lead capture page will not take action right away. If your page captured their phone number, give them a call to make sure they know they are joining a company with a true support system. They may still need to take a look at your offer many times before they even call you back. When they do – they are the most qualified of prospects. Ready to join your MLM!
That, my friend is why I build a list of people who are looking for or are already in a business opportunity. I’m looking for the entrepreneur minded people who are willing to do what it takes to make a change in their lives. This is the best audience – and why YOU should build your list.
Increase your prospecting and closing skills and you can make a whole lot more money in your MLM with far fewer leads. The converse is also true… With poor communication skills you will have to generate hundreds more leads to make ANY money! If you are working hard to generate your own leads online, it is essential to increase your communication skills. As you do, you will see your results dramatically improve. It’s highly probable that if you are brand new to learning to generate leads online that the number of leads you generate at first will be few and far between. That’s just reality. I’d like to see you get the maximum results for your efforts!
In order to maximize your efforts, you will need to call every person who requests information about your business opportunity in a timely manner. Your upline leader should have given you some sort of script and simple process to take your lead through to get them from lead to distributor. If you do not have anything like that to work with, or if you want a script for every scenario under the sun, I recommend the Script Book by Dani Johnson.
You want to become really good at reading the script to your prospects. I didn’t say great, nor did I say expert, I just said “good.” Good enough that you aren’t getting hung up on! You may even want to buy some MLM leads generated by an advertiser and call through them to practice, so that when you generate your own, you are ready to connect with them on a professional level. The only way to get good is to first do it badly. Make those calls – lots of them, consistently. If you suck at prospecting, get better. You don’t want to blow it with your own leads. An experienced Networker can take a “crappy list” and find the diamonds in it and convert them to distributors. They have honed their skills and can take the very same scripts you are “bombing” with and elicit less rejection from the very same prospect you got a “no” from. The only thing that is different between you and the experienced networker is practice!
Do you want residual millions or some pocket change? Are you willing to become an expert Network Marketer? If so, you have some work to do. Hone your prospecting skills right alongside your marketing skills. Make it part of your daily routine to listen to training and apply it.
Sure, you can become an expert marketer and have people sign up in your business if you drive enough traffic. If that is your plan, you are leaving a ton of money in your list of people you never called. And the people who did join you? They need a call to get started correctly. Please do the right thing. Learn to be a network marketer, not just a recruiter! What separates the “wannabes” from the Residual Millionaires? The willingness to invest in their education and increase their skill set. I hope you are willing.
Wouldn’t you love to say the same? You can, when you share a funded proposal with your list. When you use a funded proposal, you make money for generating a lead even if the person does not join your business! Over the years I have generated thousands of leads using the Magnetic Sponsoring system. This morning I logged into my system back office to find that last night, while I was making a gourmet dinner and enjoying time with my family… we made over 1K! Now that is something to be thankful for! How on earth are you going to get to that point? Start with your own list!
Build yourself a blog, slap a capture on it and begin to build your own list of networkers and wanna be networkers. Direct these people to some of the most intelligent training they can get to learn to succeed online – Magnetic Sponsoring. When you help them to succeed with this info.. you may well get paid! There are many affiliate products you can earn on once you have the system yourself. The product line will have something that your prospect needs- whether its info on how to build a business on a budget, or on how to improve phone skills, there is something they can use.
Whether you generate your leads for your opportunity, or a newsletter of sorts, it would be of benefit to you to incorporate a link to Magnetic in your series. Once you have purchased any of the products offered, you can sell all of them. When someone opts into your link, they are linked to you and you will earn on everything they ever buy. Hence, making over 1K last night. One person who had opted in went and bought up just about everything offered! I never even spoke to the individual. In fact, I couldn’t ‘dig up’ his number at all. I found his YouTube, though, and left him a very nice comment. The least I could do!
Should you become a Magnetic affiliate? In a word, YES.
Should you build your OWN list first and introduce them to Magnetic? Yes. And I give the instructions in MLM List Building Exposed.
Google Adwords doesn't allow advertising of MLM, Network Marketing schemes or Affiliate sites! The game is over, we are all doomed to using SEO to get our sites found... or are we?
Of course Google doesn’t have it out for home based entrepreneurs. They simply hate cookie cutter replicated websites! In fact, they will not allow you to advertise a replicated site, or a domain name that has been forwarded to a replicated site, even if its masked. This isn't new news... just seems that way after many MLMers set up their new adwords campaigns after purchasing PPC Domination and found that their campaigns were being shut down by the droves.
So what is a online marketer to do? If you cant use the most effective advertising medium available online to generate hundreds of leads daily, how are you going to jump start your lead generation efforts? The answer is quite simple, yet I’ll bet 98% of the networkers reading this have not mastered this skill yet.
What is the solution?
Create your own capture pages! I do know how intimidating this sounds – it took me 3 years to even contemplate it. Once I did, I simply used my Dreamweaver software and went for it. I looked for capture pages that other successful marketers were using, created a ‘swipe file’ of phrases that I liked, and I hacked together capture pages. I purchased an autoresponder and learned how to insert the code on the page… got over the mystery of the FTP to server thing, and jumped for joy at my creations! Why? Because I was finally the one in control of my pages, and my lead lists. I did not have to pay anyone else to use their ‘system’. I was an independent business person, creating my golden list.
Folks, the Milletic’s family's future was rewritten when Mom learned these skills. Sounds dramatic, but it absolutely is true.
“But I don’t know how.”
"I’m not good at making web pages.”
Learn. If a high school science teacher could learn to hack together websites after her children were asleep (ME) – You most certainly can.
When you have your own capture pages, you’ll have no problem running Google Adwords campaigns. You can even customize your capture pages to match your Google ad and get much higher conversions of clicks to leads. You’ll be able to do all of the things that are recommended by Adwords list building experts like Simon Leung and MLM Adwords expert Jim Yaghi.
Just get the heck out of your own way and step into your future as an internet based network marketer. It's time your old school met the New school. You can’t be part of the Newest school if you are still paying someone else to use their system - Period.
For step by step instructions on how to get your capture pages set up and integrated with your autoresponder, see MLM List Building Exposed.
One effective way to quickly generate subscribers to your MLM list is to use the ‘list builder’ services that are available to the online marketer. These are large lists of hundreds of thousands of active online marketers that you can send your ad to. Most of these services have a free option, but it is not valuable to you, unless you build up a downline in their system. If you go for the free option, you will be able to email as many random members as you have referrals to the list builder system. Of much more value to you is one of the paid memberships that allow you to mail to thousands of list members every couple of days. When you have access to thousands of online marketers, you have an excellent opportunity to test your ad copy. You can and should use these mailings to craft your subject lines, email copy, and squeeze page copy to see what converts best. That way, when you take your ads to other sources, like ezines, or your squeeze pages to Google Adwords, you will be working with a refined product.
Below I have compiled a list of the list builders that I currently mail to on a weekly basis. I am a paid member in all of these sites, so the results you see are for mailing to THOUSANDS of online marketers every week. I am using my MLM List Building squeeze page, which allows them to subscribe to this newsletter. This way, I am able to legally ‘steal’ the subscribers from these list builders who are looking for a way to build their MLM list. My squeeze page is highly targeted to Network Marketers who are using the same list builder services I use.
List Bandit: 25.7% optin $197 OTO to mail 3000 random members, plus a unique number of bonus members, every 3 days. Also unique advertising to members within the site that enables you to get optins direct to your autoresponder.
This was my very first “list builder’, and I was highly skeptical at first. I was totally ‘hooked’ when I saw it took about 3 minutes to produce 15+ subscribers. Realizing I could do that every 3 days, all year long for just $197 was truly exciting. These leads are ‘opportunity buyers’, people who already want to work online. It’s just a matter of connecting with them to convert them to team members, or funded proposal buyers… easy $$$!
$197 OTO to mail 3000 embers every 3 days. Also, there are unique ways to advertise to members within the site. Viral Url continues to be an extremely responsive list. I know one marketer who has 11 accounts with these guys and pulls in Thousands per week in sales!
Downline Builders Direct : 30.6% optin $197 or $77 OTO to mail to 20,000 every 3 days. This one is actually very new, but has some unique features. #1, they allow you to mail to 500 members with a free membership. #2, a paid membership lets you mail to a full 20,000 members every 3 days!
List Auction: 13% optin $197 to mail to 3000 every three days. Hoping this one improves a bit! The internal ad features are great- but the click rate is low, and the optin pretty low.
List Joe: 1.6% optin $197 OTO Not worth it in my opinion. Lots of clicks, not a lot of action. Only slightly better than safelist advertising. Perhaps its worth it if you use the ‘build multiple lists’ feature where you enter the ids of several list builders you belong to and your downline signs up through your links. You can earn up to 1000 ad credits for each referral too - not too shabby.
Do the math – most of these List builders allow you to mail to 3000 or more members every 3 days for an entire year for $197. It's like running a solo ad every 3 days, or 120 times- for $197! That’s a deal! Go for it, grow YOUR list!
“None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free” - Goethe
You want to be free? Then you must step out of who you were into who you are meant to be. You cannot live under the same false paradigms and try to get away with doing as little work as possible… The path to true wealth is not a lottery ticket, or luck.
You want to have massive success, to be a self-made millionaire? Then you must be willing to re-program yourself. Otherwise you are operating in default mode – acting in response to what the world hands you, instead of living a life by design.
98% of the population will go online and find a business to join and then go into ‘learning mode’. They will learn the comp plan, the marketing system, the scripts, and how to advertise. They will learn and learn… but not apply. They will then blame their lack of success on the company they joined, rather than on themselves. It’s always something outside of themselves that isn’t working, not them!
How are you going to be part of the successful 2%? You are going to Learn and Apply. You aren’t just going to study how to market your business, you are going to take swift, decisive action and begin NOW. You are also going to learn how to effectively communicate with your prospects. You are going to learn excellent phone skills – and you are going to do that NOW. You will not let your lack of skill stop you from succeeding wildly in your business. Instead, you will develop a skill set that will make you millions – you with me?
You are in sales and it requires phone skills. Period. Don’t believe anything contrary – it’s false. Master marketing and effective communication and you will be unusually successful. Prospecting phone skills are essential to a home based entrepreneur in Network Marketing, MLM or Direct sales. There is no way around it. Learn how to make money using the phone and the tools your company provides. Get the heck out of your own way and learn & apply.
How are you going to learn and apply proven marketing techniques NOW? Join me on Tuesday night for our Live Advanced Sponsoring Webinar, where I will walk you through the crucial steps of creating a wildly successful Internet based home business. Register for "Internetwork Marketing Training" NOW!
Huh? Does that sound unusually hard? Are you a technophobe? You don’t have to do this… but if you truly want to build a list and have full control over your business – if you want to attract your own leads online - you’ll stop using someone else’s ‘system’, and get your own launched.
Welcome to my Twitter Stream! I'm Melanie Milletics, and I'm sure you can learn plenty about me by perusing my blog here. I created a welcome message for you, so that you can connect a face with a name!
Question: do you know how to use Twitter? I mean, really know how to leverage this powerful social media phenomena? Are you a student, willing to learn? Great! Then I have a gift for you:
FREE TWITTER TRAINING: fill out the form and the next page has the link for your Free Twitter Training for Newbies thru Advanced users- PRICELESS!
If you are new to Twitter and wondering how on earth to keep up with all of the incredible information being shared in this social marketing mecca, I highly recommend the TweetDeck. You can use the Tweetdeck to organize your Twitter streams so that you are able to 'listen to' those you most want to hear. For example, I have the millionaire Internet marketers in one stream, my business associates in another, and the 'rest' in a third group. This way I don't miss something big and can quickly respond to a business associates tweet.
Tweet, twit, stream... what? Twitter is fun and addictive! I have learned TONS in a very short time. The 'tweets' of the master marketers are somehow more revealing than their emails... perhaps because they are just talking amongst themselves.
Posting in network marketing discussion forums is a totally free way to generate leads from an extremely targeted audience. But you MUST go about it with professionalism and integrity. If you have never set up a forum profile before, now is the time to do so. This costs you no money - just your time.
I have been generating leads from forums for about 3 years. At first, I did it absolutely the WRONG way. I went into any forum I could find, and I SPAMMED them! I took my well planned advertisement, started a new thread, and stuck it out there. I was even rude enough to go back a day later to respond to my own thread in order to bump it up! As you can imagine, I received a lot of terrible responses from the active participants of the board - and NO leads. Let that be a lesson to you. You never, ever want to go into a discussion board and open a thread with the express purpose of advertising your business. Each and every forum that is business oriented will usually have an advertising section - that is the ONLY place that it is appropriate to post your ad. If you post your ad elsewhere, or hijack a thread about a competitors program, that is considered SPAM. If you include your link in the body of your message, that is also against forum rules and etiquette.
There is only ONE place for your link, and that is in your signature file. Most forums will have a "profile" section that you can access to upload a thumbnail picture (highly recommended), and to add your signature file. Most, but not all, forums use USB codes so that you can link your text. That is, you can create a one line ad and hyperlink it so that it goes directly to your lead capture page. The code will look like this:
[URL=http://www.YOURCAPTUREPAGEURL.com]Your One Line Ad[/B][/URL]
Once your profile is set up correctly, and your signature file is a clickable text link, you are ready to "go." Look for threads that have been viewed many times and/or have many replies. These are the threads to spend your time in. Once you have found a decent thread that is on a topic that you feel you can speak on - then add your 2¢ to the discussion. Again, you are joining the discussion in progress, and your comment should be relevant to the topic. Just typing in "me too" or "I agree" is NOT the way to go. You want to be respectful and respectable, and watch your grammar and spelling. I know your mother told you that if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all. Well, this is particularly true on a message board. You NEVER want to get into an argument on a forum. You want to spread good will, helpful advice, and to instill confidence in YOU as a leader. That last part may take a little time, but it's incredibly important to your success. If you are going to spend ANY time attempting to generate leads this way, then you must be effective at this. If you become a "regular" on the boards and have a presence that people respect, then you can and will generate endless leads. That's attraction marketing in action!
What kind of boards should you post on? Forums that relate to your business, or relate to a subject you are either very knowledgeable about, or have a great interest in. The first seems obvious - to find targeted, opportunity buyers, post where they are reading. The second is under utilized, and therefore even more powerful! If, for example, you are a gourmet cake maker, find a board where other cake makers worldwide go to discuss the craft. I can virtually guarantee that most of the people on that board will NOT have a business link in their signature file - therefore YOUR link will stand out and will get a lot of clicks, because people are innately curious. They HAVE to click on your signature to find out how you are making money online!
Use Google to search for relevant forums. Once you have found a few active boards, save those links in your favorites, and try to post at least five different replies on five different threads at least two times per week. By keeping your signature file at the top of those boards, you cannot help but generate leads!
What are the best online forums to generate leads for your network marketing, mlm or direct sales business? After years of working to generate leads online, there are a few forums that stand out as the best for generating leads. There I have created specific tracking links for each forum to determine which sites get the most action. You should do the same. Don’t take my word for it – do your own research here by creating a tracking link to your capture page and tracking the hits and conversions. After a few posts over a couple of days, you should be able to determine if the board is active or not. If you are using aweber, this is a simple thing to do. Simply replicate your capture page for each board and insert a new webform into the new page. That way you will know exactly how many hits and conversions you are getting from each site.
BetterNetworker – clearly one of the best! Mike Dillard of Magnetic Sponsoring created this Network Marketer’s dream social network where you can learn from the best! Great conversion on personalized capture pages here.
I have a video on how to create your signature file for Better networker:
WAHM.com Work at home mom’s forum has a section just for networkers! One of the most ‘trolled’ sites online, you will generate great leads from members of the forum, and those who are just reading threads. This site is a Mom’s board- but has many Dads on it too… but I think I speak for a lot of Moms on the board when I say there are plenty of other sites for Dad’s to hang out on. Leave WAHM.com to the Moms!
MLM.com has been in place forever! This board doesn’t allow a signature file, but does enable you to add your link to your profile. If you contribute high quality info to discussions here, you will create a very targeted lead. The individual had to go to extra trouble to connect with you!
HomeBasedBusinessForums.com– definitely geared to online networkers with extensive content on online marketing techniques.
Now, I am certain there are more, and you will tell me all about them in the comments section, right? Remember, Time is Money, and a self-generated lead is the BEST lead. Spend an hour or so a week posting in forums after you are done with your prospecting and follow up calls for the day. You WILL generate leads from forums and bring more income into your life as a result if you follow the instructions I have outlined!

"Success can be defined as the progressive realization of a worthy ideal." - Earl Nightingale.
If there is one thing that I have learned that has put thousands a week into my pocket - it is to stay laser focused on the desired goal until it is achieved.For me, that means tuning out outside influences that would distract me from my home based business, or appeal to my emotions and perhaps even make me think that my goal was not worthy!
What do I mean?
Well, if you work online you no doubt have experienced information overload. You get hundreds of spam mail messages per day that you must wade through to find the gold you seek, and if you are researching how to succeed in your business – you can very quickly find yourself on a long winding ride to nowhere.
If you intend to succeed – if you KNOW you will succeed if you could just get down to what works – then please follow these instructions carefully so that you too can put thousands in your pockets!
First and foremost, find one company and stick with it for the long haul.Unless you find yourself in a business that you truly do not like, or if you find that it’s corrupt in some way – or they go and change the comp plan – stick with your company.Do not let anyone or anything tell you that they have the better deal.The grass will always seem greener, the money will always bigger with another company.Now, you are in business for yourself and you are not ‘married’ to a company – but I’m telling you that you will get NOWHERE fast if you are a company jumper, or an mlm junkie.Do your research and find an excellent company (yes, they are out there!), and stick with it until you succeed.You will be far more likely to succeed if you know the company and comp plan inside and out than if you leave it behind assuming it ‘didn’t work’, when in fact, you didn’t work it.Most residual millionaires have built those fortunes by building one business HUGE.They create a story for themselves, build momentum, support a team and ride off into the sunset living their life by design.That is what you want isn’t it?You are ultimately working for freedom – for the residual millions.So stick where you are.If you aren’t happy where you are- then learn more about your company – meet some of your key leaders and see why they are there.You may just find that doing so, really learning your business, is all you need in order to love where you are!You have to see the vision to work it long term.If you really hate your company- find your new home quickly, and then get down to WORK.
Now, put your blinders on.Ignore the mail that wants to tell you about the next big thing- the voicemail blasts that want to sell you the voiceblaster, the people who purchased your name and want to tell you about their deal.Ignore it COMPLETELY.It is of no use to you, it will not make you successful in your business.Do not surf the net looking for the next big thing, the magic traffic system, the worlds best lead source, the automated downline builder… Don’t even go there!The internet is an energy sucker – a vampire sucking away the precious productive hours that you have to build your empire.Just STOP surfing.
Your upline leaders will share with you the tools they use.Do not recreate the wheel.Use the system that is in place to build.If your direct sponsor is not terribly successful, go upline until you find the leader who will help you.A true leader should be able to direct you to the tools to help you to build in whatever way YOU choose.There are many ways to build and you need to find the ways that resonate with you.Whether you want to build online or offline, or both- your upline leader should be able to give you the system that works to put in new reps.Once you are making 30-40K per month, then maybe you can get fancy and try new methods- until then, be teachable and use the system in place!
I know you are still waiting for what will put thousands in your pocket – right? The answer is – WORK.Work your business like mad to build your financial fortress.The speed of your success depends only on your level of belief and your massive action.You need to KNOW that if others are earning the big checks- you can and will as soon as you expect success.Stay laser focused and work the system.Ignore the distractions that you encounter online – don’t join another company – don’t go looking for the magic bullet.Plug into your system and WIN.
You cannot afford to watch TV.Really, you cannot.Do you have any debt?If so, sitting on your butt in front of the boob tube is not going to get you out of your predicament any faster.You can be certain that you are in fact cheating your family out of thousands of dollars in residual income, and a lifetime of fun and freedom!So what will it be ?… the brain numbing telly… or living up to your full potential?
The sad fact is that for many, it will be the telly.In ‘the Strangest secret”, by Earl Nightingale, it is said that a full 95% of people are content to just get by.Only 5% of us are true entrepreneurs, willing to learn and apply and grow into our full potential.Of the 5% who will become financially independent, only 1% become wildy successful and truly rich.
Where do you see yourself?Do you have a burning desire, huge dreams and an imagination that keeps you awake at night? Or are you sitting on your butt, living vicariously through the characters on the screen.Or worse, letting your beautiful mind be poisoned by the violence and trash that passes for entertainment?
You truly must change your mind before you can change your bank account. One of the most glorious aspects of a network marketing business is that you MUST grow in order to earn.You must change your stinkin thinkin, you must learn to use the master key.
One of my friends says it this way – “you’ve got to stop being right if you want to be rich.”
In other words, it’s time that you listened, learned and applied and simply got down to work.
I know that many of you are out surfing for the ‘magic dust’ that is going to make your business run on total autopilot so that you don’t have to actually work…
Folks, this isn’t like your job where you work as little as possible and will get paid regardless.If you treat your network marketing business the same way you do your job, your dreams will continue to be just that.Dreams, wishes, could have beens.
Your business requires massive exposure.That means that each and every day you must work to put more prospects into your pipeline.I’ll bet that your upline has given you some ways to get that done?If not, have you gone further upline to find the answers you need?Are there people making money in your company?I’ll bet there are, and if you aren’t its not the company or the comp plan or your sponsor’s fault.It’s yours.You need to keep going upline till you find the answers you need.I said the answers you need- not the answers you WANT.The successful people in your upline will tell you what they are doing to succeed.Just DO it.You may have to step out of your comfort zone to begin to make true change in your life.You may need to learn new skills and apply them on a daily basis until you become at least proficient, if not professional.
You didn’t buy a lottery ticket, folks.You bought a business.Just because it was cheap, doesn’t mean you don’t have a million in potential earnings waiting for you.

So are you ready to make today a day of extraordinary change?Just decide, and it is DONE! I wish you the utmost success!
I can track my path to success in my online home based business back to the decision to learn how to build my own capture pages. That decision marks the day I began to make life changing income, and the day I began to build my own LIST.
Why did I choose to learn to make my own capture pages? I was tired of being dependent on someone else’s system that I was paying $19.95 + a month for and had zero control over. I was watching the evolution of marketing a online home based business and knew that I needed to put my own FACE on my captures ~ and once I did… everything changed!
At the time, I was working with a direct sales company and managed to convert sales of up to 9K using just my videos. I never even spoke to the customer! It was all done through video capture, personalized autoresponder followup and more video… I used customized capture pages with video, and made a ridiculous amount of money. I don’t know that the strategies I employed then would work today, as the market has changed, but the point it still powerful.
You will make more money when you use a customized capture page. Why is this true? It comes down to 3 facts:
1. Your picture and/or video on your capture pages will always convert subscribers better than any replicated site could. More subscribers = more prospects in the sales funnel. 2. Personalized autoresponder messages will always convert more subscribers to sales. Emails written in your voice are obviously not canned sales pitches. Your subscribers stay engaged in the sales process longer and may convert over time. 3. Search Engine Optimization can only be achieved with your own hosted capture pages. That is, Google can index your page and this will get you free leads. Your replicated site page from your company will not get you the same results.
Once you know these facts, you should feel overwhelmingly compelled to create your own captures! Seriously, why would you work harder, for less money? That’s essentially what you are doing when you advertise your company replicated site!
Before I give you the instructions on how to build your own capture pages, I want to make sure you understand that your capture page serves one purpose – to get your visitors to subscribe. There should be no links that leave your capture page. The only option your visitor has is to fill out your form, or leave. Seriously! There are several systems on the internet that have you put links to your blog, Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, etc. It seems like a good idea on the surface, but in the end, your prospect is LEAVING your capture page, and you did not capture their details. So keep it clean.
Your capture page should give your visitor a good reason to fill out your form and subscribe to your newsletter. Visit some “superaffiliate” sites and look at their capture pages. You will find that the best are short, compelling, and ultimately get you to act.
Remember, there is only one option – fill out the form, or leave. There aren’t links to go anywhere else! When you create your own company specific capture page, make it short and concise, giving them just enough information to entice them to fill out your form.

What is a Magic Blog Post? Should you care about it?
Is there a “Magic Formula” for creating a blog post that will guarantee that it ranks high in the search engines for the keywords you are targeting on your home business blog?
Well, almost! Nothing can guarantee those kinds of results, but as with anything else, following ‘best practices’ is key to your success in blogging for home business!
Recently I attended an Internet Marketing Masters Seminar that completely blew my mind! The speakers totally spilled their guts about what works to dominate the internet for your niche. I was left with incredible strategies to implement, and I just KNEW I had to share them with YOU!
Melanie Milletics and Jason Develvis
I was particularly inspired by one of the teachers, a young man by the name of Jason Develvis. Jason has worked smart online for years- and despite the fact that he looks like a kid : ) , Jason knows his $tuff!
Jason taught us exactly how to create a blog post that ranks high in the search engines and is in fact so ‘sticky’, you will own your key word phrase! Simply follow the formula below when writing your blog post, and you will be halfway there. The second part is The 6 Step process to drive traffic to your Blog.
Magical Blog Post Formula
Use a question as the title of the blog post That way, when someone types into the search engine “How do I …”, they find your answer!
Start the post with a story. Any kind of story... real, or imaginary!
Reiterate the problem, or restate the question you are addressing. Remember, your post provides VALUE, something to help the reader solve a problem (like, how to get blog traffic!).
Give a short, bulleted list of solutions or steps to the solution.
Explain the solution and the steps to implement it.
Give a resource that can help them to get bigger, better, easier, faster results.
Add an internal link and an external link to your keyword/ keyphrase. An internal link is a link that links back to another page on your blog that is relevant to the blog post. An external link will link it to another site on the net that is relevant.
The "Magical Blog Post" is half of the solution to the problem of a blog that sits without any traffic. The other half is "The 6 Step Process to Drive Traffic to Your Blog" . When you create your blog posts with the Magical Formula, then drive the traffic, you can be certain you are working with the strategies that internet experts use to rank in the search engines.

Which Autoresponder is the Best to build your Home Based Business list?
Once you have the methods to generate thousands of targeted visitors, you absolutely MUST set up a follow up system. If you are not following up, you are losing a TON of money. Allow me to explain:
Not everyone who are people who do not act immediately when they see a good thing. There visits your website is going to sign up or buy from you immediately. Thereare also people out there that will talk themselves out of any form of success. Get yourself an autoresponder. I have significantly increased my conversion rate by doing so, as people will often come back weeks and even months later and sign up! Auto-responders are essential.
If you do not know what an auto-responder is, you must learn now. You will need to learn how to use one in order to automatically follow up with people via email. Statistically, a potential customer needs to see your ad an average of 7-12 times before they are confident enough to make a purchase. An auto-responder series will follow up with your leads via email and substantially increase your conversion rate.
You will need to choose between an autoresponder that you 'rent' on a monthly basis, or one that you buy and host yourself. The review of autoresponders below will help you to decide what autoresponder is best for you.
Autoresponders paid for with a monthly subscription
Aweber offers affordable monthly subscriptions for their auto-responder services. They have more features than are usually available with your standard auto-responder, and they have free version to check them out. This is the autoresponder of choice for top marketers. If you intend to create your own capture pages and build your list, this is the responder of choice. This is the responder I currently use in most of my campaigns. iContact is another choice. Similar to AWeber, but with one significant advantage. IContact will allow you to import subscribers that you generated in another system. You can import them and begin to send them mail without them having to confirm that they want to get your mail. This is not to say it is something you would import purchased leads into. But if you generate leads with some kind of affiliate system, you can import them into iContact and mail to them.
Autoresponder software you buy and host
I personally use Autoresponse Plus to import the leads I have generated from the various affiliate programs I promote. This allows me to email them without having to send them a confirmation email. I can follow up with them FOREVER, or until they opt-out. You would be surprised to know how many people have been on my list for YEARS before joining me in my primary business.
I host my Autoresponse Plus at Host Gator. When you buy the licence for the software, they will install it on your server for free. You then have ultimate control over your list.
It is imperative that you learn to use your auto-responder to automatically follow up with your potential customers. Learn to advertise your home based business effectively and use an autoresponder series to follow up -- you will produce sales. Leave off the autoresponder, and I cannot say the same.

After all, a blog on the net will not simply attract people on its own. It is not a case of 'If you build it, they will come.' If you already have a LIST, you have a ready audience. If not, then just like any website on the net, you must do the work to get it indexed in the search engines for your targeted keywords.
In other words, you've got to make sure that people find you when they do a search for what you have blogged about!
I spent a weekend with master internet marketers and came away with some very interesting and strategic tips for you to use to drive traffic to your home business blog. Most of them I wasn't even doing yet ... and my blogs do OK! Imagine how yours will do if you follow "The Six Step Formula for Driving Targeted Traffic to Your Blog."
