It has been VERY long since I have posted anything to my blog, so I thought it was time to get back into it…
The first thing I will cover off is the programs I am promoting long term….
1. Traffic Wave and “The Online Ad Network” - this is a great program, because Traffic Wave is a top notch autoresponder (you are using an autoresponder, right?). You can see the lead funnel system I built for this program, that you get to use for free if you are in my downline, and find out more abou the system here => http://cheapeasybiz.com
2. Ad-Venture4U - this is a fantastic revenue sharing advertising program. I am making money hand over fist! The best part is that you don’t even have to recruit or build a downline. But if you want to it is very lucrative On Tuesday I will be starting a 20 week challenge documenting this program - be sure to watch for my video and blog post on Tuesday! You can check this out as a free member RIGHT NOW! => Ad-Ventures4U
On top of these two programs I am building, I also own a couple of sites you need to check out….
1. Matrix Soldiers - this is a team downline building system that I launched with my business partner. We have some major announcements and changes coming to the site in the next couple of weeks. It is FREE - never a charge - so check it out now => http://matrixsoldiers.com
2. Million EZ Hits - Free advertising site that drives traffic to your site virally. Free to join! => http://www2.millionezhits.com
That pretty much wraps it for now! Like I mentioned earlier, watch for the start of my Ad-Ventures4U20 week challenge that starts on Tuesday!
Well the responses to my last post got me thinking….how professional do we need to be in our communication with our subscribers?
I prefer to just sit down and write, I write like I talk - so there are mistakes. I don’t proof it more than once.
So in my last post, I used the word “B*(*X”. Within minutes I had this unsubscribe confirmation email in my inbox…
“Unprofessional email. No need to use the word “bitch” to get attention.”
So was I using the that word to get attention? Maybe, but isn’t that what we should be doing as marketers?
I know that I am subscribed to a couple of lists where everyother word is a four letter word - but I stay subscribed because of the content. I do not run around cussing all day long - but in this instance I used the word for emphasis.
So let me know in the comments section below how you feel about this whole subject! Did I offend you? Did you enjoy the post? Should all communication be “perfect” and “professional”?
In any business in the world today, the 80/20 rule always applies. This means that only 20 percent of the people will get something done while the rest of the other 80 percent will disappear into oblivion.
The same applies to network marketing success. The majority of people will not do anything. Only 20 percent of the people actually get around to doing something about it. But unfortunately, only a small percentage of THAT 20 percent actually achieves network marketing success (some give up after they fail to see results or because they move on to other commitments – not network marketing’s fault).
The first thing you must do in order to take the first step towards achieving network marketing success is to have a dream. Not just any dream but a dream that is HUGE. Do not let other people tell you what you can or can’t do. In Donald Trump’s own words, “If you are going to think, you might as well think big.” After all, you are already thinking anyway, so you might as well think big and achieve big. If you don’t have a dream, a compelling reason to keep you going when the going gets tough, you will definitely drop out from network marketing after you run into challenges.
Besides having a dream, you must have a blueprint for success. It is also not enough to have the ‘WHY’, you must have the ‘HOW’ as well otherwise you will have a big dream and it just stops at the dream part (because your dream never becomes a reality).
For example, there are a lot of network marketing prospecting methods that are considered obsolete by today’s standards. You cannot just do cold calling and pester your friends and relatives by forcing them to join your network marketing opportunity. You need to learn how to handle people and use the Internet to generate leads for your business.
You also need to structure your action plan properly because you need to know how to execute your plans to make your dream a reality. An action plan that works out day by day, week by week, month by month and year by year.
Write down on your time table, what you need to achieve this very day – reading a motivational book, engaging in prospecting activities, retailing some products to your customers and spending time with your downlines training and coaching them.
Without a definite day to day plan, your day will definitely slip by without much action. At the end of the day, it is all about you – don’t rely on your uplines or your downlines for success because if you do, you are building their business instead of your own.
Many network marketing reps struggle as far as prospecting is concerned.
One of the reasons why they are so uncomfortable when approaching their friends is because they are fighting an uphill battle against their group of friends.
Granted, it is very difficult when you are doing it alone. After all, peer pressure is against you and the only way you can successfully convince your friends to join your network marketing is if you and another partner are working as a team.
The first and most notable example of working together as a team is with your spouse or your significant other.
The man will usually talk business, because most prospects usually perceive the man as the one holding the authority (not that women are inferior, but they have more powerful ROLES in different areas).
The women on the other hand, will do well trying to relate to the prospect through products and services.
With that said, don’t fight to be the boss – learn to examine the situation.
This sort of tag team prospecting is even more effective when dealing with couples because while the man talks about business plans in the living room, the women can chat all about products in the kitchen.
If you do not have a partner, you can always pair up with your upline or a side line (sometimes, it even works with downlines… after all, there is power in numbers). If your upline and you know a mutual friend, greatest leverage you have to convince a common friend to sign up is to use social leverage (after all, ‘everyone else’ is in… what about you?) This works even well if your upline has credibility and is someone who is well respected, you will have better chances for success.
The most important thing is to make sure you do not do this business alone. Network marketing is a business that puts you in business for yourself, but you are NOT going to work by yourself. Trying to go solo in your network marketing business is suicidal because if your downlines try and pick it up, they will each do things their own way (solo) and you will have a heck of a problem when your group reaches a large number.
Another reason why it is very difficult to work alone is because you don’t have all the time in the world to go running around prospecting and taking care of all your downlines at the same time. You need to share the load and give some credit to your downlines as they look out for one another when you are not around.
You are in business for yourself, but not BY yourself. You must learn to divide and conquer as you work together with your uplines, downlines, sidelines and even the staff in the company. When your prospect see you walk down the isle and the managers and staff are all waving to you, it gives you a lot of credibility (when they wave to you and you go, “By the way, that’s the managing director of the company…”)
For the past year I have really focused on growing my MLM business and using the internet to generate leads, make some front end cash and only sponsor those people that are real action takers. It has been a great ride so far and only gets better with each day!
However, I realized about a month ago that I had seriously been neglecting my health. My blood pressure was beginning to rise right along with my weight. I knew I needed a change.
So I started running. Now, there is no way that a mildly overweight, out of shape guy like myself can just go out and run for 3 miles - I would probably kill myself. So I found a great running program called the Couch to 5k program - you can find out more here. Right now I just began week #4 if you care to see what I am doing.
Basically I run/walk 3 times a week. Each week the time spent running increases and the time spent walking decreases. So at the end of 8 weeks you are running non-stop for 30 minutes.
It is a great program, but it does take dedication.
One of the things I have learned over the past year is that dedication is really what is required for success. If you are dedicated week in week out to taking consistent action you will have success in this industry. The biggest secret to my success has been the ability to focus on the things that really matter - like traffic generation and front end profits.
By taking consistent action in my running program I am transforming myself from a couch/computer potato to a runner - and it is easy! The skills I have learned by building my business through dedicated action transfer to other parts of my life like running.
Today - right now - take action. Then do the same thing tomorrow. Before long it will be a habit - and you will not be able to stop yourself. The best part is that success will quickly be your reward.
I have some big things coming your way in the next few weeks. It is getting very exciting around these parts!
Can you really make money in network marketing? You bet…but probably not as fast as you would like.
You see the problem is that the really nice money is made 2 or 3 years down the road in most network marketing companies. It simply takes this long for your team to grow to a point that you can experience the real residual income benefits that MLM and Network Marketing can offer.
So how do you stay in the game long enough? You are no doubt spending money every month on your business and this can only continue for so long before your broke!
Easy! Get plugged into a funded proposal system that will allow you to profit from leads even if they never join your network marketing opportunity.
Let me show you a couple of examples to see what is very easy to accomplish.
Here is just one payment for two weeks of commissions….
What would this kind of money mean in your life?
With this type of income, you can easily cover you monthly business expenses, reinvest in more advertising - or just take you favorite person out for a great meal!
By combining Network Marketing with affiliate marketing and a good funded proposal system, it really puts you in a position of ultimate power - lead abundance and positive cash flow!

Today I received this email, and I just had to share it with you…..
Hello Burke,
Thank you so much for putting together the Internet MLM Pro Secrets e-book. I’ve been involved with MLM marketing for about 7 years, made some money but as we all know spent more than I’ve received in residual income. I can not Thank you enough for helping me to refocus on what the primary responsibility was to marketing. It’s not about the product It’s about people and mainly it is about ME. People will respond with genuine concern and will definitely want more information when they have established a bond and or connection with you. I’m wiping the slate clean and revamping my energies towards these goals.
1. Establishing my credibility
2. Focusing on my clients needs and how i can assist them
3. Following advise from just One Mentor

This is valuable stuff folks, and the key to your success. Otelia did a fantastic job boiling down the three simple things that are required!
So what resource did Otelia use to “wipe the slate clean” and refocus?
I’ve added a little poll feature to my blog, and I’m hoping you can give me some input. So, I’ve created a little poll to ask your opinion about the most common information requests I receive here at InternetMLMPro.com.
You can choose up to three answers, but please only choose the answers that interest you (i.e. if you are only interested in one of the choices, please choose just the one). I’ll let you know in about a week what the results of the poll are, and what I can do to help answer some questions.
Here is the Poll:

That was the subject line of an email I received today…
But you really need to hear, as Paul Harvey says, “the rest of the story”!
So, I was attending the annual parent-teacher conference for my oldest son. Who by the way is doing exceptionally well! Am I a proud Dad or what?
When I got back in my car after the conference I whipped out my iPhone to see what new email had arrived while I was busy at the conference - yes I am addicted, so leave me alone.
While I was in the conference, I received an email from my Network Marketing company saying that I had just enrolled a new member.
Now, the important thing to understand is that I had never spoken personally with this individual. I had never sent them any email other than what was already loaded in my autoresponder. And yet, this individual still joined my business!
This is what I call leverage! Forget about all that stuff your upline keeps telling you is leverage - junk like buying leads and bothering your friends and family…
If you are ready to embrace the internet, generate your own leads, make money from these leads even if they never join your team AND recruit at the push of a button, maybe you need a new direction.
A team that supports the use of technology and has a proven system in place ready for you to plug into, a team that encourages you to build the business of “You” - and enjoy the profits outside of our primary business, while all the time building our team for the future residual income it offers.
If you are ready for a new direction, here is how to get started - Click Here!
Many times when doing consultation calls with clients they will say something like this:
“You are so lucky to know how to use the internet to build your business…”
Or
“You are so lucky to have a growing team…”
Whenever I hear statements like these I am reminded of a professional golfer name Gary Player. Gary was a top player back in the 70’s, in fact he won 9 majors - and 3 masters - this guy was top rated.
Many of the commentators called him “diminutive” - he was smaller than many of the other players. So how did he do so well on the links?
Simple - he worked harder than anyone else. He was always practicing, excersising and working on his game. He simple out hustled everyone else on the course, before he stepped onto the tee-box.
In the U.S. Open he hit an incredible 5 iron shot and landed the ball right next to the pin and sunk it. The commentators said “Gary, unbelievable, you got so luck.” Here is how he responded….
“It seems the harder I work, the luckier I get.”
I love this statement - in fact it is one of those statements that I keep posted next to my computer.
It really is true - outside of a very few “lucky” people that win the lottery - successful people became succesful by working extremely hard!
So how does this relate to your network marketing business? Simple - get started doing something. Just because you are in network marketing, it is no magic bullet to wealth and success. You simply have to work, put your head down and get busy, and massive MLM success will come your way.
Then people will say to you “you are so lucky”…and you will simply smile and remember this story.
On Tuesday I will be starting a 20 week challenge documenting this program - be sure to watch for my video and blog post on Tuesday! You can check this out as a free member RIGHT NOW! => Ad-Ventures4U
