Website Traffic…Why You Want It, What Kind to Strive for, and How to Get It!

In the offline world, the big thing is and has always been 3 words for success…location, location, location.  Remember hearing that?

Well online theirs is no location.  Your website is floating around somewhere in cyberspace, and so to get people to come to you, you must do the things necessary to either direct them to you, or to get in front of where they are looking in the first place for the information that you’re providing.

Of course, the best place to be is always where they’re looking in the first place right?  This way you don’t have to be chasing…you are actually right where they’re looking. Essentially, you’re being chased.

It’s common sense to think that the more traffic/visitors that you get to your website, the better your chances are for success.  That is mostly true, but the thing that you really want to focus on is getting targeted visitors to your sites.  In other words, you want the people who are most likely to purchase your products, or join your opportunities.  So, in other words, massive traffic is nice, but laser focused targeted trafficis even better. I’d much rather have 2,000 people who are looking to join a network marketing opportunity come to my sites than people looking for a networking solution for their companies computer system.  See the difference?

The key to getting targeted traffic is by use of keywords.  Keyword research is key to getting pinpoint targeted visitors to your site.  It’s like the difference between having a taco stand on a glacier in Alaska, or a taco stand on the highly trafficked corner of Sunset and Vine in Hollywood, CA.  Where do you think you’d sell more tacos?   That is unless Eskimos and polar bears eat tacos I guess.  But you get the point.

There are two primary ways to get traffic online.  Free or Paid.  That’s the main breakdown, but it goes even further than that.  With paid search there is PPC (pay-per-click) traffic , there are banner ads, you can pay to simply place your ad on someone else’s website, there are ezine ads, solo-ads in ezines, co-registration, lead buying, etc.  Of those pay per click is definitely the most popular and widely used, and when used correctly most effective.

Of course free traffic is the best that there is in most people’s minds, especially if you’re just starting out. (There are those in the PPC world who would disagree with that notion though since they’re having huge great success with paid traffic).

Free types of traffic include SEO traffic (search engine traffic), article marketing, traffic from signature files in forum posts, blog posts, and other places where you’re allowed to make comments, there’s social networking traffic, and then there’s also Joint venture and affiliate traffic (assuming that you have your own product with an affiliate program of course).

Of those the one to strive for is definitely SEO traffic, but this takes time to put into place, and depends on a well optimized website in most cases.  Yet, the time that you spend can be well worth it in the long run considering that when someone goes to a search engine such as Google (the biggest there is with about 65% of all search traffic), and they type in the keyword or search phrase that you’re listed under, they  are distinctly looking for exactly what you’ve got.  That’s the ultimate way to get yourself right in front of them.

Regardless of which type you use, paid or free, the key is that you want targeted searchers coming to your sites.  Using the right keywords again is how you do that.  There are a number of tools out on the market for you to use to do keyword research, with probably the best being Google’s own keyword tool.

There’s not enough space here for me to write all that entails when it comes to website traffic, but hopefully this article has given you a more clear idea on the type of traffic that YOU want to aim for, and that fits your monetary and time budget best right now.

No matter what, the more you learn about getting targeted traffic to your website, the greater your chances are for massive success.

Monetization…How to Make More from Your Website Visitors…

When it comes to making money in internet marketing, there are numerous ways in which you can do so.  Though you probably have your primary reason for being online, and a product, service, or opportunity that your trying to make money with, it’s important that you realize not only how to actually get people to buy your stuff, but that there are other ways to make extra money by using the same resources that you’re putting online already.

If you’re trying to sell your service online, then you must know that it’s essential for you to know how to either know how to write sales copy, or know that if you don’t you should be looking to hire someone who does.  There’s really no getting around it what so ever.  The amount of money that you make online is nearly directly correlated with your sales message…and your sales process.

Your process is very important because you need to have a sales funnel to put people through.  You see online, things are a little bit different than if you had a regular brick and mortar business on the street.  This is because of the trust issue involved.  People need to be exposed to you a little bit more in order for them to trust you.

I talked about Branding yourself online in a previous post that you can read here…

…but the point is that you must have a sales system (sometimes called funnel) put into place in order to do so.

The absolute best way to do this is by capturing the information of your website visitors.  In fact I would say that it’s almost crucial if you’re looking to massively succeed online at all.  If you’ve studied internet marketing for any period of time now, you’ve surely heard that the money is in the list.  Well, that’s precisely what that means.  It means that you capture the name and email address (or more, but at least the email address) of your website visitors so that you can send messages to them over and over.

What does this do?

It gets them used to you.  If you do it correctly it lets them get to know you.  It allows you to build trust with them overtime.

Another thing that it does though is it gives you a chance to try and sell to them again if they don’t buy the first time.  Plus, it let’s you be able to sell other things to them as an affiliate so that you can at least earn money off of those people who don’t buy YOUR product.

This also does another thing which is really important.  It conditions them to buy from you.  Once they’ve made a small purchase from you once, and you’ve delivered (even if it wasn’t your own product by the way) then you’ve built a trust with them that will make it easier for you to sell them on something else…hopefully something a little bit more expensive.

So you definitely want to be collecting your visitors information as much as possible.  You do this by putting a form on your page, and using an auto-responder service.  The one I prefer is Aweber because it’s the most popular and it’s very easy to use.  More importantly, they have one of the best deliverability rate in the industry, which means that more messages get through the spam filters.

There are other ways to monetize your sites though…

You can use Adsense, which is a program through Google that allows you to put relevant ads that people have paid to place on your sites, and so every time someone click one of those ads, you get paid. It’s not always a huge amount, usually cents rather than dollars, but overtime this adds up.  Not to mention the fact that if someone is going to click away from your site anyways, you may as well get paid for it right?

Other ways is to actually let people pay you to have their ad on your site either weekly, or monthly.  This usually requires that you have a site with high traffic, but not always.  If you can prove that you’re getting very highly targeted traffic then many people will be willing to still place there ad on your site, and pay you to do so.

There are tons and tons of ways online to make money, and many people don’t tap into them enough.  If you use the traffic funnel system that I’ve spelled out for you here, and you use some of the monetization systems that are out there like Adsense, you’ll soon start seeing your site earning money from more of your visitors than ever before.

Your Own Virtual Real Estate… and How to Use it To Brand Yourself Online

In a previous article on internet marketing we talked a lot about how you should begin, and the mistakes that most people make online that you should do everything to avoid.  So you should know that slapping up an ugly website, and hoping people will come is a failing strategy nearly every time.

I also talked about how you should consider your prospective customer or business partner depending on your industry, and why you should carry on less about yourself and really focus on them.  Well, this article is going to touch on how you SHOULD use your websites and the internet to brand yourself and your name.

It’s going to show you how to get people to notice you and begin to recognize you as an authority in your industry or niche.

Now, let’s not get confused here.  You see, I believe that most people have this intention from the very beginning and that’s why they do make that first mistake of going on and on about themselves on their websites.  But that’s not how you establish yourself as an authority.

Let’s look at it from the reader’s point of view!  Actually, let’s look at it from your point of view but from the other side of the coin.

Let’s say you were looking for a person to build you a house on a new piece of property that you’d just bought.  Of course you would shop around right for the building who you thought would do the best job.  So let’s say you go to the first person and he starts to tell you how great he is, and how he builds the best houses there are.  How everybody loves him, and how if he builds your house that you can’t go wrong.  He may even tell you that he’s been building houses for 20 odd years.  Wow!  Impressive…or is it?

Let’s say the next guy you go to sits you down in his office, and pulls out a large catalog of all of the houses that he’s built for other people.  But while he’s showing you these houses he’s telling you all about the process of building homes, and why he did the things that he did to each house to make each structure more solid, to make each window more secure so that you lose less heat in the winter and less cool air in the summer.

If he went through and educated you on all of this stuff, and really laid it out there for you, without ever…not once…saying how great he thought he was…tell me, which guy would you trust and want to work with the most.  The guy who talked obsessively about himself, or the guy who showed you why he does things the way he does, and how if he did those same things for you your house would be more secure and you’d save tons of money?

I think we know the answer to that question pretty easily.

You see him as an expert now because he’s shown you he was an expert, not told you so.

On the internet it takes a lot more to get someone to trust you because it’s not a face to face meeting.  Therefore, you have to prove in other ways that you’re a real person, and that you’re knowledgeable.

Now just proving that you’re a real person goes a long way in branding yourself as well.  That’s why you should always have a picture of yourself on all of your websites…on everything that you do online.  You see people are actually very afraid of the anonymity of the internet…because they’ve heard horror story after horror story about people getting ripped off.  You probably have too right?

So you need to prove to people right off the bat that you are a real person.  The way to do that is with pictures of yourself, videos of yourself (which is really easy to do these days) and even audio of yourself.

You need to have a quick and easy way for people to contact you.  Give your phone number, your email address, and even Skype profile if you have it.  If not you should get it.

You also need to always remember to educate your prospects and prove to them that you’re an expert, not just tell them that you’re one.

Keeping these things in mind will set you so far apart from your competition that eventually you’ll have to do less work, to get many more customers simply for the trust factor.

What is PPC, Why It’s Useful for You, and What You Should Know Before You Start?

So you keep hearing about this PPC thing and you’re wondering what the heck it is.  Every time you try to get some kind of information about online/internet marketing you get to this word, and the guru’s write it like you’re supposed to know what the heck PPC means.

First of all it’s not plastic pipe.  That’s PVC.

PPC stands for Pay-Per-lick.  This is a type of advertising where your small ad goes onto a website and you pay only when someone clicks on your ad (hence, the phrase pay-per-click.)

It’s actually a genius thing and has made many people fortunes over and over again, but it’s also cost people fortunes that they really didn’t have in the first place.  How does this happen?

Well, with Pay-Per-Click you can really get handed your head very fast if you don’t know what you’re doing.  There are certain techniques, strategies, rules, and just a way of doing things that you should educate yourself on before taking part.

But don’t let that scare you away from it, because it’s one of the most effective ways of advertising that there are in the world.  Never before has there been a form of advertising where you can so quickly see results (sometimes within 5 minutes) and be able to tweak so easily your ads in order to make them increasingly convert at higher rates.

So now you’ve got an idea of what PPC is, now you may be wondering what it looks like exactly.  The fact is you’ve probably seen a zillion times on your online quest for information.  If you’ve ever been to Google, and typed in a search term, then you’ve likely seen the ads that run on the right hand side.  On Google these ads are called Adwords.

[Google is probably the most popular, widely used, and effective places for utilizing PPC but there are literally thousands of places online that use this form of advertising that should not be overlooked, such as Yahoo, MSN, Kanoodle, and various others.]

So once you’ve typed in your term, and your results show up, on the right hand side of the search results there are usually between 8 and 10 ads in a vertical row.  These are the Adwords.

The way it works is that when someone wants an ad on Google they literally bid on different keywords.  So let’s say that you were a freelance writer, and you wanted to market your services online.  You would then go to Google’s Adwords back-office and bid on the term “freelance writer” (plus all the other words that have to do with that service, but for simplicity we’ll use just one term for now).

So then you would decide how much you want to pay each time someone clicks on your ad, leading them to your site about your writing services.  Now, depending on your bid amount, this determines which place you’re in on that row of ads, as well as what page.  So basically the higher the bid, the higher you’ll be.  So the highest bidder would likely be in the first position.

Now here’s where people lose their shirt however, because there is much more to it than this.

You see there are various factors that determine your placement besides price, and the biggie is quality score.  This is Google’s way of keeping things relevant – so basically more relevant your ad is with your webpage, then the higher your quality score – which allows you to be placed higher.

Another factor is what’s called your “click thru rate” or CTR.

This is determined by the percentage of people who go to the page with your ad and click on it.  Usually a fair quality score is any above 2% which means 2 out of every 100 people that land on the page with your ad clicks it.  Now depending on the content of your ad, your conversion can go up astronomically, as well as the relevancy of your ad.

You see there are a few very important factors when it comes to PPC advertising, but once you figured them out then the world is your oyster and your business can quickly grow faster than you’ve ever imagined.

But it is important that you take the time to learn about PPC and all the little intricacies that go along with.

Social Networking: Why It’s Changing the Internet Marketing Game and How to Use it To Your Advantage…

There’s a bit of a new buzz phrase online right now that everyone seems to be talking about. The phrase is Social Networking or sometimes called Web 2.0.  This refers to sites that let users correspond almost directly with one another through various methods online, and through different applications.  It sort of involves instant messaging, forums, etc. all in one place.

Of course you’ve heard about Myspace and that would be what most people know about social networking, but that’s only touches on a very small percentage of the scope.  It expands very broadly beyond that.

The important thing is that though social networking does get hyped up a bit, it can be extremely effective in getting your marketing message out there, and also helping you get your website into the search engines.  It’s a bit of a two-fold benefit and I’ll explain why.

First of all, the online world has moved in this direction basically in response to all the crap that was crowding the online world.  Stagnant websites were basically clogging up the internet and nobody was getting much use out of them.  People were being bombarded with highly irrelevant messages and never being able to find what they needed, when they needed it.

It was quite tragic because we had this great tool in our hands and it was starting to get ruined.

The answer to that was Web 2.0 sites, which let people – internet users – help each other decide what was actually useful online and what wasn’t.  It also gave people a platform of their own to display their value, and project their opinions freely.

All sorts of information can be and is shared through social networking… from re-connecting with friends, recommending new music, new movies, great books, political news that’s up to the minute, and all sorts of other things.

Granted, the whole Web 2.0 phenomenon was created to get rid of useless advertising but when done correctly it’s very effective to put your advertising in front of people in a way that doesn’t insult or annoy, but is deemed as highly useful.

In a separate post I explain why content is king online and how to most effectively advertise online by being more discreet, and providing information that people want rather than try to shove your marketing message down their throat.  This is one of the great reasons that Social Networking is great for exactly this use.

But there’s another important reason as well…

You see, since Google’s main purpose to exist is to be relevant for people searching for information, and they’re constantly trying to give them the exact information that they’re looking for right now… they actually LOVE the social networking sites for that very reason.

They love up-to-date highly relevant information and that’s precisely what web 2.0 sites offer, and therefore will reward these sites rather quickly with high search engine placements.

Now like everything in life, Social Networking and Web 2.0 aren’t limited to one single aspect. There are many different types of sites that qualify as being apart of the Web 2.0 phenomenon.  These include sites for actually networking like Myspace, Facebook,  Flickr, and even dating sites like Adult Friend Finder.

Then there are different bookmarking sites which allow users to post intriguing web pages and articles and rate them online at certain sites like Digg, Technorati, Zimbio, etc.

There are also blogging sites that allow you to post articles as well as a profile of yourself like Squidoo, Hubpages, Gather, Blogger, etc.

There are many forms of social networking and the key to taking advantage of them is to learn how to inter-connect them all to one another so that you control your own network of information, and therefore direct the user/reader from what site of yours to the next.

When you’ve mastered this…or even gotten pretty good at it…you’ll begin to see your messages taking on lives of their own and creating a stir across the internet!

Don’t be fooled into thinking that Social Networking is for the kids.  Use it to your advantage while still respecting the other internet users and it’s a win/win situation.

Attraction Marketing: How to Attract Prospects to You, Rather Than Chasing Them…

With nearly everything in life there are two ways to do something… the easier way or the harder way.

More often than not the easier way pretty much correlates to the most efficient and effective way.  I suppose this isn’t the absolute 100% truth and that sometimes the easier way isn’t the most effective — but the lazier way — but for the most part the easier way usually wins the game.

Network marketing is no exception and therefore there is an easier way and a harder way to market for prospects.  These are made up of either chasing or attracting prospects.  Which would you say would be the easiest?

Let’s just start with the harder way.  Chasing!  Chasing anything anytime is never easy or very much fun.

Tell me this…is it easier to go out and chase your food and kill it or is it easier to just go to the store and buy it.  It might be a bit of a stretch but you could almost say that the delivery drivers are bringing the food to you.  Sure, you still have to drive to the store and pick it up, but essentially it’s brought to your store, that you like, and that’s easiest for you to get to.

How about in the dating world?  Clearly we’d all rather have members of the opposite sex, hopefully intriguing ones, approach us rather than having to go out and try to pick them up.  Wouldn’t you say that’s true?

Well, in network marketing, the best and most effective way to market for prospects is clearly to have them come to you instead of you having to chase them around.  Now this may seem a bit impossible at this point in your career, but let me assure you that it’s totally and completely possible.

You see there are tons of people out there in the world at this very minute actively looking for an opportunity to make more money and/or start their own business.  In fact, there are tons of people actively looking to start a network marketing business.

You may not think that because the common model of talking to family, friends, and neighbors requires that you chase prospects that haven’t shown an inkling of interest in your business.

This can be a great way to build your business, and my wife and Ann and I have built two entirely separate fortunes this exact way, but if you’re not careful it can lead you to believe that these are the only choices you have, and there aren’t any people actually looking.  But there are, each and every single day.

So the key of attraction marketing is to get these people to come to you instead of you coming to them right?  So how do you do that?

It’s important to know what your prospect is looking for.

Sure… they want more money and you do have a way for them to make that, but that’s only a small piece of the puzzle. Think of yourself when you’ve looked for an opportunity to make more money.

What did you look for?

You probably looked for information on how to earn more money right?  You may have looked for information on how to start your own business.  What you were ultimately looking for was a teacher.

You were looking for the teacher by first searching for the message.  You wanted information, but when you find that information… high quality content driven information – NOT a SALES PITCH – you then want to learn more from the person who provides that information.  You wanted more of that person.

You were attracted to that person right?

So then, if you want to attract prospect through attraction marketing you simply need to learn to reverse that system.  You know that people are looking for information so you simply must be the conduit to that information, and build trust within that person that you hold what they need right now…the knowledge to make more money.

Once you’ve done that, you’ve become highly attractive and valuable to that individual.  That’s attraction marketing and it’s pretty darn simple.

Build My Lens Review…If You’re Using Squidoo, then You Want to Use Build My Lens

If you’re marketing online at all then you’ve probably heard about Squidoo.  Squidoo is one of the fastest growing communities online, and in fact it was the 7th fastest growing site online in 2007.  That’s out of billions of websites online today, so that’s no easy task.

But what the heck is Squidoo, besides a site with a funny name.  Squidoo.com is in essence a combination of social networking a blogging, that when combined creates a very powerful concept for promoting your products, services, and even more importantly… your websites.

You see, because of its massive size, Squidoo is seen by Google (the number one search engine in the world) as being an authority site. In other words, Google looks very highly on Squidoo…and a fact that proves that even further is the page rank 7 that Google gives it. It takes a lot of authority to get that high a page rank in Google…7 out of 10.

So basically, with Squidoo… you’re able to create your own page with them, on the topic of your choice. These web pages very often will rank in Google very quickly on their first page if things are done right.

In all honesty, Squidoo does make it pretty simple for the average person to come in and create a site with them.  There’s no doubt that you could go right now, and pretty much have something up within an hour.  The problem though is that if you want all of the benefits that Squidoo can give you…which is huge authority for your sites, and the potential of a ton of traffic, there are a lot of certain steps that you must take to do so.

This is the part that isn’t easy.  This is the part that very few people know all of the in’s and out’s, nuts and bolts about.  There’s keyword research, tags, content that needs to be added correctly, different modules, pinging, bookmarking, linking, etc. etc.  Yes, you can easily create a Squidoo Lens (what they call their sites) but doing so without all of the other things is almost like creating a website and not doing the things that it takes to get traffic to it.

What I’ve done in the very recent past to solve this problem is hired two of the leading authorities on building Squidoo Lenses to just go ahead and build my lenses for me, and I reap all of the benefits of the traffic and the extra branding that they give me.  They even have taught me how to keep up with my Lenses after they were made.

Tiffany Dow is one of the leading authorities on internet marketing today.  Her name might be new to you, but to most of the big shot millionaire internet marketers she’s an old friend, and colleague.  Tiffany was once THE most prominent ghostwriters to the internet marketing guru’s for a very long time until she decided to use her knowledge and venture out on her own.  And venture out she’s done very successfully.

In fact Tiffany wrote the book on Squidoo, with her first big break out product “Social Networking on Squidoo”.  In her book she shows the average person how to create Squidoo lenses that work like crazy to get traffic and customers.

She’s teamed up with another genius marketer and master Squidoo Lens builder named Lewis Smile…here’s just a little bit of Lewis’ Squidoo background…

“Lewis’ Squidoo Stats

Lewis is the author of the fast-growing SquidooCool.com blog. He’s a Citizen Squid Alumni (one of the 6 original lensmasters chosen by Squidoo HQ to work on secret Squidoo projects). He is also a retired SquidAngel (one of the 12 human elements of the Squidoo algorithm).

He has achieved Lens of the Day THREE TIMES, which is more than anyone else, so he knows exactly what it takes to make a great lens. In total, his lenses have spent over 600+ days in the Top 100 LensRank list, and he has achieved the elusive Lensrank 1.

And he has created over 500 lenses and groups across various Squidoo accounts, so he’s no stranger to the ‘Create a Lens’ button! Lewis is also a Giant Squid. Oh, and he recently won the ‘I Love Squidoo’ competition.

So he’s DEFINITELY someone you want in your corner when you’re carving out your piece of the Squidoo pie…!”

That’s the information on Lewis from his and Tiffany’s site called Build My Lens!

This is the site where, when you want a supercharged/super powered lens built with two of the foremost experts on the Squidoo, you go and you have them build your lens for you and sit back and watch the amazing results.

I’ve used Tiffany’s and Lewis’ services many times over and each time have seen tremendous results.  If you’re thinking about using Squidoo, and you want it done right by professionals then you need to go now and check them out and see why they’re the one’s that you want building your lens for you.

Magnetic Sponsoring: A Review of Mike Dillard’s Popular Product!

It’s baffling sometimes to see when somebody just gets it, and goes on to recruit so many people in a month that it makes your head spin.  It’s even more baffling when they do it in a way where people come to them for their business and not he other way around.

There’s a bit of a storm brewing right now between the old school network marketers and the new school network marketers.  You see the new guys don’t particularly care for the old school ways of going after friends and family as prospects for their business.

Now I’ll be completely blunt with you because that’s how I am.  I’m from the Bronx so I really know no other way.

My wife Ann and I are old school network marketers and frankly we’ve built a fortune by using many of the old school network marketing techniques.  The reason is because we knew that these techniques worked because that’s what so many before us had done to create their fortunes.  Being an entrepreneur since the age of 12, with my first paper route where I had 2 employees working for me already, I know that following a system that works is the best way to create wealth…so that’s what Ann and I did, and we used our warm market to do so.

However with that being said, I also know that when you refuse to change…when you’re rigid and not flexible in your ways you tend to break.  There are many old school network marketers who refuse to change and that’s fine.  I understand that adapting to change like the internet and taking advice from young men who have found an easier way for themselves is crucial to survive.  But I’m not one who likes to try to survive…

I like to THRIVE!

Well, one guy that I will gladly follow and learn from when it comes to the new ways of marketing, and actually creating a different kind of warm market where people approach you is Mike Dillard.


Mike is one of those typical stories of someone who really wanted success in MLM badly, but stumbled around blindly for sometime before hitting his stride.

Through tons of research, hard work, and persistence that most people would collapse under Mike figured out a much better way and figured out a system of attraction marketing that works so well that people actually nearly beg to learn more from YOU about your business.   But the best part is that you make money whether they join you or not the way Mike has created this system and not only that…

These people are willing to follow you to any opportunity that you’re in because they want to work and be around you.  This is magnetic attraction marketing at it’s finest…and though I don’t agree with much of the new ways of thinking of not using the warm market and trying to run a business only online, I’ve come to discover something about Mike.

He’s not trying to get away from the old ways of using the warm market…he’s simply figured out a way to create a new kind of warm market of prospects actually standing in line to join YOU and your opportunity.  But he actually has a way of turning these people into warm market prospects.

Mike uses various techniques to do this that in my estimate most network marketers haven’t a clue about in his Magnetic Sponsoring program.

Here’s the deal…I don’t agree with most folks who are just trying to avoid the warm market out of fear and lack of action…but I do believe in a guy like Mike Dillard who creates a brand new way to prospect and create a new warm market.

Go here now and see exactly what Mike Dillard is doing with Magnetic Sponsoring…

The Renegade Network Marketer Review: For Those Who’ve Tried Everything With Little to No Success!

You may or may not have heard me mention in previous posts how I feel about the new way of conducting a network marketing business.  It seems that all the rage nowadays is to totally blow off the warm market, and start producing your own leads through various methods on the internet.

My take on that is pretty clear because of the way that my wife Ann and I have built our warm market and how we see people every single day using their warm market to build their business by huge amounts.  In fact, we just saw a couple from Nigeria use their warm market to sponsor 48 new people in about a month.

So my feelings about the new warm market are obvious.

However that doesn’t mean that I’m against people who find a better way to run their business.  Listen, times are changing and the internet is a phenomenon like nothing every before seen, and so if there’s a way to use it as a tool then it’s definitely worth taking the time to learn to do that.  In fact, that’s what I have done.

Whoever said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks hasn’t met me.


I keep up to date with all the new tactics of MLM recruiting constantly.  I consult with some of the best internet marketing minds in the world and stay right on the cutting edge of technology using search engine optimization, social networks, PPC, all that good stuff.

But if you just go out there with the shotgun approach chances are that you’re going to come up short on your recruiting efforts.

You must have a plan to follow.  You must have a process in which to go about things to make your efforts as effective as humanly possible.

Ann Sieg is a young lady who’s become a force to be reckoned with in MLM.  Her recruiting style that she shares in “The Renegade Network Marketer” has not only helped skyrocket her business, and built her a fortune, but it’s helped countless others skyrocket their sponsoring efforts as well.

Not only that, but in The Renegade Network Marketer you actually learn to fund your business from the get go, and make money even when someone doesn’t join your business opportunity. That’s pretty powerful and if you want to see profits extremely fast that’s definitely the way to go.

I would be a fool not to recognize that Ann Sieg has put together something very special and very effective, especially for the new Network Marketer just starting out today.

Now do I still believe that you should use the huge resource that you have at your fingertips…your warm market…to get your business off to a strong start.  Yes, most definitely!

But if you just simply don’t want to share your opportunity with your warm market, and you are adamant that you want to conduct the bulk of your business online, then there’s very few programs that I can recommend more than Ann Sieg’s Renegade Network Marketer.
It’s a superb first choice for anyone who wants to create attraction marketing, and have people chasing you instead of the other way around. I also recommend Mike Dillard’s “Magnetic Sponsoring” for this as well.  Both in my opinion are equally as good, and can actually compliment each other quite effectively.

Go now to check out The Renegade Network Marketer and just look at the testimonials and what other people have done with Ann Sieg’s system.

Site Build It…How to Build a Website the Right Way!

It’s amazing how so many people get it wrong online. In another post on this blog I talked about internet marketing in general…you can find that article here.  In this article I talk about how most websites online are atrocious.  They’re plain ugly and they serve no real purpose for anybody, neither the reader nor the website owner.

You see, it’s important that when it’s time for you to build your website…which was yesterday, that you do it correctly.

The problem is that you probably don’t have a clue where to even begin building your site… am I correct?  You don’t know what the heck “HTML” is and you really don’t want to, you don’t know how to FTP, or how to upload anything.  Hosting is something that you do at a party as far as you’re concerned… and buying a domain is scary enough, but pointing your domain servers toward your hosting account…Ughh!!

If you do ever figure all that out, then you’ve still got to design the darn thing and create the content that goes on it.  Because what you want to do is brand yourself online and doing this wrong way can mean dismal results for your efforts.

STOP!!

Can I just tell you that you’re getting all stressed out for no reason at all, and if you’ve let the fact of building a website hold you back from success online then you need to realize that there’s a simple solution for you that actually takes care of nearly everything for you.

That solution is called SiteBuildIt!

Now what you need to know is that SiteBuildIt! is not going to do everything for you.  It’s not going to generate content for you, it’s not going to put your content online for you.  You’re going to do this, because that’s how it should be.  It’s your website, and you need to add a personal touch of your own, but you don’t want to get it wrong.

What SiteBuildIt! is, is it’s a solution.  It helps you with all of the above that you were agonizing over and makes it an easy streamline process, and walks you through every little bit of it.  Even if you know nothing about how to build a website…nothing at all…site build it gives you the tools and the exact…most efficient process…of getting this done yourself, and have a very polished and professional looking website at the end as result.

But, Ken Evoy, the guy who created SiteBuildIt! knows something about you. He knows that the technical side of things can be learned quite easily once you start the process.  But what takes a lot more effort and soaking in is the sales process itself…as well as the creative process that helps you create all of the brilliant content that goes onto your site.

Not only that, but Ken Evoy knows about selling.  He knows about using the written word to direct people to do what you want them to do on your site.

This is part of what he reveals to you during the entire process of giving you the tools and know-how of creating your website.

He also knows that traffic is the key to your website producing any results what-so-ever, and the SiteBuildIt! system has that all built in it, so that your site begins to get indexed in search engines quickly, but importantly in a way that they remain there.

Site Build It is not a tool that’s a set it and forget solution.  Not at all, in no way what-so-ever.  What it is though is THE ONE TOOL that I can recommend best to help you get your site up the RIGHT WAY, with the best chance of making sells, converting prospects into customers, and converting home based business seekers into business partners.

If you’re ready to stop with the excuses, and finally get all the knowledge that you need in once place for building your site, then SiteBuildIt! is exactly what you need.

I recommend it 100%~
