Why Empower Network Is NOT For You

Alex — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 21:05:58 +0000

From the Desk of David Wood: Empower Network Co-Founder & CEO

Look, if you’re here, on this post right now – it’s for one reason.

You’re wondering if you should join Empower Network.

Maybe you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, in the background, waiting – and maybe, just maybe you just ran into us right now.

Let me be honest, and up front, because the truth is, Empower Network is not for everyone. If you’re reading this, it might not be right for you.

Empower Network is NOT for you if you …

Want a ‘Get Rich Quick’ scheme.

Although I definitely believe that by applying certain skill sets, you can ‘get rich quicker’ than inferior ways of making money, the truth is – you’ve got to work your butt off, even with a great system, great tools, great products, and a great company.

You might fall on your face, fail for a while, struggle a bit, and experience pain – and if you quit without applying what you learn, you might not make any money at all.

The Fact? You WILL experience struggle if you want to make money on the internet.

It may not be immediately – maybe you’ll get in to Empower Network, and make $10,000 your first month.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a struggle of learning new skills, facing a little rejection, or going through a ‘rough patch‘ – Empower Network is NOT for you if you’re not willing to face some pain in your life, and overcome it.

Empower Network is NOT for you if you …

Want everything to be perfect before you start.

I have a core philosophy, and that is to break things, and innovate.

The fact is, if we’re perfect – we can’t grow.

The beauty in life happens in the pain of change, and Empower Network is a grass roots movement.

Part of being ‘grass roots’ is getting aches and pains, and growing stronger through the fire. Real entrepreneurs understand that the greatest opportunity lies in the wake of innovation.

Empower Network is NOT for you if you …

Are not prepared to put in the work.

Empower Network has a strict ‘no wussies allowed’ policy. What exactly is a wussy? It’s someone that blames the world for the problems that they create in life, and doesn’t persevere through challenge.

No whining, no complaining, if you want to be here in Empower Network.

We are here to Empower your vision, not to do it for you.

If you take personal responsibility for your own results – you’ll LOVE the culture at Empower Network. If you love to blame others, we’ll probably make you mad when we call you a ‘wussy’.

If you want to succeed – work hard, and take responsibility!

Ok, that’s who Empower Network is NOT for.

Empower Network IS for you if you …

Have an entrepreneurial mindset.

People who want to innovate, and be on the front lines of growth in the marketing world are automatically attracted to the culture we have at Empower Network. We have a ‘No B.S.’ attitude, that has carried us through two MASSIVE hurdles and helped us do more than $4.2 million in sales in our first 140 days, and triumph through the struggle.

Who is a real entrepreneur?

Someone who is ready to tackle a challenge, someone who wants to grow, and learn WHILE doing. We need to get rid of this ‘get perfect before we try’ attitude, and ATTACK our problems head on, with the ferocity of a wild Lion. Like Bruce Lee, we like to ‘Attack the Attack’.

Empower Network IS for you if you …

Like RESULTS based marketing education.

At Empower Network, we only teach what we do ourselves.

All the way from the founders, we teach NOTHING that isn’t proven to create results.

Even if you don’t want to make money selling our training products, you won’t find a better education anywhere – either offline or online.

There is a reason for this, and it has to do with the third type of person.

Empower Network IS for you if you …

Want to make REAL MONEY when you sell stuff, and are sick of the rubbish.

The reason why our marketing education is so cutting edge is because our affiliate compensation model is attracting the best direct response marketers in the world. Why? Because they make more money selling our stuff, than anything they’ve ever sold before.

* Key: You still have to do the work, to generate traffic and create sales. We’ll help you. We’ll give you tools – however, your results are YOUR personal responsibility.

We get real marketers, getting results NOW to do all of our trainings at Empower Network, so you always have real, up to date, live strategies that work RIGHT NOW in the marketing world, rather than being trapped in the never ending cycle of product launches. If you buy our stuff – you don’t need ANYTHING else. Period.

We have the numbers to back that up. We publish average earnings statistics based on actual payouts and commissions, updated daily. We’re not afraid of what our people are earning, and some make no money at all.

If you fall into this ‘elite’ group, and you want to get results online, you may have one of the common objections to joining that I’m going to list below. I’m not going to answer everything, just the major ones.

Answers to Common Objections to joining Empower Network

Objection #1:

Empower Network is just another ‘Attraction Marketing System’ – I tried that! Or, I’m already in a system!

The Facts:

Empower is not in competition, or even in the same niche as ‘Attraction Marketing’.

We are related to the niche, but not in it. What do I mean?

These kinds of companies provide systems and tools (good ones) to teach you how to create a totally branded funnel online – with your own videos, own face, own copywriting, and complete branded skill set.

We are not an ‘attraction marketing’ company – we are a direct response and personal development company.

Attraction Marketing teaches personal branding and personality marketing as the core of the message – and we teach conversions, response, direct marketing, and profit margins.

Although we teach the concepts that will allow you to do this when the time is right – we believe that it’s not the right thing for brand new marketers to be running around creating custom built sales processes.

Why?

They’re usually terrible at it for about 2 years before they get any results.

We teach people how to get results now by driving targeted traffic to a high converting, extremely profitable offer, and then using relationship marketing to create up sells and team sales and growth.

So, instead, we operate our business around sales funnels built by people who know how to sell stuff – and teach everyone how to operate within a system around that process.

Think of it this way – if Tony Robbins came to you and said: ”Here’s the deal – I’ll do the selling, make the funnels, do the up sells, close your customers, and build the process – and YOU can keep 100% of the commissions from product sales…”

Would you rather do the selling yourself? Exactly. He can do it better – so can we, and we have proof.

It works better for new people.

However, some people still want to create their own funnels, and they are free to do that.

I encourage new people not to, though, when they’re new.

Usually, they get significantly worse conversions than our sales funnels – that are built by people who know how to sell stuff. Later, when you’re making money, learning these things can be useful if you want to create your own company – but for the first year, or two, they will stop you dead in your tracks if you focus on it.

We’re targeting a wider audience – in the ‘Make Money’ niche, ‘Affiliate Marketing’ and generic ‘Work from Home’ and attract audiences from all of it.

My goal in forming this company was to create something that attracted and compelled the masses, not something that stayed in the Network Marketing niche – it’s one of the core reasons we’ve grown so fast. People who don’t even like MLM are attracted to the simplicity and speed of growth of the Empower Network model.

Attraction marketing companies are extremely valuable too, they just fall within a different market. We’re not even making a remote attempt to compete with them, we’re going after a different, bigger group – we’ve got a vision to put 250,000 customers in Empower Network in the next 12 months, something that’s not possible in such a narrow, focused niche.

Objection #2:

Internet marketing doesn’t duplicate!

Do home meetings???

The reason why people think this, isn’t because it’s true – it has to do with another objection that people usually have, and it’s an objection created by ‘Attraction Marketing.’

The objection is valid if you’re a traditional network marketer, but it doesn’t apply to Empower Network.

Why? Because Empower Network doesn’t teach attraction marketing.

We’re a direct response company, that handles front and back end sales conversions – and teaches people how to narrow their focus down to one skill: Getting Traffic.

The fact?

Getting Traffic is easy to teach if you take out the technical and management complications that drive the rest of the marketing niche.

Empower Network DOES duplicate, and we can prove it.

Look at the numbers – we’ve now existed for 140 days, and have more than 20,109 customers who have bought our blogging system. Does your offline team duplicate that fast? Probably not.

The fact is – it might – but saying that Internet Marketing can’t duplicate just isn’t true, when you look at the numbers.

The reason why internet marketing doesn’t duplicate, is because most people are trying to teach everyone to be gurus, not focus on basics that everyone can do.

We’ve solved that issue, and are growing faster than most actual, grass roots belly to belly network marketing companies. Again – is this true normally? Sure.

It actually makes a lot of sense why most belly to belly network marketing leaders keep their teams off of the internet – it’s a total disaster to duplication and growth, because it’s so damned complicated.

Here though, it doesn’t apply.

I’m actually going to speak at an event with Eric Worre who runs Network Marketing PRO, because Empower is the only system that has started online, that actually does duplicate the way that direct sales companies are supposed to.

I actually only know of one team, ever that has put in 20,109 active customers in 140 days in a traditional network marketing company. I know there are probably more, but it doesn’t happen very often. (keep in mind, that was through MASSIVE adversity – and we still did it). Empower Network grows fast because it’s simple, appealing, and the math works.

This is just the start.

Objection #3:

I already have a business! I’m so in love with my soap, it’s unreal!!!

This is the fun part. We don’t care. Sell whatever you want here.

Obviously, don’t be a moron, and spam your links in the comments – not only does it not work, but it makes you look dumb, too. As long as it’s honest and legal – you’re free to sell it here. Go for it.

That’s the beauty – we don’t care what you sell. We’ll help you learn to sell more of it.

I was on the phone with a VP of banking the other week – he said “Dave, this marketing can help ANYONE – I’m going to join this and recommend it to my clients as a way to enhance their marketing presence…”

There’s no better education in online marketing, period.

If you love your soap, vitamins, coins, or top tier deal – cool. Let’s help you learn to sell more of it, and in the process, help you create a ‘front end’ funnel that actually pulls in enough conversions and sales to pay for your whole marketing process.

Obviously, we have rules – respect them – but wherever you are, let’s take your success, and stretch it to a whole new level.

Objection #4:

Is this a pyramid scheme?

Lol. This one’s pretty rare, but still pops up from time to time.

There’s a core, simple differentiation between pyramid schemes and legitimate direct sales marketing companies – and that is:

1) Are commissions being paid for recruiting affiliates?

Of course, the answer is no. People in Empower Network only earn commissions when they sell a product to someone using it. There’s no ‘front loading‘ of any kind, and no required purchases.

(Of course – call me biased – I think you should just buy everything)

The difference with our affiliate model and others in the market place is that we payout 100% of the revenue from product sales in our commission structure. (Minus of course, normal processing fees – which vary depending on whether we are processing transactions and paying you, or you are using your own merchant account).

That means on a $500 sale, after the fees from a normal merchant account, all of it is paid to someone in the compensation model. Make a $500 sale – say your processing is 6% – that means you would keep $470. You don’t even have to develop the product, or manage it.

That’s pretty cool.

The best part? Every customer you bring in is coded to you for all future product sales in that compensation structure. So if they keep buying stuff – you keep getting the commissions from future things they buy.

See the ‘Getting Money’ tab for more info on how our affiliate compensation model works. It really is badass.

Why? Because I built this company to pay you the way I’ve always wanted to be paid as a lowly affiliate, in the trenches – and the best part? We’re marketing, and making sales with you, so if we tell you something is working – we know it is, because we’re doing it, too.

Sometimes, because we talk about money a lot, people don’t get how valuable our products are.

That’s ok, because they’re always blown away once they buy, and login to the actual training.

Objection #5:

That ‘getting everyone merchant accounts’ thing didn’t work!

You’re right, it didn’t. Part of being an entrepreneur, is trying things that other people think are risky and on the edge, and experimenting a little to fine tune your results.

I thought that getting tens of thousands of affiliates merchant accounts was a great idea – they could process their own transactions, and have people pay them for their sales.

The problem with the model is, it made banks a bit nervous – and rightly so – we brought in too many people too fast, and were a bit overwhelming. As the owners of Empower Network, it’s better if we take on the risk management of our own business, and that way – we can focus on YOU.

It was a great theory that failed. I can admit that.

Luckily, we now have a payment system in place where we will process transactions, and handle customer payments and affiliate payouts for you. You and your people don’t have to handle any customer information or transactions, so you can focus on making sales and driving traffic to our high converting offers.

The best part? It’s actually cheaper.

Most merchant accounts range from $30-$50 a month, plus per transaction fees. You can use our E-Wallet system for $19.95 per month, we’ll handle the customer information and keep the data safe, keep the customers happy, and then just pass our transaction fees on that we get, to you.

If you have a merchant account of your own, you can still use it for your own customer sales, you just don’t have to in order to work with us.

Personally – I like that, and our affiliates do, as well.

It’s stable, scalable, and allows us to personally work directly with our processor to make sure that our whole model is compliant and that we can be around for a long, long time. It frees us to focus on our products, make them better, and create a better company infrastructure. You’ll love it.

Objection #6:

Once you buy an Empower Network product – they’re always talking about buying more stuff!!!

Lol. Of course – like any great business, we want you to buy stuff that will benefit your business.

We built our sales model around a simple up sell process that I designed with David Sharpe based on the last 3 years of successful marketing. You have to think about this from two perspectives:

1. As a customer – would you rather that we were honest, and sold you everything that you needed to be successful in your business? Or would you rather that we were weak, and only sold you cheap, ineffective rubbish?

I’ll take quality over quantity every day of the week. At Empower Network, I believe that if you buy all of our marketing products, you literally don’t need any other information to succeed online. Period. I’m not afraid to tell you to buy stuff, right now that is going to benefit you in your business.

2. As an affiliate – would you rather that we helped you earn 100% commissions on only one product? Or did a GREAT job at selling your customers lots of products, that you also get all the commissions on?

Personally, I would love it if I sent a customer somewhere, they kept buying stuff – and I kept getting commissions. Our sales model has the highest up sell conversions that I’ve ever seen on the internet. Our sales leadership says the same thing.

In most affiliate companies – if you send them a customer, you might get the first commission. After that, though – it’s fair game. Anyone can steal the affiliate tracking on future upsells.

YOU gave them the customer!

At Empower Network, we value your business. See our compensation model (of course) to see the structure of the 100% payout on core product sales, and you’ll realize that there is LIFETIME value in sending us customers – and we have better sales conversions than anyone in the niche.

If you know how to drive traffic – we’re the best place in the world to send it, in my opinion.

Why do I say that? Because I’ve never made as much money sending traffic anywhere as our affiliates make sending traffic here – and I’m a danged super affiliate with a monster sized list. It really is just… gangster

Would you rather send a customer to someone who will make you send that person back to get another commission? Or have life time customer value?

You’ll REALLY value our up sell process if you refer a lot of business our way. Try it – send us 1,000 customers, and see how we do in helping you teach, train, coach, mentor, and help your people succeed in their business.

Objection #7:

I don’t want to do it!

That’s not an objection, it’s a preference. You’re welcome not to.

Some people want wussy, teenie weenie little 20% and 30% commissions, and like staying stuck in business and life.

Other people just want to work a job, and have one person at the head of their company boss them around, control their future, and control how much money they do, or don’t make.

Other people want to hassle with blog setup, technical infrastructure, making and creating sales funnels, and doing it all themselves. Others care about branding more than sales conversions, commission payouts, and the bottom line.

Other people just want a normal life – and think we’re a bit weird. They want to sit in a cubicle, get fat, and eat potato chips.

That’s fine – you’re welcome to do whatever you want in life, and I congratulate you for being honest.

However, if you’re ready to take massive action, learn REAL marketing skills, get real results, and decide to change your life…

… Welcome to Empower Network.

Just get in, already

We’re here to EMPOWER your success – and I’ll be damned if I don’t die trying to help make you into a better, richer, fuller human being – that reaches your unlimited, beautiful potential.

To YOUR Success,

Do You Suck At Internet Marketing? That’s OK … You Can Still Make $10k/Month With Empower Network

Alex — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:23:12 +0000

Empower Network holds nothing back as they reveal how even the worst internet marketers can still make $10,000 per month.

Sounds like a dream doesn’t it?

How much would you be prepared to pay to find out how you can join us in making $10,000 per month?

Think about that for just a minute. That’s $120,000 per year!

What would that knowledge be worth to you?

What would you say, if I told you that Empower Network holds the key to your online marketing success?

Would you believe me?

Or have you been burned so many times that it’s just easier to walk away and pretend Empower Network is not really here. In case it doesn’t really work for you.

But what if it did? What if you really could make money online like you told everyone you were going to do?

What if Empower Network really is the key to you making it?

I want you to think about where you are right now.

Then I want you to watch this:

Think About Where You Could Be

Everything you’ve been searching for is right here.

The numbers don’t lie.

Empower Network has paid out over $4,000,000 to 18,000 members in 4 months.

We’re in re-launch phase. When would now be a good time to just take a look?

Make Money Online In Your Underwear

Alex — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 04:54:10 +0000

Make Money Online ads flash and blink at me all trying to get my attention.

I remember the first time I went to the internet curious about how to make money online I felt completely overwhelmed. For some reason I had a pervading feeling of distrust. I couldn’t fathom what was real and what wasn’t.

I got caught up in product launch fever, technical overwhelm and guru groupie fan clubs.

I’ve spent approximately 1,560 hours swimming through a sea of “make money online” promises.

I’ve spent close to $20,000 investing in product launch after product launch, training, books, courses, software, hardware and marketing.

I’ve been lured by every shiny product on the subject of how to make money online you can imagine. Some of it still remains untouched!

I have felt that overwhelming feeling of dread in the middle of the night that I had made an awful mistake thinking I could make money online. Can you relate?

It’s hard to know who to trust isn’t it?

There’s so much information out there, all pulling you in different directions. And it always seems that no one is quite prepared to give you ALL the information you need to make money online. It always seems that there are a few pieces missing and that you can’t quite make it, until you invest in one more product.

I learned something really valuable not so long ago and it changed the way I do everything online. Everything the guru’s were telling me was keeping me stuck in a never ending cycle of poverty. What I learned was this:

The only way to make money online is to STOP buying stuff and START SELLING stuff.

And the major problem with that is, that on the whole, most of us are not sophisticated enough in the ways of internet marketing to create a product and launch it with any amount of success when we’re first getting started on the internet.

So then how do we make money online?

The answer is so blindingly simple. You sell someone else’s stuff.

But the problem with that is, you only get a pittance of the profits when you do that. So how can you make money online, and keep all the profits from what you sell if you’re not creating your own products?

You sell products that let YOU Keep ALL The MONEY.

I wish I had really understood this in the beginning … it would have saved me so much blood, sweat and tears.

The only reason you’re here, right now, is because you’re still looking for an honest, uncomplicated way to make money online that’s not all hocus pocus smoke and mirrors.

I don’t know what your situation is right now, but all I can say is this … I wish I had seen this when I first started out.

So shut the door, get rid of all distractions and open yourself to the possibility that this is the “Pandora’s Box” of how to make money online you’ve been searching for.

Everything I NOW know is documented in this short video.

So grab a pen, take a few notes and brace yourself for an “eye-opener” … you’ll see what I mean in the first few minutes … Here’s the Private Link.

I think you’ll need some time to digest what you’re about to see. The end may shock you a little, too. Just fair warning.

Once you’ve watched this to the end, all the technical overwhelm that is paralyzing you will disappear. All the confusion you’ve dealt with about how you should be spending your time in your business will be gone.

Here’s the Private Link again.

Take it, run with it … you’ll never look at another product launch again … you’ll be free of all of that and most importantly you’ll finally understand how simple it is to really make money online in your underwear.

Yours in Prosperity,

Alex and Erica

Will I Ever Make Money Online?

Alex — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 23:30:01 +0000

Make Money Online? Yeah Right!

This post goes out to anyone who has ever laid awake at night wondering if they’re ever going to make money online.

It seemed like such a good idea at the time didn’t it? You suspended all disbelief and jumped in full of enthusiasm.

You bought product after product that promised to deliver 13,421 leads in 13 days, 29 recruits into your network marketing opportunity in 30 days, and $10k/month in your pocket in less than 6 months, hoping that each product would deliver the secrets you were searching for and change everything.

If you don’t mind me asking, how many of those products actually delivered on their promises? And if they didn’t deliver, is it because the product didn’t deliver or you didn’t follow through?

I can’t tell you how many times I, myself laid awake wondering what an earth I had gotten myself into. It had gotten to the point where I nearly thought about pulling the plug. I had invested so much time and money into it and yet I wasn’t getting the results I had hoped for.

That was until I learned this lesson: The only way you’re ever going to make money online is when you STOP buying products that promise to teach you the “SECRETS” and START SELLING!!!

To make money online … that’s it in a nutshell.

So many people are looking for the secrets on how to make money online that they keep buying product launch after product launch hoping the secret is hidden in there somewhere. They learn all the skills taught, implement what was taught and when it doesn’t work, they go onto the next product launch.

Who’s making all the money here? Not you. You’re making everyone else rich! So quit that. Right now. Think about how you can make yourself rich!

I need to ask you another question – how much money would you need to make per month to really change your life? $3,000? $5,000? $10,000? How much would make a difference?

Let’s say $10,000 per month would make a difference – would you be interested in finding out how you can do that once and for all?

When you click here right now you’ll finally understand how to make $10,000 per month by actually selling products you own.

Never, ever buy a product that you can’t then on-sell to someone else. You want to make money online right? So only invest in products that you can then on-sell. If you don’t, then you’re only helping everyone else make money online. Got it?

If you want to be the success story that you keep reading about … the guy who couldn’t afford a pair of shoes, or lived off packet soup for 6 months or slept in a train station … and now drives a Mercedes, wears Armani and has 6 figures rolling in each month … if you want to be that guy … watch the video …

If you seriously want to know how to make money online you want to want to see this.

Over the past 4 months we’ve helped everyday people just like you make money online for the first time ever in their online career.

All I can say, without a shadow of a doubt is you absolutely need to get in and devour what’s waiting for you … when you click right here now it will all finally make sense. You will NEVER HAVE TO BUY ANYONE ELSE’S PRODUCT LAUNCH EVER AGAIN. I promise you. You can put your blinders on and just make money online like the Guru’s do.

You want to be that success story … Don’t You?

Empower Network is in “Re-Launch”

Alex — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:28:15 +0000

Empower Network has seen it’s fair share of struggles in it’s first 4 months of life. They’ve had server issues and merchant account battles but they’ve still managed to pay out nearly $4 MILLION in just 4 months.

To get that in perspective, Magnetic Sponsoring was founded in 2005 and 5 years later they paid out $2 Million in commissions for 2010. Empower Network has DOUBLED THAT in just 4 months from conception!

Empower Network is the real deal folks. It’s changing the way we play the game.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence for the past 4 months I would suggest NOW might be a good time to get in the game and cash in on this renewed momentum. Empower network is PUMPED about what’s it’s about to unleash.

Here’s just a sample of what’s in store from Empower Network

e-Wallet. A brand new in-house payment system (no more merchant issues!)
upgraded and scaled out customer support for you and your customers
the most aggressive affiliate competition yet ($10,000 cash and a free trip to Costa Rica to be won!)
major innovations and improvements to their products (which means more products for you to make 100% commissions on!)

Are you serious about getting results in your business?

The leaders at Empower Network are about to reveal how you can get the results you want in your business … right now.

They know what you want, they know what you need and most importantly they know what you deserve.

They know how to help you succeed and become a top income earner in your field by giving you the cutting edge training you need.

They know how to take someone who’s struggling today, and get them succeeding in weeks or months – not years!

They’re committed to this, to YOU.

What is Empower Network NOT?

Empower Network is not a hobby, it’s not a business and it’s not a tool. It’s a LIFE STYLE and it’s about to get a lot sweeter.

Gear up, get ready and get pumped. Empower Network is reborn. This may be one of the biggest weeks ever for you and your business.

If you’re not in already, just get in now. If you need to see the video again, watch it now.

We want you to win and we’ll do everything we can to see you reach your goals.

Here’s to Your Success!

MLM Prospecting and Recruiting Made Simple

Alex — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 01:01:25 +0000

MLM prospecting and recruiting comes down to you successfully selling a vision that there’s a better way to live life, that dreams really can come true, and that if you work as hard at your MLM business opportunity as you do your regular job you will achieve massive success. That’s what MLM prospecting and recruiting is all about.

Some people make this process look so hard. But it really doesn’t need to be. Just remember how it was for you when you were first presented with the MLM business opportunity you joined. What was it that made you say yes? How did your sponsor recruit you? What MLM prospecting techniques did they use with you?

If they did it well, then duplicate what they did. If they made a mess of it, then follow these steps.

1. Step inside your prospect’s world and feel their needs

Successful MLM prospecting is about CONNECTING with your prospects.

Remember how it was for you when you were being prospected and try to see your MLM business opportunity from their perspective. For you to understand how prospects see your offer, you need to know how they see themselves first.

Feel their needs by asking them questions about their current situation. But don’t overdo it. You don’t want them to feel sorry for themselves. Remember that you have entered their world to help them, not to burden them.

2. Be passionate about your presentation

Successful MLM prospecting comes down to gaining your prospect’s approval. Your presentation needs to get their attention and make them hang on your every word. You don’t want to bore them with a presentation that’s on “automatic pilot.” There’s nothing worse than sitting through a boring MLM presentation.

If you’re bored with your presentation then I might suggest you chose the wrong MLM business to be in.

MLM is all about the dream, the possibility that there is a better way. No-one is going to follow you if you’re bored.

Read this post if you’re not too sure how to choose the right MLM business opportunity for you.

3. If your prospect isn’t interested right now, that’s OK

MLM prospecting and recruiting is about planting the seed. I promise you, if your prospect has a true desire to work this with you, they WILL come to you when they’re ready. The idea that there is a better way to live has been planted. I have friends who have said no to me and six months later when they saw I was doing well came back to me and asked if they could join. That’s what planting the seed is all about.

And that’s the type of person you want to work with. The one who has done all their own due diligence and is coming to you ready to work. You don’t really want someone who you’ve brought into your MLM business who is dragging their feet. You want someone who is champing at the bit and can’t wait to get started.

4. How to Win Friends and Influence People 101 – “Say my name, say my name!”

The sweetest sound in the world to your prospect is not “cha-ching!” The sweetest sound in the world to your prospect is the sound of their own name. Successful MLM prospecting relies heavily on building rapport.

If you say your prospect’s name at least three times in the first three minutes of your conversation you will keep their attention much longer. It forms a connection between you and your prospect. Use it naturally throughout your conversation and make sure it is one of the last words they hear.

5. Turn off all distractions

MLM prospecting and recruiting is an art form so when doing a presentation get rid of all cellphones, TV’s, radio’s, answering machines, cats, dog’s and kids.

If you know a little bit about us we used to sell paintings. If we were working on a large deal the last thing in the world we wanted was a distraction when a client was making a large investment decision.

People go through certain thought processes when making a decision and when that’s interrupted you can be back at square one and have to start all over again with your presentation.

6. Be a beacon of hope, not hype

There’s enough hype in our daily lives. Do you really think you’re going to stand out if you just try and out-hype everyone else?

People see through that. They really do. In this day and age people are sick and tired of the hype. They want something real. Deliver them hope instead and you’ll have prospects beating down your door begging to join your team.

7. Be patient and follow up

I don’t know about you, but the minute someone tries to push me to deliver a “yes” response it gives me pause. I wonder why they’re pushing so hard and it makes me question the offer. In fact, 9 times out of 10 it turns me off the offer. Whatever it is; property, car, deal. If they’re pushing too hard for an immediate response I go in the other direction.

Very few prospects will say yes to your offer straight away. Most people need time to think things over. Don’t rush them.

Never say, “Can I get your answer now?” Feel them out, find out what their thoughts are about your MLM business opportunity. If you have a good feeling about them by all means get them to sign up on the spot.

But if they’re undecided let them off a little and say, “I understand there’s a lot to take in. How about I leave it with you for now and I’ll give you a call in a couple of days?” And call them!

Remember, you want to work with people who WANT to work this. That doesn’t mean to say you write someone off just because they didn’t jump immediately. It just means you need to give some people a bit more time so that when they commit to you they are fully committed.

No one likes to feel as if they’ve been strong-armed into something. That will only build resentment and animosity which is not what you want in your team.

8. Build a meaningful relationship with your recruits

Successfully recruiting someone is just the start of your relationship with them. Now you have to deliver.

They see you as their leader. So lead them. Teach them. Give them all they tools they need to be successful. You sold them hope – now deliver.

You need them to reach their dreams. If they don’t, then neither will you.

One of the greatest leaders of our time, especially when it comes to MLM prospecting is Mark Yarnell. If you’re not familiar with him check out this post and learn how he turned network marketing (MLM) into a $100k/month business.

In Conclusion

MLM prospecting and recruiting is pivotal to your success. Master this and you and your team will be living the life of your dreams.

Here’s to your success!

How To Earn Serious Affiliate Income With Your Blog

Alex — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 19:19:18 +0000

If you’ve been blogging for a while or are interested in blogging for profit, chances are you’ve heard of affiliate marketing, affiliate products and affiliate income.

If not, then allow me to explain what affiliate income is and how it can benefit you, especially if you’re new to the online world and came here to learn ways to make money online.

To earn an affiliate income you need to find a company with affiliate products that you like and preferably use. Your affiliate company will then reward you for every visitor or customer you bring in with your own marketing efforts.

This is an attractive and very simple business model for those looking to make money online through their blog.

There are many types of affiliate products and your affiliate income depends on which ones you use and how you market or promote them.

What are the major benefits of selling affiliate products?

If you’re looking for more traffic, having affiliate products means you attract not only those interested in your blog content, but also those interested in your affiliate products. This is an opportunity to welcome new readers to your blog and earn and affiliate income from any products they purchase using your affiliate links.

My strongest recommendation is that you use affiliate products that have name recall and brand awareness, so that your readers won’t need an extensive introduction to the affiliate products you’re promoting.

Also, as these are online affiliate products, there’s no need to worry about inventory or the day to day running of a physical shop. There are no headaches such as customer service, shipping, or any other inconveniences that a traditional business has. Once affiliate links are in place on your blog, you can focus on promoting or marketing your chosen affiliate products however you choose.

On the flip side, the affiliate companies you choose have a broader market to sell their products to, and there’s no need for them to splurge on expensive marketing if they can rely on leads generated by their affiliate marketers. This keeps the prices of their products competitive. It’s a win-win for both parties.

Types of Affiliate Products

To earn serious affiliate income it’s best to check out what’s available so you can carefully match what will work best for you, your blog, and your readers. Do you want to market digital products such as e-books and software, or physical products that can actually be delivered to someone’s door? There are so many affiliate products to choose from and I’ll recommend a good starting point at the end of this post.

Aside from what you’re actually promoting on your blog, there are also several ways you can earn affiliate income. Here are the more commonly known ways:

Pay per sale. This is the easiest way to earn serious affiliate income. When one of your blog readers chooses to go to your affiliate company through your blog and buys an affiliate product you have recommended, you get a percentage of that sale. This is commission-based earning. That’s why it’s important and also ethical to use the products you recommend. You become an authority on them and people will trust you more.
Pay per lead. In this option, your affiliate companies pay you a one-time fee for each referred visitor of your blog who fills out a questionnaire or application form.
Pay per click. Similar to the pay per sale model, except that you are paid for every visitor you send to your chosen affiliate companies through the links on your blog (which can be a text or banner link), whether or not that visitor ends up buying something.
Flat-fee referrals. Here your affiliate companies pay you a flat fee per referral you send them, irrespective of what they purchase in their transactions with the merchant.
Single-tier programs. These programs reward affiliates only on direct transactions they’ve generated, not any additional affiliate sign-ups.
Two-tier programs. In this model, an affiliate is rewarded by both direct transactions and for bringing new affiliates in.
Multi-tier programs. As the term implies, there are several ways affiliate companies can reward affiliates who bring in new affiliates or are able to generate sales of products.

Using Affiliate Products

Alright, have you decided you’d like to try making an affiliate income via your blog? Before you jump into the first program you can find, consider the following:

Who is your audience? They are, after all, visiting your blog because they like what you have to say. So choose affiliate products or programs that complement your blog’s overall subject matter, niche, and the audience. Think about what products and services are relevant to your audience. For instance, selling lawnmowers from Amazon won’t work if your blog focuses on Internet Marketing Strategies.
Personal recommendations are best. Part of having affiliate products on your blog is promoting or marketing it as well. This is why having relevant affiliate products works best—because anything else will just sound insincere when you promote it. Products you can genuinely recommend have a higher chance of attracting your readers and establishing your credibility as an affiliate blogger. You want to attract more traffic to your blog, but this also includes making sure they keep coming back. Be open and honest about the products you recommend.
Focus on quality. It’s no secret that everyone wants good quality, and this applies to your affiliate products as well. Do your research and look for products that have a good reputation and consistently good reviews.
Use contextual links to draw readers in. There are several options for displaying affiliate links, but the more successful ones that get the most clicks are when they are set in context. Remember, visitors are hanging out in your blog for what you say and share. If you have an article about keyword research and then have a link to a product that performs stellar keyword research, readers are more likely to click on it than if it was irrelevantly placed on the top of your blog or in your sidebar.
Avoid cluttering your blog. With affiliate programs, that is. You don’t want your blog looking like Times Square at night. All flashy lights with little substance. This will alienate your current readers and do very little to attract new ones. Choose affiliate products that will best serve your audience and blog.
Be open and honest. This means being transparent that you do use affiliate products on your blog and in some cases, informing your readers that they are clicking on an affiliate link. Don’t fool your readers—most are smart enough to realize it and they’ll stop visiting. It’s OK to make an affiliate income by promoting affiliate products, but readers like to see you being open about it.
Track and plan accordingly. Most of the best affiliate programs allow you to track statistics and other data that you can use to plan future posts using your affiliate products. You can see which links generated the most or least responses and make any necessary adjustments.
Stay focused. Remember, promoting affiliate products and making an affiliate income will generate more traffic to your blog, but your primary focus should still be writing up new and relevant blog posts to draw readers in. Don’t get so focused on making an affiliate income that you stop creating relevant and valuable blog posts.

If you’re brand new to the affiliate world I would recommend starting with ClickBank and Amazon first. You can earn a very healthy affiliate income starting here and then branch out once you’ve determined your niche.

Market Samurai | How To Rank On Page 1 With Ninja Keyword Research

Alex — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 20:21:47 +0000

Market Samurai has revolutionized the way internet marketers do their keyword research.

Have you ever been intimidated by keyword research? Well fear no more as this internet marketing tool takes all the guess work away.

Market Samurai has been proclaimed as the most popular keyword research tool among internet marketers. It offers a total solution to finding low competition, high traffic keywords that will help you to dominate the search engines.

So Why Is Keyword Research Important?

It allows you to post on purpose. There’s no point posting any material on the internet if no-one can find you! If you’re a network marketer, affiliate marketer or small business owner looking to dominate in your niche, the only way for your target market to find you online, is to get yourself to the top of the search engines.

Market Samurai enables you to identify specific keywords that will get you a ton of traffic but most importantly don’t have a lot of competition. The less competition the easier it will be for you to rank. This is the difference between making a little money online and making huge profits … all from the same marketing efforts.

So How Can Market Samurai Help You?

Market Samurai has a number of modules that help you uncover prime keywords.

The Keyword Research Module

This module will help you find additional keywords that are related to your preferred keyword or will help you find a keyword phrase you want to rank for. It will perform a complete analysis based on the amount of traffic, search engine optimization (SEO) competition, Ad words value and other statistics.

By executing your keyword research through Market Samurai you can then determine the best keywords to target, without guessing.

The SEO Competition Module

This module for me is one of the most important as it filters the top ten urls ranking for your preferred keyword and shows you what SEO factors are attributing to their ranks. It will provide data about how old the domain is, it’s Page rank, the number of back links it has and whether or not the website has the target keyword in the urls, the header, within the title, and/or the description.

The table is easy to read as it is color coded which helps you to determine if you can break into the top 10 rankings.

Color codes are RED cells for DIFFICULT, ORANGE for AVERAGE, and GREEN for GO!

When you see a whole lot of green cells lighting up the board it means you have a pretty good chance of ranking for this keyword. If you see a table full of red cells, it’s an indication that it will be very difficult to rank for that keyword.

I’ll give you an example. The other day I wanted to write a post about how to make Google love you. I powered up Market Samurai and it produced some keywords and keyword phrases I never would have thought about. The one that got my attention most was “Pimp My Google”. So just for fun, I incorporated “Pimp My Google” into my post. We landed on Page 1 of Google.

Market Samurai Results for "Pimp My Google"

Now this may not seem like a big deal being that it may appear to be quite a random keyword phrase. However, when I check our site analytics, this is the highest searched phrase on our site! Weird huh? Market Samurai knew the value in this keyword phrase, I did not.

The Rank Tracker Module

Another key module within Market Samurai is the Rank Tracker. This tool helps you visualize where your site ranks for each of your keywords over time. Simply add in your domain, keyword or keyword phrase and select the search engines you want to check and Market Samurai will analyze where your domain ranks for each keyword listed. It’s powerful stuff!

In Conclusion

Without precise keyword research in the internet marketing field, you are as good as dead in the water. The competition out there is fierce and you need to be fully armed to make your way to the top of the rankings. By spending a few minutes every day doing your keyword research you will dramatically increase your chances on success online.

Market Samurai is an absolute MUST if you seriously want to make money online. This tool is easy to use and makes keyword research a breeze. They have easy to understand tutorials and really reinforce the basics, PLUS their support is AAAAMAZING! And that’s always a huge plus for me.

So get in now, don’t delay. You need Market Samurai to get you to the top.

Empower Network Nails List Building

Alex — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 21:49:05 +0000

The economic reality that has sent many would be entrepreneurs to the internet looking to find a way to make money online has been met with an unorthodox solution in the form of Empower Network.

I say unorthodox because in what business model does it make sense to give away 100% commissions? And yet that’s exactly what Empower Network has done. They have discovered a commission loophole that either the guru’s knew about but didn’t want to share, or that the guru’s had no clue about, but now wish they did.

You see, Empower Network has come along at a time when ordinary folk are sick and tired of the empty promises made by the guru’s. You know what I’m talking about. The false promises that if you buy their products they’ll show you how to generate instant traffic, how to get 100 leads a day, how to earn $15k per month … they promise so much and yet 95% of them deliver so little.

And that’s what separates Empower Network from every other online guru money making machine.

Empower Network really does teach you how to generate traffic and leads online and they also teach you how to earn $15k per month.

Believe me, I’ve been more fed up with empty promises than I care to share right here. But I’ve found Empower Network to be the complete opposite of what everyone else is selling. If a company is prepared to give away 100% commissions and keep NOTHING for themselves, that has to tell you something.

And if you’re wondering how the leaders in Empower Network make money, it’s the same way you do, by building a list and getting the message out there.

So that brings us to the 64,000 question: How Do You Build A List With Empower Network?

Empower Network has removed the technical aspect of list building by providing a system that can be integrated with your Aweber or Get Response auto responder. When a prospect enters their email to watch the sales video through your lead capture page they are automatically placed in your autoresponder as a lead. This happens whether they purchase the system or not, allowing you to capture their information send follow up emails promoting the Empower Network system through the email swipe copy that is provided by Empower Network or from you personally.

The great thing about these leads is that not only are they targeted, and have shown specific interest in you and your business, they are yours to keep and can be funneled into any of your other opportunities or product campaigns.

Learning the various strategies that go into building a successful sales funnel to generate the right type of leads and consistent leads can be a challenge. Building a list on your own takes a lot of time and money that many online marketers just do not have.

Empower Network makes it easy by covering the four basic principles of list building.

1. Have a converting web form on your site

Your Empower Network Blog comes with a fully monetized theme. No matter where the prospect clicks they will be taken to your lead capture page and entered into your sales funnel.

7 Reasons Why Having Your Own Blog Is Better Than A Website

Alex — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:01:35 +0000

Having your own blog is essential if you’re wanting to get attention online.

Businesses have had websites for years but now, more individuals are hosting their own ‘websites’, by having a blog. There are more than 17 million registered blogs, and more popping up daily.

Here are 7 reasons why having your own blog is better than a website!

1. Setting up your own blog is easier than setting up a website! You can install a WordPress blog in minutes. You don’t have to be too technically savvy to get this done. You don’t have to worry about coding, and the core files are there for you. You can find ‘done for you designs’ called themes. There are tons of free ones! The WordPress dashboard is very user friendly. All you need to do is log in, add your content. It’s very easy to manage your pages, categories, and comments. The blog platform does the technical work. You get to add your content and manage your site the way you want.

If all this still sounds a bit too technical there is a very simple plug ‘n’ play system that will have you up and running in less than 30 minutes and teach you how to monetize it immediately. Go here now to check it out.

2. Reader interaction! When someone visits your own blog and has an opinion, they can share it through commenting. You’ll get to know frequent visitors, and respond to their comments. Those conversations can continue through comments or email. When you have comments on a particular topic, it makes other visitors stop to take notice of what’s going on at your blog! Encourage and welcome those comments! Click this link for FREE tips on how to make a successful blog.

3. Having your own blog means the Search Engines will be more friendly than if you just had a website. When your own blog is updated, the search engine bots crawl your site to index your new content. With your own blog, you have the ability to optimize your blog content. When you link your pages to each other, you give the search engine bots more options to crawl. This is especially helpful when targeting a specific keyword. You can install a plugin called ‘All In One SEO Pack’ to help with optimization.

4. Having your own blog will make you more popular on social media sites than if you just had a website. Because our sense of community has evolved with the internet, readers are more likely to share your best content on social media sites. Readers interact with bloggers. Bloggers also interact with other bloggers and syndicate (share) content they find valuable. It’s very easy to install various plugins that make it easy for your reader to share your content to their favorite social media site!

5. Readers can subscribe to blogs via RSS feed. RSS stands for ‘Real Simple Syndication’. When a reader subscribes to your RSS feed, your content is delivered directly to their email. They are among the first to know when you have new content, and visit your site as a result. With a website, there is rarely new content and there is no reason for the visitor to visit the site regularly.

6. Blogging helps with personal branding! When you have your own blog, you can shine in your niche by providing content relevant to your target audience. You will be viewed as an authority figure in your niche by the content and knowledge you provide. The more questions you answer, the more you will brand yourself as a leader. Post content regularly and optimize them so that they are easily found by the search engines.

7. You have complete control over your own blog. You control everything – the look, the content, the hosting, when it’s updated – EVERYTHING! You can update your own blog whenever you want. You can add or takeaway at will. With a website, you don’t have that kind of freedom.

Having your own blog offers incredible flexibility that a website does not. If you’re ready to own your own piece of internet real estate, contact me here and I’ll get you started.
