The number one method for overcoming phone fear… it’s not what you think.
I was sitting here thinking today about one of the biggest fears that attacks new and seasoned network marketers alike…. heck, it might be one you struggle with as well. What is this debilitating fear I am referring to that makes so many marketers break out in a cold sweat and their hearts race like they just finished drinking two full pots of espresso? Well, it is simply one of the oldest fears in the sales industry; the fear of picking up the phone when it feels like it weighs 2000 pounds and actually calling people we do not know ...
Are you a running your business like a Marathon Runner?
Wow… what an amazing weekend. I love weekends. Not because they take me away from work… I actually love my work. I love weekends because I am blessed to spend time with my lovely wife and three really cool kids.
This past weekend was uniquely special to me because I was able to give back to someone who has supported me even when she wasn’t sure what the heck I was doing and why I was making such crazy decisions for my career… yep, you know the career; working on the internet and promoting my MLM. This someone is my amazing ...
Have you heard? The Money Really Is In The List!
If you have been online for any time at all, you have already heard the statement “The money is in the list” hundreds of times. Actually there is a bit more to it than that. The real money is in the RELATIONSHIP you build with your list.
Well, let me tell you a little story. I have been online for thirteen years now and I am finally getting the fact that “The money is in the list”. You see I am stubborn - you can say that I am a Taurus for a reason… I truly am a Bull when it ...
#1 Super Stealth Ninja Twitter Strategy for Maximum Blog Traffic
I am so stoked to share with you today. A couple of weeks ago I got extremely lucky, I mean lucky like winning the lottery. No, I was not left a bunch of money by a long lost relative but, I was in the right place at the right time.

Jonathan made an offer that made me take an action I was not going to take. You see, he was in a Mike Dillard’s contest to ...

Making Great Blog Content A Priority

Do Your Blog Posts Stand Out Or Fall Down?
There are millions and millions of blogs out there. Like websites, the completion for eyeballs is fierce. So whenever someone comes to your blog to read your content, you need to make sure that you first grab their attention and then hold their interest.
Otherwise, visitors are just a fickle mouse click away from heading elsewhere.
So, how do make your blog posts stand out? Is there a secret formula that will cause surfers to stick around, opt-in, hit the RSS button, check out affiliate products and spread their love for you on Facebook or Twitter?
Good question. While sadly, there is no ...
Is Using Other People’s Content Cheating?
As you may know, or will soon find out, producing new content on a consistent basis can be a demanding and formidable task. Often times, you will find yourself lacking fresh ideas or just not feeling particularly creative. So what can be done, when the wheels are spinning but there is no forward movement?
Use Other People's Content (OPC).

Is Your Blog Traffic Deficient?
Blog traffic is they key to your success with a profitable blog. A lonely blog is a sad blog indeed. But more importantly, it is also a non-producing one. Meaning that little or no blog traffic, directly correlates to few people viewing your blog posts, only a smattering of newsletter signups, a dearth of Tweets, no Facebook love, affiliate offers left unclicked and a distinct absence of potential new recruits for your primary Network Marketing opportunity. This, we can all agree, is not an ideal situation.
Like all internet activities, web traffic is the driving force of all monetization efforts. Whether ...
Top 3 Article Writing Blunders
Article writing should be part of your overall marketing strategy, as readers want valuable content and search engines reward those who provide it. Article writing is not rocket science but there are some missteps often made that reduce both the ability to attract visitors with your articles, as well as the potential to motivate a reader's actions.
1) Not Focusing On Readers - Understanding the reader's needs, desires and concerns should be the primary focus of your article writing. Use survey results, buzz lists, forum queries and search engine keyword research to find out their burning issues. Then ask yourself the ...
Evaluating A Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) Business?
With the downturn in the economy, more and more people are looking at various Network Marketing opportunities as a way to either replace a lost job or augment their existing income. It is certainly a sign of the times, as this is not an option many would embrace in good economic times. Some uniformed people even consider MLM to be nothing more than an unsustainable 'pyramid scheme'.
Yet there are many Network Marketing companies that offer real products/services and have enjoyed a long run of success. And in fact, the MLM business model does have attractive qualities that make it worth ...
Do You Have An MLM Lead System?
As you know, I am always preaching about having an MLM Lead System. Why? Because it is what today's successful MLM leaders must have to maximize their online recruiting efforts.
In the good old days, leads were generated by traditional 'warm marketing' efforts. Opportunity meetings and upline conference calls preached making and contacting your list, just like they had done and their mentors before them had done. But there's a problem with that. Frankly, not all MLM distributors share the same traits as their company's top producers, who may have better social skills, more outgoing personalities, some sales experience or were ...
Are you An MLM Sponsor Or Recruiter?
While on the surface, these may appear to be same terms, there is actually a world of difference between the two. Those who understand the distinction, stand to become leaders with an active, healthy organization. Those who do not are likely to struggle in Network Marketing. If they are lucky enough to build much a downline in the first place, they will find it difficult to grow, with a fair amount of attrition occurring.
Fundamentally, Network Marketing is all about people and the relationships you build with them. How you interact with the people who join you in your business. Too ...
Personal Vs. Niche Blogging
What is the difference between personal and niche blogging? Niche blogging is typically around a specific subject or niche, for the express purpose of making money. Money that can come from a wide variety of sources - Google, MSN or Yahoo ads, CPA offers, affiliate products, homegrown content (reports, audios, videos, courses, paid memberships, etc.).
The premise being, that by building a blog (or website) around one primary niche, that it will be easier to gain higher search engine rankings, due to the fact that the blog has a singular focus. That certainly may be true. While there are many niche ...
Blogging Your Brand
With millions of sites and blogs out there, you must find a way to separate from the crowded masses and distinguish yourself as a unique individual. The best way to accomplish this is by personal branding.
If you think about blogs that you frequent consistently, it most likely because you resonate with something there. It could be due to the blogger's unique perspective, reputation, writing style or depth of knowledge. Whatever the case, they have managed to brand themselves in some way that keeps you coming back for more.
Now some might argue that the personal brand is irrelevant and that the ...
