These people are all about to be mailed about traffic exchanges. Many will join Traffic Witch as their first

It’s going to be a fun-filled and inspirational day.

So, What kind of person would want to attend this kind of event?

Why should you go?

It gives you the opportunity to meet and be around like-minded people, to listen and learn from speakers who have not only achieved success and are sharing what they have learned but also from speakers who will be sharing universal principles that will help anybody who wants to learn to move on and do great things with their lives and businesses.

How will you benefit?

The workshop will help you focus on what you need to do right now to move your business on. It will also build your knowledge, your confidence and your motivation.

The event is about getting yourself away from the weekly pressure and daily grind so that you can focus on what you want in the future for yourself and your family. When was the last time you did that?

You have dreams and goals you want to achieve. The workshop will provide you with the knowledge, the confidence and the inspiration to go out and claim your own personal victory. How important is that to you?

We all realise that nobody starts out successful. There are doubts to deal with, fears to fight and confidence to build. None of these obstacles can be overcome while we sit at home, or work all hours. To change our lifestyle, we must often change the way we think.

Who Will Be There?

A lot of people like you! People who believe in the same things as you and are chasing similar dreams to yours and succeeding.

Plus there are the speakers. People who have risen to the top levels of success, faced with the same obstacles as you, with the same fears and doubts as you, will take the time to tell you how they succeeded. At the function they will give you insights and practical help on why and how to win through.

At the function the speakers will be inspiring, they will be humorous, they will be knowledgeable and they will be passing on that wisdom so that you can learn how to build the same level of success they enjoy……as long as you are there.

This is what makes our business so special – successful people taking time to teach others to succeed.

Downline Builder Direct or DBD as it has become affectionately known is a fantastic resource for building downlines and lists.
I was introduced to Downline Builder Direct by James Grandstaff, via Instant MLM Squeeze Pages..
Initially I took the free membership which was cool, it allowed me to pop in all of my programs into the built in downline builder and it actually produced a web page I can promote, again this was totally free, you can access the page by Clicking Here I’m sure you’ll agree it’s pretty nifty and allows promotion of many of the programs you work with.
After hearing about some of the ’shocking’ results people were getting with this program I decided to upgrade to the Diamond Level. What does the diamond level offer?

Well… it allows you to email 20,000 random members or your downline inside the program, whichever is greater, with your offers every 2 days!
It allows you to earn 50% on all sales.. cool!
There is also a huge array of Diamond Level Bonuses which are available for download.

There’s a bunch of levels in between free and diamond, but to be honest, I didn’t want to hang around

So, how has it been?
I was shocked at the results, my mailings have resulted in 40% conversions.. I am measuring conversions by page viewed and actions on those pages… My last mailing resulted in 60 page views, that converts to 24 list members and of those list members several bought into my product, this made me enough to pay for my membership for several months!

Is DBD worth it?

If you are building lists, downlines and ultimately supplying products, yes it definately does and I urge you to check it out!
The only point I would raise it that if you are going to mail 20,000 members, then please make sure your email subject is of interest and that it will encourage people to open it, otherwise, unfortunately , your ad will not be seen

You can Access DBD here and join for free!

All the best

Submitting articles is a marketing strategy that cannot be underestimated!

I am not going to try and say that submitting a single article to one of the directories is the answer to all our prayers and we’ll all get rich over night! That would be daft.
What I am getting at here, is that for a ‘long term online marketing strategy’, writing articles and submitting them to the article directories is a free resource that will benefit you in several great ways:

1. Writing an article actually makes you feel good! I know this doesn’t directly translate to anything tangible in a financial business sense, but, feeling good about yourself is pretty important when it comes to being successful in business. A great deal of satisfaction can be derived from writing a good article.

2. Authoring an article positions you as an expert. We all need to ‘brand’ ourselves here on the Internet and becoming an authority in your niche is important. We tend to believe what we read in ‘black and white’ and the author is generally seen as an authority in that field. The benefits of being seen as an expert in your arena are endless, it attracts people to you and enables you to deliver information to your colleagues and prospects with relative ease.

3. Link Popularity. When you submit an article to a directory, there is usually a ‘resource box’. The resource box is a field where the author of the article can write a ‘mini bio’ and include a couple of links to websites. A condition of someone using your article in their blog, ezine, website, newsletter etc is that they should include the ‘resource box’ in the post. This creates back links to your websites which will improve the page rank or importance of your website in the great scheme of things.

4. Visitors! Similar in principle to the above point, but that resource box will encourage more visitors to your websites. A good article will leave the reader wanting to know more about you and your business. The traffic you generate using this technique is free and of high quality. That is to say the visitor already has an interest in your subject and is likely to be already warmed up to your promotions.

5. SEO. I’m sure you know this acronym means Search Engine Optimization, if you already have your website key phrases figured out, embedding them in the title and body of your article will yield search engine results and readers of your articles. Another great free traffic source.

So there we have it, some brilliant reasons to use Article Marketing in your online strategy.

One of the best article directories I have discovered, (there are literally hundreds of them!) is ezine articles. You can check out my profile here if you like: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Ian_T_Taylor

All the best, get writing!

Cheers!

Network Marketing or MLM businesses are effectively organisations or networks of people who are all building the same business. It is very similar in principle to the ‘franchise’ principle. That is to say that in franchising, the franchisor develops a business model, be it product or service based, and he (or she) figures out how to make it work, they put in place a ‘system’ or ‘success formula’ that a franchisee is able to duplicate or copy, therefore guaranteeing success. At least, that’s the principle. We all know there are many other factors which come into play in the franchised business arena such as the requirement for a degree of business acumen, financial planning, management and of course, people skills.

Network Marketing or Franchise

Network marketing or MLM is similar, in that a business model is developed, either a product or a service and a compensation plan is put together for the business owners. The chief differences between franchising and network marketing or MLM are:

1. The network marketing business owner not only has products and services which they can promote and sell, they also have the ability to set up other network marketing business owners.
   
   
2. Depending on the compensation plan, the business owner will also have the ability to make revenue from the efforts of his ‘sponsored’ network marketing business owners. That is, if those they sponsor go on to sponsor other business owners, the original network marketer will usually benefit.
   
   
3. In the MLM business, start up costs are generally much, much lower. The franchise is usually a relatively expensive business to start as a franchisee, not only that, the franchisee does not have the ability to set up other franchisees.

Caveats

There are indeed a few caveats, each Network Marketing Business is different, they are governed by rules and regulations, each will have their own compensation plan. All of these factors should be considered before deciding or committing to any opportunity.

A Common Trait

There is a common trait which runs through all massively and even moderately successful Network Marketers, they have all applied this very simple principle. The principle they have applied is that of ‘duplication’. Duplication is an absolute corner stone of success in Network Marketing and MLM. I will even go so far as to say that if the network marketing business does not posses the ability to duplicate their efforts, business is doomed to failure!

Your Success Depends on This

Fortunately, duplication is one of the first principles that any successful leader in the MLM industry will teach to their organisation. After all, another key success principle in MLM is that in order to succeed, you absolutely must help others to succeed first.

A Working Example

I would like to share a working example of duplication in action. Any active network marketing business owner will be faced with this at some point in their career, so let set the scene.

The network marketer contacts one of their prospects to discuss the idea of the prospect becoming a network marketing business owner, the prospect responds with “Yes, that sounds great, but, are you making any money?”

How should the network marketer respond to this question?

You will notice that we don’t know if the network marketer in this example is incredibly successful or if they are brand new to the business. In either case, the response is critical, and in either case it should be the same. You see, we teach by doing. In MLM people will need to be able to duplicate your efforts.

So, the wrong response would be “Yes, I’m making xxx thousand a month and it’s great, you should look at it!” Why is this wrong? Quite simply, it cannot be duplicated. The new network marketer will not be able to say this to their prospects, at least not honestly.

The correct response would be “My upline team are incredibly successful, they have developed large organisations and we are working together to find more like minded people to work with” Why is this correct? Again, very simple, it can easily be duplicated! The new network marketer can use this exact same technique in their business.

This is just one working example, there are many, many situations where duplication and the ability to duplicate need to be considered. The principle of duplication must be taught very early on in the network marketing business owner’s career if they are to succeed and achieve and experience rapid growth in their organisation

In Summary

The key to success in network marketing and MLM is duplication, it is also in the ability to teach duplication. Teaching this principle early on will help your organisation grow and duplicate rapidly. Helping others to become successful in this technique is a cornerstone of building large network marketing organisations.

You’ve probably figured out by now that I’m an mlmer, network marketer or it even seems to be referred to as affiliate marketer these days too.

I’m sure you know what’s involved in mlm, it’s all about building a downline, and helping those that join you in your mlm business to become successful through assisting them with building their downlines.

Lord know’s I get an awful lot of help from my upline, chiefly Dave Butler. Dave is one of the UK’s finest network marketers having been working with mlm businesses for the last 20 years.

Dave is an absolute master of building large network marketing organisations running to many thousands of people.

So what does this have to do with building a ‘Lazy Downline’?

Dave introduced me to james Grandstaff’s system “Instant mlm squeeze pages” (there’s a link to it, which I am certain you have noticed on this page). James has been incredibly successful in building massive mlm organisations of over 14,000 people. That’s pretty amazing right?

What staggered me was that James does not use traditional network marketing techniques, on the contrary, he has developed a 3 step system which makes building downline organisations here on the net a breeze.

I read an eBook written by James entitled “How to Get Rich Building a Lazy Downline”. It was a fascinating read, James tells the tale of alcoholism, of a gentleman with an income of $13,000 a month who was scared! and talks about a method known as ‘Giving them a fish’

The book was a real eye opener, and really, it suggests that us mlmers should ‘unlearn’ all of those old downline building techniques, you know the ones, call up your friends and family, colleagues and associates etc, buying up and calling so called leads and so on, the lazy way is better, use a system which generates highly targeted prospects and which pays you in the process!

OK so the ebook is available here BUT, please bear in mind this is normally distributed via a squeeze page, so any reference to receiving the ebook via a squeeze page should be taken into account.

All the best, have a great day!

Two posts in one day… wow! what has come over me?

I just picked up a copy of the Traffic Exchanges Explained eBook which is great!
It was put together by the 5 super surf traffic exchanges, Jeff Dedrick of Viral Ebook Explosion and written by Sunny Suggs.

It clears up a lot of the mystery surrounding traffic exchanges, it walks you through step by step how to use them, what works best, what doesn’t and is completely illustrated with screenshots and images.

Highly recommended

What’s even better is that you can rebrand this ebook with your own links!

After quite a crazy weekend, I thought I’d jump straight back in this morning with a blog post. I say crazy because my brother, in all his wisdom, asked me over to his place to watch the Calzaghe, Roy Jones Jnr. fight on Saturday night.. well as it turned out it was very early Sunday morning! Paul told me the fight was due to start at 2.15am Sunday Morning… Heh! it didn’t get started until 4.30am and I rolled home to bed at something just before 6am. I’m just glad he won!! Anyway, onto today’s post…

I’ve had some great results from Downline Builder Direct and can happily recommend it as a service.
I was introduced to Downline Builder Direct by James Grandstaff, and, as you will see when you look at the site James’ endorsement of the service is slap bang in the middle of the home page.

James being on that home page quoting some amazing statistics encouraged me to go for the diamond membership, well, that and a one time offer which was very hard to ignore

So, I posted a couple of emails to the members and had some great results. I managed to achieve a 40% conversion on the squeeze page (This One) I was promoting, which is probably the best conversion rate I have ever achieved in any program.

I suppose this can also be attributed to the brilliant squeeze page I am using which is not my design, but one of those available to members of Instant MLM Squeeze Pages. I guess it can also be attributed to the kind of people that are members of the Downline Builder Direct community, they’re obviously interested in building downlines and downline building systems!

So, If you are looking to get more traffic to your pages and more importantly high conversion rates on the page then I would heartily recommend you go take a look at Downline Builder Direct

That’s all for now

Cheers!

Ian
