So Much to Do! – How Can You Get Organised? | Time Management Solution Recommended by ‘BBC Click’

There are two ways of failing to make money from  e marketing :

Doing the right thing at the wrong time

Doing the wrong thing at the right time.

So how can you get stuff done on time when  it sometimes seems sooooo complicated, how do you remember what to do and when?

‘Click’ the BBC Flagship Technology Program roots out really interesting application and presenter Kate Russell found this one – Nozbe –  to help get you organised.

Now this might come as a surprise to some but I am not the most organised person in the world (Not a surprise to my wife Bee of course or my Mum – they know!).  More organised means more sales and more sales equals more profit so naturally I wanted to know more about anything which helps me smooth out my working methods.

I downloaded it – no problem there and there are good videos to get you up and off the mark straight away.

I am starting a new e marketing project today and I am going to track it on Nozbe so I spent a half hour finding my way around. Basically it is a productivity application acting as a virtual secretary or personal assistant prompting and reminding you what to do and when. That’s just what I need to keep me focused.

You can quickly and easily make lists of tasks, and group all the information you need – like phone numbers, notes and even pictures – all neatly stored together.

I say a business plan is something you wake up every morning and change but no problem Nozbe makes that easy, once you have a project set up it is easy add new actions to it whenever the spirit takes you. So this plan keeps the creative juices running and all your projects easily accessible in your inbox.

Great news! There is a Free version available for us lonely e marketers which enables us to have full capability for, up to five projects, five sections and 1MB storage but you will soon outgrow that and premium subscriptions offer more  .

One thing to wish for – at the moment you cannot make your own custom sections so you will be shoehorning everything into a few pre-defined actions but everything internet changes day by day and they say there are plans to change this – which will be a great move forward.

The BBC says. ‘There should be more stuff like this in the world’ Internet Marketing Virgin agrees.

New to Internet Marketing? | How to Get Started In Internet Marketing

Are you tempted to start an on line business but just don’t how to get going? Start here!

Today was a special day in Wales (UK) – the sun was shining!  Last Spring the UK weather Guru’s forecast a Bar-B-Q summer and it has seemed to rain every day since but today the sun shone in the garden of our friends Mike and Karen. Mike owns a Kitchen Planning business my home town of Cowbridge and my wife Bee and I were invited to a feast of burgers and sausage, chicken and ribs, salad, baked potatoes, Tiramisu, cream and Coconut Ice cream. Life should always be this good.

Wales is very beautiful, very green and very wet, nearby is the place  Tom Jones was born and it is our classic wet weather which gives the lush scenery Tom sings about in his song “The Green Green Grass of Home”

Today though a dozen or so of Mike and Karen’s friends enjoyed idyllic weather and I met Roland, a Mortgage Advisor. The conversation turned to ‘What do you do’ and I told Roland how my blog ‘Internet Marketing Virgin’ helps people who are new to Internet Marketing by giving straight forward ‘non-techie’ advice. Roland is on the upper side of 50 and like many of us golden oldies would love to build a late life career which would give him flexibility to work when and where he likes and go on giving him some residual income when he gives up work altogether.

 ‘I want to figure out how to make money online’ Roland said ‘So tell me, just how do I get started?’

That’s what we do here, this section of ‘Internet Marketing Virgin’ will explain

• What internet marketing is and is not
• How to decide if this is a suitable business for you
• The tools and training you will need to get started
• Making a business plan for your e commerce business

Need More Sponsors in your MLM ?| Black Belt Recruiting Shows You How

Mike Dillard explains that he launched his “Black Belt Recruiting” program together with his friend Mark Wieser for the purpose of training network marketers (MLM) in how to recruit more effectively and how to sponsor more distributors.

How good is it?

Internet Marketing Virgin is test driving  Magnetic Sponsoring products.  To learn a bit more about it log on to BlackBelt Recruiting today at http://TonyBee.blackbeltrecruiting.com Watch a free 60-minute training video before you decide if you want to work alongside us!

Review of Mike Dillard  and Mark Weisner’s Black Belt Recruiting

This is what is promised in Black Belt Recruiting.

• How six and seven figure network marketers close prospects on the phone without doing any “selling.”  (In fact, with Mark’s methods, the LESS you sell, the MORE people you sponsor!)
• A sneaky way to get your competition to help you sponsor people into your business… without them even knowing it.
• How to sponsor people who have already decided NOT to join your business!
• My “wrong number” secret that lets you sponsor FAR more prospects than you are now… and with a LOT less effort.
• Four words that will destroy your chances of sponsoring new reps — even the ones who already want to sign up!  (When Mark stopped saying these four words — words that 99% of network marketers say during calls — his sponsoring rate shot through the roof.)
• The secret of getting your prospects so “fired up” about your business you can literally sponsor them without even saying what company you’re in or what product you sell!  (You may even have people call you a couple days later asking, “Ummm, what am I selling again?”)
• How to instantly “de-fang” loud and obnoxious prospects — and actually have them apologizing and pleading with you to show them the plan.  (This secret works even if they were dead set against MLM before!)
• Startling facts you MUST know about sales people before you talk to them about MLM.  (Sales pros can be your best reps — but there’s a “trick” to talking to them if you want to sponsor them into your business.)
• How to “position” yourself as a network marketing expert before you even sponsor your first distributor!
• A weird (but effective) way to make money when distributors quit your team.
• Why the best time to talk to a MLM lead is AFTER they’ve talked to other network marketers!  (If you do things “Mark’s way”, you will never again worry if other network marketers talk to your leads — in fact, you’ll actually prefer they do.)
• A little talked about fear every human being has… and how to use it to sponsor even the most skeptical prospects.  (This tactic is often used by car salesmen, jewelers and other people who sell high ticket items.  And it works even better for network marketers.)
• The great “Guru Hoax”: Why having your team study and follow MLM “gurus” can destroy your business and income.
• A brand new breakthrough (recently discovered by social scientists) that makes even total MLM “newbies” irresistibly attractive to almost any prospect.  (This incredible little secret is how some new distributors are able to sponsor dozens of people right off the bat.  Here’s how they do it.)
• How to get your prospects to ask YOU to make their decision to join your team FOR them.  (This advanced recruiting technique makes sponsoring as easy as taking candy from a baby.  And you will probably never hear about this anywhere else.)
• How to get people at parties and other social gatherings to approach you and ask about your business…

How to use your e mail signature to promote Magnetic Sponsoring

Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring is based on his Funded Proposition where the funds needed to advertise for recruitment to a network marketing (MLM) business are generated by selling his digital training products. But how good are they? He says that adding a promotion for one of the Magnetic Sponsoring products capture pages to your e mail signature or autoresponder messages is an extremely effectiveway to promote your business.

“It is one of the most important ways of kicking off  your plan to self fund  the building of an effective network marketing team. And it’s FREE so don’t skip it!. Adding a Magnetic Sponsoring signature line to all of your personal e-mails (it doesn’t matter which one, just pick your favorite) and autoresponder e-mails will generate free traffic and more affiliate commissions.”  Lets test that.

 I have been using my signature to promote my web sites and businesses for some time now and so far as I am aware my messages haven’t caused a shower of prospects so I thought, if e mail signatures are so effective, what I am doing wrong?

Well I have researched and I have learned and if you have an old e mail from me you will know! I have loaded up my signatures with descriptions and lists for everything that’s my mistake. This is one case where less is more.

 Mikes suggested signatures for the various magnetic sponsoring products are below. They work wonderfully for him, are quite brief and he suggests that you feel free to mix and match your favorite lines to make your own version.

Customizing your Signatures – What do you want your reader to do?

When creating a promotional email signature, first you have to figure out how you want the reader to react. Do you want him/her to visit your web site, to purchase your products, or to subscribe to your blog perhaps?

Maybe you even want to create several signatures for different reasons: One to promote your newsletter, one that links to your blog or web site, one that fits the signature rules of your favorite discussion list, and so on.

Once you have decided on the goal of your signature, you can go on and create your email signature. It is best to use a real simple text editor to create your first signature, such as Notepad. Notepad is easier to transfer to your mail server than Word.  I recommend creating a text file that contains all your signatures. Then it is easy to find a specific signature when you need it, and when you create a new one, you do not have to start from the scratch but modify an existing signature.

Your signature always starts with a greeting and your own name. Depending on the audience, you can also include your title and company name. However, I do recommend that you do not include your phone and fax numbers, at least not in promotional signatures and remember KISS – (Keep It Simple Stupid!)

Recognize the Opportunity that e mail signatures offer
it is generally acknowledged that email signatures are one of the best selling tools internet marketers have. Think about it, how many emails do you send out on a daily, weekly or monthly basis? Every email you send out is a chance to sell yourself and your product or services. Don’t waste it!

Now that you recognize the opportunity, how do you write an effective one? How long should it be? What do you say? Following is a step-by-step method to writing an effective email signature to bring in sales.

 1.                 Step 1 – Link to Your Profile – Who is the I M Virgin?
Effective email signatures often link to an online profile. This is one of the best uses of this space. And, all it takes is a simple line, here’s mine “To learn more about me, please visit my online profile http://www.ecademy.com/account.php?id=192655.” That also links to my ecademy.com page, a great source of internetworking. 

 2.                 Step 2 – Link to Other Websites – But only the ones that matter.
Many business builders and online marketers have several domains that showcase their various specialties and interests. For example, Bee and I have a primary site that we’ve had for years. It’s an information portal about hypnosis, life coaching and publishes articles about how the mind works www.thelifedesignstudio.com I have two other sites as well, one dedicated to health wealth and happiness for the over 50’s www.50pluslifedesign.com , and another to the helping people stop smoking www.stopsmokingconsultants.com . One www.yummychoc4health is a portal to my healthy chocolate business, four separate sites for three branches of my business.

Remember KISS (Keep  It Simple Stupid) You cannot write an effective email signature that covers all of this, it just causes confusion.  Instead list those details in your profile and send your reader there to satisfy their curiosity. For business building I include the address for the capture page which I want the prospect to click on and my blog www.internetmarketingvirgin.com which has articles which reinforce the value of my proposition.

You may need more than one   Effective signatures will target a specific market to take a specific action which is why you may need a number of different signatures and ways to attach then easily.

 3.                 Step 3 – Link to Products and/or Services You Sell or Promote
This is of course the main point an effective email signature can and should include links to products or services you sell or promote. Consider a  p.s.. (post script)statement says, “p.s..: Want to learn more about my business proposition? Click here for more details.” The “here” is hyperlinked to the sales page for my business (in this case www.yummychoc4health.com )

 4.                 Step 4 – Leave it out! – What NOT to Put in Your Signature
Forget the cute, inspirational or poetic phrases in your email signature. Unless you’re a comedian with a “Joke a Day” site, you’re just wasting precious ad space.
Making a living as a freelance writer and/or an internet marketer is hard enough. Why give away ad space.

 5.                 Step 5 – Make them an offer they can’t refuse

Offer a reason why they should contact you now, to get an offer or a gift. If you have written an effective article or post, suggest an additional resource you could provide to them, or a way you could help them. Make sure they know how to quickly request this additional help.

Don’t let one more day go by without taking a moment to create an effective email signature. It can take less than two minutes to set up, and is perhaps the most cost-effective online marketing you can do. After all, it’s free!

Then Test Test and Test again – Overall, while there are no hard and fast rules regarding your signature file, there are some guidelines. Your “sig” in your everyday emails might be shorter – not containing each of the items above, while sigs for your articles or posts or sales letters may be longer. Use your good judgment, use this list of guidelines, and experiment to find what works best for you.

Remember your Market

Your language will be different if your market is American than in the UK

97% of people who start a network marketing business drop out, why is that?

If 97% of network marketing (MLM) startups fail, it follows that for the 3 in every 100 who take the trouble to learn what to do properly their dreams come true– for them it can be a million dollar business which costs very little to set up and goes on producing income day in day out even when they stop working on it.

Nevertheless it is true that every day, most people who join a network marketing company with a flurry of enthusiasm only to have it fall flat. Some lose a lot of money, friends and family get mad at them, everybody is worse off, and then they give up, Can you blame them?

So what is the secret? How can you and I be in in the top 3%

In his much acclaimed program Magnetic Sponsoring Mike Dillard says the answer is to ditch the tired old advice of  making your list of 250 people, talking to anyone you see, dragging in family and friends.  Instead why not access the limitless power of the net. That sounds attractive but does it work?

www.internetmarketingvirgin.com is test driving Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring methods.  Mike claims that he can ‘help you generate an endless stream of distributors knocking down your door, credit card in hand ready to join’

That’s just what I want for my MLM businesses so will Mike’s methods work for me?

Follow me in real time on twitter and log on here to find out how I am doing.

One of Mike’s main guiding principles is that ‘in order to get you have to give’ and he certainly practices what he preaches.

When you subscribe to his mail list you will find that two out of every three  e mails he sends to you are really helpful and don’t have any selling motive other than to pass on useful tips.

You are not snowed under with hype and sell either.  The very first mail you get when you register your details on the Magnetic Sponsoring site offers you  a 7 Day Video Boot Camp on how to attract new leads and customers to you absolutely free.

The Video Boot Camp Videos  explain in detail on how you can earn money while you prospect for new distributors and generate an endless new stream of leads for free and earn commissions from your prospects even if they say no to your opportunity.  

I am going to take that course over the next 7 days and I will let you know what happens for me day by day.

So what happens when you part with your name and address to magnetic sponsoring?   

Well of course you get offered the opportunity to buy Magnetic Sponsoring  

You might want to buy it now and see for yourself. It isn’t a fortune – just $39.95 – and if you want they will even send it out for you to try for 7 days with no commitment to buy – and offer a 12 month money back guarantee,  see below.*  

Mike has been around a number years now and has a great on line reputation – there really is no risk.  

You also get five really valuable free gifts to help you on the way.

What happens if you don’t buy – are you hounded with spam?

No, mike will put you on his mailing list and you will get some great tips from him (actually his e mails are a master class in Internet Marketing and well worth getting to see his techniques in action) of course you can unsubscribe at any time

It’s 10.30 at night here, my free 7 day video boot camp starts tomorrow so I had better post this now before I go to sleep with this web book in my lap.

 Goodnight and great dreams.

“Mikes Guarantee

If in the next YEAR you don’t sponsor at LEAST 10 brand new people into your business each month… if other network marketers don’t pound on your door almost begging you to join your downline… if your friends, family and co-workers don’t corner you and DEMAND to know your “secret” for quickly making so much money…

…I’ll buy the manual back from you and…

Sounds good to me!

Can you build a profitable Network Marketing business on the Internet?

 Do your friends and family turn and run when they see you coming?

The trouble with network marketing is that sooner or later everyone has heard your pitch and if they see coming towards them ll too often they turn tail and head on the opposite direction. 

I want to find out  if  the internet can help you avoid becoming a social outcast and enable you build your network marketing business worldwide.  When you really know what you are doing can you build a successful networking business without making yourself a social pariah in your own community? Can you really build a profitable newtork marketing business on the internet?

I have a great business, I eat Chocolate – healthy chocolate - for a living!   I consume the product every day, it is delicious,  I love it and I believe in it. In less than three years several of my up-line have become dollar millionaires in in the healthy chocolate business and I intend to do the same.

So what is stopping me?

I have told everybody in my social and business network about my fantastic opportunity and frankly recruitment has been bit slow.   It isn’t the fault of the products or the compensation plan – they are both great and everybody loves them.  I just can’t seem to put my offer  in front of enough really good seriously interested people.

My upline says ‘Keep at it day and night, personal, belly to belly, introductions are the only effective way. Build your list of 250 names’ they say ‘ talk to your doctor, your accountant and your dentist, your aunty, your nephew and the girl at the supermarket checkout.  If you are within three feet of someone pitch them.  Have meetings in your home or in hotels and do what we do and all will follow.’

To me that’s uncomfortable, time consuming, and really hard work.  I hate it and I don’t want to spend my time doing things I hate.

I don’t want to frighten off all my family and social contacts by becoming an MLM bore either! Who wants to live like that?  I don’t – and now I want to find out if there is another way.

Times they are a’changing and while it is true that the old fashioned ways will produce results – excellent results – shouldn’t it be possible these days to build your business on the internet accessing thousands of people worldwide?

Is that possible? – thousands of people are building successful businesses on the net.   Of course nothing happens without working for it but I believe in working smart not hard and I intend to find out for myself.

I am not alone in believing that there has to be a better way

Mike Dillard had struggled for six years before he came to the same conclusion.  He realised that the time has come to drag the 60 year old network marketing industry into the 21st Century and in 2007 he developed the world shaking methods which became Magnetic Sponsoring and later Traffic Formula.  Now Mike is a multi millionaire simply by following his own methods and sharing his secrets with us.  Today using these methods Mike Dillard claims that Magnetic Sponsoring is the most popular generic lead generation system and affiliate system available.  Mike is certainly making money but will his systems work for me?

Internet Marketing – Am I wasting my time and money?

Fortunes are spent on programs devised by internet marketing guru’s but are people wasting their time and money? Internet Marketing Virgin tries them out and tells you the truth, blog by blog.

Do you dream of coming downstairs in the morning switching on the computer and seeing how much money you made while you slept? I do.

Do you long for the day that you come back from that luxury holiday and find out that while you were away your business has thrived without you doing have to do anything at all? I do.

Do you plan to retire or take time out for adventure, travel or some other non work activity but before you do need to have in place a ‘money machine’ that will go on producing passive income long after you stopped actually working? I certainly do.

Do you plan what you will do and who you can help when being broke is no longer a handicap to helping out others on their way? I do

In fact I have done more than dream about it, I have spent huge amounts of time and money chasing the dream but despite setting goals and crafting dream-boards it hasn’t happened for me yet!

Why not?

Is it because I am stupid? No, In fact I am quite bright

Is because I am no good at business? No, I have made (and spent) millions in the past and built several successful businesses.

Is it because of my age? No, I am 65 years old but just a few years ago I studied and passed for a major diploma in a professional field.

Is it because I am lazy? No, that diploma I talked about was a tough study course and required me to complete a 30.000 word portfolio, I met all the targets and passed with flying colours.

Is it because I don’t understand information technology?  No, though I am no techie and certainly not a nerd I have been using computers since 1998 and kept pretty well up to date. I co host two blogs www.50pluslifedesign.com and www.thelifedesignstudio.com and offer a world beating stop smoking program on my site www.stopsmokingconsultants.com

Then WHY isn’t this internet marketing bonanza happening for me?

I think it probably is because I am suffering from NBT syndrome (Stands for Next Big Thing) – the pace at which the internet marketing business moves and changes is bewildering. Every day something new and fascinating comes along and its off with the old and on with the new.

Well it is time to stop – put on the brakes – choose one path to follow and put all my available time and energy into one endeavour and see it through to completion.

Will I succeed? – How will I do?

My Public Commitment

‘From today , 15^th July 2009, I Anthony J Bennett, will commit two hours a day (12 hours a week) to building a thriving internet business which will provide me with a passive income in excess of six figures per annum by 14^th July 2012’

Do you want to follow me? Laugh at my mistakes, learn from my errors, help and advise me and through me others when you see me making a wrong move or making wrong choice?
