Internet Marketing, Blogging, And The FTC

October 8th, 2009

So you want to start a blog to promote a product, recommend a service, or eventually attract advertisers who may want you to review their products and services.

Ladies and gents, say hello to big brother.

The FTC has announced that it will be watching blogs for “product reviews” and appropriate disclaimers.  In other words, be very, VERY careful about what you write about and what you state.

For instance, if you write about a weight loss product, the standard “results not typical” MAY NOT WORK as a legitimate disclaimer.  So if you write a story about someone losing 50 lbs, writing this:

“Results not typical.  Individual results may vary.”

may not cut it.  Nope….Big Brother takes it one step further.  They want you to state what typical results are for anyone who purchases the product.

In fact, Frank Kern has a humorous post on what the FTC wants.

Now…I respect the intentions of what the FTC is trying to do.  I mean, its really freakin’ easy to put up a website, a few false testimonials, and sell a product.

Real easy.

But…..

There are a lot of bloggers out there that build network marketing companies.  Are they going to have to point to their companies earning disclaimers on every post?

What about traditional companies or the owners who use a blog to communicate great things about their company.  What disclosures do they need?

The bottom line is, government control can be taken too far.  This may be one of those great examples which causes an industry to have to rethink how it operates…..some for the good, some for the bad.

Which makes me write….results not typical when reading this post.  Most who read my junk do absolutely nothing and wonder why they are not growing as Internet marketers, network marketers, or entrepreneurs.

Network Marketing, Internet Marketing, Entrepreneurs, And Conditioning Your Mind For Success – Building A Dream Wall To Keep Focused On Your Goals And Dreams

August 27th, 2009
Dream wall mirror

Dream wall mirror

You are probably wondering why I am posting stuff on my bathroom mirror, taking pictures of it, and posting it on the Internet for all to see.

This, my friends, is one of my “dream walls.”  More on the dream wall in a minute…

I’m learning from watch a lot of mindset videos from Tony Robbins.  What I’m learning more than anything is to do things I was taught a long time ago to do, but just never did (and wondering why I’m not where I need to be).

That is, I need to be keeping my goals in front of me.  I must keep my desires in front of me at all times.

And more than anything, I have to know…not just believe…but know that I will achieve these things, that I will have all of my desires and goals accomplished.

Hence, the dream wall.

The dream all is simply a collection of pictures surrounding my “Why” or my purpose in working my network marketing home based business.  It includes the material things I want to have for my family and I as well as the list of reasons I work my tail off.

If you do not have a dream wall, or at least have your why’s in front of you, I encourage you to do so.

Expect a “why a dream wall” post with more pictures tomorrow.

And for anyone wanting to earn extra money from home with a home based business, I believe I represent the best opportunity for both the new person and the experienced home based business entrepreneur.

1.  One domain purchased for you.
2.  Hosting for that one domain as long as you are building with Zurvita
3.  Free access to http://www.MyEndlessMLMLeads.com Internet Marketing Training, plus resale rights and rights to give it to your team

Internet Marketing 90 Day Challenge – Round 2 Begins!

July 6th, 2009

My home business company is doing some really great things in the very near future, and I’ve been working hard to begin building my home based business through Internet Marketing fairly consistently over the last several weeks.

So knowing that, I figured it is time to step up to the plate and offer:

Internet Marketing 90 Day Challenge – Round 2!

I’m doing this in conjunctino with my P90X exercises (starting a 2nd round tomorrow as well), so I can keep on a fairly close schedule between the two.  In fact, I’ll probably video log about both in the same night if I get a chance (short amount of time to get work done, including video work, and get to bed early enough to get the workout in).

So what are my daily goals?

1.  Blog regularly.  No less than 4 times a week per blog, on most of them I hope to do more.  Blogging is a great way to release creativity and draw hits to your site.

2.  Comment on blogs.  I didn’t do this the first time around but now I am.

3.  Articles.  I have some older PLR articles that I hope to retool a bit and submit to as many different article directories (with the exception of 1, which I’d have to completely rewrite each article to submit to it).  Also plan to write a few here and there on my own as I can get around to it.

4.  Videos, of course.

5.  Social Networking – I plan to try to use MySpace and Twitter more for networking.  I do not view Facebook as a great “networking” tool or promotional tool yet, but people follow what I do.

6.  Learn – Its best to keep learning and keep growing.

7.  Keep accountable.

8.  Involve the wife.  I’m beginning to teach her some of the basic stuff I do.  If she can handle some of it, it will lighten my work load at night.

So with that, here I go.  I hope to have enough time to blog here and my other blogs and keep enough accountability going by using this blog to give daily progress reports.  It’ll be tight trying to fit everything in…but I expect great results from doing this.

So be looking for my Internet Marketing challenge update tomorrow!

Internet Marketing In The Home Business “Summer Slump”

June 24th, 2009

I’m back from a brief hiatus from posting….and back to Internet marketing!

For those that don’t know, my wife had our 3rd beautiful baby girl.

So during the last few weeks as we have been preparing for the new arrival, I’ve been looking at what I want to accomplish in the next 90 days.  I’ve been thinking of which Internet marketing methods I’m going to focus on, what niche’s I’m going to target, and other products I’m looking to offer.

Here is what I do know will happen with my new Internet Marketing challenge:

1.  There is a new Internet marketing education product I will begin marketing soon.  This will teach you how to market your home business using a LOT of different methods that are proven.  It will not be just one small eBook – rather it will be a rather large subscription based website that will offer a LIFETIME membership for one low price.  Information will be updated, new ideas taught, and videos refreshed.

And here is the BEST part…

You can get the entire Internet Marketing system for FREE!  Details to come….

2.  Along with everything I’m going to be taking on 3-5 individuals per month to help tutor them on Internet Marketing, giving them free hosting on my servers and helping them turn a home business profit through Internet marketing.  I may take more, but 3-5 will definitely happen.

3.  Finally, my goal is to help at least 10 people start with my home business and make it to the first two management levels.  In my business, that means you can make a good monthly income and a decent residual income without tons of hoops or hurdles to clear.

I’ll be posting more about my Internet marketing…as well as begin a second round of P90X that I will be doing in tandem.  =)

Accidental Internet Marketing

March 25th, 2009

I have an interesting story about an accidental Internet marketing experience I’m having.

As I noted earlier, I started a blog about my P90X workouts.

Yes, I’m using my typical Wordpress techniques and on-page SEO techniques that I use.  But I never expected to see the amount of traffic to come in with so little off-page efforts, promotion, or anything else.  Just simply blogging…

But in one week I’ve had 128 visits, most of those in the last 3 days.  86 of those are from search engines (the only other places I’ve promoted were two forums and Facebook).

Now, I’m doing nothing to monetize this blog (yet), but simply keeping it as a daily journal of what I am doing with my P90X workouts, dieting, etc.

But my point is this…

If there is a popular activity in your life that you do regularly, blog about it.  Build a readers base, build a rapport, and then introduce a way to make money off of the blog (Adsense, affiliate sales, whatever).  You do not necessarily have to do a lot with the blog, just keep updating it regularly with something you do.

When The Going Gets Tough…

March 12th, 2009

When the going gets tough…

… the tough work harder!

I received some news today that an income source my family has will be going away in the next couple of weeks.  Now, at first the news is a bit stressful (after all, we have financial goals we are trying to meet).

But then it hit me:  I have nothing to worry about.  I just simply need to work harder.

I truly believe that in Internet marketing, network marketing, or any type of entrepreneurial endeavour that we take one we can either let minor setbacks destroy us or we can simply take the opportunity to make things better.  We can take the opportunity to get  completely stressed, or we can use it as motivation to work harder.

I’m simply choosing to work harder.

Not everything is going to go according to play 100% of the time.  I think we all realize that.  We cannot control everything, especially things outside of what we personally can make decision on.

But what we can control is how we choose to react and to circumstances.

If something comes up that is not perfect, make a decision to work harder.

Losing an income stream?  Work harder.

Niche becoming saturated?  Work harder.

Have someone quit your business?  Work harder.

But whatever you do, dictate how you will react to the circumstances instead of letting the circumstance dictate how you.

Can The Unsuccessful Marketer Still Posture?

March 5th, 2009

I was inspired by a forum post I replied to today to begin thinking about this very concept:

Can someone who appears to be “unsuccessful” still posture in their home business?  In particular, can they still command authority in dealing with potential customers or business partners?

The question on the forum was how to handle “call backs.”  In particular, how many times you call back, how to handle it if they are not there for a set appointment, and all of the other issues around dealing with prospects in this manner.

As I am sure you know, it is easy to feel “beaten down” if you are not a six figure earner or full-time with your company.  Or if you’ve been in a “slump” it can feel that you are unsuccessful.

When this happens, you can have a tendency to lose posture.  And when you lose posture, you give too much control of the conversations to the people you are talking to, you lose faith in your ability to talk confidently about what you do, and you will often come across as desperate.  In other words, you fail to present yourself as an authority and a valuable asset for the new potential business partner.  After all, they are choosing you as much as your company.

So what does it take to regain posture in dealing with potential business partners?

First, become the “successful” marketer.  To me, you do not have to be enrolling tons of people to be a successful markter.  Yes, that will be an eventual byproduct of successful marketing, but it takes time to build up to.

To become a successful marketer then means to do just that:  Market.

I had to take a break from my business in the fall to deal with a health issue with my wife.  Doing that really through me out of the loop in several aspects.  My opt-ins fell, phone conversations went down, and I lost momentum.  It appeared I was running on the path of being an “unsuccessful” marketer.  And I’m sure I am not alone in this happening….it happens all the time in the industry.

But I knew that I could be successful once again.  It took consistent action, dedication, and serious work ethic, but doing this put me back on the side of being a successful marketer.

Do you know what happened?

-  My traffic increased

-  My opt-ins increased

-  The phone started ringing again

-  I began to feel good about the process again

And when all of this started happening, I could posture quite well in my conversations.  I feel good about what I am talking about now to people contacting me.  With what I’ve learned and the actions I’m taking, I can confidently say that what I offer is valuable to them.  I do not come across as desperate, and I do not have to beg for call backs.

In short, the best way to regain posture is to make yourself busy with the work of the business.  Doing this will “fill the funnel” and give you more people to talk to.  When you have more people to talk to, you are not desperate to sign up everyone you talk to.  Your conversations become more meaningful and you come across as someone who can help a person get to where they want to go, even if you are working on going there yourself.
