Listening to the call on Monday, I realized that my main focus right now is to do ezine solo ads so that I can drive more people to my site more effectively. Up until now, I’ve been trying to mostly do free stuff: traffic exchanges, link exchange, forum posting, etc. And, I’ve been having success, but slowly. I had set up a few low cost ezine solo ads, but was trying not to do too much there so that I could reduce my expenses. Well, today was the first day one of my ads went out. Can you say “drive the point homeâ€!?! Well, the ad went out and the number of members that have joined me skyrocketed! I went from 12 yesterday to 20 this morning, to 30 this afternoon and still climbing! So, I’ve learned my lesson… I need to do them and put out the money for them because they are effective. So, I spent my day first fixing up my Blog including completing the move to Wordpress.com. I started my blog on Blogger (blogspot.com), but found the interface to be very limiting and I couldn’t change the sidebar without digging into the HTML. I then set up a Typo blog on my own domain, but decided that I didn’t want to spend the time to maintain it. So, I moved to Wordpress (wordpress.com). Of the three, Typo is the best – nice interface, AJAX to make things go more smoothly and nice sidebar features. Wordpress is a close second and since it has a free server to host the blogs on that I don’t have to maintain, I’ll use it and recommend it. When someone creates a free Typo server, though, I’ll probably move to it. Then, I began checking out all the ezines listed in the start up guide. I want to see what is there and how they are formatted, so the first thing I did was subscribe to a large majority of them. I didn’t want them cluttering up my inbox though, so I created a new address specifically for this (really easy when you have your own domain – someday I’ll have to write up a little article on some email tricks you can do to make this easy). This way I can see both the newsletters themselves and the solo ads that others have done. I didn’t set up any new solo ads today. Tomorrow, I will take a closer look at all those ezines and start figuring out where best to put my ads. I also need to learn about link branding and tracking so that I can track these and determine which ads and which ezines do the best. In the process of checking out these ezines, I found what appears to be a terrific 58 Part Internet Marketing eCourse. I’m sure that we’ll be covering much of the material in the Tycoon training, but extra resources can’t hurt, so I requested it for free and will be reviewing it as it arrives. Of course, I also spent some time doing traffic exchanges, both autosurf ones and manual surf. I’ll try to list a few that I use each time I blog:
I have to say that all those new members really get the blood pumping! I am so excited! Posts with titles like this will be my notes from different trainings that I go to. So, this post is about the Wealth Building Tycoon Training on 14 August 2006. At this session we started by talking about the numbers – the exact ones that I used a my goals in my previous post about this training, so I won’t include it here. Next we talked about developing a millionaire mindset. This is so incredibly important, because what we think is what will actually happen to us. So, as part of my millionaire mind set, I believe that: $140,000/month is achievable And believe me, that is a huge leap for me. Right now, my only income is from SSDI and believe me that’s not much! However, I do believe that that is achievable. I know others that make a great deal of money each month and I can be one of them. I will have 833 members/month Focus on doing business at times that we have – massive commitment. When we might do other things such as watching TV and other activities we can work on this. It’s important to develop yourself as well, so don’t ignore your personal time. Check out Simpleology to help create the mindset of building your business. Do the success guide – but do more of it – 20-50 times more. #1 Focus: Drive massive traffic to your site: 28,000/month -> 7,000/week -> 1,000/day 2 commitments: Learn the business, Apply it Remember if you put the effort in and fall short, you’ll still have a tremendous number of members and make money! Leverage yourself and your time At the end we talked about specific strategies that have shown success: Rick noted that of the over 400 members he’s gotten in the last month, 296 came from ezine advertisements, 129 came from all other sources (I can’t guarantee I wrote the numbers down right, but you get the idea). This tells me that ezines is where I need to focus primarily. He also commented that ezines are a short term strategy – he would not want to depend on them in the long term. When asked how he’d rate the success of his different marketing techniques, he said:
He said he did not think that safelists/ffas, guaranteed traffic, or online classifieds produced much results Our goal is to find like-minded people where PiF4P makes sense to them. On Monday, Pay It Forward 4 Profits (PiF4P) held their very first Wealth Building Tycoon Training. It was great! Rich Jorgensen started in PiF4P only 2 months ago, but already has enrolled 600 members! This guy knows how to do it and I will be learning from him! The highest level in PiF4P (at the moment) is Wealth Building Tycoon so that’s where the name of the training comes from. You become a Wealth Building Tycoon when you have 10,000 members. This training will discuss advanced techniques to get to that goal. It is not for whiners or people who don’t want to work at things. It’s not a place to ask how to use this tool or that program (there are other training calls for that). It is the place to get concrete marketing strategies to put into place. So, here’s my goal:
Yes, I’m setting the mark high! But, I believe it is achievable and I am going to go for it! Boy do I have a long way to go… 30 is nowhere near 833, so I will be working hard. Stay tuned to find out what I’ll be doing. I invite you to join us! Come see what this training is all about. Now, if you are brand new to PiF4P, take a few days to really familiarize with everything and get started following the Success Guide before you come join us for Wealth Building Tycoon Training. After you’ve gotten started come join us and become a Wealth Building Tycoon with us! And remember, I’ve only been doing this for two weeks and I was a total newbie at this, so it shouldn’t take you long to get familiar and ready to jump into this training. I originally wrote this article after about 1 week into my Pay It Forward 4 Profits experience. It’s poorly named (so I renamed it), but I wanted to include it here for because it does contain some good information about getting started. You can find this also at my original blog site (which doesn’t have much on it because I decided to move here instead) on blogger: http://www.rosinabignall.blogger.com/ Marketing Success The Problem Over and over and over again I’ve started. I get involved in this program or that program. I’ve tried again and again to make something, anything to work. So many times, in fact, that I had basically given up. All I did was spend money, but rarely, if ever, did I have anyone in my downline and never made anything close to a decent income. Sound familiar? You see, I am not a sales person. No matter how excited I am about something, I cannot bring myself to encourage someone enough to get them started actually doing something even if I think it will be great for them. I’m happy to give it to them instead. I want to help them so much, that I just end up giving it away. But, then I don’t have enough money myself to survive because I’m not bringing anything in – let alone getting other people into the business so that I can get that elusive residual income. The Solution But, I finally found something that will actually work for people like me. You see, here’s the secret: don’t sell anyone. That’s heresy, I know. But, see when people want to buy, they will. All I have to do, then, is get the information out to people and let them act on it when they are ready. I love to do that, and I’m pretty good at it. Like most people, I love to share information about things that I’m excited about. With this system, all I have to do is get people in the door (share the information) and the system does the rest. It keeps contacting them, it keeps telling them about it until they either join or tell it to stop (and, in that case, I don’t have to feel rejected because they didn’t tell me directly – they told the system and it told me). Wow! All I have to do is the part that I love to do anyway – tell them about it! How great is that!?! The Process So, here’s how you go about it. Sign up for Pay It Forward 4 Profits: http://payitforward4profits.com/. This step is free! And, in the process, you’ll get three websites that you can use to share with people all about this business. Now, log into the member area. Once you get in there, you’ll find that there is an Internet Marketing Success Guide. So, the next step is to follow it! The Internet Marketing Success Guide will take you through step by step through the programs you will need to join to make money and then show you simple ways to share the information with others, to get people to your site, so that they can join and then you all make money. You’ll learn about your market, who your target market is and the all imporant how to market to that audience. The guide is set up in easy tasks that you can do one day at a time so that it does not become overwhelming. So, you see, all the training, all the tools are all in place to already help you succeed before you even start. All I had to do was start. Following this was so easy that by the time I had been working on it a week, I already had people in my downline – not just 1 either! For someone that’s had trouble getting even 1 person after months of work, getting even 1 after less than a week and more than one by the end of a week is absolutely incredible! |
