In this Lead Skim­mer Review we will be dis­cussing what Lead Skim­mer is and how it works.

We came across Lead Skim­mer last week and thought we would check it out.

So what is Lead Skimmer?

Lead Skim­mer is a new and very effec­tive tool that we just started using that will help you…

•  gen­er­ate leads 3x faster than you could do on your own.
• build an online income for your­self 3x faster! 3x more money!
• increase the num­ber of real opt-in leads being added to your list daily and increase the money being deposited into your account every month.

These are real live peo­ple opt­ing in to your per­sonal con­tact list.

Not junk leads that are old and have been sold over and over again.

You will be blown away at how quickly this works.

Lead Skim­mer is FREE to join but you can upgrade for a one time fee of $44.95 and put your pri­mary busi­ness on the back end of the sys­tem and you earn $25.00 for each per­son who upgrades.

In 4 days we have gen­er­ated 193 leads with 3 upgrades at $25.00 com­mis­sion each so the upgrade has more than paid for itself already

You can never have to many leads in this industry.

To Your Success,

We wanted to write this blog to let you in on some big changes we are mak­ing in our life.

Com­pany Jumping.…You bet­ter think twice!

In this indus­try, a lot of peo­ple speak neg­a­tively about com­pany jumpers and rightly so,

Integrity.….

Action!   

Thank you for your faith and trust in us. We truly are pas­sion­ate about help­ing oth­ers to build empires of wealth enjoy­ing true finan­cial and time free­dom. If you want to join us on our epic adven­ture, come along and we’ll see you on the beaches of the world! 

Do you pre­judge oth­ers? We’re going to explain exactly why Pre­judg­ing is a Huge Mis­take in Net­work Marketing.

We have to say we are guilty as charged when it comes to pre­judg­ing in Net­work Mar­ket­ing. We’re going to list a few exam­ples of how oth­ers, includ­ing our­selves, have done this and we’d like your input as well.

One exam­ple of pre­judg­ing is that we used to think all net­work mar­ket­ing was a bunch of pyra­mid scams. We were une­d­u­cated and fool­ish to think this. We had heard that peo­ple were taken advan­tage of and never really made any real money– legally, that is. This is sim­ply absurd. Times have changed, the econ­omy has changed and now is the time to get with the pro­gram and have mul­ti­ple streams of income. Net­work Mar­ket­ing is the way to go!

The real pyra­mid scam is work­ing for a cor­po­ra­tion or a com­pany for 40 years only to serve them and then get laid off due to down­siz­ing. Instead of your boss aka the Pres­i­dent being on the top of the pyra­mid with all the stuffy, uptight Vice Pres­i­dents and Man­agers, wouldn’t it make more sense to take charge of your own future, YOU be at the top of the dia­gram, put it to the gov­ern­ment and help oth­ers do the same?

Another exam­ple of pre­judg­ing in Net­work Mar­ket­ing is think­ing that some­one who is of great stature is too good to work with you. This per­son may already be mak­ing tons of money, is well known, and maybe is even a guru but you can’t pre­judge. That is a huge mis­take. Smart, edu­cated and even rich peo­ple often are look­ing for more streams of income or ways to help oth­ers. Even if they don’t choose to work with you or buy your prod­ucts, they can some­times be a great resource for referrals.

Another pre­judg­ing mis­take in Net­work Mar­ket­ing would be to think that some­one doesn’t have the money to join you or your oppor­tu­nity. You never know what some­one is going through and what they would do to change it. If they have a pow­er­ful enough “why” then they’ll do what­ever it takes to change their cir­cum­stances for the better.

My, (Feli­cia aka Flea), per­sonal expe­ri­ence with Pre­judg­ing in Net­work Mar­ket­ing:

I actu­ally have been want­ing to con­tact an old high school acquain­tance named Rick for awhile about a blog­ging oppor­tu­nity that could help him and his fam­ily, but was too afraid to con­tact him for fear of crit­i­cism. Not sure why, but he intim­i­dated me for some rea­son. He was extremely pop­u­lar in school and still is with his peers. He is extremely opin­ion­ated and extremely smart. He writes some of the fun­ni­est posts on his blog and could be mon­e­tiz­ing it to his advantage.

I’m not afraid of rejec­tion as I’ve grown accus­tomed to get­ting no’s in this busi­ness, but I was afraid what he might think or say, which is really stu­pid as I barely know the guy and really don’t care what he thinks. I have enough con­fi­dence in myself and in what we’re doing that I real­ize this high school men­tally of try­ing to fit in with the “cool” kid was fool­ish. I went ahead and con­tacted him about mon­e­tiz­ing his blog through the Empower Net­work and so we’ll see. Either way, I would be doing Rick, our­selves, and the world a great injus­tice if I kept what we’re doing secret so I’m glad I shared.

In the Net­work Mar­ket­ing arena, you’ll soon real­ize that peo­ple come from all walks of life and these make for the most pow­er­ful suc­cess sto­ries on the planet.

The point of this post is to let you know that some­times we can be our own worst enemy. Step out of your com­fort zone and quit pre­judg­ing. You never know until you ask. Share the goods with oth­ers. If you have a pas­sion for some­thing and are tak­ing action to make your dreams hap­pen, then be con­fi­dent with your choice to do such. Empower your­self and empower oth­ers! Life is too short, take risks. You’ll be glad you did, espe­cially when you start get­ting results and your life changes for the bet­ter. Net­work Mar­ket­ing Rules!

“Hap­pi­ness is not some­thing you post­pone for the future; it is
some­thing you design for the present.” ~ Jim Rohn

Please share your expe­ri­ences with pre­judg­ing in Net­work Mar­ket­ing. We’d love to hear from you! The good, the bad and every­thing in between. The Net­work Mar­ket­ing com­mu­nity gives us the resources to have more time and finan­cial free­dom so we can live life as an epic adven­ture with those we love the most!

#1 of 7 Blog­ging Tips-

If you are mar­ket­ing on the inter­net, you must link your busi­ness web­site to your blog. This should be a “given”, but if you’re new to the blog­ging world, you may not know. That’s ok. You know now.

#2 of 7 Blog­ging Tips -

Think about the con­tent you are shar­ing. Is it too focused on prod­ucts, full of hype or pitchy sound­ing or are you offer­ing value to help oth­ers either through edu­ca­tional data or real life tes­ti­monies? You don’t have to be a guru or know it all…just offer some­thing like tips on how to be suc­cess­ful in net­work mar­ket­ing, video mar­ket­ing tips, blog­ging tips, etc.

Is your blog too much about you and how great you are OR are you shar­ing per­sonal fail­ures as well as suc­cess sto­ries? Start doing research before you blog and use thought pro­vok­ing con­tent in order to attract qual­ity peo­ple to what­ever it is you’re offer­ing. It is good idea to ask your read­ers ques­tions to get them involved. You could ask for their input for instance, “What are some killer blog­ging tips that YOU can offer?”

Last, but not least-Always be your­self! Be authen­tic! We can’t stress this enough.

Are you enjoy­ing these blog­ging tips so far? Cool! Let’s move on, shall we?

#3 of 7 Blog­ging Tips-

Here’s one of those tricky blog­ging tips.….Pub­lish blog con­tent fre­quently or reg­u­larly. We are guilty of being lack­adaisi­cal in this depart­ment. We always talk about con­sis­tency in the net­work mar­ket­ing indus­try, and yet we don’t always walk the walk when talk­ing the talk. We do take action though, which is most impor­tant. We are works in progress just like the rest of you. We have no excuse. It’s proven that if you’re con­sis­tent, more peo­ple will fol­low you. This takes focus. You may have to shut every­thing out for a cer­tain amount of time in order to really focus on the tasks at hand. Turn off the t.v.,video games,  phones, etc. –NO dis­trac­tions! Go some­where quiet and get to work. Come up with a sched­ule and stick to it.

#4 of 7 Blog­ging Tips:

Opti­mize your blog with cer­tain key­words in order to rank high in the search engines. SEO stands for search engine opti­miza­tion and this can be dif­fi­cult to under­stand for new­bees, even we strug­gle with it at times.

Basi­cally you just want to make sure that what­ever sub­ject you are writ­ing about has the key­words in the title of the post and then as many times as pos­si­ble through­out the post as well. There are some other blog­ging tips and tricks like mak­ing the key­word bold, ital­i­cized and even under­lined. Hav­ing H2 and H3 head­lines are per­ti­nent to have as well.

Installing the Easy WP SEO plu­gin on your blog is essen­tial to you being able to track what works and what doesn’t.

#5 of 7 Blog­ging Tips-

Pro­mote your con­tent on social media. You can do this via social net­works and social media sites. You sim­ply brand your­self on such sites, cre­at­ing a pres­ence where oth­ers look to you for value, then share your newest blog post link like this one:  7 Blog­ging Tips in groups, forums, on your pro­file, etc. Also be sure oth­ers can share your con­tent by adding social but­tons onto your blog. How’s that for some cool blog­ging tips?

We rec­om­mend the fol­low­ing  plug-ins on WordPress:

• Tweet, Like, Google+1, and Share
• Com­mentluv
• Sexy Book­marks

You can find these by going to your WP dash­board, click on the plug ins tab and search the afore­men­tioned plu­g­ins and then click install.

#6 of 7 Blog­ging Tips-

Opti­mize lead gen­er­a­tion on your blog by mak­ing sure you have CTA’s every­where. CTA stands for Call to Action. You need to have CTA’s on the top and side­bars of your blog as well as on every sin­gle blog post you write.

It ‘s actu­ally the same con­cept as My Free Cash Machine but with a more pro­fes­sional look and name. Although we had suc­cess with that sys­tem we always thought it sounded a lit­tle cheesy and spammy. ( Is that even a word?) LOL!

These large com­pa­nies such as Direct TV,CreditReport.com ‚Equifax,Proactiv and oth­ers are will­ing to pay you $20.00 to send them customers.

If you are in already in a net­work mar­ket­ing com­pany The Daily Income Net­work is a great feeder pro­gram and a way to gen­er­ate leads, make some extra money and cover your mar­ket­ing costs for your pri­mary busi­ness.

To Your Empowerment,

We feel that we have to Come Clean About what’s hap­pen­ing in Our Home Based Busi­ness so we will!

Feli­cia here and I wanted to share with you some per­sonal aspects of what’s been going on (yet again lol)…

Recently I read an arti­cle about 15 Waste­ful Habits of  Unpro­duc­tive and Unsuc­cess­ful Part Time Blog­gers by Noe Lani Kee and it said that if you have been away from blog­ging for awhile to be open and hon­est about why, so here it goes.…

So many things have hap­pened in our per­sonal lives lately that it has been a def­i­nite dis­trac­tion both men­tally and  phys­i­cally.  I know I’ve spoke on this sub­ject before, but I have to say that we are even more deter­mined to suc­ceed than ever before. There’s no point in beat­ing our­selves up for it, we all go through things and come out of them in our own time. The main point is we have to come out of them-period! At least if you want hap­pi­ness and suc­cess, that is.

Among the many losses we’ve suf­fered over the past few years, it turns out another change of events has unexpectedly occurred.

On New Year’s Eve my sis­ter  Diana  had a  dou­ble aneurysm and has been in crit­i­cal con­di­tion on life sup­port. She is the only sib­ling that I truly feel close to that’s left. My other step sis­ter Denise and I just sim­ply clash. Not sure why, just a dif­fer­ence of per­son­al­ity and beliefs. It’s all good though, it is what it is. I for­give her and love her, but I’ll go into more on that sub­ject in a few. Back to Diana.…of course, that kind of sit­u­a­tion is going to be a detourant from busi­ness and total func­tion­al­ity. She has been in my life since I was 4 years old. She has the kind­est, most lov­ing heart and although she’s 10 yrs. older, she is more like a teenager at heart. As of today, she is doing much bet­ter. She is now off of life sup­port, breath­ing on her own and is more respon­sive and aware, but still has a long recov­ery process ahead of her.

Need­less to say, maybe because of the recent losses it has clouded my judg­ment and made me very fear­ful. I was so afraid of los­ing yet another loved one that I crawled into a shell and shut down. I had been bat­tling some health issues myself, so all the more rea­son to jump on the pity train and take off. Right? WRONG! Life hap­pens some­times and at times there are sit­u­a­tions beyond our con­trol but it’s how we han­dle them that can either make us or break us.

Self pity is the worst thing you do. It doesn’t help any­one, it only hurts you and all those around you. It shows a lack of faith. As I’ve said before we’re only human and all fall short of the glory of God. This is why I’m so thank­ful for my faith. I know that I have a lov­ing , for­giv­ing, mer­ci­ful Father who is still mold­ing me and shap­ing my life.

Fol­low­ing are some more rea­sons why we are more deter­mined than ever to get back to our home based business.…

Brian has been work­ing a full time job doing com­mer­cial con­struc­tion cabling. The job is not sta­ble, too hard on his body (we are get­ting older and phys­i­cally demand­ing jobs are not the best), co-workers with no vision or com­pat­i­bil­ity, fight­ing the ele­ments of mother nature, etc. etc. So many rea­sons why work­ing for some­one else is not grat­i­fy­ing. We want con­trol, time and finan­cial free­dom along with tax advan­tages so we push on…

With me, I have been work­ing full time with both of my sis­ters at a title search­ing com­pany in down­town Colum­bus. (Not a sta­ble job either, but what job is these days?) Even before the event with my sis­ter Diana, we had all been mis­er­able with our job. Our sis­ter Denise is quite a chal­lenge to deal with on a daily basis. I’m not try­ing to talk bad about her, just stat­ing facts. In fact, some of her anger is some­what jus­ti­fied as the way the com­pany is run, the dis­or­ga­ni­za­tion, and the piss poor man­age­ment is absolutely mad­den­ing but it doesn’t help that she has a very neg­a­tive mind­set to begin with  and at the age of 50 throws tantrums that pale in com­par­i­son to a 2 yr. old. when things don’t go her way or the slight­est thing goes wrong. (I.E. her copier/scanner runs out of paper) Boy, look out! Heaven for­bid she has to get up off her a** and put more paper in the machine. Wow! Every­thing that comes out of her mouth is evil and neg­a­tive. This toxic envi­ron­ment makes it very hard to maintain.

My sis­ter Diana is more like me, wants to see the good in things and deals with prob­lems or stress in a much more dig­ni­fied man­ner. We tried to stay pos­i­tive despite Denise’s melt­downs, but it was/is get­ting harder every day to do so.   Now, with­out my sis­ter Diana to help off­set the crazy, it’s even more like a night­mare. You see, you can’t change other peo­ple, you can only con­trol how you han­dle yourself. However, when you are in a toxic envi­ron­ment day in and day out, it starts pulling you under with it no mat­ter how hard you try to stay afloat. Are You in a Toxic Envi­ron­ment? This envi­ron­ment starts suck­ing the life out of you and you have noth­ing left to give to a home based busi­ness at the end of the day, or so I thought.

This is the exact men­tally that you don’t want to have. This is exactly why you have to fight ever harder to over­come. There’s no sense in com­plain­ing or whin­ing. It’s time to Nut Up or Shut Up!

Brian and I choose to not hang around neg­a­tive peo­ple in our per­sonal lives, so why do we in our pro­fes­sional lives?  Well, I don’t know, but it’s high time that we do some­thing about it. Remem­ber, it is well known that you are the aver­age of the top 5 peo­ple you hang around the most!

“It’s not what’s hap­pen­ing to you now or what has hap­pened in your past that deter­mines who you become. Rather, it’s your deci­sions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you’re going to do about them that will deter­mine your ulti­mate des­tiny.”
~Anthony Robbins

We all have choices. We have the choice of where we work, who we are around, where we want to live, how much money we want to make, what is most impor­tant. Never Give Up! 

We choose to be suc­cess­ful in our home based busi­ness. We choose to bust our butts until we reach the level where we  lever­age the efforts of our part­ners that want the same and then retire. We choose to have more time and finan­cial free­dom. We choose to travel and make new and inter­est­ing friends who are like minded and pos­i­tive. We choose to help oth­ers and ulti­mately choose to fol­low God.

I know this is a lot of per­sonal stuff. My hope is to reach some of you out there who may be hav­ing some per­sonal strug­gles as well and real­ize that we all go through them. You have to have a pow­er­ful enough “why” to do some­thing about it and take action, even when you don’t “feel” like it.

Do You Have the Right Mind­set? Yet another rea­son to con­sis­tently work on per­sonal devel­op­ment to off­set the tri­als and tribu­la­tions of every day life.  Read­ing good books are absolutely essen­tial. Visu­al­iza­tion and med­i­ta­tion are also must do’s to stay grounded. Yoga, eat­ing right and stay­ing hydrated are also some good ways to stay healthy men­tally and physically.

If we can do it, YOU can too!

On a side note, we’re extremely thank­ful for our pos­i­tive friends and biz part­ners in the net­work mar­ket­ing arena who lift us up and encour­age us to keep push­ing for­ward. It’s great to be a  part of such a won­der­ful com­mu­nity of like minded peo­ple who really care and want the best for you!

To Your Success,

 Let me ask you something.…do YOU ever feel like quit­ting Net­work Marketing ?

I’m sure you have at least thought about it or maybe you even have quit pre­vi­ous net­work mar­ket­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties in the past. It’s nat­ural to have these feel­ings. All of us do in all areas of our lives, even mar­ried cou­ples can relate to want­ing to quit sometimes.

I’ll tell you right now though, that quit­ting is not an option for THIS pow­er­house cou­ple! Fail­ures and dis­ap­point­ments will come, chal­lenges and tri­als will come, but we will NEVER give up on our dream to be finan­cially free and together for eternity.

Let me share with you some recent exam­ples of how hard this indus­try can be.…..

One day last week, I saw a face­book sta­tus of a fel­low net­work mar­keter that read, “I feel really depressed and wanna give up on life and need some­one to talk to.” So, what did I do? I reached out to him. I sent a pri­vate mes­sage to him with my phone num­ber and he called. I ended up talk­ing to him for about a half an hour and hung up the phone with tears in my eyes just hop­ing and pray­ing that he didn’t or won’t do any­thing dras­tic. I hoped my words had made a dif­fer­ence. After all, I shared some pretty per­sonal stuff with him myself, try­ing to relate to him and talk him down. I really care so much for oth­ers and the thought of some­one tak­ing their life is so scary. The scari­est part is know­ing that I’ve been there before. I’ve felt that des­per­a­tion and com­plete dev­as­ta­tion not want­ing to carry on.

Want to know why he was so upset?

It was because Christ­mas was com­ing up and he only had $100.00 to his name and the net­work mar­ket­ing com­pany he is with screwed him over. They had taken the one per­son he got in and took the credit. He got noth­ing for his efforts. How horrible! My heart and prayers go out to him. I still think of him and check on his sta­tus quite fre­quently. Us net­work mark­ers need to stick together and sup­port each other!

Truth­fully, in this game called life, there will be many dis­ap­point­ments like that. Life isn’t fair. You just can’t give them that power over you. You have to keep mov­ing for­ward. I don’t advo­cate com­pany jump­ing, but if you’re that unhappy maybe you should take a sec­ond look at your options. Most impor­tantly, work harder on per­sonal devel­op­ment so that you can be stronger when such tri­als occur.

Now, here’s another thing that just hap­pened the other day…

We got an email from one of our busi­ness part­ners stat­ing that he is quit­ting. Not because of any­thing we did or didn’t do in spon­sor­ing him, but because he just didn’t feel it was a good fit. This is some­one I spent lots of time men­tor­ing, shar­ing all our tips and plug­ging him into all the resources we had. I thought I had pre-qualified him fairly well. He said he com­pletely under­stood that it takes time to build any busi­ness and that he would be a life long cus­tomer at the very least. I’m not angry with him at all, I’m only telling you this so you know what to expect.

Do you under­stand how easy it would’ve been for us to give up and quit net­work mar­ket­ing all together?

Thank­fully, Brian and I have each other to sup­port each other, kick each other in the butt and pick each other up when things get tough. I’m telling you this not for your sym­pa­thy or to com­plain but for the pur­pose of  you real­iz­ing that we ALL have good days and bad days, we ALL have mis­for­tunes hap­pen in life, we ALL have sick­ness or ill­nesses that weigh us down at times and dis­tract you. You just have to have a pow­er­ful enough “why”.

Why did you decide to get involved with net­work mar­ket­ing and start your home based business?

Because you want more time for fam­ily, hate your job, get out of debt, tax advan­tages, etc., etc.

Here’s the thing…

You can’t get hung up on tem­po­rary tri­als. Don’t get addicted to the out­come. Just keep plug­ging away doing what you know works and keep talk­ing to more and more people.

You have to be grate­ful for what you have and the peo­ple who DO care. Pros­per where you are planted RIGHT NOW!

You see,  in this indus­try peo­ple WILL come and go. As humans we all want instant grat­i­fi­ca­tion. When oth­ers don’t get instant results they use the cop out that it’s not for them and quit. They may blame their upline or spon­sors, they may blame the com­pany, can’t afford their auto­ship, they may have a mil­lion excuses as to why they quit but at the end of the day it’s all excuses. It takes a strong per­son with great deter­mi­na­tion to suc­ceed, not just in this indus­try.… but in life!

How bad do you want it?

 “My will shall shape my future. Whether I fail or suc­ceed shall be no man’s doing but my own. I am the force: I can clear any obsta­cle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice, my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my des­tiny.” ~ Elaine Maxwell

So, the moral of the story is two-fold:

1. Take account­abil­ity for your actions or lack thereof.
2. NEVER give up!

As we close out another year I hope the gift every­one receives is know­ing that one of the great­est gifts you have ever and will ever receive is the amaz­ing tal­ent God has put inside of you! Whether you know it or not, it is there! I hope that 2012 is a year that you CHOOSE to exer­cise it, stretch your­self and reach for great­ness in your life! I promise that you will never regret truly going for it, but you will regret it if you don’t!
Expect great­ness for your life in 2012!!!

If you’re ready to take action go here!

To Your Success,

In light of the hol­i­days approaching.…We’re going to share with you how you can Be a Gift to Others!

Let me start off by say­ing this par­tic­u­lar post was writ­ten by Feli­cia (Me) for the pur­poses of shar­ing a few per­sonal sto­ries to inspire oth­ers to be the best they can be, no mat­ter what pro­fes­sion you choose.

So, first off I’d like to talk about my great grand­mother Mrs. Geral­dine Mar­tin Beck. My mother passed in July of 2011 and upon going through her belong­ings I came across a news­pa­per arti­cle (Gospel Ban­ner, national pub­li­ca­tion of the United Mis­sion­ary Church) from 1953 where my great grand­mother was awarded  the title “Mother of 1953″ in Piqua, Ohio.

The arti­cle begins with the sen­tence, “Her chil­dren shall call her blessed.” What to know why? Well, she was an extra­or­di­nary woman who was a true gift to oth­ers. She not only was the mother of five daugh­ters and two sons, all of which were pas­tors or pas­tor wives, but also had 3 fos­ter chil­dren, 14 grand­chil­dren, and an abun­dance of great grand­chil­dren and here’s the kicker.… she took care of over 300 chil­dren in her home nurs­ery over a period of years for the wel­fare department.  She had immense com­pas­sion and sym­pa­thy for oth­ers and that Godly love and pas­sion for help­ing oth­ers has con­tin­ued to shine from gen­er­a­tion to generation.

My grand­mother Pauline Zim­mer­man (Beck) was another exam­ple of a Godly woman with a desire to help oth­ers. Her and my grand­fa­ther Nor­man, served the Lord for nine years in the field of evan­ge­lism, 31 years in the pas­torate and 6 years as Dis­trict Super­in­ten­dent of the Mis­sion­ary Church. Grandma Zim­mer­man was involved in many Women’s Mis­sions work­ing closely with youth espe­cially. She and my grand­fa­ther also sang in the church choirs, my grand­fa­ther played the vio­lin and my grand­mother played the organ and piano.

My mother who recently passed, shared many tal­ents with the world as well. She went to Bethel Col­lege and won numer­ous awards as a con­cert piano player. She served in our church West­gage United Methodist Church for many years, direct­ing the church choir as well as the bell choir and my father drove the church van help­ing trans­port oth­ers who couldn’t do it on their own. He also was on the stew­ard­ship and wor­ship committees.

That being said, I come from a very rich her­itage of serv­ing oth­ers and doing the Lord’s work. I’ll be hon­est, our fam­ily doesn’t attend church at this time, but I still have a heart to do what’s right and serve oth­ers. I too, played the piano like my grand­mother and mother and sang in the church and school choirs. We have a long line of musi­cal tal­ent in our family.

I also believe I have a pas­sion for help­ing young chil­dren much like my great grand­mother as we did fos­ter a lit­tle girl named Jas­mine a few years ago. It was prob­a­bly one of the hard­est things to let go when her father wanted to take her back to Pales­tine but I’m thank­ful for the time she did live with us. We def­i­nitely con­sid­ered her our daugh­ter. She touched our hearts in a very pro­found way and we miss her dearly to this day.

Now, our pas­sion is to help oth­ers in the net­work mar­ket­ing indus­try. We want oth­ers to find what­ever it is they are pas­sion­ate about and just do it. There are so many home based busi­ness oppor­tu­ni­ties and ways to make money from home these days, thus allow­ing more time with our fam­i­lies which is so impor­tant in this day and age.

See, we all have strengths and weak­nesses, but what­ever strengths you have, we strongly sug­gest you share them with the world espe­cially dur­ing the hol­i­day sea­son. You don’t know how many peo­ple may be struggling.….financially, emo­tion­ally, phys­i­cally or otherwise.

Here are some ways you can help:

• vol­un­teer at a soup kitchen
• spend time with the elderly (singing, read­ing, or just listening)
• donate money to your favorite charities
• donate cloth­ing items or food to the homeless
• Men­tor a young teenager or sin­gle mother
• make a video show­cas­ing your tal­ents and share it with the world
• offer to babysit for some­one who is in need of a break
• start a blog shar­ing your per­sonal story of chal­lenges and tri­umphs (You can do this here)

To Your Suc­cess,

Over the past year, we’ve been asked the ques­tion if it is Pos­si­ble to Build a Home Based Busi­ness Part-Time numer­ous times.

Hon­estly, it IS!

The key is to use your time wisely and focus, focus, focus. It can be chal­leng­ing at times. Things will not always go your way. There will be dis­trac­tions, emer­gen­cies, etc. but as long as you’re tena­cious in your endeavor to become suc­cess­ful with your home based busi­ness then you’ll do great.

Results = $     

You have to remem­ber that hav­ing a home based busi­ness doesn’t pay you for your time like a nor­mal J.O.B. (Just Over Broke), you get paid for results. Hav­ing said that, you must be smart and do those income pro­duc­ing activ­i­ties like pick­ing up the phone and actu­ally con­nect­ing with people.

Yes, it’s good to attend train­ings and study what’s hap­pen­ing in the net­work mar­ket­ing indus­try, but don’t hide behind your com­puter too much and get sucked into those social net­work sites, like I have been guilty of doing.

Here’s a thought…if you only have 3 hours to work on your biz, you could:

• Spend one hour doing some type of train­ing or per­sonal devel­op­ment reading
• Spend 1 hour gen­er­at­ing leads (plac­ing ads, writ­ing a blog post, email cam­paigns, etc.)
• Spend one hour prospect­ing –AKA call­ing your leads!

Be Smart!     

If time isn’t on your side, another option would be to out­source those tasks. You don’t have to pay a for­tune either. There are sev­eral options when it comes to outsourcing.

• You can hire some­one for $5.00 per task on a web­site called Fiverr (DO YOUR RESEARCH!)
• You could hire a fam­ily mem­ber or friend
• You could hire a stu­dent at a local com­mu­nity college

“Think Big, Take Action — Con­sider that both the Empire State Build­ing and the Golden Gate Bridge were built dur­ing the Great Depres­sion. Now is a time to think big, cre­ate your vision and take action. With more peo­ple liv­ing in fear and fewer peo­ple tak­ing ini­tia­tive the rewards and recog­ni­tion will be greater for those will­ing to work hard and ded­i­cate them­selves to build­ing a great busi­ness, prod­uct, ser­vice, and vision. As we know, there is no sub­sti­tute for hard work and now is a time where those with a pos­i­tive atti­tude and great work ethic will shine.”   ~Jon Gor­don  (Check out his book called “The Energy Bus” )

 If you are ready to start work­ing from home part-time  this is a great place to start!

To Your Success,

Are Mul­ti­ple Streams of Income a Good Idea?

We would have to say yes if done right.

We have 5 streams of income, two of them are feeder pro­grams which are a great way to gen­er­ate leads quickly and make money to cover your costs for mar­ket­ing costs, auto ship costs, etc.

If you can show peo­ple how to make money quickly online and get paid daily then they are more than likely going to come to you when they want to join a pri­mary busi­ness. They are also going to stick a round if you can show them how to cover their expenses  while they build their pri­mary busi­ness, which takes time.

There are ways to make mul­ti­ple streams of income with­out being a com­pany jumper.

We have a pri­mary busi­ness (resid­ual income stream #1) You want to pick a pri­mary busi­ness that you can proudly stand behind and has a prod­uct that peo­ple want and/or need.

We use a mar­ket­ing sys­tem (lead mgmt,capture pages,auto-responder,training etc.) It has an affil­i­ate pro­gram attached to it as well (resid­ual income stream #2). There are a lot of great mar­ket­ing sys­tems out there. We have found this one to be the eas­i­est to use.

We are a part of the Empower Net­work which is a new and excit­ing blog­ging plat­form that any new­bie can eas­ily use to start blog­ging and make 100 %  instant com­mis­sions paid right to your bank account as peo­ple buy. (resid­ual income stream #3). We really wish this had been around when we started blog­ging. If you have set up a blog you know what a pain in the ass it can be. LOL! The Empower Net­work has done all the hard work for you.

We also use The Daily Income Net­work  which is a FREE to join way for peo­ple to make money online quickly and eas­ily. If some­one doesn’t have the money to join your pri­mary busi­ness, this is a good way for them  to make the money  and a good place to start in work­ing from home. It is also a great place to learn for the per­son who is just get­ting started in mak­ing money online.The back office is full of great train­ing content. It also has a VIP pack­age which gives you even more streams of income… plus you can put your pri­mary busi­ness on the back end of this sys­tem (income stream #4)

Now I know what your thinking.….where do I get leads for all the­ses streams of income?

Well we have learned to gen­er­ate leads on our own (which takes time) plus we are involved with mylead­com­pany which is Free to join and you can buy leads for as low as $24.95 a week for 200 leads.You make money by peo­ple buy­ing leads through your affil­i­ate site (resid­ual income stream #5).

You see, you CAN have mul­ti­ple streams of income with out being a com­pany jumper.

All of our streams of income are a part of out total mar­ket­ing strategy.You need all of these things to run a suc­cess­ful work from home business,so you might as well make money from all of them while build­ing your pri­mary busi­ness .We are not in 5 dif­fer­ent net­work mar­ket­ing com­pa­nies that would be a hor­ri­ble idea and may get you booted out of all them.

You may hear peo­ple say you have to con­cen­trate on one thing at a time (as they are try­ing to sell you their newest prod­uct). Absolutely, you need to con­cen­trate on your pri­mary busi­ness you also need to make money now!  While you build for the future. Believe us, all the guru’s out there are not just  mak­ing money from one source. They all use mar­ket­ing sys­tems and tools that are also sources of income for them.

In clos­ing, we would say if you have the time to pro­mote  many things at once. Go for it! If you don’t have the time, then start out small and add streams of income from tools and sys­tems you use as you go and you will be mak­ing money now while cre­at­ing mul­ti­ple streams of resid­ual income for the future.

To Your Success,

Ok, there’s no Tricks here for For­mat­ting Your Blog Posts, but there are Some Cool Tips! Check it out.….…

First and fore­most when writ­ing a blog post you MUST offer 100% valu­able qual­ity con­tent. What solu­tions do you have  in order to help oth­ers?  What cool resources or tools can you offer to help them?

Now onto the “look” of your blog posts.…

1.   Catchy Titles Rule! 

Titles are what make oth­ers decide if they want to go on read­ing your post. It has to be eye catch­ing but cer­tainly needs to per­tain to what the per­son is actu­ally read­ing about. A cool exam­ple of a pre­vi­ous blog post we did pre­vi­ously that got tons of hits and com­ments was Nut Up or Shut Up!

 2. Keep the Titles Short

  3. Write Short Paragraphs

No one wants to read lengthy unat­trac­tive text so break it down for the masses! Keep it sim­ple and appealing.

         4. Use Cool Images

By using a visu­ally appeal­ing or funny image in your blog post you will draw in oth­ers and  hold their atten­tion much longer. If it’s a longer post, con­tinue to add pics through­out the post so as to keep them engaged as they scroll down the page. We’re told, Big­ger is Bet­ter as far as images go!

 

 

        5. Face Images

Faces in images help to hold people’s gazes longer. We’re wired as humans to con­nect with other peo­ples faces so it just makes sense to use such, but use dis­cre­tion. It still needs to per­tain to what­ever you’re writ­ing about.

        6. High­light your Key Points with Sub Headers

When oth­ers are view­ing your site, they will often scan over the con­tent to see if it is rel­e­vant to what they are look­ing for so this is why you want to high­light key points with sub head­ers. Again, it catches the eye. Make sure when choos­ing a theme for your blog that it offers good head­ing tags. We use H2 and H3 quite often.

 

 

          7. Num­ber Lists and Why You Should Use Them (Sometimes).…

You cer­tainly don’t want to over use the num­ber list posts, but it can be effec­tive to draw in read­ers. Lists are neater, thus visu­ally more appeal­ing. Peo­ple love learn­ing  the top 10 tips of ___________fill in the blank. Keep in Short and Sweet!

 

             8. Spe­cific For­mat­ting Good­ies to Utilize

Using ital­ics, bold text and “block quotes” helps in break­ing up text and is visu­ally impres­sive. You can even stress “call to actions” by chang­ing the color font to red. So do it up– just don’t go too crazy with it.

 

“You were born orig­i­nal. Don’t die a copy.” ~John Mason

 

                9.  Be Authentic!

Share what you have learned with oth­ers, but put it in your own words. Your char­ac­ter and integrity are at stake. No one likes a pla­gia­rizer or some­one who’s uno­rig­i­nal… BORING! You should always be yourself!

 

               10. Have a Call to Action!

What do you want your read­ers to do? What is the pur­pose of your post? Do you want oth­ers to watch a com­pany pre­sen­ta­tion? Do you want oth­ers to com­ment, like or retweet your post? Do you want oth­ers to sign up for your newslet­ter or buy some­thing from you? It could be to research some­thing or to apply what that per­son learned from read­ing your post. What­ever it is, peo­ple need to be told what to do, so use the call to action to direct them.

 

We hope you’ve found this post ben­e­fi­cial in tweek­ing your blog so as to max­i­mize it’s effec­tive­ness with the masses.

There are 4 basic per­son­al­ity types (aka gems):

1. Sap­phires–Moti­vated by fun
2. Pearls–Moti­vated by help­ing others
3. Emer­alds–Moti­vated  by facts and figures
4. Rubies–Moti­vated by chal­lenges or the need to win

To Your Success,

This post is all about  How To Turn Pas­sive Mar­ket­ing Into Active Recruiting.

We’re going to share with you EXACTLY step-by-step.….How to Turn Pas­sive Mar­ket­ing into Active Recruiting.

Let us begin by say­ing that when done right this will help you build your busi­ness. We  use this method con­sis­tently and it works over and over again. So here it goes.…get ready for some active recruit­ing!

What we do is place image ads for our home based busi­ness on craigslist. When peo­ple click on the image in the ad it takes them to one of our many lead cap­ture pages.

Then they put in their info and watch a short video explain­ing our busi­ness oppor­tu­nity. We then give them a call and con­nect with them, this is the most impor­tant step. If you aren’t call­ing and con­nect­ing with your leads you are never going to build a net­work mar­ket­ing business. People join peo­ple not busi­nesses and it takes a lit­tle time to build trust.

With the mar­ket­ing sys­tem we use, you can con­nect with your leads on face­book and twit­ter  with just a click of a button.

Once you have them on the phone, find out what THEIR needs are. What are THEY look­ing for? We’d like to add it’s extremely impor­tant to weed through the peo­ple to QUALIFY them to work with you in your pri­mary busi­ness. Remem­ber you’re look­ing for lead­ers. They must have a pow­er­ful “why” and you find this out by ask­ing mean­ing­ful ques­tions to see how seri­ous they are about build­ing a busi­ness and chang­ing their future.

Here are some exam­ple of key ques­tions to ask:

• What made you decide to check out xyz company?
• What type of result are you look­ing for?
• How soon do you want to achieve your goals?
• Have you had any expe­ri­ence with net­work mar­ket­ing in the past?
• How much time are you will­ing to ded­i­cate to grow­ing your business?

There are a lot of ways to do pas­sive mar­ket­ing such as fliers,drop cards,post it notes but Craigslist  has worked the best for us. We have built a great team of peo­ple by using this method of turn­ing pas­sive mar­ket­ing into active recruit­ing and it can work for you as well. Remem­ber the key is not being pas­sive, but actu­ally reach­ing out and per­son­ally connecting!

To Your Success,

These 4  Laws of Suc­cess will help you in Your Home Based Busi­ness for Sure!

Our goal is to really help oth­ers be wealthy…spiritually, finan­cially, phys­i­cally and per­son­ally. Of course, we  are imple­ment­ing the fore­go­ing laws and are still works in progress, but are always work­ing towards our goals– striv­ing to be our very best.

We’ve been read­ing a very pow­er­ful book by Dani John­son called “First Steps to Wealth”, and  have high­lighted the best points out of what we’ve read thus far. We’d like to share them with you in hopes of help­ing you…

Laws of Suc­cess Cont’d:

7.  For­give­ness–This is a tough one, but extremely nec­es­sary in mov­ing for­ward in your per­sonal devel­op­ment. This has to be part of your daily life. When you don’t for­give, your mak­ing deci­sions out of bit­ter­ness and anger which kills your pro­duc­tion and cre­ativ­ity. You don’t do it for the per­son or per­sons that hurt you, you are doing for your­self so that you can have true free­dom and growth of wealth in every area of your life.

8. Law of Pro­mo­tion–You can’t change peo­ple or cir­cum­stances, but you can change how you deal with them. The law of pro­mo­tion has to do with being faith­ful with what you already have (what’s right in front of you) whether it be time, money or influ­ence. Grow and pros­per in your cur­rent cir­cum­stances and you’ll be ruler over much more time,  money and influence.

9.  Focus–Basi­cally when you are work­ing on your business…make sure you are focus­ing 100% on your busi­ness with no dis­trac­tions from any per­son, place or thing. When you are focus­ing on your fam­ily, make sure you’re not dis­tracted by busi­ness calls, com­puter, etc. Focus on what­ever you want to get good at and sched­ule times for each thing. If you want to be a bet­ter spouse or par­ent, make sure you set time aside and give it your all, heart and soul. Same goes for your busi­ness. Always sched­ule things ahead of time and stick to it with ded­i­ca­tion like none other.

10. Honor–This law is about mak­ing a REAL con­nec­tion with peo­ple far beyond just a smile. This applies per­son­ally and professionally.…people love to be hon­ored! Be sin­cere above all and ask oth­ers ques­tions using the FORM method. F-Family, O-Occupation, R-Recreation, and M-Message. What are oth­ers inter­ested and what mes­sage do you want to deliver to them. You def­i­nitely want to put the focus on them, not on yourself.

In a nut­shell, be your true unique selves, be the best you can be and treat oth­ers the way you want to be treated, then all will be well pro­fes­sion­ally and per­son­ally. Remem­ber peo­ple can tell if you’re being fake or just out to get some­thing for your­self and they won’t want to do busi­ness with you, or even be around you. You have to build trust with oth­ers and this takes time and sin­cer­ity. Be a decent human being and all that will come back to you!

It’s true peo­ple! We have had dif­fer­ent peo­ple say they wanted to work with us sim­ply because they liked who we are, our story and our hearts. What a huge honor!!! Guess what?! It’s because we honor oth­ers! Get it? Hope so!

We really hope this helps and look for­ward to shar­ing more good stuff with you soon! If you liked it, please feel free to share, tweet, digg, com­ment and like.

P.S. This post is a con­tin­u­a­tion of the past two posts, “Are You Liv­ing Your Life by Default or By Design?” and “Fly Like An Eagle to Be Free”, which dis­cuss Laws of Suc­cess 1–6.

We believe in YOU!

Fly Like an Eagle to Be Free– Fly Like an Eagle to the Sea!

Despite Hur­ri­cane Irene and other hur­ri­canes to come, one of our many goals is to be near the ocean for good– very soon. As we’re get­ting older, we’ve real­ized that we are just sick and tired of harsh win­ters here in Ohio. We have been want­ing this for awhile but are wait­ing for our youngest son to grad­u­ate high school, we also need to make sure my father is well taken care of (since my mother’s pass­ing), and we  want to spend as much time with our grand kids as pos­si­ble before the big move. It will be an enor­mous change, but one we’re super excited about!

Just thought we’d share one of our many goals with you all to get YOU think­ing about what it is YOU really want. Do you want to be free? Free from your boss telling you when you can take a vaca­tion or go to your kids sports activ­i­ties? Free from bill col­lec­tors call­ing you relent­lessly? Free to help change oth­ers lives and make a real dif­fer­ence? Free to live your life the way you want, when you want?

You see, free­dom is very attain­able if you put your mind to it and take action. In our pre­vi­ous post, “Are You Liv­ing Your Life by Default or Design?”, we talked about the laws of suc­cess and now we’re going to share more of them.….

Laws of Suc­cess Cont’d:

4.  Reap­ing and Sow­ing– You may think that suc­cess is about being lucky, but the bot­tom line is you reap what you sow. You have to take respon­si­bil­ity for your finan­cial sit­u­a­tion. Don’t blame your boss, your co-workers, the gov­ern­ment, or the econ­omy. Step up and take charge. If you sow gen­er­ously in your busi­ness, you will reap gen­er­ously. If you want refer­rals, give refer­rals. If you give encour­age­ment to oth­ers, you’ll get that back. You can’t change oth­ers, but you can change yourself.

5. Desire–Desire reveals design and des­tiny much like the eagle who was designed to soar and has the desire to soar. You were born with the gifts to suc­ceed such as enthu­si­asm, per­sis­tence, adven­ture, the abil­ity to get over things and faith. The only part you need to work on is the skills to suc­ceed and this will come with learn­ing and invest­ing in yourself.

6. Be Teach­able–Don’t think you know it all.…sizing your­self up against oth­ers, being judg­men­tal and argu­men­ta­tive. This will get you no where. Some­one who is teach­able says, “Show me, guide me, teach me.” Egos will keep you broke, so don’t be afraid to ask for help. Lis­ten to what other suc­cess­ful peo­ple tell you and above all, TAKE ACTION!

“There is no pas­sion is to be found in play­ing small, in set­tling for a life that is less than the one that you are capa­ble of liv­ing.”  ~Nel­son Mandela
