One of our most common problems is procrastination.

We know what we want to do and should do. But still we end up spending hours upon hours doing “easier” work or escaping via TV, blogs, or music.

Now, there is nothing wrong with a little escape from time to time, but if you procrastinate too much, you will not get the most important things done, and you will also send yourself into negative spirals where your self-esteem plummets, and you spend your days in a vague, negative funk.

So what can you do?

Here are 7 tips to help you to stop procrastinating and start living your life more fully.

1. Stop thinking, Start doing.

A bit of planning can certainly help you achieve what you want to achieve. A lot of planning and thinking tends to have the opposite effect.

You think and think, and try to come up with “the perfect plan”. A plan where you don’t have to make mistakes, where you will never be rejected, where there will be no pain or difficulties. Such a thing does of course not exist. But as long as you work on that plan you can protect yourself.

2. Don’t blow a task out of proportion.

By over thinking and putting things off you are not only trying to protect yourself from pain. You also make mountains out of mole hills. The quotes above are so true, it is not even funny. The more hours and days you put something off, the worse it grows in your mind.

Because you are dwelling on it, it expands in your mind, and since you are putting it off, you are probably thinking about it in a negative way. This turns a little thing into something very big, a horrible beast that is threatening to ruin your life.

So plan a little and then take action.

Often you don’t even have to plan, you have been there before and you know what needs to be done. So stop thinking and just do it no matter how you feel and what you think. How you feel right now changes as quickly as the weather, so it’s not the perfect guidance system for anything. And you don’t have to obey what it says (since it’s not chains made of iron). You can just do what you know is right anyway.

3. Just take the first step.

When you start to look too far into the future, any task or project can seem close to impossible, and then you shut down because you become overwhelmed, and start surfing the internet aimlessly instead. That is one of the reasons why it is good to plan for the future, but then to shift your focus back to today, and the present moment.

Then you just focus on taking the first step, today. That is all you need to focus on, nothing else. By taking the first step you change you mental state from resistant to, “hey, I’m doing this, cool”. You put yourself in a state where you become more positive and open. A state where you may not be enthusiastic about taking the next step after this first one, but you are at least accepting it. And so you can take the next step. And the next one after that.

The thing is, you can’t see the whole staircase anyway, and it will shift and reveal itself along the way. That’s why the best of plans tend to fall apart, at least a bit, as you start to put it into action. You discover that your map of reality doesn’t look like reality.

4. Start with the hardest task of your day.

Maybe you have an important call to make that you also fear might be uncomfortable. Maybe you know you have gotten behind on answering your emails and have a big pile to dig into. Maybe you have the last five pages of your paper to finish.

Whatever it may be, get it out of your way the first thing you do.

If you start your day this way, you will feel relieved. You will feel relaxed and good about yourself. And the rest of the day – and your to-do list – tends to feel a lot lighter and easier to move through. It’s amazing what difference this one action makes.

5. Just make a decision. Any decision.

We feel bad when we sit on our hands and don’t take action because it’s unnatural. The natural thing for us to do is to be a decisive human and take action.

When you procrastinate, you want to do something but you don’t take the action. You then become conflicted within.

What you do always sends signals back to you, about who you are. Sure, doing affirmations where you say to yourself that you are confident can help you, but taking the confident actions you want to take over and over again is what really builds your self confidence and self-image of you being a confident person. When you procrastinate you lower your self esteem and send signals back to yourself that you are a kind of lame and indecisive person.

6. Face your fear.

I think this is true. It’s easier to live on that “someday…” thought. It’s harder to just take action. To risk looking like a fool. To make mistakes, stumble and not avoid that pain. To take responsibility for your own life.

The easier choice can come with a sense of comfort, with a certain level of success, pangs of regret for all the things you never dared to do and a vague sense of being unfulfilled. You wonder about what would have happened if you had taken more action and more chances.

The harder choice gives you, well, who knows? But it will sure make you feel more alive.

7. Just finish it.

Not taking the first step to start accomplishing something can make you feel bad. But not finishing what you have started can also leave you in a sort of negative funk. You feel fatigued or stressed and sometimes you don’t even know why. It’s like someone zapped your inner power.

If that is the case, go over tasks and projects that you are currently involved in. Is there something there you know you want to finish but, haven’t yet? Try to get that finished as soon as you can and you will start to feel a whole lot better.

Just be careful. Don’t think you have to finish everything you started. If a book sucks, read something else. Using this as an excuse to quit something that feels hard or unfamiliar is not a good idea. But there is no law that says that everything has to be completed either.

Don’t procrastinate when it comes to your education either. Don’t forget about our May 15th deadline to get registered for our “How To Build A Funded Proposal Workshop.” I don’t believe in procrastination and neither should you, so go here now and register before May 15, 2012. Funded Proposal Workshop

If you are reading this post prior to May 15, 2012, then you still have time to get registered for our How To Build A Funded Proposal Workshop - registration deadline is May 15, 2012. 

If you’re in network marketing/direct sales, then one thing you might notice, is that the people who become overnight successes, are usually very good with people, and are also very comfortable with selling.

They’re the people who will get up on stage at events, and have no hesitation speaking to a room full of people.

And the best ones ooze charisma… they attract others to them like a flame attracts moths.

The problem for me (and a lot of others), when I got started, is I wasn’t one of them.

I was always the kid at high school, who’d try to blend in, and not get noticed.

And, I carried that shyness into my twenties…

So what do you do, when you’ve just turned 62 years old, you’ve invested your entire life savings into a direct sales business, and now you’re expected to go prospect strangers?

You struggle through it painfully.

And after 9 months of persisting with it, doing all the things my upline was  telling me (approaching friends and family, handing out flyers, putting up posters at your local shopping center, etc.) I had made not one sale.

NOT ONE!!

Can you imagine what that’s like? Working day and night, for 9 months straight, knowing you have your entire savings at stake… and at the end having NOTHING to show for it?

And the whole time, the people close to you are telling you to ‘stop chasing dreams’ and to ‘just get a job.’

So things got pretty rough there for awhile… and I really started to doubt my ability to succeed in business.  Maybe I didn’t have what it takes…

But, there was light at the end of this tunnel.

You see, around the same time, I’d begun studying direct response marketing.

Not just as a casual observer.  But with intensity.  I’d go to sleep at night listening to audio programs by Dan Kennedy, Jay Abraham, Gary Halbert and other legends of the industry.

And I started to think like a direct response marketer.

I started to ask better questions.  Like, “is prospecting strangers really the easiest way to build my business, or is there a better way I could get leads?”

Now, in case you don’t know, the whole point of direct response is to bring you a prospect who has the 4 P’s.

They are:

• Pre-motivated (they’ve actively shown interest in finding a solution to whatever  problem they have, that your product solves)
• Pre-qualified (meaning they’re not just tyre kickers, or mildly curious about what offer. Instead, they’re quite serious).
• Pre-sold on your offer (they already have a high level of interest, and you’re not trying to ‘convince’ them of anything)
• Pre-disposed to do business with you (instead of your competitors)

And I realized that doing things the old fashioned way, like chasing friends and family, prospecting anyone with a pulse, etc, was getting me leads who did not have the 4 P’s.

In fact, they didn’t even have one!

In order to get a prospect that had the 4 P’s, I’d have to create a sales funnel, or as we call it in network marketing, a ‘funded proposal.‘

Every single top earner in the industry had one, so they were getting the best leads, and weren’t dealing with time wasters like I’d been dealing with for the past 9 months.

Now, because I was not exactly the most ‘technical’ guy in the world, and didn’t know how to build websites, etc. back then, putting together my first funded proposal took me a long time, about 4 weeks.

I had no idea what I was doing, so I just modeled the same funded proposal I saw the top earner in the company using (it’s pretty funny in hindsight, mine was exactly the same as his, except I’d replaced his name with mine!).

And I’ll never forget the first time my funded proposal brought in my first big ticket sale.

It was for slightly over 5K… and that was just a month or two after I’d completed it, and made some tweaks.

After having nothing to show for 9 months of work, it was nice to finally get a taste of success.

And now being shy and not very good at prospecting strangers was no longer a problem.

So, why am I telling you this?

Because if you’re like me, and you’re not one of those super charismatic people who can come into network marketing and recruit a 100 reps in their first 2 months, then perhaps you should consider putting together your own funded proposal.

Now, you don’t need to go and spend 4 weeks doing it, like I did.

It only took that long for me, because I had no one to show me how.

As long as you follow my steps below, you can have your own funded proposal set up, and ready to go in less than a day:

Here’s EXACTLY what I’d do to make my first 1K online…

Building a business online…

It’s very much a numbers game.

Let’s say that your goal was to make your first $1,000 online, but you could only work part-time (since you’re already busy).

If I were you, here’s exactly how I’d do it: 

First, when building your own email list, your average subscriber is going to be worth around $2-$5 per month.

That’s assuming you are marketing to them, recommending good products as an affiliate.

You can find thousands of products to promote on a site like ClickBank.com (and of course, you only promote good products that help people – no crap).

Or, you can even promote Matt’s products where he will pay you 50% commissions on everything, which means you’ll get a minimum of $48.50 for everyone who joins the Inner Circle through your link.

(Sign up at http://myonlinebusinessempire.com/affiliates)

Next, you need to build a list.

You need an audience to sell to.

Let’s stay on the safe side… and say your average subscriber is worth only 2 bucks a month.

Therefore, you will need a list of around 500 people to make that $1,000 per month.

That means we have to get you to 500 leads asap…

Now you can do it with SEO, but that’s gonna take too long.

Personally, I suggest you go with Facebook PPC.

Right now, I’m approaching the point where I’ve spent a lot on Facebook ads, and as long as they continue to perform, I’ll happily spend more.

So that’s what I would do if I were you, Facebook PPC is working very nicely right now, and is still cheap.

Now to get someone on your list… you’re going to need to spend around $3.50 per lead (based on my own testing).

Sure, you could get cheaper… but I’m assuming you’ve never done much Facebook PPC before, so you’ll be learning as you go.

25 leads / day is more than possible, even if you’re new, but you’ve got to be willing to spend the money.

Let’s say you are serious, and are willing to spend $90 a day.

I know that a lot of people won’t  be willing to spend that…

…but you’ve got to get serious here. Are you here to build a real business, or just play around?

If you want the big bucks, you’ve gotta get in the game.

You can start with less and scale up… but if you’re all about Speed (like me) then you’ll want to get to 25 + leads daily asap.

With 25 leads daily, you’re now looking at a list of 175 by the end of the week.

Within 3 weeks… you’d have 525 people on your list.

And there you go.

There’s your list of 500 (since a few will unsubscribe, and give you fake email addresses).

Now to get your $2-5/ month from each lead, you need to be marketing to them on a regular basis.

And again, only good products that help them. If you promote a bad product… they won’t buy from you again.

For email marketing, I recommend Aweber.com - it’s what I used when I got started, and is cheap too, you can try it out for just $1.

(By the way, I just promoted my affiliate link for Aweber, so if you buy it, I’ll make around $5 per month for as long as you continue to use it. I’d recommend it even if I wasn’t an affiliate, but I’m just making a point).

Now with your emails, you need to be writing with personality, not just sales pitch after sales pitch, otherwise people tune out.

If you’re not much of a writer, that’s ok. You’ll get better with practice, trust me on that.

Since you’ve spent 1,750 to build your list… and since you’re now making a minimum of 2 bucks a subscriber per month… (or 1K per month), it’s going to take 2 months before you are making a profit…

…after those first 2 months, you’re pretty much making bank.

Each month, that asset (your list) can pay for your groceries, rent, and who knows what else.

But don’t stop there! Keep building that list, always focus on growing it.

My biggest regret over these past few years, is I didn’t do something everyday to build my list. And it has cost me… so don’t make the same mistake that I made.

Now, I’ve given you a very rough outline here.

But if you follow what I’ve outlined, then it’s possible to get to 1K a month pretty quickly.

What would you do with an extra 1K at the end of every month?

If you want to take it beyond 1K a month… to possibly much more, there’s a few more details you’ll need to know about email marketing.

Such as writing emails that sell, segmenting your list, promoting launches, etc…  If you get good… then you’re average subscriber value won’t be worth $2… it will be more like $5. Which is a big difference.

Over the next few days, I’ll be hosting a series of free online workshops, to teach you about creating your own ‘Income, ‘On-Demand’ with email marketing:

https://businessbuilders.infusionsoft.com/go/incomeondemand/brighttip

I’ll explain the essentials you need to know about email marketing, and if you already have a list (even a small one) I’ll show you how to make a lot more money per subscriber.

There’s only 45 seats available per workshop, so if you don’t want to miss out on this, go ahead and register now:

https://businessbuilders.infusionsoft.com/go/incomeondemand/brighttip

‘See you’ on the call.

Out of all the skills you need to develop to make a decent living online, email marketing is #1.  Without the ability to send out emails that make people want to take out their credit cards, and send you money, you have no business.  This workshop will show you how:

Original Post

Join us for our Funded Proposal Workshop now before the registration closes on May 15, 2012…

A Funded Proposal is basically a sales funnel where you sell an inexpensive front-end product and the money you make from that sale covers your marketing expense. Then, what you earn on the back-end of your sales funnel will be clear profit…

With your front-end info-product, you will find leads that are interested in you, not the other way around, and have shown they are committed by taking out their credit card and investing in acquiring knowledge.

In the Network Marketing industry, you have a choice to make.

You can either do it the old fashioned (old school) way, which is the way most people were taught… They were told to make a list of friends and family, make a list of one hundred people they know, and then call them with your business opportunity.

When doing it this way you are just chasing people…

So, you are selling a marketing system and the marketing system is what sells your products. Don’t create your marketing around your product because people will join your business for the marketing system that will act as a vehicle to their financial freedom.

That’s why most people get into this industry in the first place…

But what exactly is a system?

It’s a standardised set of tools and instructions.

We’re trying to market a system to distributors who retail our company’s products. And when we have new distributors come on board, we teach them some leadership and marketing skills to help them become real business owners, so that you can leave them and concentrate effectively on selling more franchises (or your business opportunity) to new franchise owners.

And this is what your funded proposal can do for you when you get this right.

There is a Funded Proposal Workshop coming up that I am accepting registrations for until the deadline of May 15, 2012.

If you are interested, you can get registered and get also get locked in for some awesome bonuses here:

What is your opinion? Does GoDaddy Suck?

Honestly!

For myself I have never personally used GoDaddy, but I have been on their site several times helping others with different aspects of their accounts. Each time I have found it to be very difficult to navigate the site.

This could possibly be from not using the site all the time and getting really familiar with it, or it could be as most of the people I know that have used their hosting say, and that is “GoDaddy Sucks.”

Now this is only my opinion based on what I have heard from friends, mentors, and others that I have worked with since starting out in my Internet Marketing career…

Here is an email I received from the latest to fall to the wayside cursing profusely about GoDaddy and the experience he is just now hopefully getting straightened out with this hosting company… This email is from one of my mentors and here is what he had to say…

I would be interested in hearing your opinion…

That is the email I received this morning after all of his sites had been completely shut own for more than two days and even redirected to some company in China towards the end as your heard him say in his email above. Now as a marketer, I can understand his frustration with it all, but also as a marketer I had a lot of paid advertising pointing to his products myself and there is no way to calculate the losses we both had with the sites being down and the traffic that clicked and left, never to return…

Like I said earlier, I have not had any personal issues with GoDaddy since I have chosen not to use them from things like this instance that have happened to others in the past. Even though I did not use them, they still affected me because of my marketing of other peoples sites, and losses of revenue due to the amount of time a site was down…

Whether you have had good or bad results with GoDaddy, I would like to see your comments below. I am sorry, but from what I have seen and what I have heard from colleagues and others, I myself do not have any use for GoDaddy…

Don’t let my opinion stop you from leaving your own comments and opinions below…

This is my opinion only based on what I have heard from others. Leave me your comments and experiences with this hosting company below…

Do you want to know why it is so important to work with the right people in business my friend?

I’m going to share something with you today that can make you A LOT of money if you put it to use.

You see, I have undergone a few ‘transformations’ in my own growth over the last few years in business and within myself. And to share this lesson with you I’m going to let you in on a little bit more of my story!

When I was first starting out in network marketing…I was a total NEWBIE. I was wet behind the ears, had no clue what I was doing, no clue how to influence people, no clue how to be a good network marketer, build relationships, or do so many of the things that actually lead to success in this industry.

To tell you the truth, I started to get Desperate! It was almost like my feelings of self worth, and my identity, were attached to how successful I was in my business.

If someone rejected my business…I felt like they Rejected ME.

If someone signed up in my business, it made me feel better about myself.

Of course, there was a lot more rejection than signing up so you can imagine how I felt most of the time! Ahhh the good ole days.

So here I was, bumbling around like this for MONTHS on end in my business. Coming from the WRONG psychological state that actually creates success…and I ended up only attracting people to my business that were in an even worse off state than I was.

It seemed like every time I talked to a chiropractor, or business owner, or someone who I felt HAD influence…I would always bumble it up. I would always say something or do something that messed up the situation.

And you might know how it feels when you do that…you feel like you just screwed everything up! You feel like you might have just messed up your business forever because you missed that one great prospect!

(Haha, this is FAR from the truth. Even though it doesn’t feel like it at the time…there are more people on this planet to join your business than you could EVER sponsor…)

Eventually I just became ‘Traditionally Defeated’. I just couldn’t do it anymore. I was so scared every time I went to prospect another person who I didn’t know or who didn’t want what I had to offer…that I just couldn’t do it.

I was completely ineffective. But from that…an AMAZING thing happened. ‘I started seeking solutions’…

I DID NOT give up on myself. And there’s something powerful in that statement so let me repeat it in a different way.

After 10 months of total and miserable failure…I did NOT give up on myself. (hint about success)

Instead, I sought solutions. Now here’s where the REAL psychology gets interesting…

I eventually learned that I needed constant and steady lead generation to build my business and that using technologies like the Internet are HANDS DOWN the easiest ways to do that.

But, it wasn’t like my success just sprung up instantly because I had that realization. In fact, looking back at it, there was this ‘Crucial’ development period that MADE ME into the entrepreneur I am today.

Looking back…I see that SO MANY of the experiences I went through in the beginning of this industry, and even internet marketing, were really there to help me build my value.

I was learning so much from these experiences, growing so much from my PROLONGED effort and pursuit of knowledge in our industry… that my own ‘VALUE’ just started to increase and increase.

All of a sudden...it was Easier for me to talk to people who had more influence. All of a sudden, it was easier for me to hop on the phone and influence people MYSELF.

The more my OWN value grew inside…the more I found I could network with and influence other POWERFUL people.

And make no mistake my Friend, you will be MUCH more successful if you go after people who are more influential and powerful than YOU are.

The reason why is ONE very strong leader…can build a larger organization than if you signed up 100 not so strong leaders. It happens ALL the time.

The key to ALL of that though is this…you have to develop yourself to that level FIRST if you want to attract someone like that to you!

You have to fill yourself with so much value…that it’s apparent to everyone who is around you just how much you can offer them.

I did this by becoming an AVID student of technology, marketing, mindset, leadership, self growth, and many other things.

I literally DEVOTED myself to developing in all of these areas, and before I knew it I was ‘naturally’ networking with the BEST OF THE BEST in this industry. Other leaders were naturally choosing to work with me and join me in business because they saw firsthand just HOW MUCH I actually had to offer them.

The funny part is, before the Internet I had no background, no internet marketing experience, no business history to boot… I had absolutely nothing.

I entered this industry knowing no one and nothing about how I was going to be successful.

It’s a funny world right? Who would have known you can basically learn a few key principles, put yourself out there on the Internet, and completely change your life in less than a few years.

Well, that’s what YOU have staring you in the face.

When you really LEARN these principles about attraction marketing, relationship building, and ‘MindSet’…you can use the Internet to gain more exposure for yourself than you even think is possible.

I’m living proof.

So the moral of the story here today is this…

- You NEED to learn what REALLY creates success in our industry. And it’s not 3 way calls or your friends and family…It’s the science of ‘Becoming Attractive’ and having ‘Endless Prospects’. (trust me…that’s it.)

- There is a science to learning attraction marketing…and a lot of it has to do with developing yourself.

- And if you stay COMMITTED to your long term goals and visions, it’s almost IMPOSSIBLE to NOT start creating more success if you simply apply the new knowledge you learn.

Oh, and to top it off, the internet is hands down the fastest way to reach unreal success in this industry that there is. Hands down, no question, that is fact. I am the proof.

So what I have prepared to HELP YOU do all of this much quicker, is a training that details exactly how I have done everything I do online.

You can learn more about this training here:

My Online Business Empire (MOBE)

The quickest way to learn something new is to learn from someone who HAS BEEN THERE and done it before. And as far as I know… there are FEW network marketers that have really learned how to use technology to build their businesses as big as I have, and in as short of a time period.

Once you have this same knowledge in your hands…you will know exactly how to start growing your business like a SCIENCE, and can escape the madness of ineffective tactics once and for all.

You can learn more about all of that here:

My Online Business Empire (MOBE)

I hope you enjoyed my story today my Friend, and took some real value out of it. If you follow your heart and soul in this industry…it will take you to some amazing places.

The thing I feel the MOST fortunate about today…is that almost ALL of the relationships I have built online with my closest business partners…are BEAUTIFUL friendships as well.

These are people I can honestly say I have LOTS of love for, I cherish their company, appreciate them as people, love to be around them…and look forward to knowing them all for the rest of my life.

That gift in and of itself is one of the most beautiful things to me. And I have met ALL of these people networking online, and building businesses online, just over the past few years.

My Online Business Empire (MOBE)

I’ll bet you are wasting your time right now!

I’m willing to bet that right now, there’s just 1-3 activities in your business which bring in sales, and the rest are just wasting your time.

These are what you should be focusing on.

Everything else, is just wasting of your time.  And every minute you spend doing the many activities that don’t directly contribute to your bottom line, is costing you.

I spent many years studying different courses, before I got to the point where I could build my online business full time.

And although I didn’t learn much… a few lessons have stuck with me.

One of these is the concept of ‘opportunity cost’ from economics.

Opportunity cost is defined as the:

‘The cost of passing up the next best choice when making a decision.’

So, if you list out all the most profitable activities you have in your business, and rank them from most profitable to least, you might have a list like mine:

• Creating and hosting a sales webinar
• Product creation
• Writing emails to my list recommending products
• Sales on the phone
• Writing a sales letter
• Writing ads
• Putting together new campaigns

… and so on.

And then at the bottom of that list, you’ve got all those activities that might feel like they’re important… but don’t do jack for your bottom line:

• Trying to figure out how to build a website
• Responding to email
• Chatting on Facebook
• Talking on Skype

… and so on.

Now, every single time you do the activities at the bottom of that list, you are using up your time (which can never be recovered), that could have been spent on activities at the top of your list.

That is the opportunity cost.

And I promise you, it’s costing you a merry fortune.

You need to stop doing those activities as soon as you can, so you can focus on what’s important.

You need to learn how to outsource.  How to leverage ‘Other People’s Time,’ (O.P.T.).

Once I finally ‘got this,’ I started outsourcing as much of my work as possible.

And funnily enough, my income started to climb, fast.

Learning to outsource is a whole new skill set in it’s own right.  

And that’s exactly why ‘The O.P.T. Formula‘ was put together, so you could learn how to do it the right way, without making all the costly mistakes one makes through trial and error.

Within the program, here’s what you’ll discover:

• Exactly which jobs to outsource first
• The best sites to use to outsource
• What to write in your job descriptions (I even give you all of my job descriptions from my own business, for you to copy)
• How to screen out all the time wasters who apply for your jobs
• How to ensure you never get ripped off, and get exactly what you paid for 

… and a whole lot more. 

You can see the entire list here.

But whether you get this coaching program or not, I just want you to understand that by not outsourcing, you are preventing your business from ever reaching the next level.

You can’t do everything on your own- there’s just too much.

Plus… why would you even want to?  The whole point of building an online business was so you could work less hours, wasn’t it?

For me, if building an online business was always about having more freedom.  Freedom to do what I want, when I want, with whoever I wanted.

And outsourcing has made that a reality.  It can do the same for you.

You know in your heart that at some point, you’re going to have to start outsourcing if you want to reach 6 or 7 figures.  So why not start now?

This will show you how to do it the right way…

“All you care about is money” she said… Yep, that’s what she said alright.

I once had a very angry lady yell at me, and say ”all you care about is money!”

Why?

Because I would not get on the phone with her and help her for free. I told her she’d have to pay my hourly rate, which is $175.

I don’t give away my time for free.  And neither should you. We are all here to make money, even her!

Time is the one thing that we can never get back.

But, in some respects, that lady had a point.  She accused me of being money driven.

And you know what?  She was right.  And I don’t apologize for it one bit. I am here to make money.

It is my right to pursue a profit.  And it’s your right too.  

So don’t ever let someone tell you different, or try to make you feel guilty about wanting to make money online.

Now… while we’re on the subject, I’d like to share a true story with you that happened to one of my mentors.

What my mentor is saying in his story is true.Here is an example of a testimonial I got from a coaching client…that has nothing to do with my commissions…

Other peoples success, ordinary people from all over the world who’ve been members of the ‘Inner Circle’ for some time now… and are either in the process of quitting their jobs… or have already done it:

They aren’t anything special.  They’re not super models… they don’t have I.Q.’s of 150… and they aren’t all young computer nerds either…

They are all very ordinary people.

Just like me.

But what separates them from most, is the fact they were willing to suspend their disbelief, and try something different.

When you hear these people tell their stories, ask yourself this:

“If they can do it, then why the hell can’t I?”

Asking that question in late 2009 set me free.

And it can set you free too.

You’ll see a lot of ordinary people like you and me at the link below, getting extra the ‘My Online Business Empire System.’

If you haven’t enrolled yet, what are you waiting for?? Once you join, I’ll walk you through how to build your first list, how to monetize that list, and how to create a back-end for your hyper-responsive customers.

This is ‘The ONE Skill’ you must master if you wanna make it online…

What is the most important skill to master when growing an online business?

Outsourcing.

Learning how to leverage other peoples skills and talents so you can grow your business to higher and higher levels by using outsourcing.

Over the next few nights, Matt Lloyd is going to be hosting a series of online workshops where he’ll share with you all the secrets he’s picked up, from outsourcing over 200+ jobs:

https://webinarconferencemeetings.com/outsourcingsecretsrevealed

Out of all the questions people ask me about getting started online, the one that comes up the most is this:

“What if I don’t have the slightest clue about making websites and all that technical stuff?”

Well here’s the thing. I’ve been online for over 3 years now, and do you wanna know something?

I don’t have a clue about that any of that stuff either!

And I don’t plan on learning it any time soon… because all of it can be outsourced for next to nothing, you can literally hire someone in India to build you a professional website in under 48 hours for less than 100 bucks. That’s my answer, outsourcing it…

Let me ask you a simple question…

If you’re in the business of selling products online… then are you getting paid to build websites? No. Unless that’s your primary business, you’re wasting your time learning those things. Again my answer is outsourcing…

Instead, you want to be focusing on the more important jobs that only you can do… the jobs that bring in the cash. The rest of it can be done by someone else, outsourcing…

See how on this free workshop:

https://webinarconferencemeetings.com/outsourcingsecretsrevealed

You may be wondering whether you really need to learn how to outsource… the answer is 100% yes.

If you don’t learn this skill, you’ll be stuck doing all the work in your biz yourself… and there’s just way too much for any one person to do. You need the help of others – and I want to show you how:

Empower Network Overview

This is an Empower Network Overview of what products and training is included inside this company.

I have been a member of Empower Network since they opened the doors back in October of 2011 and this is an overview of what is available inside once you join.

I originally joined with the Basic $25.00 membership which included the instant set up for you ready to use Viral blogging platform and the eight step core commitment training system.

This by itself in my opinion is well worth a lot more than $25.00.

This is the perfect way for a beginner just starting out on their online marketing journey to get a pre-built blog and all of the basic training necessary to start making money online.

Now don’t get me wrong, I am not saying it is easy. Nothing that I have found having to do with marketing online has been easy. What I am saying is there is nothing better online than Empower Network to get you blogging instantly and learning the proper strategies and techniques you need to get started.

This Empower Network Overview  will show you many other products to further a persons abilities to succeed online as well.

The next tool in the Empower Network aresenal is the Inner Circle.

The Inner Circle consists of Audio lessons from a lot of top marketers, some have been marketing online for a long time, while others have just earned their first dime using the tools, startegies, and techniques available with the Empower Network training.

Some of those beginners have gone on to make a five figure income in their first month. I don’t mean to say everyone will make five figures their first month, but the potential is there if you put it to work for you.

The Inner Circle is easily in my opinion worth 10 times the price they are charging of $100.00 per month, of which in case you didn’t know, you earn 100% commission.

Then you have the Costa Rica Intensive, which is some high level advanced training and strategies from all of the top leaders. The original content was derived from an event that was put on in Costa Rica for a cost of $2,997.00 per person. The content in this course is also worth a lot more than the measly $500.00 one-time cost. This is also 100%commission to you as are all of the products in Empower Network.

The most recent product added to this list of my Empower Network Overview is the 15k Formula. This course consists of 7 lessons so far, for example:

Lesson 1 - Consists of Social Content Mastery, Value and Entertainment based Blogging, and How to COMPELL others to share your stuff…

Lesson 2 - Consists of Syndication Mastery, Automated Viral Syndication Strategies, How To Get Thousands Of Views To Everything…

Lesson 3 - Consists of SEO Mastery, Mastering the BASICS of SEO, How to build niche sites & sell stuff…

Lesson 4 - Consists of Paid Traffic Mastery, How To Scale Advertising Online, PPC and Solo Ad ‘Grass Roots’ Tactics…

Lesson 5 - Consists of Offline Sales Magic, How To Sell Stuff Offline, Magic Offline Response Strategies…

Lesson 6 - Consists of The Leader’s Mindset, Advanced Leadership Strategies, How To Move The Hearts Of The People…

Lesson 7 - Consists of Bonus #1: Advanced SEO Tactics, Advanced Link Building Tactics, How to get stuff ranked with LOTS… and lots of links…

There is over 18 hours worth of valuable content jam packed into this course and you can get it right now for a measly $250.00.

This price is only available through the end of March 2012. If you show up one minute after midnight on the morning of April 1st, you will have to pay $1,000.00 one-time purchase price.

I just ordered the Empower Network 15k Formula yesterday and I just finished going through lesson #1, which was almost three hours of absolutely awesome content.

The first lesson consisted of valuable content from people like David Wood, Chris Darty, Stephanie Deneke, and last but not least Tracey Walker. Let me tell you guys and gals, this stuff is to die for and that is only the first lesson. I can’t wait to see what is in the next lessons.

Even if you miss your chance to pick up the Empower Network 15k formula for the $250.00 price, and have to pay full price of $1,000.00 after the end of March 2012, you would still be getting an awesome deal. I am sure the rest of the course is just as exeptional as the first lesson I just went through…

But don’t hesitate…

Get in now with the Basic membership of $25.00 for the instant blogging platform and training. Order anything and everthing else that you want, because remember when you sell any of these products you will earn 100% of the value of the product. I realized myself that to make the most money, you need to take a leap of faith and get everything…

At the very least, and this is a no brainer…

Order the 15k formaula at the 75% off discounted price of $250.00, but remember this price is only available through the end of March 2012. After that, the price goes up to $1,000.00 (you purchase it now and you sell it after April 1st for $1,000 and keep 100% of it).

Don’t miss your chance to get the 15k Formula for $250.00 and sell it after April 1st 2012 for $1,000.00. What a way to get started…

I am going to share with you The Secret to Why Network Marketing Will ALWAYS Work!

Some people believe that network marketing really doesn’t work.

To put it lightly, they’re WRONG.

I am going to take the next few minutes to explain to you why network marketing will always work so that the next time someone takes the time to tell you that network marketing doesn’t work, you can explain to them how misinformed they truly are.

Here is why Network Marketing will ALWAYS work:

Even in a strong economy people will ALWAYS need supplemental income:

The truth is most people live from paycheck to paycheck. They aren’t able to buy the nice things that they want for themselves and their families. There is and always will be a constant DEMAND for more money. Network marketing is a simple, part time and low risk way for full time workers to fill this need. To put it simply, as long as people need money, network marketing will ALWAYS be there to fill that need.

People will ALWAYS want freedom from jobs they don’t enjoy:

Despite what you may think, there are people out there that truly don’t enjoy their job. They go to work because they have to and not because they want to. Network marketing offers a promise of true financial freedom. It gives them the ability to leave the 9 to 5 working world. This freedom will ALWAYS be too tempting to pass up.

People will ALWAYS want more free time to do with as they please:

Did you know that in a past poll conducted by Money magazine that 64% of American men and 68% of American women polled said, that if they had a choice between more money and more time off they would choose the time?

People covet their free time.

Network marketing offers the promise of working from home and making your own hours. Again, the opportunity to create free time will ALWAYS draw people to network marketing.

Conclusion:

As long as people crave time, money, and freedom, network marketing will ALWAYS exist.

The next time that someone tries to tell you that network marketing doesn’t work, now you know that they couldn’t be more wrong.

All you have to do is ask your accuser 1 of 3 questions:

Do you want more money?
Do you want freedom from your job?
Do you want more time?

I guarantee they will answer yes to at least one of these questions.

When they do, they will have proved exactly why network marketing will always work!

Discover how to earn a whopping $17,022.85 per month in your spare time even if nobody joins your MLM business. Forget cold calling. Forget those home meetings. In fact, forget everything you’ve ever been taught about building a solid income in Network Marketing from the “gurus”. Let this 24 yr. old “unknown” marketer show you how he built an organization without making one phone call!

Today I will share with you the second part of the 2 Things KILLING Your Business and how you can use My Online Business Empire to solve these things.

Yesterday, I shared with you the 2 reasons why most can’t make an online business work, and we looked at reason number 1:

1.) They are spending their time on the wrong things.

2.) They are constantly changing directions (so they never get traction).

Today, I want to talk to you about reason number 2.

Here’s the thing: every single day… you’re getting emails from different gurus, telling you to buy more stuff.

And I’ll admit… I even do the same thing from time to time, except my stuff actually works ; )

The problem is, you only have so many hours in a day.

You only have so much attention you can give to any one thing.

So if you’re buying every new launch that comes out, it means you’re adding another task to your long list of ‘to-dos.’

And I bet you have a very long list indeed.

So every time you take something additional on, your current projects suffer.

And when you’re juggling 25 projects at one time, it’s VERY hard to do any one of them properly.

You end up with a lot of loose ends…

So, that traffic course you bought last month never gets implemented…

That blog you started three months ago, has not been updated in weeks…

And your commitment to write 3 articles a day, has long been forgotten…

At least this is what it was like for me in the beginning.

I honestly believe that focusing on just ONE project at a time, and sticking with it until it’s 100% completed, is one of the biggest secrets to doing well online.

It truly is.

Now, if you’re guilty of taking on too much, here’s what I want you to do:

Pick one area of your business you want to work on.

Eg. you may want to learn how to get more leads using Facebook PPC or Microsoft/Yahoo PPC.

And focus on it, for at least 2 hours a day, until you have mastered it. Pick a goal you’d like to achieve, such as getting to 50+ leads a day.

And while you’re doing this, ignore all those ‘shiny objects,’ where marketers are telling you they’ve discovered ‘the next great thing.’

It’s just noise.

In fact… these days, I hardly ever read emails from gurus. I keep an eye on what they’re doing, but, most of the time I’m busy working on my own business.

That’s what you need to do: focus on just one thing at a time.

When you get started in the ‘My Online Business Empire System,’ one of the first things you’ll do is focus on just one part of the course.

Eg. If you’re new, and don’t yet have a list, then we’ll start out in My Online Business Empire, with list building.

Or… if you already have a list, but aren’t making much money with it, we’ll use My Online Business Empire to look at your sales funnels and find out what you need to improve upon.

But the point is, we’ll cover just one thing at a time, so you’re actually getting results as you complete the My Online Business Empire course.

You can try the My Online Business Empire program out for 90 days. And if it’s not everything Matt promised, you won’t pay a cent.

When it comes to marketing on the Internet, search engine optimization is the big thing on everyone’s minds – but how do you get search engine optimization advantage? There is no tried and true way to guarantee results from SEO, as each web site has different needs. The one thing that cannot be denied is, regardless of the “how you do it”, you’ve at least got to do it.

Some aspects of SEO simply can’t be ignored. For instance, keywords – these are the words and phrases that people will put into search bars to find what they need. If you want your search engine optimization to work, you absolutely must understand how keywords work. If you work keywords into your search engine optimization, you’ll definitely increase traffic to your website. If your website serves ads or sells products, then this will give you more page views, click-throughs, and sales.Link building is another very important part of the SEO process. If your site has a lot of other websites linking to it, even if its links from other pages that belong to you, this can increase your visitors by a lot. The reason for this is that Yahoo! and other search engines take links as positive referrals to your web site. Their logic is that if other people are linking to your site, there must be something worthwhile there. As such, more links will lead to a higher search engine result rank – that’s search engine optimization advantage!

The process that search engines use to search through websites and index them is called “spidering.” The search engines use automated programs, also known as spiders, to “crawl” through the Internet and collect data. The spiders will follow links that they come across before moving on. The more links to your site, the more likely it is that spiders are to crawl to your site and index it in the search engine.

Another way to get search engine optimization advantage is to consistently check how your SEO is going. After all, what good is SEO if you can’t tell if it’s working? In today’s hectic world, you can’t afford to waste time or money on search engine optimization that’s not going to get results. So, you should be sure to check your web site’s ranking in search engines, as well as check keyword trends to make sure your site stays relevant.

Web analytics are a tool that can help you keep track of how your SEO plan is working. These services track all kinds of data – such as which keywords are leading people to you, the numbers of people visiting based on keywords, and which search engines are leading to your site.

These are just a few stops along the path to search engine optimization advantage. They’ll get you started, but if you want the top spots on Google’s search page results, you’ll need a lot more. There are a ton of articles and services available to help you master SEO and catapult your website to the front pages.

It’s always important to make sure your clients understand what it is they’re looking at, whether it’s a pamphlet at your office or the home page of your website. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) copywriting services provide writers who will take the information you give them and create the article, blog, or web text that your clients will easily find and understand. By describing your target group the writers will be able to create work that can be read and enjoyed by the people that come to your site so that they’ll stay longer. If you specify keywords for your site, they’ll also place them in effective places throughout the content so your site can climb its way into the top results from search engines.Some companies may not realize that when they are selling a product that’s geared to a certain group of people, the way they explain what their product is can be just as important as the product itself. Using college level terms when describing a product that is appealing to teenagers can cost you business. Copywriters will not only use any information you give them but also research your product so that your website is designed for the consumer’s ease of use. The longer a customer stays at your page, the more likely they are to make a purchase.

A good flow to the writing is just as necessary as appropriate language. The writers that SEO copywriting services provide are professionals who understand the English language and know how to keep your content interesting and enjoyable to read. No one wants to read sentences that sound as if a robot is talking, so your site should avoid that at all costs. Fortunately, the writers are real people, not robots, so you can rest assured they can get the job done.

Keyword placement is used for getting your site noticed on search engines. Search engines use a certain pattern when finding sites that match what the user is looking for and knowing where to put the keywords in your website’s text can make or break your site. If people can’t find your site, they can’t learn about your product, let alone buy it! Writers will provide thorough research of the keywords you should use and where in your text they should go. The end result: search engines will have you high on their search page results list.

There are many companies on-line that provide these services. Prices will vary depending on the length of text that you need done, the amount of keywords you’d like put in, and of course the provider you chose to go with. Most sites will allow a consultation where they’ll look at your site and tell you what to improve if you need to. A good tip: since these are SEO copywriting services that you’re looking for, if you find they’re name at the top of the search results page, you can safely assume they do a good job.

The most important goal of internet web marketing is to increase traffic to your web site. You can think of your web site as your shop front; and the more people you can entice to come into your shop front, the more customers you will have. The best way to increase traffic to your website is to increase your search engine rankings. This can be a challenge, but with some work and persistence you shouldn’t have too many problems.The first internet web marketing tip for increasing search engine ranking is to build your internal and incoming links. Internal links are simply links on your site that link to other pages on your site. It is important that each of your pages contains links to the all of the other pages on your site.

This will increase the page rank of every page on your web site. Incoming links can be placed on other, smaller websites that you have built. These other sites will be smaller and you will only need a few pages for them. Now, put links on these pages that link to your main site and cross link them using the same keywords.

Another thing you should keep in mind in internet web marketing is that you can improve your search engine ranking using some simple HTML tricks. You know that the Title tag goes directly under the Head tag. In this Title tag you have an excellent opportunity to place some keywords.

Don’t just put them in a list though; make a coherent sentence that explains what your site is and what it can do for the visitor. Put 4 or 5 of the best keywords in this sentence. Make sure you have 1 or 2 keywords in each of your Heading tags (H1, H2) as well.

Next, you should know a little bit about Meta tags. These tags used to be search engines’ most used method of ranking webs sites. Today, they are barely used as search engines have moved on to use different methods.

Meta tags are still used occasionally and it will only take a few seconds to put them in, so most people agree that you should have Meta tags in your web page. Use the META tag directly under your title tag and make a list of the most relevant key words for your site. Don’t use popular key words that have nothing to do with your site; search engines do not like this.

The final thing that needs mentioning regards the keywords on your site. The text on your web pages should have some keywords in it. Just use them sparingly. Put 1 keyword at the beginning of your major paragraphs.

This is enough. If you put too many keywords on your web site then search engines will just see it as spam and ignore it. Also, never put keywords in where they don’t make sense. If you keep these and other internet web marketing tips in mind, you are certain to have great success in the promotion of your website.

Newcomers to the Internet business may be intimidated by the large amount of competitors you’ll find no matter what your business is, and search engine optimization services may be what you need to get ahead of the competition. Your product may be better than others or your service the best you’ll find in the area, but other companies could still show up on search engines before you and you might not understand why. That’s why the professionals are there to help you get your site and your business to the number one spot.Make sure the people you hire are actually the professionals and not just con artists looking to make a quick dollar at your expense. People who know what they are doing will get to know you and what you want from their services, rather than simply ask for a keyword and go about their business. Companies that have been doing search engine optimization for a long time and have a long list of positive reviews are more likely to be a legit company that will help your website, not harm it.

If you haven’t made your site yet it could be beneficial to have SEO services create your entire website’s text for you, since they’ll be able to place keywords in the text without making it seem choppy or forced. Some companies can even create a web address for your site which will make it even more noticeable to the search engines.

If search engine optimization services mention using a doorway page or white text on a white background, go a different route immediately. Companies which get people to look at your site by these techniques ignore search engine regulations and can get your website banned from the search engines completely.

If you’ve got your site set up how you like it with all the information on it that you feel it needs, search engine optimization services can also provide your business with link building to other sites. Link building takes your web page’s link and places it on a series of other sites that pertain to your business and every time someone gets to your site through that link it’s as if you’re getting an extra vote. The more votes, the higher up on the results you’ll find your site. Having a link to a specific pet store placed on a local vet’s website is a good example of link building.

Rates for services depend on how much work you need done on your business’s website as well as how long you’d like the service to continue for. Some companies provide long-term maintenance to your site to ensure that your site keeps up with changes in the search engine guidelines. Most companies will offer writers for placing keywords in text either for your site or articles to link your site to.

No matter what your business’s online needs, search engine optimization services are prepared to make your site soar above the rest.

Search engine optimization is an important element of modern marketing, but just what are the search engine optimization rules? It’s not quite as easy as just saying “here’s what to do and what not to do” – every website will benefit differently from different SEO methods. Perhaps the only real search engine optimization rule is: you’ve got to do it!

Seriously, though, there are some elements of SEO that are absolutely required for the process. One of these key search engine optimization rules is understanding keywords. Keywords are the words and phrases that users on the Internet use to search for the things they want. Optimizing your website for popular keywords is a surefire way of generating more traffic, which could lead to more ads served or more sales for products you’re selling.Another rule of search engine optimization is to build up links that lead to your web site. By linking your own web pages together, or finding ways to have other web sites link to yours, you can greatly increase traffic to your site. This is because Google and other search engines use links to your site as “references” – in other words, they view links as recommendations to visit a site. Because of this, more links will increase your web site’s rank in search engine listings.

This is all thanks to a process known as “spidering.” The way it works is that search engines basically send out automated robots or “spiders” to comb the Internet for data. When these spiders reach a link, they’ll follow it and then continue their search. So, the more links that lead to your websites, the more spiders that will find and index your site, making it more popular on search engine rankings.

Another in the list of important search engine optimization rules is to check your status. It’s not enough to simply use SEO methods on your site – you’ve got to make sure they’re working. If not, you’re just wasting your time… and who has time to waste these days? You should check your page rank, and frequently check to ensure the keywords you’re focusing on are still relevant.

One tool that can help in this process is known as web analytics. Web analytics programs can give you a wide variety of data that can help you further customize your SEO plan.

Many people are aware of the term of SEO floating around the Internet, but just what does SEO stand for? The simple answer: it stands for search engine optimization. That’s not very helpful though, so let’s look at it more in depth. What we can find just from the name is that SEO is a process to optimize for search engines. Well, we all know what search engines are, but what does it mean to optimize for them?Well, SEO is mainly a marketing technique to make a website more visible to search engines. We’re all familiar with what takes place when we search for something on Google or Yahoo! search: the site gives us several pages of results. Did you know that most people only bother clicking on results found on the first page of a search? Sometimes a search can result in 10 or 20 pages of results… and the average user often ignores all those extra pages.

Search engine optimization is just a bunch of fancy words… really, what does SEO stand for? SEO means more visitors, more traffic, and if you’ve got a product, more sales. SEO is integral to a good marketing campaign – there’s no two ways around it.

So, for people looking to sell something on their web page or even just to attract a bigger audience for their blog or podcast, SEO is very important. The goal is to get a web site to appear on the very first page of any search engine’s results when searching for specific words or phrases. These words or phrases are known as keywords – they’re your best friends when it comes to search engine optimization.

There are a number of resources you can find on the web that will teach you how to use keywords. For instance, some tools will tell you how often a certain keyword phrase is searched for, and show you other, similar keywords. These other keywords might allow you to expand the focus of your web page to attract more visitors. You can also use this information to target keywords that are less common on the Internet – which allows you to corner the market.

Keywords aren’t the only search engine optimization tool you can use. Another important aspect of SEO is linking. Search engines basically use links to a website as references, like when an employer calls up past employers to find out how good an applicant is. The more legitimate references or links to a website, the higher that the site will be ranked in the search engines. Creating links between your pages is a great way to enhance SEO.

Keywords and linking is just the tip of the search engine optimization iceberg. There are many more advanced techniques that can be used to bring a site to the top of the search page ranks and keep it there. This is just an introduction, but now you know the answer to the question; what does SEO stand for?
