Mastering the Process

I am confident to say that I feel that every single successful Network Marketer out there will agree with me that when you master the skills to develop a list of prospects and master the art of following up, you can make money in just about any program and with just about any product.

Wow, that was a long sentence and a powerful thought.

And it is very true.

You need to master the process

The process is the same whether you are selling widgets, marketing affiliate programs or building a network marketing company, the process is the same. Five simple steps to master.

1. Build your list ... this is number one and most important in this entire process and there are a million and one ways to build your list. At EarthFriendlyBiz we show you exactly how to build your list and master the art of Follow-up. Anyone can master this art with our system and our training.

2. Invite your new prospects to look at your widget, affiliate program or network marketing company. We call this Social Marketing™ and it's an art you need to master.

3. Present your widget, affiliate program or network marketing company to those who say yes to your invitation. Again, this is all part of Social Marketing™. Yes, you need to master this art ;-)

4. Sponsor new members, generate a sale ... this is the money making part of the process. You really need to master this art as well.

5. Teach those who want to build, this creates duplication and we call this leveraging. When you teach others to follow your process, you will see amazing growth in your business. Our system at EarthFriendlyBiz.com helps you master this art. We teach your new business builders how to Master the art of prospecting and list building.

Online or offline this process is the same. Widgets, Affiliates or Network Marketing ... the process is the same.

Here's a little something from one of our satisfied EarthFriendlyBiz members :


Hello to All,

Have been searching the Internet for a program that is easy for my downline to duplicate. Never found one that was suitable until I found EarthFriendlyBiz.

Thanks Janet, for this step by step system. I really appreciate the way those steps are laid out in this forum. It is a matter of just doing them one at a time.

Keep up the good work.

Wayne Ellis (Builder99)

Don and I look forward to helping you and your group master the art of Social Marketing™ online.

Welcome!

Invest Your Advertising Budget Wisely

One question seems to pop up time after time and it's one that is rarely addressed.

I have a limited advertising budget and want to know where to best invest my funds to get maximum returns. Where is it best to spend my advertising dollars?

There are so many ways and so many places for you to "spend" your advertising budget and certainly what I will be recommending here, is not the only way to wisely spend your advertising budget.

My focus online is teaching you how to use online resources to build your list. It is my belief, and that of all successful marketers, that the secret to success is in having an active optin-list.

Of course, we all know that having a list is only part of the solution ... one does need to learn how to follow-up with the people on that list to bring them into your business.

In my training, I use several very effective resources however, I realize that someone just starting out cannot possibly join all the resources right away.

And even if you do, I recommend you go easy when you are just starting out. If you take on too many programs all at once without taking the time to set them up and learn how they work, you run the risk of becoming overwhelmed ... and when that happens, you run the risk of throwing your arms up in disgust telling the world "... this doesn't work".

Believe me ... "this" does work!

Ok ... let's get down to the basics.

There are a LOT of programs available on the Internet ... some good ones, some bad ones, some new ones and some old ones. Some work, some don`t.

In this post, I`m going to start you off with my top 3 advertising resources to help you break into the online market. These resources have all been tried and tested and will bring you results. I'm also including the prospecting system we use that can help you begin to build your own opt-in lists.

Advertising Programs & Upgrade Costs

List Joe is an online list builder and advertising resource that is by far, one of the best advertising resources available to you. ListJoe is free to join and very effective even for free members. In fact, it's one of the few we recommend that is effective as a free member.

There are different upgrade options available with ListJoe, from as low as $27 per month, you can email a random group of ListJoe members. The absolute BEST value at ListJoe, is the One Time offer of $197.00. The One time offer allows you to email 3,000 ListJoe members every 3 days. That's access to 30,000 random members a month!

ListJoe members are active, not only in clicking links but in taking action and joining your programs and purchasing your products.

The initial cost to join ListJoe is free and your upgrade options range in price from $27 per month to a one time fee of $197.00 (Best Value).

TheListAuction is another online advertising resource and `list builder`. Much like ListJoe, ListAuction works on the premise of members `clickìng`the advertising links offered in the ListAuction emails.

Each site visited earns you credits to email TheListAuction members.

TheListAuction is free to join and also offers a One time offer when you activate your membership. The one time offer is a $100 savings on a yearly membership. You pay only $147.
TheListAuction offers silver and Gold monthly and annual memberships. Starting at just $19 per month, there is something to fit every budget.

As an upgraded member of The List Auction, you will have the ability to login and send an email ad to 3000 random members every 3 days. Again, like ListJoe, that's 30,000 potential viewers to your ad, each and every month.

Click here to join ListAuction

Viral URL is a link tracker as well as a great advertising resource. There is a lot more to ViralURl than meets the eye and the best way to benefit from ViralURL is to simply use it to track your links when you advertise.

ViralURL is such an important resource that I wrote an entire blog post dedicated to setting up and using ViralURL. Because this post is dedictated to advertising resources, we'll focus here on the advertising aspect of ViralURL.

As an upgraded member in ViralURL, you can email 3000 members every 3 days, just like the lists above. The One-time upgrade is $197.00 and well worth it once you see what's offered.

Now, if you want a prospecting system that will generate hot leads for you for your business, then you will want to look into our EarthFriendlyBiz.

Everyone really should use our EarthFriendlyBiz system ... our system will help you generate hot prospects for your primary business and we all need hot prospects. Our system will also guide you through the resources we use with step by step directions.

Now, let's review what we covered here today.

I introduced you to three very good resources that you can use to advertise your business to 90,000 prospects or more a month!

These three programs are my top picks of where I recommend you should spend your advertising dollars.

Begin with ListJoe as it's a must have resource, upgrade with the One time offer of $197.00 and begin advertising to their list. I recommend you register for an EarthFriendlyBiz system and follow the advertising process I teach through the system. It makes all this real simple.

If the $197 is out of your budget, take one of the monthly upgrades starting as low as $27 per month.

When you are ready, you can add ListAuction and ViralURL as a paid member. The sooner you can have these three programs as a paid member, the sooner you will see an increase in your advertising efforts.

Your list will grow, your business will grow and you WILL make money!

What's it going to cost to upgrade in these 4 system?

ListJoe $197

ViralURL $197
EarthFriendlyBiz $17.95

That's a total of $558.95 ... less than $600 to get setup with an amazing marketing system you can use for years to come! This is an investment that will show a return!

If you are already using these resources, please post your comments and let us know how they are working for you.

I look forward to hearing from you and am anxious to hear about your list building results.

Have a great list building day!

Statistics Matter

Do you check your statistics regularly?
Do you know what that means?

Statistics are something that are very important and I'll show you why.

I'm a bit of a statistical nut ... if you are into the personality colours, you'd say that was the green in me and you'd be very right. Statistics come easy to me especially with my background in Accounting.

I love math but I know not everyone does and not everyone understands statistics.

With September newly behind us, I decided it was time to see what kind of results we are seeing with our new EarthFriendlyBiz (EFB) prospecting system.

Our EFB program originally aired (came online) back in October of 2007. It worked very well and in July of 2008, we decided it was time to take EFB to the next level and we released the new and improved EarthFriendlyBiz on August 15, 2008.

With September being our first full month, I decided it would be a good time to check the statistics. Before I share my results, let me explain how EFB works.

• In Step One, visitors fill out the form to learn more information about our simple 3 step system. New prospects are added to your "list" maintained within the EFB system. They will begin to receive our system generated emails.
  
• In Step Two, visitors learn about the 3 programs that we use in marketing our business (these are GDI, List Joe and Free Traffic Bar)
• In Step Three, visitors register to receive their own EFB system to develop prospects. New members are added to your "list" maintained within the EFB system.
• When Step 3 is completed, new members are introduced to your primary business and directed to follow a simple system to setup and advertise their EFB link. They will also begin to receive our system generated emails.
  

Below are the results from one month of advertising my EarthFriendlyBiz link to the resources you will be taught to use, in other words, one month of doing what you will be doing - we call this simple duplication.

Period covered: September 1 - 30, 2008

Step One:

• New EFB Prospects 506

Step Two:

• New GDI Members 7 (1.4%)
  
• New ListJoe Members 56 (11%) - 8 members upgraded (14%)
• New FreeTrafficBar Members 60 (11.8%) - 17 members upgraded (28%)
  

Step Three:

• New EFB Members 102 (20%)

Primary Business:

• 5 New Business Builders (4.9% of new EFB Members)
  

Overall, I'd say it was a pretty good month, wouldn't you? And the best part of this is that y0u can easily duplicate these numbers.

If you advertise regularly (there are many resources available online and we show you how to do it), and generate traffic to your EarthFriendlyBiz website you can expect to see the same "percentage of results".

To keep it simple, let's say you generate 100 new prospects through advertising your EFB website. With 100 new prospects, you can expect:

• 1 new GDI member (1%)
• 11 new List Joe members (11%) and 2 upgrades (14%)
• 12 new Free Traffic Bar Members (11.8%) and 3 upgrades (28%)
• 20 new EFB members (20%)
• 1 new member in your primary business (4.9%)

I hope that makes sense. Can you see how simple it can be to duplicate this process? Imagine when your 20 new EFB members begin advertising and generating 100 new prospects a month? That's 20 times the effort of you alone!

Can you see how your business will grow using this simple system?

The secret is being consistent and persistent with your advertising and promotions adding new advertising resources to you portfolio as your time and money budget allows.

Duplicating the process will cause your business to grow as well as your income. You WILL make more money!

If you aren't using it ... now is the time to start. Visit http://www.earthfriendlybiz.com and learn about our Earth Friendly Business.

If you are using the EFB system, please let us know what YOUR results are like!

Have a Great day!

The Secret of Success by Lou Tice

Everyday, something of importance will cross your desk
Everyday, news of something new will come your way
Everyday, a message will appear that you need to heed

This is one of those messages.

Thank you to my good friend, Sarah, for passing this on. Please enjoy Lou Tice's Secret of Success ...

Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - 1/31/08 - "The Secret of Success"

Today we are going over the secret of success, in one word. And, I am going to guarantee it.

For nearly 40 years, I have been studying success. Some of the most successful people in the world have been my students, and I, in turn, have learned a great deal from them. I have also spent a lot of time in the company of some of the world's most respected research psychologists, talking about what makes some people succeed and others collapse - the difference, in short, between the cans and the can-nots, the do's and the do-nots.

And after all these years of study and research, I can tell you one thing with the utmost confidence: the secret of success is attitude. That's it. And it is really not a secret. People who succeed do not have fewer problems than other people. They do not start out with the most brainpower or better parents or more money, either.

As a matter of fact, sometimes they start out working against incredible odds. But they have a way of looking at things, a way of seeing obstacles as possibilities, a way of hanging in there and making the most of every opportunity that almost guarantees success.

They are flexible, optimistic and hardworking. So if you want to sum it up in a word, it is not difficult to do: success is a question of attitude.

Lou Tice
The Pacific Institute

If you can seriously grasp the concept of having the right attitude, then you can accomplish anything in life that you set your mind to.

I certainly know that when my attitude is not in check, things in my life do not go as I wish because my thinking is all wrong and I'm attracting all the things I don't want.

The right attitude will help you attract the things in life you most want.

When you pass a mirror today ... take a good look and ask yourself, "how's my attitude?".

Have a great 'attitude' day,

Are systems killing your business?

Let's face it, there are many great 'systems' available for you to use to build a list of prospects.

Some systems are designed to "close and train" your members, or so they claim. Bottom line, there are a lot of system online and some come and some go and few remain over time.

My question today is, are these systems killing your business? Are you relying on a 'systems' to develop and train your prospects? Are you using the system as intended?

hmmm ... using the system as intended, interesting question eh?

I'm not sure if you know this or not, but every system that is out there is primarily designed to build a list.

Your prospect visits a compelling website and they fill in their name and details to receive further information ... more often than not the "landing page" is full of hype and is designed to get your prospect to ask for more.

Once in the system, your prospect is receiving emails from the auto-responder setup by the owner of the system. Normally, this series of letters is designed to promote the system your prospect came through with the intent to have your prospect upgrade to a paid member.

In essence, most of these systems are designed to sell something to your prospect, whether it's a product, service or membership.

But the first thing that happens is your visitor becomes a prospect by filling out the form.

So where am I going with this ... well, the problem as I see it is that many of these programs change or disappear or become obsolete. And that is where people stop, it's at this point they blame the system on their own failure to grow.

The truth is ... the system generated prospects for you and if this system goes or changes ... you still have prospects from the system that you can take with you.

Systems come and go, they are redesigned and retuned to capture the market. Capture pages change but the end remains the same.

Systems are developed to build lists.

Focus on what's important ... building your list. It's your list that will help you become successful in business ... without one, you are sure to fail. Focus your online advertising on a system that is building your list. If the system changes, simply edit what you are advertising and continue to build your list.

Whether you are using System A, System B or your own lead capture system ... keep your focus on the people you are connecting with not on the 'system' you are using. Systems come and systems go ... people are here to stay.

Get to know your people.

Have a great day!
