Flaky nation, flaky people?

A rival company is helping me a lot at the moment.

Firstly I saw the co founder of an organisation talk about people not turning up for meetings because we live in a flaky nation.

Does this mean that there are flaky people?

Also I hear reports of one representative of the business talking of nay sayers and grumbling about 'flakers' who don't turn up to meetings.

I reckon there are 2 types of people in the world. Those that flake out and those that do what they say and stay the distance.

One thing that I show people how to achieve in my e-book is how to attract the right kind of people. Not flakers, but doers.

Yes there are flakers. The nation is not flaky but it sure helps if you have a set of positive people helping you attract more positive doers.

Download my book, and join team of amazing people. You might just learn how to upgrade someone from a flaky slug watching TV to an ambitious business builder.

Why MLM = Most Lose Money but it doesn't have to be that way

There are 2 main reasons that the majority of people that join MLM don't make money.

That which can be measured can be improved. 
Most MLM newbies can't.measure the results of their activity and they can't improve. What's worse is that their upline can't offer suggestions because they haven't got a clue how to measure and drive traffic to their website. Another problem is that the opportunity website is often complicated. A promotional website must focus on one thing otherwise people get lost.

Here's where team of amazing people come in.
We show people how to make a simple lead capture website based on a powerful system. They can measure and test improvements.

It doesn't matter what business they have.

What's better? Social Media or Cold Calling when it comes to business building

As I had a quiet morning, I thought I would have a look at traditional businesses and flicked through the yellow pages and thomson local directory just to see how web savvy the businesses are.

I devised a scale indicating a business' comittment to communication with their customers.

Level 1: they have a phone number
Level 2: they have more than a basic ad
Level 3: they have a website
Level 4: they display their email address
Level 5: they display a twitter account
Level 6: they display their facebook page


Level 1-4 is all about having the immediacy - potential customers can contact you when they need the goods or services you provide.

Approx 1% display an email address.
None had a twitter of facebook page displayed. This shows a real lack of awareness of potential from social media.

Here's why having a social media page / twitter account in addition is superior.

Third party credibility and recommendation. Facebook and twitter are not owned by the business, they are independent. As a result other people can post comments on the page. This shows that the business is willing to accept feedback.

Engagement. If a person sees a facebook and twitter ID, then there is a good chance that they are showing willing to communicate with their potential customers on a regular basis. In otherwords having a regular engagement or relationship with their audience. This is positive and beneficial to the business because they also have the benefit of word of mouth.

Leverage. There is only so much effort you can place in building your business, so using the internet and other people (fans) to share the load is a bonus. Facebook and Twitter have features that allow you to access on a regular basis many more people.

The only disadvantage of Facebook and Twitter is that it is not so long lasting, so coupled with a blog, your social media presence can have longevity. Someone who follows your social media post back to a blog post will also be able to see your progression.

If you would like to discover more about making more money using the internet, you may download the e-book by visiting http://invite4you.com/Lazy
Enter your details and you will receive the e-book link in your email inbox.

p.s. what does this article have to do with cold calling? Cold calling is a very singular event. In 99% of cases is just a fleeting moment. Social media allows you to draw a customer in to your business and by connecting in a 'warm' way, when your potential customer is ready, they will buy from you.

5 new learnings from a power packed weekend

Sue and I usually invest in our personal development on a daily basis by reading, listening to audio books and sharing with each other and our blogs.

From a team perspective when new team members join our "Team Of Amazing People" we always have a powerful arsenal of tools, resources and strategies to assist.

But there are times when a leader emerges and that's when and why we travel every 6 months to our mastermind group meeting.

We bring a small group of ambitious people with us.

So far we have been to.

Orlando x 2
London x 12
Paris, France
Warsaw, Poland
Lisbon, Portugal

Next stop Moscow, Russia.
(looking for 3 people to travel with us for that personal development event)

So what we're the top 5 learnings of the Lisbon event. I make notes and took audio recordings so I could playback in the car.

The key notes were.

1. Stand in front of the mirror and say to yourself..
"you are awesome"  multi millionaire Todd Hartog

2. Rephrase what you say. Rather than saying "I can't do that", ask yourself or your mentors "how can I achieve that?"

3. Ask of yourself and others, "where do you want to get to? How good do you want to be?" Don't assume anything. This way you can help others achieve exactly what they want.
Henry Marsh 4 times Olympian.

4. Think of an egg. If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If an egg is broken from the inside then life begins.

Great things happen from the inside.
Piotr, multi millionaire.

5. Put your family and relationships before your business and job.

Ok so there's a quick summary. Sue and I have developed a business model that can be used by people wishing to develop their lives personally financially and physically. Allowing people to gain a second income while preserving their family values.

It all starts with downloading our ebook and  getting to know us. We'd love to help you!

Because I have decided, but also it will be a time to connect with friends old and new from around the world. Some I will be meeting for the first time.

The quality of the training will be great. Leaders will present their journeys and we will all share our experiences.

But most of all there will be a fantastic benefit for you. Whether you know me or not, as I sit here next to my wonderful wife Sue, I just know that the information we collect on this trip, we will be happy to share with you.

2 precious ways of keeping your savings intact

BullionVault 

A couple of years ago, I met Robert Kiyosaki as part of his Rich Dad weekend. One person I wanted to see was Mike Maloney. Unfortunately Mike was not there at the weekend. Robert explained that Mike and him had fallen out over a couple of issues and Robert felt that Mike should not attend.

I believe the reason Mike was excluded from the event was that in contrast to the stock market education, Mike was going to show how currency was becoming less and less valuable so why use vehicles that use it for investment.

Mike's story is about discovering the value of Gold and Silver. I was looking for a way to invest in gold and silver and it took me a while to find the company I was happy with. Please watch the video and then click the link below to view information about bullion vault and do your research.




So far I have invested in Silver and Gold. It is free to set up an account and to track gold prices to see how they have done over the last 5, 10 years. Check out the link below..

how can you get the info for a blog post each day

This should really be a blog post, but hey I thought I would send it direct to you.

So how do I get the info for a daily blog post?

I get inspired each day. I either listen to audio books ( i spend 3 hours in my private university a.k.a. car ) or meet with inspirational people or attend events.

I make notes.

Perhaps you don't do these things, so how can you get the same?

Simple, just re-use mine.

Start your post with, just heard a great story from my mentor Mark or

Just received this today.

making money as an internet ad / blog poster

Recently I have been growing my business in Lisbon, Portugal. A few interesting things happened as a result of myself and my team promoting a couple of vacancies we had for leaders.

Firstly our team booked our tickets for the meeting, then we started promoting. A few bites from entrepreneurs in Lisbon, but also a multi lingual Londoner looking to build a team internationally and a power hungry mum who recruited in new zealand.

This is the hidden power of the internet. If your ad or blog post is setup in the correct way, it can be found by anyone. It must be niche enough so that it can be found. Anyway our system allows you to make money by posting ads on free websites, blogging and many other ways.

Step 1 is to set up our system.
Step 2 is to advertise - post the ad or create the specific traffic to your system website.
Step 3 of the people who submit their information on your squeeze page website, some will be leadership material (they will follow your instructions and set up a system). These are the people who will get invited to the next level. A promotion if you will. The requirement is that they are keen and are coachable, following each step of the e-book.

Anyway here's the ad that can be posted online in various places such as viva street, friday ad, craigs list, gumtree etc. If you wish to use the following system, download the e-book first and get going.


Title: Part time internet ad poster - full training given

Content: Perhaps you already have a job but are good with using the internet. Perhaps you have a spare hour or so a week and are looking for an extra income.

By posting ads on the internet and or creating an online diary you will be able to create a regular monthly income.

Skills required are

* Dedication
* Willingness to succeed
* Coachable (willing to learn)

Full training will be given after a short induction followed by an interview where we will discover your needs and help you to achieve them.

In the first instance, download the e-book from the following web address.
http://invite4you.com/lazy

Please read through the pages, follow each step where necessary and we will contact you within a week to talk about the next stages.

This opportunity will allow you to work from home with hours to suit you.

DREAM your way to ultimate health

A couple of years ago I met a doctor who had spend most of his career researching nutrition and long life.

The conclusion he came to was summarised on a single slide of his presentation
In order to live a ling life you must have 4 features. Imagine a page divided into 4.

Rest
Drink
Move
Eat

All these things you must do in order to live longer. If you currently are not getting the right amounts of these 4 essential components.then you must Aspire to better health and long life.

DRINK
Hydration is important. Make sure you have water with you throughout the day or have access to a shop or tap.

REST
An ideal amount of uninterrupted sleep is 7 hours. This allows not only mental recuperation but physical recovery.

EAT
Having 5 a day is about having enough antioxidants so that your body can stay healthy. Are you eating enough of the right food each and every day.

ASPIRE
Even though you may not have the perfect amount of all you need, your mental mapping is going to help with the change.that is needed. Make a list of all you want to achieve and display in a prominent position in your home. The more you see your list, the more aligned you will become.

MOVE
You do not need to do a marathon each day. In fact as long as you don't spend all day in bed or sitting in a chair. Even walking around for a few minutes every couple of hours will mean the difference between poor and better health.

"All beget all". Even if you focus on just one of these attributes you will start to notice change in other areas of your life.

With one condition you can make money from anything

Some quality time spent with my family revealed a hidden passion and meeting of minds.

The result, a powerful business launch.

So I was with my sons and we were having chats about all sorts of things. The conversation came round to business.

I said to my son
"Studying in school will enable you to get a great job with a nice income. In addition to a job you could have a business."

Interest piqued, we then talked about how much exactly you could earn. "Imagine you have a salary let's say it's 100 gold coins. Now imagine you have a business with 10 people who each earn you an extra 10% of your salary. How much do you earn now?"

10% x 10 that's an extra 100 percent. I'd double my salary.

Yes, so how much could a business earn you?

Well 100%

Yes, if you stopped at 10 people. Why stop? Why not 20, 40, 100 in your team.
So, how much could you earn?

Unlimited but what could I start a business on?

Anything, but it must be something you really enjoy doing. That way you are more likely to succeed. What do you really enjoy doing? What's your favourite thing?

Minecraft

We then went on to describe how to make money with Minecraft. There was one part that my son didn't fully understand and that was how to set up a website, the squeeze page and develop the php autoresponder.

"No worries.", I said. "That part of the system I have invented and can offer to you and anyone you introduce."

The system I then drew on the white board made sense and I asked my son how much it was worth to him.

"Easily 100 gold coins. Or more."

"OK, now what if you could sell the system on to others?", I said.

"Well then unlimited. So I will be driving to sixth form in a Ferrari?"

"If you want", I said.

So now we are working on the e-book of the system that can be used to make money using Minecraft. A picture of the overview of the system is enclosed below.

the making money using minecraft system we put together   
 In the e-book we are working on, there will be an explaination of all the components.

If you want to pre-order the making money on minecraft e-book and system, please email. MyMoneyCraft@invite4you.com Or enter your details at. Http://invite4you.com/lazy

The e book will be free and your first month of using the system will be free allowing you to fully test it out and use our mentoring. Here's to your success!

How about making money with something you don't like?

Ok so maybe my last post wasn't entirely truthful.
It is possible to make money doing something you don't enjoy. Most of us do so every day.

We do many things we don't want to because we have bills to pay and families to help.

However there's no reason why we can't make more money while we are doing the things we don't like.

Take for example my main money making activity. I spend time with potential clients helping them meet their needs. I get totally lost in my role and completely forget time. I love it, however I have to travel a lot.
I'm currently sitting in a service station on the way back from an appointment. I have my coffee and snack (cheeky RVL bar snook over from USA) , bluetooth keyboard and I'm tapping away writing this blog, knowing that as a result of it, more people will see my business opportunity ( http://invite4you.com/lazy ) and find out about Team Of Amazing People.

There is one thing I don't like doing so much which is driving for over 4 hours a day. I use this time to increase my income even further. Here's how.

Firstly I've turned my car into a university - I have all the audio CDs and MP3s in my AMI (Audio A5 Bang and Olufsen Stereo) and listen to them on my journey.

Secondly I've turned my car into an advertising board.
The sign on the back says "join Team Of Amazing People today & earn while you drive".

So even though I don't love everything I do, I do maximise the earning potential from every activity.
And maximise the learning opportunity - to your benefit.

5 features of a more attractive blog post

While looking to write my next blog post on DREAMing your way to health (more on that later) I opened up my team blogging system.

I noticed that my friend Wojciech had written a post that could do with a few tweaks.
He'd asked me to look at his next post and make suggestions as to how to improve it and attract more visitors.

Rather than telling Woj about his post I thought I would address the post in a blog post. Let's start with the original post.

MyLeadCompany is great

MyLeadCompany is simply amazing! Lead Capture System is simple and user friendly and yet very powerful program! I Proved it many times! using this system and was able to be listed in top recruiters list! MLC Thank you! Thank you J.R.

Please join me, together we will succeed. http://wojtas22.myleadcompany.com 

My first reaction was to break the post into seperate parts and follow AIDA

ATTENTION
INTEREST
DESIRE
ACTION



Attention
That's the role of the subject line. The post has at least 5 points in it so I thought that I would have a bit of fun with linkbait. I'm also thinking about the next part of AIDA (Interest). I used to use LinkbaitGenerator.com for some fun suggestions for titles and In their style I came up with.

5 ways MyLeadCompany can stop you failing financially and become successful.

Consider the 2 - which do you think will get more hits?



MyLeadCompany is great

or

5 ways MyLeadCompany can stop you failing financially and increase success rates.


Now to address the content.

Interest, Desire and Action (last parts of AIDA) are needed. Action is the link so it was important to make it a clickable link. In other words if it is plain text then the visitor will have to copy and paste into browser. If they are on a smart phone then most will not follow. Easy to rectify in blogger, just select the URL (web address and then click Link on the menu bar.

Interest
I like to write in a talkative way - just like if I was in the room with you having a chat. That's the way to write copy for blogs: like you are having a chat with someone. So in blog posts I like to have a story (just like at the beginning).

Here's how the post could have been re written:

5 ways MyLeadCompany can stop you failing financially and become successful.


I'd been looking for a way to make money online and had been checking out various systems. I became friends with Mark N Hopgood online who has been an entrepreneur for 20 years and we explored a couple of options. I joined Mark with My Lead company which was free to join and explore before I decided to put my efforts into it.

As I don't have a degree in physics and computing (like most people) I was impressed that the web interface was easy to use. I liked the little pictures that helped you to find your way. However, what really impressed me was when I got an email from the founder saying that my business position had grown in size (over 4,565 people had joined under me and could potentially earn me money). The work I had put in to learning how to blog and attract people to my blog system (provided by Mark N Hopgood) had paid off.

I decided to buy a lead package on a regular basis which served 2 purposes. I could see that more people were joining my team and I could see income coming into my e-wallet. In addition I had hundreds of leads to contact and share this wonderful opportunity.

Since then I have become a top recruiter in MLC and can't wait to become financially free.

If you liked finding out about my experience and you are interested in working with us and succeeding in an online business, contact me by completing your details now at.

Conclusion
AIDA with a story plus some third party mentions with less superlatives make for a blog post that is more readable and geniune.
