<p>I have had the chance to review the report and can tell you that it contains Excellent Information on Membership Sites. Yaro shows you from his own experience how he has created a 6 figure Residual Monthly Income from his own Membership sites, and how just about anyone can do it.</p>
<p>He offers some very cool Strategies in the Report including:</p>
<ul>
<li>The precise model He  uses to create several $100,000+ a year memberships, formulated into an easy-to-follow method he reveals to you &#8211; for FREE</li>
<li>His &#8220;Low-to-No Technology&#8221; model for creating no-hassle, easy-to-run memberships you can run from anywhere in the world ( doing whatever makes you smile&#8230;)</li>
<li>How to do a successful &#8216;warm-open&#8217; for your shiny new membership <em>(<span class="underline">without</span> the arduous launch process) </em><em></em></li>
<li>Yaro&#8217;s personal &#8217;stick strategies&#8217; to entice your new members to stay (no more &#8216;catch-and-release&#8217;)</li>
<li>How to make as much as $1 million by selling your membership site &#8211; IF you ever decide to quit your membership cash cow (either way you win, but having the option to exit as a millionaire is just very cool!)</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey everyone, day 3 here at <strong><a title="Permanent Link to Armand Morin Live In Dallas" rel="bookmark" href="../armand-morin-live-in-dallas">Armand Morin Live</a></strong> in Dallas. It&#8217;s been a lot of fun. Yes I learned that <strong>I Suck!</strong> It wasn&#8217;t really surprising.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.steverenner.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/armand-morin-steve-renner.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1208" src="http://www.steverenner.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/armand-morin-steve-renner.jpg" alt="armand-morin-steve-renner" width="400" height="470" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Steve Renner -with &#8211; Armand Morin</strong></p>
<p>Armand is a brilliant guy, and has a way with words, and I like that he calls it like it is. You don&#8217;t have enough people opting into your list, your web site doesn&#8217;t convert, <strong>YOU SUCK!</strong></p>
<p>Covered some great Google Advertising strategies yesterday and watched Armand create a product live. Today he will edit the product will be up for sale here by next week. I think he is calling it, &#8220;<strong>Google Ad Secrets</strong>&#8220;. Now that&#8217;s the way to do it, Dream It Up, Take Massive Action, and Make It Happen.</p>
<p>Using Google Adwords is probably the most powerful Traffic Getting Strategy there is, and there is a lot of people out there teaching it, but Armand doesn&#8217;t just teach this stuff, he is actually out doing it on a daily basis.</p>
<p>One of the biggest things I got from this weekend was how Armand interacts with people, and how they react to him. He has a down to earth, easy going style that people can really relate to.</p>
<p>We had a little networking party last night and I have met some very cool people here in Dallas from as far off as UK and Australia, who came in specially for this training event. That is very cool! I may have picked up some new <a title="iNetGlobal" href="http://www.inetglobal.com">iNetGlobal</a> Consultants.</p>
<p>One recurring theme I picked up is that most people here already have a business, but are just getting started online, and looking for some direction.</p>
<p>I see the hunger that people have for <a title="Internet Marketing" href="http://steverenner.com">Internet Marketing</a> knowledge, is insatiable. And this is just the tip of the iceberg, there has to be 1,000 of other people out there who are hungry for this knowledge.</p>
<p>There has never been a better time to be involved in the Internet, it&#8217;s easier than ever to get out and build your own online business, even if <strong>YOU SUCK!</strong></p>

InterNetwork Marketing, is really the same thing, Network with your friends and associates on the Internet. The Key is,  at the end of the day you Make Money.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.steverenner.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/gold-key.jpg"></a><a href="http://www.steverenner.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/gold-key1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1193" src="http://www.steverenner.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/gold-key1.jpg" alt="gold-key1" width="376" height="285" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Internetwork Marketing &#8211; The Key To </strong><strong>Making Money Online</strong></p>
<p>Here is a little background on Network Marketing or MLM<br />
- in case you are not too familiar with the concept.</p>
<p>Earlier network distributors were those people who were recruited by their friends, colleagues or family folks. They were provided a distributor start up kit by their sponsor and became an independent multi level dealer. The only advice that the sponsor gave was to get as many people in the downline as quickly possible.</p>
<p>The main incentive with multi-level marketing/network marketing home business is the residual income to be made from getting commissions from everything that your distributors under you sells. MLM was big business before the Internet came along and it’s one of the biggest industries today because of it.</p>
<p>The reasons for MLM’s growth are the new age marketing strategies. Earlier the market strategies involved talking to everyone about the opportunities offered by your company. However, this meant that some people listened and some people did not since not everyone is interested in being a network marketer.</p>
<p>So, after alienating almost your entire family about your network marketing home business, you would then call people you had never even met before from lead sheets. Cold calling strangers throughout the day to get new distributors under you either made you tough or you would eventually fold your hand and give it all up.</p>
<p>Let’s face it, not everyone is going to share your vision or enthusiasm with network marketing. But, now since MLM has became an online business, everything changed&#8230;</p>
<p>The phrase “Network Marketing and  Home Business” takes on an entirely different meaning. Today, there are hundreds if not thousands of MLM companies that use the Internet. These companies usually have hundreds of thousands of marketers that are making incredible amounts of money. This income coming from MLM marketing has allowed many independent distributors to have a continuous flow of money, alowing them to quit their Day Jobs and enjoy a whole new lifestyle.</p>
<p>The MLM industry has exploded online because more people than ever before can safely shop online and get products from the independent distributors.</p>
<p>The network marketing home business model has begun to attract many individuals into becoming distributors because they are their own bosses and all work can be done from the computer. This allows a great sense of independence. One of the main advantages of online marketing is that marketers can really target those who are interested in the company and those who will take business opportunities.</p>
<p>Internet marketing techniques allow the network marketing home business owner to get targeted traffic that is interested in the product and the opportunity. No longer do you have to cold call prospects from lead sheets that are old and recycled. Online, you can reach hundreds of thousands of people to market all over the world, 24/7, without ever having to even leave your house!</p>
<p>Another advantage concerning the network marketing home business is that the business really is a network of other people you are constantly working with online. You can sponsor hundreds of others in your downline and are able to stay in touch with everyone over the Internet. You can have daily, weekly meetings with your company and downline to insure that everyone is updated and on the same page with campaigns, etc.</p>
<p>A new entrant who has become a distributor under you can be taught the marketing techniques by examples of other people’s success and marketing methods employed. The tools and methods are simple enough to learn. It will just be a matter of few days till your downline distributor starts generating his or her targeted traffic.</p>
<p>The advantages of the network marketing as a home business has never been more appealing than it is right now. It is a multi-billion dollar industry that just keeps growing. There has never been a better time to get involved and start your own Home Based <strong>Internetwork Marketing</strong> Business!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a title="V-Local Business Directory" href="http://www.V-Local.com">www.V-Local.com</a></strong> is a service that is at the right place at the right time for Local Business Advertisers. In a recent article <a title="eMarketer" href="http://eMarketer.com">eMarketer</a> details US <strong>Online Business Advertising</strong>:</p>
<h3><img src="http://www.emarketer.com/images/chart_gifs/102001-103000/102213.gif" alt="US Online Advertising Spending as a Percent of Total Media Advertising Spending, 2007-2013" /></h3>
<p>The Internet’s share of total media ad spending is rising by at least 1 percentage point every year—for two reasons: Marketers are spending more on Internet ads, and less on ads in traditional media.</p>
<p>The <strong>US Ad Spending</strong> report analyzes the shifts in the media landscape due to changing usage patterns, economics and technology.</p>
<p>The media spending shifts predate the recession, but the current economy reinforces the new advertising models and makes them more permanent.</p>
<p>Digital marketing offers compelling benefits, especially for cash-conscious companies. Marketers can more readily measure the results of Internet advertising than with most traditional media. This produces more-efficient advertising and higher ROI, which in turn pushes traditional media to compete with lower pricing.</p>
<p>eMarketer projects that the online share of ad dollars will continue to grow, rising from nearly 10% this year to slightly more than 15% in 2013.</p>
<p>This is good news for iNetGlobal Marketing Consultants (MC&#8217;s). As a leader in <strong>Online Business Advertising</strong> iNetGlobal delivers quality traffic for business at an extremely affordable cost.</p>

<p>You can  tap into huge networks of people you would not normally come in contact with. The overlap in your target circle of influence into other circles, it&#8217;s amazing. Still working out the concept!</p>
<p>So what kind of people are there on twitter? Found a cool article on <a title="Mashable" href="http://mashable.com">Mashable</a> on what else &gt; <a title="Twitter Effect" href="http://www.steverenner.com/the-twitter-effect">Twitter</a>. Check out this article by:</p>
<p><em>Lon S. Cohen is a writer and Director of Communications at <a href="http://twitter.com/ALSofGNY">@ALSofGNY</a>.  He is <a href="http://twitter.com/obilon">@obilon</a> on Twitter<span class="blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-07"><span>&#8230;</span></span><a class="blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-07" rel="http://www.blippr.com/apps/336651-Twitter.whtml" href="http://www.blippr.com/apps/336651-Twitter"></a></em></p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://ec.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/twitter-approaches.jpg" alt="" width="170" height="185" />There are plenty of strategies for approaching Twitter. It’s getting more complex each day, but in the end it can be boiled down to a few simple approaches.</p>
<p>From Twittering on behalf of yourself to Twittering for a company, playing the part of a classic character to being a robot, here are seven ways users approach Twitter.</p>
<p>Find out more &#8211; Read on &#8230;</p>
<hr />
<h2>1. You are yourself</h2>
<hr />You are on Twitter for the community, the knowledge you get and give, and the sharing of resources &#8211; whether it’s for professional or purely personal reasons. Twitter is your communication device.</p>
<p>I can go on all day providing examples of people who Twitter for their own enjoyment or just business networking but not specifically to promote anything or anyone in particular. Here are a few of my favorites that I follow:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-117339" src="http://ec.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/maryknudson.jpg" alt="maryknudson twitter image" /><a href="http://twitter.com/john_hunter">@john_hunter</a> &#8211; He’s a writer from England who frequently just tweets what’s on his mind.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/MaryKnudson">@MaryKnudson</a> &#8211; A professor from a prominent school who really just enjoys having good conversations and sometimes helping people get connected.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/amykchulik">@amykchulik</a> &#8211; The best friendships on Twitter came from out of the blue. @amychulik and I have been tweeting for months on a number of subjects and I can’t remember for the life of me how we connected. I’m just glad we did.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/jpage">@jpage</a> &#8211; She’s a twenty-something online marketer here just for sharing and networking. We used to work together and barely got out of there alive, but we survived to tweet another day.</p>
<hr />
<h2>2. You have a personal brand</h2>
<hr />You might use Twitter under an assumed or enhanced personality and stick to a strategic plan. It’s not necessarily as insidious as it sounds, it’s just that you are your own business and you need to promote it in a certain way, with a certain angle. You pay close attention to the things you say so they align with how you want the public to perceive you, and even in times when you share personal information it only goes to further the identity you’ve fostered online.</p>
<p>Whatever the reason you tweet, at the end of the day, it’s to sell yourself as an expert in a particular field or to promote your products and services. Some people’s true online personalities are so unique and so attached to what they do they become unintentional personal brands.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-117340" src="http://ec.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/henican.png" alt="henican twitter image" /><a href="http://twitter.com/garyvee">@garyvee</a> &#8211; I can’t go a day without imagining Gary jumping up and down in one of his videos telling me that I’m so totally awesome. Is it live? Or is it Vaynerchuk?</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/BadAstronomer">@BadAstronomer</a> &#8211; Before he was on Twitter, he was a one-man brand, defying Moon landing deniers and shedding light on myths about the universe. He’s still up to his old tricks.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/henican">@henican</a> &#8211; He’s a Newsday columnist and a Fox News political analyst and a Talk Radio Network host and… A Cartoon Network voice? His tweets are high concept mini-columns that perfectly capture his sensibilities, his humor and his voice.</p>
<hr />
<h2>3. You work for a corporate brand</h2>
<hr />You Twitter for a company that has its own history and values. Your own personality or interests rarely if ever leak into the Twitter feed, and usually it’s only if they are perfectly aligned to the brand’s strategy.</p>
<p>For example, you might talk and share opinions about social media itself but you’d stay far away from political discussions. Your main intent on Twitter is to advance the culture, the message and the products and services of the company that employs you. Your personality may be of a spokesperson, a brand name or even a remotely controlled rover on the fourth planet from the sun.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-117341" src="http://ec.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/scottmonty.png" alt="scottmonty twitter image" /><a href="http://twitter.com/shirleybrady">@shirleybrady</a> &#8211; She’s the BusinessWeek.com community editor and a little bit of an exception to the rule. But for the most part she’s all business.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/ScottMonty">@ScottMonty</a> &#8211; Less an exception to the rule, Scott, head of social media at Ford Motor Company generally stays on track when it comes to tweeting about Ford vehicles.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/comcastcares">@comcastcares</a> &#8211; As Director of Digital Care Frank Eliason’s job is to make you feel that a big cable company can be touchy-feely and your problems do matter to them.</p>
<hr />
<h2>4. You’re a fictional character or dead historical person</h2>
<hr />You are a real person but your Twitter account is entirely dedicated to promoting a character in a story, tweeting as someone from history or as a new character created just for Twitter.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-117343" src="http://ec.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/joan_holloway.png" alt="joan_holloway twitter image" /><a href="http://twitter.com/R2D2">@R2D2</a> &#8211; As the original tweeter, R2D2 is one half of the most famous robotic duo in the universe. After saving the galaxy from the evil Empire, he’s just building his network and tweeting about the old times with the Skywalker family.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/cdarwin">@cdarwin</a> &#8211; Charles Darwin was the 19th Century naturalist who turned the world on its ear with his book “The Origin Of Species,” proposing that random mutations and natural selection were the drivers of the diversity of life on earth.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/GeneHunt">@GeneHunt</a> &#8211; He’s gruff, he’s offensive and he degrades women. He’s also on Twitter. @GeneHunt is the Twitter persona of Detective Chief Inspector Gene Hunt, a character in the UK version of Life on Mars and the spin-off Ashes to Ashes.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/joan_holloway">@joan_holloway</a> &#8211; Somehow a sexy office manager from an ad agency from more than four decades ago has embraced Twitter. And I’m not all that upset about it. Joan Halloway is a character from the wildly entertaining show Mad Men that takes a look at the culture of ad agencies and relationships between men and women in the 1960s.</p>
<hr />
<h2>5. You’re literature</h2>
<hr />Even more specific is exclusively Twittering out a story or some poetry or something of the like. Some have tried to use it as a true publishing platform 140-characters at a time, either with short stories that fit within a tweet or as an ongoing series of tweets that will make up a longer piece.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-117342" src="http://ec.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/twitterfiction.jpg" alt="twitterfiction twitter image" /><a href="http://twitter.com/smallplaces">@smallplaces</a> &#8211; A novel entirely on Twitter called “Small Places” written by N. L. Belardes.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/twitterfiction">@twitterfiction</a> &#8211; Original works of 140-character fiction. Like a publishing company on Twitter, they take submissions for original work to tweet.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/arjunbasu">@arjunbasu</a> &#8211; It’s not easy to put so much irony and wit into 140-character short stories, but he does it. Called “twisters,” they always have some sort of twist in the end.</p>
<hr />
<h2>6. You are a robot</h2>
<hr />You are not really a person at all. You are a bot. I’m a science fiction fan. I’m all for the rights of robots and all that, but in the world we live in bots are not exactly the highly developed neural networks that will eventually take over the world as predicted by the Singularity or the Terminator series of films. For now, if you just use Twitter to promote content that is produced elsewhere and that process is automated, then you just might be a robot.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-117344" src="http://ec.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nytimes.jpg" alt="nytimes twitter image" /><a href="http://twitter.com/NYTimes">@NYTimes</a> &#8211; All the news that’s fit to Tweet. Yeah, I said it.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/CNN">@CNN</a> &#8211; Cable news channel embracing and succeeding on Twitter.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/Newsweek">@Newsweek</a> &#8211; A national magazine trying to reinvent itself. Stories are fed into a Twitter stream.</p>
<hr />
<h2>7. You’re a blend</h2>
<hr />Like most things in life, Twitter is not black and white. Many Twitterers are a blend of the above designations. I think that Twitter is more fun when people mix it up a little, putting a personal and relaxed conversational tone to their stream even if they are there to promote a brand, whether it’s personal or corporate.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-117345" src="http://ec.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/neildiamond.jpg" alt="neildiamond twitter image" /><a href="http://twitter.com/ariherzog">@ariherzog</a> &#8211; He’s an online media strategist for business and government cultivating his personal brand. But what he does best is chat about a variety of topics from my Star Wars addiction to the best ways a business can use Twitter. <em>Ari is an occasional contributor to Mashable<a class="blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-07" rel="http://www.blippr.com/apps/337174-Mashable.whtml" href="http://www.blippr.com/apps/337174-Mashable"><span> (</span><img class="wp-smiley" src="http://static1.blippr.com/images/inline-face_07.png?1237798206" alt="Mashable reviews" /><span>)</span></a>.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/NeilDiamond">@NeilDiamond</a> &#8211; Sweet Caroline! The Jewish Elvis is on Twitter. Guess what? He’s not doing such a bad job. While he’s clearly a brand name, he’s quite honest and open in his tweets. This is one celebrity that actually feels more real and is more endearing on Twitter.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/balmeras">@balmeras</a> &#8211; She used to work for The National Wildlife Foundation blogging and Twittering about children, education and the outdoors. Now she’s doing the same thing on her own terms and having lots of fun doing it. But when she’s not promoting her new blog and things you should be doing with your kids, you can find her just shooting the breeze.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/jojeda">@jojeda</a> &#8211; Tech writer and author of a book on Twitter. (What else?) He’s sometimes wearing his journalism hat but mostly just tweeting about stuff and having good conversations, in English and Spanish!</p>
<p>Cool article Lon. Wow Neil Diamond, how about <a title="Oprah" href="http://twitter.com/Oprah">@Oprah</a>&#8230; Oprah talked about Twitter on her show last Friday, I heard some numbers earlier today suggesting that perhaps over a million users signed up for Twitter following Oprah’s show.</p>
<p>So, Introduce yourself and tell us your Twitter handle and about your Twitter approach in the comments.</p>

Everybody and his brother are now on Twitter. In a short time Twitter has built one of the largest communities on the Internet, and the world has taken notice.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/steverenner"><img class="size-full wp-image-1171 aligncenter" src="http://www.steverenner.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/twitter_00.jpg" alt="twitter_00" width="350" height="234" /></a></p>
<p><strong>The Twitter Effect</strong></p>
<p>Twitter is a Micro-Blogging platform, where people can send short messages to each other or just post them to the entire group.It is integrates with your Cell Phone so you can text. It&#8217;s a great way for people to stay in touch, with their friends, business associates, fans, etc.</p>
<p>Twitter is a social site and has quickly developed it&#8217;s own sense of community, and a language all it&#8217;s own. (similar to other communities like ebay)</p>
<p>Seems like the name of the game is how many followers you have. Having been on Twitter for some time, I have recently seen a sharp increase in the number of people following me.  I don&#8217;t really care, as I kind of do my own thing anyway.</p>
<p>I did follow Britney Spears for a while just for fun, and started getting a lot of young girls following me, so I quickly unfollowed her.</p>
<p>I try to stay mostly in my own niche, in the people I follow, although, I am starting to see the possibility to tap into different networks.</p>
<p>This is very exciting.</p>
<p>I appreciate content, and an exchange of ideas, more than a bunch of marketers all trying to sell each other something!</p>
<p>By the way check out this Hot New Product blah, blah&#8230; (just kidding)</p>
