<p><strong>&#8220;Google Adsense blows chunks.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Now, maybe I offended a few people here but there&#8217;s definitely <u>easier</u> ways to make coffee change online.<br />
<span id="more-4291"></span><br />
None of these ways involve Google Adsense which is basically ancient history&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>But why am I putting down Google Adsense specifically?</strong></p>
<p>Simply because Google Adsense takes up valuable advertising space on your websites you could use for high ticket affiliate products or even &#8220;baby&#8221; affiliate products like <a href="http://www.jasonbetter.com/reviews/how-to-write-sales-letters-that-will-probably-make-you-rich/">Yanik&#8217;s Instant Sales Letters</a> that have a great conversion rate.</p>
<blockquote><p>
By the way, I highly recommend you get <a href="http://www.jasonbetter.com/reviews/how-to-write-sales-letters-that-will-probably-make-you-rich/">Yanik&#8217;s product</a> even if you just use it to make some money on your blog. It only takes a few sales to pay for itself and it&#8217;s totally one of the easiest ways to get started with copywriting.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>But enough self promotion, we&#8217;re talking about making <u>you</u> money.</strong></p>
<p>And Google Adsense is <u>not</u> the way to go&#8230;</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t confuse Google Adsense with Google Adwords which is a &#8220;crazy good&#8221; way to make money if you can avoid the Google &#8220;Slap&#8221;, &#8220;Bodyslam&#8221; or &#8220;Pedigree&#8221;. Yeah, how can you tell I had the TV on last night? Gosh&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyhow, I bet you would like to make a little more money while you&#8217;re getting your business up and running. And maybe you&#8217;re wondering how to do that.</p>
<p>Honestly, I can&#8217;t think of an easier way to make money online than to get into affiliate marketing. At least, in a small way.</p>
<p><strong>You might <u>already</u> be an affiliate and not even know it.</strong></p>
<p>Because almost every product you buy online has a program where they reward you for selling their products by giving you a small commission. Some products only payout a couple of bucks. Other products payout as much as 70% of the selling price. Although, that&#8217;s the exception not the rule.</p>
<p><strong>But most people go about it the <u>wrong</u> way.</strong></p>
<p>They post flashing banners on their websites. They write crazy reviews for products they don&#8217;t use or believe in. They spam people with links.</p>
<p>Those are all good ways to make people <u>hate</u> you&#8230;</p>
<p>But it doesn&#8217;t have to be that way.</p>
<p>Especially when you think about how many products you buy every year.</p>
<p>You could be writing, recording, or filming short reviews. You could be sharing the products you love with your list. You could even use affiliate products to make more money while you&#8217;re learning Pay-Per-Click, Copywriting, Or Search Engine Optimization.</p>
<p><strong>Imagine getting <u>paid</u> to learn</strong></p>
<p>And you can get paid to learn&#8230;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not hard to write a short product review today, post it on your blog, and send a quick note to your list. In 30 minutes you could make your first affiliate commission online.</p>
<p>And if you don&#8217;t make a sale today&#8230; don&#8217;t worry about it&#8230;</p>
<p>Babe Ruth did <u>not</u> hit a home run every time he swung the bat&#8230;</p>
<p>But at least he swung the bat.</p>

<p>Maybe you&#8217;re like me. I tend to &#8220;bookmark&#8221; everything in my web browser to read at a later date. Sometimes &#8220;later&#8221; never seems to happen at all. But this morning I came across a quote in my &#8220;bookmarks&#8221; I really thought you would like.<br />
<span id="more-4202"></span></p>
<p>If you let it, this quote will forever change the way you look at <u>success</u> in our industry, or any industry for that matter.</p>
<p>It might very well <u>inspire</u> you to greatness you can&#8217;t even imagine today. </p>
<p><strong><em>It&#8217;s also a great answer to a tricky question:</em></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;How long does it take to be a <u>world-class</u> Network Marketer?&#8221;</p>
<p>Because the answer is basically: &#8220;Ummm&#8230; about ten thousand hours.&#8221;</p>
<p><em><strong>Here&#8217;s The Quote:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>“In study after study, of composers, basketball players, fiction writers, ice-skaters, concert pianists, chess players, master criminals, <strong>this number</strong> comes up again and again. <br/><strong>Ten thousand hours</strong> is equivalent to roughly three hours a day, or 20 hours a week, of practice over 10 years… No one has yet found a case in which true world-class expertise was accomplished in less time. It seems that it takes the brain this long to assimilate all that it needs to know to achieve true mastery.“ <strong>&#8211; Daniel Levitin from Malcom Gladwell&#8217;s book &#8220;Outliers&#8221;<br />
</strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p>Now, if you&#8217;re a member of the Association Of Better Networkers then you&#8217;ve probably listened to this month&#8217;s premium training call with <a href="http://www.betternetworker.com/podcasts/view/personal-development/leadership/now-is-the-time-to-explode-your-mlm-business">Dan McCormick </a>where he actually talks a little bit about this principle.<br />
<strong><br />
In case you missed out&#8230; </strong></p>
<p>Dan McCormick mentions an article that should be <u>required</u> reading in Network Marketing. Here it is: <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2006/10/30/8391794/index.htm">What It Takes To Be Great</a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s definitely worth reading today. <img src='http://www.jasonbetter.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>To your success,</p>

<span id="more-4173"></span><br />
But most people don&#8217;t have ten years to read all of the old books on advertising and copywriting. They want to get started making money today, not next year.</p>
<p><strong>What Books Do I Personally Recommend?</strong></p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;ve read almost every book you can imagine on copywriting. As a matter of fact, a few weeks ago I paid $481.90 to get four rare copywriting books shipped to me.</p>
<p>One of them was a really hard to find classic by advertising man Maxwell Sackheim. Another was a rare book by Clyde Bedell. I was grinning ear to ear when I ripped that box open. <img src='http://www.jasonbetter.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>But I would <u>not</u> recommend most of the books I read to Network Marketers starting out. Because they&#8217;re usually hundreds of pages long. Because they&#8217;re usually boring as sin. And because they&#8217;re usually expensive. </p>
<p>There are exceptions like Joe Sugarman&#8217;s &#8220;Adweek Copywriting Handbook&#8221; or Dan Kennedy&#8217;s &#8220;The Ultimate Sales Letter&#8221; but most people just want to get started fast.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I recommend <a href="http://bit.ly/bSYyaL">Yanik Silver&#8217;s &#8220;Instant Sales Letters&#8221;</a>.</p>
<p>You won&#8217;t even have to wait for it to be shipped to you because it&#8217;s an online membership site. And it will definitely get you started fast.</p>
<p>Not only does Yanik give you sales letter templates you will actually use &#8220;right out of the box&#8221; but he gives you a &#8220;copy and paste&#8221; file that I use even when I&#8217;m writing articles&#8230; like this one. </p>
<p>He calls his &#8220;copy and paste&#8221; file the <em>Ultimate Sales Letter Toolbox</em> but it&#8217;s really all the openings, bullets, selling words, phrases, copy-connectors, guarantees, closes, and P.S.s you&#8217;ll ever need to create &#8220;killer&#8221; sales letters.</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s Probably The Easiest Way To Write Money Making Sales Copy&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Basically, when you&#8217;re stuck, you just open up that book and look for the words you need. It really has made a difference in how fast I&#8217;m able to write copy.</p>
<p>I used to have my own &#8220;copy and paste&#8221; file but I use Yanik&#8217;s now because it&#8217;s way more organized than my chicken scratches will ever be &#8211; maybe you&#8217;re the same.</p>
<p><a href="http://bit.ly/bSYyaL">If you&#8217;re interested in getting your own copy then here&#8217;s the link&#8230;</a></p>
<p><strong>You can also sign-up for Yanik&#8217;s free mini-Course:</strong> &#8220;7 Direct Mail Secrets Guaranteed To Create A Stampede of New Business!&#8221; <a href="http://bit.ly/bSYyaL">right here.</a></p>

<p><strong>Disclosure:</strong> I want you to know that <a href="http://bit.ly/bSYyaL">Yanik&#8217;s Instant Sales Letter Product</a> is the first product ever fully endorsed by me on the Jason Better Blog and that I do stand to make some coffee change if you buy his product through links on this blog.</p>
<p>But I <u>believe</u> in this product so highly that I think you should buy it <u>even</u> if you don&#8217;t buy it through me. You will pay the same through my personal link here: <a href="http://bit.ly/bSYyaL">Yanik Silver&#8217;s Instant Sales Letters</a> as you will anywhere else you want to buy this product.</p>

<span id="more-4108"></span></p>
<h3>Writing Attractive Headlines&#8230;</h3>
<p><em>&#8220;On the average, five times as many people read the headline as read the body copy. When you have written your headline, you have spent eighty cents out of your dollar.&#8221; &#8212; David Ogilvy</em></p>
<p>But writing headlines isn&#8217;t easy. So today I&#8217;m giving you five <u>proven</u> headline writing templates. They&#8217;ll almost always boost your comments, Facebook shares, and Retweets. Here they are&#8230;</p>
<h4>#1 &#8211; <u>&#8220;How To&#8221; Headlines</u></h4>
<p>If you&#8217;re ever really stuck when you&#8217;re writing headlines then simply slap the words &#8220;How To&#8221; in front of whatever you&#8217;re showing people how to do. It works like a charm.</p>
<p><em><strong>Examples&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.jasonbetter.com/network-marketing/how-to-use-twitter-like-a-ninja/">How To Use Twitter Like A Ninja</a><br />
<a href="http://www.jasonbetter.com/nerve-center/how-to-use-wordpress-tags-properly/">How To Use Wordpress Tags Properly</a><br />
<a href="http://www.jasonbetter.com/copywriting/how-to-write-popular-blog-posts/">How To Write Popular Blog Posts</a></em></p>
<h4>#2 &#8211; <u>&#8220;Controversy&#8221; Headlines</u></h4>
<p>Whenever you make a stand against something a lot of people are doing, you&#8217;re going to get loads of attention. Just make sure you can support your point of view or people will chase you with torches and pitchforks.</p>
<p><em><strong>Examples&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.jasonbetter.com/copywriting/article-marketing-is-officially-dead/">Article Marketing Is Officially Dead</a><br />
<a href="http://www.jasonbetter.com/copywriting/did-internet-marketers-screw-up-network-marketing/">Did Internet Marketers &#8220;Screw Up&#8221; Network Marketing?</a><br />
<a href="http://www.betternetworker.com/articles/view/personal-development/leadership/attraction-marketing-is-bs-and-doesnt-freaking-work">Attraction Marketing Is B.S. And Doesn&#8217;t Freaking Work</a><br />
</em></p>
<h4>#3 &#8211; <u>&#8220;List&#8221; Headlines</u></h4>
<p>For some weird reason people are addicted to lists! There&#8217;s entire sites like <a href="http://www.cracked.com/">Cracked.com</a> devoted to hilarious lists. <a href="http://www.rd.com/">Reader&#8217;s digest</a> is another great place to see these headlines in action.</p>
<p><em><strong>Examples&#8230;.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.betternetworker.com/articles/view/marketing/social-content/5-must-read-articles-on-better-networker">5 &#8220;Must Read&#8221; Articles On Better Networker</a><br />
<a href="http://www.betternetworker.com/articles/view/personal-development/mindset/new-years-resolutions-suck">4 Ways To Motivate Yourself In 2010</a><br />
<a href="http://www.betternetworker.com/articles/view/marketing/article-marketing/3-ways-to-stand-out-on-better-networker-jason-better">3 Ways To Stand Out On Better Networker</a></p>
<p></em></p>
<h4>#4 &#8211; <u>&#8220;Theme&#8221; Headlines</u></h4>
<p>If you really want to stand out from the crowd then you have to breathe some life into your articles. One easy way to do this is to pick a popular subject and relate it to your tips, tricks, and secrets.</p>
<p><em><strong>For instance&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.jasonbetter.com/network-marketing/how-to-use-twitter-like-a-ninja/">How To Use Twitter Like A Ninja</a><br />
<a href="http://www.jasonbetter.com/network-marketing/the-spartan-secret-of-network-marketing-success/">The Spartan Secret Of Network Marketing Success</a><br />
<a href="http://www.betternetworker.com/articles/view/how-to-market-with-myspace-like-a-teenage-girl">How to Market with MySpace Like a &#8220;Teenage&#8221; Girl</a></em></p>
<p>That last headline is from Better Networker instructor <a href="http://www.betternetworker.com/members/jimyaghi">Jim Yaghi</a>. He artfully combined &#8220;How To&#8221;, &#8220;Theme&#8221;, and &#8220;Lists&#8221; into a powerful headline and article. It&#8217;s even a little controversial, because almost nobody is marketing in Myspace these days&#8230;</p>
<h4>#5 &#8211; <u>&#8220;News&#8221; Headlines</u></h4>
<p>People are wired to respond to news. They&#8217;ll sit in front of the &#8220;boob tube&#8221; for days waiting to hear the latest. They&#8217;ll watch the weather channel for hours before they&#8217;ll look out the window. It&#8217;s crazy.</p>
<p><em><strong>Here&#8217;s a few examples&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.betternetworker.com/articles/view/marketing/press-releases/the-association-of-better-networkers-is-open-for-new-members-right-now">The Association Of Better Networkers Is Now Open</a></em><a href="http://www.betternetworker.com/articles/view/marketing/press-releases/the-association-of-better-networkers-is-open-for-new-members-right-now"><br />
<a href="http://www.betternetworker.com/articles/view/mlm-news/now-accepting-new-critique-applicants">Now Accepting New Critique Applicants</a><br />
<a href="http://www.betternetworker.com/articles/view/mlm-news/free-publicity-for-better-networkers-0">Free Publicity For Better Networkers</a></em></p>
<p>But be careful with news headlines. Your company might be launching a new line of products, that might be fascinating to you, but not to prospects who don&#8217;t even know your company exists.</p>
<h3>Quick Headline Writing Checklist&#8230;</h3>
<p>There&#8217;s more than one way to write a headline. You could literally spend weeks (and some people do) writing a single headline. But sometimes you need a decent headline fast&#8230; that&#8217;s when you pull out your handy checklist and spice things up&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>#1 &#8211; <u>&#8220;How To&#8221; Headlines</u></li>
<li>#2 &#8211; <u>&#8220;Controversy&#8221; Headlines</u></li>
<li>#3 &#8211; <u>&#8220;List&#8221; Headlines</u></li>
<li>#4 &#8211; <u>&#8220;Theme&#8221; Headlines</u></li>
<li>#5 &#8211; <u>&#8220;News&#8221; Headlines</u></li>
</ul>
<p>You&#8217;re only limited by your imagination&#8230;</p>
<h3>Jason Better Brownie Points&#8230;</h3>
<p>Here&#8217;s a challenge, find a weird headline and post it in a comment below.</p>
<p>Maybe you picked up the local paper today and read a doozy like &#8220;Boy Eats Own Head&#8221;, &#8220;Frog From Hell That Ate Baby Dinosaurs&#8221;, or &#8220;Man Kills Wife With Chainsaw&#8221;.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, I have a collection of those. </p>
<p>Have a little fun&#8230;</p>
<p>To headline writing success,</p>

<p>Well, most sites are moving at &#8220;turtle speed&#8221; instead.<br />
<span id="more-4039"></span><br />
When you visit these websites it takes them 20-30 seconds to load. You get bored, you get frustrated, you see something shiny and click away. And <u>your</u> readers are doing the same every time they visit your sites too.</p>
<p><strong>What does this have to do with SEO?</strong></p>
<p>You see, the longer it takes your visitors to your site in the first place, the less visitors you get. Which means, less pages views, clicks and time spent on your site. Which essentially means you&#8217;re <u>losing</u> half of your web traffic by making it <u>hard</u> for your readers to see your content.</p>
<p><strong>Back in the &#8220;old days&#8221; of the Interweeble&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Now, this used to be a huge problem in the &#8220;old days&#8221; of Internet marketing. Because back then the most important thing you could do to improve your site was to speed up your load times.</p>
<p>But today we&#8217;ve grown so accustomed to fast computers, quick loading web pages and high-speed Internet. It&#8217;s easy to forget that half the world does <u>not</u> have high-speed internet or a modern computer to &#8220;surf it&#8221;. </p>
<p>The truth is, a lot of people are using the 2010 equivalent of Commodore 64s (an old type of computer). And a lot of people are stuck with substandard Internet access. Some people are using WiFi connections in bookstores, restaurants, or Internet Cafes. Others are quite literally <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=betR3vejzg4">&#8220;surfing the interweb&#8221; with a rusty coat-hanger and a can of Pringles.</a> I kid you not&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>The point is&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Make your website load faster and you&#8217;re automatically going to increase the amount of traffic you&#8217;re getting. Or at the very least, the amount of traffic that stays on your site more than a nanosecond. </p>
<p><strong>How can you fix this problem?</strong></p>
<p><strong>#1 Visit your website from somebody else&#8217;s computer.</strong> Or take that old rusty computer from your basement, put on rubber gloves and plug it in. Assuming it can actually connect to the Internet through black magic or a modem, you&#8217;re all set.</p>
<p><strong>#2 &#8220;How fast is you web page loading?&#8221;</strong> If your site taking more than 20-30 seconds then your website basically doesn&#8217;t exist. Nobody will stick around that long without clicking the &#8220;back&#8221; button. You need to fix this problem pronto.</p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s a quick checklist&#8230;</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Resize your pictures &#8211; big pictures take time to load.</li>
<li>Remove Google Ads from you site &#8211; ads take time to load.</li>
<li>Use lower quality video &#8211; videos take time to load.</li>
<li>Try a different template &#8211; some templates take forever to load.</li>
<li>Remove the whizbang widgets &#8211; some widgets take ages to load.</li>
<li>And anything else that might be slowing you down&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>Basically, log in to your website and rip out everything that could be slowing your site down or get somebody who knows how (the Pizza Boy) to do that for you.</p>
<p>Because this is serious stuff. If your site isn&#8217;t loading properly, forget about leads or making money online, nobody will even read your content in the first place.</p>
<p><strong>But, hit the warp speed and you&#8217;re ready to roll&#8230; or errrm&#8230; fly, I guess?</strong></p>
<p>There&#8217;s actually a few plugins that help with this too, but I haven&#8217;t reviewed them yet, so I didn&#8217;t want to recommend them myself.</p>
<p>Maybe, you&#8217;re using one right now? By all means, share your recommendations below.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure that would really help some people out.</p>
<p>See you soon,</p>

<span id="more-4013"></span><br />
<strong>Your inbox is <u>flooded</u> with leads!</strong></p>
<p>You can&#8217;t even see the bottom of it. It would literally take you hours to read everybody&#8217;s messages, nevermind responding to them.</p>
<p>Wow, wouldn&#8217;t you be blown away? Most people would be.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s a reality for some leaders&#8230;</p>
<p>The upper 1% of our industry.</p>
<p>Honestly, you could be terrible at everything you do. As long as your leads keep rolling in: You&#8217;ll make buckets of clams, you&#8217;ll be rolling dough and you&#8217;ll be raking in the big green. </p>
<p>Seriously, you could literally mess up <u>everything</u> else&#8230;</p>
<p>You could be the world&#8217;s worst copywriter, you could be a total jerk, you could even be a convicted criminal, and <u>some</u> people would still do business with you as long as you have your magical endless bucket of leads.</p>
<p>I hate to even say that, because it&#8217;s obviously easier to get leads if you&#8217;re a decent person, but the sad truth is, in our industry, leads are big money&#8230;</p>
<p>And you already know, some people will sell their soul to the devil for a gigantic stack of Benjamins, C-notes, Greenbacks, or Smackeroos.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s my point?</p>
<p>The point is, leads are the life of almost any business and they&#8217;re easily converted into Dead Presidents, Bones, or Macaroni. </p>
<p>Which means, leads are worth their weight in gold &#8211; literally.</p>
<p>Fact is, there&#8217;s no more valuable possession on earth than a hungry list of leads willing to buy what you&#8217;re selling. And today, while I was strolling around the Better Networker forums I stumbled onto <a href="http://www.betternetworker.com/forums/main-mlm-discussion-f2/what-is-your-best-lead-generation-tip-t59.html">the mother lode of lead generation tips&#8230;</a></p>

<p><strong>But that seems to be what people are saying about Tiger Woods lately&#8230;</strong><br />
<span id="more-3931"></span><br />
I&#8217;m not taking sides, but I did come across an interesting quote of his last night I wanted to share with you. Strangely enough, it was about feeling &#8220;entitled&#8221; to things&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. <br/>I was wrong and foolish.&#8221; &#8212; Tiger Woods</strong></p>
<p>Now, it&#8217;s only human nature to think about yourself, want what other people have, and want something for nothing. These are all traits that help you survive. But sometimes, we all act a little like Tiger Woods and take it way too far&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>The Hunter Eats The Baby Starves&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>In some tribes, for instance, it&#8217;s common for the hunter to eat while the mother and child go hungry. It&#8217;s understood that the hunter is <u>entitled</u> to certain privileges that the mother and child are not. Because when the hunter starves&#8230; they all do.</p>
<p><strong>With that said, we&#8217;re living in 2010&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>People feel entitled to the Internet, Electricity, and Automobiles. They feel entitled to benefits that go above and beyond the value they bring to the table. They feel that the world owes them a living. <em>Almost like they have a divine right to live like spoiled brats&#8230;</em></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Don&#8217;t feel entitled to anything you didn&#8217;t sweat and struggle for.&#8221;</strong><br />
<em>&#8211;Marian Wright Edelman </em></p>
<p>The day you start your first business, your eyes open wide. You finally know how hard it is to run a business. You&#8217;re amazed when somebody is is able to employ anybody at all. You&#8217;re shocked by how ungrateful many of these people are for their jobs. You start to see both sides of the picture&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Nobody owes anybody a living, but everybody is entitled to a chance.&#8221;</strong><br />
<em>&#8211;Jack Dempsey </em></p>
<p>You are not entitled to Internet, Electricity, Cable, and Widgets. These are miracles of modern society. But there are some things you are entitled to. There are certain human rights, that most of us agree are set in stone&#8230;</p>
<p>Like Dempsey said: &#8220;everybody is entitled to a chance.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>And that&#8217;s why I love Network Marketing</strong></p>
<p>In our industry, you can get started with telephone, a piece of paper, and a pencil. You might be wealthy or broke, clever or dull, male or female. It really doesn&#8217;t matter.</p>
<p><strong>Because nobody is <u>entitled</u> to success in Network Marketing.</strong></p>
<p>Success is something you earn. And in our industry, more than any other, there are no excuses. You are entirely responsible for your success.</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t that beautiful?</p>
<p>To your success,</p>

So much so, that I almost feel guilty nominating him for our first official Jason Better guest post.</p>
<p>But I couldn&#8217;t toss his submission out, it&#8217;s just too good, and I thought you would really like to read it too.<br />
<span id="more-3878"></span><br />
<strong>So let&#8217;s give Derek a round of much deserved applause&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>With that said, I don&#8217;t want to leave his wonderful partner <a href="http://www.betternetworker.com/videos/view/personal-development/leadership/lead-the-life-you-love">Monique Alvarez</a>, out of the picture either. <em>She&#8217;s clearly the power behind the throne here, and she&#8217;ll beat Derek up, If I don&#8217;t mention her. Kidding.</em></p>
<p>Now, she&#8217;s been posting quality video and audio training on <a href="http://www.betternetworker.com/">Better Networker</a> for quite some time. And I feel a little guilty to say this, but I&#8217;ve been so busy, I haven&#8217;t had time to watch or listen to it all. But what I have gone through totally rocks&#8230;</p>
<p>For this reason, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll be hearing more about her in the months ahead. They&#8217;re over at <a href="http://drivetheline.com/tag/derek-alvarez/">www.drivetheline.com</a>. And it&#8217;s probably the coolest blog I&#8217;ve seen in a long, long time. You should go visit them after you read this gem of a submission&#8230;</p>

<i>A Jason Better Guest Post By Derek Alvarez&#8230;</i></p>
<h1>Attraction Marketing Works In &#8220;The Real World&#8221; Too</h1>
<p><img src="http://www.jasonbetter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/image8-150x150.jpg" alt="image8" title="image8" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3879" /><strong>Blanco Tacos + Tequila + Marketing = Derek le gusta mucho!</strong></p>
<p>What the heck am I talking about?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m talking about one of Monique and my favorite restaurants, Blanco Taco + Tequila, here in Tucson, Arizona.</p>
<p>(Funny name, I know &#8212; but it has some good food, great ambiance, and awesome service.) </p>
<p>Plus, they know how to market themselves, which is really what this post is all about.<br />
What, you thought I was going to talk about the Chicken Molé?</p>
<p>You see, there are a lot of restaurants in the Tucson area that Monique and I love &#8212; but this guy Sam Fox, who owns Blanco Taco, along with several other restaurants throughout the Southwest &#8212; keeps finding a way to get us coming back to his restaurants.</p>
<p>How does he do this?<br />
<u><strong><br />
MARKETING!</strong></u></p>
<p>When you get a bill from a Sam Fox restaurant, it has a little piece of paper that says something like, &#8220;Join our V.I.P. Club.&#8221; Then it asks for your name, email address, and birthday. Genius, really.</p>
<p>Why? Because he&#8217;s getting permission to follow up with his customers through emails.</p>
<p>Every holiday, every special occasion, every chance he gets &#8212; Sam Fox sends an email to his list telling us about his latest offer.</p>
<p>This past Valentine&#8217;s Day, it was dinner for 2 for $35:</p>
<ul>
<li>2 drinks</li>
<li>an appetizer</li>
<li>2 entrées</li>
<li>and dessert</li>
</ul>
<p>Wow, what a swell guy, that Sam Fox! I can take Monique out to a nice restaurant, get a nice meal, and not break the bank.</p>
<p>And he made sure to tell me about this a couple of weeks beforehand, so I could make some plans and get a reservation.</p>
<p>He made my &#8220;what to do for Valentine&#8217;s Day&#8221; decision an easy one by making me an offer I couldn&#8217;t refuse.</p>
<p>None of our other favorite restaurants did this and that&#8217;s how I end up at Sam&#8217;s place instead of theirs.</p>
<p>Everything he does sets him apart &#8212; from his restaurant&#8217;s food, atmosphere, and service &#8212; to his special offers and the way he lets his customers know about them.</p>
<p>And he even gets his loyal customers to help him spread the word, like I&#8217;m doing in this blog post <img src='http://www.jasonbetter.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<strong><br />
So my question is, What are you doing to set yourself apart from the pack of Network Marketers out there? Let me know in the comments below and make sure to &#8220;Retweet&#8221; or &#8220;Facebook Share&#8221; this post if you like tacos and tequila as much as I do.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Before you comment,</strong> I wanted to thank everybody who submitted an article/blog post for the first official guest post on the Jason Better blog. I was blown away by how talented you are, and it&#8217;s really a shame that we can&#8217;t do this every day. </p>
<p>Thank you,</p>

<p><strong>The Association Of Better Networkers is now open <br/>for new members!</strong><br />
<span id="more-3864"></span><br />
Plus, there&#8217;s going to be loads of exciting changes. So please read every word of this announcement carefully, because it directly benefits you as valued member of this community. <img src='http://www.jasonbetter.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>By Tuesday, only members of the Association of Better Networkers (ABN) will be able to upload articles, videos, and other content to BetterNetworker.com. Because there will be less competition from &#8220;spammers&#8221; and &#8220;posers&#8221; your content will get more exposure than ever before.</p>
<p>This also means there&#8217;s going be a lot less spam around these parts.</p>
<p>Non members will still be able to participate in the forums, and read content posted by community leaders like you, but they will not have access to the training provided by instructors.</p>
<h3>These changes are going to make it a lot easier for you to<br/> stand out as a respected leader&#8230;</h3>
<p>No longer will you be competing with the hundreds of posts automatically uploaded by &#8220;spammers&#8221;, and &#8220;posers&#8221; who just don&#8217;t understand what this community is about&#8230;</p>
<p>Those people will be banned by our dear friend &#8220;Carl The Cop&#8221;.</p>
<p>This also guarantees that respectable leaders like you will continue to get the free web traffic and exposure that has been a hallmark of Better Networker since day one.</p>
<p>But here&#8217;s what really excites me&#8230;</p>
<p>When you join the Association Of Better Networkers&#8230;</p>
<h3>You&#8217;ll also get access to the ABN Training Vault!</h3>
<p>We call it the &#8220;Fort Knox&#8221; of home based business training because it&#8217;s a huge resource for the up and coming leaders in our community.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s updated every single month&#8230;</p>
<p>Each month, a leader in our industry who exemplifies the traits upheld by the ABN, and who makes at least $10,000/Mo from their business, will be featured in an exclusive training session for ABN Members.</p>
<p>You won&#8217;t find this content anywhere else&#8230;</p>
<p>Of course, there&#8217;s a lot more perks I don&#8217;t have space to get into here. When you click that link below you can get all of the details to make your informed decision today&#8230;</p>

That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve been holding out on you.</strong></p>
<p>Because the truth is, it&#8217;s not easy, it&#8217;s not fast, and it&#8217;s downright terrifying.<br />
<span id="more-3842"></span><br />
<strong>But if you <u>really</u> want to know what it takes, <br/>ask the Spartans.</strong></p>
<p>The Spartan&#8217;s didn&#8217;t make <u>excuses</u> when they faced Xerxes and the Persians at Thermopylae. There were 300 Spartans and scholars are still arguing about how many Persians. I&#8217;ve seen numbers cited online as high as the millions. The number is not important.</p>
<h3>The point is, 300 men decided to &#8220;Do it or die&#8221;</h3>
<p>They made up their minds and stood their ground while other Greeks retreated. They died but their last stand thwarted the advance of the massive Persian army. Possibly saving the whole mainland of Greece. <em>Xerxes, was terrified of being caught on the mainland. </em></p>
<p>But what are <u>you</u> willing to give up for your goals, your ideals?</p>
<p>An hour, a week, a year?</p>
<p>Your right arm? Your left? Your life?</p>
<h3>Would you let a fox eat your guts?</h3>
<p>When I was a boy I read a story about a Spartan teenager. He stole a fox and, rather than admitting that he stole the fox, let the fox chew out his belly under his toga while he was being questioned. That was the Spartan way. He died.</p>
<p>Maybe, this is a little extreme, but if you really want to be remembered in 30 years, you&#8217;re going to have to develop that hard boiled attitude&#8230; </p>
<p>At some point you&#8217;re going to have to throw away your excuses and &#8220;Do it or die.&#8221;</p>
<h3>The Spartans were a military state&#8230;</h3>
<p><strong>They sacrificed their own children for their ideals,</strong> bathing them in wine shortly after they were born to see if they were strong, leaving the weak on a mount Taygetos to die.</p>
<p>The survivors in their teenage years would be sent out into the countryside to survive with their brains and a knife.</p>
<p>Forget food, they had to kill or steal it&#8230;</p>
<p>They did it or they died&#8230;</p>
<h3>Don&#8217;t forget the women&#8230;</h3>
<p>Spartan women were some of the first women to have power in society. They were educated and athletic. They governed in the absence of their husbands. And when their husbands left for war, they would present them with shield saying: &#8220;With this, or on this.&#8221;</p>
<p><em><strong>Meaning, &#8220;If you don&#8217;t come back a victorious, you loser, you better be dead!&#8221;</strong></em></p>
<p>Okay, I took some liberty with that last translation&#8230;</p>
<p><u>But It Makes Network Marketing sound like a walk in the park doesn&#8217;t it?</u></p>
<p>Nevertheless, until you&#8217;re ready to make some sacrifices for you goals you will never succeed in Network Marketing or any other endeavor.</p>
<p>Until you&#8217;re ready to burn all your bridges, lock all the doors behind you, and risk everything you own in this world&#8230; you will never make a major breakthrough.</p>
<p><strong>Success is about breaking out of your comfort zone&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>In a lot of cases it&#8217;s about taking risks.</p>
<p>Investing in that expensive course.</p>
<p>Picking up that phone every day.<br />
<strong><br />
Whatever it takes.</strong></p>
