Setting up MySpace Campaigns, Part 2

February 27, 2008 - 7:00 am

Introduction

I have been discussing branding yourself as it relates to campaigns on MySpace and other social networks, and in the first article I discussed setting up your MySpace profile to tell your story and to intrigue the reader to the point where they want to know more about you. The desired outcome is that they eventually, if not immediately, click through to your website. In this article I will discuss setting up a site that will further your objectives in building an intelligent relationship with them, which is, after all the most important outcome of the approach I am describing.

Your Website

One of the most important things to consider in setting up your site is this: you must have your own domain, and it must be either your name or a part of your name that is uniquely recognizable. In this day and age, it is so inexpensive to buy a domain that there really is no excuse not to own YourName.com or the like. The important part about this is that it sets you apart as someone who is serious about online business and is committed as well as established. The benefits of having a site hosted privately with your own domain are actually numerous; it allows you complete control over your content and in most cases gives you valuable tools for analyzing your traffic. My site at www.BradParent.com is hosted with a company called 1&1 Internet, who have given me ease of use for a very reasonable price. I have bought and hosted several domains with them and now have a Business Package which gives me all of the web space I will ever need and lots and lots of other cool features. You can find them at http://www.1and1.com .

The content of your home page should not refer to your primary business, but should be a discussion of your objectives and/or values, telling your story in a little more depth than your MySpace profile. This is more or less a good place to discuss your business philosophy or some other ideas that make you stand out from the crowd. I suppose the real thing I'm driving at here is that this is a good place to really show the things you have a passion for, without directly naming or advertising your business. It's a good idea to refer to your business indirectly, however, and provide a link or some other way for people to find out exactly what that is. That way you haven't hit them over the head with it, but you've gotten them interested in what you're all about and what is working for you. Don't be afraid to brag about your successes a little, people want to associate with those who are experiencing success.

It's also a good idea to incorporate a lead capture page into your site with a set of, dare I say it, autoresponder letters for follow up. This should be along the lines of having someone be able to subscribe to your newsletter, where they can get valuable information. If you don't have or don't care for autoresponders, I really wouldn't blame you, but providing a little contact form so you can capture information and follow up with them personally is really an even better idea. Autoresponders can work well to warm up people who are half interested, but only if you have some really carefully written letters. It's really not worth it to try to use just any old advertising copy for your letters, because people are so familiar with this approach that they won't pay any attention to them. Rather, write your own letters, and make sure you write them as though you are talking directly to your reader. You can certainly discuss features and benefits of what you have to offer, after all, that is the point, but don't make it sound like a canned "sales pitch" with a lot of repetition. It's more important to look at your letters as a way of contributing something of value to their life, in other words, you are empowering them to take action with communication based on THEIR needs and not your own. I prefer to have my capture form on a separate page with a little discussion of what they will get, and to have a kind of unobtrusive suggestion referring to that and linking to it on my home page.

Probably the next best thing you can do for your site beyond all of this is to provide as many other pages with relevant content that you can or resources that will attract people to do business with you; training and information resources primarily. One reason is that search engine optimization depends a great deal on relevance and what is known as keyword weight, in other words how well your keywords relate to the topic of your content. Not only that, but everybody loves to run across information that's going to help them upgrade what they are doing on the web, especially content that will give them Skills they don't already have or insider information that they haven't seen before. One of the best examples I've run across of this is some intelligent videos on someone's site teaching MySpace search techniques. A simple how-to video made with a tool like Camtasia can really go a long way towards showing someone what you know and can teach. As one of my mentors always says, "True residual income on the Internet depends not on how many people you can recruit, but how many people you can train."

These are just a few suggestions to get you thinking about how you could build YouName.com to draw visitors even further into a relationship with you without advertising to them. People like to do things of their own volition, and are attracted to those who have something they are interested in. So if you take the approach I am suggesting, you will begin to pique the interest of like-minded individuals, who will be more likely to want to do business with you because you aren't pushing something on them. People do business for one of two reasons, either you have a solution for a problem they have (pain), or bacause they like you and enjoy doing business with you (pleasure). Their desire to do business with you is relative to the intensity of either of these two emotions, and to capture them on both fronts is the most desirable thing, so you want to do what you can to keep these emotions in mind when you create the content of your site.

Setting up MySpace Campaigns, Part 1

February 09, 2008 - 2:22 am

Introduction

�

�� I have been running into some interesting concepts regarding branding yourself when setting up campaigns on MySpace and similar networks. I have decided to share what I have learned in the hopes that it will help those struggling with Web 2.0 protocols and methodologies.

�

Initial Setup

�

�� Suggestions and tips on setting up MySpace profiles abound, and the variety to be found there attests to the unlimited nature of what you can do when you engage the creative process. However, one of the most common pitfalls I find out there is the urge to showcase your primary business on your profile, as opposed to showcasing yourself. I find that the profiles I feel most comfortable with and attracted to are those where the "Primary Business" is nowhere to be found, but instead you will find a detailed description of the person's background and attitudes. This is what you want to work towards. Create that sense of comfort by telling your story, and leave the name of your business out of the picture as much as possible. Once people are attracted to you, there will be plenty of time to introduce them to your business, but in the model I am proposing, it has no place in the first impression, or at least takes a back seat to who you really are.

�

�� To these ends, you want to lead with a bio of yourself, describing your background and putting your best foot forward, but MOST IMPORTANTLY you want to tell people a story of the frustrations and the problems you have encountered in your life's journey, and how you have overcome them. Many people can relate to struggle and frustration; we all have it. But they also want to be talking to someone who has come out on top. You don't necessarily want to tell them of your solutions just yet, but rather just that you have found them. This story needs to be heartwarming to some degree, and starting from this angle gives the visitor a little bit of curiosity and tension which they will want to resolve. The place you will resolve this will be in your interaction with the now curious visitor, either through your website of in personal communications. But you want them to be curious what has worked for you in solving a problem they can relate to.

�

�� Next, before they leave your page, you want to tell them who you want to meet, and also who you don't want to meet. This will qualify your visitors to some degree and save you some of the aggravation of dealing with the type of person you're not interested in doing business with.

�

�� A nice-looking professional picture of yourself, and your contact information are also essential, put the link to your site underneath your story, so they will be drawn to it to find out more.

�

�� There are many different opinions and many different things you can do to jazz your profile up and make it look attractive, and that's great too. But ATTRACTIVE is the key word here, and not scary. You want to make it appealing to the type of people you want to attract, so think about your target market first and figure out what THEY like. Try to stay away form the kinds of things they don't like. I find flashing banners distracting, for example, and I won't stay long on a page that has them. Music can be nice as well, but it might qualify people a little more than you want to, people's musical preferences vary widely and are generally somewhat exclusive. Be very selctive as to the type of people you accept as friends as well, for the purposes to this type of profile. You want to only accept the type of people you are looking for, and not the ones who would turn those people off, so be very careful about this.

�

�� I hope these suggestions will prove helpful to you. My next post will be about your website and its part in this type of campaign, and then I'll delve a little more into personal interactions and some of the "psychological chess" that goes on in them.

�

Comment to Diane Hochman on ProsperityCast.TV

January 19, 2008 - 3:25 am

At 6:29am on January 18th, 2008, Brad Parent said� I figured it was Val who invited you here, I think he's probably pretty impressed with what you're doing. I'm getting an education watching your videos. I am a relative newcomer to the Web 2.0 ideas and I am beginning to find that there are layers of protocol and etiquette that can make you or break you. We need more people like you who can help us to clarify and define where our boundaries lie in this highly sensitive and responsive environment. The thing I notice is that people are truly wearing their hearts on their sleeve, and that was unheard of in the old email driven environment. You can't go about like a bull in a china closet any more. Develop this line of thinking and I'm quite sure you will find the psychological basis for the Web 2.0 phenomenon. Leverage the power of this insight and combine it with the power of the following you have already developed, and you will touch many lives and lead many of your friends to great success. I don't have the charisma that you have going for you, but I would love to see you delve deeper into this subject matter and bring it to the masses. I believe you must have a great intuitive grasp of it, or you would not be where you are.

Another Free Lead Resource

January 04, 2008 - 10:37 pm

I thought I'd give those of you who have actually been subscribing and reading my blog a little break from my Prosperity Cast Network ads and talk about something a little different. I have been communicating with Elizabeth Adams, who is planning to come in to the Prosperity Cast Network, and she is doing it by working a program that meshes well with ours but costs a good bit less. Although it doesn't provide the Black Belt type of marketing training that Val Smyth does, it does show you how to generate 200-300 free leads for your business every week, and that in itself is valuable. I thouroughly recommend the Veretekk system for generating high-quality entrepreneurial prospects, however I will admit that it takes some time to get your Veretekk system to the point where it is generating that many. So Elizabeth's method is really a good way to get going in the beginning. Check out her website at http://how2getprospects4free.com ; if you decide to take the tour put my name (Brad Parent) in the "Comment" box so she will know I sent you.

No Limit with The Prosperity Cast Network

December 29, 2007 - 11:34 pm

The home based business industry will never be the same. Legitimate online income is now becoming a reality for many who have been searching for a company that truly rewards them for what their efforts are worth. Val Smyth's Prosperity Cast Network is now giving experienced marketers a way to really make their efforts pay off, while at the same time giving those less experienced the valuable training they need to avoid years of costly trial and error. After launching in November of 2007, the Prosperity Cast Network quickly cemented its place in the online market by creating its own online social network, ProsperityCast.TV. The new social network quickly became a home for many veteran online and offline marketers, who quickly realized the value of sharing valuable information about the keys to their success. The social network is free to join but is by invitation only, which gives those involved in The Prosperity Cast Network's business opportunity the ability to give their prospects a taste of what that success entails before they actually decide to participate themselves. Brad Parent, CEO of B&L Services, an independent marketing company that has aligned itself with the Prosperity Cast Network, comments that "It's so exciting getting to work alongside such an amazing group of competent and brilliant innovators. People like Lou Riley, Jim Gras, Wes Wyatt, and Saundra Myer, as well as the GUTz Community that has such a following on YouTube, are an ispiration to me because of the impact they are making and the size of the online presence they are creating. There are many more stars in this constellation too numerous to name here, all people with talent and dedication to what has become a growing cause: to lead the home based business industry out of the dark ages and out of the clutches of the legion of online con artists. We intend to show people what the realities behind the myths are, and why so many have struggled fruitlessly for so long, and how they can change all of that for good."

Press Release by Lee M Parent, LCSW

November 25, 2007 - 1:48 am

The Prosperity Cast Network is here at last. Val Smyth's long awaited Prosperity Cast Network is here at last and not a moment too soon. Countless Internet marketers are falling victim to the predators on the web who lure them in with false promises of attaining instant wealth with no effort. Many of these people are being taken advantage of and fleeced of their hard earned money which, they are being led to believe, will buy their way in to a life of financial independence and ease. Wrong!! That's not to say that there are not good programs out there and reputable mentors. As a matter of fact, many of those mentors learned their stock and trade from �The Master Himself�, Mr. Val Smyth through his Mentors In Motion program. However, Internet marketing has evolved to a whole new level now that Val has rolled out his Martial Arts School of Marketing under the name of The Prosperity Cast Network that will feature live mentoring classes and state of the art Web 2.0 training. This program is designed to separate serious Internet marketers from wannabes. There is absolutely nothing like this on the Internet today. The big question is: Are you serious-minded enough to take full advantage of what this program has to offer. Certainly those of you who are simply curious will benefit from what Val has to offer, but only those who are serious will prosper. Do you qualify? Click here to find out more.

ProsperityCastNetwork.Biz open for business

November 22, 2007 - 12:45 am

The Prosperity Cast Network is now open for business and has immediately started to draw the attention of the International Marketing Community. Creator Val Smyth, founder of the wildly successful Mentors in Motion seminars has gone all out to create an unrivalled combination of Mentoring, Social Networking, and Income Generation, using a state of the art website that is a model for the industry. Brad Parent of B&L Services, an independent marketing company, has set up a portal for use in advertising ad marketing this venture at http://prosperitycastnetwork.biz/ . He reports that initial reaction to the site has been overwhelmingly posistive, and predicts that this venture will spread like wildfire on the Internet.

"Val had a program that sold his seminars several years
ago called Mentors in Motion. It was HUGE. A lot of those
people kind of dropped out of his group or got busy with
other things, and I mean lots and lots and lots of people
bought it. When they find out he is launching something else,
they will be searching for it, and I want to capture as much
of that traffic as I can, as well as anybody else who may be
searching for his material. Anybody who has listened to his
previous seminars would be a business partner to be reckoned
with becuase of the skill set Val teaches. But unlike a lot
of online "gurus", Val wants to know everyone on his team on
a personal level. We're all about independent thinking, and
having a Mastermind Group that takes full advantage of everyone's
diverse talents. It's kind of what I believe: you can't duplicate
what I do any more than I can duplicate what you do, but we can
both learn from each other and work together."

Prosperity Cast Network.Biz Site

November 16, 2007 - 12:32 am

Copy of a letter I sent: I have started a site at http://prosperitycastnetwork.biz to be a gateway to Val Smyth's Prosperity Cast Network site, which will be up and running in the next couple of days. I have been working like crazy generating backlinks and such to get it going. If you leave your email address, I will get back to you as soon as his site is up so you can check it out. Val had a program that sold his seminars several years ago called Mentors in Motion. It was HUGE. A lot of those people kind of dropped out of his group or got busy with other things, and I mean lots and lots and lots of people bought it. When they find out he is launching something else, they will be searching for it, and I want to capture as much of that traffic as I can, as well as anybody else who may be searching for his material. Anybody who has listened to his previous seminars would be a business partner to be reckoned with becuase of the skill set Val teaches.

It's kind of what I believe: you can't duplicate what I do any more than I can duplicate what you do, but we can both learn from each other and work together. Anyway, I am rambling, but I will let you know as soon as we get going.

Question from Wayne Harrold:

In my Walk-With-Me Blogs/articals #1 thru #12 all used the 6 key words suggested by the Team.. Where Can I be of help to propel these key words.. I have only sent my URL's to Google each time..

[11/7/2007 11:17:13 AM]

Wayne Harrold says: You Group article was great.. totally agree... How can we gel our recources..... each of us is good in a different field.. How can we take advantage of that?

[8:44:45 AM] Brad Parent says:

I would suggest this... This is something taught to me by Karen Weir. Get a Blogfather blog, then go to Feedburner.com and burn the feed from the Blogfather. This will help you track subscribers.

Then create a headline animator in Feedburner, get the code, and paste it into all of your sites, anywhere you can use html. Also use that same Blogfather feed in all of your Veretekk portals. That will link everything into that Blogfather feed, and you can just put your articles into that and it will update all your sites at the same time when you post a blog.

I would also keep putting them into Apsense, though. You can use html in Blogfather, so it's just an extra step to paste your blogs into there, and it will link everything you're doing.

If you're already doing all that, Maybe all of us that have those headline animators could exchange them and put them on each other's sites.

Social Networking for Fun and Profit

November 02, 2007 - 1:53 am

Brad's letter

Hi, it's Brad Parent with the Weekly Update.

If you haven't discovered social networks as a great source of

business-builder leads, you don't know what you're missing.

Many social networks are free to join, and it is easy to gain a lot

of new contacts who are in the business of building a business.

You will find that many of these people, although they may already

be involved in marketing something themselves, can become

powerful allies, and may themselves be looking for another stream

of income to add to their business portfolio. Here are some of the

hottest business communities I've found:

FriendsWin: Click Here

This is the fastest growing and most active network I know of, has a lot of

cool features, and will actually pay you for signing people up. It's very easy

to network here, the community is full of mature business builders as well as

people looking for friends.

Apsense: Click Here

This is a Huge community, it is free to join, and is primarily a business social

network. There are a lot of discussion groups, and you will find that if you post

to these discussion groups, your posts will show up very high in the search

engine listings. Apsense is spider food. You can also now sell advertising on

your Apsense business center, so you can make some money with it as well.

MySpace: Click Here

This is not just for kids - EVERYBODY is on MySpace, that means all kinds of people

from all walks of life. It has its share of nut cases, but you will probably find a lot of your

friends are already on there somewhere. It's like having a storefront on the busiest street

in town, and it's easy to prospect and add to your network, but maybe not as easy or as

selective as the ones above.

uVme: Click Here

This is a new concept that combines online gaming and social networking into

a lucrative business opportunity. This is one of the biggest phenomenons I've seen

on the Internet today. Everybody seems to be getting involved with this one, and since

it is free to join before the games go live (which will happen before Christmas), it's

easy to get started building a downline and be in a position to really do well when the

games begin.

These are just a few. I know you probably know of others, but I've found these

to be good for business, each in their own way. Maybe you will too.

Until next time,

Brad Parent

The Catbird Seat?

October 24, 2007 - 12:58 am

How's it going? Are you tearing up the pea patch? Are you sitting in

the catbird seat? (Huh? What in the heck is this guy talking about?)

I just remembered that from an old James Thurber story and it cracked

me up, so I thought I'd throw that in there. I just wanted to say hi and tell you

a little bit more about why I keep writing you these crazy letters.

It was about 2003 I think and I was still looking around the Internet for

some kind of way to make an extra income. I had tried to start a Yahoo!

store, but that never did really get off the ground because of difficulties

getting the credit card processing set up right. That's a whole story unto itself,

I'm sure. But what I wanted to say was that it was about this time that I ran across

Mentors in Motion, Val Smyth's seminar series, on the Internet. I had gone to a

website and put in my information, and a guy called me and invited me to

one of Val's telephone presentations. I really was impressed with Val's attitude

towards marketing and his success orientation in general. They were selling the

Mentors in Motion seminar package at that time for $499.00, and once you bought

it and referred 1 person, you got to resell it and make $400.00 per sale. There

appeared to be a huge market for his seminars, and I wanted to get involved, but

my wife never heard Val speak and I couldn't convince her to let me spend any time

or money on it. So I kind of forgot about it and went right on working for $10.00 an hour.

Fast forward to now. Val Smyth is now giving away this same seminar series for free

to people who join him in his latest marketing endeavor. Now it's about a product

explosion and a company so good that Val, and many others who had been reselling

his program and making a ton of money doing it, have decided to focus on as a flagship

opportunity. The Mentors in Motion Team, many of whom have been around and made real

money on the Internet for quite some time, are now banding together to teach people step by

step how to make money with this product using the Veretekk system. And in a few short

weeks, they have taught me things that years of trial and error on the Internet never taught

A little History...

October 07, 2007 - 1:15 am

Hi There! Hope your day is going well, or night, as the case may be.

Whatever is going on, I hope you'll take a moment to read this note.

I wanted to go into the whole history of my involvement with Internet

marketing, but that will take a while. Suffice it to say that things are

starting to come together for me now for the first time. The very fact that

I've reached you with this letter is more than I ever had to show for a lot

of my previous efforts online. But it's not from a lack of trying, I just never

seemed to get much in the way of results from many of the things I've tried.

For instance, back in 2001 or so, I used to try to market for a group called

the Mint Marketing Team, a team built around marketing several specific

profit centers. At that time, the only way I could get any signups at all was

through massive spamming, although I abided by the letter of the law in providing

remove links and so forth in my emails. I would get about 2000 email addresses

per day from a site called Free FFAs, and send out mass emails using a desktop

application (the free version) called WorldCast. I actually did get a few signups

from this, maybe 1 for every 10,000 or so I sent out. But I always felt a little

uncomfortable with doing it this way.

The Mint Marketing Team was advocating the use of a system called Veretekk,

which I could never understand. I mean that I never really understood how to

use the system, which was a system of portals tied to autoresponders that was

designed to bring you premium business opportunity leads. Veretekk prided itself

on not spamming, but instead having emails that were manually verified by the recipient.

But the Mint Marketing Team never really taught me how to make the system work for me,

and it was more complicated than what I had time to figure out on my own. In time I kind of

gave up on the whole thing for a while, frustrated that even though I was signing

people up for the team, I never seemed to make any money in the process.

Now here I am 6 years later using the Veretekk System for real and now I understand

a little better how it's designed to work. I still don't know everything there is to know

about it, but I've been taught the basics, and what I've been taught is working. How

exactly that came to pass is a story I'll save for my next letter. If you just can't wait that

long, you can definitely call me at 985-351-4588 and I'll tell you, as Paul Harvey says,

"The rest.... of the story."

Take care,

Brad Parent

A little bit about the author

October 06, 2007 - 8:08 am

�

I just wanted to drop you a quick note so that you and I

can become better acquainted. My name is Brad Parent,

and I have been interested in marketing on the internet

for years, but up until now I had never found the right

combination of factors that would allow me to call it more

than just an expensive hobby.

�

I am 43 years young and live with my wife of 20 years, Liz,

and our two Persian cats, Butterball and Teacup, in a small

condo in the town where I went to college back in the eighties.

Hammond, LA is about 50 minutes north across Lake Maurepas

from New Orleans, which is where I grew up and went to school

until I was in 5th grade.�

�

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music, but have not worked very

much as a musician, except to do some home recording, and I

have been in several of what you might call garage bands over

the years. I have maintained a website as a repository for my

recordings at http://implosionmusiconline.com , but until recently

did not get any traffic besides friends and family. Liz makes cloth

art dolls and sells them on eBay, she does really well with them but

does not make a whole lot of money at it. I have built a website for

her at http://honeysucklehousecreations.com in�case you are a

collector and would like to see them.

�

So that's a brief introdution to my wife and myself. If you want to know

more, just click on the iKarma seal below this letter, and you can see

my full bio and what some of my teammates are saying about me. I also

have a website for my business at http://bradparent.com , another

homemade site, and a proper Business Center at

http://bradparent.apsense.com .

�

"What does any of this have to do with me?" you might ask.

Well, I'll have to admit it's still kind of a one-way conversation at this

point, so I can't be sure how you might best be served, however, I would

like to offer my services. I'll write more in a couple of days and tell you a

little bit more about what I am doing online and what might be gained

by building a business relationship. There are a lot of different aspects to this

Internet thing, but the main advantage is that it can put you in touch with a

lot of people you wouldn't otherwise meet, and that can be a good thing for

a business.

Podcast: Mentors in Motion Team Training 9-18-07 - Features of Veretekk

September 19, 2007 - 12:34 am

Mentors in Motion Team Training with the master, Jim Gras. The Veretekk Marketing System has been on the Internet for over 12 years and has continuously grown during that time. It has dozens of features that give any marketer an "unfair advantage" in building whatever business they choose, as it is a completely generic system that can be used to market any product or service effectively. Each feature is a powerful stand-alone application designed to work together as a whole to bring about massive results from as little effort as possible. Many of these applications can be sold for a profit by even free Silver Members, and indeed, some people's main source of income is from reselling Veretekk and its services, such as the Vereconference rooms that can be used for any business meeting. In this podcast, Jim takes us through many of the features of the system, one by one explaining their advantages and value to any business owner. And most of these valuable services are FREE! This post originates from a free blog from one of the free Veretekk portals, Blogfather.net .

What is a podcast?

September 18, 2007 - 12:52 am

I found a good explanation of what a podcast is on one of the Morpheus sites, and I'll quote here: "What is a Podcast? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A podcast is usually an audio or video file made available for you to listen to anytime, anywhere. Podcasting is the radio of the future and Morpheus is the place to find everything you need to get up and running. With just a few clicks you can get your music to a global audience of millions of music fans. With podcasting anyone can be a DJ, talk show host, producer, commentator and more. Unlike traditional radio, Podcasts are on demand - download them and play them in your favorite MP3 player whenever and wherever you want. And unlike regular file downloads, once you subscribe to a podcast content is pushed (rather than pulled) to you automatically whenever new files or episodes are made available for a particular podcast. Bands can podcast their latest and greatest performances. Record Labels can podcast the performances of their bands. Comedians can podcast their latest set. Start a talk radio show to sound off about politics, sports or entertainment. You've already been hearing the buzz about podcasting; it's a kind of mix of RSS technology, pirate radio sensibilities, and MP3 player portability. Morpheus has even included support for podcasting in its current version. " I'm currently experimenting with podcasting as a marketing tool, for more info see my podcast feed at the link above.

New Podcast

September 17, 2007 - 2:49 am

My father, Lee M. Parent, LCSW, and I have just released a new podcast! In it we discuss the socio-economic effects of Katrina two years after the disaster, as well as the nature of Crisis, and positive responses to crisis. We also go into some detail about our business as part of the Mentors in Motion Xooma Marketing team, and our flagship product, Xooma Worldwide's Xtreme X2O, and its health benefits. X2O is the ultimate vitamin water, a healthy alternative to sodas and today's latest craze, energy drinks, and it also is a potentailly lucrative business with very low startup costs.

Transparency

September 15, 2007 - 9:10 am

These are some things that being a part of the Mentors in Motion team has brought me to realize, please forgive me if it sounds trite or preachy, but I'm beginning to see how true these things are: If we have anything to share at all, we must first be open about who we are so others may percieve what it is we might have to share. Those who miss this vital element in building a business relationship have really built no relationship at all, and so the ties wither and fade as time brings new priorities into the mix. To be of use to our customers and our company, we must show all of our cards, not just the ones we think they might want to see. The internet can be as personal or as impersonal as we like, and it is the impersonal aspects that rob us of the value we expect when we put our time into one-way relationships. I for one, sometimes worry that my openness with the group I'm with will lead others to see me as a prima donna type, however, I've spent more than enough time in the past hiding behind impersonal marketing methods, and it hasn't worked. I think this is what Val Smyth means when he talks about people who expect to join a program and make money doing nothing, making no contribution. We all work very hard on our businesses, but we must at times pause and ask ourselves if the relationships that we have built are being well served by our actions. If the answer is yes, then we can be sure that we have something that will stand the test of time.

Teamwork

September 15, 2007 - 8:55 am

Our Mentors in Motion Xooma Marketing Tea, has been exploring using certain specific keywords in our RSS feeds in order to aid in our SEO efforts. If we all use the same keywords in our blogs, we can propel each others' sites to the top of the search engine rankings. We have previously placed our feeds in the websites we wanted to optimize and are busily creating content for our blogs that will attract more traffic to those sites, as they are more frequently updated, search engine spiders will crawl them more frequently. To quote Team Leader Karen Weir: This was a real team effort, and our work is not yet done. We still have some more research to do on our keyword phrases, and of course, testing will be ongoing. As we know, teamwork truly makes the dream work! The keywords we have selected for our flagship product Xooma x2o are: 1. Healthy energy drink 2. Vitamin water The keywords we need to do further research on are: Hydration pH Antioxidants Liquid vitamin was a popular choice as well. This is a tricky one since the audience it will attract is probably searching for a multi vitamin supplement. While we know that our x2o treated water is destined to become the "next" liquid vitamin, using this term may not bring the targeted traffic we are looking for... or will it? Who is our target market for this product? Health conscious individuals who may be surfing looking for a vitamin supplement may NOT be actively seeking our product, but they may well be interested in it. Our vitamin water is not a multi vitamin, but it is a mineral supplement and great source of coral calcium. Health conscious individuals are already aware of the importance of hydration, and increasing our intake of alkaline foods to offset the highly acidic diets. The understand the importance of providing the body with more alkaline to help our body maintain the appropriate pH balance. When choosing keywords, it is important to consider your target market. it is wise to start with a broad market, and continuously test, then narrow the target market down. Those health conscious individuals already understand the role of pH balance in the body, but there is another market of people who require education on the pH in the human body and how the body compensates for highly acidic diets. Next our research will focus on keywords descibing the business opportunity side of our product, a business that you too can join as a distributor, and make money from a home-based business built on a current, exploding trend.

Daily Email Marketing to Free Leads

September 13, 2007 - 2:33 am

We are so lucky to be part of a group that provides us with as many free leads to email as we can handle, especially when you look at the prices some people will pay for a list of leads. Making email marketing part of your daily routine is a simple way keep yourself working towards your goals on a daily basis. Networking is all about increasing the number of business contacts you have, and email marketing is a free and easy way to find new contacts, if you don't have them already. And it sure beats bugging your friends and family, which doesn't really make for a very reliable business base anyway. Set a goal for the number of emails you want to send each day, and set aside the time to do it. Just this small routine will not only help get you off on the right foot building your business, but it will give you a sense of accomplishment you can use on those days when nothing seems to be working for you. Contact me, Brad Parent, or any of the Mentors in Motion team leaders for help in getting set up to send your emails.

Hydration

August 28, 2007 - 1:06 am

Hydration is essential for the life of every cell in your body. The problem is, oftentimes the water and liquid that we consume is not thoroughly absorbed into the cells in the body, but is eliminated. Xooma's Xtreme X2O is a simple sachet that you can put in your water to transform it into water that is more readily absorbed at the cellular level, thus hydrating your cells more completely. Hydrated cells tend to age and die slower, thus X2O can actually help slow the aging process in your body. Most of us would like to live longer so we can get more out of life, and X2O can help you do that. At the same time, Xooma makes it possible for you to benefit financially from helping others to learn about this amazing product. Contact me at bradparent001@gmail.com for more information.

Freedom

August 27, 2007 - 10:01 am

If you really want to find true freedom from the daily grind of a deadend occupation or career, or even if you just want to make some money on the side, I can hook you up with experienced and successful mentors who will take the time to make sure you get where you want to go. You hear a lot of that sort of thing on the internet these days, everywhere you look. We want to put people back in the equation, that's what networking is all about. So take a look and see if what I have set up can help you; if not, we can be friends anyhow. I'll be writing more about networking and how it relates to today's marketplace, and some of internet's best places to find as many customers as you could possibly handle. MySpace is one of them, and if you know anyone on here that drinks water, I have just the thing, and you can too.

Learn the Art and Science of Internet Marketing and find out about a product that is taking advantage of one of the largest megatrends today at bradparent.com, and at Xooma Worldwide.

I have found some Fantastic people!

August 23, 2007 - 4:48 am

Man, have I found a fantastic group of people! The Mentors in Motion Xooma Team I have joined has opened up possibilities for me I never knew existed. I live in a relatively depressed area of the country, one where decent jobs are scarce and basic human dignity is hard to come by. These people have treated me like and important team member, taking the time to teach me how to expand my shere of influence using my most important resource, my own life and experience and talents. Suddenly people I haven't heard from in 23 years and more are contacting me, and the new ones I am meeting are becoming real allies. Do you want to do the same? It's all about relationships and being in contact with real people with a great variety of different and unique skills to contribute. Simple tools like my iKarma site at http://www.ikarma.com/user/bradparent become a powerful vehicle to help you multiply the value of relationships you make and to revive some old ones, too. I invite you to take this opportunity to do yourself a favor, and invest in your greatest asset: You.
