Have you noticed it is becoming more difficult to purchase more than the most common items in shops these days. The advent of large supermarket chains and department stores has changed the game forever.

Once small retail outlets and corner stores served the needs of the community. For larger, less consistent items, we visited a regional shopping centre, where we could purchases large items such as beds, furniture and electrical items. Read the rest of this article and discover a magical tool that finds the very best price for anything you wish to purchase in seconds!

Not Any More!

With the advent of the automobile came the super shopping centres and shopping malls. Now instead of walking to the local shop to get our fresh produce and groceries, we are prepared to travel long distances to regional shopping centres owned by large corporations where retailers are forced to charge high prices to pay for the exorbitant rents!

The next stage was for the big shops to work out what sold well and then discount them so the smaller retailers couldn’t compete on price.  This effectively erodes profit margins from smaller retailers, and in many cases made them unviable and they started closing in numbers.

What Happened after The Mega Shopping Centres Won?

Well, we still want to purchase a wide range of specialist items, even though they are not available in stores any more. We are getting sick of driving long distances to these regional shopping centers as well, only to  find that they don’t often stock our favourite brands. They have changed their shelf stock to products they make more money on, or switched to generic brands!

The Internet – The Small Retailers Friend

This is where the internet has emerged as the last stand of the small retailer!

We humans are very resourceful, and always find a way around the problem. After the demise of small retailers, they switched to the internet! New stores sprang up all over the place, but on line! Most on line stores offer specialist products, catering to their niche, or specific market. Now, when you want something other than a can of home brand baked beans, you can search on line and shop securely. Products are delivered to your door in a few days, and your problem is solved. Because overheads are very low, prices are normally much lower than in the shopping mall, and you can buy a much wider range of goods.

As these on line services develop, they will extend to more normal items, as the small retailer fights back! On line shopping is here to stay and it is a great shopping experience. Even with clothing you can key in your dimensions and get a virtual reality image of what you would look like in any outfit. No more spending time in retail change rooms! You can purchase any clothing you like, from any culture and any country and have it home delivered.

The Challenge Of On Line Shopping.

It didn’t take long to catch on to the idea of retailing on line. Now there are millions of small businesses offering specialty and more conventional goods on line. In fact there are so many that it is difficult to find the best price for a particular item! Again, where there is a problem, someone comes up with a solution.

The Shopping Genie

Recently a new and clever technology has arrived. This software peruses the internet and finds the cheapest prices for any item you search for. You save money on almost every purchase and save time trying to find the cheapest price. It can take hours using normal search engine to find the cheapest price on an item, and different sites offer different specials. The shopping genie does all the work for you in seconds.

If It Is This Good, What’s The Catch?

For you as a shopper, there really isn’t one. This tool is easy to use, free to install, and doesn’t push you towards specific outlets. It scans millions of sites, and it even finds stores close to your home with the item. You see, this works on clicks. Every time you click on the genie, the person who gave it to you makes a very small amount, usually one or two cents. This is paid for by advertisers who want to be seen on the genie.

I know the concept of video email is quite new. Certainly providing links to videos on emails is becoming common, and many marketers do that. So why not take the next step?

What You Can and Cannot Do.

First, right now, embedding a video in an email is not possible. One day it might happen, but right now email servers don’t have the necessary software for this. This means text links or graphics.

Research suggests that using a graphical representation of your video and then providing a direct link to the video email is the best way to achieve video emailing right now.

The Case For Video Emails.

In an article by Mark Brownlow, “Video email: current practices”, he discusses the research on video emailing. There are some interesting statistics.

Looking at this statistic, it is obvious that video is now acceptable to most internet viewers. “According to comScore, US Internet users viewed 14.8 billion online videos in January, with YouTube alone scoring over 100 million unique viewers in that same period”. Finally video has come of age, and we are all conditioned to use it.

Comparing emails with or without a video link, “When not linking to video his click through rate is between 20-27%…when linking to online video it’s consistently between 51-65%” Anna Yeaman. We know that a video link receives a much better open rate than a simple text message.

With an image in the email, views are 5-10 times as many!

Campaign Monitor reported that: “…the screen grab was clicked on more than 5 times as often as the text link.” Mark Brownlow says of his own email campaigns,
“In my own newsletters, a video image attracts between two and ten times the clicks that the accompanying text link gets”.

Do you get this? If you have a properly constructed image in your email, 5-10 times more people will click on the link and view your video. If you are in sales, information dissemination, advertising what would you p[ay to have 5-10 times more people view your message?

Direct Video Or Video With A Link.

When considering video email, there are three possibilities;

1. A text Link
2. A Video Thumbnail
3. The video plays within the email.

Video Text Link

We are all familiar with text links pointing to videos. These are common in emails now. The challenge is that the link is usually a bunch of numbers a meaningless symbols and not very sexy! The author puts a catchy headline in there to entice you to click. Now you get about double click through rates when you direct your emails to a video, so it is pretty good compared to sending them to a text blog entry for instance.

Video Thumbnail

This is an illustration of an attractive video email thumbnail. It was produced with Talk Fusion. When using a video thumbnail like this, the research suggests a 5-10 times better response than a standard text link! This is huge.

It is not intrusive, as you only see the video if you click on the link. We believe this is the best way to use video email right now, and the research backs us up. Compared to an email with a simple text link to a blog post, you are likely to see a 10-20 times greater open rate. This is phenomenal

Video Within The Email

There are programs around now that will send an email with a video in it. While this seems great, imagine receiving 20 emails and every time you click on one a video starts paying! I think this is intrusive, and many are likely to get angry at invasion of their personal space.

Because of this in your face aspect, I would suggest that the nest form of video email now and into the future will be the thumbnail version, where with the click of a mouse a high quality video plays seamlessly.

What Video Email Service Should You Use?

I think by now you can see why I am so excited by the concept of video email. It is exciting, new and I believe in the same space as TV was when it first appeared. Right now video emails are not that common. This means sending a message this way is very likely to get opened. As people become more familiar with the technology, expect even better response to video emails, and reduced openings of more traditional text links.

After I was Introduced to Video Email, I did my homework to see what was available.

ComF5

Formerly hello, hello, this has been around for a while. The cost is $39.95 for up to 5,000 email addresses and bandwidth is limited to 40Gb. There is no commission payable at this level and to earn residual income you need to pay $99.95 a month.

As you can see from the thumbnail provided, their video templates are fairly ordinary and in my opinon, unatractive.

Deliverability is fine. There is no mention of an autoresponder.

EyeJot

This is a FREE service if you want to send videos less than 1 minute long. You can upgrade to a 5 minute service for $99.95 a year with tracking. No referral commissions are payable, and there are no autoresponders.

Once again, the actual video template is afairly ordinary and not eye catching. Nevertheless, for a free service providing you onnly want to send short messages to people yo know, it would be OK.

There is no video conferencing, and the basic service can’t be loaded onto youtube, etc.

Jive Systems

At $99.95 a month this is a premium service. You can have up to 60 minute videos, although I am not sure why you would have one that long on an email! There is a free trial, but you have to enter credit card information to do it.

There is no compensation plan but they appear to have good training. For most people this may be a litle expensive, but it appears to be onre of the better services.

They suggest the $99.95 price point is for a limited time to increase urgency.

Talk Fusion

This is the Email video platform I am using. This incorporates a very easy to use interface, enabling video emails to be on their way in less than 5 minutes from the first mouse click. The templates are great as can be seen from the thimbnail and they will even design a professional template like this with the Executive package.

They have a very professional web site and autoresponders and video conferencing. One great feature is the ability to put your videos on your blog, and social media sites. The autoresponer includes a cubscription form you can place on any website. Subscribers are automatically sent a pre established video and or text email message series. This is very effective in communicating with prospects or customers.

There is an affiliate plan and after an initial joining fee of $175 a month, your monthly spend is just $20 for up to 1,000 clients on your mailing list.

This product has recently had a makeover and features beautiful templates, high deliverability, ease of use, and a very nice feel. With so many video formats, the ablity to upload many formats seamlessly is very important.

One more thing, you can combine different video segments in the same email. For instance you could have a video introducing a customer to a new property for sale. This could be a personalised messag of 15-30 seconds. Then you immediately switch to the second video, a tour of the property you are offering. At the end you could splice in a third video with a call to action.

Video Email is the new emerging technology in video. Right now you can capitalise from this new wave. By referring others to the talk fusion service, you can not only pay for your own system, but receive an additional income stream for your business.

To find out more about Talk fusion, go to www.talkfusion.com/1270061 and join for just $175 plus $20 a month. I am developing some great tutorial on video marketing to enhance the effectiveness of this great service.

Conclusion.

The research shows that using video email will make a positive difference to your business. Right now Talk Fusion not only offers professional templates and a low monthly charge, but the opportunity to recover your investment using referrals.

To contact me with any questions, email john@pems.com.au For more information on video emails and talk fusion, go to http://johngaydon.com where I have a number of articles including this one you can send others to view.

I hope you took at look at the video. The question is, is your glass half full or half empty?

When you look at the glass in the picture what does your mind automatically say to you? I know it is a simple analogy, but in my experience, it means a great deal about your ability to be successful in life.

This Is Serious Stuff!

Although this may seem quite trivial to some of you, the way we think, our attitude to life, is probably the biggest factor determining our ability to be successful. If you are happy with mediocrity, working for a boss all your life, not being able to travel, and have free time, this is not for you! It takes time and effort, and a certain degree of risk taking to attain success. It is just the way it is.

Are You Prepared To take Risks?

I went to University. I am sure many of you have attended College or University. I spent 4 years completing my business degree. Although there are some things I learned from that experience, I didn’t get a job based on my qualifications, and For 4 years of my life the returns were minimal. I am using this illustration because most people would be happy to dedicate 4 years and thousands of dollars to an education, thinking that at the end they would get a better job, be more respected, and bring home more money! Fair enough.

These same people look at internet marketing, or network marketing, perhaps give it a go, and if they don’t start making money in a few weeks quit, saying it doesn’t work. Now, if you put the same time and effort into building a home based business you put into a college degree, You would probably earn $100,000 a year or more residual income for the rest of your life. That is equivalent to $2m in the bank at 5% interest, a fairly high level in today’s economy. How long would it take you to save this in your current job?

The Life of The Glass Half Full.

This person always sees the challenges. If they see an opportunity, their first thoughts are, what is the angle? How am I being conned? This can’t possibly be true? You are stupid if you do this. It is all too hard. I am so busy, I couldn’t possibly do this. I am not qualified. These are some of the thoughts of the glass half full person. They are never satisfied, always feeling others are better off, and they never get a fair go.

The Half Glass Full Person.

These people are irrationally optimistic. They see possibilities in everything that comes their way. Everything in life happens for a reason and there is always a positive to come out of any situation, no matter how tragic. If something feels good they check it out, and if it feels right, they jump in. They like someone until their trust is broken. Even then, they view it as a behavior, not the person. They use their creativity to invent magical solutions to problems they encounter. This person never gives up, and once they feel right with a direction will get up again and again until they either feel time is up, or they achieve their goals.

Do You Think These People Experience The Same Life?

The funny thing is that if both of these people experienced exactly the same life challenges, one would see it as a disaster, while the other would be grateful for everything that happened! When you adopt a positive, half full, attitude, you are open to new possibilities. Things seem to come the way of these people. This is not magic. There is a reason.

Why Some People are More Successful.

Success comes in the relationships you have with other people. Whether it is personal or financial, everything you receive comes from other people. Without them we wouldn’t have much of a life. So who would you like to help, to give assistance, to donate money to? Would it be people telling you it can’t work, you are wasting their time, they can’t be bothered, OR those who are grateful, listen to your advice and act on it in good faith?

When we are grateful, open and positive (glass half full) we attract everything we require to have a great life. The more positive and encouraging of others we become, the more they want to give to us, the more they wish to see us attain success.

What You Can Do.

I hope you see the logic of this article. I talk to people very day. Most are skeptical and reluctant to take risks, even if they totally see the sense in it. They come up with ridiculous reasons why they can’t succeed. This is based on the concept their isn’t enough to go around, their glass is half empty.

There are others like me, who keep trying new things. We don’t rush into everything, but we try lots of ideas. Gradually we rise above the pack and start to move towards abundance. If there is a secret, this is it!

Your first step forward is to practice gratitude. Start with being grateful for every good thing in your life. Then extend it to being grateful for absolutely everything, even the bits you don’t like. Think of 5 things you are grateful for first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Do this for 10 days and then see how you feel about life. This simple action can change everything.

Have some fun. All work, no play makes Jack or Jill a dull person. Find something you like that doesn’t involve work and have fun with it. Laughter is another great way to transform your energy.

Take time for inspiration. Find yourself a sanctuary. Somewhere you won’t be disturbed. Go there regularly and use it as your creative space. Going back to the same space will build an energy and pretty soon when you enter that space you will instantly drop into creative mode. From this you draw inspiration and ideas that will take you forward to a magnificent life.

How Does This Change My Finances?

When you adopt a glass half full attitude you will be open to more risk taking. I work in network marketing and I know the possibilities. The few who choose and put their full energy into the right company live an extraordinary life. I would love to work with you and I believe I can help you transform your life and results. My latest venture is Video email and I see this as the next major advance in internet technology. If you would like to join me, go to www.talkfusion.com/1270061 and get started. I am here to help you every step of the way. You don’t need 4 years of your life to create a nice income with this.

Please feel free to contact me at john@pems.com.au to discuss anything you wish. I will do my best to answer you. You can life an extraordinary life. It just takes looking at the glass as half full!

I hope you have read the post about the importance of video email and how it is about to sweep the internet.

Here is the old way of sending a video email.

1. Shoot the email n your webcam and store it on your hard drive.
2. Convert the file into flv to reduce the file size
3. Load it onto a server such as Amazon S3.
4. Create a video player using easy video player or flowplayer.
5. Load this onto a web page using an HTML editor.
6. Upload the page to a web site you own using ftp.
7. Create an email with a link to the web page.
8. Send it to your list

How long do you think this all takes?

For me it took 30 minutes to an hour to get a single video email out and then it didn’t have a nice thumbnail to click on, just one of those nasty looking text links everyone uses.

Now let’s do the same thing using talk fusion.

Watch the video below and learn!

Are you sick and tired of people ignoring your emails? Many find them impersonal and there are so many people writing fancy copy these days, it gets a bit over the top!

When TV first hit the airwaves, it was an amazing medium. Response rates were unbelievable and advertisers flocked to get their message on TV. Naturally this has waned over the years, but it illustrates the point that new technologies give those who get in first, an unfair advantage.

The internet is changing at lightning speed. Only last week I connected to ADSL2 which means that my streaming videos run just like TV. The Australian government is building a national broadband network to provide instant video to everyone and other countries are ahead of this. This changes the game completely.

Presenting Video Email.

It may seem hard to believe, but video email has arrived! Finally we can directly email people and when they open the email there we are, ready to talk to them! What a brilliant idea.

Imagine Receiving An Email Like This

Now using a webcam, you can record your message and send it to your list, communicate quickly with family, and invite people to your training sessions. Who knows, the right video could even go viral, and spread around the world!

Is There A Market For Video Email?

I asked myself whether anyone wants video email or whether it is effective in getting your message across? After all, it wasn’t long ago that marketers started using videos on sales pages. Well take a look at these stats and you will see that 2010 is the year of video email! You are right at the front of a massive new wave in internet marketing and communication. This was a survey done to business about what they intend to do with video email.

“Usage Rates Will Skyrocket This Year
When asked if they used video email in 2009 and plan to use it in 2010, only a combined 15.7% of respondents said they used it last year. However, more than 80% of respondents plan to use video email this year, with 11.9% saying they used it last year and will increase usage this year. Only 0.8% of respondents said they used video email last year and will decrease usage this year.

Video Emails Seen as Conversion Tool
Almost 66% of respondents said video email can result in significant or moderate increases in conversion rates. Only 5.1% don’t think video email has any influence on conversion rates, with 28.9% unsure”.

Did you get that. Usage of video email is expected to rocket from 15.7% of businesses last year to over 80% this year! This is astounding. You can guarantee that those in Internet Marketing and Network Marketing will be on to this very quickly as they are amongst the fastest innovators on the net. A year from now everyone will be using video email.

Talk Fusion

When I first heard about this, I was stunned. In fact I looked at it for a few days and did my homework. I discovered that video email is in its infancy. There are a few options, but they usually involve a text email with a link to a video page. This is like firing up a coal fired steam train compared to an electric train! These days everyone wants everything instantly and most won’t bother to click on your links. Now you can send the video right on the email. Your friends simply hit play and there you are!

Is This Expensive?

Well, no. that really surprised me. You can have a 1,000 mailing list for just $20 a month. Heck, one sales or one motivated person more than pays for that! That’s why I joined. Better yet, it has its own business plan, so you can make a handsome profit marketing this concept.

It Takes A Lot

Those of you who know me realize that I get a new pitch every week. There are a whole host of companies out there with sometimes great ideas. After studying MLM for years, I know that those who sell the tools often make the most money. This is going to be the ultimate tool in the next few years. The survey said they expected 45.5% increase in conversion using video email. Once that gets around everyone will jump on it!

What Is Stopping You?

If you are entrepreneurial, you know a good deal when you see it. Video email is about to explode, and this is obvious! Advances in technology assure that. You can literally have your face in front of someone in less than 5 minutes, a fact I will be demonstrating on a future post! Right now, you can do one of two things, unless you want to pass this by and miss the wave, that is.

1. You can go to http://www.talkfusion.com/1270061 and join as either an Executive or Associate.
   
2. Fill out the enquiry form below and I will contact you and answer any question you may have.
   

This is really exciting. The future is here and in 2010 that future is Video Email!

John Gaydon

Let’s face it, MLM gets a bad wrap! Most of us have vivid memories of being invited to a secret meeting, only to have the white board rolled out and be told why laundry concentrate is better than the stuff you buy in the Supermarket.

My Early Experience in MLM

My introduction to this industry was in 1972 with a company called Aladdin. I was invited to a huge meeting and left purchasing a position for $60. Some spent thousands to be grandfathered in at the top level. This was a true pyramid, although no one ever said that! In the late 1970s I was convinced to join Amway and remember my local Distributor with his garage full of products. I had another go in the mid 1980s and decided this industry was not for me. This one ended with me phoning all my neighbours and inviting them to one of those home meetings, supplying refreshments and then getting cold shouldered for months afterwards! That is what happens when you live in a small rural community,.

How I Was Romanced Into Network Marketing

You can imagine I was rather resistant to the idea when someone answered an ad for seminars I was holding and invited me to visit him, 100kms from my home. I have always followed my hunches, and discovered he was a skydiver and had a marketing degree. I was writing a book at the time, and he seemed perfect for the forward. I kept in contact.

His first attempt was a water filter company. After constant nagging, he convinced me to try some stuff which he assured me would make my car more economical. It worked and after using 20% less fuel on a long trip, I went to another of those big meetings. They drew all the circles and the 2 x 2 x 2 and told me how I could be rich in a year by following their plan. Well, I knew the product worked, so I bought in at $1,068.00 for 3 business centres.

It was just before Christmas 1997, and I was living on my credit card, paying the interest every month to keep me afloat! On the way out after signing up, my sponsor said, “for $30 you can join 2 other networks, and we can build 3 at once”. Well, $30 seemed very small after what I had just done, so I did what I was told.

For two months nothing happened. Everyone I approached told me to go away. It seemed everyone had tried MLM before and no one liked the idea. It dampened my spirits somewhat. I was in the fortunate position that I was holding festivals with Natural Health, Personal Development and Environment as the theme. We set up booths for each business and scheduled lectures on health.

Business starts To Grow

My first team member was a stall holder. To this day she still orders product and is part of my networking business. I would estimate I have earned at least $100,000 from this one person and all the down line created as a result. I still earn $1,000 a month from her contacts! After 2 months and 6 festivals I received a $436 cheque, not from the fuel company, but the $30 nutrition one. I was excited. Eventually I recovered my $1,000 investment from the fuel company, but never really made much.

Move forward to 2010. I established 3 solid MLM businesses during the last 12 years. Each provides in excess of $1,000 a month residual income, month after month. Two of those are on autopilot, and the other I am building. One month I earned $15,089 in commission, not bad for residual income. In that time I have earned numerous reward trips with the various companies and Network Marketing has given us the lifestyle freedom to choose when and where we work (if that is what you call it!) I have run the business from Guatemala, Cancun in Mexico, Hamilton Island, Las Vegas, New York and many other locations around the globe. It is a rewarding lifestyle.

Why I Believe In Network Marketing

So why do I believe in this business model? Quite simply, it is brilliant if you use it correctly. Let’s face it, not too many people reach even $100,000 a year and if you talk to them you will find they put enormous effort in. Don’t be deluded that it is easy and everyone wants to join you – they don’t. Randy Gage says, “Most people are happy leading quiet lives of desperation,” and I agree. Imagine an extra $1,000 into your bank account every month from work you did years ago! I have that and more.

Let us get down to practical matters. Over the last 12 years I have become smarter! I have been through all the pain of cold calling, harassing friends and relatives, renting stalls at numerous markets and festivals. I have travelled interstate just to run meetings and at one stage I was the presenter for company meetings in two cities! Would you like to know my formula for success in MLM in 2010?

Nowadays I have added internet marketing to my bow. I can reach millions with a simple ad on google and build my business world wide. I know just like Network Marketers, most people on the internet make little money, because they don’t know how to profit from their efforts. In fact last weekend I spent 3 days with Armand Morin, probably the leading Internet Marketing expert in the world, talked to lots of people and all but a few were either starting out or struggling!

My Secret Formula For Success.

I market Network Marketing products on the internet and products on how to make money. From this I get a bunch of people who buy my products, both for making money and better health, an area I am passionate about. I introduce these people to the concept of residual income. That gives them an avenue to continually add more people to the network, gaining up front income to fund lead generation and a growing residual income to support their lifestyle.

I then teach others what I do and those that apply themselves start earning residual income as well. This means that you don’t have to make any profits on sales, because it is the residual income you are seeking. It is a simple formula and it works! Oh yes, did I tell you I never call anyone unless they ask me to! I market my business and answer emails and phone calls. My systems sort out the enquiries and I get a 90% close rate when I actually talk to someone! This is exceptional in this industry. My team members get so used to this, they can’t relate to cold calling 500 people who say they are interested in making money and making nothing out of the entire list. They are spoilt.

A Little Investment Advice.

Do you know how much you would need in the bank to earn $1,000 a month? Well, it is around $250,000 at today’s interest rates. $5,000 a month would require well over $1m in the bank. You can set up a $1,000 a month residual income in less than a year. How long would it take you to save $250,000 in your current situation? This is the real advantage of Network Marketing.

Can you see this model as an alternative to a JOB? You can do this while working in your day time job, and add $1,000 or more part time, or keep going and create a full time income. This is working smarter, not harder. If this concept appeals to you, contact me. I can set you up with all the tools and training to do this as well. It is easy to follow, step by step and it works!

My initial question was the case for Network Marketing. With the ability to sell products at cost, and build a long term residual income, can you think of a better way to live. It is worth the effort, learning curve and time involved. When you get there, you choose if and when you work, have a lifestyle that will be the envy of your neighbours, and the time freedom to live life as you choose!

This weekend passed I spent 3 full days with Armand Morin, arguably the most successful Internet Marketer of all time. Armand makes something like $30m a year and has amassed earnings of some $80m as far as I can tell! He is definitely someone worth listening to.

I can’t actually remember when I first heard about Armand, but it was quite early in my Internet Marketing career.

The first product I purchased was Audiogenerator, something I still use today, and members of my team who have websites created by me have their audios hosted at audiogenerator. It made streaming audio possible at a time when this wasn’t normal! Some of you reading this have benefitted from this great software product.

When I heard Armand was coming to Sydney in late 2007 at Mal Emery’s Masters of Cash Flow, I had to go and hear this man in person. His presentation was more than god, and I left the event $3,000 lighter in the wallet. On the way home I wondered what had gotten into me!

Internet Marketing Explained

Well, Internet Marketing Explained (IME) is the most extraordinary and comprehensive course I have completed. I spent many hours listening to audios and applying the knowledge I learned at this seminar. Those of you who have purchased or used my training material have Armand to thank for much of it! He taught me about blogs, wordpress, video, using audio on web pages, and a host of things I can’t even remember!

As for this weekend passed, I am very excited and see new horizons opening for me. I will share some of these with you as well. The weekend went very fast and I took lots of notes, but here is a brief summary before I forget the detail!

The Weekend In Summary

Friday we started with the concept that you should build your own list. That is why I always suggest you capture your own leads on your own web page. We talked about defining your business as a first step to success. Here are the questions to make up the picture you are painting.

• What Do You Do?
• What Can You Do Better Than Everyone Else?
• How Do You DO This Differently?
• Your Unique Position factor
• Why should Someone else care?
• What would you make me buy from you?
• Why Is this Important?

Armand suggested the biggest mistake people made was not planning to succeed!

He talked about good customer service, keeping in touch with customers, having a help desk (something I will be implementing soon)Then we talked about Marketing and Psychology and the new way to look at the sales process. This is people react emotionally to an ad, then they decide to buy, and then you give them information to justify their decision. This is different from the old method of showing it first, then getting a reaction and asking for the order.

We spent some time on the Video Sales letter, and I will be preparing some detailed training on this to be included with my new products, the MLM Customer Acquisition System and Lead Generation Domination. There is simply too much information to include here.

Saturday we talked about building a business from scratch, and expanding an existing business. These are the steps.

1. Find A Market (not a product!)
2. Check out the Competition
3. Work Out Their Biggest Problem
4. Do a test campaign with an ad asking what is their biggest problem and collect responses.
5. Evaluate your topic after receiving 200 responses.
6. Create your product name and get a domain name to match. Include the main keyword phrase in the domain name if possible.
7. Create a product by interviewing an expert on the subject on audio or video.
8. Get a transcript and turn it into an Ebook
9. Create a video salesletter
10. Build Your thank you page
11. Advertise your sales page

For existing business, Armand suggests making sure everything has the same look and feel (branding).

Use a separate website for each product. The process is ad to landing page to sales page to upsell to downsell.

Armand suggests everyone creates their own regular newsletter and hosts it on a separate web site. Build a list to the newsletter and then sell your products through ads placed there. This helps you build a bigger list.

He talked about email copywriting in detail and gave lots of tips.

Sunday (today) Armand talked about Traffic Generation

• Article Marketing
• Placement targeting using Placement Locator which lowers ppc costs dramatically, and how to set up campaigns on google, bing and Facebook. Armand is not a big fan of Facebook and says you have to be careful or it can get very expensive!
• Building A Google Adwords Search Campaign
• Building a Video Landing Page

   

Armand then presented his AM2.0 program, a monthly coaching program, with top marketers.

We learnt about Google’s rules for advertisers and how not to have your account shut down!

The final section was on a way to use image ads to get amazing cheap clicks from google.

Last, but not least, Armand answered everyone’s questions.

Why I Recommend Armand’s Courses!

I seriously recommend you consider purchasing Internet Marketing Explained for the following reasons.

1. Since I purchased the course, Armand has provided free updates and will continue to do so.
2. We gained access to many of his programs including new ones
3. I received 2 free tickets to this weekend 2 ½ years after I purchased his course!
4. When you purchase IME from Armand, you really get support for life with all these extra useful productivity tools for your business.

I urge you to watch the following video and click on the link to discover more about this course which is now cheaper than when I first purchased it. If you truly wish to master the internet, Armand is the person to teach you!

As we relax in our 14^th story hotel room on luxurious Hamilton Island, it is once again a time to reflect on the great things of Network marketing.

John Gaydon relaxing on a reward trip.

Here I am at Sails restaurant overlooking the magnificent Whitsunday Islands. This is truly paradise on earth!

We won this trip, the 4^th with one of the networking companies I represent, purely on business gained from the internet! It is the result of distributors and customers added using some of the techniques I have developed over the last 5 years.

Five years ago, I was considering my future with this company. My income had dwindled to almost nothing and my garage was filling up with product! Something had to change.

As selling my monthly regular order of 6 bottles of a product I could only use one of just wasn’t happening, I decided that even if I lost money on sales, it was better than throwing outdated product away! I put together a web page and started a PPC campaign.

The first few months, sales were very slow. I didn’t recoup advertising costs, but I sold enough product to cover my ads, if you didn’t include the product cost. I had a bit more in my pocket!

I kept going and started refining my ads and web page. I did some testing. Well, after 5 months, things started to change. At one stage my monthly income from this reached over $4,000 in commission and I had several networkers join my team just from that google ad and web page. That is the reason we are at Hamilton Island. We regularly appear on the top 10 volume distributors and top 10 enrollers in the company.

Readers of this blog will know that I have developed my Multilevel Marketing Customer Acquisition System, designed to market MLM products on the internet. I have used this with several products from several companies with great success. My personal result is a total of 17 reward trips to exotic places paid for by 3 different Network Marketing companies in the last 6 years! This product is nearing completion as I add the finishing touches with some of the latest information I have learned about internet marketing. This came from blood, sweat and tears, following a number of “Gurus.” Some of their ideas worked, and many didn’t, at least in this field. I can only recommend what work for me. I know they can work for you too. Of all of the other myriad of ideas, many didn’t work for me and some I really can’t comment on.

More recently, I realised that like it or not, getting a constant stream of customers is only part of the answer. To stay successful in MLM, we need to continuously bring on new distributors. As a result, I am now laser focusing my efforts on a system to achieve just that. The Lead Generation Domination System, soon to be released, enables anyone to build a lead list. I show you how to make a profit generating your own leads, and how to ramp the system up to get as many leads as you like! This is a very exciting project.

So watch for more information in the next few weeks. There are two ways you can guarantee to get notification of this new program. You can subscribe to the RSS feed of this blog, or fill out the “Come Fly With Me” form so you will receive notification when the system is released.

I expect this to go viral, and using my methods, simply enrolling 10 people in the program could net you $650 or more.

I will let you in on one more secret. The cost is nowhere near $650! It will be below $60. The best part is, no monthly fees. You pay once and that’s it.

Oh well, back to the beach!

John

First let me introduce myself. My name is John Gaydon and I live in Kariong, one hour north of Sydney, Australia. We live sandwiched between some beautiful bushland where abundant wildflowers grow year round, and some of the world’s best beaches. My wife and I have a 3 year old daughter, and just extended our house. We have been on at least one overseas holiday every year since 2000, and many breaks at retreats in Australia.

I am in the fortunate position that I haven’t worked a JOB (just over broke) job since July 1, 2002 when I was retrenched from a call center position, not exactly a high flying profession! If you are interested in making the transition from getting by each week to a life of abundance where You earn more than you spend every month, it might do you some good to listen to someone who has done it – me!!

The Myth Of Instant Success

Now, I am not a high flyer with a 7 figure income. If you are looking to make a million by tomorrow morning you can part with your hard earned cash with someone else who is eager to lighten your wallet, not me. One of my reasons for writing this piece is to inform you that the lure of overnight success is an age old tradition by which certain people make a fortune, while almost everyone else ends up as road kill. If you have ventured into investment schemes, internet marketing in a box businesses, or Network Marketing that is purely for profit, you will understand what I am talking about!

I have achieved my success by working with a few individuals, mentoring them over a period of time, and helping them transform their thinking and skills to the point where they earn several thousand dollars a month in residual income, month after month. If that idea interests you, read on. Otherwise, have a nice life!

My Business Background

I wasn’t always an entrepreneur, or independent businessman. Part of my learning process was almost going bankrupt. I worked my way out of that situation. I have been connected with some top flight sales organizations and my one true sales job selling float tank programs, ended in less than a week. I was told I simply wasn’t the type for a sales career. By tracking my journey, you can see if I am someone you resonate with as a future coach or mentor, and if I may have some clues to set you on the path to greater fun and success in life.

My first job was at age 9 as a choir boy at St James’s church in Sydney. This ended when my voice broke. After leaving school, I trained as a telecommunications technician and four years later went on a 3 year world tour photographing steam trains. After that I spent 12 years climbing the corporate ladder, until I started attending personal development seminars and decided this was not my life path.

My First Business Attempt

I quit and lasted on my own for 18 months until the money ran out! Back to corporate for 4 years working with a Pharmaceutical company and developing my own business on the side. My second attempt at financial independence lasted 6 years. This time I conducted seminars all over Australia, worked at various festivals conducting consultations on their lives, and had a great time. At the end of it all I was organization my own events and the money coming in paid for the outstanding bills until there wasn’t enough to go around anymore. I had to get off the wheel.

First Attempts At Network Marketing

When I heard about Network Marketing in 1978 via an Amway visit from a neighbor, I really liked the concept. I joined because I liked the products and during my first career, sold 3 bottles of glass cleaner! No, I didn’t buy a new yacht. My second attempt in 1986 culminated in a meeting at my house where as instructed, I invited all the neighbors to a meeting without telling them what it was. After that, relationships in our close knit community deteriorated rapidly! This was death to MLM as far as I was concerned.

Finally, I Find A Mentor

In 1997, I met someone who answered an ad for one of my seminars. He was an interesting character and agreed to write a forward for my new book, so I kept in touch. Over the next six months, he slowly wore down my resistance to MLM. At Christmas I joined 3 companies he recommended. My real training and learning started from there. One of the original companies paid me $2,821.06 just this week, 11 years after starting the business. The other two are no longer in business.

Something you need to know if you are considering changing from whatever you are doing to a career in Network Marketing or working for yourself is this. It takes time. There are many skills required to run an organisation of thousands of independent workers. You don’t have to know everything to get started, but if you neglect continual improvement in this business, you are likely to fail. I have a very high closing rate when I actually talk to someone, I get nearly all of my leads though promotional activities, so I only talk to interested people, and those I have trained do the same. This has developed step by step over many years.

A Lesson In Network Marketing

Perhaps the biggest lesson I have learned in MLM is that you can only really build one network at a time. For most people, you can only build one line of sponsorship at a time. For years I juggled several organizations, enrolling my recruits in all of them and spending hours deciding which was best. One day, I decided to concentrate on one at a time, and the one I choose prospered. I have done this twice and both return a good income every month.

I have a very clear criteria when selecting what I will do for financial reward. If I can’t see my efforts adding value to the lives of others, I am not interested. I receive many offers to join organizations, and refuse almost all of them, because they don’t fit my criteria. My latest venture I enrolled in 3 years ago, is the best I have been involved with, and something I can wholeheartedly support.

Who Am I looking For?

Once again, if you are still reading, then you are certainly close to the person I am looking for to mentor to success. Remember, I am not very fond of failure, so I am careful who I take on. I don’t charge, and help you generate income. This may seem crazy until you discover that the best way to make a large income is to help others make a large income! Sharing everything I know will not only benefit you, but myself as well. How cool is that.

Who Am I Promoting and Why?

On the internet, companies scan the information looking for their trade marks. If I use company names and proprietary products, I come under scrutiny and have to be careful what I say. It is for this reason, you will have to talk to me to get the name of the company. What we have is an amazing detox product that safely removes heavy metals and toxins from the body. Competitive products either don’t function nearly as well, or are downright dangerous, giving us the edge having the easiest to take, safest, most effective detox product on the planet.

The company has been around for over 5 years, and the product 4 years. I have done my homework and can tell you sincerely, that heavy metal and toxin removal from our bodies will soon be the largest market in wellness. Your body can’t operate efficiently while these toxins are present. All the pills and potions supplemented have limited effect UNLESS you get the rubbish out of your body. Can you imagine once people understand this they will be looking for a solution which we have right now.

Why This Product Is Needed!

There are no labeling requirements for heavy metals or toxins in any food, water supply, air, or anything else, so unless you are educated you won’t be aware of the extent of these invisible killers. They are linked to up to 85% of diseases and more people are becoming aware of this. Drugs don’t help much because they add to the toxic burden of the body.

Our mission is to inform people what the Governments are not telling us, and provide real solutions that work. I hope you can start to see the enormity of this opportunity. It is growing rapidly. I can see a rise in interest on the internet over the last three years that is phenomenal and it is about to grow exponentially.

How Do I Build My Income?

Would you like to know how you can take advantage of the situation, and help thousands of others in the process? Well I use a variety of marketing activities to find the people ready for a change. I have called only a handful of people I knew before I started and none of them has done much. All of my recruiting and organsation has come from the internet. Up to 4 of my team members appear on the top 10 world wide recruiting list every month. We hold regular mastermind meetings on the phone, weekly product information calls, have produced our own team CD, established an information blog I am busy promoting worldwide, and created just about all the tools you could possibly need to succeed.

In fact, with what is available, the only reason you could fail is if you don’t learn, and don’t apply yourself to activities. There really is no excuse.

What You Can Do.

Go to http://mlmbusinessguru.com/videos/mm1.html and view a 20 minute presentation I have prepared for you. This will explain what the business is about, why it is a good one, how you earn, and your commitments.

You can receive up to $US500 for every business associate you personally enrol. That gives you a healthy budget for marketing! Under my guidance, you could easily earn $US1,000 or more in your first month. Several of my team have exceeded this amount, so I know that I can achieve this with the right person. This is an exciting opportunity that pays real money while you make a real difference to the lives of others. It will take commitment, persistence, and a great deal of learning, but it is not hard to do.

It’s Your Choice.

If you are interested, call me on (02) 4340 2711 in Australia or (61) 2 4340 2711 from other countries. I have a local US number. It is (213) 784 0905. You can Skype me. Search for john@pems.com.au

When you develop your own team, I will work with you as you develop your leadership skills. We have top income earners mentoring us weekly. Together we will empower them to achieve the success you will achieve, multiplying your income exponentially. Now it is up to you. I have the track record to prove I can do it. Are you willing to develop the mind and skill set to create an ongoing residual income and never have to work a JOB again!

Best of luck,

John Gaydon

PS What you read here applies to any business venture you enter into. If you are not passionate about making a difference in the lives of others, don’t bother calling. This is not for you.

I want to let you in on a secret I have been guarding for a few weeks.

My SEO History

For years, I have dedicated much of my time to cracking the code to search engine traffic. You see “liquid zeolite” alone, as a search term has over 8,100 searches a month on google. That means for those lucky people who have their web pages on page 1 of google, they will be seen by 8,100 people every month!

These are people who want to purchase Liquid Zeolite, or find out more about it. They are prospective customers and business associates for your business. Every time, as a premier, one of these people purchase a Pacesetter pack, you receive over $200US in commissions – not bad when SEO traffic is free!

MLM Customer Acquisition System Is Part Of The Solution

You know about my MLM Customer Aquisition system I am back to work now steadily publishing articles and optimising web pages according to the rules I taught you. It helps and my blog at http://detoxzeolite.com is suddenly increasing in visitors to the tune of 206 plus visitors a day. It was 130 in January! That’s a 53% increase in just 2 months.

After many months building my other site, http://zeolitereview.org, I know that it wasn’t all clever articles and videos. In fact I paid $470US to someone to build links to the site over 2 months to get traffic up. It worked and for a couple of months I had over 800 visitors a week to http://zeolitereview.org

Trouble is, as soon as I stopped paying for the link building, traffic plummeted and in a few weeks the site disappeared from the google radar!

New Technology Changes Everything

Then I found EVO. This is a computer who acts like a person. I spend 5 minutes setting this system up and it then works all night building links to any website or page I wish for any keyword I want. Now I want you to picture what I am doing here.

First I do all the stuff in MLMCAS to produce a keyword rich article. I load it up using SubmitYOURArticle article submission service.

I tried submitting articles myself and I came up with all sorts of challenges. First, this service checks your article before it gets to the directories, which means you won’t get banned or have to do extensive rewrites. The people at submityourarticle do all this for you.

Second, it is better to submit your article to all of the article directories before you widely distribute it using EVO’s magick.

These directories are picky and don’t like duplicate content.

My final part is to let EVO go to work, generating RSS feeds, links from high ranked web sites, blog posts, etc to boost my page up the rankings and get listed on google, yahoo and the other search engines.

Just Look At The Results!

Here are some of my keyword rankings, just to prove a point.

• Liquid Zeolite     42 (was 181)
• cancer zeolite     15 (4,400 searches a month for this term) I have an article lodged at submityourarticle.com which has position 7 on google.com right now. That’s first page exposure!
• zeolite detox     3
• activated zeolite 14

I am now really excited. As my traffic builds, I get more enquiries and more sales, enough for 8 Pacesetters last month or $1,600 in commission just from pack sales. Add that to the Emerald bonus of $800 or so and you can see why I like what I do!

Want To Know More?

I know this is not for everyone. There is a price to pay! So if you would like to get the link building tool I am using to crash tackle the search engines and make them mine, click here

Just listen to the audio and follow along with what is on the page. I believe you can get in right now, but it won’t last. Peter Drew, an aussie genius who came up with this, limits the number of people to have access to this dynamite system so as not to flood the internet.

Anyway, if you are interested in dominating the search engines, I will teach you and point you to the tools to get you there fast.

Remember 2 great resources.

1. SubmitYOURArticle to get your articles all over the internet and get listed in the search engines.
2. EVO to build links to your site, create RSS feeds and distribute content to blogs, bulletin boards, and high PR web sites.

You can call me (John Gaydon) on (02) 4340 2711 (Australia), 1 (213) 784-0905 (USA) or skype john_gaydon and I am happy to answer your questions on this. Before this program I had very few links to my web sites. Now I am slowly starting to dominate search engine rankings and I can tell you that after just 2 weeks, I am sneaking up on the websites with the top positions in my niche. Watch what happens over the next few weeks, or become part of the action. You get a full 7 day trial with this software.

PS I am still in the process of completing the MLMCAS package. I want it to be dynamite and it will include some great bonuses. In fact I think the bonuses may be worth the eventual price of the course!

This is an exciting time to be an entrepreneur as we trail Blaze new ways to generate the income to provide for ourselves and our family’s futures.
