Lesson 9 - Free Traffic With Forum Marketing

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 18:25:00 +0000

A very effective way to get targeted traffic is to do a search on Google and Yahoo to find discussion forums related to the product you are selling or niche that you are targeting. The great thing about this is that you are tapping into communities who are specifically interested in what you have to offer. Many forum users are respected experts and bloggers in the specific topics covered by the forum making the information extremely valuable for market research.

Similar to blogging, you can tailor what your offering and how you’re offering it depending on the discussions taking place. In other words, forum participation is an exceptionally valuable resource to get to know your market.

Forum users are also generally net savvy and open to making online purchases. Forum marketing is a high ROI (Return On Investment) strategy because making a good impression in front of this savvy and influential audience can help your marketing message turn viral. However, forums aren’t marketplaces. During the last few years, forum marketing has been perceived as a valuable and free method for online advertising, but because so many marketers crowd forums purely with the intention of bombarding members with advertisements and to some extent propaganda, their actions cause the exact opposite of the desired effect.

Due to the lack of respect from so many novice marketers, many forums have recently developed strict rules designed to protect their members from abusive or overly aggressive marketing tactics. Marketers must respect that the purpose of a forum is to be a platform to exchange ideas on a given topic. It is not there to advertise products and services. By focusing on the topic and posting questions and answers, a marketer’s reputation will grow and this creates the potential for sales naturally. Abiding by all the rules will eventually create trust and your reputation, as a business professional will solidify.

In order to succeed with this kind of marketing, actively participate in the forum discussions and where possible try to find and post answers to questions that people have raised. Do not directly promote your product or website if you try to help people initially, they will be naturally drawn to visiting your website in your signature file, or mention that you have some information that will be of benefit to them.

The first requirement is to take a personal interest in the main topic of the forum. Not only does that mean visiting it regularly, but it also means developing a good relationship with both other members and the moderators, as well as taking an active interest in helping others.

In order to be successful using forums, here are some tips:
1. Join relevant forums that are in some way related to your line of business.
2. Choose popular forums. Look for page ranking and the amount of active members.
3. Choose forums that allow signature tags.
4. Keep your signature tags short and update it regularly - A link to you landing page or website.
5. Never create posts that promote your business, advertise a product or service, etc…
6. Be an active member on the forum. Plan to spend at least an hour each day there and take the time to get to know the users and form relationships.
7. Stay away from drama! Don’t participate in heated discussions, you may ruin your reputation.

Lesson 8 - Free Traffic with Video Marketing

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 20:38:00 +0000

Video online marketing has seen exponential growth in the last year or so. More and more advertisers are adopting video as broadband becomes readily available and ad-serving technologies become more sophisticated. To the savviest Internet marketers, it’s an essential part of their marketing toolbox, offering numerous benefits to almost every web business. Online video sites like YouTube are exploding at the seams and offer some of the best opportunities for free traffic.

If you haven’t begun exploring this medium, we recommend you take a serious look at how you can implement and incorporate it in your existing advertising campaigns. If you’re new to online advertising, sit back, relax and enjoy.

Video advertising, combined with existing ad copy enhances the users’ overall experience when interacting with your website. If done right, your video advertisements will stand out from the crowd in an increasingly cluttered online environment and subsequently increase your conversion rates. Whether you are using it to supplement the ad copy on your website and increase conversions, or to capture traffic from massive video sites like YouTube.com, or even to dominate Google’s Universal Search, undeniably online video is here to stay!

There are cutting edge technologies for video marketing and several factors to take into consideration when developing, embedding and tweaking videos for online use. Unfortunately, this is an entire course on its own and out of scope at this point. However, let’s determine what our goals are to get you started with video marketing.

Goal 1: Identify Your Target Audience

In essence, you want your videos to be seen by people who are looking for the information, products or services that you’re offering. The main objective is for your videos to generate traffic for your landing pages.

For instance, if you were promoting a business opportunity and looking for business partners, you would want to attract other like minded entrepreneurs who are ambitious, sociable, motivated and looking for the right business opportunity. You want to target individuals who keep their options open and eager to evaluate an opportunity to make more money, work from home etc…

Identifying the right audience may seem obvious, but believe it or not, it is one of the most overlooked things when beginners post videos online to generate traffic for their business.

Goal 2: Portray The Correct Message

It is important to come across as a confident leader and most importantly an expert in your respective area. People will only buy from you or partner with you if they trust you and if you demonstrate equal or greater value.

Make sure you are dressed appropriately and the background of your video is concurrent with the message you are trying to provide. 95% of all communication between humans is visual. How you say what you say is as important as the words themselves.

You would be surprised at the horrific videos some people release to the public these days. The videos represent you and your company. Make it as professional looking as possible, but fun and interesting at the same time. Do your research and see what’s out there in your industry. We personally respect and model our work with the workings of Eben Pagan and Mike Dillard.

Goal 3: Create a Call To Action

A video in itself is only a video. Without a call to action, it’s pretty much useless unless you’re using it for branding purposes only. Tell your visitors where to go and what to do next. Be specific; sell them on getting more information. Your goal is to get them to your landing page and subscribe to your list so that they become a lead and possibly a new customer or business associate.

There are a few services out there that you want to take advantage of once your videos are ready. Believe it or not, YouTube is not the only option for online video distribution. I highly recommend Trafficgeyser.com to improve your Google ranking and Tubemogul.com, a free service that will automatically upload your videos to all the major sites, track all your videos and provide detailed tracking reports.

Have fun creating your videos!!!

To your success,

The Fusion Method - Lesson 7 - Article Marketing Basics

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 04:47:00 +0000

From the Office of "The Musical Mad Scientist and Entrepreneur", Gopal.

Writing content rich articles is an extremely powerful method of marketing and creating links to your website, specifically one way links, which gives your site more credibility as a reference point for valuable products, services, or information. Search engines will pick up on this and you will see a marked improvement in your search engine ranking. Writing articles takes time but you will improve with practice and be able to produce more in less time.

Generating a lot of traffic to your site with articles starts with you writing the article. When writing, make sure you address the following issues:

1) Catchy Title- With the overflow of articles available online you only have a few seconds to grab your potential reader's attention so make sure your title is as strong as possible.

2) Quality content– a primary goal of your the article is to establish you as someone who is quite knowledgeable in your field, so make sure the article is of high quality and demonstrates this.

3) Keywords- Research as many keywords as possible that pertain to the subject matter of your article and structure short and easy to read sentences full of them. Search engines will be able to pick up on these keywords and be able to tag your article for its search listings.

4) Interest level– tying into the first point, your title, make sure the way you deliver your useful content is as engaging and dynamic as possible. You have to keep your audience' attention and reading your entire article rather than just skimming over a few words and leaving. Picture your articles as short stories with an interesting plot that will leave your readers wanting more.

5) Attraction – use your words to create an overwhelming urge in your readers to click through to your web site after reading your entire article and either purchase what you are offering or join your business opportunity. Even if they don't bite right away your goal is to have left a very strong positive impression on readers and keep them returning to your web site.

The next step is to submit the article to multiple article directories. You can do this manually if you like, although it is a slow and tedious process. Using some form of article submission software is strongly recommended. If you have the budget, another option is to hire someone to do it for you. Whichever method you choose, the submission of the articles will create valuable one way links to your website over time.

Posting your articles on your web site can provide you with fresh content that will aid in your search engine ranking. Many people use articles as blog entries, and vice versa where blog entries that are written in article format rather than as a journal entry or ''thought of the day'' can be submitted to multiple directories. The more of a presence you have online the more people can find you. Other website and newsletter owners may contact you for use of your articles that will give you exposure to a whole new audience.

Finally, you can submit your articles to offline publications for consideration. Having an article printed in a newspaper or magazine will really help to establish your credibility and drive traffic to your website. You may even get paid for the article, but if you don’t then the free exposure is well worth it.

Write articles, submit them to numerous outlets and reap the rewards of branding yourself and your business online.

Porn Industry needs bailout money, not Viagra.

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 05:26:00 +0000

Believe it or not, during these tough economical times, almost every industry is hurting financially. The Porn Industry is no exception. Hustler publisher Larry Flynt and “Girls Gone Wild” founder Joe Francis proposed a government bailout of the adult-entertainment industry with a request of $5-billion from Congress, indicating that DVD sales that have slumped over 20 per cent in the past year.

With more people unable to afford buying DVDs, piracy has gone up and has brought down sales. Porn star Stormy Daniels said it best at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, "They just don't have any money, they have no choice but to download it,".

Wouldn't it be great if people were financially stable and were able to afford simple things such as DVDs? Wouldn't it be great to be recession proof and not have all the stress with the stock market roller coaster ride?

Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty expects Big Job Losses in 2009, are you prepared?

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 19:57:00 +0000

“We're in for a very difficult year,” he said, speaking at a press conference prior to pre-budget consultations in Ontario. He also stated, "We regrettably are going to have to expect continuing job losses in Canada,". Statistics Canada data showed that the country lost 34,400 jobs in December 2008, more than expected. While the Canadian job losses are not as great as those in the United States, it is a cause for alarm.

With more and more Canadians living paycheck to paycheck, are you prepared to financially survive if you were to lose your job? Mr. Flaherty indicated that the country's deficit will be substantial, so the government might not be able to help you out. Banks are also making it harder and harder to borrow money, so don't rely on them. If you think that they have safe, secure job, then think again, there is nothing "safe and secure" anymore. Large corporations will not hesitate to slash their workforce in order to meet shareholder expectations.

What is the answer to all this economic turmoil? Simple, become financially free and be prepared NOW. Don't wait until you loss your job or assets to do something, set something up now and let it grow while you have time. Becoming a business owner is one of the first critical steps to becoming financially free. Whether you choose to be in real estate, financial investments, or owning a coffee shop, the potential independence and financial freedom of being in business are priceless.

Many individuals we talk to are interested in business, but are not sure of where to start or have fear of losing money. You must be willing to take a bit of a risk to be prepared for the storm ahead, or, you can remain fearful and lose everything when that dreaded storm arrives. The majority of successful millionaires have always indicated this.

We at the v-Fusion Group can show you a way to be prepared now. By showing you the advantages of business ownership, coaching you through the tough times, and providing tools and training to help you achieve the freedom that you deserve. Do not hesitate to visit http://www.success.thevfusiongroup.biz/ for further information or by contacting us at anytime.

A Message by George Carlin

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 15:01:00 +0000

Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

George Carlin

The Fusion Method - Lesson 6 - The Benefits of Blogging

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 03:54:00 +0000

This next lesson is courtesy of "The Musical Mad Scientist and Entrepreneur", Gopal. You can visit his blog here http://www.gopalonline.com. Internet marketer and entrepreneur, it is a pleasure to be working with Gopal, he's innovative, intelligent and creative in his work. Oh yes, and not to mention MAD!

Blogging is a very cost-effective method for generating traffic that only requires some time, dedication, and creativity. Blogging allows you to introduce yourself to an endless sea of potential readers online and generate interest in your business. You can write your blogs in article form, as journal entries, as thoughts/tips of the day, or any other way you can think of to convey your thoughts. Beyond driving traffic toward a business website by helping gain search engine attention, blog marketing has a number of other benefits for entrepreneurs, as well.
Benefits of Blogging for a Home Business Owner:

Provides a forum for a small or home business owner to discuss their products, services or business opportunity in an easy-to-understand way.

Keeps your target market aware of upcoming events or news.

Provides a platform for small business owners to establish themselves as an expert in their field.

Creates an interactive environment and invites direct contact with potential customers and/or business partners. Readers can leave comments or even ask questions directly which the writer or writers of the blog can then answer. This is a fantastic way to develop a rapport with your market and gain credibility.

Offers a means for a home business owner to connect with customers and prospects. Getting acquainted with your audience is beneficial because it allows them to view you as someone who is accessible, professional, and down to earth. Also you can hear first-hand what your customers and prospects really want and tailor your products and services to suit them.

Creates an outlet for fun and creativity. The typical set up for a blog – even those used by some of the world's most noted newspaper journalists – is very friendly and conversational. This means small business owners can share ideas in a laid back way. Communicating in this way is often considered one of the most enjoyable for home-based entrepreneurs. Since blogging can actually pay off with more business, it's a win-win.

Getting started with blog marketing is really very simple and so many people are blogging everyday on every subject imaginable. You can host your blog for free on a number of sites online and it will help drive interest and traffic toward your website. Many of the sites allow you to customize your blog in regards to layout, colour scheme, fonts, photos, audio, video etc…Personalizing your blog will help in branding yourself and your business. The key to building a successful blog is to work at it consistently by adding new content and updates regularly. Blogs with lots of activity tend to have much better search engine ranking than those that aren't updated. In fact, highly trafficked blogs can move up in search engines more quickly than most websites, which is a very good thing for a home-based business. Build your blog one post at a time and your business will reap the rewards.

Are You Recession Proof?

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 04:52:00 +0000

Let's face it, unemployment is a constant threat,
entire industries are down sizing, the stock market is as
unstable as ever and it's not over. One of the richest men
in America, Warren Buffet said it best, "this downturn could
last 8 years". Do you honestly believe that you won't
be affected? You are beyond the problems and the economy?
Let me ask you a question. If you lost your job tomorrow
and I don't care if you're a CEO, dental hygienist or a
plumber.

If you lost your job tomorrow and couldn't find work for
let's say 8 weeks, would you have enough money to
survive?

Yes or no? If the answer is yes, what if it took you 16
weeks? 52 weeks? If the answer is no, guess what? You
need to make more money now. This is not rocket science.
It is reality. And according to the statistics, it is the
reality for the majority of North Americans because if you
run out of money in a slow economy, you will suffer. Your
family will suffer and your kids will suffer, but you got a
great job right? You are recession proof, right? Wrong! I
don't care who you are or what you do, in a weak economy
the rules change because lets face it, if you work for
somebody else, if you have a job, how secure could you
possibly be? Think about it? If they find someone faster
than you, cheaper than you, you are out of a job.

So what are your options?

Option #1, go out and get a second job. Sure why not, but
chances are you won't even make enough to pay the taxes,
the additional child care or even the extra mileage on your
car. And that's if you can even find a job.

Option #2, sit back and do nothing, you got a 401k or an
RRSP. Okay, you can always relax and rely on your
investments, unfortunately that was a great plan, but have
you checked it lately? Don't forget, your money is not
sitting in some magic vault where it gets sprinkled with 8%
interest. It's in the stock market, the risk market. And
guess what, when the market goes down the tube your money
goes down with it.

Option #3, start your own business. Great, all you have to
do is lease an office, buy a phone system, get an
Accountant, inventory, warehouse space, employees, etc…
That sounds like fun, right? And with 95% of small
businesses going out of business in the first year, good
luck. Or, of course you can buy a franchise, a proven
system, marketing tools, training… good option if you got
one hundred thousand to a million in cash lying around. You
can become a freelancer or an independent contractor, great
if you have a marketable skill and the patience to be a
salesperson, bookkeeper and collections manager. Bottom
line, starting a business from scratch is tough and risky
work but owning your own business is the only way to take
control back, the only way to control your time, cash flow
and quality of life.

Those people out on the golf course at 11am on a Thursday
or the people fishing with their kids at 3pm on a Tuesday
or the people driving the Mercedes and porches, chances
are those people own there own business and the good news
is, you can too.

Look, countries were built on small business. Working for
someone else, be it a corporation or the government is a
relatively new phenomenon.

Owning your own business, being your own boss, that's
financial independence.

So, what are the options for the rest of us, what kind of
business could the average person get involved in with
little or no capital investment, with little or no business
experience or expertise, part-time or full time? A
businessthat will give you the chance to make some real money. What
ever that means to you, a thousand extra a month, a
thousand extra a week or even a 6 figure income. Let's
face it, money changes everything. It changes the car you
drive, the vacations you take, and the school your kids go
to.

When you are the boss your life changes dramatically.

You decide when you want a pay raise, you decide when you
work, what time you get up, what you wear. You decide, not
them. Bottom line, you can do it. You can take control of
your life. Find out more about this business, a business
that you can own, that you can start part-time, with no
employees, no headaches and a very small investment.

Join the v-Fusion Group today!

Let's face it, you can live in fear of the economy or you
can control the economy, it's your choice. What's your
"plan B"? You may not have as much time as you think.
But whatever you do, do something because the government
isn't going to save you. Your boss isn't going to save
you, it's simply up to you.

Call or email us today to discuss the possibility of
joining the v-Fusion Group and embarking on the road to
success!

The v-Fusion Method – Lesson 5 –Free Traffic With Social Bookmarking

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 03:19:00 +0000

What is Social Bookmarking?

Social bookmarking is very similar to “Add to Favorites” or “Bookmarks” that you are most familiar with using your web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. The bookmarks you create in your web browser are stored locally and can eventually become somewhat cluttered. Social Bookmarking allows you to store the information online so you can access it from anywhere, at anytime. Most importantly when you bookmark a page within a social bookmarking site, you are allowing your bookmarks to be seen across the web.

Social Bookmarking is not new but it has recently come to the forefront with web 2.0 as a way to get traffic and back links on demand. It’s a reliable way to get free traffic to your websites.

There are many social bookmarking sites, some are more popular than others but they all function in the same way. They allow you to bookmark any page that you deem interesting and then add tags to describe the contents of the page. The tags act as a way to quickly find your bookmarks without remembering where you put them. This is why the bookmark sites allow you to assign more than one tag.

Your personal bookmarks are shared with the public, hence the term “Social”. When you bookmark a page, other people can also find the page if they enter the same tag that you classified it under.

Let me demonstrate how this works and how it could benefit you.

You bookmark the pages of your own website using specific tags (keywords) because you feel it contains valuable information. I surely hope so! If other Internet users bookmark the same pages, it is safe for us to assume that the page may be interesting to other users as well. There is a ranking system on these Social Bookmarking sites that move pages higher in ranking that have been bookmarked by several users. If several hundred or several thousand people bookmark a page, then that page is ranked even higher as it is considered to have extremely useful information. A page on your website can effortlessly find itself on the front page of the social bookmarking main page sending thousands, sometimes over a million visitors to that site in one day. Since it is measured to be a well sought out page via the Bookmarking sites, the page will also carry serious ranking weight with Google and other major search engines.

Bookmarking the pages of your own websites will place your site in front of people that are looking for your kind of content. Other people who find your content compelling will bookmark your site making it rise in popularity rewarding you with more and more free traffic.

Some people will find your content interesting enough to place a link from their website to your website giving you a relevant one-way back link (one way links directly to your site). If back links to your site increase significantly, your organic ranking position with the Search Engines will also increase. Back links are a very important factor for Search Engine ranking.

Social Bookmarking websites like Digg and Del.icio.us represent the opportunity to get a lot of traffic fast, with high value and high quality linking to your website. Social bookmarking sites offer the best type of web traffic, viral. Business owners know that the most reliable customers are the prospects that come from the referral of someone else. That’s what online bookmarking sites offer and that’s what viral traffic or networking is all about.

Most Popular web 2.0 bookmarking sites:

http://www.blinklist.com
http://del.icio.us
http://www.furl.net
https://ma.gnolia.com
http://www.rawsugar.com
http://www.spurl.net

The Fusion Method - Lesson 4 - How to Generate Free Traffic with Press Release

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 04:49:00 +0000

Hello again,

If you have had any experience in public relations or marketing, you probably know how well press releases can work. There are many, many companies who have increased sales by 100%-300% in a matter of months simply through using press releases. Imagine what this could do for your business?

Writing press release has become a prominent way to drive targeted web site traffic. In fact, if you are not writing press release you are missing the best way to boost targeted traffic to your website.

Before the modern world of online publication, nobody saw the actual press release except for a handful of reporters and editors. The Web has transformed the rules. You now have the opportunity to write effective press releases that are directed to the people who are interested in what you have to offer.

In this lesson, we’re going to discuss and hopefully start using an online press release to produce traffic and generate leads. Press releases are a great way to generate free traffic and in some cases for very little cash. I like to call it “traffic for pennies”. The best part about this form of online marketing is that it’s easy to do and you will reap the rewards from doing work once for several months to come.

So, what is a press release?

A press release is a public announcement to the news media about a specific event with your business or organization. It can be the introduction of a new product or service or the explanation of an existing one, an upcoming seminar, a new partnership or a new website. The list is endless and the only limitation is your imagination.

A press release is usually a couple of paragraphs, up to 2 pages in length containing a link to your website at the bottom of the page. It’s made up of different sections starting with a headline, for example “ACN Canada Teams up With Google” (that’s true by the way). The headline is followed by the summary and then the actual content or body. At the end of the press release is your call to action. This section contains your contact information and a link to your landing page or website.

Let’s look at this in more detail.

Step 1:

The first thing you need to do is decide on a headline. The goal of your headline is to grab the reader’s attention. It needs to be sharp, to the point and eye catching. Capitalize Every Word Except for Prepositions. Ideally the headline should not be more than 170 characters and it doesn't end with a period.

It needs to contain the primary keywords that are relevant to your business. We want the press release to be indexed by Google and other search engines.

Step 2:

Create your summary. The summary paragraph is a synopsis of the press release in regular sentence form. Editors from submission services like PRWeb may read the summary to see if the press release is worth reading. Make it interesting!

Step 3:

Now it’s time to write the body of your press release. The body can be anywhere from a couple of paragraphs to 1 or 2 pages in length. The first paragraph known as the "lead" contains the most important information. You need to remember that in a press release, keep sentences and paragraphs short, about three or four lines per paragraph. The first couple of paragraphs should cover the who, what, when, where, why and how questions.

Try your best to avoid writing a press release that sounds like a blatant sales pitch. Most submission services won’t tolerate it and in my opinion, they are correct. Your goal is to provide enough information to entice people to visit your web site.

Step 4:

Creating your call to action.

At the end of the press release, include a short paragraph that describes your organization, contact information and a call to action. This can be a link to your landing page or web site where the reader can acquire more information.

Step 5:

Submitting your release.

Now that you have your press release written, it’s time to submit your work to various submissions services. The following are a few press release services. Keep in mind that some are free and some aren’t. There are press release services that are 100% free, but have paying options as well. I would experiment with both.

Have fun writing…

We would like to take this opportunity and congratulate Tyler Atkins, from Casper, Wyoming, on becoming an ACN Independent Representative and being part of The v-Fusion Group. Tyler is a devoted husband and father of two.

"I looked at many different opportunities. Then, one day when I wasn't even looking for a business, I found a company and a team that had what I was looking for. The v-Fusion Group offered non-stop support and training. I now have a product to market that I can get excited about, a compensation plan that, with a little hard work, will give me the ability to provide for my family in the way that I have always wanted. I am excited about my future. Not only the money and freedom, but also the fact that I get the pleasure of helping others find this same opportunity and freedom."

Your ACN business on NBC Primetime?

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:51:00 +0000

With 16 years of incredible success, ACN is making history once again with the recent leadership-training event in New York City on October 22nd, 2008. ACN will never be the same because of the event that took place in the Big Apple!

At the luxurious Capitale, New York’s premier setting for elegant events hundreds of ACN top leaders took part in the filming of a primetime TV show that will highlight the IRIS 3000 Videophone when it airs in the spring of 2009. ACN top leaders received a red carpet welcome as they arrived at the Capitale in extravagant stretched limousines to take part in the show. The energy was contagious as they prepared for this history-making event.

ACN Co-founders Greg Provenzano, Tony Cupisz and Mike Cupisz gave an incredible ACN leadership training that the representatives said they would never forget.

Debbie Davis – Regional Vice President & Circle of Champions Member

“I am so excited about today, it’s unbelievable because I’ve been here since the very first day ACN started. This is very surreal for me; there is nobody on the planet that would have ever made me believe that sixteen years later, we would be standing in this hall, about to tape a show like this.”

With the explosion to come with this reality TV show, the founders prepared the leaders to bring the message to their teams.

Michael Bisutti – Senior Vice President & Circle of Champions Member

“I think it’s absolutely ridiculously cool! It’s an unbelievable experience! I’m blown away that this whole thing is happening. It’s kind of like a dream really, thinking about where ACN has come from. I got started nine years ago and to see how ACN has evolved as a company back when we were just providing long distance and the money being just a forth of what it is today. Now we’re offering every kind of telecommunication service including Videophones; we’re pioneering that.”

During an exclusive dinner, representatives were overwhelmed with the unprecedented growth this promises to bring to their organizations.

Selma SAX – Team Coordinator

“This was probably one of the most fun things that has ever happened to me. It was such a privilege to be here and so much fun! We are just so excited with what this is going to mean for our company that we dearly love, but also for our organizations.”

Patrick Maser - Senior Vice President & Circle of Champions Member

“This is really going to open up the whole world to what we’re doing, everyone is going to see what we’re about and the opportunity we’ve got in hand. I’m just so excited. Everyone I talk to can’t believe we are here right now.”

Simon Abboud - Senior Vice President & Circle of Champions Member

“We just know that if we talk to a lot of people within the next four to six months, before this actually airs on NBC primetime, when it gets out, the people that worked the hardest are going to be the ones that benefit the most.”

Al Lobato - Regional Vice President

“What ACN is positioned to do within the next 12 months is going to be absolutely out of this world. I don’t think the industry has ever seen anything of this size.”

Cindy Ellsworth - Regional Vice President

“Anybody who understands the value of what happened today and how huge this is will understand that this is going to be the beginning of an amazing flow of revenue.”

Janel Presant - Regional Vice President

“I know that being featured on an NBC primetime reality show with the videophone and the leadership will simply explode our businesses.”

As president Greg Provenzano told representatives in New York, ACN is entering a whole new league, one that will witness the rise of a new generation of leaders.

It’s clear, something special is happening in the life of ACN. The question is, are you ready?

The Fusion Method – Lesson 3 – How to Generate Free Traffic Using Classified Ads

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 13:50:00 +0000

Imagine this, you’re a business owner, and your website includes a landing page to generate leads. You may also have a product for sale and you’re very determined to be successful online. Unfortunately, you have no idea on how to generate traffic and simply put, you are the only one visiting your site! You are not alone. A significant number of website owners don’t know how to drive traffic. Luckily, it’s not that difficult. With the correct training, the right resources and a some effort, you can drive tons of targeted, free traffic to your site. The key word is “targeted”.

If you can learn how to do this (I know you can), your business will quadruple!!!

There are many free and simple ways you can drive traffic to your website or landing page. You need to get your URL (site address) everywhere that you can possibly think of that’s 100% free.

Classified Ads are one approach to generating free web traffic. Hundreds of sites exist on the web for placing a Classified Ad. Many of them are free. Your challenge is to determine how extensive you want your Classified Ad campaign to be. How much time do you want to spend?

You have a large selection of regional, national and global Ad sites from which to choose. A lot depends on the audience you are trying to attract to your web site. Most Classified Ad websites offer headings under which you place an Ad, similar to how traditional print media works. Attracting the right audience depends on how relevant the heading, or headings, you choose are.

Craigslist.org is the largest website where you can place free Ads in various cities across The United States and Canada to generate interest for your product or business opportunity. In fact, it’s ranked the 39th most visited website in the world on Alexa.com. That’s some serious traffic for your business! Other free Classified Ad sites are kijiji.com and backpage.com.

There are some risks you should be aware of. Some Classified Ad sites are actually schemes to generate email lists. Placing an Ad could get you more junk email than web traffic. Being a target for junk email is a risk you run just by being active on the net. We recommend you do a search on Google and stick with the classified ads sites on the 1st and 2nd pages. Look through some of the categories to verify the amount of Ads placed. This will give you a good indication whether the site is worth the time and effort.
Whichever method you use to drive traffic, your efforts must be consistent. Don’t expect huge results overnight. Be patient and remain focused.

As an ACN representative with the v-Fusion Group, we will show you how to effectively write and place Ads online. You will also receive prewritten ads that you can use to grow your business at no cost. Most importantly, we will also show you how to properly place multiple listings, leveraging your time.

I hope you enjoyed this lesson, talk to you soon.

To your success,

The Fusion Method - Lesson 2 - Autoresponders

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 04:24:00 +0000

In lesson 1, we discussed using a form on your landing page to convert visitors to subscribers and potentially subscribers to customers or business partners. We stated, “Many web sites would be better off if they focused on establishing a long-term, one-to-one relationship with their visitors rather than try for an immediate sale”. This is a very important point, now let’s jump ahead 6 months to a year, your email marketing campaign is doing extremely well and you managed to create a list of 1000 subscribers. How on earth will you keep in touch with 1000 people?

It’s simple, with an autoresponder.

You may have heard about autoresponders on the internet by several people and how you can use them to grow your business online. But what actually is an autoresponder?

It’s quite simple; it’s a piece of software that gives you the ability to set up a sequence of prewritten emails that are delivered to your subscribers at regular intervals. The emailing is done automatically for you. This doesn’t mean that it writes the emails for you and it doesn’t involve spam or sending unsolicited email. When a visitor fills out the form on your landing page, the autoresponder software registers the visitor as a subscriber and immediately begins to send the prewritten emails at the times that you specified in advance. For example, you may have 30 emails where the first email is sent immediately after the visitor subscribes and subsequent emails every third day. So you write the emails one time and then anyone joining that list will automatically be sent those emails for the next 90 days. If subscribers choose to unsubscribe, all of that is taken care of without you having to lift a finger.

You may have heard this before, Internet marketing gurus say that the money is in the list. This is not by accident. The online marketing specialists know that this is fact. The more people you have on a mailing list that are interested in your products, services or business opportunity, the more success you’ll have.

Without an effective email campaign, visitors will land on your homepage or somewhere else on your website and they’ll look at your offering, but the majority of your site visitors will disappear. So unless you can get them onto an opt-in mailing list, either a course or free information that is of multi-part format, the chances are you will have lost them forever.

I may have said this in the past but here it is again; people buy from people they like and trust and in Network Marketing people join you, not your business opportunity. Your subscribers will come to know you and grow to trust you over time as you send them more and more information. The longer you can maintain this relationship with them, the more successful you’ll become.

Using an autoresponder also saves you the costs of printing, posting and packaging and enables you to contact and keep in touch with your entire list around the clock without actually having to do anything. Using autoresponders is one of the best ways to automate your business and 'multiply' yourself, in effect.

Regardless of how many visitors you now have, you simply must work towards capturing as many 'opt-ins' as possible. What can you offer your visitors? There's many ways to accomplish this. What's important is providing a strong enough incentive so your visitors willingly provide their name and email address, so you start building a list, one of the all-important goals for any business owner. Sometimes, the incentive is simply an incredible business opportunity not to be missed! :)

In addition, most autoresponder systems also allow you to send out the occasional 'broadcast' message to your entire list, when you have news or a special offer you want them to know about. And that doesn't cost you anything extra!

At the v-Fusion Group, we use www.getresponse.com. You can visit the site for more information.

Please remember that when you join the v-Fusion group, your autoresponder is free and we supply all the emails for your own email marketing campaign. Our more creative representatives participate by submitting emails that everyone in the group can use. We truly work as a team.

However, an autoresponder is quite useless if you’re not generating traffic in order to build your list. How do we get people to land on your landing page? We discuss low cost traffic generating techniques in subsequent lessons, stay tuned!

The Fusion Method - Lesson 1 - Landing Pages

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 19:27:00 +0000

Do you know the number one reason so many people fail in business?

I was sitting at home listening to an audio recording of a marketing seminar hosted by Harv Ekler. He asked the audience what type of business they were in. People shouted; Real Estate, Investments, Skin Care, Message Therapy, Fitness Training etc… His response to that was, “All incorrect, all inaccurate, you’re in the marketing business!”

Anyone who owns a business is in the marketing business. What they shouted out were the products and services they were marketing. Marketing is the key component to a successful business. I heard a man say once that if he could teach his kids anything at all, it would be marketing and promotion. Master these skills and anything you do in life you will be successful at. Whether you realize it or not, you are marketing yourself each and every single day, agree?

Let’s begin by discussing landing pages.

A landing page, also referred to as a capture page is exactly what the name implies. It’s the page your website visitors arrive at after clicking on an Internet link. Visitors can also be directed to your landing page using other forms of media such as newspaper, magazine, classified, radio, etc… Somewhere in the ad would have to appear, in bold and large letters, the exact URL of your landing page.

The objective of a well-designed landing page is a call to action. The final result should be for a visitor to opt-in to your email campaign or newsletter. You can offer free advice, services or products etc… get the point? You do this by adding a form on your landing page where visitors enter their information, often a name and email address. They become subscribers, enabling you to keep in touch with them, and eventually make them long lasting and loyal customers. Many web sites would be better off if they focused on establishing a long-term, one-to-one relationship with their visitors rather than try for an immediate sale.

Your landing pages should provide a customized sales pitch for the visitor. It is important to precisely identify your market in order to provide them with valuable content. By providing a good match, your chance of engaging the visitor increases as does the chance of obtaining a new subscriber. A combination of valuable content and an aggressive e-mail campaign draws visitors to your site over and over again.

In addition, landing pages enable you to accurately measure the results and ROI (return on investment) of an Ad campaign. With the right tools, you can precisely determine how many new visitors uniquely came from an ad campaign and accurately compute your final conversion rate.

When launching any major Ad campaign, be it local, national or international, the use of landing pages is an effective way of obtaining accurate results you can rely on, if implemented correctly.

The Fusion Method - Internet Marketing Strategies

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 03:25:00 +0000

If you haven’t already done so, please go to http://www.success.thevfusiongroup.biz/ and fill out the form to view the online business presentation. If you are interested in evaluating a business opportunity or actively seeking to supplement your income on a part-time basis, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

We will assume that after watching the corporate video and business presentation, you are familiar with the business opportunity. We would like to take this time to discuss the methods we use to build our business and attract customers, something we like to call the Fusion Method.

The Fusion Method is merely fusing together off-line traditional marketing strategies and on-line Internet marketing strategies for the network marketer. My team and I believe that leveraging all resources available to you is the only way to build a large organization.

ACN has a remarkable training and support system in place for customer acquisition and business recruiting. They currently have training centers all over Canada, the US and Europe. In addition, ACN provides business owners with a comprehensive back office filled with training materials that include videos, power point presentations, training documentation and other valuable resources. We refer to this as the off-line traditional marketing tactics mentioned previously. When you combine the ACN opportunity, the training and support system and the strategies we use to generate traffic on-line, you basically have a system in place to build a very successful business.

We will concentrate primarily on Internet marketing. These methods are fundamental principles that can be used to generate traffic to any website and improve search engine ranking regardless of the type of business. When you start your business, we will provide you with:

Your own URL (ex. www.yourname.thevfusiongroup.biz)
Web Hosting
Lead Capture Pages
Auto Responder
Postcard Templates
Internet Marketing Resources

Our Internet marketing objective is to constantly find and improve effective ways to generate tons of free traffic. This information will be available for all our business partners. However, Internet marketing requires constant effort and dedication. We can’t possibly generate traffic for you but we will surely assist you by providing the tools and resources necessary for you to be successful.

WARNING: Don’t believe business opportunity advertisements that promise systems like “Completely Automated!!!” or “Never Speak to Anyone Ever Again!!!” You can’t exclusively build a network marketing business on-line without picking up the phone or meeting people face-to face at some point. Remember this, people decide to join you, not your business opportunity. Position yourself as a leader and people will contact you.

The first thing you will need is a landing page to turn your visitors into leads. We will discuss landing pages in Lesson 1 of this series.

Stay tuned…

To your success,

The Future of Network Marketing

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:20:00 +0000

Is it true that the Multi-Level Marketing Industry is dead? According to a WMI (Wealth Masters International) representative, it is. Or, is this a marketing strategy to entice individuals seeking a business opportunity to join their 2-tier Network Marketing model? Is this an attempt to convince people that Multi-Level Marketing is not a viable option?

Well, I’m here to tell you that Network Marketing, 2-tier or multi-level is not dead and both can be very profitable. Both business models are actually stronger then ever and capturing the attention of highly successful business people.

For example, Robert Kiyosaki author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad” has endorsed the industry and I quote;

“You have a very important role, that is of personal development, of educating people, and giving people some degree of financial stability and hope in this very economic turbulent times."…"keep up the good work. What you do is vitally important.”

When he said this, he was addressing an audience of more then 15000 Network Marketers at an ACN international training event.

These people understand that creating distribution channels in Network Marketing to get products to customers is a very cost effective alternative compared to tradition methods. More importantly, it’s a gateway for the average person to potentially become financially independent without the large investment required in a traditional business.

This leads me to the misconception people have of the term “financially free” or “financially independent”, probably one of the reasons why people shy away from Network Marketing. For some people, “financially free” or “financial independence” means becoming a multi-millionaire. There’s a problem with this, what’s the problem? It’s unbelievable, far fetched… to good to be true. Unfortunately, this is the way people were conditioned to think. No ones fault, most of us were raised very conservatively.

Financial freedom is simply a well-planned lifestyle. It’s when you have the time to enjoy what is most important to you. A person no longer required to work for income to cover expenses is financially free. This could mean a 50 000$ a year income or 150 000$, it all depends on your current lifestyle. Network Marketing gives you this opportunity because the business plan revolves around attaining residual income. Possible? Absolutely! But like any other business, it does require work! Believe me, from what I’ve seen in this industry, it’s not far fetched with a solid business plan and work ethics.

Just for the record, according to our WMI friend, he claims that Mr. Kiyosaki was not referring to the Multi-Level Marketing Industry when he said he believed it to be a great opportunity. I’m here to correct him on that one. Mr. Kiyosaki spoke at an ACN international conference and believe me, he understood that ACN is a Multi-Level Marketing company and probably one of the best opportunities available today and years to come.

If you want to know how to attain real financial independence not a get rich quick scheme, visit www.success.thevfusiongroup.biz or give me a call, 5149472754.

BCE to cut 2500 jobs, more coming ... do you believe you're job is secure?

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 05:57:00 +0000

Another corporation using its employees as the first asset to get rid of in order to cut costs. When speaking with young graduates who want to get a good job, or individuals who have been in the work force for many years, it amazes me how many of them think that they will, or they have "job security". I honestly believe the term, "job security", is a thing of the past. With multi-billion dollar mergers, outsourcing to low-cost alternatives, and rising costs to run a traditional business, a job can be taken away for good or found elsewhere for a lower cost.

I have personally experienced it. Back in 2003 at the company that I used to work for, I survived the first round of layoffs that included many senior and middle management losing their jobs. I was not fortunate enough to survive the second round. I was a productive worker, with great customer relationships and good internal reviews, but it all came down to one thing...profit. The company wasn't doing well, so it had to think about itself. It wasn't concerned about my new born daughter, my rent, or my car payments. The CEO and company were happy, since cutting jobs brought down the yearly expenditures and showed a profit for the shareholders. Upper management was happy, since they were untouchable ... or so they thought, but that's a story for another day.

It eventually occurred to me that working for someone might not be the best way to become successful. I started to read, educate myself by going to McGill University, and learnt that business ownership is a way out of the "rat-race". I teamed up with some brilliant individuals to create a dynamic and growing team. Learn more about our business by clicking "The v-Fusion Group". I don't mean to scare you, but I found the following links by just checking the news for this month...actually, it is scary.

July 28, 2008 - BCE is announcing 2,500 managers will be leaving the company. The layoffs, part of a restructuring to make the company make decisions faster, representing approximately six per cent of Bell’s 54,000 workers, or about 15 per cent of management. These changes include the reduction in executive positions. NEWS LINK.

July 28, 2008 - Air Canada's planned layoffs of 632 flight attendants this fall - including the closing of bases in Halifax and Winnipeg. To offset the rising cost of oil and weak demand for trans-border travel, Air Canada announced a seven-per-cent reduction in capacity and the planned layoff of 2,000 workers. NEWS LINK.

July 28, 2008 - GM said it would close the Oshawa pickup truck plant and cut about 2,600 jobs next year. NEWS LINK.

July 15, 2008 - Canadian and U.S. central bankers warned of tougher times ahead on Tuesday as the slumping North American economies suddenly appeared more vulnerable to job loss, financial failures, inflation and weaker consumer spending. "Layoffs are rising sharply and the fear of unemployment is palpable. Daily announcements of major layoffs accompanied by record-high gasoline and food prices as wealth destruction continues have driven U.S. consumer confidence down to very low levels." NEWS LINK.

My Product Sponsored a Business Partner!!!

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 13:56:00 +0000

I thought I would share a fantastic story of a product at work! This is a perfect example of having the upper hand in a competitive market. A member of our team decided to work from Starbucks here in Montreal one day rather than at home. However, he needed to make a few phone calls to members in his team, so he decided to take his IRIS 3000 videophone with him and connect it directly to his laptop. In minutes, he was working and speaking with one of his partners, not to mention seeing him as well. Sure enough, a gentleman from Halifax, studying French in Montreal took interest at what he was seeing. The gentlemen asked him what it was and where he could get one. My friend asked him two questions, “Are you a visionary?” and “Do you want to profit from this technology?” In minutes, a business relationship was born and in time may flourish into something great!!!

How to Capitalize and Make Money on one of the Greatest Technology Shifts of our Lifetime.

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 03:17:00 +0000

Business is all about timing. When a product comes out, and the timing for it is good, the possibilities to make money off of that product are endless. I always hear people saying; “I wish I could have known about the Internet boom, I would have made millions!” or “I’ve heard of cellular phones 15 years ago, I should have bought stock in Qualcomm or RIM…”. If there was a way to know what the next big thing is going to be, would you be interested in finding out? Of course you would, everyone would.

There is currently a major technology shift going on at this moment. It is a technology shift that happens once in a lifetime and when there is a major shift, there is major money to be made. There will be many people that will capitalize on this shift; do you want to be one of them? I’m positive you do.

From the music industry, to the photo industry, to the cell phone industry, we have seen devices going from their old analog technologies to their new digital technologies. Record players and tape decks have advanced to digital MP3 players such as the Apple iPod. The camera industry has gone from their film based technologies to digital technologies. Walking into electronic stores, you can’t even find a record player or a camera using film (maybe on eBay?). The cellular phone industry moved from their old analog infrastructure (remember the DynaTAC “BRICK” phone!) to an all digital network.

The next major digital shift is going to happen in an industry that hasn’t really changed in the last 100 years. The residential phone market is going to change dramatically from households using an old analog service to a digital, Internet connected, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service. The benefits and cost savings of a VoIP line considerably prevail over a traditional analog phone service. VoIP will permanently change the world of telecommunications.

"VOIP represents the most significant paradigm shift in the entire history of modern communications since the invention of the telephone." — Michael Powell, FCC chairman
Now I know what you’re saying, “With this huge technology shift, how do I make money from VoIP?” The business model is actually quite simple and is easy to learn and follow. Not only will you learn how to make money from VoIP, but it will teach you how to make money off of regular phone service, cellular phone service, Wireless AirCard services, high speed Internet service, and even Satellite TV services! It was a real eye opener for me, and I'm extremely thankful to the person that introduced the opportunity to me. Please click on this link and follow the procedures to view a free online presentation on this exciting opportunity. Do not wait to long, this technology shift is currently happening and many people, just like you, are going to make very good money from this shift. Do not ask yourself 5 years from now, “I’ve read that article 5 years ago, I missed the cell phone boom, I missed the Internet boom, and now I missed the VoIP boom, WHY DIDN’T I CLICK ON THAT LINK!?!?!?”

The Perfect Product?

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 17:08:00 +0000

I apologize if this may appear as a sales pitch, but I’ve been getting emails and phone calls from other network marketers persuading me to partner with them in their business. I respect your decision in joining whichever network marketing company you choose, but it is vitally important that you believe in your product and there are some products I simply cannot support for various reasons.

Personally, I do not feel comfortable with wellness products that my customers need to swallow. In the past, I heard some horror stories. If it’s not FDA approved, I won’t get involved. Don’t get me wrong; I’m okay with natural medicines but up to a certain point. There are some really great companies out there offering wellness products, but I’m not interested in consumables, explained in more detail below.

Financial services, I’m not an expert! It is difficult to believe that a Network Marketer can become an expert in 3 to 6 months. I simply do not feel comfortable giving financial advice when finance experts spend years in the industry practicing their trade before they are in a position to give accurate financial guidance. Remember, you’re dealing with people’s finances. I don’t want to be the person who destroys a family’s financial future.

Cosmetics / lotions etc… etc… give me a break!

Please, don’t misinterpret what I’m saying. I’m not knocking these industries; I’m simply stating my opinion, what I’m more interested in and what I believe is a product worth selling with a minimal amount of effort. I’m familiar with many network marketing companies selling these products and some are worth evaluating.

As far as residual income is concerned, this is truly a no-brainer. I would rather provide voIP service with a 1-year contract and collect commissions every month without having to resell or deliver consumable products. This is also true for wireless service, analog lines, TV and Internet. Imagine collecting commission on a 100$ expense each month from thousands of customers without having to resell a thing! And, customers can sign up for digital or wireless service on-line without my assistance.

A service versus and consumable product, no arguments here! That’s not all, now how many people do you think use a phone, surf the net or use a wireless phone. What an open market!!! I urge you to capitalize on it, especially videophone technology.

Feel free to call me or email me at anytime. We are looking for leaders and people who want to seriously take control of their financial future.

Network Marketing Essentials - Part 5 - Training

noreply@blogger.com (The v-Fusion Group) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 03:12:00 +0000

Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.

Will Durant

In Network Marketing, you succeed by helping others in your organization succeed, there is no other way. Think of yourself first and you will lose at this game. The key to success is training, education and duplication.

Training is an on going process consisting of weekly training sessions, conference calls, newsletters, product documentation, and business training materials. Training is critical to helping your team stay focused and motivated. The Network Marketing Company you are involved with should provide most of the tools required for your success. The entire training program should be simple, so that it can easily be duplicated.

As our organization grows, we make having regular training sessions a habit. We recommend covering the following topics:

- One of the most important things you can do for your team is to keep them motivated. To do this, remind each person in your team what their “why” was for starting their business. Make sure the reason for joining will propel them through the most difficult times.

- Goal setting. During the meeting, ask people to share their goals. Make sure that the goals are realistic and measurable. Lead the group into a discussion on how every person can attain their goals.

- Review the procedures to effectively demonstrate the product, roll play if need be. It is important for everyone in your organization to fully understand the product or service. This includes the business opportunity as well.

- The issue of recruiting should be discussed in every training session, and your team should be allowed to share with the group their successes and failures in this area. One of your partners may be on the edge of dropping out, fearing that his recruiting failures are unique and incurable. However, fifteen minutes of group discussion may show him that he is not alone.

- At the v-Fusion Group, we provide on-line and off-line marketing strategies for our organization. We also offer free landing page templates, sizzle cards, internet training material, etc… etc… and our commitment to anyone who’s committed in marketing the business and services. Some topics that we cover are:

In a nutshell, keep it simple, motivate, educate and duplicate.

Have fun building your businesses and remember Network Marketing isn’t a race. It doesn’t matter when you make it to the top, as long as you make it!

Sincerely,

The v-Fusion Group
