3 WAYS to build YOUR Email List FREE

NEVER underestimate the value of having your own email list.

Your email list is your most important asset when you are marketing online.

Let me show you 3 FREE WAYS to build YOUR own email list for FREE. YES, it's all FREE.

1.)  CAPTURE PAGES

FIRST you do need a capture page, a website where prospects can enter their email address to have access to more information. This is VERY important. You need a way to "capture" email addresses of your 'leads".

I have just the tool for you ;-) It is FREE and is called the "FREE LEAD SYSTEM".

The system is already set up for you with capture pages, sales pages PLUS you receive an autoresponder with pre-written emails to follow up. I have also banners for you you can use, if you want to promote your FREE LEAD SYSTEM in traffic exchanges, or pay per click sites, revenue sharing sites etc. 

2.) SOCIAL MEDIA

A different way to get FREE leads is by posting in social media, for example, post on your Facebook timeline about the project you are working on, working with, the program you are having success with,

share your results, what you have learned, how the team helped you etc..., then offer to send information by email, and ask your Facebook friends who are interested, to send you a private message with their email address. VOILA, then copy paste the emails to your email account/contact manager.

To save a LOT of time, check out my blog post about Gmail's Canned Responses and how it works.

When you email to your list through your email account, do not forget to use BCC and to add a "unsubscribe" option to your email.


3. ) BLOGGING

Have you tried blogging? Start your own blog, for example with Blogger, or Wordpress.... I love using Blogger, and here is why?

First, it is very easy to set up, Blogger has great step by step instructions, you can choose from different templates, choose different back ground, you can customize the fonds, and colours, you can make it "mobile" friendly with one click of a button... 

Secondly, Google search engine LOVES Blogger ;-), US members can add their own domain name (the rest of the world hopefully soon too). You can integrate Google Analytics and site feed. You can post or share your blog on G+, ...  (Go to blogger.com, check the support link for the getting started guide.)


Anyway, here you have 3 FREE ways  to build YOUR own email list. Once you have your list, you can promote and share any offers, opportunities, online programs, .. with your list.  Best is to combine all 3 ways I shared with you here today, the blog, capture pages, and social media.

And here is my TIP of the day:  Do not make the mistake and build other peoples' lists! Why would you build a list for somebody else, when you can do it for yourself? When you promote programs or opportunities without having YOUR own capture page, you lose all leads to the company you are promoting. Better build YOUR own, now you know how.

Focus on building your list of leads and prospects, most will start following you for years to come. :-)

There is Power in Creative Visualization

What exactly is creative visualization?

According to Wikipedia, Creative visualization refers to the practice of seeking to affect the outer world by changing one's thoughts and expectations.

Creative visualization is the basic technique underlying positive thinking and is frequently used by athletes to enhance their performance. The concept originally arose in the US with the nineteenth century New Thought movement.


One of the first Americans to practice the technique of creative visualization was Wallace Wattles (1860–1911), who wrote The Science of Getting Rich.

In this book, Wattles advocates creative visualization as the main technique for realizing one's goals ...

Creative visualization is a mental technique that uses the imagination to make dreams and goals come true. It is a power that can change your life and your circumstances. The Power of creative visualization can cause events to happen in your life, for example it can  attract success, money, prosperity, abundance, people and love into your life.

Creative visualization is the process of using your thought power to consciously imagine, create and attract to yourself events which you want to and intend to experience in your life. Once you have mastered creative visualization, it will  give you direct control over your thoughts at the subconscious level. Since the beginning of time, everything that you, or anyone else has ever created , began first with a thought, with a vision of the outcome.

Creative visualization is the most effective technique to change your subconscious mind and to see results.

How does creative visualization work?

When you repeat thought again and again, your subconscious mind accepts these thoughts.  Once accepted, your subconscious mind changes your mindset accordingly, and this has effect on your habits and your actions, for example brings you in contact with new people, and attracts new situations and circumstances.

This shows that thoughts are creative and your mind attracts what you think about repeatedly. What does that mean? Think about it for a moment: This means that your thoughts can come true! Not all your thoughts, but those that are focused and often-repeated. These focused thoughts are energy.

Change your REALITY with creative visualization

Change your thoughts and you change your REALITY.  How? Let's say you want to start a new business, or buy the new car you always wanted. Write down all the things you want to accomplish this year. Now read this to yourself every day out loud, and visualize how that feels having already reached the goals, how does it feel sitting in your new car, do you smell the new car scent?

How does it feel receiving cheques in the mail daily from your online sales? How does it feel loading your debit card from your funds arriving daily into your STP or Payza account?

It's like creating a detailed movie in your mind of the NEW SUCCESSFUL and PROSPEROUS YOU. The more details you can visualize, the better. Imagine every detail, how does it feel, the colour, the style.... Believe it with all your heart as if it were already true.

No matter what your goals and intentions are, visualize them every day. You will find that one day, your visualization will become a reality!

This is to YOUR Success!

3 Do Nots for Internet Marketers

…and wannabes.

I think it is time to remember a few points of real TRUTH behind Internet Marketing. To stop wasting your time on a bunch of  lame and disappointing products that don’t or can’t do a thing for you to get you hopping on the fast track to success.

[ By the way, when I say the words "fast track to success" I DO NOT mean you will be making hundreds, thousands, or millions of dollars by tomorrow night. You have just about a good a chance of that happening as winning the lottery... ]

1.) Don’t Believe … 

…That You Can Log Onto The Internet And Start Earning BIG Income After Putting In 15 Minutes Of Work.

Simply put. . . .

It Ain’t Gonna Happen. Period.

Because…what is the very last word in the title?  WORK.  Working online is just as time consuming and task oriented as an offline job. Sometimes it’s even more work!
There’s no “magic bullet” or pill that will magically transform you into a multi-million dollar earner overnight. If you’re not willing to put forth some effort on your own part, you might as well just quit while you’re ahead of the game.

It takes a serious commitment on your part if you honestly want to have an online business. It also takes a lot of skills you have to learn, and money to invest into your business. Yes. It takes all those things. And if you’re not ready for it, don’t like the way it sounds, or seriously believe in the “get rich quick myth”, then don’t attempt to start your own business because you’ll be sunk within two weeks.

2.)  Don’t Expect …

… To Make Money For Free.

I’ve seen this time and time again. Thousands of people hopping onto the internet expecting that they can somehow make money starting from $0. To be honest, this really isn’t plausible if you honestly think about it.

Every single company has to have cash on hand to start up their business with. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. Whether they have to buy supplies, advertising space, or products to resell to their customers, all of them have to have real money to purchase this stuff with.

It’s no different with an online business. You STILL HAVE TO HAVE MONEY TO SPEND IN ORDER TO SEE A RETURN. It’s basic economics here. With that being said, you also need to know WHERE to spend your money for it to do you the most good and see the most profits as a result of spending it. So, be choosy where you spend your money. Just know that you need to have it in order to make it.

There may be the one or other exception, for example you can find and start with a free program where the owner does pay you a commission for upgraded referrals, it does exist.  When you then use these funds and put them back into YOUR online business, that’s OK, but also know, that this takes a bit more time.

 

3.)  Don’t Dwell …

… Negatively On Your Online Flops Or Failures.

This is a tough one. Many people are already pre-conditioned to dwell on their own personal failures in life. But you need to develop a system of working through, and more importantly, past them. >>> Let it go. File this as EXPERIENCE you are learning from.

If you have started something, or with a program and it does not work out and fizzles out, then just get started working on your next project. It’s really no bigger a deal than what you yourself make it out to be. In a few weeks time, you will be on your way with your next one, which will be bigger and better than the last, right?


Now that’s the spirit!

No matter what, I wish you all the best, and hope that you have the greatest success. Never give up, believe in yourself, and you can succeed!

The Best Side Effect of All...

Are you called to be a leader?

Do you know where you are supposed to go? I am sure, often we are not aware of our purpose, of our abilities, talents and skills we are able to learn. You are not here by accident. (How often have you heard this, but is it true for you?)

Joining different MLM's, nothing really seems to work, it is easy to blame the company, the product, the upline.

May be you have to practise more? Growing into the leader you are supposed to be? Learning the leadership skills while building your business, and it can be slow in the beginning. Just keep on doing the right things.

The reward? You will become the leader to your downline, to your group, the best side effect of it all is....., new team members will join you!

Cheers!

Do you love what you do?

Let's face it.

It's no fun dragging yourself out of bed for another
workday that will be no different from the last...

Being stuck in traffic for what seems like forever, only to

get to work where you get almost no respect from your
boss and little or no satisfaction from your job.

You arrive home after sitting in traffic yet again, tired,
aggravated, and frustrated, and grunt your hello to the
family with little enthusiasm.

Sadly, most people live like this day after day.

However, there is a better way... a way to be free from
the strains and hassles of this lifestyle, and to do
what you love...

And then feel free to give me a call or drop me an e-mail if you
have any questions.

winners from the losers." Brian Tracy

BRANDING YOUR BUSINESS

Branding is the process of establishing your business as the supplier of a certain product or service, or in emphasizing a certain USP (Unique Selling Proposition) as it pertains to your business.

If branding and USP seems to be a confusing concept, think about Wal-Mart and their tag line: "Always Low Prices, Always."

Think about Ford Motors, "Quality is Job One."

Think about the Visa Card, "It's Everywhere You Want To Be."

You see, these top corporations have managed to make their USP part of their branding.

Even if you are only competing in a local marketplace, your USP can and should fit snugly into your branding strategy.

Learn how to BRAND yourself, how to fund your marketing, how to set up a blog, how to set up your online marketing campaigns and much more


Meet with "gurus" and network with team members, grow your biz!

How to Be the Head and not the Tail

You know how it is, you are at work, you get frustrated because things don't seem to be happening the way they’re supposed

to be. You see people milling around but nothing gets accomplished. And in the daily hustle and bustle, do you feel that your goals remain just that – goals. Then maybe its time for you to stand up and do something about it.

Most people are content just to stand around listening for orders. And it isn't unusual to adopt a follow-the-leader mentality. But maybe, somewhere inside of you, you feel the desire to make things happen – to be the head, not the tail. Then maybe leadership just suits you fine.

Some people believe that great leaders are made, not born. Yes, it may be true that some people are born with natural talents.

However, without practice, without drive, without enthusiasm, and without experience, there can be no true development in leadership.

You must also remember that good leaders are continually working and studying to improve their natural skills. This takes a commitment to constantly improve in whatever endeavor a person chooses.

First of all, let's define leadership. To be a leader, one must be able to influence others to accomplish a goal, or an objective.

He contributes to the organization and cohesion of a group. He encouraging others towards the goal of the organization. It is about putting everyone on the same page and helping them see the big picture of the organization. You must be a leader not a boss.

First of all, you have to get people to follow you. How is this accomplished?

People will only follow you if they see that you know where you are going. Remember that bumper sticker? The one that says, don't follow me, I'm lost too? The same holds true for leadership. If you yourself do not know where you're headed to, chances are people will not follow you at all.

You yourself must know the vision of the organization. Having a clear sense of hierarchy, knowing who the bosses are, who to talk to, the organization's goals and objectives, and how the organization works is the only way to show others you know what you are doing.

Being a leader is not about what you make others do. Its about who you are, what you know, and what you do. Its about the trust and confidence your subordinates have of you. If they trust you they will go through hell and high water for you and for the organization. Trust and confidence is built on good relationships, trustworthiness, and high ethics.

The way you deal with your people, and the relationships you build will lay the foundation for the strength of your group. The stronger your relationship, the stronger their trust and confidence is in your capabilities.

Once you have their trust and confidence, you may now proceed to communicate the goals and objectives you are to undertake. Communication is a very important key to good leadership. Without this you can not be a good leader. The knowledge and technical expertise you have must be clearly imparted to other people.

Also, you can not be a good leader and unless you have good judgment. You must be able to assess situations, weigh the pros and cons of any decision, and actively seek out a solution. Good decision-making is vital to the success of your organization.

Leaders are not do-it-all heroes. You should not claim to know everything, and you should not rely upon your skills alone. You should recognize and take advantage of the skills and talents your subordinates have. Only when you come to this realization will you be able to work as one cohesive unit.

Remember being a leader takes a good deal of work and time. It is not learned overnight. Remember, also, that it is not about just you. It is about you and the people around you. So, do you have the drive and the desire to serve required of leaders? Do you have the desire to work cooperatively with other people? Then start now. Take your stand and be leader today.

Last night I could not sleep….

Usually I sleep very well, thank you. But last night I could not sleep. It is no full moon, may be too much excitement? However, I was laying there, tossing and turning and thinking….thinking…millions of thoughts racing through my brain.One of Ozzie''s (my brother in law) favorite questions is: "What keeps you up at night." Hm, should I get up and turn on my PC again?

And then I was struck with amazement, thinking about my online friends all over the world. How I was sleeping in rainy and cold and dark British Columbia, where my online friend Spencer is most likely sitting in College on a hot day in India. We met 2 or 3 years ago in a forum. Having great brainstorming sessions together online, exchanging ideas, messaging back and forth almost every day and sharing our successes. Or Brenda in New Zealand, we both are living in a "gum boot capital". My prosperity team mate Carrie in California, my business associates in England, Australia, on the East Coast….I love the Internet!!

Yes, I am very exited about that. And about the fact, that we all help each other, make more money online. COME and JOIN US!
