Ray Higdon Review

AppId is over the quota

Ray Higdon is not new to Multi Level Marketing but he has never succeeded like he has now. When Ray got involved in the Numis Network he had $300 in his bank account and a troubled Florida real estate career. Ray was losing everything and really didn't know what he was going to do. Turning to the power of the Internet and attraction marketing he quickly moved to the L4 status in My Lead System Pro (MLSP). Ray is also the #1 income earner in NUMIS winning 5 vacations and a $100,000 2011 BMW 7 series.

Ray struggled in almost a dozen MLM's with limited success. With the training of MLSP and attraction marketing Ray has been able to recruit over 130 reps using the Internet in a mere 14 MONTHS. The best part is the duplication of his distributors (personally sponsored) that have turned into over 3600 reps by teaching them a duplicatable system tied to online prospecting.

You'll find Ray very involved in the business today. He is the presenter on live webinars that occur several times per week and is available by phone to talk with your prospects. Ray also does training sessions during the week. Ray is an incredible speaker and teacher won't tell you to do anything he hasn't done himself. This is a man that gives back in a huge way. You can tell Ray is Passionate about what he does.

Ray seems to always be prospecting. He does it on and offline and is always looking for the next person to talk to. I would guess he personally talks to around 20 people per day. He has his website on the back of his car, he uses $100.00 bill drop cards in Barnes And Noble and even puts them in Books. He is not afraid of getting a "no" because he knows it gets him closer to a yes.

This business currently has no competition and has a product, Gold & Silver that is talked about every single day. Our current economy has produced an incredible amount of prospects. People are losing their jobs, their homes and claiming bankruptcy at an alarming rate. They are amassing huge amounts of debt with no way out. You may be the one person who can help turn their life around. Talk to everyone, you don't know what their situation is.

I made a point to align myself with the incredible leadership of Rays. I learned that if you surround yourself with successful people that you start to become like minded with them. Who do you hang around with? What kind of people are they? What kind of money do they make and what do they give back to the community.

Internet Marketing Tips - Avoid Spamming People

Avoid Spamming People

With so many people moving towards an online community to get goods and services, Internet marketing tips seem to be on the mind of small business owners and affiliate marketing talent alike. If you're in either one of those categories, it's important to look into options that will get your information into the eyes of millions of potential friends and customers. While some skeptics will scoff at the notion of getting free advertising, many large companies have figured out the best way to get promotion is to befriend others through free profiles on social networking websites.

Success without spamming people

Most recently, in an issue of Money Magazine, a small business was highlighted as getting an increase of 200% in profit through simply giving away their software in exchange for a social media shout out. With so many people taking advantage of this, and so many users talking about it on their social media page, the company become profitable nearly overnight, and millions of new potential customers came to their website and purchased other items.

If you want to duplicate that kind of success, you'll have to figure out what internet marketing tips will work for you and what won't. There are several do's and don'ts that are applicable to situations of marketing potential. For instance, you do want to engage people in conversation about what it is you and your company do, but you don't want it to be so transparent that you're selling something to someone. If you're not selling anything, but rather are trying to communicate with a new user base, you'll find that spamming people is easy.

If you simply send a message to a stranger, even if they seem interested, you could be labeled as a spam artist. In the marketing world, the spam title is a major blunder that you want to never have to deal with. Instead of sending people blind messages, make sure that you engage all friends and neighbors in any social networking site with sincerity, and do not mention what you're promoting for quite sometime.

Let the conversations happen over time, naturally. It will take some savvy, but you can get any one to be interested in your content, if you simply engage them at a social level that is not pretentious in any way. The easiest way to facilitate this is to simply comment on their posts, pictures, and communicate with them through simple questions and answers.

Don't over complicate it by spamming people; it's not that hard.

Internet Marketing - Use Message Boards

AppId is over the quota

There are numerous concepts that come under the umbrella of Internet marketing like banner advertising, Search Engine Optimization, e-newsletter, etc. One of the simplest and least expensive strategies for online promotion is using message boards. In this article, we will discuss how message boards can be used as an Internet marketing strategy.

Message boards are basically online discussion sites which are used by people for online interaction to discuss their problems, learn new strategies, ask questions, provide advice, etc. These boards are developed by keeping particular niche in mind that can be anything like basket ball team, Internet marketing, essay writing, current events, jobs, television shows, etc. Message boards are popular among Internet marketers as these are used to reach the target audience.

Suppose there is a board that focuses on website promotion. So mostly people who are interested in promoting their website join this board to interact with other website owners and promoters to gain knowledge.

By actively participating in the message boards you get a good opportunity to promote your business and website. This is because while replying for a particular post you can place the link of your website at the end of the post that is in the signature line. This is important because there are numerous people who visit boards daily.

Before starting with the message board it is important to register with the site and check all the guidelines. Some message boards have strict guidelines which you have to follow to avoid termination of your membership. Take care to include links to your website wherever it is relevant. Do not make the board look spam by replying to all the posts by placing the link. If you do this, then the visitors may start ignoring your website or this can even lead to the termination of account.

Also, keep all the posts professional. This is because if you act professionally, then only other people will take your seriously and reply to your post. This does not mean that you just act professionally in the messages which include the link. You have to be professional in other posts also. Reply for the posts only if you are confident that the information you are providing is absolutely correct.

Message boards are the only marketing strategy that is simple and free.

These Next 5 Minutes Will Be Worth Thousands For Your Business

I often get asked: "what's the fastest and best marketing channel you know of (to get more clients & business)"?

Of course, without understanding their unique situation, a blanket statement will not work. Imagine if I said that SEO or PPC were the best options, always.

That would be biased, and not serving them well.

However, there is one answer that is true in ALL cases, NO MATTER WHAT.

It's the one answer that will be of great value to you and your business...EVERY TIME!

Let's dig in, shall we?
Most business owners in the U.S. realize that innovation and effective marketing are the two characteristics that can make or break a business, especially an online one.

In the past, business owners were able to rely exclusively on offline marketing strategies like Yellow Page or newspaper ads. Not anymore!

Nowadays, the most successful business owners are those that incorporate offline and online marketing strategies to reach their clients. These individuals use today's technological advancements like auto responders to stay in touch with prospects and existing clients also.

This is because auto responders allow busy business owners to keep clients and prospects in the "loop" about company discounts, special offers and a host of other information easily and quickly. And, the best part is that busy business owners can use a "set and forget" approach while their auto responders do the marketing for them. If you are considering using auto responders in your marketing arsenal, there are certain things you must do to ensure that your auto responder campaign is successful.

Yes, I'm talking about email marketing and relationship building.

Your power goal should be this: get them to "know, like & trust" you. (you knew that, right?)

Here are your action steps today:

1. Make the sign up for your auto responder irresistible and visible.

After all, what good is a sign up page if no one sees it? Always make the sign up page easy to see and attractive so that your visitors are compelled to enter their information right away. Incentives like a free online course or eBook, a special announcement, money-saving coupons, are a wonderful incentive to use on the auto responder sign up page.

2. Make each message powerful.

From the very first message to the last, always provide your readers with value.

Be careful to not bombard your visitors with too many marketing messages. Instead, balance marketing messages with quality messages too. The best marketing ratio is 4 quality non-marketing messages to every 1 marketing message (however, this should be tested, as every market is different, and you will be in different stages of your marketing/relationship program). This way, your reader will be more likely to "trust the sender" and more likely "act on the special message". Plus, they won't see you as a spammer.

3. Use a reliable auto responder system.

Although there are free plug-ins in Word Press and most web host providers have free auto responder systems, I've found that paid web based auto responder services tend to be more reliable and easier to use. For instance, Aweber.com and Getresponse.com are two of the best-paid auto responders that you can use. Higher end systems include InfusionSoft (my favorite) and Office Auto Pilot. These provide the user with the ability to personalize and schedule emails, enable the owner to view data about auto responder requests, provides great up-time and delivery rates, and enable owners to filter leads and access their subscriber list from a secured online location.

4. Always include an unsubscribe feature.

Although most paid services provide this service automatically, many free auto responders do not. To keep yourself from getting labeled as a spammer, always make it easy for your clients or prospects to unsubscribe from your email messages.In conclusion, marketing your website using auto-responders and with useful, helpful information is a really great idea. Just make sure that you provide your website visitors with an incentive for them to opt into your auto responder, use a reliable system, carefully schedule your messages and always include a way to unsubscribe. By doing this, you will be more likely to reach your target audience without alienating them.

Are You Frustrated With Network Marketing?

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Network marketing can be very frustrating for some people. Many people struggle for years in their business and some give up entirely which is heart breaking to see. But, there are reasons for that. First of all, people need to understand that network marketing or internet marketing is very difficult. It is not as easy as some people pretend it to be. A lot of that is due to the environment that we are in. Let's not forget that the challenges of network marketing and internet marketing is exacerbated by the continued sluggish economic condition of the US, and the really frightening economic outlook for the US. This creates a lot of anxiety among people, even the most brave and entrepreneurial minded business owners succumb to that fact. Indeed, the sluggish economic condition of the country is like a huge pillar of dark clouds that is never ending. There are bright and shiny moments every now and then, but the experience of the last four years show that we are nowhere near the end.

Having said that, there are other factors that contribute to the high rate of failures in the industry. First, it is important to note that, internet marketing is a vast field. It is so vast and so huge that few people can get their head around it. So, why is that important? It is important because if one wants to excel in a particular field, you have to understand a lot of the intricacies of the field, you have to understand the overall outlay of the territory, and all the important components. This leads me to conclude that the number one reason why people fail in network marketing is because they don't understand internet marketing. And because they don't understand internet marketing, they don't know what they have to do to succeed.

This is what creates the frustration with network marketing. So, when you hear someone saying to you that network marketing don't work, or it is a scam, just remember this. The person who is saying that to you is someone who has failed because he/she did not understand internet marketing and did not acquire the necessary knowledge and expertise necessary to succeed. In order to get results in network marketing, a lot of things have to happen. Keep in mind that we are all not going to succeed on the same level, or at the same pace or to the same extent. There are those individuals with exceptional skills and talent, who knows internet marketing like the back of their hands. Those individuals will be enormously successful comparing to others. It is very important not to measure your success based on someone else's success.

What you can do is to focus on improving everyday, depending of your level of knowledge, it may take a few months, six months, nine months or a year before you adequately understand internet marketing. At that point you will be able to implement a strategy that yields results. So, not only do you have to understand network marketing and internet marketing, you also have to acquire a lot of knowledge and a lot of skills. There are literally hundreds of things you have to learn, skills you have to acquire and expertise that you have to master.

People fail, because of lack of knowledge, lack of skills and expertise which in the end amount to not knowing what to do. There is no clear strategy for what they're doing. In internet marketing, you need to have a clear strategy in order to yield results. The strategy begins by understanding the vast field of network marketing and internet marketing, and how you will rally people to your corner. Another critical component for success is TIME AND EFFORT. This is very simple and need no explanation. It takes a lot of time and effort to succeed on the internet. So, if you are not putting a significant amount of time and effort in network marketing and internet marketing, don't expect to succeed, because it simply won't happen.

There is a learning curve to internet marketing. Someone who is very good with programming, who knows search engine optimization, how to build websites, and advertisinig on the internet will no doubt be at a great advantage. So, take your time with it, learn everything you need to learn and acquire skills and expertise in the field. This is important because, you need to have Value Added Expertise that you can put on the table in order to rally people to your side, to your business.

Social Boom by Jeffry Gitomer - Big Bang for Your Buck or Just Another Dud?

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Social Media 101 plus some

In this book the title promises the reader that reading this book will help you to "master" business social media, which is a huge claim since mastery of anything implies that you are the best of whatever it is. Reading this book will not do that unfortunately. But what this book will do is provide creative and sound fundamentals to start implementing a social media practice into your business right now.

As I mentioned in previous book reviews, I judge a book's value by the number of colorful little tabs I have marked in the book while reading. These tabs represent new ideas or concepts that I want to make a special note of or parts of the book that I would like to visit again to research further. This book had a large number of tabs! Many of these tabs introduced me to a new idea or a tip, which is great. However, in the case of this book many of these tabs represent concepts that are already widely known but still a fundamental idea I wanted to note.

I'd like to give the author a break regarding subject matter complexity since you never really know what level of expertise the reader has on social media. It is always good to go over the fundamentals, which Gitomer does, but he also gets about as complex as you can with this topic as well. As someone who has been studying social media for quite some time, I understand going over fundamentals like this get's tedious and boring, but it is still worth revisiting. There is very little new in the book but Gitomer does add a few fresh ideas to tackle your social media plan. I particularly liked the chapter dedicated to LinkedIn which is, in my opinion, an important social site for business. LinkedIn often gets left out of other social media books or is just barely mentioned, but in Social Boom the features and approaches for LinkedIn networking are outlined well.

Social Boom reads well for a motivational business tool book. The chapters are short, the tone is aggressive (sometimes a little arrogant), and the author provides breaks in the reading with special hints, tips or single page power messages. The flow and organization of the book is perfect for a learning tool because it's a fast paced read. The author uses highlighting, shadow boxing, large fonts, and bullet pointed lists to the max, but it works on a topic like this where the learning strategy is about repetition and focus, rather than in analysis.

Summary

Overall I liked the book, specifically for getting refreshed and re-motivated with my social media plan. There was nothing earth shatteringly new but nevertheless a good fast paced approach to cover the basics and Gitomer does bring some fresh perspectives and ideas to the table. The book only took me one evening to read, so it moves fast due to the salesy big font styles and short, but valuable, chapters. This is a great book to give to your employees or just get for your own library. Keep it on the shelf, place mark your favorite highlights and re-visit from time to time to pick up a little motivation.

Forum Marketing Will Help You Bring Targeted Traffic To Your Website

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

When people ask me how they can get targeted traffic to their website, I often answer back with a question. What have you been, and what are you doing now to get targeted traffic and visitors to your site. I'm always complete surprised by all of the different methods people use, often costing them hundreds if not thousands of dollars in memberships and fees. Equally as surprising is that most people don't ever consider the positive effects of forum marketing.

Forum marketing in my opinion, is one of the best ways to get really targeted traffic to your website. What are forums? Forums are online communities where people with the same interests or hobbies get together and chat. You can think of it as a sort of digital message board. You create an account, post a question or comment on a topic, and others can respond to you. It's being part of the conversation. And you're having that conversation with like minded people who are interested in exactly the same thing. In fact, with enough work, it could easily surpass many of the often used marketing methods.

What better place to engage potential customers or clients than on a forum what is right on the topic of the product or service you are offering? I can't think of any better way to actually talk to your potential customers. Rather than making a sales pitch to them, you can engage them by asking questions. What they like or dislike about a product or service. How they would make it better or what they would need in order to choose one service or product over another. The responses you'll get will often surprise you, and give you a truly unique insight in to the minds of the people you are trying to target. If you're on a video game forum for example, and see that a lot of people are looking for a specific accessory for a game system or perhaps a game they've wanted for some time but can't find anywhere else. You can find the products they are looking for, chat with them about the products, and then ask them to visit your online store, where you have that product in stock.

If they have questions or comments about specific products or services in your industry, there is no better way to make yourself an authority by answering their questions and responding to their comments. You'll be viewed as the go-to guy when it comes to information pertaining to the topic, and your recommendations will go a long way, even if you are recommending your own product or service.

Forum marketing helps you build trust with your customers. If you're out there and giving out valuable information for free, they will be more compelled to come to you when they need more - even if it means having to pay you. They'll trust you already. They can look at your interaction on the forum and will be able to see that you know what you're talking about, and that you've helped other forum members in the past.

Equally as important however is also the fact that forum marketing can be completely free. It won't cost you anything to join and be part of the conversation. You don't have to pay to help potential customers. All that's needed is a little bit of your time. And what better place to spend some of you time than on a forum filled with people who are interested in, talking about, and wanting to buy what you have to offer.
