Happy New Year to all. The month of January is almost over  and The New Year Resolutions have all but evaporated as we go about our daily lives.

I've been busy looking at new projects and will be updating more frequently on providing you with more reviews on the projects I'm working on.

If you have promised yourself to get something started, whether it be your very own network marketing business, or any business for that matter - you really have to take the first baby step forward, and then take the next baby step forward, and so on and so forth. Nothing gets done if you don't do it so let's co-create something if you're interested. Look out for something new on the horizon from me!

I am glad that you stopped by and wish you a successful 2010.
 
 
I remember watching a video of Mike Dillard admitting that he didn't want to be the kind of sales rep that everybody loves to hate, and so he decided to do it with technology and the most underestimated language of marketing - copywriting.

With technology, he meant the Internet with the usage of Adwords. In effect, he pretty much implied that he didn't like to go out and meet people and do the cold calls. Now how many of you out there totally agree with him? I do. I don't like being sold, but I love to buy, and what makes me want to whip out my credit card are well chosen words pushing all the hot buttons on what I'm looking for. And of course, I don't have to go out and meet anybody unless it's something I can't find online.

If you type in a search term like "copywriting" - you'd be flooded with like 5.76 million hits (as of this writing). There are so many copy gurus out there you'd probably suffer from information overload. Names like Ted Nicholas, Joe Sugarman, Gary Halbert,  Claude Hopkins, John Carlton, Michel Fortin, Gary Bencivenga...and the list goes on and on.

As well, with the recent FTC guidelines in place since Dec 1st, this has pretty much thrown the marketing world in disarray about what constitutes "typical results," which appear to be the main stink when including testimonials. To date, having subscribed to Magnetic Sponsoring and Renegade Network Marketer, I noticed that the common thread between the two is one copywriter that they both highly recommend and work with - and that's David Garfinkel. You won't find his name out there in the lights like Gary or Ted or Joe, but you will find that what he has to offer will be simple and easy to understand and follow (this is an unsolicited endorsement).

With David, Magnetic Sponsoring has created The Copywriter's Guild, and with Renegade Network Marketer, The Ultimate Copywriting Crash Course. So, you might want to seriously consider learning about copywriting if you want to bring your business online, or starting it online, or generating leads without cold calling. Heck, you might even make it your home-based business if you master this!
 
 
After a while of going through Ann Sieg's The Renegade Network Marketer (listened to the audiobook about a dozen times and read the ebook a few times) and associated items that go with (Renegade Network Marketer System) - I felt that it's really worth the purchase. To top it off, I recently received snail mail (postcard) from one of her associates as a follow up, it's a consolation despite the length of time it took for them to do so. I guess they must've been busy with the Breakthrough Mentoring Program and Coaching Cognition Course as well...

The material in the RNWM (Renegade Network Marketer) ebook may read very normal, but it really is packed with truths about the industry and how we can elevate it to a more professional level, inclusive of the system that comes with it and training tools and tips etc. The gist of it is to teach you how to build a business first BEFORE and to establish yourself as a leader.  Note: You can use this information to build a business OUTSIDE of network marketing - it doesn't just apply to network marketing itself. For $67 and a 90-day money-back guarantee, it should be a no-brainer to check it out.

My question is probably about the location I'm in (Malaysia) where traditional marketing (mentioned in the book) is still very much entrenched, apart from the culture that goes with it. Though Internet Marketing (and broadband penetration) is growing in the country, I am wondering how I can apply all of these in a local context. Of course, I wouldn't mind sponsoring overseas, but I'd like a more personal touch closer to home first prior to overseas...stupid question perhaps.

Still, if you haven't read The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing, you can find it here. It's a free ebook and you can let me know what you think. Might be gold, might be crap - you be the judge.
 
 
Ann Sieg recently had a sale of her Renegade Network Marketer ebook/audio to her subscriber list for half off. I decided to take it up and go through the material. The initial impression of her RNM ebook is good and am up to Chapter 7 in the first round (she says to read it at least twice).

It's good content - and it covers the trials and tribulations of the "average network marketer" and the industry gurus who don't quite tell you everything. I can resonate with some of her horror stories about the old way of "building the business" and will see what she has to say toward the end of the ebook.

A full review is on its way after I have digested her information.
 
 

Seems like there's quite a number of launches and upgrades on the network marketing front between the two giants(?) i.e. MLMTF2 vs RBMP/RPro.

One must get really tired and confused and wondering who will provide better value for the investment. Both have their "money back guarantees" or "free test drives" etc. etc.

If you're at the crossroads or missed the boat - nevermind - there will always be another launch coming soon. All I can tell you in a nutshell is that newbies who want to be led click by click can go look at Renegade Pro while those with some experience can look at MLMTF2 or any on the stable for Mike Dillard.

A quick rundown for Mike Dillard's products from easy to technical - Magnetic Sponsoring, Building on a Budget, Black Belt Recruiting, Project PPC Domination and MLM Traffic Formula 2.

Mike Klinger and Ann Sieg's products are Renegade University, Renegade Professional and Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring Program. RBMP of course,  is presently closed until the next time.

So take your pick. Choose one group and run with it, or if you dare, choose one part of each to see which one works for you.

 
 

MLM Traffic Formula 2 was closed over the weekend while Mike (Dillard) was away on holiday in Alaska. He felt that he should explain MLMTF2 to you in detail in a content packed webinar this Wednesday June 17th. He's also going to open up registrations for the course at the heavily discounted price for one last time so do register for the webinar. If you have no plans on buying at least you can get some good info from the webinar that you can use.

 
 

Mike Dillard's MLM Traffic Formula 2 is now live and the price will multiply in about 4 days. If you get in now you only pay $297 as opposed to $997 that it will be going for after the 7-day run. As I'm already committed to the Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring Program, I won't be after this until I'm through with RBMP.

Both are excellent programs - choose one and stick with it. No point wasting money on shiny new objects. Mike won't take your money if you're not serious - and you're better off without it if you are already on another program like I am. If not, give it a try. You got 60 days to decide if it's worth your investment - heck, you might even have it paid for by then WHEN YOU TAKE ACTION!

Remember, only when you take action by following through does anything work. Hoping and praying won't change a thing.

 
 

Ferny Ceballos is one of two prominent network marketers that use technology for lead generation and being very very successful with it. He helps others with lead generation through a number of courses but in particular, SEO.

You can find out more about Ferny and SEO at SEO Networker. Here's some solid gold content from Ferny recently about profitable relationships via social SEO. It's all about giving and not wanting, and getting back more than you bargained for (aka Law of Attraction). I truly believe that we should serve others first because that's where we find our purpose in life, whether it be in network marketing or any other venture we want to get into.

 
 

As you well know, apart from Ann Sieg and Mike Klinger's Renegade Professional Program, the other celebrity within the network marketing circle is Mike Dillard of Magnetic Sponsoring.

Mike's updated his information on his bestselling traffic (and lead) generating course, MLM Traffic Formula to Version 2. If anyone who's applied what he's put into this will know how valuable it is. He is now giving away his secrets to success in a 38-minute video with no strings attached. If you're just curious to find out without committing anything, go take a look at MLM Traffic Formula 2.
I'm gonna to be updating my info when it launches. See you at the top!

 
 

With the recent successful launch of Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring Program, Ann Sieg and Mike Klinger has followed up with a second launch of this program for serious network marketers (whether newbie or veterans) to take them to the next level. Mind you, the price for mentoring should be higher but they've made it down to earth enough for only serious network marketers.

Are you serious about your business? If you are and you do apply what they are willing to share with you, I don't think it's a problem to get your ROI back within a month or two. Give it a go.
