Many aspiring Internet marketers hear all of the talk about earning a six-figure income and assume that it’s all hype. Some of it is hype, but earning a six-figure income really isn’t difficult. I’ve watched friends generate “six figures” in sales as we sat together in conferences or meetings! 

So I wanted to share this with you.  Nothing to buy, you can get access to 5 sessions with top Big Ticket Experts.

It’s been a bad year and there are no signs of it turning around any time in the near future.

Layoffs, Foreclosures… skyrocketing prices on everything from gas to trash bags…

Families drowning in debt and being kicked out of their homes…

We’ve all heard these depressing facts over and over for too long. Everyone’s hurting, and nobody knows what to do to fix it.  On top of it all, we’ve got an election coming up and neither candidate is making me feel particularly secure about the future.

What you need is the ability to create some cash in hand right now, and a proven, solid, and sustainable system for putting more cash in your hands in the future.  I’m not going to make any guarantees without knowing what type of attitude you’re bringing to the table. I’m confident in knowing I can sit down with just about anyone and within 45 minutes or less, I can recommend at least 3 different ways they can create additional revenue for their household or existing business (complete with a plan).  I can also share the key points in Prospecting, Sponsoring, and Email Follow Ups.  The stuff most people get horrible feedback from.  It’s all in THE COURSE

To Your Success,

– T. James –

Regardless of how you look at it, the most important aspect of any successful mail order business is its advertising. In fact, mail order success is wholly dependent, and even predicated upon good advertising.

First of all, you’ve got to have a dynamic, spectacular ad that attracts the eye and grabs the interest of the people you’re trying to sell to. Thus, unless your ad really “jumps out” at the reader, your sales won’t live up to expectations, and your ad money will be wasted.

The eye-catching appeal of your ad must start with the headline. Use the headline to very quickly create a picture in the minds of the reader–a vision of all their problems being solved, and attainment of the kind of happiness they seek.

If your headline fails to catch the attention of your prospect, you cannot hope to capture him with the remaining of the ad, because it will go unread! So in writing your advertisement for must a little while, so you must quickly interest him in your offer, show him how he can get what he wants, and then cause him to send immediately for your “solution” to his problems. Your copy must exude enthusiasm, excitement, and a positive attitude. Don’t be afraid to use a hard-sell approach! Say what you feel and believe about your offer. And use common, “everyday,” but correct English.

Even so, you can and must remember to be honest. Don’t exaggerate or make claims you can’t back up. Never make promises you cannot or don’t expect, to keep. To do so could get you in trouble with the Federal Trade and Fair Practices people.

Stress the benefits of your product or service. Explain to your reader how owning a copy of your book (for instance), or receiving your services will make his life richer, happier, and more abundant. Don’t get involved in detailing all the money you’ve spent developing the product or researching the information you’re selling, or you’re selling, or your credentials for offering it. Stress the “sizzle” and the value of
ownership.

It is important to involve the reader as often as possible through the use of the word “you.” Write your copy just as if you were speaking to and attempting to sell just ONE person. Don’t let your ad sound as a speaker at a podium addressing a huge stadium filled with people, but as if there were just one individual
“listening.”

And don’t try to be overly clever, brilliant or humerus in your advertising. Keep your copy simple, to the point, and on target toward selling your prospect the product or service because of its benefits. In other words, keep it simple, but clear; at all costs, you don’t want to confuse the reader. Just tell him exactly what he’ll get for his money; the benefits he’ll receive; how to go about ordering it. You don’t have to get too friendly. In fact, becoming “folksy,” and don’t use slang expressions.

In writing an ad, think of yourself as a door-to-door salesperson. You have to get the attention of the prospect quickly, interest him in the product you’re selling, create a desire to enjoy its benefits, and you can then close the sale.

Copywriting, whether for a display ad, classified ad, sales letter or brochure, is a learned skill. It is one anyone can master with a bit of study, practice, and perhaps some professional guidance.

Your first move, then, is to study your competition, recognize how they are selling their wares. Practice rewriting their ads from a different point of view or from a different sales angle. Keep a file of ads you’ve clipped from different publications in a file of ad writing ideas. But don’t copy anyone else’s work; just use the ad material of others to stimulate your own creativeness.

Some of the “unknown facts” about advertising–and ad writing in particular–tell us that you cannot ask for more than $3 in a short classified type ad. Generally speaking, a $5 item will take at least a one-inch display ad. If you’re trying to sell a $10 item, you’ll need at least a quarter page–perhaps even a half page of copy–and $15 to $20 items require a full page. If you are selling a really big ticket item (costing $50 or more) you’ll need a four-page sales letter, a brochure, separate order coupon, and return reply envelope.

If you’re making offers via direct mail, it’s best to get into the postal system with it on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday, to be sure it does not arrive on Monday, the first and busiest day of the week. And again, unless you’re promoting a big ticket item, the quality or color of your paper won’t have any great effect on the response you’ll get, but the quality of your PRINTING definitely will, so bear this in mind when you place your printing order.

One final point to remember: The summer months when people are most apt to be away on vacation are usually not good months for direct mail. But they ARE good for opportunity and advertisements in publications often found in vacation areas, and in motels and hotels.

Again, it cannot be stressed too much or often: Success in mail order does, indeed, depend upon advertising, and as with anything else, quality pays off in the long run. Read this report again; study it; let it sink in. Then apply the principles outlined in it. They have worked for others, and THEY CAN WORK FOR YOU!   If you’re looking to do this, I would recommend spending a few of you’re hard earned dollars on more research and the skills needed to make this work for you over and over again.  One resource I would definitely suggest is:  http://www.instantsalesletters.com/?52470.

This is so good I copied it word-for-word from a partner of mine. It describes a simple method that strips out all the complications when it comes to making money online… 

The good thing is, I can verify this system really works.  I do this myself and have been teaching similar methods to my team for over 4 years now.  But now it’s your turn..

I have been involved with IM since August 16th of 2002. Since January I have made no less than 2 thousand a month and as much as 17 thousand (in one month).

Currently, I am marketing to 3 different niches and follow the same plan for each one. I challenge anyone who is not making money to follow any type of organized plan of attack and not make money. It is impossible.

Here is what I do step by step. I will follow this by what I feel that I could have done in the beginning and would probably be making twice the money monthly. I just could not see the big picture.

1. Niche Research - This takes me all of 5 minutes. I go to clickbank and see what everyone else is selling (meaning a product with a high gravity and a good sales page.)

2. Keyword Research - Again, initially this takes me all of 5 minutes. Because my main traffic generation is article marketing i go to google and see what keywords are ranking high within article directories. Those are the ones I focus on while trying to target long tails.

3. I set up a Squidoo lens as my landing page. I also set up a hub page, a blog at blogger, and a free wordpress blog. I set and forget my squidoo lens but update my blogger blog, hub, and WP blog every other day or so. I link everything back to my Lens.

4. Write a minimum of 3 articles everyday for each niche.

5. Submit my Lens to 10 free directories a day to build my link popularity.

That is the exact process I follow and consistently get sales each and every day. By no means am I making a killing but, I am able to pay my house note and all of my utilities every single month which, is more than I thought I was going to be able to do. With the limited success I have had though, I do see IM as a way to replace my entire income and hopefully, be able to work at it full time.

I could be making so much more though but, admittedly I am a bit of a hard nose and frequently do not look at the big picture. Here is what I wished I would have done from the beginning.

1. Got my own hosting and domains. The reason for this is pretty simple. In addition to it being “mine” I could easily have had an asset that I could have sold at some point for a nice profit if I decided my time would be better spent in another niche. As it stands now I have nothing to show for all of the link building and SEO I have done. (best choice: Hostmonster

2. List building - Each of my three niches get at least 3000 visitors a month. By now, I could have had one heck of a list to market to. How sweet would it be to be able to be able to send an item once a week to these people? I lost a lot of money here.

3. Outsourcing - Again, this is a hard nosed moment for me. I wish I would have taken half of my profit and paid to have articles written and submitted for me. In the short haul it would have cut into my play money but, by now I have a feeling it would have paid me major dividends.

ANYONE can make money doing this. As a matter of a fact, a guy I work with asked me what the hell I am always doing on my laptop and I told him. He said he wanted to give it a shot so I gave him the same outline above and showed him where everything was. He has made 4 sales already in a matter of 6 days and is excited as you could be.

Over the last few months I’ve been researching a new lead generating “system”.  I have to be quite honest.  I’m impressed.  Check it out…

One of the hardest things in online marketing is probably to get your online business of the ground and let it run on autopilot.  Although I’ve done it before, it is still a big challenge for me whenever I start a new website.

Today, I’m going to show you how a new website put a simple twist to an old concept and achieve extraordinary results in less than 3 months.

The website that I’m talking about is Qassia.com.

Qassia is a new website started in January 2008. But today, it ranks 4,762 in Alexa ranking and has more than 4000 webpages listed in Google.

So what is Qassia?

Why are people crazy about it?

More importantly, what are the marketing mechanisms that are making people crazy about it?

Let’s see……

If I were to break down Qassia into its simplest form, Qassia is nothing more than a combination of an article directory and a link directory. (For newbies, some examples of article directories are ezinearticles.com and goarticles.com, and some examples of link directories are DMOZ and Yahoo!Directory.)

If you were to start another article directory or link directory, chances are you are going to fail because the idea is no longer novel and there are thousands of them out there.

Think about this: If you were to start an article directory, how are you going to find thousands of people to submit articles to your directory, especially when you are just starting.

But Qassia has done it. Qassia is hardly 3 months old, yet thousands of people are happily sending their unique articles to Qassia and eagerly promoting it to other online marketers.

The secret lies in its credit system.

Qassia positions itself as a free link directory that gives you unlimited one-way backlinks to your website for free. Why do webmasters like one-way backlinks? Well, backlinks are good for two reasons: 1) for direct traffic, and 2) for better search engine ranking.

The catch is in order to achieve better ranking for your backlinks, you will have to earn credits.

The more credits you earn, the higher your website ranks in their link directory, which translates to more web traffic to you (both direct traffic and search engine traffic).

See the twist in the system? That’s why people are working hard to submit articles to Qassia.

Similar to all other successful websites, Qassia also has a referral system. It’s the same old story. The more referrals you have, the more credits you earn and the higher your website ranks.

Does this concept work?

Check out its Alexa ranking. It’s moving up superbly fast. This means the website is receiving lots of traffic.

If you do a search on Google.com by typing in site:  www.qassia.com, you can see that it already has more than 4000 pages ranked in the search engines. Most of these are articles submitted by its members.

Whether this system is sustainable or not is too early to conclude. But it is set for a great start and I believe there is a great deal we can learn from this website, especially its marketing strategies.

This website is currently in closed beta and everything is kept secret to the public (I’m not sure if it’s another well-planned marketing strategy). There is no way you can signup Qassia unless you are referred by an existing member.

If you want to signup this website and see for yourself some other brilliant marketing strategies they’ve used, you can sign up through this invite-only link: http://mgmt.qassia.com/.

If you’ve ever wanted to know what a “definitive” course on recruiting looks like, and what it contains, then check out the description I put together for you below. 

• How six and seven figure network marketers close prospects on the phone without doing any “selling.”  (In fact, with Mark’s methods, the LESS you sell, the MORE people you sponsor!)               

• A sneaky way to get your competition to help you sponsor people into your business… without them even knowing it.
• How to sponsor people who have already decided NOT to join your business!               

• My “wrong number” secret that lets you sponsor FAR more prospects than you are now… and with a LOT less effort.
• Four words that will destroy your chances of sponsoring new reps — even the ones who already want to sign up!  (When I stopped saying these four words — that 99% of networkers say during calls — my sponsoring rate shot through the roof.)               

• The secret of getting your prospects so “fired up” about your business you can literally sponsor them without even saying what company you’re in or what product you sell!  (You may even have people call you a couple days later asking, “Ummm, what am I selling again?”)
• How to instantly “de-fang” loud and obnoxious prospects — and actually have them apologizing and pleading with you to show them the plan.  (This secret works even if they were dead set against networking before!)               

• Startling facts you MUST know about sales people before you talk to them about your business.  (Sales pros can be your best reps — but there’s a “trick” to talking to them if you want to sponsor them into your business.)
• How to “position” yourself as a network marketing expert before you even sponsor your first distributor!
• A weird (but effective) way to make money when distributors quit your team.
• Why the best time to talk to a lead is AFTER they’ve talked to other network marketers!  (If you do things “Mark’s way”, you will never again worry if other networker talk to your leads — in fact, you’ll actually prefer they do.)               

• A little talked about fear every human being has… and how to use it to sponsor even the most skeptical prospects.  (This tactic is often used by car salesmen, jewelers and other people who sell high ticket items.  And it works even better for networkers.)
  
• A brand new breakthrough (recently discovered by social scientists) that makes even total “newbies” irresistibly attractive to almost any prospect.  (This incredible little secret is how some new distributors are able to sponsor dozens of people right off the bat.  Here’s how they do it.)
• How to get your prospects to ask YOU to make their decision to join your team FOR them.  (This advanced recruiting technique makes sponsoring as easy as taking candy from a baby.  And you will probably never hear about this anywhere else.)               

• How to get people at parties and other social gatherings to approach you and ask about your business… Without you having to say a single word!

• How to sponsor people in your local community… even if nobody likes you and everyone hates your guts.               

• Nine words that let you instantly control ANY prospecting call.  (These nine words are like magic.  Your prospects will feel “lucky” you even took the time to call them.)
• Why you should almost never sponsor people who say they are “interested” in your opportunity.  (I admit it — this was W-E-I-R-D when I first heard it, too.  But believe it or not, when you stop sponsoring interested people, you will automatically see your sponsoring rates skyrocket.)               

• How to use an ordinary sheet of paper and a ball point pen to sponsor successful people, professionals and other business “authorities.”  (This has nothing to do with drawing circles or using the infamous “Benjamin Franklin close.”  It’s much easier than that, requires no effort whatsoever, and you will be astonished by how well it works on people used to being “in control” of conversations.)
• How hanging up on a prospect can dramatically increase your chances of sponsoring him!  (This technique works so well it’s almost spooky.  Just be careful:  You need to know how and when to hang up, and you can only do this with certain prospects.)               

• The one deadly mistake even experienced networkers make during three way calls that will destroy your sponsoring efforts.
• How to talk to people you are sitting next to on a plane about your business without scaring them away.  (And one simple “counter intuitive” thing you can do to get them almost begging you to show them the plan!)               

• How to get even your busiest up-line leaders to 3-way call your prospects at ANY time of the day or night.  (Even if it’s 2 a.m. in the morning!)
• When you should NOT send your prospects to a website presentation.  (Even if they ask to see one!)               

• How to “recruit” your mailman to help you sponsor new prospects.  (One guy recently built a huge downline in 30 days with this one secret alone.  Here’s how he did it, and why you can, too.)
• A secret way to almost guarantee your prospects don’t blow off your meetings and appointments.  (This will virtually eliminate no-shows and late comers forever.)               

• How to mentally “turn the tables” on your prospects so they sell themselves on YOU… instead of you selling to them!  (This amazing secret is used by every 7-figure networker on the planet.  Here’s how to use it in YOUR business — no matter how experienced you are now.)
• How to get the best and brightest prospects seeking YOU out — without spending any money on advertising.  (Just use this technique Mark teaches and you’ll have people coming out of the woodwork asking about your business.)               

• The single most important thing you must do (and say) if you are talking to a highly analytical prospect.
• The single most important thing you must do (and say) if you are talking to a highly skeptical prospect.
   
• An “almost magic” way to s ponsor hundreds of international reps
  before your company officially opens in their countries.

I had to put this article on here.   What a great subject !  I get asked dozens of times every month by ambitous network marketers (even in my own organization) from all over the world, “How can I motivate others to want to become more successful?”

Now as great as it might sound to be able to motivate someone else, the answer is, you cannot successfully motivate others.

You may inspire them, but motivation for them must come from within.

Anything less than internal motivation is like spray paint on rust. Eventually, when the motivation from an event or pep talk wears off, its a person’s committment that is left over.

You cannot motivate others to want to succeed any more than you can push a rope uphill.

Truth is, a person must first want it for themselves before they will ever become successful.

If you want it more for someone else than they want it for themself, this can become very unhealthy. (for both parties)

The key then to having motivated people on your team, is to be motivated yourself.

Being self motivated is the only surefire way to reach long term success.

Being self motivated means that you don’t require someone else to remind you of the opportunity you have in front of you.

Being self motivated means that you wake up every morning raring and ready to take on the day, create new relationships, market your business and show people how to get started.

Being self motivated means that you attend local events, regionals, conventions or trainings without having to be reminded that these events are taking place.

Being self motivated means that you invest in your education by reading good books, listening to audios and modeling successful people.

Being self motivated means that you take all out massive action, regardless of who believes in you, supports you or joins you.

Being self motivated means that you are inspired by your future and what is possible.

Being self motivated means being self determined.

Being self motivated requires that you are self functional.

This means that you must learn how to do business, learn the system and then go out and produce.

Some of the best tools I’ve ever learned from are the Ultimate Success CDs by Tracy Biller.

Tracy is the #1 Trainer in MLM / Network Marketing / Home Based Business when it comes to recruiting other Network Marketers from within our Industry.

I recently invested in his Information (for the 2nd time) and picked up a list of his MLM Genealogy Leads.

All I know is that if you ARE self motivated, self inspired and want to learn to become Self Functional, order Tracy’s CD Set.
