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.

“It’s the training”

Would you like to make $10,000 a month in network marketing? I’m assuming your answer is “yes”. After all, who wouldn’t want to work from the comfort of home, have total time freedom, and make $10,000 a month ($120,000 per year)!

Of course, perhaps you want to earn less than $10,000 a month? If you earn $5,000 a month in network marketing, that’s the equivalent of a $60,000 a year income, which is about double what the average person earns annually in the United States. Plus, you’ll be working from the comfort of home and have total time freedom. Perhaps you want to earn more than $10,000 a month? Well, if you’ve read any of my previous ebooks and newsletters, or if you’ve heard me lecture in person, or if you’ve heard me on any one of the hundreds of teleconferences I’ve conducted, or if you’ve heard one of my many audio presentations, then you would already know that my goal as a network marketer was to earn $25,000 a month. And you would know that I achieved my goal with two different companies, and twice became my company’s #1 earner.

You would also know that I achieved my goal not because I’m super smart (I’m not!), or because I’m an extreme workaholic (I’m not), or because I was born with the “gift” of networking (I wasn’t!).  As I have made known throughout all of my training materials, especially the Ultimate Success CDs training series, the reason I accomplished my goal of earning $25,000 a month in network marketing is because I was fortunate to have received competent, effective, and repetitive training, and I applied what I learned on a consistent daily basis. And I’m here to tell you that you too can achieve your goal if you receive competent, effective, and repetitive training . . . and you apply what you learn.

The fact is that the network marketing training you receive is what “makes or breaks” your business. Regardless of how much money you want to earn as a network marketer –$5,000, $10,000, or $25,000 a month – the success you achieve in network marketing is directly determined by the training you receive.

If you receive competent, effective, and repetitive training – and you apply what you learn from that training – then it’s virtually a guarantee that you will succeed in network marketing. But if you have the misfortune to receive incompetent and ineffective training (as do most network marketers), then it is virtually a guarantee that you and your downline will fail in this business regardless of how incredible your company is, or hard and how long you work, etc.

Here is your chance to receive what your looking for.  Start by signing up for my free marketing tips newsletter.  That’s what you need to do FIRST.  Once I see you can follow “simple steps” and take action, I’ll start teaching you exactly how you can grow your business profits faster without working harder.  It’s all about competent, effective, and repetitive training.  That’s exactly what I deliver.  

If you don’t have a business of your own yet, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU WAITING FOR ?????

That’s a great question……..

It’s becoming harder and harder to advertise as a distributor in a networking business and that trend will only continue to grow in the coming years. 

Companies find themselves between a rock and a hard place.  On one hand, they understand the importance of advertising, and want you to do as much as possible.

Believe me…

There’s nothing they’d like to see more than a market flooded with distributor placed ads promoting their products and opportunity. On the other hand, attorney’s who are more than aware of the FTC sharks that are constantly circling handcuffs them and are just waiting for someone to screw up so they can dive in for the feast.

As the legal risks continue to rise, the more strict parent companies must get with their advertising policies.

This is an inevitable outcome. Think about it… 95% of distributors in a network marketing company have no real experience as a business owner or professional advertiser.

They have no idea what’s within the law and what’s not.

Income Disclaimer? Terms Of Use? Privacy Policies? What are those?

So you take an eager group of people with ZERO education and little sense of personal liability, and you let them loose onto the biggest communications platform in the history of mankind… The Internet.

People end up placing stupid ads, and making insane claims, all in the name of their beloved parent company.

The Gov shows up a few weeks later, knocks on their door, and says, “clean up your act or we’ll shut you down”. And just like that, the ability for distributors to use advertisements with any information about the parent company at all is taken away.

You can’t blame corporate. They’re just doing what they must in order to stay in business. This will only get worse and it’s a shame.

Personally, I can’t stand government intervention into a capitalist market. They walk into a market under the excuse of protecting the “ignorant consumer” from the evil savvy marketers.

“Your testimonials are too persuasive which caused Mary to spend her last $50 on your product and now she can’t pay her cable bill. You need to remove those testimonials and replace them with something stale, boring, and un-compelling”.

Excuse my 3^rd grade verbiage here, but that’s retarded.

America is quickly becoming a country where no one takes personal responsibility for anything in their lives.

If there’s a problem, you go crying to the government who will gladly take your side in exchange for a vote, or a hefty donation during election time.

The weak whine the loudest, which is heard by the politicians who just want to keep their job, so policies are changed to cater to the whiners which means that this entire country is slowly turning into one big pile of finger-pointing meat puppets who cry for their bottle until someone else sticks it in their mouth for them. 

Can you tell I’m a little jaded by this trend? So as far as your networking business is concerned, what are you going to do about it?

Well that’s the million-dollar question isn’t it? I have to be honest. There is no right or wrong answer. You will define your own solution depending upon your personal views and opinions.

I found mine two years ago, and though I’m probably biased, I believe it to be the strongest.  Why?

Well in less than two years it allowed me to go from waiting tables to “millionaire” by the age of 29, and it is the only solution that is completely immune to any and all market changes.

It is, in a word… “Timeless”. And it’s very simple really… You don’t just build a networking opportunity because there’s no real value or equity there.

I hope you realize that.

When you build a business opportunity, you’re not building a real business at all because you don’t own any part of it.

You don’t own the product. You don’t own the company, and you don’t own your downline.

You are an independent distributor that can be let go at the owner’s discretion.  Building a business opportunity is fine, but it shouldn’t “BE” your business. It should only be a part of your business.It needs to be focused and centered around you and your name…. 

What I like to call, “You Inc”, because the equity you build in your name, your reputation, and your relationships is priceless because it can never be taken away from you.

When you build a following of people, and a business around “you” instead of your company, your income will never be at the mercy of other distributors, market changes, competition, or company owners again.

That’s the key to dealing with the growing limitations when it comes to advertising your company. You don’t advertise IT… You advertise YOU.

Sponsoring distributors becomes effortless, building a downline can be done in days, and making $10,000, $20,000, or even $100,000 in a single day is as simple as writing an email.

That’s how you build a real business in the networking industry today.

If you’re a beginner, I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring Course which will introduce you to attraction marketing and the concept of the You Inc business model.
