It has been a while since my last post, but we are back on track.

In this post I will share with you:

• A valuable tool you can use for selecting Safelists.
• What to write in your emails.
• Where to direct your prospects.

With this post we will cover

• What is a Safelist?
• How Safelists can help your MLM or Network Marketing business?
• Working out a plan?
• How to Find a Safelist?

What is a Safelist?
A safelist is a group of people who have agreed to receive
email information from other members of the safelist in
exchange for you receiving email information from them.

How Safelists can help your MLM or Network Marketing business?
Simple, safelists can have thousands of members. A
percentage of these members will read each message you
send and of percentage of these members will either sign
up to receive further information from you or join up to
become a member.

The more safelists you use and the more frequent that you
email a message the faster your business will grow.

Working out a plan
To be able to send messages to other safelist members you
must gain “credits” by clicking on the credit link in the
emails that you receive.

Once you click on the credit link a window will open with
the members website. You view their website and of course
they will view your website.

You will need to schedule a time to earn credits and a time
to send. Try and send your email messages at the same time
and daily if possible.

How To Find A Safelist?
Go to Google type in Safelists and a way you go.

Have you ever asked yourself the question “How Can I Make
Internet Marketing Easy”.

There are thousands of so called internet marketing experts
out there with the lastest and greatest matrix busting system,
with spillover and downline recruiting on autopilot.

Let’s be honest the one word you will rearly hear is the word
WORK……WORK is what it will take and lots of it.

No business is built upon nothing, there needs to be a
foundation for growth and the work is ongoing.

So how can you Make Internet Marketing Easy? Stop jumping
from company to company and system to system.

In the end your prime focus should be to move volume and
enroll other distributors in your MLM or affiliates business.

By all means use a system to help, but pick a simple one and

this is why:

1. You will be able to keep focused on where the long term
residual income is and that is your primary business.

2. If the system is simple, your downline will most likely
be able to duplicate, much much more easily.

3. Your confidence will grow because you are using an
EASY simple system that is getting results.

4. Greater confidence = growth = increasing income.

This is a quick update for those of you who like to do those
“How To Presentations”.

ScreenToaster recently closed it’s free service leaving a gap
in the market which needed to be filled in my opinion.

ScreenToaster provided a way to record your computer screen
as you were working away with a powerpoint for example,
audio or even video.

I am pleased to announce I have found a replacement to fill
the gap left by ScreenToaster whilst meeting the requirements
for those wishing to make short presentations.

The service is called Screencast-o-matic.com and there are free
and upgrade options available. During my testing of
Screencast-o-matic.com I managed to get everything up and
running, recorded and played back for viewing within 60 minutes.

Something to note is for larger presentations that you record
up to 60 minutes will need to be hosted off-site or saved to
your computer

You have heard the saying before that “time is money”.

So if you could find a way to save time that you could
later invest with your online internet business and make
more profits for you and your family would
that be of interest to you?

By doing something you do not really need to be doing
and that is typing in usernames and passwords for
the affiliate and traffic programs you belong to.

About a year ago I discovered a cost effective piece of
software that saved me time. In fact it’s saved me
heaps of time and continues to.

The url has been added to the Resource section,
but I thought it was important for all readers to gain
access immediately.

It is a time saver, money saver, and life saver.

Never Worry About Passwords Again

Should you give up? Have you ever asked this question once or twice in your life time?

To carry on with a task or goal that seems impossible and you are sure that will lead to failure. Well did you stop in your tracks or did you soldier on?

In Napolean Hill’s book, Think and Grow Rich, he speaks of having “Faith” in one of his chapters – All thoughts which have been emotionized (given feeling) and mixed with faith begin immediately to translate themselves into their physical equivalent or counterpart.

The modern world that is driven by technology should be saving us time and making more money for us. In reality families often struggle to make ends meet, working 2 or 3 jobs and look after the kids.

So how do you balance your 9 to 5 job, your family, your internet or networking marketing business and other commitments such as church and sports?

From personal experience to be honest with you I have struggled to keep all the balls in the air at the same time. Here is how I have gone about resolving the conflicts which do occur.

1. State your objectives in writing for each part of your life with a time to get it done.

2. State in writing why these objectives are important to you.

3. State in writing what it is going to be like when you complete these objectives.

4. Start preparing a plan immediately. Simple or detailed it is up to you.

5. Get into action.

Life is precious and so is time. We are all here for a limited time on this earth and if we can make every minute count, the results could be super extraordinary.

Can you recall what got you started with your MLM,Network Marketing, Internet Marketing or Home Business Enterprise?

What was your BIG why?

The important thing to remember when starting out in this amazing industry is that starting up your own enterprise in whatever form, will take time. Unlike a 9 to 5 job where you go to work, come home and get paid regardless of your performance. The same rules do not apply in the Home Business arena.

You will need to find a way to:

• advertise your business
• generate leads from the advertising that you do
• match the wants of your customer with your solution
• follow up with after care customer service
• recruit mentors and team members to help you
• keep up the administration
• and much more…

It sounds like a lot of work and it is, especially if things do not go your way.  So after the initial honeymoon period is over is it surprising that so many entrepreneurs quit and go right back to a 9 to 5 job and remain in this zone until retirement.

So if you are not motivated and your Why for “doing it in the first place” is not strong, why did you start at all?

On the other hand if you believe in what you are doing and can see where you are going and have a clear destination in mind, half the battle has been won. The other half will be completed through planning, help from others and most importantly your own action.

So What Keeps You Motivated With Your Home Business ? A powerful tool I have used over the past few years is listening to live conference calls and personal development recordings over and over again.

• Each time I listen to inspiring words, this regenerates my enthusiasm and keeps me going.
• Each time I listen to a live conference call I am excited when I learn something new.
• Each time I apply something that I have learned and it works that is a great feeling.

In a world where so much focus is on doom and gloom it is imperative to fill your mind with positive thoughts and seek out mentors who will help you to achieve your goals and dreams.

Remember what keeps you motivated and your why, in tough times these will help to give you strength.

Have you ever wondered why some people appear to be unstoppable in their personal and business lives? They excel at almost everything they do and when something does not work out, they get straight up, and soldier on.

What do these people possess that others do not?
Is it a Winning Attitude?

Let’s take a look at a couple of areas that may help to explain this phenomenon:

The Definition of Attitude?

The wikipedia definition is “An attitude is a hypothetical construct that represents an individual’s degree of like or dislike for an item. Attitudes are generally positive or negative views of a person, place, thing, or event– this is often referred to as the attitude object.”

In short your attitude affects everything you do or do not do.

So if some people appear to be unstoppable, what happened to him or her to make them this way?

• Were they born like this?
• Did they inherit loads of cash from their long lost Uncle so they have no worries in the world?
• Or have they adopted a Winning Attitude to help achieve each goal?

The person that appears to be unstoppable has most likely experienced “failure” not once, not twice but many times. It is a fact that human beings are not perfect and do fail, but here is the big secret, failure is fine…as long as the lesson behind each failure is learned the success rate will improve.

Roger Federer and Tiger Woods are world champions in their respective sports. They do not win every game, but they win the majority. If the Winning Attitude was not within them, both of these players would have given up years ago.

One can accept failure and retreat into the majority zone or rise to the occasion and defeat it. To defeat failure you must have an attitude to match.

So how do you achieve a Winning Attitude?

In the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, he provides the steps to help achieve any goal desired. An important part to achieving goals as outlined in the book is to use emotion so that you “see and feel and believe yourself already in possesion of the money (goal)”.

If you have belief, the how will follow.

Listening To The Unconcious Mind

Have a quick visit to the website link below. There is a handy comparison between the Concious and Unconcious mind’s.

Concious and Unconcious mind

Both have a part to play in the development of a Winning Attitude.

Identifying when your Unconcious mind is speaking directly with you may take time, but by learning to listen to your Unconcious mind with increased frequency over time you will find more solutions to problems in your personal and business life.

Sometimes the best decisions we make in life appear to have no logical reasoning behind them, they just “feel” right at the time.

Is it possible to program the mind to attain a Winning Attitude? Possibly.

Again in the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill he has written a Chapter on the power of Autosuggestion. The chapter is short and well worth your read.

Autosuggestion is yet another tool you can use to develop a Winning Attitude.

The Four Distinct Personality Types (aka Colors)

It is imperative to have an understanding of the four distinct personality types if you are to make your journey in life that much easier. By understanding the four distinct personality types of others and more importantly your own, you can move towards an understanding of how people think and manage objections with greater ease.

Having greater understanding leads to increased confidence and a Winning Attitude, because you are more comfortable with others and yourself.

There is a post on the Best MLM Resources Blog about the Four Distinct Personality Types (aka Colors) and can be found at the link below:

Post on Four Distinct Personality Types

Right now you may be having an aha moment, because you have just realized that you are a YELLOW, but have been taught at the RED’s school. Or you are a BLUE trying to be a GREEN.

How can you have a Winning Attitude if you are going to the wrong school?

So How Can You Achieve The Winning Attitude?

At the end of the day the EXACT formula will be different for everybody. Because we are all different.

This may explain why people struggle at school or in business, because they are using a ONE SIZE FITS ALL TEMPLATE and quite frankly this is not going to work for everybody.

The answer to achieve the Winning Attitude lies from within, it is up to YOU to release it in your own time.

Time…Can time be managed ?

If there are only 24 hours in each day, then it is not time that is managed, but the events within each day.

Here are a few questions that may assist you to become a more productive internet marketer.

1. Is what you are planning to do link in with The 7 Critical Business Building Activities ?

2. Is what you are planning to do going to be the most effective use of your time ?

3. Can what you are planning to do be broken down into smaller chunks ? Why try to move mountains ?

4. Who can assist you within your mastermind group ?

5. What tool are you using to monitor your daily events ?

I attended an online webinar recently hosted by Brian Fanale, co-owner of MLM LeadsystemPRO.

Brian had a special guest for this webinar, his name was Daegan Smith. If you do not know who Daegan Smith is, you can Google his name.

In this webinar Daegan shared openly what made him tick and he had everybody on the end of their seats as he took us through step by step what he does to generate traffic online. Using not just one method of lead generation, but numerous methods. Daegan advised it was better to have 20 pillars to your marketing machine, rather than just 1 or 2.

Daegan then talked specifically about Ezine Marketing and how to set it up the right way to improve your ROI by cutting down on money wasting. Daegan’s tips were simple, but money savers, even I could see that.

The “golden nuggets” as Brian Fanale put it just kept flowing. I locked onto a number of tips that Daegan shared with us for FREE. But the biggest tip Daegan had from my perspective was the importance of tracking everything that you do.

Basically if you are not tracking you are just wasting your time being in business.

This leads onto the topic of this post “The Importance Of Tracking Your Marketing Results”.

Reasons To Track Your Ads

Know which ads are converting and which are not

See what media your ad performs best in

Identify niche markets

Identify highly competitive keywords and

Low competitive keywords

Understand conversion

Ad Tracking Providers

The best way to understand ad tracking is to get hands on experience. You can read and read, but your understanding will come from using an ad tracking service yourself.
