Video Mail Says It Better

In my research today (yes, I do some research each and every day---the Internet never stops changing) I found an article that suggests why video mail is so much better than text email and I must agree whole heartedly. Not just because I am in video network marketing but because:

• Text email is easily misunderstood because you can't convey emotion.
• No body language can be observed through e mail
• You can't look the person straight in the eye and speak with conviction and sincerity
• It's just too impersonal

When I send video mails to my new subscribers at my Affiliate Marketing Help and Affiliate Marketing For Newbies websites, they are completely blown away. Now, they are not people that I am prospecting for video network marketing either. It's just a personal welcome.

I subscribe to a ton of newsletters and most of them are just sales pitches one after another. I have never seen anyone send vmails with personal welcomes in them.

I feel like a true pioneer.

It's all about me: Why e-mails are so easily misunderstood

Free Surveyed Home Based Business Leads

Just a quick post.

I got an e mail from the guy who developed my waterfall leads capture page, Jeremy Henderson.

Now, understand that I don't really favor leads companies and I would NEVER pay for leads. But, this is a free leads offer. You get 25 surveyed home business leads a week who have been asked questions like:

• How much time do you have to invest in a business?
• How much money do you want to make?
• When can you start?
• How much money do you have to invest in a home based business?
• Have you ever run a home based business before?
• Why do you want this?
• Plus whatever else these survey people ask.

The bottom line is that I would never teach any of you to rely on free leads or bought leads that you have not generated yourself.

Think it's too hard to generate your own leads without using PPC?

Think again. This is just one of the 2 systems that I use and I generate more leads than I can keep up with---MLM network marketing leads

I have NEVER used PPC and I have never wanted for more leads. It's all about attracting leads not chasing leads. But, we'll have to save that for another day.

Meanwhile, here are your free business opportunity leads that you can use if you hit a dry spell or something.

Give Freely And Reap The Rewards

I know that we're all here to make money but do you ever think about the long term being more important than the short term?

A little bit of background information:

I am a network marketer. That is my main business and how I make at least 75% of my current income. But I stated out as an affiliate marketer. Since then, my affiliate marketing sites have turned into 2 things:

1. Information sites with just a few scattered affiliate links to services that may be helpful to other marketers.
2. Awesome leads generation systems.

I first learned as an avid forum poster that by giving away my knowledge with no strings attached, I could actually make more contacts, referrals, and money in the end. By adopting this "non-profit" attitude toward my marketing efforts in some cases, I've actually made more than I would have otherwise.

Let me tell you what it has brought me.

I now have 2 active students that are learning the ropes directly from me. While it does take some extra work to mentor a newbie, the rewards are fantastic.

My 1st student came to me through my subscriber list at Affiliate Marketing Help. After I welcomed him with a video mail (that's a little extra thing I do that doesn't come with Aweber). I don't remember how he first found me or if I ever knew but he seems to think that I'm some kind of marketing genius because of my "breath of fresh air" tactics. He's not a newbie to entrepreneurship, he's actually a retired professor of Entrepreneurial Science. He and I are in the process of forming a business partnership not only with my VM Direct business but he also wants me to be part of his business coaching programs.

Can you imagine a successful professional like this wanting to join forces with a 32 year old retired bartender?

My second student who I just got off the phone with a few minutes ago is a gentleman from the UK. He is a newbie affiliate marketer and wants my help to create and monetize a London travel site. He came to me for help from a work at home forum because he said he enjoyed my honest and thoughtful posts.

He is, as we speak, setting up domain names, hosting accounts, and autoresponder services through my affiliate links. Why? Because I offered my time and advice with no strings attached. I've also been contacting him through video mail and have his interest in video network marketing quite piqued. Sure, I could give him a hard sell but my philosophy is to let him decide on his own. That way, he'll be loyal and work hard to build the organization.

This is how my prospects stick around and really make a go of it. Less attrition.

I'm nothing special. As I said, I'm a retired bartender and I'm only 32 years old. The reason for my success is my non-pushy sales techniques.

You could say I'm the "non-marketer."

So I found what looks to be a pretty cool MLM forum the other day and I wanted to share it with you all. I've only posted a couple of things but it looks like a lot of good stuff.

Here are some of the points of interest:

• Article marketing
• Blog marketing
• Offline marketing ideas
• SEO
• Law of Attraction
• Personal development and coaching
• General Home Based Business Discussions

Here is a link to the MLM forum. Take a look around but you should definitely get registered and start showing your expertise as well as asking questions and learning as much as you can.

Also, of mention is a thread that names a bunch of really good network marketing blogs. All you network marketers should at least be out there blogging even if you don't yet have your own content site. Here you can find the best MLM blogs according to the MLM forum.


Happy posting!

Cool Email That I Just Got.

This question is of the utmost importance as
you grow and thrive. As you recreate yourself
into the type individual that commands
abundance for you and thousands of others in
every area of life.

Sure you probably can't fathom having
thousands of people you influence to
greatness along your path, but the truth is
you will and as you look back you'll smile
knowing you've made the world a little bit
better.

Too many people focus on the negative things
when it comes to starting a business that not
only has the power to create great wealth for
you, but gives you the vehicle to create
great wealth and abundance in others as well.

They say it's too hard.

They say it's a scam.

They say you'll never succeed.

It can be lonely leading the field at times,
but never loose sight of how important what
you're achieving really is.

Don't let the dream steelers chip away at
you. That's how they win. Silence them and
charge ahead knowing you don't have all the
answers and never will. Be fearless.

As I look back on my path of creating a
large organization in just the last two short
years and earning a pretty penny last year
I'd like to share a few trade secrets with
you about exactly what it means to be Sheree.

It means more than just convincing people to
join a business.

It means putting yourself on the line first.

It means taking more knocks than the average.

It means being a constant student.

It means being a constant teacher.

It means setting the example.

It means growth in all ways shapes and forms
even when it's uncomfortable.

It means being bigger and better than you
think you can be.

When you look back down the path it won't be
the dollar amounts that matter the most.

What will matter the most is things like
coming home from a long vacation and
rummaging through a pile of mail to find a
lone letter from someone you helped thanking
you for just spending a little time with
them.

It will be the times when you're teammates
have struggles and you're there to pick them
up no matter what.

These are what it means to be Sheree. Take
great pride and joy in this and charge ahead.

Use the stories of those that came before you
to lift you in your darkest hours. You'll
always find untold and new wisdom each time.
If you're unsure of what to next, if you
feel like the world is against you take this
and let it guide you in your darkest hours:
