			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are not having the success you desire, I bet I know the reason! At least for me, plugging away with long term goals in mind keeps my business moving, even in hard times. Sure, it is hard on occasion, but when I talk to many others who don&#8217;t experience the same level of success as I do, it is always that they are not consistent with their actions.</p>
<p>Baseball hitters aren&#8217;t paid on the number of home runs, it is their batting average that determines salary. It is the same with Cricket. One performance is great, but consistency over time is the key to success. Amazingly enough, this is often overlooked when measuring success in business.</p>
<h2>How It Works</h2>
<p>I guess the parable of the Hare and the Tortoise sums it up. The hare races away from the gate at 1,000 mph, and then takes a rest. Meanwhile, the tortoise plods along at a steady pace and soon enough, overtakes the hare and wins the race.</p>
<p>I have considerable success marketing products on the internet, with turnover of $10-15,000 month after month and a good level of commission coming to me. I have built this up over 6 years. Every now and then I add a video, article, or send a broadcast email to one of my lists. Simply put, I keep in touch. It works and keeps the sales coming, even in tough times.</p>
<p>Now, I am not saying I am perfect by any means &#8211; in fact I have been rather slack of late. I do keep in touch with my list though, and my constant application to the task at hand sees me with excellent page 1 listings on google for my country. Those listings result in over 300 a day visiting web sites and now that google have stopped me advertising with them, all of my new customers.</p>
<h2>Will It Work For You?</h2>
<p>Well, it all depends. The trick is to have a product to market that has a story, people want it when they know what it is, and to be able to reach your audience. In my Ice to Eskimos post, I covered what happens when you sell to the converted – nothing! A few days ago, in the local swimming pool, I was talking to a friend, who is a successful marketer for a large company. He is on the opposite side of the political spectrum to me and was wondering why a seminar he was staging with a professional climate sceptic wasn&#8217;t getting ticket sales.</p>
<p>I thought about it for a while, and here is my take. If you believed that climate change didn&#8217;t exist would you pay for someone to tell you what you already know? I would say probably not. If you were, like me a believer in climate change, would I go and pay money to throw tomatoes at this guy or listen to him talk BS? I think not.</p>
<p>In my opinion, there is probably not a big market for people to pay money to hear what this guy has to say. Now these people are getting council rate notices identifying that their properties will be under water in 50 years or so. If the organizers could convince everyone that attending this event would be the key to removing this caveat, I bet they would all gladly pay $15 and fill up the room</p>
<h2>Are You Selling Something With A Market</h2>
<p>Understand that I research my market. I research my product and delve into who is looking for this kind of solution. I scour the media for stories where I can solve a problem. When I do, I offer a solution – my products! I do this consistently and it gets results.</p>
<h2>What About Consistency?</h2>
<p>OK, I digress. The point of this post is to explain that doing what I do on a regular basis builds rapport with your audience, and results in sales, which pushes the business forward. I am still one of the top recruiters in my MLM. It is the relationship I build with my customers fuelled by consistence of action and a passionate belief in the solutions I offer that creates this.</p>
<h2>And The Big Boys?</h2>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at Ryan Deiss. He sends out an email for a webinar where he is going to teach you something for free that you have to watch, or your business will be dead in a few months. On the seminar he explains what the problem is, how to resolve it, and why without his new product you will fail! He puts a deadline and makes a bunch of money.</p>
<p>A couple of weeks later he is at it again. Same pitch, same video, but a new and even stronger campaign to get you to watch that video. He may do it a couple more times until sales drop.</p>
<p>Now something happens. Our friend Ryan puts out a new campaign saying that everything has changed and you need to know something else to survive! He even implies everything he has sold to you doesn&#8217;t work anymore and you must have this brand new program! This covers him for all those people who used his product and got nowhere!</p>
<p>I have seen Mike Filsaime, Armand Morin, Frank Kern and many others use exactly the same formula. People keep buying their programs!</p>
<p>There is a common link here – consistency. Many of these products don&#8217;t sell. Some campaigns get little result. They don&#8217;t tell you that bit! By consistently sending strong offers and free webinar trainings on the latest trends, they hook their list into spending huge amounts of money on programs many never implement.</p>
<h2>Do You Get It?</h2>
<p>So I am not alone with my success coming from consistency of action and trying new ideas on a regular basis. The Big Boys do it too. Are you doing this?</p>
<p>If you are not getting the results, you need a plan to work to. That is what my program is about. It does work if you take the information and apply it CONSISTENTLY! I am about to win my 22<sup>nd</sup> Network Marketing reward trip in the last 9 years. How about you?</p>
<p>I am sure you learnt something from this post. Want more results, slow down, plan your next few moves and then take action consistently.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have seen many posts and articles about the money being in the list! As an internet marketer with lists built over the last 6 years, I am well aware of this. Fortunately for me, when I send out a broadcast email, I usually get at least a few sales. This article will give you a few ideas why many if not most don&#8217;t get many sales, even though they have been busy building an email list.</p>
<h2>Email Is Not Dead!</h2>
<p>Let me start with this one. So many marketers are pushing Social Media and other things as the &#8220;new&#8221; way to get customers. There are rumors saying that email marketing is dead. It is simply not true. Granted it is no longer as easy as falling of a log, but all those marketers like Mike Filsaime, Ryan Deiss, Jeff Walker, Armand Morin, etc still send me broadcast emails! It may be harder to get people to opt in now, but it is still the best way to market anything on line.</p>
<h2>Who Are You Targeting</h2>
<p>This one is very important, and most people ignore it. If at some point you want to make sales, you had better make sure your contacts are interested in what you have to offer. Don&#8217;t make up ads that get the maximum number of subscriptions so your list looks good. If you are paying for ads, particularly with PPC, you only want those who are high quality prospects to go to your web site. This can save you a fortune in advertising dollars. On Facebook, Google, etc well written ads will only attract buyers, or those who seriously want to buy. The rest we don&#8217;t care about. Let the tyre kickers get on someone else&#8217;s email list. I only want responsive people. That is how I get 20% or higher open rates on emails.</p>
<h2>A Separate System For Each Target Group.</h2>
<p>OK, you know who is your ideal customer. You know who is going to buy products like yours and what they look for. Probably there is more than one group. I would tailor a landing page, sales page and autoresponder message series for each group and build a separate list. This way, I can send specific information relevant to a particular niche, plus general product information to a larger group. The more focused your sales activities are, the more likely you are to get customers.</p>
<h2>What Are You Selling?</h2>
<p>Really, this is the main point of this article. Many people do generic ads for say an Ebook on making money in the share market and then try to sell a video training series. If this group has no interest in making videos, they won&#8217;t respond! What&#8217;s more, a whole series educating them why video is essential to on line success will probably fall on deaf ears as well. They will simply not open the emails, because they have no interest, even if it could be of immense benefit.</p>
<h2>What Does This Mean?</h2>
<p>If I am advertising making money with shares, I had better make sure my information is educational, informative, and contains a few tricks most people don&#8217;t share about making money with shares. The subjects of the messages need to be all about challenges faced in this area, or ways to get better results. Then the headline or subject should entice recipients to at least read the first paragraph. Your first paragraph is there to hook people in and convince them if they don&#8217;t read the whole message, they will be missing out.</p>
<h2>Relating Your Messages To Current Events</h2>
<p>My best message so far was one on what Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley have in common. It caused a huge spike on my blog from a single email. Using a topical headline which is relevant to your message really helps get that curiosity factor going. Entertainment works. As far as possible entertain with your messages. You can make a mystery story, cartoon, analogy, joke, etc. Just keep the interest.</p>
<h2>Some Tips On Measuring Open Rates.</h2>
<p>Now I am going to reveal to you one of my success secrets. When I write an article such as this one, I will post it on my blog. Then I will create a generic version without buy links or a sales pitch and syndicate it to article directories. Next I send an email to list members who are interested in this area and tease them to go to the blog and read the entire post. I see the spike in page views on the blog and compare it to the size of the email list. It is always higher than the open rate my autoresponder program suggests. This gives you your true open rate. For instance I have a list of 2,000 and I get a spike of 400 over 2-3 days on my blog. That means 20% of people not only opened my email but took action. Finally I create a series of keyword rich back links to the post to increase search engine traffic to the blog. I do this using <a href="http://www.bruteforceseo.com/?offer=6D75650070DC">powerful software</a> that does this from my computer</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it, this is what you are looking for. You create a post, email your list, and then enough of those people actually read your message and take the action you want them to. Every now and then you make an offer of something that they want. IF the offer is irresistible, they will buy it. Why? Because you built trust by offering relevant and useful information before you asked for their money. Trust is gained by keeping your lists targeted and full of people who are interested in the topic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yep. Finally the google slap has hit me in the face. After 6 years as a loyal advertiser, they took exception to a couple of landing pages, and summarily suspended me. No discussion, no redress, just bye bye!</p>
<p>Of course, I knew it would come one day. After all just about every name internet marketer has suffered from this. I guess I have arrived! There was a reason for it, however insane, and I would like to save your account – if you wish to keep it.</p>
<h2>What I learned About Google.</h2>
<h3>Deadly Violation 1.</h3>
<p>I did receive a warning. I put an ad for Shopping Genie offering discounts. While the claims were true, google saw it as a get rich quick scheme. A scheme of this type seems to be any mlm or internet marketing training course, any home business, or way of making money other than a legitimate &#8220;job&#8221;. Even a free report on how to make more money breaks the rules.</p>
<p>My second transgression was a small ad with almost no traffic pointing to the <a href="http://mlmprofitbooster.com">http://mlmprofitbooster.com</a> website. You can have a look and see what horrible claims I make there! Anything remotely like this on a page you send someone on a google ad to gets you banned.</p>
<h3>Deadly Violation 2.</h3>
<p>One of my friends also sells health products from her site. This is where I made all my money from with google. Now I can&#8217;t advertise anything with them. It appears someone didn&#8217;t like her, or had ridiculous expectations of the products she purchased, in other words a nutter. This lady complained to the regulators, and I suspect to google who summarily cancelled my friend&#8217;s adwords account.</p>
<p>So the second heinous crime is to have anyone complain about one of your ads. It seems that google are sensitive to complaints and will wipe your account if they even get one!</p>
<p><strong>Warning:</strong> Once you put an ad on your google adwords account it stays there forever, even if you delete it. That means, don&#8217;t even experiment with anything controversial if you wish to keep your account.</p>
<h2>What To Do About It</h2>
<p>Well, if you must spend money with google, don&#8217;t do anything that attracts attention, or has a strong sales message. I might add that 5 years ago my google costs were over $1,000 a month and now they have trickled down to $2-300, so adwords isn&#8217;t the force it used to be. Ads that used to pull in dozens of prospects, simply don&#8217;t work any more.</p>
<h2>Other Advertising</h2>
<p>What I am doing now is ramping up my backlink program to get better SEO. I am adding more articles and videos over the coming weeks. I am placing adverts on yahoo, bing, facebook, Ezines, Exactseek, and other alternate ppc systems. The downside of most of these is that you pay up front. The good side is that they are cheap and with ppc, you only pay for clicks.</p>
<h2>What Else</h2>
<p>I am taking a serious look at my data from google and working out which keywords attracted buyers. Then I will be targeting those keywords with articles, videos and syndication using my backlink and syndication software, plus putting articles on my blog. I am now getting serious, and wanting to dominate the search engines from the terms I choose, and then google will be largely irrelevant.</p>
<h2>My Advice</h2>
<p>By all means do your bit to get top rankings on google and other search engines. Then make sure the pages that get indexed have a call to action and actually start the process of generating sales. This is a big mistake many marketers make. For instance, every piece you put on the internet needs a call to action or resource box which tells you specifically the next step to take if you are interested in the information. If you want to learn more details on all of this, you can get them from my Profit Booster Training. Simply go to <a href="http://mlmprofitbooster.com">http://mlmprofitbooster.com</a> and fill in the form. You get a free report that just might help.</p>
<h2>Will You Be A Victim Of Google</h2>
<p>I can&#8217;t tell. If you are an aggressive marketer, yes, you will get banned sooner or later. You may get caught in the crossfire of someone else&#8217;s dispute too. Don&#8217;t take the risk. Do something now. Again, <a href="http://mlmprofitbooster.com">http://mlmprofitbooster.com</a> gives you step by step guidance in how to do it all the right way, saving you thousands of hours wondering why your tactics didn&#8217;t work. At the very least, by reading this article, you can avoid the whole mess, at least for a while!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK, I know many of you are Internet or network marketers, or have something to sell, or a program to join. I d too!</p>
<p>Years ago, it was pretty easy to get interest. You simply put an ad on google, gave them a reason to opt in to your site and then sent out a couple of emails and got them to read your sales letter. People trusted most anyone who knew enough to put up a good web page.</p>
<h2>Something Changed</h2>
<p>As with every other industry, a few smart marketers moved in on the scene and started making magic bullet web sites, guaranteed to earn you a fortune. I tried a few of these, and personally they didn&#8217;t provide me with the promised millions. Even the exact landing pages provided by the gurus received almost no response for me. Bit by bit, our faith in marketers has been worn down, as we consume one solution after another, and the results simply don&#8217;t come.</p>
<p>Now I know that until recently, if you threw enough money at Google or Facebook, in advertising, you can get some business. Some people will answer just about anything, and there are always a few newbies out there. It is getting harder to get a response, but my main beef is that you can lose your shirt waiting for all that cash to flood in. If you are not making money you will give up sooner or later. For years I felt the purpose of media was to take all your profits in advertising and just keep you afloat. As I learned more, I was able to leverage these organisations and start to make a nice profit, which is what business is all about. For me, if I don&#8217;t make money within a few weeks, I usually pull the ads or change tactics.</p>
<h2>How Would You Get To Me?</h2>
<p>OK, back to the subject at hand. I get emails from all sorts of people offering a range of services, business opportunities, etc. Here is my reaction.</p>
<p>If you send me an email, and I have no idea who you are, I delete it! I no longer have time to sift through all this stuff.</p>
<p>If you call, I will take a look at what you have to offer. I am more likely to do this if you ask a little about me, and why I am so successful. Most people push their opportunity down my throat and use the same platitudes, like, &#8220;everyone I talked to jumped on this&#8221;, or &#8220;everyone in the world needs this&#8221;, or this is s new, when it is released, the whole world will want it&#8221;. I bet you have never heard any of these statements! They are red flags to me, even if they are true. I may look at it, but ma more likely to move on.</p>
<h2>OK So What Works?</h2>
<p>There are several ways you will get my interest.</p>
<ol>
<li>Someone I know and trust recommends you. That is why affiliate marketing works so well. Your recommendation has a lot of weight. The downside of this is that if you suggest too much crap, you lose credibility.</li>
<li>I requested the information! Interesting. If I google looking for something and your site appears in the SEO listing or ads, I might take a look at it providing the headline and description catch my attention. It is not enough to place an ad or get your page ranked, it must grab attention and speak to the reader.</li>
<li>I meet you through a Social Network and develop a relationship. This takes time, but can work well, as I have the chance to get to know you before I purchase. Once I find out about your background, credentials, and the type of person you are, I may well purchase something off you or something you recommend.</li>
<li>If I see the program everywhere I look! One strategy is to get seen all over the place. If every time I look for help I see your advice, I will begin to think you are an expert.</li>

<h2>I Think You Get The Idea</h2>
<p>If you want to make money on line, it is no longer a simple matter of putting up and ad and sending people to a landing page. You need a systemized approach to convince people they will benefit from what you have to offer. In my experience, only 2 marketers I have studied with met the criteria. Mike Dillard&#8217;s Traffic Formula, which comes out of the vault every now and then was one. Armand Morin&#8217;s Internet Marketing Explained took it even further, and I learned heaps off him.</p>
<p>I have incorporated many of the ideas from these two, plus added some of my own insights and plucked useful bits from a number of other successful marketers to put my Profit Booster training together (I told you I have something to sell too). Take look around my articles, and take a look at the free stuff at <a href="http://salesprofitbooster.com/?p=502">http://salesprofitbooster.com/?p=502</a> and you can get an idea of some of the stuff I have on offer. I am going to constantly update and enhance this with material I have tested on my own products.</p>
<p>I trust you get a few clues from this article to get your profits up and increase traffic for whatever you are offering. It is wonderful to spend a few hours putting tog ether a new marketing system and have it produce month after month for years and years. This is the secret of internet marketing success. Set up a solid system that produces profits and rinse and repeat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know, there are quite a few people talking about getting high page rankings on Google. Of course, if your content is found and it catches attention, it could mean a whole lot of business for you. There are a bunch of tricks I use to get good SEO for my articles, but one surpasses all and is the easiest to do.</p>
<h2>My Results</h2>
<p>First, here are a few of the results I have from google. These have been attained with a relatively low level of activity.</p>
<p><strong>Liquid Zeolite</strong>. Searches 5,400, 1,760,000 results, position 4</p>
<p><strong>Herbal Fiberblend</strong> Searches 1,900 websites 49,500 Position 3</p>
<p><strong>Learn The Tarot</strong> &#8211; Searches 6,600, websites 26,100 position 5</p>
<p>All of these are in highly competitive markets. I am making money off each of these niches using information contained in the <a href="http://www.mlmprofitbooster.biz/training/member/">Profit Booster Training</a> where I go into detail on all aspects of making money on line. Full details and screenshots at the end of this article.</p>
<h2>How I Did It.</h2>
<p>Well, first, I created articles and put them on a blog or website. Some of these sites are static websites and others are wordpress blogs. It doesn&#8217;t really matter where your information is stored for this exercise. I did optimize each page for SEO.</p>
<p>Ok, after doing all this, I sat and waited and watched my rankings rise slowly. Then I came across Brad Callen and studied his material. It was clear that creating backlinks was the strategy I was missing. I spent 12 months looking at various ideas, schemes, etc. At one stage I paid $200 a month for someone in the Philippines to manually create back links for me.</p>
<h2>The Secret Weapon.</h2>
<p>I am well aware that link farms, and fully automated software to create links usually ends up getting your ISP banned, google account cancelled, or your website shut down, so I was very wary of anything. Eventually I came across something that works and works well. It is called <a href="http://bruteforceseo.com/affiliates/?offer=6D75650070DC">Brute Force SEO</a>, and a new version is about to hit the market. I have 5,513 links to my zeolitereview.org site from this software according to the google webmaster tools, and google is impressed. Your sites will suddenly get attention too, when you apply this software.</p>
<h2>How It Works</h2>
<p>The program requires a series of static accounts, which are used for all of your SEP runs. These include unique accounts at the various article directories, social networking sites, etc. You click a button and 89 of these are set up before your eyes! This is done from your computer and is as if you were typing the information at lightning speed. It looks like a human to you, and to google.</p>
<p>You then select the page you want to send traffic to, and the keyword you want ranked, and add in the RSS feed for your site.</p>
<p>Next we add an article or two which is optimized for the keyword. You can target up to 3 keywords and associated web pages.</p>
<p>Now we hit the go button, and for the next 4 or 5 hours EVO goes to work in the background, creating sites, opening browsers, distributing the article, creating social links, etc. You go to bed and wake up next morning with a long list of sites pointing to your page.</p>
<h2>It Gets Better</h2>
<p>Once your information is out there, it goes viral. Articles are taken from directories and feeds get syndicated. Your content can go crazy and in a few weeks you will have hundreds of links, some of them from high PR sites.</p>
<h2>Rinse And Repeat</h2>
<p>The second phase is to rerun the same task again every 4 days until you get your keywords ranked where you want them. This gives google a little breather so it doesn&#8217;t think you are cheating.</p>
<h2>What Do You Think?</h2>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t used this software, you are missing out on a big advantage for getting pages ranked. <a href="http://bruteforceseo.com/affiliates/?offer=6D75650070DC">Get Brute Force EVO2 here</a> or at least take a look at the detailed videos if you have any interest in getting your articles and pages ranked at the top of the search engines.</p>
<p>Naturally, my <a href="http://www.mlmprofitbooster.biz/training/member/">Profit Booster Training</a> goes into depth on how to set up a marketing system that sells whatever you would like to from the start to advanced techniques.</p>
<p>Below is the raw data o back up the figures I quoted in this article.</p>
<h3>Appendix 1 &#8211; My Results</h3>
<p>I thought it best I demonstrated some of the results for my main keywords, so you know I am genuine. I have to admit, I haven&#8217;t done much work on my SEO lately, but the rankings are still there.</p>
<p>To understand these results these are the paramaters.</p>
<p>Keyword – the words entered in google.</p>
<p>Searches – the number of monthly worldwide searches for the keyword using the google keyword tool</p>
<p>Results – the number of websites in the google search index</p>
<p>Position – generic search position, This does not include ads.</p>
<p>I am sure you will agree that these results are impressive. I was taught to go for keywords with no more than 2,000 searches a month, and no more than 400,000 web sites.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Liquid Zeolite</strong>. Searches 5,400, 1,760,000 results, position 4</p>
<p><img src="http://johngaydon.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/061511_1027_PageOneOnGo1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Herbal Fiberblend</strong> Searches 1,900 websites 49,500 Position 3</p>
<p><img src="http://johngaydon.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/061511_1027_PageOneOnGo2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Learn The Tarot</strong> &#8211; Searches 6,600, websites 26,100 position 5</p>
<p><img src="http://johngaydon.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/061511_1027_PageOneOnGo3.jpg" alt="" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those of you who are searching to find their pages listed on page one of google and other search engines, one of the strategies you would now be aware of is creating back links to your page using comments on blogs.</p>
<p>Google definitely notices how many people connect to your site, and especially if the sites connecting to you have relevant material, they will give you a bid tick. Combined with great on page SEO, relevance to authority pages, and high traffic, you can indeed get a top ranking for your web pages. In Australia, I have several top 1 or 2 rankings for my money keywords (the keywords use when they are looking to buy) for my major products.</p>
<p>Recently I saw a post that I liked and took the trouble to read it and leave a comment. Part of my comment was my opinion on how a little of my knowledge could enhance the advice given in the post. I do this often for three reasons.</p>
<h2>The Benefits Of Leaving Comments</h2>
<ol>
<li>I have great experience in all aspects of internet marketing, and I often have valuable insights that will assist readers to gain greater clarity. I provide this information free to others. In return, I get more traffic to my own sites.</li>
<li>Every time I leave a comment and the site allows for following of back links, I get a little more link juice. That means that every comment gives you just that much more traffic and status with google. I have seen my traffic grow slowly as I leave comments on other sites.</li>
<li>By leaving a comment, I add some of the authority from my own site to the post. This opens it up to being read more widely. That means more traffic for the blog where the post is, and if they read the comments, they become aware of what I have to say as well. Moreover, if I syndicate the post to my Social Networking sites, I draw more traffic to the post, and they are exposed to my comment. Because these people already like me, they may come back to my blog and read more! This really is a win/win situation.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Where It All Goes Wrong</h2>
<p>The reason for this post is to encourage you to leave comments on blogs and spread the word on posts you like. An organisation such as the TSA is a great way to achieve this. This is a group which comments and syndicates on each other&#8217;s blogs. You can also do some searching on your money keywords and see if any of the top sites take comments or links. It has been a great strategy for me.</p>
<p>What some bloggers do is to keep the bits where you praise them, and ignore anything that might draw attention elsewhere. While short term this might work, it is a flawed strategy. Pay It Forward is the secret ingredient to internet success. If I find that a comment of mine has been heavily edited and my advice removed, I won&#8217;t be going back to that blog, and I won&#8217;t be telling others about it! That is, no matter how good the content is.</p>
<h2>One Last Peeve</h2>
<p>I have said this before and I will say it again. Pitching your opportunity directly off a blog or Social Post is just plain dumb. In 2011 everyone is getting far too sophisticated. It is no longer OK to meet someone on an internet dating site and immediately make a marriage proposal unless you are very rich! What I do is to set up a series of educational emails on an autoresponder and a well crafted information letter or video explaining how you can solve people&#8217;s problems. Have a product available for purchase at the end, but first get them on your mailing list! Don&#8217;t worry if you have 200 visitors a day and one subscription. It is free traffic!</p>
<h2>My Pitch</h2>
<p>Like everyone else, I have an agenda. I have spent the last 18 months putting my plan of attack together in a step by step easy to follow format. I explain what to do and why, and how to build your income starting with essential elements and building it into an unstoppable marketing machine. It is an alternative to spending thousands on courses you never implement and getting confused with all the latest fads out there. As I discover and test additional methods that work, I will add them to the training in a form you can implement.</p>
<p>Each module comes complete with live worked examples, detailed homework exercises, hours of webinars and an inventory of all the resources required to make the job as easy as possible. You can get a free 7 day trial and check it out before a cent is taken from you in payment. Why do I do this – Because I know you are going to love the content!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lately, I have been visiting many blogs to leave comments. I must admit, when I started, I didn&#8217;t realize how many different profiles or ways of signing your comments there were. Google has blogger, there is wordpress, and a whole stack of other IDs.</p>
<h2>Syndicating Content</h2>
<p>I have joined the <a href="http://tsa.com">TSA (Tribe Syndication Association)</a>. I recommend it for those who want more exposure to their blogs, particularly to entrepreneurs, internet marketers and network marketers. It is a small and growing group that is going places.</p>
<h2>Why Leave Comments</h2>
<p>Comments are useful to your blog posts. First of all when people see that a bunch of people are reading your posts, they are more likely to stay and take a look around. Second, it exposes your posts to a wider audience. The whole idea of networking is for people of like mind to share information. In the sharing, we all grow and learn and new relationships form. A third advantage is that your post may get syndicated through Twitter, Facebook, and the many Social Networking hubs. This is much more likely if the person doing the syndication has their own comment on the blog. It is a win/win as they get credibility for sharing useful information and you get more visitors as a result.</p>
<p>What I have found, is that many blogs are very hard to leave comments on. There are a number of systems, and I think we would be all better advised to find something that is easy to use. Here are a few tips to get your blogs working for you in the areas of comments and syndication.</p>
<h2>Hints To Improve Syndication Of Your WordPress Blog</h2>
<p>Watch the video first, and then read the accompanying notes!</p>
<p><center>
<div id="evp-987bab552fec4387c2bc8c959377abb8-wrap" class="evp-video-wrap"></div>
<p><script type="text/javascript" src="http://johngaydon.com/evp/framework.php?div_id=evp-987bab552fec4387c2bc8c959377abb8&#038;id=c2V0dGluZy11cC1ibG9nLXN5bmRpY2F0aW9uLTEuZmx2&#038;v=1304572153&#038;profile=default"></script><script type="text/javascript"><!--
_evpInit('c2V0dGluZy11cC1ibG9nLXN5bmRpY2F0aW9uLTEuZmx2[evp-987bab552fec4387c2bc8c959377abb8]');//--></script></center></p>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Add the commentluv plugin. This makes it relatively easy for people to leave comments and passes links back to their site. When you leave a comment with this plug in, it grabs your avatar (picture) and puts it with the comment, and they can put a website to link back to. Readers can see the latest post at the time they left their comment.</li>
<li>Reverse the order of comments. You can do this with a plug in, or a simple change to the comments section of your theme. The video shows you how to modify the theme. Place &lt;?php $comments = array_reverse($comments, true); ?&gt; in the comments.php file directly above &lt;?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?&gt; Then save the updated file. You need to be very careful when doing this!</li>
<li>Add the dig dig plug in and configure it to place syndication icons for Twitter, Facebook, Digg, and Stumbleupon at the bottom of your posts. This makes it easy for people to syndicate your copy.</li>
<li>One more thing is a tidbit on how to change the appearance of headings on posts. I found that some themes leave certain headers that don&#8217;t look nice. It is a relatively simple matter to modify the CSS file to get things looking how you want them.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p>You are welcome to send others to this post. I can tell you, many bloggers have no idea about this stuff. If you wish to learn more, join the <a href="http://nanacast.com/vp/97024/87597/">TSA </a> and get the free 10 day boot camp. You will be surprised how much you learn.</p>
<p>Happy Blogging,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The Background</h2>
<p>I have been pretty successful in my on line Network Marketing ventures. After studying Traffic Formula with Mike Dillard some 4 years ago, I put it all to work and refined it with material from Armand Morin&#8217;s Internet Marketing Explained a year later. These are still the best two trainings I have purchased my whole time on line! In recent years, most of my income has originated in on line activity, but I am always looking to keep up to date with the latest and trial new things!</p>
<p>These last few months I have put enormous effort following some of the new superstars on the block. This included Rik Katz and his &#8220;MLM Mastermind&#8221;, Ryan Deiss&#8217;s &#8220;Video Sales Letter&#8221;, Daegan Smith&#8217;s &#8220;Maximum Leverage&#8221;, and most recently Jonathon Budd&#8217;s &#8220;MLM Launch Formula&#8221;. All together, when you include all the extras they recommend, there is well over $1,000 spent. I don&#8217;t think I am a complete idiot, but I thought I would document my results thus far.</p>
<p>First, I am not a quitter. I realize we live in changing times. A couple of years ago, it was much easier. You didn&#8217;t have so many people listening to gurus, copying everything they said, and then becoming a clone! I have seen this before in the New Age movement back in the 1980s. The gurus make heaps of money pioneering new territory, then they make promises that simply don&#8217;t happen for just about everybody, while maximizing their income. Eventually everyone is &#8220;trained&#8221; to run their own operation, and there is no one left who wants to learn! When I would suggest this sort of idea, I would be branded as someone who had bad thinking, or believed in scarcity.</p>
<h2>I Am Not A Quitter.</h2>
<p>Interestingly enough, my PPC campaigns still bring me new prospects every day, my blogs are pulling over 500 unique visitors a day, and according to Google, I am getting great exposure for some of the high ranked keywords in my niches. People contact me after viewing my youtube videos or reading articles they find all over the net. My following is steadily growing – but it&#8217;s not from the new stuff!</p>
<p>So here we go. In the next few paragraphs, I will provide some detail on what happened with MLM launch formula. In future weeks, I will discuss some of the other programs, what I did, and the results. I would love you to leave comments with your experience so that future readers will get a more balanced opinion that that of my individual journey with this.</p>
<h2>The Learning Phase.</h2>
<p>I listened to all 6 webinars. Much of it made sense. There was so much information, that I started to feel even more overwhelmed than usual. This course has enormous content. I was prepared to try it all out.</p>
<p>I had started a new MLM, one which complements my marketing efforts. I believe in video, so Talk Fusion seemed a sensible option. It is now paying me a monthly income, adding an additional stream to my portfolio, and I love the video emails. If you are on my list, you will get one about this article! I thought this would be a great product to do a launch on, so I plunged into it.</p>
<h2>I Set Up My MLM Launch</h2>
<p>I took all the emails they stressed would work, and modified them to reflect my personal information. I have a great story, so that was fine. I was uneasy about the direct approach, which is a little uncomfortable for me, but I did it anyway.</p>
<p>I put my webinar together, using Ryan Deiss&#8217;s Video Sales Letter format combined with ideas from Jonathon Budd. I think it looks pretty cool. I even set up a perpetual launch formula version which I have scheduled every Wednesday. Again, it seems like a pretty cool idea.</p>
<p>I contacted the people who I met on the launch formula and told them about it, plus I initiated the email sequence to a list of 280 people. Most of these were fairly fresh leads. Now all I had to do was wait for the registrations!</p>
<h2>The Results</h2>
<p>Well, 5 new people registered for the webinars. There was one enquiry from a fellow MLM launch student, and a couple of onlookers who are already in my organization. Of those, none turned up on the night, and I haven&#8217;t heard from them since. That means no matter how good the webinar was, with no one watching it, there was no possibility of getting any business! So there I am after many hours spent on this project, that I could have put into other known ways to build my business, with nothing to show for my efforts!</p>
<p>I am only one person, and I would very much appreciate any comments or suggestions as to why this didn&#8217;t work. Perhaps you have tried this too. Perhaps you can shed some light on some of the other guru projects out there. You may be thinking I am hopeless, or my mindset is wrong, or whatever. Maybe so, but I have done pretty well over the years. I don&#8217;t think you get $15,000 in a single month in commission if you are useless!</p>
<h2>Lessons Learnt</h2>
<p>I am not very fond of BS. That is why I only exposed this to a small list. I am going back to being honest with my contacts, of telling my story, warts and all, just like this article. That way you know that when I shout my successes, they are genuine. By following me, you will get my experience, and hopefully add yours, to help others navigate their way through the hype and fancy copywriting to a place where they can put their heart and soul into projects knowing that you can get real results! I know we live in tough times. One has to be more discerning these days. The challenge is that if you throw your money at some fancy scheme and it doesn&#8217;t produce, you are left in an even more vulnerable position and may be forced to go back to a JOB instead of creating a life of freedom for your family!</p>
<p>Thanks for taking the time to read all of this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we relax in our 14<sup>th</sup> story hotel room on luxurious Hamilton Island, it is once again a time to reflect on the great things of Network marketing.</p>
<div id="attachment_165" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 293px"><img class="size-full wp-image-165" title="Hamilton Island" src="http://johngaydon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/hamilton.jpg" alt="John Gaydon relaxing on a reward trip." width="283" height="213" /><p class="wp-caption-text">John Gaydon relaxing on a reward trip.</p></div>
<p>Here I am at Sails restaurant overlooking the magnificent Whitsunday Islands. This is truly paradise on earth!</p>
<p>We won this trip, the 4<sup>th</sup> with one of the networking companies I represent, purely on business gained from the internet! It is the result of distributors and customers added using some of the techniques I have developed over the last 5 years.</p>
<p>Five years ago, I was considering my future with this company. My income had dwindled to almost nothing and my garage was filling up with product! Something had to change.</p>
<p>As selling my monthly regular order of 6 bottles of a product I could only use one of just wasn’t happening, I decided that even if I lost money on sales, it was better than throwing outdated product away! I put together a web page and started a PPC campaign.</p>
<p>The first few months, sales were very slow. I didn’t recoup advertising costs, but I sold enough product to cover my ads, if you didn’t include the product cost. I had a bit more in my pocket!</p>
<p>I kept going and started refining my ads and web page. I did some testing. Well, after 5 months, things started to change. At one stage my monthly income from this reached over $4,000 in commission and I had several networkers join my team just from that google ad and web page. That is the reason we are at Hamilton Island. We regularly appear on the top 10 volume distributors and top 10 enrollers in the company.</p>
<p>Readers of this blog will know that I have developed my Multilevel Marketing Customer Acquisition System, designed to market MLM products on the internet. I have used this with several products from several companies with great success. My personal result is a total of 17 reward trips to exotic places paid for by 3 different Network Marketing companies in the last 6 years! This product is nearing completion as I add the finishing touches with some of the latest information I have learned about internet marketing. This came from blood, sweat and tears, following a number of “Gurus.” Some of their ideas worked, and many didn’t, at least in this field. I can only recommend what work for me. I know they can work for you too. Of all of the other myriad of ideas, many didn’t work for me and some I really can’t comment on.</p>
<p>More recently, I realised that like it or not, getting a constant stream of customers is only part of the answer. To stay successful in MLM, we need to continuously bring on new distributors. As a result, I am now laser focusing my efforts on a system to achieve just that. The Lead Generation Domination System, soon to be released, enables anyone to build a lead list. I show you how to make a profit generating your own leads, and how to ramp the system up to get as many leads as you like! This is a very exciting project.</p>
<p>So watch for more information in the next few weeks. There are two ways you can guarantee to get notification of this new program. You can subscribe to the RSS feed of this blog, or fill out the “Come Fly With Me” form so you will receive notification when the system is released.</p>
<p>I expect this to go viral, and using my methods, simply enrolling 10 people in the program could net you $650 or more.</p>
<p>I will let you in on one more secret. The cost is nowhere near $650! It will be below $60. The best part is, no monthly fees. You pay once and that’s it.</p>
<p>Oh well, back to the beach!</p>
<p>John</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I want to let you in on a secret I have been guarding for a few weeks.</p>
<h2>My SEO History</h2>
<p>For years, I have dedicated much of my time to cracking the code to search engine traffic. You see &#8220;liquid zeolite&#8221; alone, as a search term has over 8,100 searches a month on google. That means for those lucky people who have their web pages on page 1 of google, they will be seen by 8,100 people every month!</p>
<p>These are people who want to purchase Liquid Zeolite, or find out more about it. They are prospective customers and business associates for your business. Every time, as a premier, one of these people purchase a Pacesetter pack, you receive over $200US in commissions &#8211; not bad when SEO traffic is free!</p>
<h2>MLM Customer Acquisition System Is Part Of The Solution</h2>
<p>You know about my MLM Customer Aquisition system I am back to work now steadily publishing articles and optimising web pages according to the rules I taught you. It helps and my blog at http://detoxzeolite.com is suddenly increasing in visitors to the tune of 206 plus visitors a day. It was 130 in January! That&#8217;s a 53% increase in just 2 months.</p>
<p>After many months building my other site, http://zeolitereview.org, I know that it wasn&#8217;t all clever articles and videos. In fact I paid $470US to someone to build links to the site over 2 months to get traffic up. It worked and for a couple of months I had over 800 visitors a week to http://zeolitereview.org</p>
<p>Trouble is, as soon as I stopped paying for the link building, traffic plummeted and in a few weeks the site disappeared from the google radar!</p>
<h2>New Technology Changes Everything</h2>
<p>Then I found EVO. This is a computer who acts like a person. I spend 5 minutes setting this system up and it then works all night building links to any website or page I wish for any keyword I want. Now I want you to picture what I am doing here.</p>
<p>First I do all the stuff in MLMCAS to produce a keyword rich article. I load it up using <a href="http://bit.ly/bYF2xb">SubmitYOURArticle</a> article submission service.</p>
<p>I tried submitting articles myself and I came up with all sorts of challenges. First, this service checks your article before it gets to the directories, which means you won&#8217;t get banned or have to do extensive rewrites. The people at submityourarticle do all this for you.</p>
<p>Second, it is better to submit your article to all of the article directories before you widely distribute it using EVO&#8217;s magick.</p>
<p>These directories are picky and don&#8217;t like duplicate content.</p>
<p>My final part is to let EVO go to work, generating RSS feeds, links from high ranked web sites, blog posts, etc to boost my page up the rankings and get listed on google, yahoo and the other search engines.</p>
<h2>Just Look At The Results!</h2>
<p>Here are some of my keyword rankings, just to prove a point.</p>
<ul>
<li>Liquid Zeolite     42 (was 181)</li>
<li>cancer zeolite     15 (4,400 searches a month for this term) I have an article lodged at submityourarticle.com which has position 7 on google.com right now. That&#8217;s first page exposure!</li>
<li>zeolite detox     3</li>
<li>activated zeolite 14</li>
</ul>
<p>I am now really excited. As my traffic builds, I get more enquiries and more sales, enough for 8 Pacesetters last month or $1,600 in commission just from pack sales. Add that to the Emerald bonus of $800 or so and you can see why I like what I do!</p>
<h2>Want To Know More?</h2>
<p>I know this is not for everyone. There is a price to pay! So if you would like to get the link building tool I am using to crash tackle the search engines and make them mine, <a href="http://www.bruteforceseo.com/?offer=6D75650070DC">click here</a></p>
<p>Just listen to the audio and follow along with what is on the page. I believe you can get in right now, but it won&#8217;t last. Peter Drew, an aussie genius who came up with this, limits the number of people to have access to this dynamite system so as not to flood the internet.</p>
<p>Anyway, if you are interested in dominating the search engines, I will teach you and point you to the tools to get you there fast.</p>
<h2>Remember 2 great resources.</h2>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://bit.ly/bYF2xb">SubmitYOURArticle</a> to get your articles all over the internet and get listed in the search engines.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.bruteforceseo.com/?offer=6D75650070DC">EVO</a> to build links to your site, create RSS feeds and distribute content to blogs, bulletin boards, and high PR web sites.</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial">You can call me (John Gaydon) on (02) 4340 2711 (Australia), 1 (213) 784-0905 (USA) or skype john_gaydon and I am happy to answer your questions on this. Before this program I had very few links to my web sites. Now I am slowly starting to dominate search engine rankings and I can tell you that after just 2 weeks, I am sneaking up on the websites with the top positions in my niche. Watch what happens over the next few weeks, or become part of the action. You get a full 7 day trial with this software.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial">PS I am still in the process of completing the MLMCAS package. I want it to be dynamite and it will include some great bonuses. In fact I think the bonuses may be worth the eventual price of the course!<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial">This is an exciting time to be an entrepreneur as we trail Blaze new ways to generate the income to provide for ourselves and our family&#8217;s futures.<br />
</span></p>
