New-Rich Blogger

We are told in countless surveys today, inherited money is dying off, along with the perpetuation of privilege through family names that matter more than skill and ideas. The new rich are self-made. Wealth is ruled by the entrepreneur - risk takers for whom wealth is a byproduct of pursuing their passion.

 

July 24, 2008   $1million In Google AdWords Free

Yeah, I know. I didn’t believe it either. I hate to tell you how long I’ve been using AdWords for my advertising, and how much money every month I have paid Google for the privilege; even if my ads did not produce any sales!

Pay-per-click is not the easiest skill to perfect yet sales results are surprisingly higher than any other known advertising system. There are many factors to learn – keywords, relevance to the squeeze page, high competition, bids for preferred placement, cost per click and all done with your ad of 97 characters or less! Ouch.

One can choose to have their ads shown ONLY in the search engines or on relevant websites as well. If your ad is not targeted to a specific audience, you may pay for many clicks made by the merely curious.  A “specifically worded ad” will draw a person looking to buy.

Expect a lot of trial and error before you get all this honed to a point where your return on investment (ROI) pleases you.

So here’s my point: if your Google AdWords are free, there is no investment. You would be operating daily in profit -- pure and simple. Therefore – if someone can hand you the “code” why wouldn’t you jump? I would -- and I did.

So powerful is this secret that you will be able to monopolize any niche online and secure TOP premium spots just above the usual organic results featured at most search engines.

One particular Search Engine owner considers this strategy quite unique, and in his opinion, “it can only serve to bring MORE, not less business” (just in case you were questioning the legality of it all).

July 22, 2008   Relevance is the Key

Today it’s a given that Affiliate Marketing is the “easy money” if you want to stay home and earn the big bucks. You don’t have to own a website, or a product. You don’t fret shipping or returns. You don’t even get concerned with payments. That’s what I’m talking about: easy!

Clickbank appears to be everyone’s favorite choice for a product to sell. Not only do they have 25,000 to choose from, but you will be given your dollar percent earned when you make a sale, and a personal link that attaches your name to any sale you make. Again: easy!

Google AdWords is now acknowledged as the most profitable place to advertise your products, bar none. No one on the Internet comes anywhere close to their pay-per-click program. But unless you know what you are doing you can end the month with no sales and a huge bill.

Relevance is the key. Your ad must match what Tom, Dick and Harry will type into the Search Engine to find YOUR product. What could that be? Not easy!

You may think up a dozen or so keywords or phrases, but you will never have a complete collection to design your ad around. It’s quite impossible.

Brad Callen knew that, but then he’s an exceptional Entrepreneur – the kind that sees a problem and creates the solution: KeywordElite.

July 20, 2008   Keyword Elite

Breaking News:

“Revolutionary new software sending shockwaves through the Internet…….”

Well, “shockwave” was a good word for what I experienced, and this is ONE of FIVE programs within Keyword Elite with a visual presentation for the introduction of this extraordinary software.  Brad Callen is breaking all the rules again!

Minimum effort for maximum results. I know my ads must be based on keywords or keyword phrases – without relevant keywords, my ad is just so much text, no sales. I was curious about Brad’s new invention. I already knew how much time I had spent looking for relevant keywords for every ad I placed, so I clicked on the link for a visual presentation.

He punched in a keyword phrase – and viola! Up came thousands of phrases all using that keyword.

Keyword phrases are YOUR secret to phenomenal online success. The best part is we have almost limitless phrases for any keyword. The trick is - finding them all.

Ordinary people just like you are using keyword phrases and pay-per-click advertising, shoveling incredible amounts of money into their bank accounts. We’re talking four, five or even six-figure incomes every month using nothing but a computer and this software!

Now… if you don’t want to use this miracle software for yourself, at least go to the link and see the advantage your competitors have; then think about this as you write your next advertisement.

July 16, 2008    This Land is “Their” Land

From the get-go let me say that I have always admired all those millions of people and their fortitude in coming to America, following all the many requirements that would, and did make them a citizen. But somewhere along the line it seems that Woody Guthrie’s 1940 song has been changed to suit the cheaters.

Theodore Roosevelt’s idea on Immigrants and being an American was as follows – and I quote:

     “In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people”

I believe every American citizen needs to read this. When he refers to “but something else also”, he meant the hyphenated American citizen; i.e. Asian-American. One language, one flag, one loyalty. I can’t agree more.

Today I see us as passive citizens sitting at a poker table with other players. We all put our money on the table, but there is a cheater among us. I know it, and everyone else knows it. When he wins the big pot and walks away with our money (tax dollars), no one objects, they all look the other way -- so he decides to bring his brother to the next game.

 Referring to the motto “American for Americans”, Roosevelt also added: “…the salvation of our people lies in having a nationalized and unified America, ready for the tremendous tasks of both war and peace”.

Amen.


July 14, 2008    Google Nemesis 

                             “…but I knew there had to be a better way to make money without all the stress. And I was determined to find it. That was the beginning of my long and eventful search for a money-making system. My greatest fear in life was having to work for someone else for the rest of my life. So I had to keep going, to find a way out of that miserable existence.”

These are not MY words, but they might as well have been. I quoted from Google Wealth Wizard, but when I got to that paragraph, it seemed like it came directly from my head, my voice. It’s the same feeling I have had for over ten years working as an affiliate marketer on the Internet.

Of course I was glued to this book taking notes as I went along. I was familiar with Clickbank and AdWords, so I thought I was in familiar waters. But suddenly I was being taught what all the others had left out – after all, it was not in their best interest to make me a Super Affiliate, right?

The trick they all seem to follow is to tell enough to make you think you have the “secret”, but of course it falls short of the mark… on purpose.

So I’m going to spread the word to anyone who ever wanted to make money on the Internet, and to do it the easy way, by following this new instructional program Chapter by Chapter and smile when you pat yourself on the back because you did it!

Once you recognize your first $100/day, do it again, and again; so simple when you have the whole puzzle.

July 8, 2008    Proven Online Money

I love the America’s Cup races. Both boats are supposed to be exactly the same and both crews have top-notch athletes. But in spite of this there is always a winner. One of them had some secret up their sleeve that tipped the balance and enabled them to win. For decades it was the American entry.

That secret – that tiny, slim edge!

It isn’t any different with your Internet business. If you were lucky enough to join a tested, scam-free program you still need that slim edge to gather more sales than your fellow competitors.

Will it be the places you advertise? Or the keywords you inserted in those ads? Or have you found out that paid ads bring better qualified buyers? I found an edge and I don’t mind sharing it with you. It came to me free when I joined this six-figure program. The free site they gave me as a bonus was “Adwords for Beginners” (a $49.95 value).

I thought I knew everything about Google’s Adwords, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn some tricks the gurus never taught me. Using this method to promote my six-figure income site was quick money. So look over this site for your “slim edge”.

July 5, 2008    Hypnotic Marketing

Long ago I was a subscriber to Joe Vitale’s Hypnotic Marketing techniques for writing Articles and Essays. Well, any author of over 20 books on the subject must have something worthwhile to say, right?

Learning how to get what you want from someone has to be clear in your own mind first. Are you selling a product, looking for a one night stand, or trying to form a partnership for your business? Determine upfront what you want and direct the conversation appropriately. Otherwise you may send mixed messages which will only confuse the other person and undermine their trust.

Today, there is new material available to influence anyone to follow your lead – invaluable to get clients and customers to buy from you. Read this material and negotiate with stellar success, get just about anyone to say “yes”, or have your children and teens obey your commands without an argument.

Igor Ledochowski is a master hypnotist, and trains hypnotherapists in advanced skills for professional hypnotherapists’ bodies like the London College of Clinical Hypnosis.

When Joe Vitale read his material on using conversational hypnosis, he said, “I’ve never seen or heard anything this complete, powerful or convincing. I love it”!

June 24, 2008     Top 10 Work At Home Opportunities

Whether your goal is a Home Business, a Home Job, or Cash Surveys – this website will give you the Top 10 already rated, proven and scam free. You couldn’t find a better starting place than here.

A Home Business has higher earning potential than the other two choices but not everyone is ready for the upfront task involved with setting up their own business.

The only Home Job listed here is all you need – over 1500 listings make this the one and only top choice. Actually it has no other competition because no other can match its qualities.

Cash Surveys carries 3 options: one is superior and rated as #1 with the highest paying list of surveys to choose from. The other two were very similar to each other and both proved to be scam free with a 9 out of 10 rating, so we listed them as #2 and #3 because they are a bit cheaper to join. The more surveys you take, the more money you earn. Work as little or hard as you wish.

The owner of this website, Jessica Miller, has reviewed and discounted nearly 2000 opportunities on the Internet. These are her top ten picks. You can set up your own business, opt for a cash paying job, or join one of her picks for cash surveys. We mention “cash” because most survey opportunities pay you with “credits” or “chances to win” like some lottery. I don’t know about you, but when I perform a task, I want a paycheck, not chances or credits.

June 10, 2008    The Benefits of Plan B

I love a happy ending as much as the next guy, but it’s getting more and more difficult to find a “good feeling” story to tell you.

Money problems plague the homes of many; there never seems to be enough. Food is skyrocketing because of gasoline prices and our Democratic Congress is stuck in neutral. Nobody wants any more drilling, nuclear power plants, or windmills spoiling the view of oceanfront properties yet energy has to come from somewhere.

As we all watch the election coverage, it certainly appears that stalling any positive action is going to bring the American family to its knees. While we decide if we should buy a gallon of milk or a gallon of gas, it begins to look as if we have to park the car to feed the family; “work from home” is going to take on a whole new meaning.

Finally -- the benefits of Plan B: the key is adaptability and the willingness to lose what was, and to accept a necessary challenge. It’s never too late to learn something new and for our very survival and each of us better make a start. Rare is the household that does not have a computer. Put it to work for you; it’s now your salvation.

May 10, 2008      Breaking News for Sponsors 

If you have spent any time on the Internet, joined any program hoping to make an income that would take you out of the workplace, then you have no doubt sponsored a Referral or Recruit.  These members are your bread & butter.

Sponsoring a new member to any program is a responsibility. Most will never need your help but they should know from the get-go that you are a real person. This is done by a brief letter of introduction. How hard can that be?

Yet I get emails stating that of all the programs they have joined, I was the first Sponsor that actually contacted them. I would tag you as lazy and rude, but it is a common practice today; sign them up, cut the line and set them adrift! These are Sponsors who fall in the 95% failure rut.

Last week when I joined a Marketing Management System, I began to make myself familiar with everything that it offered. I read a letter from my Sponsor and one from the CEO assuring me that I was not alone in learning the many benefits they offered.

Furthermore, the CEO plainly stated that should any new member be unhappy with the performance of their Sponsor’s help, they may request a “replacement”.

Well, well… somebody is setting a precedent and it’s about time. Heads up, Sponsors, you could lose some bread & butter.

April 26, 2008      Coming Back to the Truth

You have probably been selling online for years and not because you chose selling – it chose you. The best opportunities are in sales; we knew that from the get-go. As a kid we wanted to be a firefighter, figure-skater or a famous singer. No kid I know ever said, “I want a career in sales”. Get real.

BUT… wouldn’t it be great to come upon a sales pitch that has no intention of making you dependent upon them in any way? We all know something honest when we see it and we know the opposite as well. People love you for being down to earth in your presentation. We have radar for authenticity, it seems, because it’s what we respond to. Hype, BS and exaggerated profits based on overused information just won’t fly anymore.

For any success to be guaranteed -- you need to understand what you are doing and why it will work.

There it is; all in one sentence. This will leave no doubt in your mind that each day’s effort will be another step toward making you wealthy. The Internet is the business marketplace of the future, nobody can doubt that.

Here’s where you make a choice and it won’t cost you a penny.

April 20, 2008       The New Working-Poor

In varying degrees other people might see us on the positive side as having an active social life, lucky in love, or holding down a well-paying job. Our life might appear to be enviable to them because they can’t see our innermost fear of “how will I make the month?”

Living payday to payday is not living at all – it’s like sitting on a fault line. To maintain day-to-day expenses we are taking on record amounts of consumer debt. This makes us incredibly anxious and stressed out. As hard working citizens we are being squeezed from every direction.

The last of America’s middle-class is fading in the rearview mirror. We compete with 1.3 billion Chinese and 1.1 billion India citizens for our jobs. One source claims that Bank of America should not even be allowed to have “America” in their title.

If you are not a CEO or stockholder of an “outsourcing” company, you better find some income which depends on no one but yourself. The best place for this is on the Internet; give it every spare minute you have until you find the answer.

Only then can you go to sleep when you lie down.

April 13, 2008       The Private Millionaire

There are a lot of smart people in the world but not all of them are Millionaires. All Private Millionaires however, are smart people because they know better than to work for a paycheck; it is not the path to wealth.

They don’t drive Fords, but you will rarely see them in a Ferrari because it draws attention to their wealth and opens the door to unwelcome opportunists. They live in a modest home… not an estate, and they don’t feel any pain at the gas pump. Some have children; all with good study habits because they are being geared for college.

To join these “Private Millionaires” one needs to get acquainted with one. When this happens you might be surprised at how easy it is to follow in their footsteps.

If clear and straightforward instructions do not overwhelm you, one might inquire further for a lifetime of wealth. Your journey would begin with $4,000,000 and how you can begin collecting this within the next few weeks.

April 4, 2008       Make More or Desire Less

A student once stood up and pointed out, “If I had more money I would have a better plan.” To which the teacher responded, “I would suggest that if you had a better plan, you would have more money.” This may be a bit of tortured logic, but it does put working for a paycheck in perspective.

Even if you manage to get yearly promotions and pay increases, your lifestyle will magically upgrade as well; a new car, first home, a dream vacation. More money does not make a better plan. 

If the recipe sucks it doesn’t matter how good a cook you are. The Internet, not the workforce, is perfect for anyone who wants to become independent without risking a lot of money.  Add to this the fact that you don’t need to have any special education or background to get started on your independence. .

As of March, 2008 -- 28 million Americans are on food stamps. This is the highest level in the USA; ever! For many, food stamps are a low bench-mark they never thought they would see. Now is the time for a better plan. This time, let your money work for you.

March 31, 2008       Internet Pollution

Internet pollution is no different than some of our urban scenes like girly cafes and car-title lenders, trash strewn back yards, broken sidewalks and graffiti covered bridges. Websites afflicted with a similar blight are just as destructive; banners that promise weight loss in a pill, payday loans, enhancement ads that popup or slide across, and a multitude of offers that are ethically suspect and probably illegal.

In urban neighborhoods the results are obvious; the residents flee, businesses move out, and property values go down. But damages caused by online pollution reaches beyond the devaluation of the owner’s website. It results in a common perception of the Internet as an unsafe place to do business.

Webmasters need to self police their offers. Would you want your mother to see what you are promoting, or sign up for that free trial that’s going to hit her credit card every month? Are your promotions iffy at best? Are you making a profit selling an e-book that is merely regurgitated material, or some new spyware known to botch up some computers?

If you are running unethical offers, you are polluting the internet and increasing consumer distrust. This lowers click-through rates and in the end will hurt even your own income.

Promoting your personal programs that you know firsthand will earn a fair return for everyone who follows you, is the honest way to go.

March 27, 2008      Imagineering

Here’s a clever word that seems to imply anybody’s favorite ‘dreaming spot’. For me it began many years ago when I promised myself I would have an independent lifestyle -- free of financial worries. My dreaming spot was on the beach with only noisy gulls and the passive slaps of tidal waves. There I could let go of everything.

Like books, poetry or songwriting, ideas are formed by Imagineering… shaped in the heart and nurtured by the intellect until the whole idea comes together and is born, not created. Once you have put some effort upfront hopefully you can sit back as your dream takes on a life of its own.

Others may catch your dream and model their own after it, and that’s okay. There’s no corner on creativity, and no end to online opportunities. I like passive/residual incomes because they earn more while working less. It’s making your money work for you.

You may have a different dream. Imagineering will inspire and arouse you to act until the only question will be, “when and how?”

March 20, 2008  Clarity Is Power

I read somewhere that during World War II if an unidentified soldier stepped out of the dark and could not state his mission, he was automatically shot without question. A mission, or more to the point, a mission statement is in essence a verbal or written reason for being – simple or complex.

It is said to be your key to finding a path in life; a sort of template to refine one’s activities. Many seek career counselors and take expensive tests, all to determine their strengths and weaknesses. This defines their purpose and direction -- a mission.

The number one most deadly fear of all people seems to be “having lived a meaningless life”. Many gasped at the announcement that the President of American Express had quit his $4,000,000 job. His reason was to look “for a life”.

Once you develop a mission statement broad enough to cover your interests and activities both on and off the job, your life will begin to make sense… “this is what I’m about”. Throughout life each of us must constantly face two questions: where now, and what next?

With a mission you will easily know the answer. Clarity is power.

March 17, 2008  The Cheese Story

Spencer Johnson, M.D., is the author of a story with a simple parable that reveals some very profound truths. He uses four characters that live in a mouse-maze and spend their days looking for cheese that will nourish and make them happy.

Two of these characters are mice named Sniff and Scurry.  The other two are miniature humans named Hem and Haw. “Cheese” is a metaphor for what we want in life – love, money, health, spiritual peace.

The “maze” is where you search for what you want in life. In our case, it is the Internet. As you run through the maze and you find some cheese, you write what you have learned on the walls of this Maze. Others in the same situation will come upon your information and see -- “the handwriting on the wall”.

If they trust your writings, they will enjoy less stress and greater success in their lifetime. But of course, some will hem and haw and hesitate to act on your valuable knowledge. Others like Sniff and Scurry will continue to run aimlessly around the maze; still unsatisfied, still looking.

March 9, 2008  Hello, Goodbye

I am so-o-o yesterday. The older I get, the more I believe this.

Cutbacks in the newspaper industry are becoming more frequent due to Internet and television keeping us abreast of current events. We no longer have to wait for our evening paper to tell us what has happened during the day.

It came as no surprise therefore when I followed a news snippet -- yet another newspaper was engaged in a serious cutback. What was surprising was the method they used.

Over the intercom, all employees were notified that this cutback would cover several hundred employees. They would be notified by phone if they were on the short list. Everyone was cautioned to answer their phone until 10:00pm. If they were not called they were to report to work as usual on Monday.

Some would say that it is kinder to the employee who does not have to be called into the boss’s glass-front office while everyone gawks from their Dilbert cubes. Others claim it saves confrontations, often leaving blood on the carpet. What ever happened to pink slips?

Getting fired over the phone is about as impersonal as you can get. Employees with higher salaries are naturally in the crosshairs in all money based cutbacks. Your degrees, creative writing talents and stellar attendance may only get you a better bridge to sleep under tonight.

If you are murmuring to yourself, “…this could be me”, then do something right here, right now. Investigate this opportunity that saved me and turn that call into “Hello – Hello”.             http://tinyurl.com/2bsuvn 


February 21, 2008 Everybody’s Doin’ It, Doin’ It, Doin’ It

Bees are doin’ it. So too schools of fish and millions of wildebeests. Birds have been doin’ it for centuries, gracefully flocking in a particular direction without knowing or caring where they are headed.  The leader knows and that’s enough.

Human beings are no exception to the herding instinct.  But this tendency to follow comes at a cost that few have considered.   Psychologically, it’s easier to follow the decision of someone else because when you follow their decision and something goes wrong, it’s not your fault.  Yet you share the loss whether you admit it or not.

In a herd there is only one winner, the one at the front leading the herd. The leader always eats first, drinks first and decides where the others are going.

In a study of the super-successful people, most if not all were found to be “contrarians”.  They broke away from the herd. Edison, Rockefeller, Churchill, Walton, Ford, King, Gandhi and others – all had reputations as contrarians.  Their thinking was contrary to the “mass-thinkers”. 

What did they have that you do not have? Not a blessed thing! 

What do YOU have that they did not have? The Internet gold rush!

February 17, 2008   In Matters of Money

Hallmark sold 85,000 “Happy 100th Birthday” cards last year. Ouch!

Are you living longer than you thought you would? I know people that would answer that question in the affirmative mostly because they could not set a retirement plan in place. During their work-life things did not always work out as planned and many found themselves living from paycheck to paycheck.

During most careers things that were covered by company benefits like dental, vision, or medical tests are not fully covered by Medicare. Hearing aids alone can run $6,000 and false teeth are off the chart. Because these come at a later age some are never covered at all. Even with a pension the immediate purchasing power of a retiree today is reduced by 30%.

If the above fits your situation, you are clinging to your bottom-rung job just to avoid a lesser lifestyle. Your path may be different from mine but I’m guessing we have some things in common.

Both of us have given power over our lives to other people time and again. We have searched for a viable way out and we’ve certainly had our share of train wrecks with Internet opportunities. I blog now as a distillation of what I’ve learned as I succeeded on the Net; but I’m still a work in progress.

All experience is good. Your past is useful. Take a good look at it, but don’t stare. Now -- fast forward to fun and fulfillment while you follow me. You’ll thrive, not simply survive.

February 10, 2008                Are You Who You Say You Are?   

Fraudulent Credit Card use has reached epic proportions. One of my programs had to shut down in December and is still not back up because of a 3.5 million dollar mess. It interrupts business, gives banks a migraine and leaves its members hot under the collar. It’s unfair to all honest people!

The result?  They simply stop accepting credit cards. PayPal has frozen accounts for various reasons and few businesses will risk that. They are favoring Egold, SolidTrustPay and AlertPay, and who can blame them. These merchant accounts are also wary of fraud and put any new membership through the wringer.

Prove your email address by replying to ours – prove your physical address by sending a copy of any monthly statement with your name and address on it – prove your bank account by verifying our two minimal deposits on the proper form. Some require an enlarged photo copy of your driver’s license… front and back. It’s almost like you’re guilty until proven innocent.

If you are searching the Net for home-income, your best bet is to get “verified” by one or more of the above merchants. Allow two weeks to prove to them that you are who you say you are. Once verified, you can join almost any program with no delay. 

For a true breakthrough of the no-sponsoring system, try this with Egold or AlertPay: http://tinyurl.com/2bsuvn 


February 6, 2008                   Chasing the Dollar

Unemployment in my state is 6.7; there are states higher, and a few that are lower. If you are chasing the dollar today then you probably are searching for a new road to independence and what better place to search then on the Internet. You don’t need tea-leaves to look for your answer.

On a whim really, I joined a program simply because they had a “trial” membership for 14 days. They claimed 100% of their members earn money from day one and no recruiting was ever required. Yeah, right… I told myself. Their product is advertising so while I tested them with a “trial” membership I could advertise one of my other programs for free. That’s where it all began.

As my two weeks progressed, my (1) “trial” position began to cycle over and over earning me small amounts of money. I was impressed. Meanwhile, my advertisement was bringing in new prospects; so far, so good. Each “position” costs $10 so I decided to purchase 10 new ones. My trial position plus all it had earned over 2 weeks was given to me as an “active” member.

Here’s where it gets really interesting: as my 11 positions cycled over and over daily, funds began to build up. When they reached $45.00, I re-purchased 4 more positions and now my 15 were cycling and earning funds faster. The following week I re-purchased 9 more, and each week as the funds multiplied, I re-purchased.

Of course you can cash out some of your money if you need to. But my plan is to continue to purchase new positions until I reach 500. Some have done this already for an income of $500,000+ annually.  

This is so effortless I had to share it with you.   http://tinyurl.com/22juxm 


January 28, 2008               Can You Type?   

The chance for you to become financially free with a home office and reasonable income is very real possibility, and much closer than you think. Can you type? I don’t mean fast – just simply, can you type? Do you have a computer with access to the Internet? If your answer is yes and yes, what’s stopping you?

I have friends who only put in a few hours and make a few hundred extra bucks each month. They see it as entertainment and an easy way to add to their retirement packages. I also have friends who make thousands a month. And still others who make tens of thousands a month.

I guess the only question to ask is, how much do you want and how badly do you want it? You don’t really need me to get started, but perhaps I can save you time and wasted money in trial and error. The Internet a-glitter with millions of offers but finding the gems is the trick.

I like to run a long-term program with payouts like $8k plus.  But I need a few short-term ones to keep gas in my car and food on the table.  Some short-term programs pay from day one with no recruiting. Others require a filled matrix of 2x2 (6 members)… BUT they will fill that for you since their very product is – advertising!   Viola!

Okay, I’m not going to leave you hanging. Here are two of those short-term winners:  http://tinyurl.com/2bsuvn     http://tinyurl.com/2dftg2  


January 24, 2008   I Am Not One of the Big Dogs

It took me years to walk safely through the minefield of Internet offers and find a handful of honest programs that allowed me to work-at-home. Now a confirmed entrepreneur, I continue my search for more gems but I know many of you are being scammed right now. It happens every day.

The best Internet income is still “residual or leveraged” money and that can usually be found in a matrix setup. But the way-back style of these programs has changed. Today all selling, convincing, and explaining has been eliminated, all cold calling, selling to your friends and family – eliminated, all monthly fees – eliminated.

Today there is a revolutionary accelerate cycle system that will turn $10 into 2 million. No matrix to fill or sponsoring is required; a simple and true working, no-sponsoring system that pays from day one, month after month.

Out of curiosity, I joined $10 Wonder by purchasing 10 positions at $10 each for a total of $100. Since that time, I have used my earnings to slowly and consistently re-purchase additional positions. My vision is to own the maximum allowed of 500 positions. At 235 the earnings are $40 to $50 daily and growing.

Good news is: 100% of participated members earn from day one and it never stops. With patience and this new system, you too can do exactly what I have done using your own speed. You can withdraw your earnings or re-purchase more advertising positions, or both.

And, $10 Wonder understands that many of us have been burnt in the past, so they offer a free trial. Join and watch your free position earn daily. It convinced me.

I do spread the word about this opportunity to help build the membership because it benefits everyone, including myself. More members = faster cycles.     http://tinyurl.com/2bsuvn 


January 5, 2008    Fear of Failure Inhibits Creativity

Our culture appears to be drifting into an unwholesome view of success and failure. Everyone wants instant success; time is of the essence and life is too short to struggle. Admittedly, we live in insecure times and no one is surprised that we’ve lost the meaning of a “good job”.

Some look for a business with a short-term windfall rather than a sustainable source of income. Many seek fortunes through lotteries and lawsuits rather than hard work. They have the illusion that government is there to protect them from any harm and will even rescue them from insurmountable debts.

From the sidelines, it seems that rock bands or football players suddenly appear on the scene earning millions of dollars. Actually it took years of hard work and many, many failures to find success.  The same is true for entrepreneurs. Many will tell their story of being on the brink of failure, but they persevered.

During the climb to success you will find a way to buy food, put gas in the car or pay the rent. You will find a way to keep the wolves from your doorstep long enough to make it through the next month. When you finally have to admit something is not working, you will move on to the next one that might and take with you the lesson you learned.

Failure builds character and it is the fear of failure that inhibits creativity and keeps us from ultimate success.


December 26, 2007    A Pink Christmas

From every phase of education including the arts and media, entrepreneurs have greatly impacted the world throughout history. Cutting the bonds from dominating bosses with the possibility to make their own decisions is one of the lures of starting an online business. Some build from scratch while others risk it all chasing their dreams, but each one dramatically changes their lives as well as ours.

Hardly a week goes by that I don’t see another corporate closing its doors or a small town factory passing out pick slips. Coal mines collapse never to open again. Skill Tool and Die closes its auto parts plant on Cleveland’s West Side. Even a Flight Factory Simulations facility will close its doors by the New Year.

It’s hard enough to face unemployment but to get a pick slip for the holidays must be a joyless Christmas for those families. But this can also be a wakeup call, a shot of reality that sends a clear signal. We desperately want to have the freedom to do what we want, when we want and with whom we want. 

“I would have done it long ago”, I hear you say, “but I can’t recruit people. Why can’t I join a program and pay someone to do this for me?”

The good news is – you can! Every member is placed in the advertising rotator to receive their required number of members. When your matrix is filled, you are paid… plus you receive a new entry, over and over again.

Merry Christmas

December 17, 2007 - Winning the Rat Race

Lily Tomlin said it best: “The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win you’re still a rat.” So why do people run that race all of their lives working for someone else’s wealth when they could be creating their own?

Admittedly, work provides three essential life components: Structure – getting up at the same time each morning, where to go, how long to stay there and when to return home. Community – a social fabric for relating to other people. Purpose – a focus, a goal within a given time frame.

Even an online business takes structure in the form of discipline. As CEO of your own business you will want to keep a steady eye on all facets of your business. Nobody wants to neglect this and find a Friday-surprise!

Getting out every day for an hour or two is healthy, and volunteering yourself to a needy cause keeps your social fabric in good shape. Your goals should always be updated or refined as you succeed in your business.

My focus is on creating perpetual income. I have no degrees, am not a guru by anybody’s standard, and I hate selling! Even with a minimum of common sense, you can step out of your rat race forever.

December 10, 2007 - It’s Like Magic – Perpetual Income

Magic was a good word to attach to the 2x2magic opportunity because when some of us joined last week we cycled and doubled our investment in 3 days. We wish you had been with us for the excitement. To double our money even before the program went “public” was a first for me and many that joined with me.

Eventually there will be FIVE matrix choices, but you only invest ONE single time. When you cycle, you are automatically put back in at no extra cost to you. Wouldn’t you like to generate $100, $200 or even, $3200 over and over again with only one initial out-of-pocket cost?

CMS, our Constant Marketing System, will promote your website for you; it’s part of your initial entry fee. This is a set-it and forget-it program. The referrals you bring in, or your CMS brings in for you, pays 20% to you when they cycle. Sweet.

Discover the power, simplicity and huge potential. First join PJ, (it’s free) http://ProgramJunkies.com/?twigs    then join us in the 2x2magic program.


December 2, 2007 - The Yes! Factor

In this dream you are running a marathon. Imagine that feeling of crossing the finish line first – thighs screaming and lungs bursting. The crowd is cheering and calling your name.

Or in this dream; you are at the Derby and your horse is coming up on the outside; steadily gaining until he is leading by a length and you know your bet is safe. Even the jockey raises his right fist in the air and screams --Yes! It’s his victory as well as yours.

Can you remember the last time this happy moment was yours? A joyous time, that triumphant moment, a time you won’t ever forget. You attempted the impossible and you won. You balled your fists, held them high in the air and let go with a big Yes! for all to hear.

It has become a victory expression we all understand. We smile when we hear it from across the room even when we don’t know what caused it.

Getting a Yes! now and then makes you feel better about yourself, your job or career, your friends, family and your life. We all like to win.

Win now with PJ and avoid those programs that are stacked against you. It’s free to join and is leading us right now to our next Yes! factor. Hurry, don’t waste a moment.

November 23, 2007 – The Next Big Money-Maker

Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle, when the sun comes up you better start running.

As humans, we try to run as fast or faster than our competitors. Ideally we’d like an advantage -- an “in” with the heavy hitters on the next big money-maker. This would put us ahead of the curve and earnings would reward us first and all others later.

People don’t expect the road to riches to be in plain sight. Every Guru has a secret to share and I’ve heard them all. The big secret is – there is no secret! But I have found an “in” with the heavy hitters. Their job is to help me earn money with the right programs and avoid losing money with the wrong ones.

They not only tell me what programs to join, they tell me what to expect and when to drop out because the big money has already been earned. They have proven to me how easy it is to build an increasing residual income, so I don’t have to chase any more programs. 

These powerful liaisons with seasoned professionals can be to your benefit as well as mine. So let’s make some money and have fun doing it.

November 23, 2007 – Connecting the Dots

In many circles you might have the same reaction declaring yourself a leper when you speak of being in network marketing.

It’s the old Ponzi game that sticks in the mind like spaghetti to the wall. But nobody takes issue with the tiered compensation structure because almost every large sales organization in the world has that. Sales people get commissions. Sales managers get overrides or bonuses, and sales directors on top of that, and VPs on top of that.

There may be a perception problem here that is out of line with the reality.

The idea of making money right away without special skills or major investment always appeals to the masses. And the promise of residual income seems to be the cure for avoiding our current financial position ever again. The real fear lies in the selection; finding a winner among the scams.

The solution: don’t look for the winners – you probably won’t recognize them anyway. Get “in” with the Heavy Hitters. Or second best get next to someone who is well-connected with them.

He has a team of members that you join. His contacts of Heavy Hitters know that he has a fast acting, intelligent and responsive team of members, so it’s profitable to let him know first; even before they pre-launch.

He tells you in advance what’s coming online and when. He has worked out exclusivity for his members for a few hours or a day. He’ll tell you when to get in, and when to get out. You are never, ever presented with a “suckers bet”, only winners.

Now just connect the dots.

November 18, 2007 – The TriUnity Money Stream

With equal satisfaction, two scientists in white jackets are studying a test tube: “We’ll name the disease after you and the cure after me”, one of them states.

It’s supposed to be a joke but with today’s television advertising a pill for every conceivable complaint – it’s begun to be a way of life and I often wonder if this scenario is more truth than fiction.

Yet pharmaceuticals are netting big profits for the companies and for the salespeople who know the value of the word “re-order”.  We only have to look at Avon, Mary Kay, or Amway to realize that your new customer is most likely your customer for life. If the product is of value and lives up to its promises, word-of-mouth is your most valuable advertisement.

There is a concept in Network Marketing that states, “Build wide for profit, build deep for security”. Avon still does this. Mary Kay customers love their cosmetics and wouldn’t be without their beauty supplies. For many years, Amway salespeople made thousands weekly with repeat customers.

Is it any different today? Certainly not… most particularly with health issues. For the best long-term business opportunity in this industry today, you should at least explore TriUnity – it was chosen as one of the solid 5-core programs of PJ for good reason.

This single money stream will net you handsomely.  All commissions mailed to your home.

November 17, 2007 – Today’s Rainmaker

Read enough history and you learn that a century ago the American Indians exalted the Rainmaker. He had magical powers to bring rain and nourish their crops. A good harvest of maze meant his people would eat during the long, cold winter.

Today’s Rainmaker is a person who brings in the most sales for his company. Sales are the lifeblood of any program; without Rainmakers the best organizations die. Rainmakers = profits.

Everyone wants to be a Rainmaker – big storm or steady drizzle. These talents are a result of delivering on the promises and learning to say “you” instead of “I”.

Your customer doesn’t care that you need two sales this week. They don’t care about your quotas or why your site went down for an hour. They care less about what you like, where you schooled, what sports you play or have played. They only care about themselves and their problems. You have met them only because they believe you might be able to better their situation.

Remember that you are there by invitation  – you must be on high acceptance at all times. Don’t talk about yourself.  Listen to what he/she says and nod in agreement. Never hurry a sales meeting.

Now… place that ad and pray for rain.

November 14, 2007 – Backstage with the Big Hitters

A place of envy; sitting in on the next biggie that’s about to burst open on the Internet. There’s a special sort of camaraderie where bragging rights are deserved and new ideas are honed. I don’t have an in, but I have the next best thing: ProgramJunkies.

The Owners of ProgramJunkies have nearly 25 years of combined network marketing experience and have truly been there, done that with every conceivable type of program, system and over-hyped project. They understand all the income and equity alternatives – what works, and what doesn’t. I am one of their members, and you should be too.

The liaisons they enjoy with seasoned professionals benefit their network of PJ members in cash flow and residual income. They like to call these hot, fast moving programs, First Alerts. The idea is to get in first, actually before any pre-launch, and get out if, or when, we are given the word.

It’s time to stop making money just for the big hitters and help ourselves for a change. It’s a great feeling to put my future on this new service because they recognize programs that are truly “sucker bets” and we never see them as PJ members. Naturally, joining these First Alerts is optional and the next will be offered the week after Thanksgiving.

Sure, this can be short term income as programs run their course, but we’ll be adding new sources of income while the others die out. Ride the wave for quick money while PJ’s Core Programs earn you long term residuals.

By avoiding the obvious losers and concentrating on high probability winners, making money is fun again.

October 27, 2007 – Hollow Corporations

Loyalty to corporations is morphing into a new independent model of the working person. This trend is more respectful to the family as well as to the human spirit. Today, if you have a laptop computer and a cell phone, you can run a corporation with no personnel, no office, and no inventory. And you can do this from your home.

When a company produces none of their products but outsources everything… that’s a successful business. Think of it as a symbiotic relationship where the entrepreneur can offer for sale on the Internet, any number of high end products and have them drop-shipped from the manufacturer -- globally anywhere.

There are companies an entrepreneur can contract with for this purpose. They provide the customers with all of the back end functions including fulfillment of the product. They handle all of the standard shopping cart functions, inventory management, customer database reports, and all sales data necessary as well as credit card processing. This lets you focus on your entrepreneurial business: marketing the products.

While you may want to Incorporate your home business, it would be considered a “hollow corporation” because there is no brick and mortar storefront or list of employees. You don’t need deliveries or postal pickups and have no use for letterhead stationary. Some do use a website to generate sales, and eBay has many such attractions.

But this is still second best to Leveraged Income, because profits from yesterday’s sales will not earn you a dime today. You must sell again. Given the choice, I’ll take Leveraged Income any day.

October 20, 2007 – Changes in Retirement 

Some time ago General Motors ran their ads on the phrase: This is not your father’s Oldsmobile.  Today, the Oldsmobile has been discontinued. Similarly with downsizing, out-sourcing and home-based businesses: this is not your father’s retirement plan.

The first baby-boomer collected a Social Security check in October of this year, and another 78 million will follow her over the next few years. Will the government hold up under this burden?  Not without raising taxes or cutting benefits – or both!

Sure, we want to enjoy retirement but in this millennium it will have to be a case of continuing to be productive… perhaps on a reduced scale.  Because we are all living longer we are better off just saying “no” to full retirement.

If you have knowledge, acquiring money is relatively easy if you’re willing to work at it. At or near retirement, we should be able to find something that we love to do and put in a short day fulfilling that passion. Volunteering, travel, health projects, business opportunities, writing or getting into the arts are all things to be considered.

The world is changing. The challenges and complexities are of an entirely new order and magnitude. Individual effectiveness is no longer an option – survival in today’s world requires it.

Learning to generate leveraged income is your answer, and it’s all explained in this free eBook. Download your copy and stay ahead of the curve.

October 12, 2007 – The Wage Slaves

We should never settle for anything less than doing what we love -- write, travel, paint, ski, surf, or any other passion that fills your heart. Of course when we are young a true calling may not have made itself visible yet; and we find ourselves floundering.

Years ago telemarketing made its beginning with Corporate America. I took a job with a firm known as head-hunters. We sold bodies -- we were paid a portion of the salary a company offered for a good secretary, typist or personnel director. At the time computer programmers were the competitive rage but I had no Internet knowledge back then.

The office Manager gave me a short training lesson. He put the phonebook in front of me and opened it to the yellow pages. “Start with A”, he said with a devilish grin, “and dial for dollars”.

The business of cold-calling is a slow day’s work for a low day’s pay. Few companies were willing to pay for a typist or secretary which was my assignment. Days of doing something unfulfilling doesn’t give any sense of reward. It makes “dreary” sound like a compliment.

My yellow-brick road has been long and difficult, but the rewards have been reached. I didn’t find Emerald City, but Diamonds, and the value of generating leveraged income well into my future.

October 9, 2007 – Going to Seed

Have you ever noticed that some people go to seed early in their lives while others seem to stay vital to the very end of their days? I have puzzled over this occasionally, trying to come up with some reasons. 

I read about Dr. Forrest Bird, who invented the first ventilator saving millions of lives. His first product was primitive, but he kept improving on it year after year until he won the Lifetime Scientific Achievement Award in 1985, and another one in 2005.

Perhaps for others, life presented tougher problems than they could handle. Maybe a major wound to their self-esteem sent them into a downward spiral.  Or did they simply run so hard for so long that they forgot what they were running for?

Due to the encouragement of his father, a WWl pilot, Bird became a pilot at an early age and performed his first solo flight at age 14. By age 16, he was working to obtain multiple major pilot certifications that included jet aircraft and helicopters.

During his adult years, Bird subsequently made a ventilator for infants, nicknamed the “Babybird”; responsible for reducing the rate of breathing-related infant mortality from 70% to 10%.

At 86 years, Dr. Bird is still an active, highly qualified FAA certificated Flight Instructor Pilot and Aeronautical Engineer. He remains an ardent Lecturer as well as Educator, with deep Research and Development commitments in Aeromedicine.

Here’s one bloom that refuses to go to seed.

October 3, 2007 – Non Secrets of the Rich

There are new studies out and I’m an avid reader of any new approach to a common problem, and this one begins with the premise that excellence is not the opposite of failure.

The practice of studying failure to achieve excellence in the past was to study the difference between unhappy clients vs happy ones, divorce vs happy marriages, sadness vs joy, or sickness vs health.

This research also includes a study in teams. The unproductive teams say, in the workplace or in sports argued a lot.  The successful teams argued just as much, but the study found a big difference in what went on in between the arguments.

Organizations pay homage to team studies because they know people are their greatest asset. Using a bit of psychology, teams began to label “what’s right with us” to get their strengths together. Focusing on those few things where they are ‘the best in the world’ like Starbucks, Best Buy or Dell, they could move from good to great. By doing this they made their weaknesses irrelevant.

Sounds like common sense, which isn’t so common anymore.

September 30, 2007 – The Road to Happyville

If you’re like us, you are working professionals managing to deal with the endless parade of bills, mortgage payments, raising two teenage kids and maybe splurging on a few goodies for the holidays. Vacations are low-cost family affairs, not cruises to the Caribbean or yearly Disney World extravaganzas. 

You don’t realize it, but for one out of six – Home-Sweet-Home sales can set you free. I say one out of six because like us, you would be near middle age and have held onto your home for more than 15 years. Your home has built-in equity that is a valuable asset today.

Think about making use of this, but only after you have set up some “leveraged income” that will carry you through retirement with monthly checks. You can be setting this in place with the Home-Sweet-Home sale in mind when it is completed.

Let’s say during the final years of the kids schooling, you write a book. Even if you gave this full time attention it’s a laborious task and you must have the blessing of a publisher before you complete Chapter Three. With this green light, you now realize that royalties or leveraged income from this book is going to serve you for many years. A comforting thought with the instability of Social Security.

But today, you don’t have to have an author’s talents. We have the Internet. A world-wide shot at making leveraged income. The real opportunities are there but it takes time to find and develop; like our book example above. The laborious task is in discovering a true gem among all that sparkle offered on the Net.

With all due diligence and many false starts we found our green light. You can do it too. We can help.

September 28, 2007 – Never Gone or Back Again

When my husband graduated High School, he was the first of four boys and the family had a great celebration. The next morning his dad took him to the Navy Recruiting Center in Tampa, Florida. This was the beginning of his 20-year career.

There is no time limit on good parenthood.  Back then the obligation was to feed, shelter, educate and teach them right from wrong as a minor. Unless a college degree was being completed or the young adult had a physical handicap, further support was not an accepted idea.

Yet today we see 20 year olds still in High School and 40 year olds returning home with their babies in tow. How long are parents supposed to support their grown children? I have a 21 year old nephew who has never worked, driven a car, or mowed a lawn – he likes computer games. He plays them all night long. He eats, sleeps and apparently is addicted to video games and most likely at his age, other internet offerings.

The first suggestion people have made is to cut off his Internet connection. Sure, that was my idea too. But he has threatened to burn down the house and everyone knows he means it. Rudeness and disrespect for parents is not rare today. I see the beginnings of it in pre-school tantrums that when ignored, grow to criminal results.  

My husband and I grew up respecting our parents and if college was not in the picture, our independence came with High School graduation. We celebrated our free spirits and set about finding our place as productive Americans.

What went wrong with this younger generation is not a mystery to anyone who watches an hour of news daily.  How to fix it is the real mystery.

September 26, 2007 – Entrepreneur: The New Force

America’s industrial era is fading fast but old strengths usually become future weaknesses it seems. The new force is the entrepreneur. A rapidly growing new business thanks to the Internet and world-wide communication.

We see builders, artists, brewers, authors, jewelers, sculptors and many Internet specialists all born with an entrepreneurial spirit. Plan your journey today; focus your efforts on independence – both time and money-wise.

With the looming retirement of 78 million baby boomers, there appears to be no easy fix for Social Security. This should be a red flag to everyone over thirty. Ignore this at your peril because future survival depends on your actions today.

Nearly half of these 78 million will still work after retirement because they fear they will grow bored with idleness, while others are reluctant to give up the meaning and direction that a work-week offers. The other half will find some self-satisfying volunteer work because their need is in helping others.  Not any however, will participate in protest marches or sit-ins; they make that statement loud and clear.

In the end, they all search for the big answer: what is my life all about?

September 24, 2007 – The Opportunity Junkie

I’m a self-confessed opportunity junkie. It was the big reason for my credit card debt and the deaf ears of family and when I spoke of a new program. But even while I lost yet again, I persevered; each time learning a new lesson. My education on the Internet has not been cheap. Does this story sound familiar?

Today of course, I have the whole enchilada and the awesome thing about Internet marketing is that after finding the perfect company, with the perfect product and compensation plan, I carried it one step further and made anyone’s chances of success (including my own) just about 100% guaranteed… and that’s not a word to be used lightly.

Let’s consider some facts: with most opportunities there’s always strength in numbers. Look at the fast food business – $1.3 million aside, would you like to own a McDonald’s franchise? If you did your chances for success are just about 100% guaranteed! Why? Because they have everything figured out for you – all the trial and errors have been completed and you benefit. Every risk factor has been removed except one unknown; your ability.

If one finally finds the fool-proof system and improves its very success by engineering new members on a constant basis, why wouldn’t you give this information away; particularly in a re-cycling program. The more that join, the more long-term the company will be active, and the more times every member cycles through.

The Internet and Direct Marketing is probably the best kept money making secret in the world. And I’ve just handed you that secret.

September 21, 2007 – Internet Success

There have been so many “Johnny-come-lately” authors making money on their “secrets” that it’s hard to know beforehand if yet a new title might be worth $67. Most of these self-proclaimed gurus have never actually had any real business success, yet somehow feel qualified to educate others.

And of course the only reason they are sharing this with us is because they’re sick and tired of reading about “the 95% who have failed to make it on the Net”. Well if that really was the reason they’d be giving it away. Forgive my cynical posture here; one gets tired of hearing the same ole crap.

Get real -- 95% failure rate on the Net is an excellent target market if you’re looking to make some serious money; whether it’s your first million or you’re adding to your last million. Yet most of them will claim their book is worth so much more, but if you buy it before midnight tonight you can have it for $67. More crap. Bring up the website tomorrow and you’ll see the date has magically changed.

Testimonials from other Guru’s, real or embellished, are just more of the same. By the time it’s published and available to you, it’s been regurgitated in a dozen new eBooks. Technology and strategies on the Internet change at the speed of light and what worked yesterday may not be the best solution today.

Let’s not forget those important “back-end sales”… the authors count on that and they have your email address.

September 18, 2007 – Give’em What They Want

The Internet is perfect for anybody who wants to start a business and doesn’t want to risk a lot of money. Plus, you don’t need to have any special education or background to get started making your fortune.

Based on the fact that people don’t buy what they need, they buy what they want; we can suggest some reverse engineering here. People buy what they desire, what they feel they can’t live without, what everyone else already has and they don’t. People buy what they crave!

It’s far too much work to create the “want” for a product. Instead let’s find the “want” and create a product for it. This virtually guarantees success as in: are you selling what people already want?

In a recent poll, most wanted easy income, financial success, less money worries, freedom from credit card debt, and I could list another 50 ways but they all said more money… that was the common denominator. They want an easier lifestyle, an end to the struggle every month, a vacation now and then.  Is that so much to ask?

We didn’t think so. That’s why we promote the Diamond Cash Club as a means to leveraged income. It’s not a get-rich-quick plan, but if you can invest a small amount of money for a few short months, you can re-cycle your membership over and over with $8000 payouts each time. This takes patience, teamwork and a positive mindset.

Look it over – you may be as impressed as we were.

September 17, 2007 – Salting Your Advertisements

There’s a good reason why local bars or cafés keep peanuts and pretzels on the bar without charge: salt makes you thirsty… they sell drinks.

If as writers of sales and marketing advertisements, use this information it would be to our advantage. Salting the last line of our ads will keep everyone thirsty to hear what we have to say in our next piece?

Authors of novels do this at the end of each chapter and refer to it as a ‘cliff hanger’. They don’t want you to stop reading. What better compliment than, “I couldn’t put it down”?

It’s much better to have great marketing and a poor product, than the other way around. Great marketing and a poor product will make you some money. Poor marketing and a great product probably won’t. That’s not to say that you should sell poor products, but serves as an example of using every advantage going.

Salt your advertisements with that little extra info that will make them thirsty to read more. Never hype – people have been overdosed with empty promises and their finger hovers over that ‘delete’ key.

September 14, 2007 – The Centurion Team

The best way to show the advantages of joining DCC under our Team leadership is to first explain what we are doing for each team member. This is optional, and certainly not a Company requirement. Diamond Cash Club works on a 2-target matrix system, the second target (Diamond), recycles each member over and over with a payout of $8000; obviously the faster you get there, the more times you recycle.

On a first-come-first-serve basis we list all members on our website in the order they entered our team, and in turn we work on their behalf. Our mission is two-fold… get each member their “qualifying” two sales (a company requirement), and move them ASAP into the Diamond target for the first of many big payouts.

Other than talking about their success, there is little for any member to do. There are however, two things we must have in agreement. As you become more and more familiar with the DCC program and the Centurions, you will see that these are the necessary ingredients for a successful and rapid advancement of all members into multiple money streams.

 One: DCC gives each member a replicated website, with a URL for advertising - it will look like this:  http://diamondcashclub.com/xxxx   using your “business” name. We ask that you do not use this to make your sales. The Centurions will do this for you… this is absolute and no exceptions will be granted. As we work on each member’s advancement, our task must be fair and uninterrupted. If you know of someone interested in joining, send them to our webpage listed below.

Two: Your first payout (only) in Diamond will be $14,000, all other recycles in Diamond will be $8000. You must agree to re-invest $2000 back into the company. Let me explain the benefit to you… and to the team. Buying 10 new memberships allows our Team Moderator to pull yet another team member into Diamond – the same way we pulled you there. These 10 memberships however, are YOURS. You buy them, we place them, you earn the payouts from them. This is a win-win!

We will treat your 10 new memberships exactly like we did your first one – placing 2 “qualifying” sales under each, moving them in turn to Diamond so each of those new memberships will earn you another payout like your first.  You now have 10 memberships moving towards Diamond and 1 re-cycling. Ultimately you will plus this by 10 new ones when each completes the matrix.

With the Centurions on your side, wealth is inevitable.

September 13, 2007 – Seeking New Ants

I hear what you’re thinking: why Ants? Well give me a better example of teamwork and I’ll change my title.  They certainly are most aware of the other ants on the team, their needs and concerns. They are supportive of other team worker’s efforts and avoid conflicts while promoting harmony. Certain tasks are performed without complaint including the abundance of food brought back for the benefit of all.

Many companies are trying to incorporate this ant-strategy with workers all sharing ideas and cooperating with each other within the workweek. Some have surprising results, others have little or none.

Speaking from personal experience, I can testify to the advantages of one such success. In the business of gems, the Diamond Cash Club is a new concept of MLM; removing the flaws while keeping the huge income benefits. Within that company are several Teams… some working proficiently, others not moving forward as quickly as they could with
