How To Monetize Your Blog





Are you branding yourself online using a blog?


If so do you know how to monetize it? Would you like to have your blog paid for and get paid to blog at the same time?


I've come across a new self-funded blogging program that actually pays down 5 levels to refer this blogging service to other entrepreneurs - (I just imported all of my blog content from blogspot to this service.) All of my content for the last five years imported easily into this blog which uses Wordpress.


I was on the phone with one of the partners for over an hour last Friday and we have another call set up for this week to go over more questions.


If you have been looking for a way to have your own personalized blog to promote your business, build your presence online, brand yourself and at the same time earn some extra money referring others or just have your own blog paid for, this may be a valuable system for you and others you know who are looking for ways to promote their business.


It's Free for the first 30 days so give it a whirl! It's only $9.95 a month after that. Right now I'm paying over $70 a month for various personal websites/blogs and planning to eventually streamline everything into this self-funded system for $9.95 a month. With just ten referrals your blog is paid for and you will be listed at the top of the search engines too.


Even though I've been branding myself and building a business online for over thirteen years I'm not a technical person. I have no idea how search engines work so leave that to these experts! They have all the training in place to plug into that will show you how to set up your blog and/or transfer your current content from various blogging platforms over to this one. It's very simple step by step training that will have you up and running in no time promoting your business.


I'm here to assist you with any marketing questions you may have because that's my expertise - networking, making connections, sponsoring, training and building a long term residual income.


Take a peek and see if this is something you can use to brand yourself and promote your business -

Building Your Business & Teach Your Team To Fish




Finding BIG Fish!


Copyright © 2000 by Sue Seward. All Rights Reserved. (Revised 2010)


It has taken some time to finally realize the importance of seeking out seriously motivated, self starting people that are looking for a new business opportunity right now. In other words, they are already in the looking zone and open to new ideas and ways to increase their revenue streams.


In the beginning I would sponsor anyone that would sign the paperwork! Everyone was a target! Not such a good thing, hey what do you expect from a newbie and besides that’s what we were taught to do.


Most of these people were really not serious and did not realize that a business takes consistent effort, persistence and focus. There’s no get rich quick over night success opportunities out there unless you plan to win the lottery someday and that someday may never come. It takes years of hard work and initiative.


If someone tells you they will build your business, or this system will build your business, turn the other way because that’s not true. Network Marketing is a real business just like any other business . You decide how much time to take.


There's no free lunch and no such thing as a downline building club. Emails come in from people I’ve never met saying “you have to join this X builder program now because you have a 100 people in your downline already!” Oh yeah? So who are these 100 people and where did they come from?


Personally I decided years ago to take on the attitude of Showshawme, an ordinary fellow who started years ago in Cell Tech. He is listed in Richard Poe's book Wave 3, under chapter 6, Catch a Big Fish. This particular story caught my eye because there are some valuable lessons to be learned about putting fishing lines in the water. Here's a little snippet -


"Showshawme is a "big fish". He's the sort of catch for which every new distributor in network marketing is avidly angling. Yet Showshawme is no superman. He has no special skills or unusual techniques. He’s just an ordinary fellow that does some extraordinary fishing.


How did he do it? Simple. Showshawme recruited other big fish. He says "my income didn't come from sponsoring lots of people," he says, "It came from sponsoring only two or three main lines. And from those two or three people, hundreds of thousands of other people have come."


Showshawme targeted his fish with a shrewd eye to their personal and professional spheres of influence. He knew exactly who he wanted to work with and how they would help him build his business. Then Showshawme zeroed in on his prospects with relentless persistence and won them to his cause. (he built relationships and made friends with people that he wanted to work with, people that had great circles of influence.


So the morale of this story is? Knowing whom to target and when to turn on the pressure are key skills that, when mastered, have the potential to turbo charge your business with an extraordinary Butterfly Effect.


Focus on learning these skills that will help you personally become a more effective leader, sponsor, Network Marketing Professional and develop into a fisher of people!

What is more valuable - time or money?



Bluebonnets everywhere! And they just keep on producing all over the place once they've been planted!



Jim Rohn said "Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you can't get more time."


It's the end of March and another super month of people joining our business to take back control of their lives!


It’s also the beginning of spring and the middle of the current Prime Recruiting Season.


When done correctly, the productivity you achieve over the next 90 days can cause your downline to be in full-blown momentum by the middle of summer. Then by next fall during the next Prime Recruiting Season, your downline could explode from all the extra seed planting you did in the spring.


Be sure that you have a good supply of consistent leads flowing through your pipeline. If you do not let me know and I will refer you to some excellent lead sources. Every month I buy two shares in our team Pay Per Click coop and we are signing people up every month from this coop using our team online marketing website system.


I caution those who are only using social media to depend on for building their business. This can be a deceiving business building method because it’s just that – ‘social’ – media.


How many people have signed up this month from social media methods? I’ll answer that question for myself - none. We have however signed up several distributors from our pay per click leads and have several others who are interested.


What social media can do for your business is take up a lot of your valuable time. Time that could be spent in calling and connecting with real people who are interested in starting a business with you. These are people who have actually requested that you call them and assist them in starting a business. Why not be spending time with these people? They are out there waiting for you to pick up the phone and call them!


A social media connection usually already has a business so really all you could be doing is spinning your wheels with them. Yes it’s great to make a connection and build a relationship because you never know when someone you meet from social media could be in the looking zone that's true too.


I've been making connections online for over thirteen years and have never depended on social media solely to build my business. In fact, it's a very small piece of the pie. A sliver actually because of the saturation of the Internet over the years especially in this area.


The point I’m making here is if someone is depending totally on social media to build their business they may be ‘deceived’ and could end up with a very slow building business in the long run. So why not spread your seeds out?


The better way to build your business is with people who are in the looking zone. That means hot/warm market or cold market. You choose. The business will not build by itself and it will not build with social media alone.


It's important to consistently be putting people in your pipeline and then follow through and follow up and duplicate the same process with your team! If all there is is a bunch of social media groopies all hanging out socializing, then who's building a real business and more importantly who's mentoring the team?

Meantime -

1) If people wanted to make more money before, they really want to now.


2) Tax Refund checks are giving people the extra funds to get started.


3) People are looking and getting started. Someone is going to sell or sponsor them why not you?


4) When approached "correctly", most people are nice, pleasant, and interested especially when they requested to be called in the first place. Make sense?


We encourage distributors if you want to get your business to grow then double, triple, or do everything you can to multiply/duplicate your efforts. This means taking Massive Action in picking up your phone and calling people who have asked you to call and help them right now!


By the way if you are looking for leads, here's another lead source we've used and recommend from - http://www.mlmleads.com
