You Better Hurry On This One

Monday marked one month that I have been promoting the Free1up business. Let me tell you I have made more money in my first month with this business than any Internet Business I have promoted. And you know what? It is just starting!

Free1up is itself just over two months old and still in the Trial Pre-Launch as the owner, Richard Morris wants to be sure every thing is tested and in place before we exit the Trial mode and enter the actual Pre-Launch. So, while things are still being tested and everything is not even in place, myself and others are making real money. I wonder what it will be like when we launch!

Free1up is "free" to join and "free" to remain a member as there is no monthly fee. You can join for free and you are immediately given your very own replicated website that you can begin immediately to promote and it does the selling for you. In addition, you are given access to your "back office" where you will find a listing of advertising resources, access to the three times a week Q & A call and webcast (more on this later), a Private Messenger System to communicate with your upline and downline, and much more.

Here's what is coming when we leave the trial phase:

• The Ad System ...It provides laser targeted advertising so that you never waste money on advertising that doesn't work!
• Forever Followup system ... follows up on all free enrollees by email as long as it takes for them to either upgrade or remove themselves.
• Live Sales Executives ... 24/7 to answer new enrollees questions and move them toward the paid status for us!
• Payment processor ... real time payment that accepts credit cards, etc. Immediate payment to the front office and immediate payment to us the sponsors! No more Money Orders, etc.

Here's why I said you better hurry...right now you can get in for free and start promoting and actually earn money before you have to make a purchase for the Ad System. After Trial phase is over, you will only have a strict 7 days to upgrade. The Ad System costs only $100 lifetime. $50 Goes to the company and $50 comes straight to your sponsor no waiting, no delays. Then thru the use of the 1up compensation plan, your initial sale starts and endless stream of residual money (see my post "There's a Major Shift Coming").

Goodbye 2006 and Hello 2007!

When we were kids we loved to play hide-n-seek with the neighborhood kids. The person who was "it", would have to hide their eyes and count to some specified number while the rest of us scattered in different directions to our hiding places. As the counter finished their count, they would proclaim, "Ready or not, here I come," and the hunt was on.

Well, "Ready or not" here comes a brand new year! There is no stopping time. It is now, 2007 ready or not, like it or not. Here's some advice for closing out one year and barging boldly ahead into a new year.

Never let last year use up too much of this year. Were there failures in 2006? Most surely there were. Were there successes in 2006? Again, most surely there were.

Do not let the failures of the past bring fear into the present. Yesterday and last year ended last night. It is more important now to look ahead and prepare for the adventures of 2007 than to look back bemoan and regret the shortcomings of the past Vivian Larramore said, "I've shut the door on yesterday and thrown the key away -- tomorrow holds no fears for me, since I've found today."

What about your successes. You must not look back and rest on your laurels. If you had success yesterday, you can have success today but only by continuing to do the things that produce success. The key is to not stop and think you have arrived but to build on yesterdays victories. Use the past as your launching pad rather than your lawn chair.

John Mason included the following in his powerful little book, "Let Go of Whatever Makes You Stop:

"Keep you eye on the road, and use your rear-view mirror only to avoid trouble" (Daniel Meacham). Stop taking journeys into the past. Don't make the mistake of letting yesterday use up too much of today.

Have a happy and blessed New Year!

There's A Major Shift Coming ...

There is a major shift underway. If there is anything constant about Internet Marketing it is that it is in continual state of change. Either you stay up and move with it or you get left sadly behind.

I recently was listening to a recorded conversation between the late Marketing guru, Corey Rudl and his mentor, Dan Kennedy that was made just days before Corey's untimely death. When Corey first heard about the internet, he did a search for "Autos" and found 259 results. What do you think the result would be in 2006?

Okay, so things are moving fast and changing on the internet and you have to stay on top of it. One big change that is taking place has to do with the kinds of business programs that are being promoted. The old model multi-level plan is being replaced by forced matrix's and powerlines.

But wait, there is a new shift on the horizon that will soon make the matrix's and powerlines obsolete...it is the one-up systems that are quickly gaining in popularity. Originally, used in extremely high-dollar programs, more and more $50 and $100 programs are using the one or two up system where your first sale becomes a training sale and the commission is passed up to your sponsor. Thus, the one-up.

Remember, the driving force behind most business opportunities both online and offline is the development of "residual" income that continues to come in long after the initial sale. In traditional plans, that came from the thousands of people that would eventually be on the lower levels of your organization in the form of very small amounts multiplied many times. To develop any serious residual income from typical networks required the recruitment of thousands of people who would continue to stay active and create sales. It has worked and created many millionaires, but in all reality it takes a long time to develop that kind of residual income.

The one-up and two-up systems speed that process up exponentially and are creating millionaires at a much more rapid rate. Briefly, here is how it works. Bob brings you into a one-up business and you begin to promote. When you sign-up Ted, Ted becomes your "training sale" or one-up, meaning that Ted and the commission from Ted's purchase goes up to Bob and you then become "qualified." After your initial "training sale," you get to keep 100% of your commission on sales to Susan, George, and Joe and they create your "paylines."

A payline works like this. When Susan makes her first sale, it is her "training sale" and the commission and the person passes up to you as her sponsor. Then, Susan is "qualified" and able to start her own "paylines." The same goes for George and Joe as well.

Here's what that means for you in terms of "residual income." The "training sale" that comes from Susan also must make a "training sale" in order to become "qualified." That training sale and that person come to you and that person must also make a "training sale" before becoming "qualified" and starting their own paylines. Again, you get that "training sale" and this keeps happening through infinity. That becomes tremendous residual income.

It is a new concept and is quickly gaining in popularity with programs like, Coastal, PAS, and other high-dollar programs, but is now popping up over the past year in lower ticket programs like The One Step System, Free1up and others. I'll write more on the one-up concept in another article.

Are You a Good Sponsor...Do You Have a Good Sponsor?

Are you a good Sponsor? Do you have a good Sponsor? This is what I want to deal with in this post.

I have been in various Network Marketing businesses for almost 30 years. Amway was my first venture back in the late '70's when people were really making big money in it. Living in North Carolina at the time, I was priviliged to personally meet Bill Britt and Chuck Yeager, two of the earlier multi-millionaires. What I learned from that early experience through to the present is the importance of one's Sponsor.

Your sponsor in any kind of network marketing, affiliate, internet or otherwise business can be critical to your success. This seems to especially be true with Internet Marketing type businesses where it is more and more impersonal and you just deal with faceless names on a computer screen. Here are some things you need from your Sponsor and this is what I feel a Sponsor should strive to be or do:

1. Credibility -- It is best to have a sponsor with experience but it is better to have one with character. Credibility is developed from one's experience and knowledge put into action through one's character. In short, your sponsor should "know what they are talking about," but have the character to admit when they "don't know what they are talking about."
2. Accessibility -- Can you get in touch with your sponsor when you need to? What if you want to bounce an idea off them before you spend a bunch of money, will they be available? Is it possible to pick up the phone and call them or do they at least return emails. I personally prefer those in my team to email me with most things because then I have a written record of their question or concern. Still, I take all phone calls and make every effort to return messages left.
3. Reliability -- Can you count on your sponsor to do what they say they are going to do. This is not always a character issue, but do they have the time, talent, or treasure to do what they intend to do...especially when you are counting on them. I have to really work on not over promising. If I say I am going to do something, I better know I have what it takes to do it.
4. Accountability -- As a sponsor, I cannot be a lone ranger, bringing multitudes of new enrollees on board, but leaving them as orphans. If I sign someone up in a program, I must be accountable to that person for what I do or do not do later. Your sponsor needs to be aware that their actions can have a big impact on your business.
5. Ability -- Finally, does your sponsor have any ability? They may be ever so nice, but if they have no ability, you need to strongly consider whether you should sign up under them or not. Some clues to look for...what kind of emails do they write, what does their personal website look like, are they professional on the phone, etc.

Finally, you probably do not want some Huge Internet Guru as your sponsor as you may only become a number to them, but you do want to seriously consider some of the above before you just blindly sign up under the first person who presents you.

eBay Is Still a Great Source For Christmas Funds

Two years ago, we were going to be short on Christmas money and I decided to give eBay a try. This was the beginning of my online marketing experience. I went into it never having personally been on eBay before as a buyer or seller.

I began visiting Marshall's and Ross and any other large retailer that sold first quality, name-brand and designer clothing at off-prices. At the "Clearance" rack, I would search for designer items with original price tags . I found many items originally tagged well over $100 in price that were on clearance at $5 - $20 that I was able to sell on eBay at 200-400% profit!

The amazing result was that we had one of the best Christmases ever! I know that a lot of money can be made on eBay if you learn the secrets. What I was missing was that I did not have a steady product source. Let me introduce you to a great eBook that will unlock the mysteries of eBay marketing.

This book will show you how you can outdo the Power Sellers and do it all with only an hour a day. You can get it right here: http://www.membersite.biz/2/ebaySecrets.php?id=15861

You Can Have Your Own Money Generating Website

I have just run across a great little money maker website that I now own as my very own. It is a membership site called "Daily Payday.com" and is loaded with money making opportunities.

First of all, it is a membership site that anyone can join for free and they receive one just like it. That is what I did, I joined for free and received one just like the one I joined. Now, I did see the benefit of upgrading and did so, but you can have one of these websites totally FREE!

Now, when you get the site, it is loaded with tools to market the site so that others join your site and get their own money generating website. Well, that's all well and good, you might say, but how do I make money with it? Here are several ways:

1. You can upgrade for $20 per month. Then, you can receive membership fees from those who join your site and decide to upgrade. One upgrade and you are in money.
2. The site has a ton of FREE software, eBooks, marketing tools, etc with full resale rights. You can make a nice sum of money just selling them or give some of them away as incentives.
3. Dozens of additional websites marketing almost everything imaginable. You make and keep 100% of the sales price!
4. The ads you see on this site are from the Daily Payday.com website and I get to keep 100% of everything I sell through these ads! I replaced Google's ads with them because I sure don't get 100% from Google.

You really ought to check out this cash cow right now. It would be well worth your $20 investment. Heres the link RIGHT HERE
